Younger Martial Brother, don’t come unharmed
Ancient Style Sweet Cake 2. Thump When
I returned to Zhongtai Mountain from. The clouds on the
horizon were burning red, and a young man in white was standing on tiptoe on the top of the hill.
Hearing the sound of the horse’s hooves approaching, he hurried this way, but before he could run a few steps, he fell down.
I stopped the pony and looked at Ye Zhan, who was covered with mud. “How are you, Younger Martial Brother?” I said with a smile. Embarrassed,
Ye Zhan hid a bunch of crooked flowers behind his back and whispered, “I was waiting for Elder Martial Sister here early. I wanted to pick some Lily of the valley flowers for Elder Martial Sister, but unfortunately they were all broken.”
“Give it to me. I don’t mind.”
Ye Zhan cleverly handed over the bouquet, and my eyes fell on the wound on his wrist, and the blood beads soaked through his sleeves and turned red.
“Younger Martial Brother, you are hurt.”
“Maybe I just hit a stone. It’s all right. It’s just a little injury.”
“Get on the horse and I’ll take you back to take the medicine.”
Seeing that he did not move, I threatened him, “Did you sneak out today while the master was away?”? Be careful not to eat the whip if you go back late.
Ye Zhan listened and quickly climbed onto my horse.
He sat carefully behind me. After a moment’s hesitation, he carefully reached out and pinched my cloak.
“Elder Martial Sister, I’m sitting still. I can go on my way.”
I laughed in my heart that he was timid and had not made any progress compared with the first time I saw him.
Ye Zhan was only ten years old when he was taken up the mountain by his master. Hiding behind the master, he timidly poked his head out and handed us half of the cake he had begged for.
My name is Ye Zhan. Let the elder brothers and sisters accept it. The disciples of the
Star Pavilion all laughed together. But
I felt that his appearance was very charming and lovely, so I took his cake and took a bite.
“I’m your Elder Martial Sister. My name is Sang Sang.”
His embarrassed little face broke into a smile and he called out loudly, “Elder Martial Sister.”.
Ye Zhan, like me, is an orphan. To be precise, all the children in the Star Pavilion are.
The master taught us skills, and we worked for the emperor who lived in the imperial city.
Others call us the Royal Dark Guard. In fact, we are more like a group of dead soldiers who work hard at any time.
Secretly for the emperor to solve the problems he can not decide in front of people, do a good job of splendor and wealth; do a bad job of death.
This is a high-risk occupation.
But if you look at my masters who are getting fatter and fatter, there’s nothing wrong with being able to stay here compared to the orphans who can’t survive the winter every year.
I suddenly remembered that Ye Zhan had been in Zhongtai Mountain for eight years. The first day of the seventh month of
last year was his 18th birthday, and it was also the time when he could ask his master for a unique skill.
I asked him, “What skills did you ask the master for in last year’s school selection ceremony?” “The secret art of transfiguration,”
replied Yeh Chien quite proudly.
I frowned in surprise. “The three masters of Chung Tai Shan each have their own unique knowledge, and they are all better at using poison to refine medicine. How did you get the most unpopular one?” Swordsmanship and hidden weapons
have always been the most popular among the disciples of Xingge.
Transfiguration. Almost no one is interested.
After all, in our line of work, we can’t pretend to be a ghost and scare the enemy to death. Transfiguration, I really can’t think of any help to complete the task. But
Ye Zhan hid behind my cloak, smiling like a child: “I’m not good at martial arts, and I can use some of my transfiguration skills to save my life in the future.”
I smiled and stopped talking.
Transfiguration is used to save lives. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, but if Ye Zhan said it, it’s not surprising.
In the evening, several masters from Zhongtai Mountain held a celebration banquet for me. As their most proud disciple, I never fail in every mission.
But this time lurking in the imperial city, pretending to be a palace maid to assassinate the regent, it was a headache for me. The old fox,
the regent, was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined. In
the first two encounters, I not only failed to hurt him, but also got a blood hole in his left shoulder by his dark guard. When I was recovering
in the palace, the little emperor often came to see me. He liked to listen to me talk about interesting things outside the palace, sometimes concentrating, sometimes laughing, as if he was no different from the son of an ordinary family. I don’t know why every time the master mentioned
such a friendly king, there was a look of fear in his eyes.
Later, I completed the task of assassinating the Regent.
It’s just that I didn’t kill him. The night before I did it, he died in Xinna’s beautiful concubine Furong’s tent. The
Prince Regent died of excessive indulgence at his age. This incident became the laughing stock of the people in the imperial city for a time.
