Chapter 18 A Lifetime
The generals looked at it and said, "Really."
Shui Ling'er said harder: "At this time, the princess hugged me tightly and said to me, King Jing, people can't live without you, and then he kissed me, which caught me off guard, it was like a wolf pounced on the sheep, and I couldn't resist it."
A general said in admiration to Shui Ling'er, "The princess is really a heroine among women! Congratulations to King Jing for having such a good wife."
Situ Jing, who heard it clearly in the back, was so angry that he clenched his hands, which was completely inconsistent with the facts, looking at Shui Ling'er's appearance that he was so proud that he was about to fly into the sky, he really wanted to kick it from behind, but remembered what Fang Yu had said to be gentle with her, so he endured it.
Shui Ling'er didn't notice the person who was burning angrily behind her, and whispered to the generals in front of her, "Shhh, don't tell anyone about this."
After the generals patted their chests and promised, Shui Ling'er walked to the soldiers on the side, and repeated the same words, this time the princess showed her snow-white fragrant shoulders, which made the soldiers look envious, and Shui Ling'er proudly asked them not to spread rumors everywhere.
It didn't take long for Shui Ling'er to find another group of people and repeat the same words, in addition to revealing the snow-white fragrant shoulders, there were also more words of the princess rubbing against her, which made people blush and heartbeat.
Situ Jing's patience had reached the limit, he walked over and grabbed Shui Ling'er's collar, and said sternly, "What are you doing?"
The people around them watched and quickly saluted and left, so as not to be innocently implicated.
Shui Ling'er didn't know why Situ Jing was angry, and said innocently, "Brother Jing, did I do something wrong?"
"What nonsense are you talking to them?"
Shui Ling'er was surprised and said, "How do you know?" She bowed her head weakly and muttered, "Just tell them not to spread it."
Situ Jing endured his temper and said, "Why doesn't it match the facts?" And every time it is repeated, it will add fuel and vinegar.
Shui Ling'er said hesitantly, "This... This..." She knew that she was at a loss, and before Situ Jing scolded her, she showed a bright smile and said coquettishly, "Brother Jing, are you hungry? I'll cook for you." After speaking, he ran away, but was stopped by Situ Jing.
Situ Jing said word by word: "You explain it to me clearly!" His fierce appearance made the generals who were watching the excitement from afar feel silent for Shui Ling'er.
Shui Ling'er smiled and said, "Brother Jing, you have something to say, you have a lot of adults, not counting villains."
Situ Jing was about to open his mouth to scold her for spreading rumors, when a murderous aura came to his face, he quickly pushed Shui Ling'er away, and he pushed back two or three steps.
Shui Ling'er staggered back a few steps, her center of gravity was unstable, and she was about to fall backwards and sit down, when suddenly someone who came quickly from the side grabbed her, and his other hand was still holding her waist, this person was Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu looked at Shui Ling'er affectionately, and said softly, "Let you be frightened." Luckily, he moved quickly, so he wouldn't fall.
Shui Ling'er was indeed frightened, but the reason was him.
Situ Jing looked at the intimate movements of the two people in front of him, and stepped forward unhappily to pull Shui Ling'er behind him, and he said to Dongfang Yu solemnly: "Those who come to send the surrender and the book, go to the military and political tent, don't do some strange things." Dare to hug Shui Ling'er.
Dongfang Yu chuckled and said, "King Jing, you princess is really fierce." He looked at Situ Jing with contempt, and said, "It's not good to stay in the palace to serve the Queen Mother, but you came here to show your face and interfere with King Jing's actions, King Jing, this princess is unacceptable, divorce him before the wedding."
Shui Ling'er said anxiously, "No, although Brother Jing is very fierce, he treats me well." Situ Jing treated her well, she knew how she could take revenge.
Situ Jing's heart warmed when he heard this, and he held Shui Ling'er's hand even tighter.
Dongfang Yu was stunned, she called him Brother Jing? A man called a woman's brother? He thought to himself that maybe it was an intimate title between the two of them, and he showed favor to Shui Ling'er, saying, "I can also treat you well and be your brother Yu."
Situ Jing almost felt sick to his stomach when he heard this, and he said calmly, "No need."
Dongfang Yu said disdainfully: "It's you who said you don't have to, King Jing is undecided." He looked at Shui Ling'er and said amiably, "King Jing, how is it? After becoming your brother Yu, whatever you want, I will try my best to find it for you."
Situ Jing was secretly glad that Shui Ling'er was a person who had nothing to ask for, and Dongfang Yu's temptation had no effect on her at all.
Shui Ling'er looked at Dongfang Yu intently for a moment, and wondered, "Who are you?"
Dongfang Yu was stunned, she actually forgot him again.
Situ Jing sneered at him and said to Shui Ling'er, "He's not important, you don't have to know who he is." After speaking, he led Shui Ling'er to the military and political tent, and said coldly to Dongfang Yu, "If you want to hand over the peace book, come over."
Dongfang Yu quickly followed, and he said to Shui Ling'er, "I am the Seventh Prince of Chu State, Dongfang Yu." He looked at Shui Ling'er with a confused face, and continued, "Just a few days ago, you burned down my military camp and scolded me for being perverted." If it weren't for her memory, he really didn't want to mention his embarrassing past.
