Chapter 932 Extra Chapter: Xuan Yun 14
After living in this place for over twenty years, I'm now facing a completely new world and completely new people.
Although Ji Wenxuan often ridiculed and criticized her, he genuinely cared about her most of the time.
For so many years, since her mother passed away, she has never been cared for so meticulously.
"I've remembered that, and I will never let you down."
Youlan, like a child, made a promise to Ji Wenxuan.
Ji Wenxuan nodded, but it was clear that he had developed some affection for this older sister he had spent more than a month with.
"Alright, get in the car, we still have a long way to go!"
Ji Wenxuan urged her on, and Youlan nodded and slowly stepped onto the carriage.
However, as they were setting off, she couldn't help but look at Xu Yunzhi. "Young Master Xu, I can see that you care about Wenxuan, and Wenxuan cares about you too. Since you two are in love, I'll trouble you to take good care of Wenxuan when he's alone in the border town."
After saying this, Youlan gave Xu Yunzhi a look that said, "Don't worry, I understand."
Both Ji Wenxuan and Xu Yunzhi were taken aback.
They'd been so hesitant and indecisive for so long, but unexpectedly, this young woman, Youlan, broke through it all in one go.
The two of them blushed deeply. Seeing their expressions, Youlan covered her lips, suppressing a laugh, and ordered the people to set off.
On the way back, they walked hand in hand. The morning wind brushed against their faces, and a chill swept over them, but neither of them spoke.
Xu Yunzhi secretly observed Ji Wenxuan and noticed that he walked with an unnatural gait, causing his eyes to twitch upwards.
"Wenxuan".
Xu Yunzhi called out to him.
Ji Wenxuan turned around and met his smiling eyes. Instantly, Ji Wenxuan felt something sprout in his heart.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Wenxuan's answer was very ordinary, just like when he asked him before.
But because of what Youlan said just now, things are a little different.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you'd like to travel the world with me, just the two of us."
Xu Yunzhi finally took the initiative to ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
Looking into Ji Wenxuan's eyes, Xu Yunzhi felt a little scared for the first time, afraid that his thoughts were wrong and that he would reject him in the next second.
However, the expected answer did not appear. After a moment of silence, Ji Wenxuan nodded.
"Before that, I think you will stay with me to guard this frontier."
After Ji Wenxuan finished speaking, Xu Yunzhi smiled at the same time as him, and then the two of them walked side by side again towards the General's Mansion.
After learning of each other's feelings, their relationship became even closer than before.
Every day after Ji Wenxuan returned from training his troops, Xu Yunzhi would prepare a large table of food, and the two would chat over the dishes about the mountains and rivers, and the passing of days and nights.
Pleasant days always pass quickly, and after another half month, Xu Yunzhi's good days finally came to an end.
Because of his long absence, the number of memorials from the State of Jin that required his approval was countless.
Urgent letters were sent to the frontier, and Xu Yunzhi could no longer delay, so he had to bid farewell to Ji Wenxuan and return to the State of Jin.
Ji Wenxuan himself practiced every day, so he naturally knew how important the monarch was to a country.
That evening, Ji Wenxuan helped Xu Yunzhi pack his belongings, and the next morning, he personally escorted Xu Yunzhi out of the city.
Do you remember the first time I saw you off?
Ji Wenxuan asked Xu Yunzhi.
Xu Yunzhi nodded, then pointed to the city wall behind him, "Although you didn't say it, I still caught a glimpse of you. You were standing there, watching me leave."
As Xu Yunzhi recounted the events of that time, Ji Wenxuan guessed that Xu Yunzhi must have known he was there, but he never expected that Xu Yunzhi knew so clearly.
A warm feeling washed over him. Ji Wenxuan looked at the distant mountains ahead and said, "This time, I'll take you there. From now on, you'll have to walk the rest of the way alone."
Ji Wenxuan longed to go to Jin with him, but just as the Ji family army couldn't do without him, he couldn't leave this city even a step away.
"One day, we will travel all over this beautiful land together and see all the scenery."
Xu Yunzhi looked at Ji Wenxuan with bright eyes, and both of them saw in each other's eyes a longing and aspiration for the future.
"Wenxuan, shall we have a match?"
There was still some distance between here and the place Ji Wenxuan mentioned, so the two could obviously have another round of competition.
Ji Wenxuan was naturally happy to compete with him, so he immediately agreed.
Xu Yunzhi, dressed in flowing blue robes, and Ji Wenxuan, in a black military uniform, galloped across the vast expanse of land on two horses. Although their attire was vastly different, it did not feel out of place at all.
On the hillside, Ji Wenxuan watched Xu Yunzhi and his entourage slowly depart, remaining there for a long time.
The last time Xu Yunzhi went back, he was dealing with troubles. This time, he is going to be his king. But for Ji Wenxuan, the feeling of parting was no different.
Because no matter what he does, that person always seems to stir his emotions.
Day after day of training, Ji Wenxuan seemed to be almost forgetting what Xu Yunzhi looked like.
Spring comes and goes in the east, flowers bloom and fade, and two years have passed since Xu Yunzhi left. Everything in the border town seems unchanged.
That day, Ji Wenxuan had just returned to the general's mansion after finishing his military affairs when the steward delivered a letter.
Looking at the unfamiliar handwriting, Ji Wenxuan glanced at it with some suspicion.
Slowly opening it, the letter was indeed not from Xu Yunzhi or the capital, but from Hu Zi, the village head's son.
The letter said that Xiao Cui had given birth to a big, healthy baby boy, and to thank him for his help to the two of them, he was specially invited to attend the baby's one-month celebration.
Ji Wenxuan had attended his subordinates' weddings in the border regions, and naturally, he had also attended many full-moon celebrations, so he found it all rather uninteresting.
Just as he was about to have the housekeeper prepare a gift and send it over, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Cui and Hu Zi were brought together by Xu Yunzhi, so he changed his mind.
"Prepare a gift and come with me to a banquet outside the city the day after tomorrow."
Ji Wenxuan gave the housekeeper some instructions and then went back to his room to rest.
Two days later, Ji Wenxuan was warmly welcomed by the village head's family as soon as he arrived in the village. Xiao Cui even hugged her child and rushed forward, insisting that the child should share in Ji Wenxuan's good fortune.
Ji Wenxuan was embarrassed by the villagers' enthusiasm. Just as he was feeling a little lost, a familiar voice came from the village.
"After two years, Wenxuan has become quite the hot commodity!"
Ji Wenxuan turned around, and there was Xu Yunzhi leaning against the door frame, smiling at him with a nonchalant air.
The boy was still the same boy; apart from getting older, his personality hadn't changed at all.
“That still can’t compare to how popular Xu Yunzhi is.” Ji Wenxuan smiled and then reserved a spot for Xu Yunzhi.
Years later, the world was unified, and Xu Yunzhi and Ji Wenxuan finally laid down their burdens and wandered the world together on horseback.