The little emperor summoned me and said to me, “Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty. I didn’t expect that the emperor’s uncle would be no exception.”
I knelt in front of his throne and said nothing.
He took me by the hand and lifted me up from the ground. “I am no exception,” he said.
The little emperor suddenly put his arm around my waist and pressed it close to my ear. “Sang Sang, will you stay by my side and protect me forever?”
I didn’t understand at the time, so I pushed him away, folded my fists and bowed, saying, “The maidservant obeys the decree, but..” You’ll have to add a few more rewards every month. The emperor who
was pushed away by me was not angry, but smiled very brightly.
“All right, listen to you.”
A few days later, the little eunuch beside the emperor came to my residence and read out the imperial edict in front of the ladies of the court.
It turned out that the emperor wanted me to be his concubine by staying with him. When
I was in a dilemma, there was a sudden event in the palace.
The queen died suddenly, and the queen mother contracted a strange disease one after another. The imperial physician in the palace was at a loss what to do, so he had to invite the witch doctor outside the palace.
The witch doctor told the emperor that these were caused by women who were about to be brought into the harem. She was hit with an evil spirit, and the horoscope was extremely unfavorable to the harem.
There is no doubt that the woman is me.
That night the emperor came to me, reeking of alcohol, saying that he could not bear to part with me, and that although he was a ninety-five year old, he did not live happily. When I
heard this, I silently pulled out my knife and said, “Why don’t you show your majesty a flower knife and let your majesty have a good time?”
The emperor stared at me for a long time. The light in his dark jade eyes gradually faded. He smiled bitterly. “That’s all right. I’ll send someone to take you out of the palace.”
The next day, I put on my red dress and gauze hat, and rode away from the imperial city.
Along the way, I heard everyone talking about a good-looking maid in the palace who was lucky enough to be named an imperial concubine by the emperor, but she was an ominous monster who killed the queen and infected the queen mother with a bad disease.
Finally, he was executed by the emperor overnight. At the
celebration banquet, according to the usual practice, I toasted several masters, and accepted a few bottles of flattery wine from the younger brothers and sisters. Maybe the new wound was not healed, and I was always a good drinker. I was a little drunk tonight.
“Sang Sang, I heard you had an affair with the emperor in the palace. Is that true?” Among the
three masters, Hong Su is a passionate and unrestrained master of using poison.
She has always been keen on the sex gossip outside the mountain. This time, the object of gossip became her familiar apprentice, and naturally she had to get to the bottom of it.
I held the glass and waved two fingers.
Red Crisp cried out in surprise, “What?”? With two legs? You are my good disciple of Hongsu! I said you were the most famous girl in Zhongtai Mountain besides me. No, even our emperor has fallen at your feet.
Hong Su shook her slender waist and walked to my side. She wrapped her long snow-white arms around my neck and put her arms around my head with a smile. “Sang Sang, would you like to give up playing with knives and guns and learn more about the charm of poison with your teacher?”? From ancient times to the present, beauty and poison are the two most lethal weapons.
“Master Hong Su, Elder Martial Sister, she’s drunk.” A pair of hands took my arm and rescued me from the surging arms of the red crisp. After saluting the others,
Ye Zhan turned to me and asked, “Elder Martial Sister, shall I take you back to the Mulberry Garden?”
I purposely got away and quickly replied to him, “Good.”
“It’s you again..” Watching Ye Zhan help me leave the banquet, Hong Su smiled meaningfully. “I’ve been pestering your Elder Martial Sister all day. I’m afraid I’ve fallen in love with your Elder Martial Sister for the first time.”
At the moment, I was so dazed that I didn’t hear Master Hongsu’s words clearly, nor did I notice that the corners of Ye Zhan’s mouth around me were slightly bent. Late
at night, Ye Zhan only sent me outside the gate because of his identity. He stood under the apricot blossom tree and watched me enter the house. When
I was ready to close the door, I saw that he still didn’t want to leave. Thinking of the past, the child was most greedy for the preserved fruit I made, and always ate it before going back to bed.
I have been down the mountain for more than a year, and he hasn’t eaten preserved fruit for more than a year.
So I untied a sack from my waist and beckoned to him, “Ah Zhan, you come.” A smile immediately appeared on
Ye Zhan’s face and he ran towards me.
Sure enough, I am greedy for preserved fruit.
I opened the cloth bag and took out a dried apricot from the oil paper inside and handed it to his lips. For a moment,
he opened his mouth and bit the dried apricots on my fingertips.
I laughed and said, “I stole this from the emperor’s Imperial Garden when I was in the palace.”. The apricot trees there are more luxuriant than those in Zhongtai Mountain, and before early summer, the apricot trees are full of fruit. Hiss.. There was a slight pain in
the fingertips.
