Can marry
Wu Qi was truly exhausted, so exhausted that he could barely keep his eyes open. He vaguely sensed someone entering, and his mind went into overdrive. After a moment, he realized that it was Yi Shen who had come.
She couldn't hear what Yi Shen said or do, but instinctively she turned over and grabbed Yi Shen's hand before even opening her eyes.
Wu Qi thought that not only was she tired, but Yi Shen was also very tired. Just because Yi Shen didn't say anything didn't mean we could ignore his exhaustion.
It was an extremely tiring task for a few scattered people to try to hold back the collapsing mountain.
A pair of warm hands touched her cheek, and she heard Yi Shen say, "You're not tired, you should get some sleep."
Wu Qi hummed in agreement, then snuggled closer to Yi Shen, resting his head on his lap and mumbled, "Yi Shen, you should get some sleep too."
She rested her head on Yi Shen's lap. How could Yi Shen sleep? If she were awake, she would definitely smile and pull Yi Shen onto the bed so that he could get a good night's sleep.
But she was really tired and sleepy, so she used Yi Shen's legs as a pillow, uttered such nonsense, and then fell asleep peacefully, as if she had really settled Yi Shen down.
The light from outside shone through the window onto the tables and chairs not far away. The light on the ground swirled crookedly along the chair legs until it gradually dimmed, but Yi Shen didn't even glance at that spot.
He sat there motionless, quietly watching Wu Qi.
Her eyes, which were usually full of smiles, closed, revealing an undeniable weariness. It hadn't been long, yet faint dark circles had appeared under her eyes.
When Wu Qi was little, she loved to sleep. Sometimes she would sleep for so long that she would sleep from noon until midnight. Yi Shen was worried that something might happen to her, so he reached out to check her breathing and then asked the royal physician to check her pulse.
But she doesn't have any illness.
Wu Qi rarely gets sick; the few times she did get sick were from catching a cold, and her parents took good care of her.
She never had any bruises under her eyes...
Yi Shen sighed softly, whether out of pride or heartache, it was hard to tell.
He pulled the blanket over her and wrapped her up tightly.
With shackles on her body and the flower seal in her hand, Wu Qi's path is not easy. The further she goes, the more tiring it becomes. She will shed tears for her unwillingness and weep for death.
Similarly, she will grow, become stronger, and go down in history.
Wu Qi, whose name would be etched in history, had the best sleep he had in recent days. It would be an exaggeration to say that he felt refreshed. When he opened his eyes, he found the room completely dark, with not even a single glass lamp lit.
Resting her head on Yi Shen's lap, she blinked, and after recalling the nonsense she had uttered before falling asleep, her eyes crinkled into a quiet smile.
I'm so sleepy I'm completely confused.
With his head resting on Yi Shen's lap, he let him get a good night's sleep. The bed is only so big; even a celestial being couldn't fit it...
Wu Qi smiled, then suddenly hugged Yi Shen's waist tightly, tilting his head back and letting out a soft "Ah!"
"Were you scared by me?!" she asked.
Yi Shen touched her face, showing no sign of being frightened, but said, "You scared me. Are you hungry? Let's go eat first."
Wu Qi had just woken up, her body warm and cozy, like the warm sun at the turn of spring and summer. She clung to Yi Shen's waist, refusing to let go, and said, "You're awake now, time to eat, you little pig!"
Yi Shen said, "Then let's hug for a while longer."
"Let's hug for a while, let's hug a little longer, Young Master Yi, let's hug for a little while longer."
The two embraced silently for a while, ignoring even the moonlight. Before facing the unknown, let's hug for a bit.
Wu Qi took a deep breath, let go, sat up, clenched his fist, and encouraged the two of them, saying, "Alright! Let's go eat, and after we eat, we'll go find Sun Fang and ask him where Zhao Lang's secret room is!"
Pianpian once said that Sun Fang knew where Zhao Lang's secret room was, and there must be something shameful in Zhao Lang's secret room!
If Zhao Lang truly dared to collude with high-ranking officials in the court, he would definitely keep evidence in case of emergency, or find a good opportunity to clear himself of any wrongdoing and turn the tables on that official.
Wu Qi guessed that the items in the secret room were related to that high-ranking official in the court.
Yi Shen hummed in agreement, leaned over and pulled Wu Qi into his arms, one hand around her waist and the other stroking her hair, saying, "I'll hold you for a while."
What's the meaning?
I hugged you, but you haven't hugged me yet!?
Yi Shen's sudden hug almost made Wu Qi lose his composure, but he eventually understood. He didn't want to hug her; he felt sorry for her because she hadn't had a good night's sleep in so long.
She wrapped her arms around Yi Shen's waist, whether to comfort him or tease him, and said, "How old is Young Master Yi this year? Why do you need a hug before dinner?"
"At eighteen, one can get married."
Wu Qi is seventeen this year and will be eighteen in the future. Eighteen is indeed an age when one can get married, or at least get engaged.
Yi Shen hugged Wu Qi tightly and asked, "Will you marry me?"
He spoke so casually, as if asking her if she wanted to eat. In all the world, he was probably the only one who would ask for a wife in this way. Yet, the tone of his voice suggested that everything was prepared, and he was just waiting for Wu Qi to say "marry me."
"Who will marry or not?" Wu Qi asked with a smile.
"you."
"Whom shall I marry?" Wu Qi asked with a smile.
"Marry me."
Yi Shen asked, "Wu Qi, will you marry me?"
