Du Suxi met the owner of Xiaoyao Valley again in the small courtyard full of chrysanthemums.
This man seems to really like chrysanthemums. Seeing Du Suxi coming, he put down the shower in his hand and nodded towards Du Suxi.
"I heard that you want to go to the battlefield and make military exploits to prove your strength?" Looking at Du Suxi, the master of Xiaoyao Valley asked directly. His eyebrows were calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
Du Suxi nodded. "Please also ask the Valley Master for your permission."
She was extremely confident that the Xiaoyao Valley Master would definitely agree. As long as you agree to go to the battlefield, when the time comes, you will be outside and the military orders will not be obeyed. It is not difficult to escape by taking advantage of the chaos.
This was a strategy she came up with after thinking about it for a long time. Moreover, this man is an extremely shrewd person. She does not believe that he will not agree. As long as he agrees, it will be easy.
The owner of Xiaoyao Valley raised his head and glanced at her quietly, as if he saw what she was thinking. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Du Suxi and said.
"You want me to promise you? And then you take advantage of the chaos to leave here? It's a good strategy."
He could see through Du Suxi's intention so easily. Du Suxi was shocked, but she didn't panic much. She lowered her head and spoke calmly.
"Please also ask for permission from the Valley Master."
She didn't believe that he would risk the whole world's disapproval by refusing to agree to her.
The owner of Xiaoyao Valley frowned, looked Du Suxi up and down, and asked. "Did I do anything wrong to you? Or was someone bullying you? So you want to leave here?"
Du Suxi raised her head, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected bright and uncertain light and shadow on her face. Looking at Xiaoyao Valley Master who was definitely looking at her, Du Suxi smiled and said. "The Valley Master is joking. The little girl just wants to make a contribution and become famous. Please ask the Valley Master for permission."
No matter what the owner of Xiaoyao Valley said, he was blocked by Du Suxi. For a moment, Du Suxi's defense was flawless.
Looking at Du Suxi who was smiling, Xiaoyao Gu took the initiative to move his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, he sighed and changed the topic.
"Do you know why there is only one kind of flower in this small yard: chrysanthemum?" Before Du Suxi could speak, he continued on his own.
"Because your mother loves chrysanthemums the most."
Du Suxi was slightly startled and understood. Are you trying to play the family card with yourself? However, this doesn't work for me at all. It is really a joke that someone who can kill his own wife with his own hands is here to remember her now.
The disdain in her heart was not revealed on Du Suxi's face. She just remained silently, waiting for the Master of Xiaoyao Valley to continue speaking. She wanted to know what this man wanted to do and what methods he had to do it. She stayed. Du Suxi never dared to take this man lightly.
"The peonies are rich, the peach blossoms are elegant, the lotus flowers are clear, and the cherry blossoms are beautiful. Your mother doesn't like them. She says they are too grand and exaggerated. She only likes this chrysanthemum. She says that although this chrysanthemum can be seen everywhere, it is very tenacious. But it also blooms in a unique style, with a hermit-like style, so chrysanthemums are planted all over this small yard, and this place is her favorite place."
The owner of Xiaoyao Valley seemed to be lost in memories, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he continued to speak.
"Even though she has many shortcomings, she is still my wife. You are her only daughter. The battlefield is ruthless. I will never let you die. So, just give up on this and stay in Xiaoyao." Gu, if you are worried about someone attacking you, I will give you some more people to protect you."
After a pause, he seemed to realize that his words were a little extreme, so he spoke slowly again. "This is also what your mother meant."
It turned out that he really planned to keep her with family affection. When Du Suxi heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips, she stood up, looked at him condescendingly, and said.
"Valley Master, have you ever thought about why my mother would rather put me in the Prime Minister's Mansion and become a concubine without a mother than take me back to Xiaoyao Valley and protect me with her own strength?"
"..." Xiaoyao Valley Master was speechless for a moment, his face turned red, and he forced himself to explain. "That's because your mother was afraid that you would be harmed in Xiaoyao Valley, so..."
Before the words were spoken, Du Suxi had already taken over with a slight smile. "You just left me in Zaifu's mansion, right? Valley Master, you are wrong."
The owner of Xiaoyao Valley stared at her, his eyes flashing a bit cruelly.
