Ji Wusi looked timid, then followed Ji Wushang out.
Huangfu Ting looked at her stubborn figure; she was small, but very strong.
“One day, I will make you submit!” His thin lips moved.
When Ji Wushang brought Ji Wusi back to his tent, he felt completely exhausted and utterly worn out.
Ji Wusi looked at Ji Wushang and said, "Sister, you're tired, so please get some rest!"
"Hmm." Ji Wushang nodded, but then, thinking of something else, he immediately said, "Quickly call someone in and tell Grandmother that she doesn't need to come over now; the matter is over..."
Ji Wusi could tell from Ji Wushang's eyes that if Ji Wushang couldn't rescue him, he would definitely ask his grandmother to plead with the emperor!
Unfortunately, Ji Dingbei and the others have not yet returned.
Ji Wusi nodded and left.
Ji Wushang felt so tired that he lay down on the chaise longue and fell asleep.
While I was fast asleep, I felt as if someone was gently stroking my face!
Ji Wushang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, but there was no one there! Ji Wushang suddenly realized, what was going on? Was he hallucinating?
Those hands were so gentle.
Ji Wushang looked around and saw only traces of the wind blowing; there was no unusual movement whatsoever.
Ji Wushang sighed. He had probably been overthinking things.
Close your eyes, and then slowly fall asleep again.
"Sleep! Sleep peacefully!" The man whispered the most ancient words in her ear, and Ji Wushang felt her eyelids grow heavier, and she drifted off to sleep.
His nimble hands were caressing her face, and feeling her delicate skin, his heart burned even more fiercely.
"Wu Shang, how about I give you a task?" The man smiled innocently as he looked at her. "I don't want you to kill him. I want you to marry him. Marry him without worry."
Ji Wushang felt uncomfortable with his face being rubbed, so he turned over and found a comfortable position to slowly fall asleep.
"Killing him would be such a waste, so boring." The man was now stroking her dark hair with his large hand, his eyes were a deep blood-red, and his wild dark hair was fluttering in the wind, looking dashing.
He gently ran his fingers through her dark hair, then his thin lips brushed against Ji Wushang's ear, moving slightly as if to whisper something.
Ji Wushang felt as if he were in a dream, very peaceful, but unexpectedly, while playing in the peach blossom forest, he suddenly heard a voice.
Marry him? And marry him with peace of mind?
Who's speaking?!
Ji Wushang tried to struggle, wanted to shout and ask who those people were! But he couldn't break free from this dream!
"Take good care of yourself." The man looked at Ji Wushang with a somewhat unfocused and forlorn gaze. "Don't hurt yourself. I want you, not his life."
A gust of wind blew by, and Ji Wushang tugged at his clothes and then pulled the blanket up a little.
He's gone.
A moment later, Ji Tiankui rushed in from outside. Upon seeing Ji Wushang asleep on the bed, he shouted, "Wushang!"
☆、147 Perhaps it's the stirrings of emotion, this must be love! (Excellent)
"Big brother?" Ji Wushang quickly got up from the bed; he was so tired that he had fallen asleep. "What is it?"
"I heard that the Second Prince actually wanted to kill you and Wu Zi?" Ji Tiankui looked at Ji Wushang's sleeping face and then remembered that he and Ji Wushang were siblings and that there was a difference between men and women, so he took a few steps back. "What happened?"
Ji Wushang then told him everything that had just happened. Wasn't it said that Ji Wusi sent someone to the manor to report the news? Why hasn't Ji Wusi returned yet?
"Where is Wu Zi?" Ji Wushang looked refreshed and in good spirits. He got out of bed, his clothes were still intact, and he wasn't embarrassed at all.
"Yes, that's what I was just about to ask you." Ji Tiankui looked towards the door. "Father has returned. As soon as he heard about this, he immediately went to report to His Majesty. I think the Second Prince will not pursue this matter any further."
"That's excellent." Ji Wushang looked at him. Just then, Ji Wusi returned and, seeing Ji Tiankui there, happily exclaimed, "Big Brother!"
"You naughty girl almost got your sister into trouble!" Ji Tiankui shouted at Ji Wusi.
"Big brother," Ji Wushang said, looking at Ji Tiankui's dark face, "Don't frighten Wu Zi!"
"Hmph, it's better if you're scared! Otherwise you'll cause all sorts of injuries! This is a training ground, a military camp, I've told you so many times! You just won't listen!" Ji Tiankui seemed determined to keep up with Ji Wusi, and he continued to grumble and curse with a hint of anger.
Ji Wushang smiled and pulled Ji Wusi over. Ji Wusi's pouting lips were truly adorable. Ji Wushang touched them and then said, "Wuzi, your older sister has always thought that you are very sensible. So, did you really shoot and kill the Second Prince's tiger this time?"
