As soon as he stepped into Yanxia Residence, Liujiu came over with a smile and said, "Ms. Dragon Girl, we have guests."
Seeing the ambiguous smile on Liujiu's face, Ah Shang made a guess, "It can't be King Qing, right?"
"Yeah," Liujiu took a few steps forward and walked towards the living room with Mai Mai on his arm, "Ms. Longnu, King Qing has been waiting for you for half an hour."
Mai Mai handed the book in his arms to Ashang, "Put it away."
"Yes," Ah Shang took the book and returned to his room to pack his things.
Seeing the people standing in the living room with hands folded, Mai Mai didn't say anything and just walked over quietly.
"Give me one year," the deep voice said, as loudly as an oath. "After one year, I will go to Yanbei Kingdom to pick you up."
Wan Qiqing turned around and faced Maimai's calmness, "You only need to endure it for one year. Believe me." Now he is still a fledgling. Faced with this kind of result, he has no way to make a comeback. He realizes that his father
The person the emperor really wanted to pass on to the throne was his sixth brother, and that heartbreaking disappointment taught him what cruelty is.
One year, only one year. He was confident that he would get everything he deserved, including her.
"No need," Wan Qiqing's seriousness made her feel compassionate. She saw what he had done for her and unknowingly remembered it in her heart. Because of this, she didn't want to give him any more.
Any thoughts.
"It's my own decision to agree to marry. You don't have to do so much for me." The cruelty at this moment is better than the ruthlessness in the future.
Her coldness hurt him again and again, but these were nothing compared to watching her marry a barbarian.
"Are you willing to make fun of your life for him? He is already dead, and no matter how much you do, you can't save him." Wan Qi held her shoulders excitedly, "Jun'er, please stop torturing yourself, okay?
Okay? As long as you nod, I can take you out of here right away. I don’t want the throne, I don’t want anything, as long as I’m with you. In this life, I will only love you as a woman.” These are his true words.
Her allure is actually greater than that cold throne.
She should be moved. His love for giving up the fight for the throne for her was unbearable to question. In fact, she was indeed moved. However, he was not her beloved man. She was moved, and that was just moved. She couldn't survive.
other emotions.
"King Qing, you have what you should do, and I have what I should do. From the beginning to now, these have not changed. Don't do anything for me anymore, you will not get the return you want. I
If you can’t afford it, you won’t give it. Just let it go.”
She gave him a smile, light but genuine. It was the first sincere smile she showed to him, but it was also the last.
He put his hands down slumped, carrying his loneliness, and took a deep breath, but it couldn't fill the emptiness in his chest. There, it seemed that an important treasure had been lost, and he was confused and helpless.
The eagle eyes had lost their usual sharpness and ruthlessness. At this moment, he felt so lonely that it made people feel distressed.
The sunset dyed half of the sky red, and the afterglow poured in, filling the room. The two figures were stretched far apart, but the distance between them could not be closed no matter what.
He knows that he has lost it. Or maybe he has not lost it. Because he has never had it at all...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The next day, at dawn, an inconspicuous motorcade quietly left the city.
Standing on the city tower, looking at the ordinary carriage, his cold evil eyes contained waves of turbulence. He didn't intend to watch her leave with his own eyes, but his feet didn't follow his consciousness at all. He still stood here,
Watch her run towards another man.
This woman named Lan Xuanjun, the only woman who made his heart love...
His fists tightened and his eyes became even colder. Yan Beiguo? He will not let them go, let alone Xingxu!
Leaving in such a low-key manner was completely what Maimai meant. She didn't like to see Emperor Zong's hypocritical face, and of course, he definitely didn't want to see her again now. She couldn't afford the people's farewell.
She has never been a person with noble sentiments. Whether she goes to war or goes to war, she only has one purpose.
Qisa was her home after her rebirth. It brought her too many memories, some sweet and some painful. There was also a person she couldn't let go of. Leaving here meant leaving him.
The sixteen saints were well-trained and divided into four teams, with four people on each side, four at the front and on the left. They were always paying attention to the strange things around them. Behind the carriage, there were more than a dozen people led by Liu Kang, all wearing black clothes and black trousers. They were with the saints.
Their white clothes formed a strong contrast.
