Back in Chigu City, Liu Ye found many familiar faces, the Southern Saintess with a pair of emerald eyes, the poisonous scorpion with a shrinking silhouette and body size, and the prince of Qiuzi dressed as a handsome herdsman.

"So you're all ......" Liu Ye couldn't hold back her excitement, she was subconsciously looking for something in the crowd, but it was inconvenient to say it in public. She didn't know if Tu Qitang would come to the rescue, and the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon would lose her temper because of this.

Nansheng Maiden smiled slightly: "I haven't seen you for many years, princess, are you doing well?" ”

"I, I've been doing well all these years......" When she was with the first king, Liu Ye's life was indeed quite smooth, but she really didn't want to think about this recent nightmare.

Tu Qitang was afraid that she would think of something unhappy, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Nan Shengnu mentions you every year, she says how smart and clever you are, how gentle and lovely. ”

Liu Ye smiled embarrassedly, and the Southern Holy Maiden answered: "I say this, isn't it to comfort someone's lovesickness, someone misses the princess every day, and his head is big, if I don't say a few words, I'm afraid that I will already miss crazy." ”

Hearing this, Qing Ling couldn't help but interject: "When did the sect leader start thinking of the queen?" Now that you've remembered, why don't you come to her? Or, taking into account the identity of the queen? ”

Nan Shengnu and Tu Qitang glanced at each other, hesitated and did not speak, Qing Ling continued: "Sect Master, you should have come to the queen earlier, so that she would not suffer from lovesickness. To tell you the truth, although it is rumored that the queen and the former king have a deep love and affection, they are only a nominal couple. The first king respected the queen's wishes and never forced her to accept his overtures, but the queen could only disappoint the first king because she missed the sect leader in her heart. ”

Tu Qitang listened, his brows furrowed more and more, and the Southern Holy Maiden felt incredible: "So that's the case, we didn't expect that the princess and King Zuo Xian were just a nominal husband and wife, and the sect leader was afraid of affecting their lives, so he didn't come to see the princess for a long time." If only I had known it would have been ......"

"I knew what if it was like this!" The poisonous scorpion, which had been silent for a long time, sighed, "Even if I had known that this was the case, and I had known that the princess was still waiting for him, the sect leader would not have been able to go." ”

Nan Shengnu didn't know how to answer for a while, the poisonous scorpion glanced at her, and said: "I know that you have been complaining about me and Mingyue in your heart, blaming us for breaking up the sect leader and the princess, but you must know that Mingyue is also well-intentioned!" ”

"I know." The Southern Saintess replied softly.

The poisonous scorpion looked at Tu Qitang again: "What about you, you were reluctant to stay by Mingyue's side, when the princess and they left Xishui Village, I saw that you couldn't rush out to stop her." Later, although I held back, I refused to pay attention to Mingyue for a long time, you were angry with her, you ignored her, do you know how sad Mingyue is? Yes, she prevented you from being with your beloved and kept you separated for ten years, but do you understand why she did it? ”

Tu Qitang nodded: "I understand, my mother wants me to be an ordinary person and doesn't want me to take any more risks." ”

"But look at you, you have completely failed your mother's hopes now, and you are still desperate for the princess......" The scorpion shook his head, his right hand pounding his heart, and coughed hoarsely.

Everyone was silent, Qing Ling thought for a while, and said, "Ten years ago, we went to Xishui Village to find the sect leader, and at that time, the sect leader recognized the princess, right?" The reason why the sect leader pretended not to know was only because the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon asked him to do so! ”

Seeing that no one answered, Qing Ling knew that she was right, and couldn't help but point at the poisonous scorpion angrily: "They have wasted ten years of time, and now that the queen is in the midst of fire and water, shouldn't the sect leader come to save her?" You said that he lived up to the hopes of the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, is it that they have never seen each other in this life, and the sect leader can be regarded as a filial son? Say, you said, come and listen! ”

The poisonous scorpion held back and remained silent, and the more Qing Ling spoke, the more angry he became: "The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon is too stingy, it's been ten years, and the sect leader and the princess are still not allowed to be together." I can't figure it out, what is wrong with the princess, how did she offend her, when the Xiling Sect was in distress, it was the princess who stepped forward to help her out of the siege. Okay, that woman's little belly and chicken intestines are calculating, you old scorpion is stirring up something, you and the woman have a nostril to breathe, just guard her not to go anywhere, don't think that we welcome you to come, where should you go, go and accompany your stingy Bright Moon Saint Maiden......"

