Chapter 104 Act Thirteen Star Flow Transforms Four
The next day, General Tsing Yi came to the wine shop again. Not only did he pay back the money he owed for the wine the day before, he also doubled it. The owner of the wine shop smiled brightly when he looked at the gold baht placed on the table, and immediately ordered Leng Jiayun
He went to the back hall to get a few more jars of aged Qingli roast to entertain the distinguished guests. But Xiang Baili waved his hand, saying no:
"Stay here, girl, I have something to say to you."
The Dongli girl suddenly became nervous. She didn't know what the other person was going to say. She turned to look at her adoptive father and saw that he was just standing aside with a smile, so she boldly sat down.
"It is really presumptuous for Xiang to visit today. Unfortunately, after returning to the camp yesterday, I feel more and more that the girl is pure-hearted and honest. She is not talented at all and does not understand the etiquette of Yizhou, but he still has the courage to ask the girl if she is a wife or married.
Are you engaged?"
The young general stood tall and suddenly gave Leng Jiayun a big salute with his fists clasped.
"what you up to?"
Only then did the wine shop owner realize that the young man came today not just to repay the wine money he owed on credit. He jumped in before the girl on the side could answer. The flattering smile before had no time to take it back and gradually froze on her face.
"I'm sorry. You are the adoptive father of this girl, so I should ask you. As I said below, if the girl has no engagement, then Xiang wants to propose marriage today and marry the girl soon." Xiang Baili.
Then he bowed respectfully to the shopkeeper.
The words of the young general made Leng Jiayun's little face turn red instantly, and she felt shy and happy at the same time. She didn't expect that the second meeting she had envisioned in her mind countless times would actually come.
The young hero proposed straightforwardly. She never thought that the opportunity that thousands of young girls in the city dreamed of would now luckily fall on her. However, she suddenly hesitated and didn't know how to answer:
"I-I'm not engaged, but you-you don't know my name yet-"
"It won't work even if I know! I bought you at a huge price. If I don't agree, I can't leave here!" The wine shop owner went crazy and pulled the girl behind him.
"Why? I am not your biological child, and you have never treated me as your own daughter. Now that someone wants to marry me, why do you need your approval?"
For the first time in her life, the Dongli girl contradicted her adoptive father, which made the wine shop owner so angry that the veins on her forehead suddenly bulged. He grabbed her arm and roared:
"To tell you the truth, your biological parents sold you to me as a child bride! When you come of age in October this year, I will marry you as your mother-in-law! Anyone who wants to take you away will have trouble with me!
"
"I wasn't the one you bought to be your daughter?!" Leng Jiayun's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The wine shop owner grinned, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "What? Who said that the daughter you bought cannot be married as a mother-in-law when she grows up? It was clearly written in the deed of sale back then. If you want to
It’s strange, it’s your fault that your biological father and mother are illiterate!”
There was a sudden "buzzing" sound in the girl's head. In the blink of an eye, the whole world she knew fell apart, and she felt like the world was spinning. The girl never expected that the man in front of her, whom she had always feared like a father since she was a child, would actually
He is a shameless person who behaves so despicably.
Xiang Baili, who stood aside and witnessed all this, finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "How much money did you spend on buying her?"
"Don't even think about it! If I let her go, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to marry my wife again in this life. No matter how much money you offer, I won't agree!" the wine shop owner yelled angrily, foaming at the mouth. Splashing, the green ginseng was sprayed all over his body.
"Don't you ask first, how much money do I plan to pay for her freedom? Here is my entire salary for this year, no more, no less, exactly one hundred gold baht." Xiang Baili said and pulled out of his arms. He took out a small sheepskin bag. The bag was bulging with stuffing and looked very heavy.
"I won't sell it for any amount of money!" The wine shop owner hesitated for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and shook his head.
"Store, I advise you not to push yourself too far. This hundred gold baht is probably more than what your wine shop can earn in a few years. I would like to remind you that according to the law of promotion, For example, buying and selling virgins privately is a serious crime. No matter what the local customs are in Yizhou, as long as it is still under the jurisdiction of Dasheng, you are not allowed to violate the law, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
The young man in green suddenly changed his previous friendly attitude, and his words became obviously more threatening.
