When she learned that Shu Zhen had left, Jian Xin was just a little startled, not because she felt sorry, but because she suddenly thought that two years had passed.
It is now the year 1503 in the Abyss of the Wilderness, and it was 1500 when she came.
The Xilin Gol Prairie should have remained unchanged except for the prosperous summer and dry winter. However, the mother who stayed in the bungalow, although she had long been indifferent to misfortune, must have become older and older in the face of the disappearance of her daughter!
The Jinhong Corridor Bridge in the palace crosses the middle part of the palace from the east to the west, and is 3 meters above the ground. Reliefs of water flow and trees can be seen everywhere on the white guardrails and on the roof of the green corridor. Potted plants are hung all the way outside the guardrails. They are similar to prosperity, but the flowers are different.
Each has his own words.
The covered bridge has just been built and is a place for viewing the grand architectural scenery of the palace and strolling around. The palace is so big that even if you stand on the corridor, you can't see the end.
It's like the endless wilderness of the wild abyss.
In the abyss of wilderness, everything is infinitely vast.
"Three years." Walking on the corridor, Jian Xin couldn't help but sigh, looking lonely.
"Oh, yes." Shao Kefan smiled, "At the beginning, you said you would become my queen in a few years. Now -"
"I don't really want to-" Jian Xin hesitated for a while before answering.
As they passed by the royal palace, the maids and slaves bowed down and saluted them. Although the words kneeling and "greeting" were abolished, they still looked at the king with such awe in their eyes.
"We must have a formal title. Besides, I am the King of Cang Teng. Everyone's eyes are on me." Shao Kefan's expression became serious.
"How about waiting a few more years?" Jian Xin frowned reluctantly.
"Jian Xin, now I am twenty-six and you are already twenty-two. When the Queen Mother was twenty, she already had me and King Ling."
He stopped, put his hands on the guardrail and looked down. The blue glazed palace tiles undulated gently like mountains, against the yellow-green sky.
"In two years, we will get married. Let's wait another two years."
Jian Xin knew that he had been waiting for her to marry him, but she really didn't want to marry.
"You refuse because you feel that this place doesn't belong to you?" Shao Kefan explained the reason in one sentence.
We love each other so much but don't want to get married.
"I——" It's not a rebuttal, it's definitely not either.
"Since you can't go back, why bother holding on? I think I'm not bad to you, but I can't let you treat me like I belong." He frowned and grabbed the guardrail with all his strength.
"No, you will always be my favorite." Jian Xin thought he doubted her sincerity.
"That's not what I meant. Tell me what I have to do so that you can regard this place as your home. After all, you can't go back and live like this for the rest of your life. In order to let you find the feeling of going home, I hired Shu Zhen
Protecting you while riding horses in the wilderness, ultimately, I want you to treat this place as your home."
For the first time, he felt that he was incompetent. His hand left the guardrail, and several fingerprint shapes were embedded in the guardrail.
"In the past two years, I have indeed gained a lot of happiness in the wasteland, but to me, the wasteland has become more and more like a killing field. Even if you turn the wasteland green, it will not help."
In front of her, Shu Zhen killed many people neatly, leaving corpses lying around and the wilderness stained red with blood.
They had no reason to die. Shu Zhen left. She never wanted to go to the wasteland again. She didn't want to kill someone with her own hands. She had never been interested in the pleasure of letting other people's lives end in her own hands.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Shao Kefan faced the blue glazed tiles, but closed his eyes.
"Abandon the plan to unify the wilderness." Jian Xin said every word.
"Impossible." The monarch's intention surged, "This is my ambition."
"I don't want to see killing."
"Of course, when the war breaks out, I will let you stay in the palace, and you just wait for me to return victorious." Shao Kefan deliberately understood the words at face value.
"Can you give others a way to survive? Can you be a little more humane?" Jian Xin yelled and slapped the guardrail with her palm.
"Yes, as long as they have enough ability to protect themselves." Shao Kefan did not waver at all.
In a rage, she flew down from the corridor and headed towards Yiwei Hall.
However, when she returned to Yiwei Hall and walked in the door, she found Shao Kefan lying on the soft couch and looking at her quietly.
Damn it, I didn't expect him to be able to invisibility. Jian Xin glared at him and walked out the door angrily.
However, he soon appeared in front of her, "You can be angry, but you can't run around."
"Shao Kefan, don't lose your conscience because of your so-called ambition."
"Unifying the Desolate Abyss is my greatest wish in this life, and it is impossible for me to change my mind."
"Okay, I can't go back now. You will find me wherever I go, but I can stop paying attention to you." Jian Xin turned around and entered the main hall.
He hesitated for a moment and did not go in, but returned to Qiming Palace.
Jian Xin lost her smile and stopped talking to him. However, every day, after handling the affairs, he would go to Yiwei Hall to accompany her and stay by her side silently.
Occasionally, she also went to the wilderness, but only in places close to the palace, where almost no one dared to come.
A year passed and she still remained silent.
"Jian Xin, I-please, please say a word to me?" Shao Kefan finally couldn't stand the dead silence.
Like the night outside.
She just looked at him sadly, tears flowing down uncontrollably.
"Jian Xin, please don't embarrass me." Shao Kefan looked extremely painful, "This year has been too difficult for me."
Jian Xin moved her lips slightly, but turned her head to one side.
"In this case, I might as well kill you." He said bitterly, and with a "transformation", his belt turned into a phantom sword and was placed around her neck.
"You - open your mouth!" he ordered, using a little force with his sword, he made a shallow cut, and blood flowed down the blade like a thin and slow stream of water.
However, it also hurt his heart, and his hands shook unconsciously.
Jian Xin smiled sadly, without any fear, and closed her eyes.
After watching her for a while, his mood relaxed, and he slowly removed the sword, saying "change", and a belt lay quietly in his open palm.
He knew that she only wanted an answer from him, but he couldn't give it.
With a soft sigh, Shao Kefan wiped the blood from Jian Xin's neck, applied gold healing medicine to her, and bandaged her with a belt.
Phantom Sword, his favorite weapon! There was a hint of shock and tenderness in her eyes.
"I'll tie it up after your wound has healed."
After the subjugation of Zeguan, various countries intensified the training of the Armed Guards and expanded the number of soldiers. In more than three years, the overall strength of the Armed Guards has doubled from its original strength.
The training venue was even changed to a wilderness, and joint drills were held to strive for coordination during combat.
"Now that every kingdom is against Cang Teng, this war will definitely be launched." Shao Kefan raised her chin, "So, my promise cannot have the final say."
Ridiculous! A sneer appeared on Jian Xin's lips.
Even if countries take the initiative to attack, they are ultimately passive.
As long as he said something about living in peace, it would be too late for them to withdraw their troops.
How can a king who combines the Fanhui Curse, the seventh level of Moyun Magic, the Phantom Sword, and the invisibility technique, coupled with the unrivaled power of the armed guards and many brave and resourceful generals, teach people not to be afraid?
"You finally smiled, but this smile made my heart ache." Shao Kefan removed his hand, "As long as you don't give up on unifying the wilderness, I can satisfy you whatever you want."
Jian Xin stood up impatiently, lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over her body, and turned her back to him.
He sighed, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and stared at the bottomless night through the carved wooden window.
He didn't waver at all.
If she were born here, she would be used to everything.
After a long time, he walked to the bed, lay next to her, and hugged her sideways. Regarding sex, he only untied her clothes when he was really intolerable.
She would never refuse, she would just remain silent, and he would only be satisfied with his desire, and would no longer be as happy as before.