"Say no more!" The poisonous scorpion clenched his fists, jumped up in annoyance, his reddened eyes stared at Qing Ling, looking quite scary, "Don't say anything bad about Yue, none of you are allowed to insult her......"

Liu Ye hurriedly grabbed Qing Ling, who wanted to talk back, and apologized to the poisonous scorpion: "I'm sorry, Ling'er, she didn't mean to, she was just a little excited, you must not mind." We all respect the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, in my heart, she is my relative, because of my relationship, I am very happy to make her unhappy. Tu Qitang came to Wusun for me, and I am willing to go with him to see the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon and ask for her forgiveness. ”

"Princess......" Nan Shengnu called, looked at Tu Qitang with a sad look in his eyes, and still didn't say it.

"How?" Liu Ye noticed that the expressions of Tu Qitang and Nan Shengnu were not quite right, and asked, "Did I say the wrong thing, what can I do to ask for the forgiveness of the Mingyue Holy Maiden, you tell me!" ”

"Ye'er......" Tu Qitang stroked Liu Ye's shoulder, and a little tear welled up in his clear eyes, "You're not wrong, you don't need to do anything......"

"But, you ......" Liu Ye suddenly realized something, she didn't dare to say any more, and looked at them uneasily.

Qing Ling was puzzled: "Sect Master, did you fall out with the Bright Moon Holy Maiden?" You can't stand her anymore, can you? That's right, you're such a big person, you should have planned for yourself a long time ago, as for the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, let the old scorpion serve you......"

"Shut up!" The poisonous scorpion couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Mingyue, she treats you well, you can't talk about her like that, Ling'er, back then, you had an awkward quarrel with Master Shi and refused to get married, and she a lot of hearts!" You girl, how can you be ungrateful! ”

Qing Ling was stunned, unpleasant memories came to his heart, and his mood also went down: "Yes, I remember that in my most difficult time, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon gave me a lot of comfort. It's me who is wrong, I'm ungrateful, I only think about her arrogance and selfishness, and I forget her kindness and love. So then, I went with the queen to make amends to her, and begged her to forgive, and if she would not forgive us, I begged until she nodded. ”

The poisonous scorpion shook his head and smiled: "No need, really no need......"

Qingling was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "You old scorpion, this is not good, that is not right, what do you want me to do?" No one else will be as stubborn as you, you should always give me a chance to ask for forgiveness......"

"Mingyue, she's gone, she's gone......" The poisonous scorpion's tears gushed out, waving his hands, and shouting excitedly, "She's gone, she can't come back, I'll never see her again, you don't understand, you don't have a chance to see her if you want to......"

Hearing this, Liu Ye and Qing Ling both felt their hearts sinking, Qing Ling bit his lip, and said hurriedly: "What do you mean by this, you make it clear, how is it possible, Mingyue Holy Maiden is a good person, she has strong martial arts, and she has such deep internal strength, how can she just leave, no, you are deliberately scaring us......

The poisonous scorpion seemed to have suddenly fallen into an ice cellar, he hugged himself tightly with both hands, and the whole person trembled violently: "I just held her like this, and I couldn't keep her, she closed her eyes forever in my arms, no matter how I called her, she couldn't hear ......"

The poisonous scorpion slowly spread his hands again, looking at his palms stupidly, as if looking at his beloved Mingyue Holy Maiden, falling into a confused mood, and muttered: "Mingyue, don't make trouble, look at you, you are playing with me again, okay, okay, blame me for not good, I will compensate you, you have a lot of adults, don't be like me." Hehe, I've made amends to you, and you still won't forgive me, hey, the kids are coming back, and they'll laugh at you when they see you like this......"

Liu Ye covered her lips to prevent herself from crying, and the Southern Saintess hugged her, and the two sobbed softly. Qing Ling couldn't regret it, annoyed that he shouldn't have said bad things about the Moon Saintess in front of the poisonous scorpion, Tuqi Tang looked at the poisonous scorpion blankly, remembering the scene when the Bright Moon Saintess died.

