"Yes, I am indeed the mastermind behind the Cloud Prefecture battle, but don't forget my sister, you are also one of the masterminds! It's you. It's you who caused the destruction of our country and the death of our siblings. "
When Ning Xuemo reached the door, she suddenly turned around with a dark expression.
"Sea Restaurant, I advise you to stop there!"
The expected sword light flashed and arrived in a flash. After obtaining the desired response, a strange and sinister smile appeared on Hai Lou's face. His clothes fluttered, leaving only half of his pure black sleeves.
"In three days, either you hand over the soldier or you leave Chen Qiao Sheng. "I advise you to see Chen Sining's fate clearly!"
The joints of his right hand, which was holding onto the hilt of his sword, turned white. The fire that had been buried in his heart for many years was compressed to the point that it was bursting out with flames. Sea Tower always had the ability to poke open the weak point of the human heart and directly faced the bleak reality of blood and flesh.
Chen Sining, a name that's been buried for years." She was both a human and a symbol, and although her soul was lost in the dust, she was still carved into the hearts of every Flying Crane Guard as a taboo to silence.
She felt wronged. Years of suppressed emotions were overwhelming her. Her eyes were dry and she wanted to burst into tears, but she couldn't.
She almost resigned herself to the idea of burning until her whole body disintegrated into ashes and disappeared into the dust.
When Chen Qiao opened the door, he saw Ning Xuemo standing stiffly not far from the door, staring at the broken words of joy on the ground.
It was as if the old man had been converted to a demon for many years.
"Zhou Yu, you're here."
His voice was erratic and ambiguous, with an undetectable sense of loss.
"I'm here." Chen Qiao Sheng quickly stepped forward. Warm palms rested on her ice-cold fingers, and then he clenched them tightly. The warmth flowed through her veins and veins to all parts of her body.
After a long while, his face finally warmed up. She used all her strength to grasp Chen Qiao Sheng's fingertip, and from between her brows, a baleful aura surged out like the rumored evil woman of the martial arts world who could kill with a knife, but in the end, reason was still better than being able to suppress one's emotions to the utmost and squeeze out an almost perfect smile.
"Are you afraid of death?"
"I should have died a long time ago, but when Yunzhou presented the descending watch, Chen Jiasheng should not have survived. But now that I've met you, every day I spend is profitable. "
He had been exceptionally indifferent towards matters of life and death. He did not panic, nor did he feel any fear. He also knew that Ning's intention to live and die together with him was not necessarily not the same as reaching perfection.
Chen Qiao Sheng stooped down to help her up. With a slight frown, the dissatisfaction he felt towards Hai Lou increased by another layer.
The wedding banquet that he had painstakingly planned for over a month had finally been completely destroyed by this kid.
After the disturbance at the Sea Restaurant, there was not a single bit of happiness left in the hall. The sky had already darkened and Ning Xuemo had finally returned to her weak and gentle appearance.
Li Ning took some clean water to carefully wipe Chen Qiao's dirty fingers, and after lighting the wick of the lamp, she placed the tableware on the table. After doing everything, she happened to see Chen Qiao's soft gaze under the light, and Li Ning clenched her teeth as she resolutely asked, "Does Darling have anything to ask me?"
She was afraid that Chen had acted as if he were deaf and ignorant. She didn't know how much Chen had guessed, so she decided to go straight to the point and find out who she was so that she wouldn't feel awkward.
Chen Qiao Sheng stared blankly for a moment, then shook his head. After thinking about it, he had nothing to ask.
"My wife is so virtuous, what can I do about it?" Chen rubbed his chin, and learned to jest in the sea tower. His shameless appearance actually learned five to six points.
"Have you never doubted my origins?"
"What's there to doubt? Since you've entered my Chen Clan, how could you possibly be someone else with an unknown background?"
Chen, who was feeling a lot better, picked up his chopsticks and scooped up all the lean meat from the plate.
He had been working so hard these past few days that his thin chin had become pointy.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk anymore, Shen Ning obediently picked up the bowl and lowered her head to eat in silence. The atmosphere was in a stalemate for half a tea's time. Chen Qiao Sheng could not help but stop his chopsticks and laugh as he ruffled her messy hair.
"I have promised you that as long as I am still here, I will not leave you without help."
The Spirit Mountain was beautiful, filled with dense empty water. Gu Shadow Mountain was located within a county located thirty Li east of the capital. It could be considered to be a boundary that was neither too close nor too far away from the capital. Although the vast population of Shu County could be compared to the surrounding large counties, its population was far from being disadvantaged. Therefore, the city could only rely on the mountains as an easy vassal force that was hard to defend and could not be attacked.
It was early in the morning, and the mountain ranges within the Misty Mountain Range in the morning mist were crisscrossed with green shadows. They were like the eyebrows of a beautiful woman who was frowning as she sang along with her daughter's melodious singing.
The villagers were not in the mood to appreciate the poetry. In the summer, when the wild birds were growing fat and strong, they would wake up early in the morning to see the team on the mountain. After the village finished growing the grain, they would often take advantage of this time to harvest some furs and sell them to the town, relying on the mountains for food. There weren't many villagers who could save up a lot of money by going to the Autumn Hunt.
Chen Qiao Sheng also carried his basket and joined the other men of the village as they went up the mountain. To him, Gu Yingshan could be considered half his hometown.
"When will my husband come back?" She was dressed in a new dress that Chen Qiusheng had arranged for her to buy in the town. She stood out among the coarse, big, red, and green women of the village, looking especially fresh and refined.
"At least three days, at most ten days!" Chen Qiao Sheng was worried as he carried his backpack and warned repeatedly, "If you want anything to eat, use your money to buy it. Don't go to the stove or hurt your hands with needlework."
With a smile on his face, Dan Ning listened to his admonition over and over again. He didn't bother to carefully check the package again as he tightened the knot around the corner.
After a while, Chen went back home and ordered his wife not to follow him.
"Don't send me off again, it's not safe to go up."
"Husband, bring this with you. Be careful on the mountain." He suddenly took the jade pendant from his neck and stuffed it into Chen Qiao Sheng's palm.
It was something close to her. It was warm when she left the body at first, but Chen took the soft cloth and put it on his chest, next to his heart.
"Wait for me to come back."
The couple parted, and Chen carried his bag and turned his head three steps, watching as his wife disappeared in the green shadow of the mountain. Somehow, he had a premonition that a storm was coming.
"You brat, you know how to pamper your wife." Someone recalled that his brother-in-law, who had tried to reason with him at the wedding banquet, had smiled as he walked over, "Right, did your brother-in-law cause any trouble yesterday?"
His brother-in-law had found fault with something. It was the first class new thing in the mountain village. The men's mouths were as thick as a woman's. When they saw that someone had started it, many people surrounded them, waiting to hear the rest.
