Time passed between farewell and noise.
Although until now, there was no sign that Su Li and the southerners he represented would give up their belief that they had held on to for countless years, but everyone had already seen through countless details that the north-south merging was inevitable. At this moment, a relatively small matter overwhelmed this big event.
The reason why it is said to be a trivial matter is because it is a marriage.
According to the news from the Li Palace, in a very private conversation, His Majesty the Pope admitted that he had broken off the engagement between Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
This news was spread secretly in Kyoto and other parts of the mainland, without any evidence. The East Imperial General's Mansion and the Orthodox Academy kept silent, but gradually people believed it.
At the Ivy Banquet, the Southern Mission proposed marriage on behalf of Mr. Qiushan. At that time, they also borrowed the help of the unknown Chen Changsheng to push in and brought out a marriage certificate. Then a white crane came from the Holy Maiden Peak.
From then to now, this marriage has always been the focus of discussion in the entire continent, because the marriage contract is related to the three young people with the most promising and outstanding prospects in the human world, and it is also related to many things-the state religion, the Holy Maiden Peak, The holy empress, the Qiushan family and the Lishan sword sect, it can be said that the most powerful forces in the mainland are all linked together because of this marriage letter.
Is this how it will end
If this matter is true, and it was Chen Changsheng who took the initiative to ask His Majesty the Pope to break off the engagement, then how should the East Imperial Palace, which has been ridiculed for a long time, deal with itself? The Tianfeng Zhennv, who is loved or admired by everyone, is now facing such an embarrassing situation, how will she feel at this moment
Many people were angry with Chen Changsheng because of this rumor, especially those admirers of Xu Yourong.
However, it was only a rumor after all, no one could ask His Majesty the Pope face to face, and naturally there was no reason to vent his anger to the Orthodox Academy.
Even if people want to ask Chen Changsheng face to face whether this matter is true or not, it is difficult to find Chen Changsheng's person, so all emotions can only gradually accumulate and ferment, or anger, or ridicule, or just want to watch the fun, because each With various emotions, the whole continent is looking forward to the day when Xu Yourong returns to the capital. Looking forward to a battle that seems destined for both sides.
…
…
It was indeed difficult for Chen Changsheng to be met by people. These days he kept going in and out, especially after the rumors that the marriage contract was broken by the Pope began to spread secretly.
Because of this matter, he felt a little sorry for Xu Yourong, because she was a young girl, so he decided to keep silent about this matter, and after Xu Yourong returned to Beijing, he would find a way to tell her the truth about this matter, and let her face the whole world. He offered to dissolve the engagement, and he accepted it. In this case, maybe she won't have to bear strange looks, even if those looks are pity. As for the ridicule and sympathy that will inevitably be given to the engagement party, it's better for him to come, because he is a man.
For some reason, he had never met Xu Yourong, but he was sure that she was not someone who would accept sympathy from others.
So when Tang Thirty-Six heard the rumor and came to ask him, he shook his head and didn't say anything.
The young man who had just entered the capital didn't understand such things as marriage contract or relationship. He didn't know what it was until after Zhou Yuan.
He liked a girl, and that girl died.
He was liked by a girl, and that girl left.
He hoped that Xu Yourong, a girl, would be happier than himself.
During these days, he tried to avoid meeting people, and the number of times he met the black dragon became much more.
He often went to the bottom of the well in Beixinqiao and sent Heilong all kinds of food, especially the big pot rice from the canteen of the Orthodox Academy that she asked to eat.
Every time the black dragon pretended to be quiet and ate food slowly, he would squat under the stone wall and study the formation and the iron chain that trapped the black dragon, but there had been no progress.
One night when autumn went from winter to winter, it was already 3:30, and Chen Changsheng hadn't slept yet.
He stood in front of the window, looking at the big banyan tree whose leaves had all fallen and the lake surface that was beginning to form ice, thinking about something, and then heard a burst of singing from outside the wall in the distance.
He could often hear some singing these nights, and he shook his head.
The Orthodox Academy has now become a famous scenic spot in Kyoto. Because the battle has temporarily come to an end, the number of people in Kyoto who come to see the excitement is much less, but the number of tourists from other counties has not decreased but increased. In addition, the students and teachers in the Orthodox Academy, There are hundreds of laborers together, and there are business opportunities for some people. Businessmen will never miss any opportunities. The entire street opposite Baihua Lane is sold or rented, and has been transformed into various places, including inns and restaurants. , becoming bustling and bustling day by day.
Every day at night, the business of inns and restaurants will become very good. Some of them are famous guests, and of course more are students from the Orthodox Academy. Various methods overcome the concierge and courtyard walls, and then enter restaurants and inns to do things that young people like to do.
Such as eating, drinking, listening to music and talking about life...
Of course, the professors of the Orthodox Academy want to take care of them. They can’t manage the students. They also want to expel those restaurants that bring a lot of excitement, but this is very difficult. No matter whether it is the Orthodox Cavalry, the City Gate Division or the Habayashi Army, there is no way. It was inconvenient for Tang Sanshiliu, who had managed all the restaurants and inns on the opposite side of Baihua Lane, to come forward, because he owned two restaurants and one inn.
In the middle of the night, the bustling is still there, the singing on the other side of the wall becomes louder and clearer, drifting into the Orthodox Academy.