"The Holy Maiden tested the poison for the Holy Yin Sect Leader back then, and fell ill, and later sent internal force to the Tuqitang Sect Master to heal her injuries, and her body finally couldn't hold on. Giving up the Xiling Sect was not only for the sake of the sect, but also a choice she had to make. The Southern Saintess looked at Liu Ye and said sadly, "The Holy Maiden is hoping that her son will be safe and worry-free, but seeing him fall off the cliff with her own eyes has dealt a great blow to her. So, she tried her best to break you apart, and she was afraid that the only son would also meet with you. For this reason, she did not hesitate to make up lies, hoping that the sect leader of Tuqitang already had a wife and children to prevent you from reconciling. ”

The Southern Holy Maiden took Tu Qitang's hand and put it on Liu Ye's hand: "In the past ten years, the sect leader has endured the torture of longing in order to make the Holy Maiden feel at ease, and stayed in Xishui Village to accompany her. Although he can't meet you, he prays for you every day and hopes that you will have a good life. ”

"The venomous scorpion predecessors used what they had learned all their lives to detoxify and heal the Holy Maiden, and the Holy Maiden barely survived the past ten years, and after all, she still took the first step. Her dying wish was still to hope that the sect leader would live well and stay away from the killing of the world. After the Holy Maiden left, the poisonous scorpion was originally going to go with her, but she couldn't rest assured that the sect leader would not be relieved. Because the sect leader heard your news and knew that Wusun had changed the dynasty, and the title of king was bound to be unfavorable to you. The sect leader sacrificed his happiness to accompany the saint for many years, and the poisonous scorpion couldn't bear to let him suffer anymore, so he agreed to come with him to save you. ”

The poisonous scorpion cried even more sadly: "Mingyue, I'm sorry for you, I knew that this trip was dangerous, but I still let him come." But don't worry, I'll take a good look at him, even if I fight for my life, I won't let him have an accident. Don't be angry, when I go to see you, I'll make you scold enough......"

Liu Ye looked at Tu Qitang apologetically: "If it weren't for me, my mother wouldn't have to be afraid, and now that you are risking your life for me, I am really ashamed of my mother's ......."

"Don't say that, Ye'er, I've caused you to suffer so much, I can't help but come." Tu Qitang shook his head with tears, "The two people I care about the most in my life are you and my mother, I have done my filial piety in ten years, and the rest of my life is yours, Ye'er, you are my wife!" ”

Liu Ye nodded vigorously, unable to speak excitedly, Shi Zhong made a look, Nan Shengnu and Qing Ling helped the poisonous scorpion to leave, and Wan Nian and Prince Jiangbin also left with each other, leaving them space to be alone.

Looking at Xiaobao and Yuan Guimi playing in the yard, Shizhong felt that there was a long way to go, the two children were still too young, and they didn't understand the dangers of the world. Yuan Guimi experienced the fright of being under house arrest by Nimi, and refused to speak all the way, but fortunately, after coming to Chigu City, he and Xiaobao played together every day, and gradually forgot those things on the grassland.

After Liu Ye and Tu Qitang reunited, they both cherished the hard-won quiet life, but they both knew very well in their hearts that this tranquility was temporary at the moment. Ni Mi was assassinated, led by Xu Qige, and the elders and ministers of the surrender faction couldn't wait to submit to the Xiongnu, they didn't have the patience to wait for Liu Ye to make a comeback, and none of them were willing to let Liu Ye take power again.

The division had already sent someone to inform Chang Hui, and it would not be long before Chang Hui would lead his troops to surround the grassland and compete with the muddy cavalry. Immediately afterwards, Liu Ye and Yuan Guimi will return to the grassland and regain the power of Wusun. Yuan Guimi is the king, Liu Ye assists, and another dynasty is coming.

This is exactly Liu Ye's original plan, she wants to assist Yuan Guimi to become Kunmo of Wusun, with Chigu City as the center, to rebuild the new dynasty of Wusun. Even if you can't get rid of the mud, with the power you have cultivated over the years, you can occupy one side. Unexpectedly, Tu Qitang and Wan Nian came at such a critical moment, and Tu Qitang also killed Ni Mi, which can be said to solve the worries and pave the way for Yuan Guimi to become king.