The owner of the wine shop was a rough man. He didn't expect that his words would be used as leverage by the other party. For a moment, he couldn't say even a single word. His face became more and more ugly, and the veins on his forehead swelled up and down. He couldn't help but finally gave in, grabbed the small sheepskin bag on the table, pointed at Leng Jiayun's nose and cursed:
"Bitch! Get out! You are never allowed to return to this home again!"
But at this time, for the girl Dongli, this wine shop that was once her whole world was no longer so important. She looked at the upright Xiang Baili in front of her and nodded affectionately:
"If I don't go back, I won't go back. I've long been tired of staying in this hellish place!"
Seeing this situation, General Qingyi, who had been so eloquent just now, suddenly showed a bright smile like a child: "Girl, are you - do you agree?"
"Besides agreeing to you, do I have any other choice?" The girl in front of me smiled sweetly.
"That's great! It's just that I don't know the girl's name yet."
"My name is Leng Jiayun. Oh, by the way, you left this with me yesterday -"
The girl suddenly remembered something and hurriedly turned around and went to the back room to take out an official boot. She blushed and handed it to the other person's hand:
"I've mended all the holes in your boots for you."
Xiang Baili laughed in embarrassment and quickly took the shoes:
"After I woke up last night, I said that I didn't know where my boots had been lost. It turned out that I had left them here. It was just an old boot. Why did the girl have to mend it for me and dirty her hands..."
"It doesn't matter if you mend your husband's boots. It's just that they don't seem to fit well. I'll just make a new pair for you in the future."
Leng Jiayun shook her head, took the other person's arm and walked out of the store, her face filled with incomparable happiness.
"You-don't you even need to clean it up?"
The young man in Tsing Yi did not expect that the Dongli girl would be so decisive. Although he was happy in his heart, he still felt a little hot on his face under the gazes and pointing fingers of passers-by.
"No, anyway, there is nothing in this winery that is worthy of nostalgia. There is only this pottery xun - it was brought with me when I was a baby, but it is a pity that no one knows how to blow it."
As she spoke, the girl took off a dark brown egg-shaped object from her waist. Unexpectedly, she stretched out her hand to Baili and took it. After looking at it for a while, she put it to her lips and played a simple and distant song.
of songs.
"So you can play it! Then - I'll give it to you."
Leng Jiayun giggled, tapping her feet to the beat of the music and jumping on the road. This seemed to be the funniest laugh she had had in the many years since she was sold into the wine shop. General Qing Yi followed her.
Behind him, he watched the excited girl with fascination, playing even harder...
Six months after that, Ye Fufeng died of his injuries and died in Yeli City. Before his death, he was still extremely concerned about Qingwan, thousands of miles away, and the safety of thousands of followers there. From this famous man
According to the pirates all over the world, newlyweds Xiang Baili and Leng Jiayun finally understood the past of Qingwan City and solemnly promised that their elder brother would fulfill his legacy.
The young couple bowed to Ye Fufeng's cold corpse on the couch and could not kneel for a long time. In the next few years, Xiang Baili successfully left the Ye Kingdom and secretly recruited the old troops who had escaped from Qingwan to his subordinates. Finally, he found a
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he led a group of sailors without hesitation and sailed towards the vast ocean, taking Ye Fufeng's ashes with him towards Qingwan City hidden deep in the Chanying Sea.
To this day, Leng Jiayun still clearly remembers the warm sea breeze and the dazzling warm sun on the day she went to sea. Until that moment, the Dongli girl was not sure whether she could really reach Qingwan City. After all, the ocean to the west of Jinghui Bay
, for anyone who has never been to the sea, it represents confusion and death.
On the deck, the Dongli girl hugged her husband's waist from behind and pressed her side face against his broad back. She could clearly feel his heartbeat and the slight trembling from her fingertips:
"Baili, tell me, what should we do if we get nothing from this trip, or even never come back?"
"Xiaojia, as long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything!" General Qingyi looked at the vast expanse of blue waves ahead, his tone full of endless tenderness, "Besides, isn't there the sea chart that big brother gave me? No matter how
No matter what happens, as long as I live with Xiang Baili, I will never let you encounter the slightest danger!"
Leng Jiayun nodded and kept quiet. She didn't ask any more questions. Because she knew that the man she fell in love with was an upright hero, and she could follow him with confidence, even to the ends of the world. And since she agreed to marry him at the wine shop,
From that moment on, no hardships or hardships can scare me.
