Yang Liang's brows slightly trembled as he walked over to the bronze mirror and sized it up in a few deep glances. Perhaps he also realized that he had fallen down, and traces of solemnity gradually gathered on his face.

"Little Ling'Er, if you are willing to stay, then I am willing to do anything you want me to do." He looked at my packed bag and said, "You don't want us to separate right after we met? Give me some time to get used to it. "

"Hai." I sighed. "This place is not a place to stay. Sooner or later, I will have to leave."

Yang Liang hesitated for a moment before asking,

"I still don't understand how you got out of the palace. "The empress leaving the palace under the name of Weibo is definitely one of a kind, unless — unless Yang Guang cripples your position in the harem. But why?"

I shook my head, "No, he didn't cripple me. Even after I became crippled, there was no reason for me to leave the palace. He only placed me under house arrest. The cold pond in the palace is extremely dangerous, and every step is as difficult as walking on thin ice. I just wanted to get some fresh air."

Yang Liang's face froze, "So, you were sneakily found out? Don't tell me you're going back? "

I was astonished and immediately thought back to what I had said. I had only come out to take a breather. Could it be that my subconscious is still thinking about returning to the palace?

No, no, I will never go back. If I go back, I will walk into a trap. Since I want to go back, why should I waste so much effort to leave the palace?

"I'm a thief, but I don't want to go back."

Yang Liang let out a breath of relief as his expression eased up:

If you are discovered by Yang Guang, I'm afraid that you will first send someone to search for you in the south. The only thing I can do is to forgive this place, although it is a remote place, it is the hardest place to be found. Why don't you stay here for a long time?

I frowned. Yang Liang hurriedly said, "I mean that you can stay here for a long time, but I definitely won't give you any trouble. You can stay at ease, I don't have any extravagant hopes."

I shook my head, "No, Yang Guang has always been suspicious. Back then, he caught us sending messages and overheard our conversation in the dungeon. If he found out that I wasn't in the palace, I'm afraid the first thing he would have thought of would be you."

Yang Liang hurriedly waved his hands.

"Don't worry. It's already like this. Could it be that you're still afraid of being implicated?"

Even if he could spend one more day with me, it would be a great pleasure for him. Naturally, I understood that he was not worried about being implicated, but I could never implicate him again.

Furthermore, if they were to spend time together every day, it would be even more difficult to separate from each other in the future.

I slowly waved my hand and said,

"I know you're not afraid of being implicated, but I can't let him find me that quickly. How big of a crime was it, for the empress to leave the palace without permission? Even if he didn't dare to reveal himself to the world and only secretly search, even if he found you, it would be difficult for us to survive. This concerned his face, and even more so the face of Sui Sui. If I were to leave the palace, it would be treason and treason. "

Yang Liang's face darkened. Worry was apparent on his face, and he said with a pained heart:

"But little girl, you are alone, where should you go? If you are willing, I will only follow you to the ends of the earth, not to this place. "

Seeing how determined he was, my heart was filled with grief. The road ahead was boundless, so where should I go?

"Let's talk about this later. I agree to let you stay for a few days. Open the door, Qingcheng is still outside."

Yang Liang was overjoyed because I stayed behind. His eyes lit up again, reminding me of the young man who carried me to the Peach Blossom Garden.

Qingcheng stood at the door, seeing Yang Liang come out, with a glance, she immediately understood. After that, she happily held my hand, and said:

"Sister Xiao, you're willing to stay, right?"

I nodded and chuckled.

"Young Master Yang has just recovered from his illness, and we've chatted for half a day now. I'm afraid you've already starved to death. Have you prepared a meal?"

When Yang Liang heard what I said, he hurriedly covered his stomach and shouted,

"This reminder of my lil 'er, my chest is really pressed up against my back. Thank you so much for your trouble Lady Qingcheng."

Ever since she came to Eastbreak, Qingcheng had never seen Yang Liang smile. Now that she saw him so refreshed, she couldn't help but cry out of joy. Wiping her tears, she smiled and said:

"I've already prepared it."

