Ouyang Beauty
"Master Nong Yue, where are the brothers of the Shi family army?" asked Chou Doufu.
Nong Yue knelt on one knee, lowered her head and said, "Nong Yue begs the City Lord to forgive me."
Stinky Tofu frowned in confusion.
"City Lord, we used the fake Half Moon to test them. What would happen if the Shi family army knew the truth?" Nong Yue asked.
"So you killed them?" asked Stinky Tofu.
Nong Yue lowered her head and said, "Please punish me, City Lord."
Mingri pleaded, "City Lord, Young Master Nong Yue is right. We used the fake half-moon to test the Shi family army's sincerity in surrendering. If they knew the truth later, they might become disloyal, and another conflict would be inevitable. No matter who wins or loses, it will not benefit Sifang City. Young Master Nong Yue is doing this for the sake of Sifang City's peace. I hope the City Lord will show leniency."
"City Lord, it's my fault as your elder sister for not teaching her well. If anyone needs to be punished, let Leng Yue be punished. Please show mercy, City Lord." Leng Yue said.
"Please show mercy, City Lord." Everyone knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Alas," Chou Doufu sighed, "I can't blame you for this. After all, you were also concerned about Sifang City. Punishment won't help now. Besides, you've made such great contributions, how could I bear to punish you? The Shi family army also sacrificed their lives for Sifang City, so give them a proper burial."
"Yes." Nong Yue said.
"Where will the ministers be settled?" asked Chou Doufu.
"In the Windless Valley." Nong Yue replied.
"Is that place safe?" asked Chou Doufu.
"Don't worry, City Lord. Windless Valley was once where lepers lived. No one dared to approach it, and no one would guess that they were hiding there." Nong Yue replied.
"That's good. Everyone has worked hard. Let's rest here today and set off tomorrow." said Chou Doufu.
Even though he was the murderer of his family, Changfeng still buried Bantianyue properly.
"I'm afraid Lingfeng will be angry if he sees it, so let's not erect a tombstone." Yan'er said.
Changfeng nodded and said, "Yan'er, you won't blame me, right?"
Yan'er smiled and shook her head.
"Good is good, and hatred is hatred. I really hate him, but I also respect him a little. Although he killed my Sima family, without him, there would be no Sima Changfeng today. Let all the good and hatred end here." Sima Changfeng murmured.
Gumutian watched all this from afar, stroked his beard and nodded.
Nong Yue, Ming Ri, Leng Yue, Gongsun Heng and others carried the bodies of the Shi family army brothers to bury them. Ming Ri casually examined one of the bodies, frowning.
"What's wrong?" Leng Yue asked.
A golden thread flew out from Mingri's sleeve and wrapped around Nong Yue's wrist. After taking her pulse, he immediately sealed off all of Nong Yue's blood vessels and began treating her. After a moment, Nong Yue spat out a mouthful of black blood, wiped his pale lips, and said, "Thank you."
"It's still the same poison." Mingri said.
Nong Yue nodded.
"Which poison? The one that enhances internal strength?" Leng Yue asked.
"That's right." Nong Yue replied, "There wasn't much antidote left, so I distributed it to the brothers in the Dark Clothes Team, and I drank the poisoned wine along with the Shi Jiajun army."
"Didn't you say that you should live well for the people around you?" Mingri asked.
"Nong Yue cannot sacrifice the brothers who have lived and died together day and night just to save his own life," Nong Yue said with a smile, changing the subject. "Besides, don't we still have you, a miracle doctor?"
"Even so, you should have told me. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid you would have..." Mingri said with a frown.
"Nong Yue was just about to say that it was Sai Hua Tuo who got there first," Nong Yue said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
Mingri shook his head, turned and walked away to bury the body.
Leng Yue stared at Nong Yue steadily, her eyes slightly red.
"Is my sister angry?" Nong Yue asked.
Leng Yue sighed and said, "How could I be angry with you? You can live without me tomorrow, but you can't live without your confidant. Don't do this again in the future."
Nong Yue looked at the cold moon and smiled without saying a word.
Leng Yue was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say to Nong Yue, so she stopped talking and ran to bury the body.
Nong Yue smiled knowingly.
Mingri and others finally settled Shi Jiajun's body. Although it was not yet time for dinner, Leng Yue's stomach was already rumbling.
"Isn't it time to eat? I'm so hungry." Leng Yue said.
"Brother, Sister Lengyue, Brother Lingfeng," Ling Xue came over with a smile, "You must be exhausted. Dinner is ready."
