Chapter 347 A World for Two for the Couple
Behind the mountain, in a spacious open area.
A tall figure wielding a long spear moved with the speed of a shooting star, his movements so swift that he left afterimages, as if he were a single man forming an array. The man followed the spear, the spear reflecting the cold stars, the spear tip piercing the air, the spear spirit trembling, emitting a deep "hum" sound, like a giant python turning and stirring up the clouds.
Suddenly, he flipped and landed, thrusting his spear with all his might, "Clang!"
The spear tip pierced the crevice in the rock behind him, but the boulder suddenly shattered with a deafening roar!
The dust from the rubble was blasted away by an invisible burst of energy, forming a thick cloud of smoke that spread outwards.
He holstered his gun, stood up, and turned to look at the person who had come from behind him.
At this moment, he exuded a mature charm, with cold features and murderous eyes, like a wild beast whose territory had been invaded, inspiring awe and making people dare not approach.
Yun Zhaoxue clapped her hands, making a crisp sound. "Not bad! My husband has learned excellent martial arts. If he goes to the battlefield again in the future, he will surely be invincible and recover lost territory."
"Xue'er, why did you come all of a sudden? Did something happen at home?"
The terrain here is steep and precipitous, and it is difficult for people without skills to climb up. Almost no one comes here.
Yun Zhaoxue had only been here once; the two little ones clung to her, making it impossible for her to leave.
He occasionally practices shooting here, discusses important matters with his men, and spends the rest of his time either in the fields or at home taking care of his children, or attending Zhao Xuan's boring banquets.
"Zhuiying said you were in a bad mood and sent me to check on you. What happened in the capital?"
"The Great Jing attacked and captured the capital, massacred the people, and took the royal family and the remaining people to the north. The situation in the north is very unfavorable for the Great Zhou. To recover the lost territory, we will have to pay a heavy price."
"The Xiao family army was scattered, several important towns in the north were lost, and the capital was also lost. My father once said that as long as there was one son in the Xiao family, he should guard the border and not let the enemy invade our Central Plains. I have failed my father's expectations."
He lowered his eyes, which were filled with grief and helplessness.
As a man of seven feet tall, I watched helplessly as my country fell into enemy hands, powerless to do anything about it.
I have failed the country and its people above, and I have failed my father's entrustment below.
Yun Zhaoxue threw herself into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Xiao Xuance put down the spear and let it lean against a tree. He held her in his arms and smelled the fragrance emanating from her hair. Only then did his anxious heart find some comfort.
"It's not your fault, nor is it the Xiao family's fault. The higher-ups made a mistake in decision-making, fell for the enemy's divisive tactics, and listened to the slander of treacherous officials, which led to the defeat of the army by targeting the Xiao family."
You are still alive, you are still young, and you still have excellent martial arts skills.
I believe you will be able to reclaim the lost lands of the Great Zhou and avenge the fallen people.
Xiao Xuance was moved and lowered his head to kiss her cheek and the corner of her lips.
The misfortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty all stemmed from the loss of power of the Xiao family army. The decline of the Xiao family began, and he blamed himself for not protecting his father and failing to overturn the Xiao family's case, which gave the Great Jing Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
He did his best, but no one in the court believed him. No matter how hard he tried to overturn the verdict, no one believed him. He almost lost his life. He really did his best.
His Xue'er was his confidante, the one who understood him best.
Looking at his little wife in his arms, Xiao Xuance's resolute features softened, tenderness appeared between his brows, and his deep phoenix eyes shone with starlight.
Thinking of his previous life's ending, Yun Zhaoxue reminded him, "Zhao Xuan, for his own selfish desires, disregarded the lives of the people of Lingnan, causing a large number of people to be homeless. He will not be a wise ruler. If he wants to recover lost territory without any worries and protect the people, he cannot be controlled by others, nor can he entrust his life to others. He must hold it in his own hands."
Xiao Xuance understood what she meant.
"Now all the armies that have come to the aid of the emperor support Zhao Xuan as emperor. I will pretend to comply first, and then make further plans after I have obtained military power."
"Yes, that's what I'm planning to do too."
He had soldiers, and she had money and supplies.
With such top-of-the-line configuration, they overthrew the tyrannical emperor and recreated a peaceful and prosperous era.
A cold wind blew by, and Xiao Xuance noticed the person in his arms shiver. He took her to a small wooden hut and started a fire.
Yun Zhaoxue saw a bed and a quilt inside the room.
The bedding is all new.
There were a few sweet potatoes in the corner and a few ears of corn hanging on the wall.
If you get hungry while discussing important matters in the cabin, you can roast sweet potatoes or corn.
She'll even take a nap when she's tired; she really knows how to enjoy life.
Yun Zhaoxue said, "Are you planning to spend the night here? Practicing your spear day and night? Your martial arts haven't declined either. Is Wanyan Zonglie that powerful?"
“He was no match for me a year ago, which is why he resorted to scheming and trickery to deal with the Xiao family. He is a despicable and treacherous villain.”
Yun Zhaoxue nodded in agreement, "I thought you were going to go into seclusion on the mountain to practice your skills and prepare for the battlefield in the future."
"Practicing martial arts won't interfere with going home to sleep. You said last time you wanted to be outside, so..."
