Chapter 1 Sir, do you know Xue Yu? It’s almost dawn. Although...
It's almost dawn.
Although it is a government post, it is located in the wilderness.
The dark night was filled with thick fog. Looking up, one could only see a bit of the night sky through the dense branches.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the horse kicked the mud in the stable and suddenly snorted.
The hot air sprayed on Yun Yang's head, carrying with it sticky air mixed with dust. The smell was not pleasant, but it could dispel the fear in the heart of the young woman who was walking alone in the dark night.
Her head felt a little itchy, and sweat slid down Yun Yang's messy hair and onto her cheeks. She didn't wipe it off, but just huddled down in the hay piled in the stable. Her heart was beating fast, and her eardrums were swollen and painful.
Night is the time when snakes and rats are rampant. The stable is adjacent to the kitchen. A huge, shiny black rat came out from the corner of the wall, squeaking. It was looking around when it was startled by a slight vibration in the ground and fled in all directions.
"That's it! This is the only posthouse in this area. Search it! We must find him!"
The galloping horses were stopped, and the leader jumped off the horse while giving orders, his movements quick and with a fierce look in his eyes.
The wooden door of the inn was slammed loudly, and the originally dark window papers of the small two-story building began to light up one after another. The flickering candlelight was reflected on the window paper, breaking the eerie night.
Yun Yang was no longer so scared. He stuck his head out and stared at the room where he originally lived without blinking.
As the group of people poured into the inn like a tide, the pile of food and hay in the stable moved almost imperceptibly, and a slender black shadow flashed out.
Yun Yang couldn't understand why her parents would find such a powerful soldier to capture her.
If she had not been alert and come out of the inn and hide in this stable in advance, wouldn't she have been captured and taken back to Youzhou?
Yun Yang couldn't understand why her parents wouldn't let her go to the Xue family to find her sister?
It has been three months since her elder sister married and went to the Xue family in Shangjing. She and her elder sister have been close since childhood. The two sisters often chat until late at night and have endless things to say. Her elder sister also promised her that she would write to her often even after she got married. After not contacting her for such a long time, Yunyang had a strong premonition that something must have happened to her elder sister.
Is it because the Xue family is a wealthy family and my sister married into a wealthy family that we have to be so cautious?
The Yun family had a lot of trouble getting this marriage.
The Xue family in Shangjing, brother-in-law Xue Yu, these words have always shrouded Yunyang's life.
Yun Yang hated Xue Yu very much. The tone of his correspondence with her sister was always distant and cold, showing that he was reluctant and trapped. Even when the wedding date was approaching, he did not take the initiative to cancel the engagement, and her sister just got married like that.
Yun Yang always remembered her sister's staggering steps when she got into the bridal sedan, and the tears dripping from under the red veil.
Xue Yu married Yun Yao's precious sister with just a few letters and some trinkets brought by messengers! Why?
If it weren't for Xue Yu, she wouldn't have run away from home and traveled thousands of miles to the capital, hiding in the stable in the middle of the night.
"Watch the door! Guard it well, and the small door to the backyard too!"
A shout from the second-floor railing brought Yun Yang back to her senses. She hurriedly bent down and looked towards the gate, only to see dark shadows guarding the gate.
The Yun family was a small family, yet her parents had to report her to the police in order to find her? Otherwise, how could these people be so well-trained and know how to guard the door to prevent her from escaping...
Even so, there was no trace of regret in Yun Yang's bright and clear eyes. Her whole body was tense, her hands tightly grasping the bag in front of her chest, and she carefully retreated towards the stable, hiding in the shadows again.
Soon, these people left, moving with the same discipline as when they came.
Yun Yang stood up from the stable. Her originally shiny black hair was now a little disheveled, with ears of straw stuck in it. She brushed off the dust on her body and swaggered back to the inn.
The waiter was just about to turn off the lights when he saw Yun Yang walk in. He rubbed his eyes and thought to himself, this young woman looks familiar. Isn't she the one who stayed in the hotel alone during the day?
