On the roof, a huge gully spread from the edge of the lower eaves to the ridge of the roof, forcibly drawing a clear dividing line between the two. The smoke billowed for a while, blurring everyone’s thoughts, and causing the two people on the roof to cough violently.
“…” The people under looked at the magnificent view on the roof and the pieces of shattered tiles that kept falling down, silently blown away by the wind.
Cui Er Jiejie, we know that your martial arts are strong, but no matter how strong your martial-arts are, you can’t use your own roof! Don’t you know that our palace is already in deficit due to the appet.i.te of our Niang Niang and the repeated visits of a.s.sa.s.sins?
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the two on the roof slowly saw the attacker under them looking up slightly.
“It’s me, do you have an opinion?” Cui Er turned sideways and stared at the dumbfounded men standing on the roof.
The expression on Su WuDuan’s face suddenly stiffened. He laughed twice: “Oh, how could I dare have an opinion towards my wife? Wife, I haven’t seen you in a few days and your skills are getting better. Look at the miserable roof. Tsk tsk tsk, with such a big movement, wife, you must be tired, I will give you a ma.s.sage on your back and shoulders. ”
Looking at Cui Er’s stifling aura that penetrated from her body little by little, Su Wuduan hurriedly flew down from the roof. With a flattering look, he fawned over her: “Wife, when did you come, why did you not tell me……”
His voice hadn’t finished coming out, when a bright s.h.i.+ning longsword reached Su Wuduan’s neck ruthlessly.
Cui Er’s eyes narrowed slightly, she sneered: “Tell you? When do I need to report to you where I go?”
“…Of course, of course there’s no need… wife can go wherever she wants to go. I have no comment!”
“…” In fact, we were here from the very beginning, but you were too focused on flirting with Second Brother, so you didn’t notice us. Xia Yuqing glanced sympathetically at Cui Er’s sword facing Su Wuduan. That’s why you could never hurt the ones who are blind even with their eyes open (uneducated)!
Cui Er glanced at Su Wuduan, and then coldly spat out another sentence: “Also, how many times have I said it, I am not your wife!”
“!” Is it possible that wife during his period of absence, was taken advantage of by Second Junior Brother, and is abandoning him? !
“Wife, wife, you can’t be so cruel to me! My love for you is as hot as the sun above my head, like the spring water outside. You can’t just abandon me like that! How can I live on my own without you? Wife!”
“…” Sure enough, if you are cheap, you are invincible. With that greasy speech that Senior Brother can throw out at will, it really causes this Junior Sister to gain a body full of goose b.u.mps!
Senior Brother, if you confess to Cui Er with such affection, what about second brother who has been waiting for you this entire time? !
Cui Er seemed to have long been immune to Su Wuduan’s sweet words. She raised her eyebrows, and sneered: “How many female confidantes have been coaxed by your rhetoric before, yet you dare use it on me?”
“… close confidant?” Su Wuduan’s face stiffened. Then as if he had understood something, his eyes lit up: “Wife, did you hear the words of that fool just now? Is that why you got so angry and ruined the roof? Wife, are you jealous? Hey, wife, you are jealous, right? Hahaha, I knew my wife couldn’t have no feelings for me. Wife, don’t listen to him. That kid is talking nonsense. Those are things that are 800 years old. Since I met you, I have been clean and have never set foot in those places.”
“…” Senior brother, that last shy twist, what expression is that? ! Someone come and take care of that wicked animal for me!
“Wife, if you still feel unhappy, it doesn’t matter. You can vent out your anger as much as you want. As long as my wife is happy, I will stand here and let my wife beat me. As long as my wife doesn’t not want me, wife……” The last wife Su Wuduan screamed lingered for so long, it caused everyone on the side to shake with goose b.u.mps.
“…” Yun Zhong Yue stood on the roof, condescendingly looking down at Su Wuduan with a pair of “Come on hit me, hit me. Hitting or cursing at me is out of love. If you hit me, it is because you love me”. His lips sneered unconsciously. Senior brother, you are really so cheap!
However, Senior Brother, did you just call that woman…wife?