No matter how Xu Qige and others made a mess, they could not change Liu Ye's plan, nor could they prevent the establishment of Yuan Guimi's new regime. As long as Chang Hui returns, they will launch a counteroffensive and wipe out the remaining rebels in one fell swoop.

After a few days of getting along, Wan Nian couldn't help but look at Jiang Bin with admiration, and when he led his troops into the grassland, Jiang Bin disguised himself as an ordinary soldier to fight against the Wusun cavalry regardless of the danger. In fact, with his status, he didn't have to do this, and it was thanks to his help that he regained his freedom for ten thousand years.

"Mother, my brother Shi is all right in Qiuzi, and now that we are all safe, she can rest assured when she receives the news." Wan Nian told Liu Ye the truth, "Erchen thought that he would never have the opportunity to repay your kindness in this life, but fortunately, Prince Jiangbin came to the rescue in time, creating the illusion that Erchen was dead, and exempted the old king from the threat." ”

"It seems that you don't complain about Prince Jiangbin anymore." Liu Ye smiled slightly.

"Well, he is kind to Erchen, how can Erchen be embarrassed to blame him." Wan Nian smiled bitterly, "Although his act of forcibly abducting his younger brother Shi is really a bastard, he is wholeheartedly devoted to his younger brother, otherwise, he would not have risked his life to save his son and his mother." With his sincerity, he can't be blamed. ”

Liu Ye breathed a long sigh of relief: "Yes, at first I was most worried about my younger brother Shi, although she is a pampered princess, she has a very strong temperament. If she is forced, I am afraid she will do unimaginable things. Besides, she is very dedicated to you, her brother, her father, the queen mother, and Wusun has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is difficult for her to accept it. Fortunately, Prince Jiangbin cherished her very much and did not embarrass her. For the sake of his younger brother, regardless of his own life, he tried his best to rescue our mother and son, and he can be regarded as a good man who is affectionate and righteous and worthy of trust. ”

"What does the queen mean?" Wan Nian was reluctant to give up, but he also had to recognize the reality, Jiang Bin spent so much thought on his brother Shi, it was impossible to give up her.

"Perhaps, Jiangbin is really the destined destination of my brother's history!" Liu Ye said tentatively, "Your father and I both want to find a good home for our younger brother, of course, what we value is not a position of power. Ten thousand years, so what do you think? ”

Wan Nian hurriedly looked away: "What else can the sons and daughters think, everything is arranged by the queen mother." ”

Liu Ye shook his head: "You, you have been too good at thinking about others since you were a child, and you and your younger brother Shi's thoughts are known to the queen mother." Now you are not the king of Shache, nor the general of Wusun, but you are still you! Brother Shi doesn't care about those titles, she only cares about you. ”

"Queen Mother...... "Wan Nian didn't dare to have extravagant hopes, "But, Prince Jiangbin has done so much for us, isn't it just to be with his younger brother!" ”

"Yes, we do owe him, but emotional matters cannot be measured by indebtedness, I believe that Prince Jiangbin will also understand this truth." Liu Ye smiled, "To be honest, the queen mother doesn't know how to deal with the relationship between the three of you, it's better for you to solve it yourself, no matter what the final result is, the queen mother will not object." Therefore, you should not let yourself have regrets, do not take into account the eyes of others, only if you have worked hard, will you face everything calmly. Wan Nian, you are a smart child, no matter what the outcome is, I believe you can get something out of it. ”

Wan Nian pondered Liu Ye's words carefully, and finally figured out the meaning, he found Jiangbin and said: "Prince Jiangbin, I don't know what Brother Shi promised you, but you proved with your actions that you are qualified to have her promise. I also believe that you really love her, and she will be very happy with you. ”

Jiang Bin smiled embarrassedly: "I hope so, but I don't want my brother Shi to be with me for the sake of promise, after all, I have used dishonorable means, and doing these things for her should be compensated." To tell you the truth, I like my brother's history very much, and the more I know about it, the more I like it. When it comes to love, I feel ashamed in my heart, I love someone, I won't force her, but if I don't love, I'm not qualified to have her. ”

"Do you love or don't you love it?" Wan Nian pretended to ask casually.

Jiang Bin said: "I love her, there is no doubt about it. ”

"That is, you won't force her." Wan Nian waited for his answer.

Jiang Bin pondered for a long time and smiled with relief: "Of course, I promise you. ”