It was hard not to be impressed by her. It was rare to see a woman traveling alone, even rarer to see one so young, and even rarer still to see one carrying a spear.
It was as if she wanted people to know that she was not easy to mess with and that she had martial arts skills.
But at this moment, she didn't bring the weapon that she always carried with her.
Yun Yang saw the waiter's confusion. How did she get in from outside? And why did she come in from outside after the group came looking for her?
Yun Yang said with a cold expression, "I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk. I'll check out later tomorrow!"
After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back.
When she pushed open the door of the living room, except for the window being open, everything else remained as it was. Even the musket that she had not had time to take away was still standing behind the door.
Yun Yang felt relieved. He took out some dry food from his bag, chewed it twice, and drank a few sips of cold tea. He thought that if he walked for another day tomorrow, he would reach Shangjing in the evening. It was said that the Xue family was a wealthy family in Shangjing, so it would be easy to find them.
Will I be able to see my sister at this time tomorrow night?
Thinking of this, Yun Yang happily kicked off his shoes and jumped onto the bed.
As she moved, a muffled cry of pain came from the bed.
"Ah, so soft!" At the same time, her comfortable sigh suddenly changed tone, "What! What is that?!"
Yun Yang propped up the "bed board" in fear, but it moved and made a sound, "It's entangled, it's entangled, girl, don't move."
Yun Yang struggled to light the candle. As the candle lit up, she could see clearly that the bead curtain hanging over the bed had tangled her hair with that man's hair.
She seemed to be still not used to the sudden lighting of the candle. She squinted her eyes and looked up, and what came into her sight was a cold, pale and handsome face with a straight nose, a neat and smooth jawline, and extremely beautiful eyebrows and eyes. However, those clear eyes were staring blankly past her and straight ahead.
"Who are you?! Did I walk into the wrong room?" Yun Yang's face was tense. He glanced at the man on the bed, then looked back at his flaming spear. "I'm not wrong! This is Room A-2, right?"
"...I took the wrong path. I'm sorry for offending and disturbing the girl." The man whispered.
He reached out to touch the bedpost and tried to get down, but he hurt their tangled hair and Yun Yang gasped in pain.
"...I'm sorry." The man's voice was cold, and even with his apology, there was a kind of polite distance that kept people at a distance. "I am blind and cannot explain this thing. Please, young lady..."
Yun Yang responded, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, almost poking his eyes.
Seeing that this person had no reaction, Yun Yang felt relieved. It must be the group of people who came to search just now. This person was woken up and went to the toilet. He was blind and mistook the room number, so he accidentally walked into her room.
As she untied her long hair that was tangled in the bead curtain, she glanced at him secretly.
This man looked to be in his early twenties. Although he was blind, he had an elegant and refined temperament. He had a scholarly air, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and his appearance made people feel unguarded.
"Okay, that's almost done." Yun Yang looked at him with some pity. It was a pity that such a gentle and handsome man was blind. Thinking of this, her tone softened a little. "Some of the hair is tied up in knots. I can only pull it out. Please bear with the pain, because I feel pain too."
After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, she ruthlessly pulled off the tangled strands of hair.
At this point, the two can separate.
The blind man just frowned, nodded slightly, and groped his way out of bed.
The window was not closed, and the clear and cold moonlight shone in obliquely. The young man seemed unintentional and brushed Yunyang's cheek with his sleeves.
The bitter scent of ink filled my sleeves and spread across my face.
The fragrance of ink blended with the elegant person in front of him. The upright character that permeated his bones was unforgettable at first sight. Yun Yang's heart suddenly became melancholy.
Outside the window, the night was hazy and a drizzle began to fall without my knowledge. The golden edge of the distant sky was obscured by gloomy clouds, giving the impression that the dark clouds were about to destroy the city.
The weather in July is unpredictable, especially in these desolate mountains. How could a blind man like him travel alone? Would he get wet in the rain?
Yun Yang stood up. Perhaps it was because he had been squatting in the stable for too long, or because he was now pressed down on the bed, but his calf muscles were twisted and the cramps were getting tighter and tighter.
