Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 39: The Yue Hongling in his heart

Views:

"I told you not to run around. If this is really a fake bandit den, how do you want to die? Fortunately, these pits are new and there is no time to plant thorns underneath. Otherwise, it would be funny if the second Qianlong Yue Hongling died here. I wonder if the Chaos Book will crash..."

Zhao Changhe was still smart enough. He didn't let anyone watch Yue Hongling getting out of the pit. He drove everyone away before he managed to pull her out. He then gave her a scolding when he got back to the house.

"Other bandit dens wouldn't be so full of traps! Besides, isn't yours a bandit den? Can you tell me what a bandit's wife is?" Yue Hongling gritted her teeth, not caring about the pain from the sword energy in her body, and glared at him.

"What else can I say? My house was robbed, and you guys took this woman who didn't know how to live or die?" Zhao Changhe said unhappily, "Sister Yue, you are injured and have no power to resist. A group of people with spears can kill you. If you don't say you are one of us, what do you think you should say?"

Yue Hongling was stuck there and didn't know how to refute it.

There is really no way to refute it, you can only say that it is your own people. And your own people, women, in your house, do you want to say that they are ordinary friends? Then wouldn't it be that the ears of others are trying to cover up the truth, and wouldn't it only get an ambiguous "oh~" in return? Isn't it still the wife of the leader of the gang...

“I didn’t expect that the sword energy would be so chaotic. I didn’t know how to do that when I sneaked in before... It shouldn’t be that bad...” Yue Hongling looked a little stupid.

That’s it, my reputation.

You shouldn't have come to this crappy place.

Zhao Changhe glanced at her sideways, and his preconceived impression of this woman was almost turned upside down in an instant, but surprisingly, he didn't feel it was shattered at all. Instead, he found her somewhat cute.

"Okay, okay, don't look so upset." Zhao Changhe handed over a glass of water. "Anyway, no one knows you are Yue Hongling yet. Just don't go to the so-called bonfire party. You usually hide in the house and leave after a few days. Who knows who you are? At most, they will think that I brought a woman back from the earthen brothel in the city to play with for a few days."

Yue Hongling said expressionlessly: "If you didn't say the last sentence, it would be a consolation."

People imagine that I'm some kind of woman from a brothel, and you've hidden me in your house and played with me for a few days

Go to hell.

Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's no use hiding it, so what are you going to do, my dear sister?"

The word "sister" was used twice in a row, which was full of sarcasm. It was basically a mockery, as if to say, "How could I have been so blind to call you sister when you were like this?"

Yue Hongling gnashed her teeth in anger: "Find me a set of clothes from your village, I'll put on some makeup, and go out to eat and drink with them openly, what's wrong? There are so many people in the world who look alike, why do I have to be Yue Hongling? Can I be called Lin Hongyue?"

What is Luo Qi...

"It's okay to change clothes and put on makeup, but not for going out for a drink. You're injured, don't be stubborn." Zhao Changhe stood up and patted her shoulder: "Makeup is for you to behave normally, go out when you need to, beat people up when you want to, and don't need to hide. That's not the Yue Hongling in my mind. Let's put it this way, I'll find you a set of clothes, someone's valuables were not packed up and taken away, she is about the same size as you."

Seeing Zhao Changhe rummaging through the cabinet at the end of the bed, Yue Hongling's expression became a little strange again.

The Yue Hongling in his heart...

what is that

Soon, a set of clothes was thrown over, which even had a faint fragrance. "You take a rest, I'll go out and drink with them. It's New Year's Day after all, and it's not good for the village leader to be seen as not having fun with others and hiding in the house to play with women."

You played a shit woman!

How vulgar.

There's clearly nothing going on, but these bastards make it seem like everything has been accomplished.

Wait, whose clothes are these and why do they smell like a woman

He is indeed a vulgar mountain king. He must have really played with women here!

Yue Hongling pinched her head in pain, but she couldn't get angry when she saw Zhao Changhe striding away.

It's really interesting. He seemed to have an imaginary Yue Hongling hidden in his heart. When the real Yue Hongling did not match him, he actually maintained his imaginary image.

Don't worry about it, just pee first, I'm dying of holding it in. Yue Hongling looked around the room and ran to the toilet as if she had seen a relative.

… …

As the night deepened, bonfires were lit everywhere in the village, and the noise was deafening.

There weren't many frivolous people in the village, only about three or four hundred in total, but the scene of three or four hundred people gathering together to drink was still very spectacular, noisy and bustling.

The village chief's house was much higher than the square. Yue Hongling put on his clothes and went out, looking down at the hustle and bustle below.

There is a large flag on the sidelines, fluttering in the wind in the night. You can vaguely make out a few large words on the flag: "Carrying out Justice on Behalf of Heaven."

Yue Hongling looked at the flag with interest, thinking that these four words were often the excuse of many bandits. However, he did not seem to intend to enforce justice on behalf of others. He just followed his own way.

Her eyes wandered around the field and soon found Zhao Changhe. He was too eye-catching.

Zhao Changhe carried a large wine jug and went around drinking with people, accepting everyone who came. His voice was so loud that it could be clearly heard amidst the noise.

"It's just a few glasses, aren't you a man? Drink it up and stop pretending!"

