Chapter 81



Li Yu, accompanied by Wang Xi and several guards, walked on the path of Luofeng Town. The people in the town must be very tired after the battle with the bandits, but the people he saw along the way were all very energetic and talked excitedly with each other.

"Sir, this is the victory of our prince, which gives them great confidence!"

Wang Xi praised his master.

This was the first battle between King Jing and the bandits, and it was also the first battle that Luofeng Town had won against the bandits in all these years. The people in the town were greatly encouraged and felt that the bandits were not invincible as imagined, and the emperor far away in the sky did not give up this piece of land.

In particular, the dumb prince from the imperial city, King Jing, personally led his men to fight against the bandits. Several people witnessed King Jing's tactics and described them vividly. When the bandits were lured into the town, the guards following the prince always appeared in the unexpected places of the bandits without anyone noticing and gave them a heavy blow. King Jing, like a god of war, personally killed three bandits on his horse. King Jing's reputation for being a good fighter spread.

It turned out that before King Jing arrived in the western frontier, the people had heard that the prince who was coming to the imperial city was a cruel and dumb man, so the people had a very bad impression of King Jing. Later, King Jing hanged Wu Xiangshen, who was actually a bandit, in public. Although the people felt relieved, they were more afraid of being implicated, so they just hoped that the prince would leave early. However, they did not expect that the prince would be so low-key and even defeated the bandits who had troubled them for many years. The people changed their attitude towards King Jing, and now felt that the prince was their patron saint. As long as King Jing was there, Luofeng Town would have no worries!

The one who changed the most in attitude was the mayor. Before the fight against the bandits, the mayor was full of worries. After the fight, he wanted to promote the merits of His Royal Highness King Jing to the people in the town every day. He felt that King Jing was much better than those useless officials in the past.

Li Yu was happier to hear the people praising King Jing than praising himself. Although he gave King Jing some ideas and mentioned tunnels and traps, he did not know how to use troops. After a few simple introductions, King Jing actually understood.

Their luck was also good. There happened to be several very short tunnels in Luofeng Town. They were dug secretly by the people because they were afraid of being killed by bandits. King Jing made use of these existing tunnels and ordered the guards to dig many new ones overnight. He also buried many traps in the places where the bandits had to pass, which caused the bandits a lot of suffering and greatly damaged their vitality.

In addition, King Jing personally went to the battlefield to boost morale and led the guards to fight flexibly. King Jing played an indispensable role in winning this battle. Li Yu was also fortunate to see another form of mine warfare and tunnel warfare in this ancient time.

When going to fight the bandits, King Jing told Li Yu and asked Li Yu to hide with the people. He would send people to protect his safety, but Li Yu refused. He wanted to choose a hidden place to watch the battle. King Jing satisfied him. Li Yu followed King Jing closely throughout the battle. He watched the young man who had lost his ability to speak fight bravely and unstoppably. The bloody scene no longer frightened him.

He would always worry about losing him, but he knew that King Jing had to personally attend this battle to establish his authority. This was the first step for King Jing to officially embark on the road to the throne. Although there was no blood hatred and deep hatred in the original book, some people were born with a kind of ability.

- The ability to become an invincible person in power.

"Sir, please stay. Are you from His Royal Highness King Jing?"

An old woman led a child and tried to stop Li Yu.

In the battle just now, many bandits were arrested. The mayor checked the people in the town one by one, and there was no suspicion. Li Yu had guards and Wang Xi by his side, and he trusted these people, so he stopped.

"Grandma, I am the follower of His Royal Highness Prince Jing. What can I do for you?" Li Yu asked gently.

The old woman confirmed that she had found the right person, tremblingly pulled out a wreath from her sleeve, and handed it to him, saying: "Please help me give this to His Royal Highness Prince Jing. This is a wreath I made by myself. Thank him for saving me and my grandson."

Li Yu was a little confused for a moment: "What???"

The old woman told him that in this battle with the bandits, many people were transferred to a safe place. The old woman's grandson was naughty and disappeared. In order to find his grandson, the old woman missed the opportunity to transfer. She didn't know where to go, so she could only wail on the side of the road and was bumped into by Prince Jing.

"... He ordered the guards to help me find the child, and sent us to a safe place, so we were safe."

The old woman knew that if it were someone else, they might not care that an old woman like her had a child, so she was very grateful and wanted to say thank you to King Jing.