Even death...
"Xiaojia, forget me..."
In the haze, the Dongli woman seemed to hear someone speaking in her ear. She opened her eyes, pushed away the bottomed wine jar in her arms, and looked around.
Here, it was still the palace of the Kingdom of Fu. She didn’t know how long she had been asleep, but through the moonlight, she suddenly saw a figure standing outside her door. The figure was covered in aquamarine robes, with a slit on the corner of his lips.
Beard, face like spring breeze.
That was the unruly young man who was once famous all over the world and whom he fell in love with at first sight. He was also the military commander who had always been in front of the Yeguodian Palace during his military life. He was also the man who for more than 20 years had never looked back and carried forward with a heavy burden just for a promise.
An unparalleled hero. A man of iron bones who is willing to die generously for the people he cares about for his own perseverance and belief.
The figure in front of her gradually faded into the night and disappeared into nothingness. Leng Jiayun didn't know what kind of result she wanted to achieve by constantly recalling the past and torturing herself with sadness every night. But she knew that the only thing she wanted to achieve was
Only in this way can you ease the endless thoughts in your heart.
"Baili, you make it easy. Even if these twenty years are just a dream, I will never forget it..."
The woman in purple lowered her long eyelashes, her face covered with tears. In the night wind, she picked up a jar of unopened new wine beside her, raised her head and drank.
While Leng Jiayun drank to drown his sorrows, Qi Ziyin went alone to ask for an audience with Hai Qiuyang, the leader of the Fu Kingdom. The purpose of his request was to bid farewell to him.
"Young Master said that he wants to set off as soon as possible? Could it be that Hai Mou's hospitality these days is not good enough?"
Hai Qiuyang was handling a yellow bird in his hand, and he seemed a little careless at first. But suddenly he heard that the boy in white was about to leave, so he immediately stuffed the bird into the cage.
"What did the Duke of Fu say? Thanks to you for taking care of me these days, Ziyin must keep this kindness in mind." Qi Ziyin bowed deeply to the other party.
"Then why are you leaving? Are you worried about those two Ye Kingdom assassins who may not even exist?"
"That's not the case. Just because we have been bothering you for too long, hiding in Yunzhi City in the future is not a long-term solution."
"Then where are you planning to go next?" Hai Qiuyang asked again after pondering for a moment.
"I sincerely ask the Duke of Fu to lend us a larger sea-going ship."
"A sea ship? What do you want a sea ship for? Do you want to hide on the sea and drift away for the rest of your life?"
"No matter what my fate is in the future, I want to go to the sea to take shelter first. Sister Jia is from Dongli, so we may go south to Yeli and stay in Panhuan for a few days. Or we may go north to Jiushan to see the house left by General Baili.
"
For some reason, Hai Qiuyang, who had always been like a wandering cloud and wild crane, suddenly became very concerned about Young Master Ye Guo's plans. This made Qi Ziyin feel a little uneasy in his heart. He raised his head to look at the other person's face, and saw that
There was an indescribable and strange expression on Zhang's face - there was a hint of doubt and a little bit of undisguised anxiety.
"Since there is no direction, why should we leave in such a hurry? Besides, the Lantern Festival will be in two days. Young Master Ziyin should spend the festival peacefully in the city first. After that, Hai will personally arrange a farewell party for the two of them."
Hai Qiuyang persuaded with a smile, but the expression on his face was extremely stiff, and even he could not notice it. When he said this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
"Then I would like to thank you Duke Fu for your kindness. I am rude to you, so I will resign."
Qi Ziyin bowed again, and then quickly withdrew. However, the other party's reaction just now, as well as the tone of urging him to stay, made the young man more and more suspicious.
The moonlight shone on the face of Young Master Ye Guo, without any warmth. He put his hands to his mouth and breathed, but it was difficult to drive away the chill that was slowly creeping up his spine and reaching the back of his head——
Over the past few days, the comfortable life in the city had made him let down his guard. But at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that no one from Fu, including Mo Zeming, was as reliable as before.
The young man knew that it was time to go back and discuss it with Sister Jia, who was still hungover in the house. Regardless of whether the other party believed his intuition or not, and whether she was willing to listen or not, she had to cheer up as soon as possible.
