Chapter Twenty-Seven: Confession from the Heart
After Lian Yun left from Hope, he took Wu Liang to see Bai Yu. At this moment, Bai Yu and Zhuo Ying were practicing swords in the garden of the mansion. When they saw Lian Yun coming, they stopped their movements and stopped to look at Lian Yun.
"Feng'er, your body still needs to rest more, what kind of sword do you practice? Also, Zhuo Ying, you are really, you are also the lord of a city, what kind of coaxing with young people. Feng'er is not sensible, are you not sensible?" Lian Yun said with a slight reproach.
"Uncle Lian Yun, although your seniority is higher than mine, don't look at how old General Bai Yu is, but we are all young people, so we will learn from each other, and there will be no mess. By the way, aren't you going back to Sanchuan City? Why did you come back so soon, where did this friend next to you come from, you might as well introduce me and let me get to know him,......" Zhuo Ying turned around and said to the two of them, without the slightest intention of leaving.
Looking at Zhuo Ying beside him, Bai Yu put down his sword, turned back to Lian Yun and said, "Father, what are you looking for me?"
Lian Yunyan said: "The marriage has been decided, and the marriage contract is here, you can take a look." This marriage contract is drawn up by this Mr. Wu Liang next to me, and this Mr. Wu Liang is Mr. Wu Guzi's apprentice, Mr. Wu Guzi once assisted the old emperor to achieve great causes, Mr. Wu Liang also has some talent, he was ordered by the teacher, and took the initiative to come to the door to find you, just now the two of us were on the way here, he mentioned to me that he can help you get the dragon vein and awaken the dragon soul. I've brought him over now, so you might as well talk to him. ”
Remembering the dragon head rune on his chest, "Mr. Wu Liang, can you help me find the dragon vein and awaken the dragon soul?" Bai Yu sneered, he thought that there were more versions of the folklore of finding the dragon vein and awakening the dragon soul, guessing that this person might be hearsay, and came here to cheat and cheat.
"The lord doesn't believe in my sincerity? When the old thief is in charge today, bandits are rampant everywhere, and the people are not able to make a living. At a time when this situation is still unclear, I am not afraid of hardships and dangers, and I am not afraid of cold eyebrows and come to take refuge at present, I wish you to achieve the imperial cause, do you not trust me?" Wu Liang smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"Mr. Wu Liang was kind, and Bai Yu understood it. It's just that Mr. Shicai also said, the situation is uncertain today, how can I conclude that I am the future emperor of the empire, and not others?" Bai Yu thought for a moment and said without thinking.
"If you want to awaken the dragon soul, you only need to make a knife at the dragon head rune, and pour the dragon vein with fresh blood and the queen's tears, if it is a benevolent monarch, it is not difficult to awaken the dragon vein. And to distinguish the real monarch, in addition to the dragon head rune, there is also a way. You hold the blue-blooded sword in your hand high, and under the illumination of the light, a ray of light will shine on the sword-wielder's body, and as far as the light can reach, you can hear a dragon groan, which is from the heart, the power of the dragon's soul to remain in the world.
Then, under the guidance of Wu Liang, Bai Yu raised the blue blood sword and accepted the sunlight, only to see a dazzling light hit Bai Yu's body. Lian Yun and Wu Liang stood next to them and watched and listened carefully, although there was a slow sound of recovery, it was not obvious. Soon the moan sounded in their ears again, and this time, it was much clearer. It was supposed to be the sound of a beast, but it was different from the roar of a lion and a tiger, but it was deeper, longer, and more terrifying. Listening to the sound of groaning, the two of them seemed to be able to vaguely see a golden bar of light churning slowly and powerfully, which was a little dazzling, and the two had to close their eyes.
After a while, after some adaptation to this rhythm, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time to look at Bai Yu, and they saw that Bai Yu's body was wrapped around one or two golden dragons! This golden dragon was covered with scales, had sideburns on its back, had nine claws, had a head like a horse, a mouth like a crocodile, a tail like a phoenix, a head with sharp horns, and clear eyes, revealing sacredness and majesty. The two saw it clearly, and Lian Yun was even more dumbfounded.
"Dragon...... It is a golden dragon, and the golden dragon is the power of the dragon soul that remains in the world, and under the guidance of this golden dragon, you will definitely be able to find the dragon vein smoothly. Lord, you should believe me, right?" Wu Liang was also obviously surprised, but quickly regained his composure and said to Bai Yu.
"Mr. is such a strange person, I misunderstood Mr., Bai Yu apologized to Mr. Wu Liang!" Bai Yu lamented the changes that had happened to him just now, and also realized that his arrogance had almost lost a talent. Therefore, he bowed to Wu Liang and apologized.
