Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 122: The waves are rippling, the cold moon is silent

Views:

Originally, Yue Hongling didn't want to see Zhao Changhe make a fool of himself, nor did she want to see how he would chase her.

What's so good about this

She seemed to be sitting there waiting without saying a word, but she was actually very panicked because she didn't know how to end this situation. She felt that if she stopped him, Zhao Changhe would lose face.

Zhao Changhe's reputation has been a mess since his debut. He is either a traitor or a bloodthirsty person, and he is either dumped or driven away. He is not afraid of boiling water, and one or two more things will not make a difference. But as a friend, and a chivalrous woman who values her reputation very much, Yue Hongling really doesn't want to see her friend always casually and without any regrets ruin her reputation and become the laughing stock of others after dinner.

Since she had already turned her so-called secret love into an open pursuit in public, then she should pursue it. It was only natural to pursue the opposite sex she admired. Yue Hongling was so beautiful that she had encountered at least 80 open and covert pursuers when she was wandering around the world. It was not strange to have one more. As long as she was not rejected in public, there was nothing to laugh at.

So “I have no objection to that”.

Anyway, you won't really chase me. I don't know how cowardly you are when it comes to this kind of thing, even though you appear to be a king on the surface...

Three years later, maybe he will be on the list of the best, and then he can become the son-in-law of the Cui family. Then, wouldn't this scandal in the eyes of others come to an end and be over

Others are cheering and watching for fun, wanting to see how he chases her, but he doesn't know how at all, so isn't that great, so cute.

When he was pushed to the limit, he actually attacked...

How can a young girl of twenty, no matter how dashing and masculine she is, be completely without any imagination about her future husband

That is to hold hands with swords, help each other, and travel the world together.

Unexpectedly, the reluctant words he uttered due to the humiliation directly hit the mark of expectations.

Yue Hongling was confused for a moment, and didn't know how to respond for a while, her eyes were blank. It was not until she saw Zhao Changhe's red face with his eyes closed turned into surprise and opened his eyes that Yue Hongling suddenly reacted and looked at the people around her. They had forgotten to drink the wine in their hands, and they all held their breath like a bunch of idiots.

Yue Hongling suddenly burst out laughing again: "That's great, maybe it will be possible one day."

Grass

Everyone in the room was shocked and the wine was about to be spilled.

Zhao Changhe was also shocked and almost dumbfounded.

But Yue Hongling said slowly: "I am confident that I can be on the list in the next few years. I guess not many people will doubt it?"

Everyone said: "Ms. Yue should be on the Human Ranking now."

Yue Hongling shook his head: "It's just a little bit of a challenge... The reason why Chi Li never really challenged the Grandmaster of the Human Ranking is that he felt that he was still a little bit inadequate. Although he might be able to make it, what he wanted was a hearty victory, to be on the list in the most dazzling manner, and maybe even his goal was not to be at the bottom of the list..."

Tang Buqi was stunned: "How do you know?"

Yue Hongling said calmly: "Because I am too."

Tang Buqi: “…”

Wan Dongliu said: "So, if we give it another year or two, it won't be a big problem? Hiss... Miss Yue is only twenty this year!"

"The goal I set for myself is two years." Yue Hongling said, her eyes unconsciously becoming somewhat defiant - her goal was to be Xia Longyuan's age, and to be on the list directly before the 70th place or even higher, instead of just barely squeezing in at the last place at the 72nd place.

The heroes of Jianghu did not respect the emperor and had no thoughts of usurping power. Instead, they respected Xia Longyuan's achievements in martial arts and hoped that they could be similar to him or even surpass him.

Xuan Chong sighed and said, "Two years, twenty-two, what a great ambition. I am already twenty-two this year... and have accomplished nothing, nothing."

Wan Dongliu glanced at him and said, "I am twenty-three years old, and my ranking is much lower than yours, so are you laughing at me?"

Xuan Chong raised his cup to apologize, and said with a smile: "I made a mistake. I don't judge heroes by their rankings."

"No..." Tang Buqi asked curiously, "Weren't we just talking about Miss Yue and Brother Zhao? Why did we suddenly change the topic?"

Zhao Changhe, who had been pretending to be dead and keeping silent, thought to himself, "You stinky nephew, I'll remember you. I finally managed to divert the embarrassment, and now you're looking for trouble, right?"

Yue Hongling did not take it as an offense and smiled slightly: "This is the topic just now. Although I said that choosing a spouse does not necessarily require a strong person... but if you want to join hands with me, your partner cannot be much weaker than me, otherwise how can we work together?"

Everyone nodded: "Yes."

Yue Hongling said: "If I really make it onto the Human Ranking within two years..."

Zhao Changhe scratched his head: "Will there be a big difference? I think I've been very good for two years, so the difference shouldn't be that big..."

Yue Hongling glared at him and asked, "What are you doing? Are you serious about this?"

Zhao Changhe coughed dryly and sat down obediently.

