Chapter 7
The stable was very high and Ye Tianhui fell on the grass.
She recalled the pair of eyes she had just seen, eyes that were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar.
At this moment, the changes of dynasties and the changes of time and space all disappeared.
There was only one thought in her mind: the saint was here and he saw her.
This instantly brought her back to that moment: she had endured the siege of Minzhou for months, and then she jumped off Phoenix Mountain, hoping to leave a clean reputation for herself.
At this time, what was the emperor doing far away in Yanjing City?
The history book is just a girl who can be dressed up by anyone. Before her death, all she saw were Di Rong. Even if she swore to die rather than surrender, who would know?
At this moment, she even thought about what would happen after her death. Those brave generals who had followed her for many years, and the Ye family's generations of loyalty and achievements that had stood for a hundred years, had all turned to ashes under the majestic imperial power?
At this time, footsteps were heard.
The sound of footsteps on the stone slabs is clear, steady and calm, just like the alternation of day and night, clear and regular.
This made Ye Tianhui feel suffocated, and she felt like she was about to be exposed to the scorching sun.
The footsteps stopped and the surroundings became unusually quiet.
Ye Tianhui's consciousness slowly returned, and she looked ahead.
Next to the log-colored stable, amid the bleak swaying of brick-red cattail grass, she saw a pair of sneakers, and further up, a pair of straight, slender thighs wrapped in jeans.
She looked up, trying to see the man's face.
But I can't see clearly.
In the halo of backlight, his tall figure was surrounded by a halo. She opened her eyes wide, but could not see his appearance clearly.
She opened her lips, wanting to make a sound, wanting to question him, but she couldn't make any sound at this moment.
At this moment, the man took a step and walked towards her.
Then she saw the pair of long legs wrapped in jeans, moving towards her step by step.
He walked slowly, his sneakers making a slight rustling sound on the weeds and fallen leaves.
She thought, he must be it.
No one in this world could cause such a shock to her except that person, the supreme authority that she had been taught since she was a child.
Just then, she heard a voice from above: "Are you here to deliver fodder?"
Ye Tianhui's brain froze for a moment.
His voice was clearly that of a saint, but what was he saying?
Then she heard a laugh, clear and joyful, with a hint of teasing and mockery.
He smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? The grass over there is very soft and easy to step on."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards her: "Come here."
Ye Tianhui looked at the hand in front of her for a long time, then looked at the man again.
He walked closer to her, and then, as if the magic had disappeared, the halo disappeared.
In the lush autumn light, she could clearly see his appearance.
He has high brow bones and handsome facial lines. He looks like a saint, whether it is the depth of his eyebrows, the steepness of his nose, or of course the smile on his lips at this moment, which is so elegant that it seems to make everything in the world dim.
But there seems to be some slight difference.
His short, thick black hair was of a modern style, which removed the mysterious aura of the ancient emperor's twelve-tassel crown and added a touch of casual comfort. Besides, the shirt and jeans made him seem approachable.
An autumn wind blew, and the branches and leaves were blown against each other, making a rustling sound. The sparse light spots that leaked through the branches and leaves and the gaps in the stable fell on his face, making his pupils look like they were filled with sincere and kind light.
He was still smiling, smiling at himself.
Ye Tianhui pursed her lips, suppressed her emotions, and finally reached out her hand tentatively.
When the man's hands held hers, she felt a warm strength, with a hint of the dryness and mellowness of grass.
The man's light gray shirt sleeves were half rolled up, and his arms were wheat-colored and looked very strong.
He gave her a gentle tug and she stood up.
After standing up, Ye Tianhui realized that this man was really tall.
She was considered tall and thin in the mainland, and she felt a height advantage when she came to Hong Kong, but in front of this man, she could only look at his lips level.
She pursed her slightly dry lips again and asked tentatively: "Who are you?"
The man still had a friendly smile on his face. He looked at her and said, "It seems I made a mistake. The horse ranch supply department just called me and said they would send me some fresh fodder. I heard the commotion and came out, thinking you were there to deliver fodder."
Ye Tianhui: "Oh..."
She looked at the stable, then at the man in front of her. He was wearing a casual grey shirt that didn't look too fancy, and his jeans had traces of wear and tear.
She thought, this couldn't be him, after all, he was such a noble and particular person.
Of course, what's more important is that if it was him, even if he smiled when he saw her, that smile would definitely carry a meaning that was difficult for her to understand, and then he would say lightly, "General Ye, I hope you are well."
How could he pretend not to know her? After all, he should know very well that even if times have changed, even if the former dynasty has long since disappeared, as long as it is him, as long as he reveals her identity, he can easily hold her hostage and make her still die for him.
This was once the stigma of the entire family, the teachings of her parents since childhood, and the mission she could never betray.
She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Very good, that's good.
Regardless of whether this person is his reincarnation or not, as long as he doesn't remember, that's great, she can free herself from the shackles of the past.
So she made herself feel relaxed and spoke in a natural tone, "I am indeed a staff member here, but I have only been here for two days and I am still getting familiar with the work."
Then, she looked around the stables with feigned confusion. "Excuse me, who are you? Are you in charge of the horses here?"
The man's dark eyes were filled with a gentle smile. He looked at her innocent and bewildered face and said with a smile, "You don't even know me?"
Ye Tianhui was very calm: "Oh? Are you famous?"
The man smiled and said, "My last name is Gu, and my given name is Shi Zhang."
Gu?
The sage naturally does not have the surname Gu, the sage’s surname is the surname of the heavenly family.
Ye Tianhui: "Then what? What do you do?"
The man raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Shouldn't you tell me your name? Otherwise, it's really unfair."
He scanned Ye Tianhui's clothes and said, "Otherwise I would have misunderstood you as a wall-climbing scoundrel."
Ye Tianhui was stunned.
Beneath this man's seemingly gentle smile, there is actually a sharp edge hidden, which must not be underestimated.
So she finally managed a smile: "Hello, Mr. Gu, I've only been here for two days and am still in the familiarization phase. I don't understand a lot of things yet, so please bear with me."
Then, she looked into his dark eyes and said with a smile, "My last name is Ye."
She saw that the man didn't react at all when she said her last name.
She continued, "My name is Ye Tianhui."
She spoke slowly because she wanted to clearly capture the man's reaction when he heard her name, but there was no reaction. There was a calm and gentle smile in his eyes.
Gu Shizhang, who was standing by, still had a smile on his face as he said softly, "It's Miss Ye. Nice to meet you."
Ye Tianhui raised her eyes and smiled, "Actually, Mr. Gu, the reason I reacted so strongly when I saw you just now is because you look very familiar to me, like a friend of mine."
Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Really? What friend? He looks like me? Am I lucky enough to know him?"
Ye Tianhui looked into his eyes and said, "He is no longer alive."
Gu Shizhang shrugged regretfully: "That's a pity. He must be a very good friend of yours."
Ye Tianhui looked at his reaction and became more and more certain in her heart that it seemed that it was not the case.
So she felt a little disappointed, a little relieved, and of course more relaxed.
Gu Shizhang laughed and said, "Were you trying to see the light just now?"
Ye Tianhui: "Gather the light?"
Gu Shizhang nodded: "I thought you saw the horse I just fed. Its name is Longguang. It is a very good horse."
Ye Tianhui was somewhat interested: "Can I go and take a look?"
A charming smile appeared on Gu Shizhang's lips. He smiled and looked around. Then he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Normally, you're not allowed to look around casually, but since there's no one around now, you can take a look secretly. I'll take you in?"
Ye Tianhui: "Okay."