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu really didn't expect that the disabled tyrant would actually do such a good thing. Could it be that because of this little butterfly of his, the tyrant actually had the tendency to become a benevolent king? Li Yu

smiled and said, "Don't be polite, grandma, I will definitely help to convey it."

The old woman was of course very grateful. Li Yu asked Wang Xi to give her and her grandson a red envelope, proudly puffed out his chest, and his heart was sweeter than drinking honey water.

After walking around and seeing enough, Li Yu returned to the mansion with the wreath given by the old woman.

King Jing was taking off his armor. Li Yu's eyes lit up and he rushed over and said, "Your Highness, wait a moment, let me touch it!"

King Jing didn't know what he was thinking of. His face turned slightly red and he dropped his hand.

Li Yu carefully touched the shiny silver armor on his body, knowing that he had wiped it hastily before, trying not to bring bloodstains to him.

Sometimes Li Yu even felt that he was a little pretentious. To like a person, doesn't it mean to accept everything about the other person, like his inability to speak, his ability to turn into a fish, and the bloodstains that had been stained on the armor, which are all part of them.

Avoiding is a kind of consideration, and accepting is not.

"Your Highness, I will try my best to adapt in the future. It's okay."

Li Yu said in a soft voice, while taking the initiative to help him take off his armor.

King Jing didn't understand what he was talking about at first. He came to his senses halfway through taking off his armor and hugged Li Yu and kissed him twice.

The armor was too uncomfortable and Li Yu felt a little pain, but he still hugged him tightly.

After removing the armor, Li Yu wanted to help change into a casual robe. King Jing often helped him dress, and Li Yu thought it was nothing to help King Jing once.

Who knew that when he moved, King Jing shook his head.

Li Yu: ???

I have helped Your Highness change clothes, what are you dissatisfied with!

His Highness King Jing was not dissatisfied, but took out a crimson robe with gold edges from the closet and handed it to Li Yu with a smile. King Jing

meant that it was good that Xiaoyu wanted to help him dress, but the clothes were not suitable.

Li Yu was puzzled as he changed King Jing's clothes. This was probably King Jing's most gorgeous dress, with a red background and gold patterns, and a jade belt inlaid with pearls. If he put it on and tied a red hairband, it would be like getting married.

Li Yu was secretly laughing when he saw King Jing really take out a red hairband and a jade comb and handed them to him.

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu understood what he meant a little bit, and said with a smile: "My hairband is ugly, but is it okay?"

King Jing nodded again.

Li Yu used all his skills to tie a hairband that was not too ugly.

Finally, she got her boyfriend ready, and Li Yu said happily: "I want to change too!"

Li Yu hid a new dress that King Jing had made for him recently in his space. His Royal Highness King Jing's principle is that no matter where he is, his wife must have enough clothes. Before leaving the imperial city, he made a lot of clothes for Li Yu in one go. With the ones he made before, he could change them every day without feeling heavy.

Li Yu especially liked the one he took out now.

King Jing rarely inlaid too many jewels on this dress, but wore a solemn scarlet silk gown with a pattern of fish playing with peonies embroidered on it. The peonies woven with gold thread were stacked layer by layer, from the hem to the waist, and a lively carp was wrapped around the waist, sniffing the peony.

The embroidery of this dress was outstanding, and each petal of the peony was gorgeous. The fish body was silver with gold, and the fish scales seemed to be shining.

Li Yu had a silver brocade gown before, which was very similar to his fish body. This one was even better, as if his fish body was perfectly copied, even the size was exactly the same, and Li Yu fell in love with it at first sight.

Because the King of Jing wore red, Li Yu wanted to wear one too, a couple outfit or something, which was also worn by Prince Ye at his wedding.

After Li Yu changed his clothes, the King of Jing tied his hair for him tacitly and tied a belt with a Pisces pattern around his waist.

After dressing up, the two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"What should I do next?" Li Yu stuttered accidentally.

The King of Jing smiled and put his hand into his sleeve. Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu screamed in his heart, here it comes, this man is going to perform magic again!

What is it this time, a note with corny love words or a little goldfish asking for his care?

- Neither.

The King of Jing took out a stone from his sleeve and placed it in Li Yu's palm.

Li Yu took a closer look. The stone was in the shape of a fish and looked familiar.

Isn’t it the fish-shaped stone that he took away and placed together with the jade statue of Prince Jing under the huge fish pond in Prince Jing’s mansion!

I remember that he had a trance during his illness, and the stone and the jade statue disappeared. I thought they were swept to some corner at the bottom of the pond, which was a pity. But later, Li Yu had a boyfriend and didn’t pay much attention to it. I didn’t expect that the fish-shaped stone was in Prince Jing’s place.

