And he, was actually enjoying her reckless actions.
"That letter..." Can I see it? " Seeing that he had calmed down, Yu Yan whispered to him.
"Hmm?" He closed his eyes and said lightly, "Burn it and leave it in the fire."
"I really wrote it. I'm willing to grow up with you. It's not what you said …" Yun Qin will not fake his words, if the believe is not a problem over at his place, then it is your people … Can you trust your people? " Yu Yan asked softly.
He had been betrayed by one of his trusted aides, which was why he had suffered such a great pain at the bottom of the border for three years. However, up until today, if he still had that sort of person by his side, it would mean that he had been a great failure. He would only know what was wrong if he waited for Sun Li to come and explain everything to him.
"Also, I got someone to send a letter to you, but you didn't receive it?"
Yu Yan pushed him again, feeling a little disappointed. How could he not receive such a beautiful love letter?
"Hmm?" He opened his eyes in surprise.
"Eh …" Yu Yan caressed the wound on her left shoulder and muttered, "There's someone who doesn't want us to be together … "I enticed you to misunderstand me, hate me, hate me, kill me …"
He turned and looked at her for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a violent jolt and the horse was frightened. It screamed in fear and kicked its hooves. It threw the two people inside towards the end of the carriage. They rushed forward for a distance and the carriage was forcefully stopped.
"Wear your clothes quickly," Yulixiao grabbed her clothes and hurriedly put them on.
"My lord, the water has cut off the road ahead." Nie Shuangcheng bellowed.
Yulixiao pushed open the carriage door and looked ahead. There, he saw a large boulder rolling down, with broken pieces of wood and rocks piled in the middle of the road.
He slowly walked forward and stood on top of a huge boulder that was as tall as a person. He surveyed the area in front of him.
The rain this year was much heavier than the previous years. To Yulixiao, this was a very bad thing. Fortunately, he had other plans, and trapped the person Yu Tianqi sent to take over Tai Zhou in the valley. The people of the trapped city only needed to retreat and continue to maintain the situation on the other side of the river. However, the people that Yu Tianqi had sent to Tai Zhou City, would never return.
In ancient times, the victor was the king, and the loser was the bandit. People were like tiny worms. If they died, the lucky ones would be buried. If they died, the heavy rain would wash away the bloodstains that looked like rivers. The bones would turn into mud. The birds and beasts would peck at them. To live, to achieve great things in troubled times, requires a great deal of patience, wisdom and perseverance.
"Your Highness, we can only take a detour." Nie Shuangcheng walked forward, his hand wiping the rain off his face, and said loudly.
Yulixiao's eyes became smooth and he tilted his head and whispered a few words into Nie Shuangcheng's ear. Nie Shuangcheng nodded his head and cupped his fist at him.
"Where is he going?" Yu Yan got out of the carriage and looked back, but she still saw the cage in the corner of her eyes.
Yulixiao took her small movements in his eyes and walked over without showing any emotion.
"Sit down. I'll drive the carriage myself."
"Oh, the coachman is so noble."
Yu Yan laughed and retracted back into the carriage.
He wore a straw cape and a bamboo hat. He was clearly a coachman, but when he raised his long whip, he had the heroic air of someone in command of the wind and rain.
Yu Yan told Yun Qin that this man had all the conditions that she liked, but in the end, these conditions could only be described with one word. He was a true Overlord, a true hero.
Yu Yan longed for the protection of a hero, and indeed, wanted to have a peaceful day.
Who didn't want to live a peaceful life? No matter if it was the Empress of the Nine Heavens, or the little woman selling fish or vegetables in the market, as long as this man gave her peace, she was willing to accompany him …
Of course, if he followed Yulixiao, there would be no stable days for two to three years. Even if he succeeded this year, there would still be a year left to manage the situation. It will be hard too...
She lay by the door and watched his back. Suddenly, she reached out her hand, burrowed it into his raincoat, and pulled on it.
He turned around and frowned. "What are you doing?"
"I want to drive too?" Yu Yan pursed her lips and smiled.
"If you have enough to eat, then hold on. Get the hell in and sit properly." He looked away and said lightly.
Yu Yan was half choked, her small hand forcefully grabbing onto his waist.
"How many stitches do you want to sew on your shoulder later?" He turned his head again, his gaze fixed on her face. "I put a little strength into it, and you can't bear it, and you think I'm a demon, and you torture me, but you always tickle me when you want to provoke me."
"I just want to drive with you. Isn't this sharing the burden of the storm?" Yu Yan pursed her lips and replied him unhappily.
"That's enough. Sit down. You're not afraid that your young plum blossom will vomit blood and die." He sneered, not leaving any face for her.
Yu Yan was furious, she glared at him for a moment, then retreated back into the carriage.
She staggered for an unknown period of time before she fell asleep again in a daze.
When he opened his eyes, it was already dark. The group had almost entered a small town. The town was so small that there weren't even any city gates. Gradually, houses could be seen. Further up, there were also a few shops that were still open.
The houses on both sides of the street were covered by a gray curtain of rain. The rain fell upon the green tiles, forming strings that dripped down. The bluestone path was slippery, and the carriage's speed gradually slowed down.
Yu Yan tousled his hair but it was still wet. The pillow was covered with water stains and her face and neck were ice-cold. Use a hairpin to pull, pile on top of the head, especially cool.