The blind man heard her gasp, stopped, and asked gently, "What's wrong, girl?"
"I have a cramp." Yun Yang said.
"I have some medicine in my bag that is very effective in treating leg injuries. I'll go get it for you, young lady," said the blind man.
Yun Yang didn't answer, but just hugged his cramped leg and cried out sadly.
It was strange that she didn't feel scared in the middle of the night, sharing a room with a strange man.
Perhaps it was because this man's eyes and eyebrows were filled with a gentle, elegant and upright spirit. Although his eyes were dull, they revealed a clear and bright brightness, which was very similar to the teacher in the mansion. Therefore, Yun Yang did not think that he was a bad person.
Yun Yang sighed inwardly. As expected, she was still a vulgar person who only cared about appearances.
Ultimately, it all comes down to the fact that this blind man is good-looking.
After a while, the blind man came back, still groping his way along the wall. Even so, his back was straight, and his every move was as thin and graceful as a pine or bamboo.
Yunyang's door was not closed. He walked in slowly, spread out his palms, and said in a deep voice: "This medicine is for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Feel free to use it, young lady."
The hand was white and slender, with obvious bruises on the knuckles.
Yun Yang's eyes moved slightly. This person... is blind, so he is bound to get hurt often, so he always keeps blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine on hand, right?
And the injury seemed to be new.
"Here, does it hurt?" Yun Yang gestured, then suddenly realized he couldn't see, so he said, "Did you bump into something just now?"
The blind man said calmly, "It's alright. I've bothered you just now, so this is my apology."
Yun Yang looked up at him. His eyes were dull and he really couldn't see. She stopped being on guard, rolled up her socks, poured some medicine powder from the porcelain bottle, and smeared it on her calves.
The exposed calves were thin and straight, and there were several raised red spots on the skin that was originally as white as milk. There were many mosquitoes in July, and it must have been caused by mosquito bites in the stable just now.
The medicine becomes cool and watery as soon as it touches the skin. It feels so comfortable when applied, and even the pain in the cramped calves is gone.
Yun Yang was a cautious person. As his legs relaxed, he became more talkative. "Thank you, this medicine is very effective. Um, are you from here?"
"No, I am from Beijing. I passed by here and would like to rest here for one night." The blind man said in a gentle tone.
"Oh... you're from Shangjing?" Yun Yang's eyes widened, and he stopped what he was doing. "From here to Shangjing, it's a quick walk. Can we get there in a day?"
The blind man frowned and spoke seriously, "If we ride a horse, we can get there in a day. If we walk, it will take three days and three nights..."
"Three days and three nights!?" Yun Yang interrupted, his tone suddenly becoming more urgent. "Why, why is it so far?"
She asked the waiter during the day, but the waiter probably thought she came on horseback, so he told her that she could get there in a day!
The blind man looked a little confused. "It is indeed this long. Miss, are you going to the capital on urgent business?"
That fair and elegant face showed just the right amount of concern, and there was no sign that these words had been planned long ago.
Yun Yang sighed, her only thought was wiped out. The silver and dry food she brought with her were almost used up. She had been living in Youzhou for fifteen years and had never traveled far. Before leaving, she looked at the distance between Shangjing and Youzhou on the map, but she didn't expect that the distance shown on the map was so short, but it was actually so far away!
When I ran away, I was in such a hurry that I was afraid of being discovered by my father. Not only did I not bring enough money, I didn't even have a horse to ride. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation.
She reached into her bag and felt around, only finding small change. She felt more and more desperate. The money she brought was not enough to buy a horse, let alone pay for the return trip.
She touched the top of her head again. Her black hair was tied into a simple bun. Because she had never liked gold and silver jewelry, there was only a small silver hairpin on her bun, which was not worth much.
Both wrists were thin and white, but there was nothing on them.
"Miss, are you in any trouble?" the blind man asked again. "If you are in a hurry to go to the capital, I have a horse and can go with you."
