All the soldiers knelt down on one knee, raised their hands and said in salute: "See you, Your Majesty."
The heart of the old village chief seemed to be frightened. When he saw Ling Jiyun for the first time, he knew that he was not a mortal. He did not expect that he would be a high-ranking prince. The other villagers were the same. At this time, their eyes widened and they were surprised.
Because of everything happening before my eyes.
"Everyone, get up." Ling Jiyun's words, neither light nor serious, sounded so sonorous and powerful at this moment.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ling Jiyun walked up to Erwa and Sanzhu, waved away the two guards who were about to be killed, helped them up, and said to Erwa: "Your mother fainted, why don't you send her home.
"
Only then did Erwa wake up from the shock, hurriedly walked to Erwa's mother, picked her up and walked home.
Ling Jiyun looked at the frightened people around him. After all, there were not many villagers in the mountains and people who had been to the city. Who had seen such a world? "Everyone, please go back."
Ling Jiyun spoke, and the villagers left quickly as if they had received amnesty. They were really scared, but it was not Ling Jiyun who was scared, but the old man who wanted to arrest people and kill them as soon as he came.
The strange thing is that the people leaving were all old people, women and children. The men seemed to have not moved much. Ling Jiyun said: "Why don't you leave?"
Chang Gen bravely walked up to him and said: "We are the same people who have fished in the river and have eaten and drank wine at the same table. If they dare to do anything bad to you, we will never be polite."
"That's right, that's right -" all the men left behind said.
Ling Jiyun was moved. He didn't expect them to say such things. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you for worrying. Please go back. I'll be fine."
All the guards were stunned. Is this the majestic Prince Ji, the lord of the border town who makes people palpitate at the sight of him? Situ Ling was even more surprised by his performance. This Hua Zhi Niang is really not to be underestimated. She actually has the ability to kill him.
Change to this.
Although Chang Gen and others heard what Ling Jiyun said, they still looked at Situ Ling with some uneasiness, and finally led the male villagers to leave slowly one by one.
Ling Jiyun stopped smiling, came to Situ Ling, cupped his hands and said, "Master."
Situ Ling calmed down the anger that was gradually rising in his heart, resisted the urge to kill, glared at Ling Jiyun and said: "You are so promising, you almost gave up the country you just won for a woman, you want to be angry to death
Me and you?”
"Master, calm down, I know what I am doing." Ling Jiyun turned slightly and continued: "You go back first, I have my own plan."
These tepid words undoubtedly released all the suppressed anger in Situ Ling's heart, and he roared: "What sense of propriety do you have? For that woman, you didn't even give up the country at your fingertips, and you still expect me to believe you."
Plan? Do you know that Emperor Ting Yan has already recaptured five cities and is about to fight at his doorstep, do you still plan here?"
So fast? Ling Jiyun clenched his fists. Situ Ling finally saw a reaction from him. Ling Jiyun was Ling Jiyun. No matter how many times he disappointed him, he was still his most beloved disciple.
Things finally reached the point where we could no longer stay. Thinking of Gardenia's reaction just now, Ling Jiyun's heart ached in vain. "Master, wait here for a moment. I'll come back as soon as I go."
"I don't allow you to see her. I am your master. If I say you are not allowed to see her, you are not allowed to see her." Situ Ling almost shouted, because in Ling Jiyun's heart, her status was higher than his.
Ling Jiyun said firmly: "She is my wife."
"It's just my wife, I can have as much as I want from now on." Situ Ling's tone became contemptuous and he said with disdain.
Ling Jiyun turned around and said without looking back: "She is my only one."
"You - stop -."
Regardless of how arrogant and angry Situ Ling was behind him, Ling Jiyun was determined to see Gardenia and his wife.
Gardenia sat in the yard with dull eyes, waiting for Ling Jiyun to come back. She was afraid, so afraid, afraid that he would show up and tell her the truth that she didn't want to accept and couldn't accept.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. I quickly wiped away the tears spreading on my face, got up and walked to the door of the courtyard. I smiled weakly and said: "You are back."
The remaining tears in the corners of her eyes betrayed the fact that she had just cried sadly. He gently took her into his arms. The next moment he had to make a decision, "Gardenia."
His body trembled slightly, but he still couldn't avoid what was coming, but he still held on to that hair in hope: "What's the matter, husband?"
Sighing: "I'm leaving for a while, will you wait for me to pick you up?"
Finally he spoke out, with tears streaming down his face, he pushed him away gently and staggered back: "Your master is here to pick you up. Is the country really that important in your heart?"
Ling Jiyun turned slightly and couldn't bear to look at Gardenia's sad eyes, and said with determination: "Yes, the country is important, and so are you. I want both you and the country."
This is the Ling Jiyun whom he met for the first time. It turns out that he has never changed. The ambition to dominate the world or the supreme power are what he really pursues. The only thing that has changed is himself. Hua Zhiniang, you are too tall.
You are overestimating yourself, you are not worthy of him giving up everything he pursues for you. "But I only want you." Gardenia said sadly, she was begging him.
The one who compromises here is not Ling Jiyun. The reason why he didn’t want to go to the Lost Forest was for today. He must not give up the dream he has worked so hard to pursue because of his heartache, so he must be sensible in the next thing. Turn around and look at her
: "Gardenia, can't you accept reality?"
Reality? What is reality? "Why are you so cruel? I just want to live a simple life with you. Is my request wrong or excessive?"
Ling Jiyun was silent. Situ Ling led the people outside the courtyard. He walked in and saw the tears on Gardenia's face. He glared at her with disgust and said, "Jiyun, it's time to go. Tian Lai and the others are still waiting."
I’m waiting for you to go back and take charge of the overall situation!”
"What if I don't let you go?" Gardenia said firmly, as if firmness was a threat.
Situ Ling was furious. This woman was too late. She flashed in front of Gardenia and raised her hand. Ling Jiyun's heart clenched. She was about to fall. Feng Qing didn't know when she would appear in front of her.
He tightly grasped the hand that was about to drop. "Master, you can't do this."
He shook his hand away fiercely and said, "Why are you here?"
Glancing at Gardenia, Feng Qing said, "Disciple is a little worried, so come and have a look." Facts have proved that he came at the right time. If the master had hit him with that palm, Ling Jiyun would definitely break up with him.
Gardenia's words still failed to stop his determination to leave: "I will send someone here to take care of you." Ling Jiyun said guiltily, knowing that it was absolutely impossible for her to leave with him.
Gardenia shook her head and said with a wry smile, "You don't have to be so kind."
