Chapter 258 "As witnesses to the gods and Buddhas, my heart remains unwavering."
How much does he love her?
In fact, Pei Jingxu has always been curious about this question.
It was she who planned it deliberately, using any means necessary to get close to him, seduce him, and lure him into falling for it step by step.
She also thought that after he learned the truth, her fate would definitely not be good.
But Pei Jingxu didn't expect that he would come all the way from the capital to Luzhou, nor did she expect that he would say to her, I will marry you.
People say that Rong Jianxue is a true gentleman in the world, who restrains himself and upholds propriety, is careful in his words and deeds, and keeps himself as pure as jade.
People say that such a gentleman practices Buddhism, is proficient in the six virtues, and has only great love for all living beings in his heart.
But at this moment, the man's eyes were clear, and he just looked at her: "God and Buddha are my witnesses, my heart will not waver."
His gods and Buddhas are not in the temple.
——In her eyebrows and palms.
So, she just beckoned him, and he bowed down to her like the most devout believer.
Pei Jingxu heard his answer.
The corners of her lips stained with a smile, and her eyebrows curved: "Then prove it to me, Rong Jianxue."
The long wind blew up the man's black hair like a waterfall and blew up his fiery robes.
Rong Jianxue took a step forward and stood in front of her, standing in the windward position.
He lowered his eyes to look at her and said only one word.
"good."
Pei Jingxu smiled and tilted his head: "Rong Jianxue, I think the Queen is more worthy of my beauty than the Imperial Edict, what do you think?"
Rong Jianxue remained calm, unconcerned with the stunned and shocked looks of those around her. She nodded slightly, "Yes."
Pei Jingxu also nodded like him: "Rong Jianxue, I want to be the queen."
"good."
So easy to talk to.
Pei Jingxu's eyes flashed with malice, and he raised an eyebrow at him: "What if I say I want to be the emperor?"
"How dare you!" General She on the side couldn't stand it anymore!
The emperor is still alive, and it is inappropriate to discuss the emperor and empress!
Now, this Prime Minister's wife is actually talking about becoming an "Emperor"!?
Don’t you want your head anymore?
Jiang Hui, who was standing by, saw General She about to step forward, so he drew out his sword and held it across his face.
"General, this is a private matter between my master and his wife."
General She frowned when he heard this, and then glanced at Jiang Hui with a frown.
He sighed, turned around and ignored it.
Rong Jianxue continued to look at her, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Pei Jingxu said.
"Okay," Rong Jianxue paused, frowned slightly, and added, "There can only be me in the harem."
Pei Jingxu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Forget it, I'd rather not be the emperor. Being an emperor is too tiring and will make my hair fall out." Pei Jingxu smoothed the black hair at his temples. "The throne is not as important as my beauty."
Upon hearing this, Rong Jianxue nodded seriously.
——He thinks so too.
She is very beautiful.
He wanted to keep her beautiful longer.
Turning around, Pei Jingxu faced outside the city again, looking at the army that was getting closer and closer, and looking at Shen Qianfan and Bai Shutong who were shouting in the distance.
"Get the bow."
Pei Jingxu spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui took out the bow and arrow without saying a word and presented it to Pei Jingxu with both hands.
The bow and arrow was much lighter than the one Rong Jianxue had just held.
But for Pei Jingxu, it is actually quite heavy.
I held it in both hands and could hardly lift it.
Behind Pei Jingxu, the man held up her hands, his broad hands covering the backs of her hands, lending her strength to bend the bow and draw the arrow.
"Kill who."
A man's calm and reassuring voice came to my ears.
Pei Jingxu curled his lips slightly, and the arrow slowly moved towards the sedan chair and Bai Shutong.
General She, who was standing by, saw Pei Jingxu's intention and frowned slightly: "Madam, we have just tried it!"
"Tens of thousands of troops can't kill Bai, she must be using some kind of magic!"
"Madam, even the Prime Minister cannot shoot Bai, so you should not—"
"General She," Rong Jianxue lifted Pei Jingxu's hands without looking back at him, "Shut up."
General She frowned, pursed his lips and remained silent.
Pei Jingxu took a deep breath, and even though his hands were supported by Rong Jianxue, they were still trembling slightly.
——In fact, Pei Jingxu didn’t know whether what he thought was right or not.
If, if all her ideas were wrong, then all of these people today would be buried with her in the capital.
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu closed his eyes slightly and loosened his grip on the bow and arrow a little.
She seems to have a lot of responsibilities to shoulder.
Pei Jingxu is not good at these.
Standing at the forefront of the crowd means bearing the consequences of failure.
"Rong Jianxue..."
Pei Jingxu's voice trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something.
She is not actually a very brave person.
I never thought of becoming a savior.
The only thing she wanted was her own life.
But now, because of Rong Jianxue, she stood in front of everyone.
Behind her, Pei Jingxu's back was pressed against Rong Jianxue's chest, and she could feel the man's steady and calm heartbeat.
A clear and calm man's voice came from above: "Pei Jingxu, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"I'm standing here, and I'm your support."
"No matter what happens, I'll take care of it."
Pei Jingxu felt that Rong Jianxue didn't even know what she was thinking, but said such "foolish" words to her.
Pei Jingxu chuckled softly: "What if I mess up?"
Rong Jianxue said in a clear voice: "I'm here, this is not possible."
Pei Jingxu took a deep breath, finally mustered up the courage again, and gripped the bow and arrow tightly in his hand.
The arrow was placed on the bowstring.
"Hold your breath and concentrate." Rong Jianxue taught her.
The arrow pointed directly at the white tung tree on the sedan chair.
The arrow wound had healed long ago. Bai Shutong stood on a high place, as if he was blessed with good fortune and was a favorite of heaven.
"Rong Jianxue, how about we make a bet?"
"Okay," Rong Jianxue responded straightforwardly, "You go ahead."
Pei Jingxu curled his lips and said softly, "If I kill Bai Shutong this time, you will come to marry me in a sedan chair carried by eight people."
Rong Jianxue pursed her thin lips slightly.
No response.
Not hearing his answer, Pei Jingxu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Rong Jianxue?"
The man said hoarsely: "Pei Jingxu, even if I didn't kill her, I would still marry you."
"There's no need to gamble."
In Rong Jianxue's opinion, the current "crisis" is not enough to affect their marriage.
Rong Jianxue would never allow any accidents to hinder them.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu chuckled and said nothing more.
The bowstring in his hand is fully drawn.
"Get ready," Pei Jingxu held his breath and concentrated, "release—"
“Swoosh——”
The arrow broke through the wind and shot straight towards Bai Shutong!
In the sedan chair in the distance, Bai Shutong seemed to have noticed the arrow shot towards her a long time ago, but her eyes were full of arrogance and contempt!
"A bunch of idiots!"
"A bunch of trash!"
"You can't kill me!"
"You guys don't deserve it at all!"
"You can't kill me, you can't kill—"
"laugh--"
Come to an abrupt end.