"How did Your Highness find it?"

Li Yu played with the stone in surprise. He had never played with the human figure before.

Prince Jing just wanted to give this stone as a gift. As for how to find it, Prince Jing didn’t want to talk about it, otherwise it would take a long time to explain.

Li Yu fiddled with the patterns on the stone, and suddenly raised his bright eyes and asked, "Is the jade statue also in Your Highness's hands?"

Jade statue?

King Jing soon realized what it was. He wanted to keep it secretly, but since Li Yu wanted it, he took it out and put it in Li Yu's palm.

Li Yu held the jade statue in one hand and the fish-shaped stone in the other. He put the two together and smiled.

King Jing watched Yu play with it for a while. After Li Yu put it away, he turned around and took out a wine jar from a sealed box.

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu could smell the aroma of green plum wine through the lid. He didn't know that King Jing brought this thing from the imperial city. He laughed out loud: "Your Highness, did you move it from the palace?"

King Jing shook his head and opened the wine jar with a silver knife.

This was a bottle of wine that had never been opened. The moment it was opened, the rich aroma spread out, making Li Yu's mouth water.

King Jing changed his usual practice of not letting him touch wine and took out two jade cups.

The two wine cups were also a bit peculiar. There was a fish carved on each cup body, one on the left and one on the right. When they were put together, they formed a perfect circle.

King Jing filled two cups with wine and handed one to Li Yu.

Just as Li Yu was about to bring the wine glass to his lips, he secretly glanced at King Jing.

King Jing also raised the wine glass, but did not move at all, with his arm stretched out straight.

Li Yu suddenly realized and put his arm over instead.

The two of them intertwined their arms and drank from the wedding cup.

"...This wine is so fragrant."

Li Yu felt that it was better than the first time he drank it.

King Jing smiled and decided to tell the fish later that this was the wedding wine that he had taken from old Lord Cheng En before leaving the imperial city.

Soon, the clothes were changed, the wine was drunk, and...

he almost forgot about the old woman's wreath!

Li Yu handed the wreath he brought back to King Jing and briefly told the story of the old woman.

"...Did your highness really do it?"

Although he knew it was unlikely to be false, Li Yu was still surprised. After all, apart from saving fish, King Jing had never done anything similar.

King Jing nodded slightly embarrassedly. It was true, but there was a little misunderstanding. King

Jing himself did not care how the people in the western frontier viewed him. The reason why he rescued the old woman was not because he had compassion in his heart. He was used to being alone since he was a child and rarely cared about others. Now his heart is still cold and hard. It was just because Xiaoyu cared about the people and didn't want them to be harmed, so he was just fulfilling Xiaoyu's wish.

King Jing was not in a position to explain, so he hung the wreath that Li Yu handed to him back on Li Yu's head with a smile, and it was Xiaoyu who accepted the thanks, which was worthy of the name.

Li Yu was in a playful mood with the wreath on his head, and he smiled as he picked a red flower from the wreath and stuck it on King Jing's chest.

Wearing red, drinking wine, and wearing flowers, he is definitely the groom!

Li Yu couldn't help but think of the main quest "Dry wood and raging fire", and couldn't control his dry mouth.

"Your Highness, are you tired?" Li Yu asked with a red face.

King Jing was afraid of missing this fish again, so he shook his head vigorously with the spirit of being able to kill ten times more bandits.

Li Yu: "Ah? Not tired... How about we talk for a while?"

King Jing, who felt he was getting further and further away from the topic: "..."

This was a rare opportunity, so King Jing took Yu's hand and pulled her closer. His

lips moved closer, and it was a lingering kiss filled with the aroma of wine.

Li Yu was immersed in the kiss and let out a low cry. King Jing actually lifted him up by the waist. He seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen and only struggled symbolically.

King Jing carried him to the couch covered with a bright red mattress, which was exactly what Li Yu had secretly made a while ago.

He glanced at the mattress, feeling shy and happy. King Jing tied up his hair with his own hands, and then patiently let it loose for him.

On this night that was destined to lose something, Li Yu felt that he should say something sweet as a conclusion.

He had imagined this a thousand and eight hundred times, and it would be best if it was very interesting and could make King Jing unable to stop and never forget it.

I remember that King Jing liked the story of sucking money and never forgot it. Li Yu was excited and imitated the tone of the fairy in the storybook to tease him: "Husband, we carp spirits also want to suck money--"