His defeat has made other kings write to his father, accusing him of not being a saint in the state of Chu, but only issuing a holy decree to make him responsible, in addition to handing over the book of surrender and gold, silver and jewelry, that is, to be a proton in the Liang country.
Although he was unwilling, after all, he was a hostage, and the day of returning to Chu was far away, and he couldn't see his mother, but compared to returning to Chu to face the deceit of the kings, it might not be a bad thing to come to Liang to be a hostage.
In the military and political tent, after Fang Yu read the book of surrender, he handed it to Shui Ling'er, and after Shui Ling'er carefully read these words that she didn't know, she said to Dongfang Yu: "We still need to discuss, please wait outside first."
Dongfang Yu was stunned and said, "Do you still need to ask for other conditions for peace?"
Fang Yu explained, "King Yu has thought too much, King Jing is just cautious."
Dongfang Yu looked at Shui Ling'er and nodded seriously, and said, "Okay." He saluted and left.
Shui Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person softened on the back of the chair.
Situ Jing said flatly, "Shui Ling'er, pay attention to your sitting posture." Although he was used to her like this, he still couldn't help but miss her.
Situ Jing got up and walked to Shui Ling'er's side, and after reading the book on the table, he picked up a brush and signed his name, and after stamping his seal, he said, "Shui Ling'er, you have to learn to imitate my signature, otherwise it will be easy to be recognized."
Shui Ling'er leaned forward and looked at Situ Jing's signature, and said easily, "This ghost drawing talisman, I will too." She picked up the white paper on the side and wrote in a similar way.
Situ Jing frowned, the first time he was said that his words were like ghost drawings, he saw Shui Ling'er imitating his words, it was not like it at all, her writing was a veritable ghost drawing.
After Shui Ling'er finished writing, she looked at her own handwriting, and when she saw Situ Jing's writing, it was a world of difference, and she wondered, "How is it different."
"You need to practice more."
Fang Yu walked over, took the book of surrender, and said, "King Jing, are you going back to the house tomorrow?"
Situ Jing said: "Let the army go home, and we will go directly to the imperial capital."
"Yes."
A few days later, Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er went to Shanzhai Village to say goodbye to Foxi.
Situ Jing respectfully saluted to Fo Xi and said, "Fo Xi, are you really not going to the imperial capital with us?" He knew that Fu Xi was the one who raised Shui Ling'er to grow up, and to Shui Ling'er, Fu Xi was like her father.
Fu Xi chuckled and said, "When I was young, I traveled all over the country with my former gang leader, but now that I'm old and lazy, I just want to stay here."
Shui Ling'er said, "Father Fuxi, we will come back after the wedding."
Fu Xi chuckled, held Situ Jing's hand, and said cautiously, "I hope you can treat her well and live up to her for the rest of your life." This is not only the last wish of the former gang leader, but also his wish.
Situ Jing affirmed, "Yes." He had already identified her, so he would marry her, the only wife in his life.
After Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er bowed to Foxi before leaving, they walked out and got into the carriage.
When only Fu Xi was left in the house, Shui Wuxian walked out of the screen on the side, and after briefly introducing himself, he asked Fu Xi seriously about Shui Ling'er's life experience.
Fu Xi didn't expect that after so many years, someone would chase the past again, so he told Shui Wuxian everything he knew.
After hearing this, Shui Wuxian was even more sure of the answer in his heart.
Outside the house, after Shui Ling'er saw Shui Wuxian come out, she didn't think much about it: "Shui Wuxian, how can you swallow it slowly, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to get to the next town before dark."
Shui Wuxian nodded lightly, walked over quickly, and said to Shui Ling'er sternly, "King Jing, if you lose the princess in the future, I will never spare you."
Shui Ling'er still didn't understand what Shui Wuxian meant, Shui Wuxian had already stepped on the horse, as if nothing had happened, and said flatly, "You can go."
Fang Yu rode a horse at the forefront, and dozens of guards behind him rode horses to protect several carriages in the middle.
Shui Ling'er went out for the first time, so she kept looking out the window excitedly, and kept asking Situ Jing about the imperial capital.
Situ Jingyuan wanted to close his eyes and look up, but he was infected by Shui Ling'er's excitement, and his mood also became joyful, and said, "When you arrive in the imperial capital, I will take you wherever you want to play, but you must promise me that you must be cautious in your words and deeds in front of my mother, otherwise my queen mother will be able to see through it."
"Okay."
A few hours later, Shui Ling'er was so tired that she fell asleep on Situ Jing's lap, and at this time, Fang Yu had already let the other generals lead the team, so he got into the carriage and said to Situ Jing, "King Jing, Shui Wuxian seems to have taken a fancy to the princess." Otherwise, how could he have said that?
Situ Jing looked at Shui Ling'er who was sleeping on his lap and said flatly, "You still have to be wary of him, because we don't know what his purpose is."
"Yes."
It was already night at the tavern in the next town, and the local county magistrate came to visit, Fang Yu and Situ Jing went to see him, and asked Shui Ling'er to go back to the room to rest first.
When Shui Ling'er was about to step into the room, someone grabbed her arm from behind, and she looked back and saw that it was Xiaohu.
