By the time he returned to the city, the sky was already filled with stars. When he escorted Miss Xu to the entrance of the camp, he saw Hu Bugui and the others standing in the distance, winking and smiling strangely, their expressions indescribably strange.
Xu Zhiqing hurriedly lowered her head, giving Lin Wanrong a displeased glance, her sparkling cheeks quickly dyed red. "It's all your fault, teasing me, letting them laugh at me!"
Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, holding her hand, and whispering into her white ear, "Let them laugh, there will be many opportunities like this in the future, they will get used to it after laughing and laughing, that's how I got over it."
"I can't be bothered to talk to you, I'm going back!" Miss Xu blushed, turning to leave.
"No hurry, no hurry." Lin Wanrong hurriedly pulled her hand, smiling. "There is one thing, a very important thing, I haven't had time to do it!"
As he spoke, he blinked mysteriously, his cheeks moving closer.
What important thing have you not done?! Miss Xu's expressive eyes widened, looking at his cheeks so close to her, her heart pounding, her palms sweating.
Lin Wanrong gently kissed her bright red cheeks, saying with a smile, "That's the thing, you see, it's very important!"
"Roar roar, one more, one more — —" Gao Qiu and the others whistled loudly, strange laughter rising and falling.
Xu Zhiqing trembled all over, her cheeks bright red like blood, turning around to flee. "You despicable person, I hate you!"
"Miss Xu, have a good dream tonight!" Lin Wanrong waved his hand and laughed.
"Dream your head!" Xu Zhiqing, in embarrassment and anger, hurriedly paused, bending over to grab two handfuls of sand. She turned and threw it at him. Lin Wanrong jumped away with a strange cry. His hands patted away the dust. Miss Xu chuckled, looked at him affectionately, then turned and quickly entered the camp.
Hu Bugui and the others came over with strange laughter. Old Gao clicked his tongue in admiration. "Look, this is a trick! I've said it before, as long as it's a female, even if it's a female housefly, it won't be able to escape from Brother Lin's hands! This is how Military Counselor Xu fell. You've finally seen it, haven't you? "
Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, and the others were filled with admiration. He cupped his fists and bowed. Lin Wanrong snorted and said unhappily, "Stop flattering me! In the future, when I'm whispering to Miss Xu, you're not allowed to peek! I only have these trump cards left. If you guys learn all of them, I won't be able to survive! "
Everyone laughed out loud. The heavens had finally fulfilled their wishes. To be able to personally witness General Lin and Advisor Xu's reunion was a wonderful thing.
They joked for a while. It was getting late. Lin Wanrong had something on his mind, so he didn't stay in the camp. He waved goodbye to everyone and left. The night sky was clear. The night sky was filled with stars, and Xing Qing Manor was exceptionally quiet and serene. Dogs barked and children cried from time to time. It made people feel like they were truly alive.
As he walked into the simple and crude courtyard, a fragrant aroma assailed his nostrils. The faint candlelight was reflected on the window screen, white and quiet, incomparably warm.
"Sister!" The wooden door was not bolted, so it opened with a light push. He happily stepped in and smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, but there was no one in the room.
He lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. There was a small tea stove on the table, and the medicinal soup was boiling. A woman was standing in front of the stove, her rosy little mouth gently blowing at the boiling medicinal soup. A faint mist lingered in front of her cheeks.
She carefully held the bowl with both hands, slowly raised her head, and smiled at him, "Little thief, it's time to take your medicine!"
"Sister — —" Lin Wanrong's nose turned sour, and his eyes reddened. He stepped forward, wanting to hug her.
"Take your medicine first!!" The fairy's beautiful eyes moved, and she smiled as she pushed the bowl of soup in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. Lin Wanrong grunted and took the bowl of medicine. He did not care that it was hot and bitter, and gulped it down in a few big mouthfuls.
Seeing him drink all the medicine, Ning Yuxi nodded slightly. She took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wiped the remaining juice from the corner of his mouth. She smiled, "That's more like it. But I'm a little curious, why are you so obedient today?!"
"I've always been like this." He smiled and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at the fairy's beautiful face and said gently, "Sister, can I hug you?! Trust me, the very pure kind! "
Fairy Ning's cheeks flushed red. This was quite strange. Could it be that this little thief's temperament had truly changed? How could he be so refined in the past? Let alone pure things, it wasn't as if he hadn't done things that were a hundred times more filthy.
"Why are you asking me?" Ning Yuxi lowered her head and said softly, "When did I not listen to you?!"
The little thief laughed and buried his head in her bosom, rubbing it a few times. The fairy's body heated up, and her heart raced. She was about to speak, but she felt that the person in her bosom suddenly stopped moving, and only hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his bones.
What was going on, did he really become obedient? Ning Yuxi was a little surprised. She looked down and saw the little thief's eyes were wide open, shining brightly. He was staring blankly at her, and the gentleness in his eyes could even melt a hard steel knife.
The fairy's heart trembled, and for some reason, sadness and happiness welled up in her heart. Instantly, tears flowed down her cheeks.