Ye Zhan ate the dried apricots from my fingertips and licked away the remaining powdered sugar.
He looked at me and said innocently, “I’m sorry, Elder Martial Sister.”. Did I accidentally bite your finger?
I shook my head and handed over the whole bag of dried apricots. “If you like it, take it all back.”
Ye Zhan didn’t answer.
The night wind gently blew the black hair on his shoulder, and the silk-like hair gently brushed the back of my hand, as cold as water.
Tonight, the moonlight shines brightly on Ye Zhan, who likes to wear white clothes, like a layer of fog.
For a moment, I felt a trace of gloom in his gaze as he gazed at me.
“Does the Elder Martial Sister like the apricot trees in the palace?” Ye Zhan suddenly asked me without beginning or ending.
I thought about it and answered, “No.”
Ye Zhan turned and stared at the small apricot tree outside the fence of the mulberry garden. I planted it with him a few years ago, and he usually came to water and fertilize whenever he had time. But five years later, the apricot tree still only blossoms but does not bear fruit.
I thought he was upset because of this, so I patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, maybe we’ll have apricots next year.”
Ye Zhan looked back at my hand, which was still resting on his shoulder, and moved his Adam’s apple, his eyes darkening.
“Elder Martial Sister, if you don’t like the apricot trees in the palace, do you like the emperor?”
“Of course I don’t like it either.” I was stunned by his question and said with a smile, “Well, Younger Martial Brother, even you have learned to tease people.”. Master Hongsu’s words cannot be trusted.
I reached out and flicked his forehead as I had imagined, but his hand stopped me on the way.
His palm was wide and warm, and he wrapped my hand tightly in it. Just as
I was wondering when the coward who used to follow me had grown up, he took the opportunity to take the cloth bag from my hand. His tone was much more relaxed than before: “At least Master Hongsu was right about one thing.”
“Which one?”
“The last sentence.” The
last sentence?
Beauty and poison, these two together are the most deadly weapons?
I shivered in the cold wind and fled back to the house, afraid that goose bumps would fall all over the floor if I was one minute later.
The next morning, when I was sleeping, I was suddenly awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
Zhongtai Mountain is rarely lively.
Counting the days, I immediately sat up in bed. I
left Zhongtai Mountain for so long that I almost forgot about it.
Today is the wedding day of Elder Martial Brother Six and Miss Pearl, and it is also the day when he said goodbye to Zhongtai Mountain.
When I arrived at my brother’s residence, the courtyard was already crowded with people. In the uniform
pure white disciple’s clothes, a touch of rich red flashed like a flame.
“Elder Martial Sister!”
It’s Ye Zhan.
He was tall and straight, with fresh clothes and black hair, and he was taller than his brothers. When he saw me, he kept waving to me.
“Ah, the bridegroom and the bride are not the only ones wearing red today.”
“Look at it this way. Younger Martial Brother Yeh and Elder Martial Sister Sang Sang are really a good match.”
I smiled at my joking classmates and went straight to Ye Zhan.
“Elder Martial Sister, this pine nut candy is delicious.” Ye Zhan gave me all the wedding candies he had just got.
I peeled one off and put it in my mouth. I looked up at him and said, “You are dressed for joy today.”
“I saw that Elder Martial Sister usually looks good in red, so I secretly cut out a suit.” Smiling, Ye Zhan leaned toward me and asked me in a low voice, “Elder Martial Sister, do I look good in red?”
It was the first time I had stared so closely at someone whose face was white against the sun.
Ye Zhan bent his eyebrows and waited patiently for me to answer.
I said honestly, “Well, it looks good.” The smile
in Yeh’s eyes was even greater. He looked at the Sixth Elder Martial Brother and the bride, who were worshipping Heaven and Earth, and tugged at my sleeve. “Elder Martial Sister, I heard that a disciple of Chung Tai Mountain can leave Chung Tai Mountain with success and fame as long as he completes Master’s ten errands.”
“Mmm.”
The master said that the emperors of ancient Yinguo were all benevolent and virtuous. We work for the emperor
in the dark, although we can’t be promoted like the courtiers in the court, and our names are recorded in the annals of history, but we are also the great heroes in the heart of the emperor.
The emperor had granted special permission to the disciples of Zhong Taishan to choose their own lives if they could successfully complete ten errands. So
Elder Martial Sister will be able to leave Chung Tai Mountain soon. If Elder Martial Sister wants to get married in the future, should she consider.. Ye Zhan’s words were drowned out by everyone’s noise.
