As the saying goes, "marrying a chicken and following a chicken", the two of them are grasshoppers tied together, and only when the six princes fly to the top will her life in the future be better.

So when Nangong Yi put forward the conditions, although she hated Lin Jue, she still agreed.

In fact, there was another reason, Nangong Yi used brute force, and under the circumstances at that time, she and Ling Mo could only nod and agree in order to save their lives.

"The play has already been played, you'd better not pretend to be smart and make too many moves, otherwise, you won't know how to die when the time comes."

Li Aoshan saw Lin Jue bowing his head and was silent and did not speak, and threatened.

"You don't have to teach me that."

Lin Jue raised his head and said lightly.

She wasn't angry, she just felt inexplicably sad.

Nangong Yi's promise to Li Aoshan is definitely not an easy thing. can make this Li Aoshan and Ling Mo both tempted, maybe the content of the promise is that position. He helped Ling Mo sit in that seat, and in exchange, he only needed Li Aoshan to come forward to restore her Lin Jue's innocence.

Is it worth it?

It's not worth it at all.

But Nangong Yi still did it.

Even if Lin Jue didn't speculate, she could understand what Emperor Zhaoyang meant, in fact, that unique position was reserved for Nangong Yi, right? And he, for her sake, gave up everything that was about to belong to him very easily, and gave up everything...... Just for her?

For the first time in her life, Lin Jue deeply hated her own uselessness, she was the most useless existence to Nangong Yi in this world.

Just when Lin Jue was full of pain, the emperor's holy decree came, asking her to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall immediately to face the saint.

When Lin Jue arrived, Emperor Zhaoyang was already waiting there, and the Heart Cultivation Hall was empty, and he was the only one.

"Do you know why I called you in?"

As soon as he saw her, Emperor Zhaoyang said straight to the point.

Lin Jue shook his head.

Of course, she didn't know why the emperor had announced her here.

"Nangong has already gone to the Lin family to propose marriage, you can leave the palace directly later. The marriage date has been set, and if you stay in the palace, you will not be in a proper manner. ”

Lin Jue nodded.

But I wondered a little in my heart, could it be that Emperor Zhaoyang announced her just to explain this? This kind of thing, just let a little eunuch tell her about it. Why do you want to let her come to the saint in person, and then say it yourself?

"What do you think of Nangong Yi?"

Emperor Zhaoyang asked again.

"He's good, and for me, there's no one in the world like him."

Lin Jue blurted out.

"Yes, he's fine." , Emperor Zhaoyang followed Lin Jue's words and said, "He is not only very good, but also very good, unrivaled martial arts, incomparable talent......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Zhaoyang's gaze fell on Lin Jue's body, with an inexplicable sense of oppression, "But all of these, all his advantages, will disappear the moment he marries you." In the future, he will just waste his time on you and spend his time with you! ”

As if he had been poked somewhere in his heart, Lin Jue shook his whole body.

"And that's not all." , Emperor Zhaoyang continued to look at her and said, "He is an ambitious person. This can be seen from the fact that he was alone in the army back then. You're sure he won't get bored of doing nothing with you all year round, but opportunities never come back to him, and even then, if he wants to do something, it's too late—"

"The most important thing is that if I leave this position, no matter who sits on it in the future, even if he doesn't fight, can the other party let him go? Do you think he will save his life by bowing down to his vassals? ”

Nangong Yi's existence is a great threat to any new emperor. Even if this threat is not in the court, it is still a threat to them. The only thing that can make the new emperors sleep peacefully is to get rid of him completely.

Nangong Yi actually has no way out now, and the best way out is to sit in that position by himself. Only in this way will he be able to live a relatively peaceful life. And marrying Lin Jue is the biggest obstacle and failure for him to sit in this position.

Lin Jue listened quietly.

She understood what Emperor Zhaoyang meant. The other party's meaning is very clear, marrying her, Nangong Yi's life in the future will only get worse and not better. According to Emperor Zhaoyang's plan, Nangong Yi could have been the Ninth Five-Year Honor, enjoying the worship and respect of tens of thousands of people, instead of accompanying her every day to do nothing and waste her time.

And all these reasons, the deepest reason, there is only one, she is not worthy of Nangong Yi, Nangong Yi wants to marry her, so she can only give up that position.

"He deserves more and better things, and the person who has been with him all his life shouldn't be your ......"

Emperor Zhaoyang continued, Lin Jue stood quietly in place, she knew what the emperor said, but she wanted her to give up Nangong Yi like this......

"You can't be too selfish." , Emperor Zhaoyang looked at her, "I don't doubt your sincerity, maybe now you think it's okay to just marry him, but is this really the case?" Maybe you've never thought about how much he has to give up for your sincerity......"

