"Why should we choose?" Sheng Qiyue said, "We can each live our own lives."
Seeing Lu Yanzhou's unhappy expression, Sheng Qiyue quickly changed her tone: "Actually, I think this is pretty good now."
Lu Yanzhou finally smiled: "Do you really think so?"
"Really." Sheng Qiyue blinked her bright eyes and tried to make herself look sincere: "Besides the environment being a little desolate here, there are more poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and it's a little far to go to buy things..."
"Okay." Lu Yanzhou pursed his lips: "I will make sure you live well."
"Well, actually, if you want to change your identity, you can just get a human skin mask, like..."
"Just like your previous man." Lu Yanzhou sneered: "I don't want to live my whole life with someone else's face."
"But your identity is fake. As long as you're in Da Mo, even if you become an official, won't you still be using someone else's identity, glorifying someone else's clan and ancestors? Even if you have children, they'll still have someone else's surname."
Sheng Qiyue understood the pain in her heart. Lu Yanzhou's face turned pale: "Pack your things, we are going to the neighboring country."
Sheng Qiyue didn't want to go, and said hesitantly: "I still want to stay in Da Mo."
"Don't even think about it." Lu Yanzhou seemed to have remembered something, smiled roguely, and put his hand on Sheng Qiyue's shoulder: "I heard that women can have sex after three months of pregnancy. Why don't we give it a try?"
Sheng Qiyue's hands trembled, "No, no!"
Lu Yanzhou narrowed his eyes: "Then will you come with me?"
"I……"
"You don't have to be shy. Where haven't I seen you? Where haven't I touched you? Why don't we just tonight..."
"Stop!" Sheng Qiyue said, "I'll go to the neighboring country with you."
Lu Yanzhou's expression was visibly disappointed: "You will be willing one day."
Sheng Qiyue pretended not to hear anything.
Crossing the border was not easy. Lu Yanzhou had no documents, so he could only resort to the old method of sneaking across. It was a dark and windy night. He held Sheng Qiyue in his arms, dodged the border patrol, and finally stepped into the border of Xiling Kingdom as he wished.
"Where are we going now?" Sheng Qiyue asked.
"First, find a place to live."
The two found a house in the border town to live in, and treated each other as husband and wife. Lu Yanzhou bought her a few maids to serve her, and he himself went out early and came back late.
By the time Sheng Qiyue's child was born, Lu Yanzhou was already a thousand-householder. Among the thousand-households around him, most of whom were hereditary, he was unique.
Sheng Qiyue did not become uglier after giving birth, but she gained a touch of mature charm.
She was a little weak after giving birth, but she recovered after the confinement period. Her face was rosy, her waist was slender, and there was still light in her eyes. She looked like a girl who had just gotten married.
Both children needed breast milk, but Sheng Qiyue's milk was not enough. In order not to favor one over the other, she simply stopped breastfeeding and hired several wet nurses.
As for her breast engorgement sometimes, ahem! Lu Yanzhou would help her.
At night, Lu Yanzhou gently wiped away her tears and hugged her.
"There's going to be a war on the border. Stay home with your children and don't go out."
Sheng Qiyue nodded imperceptibly.
Lu Yanzhou: "Don't even think about running away, or I will catch you back even if you run to the ends of the earth."
Sheng Qiyue: “…”
After a year of fighting, Lu Yanzhou was promoted to commander-in-chief because of his bravery, courage and strategy, and came into people's attention.
When they heard that he was married and had two sons, even the border generals became curious about his family.
But Lu Yanzhou never brought anyone to his home, so it was inconvenient to ask.
Another year passed, and Lu Yanzhou told Sheng Qiyue solemnly: "The Mo Dynasty has sent people to the border. We have a fierce battle to fight. You..."
"Who is coming?!" Sheng Qiyue asked impatiently.
Lu Yanzhou looked at her, "Who do you want to come?"
Sheng Qiyue froze: "No, I'm just curious."
Lu Yanzhou said: "It's okay to tell you, it's the Seventh Prince Jimo Yuan."
Sheng Qiyue's eyes lit up, and Lu Yanzhou warned her: "Don't even think about looking for him. If you want to live a peaceful life, you must not reveal the father of your child."
Sheng Qiyue looked at him warily, and Lu Yanzhou knew what she was thinking at a glance, "Don't worry, I wouldn't threaten him with a child."
Sheng Qiyue was skeptical, so Lu Yanzhou threw her to the ground and bit her on the lips.
"Don't forget, the father the child is talking about is me."
It has to be said that although Lu Yanzhou was busy with his promotion, he still cared a lot about his two children. He would take them out to play from time to time, buy them educational toys, and tell them historical stories. This was also the reason why Sheng Qiyue stayed with him.
Lu Yanzhou could smell the woman's delicate fragrance at the tip of his nose. He kissed her alluring lips, pecked her nose lightly, and then kissed her misty peach blossom eyes.
After almost three years, Sheng Qiyue had become accustomed to his actions. She did not resist and instead took the initiative to hug her neck.
A faint light flashed in Lu Yanzhou's eyes. Was she sure that he would not go to the last step?
Sheng Qiyue indeed thought so.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly woke up and tried to push the man above her.
……………………………
At the border between Da Mo and Xi Rong, Jimo Yuan, dressed in a purple robe, stood on a hill, gazing at the battlefield in the distance. Beside him was Shen Shaoyan, still dressed in white, but with a hint of melancholy and coldness compared to three years ago.
General Xi, the border garrison commander, reported the intelligence he had received: "...the Western Rong had provoked us from time to time before, but not as frequently as in the past two years. They somehow managed to find a man skilled in military deployment, who led the Western Rong to capture three of our cities. Lieutenant General Chi was killed by him."
Shen Shaoyan: "Do you know the other party's identity and martial arts style?"
General Xi: "I've already made inquiries. His name is Lu Yanzhou. He has a wife and two children."
"It's actually him." Jimo Yuan and Shen Shaoyan looked at each other.
General Xi: "Does His Majesty the Seventh Prince know him?"
Jimo Yuan: "He's just a fugitive. I didn't expect him to defect to the Western Rong."
General Xi was surprised. Shen Shaoyan said, "He was born into a martial arts family and has been familiar with military tactics since childhood. It's normal that you can't defeat him. I will go and meet him."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young General." General Xi said, "As long as we get rid of Lu Yanzhou, the others are just reckless men and nothing to be feared."
Shen Shaoyan nodded.
After General Xi left, Shen Shaoyan still stood on the high ground and asked Jimo Yuan in a cold voice: "Do you have any news about July?"
He waited in Liangzhou for three years, searching all the villages and towns, but no one was her.
Jimo Yuan said sadly, "No, I sent people to every city to search for her. I suspect she has been hidden, or she may not be in Da Mo at all."
Suddenly, their hearts trembled, and they said in unison: "It's Lu Yanzhou!"