Du Suxi was not afraid at all, she met his gaze and spoke slowly without haste. "People of the bright side don't tell secret words,
You and I know exactly what the Valley Master is thinking. What kind of existence is my mother in the Valley Master’s heart? I’m afraid only the Valley Master himself knows this, right? "
The owner of Xiaoyao Valley frowned slightly, but did not speak. Seeing this, Du Suxi continued to persuade. "Valley Master, the little girl has only been named Du since she was little. I hope the Valley Master can understand that the grievances of the previous generation have passed, so let it go. The little girl wants to go to the battlefield to prove her strength and prove that she is not It’s a useless straw bag, please allow the owner of the valley to give it permission.”
The owner of Xiaoyao Valley still didn't say a word, his eyes fixed on the delicate blooming chrysanthemum, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Du Suxi stood quietly without urging, waiting for the answer given to her by the master of Xiaoyao Valley.
After a long time, Du Suxi heard a very low, very low, but extremely clear sigh. The owner of Xiaoyao Valley raised his head, looked at her, and said.
"I said, I won't allow it. If you don't allow it, you won't allow it. No matter what tricks you play, it will be useless. As the owner of Xiaoyao Valley, I am not as easy to bully as you think."
This is a firm statement of attitude, and there is not even the slightest room for relaxation. Du Suxi frowned in dissatisfaction and thought to herself that this matter seemed to be difficult to handle.
However, she had to do it even if it was difficult, and she was not the one to give up despite the difficulties.
Taking a deep breath to calm down her emotions, Du Suxi met the gaze of Xiaoyao Valley Master and spoke. "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. The Valley Master should think about it carefully. The little girl is just a weak woman with a body like duckweed. Why should the Valley Master bother so much? How about offending so many people?"
Xiaoyao Valley Master just frowned and said nothing. Seeing this, Du Suxi didn't force himself and just spoke. "Valley Master, please think about it carefully. The little girl will leave first."
After saying that, Du Suxi turned and left.
Looking at the clear sky, Du Suxi took a deep breath and sat on the carriage absentmindedly. For some reason, she didn't see the housekeeper. She must have something to do, right? Du Suxi thought in her heart and didn't care.
The carriage passed through many pipelines and turned onto a deserted road. Du Suxi, who was sitting in the carriage, finally noticed something was wrong. She glanced at the surrounding decorations and her expression changed!
This is clearly not the carriage she made before coming here!
I got on the wrong bus! Or is there someone deliberately setting her up
Awakened by such speculation, Du Suxi hurriedly opened the car curtain. She subconsciously held the dagger she carried with her in her right hand. She quickly placed the dagger blade across the driver's neck and asked. "Who are you? Stop the car!"
The carriage stopped at the sound.
The driver suddenly spoke. "Du Suxi, it's me."
The voice was so familiar that she knew who it was without even looking. Helian Kuang! Why is he here
Eyes widened in surprise, Du Suxi took back the dagger, looked at He Liankuang who was disguised as a coachman, frowned slightly, and asked. "How will you be here?"
Helian looked around wildly and saw that there was no one around, then he spoke. "My spies accidentally heard that you were in Xiaoyao Valley, so I followed you. Now is not the place to talk. Sit down and I will take you away."
Du Suxi hesitated a little, but still spoke. "I have a special status now and cannot disappear for too long. Otherwise, Master Xiaoyao Valley, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you."
Helian Kuang didn't say anything and drove the carriage into a small farmhouse. As soon as he entered the door, someone opened the door for him.
Throwing the carriage to his men, Du Suxi followed He Liankuang to a room in the center.
Looking around, Du Suxi immediately realized that this was a man's residence. His eyes glanced at Helian Kuang's clothes hanging aside, and Du Suxi immediately understood that this was probably He Lian Kuang's room. .
She didn't hesitate, she found a seat and sat down directly, looking at He Lian Kuang, waiting for He Lian Kuang to speak.
It turned out that He Liankuang had been looking for her these days. As soon as he learned of her whereabouts, he was not sure yet, so he ignored important matters in the capital and rushed to see her.
Hearing this, Du Suxi frowned.
She had always known about Helian Kuang's ambition, and it was hard to imagine that such a man with such ambition would give up everything and travel thousands of miles to find him.
He knew that he was the prince of the Tiansheng Dynasty. Xiaoyaogu and Tiansheng had always been at odds with each other. If his whereabouts were known to others, it would be harmful to him but not beneficial. He should not have come.
After pondering for a long time, Du Suxi finally made up her mind and spoke. "You go back now, don't waste a moment."