"Miss, I heard that it takes a day and a night to get to Yanbei Kingdom." Ashang thoughtfully handed over a cup of hot tea, "You didn't sleep well last night, so you'd better get some sleep first."
Mai Mai shook her head, always holding the book in her hand and flipping through it, reading line by line from the first page to the last page. Every time she saw the page with her name written on it, she would show happiness.
A warm smile. It's like you want to experience the surprise of accidentally discovering it. After watching it, you will watch it again.
Ah Shang saw it in his eyes and smiled on his face.
The bumpy road along the way made the convoy farther and farther away from Jiangcheng. At night, it had entered a desolate place. The lights around it gradually became thinner, and occasionally the howls of wild wolves could be heard.
He opened the curtain and looked at the darkness outside the car. Mai Mai's mind went blank. The road ahead was like a night with no light. He didn't know where the next stop would be.
The convoy never delayed, and after eating and resting, they immediately started on the road again.
A night of silence.
It was another sunny day with the sun shining brightly. Mai Mai did not sleep very peacefully. She slept intermittently, waking up and sleeping, and was startled by her own dreams. When she really fell asleep, she was awakened by Ashang again.
.
"Miss, wake up. We are here."
"Are we here?" Mai Mai rubbed her eyes in a daze, unable to react for a while.
"Yes," Ashang suppressed his smile, "We have arrived in Yanbei Kingdom."
When she heard about Yanbei Kingdom, Maimai calmed down. Yes, she came to marry here.
He stretched out his arms and patted his cheek vigorously, "Let's go down." Once you come, make peace with it.
Ashang Doo helped Mai Mai jump out of the carriage. When he saw the scenery around him, Mai Mai was stunned.
Everywhere you look, you can see the vastness and magnificence that represents freedom. The vast grassland, the endless green. The unique majesty of the grassland will make the blood scream and rush. Under the clear sky, the blue sky is thousands of miles away.
Stretching to the clouds, the green color is flowing everywhere.
Standing alone in this green, the sky is so blue, the air is so fresh, and she is so small. The amazing beauty has deeply conquered her from this second.
Not far away, there are groups of cattle, sheep and horses, set against the green grassland, like lovely flowers; and like the finishing touch on this ink painting. It adds to the beauty of this world.
It is vast and full of vitality.
Several tall horses with shiny coats are galloping freely and freely on the grassland. Countless yurts with unique shapes are another scenery here. They are the residences of nomadic herdsmen, although they are small but very warm.
.
Taking a deep breath of the freshness here, she smelled a distant smell. It was a distant smell that did not belong to her, but it was very kind.
Her mood has never been so relaxed as it is now. There is no longer any burden and pressure, and she no longer has to bear the heavy shackles. She likes everything here, the sky here, the grass here.
A gust of cool wind hit her face, and Mai Mai shivered unconsciously. A white fur coat was immediately draped over her body, and she turned to look behind her. Ashang smiled at her, "It's very cold in the morning here."
"Thanks,"
Her body felt much warmer, and for some reason, she always felt that Ah Shang knew this place very well. Even though she had inquired about it before leaving, there was no sense of strangeness in her tone at all.
At this time, several people rode towards them. Rushing to the front, there was a man in a silver shirt. He turned over and dismounted in a graceful manner, with a wild smile on his unruly face and a pair of narrow eyes, curious.
Scanning the beautiful scenery of the grassland.
"Kang! Who is our mistress?"
Before Liu Kang had time to answer, he immediately spotted Mai Mai, who was also dressed in white. The smile on his lips became brighter. He took a step forward and knelt down on one knee, "Gui Su, I have seen the mistress."
Infected by the frankness and atmosphere of the grassland, Mai Mai was in a good mood and started talking to the stranger in front of her, "I am not the mistress, you have the wrong person."
"Eh? No?" Guisu blinked, looking past Mai Mai and at the saint behind her. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he stood up and came to Xinye without saying a word, "See you, Guisu
More than a mistress."
Xinye was stunned at first, and then glared at him with disgust, "Please, please recognize this young master clearly before coming to pay your respects, okay?" His wise mind immediately made an evaluation of him, saying that he was self-righteous and courageous.
"Eh? Not again?" Although he was a little embarrassed to have recognized the wrong mistress, he completely accepted the disdain in her eyes. This woman hated him!
"Guisu, don't embarrass yourself in front of the mistress." Another calmer voice intervened at the right time.