In the hall, Master Hongsu is shouting, “Send to the bridal chamber.”. But the
Sixth Elder Martial Brother stood where he was and did not hold the hand of the bride beside him.
The Elder Martial Brotherther was a little flustered. He opened his mouth, but he could only give a hoarse sob. In the
crowd, a timid Younger Martial Sister exclaimed, “Elder Martial Brother, he’s lost his tongue!”
The surroundings fell into a dead silence in an instant, and even Master Hongsu was rarely silent. The old Mammy, who had been sent by the
palace to act as a matchmaker, urged him repeatedly with an expressionless face, and only then did the Sixth Elder Martial Brother tremble and stretch out his “hand” from his wide sleeve. As soon as my
chest stagnated, I stared at the half-broken palm for a long time, unable to move my eyes, until the backs of my brother and the bride were fading away in front of me, turning into a blurred scarlet.
Elder Martial Sister, it’s still early to leave the banquet. Let’s go for a walk by the river.
Cold palm came a burst of warmth, Ye Zhan pulled me out of the crowd together. When
we got to the river, the wet wind pulled my mind back a little.
Looking at the reeds swaying in the wind, I moved my hand to the sword at my waist. “It was made by the emperor. It must be him.”
Obviously, before I left Zhongtai Mountain last time, the Sixth Elder Martial Brother was fine.
That day, the sixth brother told me happily that the emperor was very satisfied with the last job he had done, and had decreed that he and Pearl would be married, and the wedding date would be next spring.
Zhan, the Sixth Elder Martial Brother, in order to marry the imperial maid Pearl, every time he went down the mountain to carry out a mission, he could only win. Never let the man down. Why. Does he still want to do this to Elder Martial Brother?
Ye Zhan stood quietly beside me, listening to me about my brother. He stared at the river with a chill in his eyes. “Because of the emperor’s benevolence.”
I gave a sneer. Yes, because of the emperor’s benevolence.
Because of this, he wants us to be the knife in his hand and do all the dirty things for him that he dares not and cannot do.
Whether we are really loyal or not, we will pay the price for seeing the dark side of the emperor in the end.
My hand was grasped again, and Yeh Zhan took my hand and shook it as he had done when he was young: “Elder Martial Sister, at the worst, we will never leave Zhongtai Mountain.”
Looking at Ye Zhan’s unworldly appearance, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness in my heart. I
had never thought of escaping from Zhongtai Mountain, but at this moment I wanted to take Ye Zhan away immediately.
“Ah Cham, I’m a little worried.”
Ye Zhan took the initiative to lower his body, put his head close to me, and comforted me softly: “Don’t worry, Elder Martial Sister.”. If I were Elder Martial Brother Six, I would not allow anyone to hurt me. Because I can’t let my future wife be sad. I have to be strong and protect her all my life.
I sighed helplessly, “But with your swordsmanship, you can’t even kill a pheasant.” For a long time
after that, I didn’t receive any new tasks. On the contrary, Ye Zhan frequently ran out of the mountain.
Fortunately, the tasks given to him by the master are not important, and he can always complete them smoothly.
Winter was coming, and my kneecap, which had been injured by a fall, began to torture me day and night. Ye Zhan, who
had just come back from the outside, rushed to the mulberry garden to see me
. He bought me a snow fox skin with the new reward money and said he would make a kneepad for me with his own hands.
Ye Zhan pinched the embroidery needle and sewed one stitch at a time on the skin of the snow fox.
Within half an hour, a kneepad took shape.
I sat opposite him, and the more I looked, the more sleepy I felt. I have no patience at all for this kind of delicate work.
Zhan, you can’t do anything else, but you have a good job. You are the most skillful man I have ever seen. As soon as I said this, I thought it was inappropriate, so I quickly explained, “I mean..” Zhan is really clever. Unlike me, even when I sew on a button, it’s crooked.
Ye Zhan listened, Qingjun’s face flew on a touch of crimson, which made his face more vivid and beautiful.
He looked up at me and said, “Elder Martial Sister must find a husband who can sew clothes for you.”
“Husband?”
“Mmm.” The charcoal in the
charcoal basin was burning red, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange.
I raised my hand and scratched my hot ears, watching Ye Zhan’s side face fall into a brief silence.
“All right, Elder Martial Sister, give it a try.” When he
came to his senses, Ye Zhan was already half kneeling in front of me, carefully tying the ropes on both sides of the kneepad to my legs.
His cool fingers accidentally touched my calves through his pants, and my ears burned a little. I quickly pushed him and said, “I’ll do it myself.”
Unexpectedly, the younger martial brother who looked soft and soft on weekdays was easily pushed to the ground by me.