The four of them sat around, eating and chatting in the cold winter, Lin Feng still opposed Yang Liang, but Yang Liang didn't seem to mind at all. Only Qingcheng, who was always staring at Yang Liang absentmindedly, gave birth to endless emotions in my heart. People who are infatuated with her will always be hurt by love, while I, for the time being, haven't thought of a good way to make Yang Liang accept Qingcheng.

After a few days of this idle time, the snow and ice began to melt. Although it was winter season, because of the warm and humid coastal climate, it actually felt slightly warm.

Yang Liang had been in high spirits for the past few days, and had returned to his original state, only adding to his calmness. Occasionally, he would spar with Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng was young, and Yang Liang was a general who had experienced many battles. In comparison, Lin Feng was always at a disadvantage.

However, he refused to admit defeat and instead trained hard every day. Although he still lived in the thatched cottage and mocked and ridiculed Yang Liang, on the surface, he gradually began to show respect towards him.

The days glided by, unknowingly reaching the winter solstice.

As for me, I still didn't know how to start talking about leaving. Every day when Yang Liang talked to me, he would always avoid this topic and take care of me so many times that I had no way to speak.

I knew, of course, that he was doing everything he could to keep me, and that I really had no good place to go, so I had to drag it on.

Today, the weather was sunny. Lin Feng excitedly said that he was going to take a look at the sea.

"I grew up in the interior. This is my first time being so close to the sea, so I naturally have to go take a look. If I can catch a few seashells and other items, I'll be able to travel back and forth from the capital. Qingcheng, why don't you accompany me? "

Lin Feng was talking like a child for the entire morning. Qingcheng felt helpless and could only cast a glance at Yang Liang.

I know that if Yang Liang hadn't gone, Qingcheng definitely wouldn't have gone, which in turn swept away Lin Feng's interest.

As for Yang Liang, I glanced at him. He didn't have any interest in the sea. As long as he was with me, he wouldn't go if I didn't go.

After some thought, I also felt some yearning towards the boundless sea, so I answered:

"In the past few days, the snow has just melted and the road is ready to go. Like Lin Feng, I also want to see the sea. I wonder if Great Hero Lin Feng can also bring me along?"

Lin Feng was looking worriedly at Mo Qingcheng, afraid that she wouldn't go. Seeing me say this, he said,

"If big sister Xiao wants to go, Qingcheng and I will definitely be happy."

Upon seeing this, Qingcheng could only nod her head. She knew in her heart that if she went, Yang Ke would definitely follow her as well.

Thus, the group of four brought some rations and headed to the beach.

Along the way, although there were withered yellow trees and grasses everywhere, as if everything had stopped growing. However, in the warm and wet soil after the melting of the snow, there were slight imperceptible sprouts. They seemed to be accumulating energy and waiting for the arrival of spring before they would flourish and grow.

It was a season for recuperation.

As Qingcheng and I are both weak women, we couldn't compare to Yang Liang and Lin Feng's Qing Gong, so we stopped and walked. Even though Lin Feng was anxious, he still had to wait for us until noon before we arrived at the beach. Lin Feng cried out in alarm and dashed towards the beach. As for me and Qingcheng, we were panting from exhaustion. We found a clean bluestone and sat down to rest.

A cold sea breeze blew by, and I quickly wrapped up the cotton garment. Qingcheng was just like me, waiting for her breath to calm down before we headed to the beach.

Only Yang Liang was talking to a few fishermen from a distance. Although we didn't know what they were talking about, they had already been conquered by the beautiful sea, so we didn't pay much attention to them.

Despite the cold, the sea wasn't as frozen as I'd expected, but waves were still crashing down into the sea, and the white foam, in the warm winter sun, shone with a white light as it rolled down to the beach and then returned to the sea, leaving only the rippling waves behind.

After playing like this for half a day, the four of them were fully satisfied. Although Qingcheng's face was flushed by the sea breeze, she still excitedly said:

"I didn't expect the sea to be so beautiful in winter. How is this place filled with cold and bitterness? In my opinion, it should be a paradise on earth."

After he finished speaking, he even glanced at Yang Liang.

"Finally, I have opened my eyes. When I return to the capital, I will definitely have some hopes and dreams." Lin Feng picked up a lot of spiral shells and held them in his arms like they were treasures.