Lin Jue couldn't remember exactly how she got out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, nor how she got out of the palace, she was like a walking corpse, her mind was full of Emperor Zhaoyang's voice, she couldn't think at all, and only relied on instinct and intuition to move forward step by step.

There seemed to be people greeting her, people congratulating her, and even other voices, but she couldn't really hear them, she only remembered that she had to go forward, she had to leave this place.

As for where she is going, she doesn't know, in fact, after leaving Nangong Yi, what does it matter if she is dead or alive, happy or sad? What does it matter where you go without him?

In early autumn, the weather is unpredictable, and the sun is shining brightly, but in the blink of an eye, it begins to rain heavily.

Lin Jue didn't bring an umbrella, she didn't bring anything.

The pedestrians around her began to run to avoid the rain, walking in the rain, passing by these people who were in a hurry to take shelter from the rain, she was like an empty shell that had been stripped of her soul, and there was nothing in it.

Emperor Zhaoyang was right.

Her marriage to Nangong Yi is indeed a drag on him.

He deserves something better, not mediocre and wasting his time with her. Throne, power, beauty, status...... As long as she leaves him, all of this will be Nangong Yi's. The emperor is right, Nangong Yi can give up everything for her, but she can't be so selfish when she goes, many times, caring about a person doesn't necessarily mean that she has to grow old, as long as she watches him live well, it's enough.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the huge droplets of water hit Lin Jue's face and body, and there was a painful stinging sensation. She suddenly became very sober, unprecedentedly calm, in front of Xizhi Gate, out of Xizhi Gate, there is an official road connecting the north and south, no matter which direction she chooses, she can leave here.

In fact, she didn't know where she should go, maybe she should go to the northwest, where there are memories of her and Nangong Yi, or go to the south, go to a place without him and start over?

*

"Congratulations...... After tossing for so long, you finally got your wish and married my second sister. ”

In the courtyard of the Lin family, Lin Qiong looked at Nangong Yi who came to propose marriage and said with a smile.

He and Lin Jue have experienced so many things, and now they can be regarded as bitter. Sometimes the arduous process is not terrible, but what I am afraid of is that after surviving the arduous process, there is no end to the positive result of cultivation, for example, he and ...... Nine Princesses.

"Where's your second sister?" , Nangong Yi said, looked around, and asked, "She didn't come back?" ”

Seeing him like this, Lin Qiong couldn't help but smile even more, "I said that you really don't understand the amorous feelings, tomorrow is the big wedding, even if my second sister comes back, can she come out to see you now?" ”

"And she's back?"

Nangong Yi directly grasped the point of the latter sentence.

Lin Qiong was helpless, "She hasn't come back yet."

Well, he really didn't think that the famous General Nangong would still have such a "naïve and ignorant" side.

"Then I'll go to the palace to find her."

Nangong Yi looked at the rain that flowed into a small stream under the eaves, and felt a little uneasy in her heart. It's raining so hard, and I don't know if Ah Jue has an umbrella, so it's not good if she gets sick.

was just about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Qiong, "Eh, I said brother-in-law, do you know what day tomorrow is?" The two of you can't see each other until you're married. It's just one night, and it's over after a while. ”

"Is this custom observed?" Nangong Yi was puzzled.

Lin Qiong nodded, "It's best to comply." ”

Okay, Nangong Yi is a little helpless, so he won't go to Lin Jue first. I don't know why, since just now, he has inexplicably felt a burst of panic, is it because he is about to get married, so he is nervous?

Thinking of this, Nangong Yi was depressed for a while.

God, I hope he won't be so nervous tomorrow, otherwise, Lin Jue will see that this stalk is estimated to be laughed at by her for a lifetime, right?

The General's Mansion has long been full of lights and is very lively.

After returning to her residence, Nangong Yi was still extremely uneasy. I always feel like something is missing.

Such an abnormal panic seems to have surpassed ordinary nervousness, right? Judging from the current situation, everything is normal, there is nothing else, his marriage with Lin Jue has also been confirmed, and Ling Mo and the fourth prince have also stabilized for the time being, according to this, he should feel at ease, but why is he so panicked? Inexplicable, panic for no reason.

The last time he panicked was a few years ago.

At that time, Lin Jue was kidnapped by Yuanweihou's people, life and death were uncertain, he searched all the places, but he couldn't find her. At that time, it was the first time he was so flustered.

Nangong Yi paced back and forth quickly in the study, and finally, he called Liu Man in.

Based on the number of etiquette, he couldn't go to Lin Jue in person, but Liu Man could.