"A fighting and drinking contest? Great! That's a good idea. You divide into groups and I'll offer a reward. The winner gets money and the loser gets to drink!" "Boss doesn't sound good? Then what do you think we should call him? King? Stop being funny, okay? Uh... Big Boss? You're not as good as Zhizunbao."

"When will it be the second level of the Xuanguan? I don't know, who cares."

Yue Hongling also heard words related to herself, as if someone asked: "Boss, Yue Hongling passed by before, maybe she is still nearby, what do you think we should do if such a strong man comes to suppress us?"

Zhao Changhe waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I will do it!"

Yue Hongling: “…”

"Hey, Boss, where is your sister-in-law hiding in your room? The more I think about it, the more I feel that she looks a bit like Yue Hongling."

"How many dishes did you have to drink so much? If Yue Hongling was really in my room, I would have gone in to play long ago if I were still talking nonsense with you guys."

Yue Hongling: “…”

"Well, I'm not saying that's Yue Hongling, she just looks a bit like her. Boss, you didn't choose your sister-in-law based on Yue Hongling's appearance, did you?"

"What's wrong? Is it not okay to choose one based on Yue Hongling's appearance?"

"So the boss likes this..."

Someone else next to him said, "Nonsense, Yue Hongling is so beautiful, who wouldn't want to press her on the bed?"

Yue Hongling: “…”

"Hahaha, that's exactly what you said!" A group of people began to flatter him: "I think the boss is worthy of Yue Hongling, and it will be real sooner or later!"

Zhao Changhe, who had always been at ease, was now a little overwhelmed: "Drink, drink, stop dreaming about Qingqiu! If you can't drink, go sit at the dog table!"

Of course I can't resist it. God knows whether Yue Hongling will hear these words. The five senses of Xuanguan Bachong are no joke!

Then someone came up with something even more tactless: "If the boss finds Yue Hongling, then what about Saint Xia... uh..."

“Fuck…” Zhao Changhe’s face flushed red, and he couldn’t tell how much of it was from the alcohol and how much from his anxiety.

Then someone who had woken up hurriedly said, "Boss, you should drink less too. My sister-in-law is still guarding the empty room... What Yue Hongling and what saint girl, they are just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Amidst the laughter, Zhao Changhe retreated in embarrassment: "Come on, I'm going to go back and take a look. I don't want to bother with you guys. Just have fun."

As soon as I returned to the house, I saw Yue Hongling standing outside. When she glanced over at me, I couldn't tell how much shame and anger were contained in her beautiful eyes.

Zhao Changhe almost wanted to run away. It seemed that she had heard everything... The sword energy in her body was not always effective. If she was really angry and chopped him with a sword, he would not be her opponent...

Fortunately, Yue Hongling did not say something coldly like "What are you going to do if Yue Hongling is really in your room?" Instead, she suddenly smiled and said, "This pool is too shallow. You are the only one in the entire village. I don't understand. You have great ambitions, so why are you content to hang around here? What's more, your way is completely different from the Demon Cult. How can you stay here?"

Zhao Changhe heaved a sigh of relief. Yue Hongling in this state was exactly the Yue Hongling in his mind. He became happy and answered seriously: "In the short term, it is still suitable for me... Well, it can be regarded as a safe place for the initial stage? The people around the first and second level training are very suitable... At this level, if I rashly go out into the world, I don't know who I will run into and I will die. As for the Demon Sect..."

He paused, then suddenly laughed and said, "There have always been some scumbags who come to cause trouble, but no real demons have come to provoke me, and no bounty hunters have come to me. That's because I am a member of the Blood God Cult... Not everyone dares to mess with the Blood God Cult."

“That’s right…” Yue Hongling nodded: “After all, you have only practiced martial arts for less than two months. It is very rare for you to have achieved what you have now… Maybe you are too imposing, and people always feel that you are like a well-known master.”

At this point, she frowned slightly and said, "Your luck is strange... Now the government is looking for you, which means you are not tolerated by the righteous path; if you rashly leave the Demon Cult, the Demon Cult will not tolerate you either, and you will have no place to stay."

Zhao Changhe smiled. His road was indeed very troublesome. He was suspected to be a prince. Even if Tang Shouzu knew about it, he would not dare to withdraw the wanted order. Otherwise, it would be seen by someone with ulterior motives, which would indicate something and make him more dangerous. In other words, before he officially recognized his father, the wanted order would probably remain in place.

If he didn't want to take that path, like now, once he betrayed his religion and went out into the world, he would be incompatible with both the righteous and the evil, and every step would be full of thorns. This was also one of the reasons why he was still hesitant to leave this small pond.

Of course, if you have enough strength, that won’t be a problem.

"So..." Zhao Changhe suddenly laughed: "Can I learn martial arts from my sister?"

Yue Hongling's eyes flashed.

The two looked at each other with complicated expressions. Under the moonlight and amid the hustle and bustle, it was like a still painting.

It turns out that after going around in circles, it is still the same as when we first met.

After a long time, Yue Hongling also smiled: "Okay."

Thanks to Xunmeng no Tun Miao, A Xiang, Victor Corleone, Ingra Kua, Wu Ye Zui Xiang Le Shang Meng. Sorry that I didn't pay attention to the rewards these two days. Belated thanks. Love you~