I was anxious to pull, but was caught by his long legs, the whole person swooped on him, just sat up Ye Zhan and pressed back to the ground.
“Elder Martial Sister, it hurts..”
“I’m sorry,” he says. “Maybe I’ve been practicing martial arts so hard that my hands are a little too strong.” Just then
, a figure broke in outside the door, and the footsteps stopped abruptly not far from us. With my
hands still propped up on Ye Zhan’s chest, I looked up and saw Master Hongsu’s chief disciple, Little Younger Martial Sister Morning Glory, holding a ball of thread and looking at us with shining eyes. Elder Martial
Brother Yeh, I’ve brought the silver thread you asked me to take. However Now it looks like you won’t be needing it for a while.
I quickly got up from Ye Zhan and tried to explain something. But
Ye Zhan beat me to the punch, covering my ruffled collar and whispering, Elder Martial Sister, she didn’t do it on purpose, and I didn’t get hurt. Younger Martial Sister just thinks she didn’t see anything. Younger Martial
Sister Qianniu’s eyes were so bright that she dropped a sentence, “I know!”! I promised not to tell anyone, including my master, and rushed out of my mulberry garden in a hurry. Looking
carefully, she went straight in the direction of Master Hongsu’s residence.
I lamented in my heart: This is over.
Sure enough, the next day, the whole Zhongtai Mountain was full of rumors that Ye Zhan and I could not control ourselves, and we were doing dry firewood in the mulberry garden.
Ye Zhan stepped forward to help me explain to everyone. But
Master Hongsu said, “Don’t be shy. Master is also an experienced person.”. Besides, our Chungtai Mountain is not a temple with strict rules and regulations. You are at an age when you are full of vigor and vitality, so it’s hard to avoid being a little impulsive.
Master Hongsu looked at me again and said, “Only, don’t let the emperor know about this.” What does
this have to do with the emperor? Remembering Elder Martial Brother Six, who had since become disabled, I twisted my eyebrows and said in a cold voice in front of everyone, “There is nothing between me and the emperor, and even if I really like someone, he can’t control it!” Master Hongsu, who had been smiling for
a second, suddenly turned pale. She stood up stiffly from the chair on the corner of the table and suddenly knelt down on the ground.
I was wondering when a familiar voice came from behind me.
“Chung Tai Shan is very busy today.”
The emperor took off his shawl and handed it to the accompanying slave as he walked slowly into the room.
He wore a brocade dress with white moon and clear wind, and without a dragon robe, he looked more like a gentle and noble son than when he was in the palace.
But at the moment, the childe is angry.
His face was blue, his eyes were cold, and the darkness that was no longer concealed piled up unscrupulously between his eyebrows.
I finally understood why the great master was once drunk and called the present emperor the Jade Face Shura.
“Sang Sang, this is the first time I’ve left the palace because I want to see someone.”
Suddenly, the emperor had come up to me, and his well-knuckled hand was wrapped around my wrist with a piercing chill.
I broke free without mercy.
The emperor rubbed his palms and leaned close to me. “That night,” he said with a smile, “you said you were going to show me your sword. Is that still true?
“Didn’t the emperor also say that he would let me go that night? Don’t you want to count?”
I met his eyes coldly. The smile on the
emperor’s face was disappearing little by little.
He said, “Sang Sang, you are fine.”
The emperor turned to brush his robe and sat down, and Master Hongsu quickly handed over the teacup.
He lowered his head to drink in the tea room, and his eyes were locked on one side of Ye Zhan.
“Is it you who seduced Sang Sang?” The emperor blew on the tea buds, with a sarcastic smile at the corners of his mouth. “It really gives birth to a good skin.” In
my impression, this was the first time Ye Zhan saw the emperor, and I always thought he would tremble.
But at the moment, Ye Zhan’s face was flat. He looked directly at the emperor without fear, and even raised his eyebrows indifferently.
A sentence of “praise of the emperor” came out of his mouth neither salty nor light.
I turned to look at him worriedly.
Yeh Zhan also looked at me and winked at me. Then she turned around and added, “Elder Martial Sister, she often says I’m good-looking.”
The emperor clenched his teeth, his eyes sulking, and the tottering teacup was thrown back on the table with a bang. The room was
full of people kneeling on the ground, and only Ye Zhan and I were still standing.
The emperor suddenly laughed and asked the slave beside him, “I remember that the eldest princess likes to keep the head of the face.”. Did the princess ask me for a young and beautiful slave a few days ago?
“Your Majesty, if you can give the young man in front of you to Your Highness, Your Highness will be very happy.”