Yulixiao looked at her for a while. With a brush of his palm, he dispersed her hair and took her bone comb, gently combing it down along with her black hair.
Yu Yan was in so much pain that her eyebrows were furrowed and her hair was tied up. How could there be so many silk threads that were as smooth as satin?
"Hey, hey …" "Softer …"
"How dare you."
His handsome brows slightly raised, his five fingers combed through her hair and gently dropped downwards.
"Try yours. You're always glad to hurt me." Yu Yan turned her head to look at him, her brows slightly knitted in annoyance.
"Is that so? I thought I was making you happy... " He raised his eyes and asked in a low voice. The light in his black pupils dimmed a little, and it seemed as if sparks of fire had risen from his eyes.
Yu Yan's face suddenly burned with anger. She took the bone comb from his hands and gently combed her hair. A poem suddenly appeared in her head.
She had an urge to pull his hair up and tie it with hers, to taste the poetry.
Just as he was lost in thought, he felt a chill at the back of his head. He felt something loosen his hair. He quickly lifted his hand to touch it and discovered that it was a handkerchief.
"Thank you, Prince." She pursed her lips and smiled, turning her head to look at him. Her eyes were gentle and curved, with an indescribable charm and gentleness.
Seeing her pleasing to the eye, Yulixiao's heart softened. It was as if he had opened up a pool of spring water, and suddenly blossomed with countless peach blossoms.
The two of them looked at each other, Yu Yan's face was burning red, she gently lifted the curtain and peeked out, the carriage was just turning the corner, and she could just barely see the corner of the prison cart.
I don't know if he's got gonorrhea, or if he's very hungry? Yun Qin's pride had been reduced to such a state. What Yu Yan was most worried about was whether he would self-destruct. She could not help but take another glance at it. When this small action fell into Yulixiao's eyes, it caused a hint of displeasure to rise in his heart. He did not say anything and only picked up a book from the side and started flipping through it.
"My lord, who embroidered this handkerchief? The embroiderers are so good. " Yu Yan quickly retracted her gaze, and laid on the side of his leg, purposely looking for him to talk.
Yulixiao did not make a sound.
"My lord, what is this place?"
"Your Highness …" Should we travel through the night, or should we stay here for the night? "
Yu Yan moved closer and looked at the book in his hands. This was a geography book.
However, Yulixiao did not make a sound, he only stared at the books, page after page, as the carriage moved forward slowly through the rain and wind.
Yu Yan didn't know what he was thinking, thus she stayed quiet for a while, then leaned over again, placed a hand on Yue Yang's arm, and cuddled his head, and whispered:
"Ning Xi …" Big brother Ning Xi … "
He could no longer hold it in. He raised his hand and slammed the book against her forehead —
"Pa …"
Yu Yan was slapped senseless!
"Yu Yan, listen carefully, the handkerchief in your hair was made by the Palace's Embroidery Bureau. There is only one word on it, it can't even be described as embroidery. This place is called Aqua Town and it is one hundred kilometers away from the Tai Zhou. I don't have any extra clean clothes or steamed buns or rice for him. "
"What are you talking about?" Yu Yan held her forehead and slightly frowned.
"I don't need you to act virtuous right now. Sit down." With a sneer, he picked up the book that had bounced at his feet and continued to read.
Acting virtuous? Yu Yan frowned, could it be that he was still feeling jealous? Did Overlord's jealousy last longer than that of an ordinary man? Or did he find herself too noisy? Forget it, let's be quiet!
After sitting cross-legged for a while, she moved to the other side to open his bound book. This was something she had found in Jingzhou City. It was a very rare geography. Many small mountains and rivers were recorded within.
Yulixiao gazed at her bent back, as though he did not know what he was doing, a gentle light quietly gushed out of his eyes.
When she was done, she turned her head suddenly, glanced at him, smiled, and began to tug at his cloth shoes.
"For what?" He frowned slightly and looked at her quizzically.
"Nothing." She tugged again.
He reached over and let her pull his shoes and socks off.
She moved back and placed her feet next to his, then took out a red rope and tied one end to her big toe and the other end to his big toe.
The red rope, which she had just cut off from the bundle of his books, was cut into a thin piece and bound to the two of them.
"We'll be able to move at the same pace in the future. Yue Lao's Red String of Fate." She smiled and put her hand on his knee.
His four feet were placed side by side, and his feet were much larger than hers. Her little feet were jade and exquisite, and her toes were full and adorable. They lightly stuck to his feet.
He turned to look at her, only to see her pursing her lips and smiling as she stared at her feet. Normally, he would have liked to hold these small feet and slowly play with them in his hands, but at this moment, he really couldn't be happy.
"You're just trying to please me for him?" Yulixiao's breathing sank, and his heart suddenly became bitter.
"Huh?" Yu Yan was startled. He had been in a foul mood the entire way and was unwilling to pay attention to her.
"Really …" "Really …" She patiently explained.
Yulixiao's hand reached over, gently rubbing her small face for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Yan'er, I know you two have feelings for each other for more than ten years, but seeing you like this, hurts my heart too much."
Yu Yan stared at him for a while, the smile on his face gradually faded, he extended his hand out and started to remove the red rope.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was the one who caused you trouble."
