Chapter 72: Newborn becomes a villain and becomes a plaything...
The leisure time passed quickly, and Li Yulan's health was getting better day by day. He drank medicine on time three times a day under the supervision of Mingfeng and Buping (a master of the martial arts world). Although it was not very tasty, it was not very bitter either.
At least the food is much better than in previous years.
Lou Wanqiao would also come to check on her on time every day, collect the medicinal herbs shipped from various places, and deliver them to Mingfeng on time every day according to Mingfeng's requirements.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
Lou Wanqiao felt inexplicably refreshed after waking up, and he was still half asleep when he pushed open Li Yulan's door.
"Azhao?... Why are you here so early?" Li Yulan rubbed his eyes. He was able to get out of bed now and was in much better shape than before.
"I promised you a few days ago that I would take you to see some good things today," said Lou Wanqiao.
Li Yulan nodded, not quite understanding, but his eyes were still filled with confusion and bewilderment as he got into the carriage.
Wen Xuechi stepped into the carriage as usual and sat beside her. "Aqiao, everything has been arranged. They are all... quite looking forward to it."
"There has to be an explanation for this matter, no matter to whom it is given." Lou Wanqiao said calmly.
Li Yulan looked at her profile and had a vague guess in his mind.
These days he took his medicine on time and didn't ask about what was happening outside. Firstly, he believed that Lou Wanqiao would handle it, and secondly, he didn't care about those people and those things.
He only wants revenge.
Although Li Yulan's body has recovered a little, it is still in a weak state and needs to be repaired slowly. His physical strength is not so abundant, and he is leaning against the window of the carriage with his eyes closed to rest.
Soon, the carriage stopped at a place.
Lou Wanqiao was the first to get off the carriage. As soon as Li Yulan's feet touched the ground, he suddenly raised his head, eyes full of shock: "This is..."
The grand racecourse stretched out before his eyes. This place was filled with many painful memories. He suddenly felt dizzy and a familiar feeling of nausea came over him.
"Li Yulan? ...Li Yulan!"
Lou Wanqiao brought him back to his senses. Li Yulan calmed his thoughts and smiled wanly: "Azhao, what are you bringing me to this place...for?"
"Please enjoy the show." Lou Wanqiao helped him sit down in an area with a wide view. Li Yulan saw the familiar figures in the center of the racecourse at a glance.
...can't forget.
No matter how time changes, no matter what happens in the future, he will never forget it.
The ugly smile and disgusting expression appeared in my mind, forming a sharp contrast with the scene before me.
Wanyan Shuo was in the center of the horse farm. His former gorgeous clothes and precious ornaments and pearls had disappeared, replaced by reins and chains.
There was panic and fear in his eyes, his head was lowered, and he was muttering something.
The distance was too far and no one on the platform could hear clearly.
Li Yulan noticed that besides them, there were many other people sitting in the stands.
Some are familiar faces.
There was numbness on their faces, but something was surging in their eyes, like buds buried in the soil, longing for rain for a long time.
Not only is Wanyan Shuo present at the racecourse, but there are also people who once sat on the high platform to bet on horses. They once had the purest malice and the most disgusting laughter, treating human lives as worthless, and could easily crush lives without any care, playing with them in the palm of their hands.
Now, they have become the "weeds" they once saw.
Anxiety and fear filled the faces and hearts of each of them.
Li Yulan thought to himself: It turns out they would also be afraid in such a situation.
They were clearly in the same place, in the same racecourse, so why couldn't they laugh when they got down there?
No one in the stands had a smile on their face.
Unlike those who once did, they don't find it funny.
But it's satisfying.
Watching those who once trampled on lives fall into this situation, let them experience firsthand the atrocities they once committed, and let those reins and torture instruments be put on them.
There is no true empathy in the world unless you stand in the same situation and experience it yourself.
As evil people, they will not reflect on themselves, and they will cry bitterly only because they are punished.
The taste of those tears was not regret.
But it didn't matter anymore. The eyes in the stands gradually brightened as they watched the people on the racecourse surge forward, fighting each other. The violence once inflicted on them was now turned against the group. They realized that from tonight on, they would no longer be trapped in a small space, no longer be insulted and whipped, and no longer be forced to bite each other for a bite of food.
The buds that were crushed into the soil broke through the ground after the first spring rain.
Lou Wanqiao turned his head to look at Li Yulan beside him, and something in his eyes was quietly shattering.
After this, everything is empty.
Tears flowed from those clear eyes, and almost everyone in the stands were cheering, singing, hugging each other and crying.
It was unknown who was the first to charge forward, but then others followed, and then more and more people poured into the racecourse, into this place that had once branded them with pain. With grievance, anger, and resolute courage, they tore apart the demons who had bullied and oppressed them with their own hands.