Ji Tiankui was actually quite shocked. Ji Wusi was only eight years old, yet he could shoot and kill a tiger. What would he be like in the future? He would definitely become even more powerful in the future. However, he needed to be strictly supervised and disciplined, otherwise he would definitely cause a great disaster!
Upon hearing this, Ji Wusi said, "I originally brought my bow and arrows to go hunting in the mountains, but unexpectedly, a tiger suddenly appeared. I was worried that it would hurt others, and I also wanted to fulfill the promise I made to my sister, so I shot and killed it! That's how I got into trouble."
"Hmm, from now on, you must be careful." No tiger will just appear out of nowhere; perhaps the Second Prince is deliberately making things difficult for me? Oh well, let's leave it at that! However, things probably won't be so simple from now on! I wonder if the Second Prince has realized that I've already guessed about his friendship with Ji Yinxue?
Seeing that Ji Wushang was deep in thought, Ji Tiankui took Ji Wusi out with him.
The moonlight grew even more hazy. Ji Wushang sat in his tent, absentmindedly looking at the book in his hands.
——
Upon entering the imperial city, Bei Gong Jue Shi felt as if he had been transported to another world. It had been so long since he had set foot on this land that it felt somewhat unfamiliar. Seeing his somewhat sentimental expression, Yi Yun Muchen knew that there must be a story hidden in his heart within this imperial city. As the second son of the Prince of Zhenbei, he must have many deep-seated memories. However, he wouldn't speak of them, and she certainly wouldn't ask. Parting at the right time was the most beautiful ending.
"Well, if you're thinking of leaving, you can go now," Yi Yun Muchen said after looking at him for a moment.
"You know where your brother is waiting for you?" Bei Gong Jue Shi turned around, looking at her. He felt like he really couldn't let go of this brat. He should just leave her behind and go! He never wanted to stay in this place again! This place that made him feel disgusted and repulsed!
Yi Yunmu shook her head. "I don't know. But I'll look for it. I don't want to hold you back. If you have something to do, you should go first!" If he doesn't leave, he'll definitely see through her sooner or later! It's better to leave sooner and end this friendship sooner!
Bei Gong Jue Shi looked at her and then nodded, saying, "Okay." Then he thought about leaving.
However, Yi Yunmu Chen still felt a little reluctant to leave. Looking at his tall back, she felt a little tired and bitter. His wounded eyes seemed to indicate that he had been owed a great deal.
However, Yi Yun Muchen thought back on herself and realized that finding her brother was really not easy... Bei Gong Jue Shi was familiar with this imperial city and must have a better way!
"Brother Beigong." Yiyun Muchen caught up with him immediately. Well, actually, she really wanted him to help her out again. Calling it taking advantage, calling it selfishness, she admitted it!
"Hmm?" Bei Gong Jue Shi looked down at her.
"Um, could you do me a favor again?" Yi Yun Muchen tentatively probed.
When they found the underground palace in Yiyun Upper City, Yiyun Muchen and Beigong Jueshi entered the palace together. Beigong Jueshi had always been curious about this palace, as he had never seen it before. Having always lived on Wudang Mountain, he returned to the imperial city as soon as he descended. Beigong Jueshi had always obeyed his master's words and had never been overly interested in power. Everything he had done before was to help Beigong Minhao.
Bei Gong Jue Shi carefully observed her surroundings. If she hadn't been worried about Yi Yun Muchen's safety, she wouldn't have followed them in. Looking at Yi Yun Muchen, she saw she was equally anxious. If it weren't for the maid leading the way, the two of them would surely have gotten lost in the palace!
It wasn't until they entered the depths of the palace and saw the person already sitting there that Yi Yun Muchen calmed down.
This is his own brother! At this moment, Yi Yun Shangcheng was dressed in a black silk robe, with gorgeous long hair draped over his body, looking like a dreamlike handsome man. He squinted his eyes, his purple eyes looking at the two people in front of him, guessing their identities, and playing with a crystal ball in his hand, as if he were the ruler of this world.
"Brother, I'm back!" Yi Yun Muchen greeted Yi Yun Shangcheng with a joyful smile. However, seeing that her brother didn't seem excited at all, or even come forward to hug her, left Yi Yun Muchen with a lingering unease. Didn't he seem happy to see her return at all?
"Who is this?" Yi Yun Shangcheng looked at Bei Gong Jueshi with a wary gaze. Bei Gong Jueshi also looked at him with his heterochromatic eyes. He had never seen such beautiful purple eyes before. His domineering aura seemed to be natural!
Bei Gong Jue Shi pursed his thin lips. "Bei Gong Jue Shi. And who are you?"
“My brother’s name is Chen Shang! I am Chen Mu, so of course my brother is Chen Shang!” Yi Yun Mu Chen said preemptively, afraid that Yi Yun Shang Cheng would reveal his real name.
Bei Gong Jue Shi, the second son of the Prince of Zhenbei, a cursed lone star, eighteen years old, had previously been cultivating on Mount Wudang. These words popped into Yi Yun Shang Cheng's mind.
