C102

The river gurgled like a poem or a song. He had clearly returned from the smoke, yet he was in a joyful mood as if he was living in a painting of mountains and rivers, in which only beauties, green mountains, and evening songs seemed like a dream.

In front of the beautiful woman, under her coarse cloth skirt, was a delicate calf. Her slender ankle and delicate feet lightly tiptoed as she stepped on the stone before slowly descending … One, one, it was like stepping on Yulixiao's heart.

"Yu Yan..." He pursed her lips and whispered.

"Eh …" She tilted her face slightly, her long eyelashes drooping slightly.

"You're beautiful." Yulixiao chuckled.

"I just found out." She turned her head and blinked, her red lips moving slightly.

"Sorry, that's how I knew." Yulixiao laughed.

"Pfft." Yu Yan scolded as her head tilted to the side.

She did not ask him again whether he wanted to give her only her heart, and he did not answer her seriously. The wind suddenly grew stronger, lifting her three feet of black hair to cover her jade-like face. Yu Yan cried out in shock, jumped to the side and randomly grabbed onto his wrist. The green flogging stone was very slippery, he didn't know if it was on purpose for him to not be on guard, or if it had slipped under his feet as well, causing him to fall into the ice-cold water together with her …

"Eh …" She screamed again and flopped in the water a few times. She sat up on his arm and wiped the water off her face. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she forcefully poured a handful of water on his face.

He fell into the water, his long hair floating on the surface. The water came up over his face and stayed still for a long time.

Yu Yan pushed at his arm and said softly: "Get up, it's cold in the water."

He lay down again for a while before sitting up. Taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "I'm tired …"

Yu Yan was stunned.

It must be tiring for such an overlord to say the word 'tired' in front of her, right? He was also human. He had seven emotions, six desires, love, hatred, and anger … He was no different from her! In fact, he was even more tired, because he couldn't stop. If he stopped, it would be a cliff of life and death.

Yu Yan's heart had another word: Heartache.

Yu Yan suddenly felt sorry for him. She reached out her soft arms and patted his back a few times, as if she was comforting a child.

Yulixiao was startled, he slowly turned his head, and after a while, he laughed.

Yu Yan reacted and immediately retracted her hand. With a red face, she crawled out of the water and walked forward with her head lowered.

"Yu Yan, life is like a river. Water can only flow forward, but there are some things that water can never take away." He stood up. The sound of water splashing could be heard.

"For example …" Yu Yan asked softly.

"Our relationship." He came over and took her hand.

"Oh …" She pursed her lips.

It was unlikely that these two would say something too direct, and he took a detour and told her that no matter what he became in the future, she would be in his heart.

Yu Yan liked it when this kind of light appeared in the midst of the red fog. In the future, she would run towards this light.

Carrying her dripping skirt and embroidered shoes, she leaped over the rocky beach and began to run across the grass. Yulixiao first followed her slowly, then followed her with large strides. He leapt up and caught up to her, pulling her back as he ran at full speed in the Moonlight Forest like two children …

They were running towards the martial arts world with only the two of them.

The two horses quietly traversed the mountain trail, their figures occasionally obstructed by the dense foliage of the forest. When the moonlight leaked through, their figures could be vaguely seen.

Blue clothed, blue hat, Sulanqi. Black Robe, Black Robe, Black Robe.

The Buddha took off his mask, turned his head and looked at Sulanqi, then asked Sulanqi in puzzlement: "Master, this subordinate doesn't understand, Master spent so much thought just to get in to take a look at Lady Yu Yan. If Your Highness likes it, why didn't you bring her away? "

Sulanqi slowly took off the mask on her face, rubbed it until it was rotten on her palm and lit it with a fire piston. She casually threw it away and watched as the flame drew an arc in the sky, quickly turning into a ball of smoke and disappearing. A trace of a smile rose from the corner of her mouth before it slowly faded away. She said indifferently, "You think that you can take her with you tonight?"

"But there was clearly a secret letter, why did Yulixiao suddenly return to the camp after leading his troops across the river? Furthermore, this Miss Yu Yan is truly not simple, she is calm in the face of danger. However, he changed the subject and continued, "I'm afraid that Imperial Concubine is unhappy. She has always liked the princess of Duke Han Palace as a princess."

It was the dawn of winter, and he was sixteen years old. He was born with a beautiful appearance, but how could he be compared to Yu Yan?

There were countless beauties in the world. Yu Yan was peerless in the world, but today when they investigated her meridians, there was clearly someone suppressing the poison in her body. Who else was by her side? Needless to say, Nian An and Nian En were just ordinary girls. Ah Lang had always been serving in the brave army, and there wasn't anything special about him. In the entire Royal Mansion, who else could it be? Chen Yao was not one, but impossible. Could it be Ye Mingyue? This guess was a bit too much!

Sulanqi was filled with curiosity towards that man, and even more so, towards Yu Yan. A few leaves fell on his sleeve, shook the reins, the leaves flew away, and the horses galloped.

"Let's go to Qiang Yuan Temple."

"Master, we've been out for more than two months. The emperor's birthday is coming up. The imperial concubine urged us to leave a few times. If we don't go back now, I'm afraid the imperial concubine will blame you."

The pagoda looked at the moonlight and quickly chased after them. When it was already ugly, they had already been inside the mountain for an hour. Sulanqi did not panic as she walked around like she was taking a stroll in a courtyard. Right now, they still had to go to the Qiang Yuan Temple in Xuanleng, which was more than a thousand miles away.

