Li Palace, located in the apse on the mountainside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Shuang pushed open the window and quietly looked at the city below the mountain. Without war, everything is so quiet. The earth-shattering war of a dozen days ago seemed like a nightmare, and the battlefield is now a dream-like lake, with a thick layer of ice on top of it every morning. When the morning sun rises, the light smoke on the ice is faint from the Imperial Mt. Imperial Chamber, and the golden light is refracted like a fairy tale.

The royal reservoir of the Imperial Chambers began to store water again, and the dredging of the underground rivers and the restoration of the water conservancy facilities in the city made it possible for the water from the Juyong Mountains to no longer flow into the surrounding rivers, and the Imperial Capital City once again had living water. The whole city soon became clean and tidy, and the streets were gradually showing signs of recovery.

Since Admiral Beru's forcible relocation of wealthy families from the Gyeonggi region and nearby provinces into the imperial capital, merchants from afar have come from far and wide to sell cheap necessities, bringing with them expensive silk teas, precious stones, and exquisite handicrafts. The people of this city are no longer just satisfying their appetites, they are looking for spiritual pleasures. Of course, this is only a small beginning, a beginning that is pregnant with hope!

Ye Shuang sometimes had to marvel at how tenacious the vitality of this empire and her people was, they possessed a strong sense of regeneration and self-discipline, and not long after the days of the flames, everything was recovering at a visible speed.

This point cannot be compared to the Orc Kingdom, the royal city where His Majesty the Beast Emperor lives is a small village in the wilderness compared to the Imperial Capital City. Wars between lords often meant destruction, and after the wars, the land became barren and soon became a haven for hyenas, scavengers, vultures, and the dry bones of the former battlefields were everywhere - almost unthinkable in the human empire. They are good at sabotage, but seem to be better at building.

However, Ye Shuang knew very well that the beauty in front of her was still fragile, and the shadow of war still hung over the city, and it was so oppressive that it was breathless at any time.

Early in the morning, she saw groups of cavalry heading out of the city via Central Street, their morale high and their hunger for victory. According to Admiral Burru, these cavalry will go to the province of Luohe to exterminate the last "rebels". At the same time, Huo Qinghui, the governor of the southwest, launched an attack on the southeastern provinces and brought them under the rule of the imperial court.

This move was enough to destroy the will of those troops who stayed in the southeast of Luohe Province. If they want to defend their old nest, these southeastern armies must return to the southeast by water and sea, but their weak forces are already twilight, and whether they go back or not can actually change anything.

Ye Shuang didn't know why Berlu would take the trouble to tell her this, she didn't care about these things, although she also knew that Admiral Beru was making final preparations for the future civil war, but what did these have to do with her? All she remembered was the beloved man who didn't know where he was.

On that war-torn day, the two of them chose to avoid seeing each other because of embarrassment, and they came together again. Ye Shuang knew that Ah Heng was leaving, so she silently terminated the contract between them, and took over the inheritance of the jade seal and Camerondo that he had left behind. From beginning to end, they didn't say a word.

Ye Shuang knew that although the man she loved was right in front of her and within reach, their hearts were in two worlds. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't really get into his heart. The girl who passed away was a barrier she could never cross. What is she going to do with someone who is no longer there but is omnipresent?

Ye Shuang looked at Ah Heng's back as he left with the support of his own soldiers, he was so thin and lonely. Just as she was about to step into the carriage, she saw Ah Heng suddenly turn his head, smile at her, and wave his hand very chicly. The sun shone on his somewhat pale face, and it was so brilliant.

Ye Shuang pursed her lips, and tears couldn't stop dripping. This bastard, he knew that he was pretending to be free and easy like this, which would only make her more uncomfortable. The wandering and unfocused eyes pierced her heart deeply. She suddenly ran towards the carriage.

Ah Heng stopped.

Ye Shuang looked at the man in front of him, only felt that there were a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word, and finally all turned into a calm smile: "Ah Heng, I'll wait for you to come back!"

"Perhaps...... I will never come back here!"

"No, you will definitely come back! Ah Heng, I will always wait for you in the Li Palace, even if I am full of gray hair that day, I will wait for you. Just like you once saved me, descend from the sky, drive away the demons, and save me, a useless princess - Ah Heng, you are the hero in my heart, the hero of the world in my heart! The future is so difficult and confusing, she is afraid that if she doesn't speak out, she will never have a chance.

Ye Shuang tried hard to wipe away her tears, wanting to show a beautiful smile, but found that the tears were more and more wiped. She laughed while crying, and her smile was more uncomfortable than crying.

The generals at the side of the carriage sighed.

Cao Jian: "Since ancient times, there has been love and hatred!"

Shi Qian: "Gentle Township is the Hero's Tomb!"

Xiao Lei: "Bad luck!"

Hu You: "......"

Listening to these bastards' nonsense, Ah Heng's face became darker and darker, he had no choice but to get out of the carriage and gently open his arms, Ye Shuang suddenly threw himself into his arms and cried. Ah Heng patted the other party's back and said in a low voice, "Silly boy, even if you have to wait, you can do something else!"

Ye Shuang looked up in confusion.

Heng: "For example...... How many friends do you have...... You're too young to know what a ...... is. Love ......," his voice grew quieter, "maybe...... There will be better people...... Ahh

Ye Shuang cried and left.

Ah Heng hugged his sore feet and screamed: "It's painful for me, hurry, hurry, help me, hey, hey, where are all the people? Come and help me...... This girl, stepping on it too hard!"

Several generals of Northern Xinjiang who had been eavesdropping with their ears pricked up all pouted, got on their horses directly, and left this "hero of the world" jumping straight to their feet in place.

Cao Jian: "This hatred is endless!"

Shi Qian: "Is it tolerable or unbearable!"

Xiao Lei: "My conscience was eaten by a dog!"

Hu You: "......"

Ah Heng was desperate.

"I'll help you!" a soft voice sounded.

Ah Heng was overjoyed, he could hear that it was the young man beside Granny Jin. He was about to thank him, but he let out another scream - his other foot was also trampled on!

"Well, even I can't look past it this time!" said the soft voice.

Granny Jin, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but pause on her crutches and sighed: "What kind of sin are you doing!"

......

Ye Shuang retracted her thoughts, angry and funny. In fact, her foot was not heavy at all, how could she bear to hurt him? That villain just pretended to be a victim, and the ghost cried wolf!

Ye Shuang stroked the old octagonal bronze mirror in his hand, the sky was completely dark, and another day had passed. This was the beginning, and she didn't know how many days and nights she would have to wait, but she would keep waiting! )