The three of us were talking and laughing, but we didn't feel tired. Only Yang Liang, on the way here, was full of worries, but he held his tongue.

I only thought that he was thinking about what he wanted me to leave behind, so he didn't dare to ask further.

Due to the exhaustion of the day, we slept deeply that night, until late in the morning, when we woke up, we had always been this drowsy lately.

As for Qingcheng, she had already gotten up and prepared breakfast. Seeing me wake up, she said:

"Young Master Yang left early in the morning. Does big sister Xiao know what he wants to do? "

I shook my head and said that I didn't know. Just as I was puzzled, Yang Liang came back looking full of energy and vitality, as if there was a happy occasion. The moment I entered the door, I smiled and said:

"Yesterday, I heard an interesting story on the beach. Today, I went to that little fishing village to inquire about it. Do you want to hear about it from me?"

Qingcheng glared at him and said:

"Young master, there's no need to keep us in suspense. We've been bored here all day. If there's anything interesting, hurry up and tell us. Let big sister Xiao and I have some fun too."

Yang Liang looked at me with a smile on his face, and I was puzzled. Could this anecdote have something to do with me? That's unlikely?

"I'm hungry. Let me fill my stomach first before I explain in detail." Yang Liang was really trying to be suspenseful.

After dinner, Qingcheng and I waited for Yang Liang to tell anecdotes. Even Lin Feng, who had always been at odds with Yang Liang, refused to leave. Everyone had a curious heart.

Yang Liang faintly smiled as he looked at me and said:

Yesterday I heard some fishermen talking on the beach, so I went over to ask them about it. They said that six months ago, there was a fishing boat in their village that had yet to return from the fishing industry. The villagers all thought that it was a great wave or a pirate, and I'm afraid the worst of it. For this reason, the relatives of the fishermen even built a memorial for them.

Just as we were listening with rapt attention, Lin Feng could not help but coldly snort and say with disdain,

"Fishing in the sea, overturning ships is a lot of stuff. What's so special about that?"

Although he said that, he was unwilling to leave. It was likely that he was just being stubborn, but deep down, he was very curious. After all, Yang Liang's expression was very different from before.

Yang Liang ignored him and continued,

Unexpectedly, the fishermen from the previous day actually returned, and they were completely unharmed. After half a year, they safely returned, and the villagers around the area were all discussing this matter. They said that the Sea Goddess appeared out of nowhere, but I found it hard to believe.

"So, I went to look for the people on the boat this morning. According to them, a strong wind blew them to an Immortal Island, and there are actually quite a few villages on the island. The villagers warmly welcomed them, and only returned after they built a new ship."

After Yang Liang finished speaking, his face still showed traces of uncontrollable excitement.

Qingcheng said, "It is indeed a strange story. I didn't know that there are people living in the sea? Then wouldn't the islands on the sea be flooded by the rising tide? "

I also felt that it was very strange, but there were many strange things in the world. This kind of thing originally meant nothing, but I didn't know why Yang Liang, who was always indifferent to foreign affairs, was so happy.

"I've already asked about this. The fisherman said that the island is very big, and is probably comparable to the Eastern Le Country. The villagers there have lived there for over a hundred years and have never been flooded." Yang Liang Yan said.

When Lin Feng heard this, his expression became somewhat fascinated. After all, in such an endless ocean, there was actually a human living here. It was truly inconceivable.

I fixed my gaze on Yang Liang. There was a hint of happiness hidden in his expression, but at the same time, there was worry. It was as though he also yearned for that small island in the sea.

Do the fishermen remember the way back?" If there is a chance, we can go to the Immortal Island and have a quick trip! " He had always been a very playful person, so when he heard of such a fun place, he naturally wanted to take a look.

Yang Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Feng. He was in complete agreement.

"That's exactly what I meant. I wonder what Lady Lil 'Er and Lady Qingcheng's thoughts are?"

Qingcheng looked at me and said, "Qingcheng will definitely follow wherever Young Noble goes. If there really is such a good point, big sister Xiao will definitely be willing to go as well, right?"

I looked at Yang Liang, but didn't say anything. There was always a faint sense of unease in my heart.