Yue Hongling snorted softly: "I believe that Brother Zhao will improve quickly, and may even be stronger than Hongling in the future... But if Brother Zhao is not far behind the human list in two years, then does he want to chase Hongling, or does he want to work harder and get on the human list to find Cui Yuanyang?"

Grass

Zhao Changhe stood there dumbfounded again.

You went around in circles and waited here

Yue Hongling said expressionlessly: "So Brother Zhao, please go back and tell me when you have thought it through." Zhao Changhe: "..."

Is Shura Field a woman's talent? You are obviously just looking for an excuse, but it is so accurate, as if her sword is difficult to defend against.

Glancing around, I saw a group of people with expressions on their faces that we had been professionally trained not to laugh. The way they were trying to hold back their laughter and twitching could be filmed.

“Puff…” Tang Buqi finally couldn’t hold back his laughter and burst out laughing, then he pounded the table and laughed wildly: “Hahahahahaha…”

Zhao Changhe glared angrily.

However, the laughter was so contagious that even Wan Dongliu and Xuan Chong laughed out loud. Zhao Changhe's idea of beating up his nephew had to be shelved, and his old face turned the color of liver from laughing.

Yue Hongling looked at Zhao Changhe's ugly face and wanted to laugh, but soon she realized that it was bad. She originally wanted to prevent him from becoming a laughing stock, so what should she do now

Even funnier

No way... The hidden meaning seems to be... She really thinks Zhao Changhe can choose her in the future...

Fortunately, these people are not the type to distort and spread rumors. If they were some shameless people, the rumor would probably spread around tomorrow that Yue Hongling and Cui Yuanyang are competing for her husband!

Yue Hongling bit her lower lip lightly, her face unconsciously flushed, contrasting with her red dress. No one knew if it was because of the alcohol or something else.

… …

The banquet was a great success, except for a pig's liver.

In fact, apart from the fun of making a fuss, no one was in the mood to drink and feast. The matter of Chi Li was on their minds and they all had their own thoughts. So the whole banquet lasted no longer than a simple meal and ended soon.

But everyone was very satisfied with the meal, the melon was very sweet today.

Leaving Mingyue Tower, the moon is bright in the sky.

Not far ahead was the Twenty-Four Bridges that Zhao Changhe had been looking forward to for a long time. The water flowed slowly under the bridge, the waves swayed gently, and the cold moon was silent.

Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling walked together very naturally and strolled onto the bridge. Wan Dongliu and others actually thought it was very normal and didn't even look weird. They went back to deal with their own matters.

Isn't this just the woman continuing to give the man a chance to see if he has any further reaction? Who would be so blind as to act like a big lantern at this time

The two stood on the bridge, leaning their heads against the railing, watching the moon in the water swaying with the waves, with its shadows sparkling. No one spoke for a long time, each sorting out the chaotic thoughts in their hearts.

After a long time, Yue Hongling was the first to break the silence: "It's just a step."

Zhao Changhe said "hmm" to show his understanding.

Yue Hongling heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt much more relaxed. She raised her hand and turned her shoulders, smiling, "Well... your medicine is good. It doesn't affect your movements much now."

Cui Yuanyang’s medicine… Zhao Changhe always felt that what she said was still in the Shura field.

What is bloodthirsty Shura? Does it mean that every inch of Shura's field is covered in blood? That's really fucking apt.

In fact, Yue Hongling didn't think about these things at the moment. He felt the injury on his shoulder and whispered, "When it's late at night, I plan to look for Chi Li's trace again, such as the prefect's house. What do you think?"

This is what is meant by the title. It would be strange if Yue Hongling didn't want to kill Chi Li completely. If it didn't rely on many people to beat him up, only Yue Hongling could kill Chi Li. Before Tang Buqi invited him, who the hell dared to go with that idiot? Based on Yue Hongling's injury, Chi Li's injury was not serious or even lighter. Are you going to die...

Zhao Changhe thought about it and said hesitantly: "This can't be a hard fight, right? Are you planning to assassinate me when the opportunity arises? But my ability to hide in plain sight is not very good..."

Therefore, if one wants to join hands with Tianya, one does need to practice a lot, and Yue Hongling’s request is correct.

Yue Hongling smiled and said, "You are not that type, so there is no need to force it. I usually lurk and explore, but I am always worried that no one will support me when something happens. I often dare not act rashly when there is a good opportunity, and watch the opportunity slip away. Now that you are supporting me outside, I can act with more confidence."

Zhao Changhe turned his head to look at her profile.

Yue Hongling didn't look at each other, but looked down at the cold moon under the bridge.

Is this an invitation to join hands? I don't know.

Zhao Changhe suddenly said, "You are all still afraid of my knife throwing, but it's not too outrageous. I'll go find a good bow, which can do more than just support."

Yue Hongling's head seemed to be tilted a little further, and her voice was as soft as if she was talking to herself: "What can you do? What does it have to do with me?"