At this moment, suffering and oppression became a thing of the past.
They truly welcomed a new life.
…
Before leaving, Lou Wanqiao specifically ordered people to protect Wanyan Shuo and several key figures.
Of course, this doesn't mean letting them go.
But his sins were too great, and he had not yet fully repaid his debts. How could he die so easily?
"Put them in the brothel. After all, this is their favorite place. Hey, don't let them die easily. I remember there are still many elixirs in the Jin Dynasty's treasury. Use them when necessary." Lou Wanqiao whispered.
He nodded seriously: "Yes."
Li Yulan leaned against the side of the carriage, looking at Lou Wanqiao with curiosity. He tutted twice and pretended to be surprised, "This is the first time I've truly seen the legendary Jade-faced Shura. Fortunately, we are no longer enemies now."
Lou Wanqiao didn't even raise his head: "Why, are you scared?"
"Afraid?" Li Yulan chuckled and slowly leaned close to her ear, his warm breath falling on her ear. "It's better to say... I feel so safe. I love you even more, Azhao!"
A familiar chill crept up his back. Lou Wanqiao finally raised his hands, folded his arms, and subconsciously shrank back: "Don't..."
A more familiar chill came from the side. Lou Wanqiao turned his head and met Wen Xuechi's death stare.
He had a cold, expressionless look, and he looked at Li Yulan as if he was looking at a dead object.
Lou Wanqiao's heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around and said sternly, "Your Highness, please respect yourself. Although we are now allies..."
"Hey, I've heard this so many times that my ears are almost callused." Li Yulan scratched his ears impatiently, leaning back on the cushion as if he had no bones, and then put on a smiling expression, "That's great, Azhao, thank you. I like this gift today very much. I really didn't expect..."
"As long as you like it, it's the result of your hard work. Without you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Lou Wanqiao exhaled. "I'm going to be away for a while. During this time, you must listen carefully to the doctor and familiarize yourself with the affairs of the Jin Kingdom. After all, you will be taking over everything in the future."
"Leave? Where are you going?" Li Yulan immediately asked, "Are you going back to Dali? Azhao, I can't handle this alone..."
"Don't give me that. I trust your abilities. The Jin Kingdom is right next to Dali. The next hundred years of peace and stability depend on you." Lou Wanqiao patted his shoulder. "I have something else to do. I'm not going back to Dali, and your health isn't suitable for following me. It's better for you to guard this place well and take care of everything so that I don't have to worry about anything."
Li Yulan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly after a moment: "...I understand. Azhao, I will wait for you well, I will always..."
Before she finished speaking, Wen Xuechi appeared from behind Lou Wanqiao. He put his arm around her shoulders in a familiar manner and said, "Ah Qiao, it's getting late and time is running out. Let's get going."
"OK."
Li Yulan glared, "Oh no, you, you...Azhao! Azhao, tell me where you're going first!"
The only response he got was Wen Xuechi's quickening retreating figure.
…
Lou Wanqiao turned his head to look at Wen Xuechi's serious profile, and couldn't help but feel amused. Why was he now avoiding Li Yulan like a mouse seeing a cat?
"I have prepared the carriage and luggage. There is no need to go back. We can set off at any time. Mingfeng has also been picked up and is waiting for us in the carriage. Didn't he say he was going to collect herbs? With his health, he can't delay for too long. We should go." Wen Xuechi said seriously.
Lou Wanqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "When did you become so concerned about his health?"
"What Qiao cares about is what I care about." Wen Xuechi pinched her fingers, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "I know Qiao wants to repay the favor. Although I don't know what happened between you, what Qiao believes must be right. All I have to do is walk this path with you."
Lou Wanqiao looked into his eyes, a smile playing on her lips. She reached out and slowly stroked his hair. "Thank you, Yan Gui."
Wen Xuechi's gaze was like spring water, so soft that it almost flowed out.
At this moment, a clear female voice interrupted them.
Ming Feng was indignant at the side: "Are you going to leave or not? I've been waiting for you for a long time! You guys are so affectionate... What about me! What about me!!"
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Wen Xuechi pulled Lou Wanqiao onto the carriage and turned to Mingfeng, "Don't be angry... When we get back, I'll write a letter and ask that Hero Yun to come and keep you company."
Ming Feng's eyes lit up and he leaned forward slightly: "Are you serious?"
"It's true. How could I lie to you?" Wen Xuechi said with certainty.
She slapped her thigh, her impatience vanishing in an instant. She immediately raised her head and said cheerfully, "Then you guys continue. Actually, it's okay for me to wait a little longer... Oh, I'm just an impatient person. Hero Wen, please don't take it to heart... Although this journey is extremely dangerous, don't be afraid! I'll bring you back in good health no matter what!"
Lou Wanqiao: “…Ah?”