"Go find a congratulatory gift that royal father is unwilling to part with." Sulanqi laughed. Her blue robe fluttered in the wind, like a wing on her back.

He was ranked sixth, and was never too interested in the throne. The crown prince and the others did not even care about him, and it was actually he who would bring back some new and coincidental things to make them happy.

This time, Sulanqi decided to bring the thing that the emperor wanted the most — the scroll of longevity — with it was the experience of an old man who had lived up to the age of one hundred and fifty. Not to mention living up to one hundred and fifty, even living up to ninety two hundred was what the emperor wanted as well.

The more power and fear of death, the more one wished to live forever and enjoy eternal glory.

The flag fluttered in the wind like a blazing sun.

Yu Yan and Ah Lang returned to the old camp together. The silver mask that Yulixiao gave her was lost, so she had to find it. Ah Lang came here to gather with the warriors.

Last night, she had already persuaded Yulixiao to let Ah Lang do what he wanted, rather than spending all her time on it, she had ten months.

There were also soldiers here to clean up the mess and bury the dead, whether it was the enemy or brave soldiers.

He searched through the collapsed area for a long time, but he didn't find any silver masks.

"Let's take a look from here." Disappointed, she pointed to a pile of broken wood.

"Empress, step back and allow this subordinate to take a step." The Ah Lang nodded and walked over with large strides. Using his thick arms to lift the broken piece of wood in each hand, he easily lifted it up. Sweat trickled down his swarthy face. He wiped it with his hand and picked up another two pieces of broken wood.

Yu Yan was overjoyed when a speck of silver light appeared. She quickly bent down and carefully picked up the dust from the broken branch. Then, she reached into the gap between the trees and pulled out the speck of silver light.

If it was not Chen Yao's, it was Ye Mingyue's. She wrapped it in a handkerchief and tucked it into her belt. She picked up a wooden stick and continued searching inside.

"Is Madam Mingyue locked up?" she asked casually.

"Yes, Madam Mingyue entered the camp without a mandate, and according to military law, she has to be whipped for fifty years." Ah Lang threw away the broken wood in his hand and continued to rummage through.

"Did the family she brought with her also enter the camp privately?" Yu Yan turned her head to look at him. Fifty lashes, would Ye Mingyue still be able to live?

"No, they are here to deliver the military salary. However, it's a pity that shopkeeper Jane and Shopkeeper Xiao died. These two are ruthless characters specially found in the King Xiao." Ah Lang shook his head regretfully.

"Is that so? But he was with us last night! "

Yu Yan's heart trembled, a thought flashed past her mind. His martial arts were not bad, it was just that he was not with them for the last few moments!

"Possibly last... "In short, he was shot several times. He is indeed dead." Ah Lang let out a long sigh, and said: "I heard that these words know many different languages, but the Ye Family's money bank cannot lack people."

Yu Yan frowned, she thought for a moment and asked: "Where are the other two?"

"Those two were only slightly injured," Ah Lang wiped his sweat, his eyes shining as he grinned, "I found them!"

He took out the mask, used his sleeves to wipe it clean and handed it over to Yu Yan.

"Thank you, Ah Lang." Yu Yan laughed, and then used the handkerchief to lightly wipe his face, covering his face with the mask, and looked up at him. Is there the mystery of the female hero from the martial arts world? "

Ah Lang laughed foolishly for a moment before nodding his head.

"Ah Lang, you are going to build your career, I hope you win. Thank you for protecting me these past few days." Yu Yan took a step forward and lightly patted his arm.

Ah Lang took a step back, cupped his fist, and respectfully bowed to her.

"The wangfei has great wisdom and elegance, your subordinate admires her."

I don't want to see you off. I believe that the Ah Lang will win for sure. I will wait for General Ah Lang's triumphant return and drink some celebratory wine with you. "

Yu Yan laughed, holding the mask tight with one hand, she turned and got on her horse.

"Princess, be careful." Ah Lang walked up and gently supported her.

"Ah Lang, take care." She mounted the horse, turned her head and smiled at him. The reins flashed, and she dashed out of the camp.

Several guards immediately followed after him. As the sand and dust flew in the air, she sped on as if she was flying.

When they returned back to the camp, Yulixiao had just finished discussing the matter and was walking out of the big tent with the other generals. Food was the most important thing, and the most important thing was to gather enough.

The two shopkeepers from the Ye Clan were waiting just outside the tent. When they heard about the provisions, one of them came forward and said in a low voice, "We are passing through a mountain from here. These people had little contact with the outside world and did not pay rent to the Middle Kingdom. Because they had a steep mountain barrier, the Imperial Court was unable to take down that place. If he could get food from them, that would be the fastest way. It would only take a day to travel from here. Unfortunately, Jane Yan is dead. He knows how to wish for things to happen, and has also interacted with people who wish for things to happen. "

Yulixiao gently frowned.

Yu Yan rode her horse into the camp. She was dressed in a moon-white dress and had a face covered in silver. Her long hair danced in the wind.

The horse only stopped in front of Yulixiao with its front hooves raised.

"When you stop, don't be in such a hurry. If there is an obstacle in front of you, you will be left behind." Yulixiao pulled the reins, and extended one hand out to her.