Nonsense. This is Sang Sang’s junior fellow apprentice. If I had really done this, wouldn’t Sang Sang blame me?
My stomach is churning with nausea, and the dialogue between the master and the servant is the ultimate interpretation of Yin and Yang.
I clenched my fists and whitened my phalanges. Appreciating my anger,
he changed the subject with a melancholy smile and said, “After all, I traveled through mountains and rivers to win the hearts of the beautiful people.”. Sang Sang, can you come to me tonight and tell me more interesting things about this mountain?
At night, I carried the flagon to the Moon Garden where the emperor lived.
It’s probably the best room on Zhongtai Mountain. It’s surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can see the starry sky on the top of the mountain when you open the window. When I
was young, I took Ye Zhan to sneak through the window. They were lying on the windowsill, eating sugar cakes and counting stars.
Counting, I lost my patience and complained that the stars were like sesame seeds on a sugar cake, too many to count. But
Ye Zhan said, “No, I think the stars are like Elder Martial Sister’s eyes.” Angry,
I pointed to my own eyes and said, “Ah Zhan, how many eyes do I have on my face?”
Ye Zhan chuckled. He tugged at my sleeve and shook it gently. “I mean, the stars are as beautiful as Elder Martial Sister’s eyes.”
In fact, at that time, I had already distinguished Ye Zhan from the younger martial brothers.
Until now, he has always been my favorite.
My feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every step I took hurt my knees.
On the way, someone stopped me.
I looked up and started backwards. The woman standing in
front of me had a face exactly like mine.
It’s just that the dark clouds are rolling in her eyes at the moment.
“Elder Martial Sister, you can’t go.”
It’s Ye Zhan. In a short time, he was able to make the transfiguration so superb.
Ye Zhan took me by the hand and said, “Let me go for you. Anyway, I won’t let you go to him tonight.”
I shook off his hand and laughed cruelly, “Will you go instead of me?”? With this little piece of transfiguration you just learned?
Ye Zhan stared at me in a daze, and the light in his eyes became hazy.
My heart seemed to be pricked by an ice pick, but I couldn’t relent.
If Ye Zhan went instead of me, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor by beheading him, or the emperor would be so angry that he would give him directly to the notorious long princess. Either way
, I don’t want him to go through it.
I ruthlessly pushed him away and said, The winter in Zhongtai Mountain is too hard. I’m fed up with all the bloody errands I can’t finish, and I don’t want to end up like Brother Six. If it can be appreciated by the emperor, it is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, in this world, only he can protect me. If you really want me to be good, you should help me. With
that, I resolutely walked towards the Moon Garden. When I passed by
him, I saw the hatred and pain on his face, which was exactly the same as mine, and the mist in his eyes was getting thicker and thicker.
Ye Zhan’s back collapsed straight, as if trying to restrain something.
The moonlight stretched the shadows that met and split each other very long. After all, he was the younger martial brother who listened to me.
Ye Zhan did not catch up, and I did not look back.
“Unappreciative!” The emperor, dressed
only in his middle clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, his hair in disorder. Blood ran down the wound on the back of his hand, staining half of his arm.
I put away the machete in my hand and said with an expressionless face, “Didn’t the emperor regret that he didn’t see the maidservant playing with the flower knife that night?”? As soon as the maidservant started playing, why did the emperor rush over to act as a human stake?
“Bitch!” Like an enraged lion, he stared at me with scarlet eyes. “You’ve already done the same thing as the wild children of your hometown. What are you pretending to be in front of me?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Younger Martial Brother!” I stepped forward and put a bright knife on his neck.
“You want to kill the king?” The emperor winced and then straightened his back.
I looked at him coldly and said, “The secret guards of the Star Pavilion are not afraid of life and death.” “Sang Sang,”
he said slowly, “you are not afraid of death. But what about the lives of all the disciples of Chung Tai Shan?
My grip on the knife slackened a little.
Why don’t you do something for me. If you do it well, I won’t embarrass your fellow disciples any more.
He gently pushed away the knife in front of his neck, and a dim smile appeared on his pale face: The border between the two countries has never been peaceful. Not long ago, the Northern Xinjiang Emperor sent an envoy to ask me to send a beautiful woman to make peace. I think Sang Sang. Very beautiful.
The emperor’s blood-stained hand touched my cheek, and the tiger’s mouth moved to my neck and tightened sharply.
If you don’t want to be my woman, then be the woman of my old enemy. The emperor of northern Xinjiang was born of barbarism, and he had more experience than I in taming a disobedient wild horse.
Looking at my red and purple face pinched by him, his dark eyes suddenly shook, and then I was thrown heavily to the ground.