He prepared this room outside, while she had to manage the shop's business, the crops in the fields, and take care of the children.
He didn't mention it.
Yun Zhaoxue then remembered.
It seems she really did say something like that.
I've been so busy these past few days that I've become quite detached from worldly desires.
Yun Zhaoxue got up and sat sideways in the man's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Everything is arranged at home. You can do whatever you want tonight."
She decided to get some fresh air after spending all her time at home with her two little ones.
I've already told my family not to come out looking for her if she doesn't go back.
It's been three months since I finished my postpartum confinement.
"Really?" Xiao Xuance's voice was low and hoarse, his Adam's apple bobbing. Happiness came too suddenly; he felt like he was dreaming.
Yun Zhaoxue tilted her head back and kissed his thin lips.
Xiao Xuance's hands, which were around her waist, gradually moved up to support the back of her head. He responded passionately, capturing her delicate red lips with his own, biting, grinding, and sucking, prying open her lips and teeth, and charging forward...
The kiss was urgent and fierce.
The kiss ended.
Xiao Xuance's chest heaved. He used to be too unrestrained at home, but now that he was out with his wife, he felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
Xiao Xuance picked up the person in his arms and carried him to the bed.
They all need to vent.
Hug, kiss, undress, directly, afterwards, it's still early, do it a few more times, sneak back.
The Great Zhou needs her; it's time to part ways.
...
The bed curtains fell, and the candlelight was extinguished by a gust of wind from a palm strike.
A rustling sound of clothes being removed rang out, and two outer robes floated out from the curtains and hung on the rack.
Yun Zhaoxue's hand, which was pressed against the man's chest, moved downwards...
The man groaned.
She curled her lips into a wicked smile and gave the man a provocative look.
The man leaned down, his strong waist sinking, and gently bit her moist, swollen lips.
"Ugh, you bastard, you dare bite me..."
"I'll let you bite me back in a bit." The man's voice was low and hoarse.
Yun Zhaoxue couldn't stand his dawdling anymore. He kept kissing her but wouldn't get to the point. She completely lost her patience and rolled over to pin him down.
In crucial moments, she's the one who has to step up.
A quarter of an hour later, the bed curtains started moving on their own without any wind, swaying rapidly, causing the hanging golden curtain hooks to tremble and bump against the bedposts, making soft, clear sounds.
A moment later, a suppressed, broken sob came from inside the tent, "Mmm... I'm tired, come here..."
The woman's seductive moans and the man's heavy breathing mingled together, indistinguishable from each other.
The bed, unable to bear the weight, occasionally creaked.
The room was pitch black, with only a sliver of dim moonlight filtering through the cracks, through which the flickering shadow could be vaguely seen and lingered for a long time.
One hour later.
Yun Zhaoxue's eyes were unfocused and vacant, her swollen lips were slightly parted, a few strands of hair clung to her sweaty neck, her eyelashes were half-closed and covered with a layer of damp mist, and the thin red at the corners of her eyes had not yet faded.
She was slumped in the messy bed, her breath weak and feeble, like a begonia flower battered by a storm.
The man he had just pushed away pressed against him again.
She turned slightly away from him, "What else do you want to do?"
After an hour of struggling, she felt like her whole body was falling apart.
The man's burning kiss landed on her neck, with an undeniable force. His tall frame almost completely enveloped her in his arms, his intense body heat nearly melting her. His delicate kisses lingered on her neck...
Yun Zhaoxue raised her hand, intending to push the person away.
But the man's strong arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, and she didn't have the strength to push him away.
"Xue'er, I still want to..."
"No, you don't want to..."
The man didn't answer her, but continued to tease her sensitive earlobe.
"Waaaah, hurry up..."
"Yes, my wife."
...
The next day, Yun Zhaoxue woke up to find herself lying in her bed at home.
When did she come back last night?
Why don't I remember her?
I think I've fainted from exhaustion.
Young brothers are just great.
I felt refreshed after getting out of bed; I must have cleaned up last night.
The two babies are not inside the house.
She sat in front of her dressing table getting her hair done, worried about her two children, and called out to the outside, "Red dates, green branches."
The two people pushed open the door and entered the room. "Miss, you're awake?"
"What about the two children?"
"Inside the princess's room." The two men walked behind her and skillfully began to do her hair and makeup.
"The young master said you were not feeling well and did not want anyone to disturb you, so he packed up all their things and took them over."
"Did they cry and make a fuss because they couldn't see me?"
"When the young master was taken away, he was hungry and cried for a while. The young master was worried that he would wake you up, so he threatened him that if he cried again and woke you up, he would be taken away and not allowed to see you. He seemed to be frightened and silently shed tears. His little body trembled and his eyes were swollen from crying. No one could comfort him."
As Green Branch finished combing her hair and was about to put it up, she noticed the obvious red marks on her fair neck and exclaimed, "Princess, you were bitten by mosquitoes in the mountains last night!"
I saw the red dates too, and quickly rummaged through drawers and cabinets looking for the ointment.
Yun Zhaoxue, "..."
It was just a big mosquito bite. I'll skip the swelling ointment for now and go check on the kids next door with my hair down.