Yi Yun Shangcheng glanced at Yi Yun Muchen and, seeing that she was dressed as a man, knew the gravity of the situation and nodded, "My name is Chen Shang. It is extremely fortunate to meet Young Master Beigong!"
Didn't he know he was the second son of the Prince of Zhenbei? Bei Gong Jue Shi's eyes were deep and unfathomable. To build such an underground palace, especially within the imperial city! What immense risks must have been taken! If this person were an ordinary citizen, it would be quite strange!
The interior style is nothing like that of the Great Xia and Zhou Dynasties... Could it be that they really are people from the Western Regions?
"Are you from the Western Regions?" Bei Gong Jue Shi asked coldly.
"Yes." Yiyun Shangcheng didn't mince words. "And you and my younger brother are..."
"Friends I met by chance."
"Oh." Yi Yun Shangcheng nodded, but her eyes drifted towards Yi Yun Muchen. What could Yi Yun Muchen say when she heard Bei Gong Jue Shi say that? She nodded.
However, I felt a little disappointed.
"Then I'll take my leave!" Bei Gong Jue Shi wouldn't stay any longer, but he didn't know if they would do anything detrimental to the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty! He had always believed that Chen Mu was lying to him, but now, he didn't want to pursue the matter any further!
"Why not stay and have a few drinks to thank Young Master Beigong for taking care of my younger brother?" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled at this moment. "Someone, prepare a feast!"
"Brother," Yi Yunmu Chen immediately said, "If he doesn't want to stay, don't force him!"
Bei Gong Jue Shi glanced at the two of them. The younger brother was too naive, while the older brother was cunning and treacherous. Hmph! Let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve!
“Then, I shall respectfully comply!” A slight smile appeared on Bei Gong Jue Shi’s lips.
Yi Yun Muchen was somewhat astonished. Didn't he not want to stay here? Moreover, there was an indescribable terror here, as if there was a pair of giant hands watching him from the shadows, observing his every word and action!
"Amu, stay." Yiyun Shangcheng leaned back lazily in her chair, looking at Yiyun Muchen with dreamy eyes. Yiyun Muchen nodded, and Beigong Jueshi, naturally, wouldn't disturb their business and walked away. A maid came forward and led Beigong Jueshi to another room to rest.
"Tell me about what happened along the way." His tone was arrogant and brooked no argument.
Yi Yun Muchen looked at him and said, "Brother, I feel like you've changed! You've become a completely different person."
“People always change.” Yi Yun Shangcheng looked at her. “Don’t change the subject.”
"Oh." Yi Yunmu Chen stood up and then recounted everything.
He looked at Yi Yun Muchen with great interest, as if he were listening to a story, like looking at a toy.
Yi Yunmu took a breath. "Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now!"
"No, you have to help me. I need your help with something." Yi Yun Shang Cheng looked at her and gracefully stood up from the chair, appearing in front of Yi Yun Muchen in an instant!
Yi Yunmu Chen took a step back; he was terrifying! "Brother, what's wrong?" He seemed so strange, not like the older brother she knew!
"You like Beigong Jueshi?" Yiyun Shangcheng looked at her like she was looking at prey, showing no regard for her own younger sister.
"Um, I, I..." Yi Yun Muchen stammered, how could he explain this?
"That's good!" he said, and suddenly grabbed Yi Yun Muchen's chin, forcing her to open her mouth!
"What are you doing!" Yi Yun Muchen was shocked. Was this the older brother she knew? Was this the Yi Yun Shangcheng who had always doted on her and never let her get hurt or suffer any grievances?
Yiyun Shangcheng's eyes were slightly bloodshot. He then put the pill in her mouth and made her swallow it! Only then did he release her.
Yi Yunmu Chen immediately gagged, thinking of vomiting up what he had just eaten.
“It’s no use.” Yi Yun Shangcheng looked at her. “Mu Chen, the only one who can help your brother is you. Don’t you want to see us return to the Western Regions, and you still be the high and mighty princess, while I am the King of the Western Regions? Our uncle is so hateful! He has always been trying to kill us! Now is our chance!”
Yiyun Shangcheng looked at her with a somewhat frenzied expression, "I just realized that Beigong Jueshi is a born demon, but his master sealed his demonic heart! Now the opportunity is in front of us. As long as you marry him, he will definitely serve us! Then, our strength will be enhanced! We will have a greater chance of dealing with Yiyun Divine Mountain!"
"No, brother, if you're thinking of becoming the King of the Western Regions, I, as your sister, will definitely help you. But if you ask me to use Beigong Jueshi, I absolutely won't do it! He's a good person, and I can sense that he doesn't care about fame or fortune; he just wants to live a comfortable life! Brother, please don't make me a sinner, okay?" Yiyun Muchen looked at him, tears streaming down her face. But what was that thing he just fed her?