"What happened, why are you looking at me like that? Smiling and crying, her slender hands gently brushed away the tears from his hair.
Lin Wanrong climbed up and tightly held her hand, staring at her blankly, "Sister, when I saw Hu Bugui and the others this morning, I was so happy that I turned around, but I couldn't see you!"
The fairy smiled and shook her head. "You've reunited with your old friends, so you should be happy. It's inconvenient for me to be by your side, so I should leave! What? Are you afraid that I'll run away?! "
Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh and said softly, "To tell you the truth, I'm just worried that you'll leave me. That way, no one will coax me to take medicine, no one will hug me to sleep, and no one will secretly give me acupuncture at night. I won't have a fan, I won't have a pillow, and I won't have a fairy sister. What's the point of living?! "
Fairy Ning wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and gently smiled. "Nonsense, haven't I been waiting for you here?! Perhaps I was a little hesitant in the past, but the moment you used your body to shield me, I knew. I've fallen into your curse for all eternity, you little thief! Want me to leave you. Then, you can only take my life! "
"Don't worry, don't worry, no one can hurt sister!" The little thief grinned and held her hand, saying firmly, "I know. It's because you're Qing Xuan's master that you've never been truly happy. That's why you want to return to Qianjue Peak! But sister, don't worry, I'll definitely solve this matter! Think about it, who am I? I'm the famous Lin San! North and south of the Yangtze River, inside and outside the Great Wall, who doesn't know of brother Lin San's ability? Hehe! "
The fairy wiped her tears and shook her head with a smile. "You really know how to brag! If you have the ability, then first solve the matter of the Turkic Khagan, then I'll believe you! "
This was really touching a sore spot. His previous lofty aspirations disappeared without a trace in an instant. Lin Wanrong frowned and shook his head. He let out a long sigh. "It's not like sister doesn't know about the matter between me and Yue Ya 'er. It's related to the family and country. It can be said to be a separation of life and death, gratitude and hatred. You can think of almost everything. How can it be so easy to solve? If I really go up and negotiate with her, it'll be a mixture of gratitude and resentment, laughter and tears, joy and sorrow. What kind of negotiation can we have?! "
What the little thief said made sense. This kind of unclear and messy situation would only make the situation even more unpredictable!
The fairy nodded slightly. "It's a little messy, but no matter what, it should be better than the current situation! Now that the two countries are in a stalemate, if we're not careful, it'll be a life and death struggle, and the people will be plunged into misery and suffering! By that time, it'll be hard to resolve the accumulated grudges. Both sides will be like fire and water, and one side will only stop when one side is destroyed. That situation, no one will be able to get away with it! "
Lin Wanrong was silent for a long time. He said softly, "Sister, you mean, I should go?!"
"Some things, if you keep running away, you won't be able to feel at ease. It's better to face it with an open mind. Whether it's life or death, you have to figure it out! " Ning Yuxi gently stroked his hair and said softly, "I can't influence your will. You have to make the decision yourself."
To go or not to go?! Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh. His intuition told him that this was the bitterness of life!
…
The endless sandstorm roared, sweeping across the desert, sweeping across the grassland, spiraling up into the sky. With a loud bang, it scattered in all directions, setting off a thick sand rain. It was a spectacular sight.
A few fine horses galloped over and stopped outside the long shed. Xu Zhiqing jumped off the warhorse and shook the dust off her body. She shook her head and said, "I don't know what's going on today. Such a violent sandstorm has not been seen outside the Great Wall for many years."
"Compared to the whirlwind of the Sea of Death, this little bit of quicksand is nothing!" A faint sigh sounded beside her ear. It was neither near nor far, neither fast nor slow, as if it was a decadent sound that came from beyond the heavens.
Miss Xu turned her head and saw that the beautiful Golden Saber Khan had unknowingly stopped her horse and was standing by her side. Her eyes were looking at the quicksand that filled the sky. Her eyes were sometimes bright, sometimes gloomy, sometimes shy, sometimes sorrowful, just like a painting. Her side profile was dignified and gentle, faintly revealing a sparkling brilliance. Two streaks of white hair hung on her beautiful temples. In the sky full of sand, they were as noble and dazzling as pure plum blossoms.
Xu Zhiqing cupped her fists and said in a sweet voice, "Great Khan came so early!"
"Isn't Miss Xu the same?!" Yu Jia's gaze was indifferent as he glanced behind her and shook his head slightly. "Old General Li did not come, and Miss Xu only brought a few attendants. Since China is so neglectful, it seems that there is no need for today's negotiation!"
"Great Khan, you are speaking too early." Miss Xu scoffed. "The negotiation between both sides has nothing to do with the number of people. Marshal Li did not come in person because he has told me everything. As long as Great Khan is sincere, Zhiqing can represent China. We can talk about anything. "
Yu Jia looked up at the sky full of sand and was silent for a long time. Then, he sighed softly. "Alright, this is the last chance that the heavens have given us. I hope Miss Xu will treat it well. Whether our two countries will rest in peace or fight, it all depends on Miss Xu's decision. "
Xu Zhiqing smiled coldly. "That should be what I am saying to the Great Khan!"