Under Helian's surprised gaze, Du Suxi opened her mouth to explain. "You should know who you are. Xiaoyao Valley is a dangerous place for you, and you are not the one who should come here. After I leave, you should leave immediately, otherwise, you may be in danger."
After saying that, Du Suxi turned her head away, a little afraid to look at Helian Kuang. She didn't even know what she was afraid of, but she just didn't dare to look at Helian Kuang, and she even felt guilty about He Lian Kuang.
If he does this for her, even a stone-hearted person will be warmed up, right
Helian Kuang frowned, stared at Du Suxi, and asked slowly. "Why did you leave Tiansheng? Leave with that Shen Mu?"
"You don't have to worry about this!" For some reason, facing Helian Kuang, she just couldn't calm down. She just felt restless and wanted to be angry for no reason, but she didn't know why.
"I don't care who cares! I already know your situation in Xiaoyao Valley. The master of Xiaoyao Valley is not kind to you at all. Your life in Xiaoyao Valley is not easy at all. Now, you and I will return to Tiansheng , I will protect you, your life will be safe!"
He Liankuang's voice was decisive, and his eyes were fixed on Du Suxi motionlessly, his thin lips pursed tightly, his expression full of solemnity, and his resolute facial lines showed that he would never compromise easily.
"Of course I will find a way to leave. You don't have to worry about this." Du Suxi said coldly. There was a sense of tit-for-tat between the two. However, Du Suxi's heart was invisibly getting deeper and deeper. It's getting messy.
He Lian Kuang's breathing became heavier, his chest heaved, but his eyes were staring straight at Du Su Xi, gritting his teeth, He Lian Kuang opened his mouth to warn. "Du Suxi, now is not the time for you to act on your impulse."
"I know." Du Suxi's tone suddenly softened. Looking at He Liankuang, who was frowning and looking puzzled, Du Suxi said slowly.
"I'm thinking of a way to escape from Xiaoyao Valley in the name of going on an expedition. By then, I should be able to escape."
"What do you mean? You want to escape Xiaoyao Valley alone and don't plan to go back to Tiansheng?" He Liankuang immediately caught the key point in Du Suxi's tone. Because of his excitement, he stretched out his hand to hold his hand. He grabbed Du Suxi's wrist and looked straight at Du Suxi, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
How could she? How could you be so heartless? He had come all the way from Heaven, risking his own life, but she ignored her and refused his help? Not ready to return to Tiansheng, what exactly does this woman want to do? Where do you want to go? The world is so big, what does she want
For the first time since he grew up, Helian Kuang wanted to understand a woman's thoughts.
Du Suxi lowered her eyes and looked at Helian Kuang holding her hand, breathing calmly, without even the slightest struggle, just looking at the hands so calmly, and then slowly and softly spoke.
"You're hurting me a little." Helian was startled, and then he hurriedly let go of his hand, feeling a little at a loss.
"Don't worry, I will go back, but I also have my own plans, please respect me." Looking up, knowing that He Liankuang had good intentions for her, Du Suxi raised a relieved smile at the corner of her mouth.
Even though there was renewed dissatisfaction in his heart, looking at the comforting smile, Helian Kuang only felt that all the resentment had turned into soft steel in an instant. The relationship between them seemed to have a kind of , a very subtle yet huge chemical reaction.
Some words don't need to be said. it is more than words.
For a long time, He Lian Kuang felt that he could not say any words of blame at all. He sighed helplessly in his heart. He Lian Kuang took out a delicate small square box and a ring in his arms and placed them in Du Su Xi's hands.
"Inside are some small pills I made for you after seeking medical advice. Although they can't cure your constitution, they can improve it to some extent. If you feel uncomfortable, just take it. If there is anything If anything happens, just ask someone to come to me with this ring."
Looking at the exquisite things, Du Suxi was stunned, raised her head in surprise, and looked at Helian Kuang in disbelief. What this man gave her was too precious.
She knew how valuable the elixir that could nourish the body was. This could be seen from how the Pisces old man treasured the thousand-year-old ginseng and how Taohua cherished the Guiyuan Pill. Now He Liankuang was working hard to collect it for her. Although he didn't say it, how could she not understand? Unexpectedly, Helian Kuang would treat him like this.
There was a feeling of emotion in my heart. Du Suxi bit her lip, but said nothing.
Everything is said without saying anything, and it is useless to say anything.