“I will draw up a new identity for you.” The emperor stopped looking at me as if he were extremely tired. “Don’t let me down, Sang Sang,” he said with a deep sigh.
With a secret decree, I became Princess Yongzhen, the emperor’s foster sister, from the dark guard of Zhongtai Mountain.
Yongzhen is the title given by the emperor. It
is well known that the emperor of Northern Xinjiang was dissolute and immoral, and he was a straw bag who only knew how to bend a bow and shoot an eagle. When he was young, he singled out a group of grey wolves for the favor of the beauties in the Bo clan.
As a result, the wolf tooth was obtained, but the beauty was also scared to death. It is said that when the beauty saw the Northern Xinjiang Emperor, half of his face was torn by wolves, leaving only a few bones.
I sat quietly on the bumpy carriage, holding a pine nut candy that was about to melt. There was a rapid sound of hooves behind the
carriage, and I suddenly lifted the curtain.
It’s my schoolmate Qianniu.
Younger Martial Sister rode alongside me. I asked her in a low voice, “Have you found him?”
Younger Martial Sister smiled bitterly and said, “Before he left, he stole a stack of human skin masks from the Second Master.”
I put down the curtain in silence. An angry voice came from outside the
bus: “Elder Martial Sister, that fellow has always been timid.”. As soon as he heard that you had been punished for refusing to marry the emperor, he changed his face and ran away overnight. If you can’t protect yourself and you’re still worried about his life, I’m afraid he’s already..
“Thank you, Younger Martial Sister, for coming to see me off. We’re almost at the city gate. Let’s say goodbye here.” I interrupted her in a hoarse voice. “If he goes back, please take good care of him for me.” The
carriage drove day and night, and the farther north it went, the colder it became. My leg disease broke out frequently on the way, and worse, when we were about to cross the border, we met robbers again.
The band of outlaws, numerous in number, not only robbed for money, but also killed for fun.
The dowry maid and the bodyguard were killed one after another, and the groom climbed into my carriage in a desperate struggle, followed by the masked robber, who wiped the groom’s neck with a knife.
Blood splashed on my wedding dress, and I frowned.
The robber thought I was afraid, so he hooked me under the chin with a lewd smile and said, “Don’t be afraid, beauty. As long as you’re comfortable serving me, I’ll leave you a whole body.”
I pinned my broken hair behind my ear and took off the earring.
The robber’s eyes were straight and he couldn’t wait to untie his belt.
Carbuncle’s ears were cold at my fingertips, and they could shoot into his throat in a snap of a finger.
But before I could do it, the robber suddenly froze. The fight outside the carriage ended with the
crisp sound of the sword returning to its scabbard, and the robber in front of me fell on his back like a marionette.
The cold wind poured in from the raised curtain of the car, and I smelled a strong smell of blood.
A bloodied guard stepped on the pedal and held out his hand to me.
“I hope Your Highness will forgive me for the late arrival of the slave rescuer.”
I stared at his face, trying to connect him with the man I knew.
But when I saw the mountain of bodies behind him, I stopped thinking.
This man is introverted and steady, and his swordsmanship is far above mine.
Should be the emperor placed in the team inside the master, in order to ensure that the marriage can be achieved smoothly.
I sneered in my heart that the emperor was afraid that I would run away halfway.
I handed him the half-melted pine nut candy and said, “This is for you.”
He hesitated for a moment, took the sugar and thanked me.
I closed my eyes and said wearily, “Let’s go on. Don’t miss the good time.”
Three days later, we arrived in Northern Xinjiang smoothly.
The bodyguard escorted me to the palace gate, where he, who was silent, said goodbye to me: “May the princess do all that she wishes for the rest of her life.”
I smiled faintly. “Thanks a lot.”
That night, I was dressed up by a group of maidservants and sent directly to the bedroom of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang. Inside the
palace, the earth dragon was burning.
I lay naked in a huge fleece, with only my head exposed.
The whistling wind with a clear sound kept beating against the window, listening to a fog in front of my eyes.
I remember Ye Zhan once studied with Master Hongsu for a few days. He said that when he finished his study, he would be the first to play for me.
It’s just that he’s ignorant and often gives up halfway.
I do not know how long time passed, the closed door creaked open.
It was not the emperor of Northern Xinjiang, but a maid in pink clothes.
She folded her hands in front of her to show her respect, but her eyes were contemptuous. “Princess, he will not come tonight.”
Before I could make a sound, she added, “The princess must not know that the King of Xiling in a neighboring country has also sent a beautiful woman to the palace today.”. Your Majesty is now in the beauty’s bedroom. With
that, she made a gesture of invitation to me.