Yu Jia closed his eyes and said softly, "Lu Dongzan!"
The Turkic Imperial Advisor placed a palm on his chest and said respectfully, "What is the Great Khan's order?"
Yue Ya 'er said lightly, "As the Turkic Imperial Advisor, negotiating with Military Advisor Xu, I believe we did not neglect our esteemed guest from China. National Preceptor, are you clear about the conditions I've mentioned?! That is the limit of the Turkic Khaganate's tolerance. We will not take another step back. "
Lu Dongzan nodded slightly, looking very confident. Xu Zhiqing understood. The Turkic Great Khan had already set the conditions. The negotiation with Lu Dongzan was just a formality. Obviously, in the current situation, with Yu Jia's stubbornness and her courage to fight to the death, China and the Turkic Khaganate would never be able to reach a compromise.
Was the negotiation over just like that?! Was he really not coming? Could he really let go of this prodigy of a woman? Were China and the Turkic Khaganate going to fight like this forever? Xu Zhiqing sighed silently. She did not know if she should be happy or worried. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"Miss Xu. Do you think there is a need for our two countries to continue negotiating? "Yu Jia's gaze was unhurried as she stared into Xu Zhiqing's eyes. An indescribable pressure was pressing down on Miss Xu's heart.
The prodigy of this generation of grassland woman was indeed extraordinary. Xu Zhiqing calmed her breathing. Just as she was about to speak, the sound of hooves could be heard. A horse galloped over from afar. It was a China soldier.
The soldier ran straight to Miss Xu and knelt down. "Reporting to Military Advisor Xu. The general said that the Turkic Khaganate likes to play such games of oppression. Then let them play! We and the Turkic Khaganate. There is no need for negotiation. Military Advisor, please return to camp. "
General? Which general is it? Xu Zhiqing was stunned for a moment. She suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "He, he is here?!"
"Yes! General requests Military Advisor Xu to return to camp! "
Xu Zhiqing cheerfully turned around. Gazing into the distance, a carriage stood quietly amidst the dust of the desert. The curtain of the carriage swayed slightly. The yellow sand danced in the air, almost covering the carriage completely. From where it stood, it was only a few miles away from the long canopy, but the carriage did not move.
Miss Xu smiled and nodded. She faced Yu Jia and said proudly, "Since the Great Khan thinks that there is no need for us to negotiate, then there is no need to waste time. We will meet on the battlefield in the future. Zhiqing, farewell! "
She flipped over and mounted the horse, brandishing the horsewhip. The divine steed let out a long neigh, shook its four hooves and entered the sandstorm, galloping into the distance.
This scene was beyond everyone's expectations. The speed at which China left the negotiation was much faster than the Turkic Khaganate. They came and went without any hesitation.
The Turkic Imperial Advisor was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he hesitantly asked, "Great Khan, what do we do now?! Do we really have to start a war with China? Great Khan, Great Khan … "
He asked a few times but there was no response from Yu Jia. He could not even hear her breathing.
Lu Dongzan hurriedly raised his head, only to see Golden Saber Khan gazing deeply into the distance, the small hand holding the golden saber actually trembling slightly.
"Great Khan …"
"Prepare the horse!" Yu Jia called softly. Her tone was firm.
The Turkic knights had already sent off their steeds. As Yu Jia gazed at the distant carriage, her heart began to thump in her chest. She did her utmost to calm her breathing and then leaped onto her steed. With a shout of "Hyah!", her body shot off like a golden bolt of lightning into the dust.
Lu Dongzan was shocked. He quickly waved his hand. "Great Khan, that is China's border. You can't go there! You can't go there!"
Yu Jia's body was strong and swift like the wind. How could she hear his shouts? Seeing that Xu Zhi Qing had already rushed to the front of the carriage, her head poking out to talk, the smile on her face more beautiful than a flower, the carriage also turned around and was about to go back.
"Hyah!" The Turkic Great Khan angrily bellowed. Aiming at the slowly moving carriage, he pushed his horse's technique to its peak and shot forward like a shooting star. The quicksand of the desert whistled past her ears like a rain of arrows.
Three hundred zhang, two hundred zhang. The carriage was getting closer and closer. She could see the curtain swaying. Yu Jia gritted her teeth and lashed out with her whip. The horse whinnied and shot forward like a bolt of lightning.
"Stop!" The horse whinnied at the sky. A golden figure appeared in front of the carriage like a bolt of lightning. The horses on both sides stopped at the same time. They angrily whinnied at the sky.
Xu Zhiqing was shocked. She angrily said, "Turkic Great Khan, what are you trying to do by trespassing on China's border?!"
Yu Jia shook his head silently. He jumped off the horse and walked forward step by step. The closer she got, the more intense her heartbeat became. She almost stopped breathing.
Her body trembled. She weakly leaned against the shaft of the carriage. She stretched out her slender hand and gently touched the curtain. Tears blurred her eyes. "The person in the carriage, do you dare to kiss me?!"
