Qiu Feng, who was standing outside the study room, was stunned. It took him a while to react to the twists and turns of the bizarre story, "Is this so?"
"Well..."
Chai Chai in the study bared his teeth and said: Li Ang's reputation has been ruined.
Qiu Feng hesitated and said: "Then...I'll bring you some clothes?"
"No, no, no, I'm fine now."
Chai Chai broke the pot and said: "The temperature is suitable. I don't feel comfortable without clothes. It feels very cool and comfortable."
"Okay."
Qiu Feng had no choice but to say: "Then I hang the gift on the door? So you can see it when you open the door."
"Yeah."
Chai Chai heard a rustling sound outside the door.
Qiu Feng hung up the sachet and took half a step back, imagining Li Ang's reaction when he saw the gift. He was a little shy and a little panicked, and said incoherently: "The hangover soup is almost ready. I'll go to the backyard to take a look first."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the backyard.
"Huh..."
Chai Chai breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He had managed to get through it.
However, what gift does Qiu Feng want to give to Li Ang?
Just as she poked her head around and looked out through the crack in the door,
Jialuo sat up drunkenly on the recliner.
Her hair is scruffy, her eyes are sleepy, and her wheat-colored skin is as rosy and shiny from drinking as an apple on the treetop.
"Woo-"
Jialuo let out a short wine burp and looked around drowsily for a while, confirming that he was at Li Ang's house.
Then he lifted up the blanket and staggered towards the study door.
Chai Chai inside the door felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat. Jialuo was an acquired warrior, so he didn’t need to use much force, just a gentle push.
Wooden doors made of ordinary materials will collapse.
Chai Chai hurriedly released his mind power and covered it inside the wooden door.
Fortunately, Jia Luo's pushing of the door did not happen. She leaned against the door frame and whispered: "Li Ang?"
Chai Chai said quickly: "Uh? I'm here."
"I like you."
Jialuo said bluntly, the back of his head gently pressed against the door, and the golden flower-shaped earrings swayed.
"Eh??"
Chai Chai's brain suddenly got stuck and he didn't know how to react.
Jialuo outside the door did not notice the pause inside the door and continued: "The Turkic Wolf Garden was built in imitation of your academy.
Although the grassland territory is large, the number of people is not as large as that of Yu State. In order to compete with the Academy, Langyuan recruits more students and is more cruel.
Everyone, from the children of shepherd slaves to the descendants of the Great Khan, are treated equally.
Before dawn, we would be woken up by cold water and run in circles on the pasture.
During the day and night, I worked hard to study characters, calligraphy, history, military science, and Neo-Confucianism.
Students are divided into three, six or nine grades.
The best-performing class can drink alcohol and eat meat, while those with poorer performance can only eat scraps or even starve.
The teachers often resorted to corporal punishment and scolding, and used whips to openly whip those students who did not seek to make progress, letting everyone see them wailing and screaming.
Every year, or even every month, there are Langyuan students who cannot bear it anymore and quietly walk into the frozen lake and disappear."
Jialuo raised his hand and stroked the wolf fang pendant hanging in front of his neck, and said softly: "They said that this is the necessary price to fight against the Yu State. For every seven inches of Turkic national strength, the Yu State's national strength will increase by one foot. p>
There will eventually be a war between the two countries that will destroy the country and destroy the species.
Only by becoming stronger, and becoming stronger at all costs, can we protect our family, our territory, and the future of our descendants.
The students in Langyuan hated the State of Yu, including me at first, and blamed the State of Yu for everything that happened in Langyuan.
But, ten years, twenty years, thirty years, fifty years.
Langyuan has been established for so long, and the battle has yet to come. There are only disciples who stepped into the frozen lake and disappeared one by one.
Whoever's bed is vacant will be filled by someone new in a few days.
The cycle goes back and forth."
Jialuo paused for a moment, his eyes were blank, and he murmured: "Why is this happening?
Why can't our two countries live in peace?
Break the scimitar into pieces and recast it into a plow,
Remove the armor from the horses and let them run freely.
It is said that the two countries have suffered too much from each other and hate each other so much that in the end only one side can stand.
But those who really suffer,
Not those nobles like the princes and daughters of the Yu Kingdom, the officials of the imperial court, or the Ye Hu, Zhe, and Qin from the Turks who stood on the stage and preached impassionedly.
They are herdsmen and farmers on the border.
In every household, there is the mother’s son, the wife’s husband, and the child’s father.”
Jialuo raised his head, stared at the roof beams, and whispered: "It would be great if there was no war."
"..."
Chai Chai listened silently to Jialuo's words and said softly: "The only lesson that humans can learn from history is that humans never learn from history."
"It's so hard to speak, I can't understand it."
Jialuo shook his head, drank again, and smiled: "To be honest, I really like you. I have liked you almost since you helped me sew my wound.
那天你把边辰沛揍飞之后,我更觉得非你不嫁.
But, it's impossible.
I am the daughter of Lan Tujue, and you are a noble of the Yu Kingdom.
You won’t come back to the Turks with me, and I can’t stay in Chang’an forever—even if I want to stay, I have to take into consideration the people who are still in the Turks’ royal court.
So...let's have a baby?"
Chai Chai: "...What?"
"Open the door, open the door! Open the door quickly!"
Jialuo bumped his forehead against the wooden door lightly, and said with a drunken smirk: "I've seen those comic books in Chang'an, and I know what it's like to have a baby.
Don’t worry, if you burp again, you won’t suffer. My mother and aunt all say that I am very suitable for childbearing.
Anyway, I will leave with the delegation in a few days. Then the child will have my last name."
I knew that if you, little girl, stayed in Jinchengfang after recovering from your leg injury, you were plotting something evil!
Fortunately, I still regard you as a good sister. I want to wait until you return to the grassland, write to you every month, and send you various specialties from Chang'an!
Chai Chai inside the door was horrified, and he quickly pressed his mind against the wooden door, frantically searching for suitable words in his mind, "No!
Calm down first! I have no clothes on now!"
"Wouldn't that be better? It'll be quick."
"There are people in the house!"
"Uh? Who? Chai Chai? Don't you know how to write insulation notes?"
"This, you, I..."
Chai Chai looked at the door that was constantly shaking and felt like crying.