Today's Liu Man, although he is no longer the deputy general Liu who followed his ass closely, but his position has changed, but his temperament and habits have not changed. In addition, if he is used to it, if there is anything, Nangong Yi also likes to tell him to do it.

"Then I'll go to the palace and have a look."

Liu Man immediately saw Nangong Yi's worries.

He doesn't seem to have seen Qinghe's girl for a long time, and he takes the opportunity to find Lin Jue this time, maybe he can meet him.

After Liu Man left, Nangong Yi began to panic again.

In other words, he never stopped in a panic, thought about it, and was about to go out to confirm it again when Liu Man came back.

"How?"

Nangong Yi asked.

Now he doesn't care about anyone, he only cares about Lin Jue, if Lin Jue is fine, he should be able to rest assured.

But Liu Man's words disappointed him.

"Nope." , he said lightly. "Boss, I went to the palace, but I didn't find Miss Lin, and then I went to Lin's house, and Lin Qiong said that Miss Lin hadn't gone back yet."

"What about the road? Did you see it along the way? ”

"I have already paid attention to the surrounding secret guards, according to the information that came to him, His Majesty had announced that Miss Lin had come to see her, and later it seemed that someone saw Miss Lin out of the palace. After that, there were no clues......"

As soon as Liu Man's words were finished, Nangong Yi rushed out directly.

"Huh! Boss, it's raining heavily, you bring an umbrella—"

Outside, the water mist was vast, and Nangong Yi's figure disappeared into the dense rain curtain. Liu Man stood under the eaves, looking at the figure that had disappeared from sight, and his heart couldn't help sinking, God, the two of them had finally come to this point, I hope nothing will go wrong.

*

When Nangong Yi rushed into the imperial study, Emperor Zhaoyang was talking to the four princes about the mythical beasts in the ancient books, and was startled when he saw Nangong Yi rushing in with water all over his body, but in view of the fact that the four princes were next to him, he didn't care too much, so he just asked, "General Nangong, did you just get it from the river?" ”

The fourth prince was also a little surprised and said, "Is it raining outside?" General Nangong doesn't seem to have an umbrella. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the eunuch waiting next to him, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and get something for General Nangong to wipe it." ”

Emperor Zhaoyang was appreciative of the four princes' thoughtful and interesting actions, so the expression on his face also stretched a little, looked at Nangong Yi, and said, "If there is anything, wipe the water on your body first." ”

He probably knew what Nangong Yi was here for. This was also in his expectation, but anyway, he had already made it clear to Lin Jue that if Lin Jue really cared about Nangong Yi as she said, she would listen to those words, and then leave Nangong Yi.

Maybe she's out of town by now.

"What did you say to Jue?"

Nangong Yi asked expressionlessly. The voice was not loud, but every word that could be said seemed to be frozen.

"You're going to question me?"

Emperor Zhaoyang frowned and smiled.

The four princes watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help frowning. This Nangong Yi is too unpredictable, right? No matter what his identity is, he should not speak to the emperor in such a tone, the other party is the emperor, the supreme king of a country, and the head is in his hands.

He admitted that Lin Jue was born very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful a woman is, it is not as important as her life and future! For the sake of a woman, she treated the emperor with such an attitude, Nangong Yi's brain was broken by the door?!!

"You know it yourself."

Nangong Yi's tone was still light.

But his attitude has not improved at all, and he has no intention of backing down.

"General Nangong, there's something wrong with what you're saying, right?"

The four princes couldn't stand it.

He had to open his mouth and save some face for Emperor Zhaoyang.

In fact, he could see that the emperor's anger had risen, and at this time, it was a good time for him to play.

"Forget it."

Nangong Yi glanced at Emperor Zhaoyang, and without waiting for him to answer, he turned around and left directly.

He should have expected it a long time ago, how could the emperor agree to his request so easily, it was he naïve.

"Father, he's too ......"

Looking at Nangong Yi's back, the fourth prince said in disbelief.

Even if you have the power of the army, this is too blind, right?

"It's me who owes him ...... first", Emperor Zhaoyang lowered his head slightly, hiding the loneliness in his eyes.

What should have come has come in the end.

No matter how unwilling he was, Nangong Yi finally took the same old path as him. The love between children and daughters is long, and the hero's breath is short, he couldn't dodge it back then, and Nangong Yi can't dodge it now.

Is such a similar reincarnation fortunate or unlucky?

Emperor Zhaoyang's unintentional words made the four princes tremble when they heard it. It seems that the rumors outside may be true, and Nangong Yi's identity should not be underestimated.

But in the northwest before, he spent so much effort, almost in the posture of laying a net of heaven and earth, but he failed to kill him, and now, when he has recovered his military power, it is even more difficult to deal with him.