After a while, the golden dragon slowly disappeared.
At the same time, he pulled Wu Liang again and motioned for him to sit down. "I want to worship Mr. as a military advisor, please give me more advice in the future. I have no power and no power now, and I can't give it to Mr. High-ranking officials, if I can help me dominate Deep Blue in the future, after I succeed, I will be grateful!"
"The villain Wu Liang does not seek high-ranking officials, but seeks to make meritorious contributions and leave a name in history to comfort his long-cherished wishes. Wu Liang said modestly.
In this way, the two chatted in the garden for most of the day, without feeling the passage of time at all.
And Zhuo Ying was also stunned when he watched it from the sidelines, he thought to himself, the young master is really the person chosen by God, maybe he is really a person worthy of his follow. Seeing that Bai Yu and Wu Liang were talking happily, he said goodbye first, and it happened that Shuyun also came to the city lord, and the two bumped into each other, but fortunately they were fine. It turned out that Shuyun was worried that Bai Yu's body had not yet recovered, so she asked people to buy a chicken and make chicken soup to replenish his body. After it was done, he hurriedly brought Baili City to give Bai Yu a taste.
Seeing that the two accidentally bumped into each other, Shuyun pulled Zhuo Ying out of apology, and wanted to invite him to drink chicken soup together. By the way, I asked him about the trace of the white feather.
Before coming, while cooking chicken soup, Shuyun forced Haichao to ask him and Pan to explain the reason why Bai Yu was so affectionate to Luo Rui. Haichao thought that Shuyun was about to become his sister-in-law, so he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to say it all.
After a while, a pot of chicken soup was already cooked, Shuyun scooped a spoonful of this chicken soup, and after trying the taste, she first made a bowl and distributed it to Haichao to show his reward. Immediately, he took a large cup and ran to Baili City to serve it to Bai Yu, who was talking to Wu Liang in the garden.
Zhuo Ying declined her kindness and told her that the two of them were still in the garden just now, and left. Who knows, at this time, because Bai Yu and Wu Liang chatted energetically, the two had a great feeling of hating each other, so they moved from the garden to the room. Shuyun couldn't find anyone in the garden, so she ran to the room. Wu Liang saw Shuyun's visit and felt that it was inconvenient to disturb the two, so he retired first.
"Hehe, this fortune teller is also interesting, but he can speak well. Shuyun muttered a few words, and immediately put the chicken soup on the table.
Bai Yu picked up a notebook, leaned on the bed and looked at the content on it, what he saw was nothing else, it was Wu Liang's unification strategy and management suggestions for the empire that Wu Liang had dedicated to him.
"I'm here to see you, before I came, I made some chicken soup, drink the soup while it's hot, you have to take care of your body quickly, I'm still waiting for you to marry me!" Shuyun said.
"Well, let's change it", Bai Yu put down the notebook and remained silent, while Shuyun sat on the side and was busy for a while. After a while, a bowl full of chicken soup was beaten, and a large chicken leg was placed in the bowl.
"Okay, let's drink the soup, the wound on your hand hasn't healed yet, let me feed you," he said, picking up the spoon and feeding Bai Yu soup.
Bai Yu twisted his head, indicating that he didn't want others to feed him. "A few days ago, I fainted due to excessive physical exertion, and now I'm almost fine, how can I still trouble you, I'll just drink it myself!" Bai Yu hurriedly spoke.
In the face of Shuyun's enthusiasm and diligence, Bai Yu also had a guess in his heart, knowing that this girl liked herself, but after all, she didn't have her in her heart, and marrying her was also needed by the development of the situation, and she had to be sorry for Luo Rui. How should she respond to the personal feelings of her children in Shuyun's heart? Besides, she will soon have to look for the dragon vein, what should she do if she dies in the wild? After thinking about it, Bai Yu simply continued to pretend not to understand and perfunctory.
"Alas, how can you not be so good at it, your kindness is not reciprocated, and I don't necessarily care so much if you are someone else?" Shuyun complained angrily.
Perhaps, Shuyun is still young, and she really doesn't understand what love is, and she can't enter Bai Yu's heart, and Bai Yu can't understand the slightest affection she wants to express in her heart.
After resting for a few more days, Bai Yu's spirit was completely recovered, and he changed into his original outfit and prepared to return to the camp.
Bai Yu made the bed and cleaned up the room, then turned around and prepared to go out. But at this moment, Shuyun ran in quickly with red eyes, and just as Bai Yu was about to ask, her body threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
This sudden move made him not know whether to break free or hug her for a while, refuse her, in case something bad and hurt the two families, he would be very sad in his heart, and she would probably be very sad. At this moment, he could clearly feel her body trembling and crying. He can be in danger and plan properly in the face of major events, but in the face of her, he can't even say a simple refusal.