“Senior Brother, the wife you are talking about is that girl?”
After hearing Yun Zhongyue’s question, Su Wuduan trembled all over his body as he remembered the potential threat standing behind him. Alarm bells rang in his heart and he stepped forward to block off Cui Er behind him, “Second Junior Brother, although I know that my wife is beautiful, capable of bringing down cities and is loved by all, you just saw it. My wife and I are in love. We are happy and agreeable, you can’t s.n.a.t.c.h her from your Senior Brother, otherwise…”
Before the unwarranted words fell, Su Wuduan felt a cold aura behind him and a bright sword reached over again.
“Who did you say is in love with you?”
“…”
“Pu ha ha ha…” Yun Zhongyue collapsed backwards. He burst into laughter, “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is really a big misunderstanding Senior Brother!”
“Misunderstanding?”
“Yes, it’s a misunderstanding! Senior Brother, I wasn’t talking about that girl behind you.” Yun Zhong Yue coughed lightly. In his heart, he thought, this kind of valiant martial artist, I do not want to receive that kind of blessing!
“Not my wife, then what you said…”
Suddenly when Su Wuduan wanted to ask for an explanation…
“Ahhhhhhh…” Yun Zhongyue wanted to explain but heard a sharp scream, then a strong wind rushed from behind. Panicking, he hurriedly rolled to the side.
In the next second, the place where he was sitting was smashed by a long bamboo pole.
“!” Oh shoot, what soul would dare to destroy public property under our noses? Do they want to die! The expressions of everyone in the room changed. They all turned their eyes to the perpetrator. Then…
“…”
“Ahhhhh…. I’m going to beat this food stealing thief, how dare you steal this aunt’s food. I spent a lot of time and effort making it specially for Niang Niang, the little prince and the little princess, yet all of it went into the belly of this little thief? It’s disgusting! Moreover… moreover, because of you, I misunderstood Xiao Bai! Unforgivable!”
“…” Forget the previous ones, the last one has nothing to do with me!
“Wowowo…” Xiao Bai, who heard Lu Rui’s words, immediately shouted loudly, expressing his agreement. Yes, it’s that little thief who stole the food, yet she accused this uncle?! Lu Rui Jiejie, hurry! Hurry and beat this stealing thief to death!
“…So, Junior Brother, the girl in your mouth that stole your stomach and along the way, grabbed your heart, is that…her?” Su Wuduan listened to Lu Rui’s scolding and asked stiffly.
Xia Yuqing’s actions stopped. Holding the second baby, she took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the plate on the side and put it into her mouth, then concisely summed up: “So, this is caused by mistaken sweethearts?”
“…”
“…”
“You come down!” Lu Rui pulled the bamboo pole on the roof back with one hand on her hip.
Yun Zhongyue quietly wiped the cold sweat on his head: “Well, Lady Lu Rui, I really didn’t steal it on purpose. The things you made were so delicious and I couldn’t hold back…. Can you take it upon the fact that I like you so much…… and forgive me in regard to the food? Just this one time? Next time …… next time I won’t dare do it again!”
Next time he will just directly marry someone back to cook for him, so there would be no need to steal!
“According to Second Brother, if a bandit robbed a group of escorts and killed everyone and he told those escorts that he had no choice because the items were too dazzling, they couldn’t resist the temptation, those bandits… should they be forgiven? Just like that?”
“…” Junior Sister, Senior Brother has no grievances with you, why do you have to kick me when I’m already down? Can’t we just happily be fellow apprentices?!
“Huh, next time? Do you dare to have a next time? Not coming down? If you don’t come down, I’ll stab you down! D*mn little thief, if I don’t beat you up today, you really won’t know how flowers blossom (how wounds/gashes spread apart/ open)!” As she said this, Lu Rui lifted up the bamboo pole in her hand and began to hit the roof where Yun Zhongyue was located. Yun Zhongyue jumped continuously.
The people under the roof stared blankly at the tiles above their heads flying all over the sky, completely petrified.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Rui was panting with one hand on her hip, while Yun Zhongyue on the roof was also panting.