Chen Changsheng was trying to find out the fur that Mo Yu left here one night and stuff it into his ears so that he could fall asleep when he was suddenly attracted by the words and phrases in the song.
The person who sang was probably a freshman from the Orthodox Academy. His voice was very broken. It might still be changing, but his voice was very loud. The lyrics of this song are very simple, not elegant, even a bit vulgar, but full of a youthful flavor, combined with the boy's voice, it looks particularly vigorous.
"Youth are all red, you are the master, if you want the rain, you will get the wind, and if you want the wind, it will be different..."
Chen Changsheng stood by the window and listened quietly.
Listening to this song, thinking about the people and things he encountered in the past two years in Kyoto, he was a little hard to calm down, and countless emotions came flooding in like a tide.
Yes, coming like a tide.
He used to think that this kind of description was an exaggeration in romance stories, but only now did he realize that all of this is true.
He subconsciously touched the stone string on his wrist and returned to Zhou Garden.
He often comes to Zhouyuan these days, sitting in the grassland in a daze.
Or because he felt that being with those monsters was much easier than dealing with humans.
Those monsters were very obedient. Under his arrangement, the waterways were dredged, the grasslands and lakes were rehabilitated, coupled with the self-repair after reopening, Zhou Garden has restored some of its old appearance.
He who cherishes time very much is willing to spend so much time and energy in Zhou Garden because he wants to leave some memories.
He stood at the end of the Zhouling Divine Dao, looking down at the Daoshan Liao commanding tens of thousands of monsters to rebuild the White Grass Dao.
The monsters were all in darkness.
He felt that this scene was a little familiar, and then remembered that he was here with her back then, watching the herd of beasts rushing towards the grassland like a tide.
As a result, sadness and longing flooded in like a tide.
…
…
On the official road in the south of Kyoto, a convoy of dozens of vehicles is marching forward.
Hundreds of Tiannan cavalry rode on mixed-blood flood horses, watching their surroundings vigilantly, protecting the convoy.
Dozens of Nanxizhai disciples and representatives of various forces in Tiannan sat in the car.
The car in the middle is obviously the highest, because in front of the car are eight snow-white Pegasus horses.
It was a big car, or rather a chariot.
Xu Yourong sat in the chariot.
Her black hair was scattered on her shoulders, making her skin like white jade.
The world likes to describe a beautiful woman with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, but how can her beauty be drawn with pen and ink
Her eyelashes are long, her lips are red, her facial features are impeccable, her beauty is perfect without any pressure.
Because she is beautiful and peaceful.
It is like the tea mountain after the rain, the lake before the rain, the fog between the Saintess Peak, and the smoke in the small town.
She returned to the capital this time to bring an extremely important news to the world.
Both Dazhou and Tiannan are preparing for the north-south confluence these days, and the news she brought is the premise, or permission, of all of this.
Then, she was going on a date, or a fight.
The entire continent, even the demon princes in Xuelao City, were waiting to see that battle.
In the eyes of many people, compared to the demon princess Nanke, that person is her real enemy of fate.
Because he used to be her fiancé, but now in the eyes of many people, he is an indifferent man who broke off the engagement and humiliated her.
The convoy stopped suddenly, and with a few soft bangs, a woman lifted the curtain, sat in the carriage, looked at her with complicated emotions and said, "Nephew, the capital is coming soon."
This woman is He Qingbo, the elder of the outer sect of Nanxizhai, whose realm has reached the stage of Gathering Stars.
After saying this, He Qingbo suddenly thought of something, with a nervous expression on his face, he said with some embarrassment: "Qingbo made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Master Zhai."
"Master, you don't need to be too polite."
Xu Yourong looked at her and said calmly, then got up and walked out of the car.
Following her movements, the black hair and white skirt-like sacrificial attire swayed slightly.
The front edge of her black hair was incomparably neat, as if it had been repaired by the sharpest sword, and her eyes became calmer and stronger as it swung.
There is a star-studded belt tied between the white sacrificial clothes, and there is no sword, because she came to Kyoto to get the sword.
Tong Gong was placed in a corner of the carriage, and she did not hold it in her hand, because she did not want to be seen by someone in the capital for the time being.
There is also an umbrella in the corner.
When she came to the official road, she looked at the looming city in the distance, and slowly put her hands behind her back.
Kyoto has no city walls and no real city gates, so when she was a child, she didn't understand why there were city gate divisions.
Following her appearance, the surrounding Tiannan cavalry dismounted as quickly as possible and fell to their knees.
The disciples of Nanxizhai and the envoys who got out of the car also knelt down one after another.
To kneel down is to salute.
"Meet the saint."
Xu Yourong was still looking at the capital.
She hasn't been back for some years, but she is still no stranger to Kyoto.
Because her home is here, Mo Yu, Pingguo, many people she knew when she was a child are here, her mother is here, and that guy is here now.
Suddenly, two lines appeared in the blue sky, one white and one gray, straight into the capital.
Looking at this scene, she came back to her senses, only to remember that everyone was greeting her.
It had been a few days since that incident happened, and she was still not used to it. She didn't know what words to use to reply people's pious and respectful greetings.
Suddenly, she remembered a sentence she often said when she was on that guy's back on the grassland in Zhouyuan. At that time, she never forgot to say this sentence to that guy every day, because it represented her most sincere wishes. Or... is this the most appropriate reply
So she looked at the people and said, "May the Light be with you."