I put on the dress she brought, only to realize that she had not prepared boots and socks. “I’m sorry, Princess,” said the maid in
pink with a half-smile. “That’s the rule in our northern frontier. If the newly conferred concubines are not seen on their wedding night, they all have to go back to their own bedrooms barefoot. I walked on the snow one deep and one shallow,
holding the wool blanket when I came.
Along the way, they met the maids on night duty, and they all hid behind their backs and pointed.
I don’t care. The training I received in Zhongtai Mountain since I was a child is a hundred times more cruel than stepping on snow barefoot.
But the music in my ears was so gentle that I was distracted, slipped on the soles of my feet and fell heavily on the steps. The old
knee injury recurred and the whole leg was too stiff to move. There were a lot of people coming and going, but they just didn’t see it. The
rough ice and snow fell on my face and turned into water. When
I was shivering with cold and almost unable to hold on, a tall figure walked quickly against the flying snow.
The maidservants fell to their knees in terror and addressed him as “the king.”. The King of
Northern Xinjiang put his cloak over my shoulder, and I looked up in amazement at his dark eyes.
The grey wolf mask covered half of his face, and the other half of his bare skin was like a withered old tree, which was even more ferocious and horrible.
He didn’t seem to like my naked eyes at the moment, frowned and leaned over to get me into his arms.
I was about to struggle when his gruff voice sounded in my ear: “If you don’t want to die, hold on to me.”
I was placed on the bed, and the king of the Northern Territory covered me with blankets one by one, until I uttered a muffled groan, “Your Majesty, that’s enough.”
He looked at me helplessly, his hands red with cold clinging to the corner of the quilt. “You’ve been trembling just now. Are you better now?”? Does your leg still hurt?
I stared at him and did not speak.
His eyes were restless. He hurriedly took off his big jacket and got into my bed. His hot chest pressed against my back and confined me tightly in his arms.
“Wouldn’t that be better?”
“The king has forgotten that there are earth dragons in the royal palace in northern Xinjiang.”
He rubbed his lower jaw against my neck as if he had never heard of it. When he saw that I was not moving, he lifted himself up and looked at me. “Why didn’t you resist me?”
“For you are he, not the king.”
I reached out to uncover his mask, and under the mask was a boney face. Undaunted,
I stroked it and said, “Younger Martial Brother’s transfiguration technique is really exquisite.” The eyes of the man in
front of me flashed slightly and suddenly pulled me into his arms.
“Ah Cham, it’s really you.” My eyes burned and my voice trembled uncontrollably. “Why are you here?”? What about the real emperor of northern Xinjiang?
Ye Zhan clung to my ear and said gently, “Elder Martial Sister came here to make peace in order to save me. Ah Zhan has no way to repay me. He has no choice but to give his life to Elder Martial Sister.”
He took my hand and put a pine nut candy with his faint body temperature in my palm. Shaking in my
heart, I looked at him in disbelief. “That guard is you.”
Ye Zhan nodded his head.
Not only that, but I am also the beauty of the Kingdom of Xiling who just poisoned the King of Northern Xinjiang. When I came out, I left a piece of fire on the body of the king of the northern frontier. Within half an hour, he would turn into a charred corpse.
He spoke with a relaxed face, but I pinched a cold sweat.
I couldn’t believe it and said, “You said it was too difficult for you to learn.”. And your swordsmanship..
“Can’t you even kill a pheasant?” Yeh Zhan grabbed my sleeve and shook it gently as before. “There are so many brothers from the same school in Chung Tai Shan. If I don’t pretend to be useless, how can I get more care from Elder Martial Sister?”? Elder Martial Sister, I haven’t told you. I like you very much. The snow
outside the window was getting stronger and stronger, and Ye Zhan held my sleeve forward.
I did not escape, his kiss gently brushed my lips. The flame on
the candlestick trembled, and my breath and his breath were a little confused.
He suddenly took my face in his hands and kissed me unexpectedly. When I
first tasted the sweetness on the tip of his tongue, I responded to him in a daze.
Just as I devilishly put my hand into his collar, he suddenly let go of me, with an apology in his eyes: “Elder Martial Sister..” Will I offend you with this face?
I caught my breath and said, “You have offended me without offending me.”
「…… That’s right.
Ye Zhan’s eyes flashed a trace of cunning, bent over and took away my last bit of strength.
“Princess, what are you going to do in the future?”
“Since this palace has come to make peace, it is only natural that it should accept Yen’s decree and strive for the honor of the mother and the son in the coming year.”
“Lonely feeling..” There is no need to wait until next year.