Seeing that Lu Rui who slowed down wanted to go at it again, Yun Zhongyue could see the situation was getting worse. He hurriedly leaped forward and fled.
“Where did the little thief run to?” Seeing Yun Zhongyue fly down, Lu Rui threw away the long bamboo pole in her hand and replaced it with another shorter but thicker bamboo pole, chasing after him.
“Hey, d*mn, Second Junior Brother, don’t run to me!” Seeing Yun Zhong Yue running towards him, Su Wuduan had a bad premonition grow in his heart.
Sure enough, in the next second, he saw a thick bamboo pole swinging towards him.
Su Wuduan’’s complexion changed. He hurriedly moved to the side to avoid the head-on blow. He wiped the cold sweat on his head: “Miss Lurui, you made a mistake. The person is there, go hit him, aim properly!”
Unexpectedly, Lu Rui snorted very unappreciatively. She drew the bamboo pole back with a sneer: “That’s right, you and the little thief are in the same group, neither are good people. This Jiejie will beat you both!”
“…” Why is there such a brutal and unreasonable girl under Junior Sister? Getting attacked for no reason, he really has more grievances than Dou E!
Hit, hit, hit, hit! If Lao Zi does not show off his power, are you treating this Lao Zi as a sick cat in a tiger’s skin? Watch me…
Su Wuduan meeting misfortune for no reason raised his hand to resist, when he heard a familiar sneer: “Lu Rui, take it easy, don’t hurt yourself.”
“Okay, Cui Er Jie Jie.”
“……” Originally acc.u.mulating a pile of grievances and was ready to explode, Su Wuduan became like this…… the girl in front of him was his wife’s good sister. If she was hurt, his wife would never forgive him!
Therefore, under Lu Rui’s indiscriminate beating, the people fleeing turned from one to two.
“Second…Second Junior Brother, this is the girl you like? Your taste is really heavy.” I never thought that one day I would be chased all over the palace by a woman holding a bamboo pole and this woman isn’t even my own wife!
Yun Zhongyue, who had just had a protracted tug of war with Su Wuduan just now, and being chased by Lu Rui and beaten pa.s.sively, he was a little unhappy. However, after hearing Su Wuduan’s words, he couldn’t help but chuckle. Looking at Cui Er who was sitting on the sidelines not far away, he sneered: “That point, Senior Brother, you are no better.”
“…” Su Wuduan was startled and cleared his throat, “Junior Brother’s remarks are off. My wife might appear frosty and repel people a thousand miles away, but in fact, her heart is full of pa.s.sion and is difficult to restrain ……”
Cui Er watched as Su Wuduan bragged in front of Yun Zhongyue. He kept boasting about how magnificent and charming she was and how head over heels he was with her. So when she wanted to go forward and help Lu Rui, before the idea was fully born, it was strangled in the cradle. She turned around and coldly dropped a sentence: “Idiot!”
“Senior Brother, sister-in-law is gone.” Yun Zhong Yue cried out and interrupted Su Wuduan’s long story.
Su Wuduan turned his head and looked at the back of Cui Er who was leaving. He hurriedly exclaimed: “Wife, wait for me.”
It was not Cui Er’s smile that responded to him, but a wave of a bamboo pole.
“Want to run? Ask the pole in my hand first.”
“…Little Junior Sister, take care of your girl!” Su Wuduan’s wailing did not do anything. At this moment, all of Xia Yuqing’s attention was lost as something else attracted her attention.
“Gege…mu…muhou……” (sounds like royal mother) The sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Xia Yuqing’s hand fell to the ground with a snap. It stopped after rolling on the ground several times.
“Dun Dun, you know how to talk? Say it again, say it again!” Xia Yuqing picked up the second baby on her lap. They faced each other, and she had a look of expectation: “Come, say it with me, royal mother…”
The second baby’s big eyes rolled around, then she smiled: “M…mother?”
“Wow, she really talked! And the first person she called is me, wow kakakaka. It was not in vain that I talked to second bun every day. So cute, come on, again…”
Second bun was gnawed several times by Xia Yuqing and giggled. She clapped her hands with joy. Then she tried to take a peek at something. Turning her head hard, she seemed to want to pounce in a certain direction. She kept shouting: “Gege…gege…”
Xia Yuqing tilted her head in confusion, wondering: “Dun Dun, what are you doing? This is very dangerous. Behave, don’t move.”
