I stayed in Luohe City for three days, and Jiang Cai came to look for me.

Seeing her, my feelings were a little complicated, more of a guilt.

I thought that in my life, as Xu Jingrong, I was happy and angry, and I never owed anyone anything.

Even back then, when I was pierced by ten thousand swords and died on Kunlun Mountain, I swore that the people of the world owed me.

But now, looking back, I have always owed someone else.

Whether it's Li Dongyang or Jiang Cai, I never thought that in the time I didn't know, there were still people who paid their lives for me.

Jiang Cai sat opposite me, looked at me drunk, and said, "Young Master Yi." ”

As he spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and changed his words: "Perhaps, I should call you Miss Xu." ”

For a while, I didn't know what to say, so I could only apologize: "I was young and frivolous, and I missed the girl's life." ”

Jiang Cai shook her head, she turned her head to look at the center of Yuntai Pavilion, as if she could still see Yi Chulian in her heart from there.

She was indifferent, without the slightest look of remorse, but said: "I should thank Miss Xu for saving her life back then." ”

I couldn't help but say bitterly: "From now on, you don't have to wait for Yi Chulian anymore, he will ...... Won't be coming back. ”

Jiang Cai shook her head, she raised her face, looked at me, and asked, "Miss Xu, in your opinion, what do you like?" ”

She curled the corners of her lips and smiled lightly: "Although it is indeed shocking to know that Miss Xu is Yi Gongzi, but if Miss Xu asks now, I still want to say that to this day, I still like Yi Gongzi." ”

I opened my mouth, trying to persuade her, but suddenly remembered what Shen Xingshen had said to me before.

He asked me why Jiang Cai in Luohe City, since he knew that the person he asked for would not respond at all, why did he have to wait.

I also want to know the answer.

I asked, "Why?" ”

"Because...... I just like Yi Gongzi. ”

Jiang Cai's smile looked beautiful and sad in the sunset: "In my heart, there is no better person than Yi Gongzi, even Miss Xu, it is not as good as him, in the ten years of waiting for him, every day with expectations and dreams, even if I didn't wait for him after all, but I am still happy, because there was such a beautiful man who once appeared in my life, and this is enough." ”

She muttered to herself, "What is happiness as a woman?" ”

"Is it happiness to get married and have children, and have a full house of children and grandchildren?"

She shook her head and said: "Being with the person you like is happiness, even if you can't be together, you can maintain the mood of liking him, thinking back to the good things I once had with him, this alone is enough to make me feel happy for a lifetime." ”

So that's what liking is?

Then I, have I ever liked Li Dongyang in such a mood?

From now on, can you try to like him in this mood?

Thinking of the Liu girl in the capital, I thought, even if I could, I wouldn't be qualified.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Cai, I left Luohe City, planning to return to Kunlun Mountain, but unexpectedly Li Dongyang came to look for me.

At that time, I was walking on the path back to Kunlun Mountain, and not far away, there was a simple tea shed.

He was riding a horse, with a lot of people behind him, and when he saw me, he jumped off his horse and walked towards me step by step.

I didn't expect to meet him here, at this moment, shouldn't he be preparing for marriage with that Liu girl?

He paused in front of me and said, "I heard that you came to the capital to look for me. ”

I snorted, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Thinking back to the mood of wanting to see Li Dongyang before setting off from Kunlun, I was a little weak-hearted, and said slowly: "It's nothing." ”

Inevitably, he saw the clues, and said: "It's just boring, I just want to go out for a walk." ”

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and said, "I thought it would ...... You came to me on purpose. ”

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

can only lead the topic: "I heard that you are going to get married, congratulations, I have seen that girl, it is very good." ”

I don't want to hear anything about him, I don't want to know anything about him or anyone else, he doesn't belong to me anymore.