But don't you refuse, do you want to embrace her in your arms? Wouldn't you want to tell her that you have accepted her, which means that you have completely betrayed Luo Rui, how sad will Luo Rui be? All along, it is precisely because of the concern for Luo Rui in her heart that it is difficult to tolerate a second woman. If he accepts her in his heart, it is equivalent to telling everyone that he is a man who is in the twilight, and this will also make him lose the courage to face Luo Rui alone.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Yu finally asked.
Shuyun didn't speak for a long time, but she was already crying close to his chest, and she hugged him tightly, Bai Yu pretended to be confused and said: "Is it someone who bullied you, tell me, I'm going to clean him up now"!
"You know... Why pretend to be confused, who bullies me, who else can there be? It's you, it's you, it's you. Don't you know what I want about you? From the night I was in the wine shop, I found out that I like you, I love you, and I don't want to deceive myself anymore today!" Shuyun choked up.
"But..."
"But what? Is it because of her who is far away in Haimen? I know you love her, but this doesn't prevent me from loving you, nor does it prevent you from loving me......" Shuyun let go of Bai Yu and looked straight at her.
Looking at her with red eyes and tears on her face, Bai Yu's words as soon as he arrived in his mouth were suddenly choked and unable to speak, Qiao Miao said: "I don't believe you don't have any feelings for me, it's been so many days from Jiangshizhai to today, don't you understand my mind at all? I don't ask you for anything, I just hope that I can have a small, small place in your heart." I can feel that you obviously have feelings for me, but you want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and you want to use Luo Rui as an excuse not to accept me, what do you mean"?
Bai Yu said: "You think too much, you are a good girl, for me I am not worth it, I am a down-and-out royal family, follow me, you will suffer a lot in the future...
But at this moment, Shuyun took out a dagger placed on her waist, put it on her neck, and said loudly: "To tell you the truth, don't you have feelings for me? I can also take you to my boudoir to stay up all night in order to heal you. Even for you, I personally cooked chicken soup, and I asked others about your relationship with Luo Rui. No matter what I do, you are pretending to be deaf and dumb, and if you don't tell the truth today, I will die to show you"!
"You put down that dagger quickly, and have something to say!" Bai Yu said hurriedly.
"Tell me the truth, what are you afraid of? Is it because of my family background? Or do you dislike me as the daughter of an official eunuch?" Shuyun asked.
He never thought that Shuyun was a woman who was so strong, seeing that the dagger had begun to pierce blood, if he didn't give her a satisfactory answer today, if she died, he would regret it, and he would be sorry for hope, and sorry for everyone. He said: "You are a good girl, on the one hand, Rui'er and I are really in love with each other, and we can't bear to lose each other. Also, I don't want to drag you down, I have arranged things in the army, and I want to go with Mr. Wu Liang to find the dragon vein, this trip is dangerous, I am worried that if I don't come back, you will become a widow. ”
"I'm not afraid, if you die, I'll die with you, why am I willing to go north with the army, today I'll tell you, I already liked you when I was in the wine shop, and that day I was infected by your kindness and assimilated by you. However, for all this time, you have been avoiding me like a plague god, and I thought that time could dilute all this, but the more time passed, the more I found that I loved me more deeply. Everything I do, it's for you!"
"I know, I know, you put the dagger down quickly, you have something to say". Bai Yu said urgently.
"I don't, I'll finish talking today, but what about you? If I don't make it clear now, you'll keep avoiding me. Before, no matter how I hinted at you, you refused, and you agreed to marry me, just for the world, right?!" Shuyun said excitedly.
"Why are you doing this? I admit it's for the Empire, but I'm also doing it for your good." Bai Yu said urgently.
"For my good? I don't need you to be good for me, just tell me, can you leave me a small place in my heart, and are you willing to marry me sincerely?" Shuyun cried.
Seeing that her emotions were getting more and more excited, the strength in her hands unconsciously increased, if she was not careful, I was afraid that it would be...
"Yes! I admit that I have been touched by you for a long time, but I have a problem in my heart, and the knot in my heart has not been untied, I'm sorry!" Bai Yu said.
At this time, the dagger in Shuyun's hand was finally released, and with a "clang", the dagger fell to the ground. "It turns out that you really don't like me because of Luo Rui. ”
Bai Yu hurriedly held Shuyun's hands who had lost her mind, and said: "I am willing to marry you, it is my great luck to be able to be liked and liked by you, but emotional matters still need some time to cultivate, don't they?"
"Well, since you agreed, and the marriage contract was signed not long ago, let's get married. After getting married, I'll accompany you to find the dragon vein!" Shuyun said violently.
