She was wearing a red wedding gown that day, and she flashed past his eyes . Feng Xuanyuan clenched his teeth involuntarily, and his tone had a cruelty in it that he didn’t even notice: “From now on, he will no longer be your husband!”
After being stunned by his inexplicable words, Yu Linglong snorted coldly: “Feng Xuanyuan, don’t forget, the emperor ordered me to marry him . You cannot determine anything about the princess he selected!”
Feng Xuanyuan’s body trembled suddenly, and he said angrily: “You are not someone’s princess, you can only be mine!”
She was the person Feng Xuanyuan had his heart set on, so she couldn’t be someone else’s wife! Even if she became Princess Xu, he didn’t care!
Her fists clenched by his childlike savage att.i.tude . Yu Linglong retorted unceremoniously: “What do you think you are talking about?”
As soon as her voice fell, he had grabbed her slender shoulders . Feng Xuanyuan’s cold face was full of violent emotions at this moment, and the red dot between his brows was like a drop of blood that burst out of his eyes .
“Yes, that’s what I said!”
His long and narrow eyes stared at her fiercely, as if he would crush her to pieces in the next moment .
Yu Linglong raised her small face and met his fierce gaze without fear . Her eyes were sharp: “Feng Xuanyuan, if you let me go now, maybe I will let him save you…”
Raising her hand, she broke off the fingers he pinched her shoulder with, and said coldly: “Otherwise, even if your Blue Lotus Cult is all over the world, it will not be able to stop his army!”
Feng Xuanyuan looked up to the sky and laughed: “Funny! Do you think he can command nine battalions and twelve guards if he is canonized?”
Yu Linglong didn’t refute but just looked at him coldly, with an arrogant expression, as if looking at a fool who couldn’t help himself .
Feng Xuanyuan’s brazen laughter gradually died down, and his gaze at her became sharp: “What exactly do you know?”
Yu Linglong sat down slowly, raised her eyes to look at him, and said word by word: “It’s not the first day you played against him . Can’t you guess the connection here?”
She still remembered what Lord Xu once said to her . The last time Gan Lin was kidnapped by the Blue Lotus Cult was a trap planned by Lord Xu, and she immediately thought of the reason for Feng Xuanyuan’s abnormal behavior at the beginning .
From the moment the Blue Lotus cultists were hunted in the capital, Feng Xuanyuan should have realized that this was a huge trap, so he would tell a stranger like Yu Linglong where Gan Lin was imprisoned and made a decision to release him . This didn’t make the Blue Lotus Cult fall into a disaster .
She still remembered that on the cliff that day, Feng Xuanyuan once said that they had fallen into a bigger conspiracy .
This conspiracy referred to the trap set by Lord Xu . The Blue Lotus Cult was all over the country, and Feng Xuanyuan was not an ordinary person . They should have discovered Lord Xu’s ident.i.ty a long time ago, so they would be more careful . This was why Feng Xuanyuan was here . The reason he came to hijack the sedan chair on the day of her wedding to Lord Xu was that he wanted to use Yu Linglong to force Lord Xu to show up and trigger a fight between Lord Xu and the crown prince .
This insidious strategy can only be imagined by a person like Feng Xuanyuan .
Hearing her meaningful words, Feng Xuanyuan looked at her with a little scrutiny: “You mean, the emperor’s canonization of his official position is not a false t.i.tle?”
If this was the case, then Lord Xu really had the strength of nine battalions and twelve guards, and Blue Lotus Cult will no longer be able to compete with it .
Yu Linglong sneered . Her att.i.tude seemed to be acquiescence in Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes .
Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes were getting cold, and Feng Xuanyuan snorted coldly, and said, “Do you really believe that he will use the nine battalions and twelve guards for a woman?”
Yu Linglong smiled faintly and said three words loudly .
“I trust him!”
Looking at those extremely determined eyes, Feng Xuanyuan was stunned .
There were two blushes on her face . Her eyes were shining, and her face was filled with the radiance of trust, a beauty he had never seen before .
Unfortunately, her beauty is only because of another man, not because of him .
A complex taste suddenly appeared in his heart, and Feng Xuanyuan suddenly turned around and kicked the red wooden table behind him .
The heavy table flew up swiftly and hit the back wall . There was a m.u.f.fled bang, and the huge table was broken and turned into a pile of fragments .
“Then just wait here and see when he will come and rescue you!”
Feng Xuanyuan dropped these words and strode out of the room without looking back .