When Ah Shang saw the person coming, his cheeks turned slightly red unconsciously.
Mai Mai looked up and saw a man in a black shirt with a tall and straight body. He got off his horse and walked up to Mai Mai with steady steps. He knelt on one knee and said, "Yi Su, I have seen the mistress."
He has handsome features, uprightness, stability and humility. At first glance, he is a loyal and trustworthy person.
Mai Mai smiled softly. Since others had seen through it, he simply agreed, "Just call me Mai Mai. Don't call me mistress, it sounds weird."
"Mistress, you are too partial." Guisu shouted in disbelief, "When I called you, you refused to acknowledge it. When this kid called Yi, you agreed."
"You can't turn your brain around, so you still blame others?" Xinye interjected coolly.
Guisu's eyes widened in disbelief, "How do you know that I can't bend my brain? Only my mother knows about this!"
"Haha..." Liujiu and others no longer cared about the image of a saint, and were made to laugh by Guisu.
Xinye frowned, glanced at him and refused to care.
Yi Su stood up and glanced at Ah Shang with clear eyes that seemed to be absent. When he caught his gaze, Ah Shang's pretty face turned even redder.
At this time, the man in blue shirt behind Yi Su took a step forward and also knelt down on one knee, "Zhen Su, I have met the mistress."
Mai Mai looked carefully at the gentle man in front of him. His fair face rarely basked in the sun, and he was dressed in an elegant manner, like a scholar going to Beijing to take the exam.
"Get up, just call me Mai Mai."
"You are the mistress, you are not allowed to call me by my first name." Zhen answered in a straight tone without even raising his head.
"Mistress, Zhen is a stubborn person. Don't even think about discussing these ethics issues with him." Gui Su rushed to Mai Mai's side and stretched out three fingers in an exaggerated manner, "He can even think about it for three days!"
Thinking of the painful lessons learned in the past, Guisu still has a cold war to this day.
Liu Kang laughed and scolded and pushed Gui Su away, "It's not because you peeped at Xiaomei taking a bath. Otherwise, why would Zhen pick you to read?"
"Huh?" The saints were stunned, and then burst into laughter, "Haha..."
Gui Su scratched his head indifferently and said, "I have lost my memory." After saying that, he imitated a gentleman and made a "please" gesture forward, "Mistress, please."
Their informality allowed Mai Mai to relax her restraint on the new environment. Only such a man could be worthy of the grassland. At the same time, she was actually curious about the Xingxu whom she had never met before, and what kind of master he was.
, to lead such a group of twenty-eight constellations.
"Thank you." Mai Mai smiled kindly and turned to look at the saints who were also relaxed, "Let's go."
Ah Shang deliberately slowed down and walked to the end of the line. Yi Su came to her side quietly, "Xin, are you okay?"
"Yeah," two more red clouds appeared on his cheeks, and Ashang nodded lightly.
"That's good." Yi Su didn't ask any further questions and strode to Mai Mai's side.
Her big eyes couldn't hide her disappointment as she looked at his stalwart back, sighing softly and softly. Did he understand her heart?
When the herdsmen who were grazing saw Mai Mai and others, they dropped their whips, turned around, and ran back, shouting as they ran, "The mistress is here, the mistress is here!"
The heavy curtains of all the yurts were opened, and a bunch of people came out one after another, rushing over happily, "Ah, the mistress is here!"
Mai Mai stopped and looked at the herdsmen rushing toward her. Their simple faces had two lovely blushes on their faces, and their smiles of joy from the bottom of their hearts made Mai Mai feel a little overwhelmed.
"Mistress, these herdsmen are very excited when they heard that our master is getting a wife." Liu Kang was afraid that Mai Mai would be frightened by this formation, so he quickly explained.
Guisu also smiled and said, "Yes, as early as three days ago, everyone was discussing what gifts to give to the mistress."
"They..." Mai Mai really didn't know what she was going to say. She didn't do anything but agreed to marry here. She felt worthy of such a welcome. After all, her purpose was not pure.
The herdsmen ran up to Mai Mai and the others, staring at the pile of tender-skinned girls with wide eyes, and asked anxiously, "Guisu, who is the mistress?"
"Yes, yes, who is our mistress?" the elderly man also asked in agreement.
