Chapter 044: Broken Realm
"General Night has always disliked the exchange of letters, why is this exception? I have to take a closer look at what is worthy of him, an illiterate general, to repair his book and return to the imperial capital. ”
Shrouded in greenery, the loud laughter of Wen Jingyuan, the new emperor of the Great Abyss, came from the imperial study, opened the letterhead dictated by Ye Haochuan and ghostwritten by others, Wen Jingyuan glanced at ten lines and flew by, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, he Ye Haochuan, before he has made military achievements, he came to ask me for conditions, he is really spoiled by him!" ”
"General Night has made a condition? That's a rare thing. Huang Chu, the veteran who sent the letter, held his long beard and looked forward to it, "It's only been two months, and there shouldn't be a battle with the enemy over there, what kind of conditions did General Ye mention?" The emperor is quick to talk about it, the last general is really curious! ”
Wen Jingyuan casually put the letter on the bookcase, paced to the window with his hand, and snorted with interest: "He said that he helped the army doctor to relieve a local plague, not only saved dozens of villagers, but also avoided the infection of my Great Yao Expeditionary Army. ”
"That demon girl still knows how to heal? No wonder the first emperor was so obsessed with her, and he did have some ability. ”
"Her ability is just to tempt the first emperor, and now that the first emperor has died, what tricks can she toss?" Wen Jingyuan sneered, "General Huang, if you go back to repair the book for me, you will say that I have approved his request and asked him to send someone to escort Yan Liwu back to the imperial capital, and I will resend it as appropriate." ”
Huang Chu gasped: "The emperor really wants to recall that demon girl to the imperial capital?" This...... Let the civil and military officials know, I'm afraid it won't have much impact, right? ”
"What's good or bad? If General Night had mercy on her, he would naturally not have let her do coolie work to atone for her sins, wouldn't my will be a dead letter? Then it is better to recall the person and punish him separately. ”
Wen Jingyuan's reason was not convincing, but he couldn't find fault with it, Huang Chu wrinkled his brows and thought for a long time, and finally could only answer the order and leave.
After Huang Chu left, Wen Jingyuan squinted his eyes and sat lazily in the chair, took a sip of the teacup, and then looked out of the door: "Come in, if you eavesdrop outside for so long, aren't you afraid of being blown cold by the cold wind?" ”
Quietly outside the door, a little while, a delicate figure walked in, lotus steps, swaying.
"The concubine had no intention of eavesdropping on the political affairs of the previous dynasty, but she thought that the emperor was too tired to manage all the opportunities, so she personally cooked a cup of ginseng soup and sent it, who knew that General Huang was inside, and the concubine had to wait outside." Concubine Yun, who was dressed in a blue loose skirt, smiled skillfully, every smile and every action was very accurate, not exaggerated and charming, with hostas, earrings and light fat powder, vaguely showing a bit of fairy aura.
Concubine Yun is not a beauty, and her appearance is only middle-class compared to other harem beauties, but her charm is unmatched, and her eyes are full of charm, and the head teacher is attracted to men at a glance.
Naturally, Wen Jingyuan is no exception.
"I didn't expect Concubine Ai to have such cooking skills, I have to taste this soup well." Wen Jingyuan didn't take Concubine Yun's appearance seriously, and after listening to the explanation, he no longer doubted it. Picking up the soup cup and not lifting the lid, Wen Jingyuan closed his eyes and sniffed, revealing a satisfied expression: "Fragrant!" It's not the same as the ginseng soup you drink on weekdays! ”
Concubine Yun covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's different." This soup is made with eleven spices, stewed all night with chicken bone broth, and snow ginseng with a light taste but excellent effect, the taste is not too rushing, and the nourishing effect is several times stronger than the ginseng soup that is usually drunk. The emperor tasted it, how does it taste? ”
Slender Su took the soup cup and lifted the lid, Concubine Yun gently scooped up a spoonful and put it to her lips and blew it again and again, and then carefully sent it to Wen Jingyuan's mouth.
Wen Jingyuan gulped and drank a spoonful of ginseng soup in one gulp, but his eyes explored all the way up from the white wrist that was close at hand, swept over the white jade arms covered with tulle, and then to the firm and delicate neck like clotted fat, and finally stayed on Concubine Yun's ruddy and slightly enlightened red lips.
Compared with the sweet ginseng soup, Wen Jingyuan wanted to bite the lip flap more.
Every time Concubine Yun approached, Wen Jingyuan would have an impulse of desire, and after several months of exclusive petting, instead of getting bored, she was even more infatuated with her enchanting charm, and even in the middle of the day, there was a quiet rise somewhere in broad daylight.
"I'll go to you at night, this night, you don't want to run away again." Approaching Concubine Yun's ear and lowering her voice, Wen Jingyuan intentionally or unintentionally rubbed Concubine Yun's round earlobe with his lips, listening to a subtle whisper in his ear, with a satisfied look on his face.
