Naturally, he would not know that GongYimo's equestrian archery skills were honed from fighting on the battlefield! He would also not know that in her previous life, the two of them had fought on this grassland. He, the Son of the Eagle, was not a match for the Executioner.
But, so what?
The wind blew away all the memories. GongYimo believed that in this life, killing was already very far away from her. She no longer had to worry that one day she would wake up on the battlefield and sleep with a corpse as her pillow.
She, who had a broad mind, seemed to have blended into the wind. She could easily feel Longcheng Wuji's impatience, so much so that when he ran in front of her, she could 'see' his furrowed brows.
The blow he received today was too big. He was even preparing for his own wedding, but his fiancée did such a thing.
GongYimo sighed and then slowed down. If he wanted to win, then so be it. Anyway, this Lou Ye would not be her homeland. She was about to leave, so why bother?
Suddenly, a magnificent scene like the Milky Way appeared in front of GongYimo!
In her previous life, she saw the Sacred Lake in the gray day.
At that time, the water of the Sacred Lake was dyed red with blood. But in this life's night, the Sacred Lake she saw was like the Milky Way. It was clear and tranquil. In this kind of night, it seemed to gather all the stars, forming a sparkling Milky Way on the ground.
"You lost."
Long Cheng Wuji's soft voice came. GongYimo was slightly stunned and did not regain her senses.
At this moment, Long Cheng Wuji sat on the horse and silently looked at her. His eyebrows relaxed, like a silent mountain. Looking at her like this, GongYimo suddenly felt a trace of … something called pressure.
She casually spread out her hands, "If you lost, then you lost. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Long Cheng Wuji jumped off the horse and extended his hand to her, as if he wanted to help her down the horse.
Gong Yi Mo was stunned for a moment before she jumped down. She felt the slight fragrance of grass on her face. She closed her eyes comfortably and unconsciously took a few steps forward.
"Is it beautiful?"
Long Cheng Wuji's soft voice came from behind her. Here, he seemed to have shed all his sharp edges. He was like a different person compared to the angry person who wanted to kill her in the day.
At this time, he pulled out a string of things from his arms. Gong Yi looked at them and found that they were all famous brands, but most of them were made of animal bones. Obviously, these were brands that were made for themselves by the common folk and were not recognized by Lou Ye.
But GongYimo's sharp eyes saw a silver branded item. That … might be Old Cha Er's.
Long Cheng Wuji stepped forward.
"In Lou Ye, everyone's origin."
Longcheng Wuji squatted on the surface of the lake and looked at the clear lake. His heart seemed to have found peace.
"Those of high status can obtain life medallions here. Even the poor have to bathe here before they can be considered to have a new life."
He looked at the nameplate in his hand and smiled. "What you call a nameplate is your spoils of war. In Lou Ye, this is our life nameplate! Only those of high status are worthy of it …. Once I was born, the elders of the clan would take my hair to the Sacred Ancestor. He would use our first strand of hair to make a life tablet that belongs to us. It can't be lost, it's one of a kind. That's why … we all started from here, bathing in the first drop of water in the world. "
At this moment, Longcheng Wuji's voice gradually lowered as he sighed.
"And this is also the place where life ends … When I die, my life tablet will sink to the bottom of the lake as if it had never appeared. The only thing that proves that it was here will eventually return to the lake. Don't you think it's not worth it?"
He threw all the name tags in his hand into the water and stirred the water. GongYimo then realized that Lou Ye's name tags really glowed in the water!
In other words, the dazzling starlight in the lake was not a projection of the stars, but the shining nameplates in the water! This realization made GongYimo slightly shocked!
In this lake, who knew how many lives were hidden? Years and years of accumulation, their life's glory would finally gather here. Heroic, but short.
Wasn't it not worth it? She thought of what Long Cheng Wuji asked her.
Long Cheng Wuji looked at the lake and smiled. "So when I was young, when I threw the elders' life tablets into the lake, I thought that I must create a great achievement. So that in my short life, I would not sink into the lake, but always shine. I would live in the hearts of the future generations, and pass it down generation after generation. That feeling, was as if I had not only lived for a few decades, but always lived, forever living like this …."
GongYimo did not know why, but from his tone, she could hear a trace of sadness.
At this moment, he had already stood up, and turned to look at GongYimo, and actually smiled slightly.
"With this thought, I always thought that my body did not belong to me. I am Lou Ye's king, so my body, consciousness, everything about me, belongs to Lou Ye, to the sky, to the people, but not to myself. What I want, must be what Lou Ye wants, what Lou Ye needs, is what I should do …."
GongYimo sighed, and said in a helpless tone, "Forget it, forget it! Don't say anymore, I'm not angry with you anymore. Your situation back then … I also understand, so don't say anymore! "
She also had this kind of heavy dream, it made people happy, but also painful, so she did not want to listen to it anymore.
Long Cheng Wuji suddenly could not help but laugh.
"Today, I did my best to win you, even if it cost my life, not to beg for your forgiveness."
GongYimo was angry, and stared at him. She was still angry! This person actually did not want to beg for mercy!
Longcheng Wuji looked at her. That pair of beautiful eyes, even in this kind of night, he could see a wisp of moving blue. His voice had always been calm and heavy, but at this time, it unexpectedly had a bit of a clear and cold feeling that his age should have.
He said.
"I hope that you … can stay in Lou Ye."
GongYimo was shocked, but before she could say anything, he had already revealed his most brilliant smile since they had known each other. Those pure white teeth and slightly shining eyes softened all the corners of his face.
"I want to have you, this is my selfish desire, but I have my responsibilities and mission, so I can't do that. The one I should marry, is Lou Ye's goddess!
But today, I suddenly want to be selfish for once. I want you because I'm happy when I think of you. It has nothing to do with any benefits. It's just the true desire in my heart. It's like riding a horse in the night. My eyes can't see anything. I can only see you. "