Yu Linglong sat quietly on the couch . The candlelight in the room was blown out by Feng Xuanyuan’s strong wind that just kicked off the table, and she just sat in the darkness, motionless .
When there was hope in her heart, even if she was in the dark, she still had light to guide her . This, she firmly believed .
…
Yu Linglong didn’t wait too long . When the gray light leaked from the door, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a panicked voice: “Master, the mountain is surrounded, all around are human beings, they look like…like guards from the capital!”
Upon hearing these words, Yu Linglong stood up suddenly .
He is here, he really is here!
Before she could reach the door, the door was pushed aside, and an angry Feng Xuanyuan appeared at the door, giving her a look of surprise .
The long and narrow eyes were full of complex emotions: shock, anger, mania, viciousness, jealousy, all kinds of emotions interlaced were in his eyes, making him look extraordinarily depressed .
Looking at Feng Xuanyuan’s tight face, Yu Linglong slowly stopped .
She looked straight at Feng Xuanyuan, and said coldly: “Between the Blue Lotus Cult and me, which one do you choose?”
Looking at her slender figure, Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes felt a twitch, and his pupils suddenly tightened .
Which one should he choose!?
On the one hand was the Blue Lotus Cult, who he was responsible for, and on the other hand, his beloved woman who he was unwilling to let go . As a man, should he choose responsibility or emotion?
He took pains to bring her here, should he let go like this?
Seeing his fixed eyes, Yu Linglong sighed slightly .
“Now let me go, there’s still time . ”
In the morning light, the tall figure moved slightly, as if being awakened yet stunned by her words .
Behind him were the chaotic footsteps of countless Blue Lotus cultists looking for a place to hide, the crying of children being frightened and suppressed, the anxious voices of leaders eagerly discussing countermeasures, and all the trusting gazes condensed on his back . It was the life of thousands of religious people, the promise and burden that he cannot let go of in this life .
After a long time, Feng Xuanyuan spoke heavily .
“Go . ”
Yu Linglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the room .
The first ray of morning light on the top of the mountain cast on her face, and Yu Linglong, who had been sitting in the dark room all night, couldn’t help narrowing her eyes .
Before she could adjust to the light outside, she heard many surprise voices: “Saint! Leader!”
Yu Linglong was taken aback for a while . She still couldn’t get used to this name, because in her heart, she never regarded herself as the Blue Lotus saint .
But at this moment, reb.u.t.tal seemed meaningless . Yu Linglong just nodded lightly and was dragged out by Feng Xuanyuan with a stern face .
Yu Linglong couldn’t help being a little surprised when she heard the faint footsteps behind her . She didn’t expect that these Blue Lotus cultists would have such trust in the Blue Lotus saint . Even if powerful enemies were waiting outside, they were still bold and followed behind her and Feng Xuanyuan .
At the moment, she had no intention to stop those who were following them . She only thought about the person she was about to see . She had been missing for so long, was he worried?
On the rugged mountain road, Feng Xuanyuan didn’t say a word, nor did he stop the congregation behind him . He just pulled her and walked out .
From a distance, she could already see those strong, black-clothed people, standing in a serious formation at the bottom of the mountain . It seemed that once they were ordered, they would immediately launch an attack on the mountain .
Seeing that he was about to reach the place of the men in black, Feng Xuanyuan suddenly stopped .
Yu Linglong had good physical strength, but she was dragged by him all the way and sighed slightly . When she stopped, she suddenly realized that the nearby scenery was so familiar . This was actually the Cuihua Mountain where she rescued Gan Lin, and it was also the place where she first encountered Feng Xuanyuan and Lord Xu fighting .
She couldn’t help feeling a pang of grief in her heart . She didn’t expect that she just came to pick up Lady Yu and she would meet such two unparalleled men in the world, which changed her life . If it weren’t for that random encounter, maybe she would be just an ordinary general’s illegitimate daughter, living an ordinary and worry-free life .
This thought was fleeting, and the next moment, she was attracted by a familiar figure .
A tall and straight figure was sitting on the horse, standing at the forefront of the black-clothed men’s team . His black cloak was flying in the wind, and the dazzling silver eagle came out from the corner of the robe .
In the light of dawn, his figure was tall and strong, full of rea.s.suring power .
Although it was only one night, Yu Linglong suddenly felt that she hadn’t seen him for a long, long time .