"The emperor wants a cheap concubine, why wait until the night?" Concubine Yun fell softly into Wen Jingyuan's arms, smiling like a bell, her fingertips rubbing Wen Jingyuan's thin cheeks full of stubble, and the fragrance emitted by the porcelain skin became more and more intense. Pulling Wen Jingyuan's clothes close to her ear, Concubine Yun gasped lowly, and her voice carried an irresistible temptation: "When and where, the cheap concubines are all the emperor's people, if you want to-"
A loud sound of tables and chairs colliding came from the imperial study, followed by bursts of debauchery laughter, outside the door, Chief Manager Zhao covered his mouth and snickered, and saw a palace maid coming over and hurriedly restraining her smile and sinking her face, waving her hand to drive people away.
At this moment, the imperial study is a place that only belongs to two people immersed in the joy of clouds and rain, and has nothing to do with the previous dynasty, the harem, and the people of the world.
Yan Liwu remembers that when she was a child, she studied the text "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", which described the paradise of tranquility and happiness and no quarrel with the world, which is no different from the Gujia Village where she is now.
The house built for her was bigger than originally planned, and only one beam and roof were needed to be completed, and the villagers were busy from morning to night, working hard for this house together, in order to let Yan Liwu live in it one day earlier, and also for the exciting happy event in the village - the house was built, and the marriage between Yan Liwu and Gu Lianshan could be done.
At first, the people in the village didn't believe that Gu Lianshan picked up a fairy-like daughter-in-law for nothing, and it wasn't until the two appeared side by side in front of the new house that they understood that this was another fairy who promised to repay her lover with her body.
The villagers no longer let Gu Lianshan build a house, as long as he appears, he will be pushed back to the old house to accompany Yan Liwu, Gu Lianshan is not allowed to work without worry, except for some clothes that need to be sewn and mended, Yan Liwu can only look at the disease for the villagers, prescribe some home remedies, life is peaceful and peaceful, but a little empty.
Do you really want to marry Gu Lianshan? She didn't have the slightest affection for him.
Occasionally, she would ask herself this question, but when she saw the villagers and Gu Lianshan working hard to plan a new life for her, the guilt in her heart suppressed the confusion. She knew that she owed Gu Lianshan, if it weren't for him, maybe she would have been a rotting corpse in the river bubble.
"Here, bring this." On the night before the new house was built, Gu Lianshan tied a red and blue silk rope to Yan Liwu's wrist, and there was a crystal round brown amber in the middle. Gu Lianshan blushed and clenched his hand and pressed it to his chest intoxicated: "This is called a marriage rope, when there are people in the village who are married, the orchid mother-in-law will send a pair, symbolizing longevity and growing old together." Freedom from worries...... I really want to live with you for the rest of my life, take care of you, and protect you. ”
Yan Li smiled lightly, and quietly stroked the new silk rope.
Isn't it good enough to have a home that can shelter from the wind and rain, and a man who loves her and loves her? Maybe she once cared about who she cared about in her heart, but now it doesn't matter, she will be Gu Lianshan's wife in the future, give birth to children for him, and be with him for a lifetime.
Forget everything that should be forgotten, from now on, there is no Qinglian King in the world who is unclear about the truth and falsehood, only the prosaic words of Gujiacun.
That night, Gu Lianshan was still sleeping on the floor outside, he said, no matter how much he thought in his heart, he would still wait until the wedding day to be a real couple with Yan Liwei, before that, Yan Liwu was still a "fairy" he respected and admired.
It's a pity that he can't wait for that day.
Before dawn, a terrible scream pierced the hazy night, Gu Lianshan heard the voice and turned over, and pushed open the door in a panic: "I'll go out and have a look, don't run around, maybe the wild wolf on the mountain has come down." ”
Yan Liwu nodded, and after Gu Lianshan left, he quickly got dressed and ran to the window, but the night had not yet faded, and all he could see was a few fires and vague figures, and nothing else could be seen clearly.
Why is it so quiet?
After waiting for a long time and not seeing Gu Lianshan come back, he couldn't hear any noise outside, and he became more and more uneasy, he pushed the door lightly and walked out of the house, looking out through the hidden courtyard door-
I didn't see any wild wolves, but there were figures that kept shaking, and there were many of them, and it was too dark to see what they were doing. Yan Liwu couldn't recognize whether there was Gu Lianshan in that group of people, so he clenched his neckline and called softly, only this sound, the movements of the group of people stopped abruptly, and they all turned around and looked at her.
A few of those people were holding torches, and the faint light was reflected on their faces, and Yan Li narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while, and his expression froze suddenly.
The figures dangling in the village were not the villagers of Gujia Village, but a group of strangers with hideous expressions, holding long or short blades in their hands, and many villagers lying in pools of blood under their feet.
Looking at each other, someone seemed to recognize Yan Liwu, pointed his arm, and shouted: "It's her!" That's her! Grab it! ”
Is it coming at her again? Yan Liwu didn't have time to think, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the village - she didn't know who those people were, and she didn't know who was going to arrest her, but she understood that if she stayed in Gujia Village for a few more moments, the more innocent villagers would die because of her.
The crooked old trees at the entrance of the village were getting closer and closer, and the people who were tracking behind her were slowly narrowing the distance, and suddenly a few fires quickly gathered from the surroundings, carrying a group of familiar faces.
"Leave the worries! Come on! ”
Gu Lianshan, whose face was covered with blood, was between Yan Liwu and the pursuers, and behind him were villagers carrying various sickles and hoes.