"Oh? So early?" Nong Yue said with a smile.
"Mom said you must have used up a lot of energy fighting Ban Tianyue, so she asked me to go back early to cook," Ling Xue said with a smile. "Sister Shangguan and the others have already left. You should leave too, or the food won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen Shangguan Yan and Sima Changfeng. It turns out they were slacking off." Leng Yue said with a smile.
Mingri suddenly poked Lengyue with his arm.
"Huh?" Leng Yue turned around and looked at Ming Ri in confusion. Ming Ri winked at Leng Yue, but this time, Leng Yue really didn't understand the meaning of that look. It wasn't until she glanced at Nong Yue that Leng Yue finally understood.
Nong Yue snorted coldly, turned around, and said lightly: "Let him be."
Leng Yue made an embarrassed expression. Ming Ri scratched her nose helplessly and said with a smile, "You..."
"I didn't mean it." Leng Yue muttered.
This time, everyone can finally eat in peace.
"Sister, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for three days, but now you can still eat calmly. I really admire you." Nong Yue said with a smile.
"What are you admiring? I also want to eat voraciously, but people who haven't eaten for a long time should not eat too much or too fast, otherwise their stomach will burst." Leng Yue said while eating.
"I guess you understand." Mingri said lightly.
"Go away... It's all because of you, otherwise I wouldn't have gone without food for three days. You're so mean today, you made all my favorite foods, but I can't eat them! Do you know how uncomfortable it is for a foodie to look at a table full of delicious food but not be able to eat it? I'm really suffocating." Leng Yue said in an exaggerated tone.
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"Tomorrow, you are not allowed to bully Xiaoyue'er anymore." The old man from the border said with a smile.
"Master is still good to me." Leng Yue said with a smile.
"Even if she is bullied, she must not cry or complain. Otherwise, if she comes to the master crying, the master will feel distressed when he hears her." The old man from the border continued.
"Ah?...Master..." Leng Yue pouted and acted like she was crying.
Mingri laughed out loud and said repeatedly, "Master, what you said is absolutely right. I will remember this."
Leng Yue raised her two fists in front of her eyes and pretended to cry: "Wuwuwuwuwu..."
"Alright, alright," Asuri coaxed.
Such a relaxing moment is hard to come by.
After dinner, Leng Yue said to Ming Ri: "Tomorrow, let's go for a walk."
"I have an appointment with Master Nong Yue to play chess." Mingri said.
"I won't let you go," Leng Yue shook Ming Ri's arm, then rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "My beautiful lady Ouyang, just give me a smile and I'll let you go."
"You're talking more nonsense than you think," Ming Ri said seriously. "I'm a man and don't like being described as beautiful. When you use the word beautiful to describe me, do you love me or my appearance?"
Leng Yue also restrained her smile and said seriously: "Mingri, you are very good-looking, you can't deny that? You are a handsome man, and you deserve it."
"Of course." Mingri said.
"If that's the case, why can others only love your talent and heart, but not your appearance? If you ask me whether I like you or your appearance, then shouldn't I also ask, whether you like me or are grateful for everything I have done for you?" Leng Yue asked.
"I am indeed grateful for everything you have done for me, but my feelings for you are also from the bottom of my heart." Mingri said.
"You once said, 'It's human nature to be attracted to young women if one is lustful'. Since you can like others because of their appearance, why can't others like you? The so-called love at first sight is nothing more than falling in love at first sight. But why can others only like your talent and heart? This is unfair." Leng Yue said with a pout.
"Interesting," Ming Ri looked at Leng Yue's serious expression and said with a smile, "Keep going."
Leng Yue continued, "Whether a person is talented or not, or whether they have a good heart or not, is never determined by appearance. However, mutual understanding between people starts from the outside and goes to the inside, not from the inside out. Good looks don't mean you don't have other advantages; loving your looks doesn't mean ignoring your other qualities. If you truly love someone, you must be attracted to both the outside and the inside. Your looks come from your parents, and being good-looking isn't your own fault. Since it's a gift from your parents, why don't you accept it with joy?"
"Look, I just said one thing to you, and you said so many things." Mingri ruffled Lengyue's hair with his hand and said with a smile, "Where do you get all these crooked theories from?"
"What a twisted theory! I have to explain it to you today," Leng Yue said seriously. "Aren't heart and talent nothing but external things? No matter how much you accumulate, you won't need them once you close your eyes. I don't think there's anything wrong with men liking beautiful women or women liking handsome men, but if you think you can make someone fall in love with someone wholeheartedly based on appearance alone, you're completely wrong."