If you want to kill him, the only chance is to start with Lin Jue.

Perhaps, the emperor's move this time can be an introduction to his plan.

*

It's getting dark, but the rain is getting lighter. There seems to be a tendency to stop.

Lin Jue bought a horse, walking in the market with one person and one horse, and there was a white mist in front of her, and she suddenly felt unprecedented despair.

She should cheer up.

Even if she leaves Nangong Yi, she has to live well, only by living can she know more news about him, whether he is doing well or not, and only then can she know...... In the end, who will be with him all his life and accompany him to old age.

Today, let her vent her decadence again.

Let's cheer up from tomorrow, right?

Lin Jue thought so.

So she continued to walk aimlessly in the rain, letting the rain hit her body, face, and even heart......

If she had followed the established route, she would have been out of the city by now, but thinking that she might never return here again in the future, Lin Jue suddenly wanted to take another look at Kyoto, to see the place where the two of them had lived.

Turning the horse's head and taking it away to the center of Yuejing City, Lin Jue couldn't help but stop when he passed the "Fulu Building" on the side of the street.

The colorful flags hanging on the second floor are still fluttering in the wind, the lobby is still crowded with tea customers, and the storyteller is still spitting and dancing and telling all kinds of anecdotes. Lin Jue's gaze walked through the lobby and climbed the stairs, and she seemed to see that in the box on the second floor, a young girl was poking her head out of the window and staring at the marching procession from far and near.

Nangong Yi was in the team, and it was the first time he had left Kyoto to go to the Red River to fight against the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

"Girl, come in and sit down, our white peony here is particularly outstanding, and you are reluctant to leave after drinking it."

The shopkeeper saw that Lin Jue had been stopping at the door on a horse, so he began to greet him warmly.

Shaking his head, Lin Jue continued to walk forward.

I didn't go far before another teahouse came into view.

For the first time, Lin Jue felt that there were so many teahouses in Yuejing.

This teahouse, Lin Jue also remembers. This is the last time she met Situ Yan, the Five Princes and others on the street, and then met to drink tea.

The teahouse is not big, but it is still full of people. Sitting on horseback and looking up, you can vaguely see the faintly scattered heads on the second floor.

On the counter in the lobby of the teahouse, a young man in a navy blue robe was checking out, Lin Jue also remembered that it was Nangong Yi who helped them settle the bill, such an indifferent and unsmiling person, standing in front of the counter, his expression was absolutely stiff.

Thinking like this, Lin Jue felt a little funny again.

It was getting late, but Lin Jue was not hungry at all, she still remembered the mood when she first met Nangong Yi that year, at that time, due to her confusion in memory, she thought that the other party was the assassin who chased her in her previous life, and she wanted to kill him.

She did the same, but she couldn't kill him.

Back then, where could she have thought that the relationship between her and Nangong Yi would evolve into what it is now? If she could have expected it in the morning, would she continue?

The answer, for her nowadays, doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Time passed, as if nothing had changed, and as if nothing had changed.

Riding on horseback, walking leisurely, I looked up suddenly, and I saw the familiar gate and stone lions.

- Unknowingly, she actually walked to the front of the general's mansion.

Everything in the General's Mansion has not changed, and the guards at the door are still the two fierce-looking guards. The surroundings were very quiet, but through the vermilion gate, she seemed to see Nangong Yi practicing martial arts in the courtyard, sword flowers flying, crazy and orderly, there was a rush of soldiers around, and the indifferent young man had no waves on his face.

Standing under the big tree, Lin Jue was suddenly a little reluctant to leave here.

The gate of the General's Mansion was locked, and it seemed that Nangong Yi had not come back yet. After staring at the vermilion door for a long time, Lin Jue seemed to see Nangong Yi busy in the study.

The alley in front of the General's Mansion is so long that there is no end in sight. Lin Jue rode on the horse and walked slowly. There are many contradictions in my heart, I want to keep time, but I don't want to waste time anymore.

She believed that even if she was gone, Nangong Yi would live well.

The pain in his heart will eventually be healed by time, and she will gradually become an indescribable vague shadow in his heart.

For this, Lin Jue didn't want to ask for too much, even if even the shadow was wiped out in the end, it didn't matter, as long as Nangong Yi could live well, it would be enough. Otherwise, what's the point of her leaving?

She remembered that at that time, Nangong Yi had not yet joined the army, and she was still her father's apprentice, and she had a stiff face every day. Such an expression made Lin Jue want to beat him up very much every time he saw him. It's a pity that Lin Taibu at that time, almost without exception, was on Nangong Yi's side, and every time he had something, he called her over to train her. (To be continued.) )