The next moment, I heard Li Dongyang say faintly: "Who told you that I am going to get married?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and saw him sigh slightly: "Because my father was seriously ill, at first someone proposed that I marry Chongxi, but I didn't agree. ”

I'm still stunned, a little overwhelmed.

I heard Li Dongyang say again: "That nonsense person, I have already transferred him to the backyard of the palace to clean the thatched house." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you do this? ”

Li Dongyang said confidently: "My daughter-in-law who has worked hard for ten years, he almost lost a few words for me, and it is already very lenient to punish him to clean the thatched house!" ”

"Li Dongyang."

I still couldn't believe what I was doing, and said, "You tell me what you just said again." ”

Li Dongyang could only reluctantly cooperate: "I didn't want to get married, I've been waiting for you to find me!" ”

The next words, before I could finish speaking, I couldn't wait to hug him.

I was wronged and sad for a long time, but I didn't know who to blame, so I could only choke up in the end: "I thought you didn't want me anymore." ”

Li Dongyang sighed slightly, reached out and touched my head: "How can I not want you, it has always been you who don't want me." ”

"I heard that you went to the capital to find me, and I heard that you came to Luohe City, so I rushed here non-stop, for fear of missing this opportunity, and you were cranky and pushed me away, so that I don't even have the qualifications to let you like it."

Li Dongyang said again: "You should know, apart from you, how can I marry someone else?" Since you misunderstood, why didn't you ask me? ”

I was speechless for a moment, so I could only ask, "How do I ask you?" ”

Li Dongyang laughed and said: "Hit our palace, point a sword at me, scold me for being a negative man, say I like you, why did you marry someone else." Then ......"

He paused, and then said, "Take me away so that I can't marry anyone?" ”

I was amused by him, and said, "I'm not that unreasonable." ”

"Ajing."

He called my name and said, "In the future, in front of me, you can be so unreasonable." ”

From the side of Luohe City, Li Dongyang turned back to the capital, Li Yuanzhen reversed, and there were many things waiting for him to do.

Tianheng Daozong betrayed the imperial court and chose to stand in Li Yuanzhen's camp, because of their rebellion, the whole river and lake were bloody, and I was worried that Liu Weiyang would not be able to support himself in the division, so he could only rush back.

In just a few months, I have changed from the demon who everyone shouts and kills on the rivers and lakes to the immortal venerable on Kunlun Mountain, while Bai Feizhen has changed from the sect master of the Tianheng Dao Sect above 10,000 people to a traitor who has been crusaded against by all parties.

The world has changed dramatically, which is really embarrassing.

Later, Bai Feizhen died, the Tianheng Dao Sect under his command fell apart, and Li Yuansong was also killed by Li Dongyang, and the world was settled from then on.

I went to the capital to look for Li Dongyang, but I heard people on the street everywhere talking about Li Dongyang's death.

I couldn't believe it, so I went to the palace to look for him again, only to see Li Dongyang's cold corpse.

The county lord of Wuyang told me that this was Li Dongyang's choice and wanted me to take him away, and before parting, the county lord gave me a bottle of medicine.

I took him to Luohe City with the boat, and Li Dongyang lay in the cabin, opened his eyes, and yawned lazily.

Surrounded by lotus leaves, a fisherwoman stood on the bow of the boat singing a distant ballad, and he called my name softly.

I asked Li Dongyang why he left in this way.

He said that because of the battle with Li Yuansong, the court and the central government set off a call for him to be the emperor, and he felt troublesome and could only make this decision.

Moreover, with my character, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in the capital, rather than let me stay in the capital to accompany him, it is better to let everyone think that he is dead, from then on, he is completely a cloth clothes, walking with me in the rivers and lakes, wandering the world.

Later, we returned to Xuanji Mountain and saw Master sleeping under a tree.

Hearing the commotion of our return, he angrily picked up a broom and beat us all over the mountains.

In March, the peach blossoms on the mountain bloomed brightly, just as we did when we left.

Nothing seems to have changed.