Mingri narrowed his eyes and looked at Lengyue with a smile.
"At first, I was indeed attracted by your appearance, but at that time, I only liked and admired you. Now, several months have passed, and after going through so much, my understanding of you has long surpassed your appearance. My admiration for you has increased, but my love for your appearance has never diminished. What's wrong with that?"
"Hmm, yes, sir, you're absolutely right," Mingri said with a wicked grin. Then, with a snap, he tapped a point on Lengyue's back, sending a wave of unbearable pain and itching all over her body. ("Laughter points, itching points, and immobilization points don't exist in modern physiology and anatomy; they were invented to please readers. But death points do exist." -- from Baidu)
"Oh, it's so itchy, how dare you touch me..." Leng Yue said while scratching herself.
"It's not like you don't know how to untie the knot, just untie it yourself." Mingri said with a smile.
"I only know how to freeze..."
"So Bantianyue never taught you anything?" Mingri raised the corners of his mouth and said with a gloating look, "A real man must endure what ordinary people cannot endure. Master, you should understand this well, hahahaha..."
"Hey, you..." Leng Yue saw Nong Yue walking towards her and hurriedly said, "Hey - Nong Yue, Mingyu has pointed at my acupoints, please help me untie it!"
"Sai Huatuo, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't come. So you're here," Nong Yue turned around and looked at Leng Yue, who was scratching her head, and said with a smile, "Sister, you're in trouble, and Nong Yue will help you. But I want to play chess with Sai Huatuo now, so please be patient for a while. Nong Yue will come back to help you with your pain."
"Oh, my dear brother...can't it be okay if I don't interrupt you two from playing chess?" Leng Yue pleaded.
"Okay, but I'm afraid you'll regret it." Nong Yue said with a smile.
"Uncle, please experience it well." Mingri smiled and patted Lengyue's shoulder, then walked away proudly.
"Sister, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Don't take everything too seriously, and don't live too clearly. Haha..." After saying this, Nong Yue walked away smiling, fanning herself.
"Don't go, hey, you guys..." Before Leng Yue finished speaking, the two of them had already walked away talking and laughing.
"Aren't you on the same page with her?" Mingri asked.
"Yes, but now I want to play chess with you more."
Nong Yue walked a few steps, then turned back to see Ming Ri hesitating, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there are many people who can do it. Let's go, my beauty."
"Beauty?" Mingri muttered with a smile, "Here comes the beauty."
"Uncle, I will point out my acupoints tomorrow. Could you please help me to untie them?" Leng Yue begged.
Ouyang Feiying smiled and said, "Of course uncle is helping his son, haha..."
"Ah? Hey, Master, ancient senior..." Leng Yue seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, "Master, if you bully me again tomorrow, can you help me untie the Xue Dao?"
"Hahahaha!" The old man from the frontier laughed heartily. "What Mingrui said makes sense. This is a great opportunity to practice your endurance. Just treat it as a practice session, haha!"
Gu Mutian patted Leng Yue's shoulder sympathetically and said, "Practice well."
“…” Leng Yue groaned inwardly.
"Poor child, is it itchy?" asked Mrs. Yuzhu.
"The pain and itching are unbearable, aunt, can you help me relieve the pain? Or, can you also help your son..." Leng Yue no longer had any hope.
"I'd love to help you," Madam Yuzhu said, "but I don't know any martial arts, much less acupuncture. Lingxue, Renhe, come here."
Stinky Tofu and Ling Xue came over: "Mom." "Mother-in-law."
"Renhe, do you know how to untie the acupuncture tube? Yue'er looks so uncomfortable, help her untie it."
Stinky Tofu scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said sheepishly, "Miss Lengyue, I'm actually the same as you. I don't know the art of acupuncture. My adoptive father never taught me these things since I was a child. I'm so sorry."
"No, isn't it----" Leng Yue covered her face and cried, "Yan'er, help me----"
At this moment, the secret of the blood path behind Leng Yue was finally unlocked.
"Oh, Yan'er, you are still good to me," Leng Yue said as she turned around, "You are really my..."
Leng Yue stopped talking halfway because it was Xiao Yan who helped her relieve the pain, not Yan Er.
"It's you." Leng Yue said a little embarrassedly.
"Do you have time?" Shi Qiuyan asked, "I want to talk to you."