"Really?" Yun Yang was stunned when he heard it, his eyes lit up again, and his expression froze as if he had thought of something. "You, you are blind, and you can still ride a horse?"
The blind man smiled faintly and said, "I wasn't born blind. I accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms on the road and suddenly became blind."
Yun Yang frowned, stepped back slightly, and his expression became serious. "I took into consideration that you are blind, so I didn't mind you walking into the wrong room in the middle of the night. You and I are different in gender, and we just met by chance. It's not appropriate for us to ride on the same horse. Please respect yourself."
"Ahem." The blind man coughed awkwardly a few times, realizing he hadn't explained clearly. He continued, "Don't blame me, young lady. I didn't explain myself clearly. I suddenly became blind, and I'm going back to my home in Shangjing. If you don't mind, I can buy another horse. I only need you to be my eyes and lead the way."
Even though she was young and had no experience in life, she knew that nothing good came for free. But after hearing the blind man's words, the girl realized that this man was not a frivolous person. He had suddenly become blind and was restricted in his movements, so he wanted to join her and go to the capital together.
She and he each have their own goals, and this is a mutually beneficial thing.
Thinking of this, Yun Yang's face flushed slightly. "Thank you for your help, sir. But... I've almost spent all my money on this journey. Could you please tell me your name? I'll return the money I used to buy the horse when I find my sister in the capital."
The blind man nodded. "It's common to help each other when traveling outside. Money is a small matter, so don't worry about it, young lady. I am Xue from Shangjing..."
"Xue?!" The girl suddenly raised her voice and stood up. "Sir, do you know the Xue family in Shangjing?"
"..." The blind man paused, a cold light flashing in his hollow eyes as he stared at the girl, "Shangjing Xue family?"
"Yes, Master, have you heard of Xue Yu, the head of the Xue family?" Yun Yang continued to ask.

[Natural fishing beauty*younger man forced service type loyal dog]
In her previous life, Fang Fu had never taken Xiao Tan, the son of the concubine brought back by her father, seriously, even though he later passed the imperial examinations and became an important official.
She married a well-matched man, treated him with respect, and had a loving mother-in-law. Her only regret was that she had no children.
Miaoyuan Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, and it is very effective for those who pray for children. Fang Fu lifted her skirt lightly and knelt sincerely on the cushion. She looked up in a trance, and for some reason, she always felt that there was a gloomy and sticky gaze rubbing every inch of her body. Even the compassion of the gods and Buddhas in the sky seemed to have changed.
Behind the statue, the young man's dark gaze was fixed on Fang Fu through a very narrow hole.
Sandalwood incense lingered under the high caisson ceiling, and her sincere face was radiant with a soft glow. After hearing what she was muttering, he pursed his lips tightly, and a strong possessive desire instantly overwhelmed him.
The secret guard beside him asked, "Sir, can Miss Fu get what she wants?"
Xiao Tan's eyes grew darker, "Yes."
The secret guard continued to ask, "Then stop giving Miss Fu's husband the contraceptive medicine?"
After a moment, Xiao Tan said in a calm and cold tone: "Kill him."
*
After Fang Fu's unjust death, her spirit wandered the world. She saw her usually taciturn brother rushing out of her husband's house with a knife in hand, standing tall and graceful on the blood-stained jade steps. He looked up at the falling snow and whispered, "I've avenged you."
After being reborn, she returned to the time before she got married, when the young Xiao Tan was still in the carriage being taken back to the Fang Mansion by his father.
As his elder sister, she sincerely protected him, preventing him from being looked down upon, teaching him how to integrate into the aristocratic families, and cultivating him into an unparalleled gentleman praised by the nobles.
Fang Fu felt that she couldn't be the annoying elder sister-in-law, so before arranging a marriage for her younger brother, she had to get married first.
Unexpectedly, the young man who was already taller than her blocked her way, holding in his hand the letter she had written to the third place winner.
The young man approached her step by step, his cold outline half bright and half dark, and a strong sense of aggression emanated from him. "Fu'er promised not to abandon me."