Will you marry me?
Wu Qi repeated herself and hugged Yi Shen tightly. She wanted to kiss Yi Shen, but at this moment, she could only kiss his shoulder, so she gently kissed his shoulder.
A very light kiss through the clothes.
Wu Qi said, "I'll get married later."
Yi Shen said, "Okay, I'll get married later."
Without the need for parental consent or a matchmaker, the two pledged their lives to each other in this inn. Sometimes, Yi Shen felt that heaven had been too kind to him, allowing him to meet Wu Qi so early. Childhood sweethearts are a rare fate in itself, and mutual affection is even more difficult to attain.
But they were childhood sweethearts and deeply in love; even the God of Love in heaven would applaud this perfect match.
The two hugged for a while longer, as if they wanted to hug each other until the withered tree sprouted new leaves. Wu Qi nudged Yi Shen's arm and said frankly, "Yi Shen, I'm a little hungry."
"Then let's go eat."
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm starving!"
Wu Qi wasn't starving to the point of fainting, but she was truly hungry.
She escaped from the back mountain alone, took a nap, and was about to go scare Sun Fang. Just thinking about it made her feel like she could eat a whole table of food, preferably with beef and mutton.
Wu Qi had eaten at this inn several times and knew that the portions were generous; if you ordered a whole table of food, it would probably take five or six people to finish it.
In the end, Wu Qi made some choices and only ordered a few dishes.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two took advantage of the late hour to go to the back gate of the Sun residence. They exchanged a glance, jumped onto the roof, and followed the maids and servants to Sun Fang's courtyard.
Sun Fang seemed to dislike being served by maids and servants, and the maids and servants left the courtyard one after another, which made things easier for Wu Qi and Yi Shen. When the last servant left the courtyard, he closed the door, and Wu Qi and Yi Shen landed without disturbing anyone else.
Wu Qi stepped forward and knocked on Sun Fang's door.
"Didn't I tell you to get lost!"
Upon hearing Sun Fang's words, Wu Qi tilted his head, then kicked open the door and pulled Yi Shen inside with a smile.
"Young Master Sun, do you still remember me?" she asked.
Sun Fang was startled when he saw her. He took a few steps back and asked warily, "What...what are you going to do!?"
Didn't they say she was dead?
How is he still alive?
What does he want from me tonight?!
"Nothing much." Wu Qi sat leisurely on the stool, poured himself a cup of tea, and poured a cup of tea for Yi Shen as well. He said sincerely, "I just feel uneasy and want to be honest with Young Master Sun about something."
After saying that, she remembered that the room belonged to Sun Fang, and poured him another cup of tea.
Sun Fang stood still, his eyes fixed on Wu Qi. He didn't seem like the owner of this house, but rather someone who was ready to flee at any moment.
“Didn’t I pour some gilded halberds into the Sun residence before, and add something to them…” Wu Qi looked at Sun Fang and placed a celadon teacup containing half a cup of tea on the table. “Actually, I didn’t add anything, just clay.”
"What?" Sun Fang asked incredulously, "You added soil?"
Wu Qi nodded while sipping his tea, saying, "That's right, I just grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and mixed it into the flamingo. There was no explosion. I was just kidding you. Who knew that Young Master Sun... was so naive."
They actually believed it.
Sun Fang closed his eyes briefly and asked again, "Is it really soil?"
"yes."
Wu Qi wasn't lying; she really did grab a handful of dirt and mix it into the jewel, then broke off a twig and stirred it. Who knew that this young master Sun would actually believe her that she had added something that would make the jewel explode?
The flaming dart is fuel, and it can indeed explode.
But how could she dare let the people of Pingwu City know this news, especially Sun Fang, who was colluding with Zhao Lang? If they really developed the Liuge explosive, their wolfish ambitions would be exposed, and chaos would be inevitable.
Who knows, this country might even change hands.
Wu Qi feigned surprise and said, "Young Master Sun, you don't actually believe it, do you? You wouldn't have even sent someone to specifically study those glittering halberds, would you?"
Sun Fang remained silent, simply because Wu Qi was right.
Bei Kun's power was immense, that much was certain, but he had never known what the cannons that repelled the enemy in the Battle of Sihai were made of. Rumors circulated that they were made of gunpowder, but the soldiers from that time said, "It doesn't seem like gunpowder; it's much more powerful than gunpowder."
He had been thinking about this ever since he heard Wu Qi say that Liu Ge could explode.
Could the cannon in Bei Kun be a halberd...?
Ke Liuge... there are plenty of them on Pingwu Mountain!
If a few shots can repel the enemy, then it is not wishful thinking to change the country's ownership with a few shots.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly returned home and sent people to collect the halberd that Wu Qi had left at the Sun residence. He also hired someone at a high price to investigate what was inside the halberd...
To his utter surprise, Wu Qi was lying to him.
The clod of earth was just a handful of soil that she had casually grabbed.
Sun Fang suddenly felt his mouth dry and as if he had lost something. He picked up a cup of tea from the table and drank it all in one gulp. He said bitterly, "No wonder they don't know anything. No matter how much money they spend, those people are still at a loss."
"You're at a loss, that's for sure. I was just kidding you." Wu Qi pointed to the teacup in his hand and smiled innocently. "But, Young Master Sun, didn't you notice anything wrong with that tea just now?"
Sun's internal alarm bells went off as he heard Wu Qi say, "I just slipped poison into this cup of tea when you weren't looking."