However, the second baby, who has always been well-behaved and obedient, was surprisingly persistent this time. She constantly leaned forward.
Xia Yuqing had nothing else she could do. She had to look in the direction where the second baby was leaning towards, but what she saw was a big baby who just woke up in the rocking chair.
“Dun Dun, you want to be with your brother?”
The big black and white eyes of the second baby rolled around. She sucked her fingers for a moment, as if thinking about the meaning of Xia Yuqing’s words, then after a long while, she seemed to understand something. She touched her little hands together and nodded happily.
Although Xia Yuqing was reluctant to give up, she still put the second baby in the big baby’s rocking chair as she wished.
As soon as the second baby took a seat, she happily moved her little b.u.t.t and rushed towards the big baby. Her two short fat hands were waving towards the big baby expectantly.
The big baby also opened his arms very cooperatively. After only a while, the two buns were wrapped together like a big round rice dumpling, hugging each other tightly.
With a pop, the second baby nestled in the big baby’s arms and chewed on the big baby’s round face. Holding the big baby’s neck with both hands, she refused to let go. She opened her mouth and laughed: “Ge ge… …Brother… Mother, Brother (gege means older brother, but it was written using different words that sounded like it and wasn’t saying brother until now)!”
“!” Xia Yuqing stared blankly at what the second baby had done. She was petrified on the spot, then she saw the big baby holding the second baby tightly. Then he did an action similar to Feng Tingye, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at herself provocatively.
In an instant, Xia Yuqing felt lightning slamming down on her head. Her gla.s.s heart was shattered with a click! Ahh, why did she give birth to such a hateful brat, how could you treat your elders like this? Let go of your sister, I promise not to hit you! Woo woo woo…
It turns out that the second baby could speak a long time ago, but they didn’t find out…
It turns out that the second baby’s first name called wasn’t herself, but big baby…
It turns out that second baby and big baby have long been secretly communicating, and she didn’t even know it!
The most important thing is that she was looked down upon by her eldest baby! Oh, don’t stop me, I can’t calm down!
At Xiefang Hall, there were people who were happy and some worried, but on the other side of the palace, the atmosphere was unexpectedly solemn.
“Have you investigated it properly?” Feng Tingye turned his back to several people. He stared at the secret letter engraved with a white and blue cloud on the desk.
“The rumors in Jiang Hu about Yun Zhongyue are all odd and weird, but none really mention his family background. This person has been very mysterious since entering Jiang Hu, his origin and life experience are almost blank. Nowadays, the information that is spread across Jiang Hu are all speculations. Spreading lies to distort the truth, it’s hard to know what to believe. This Minister has thought about doing something to Su Wuduan, but his origins aren’t simple. If we really check it, we would only find out how his mother’s status in Miaojiang is precious. Chen is scared if we rush to ask, we will alert the enemy.”
Feng Tingye turned his head: “In other words, after investigating for so long, you haven’t found anything?”
Shao Zitang’s face changed slightly: “This minister is incompetent.”
Feng Tingye stopped talking. He tapped the tabletop with his slender fingers. With his back facing the crowd, nothing could be seen. This made everyone feel an indescribable pressure.
For a while, only the m.u.f.fled sound of fingers tapping on the tabletop could be heard in the Royal Study Room. After a while, Feng Tingye stopped his movements. He turned around and looked at Shao Zitang, “You only know that he is a person of Jiang Hu, so you started searching within Jiang Hu. Have you never thought that he might not be a simple Jiang Hu person.”
Shao Zitang was stunned. He glanced at the people beside him, tentatively: “Your Majesty means…”
Feng Tingye glanced at Shao Zitang in his peripheral: “Don’t you think the name Yun Zhongyue is similar to someone else’s name?”