Seeing her safe and sound, a surprise flashed across Lord Xu’s eyes . He didn’t even have time to say anything . With a kick on his feet, he flew directly from the horse and jumped in front of them .
Seeing him suddenly standing up, Feng Xuanyuan cried out in a deep voice, “Don’t come here!”
Yu Linglong only felt that the back of her neck was tight, and her skin was covered with a big hot hand, but she didn’t feel upset .
He obviously wanted to use Yu Linglong as a hostage to threaten Lord Xu .
Lord Xu stood at a distance from them and waved his big hand back, stopping the advance of the guards .
His deep eyes hovered greedily on Yu Linglong’s face for a moment, making sure that she was unharmed, and then he whispered: “Linglong, don’t be afraid . ”
Hearing his slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but sense a touch of distress . Lord Xu’s face was a little haggard . Apparently he was awake all night, leading people to Cuihua Mountain .
“I’m okay . ” As if she didn’t feel the big hand tightly on her neck, Yu Linglong showed a gentle smile, signaling Lord Xu to rest a.s.sured .
In the sunshine, her pretty face was as bright as spring flowers, which made him feel extremely distressed .
Until this time, his Linglong was still so calm, just because he was worried .
Looking at Feng Xuanyuan’s body, losing all the temperature in an instant, Lord Xu said coldly, “Master Feng, what do you want?”
He didn’t stupidly demand that Feng Xuanyuan let her go, but as soon as he scanned the situation in front of him, Lord Xu understood that Feng Xuanyuan was about to negotiate terms with him .
Seeing the affectionate gaze of Lord Xu and Yu Linglong, Feng Xuanyuan’s face was filled with pain, but then he immediately concealed his emotions, revealing a faint smile .
“Will you give me everything I want?” The corners of his thin lips twitched, looking evil and charming in the morning light, “Then I want her!”
The big hand gently pushed Yu Linglong forward, without exerting any force, but a burst of anger suddenly rose on the cold face of Lord Xu: “Impossible!”
Feng Xuanyuan smiled to the sky, raised Yu Linglong’s chin with the other hand, and seemed to caress it frivolously, and whispered in a voice that only the three of them could hear: “Yu Lieyang, do you want her to live or die!?”
Lord Xu squeezed his big hands, and his voice was colder than ever before: “Feng Xuanyuan, if you dare to hurt her, I will ma.s.sacre Cuihua Mountain!”
Yu Linglong couldn’t help feeling warm when she heard his loud voice . She didn’t know that she was so important to him, so important that he would not hesitate to kill thousands of people for her .
Feng Xuanyuan stroked her for a while and seemed to be shocked by Lord Xu’s words . Although he knew that Lord Xu had a special liking for Yu Linglong, Feng Xuanyuan did not expect that Yu Linglong held such an important position in his heart .
Feeling Feng Xuanyuan’s distraction, Yu Linglong seized this fleeting opportunity, and slammed her elbow backward, hitting his chest where he had been bitten by her yesterday . Taking advantage of Feng Xuanyuan’s pain, she turned around sharply and immediately rushed in the direction of Lord Xu .
She knew that she couldn’t beat Feng Xuanyuan with her skills, so she could only use this method to divert Feng Xuanyuan’s attention and win a chance for herself to escape .
What a character Feng Xuanyuan was . It was naturally impossible for her to escape like this easily, but he stretched out his big hand quickly, and quickly grabbed at her!
But Lord Xu moved faster . The moment he saw Yu Linglong move, Lord Xu immediately moved, too . When Feng Xuanyuan grabbed Yu Linglong, he had already grabbed her and held her in his arms!
All this happened in a flash . Before everyone could see what was going on, Yu Linglong was held tightly by Lord Xu, as if no matter what happened, they could no longer separate .
Falling into that warm and familiar embrace, Yu Linglong’s heart that was alert all night finally relaxed .
Sniffing his faint mint scent deeply, Yu Linglong involuntarily stretched out her arm to hug him . This was the first time she felt that she was so dependent on someone . Even if the world fell apart, she would not be separated from him .
Feng Xuanyuan’s hands stopped stiffly in the air, and a pair of long, narrow eyes fixedly looked at the two people standing next to each other, as if they were stuck in a pose, and he could no longer look away .
The boundless sunrise stretched across Yu Linglong and Lord Xu . The figures of the lovers looked so perfect and harmonious that he couldn’t bear to destroy them, and he couldn’t destroy them .