“It’s similar to someone else’s name?” Yun Zhongyue …..Yun Zhongyue …… Yun…… Zhong…..” Shao Zitang mumbled Yun Zhongyue’s name, then his eyes shone. He seemed to understand something and his face slightly changed: “This minister will go check. ”
“No need!” Feng Tingye stopped Shao Zitang’s movements with a chuckle. He tapped the secret letter on his desk with a smile, “Coincidence? It is inevitable that someone will reveal it to us soon.”
Several people in the room looked at the peculiar pattern of a certain country’s royal family’s secret letter on the desk. A light flashed across their eyes, and they nodded silently.
Feng Tingye was silent for a moment, then casually tossed the secret letter aside. He s.h.i.+fted to another topic: “What happened to Xue Country recently?”
“That kid, Yin Xiang, has returned to the Xue Capital with Enqing. It’s unclear what he said to the Xue King. Anyways, the marriage between the royal family and the Guanlong n.o.bles won’t happen.” Shao Zitang gave a cold snort after he finished speaking. Abducting his person without the consent of their elders, Shao Zitang, the youngest male cousin in his generation (referring to his family), can be said to have no good feelings at all. If he hadn’t thought about the overall situation, he would have rushed to Xue country alone to teach this kid a lesson!
“The marriage between the royal family and the Guanlong n.o.ble family is done. Now the relations.h.i.+p between the two parties has become more and more rigid. Among them… the two idiot princes should have played a big role?” Feng Tingye sat back again.
“Well, I heard that since the marriage between the two parties had failed, Xue King was deeply displeased. It wasn’t unexpected that the two idiots would publicize their personal revenge in front of the Xue King still. They said a lot of bad things about Yin Xiang. Now, the Xue Kingdom and Gonglong n.o.bles’ friendly relations.h.i.+p can be regarded as being nominal only.”
“The royal family does not want to be controlled by others, and the n.o.bles of Guanlong do not want to be targeted by their owner and have an unnatural death. In addition, the King of Xue country is licentious. Each prince that follows is dumber than the previous. The Xue Kingdom’s imperial family is at their end. On the contrary, the Guanlong n.o.bles have been able to recuperate and rejuvenate these past few years and have a better chance of winning. Thinking about it this way, their conflicts have already intensified to the climax and will erupt sooner or later. We were just a small push.”
Shao Zitang glanced at Feng Tingye and asked in a low voice, “Then what should we do now?”
“Wait.”
“Wait?”
Feng Tingye’s eyes had an obvious chill: “Yes, wait. Wait for this endless battle of endurance. Whoever can not control themselves first, will bear the charge of being condemned by history!”
When Feng Tingye discussed these important matters, outside the imperial palace and outside the capital, a seemingly low-key ordinary carriage drove slowly into the gate of the city, then it finally stopped in front of a relatively secluded inn.
When the carriage parked, servants dressed as youngsters had already come out of the inn: “Master, everything has been arranged in place, please follow this servant to rest.”
The voice only came out for a second before a chilly voice came out of the carriage: “How is her situation?”
The young man was stunned. He bowed his head respectfully and replied: “Everything is fine.”
“En.” The person in the carriage paused and responded softly. Reaching out, they opened the curtain and slowly walked out of the carriage.
Even though this inn was relatively remote, many people were still walking on the streets as it was almost noon. At the moment the young man walked out of the carriage, everyone walking on the road seemed to be them frozen in place.
It was a beautiful young man incomparable to the locals. He was peerless and more graceful than any woman. He was capable of being the downfall of numerous countries. It was a beautiful face without any flaws. Placed on a young man’s face, it was interesting that there was no feminine aura on his body, instead there was a bit of a heroism that a woman did not have. It was enchanting causing admiration from many hearts.
The most beautiful woman in this world had to show off her posture and grace when she confused people’s hearts, but this young man in front didn’t need that at all. He who possessed an advantage in appearance that ordinary people can’t have, he only needs to make one move and countless people would fall at his feet. They would live and die for him.
But now, the young man who didn’t know the impact his appearance had brought to others, had his whole body and mind invested in the faintly visible red wall and green tiles in the distance. Then…the corners of his lips were slowly raised, he was looking forward to something.
