Questions sur les chansons d'amour - Chapitre 30
But how can we find out his true identity? Even Master, who has been occupying his body for so long, couldn't find him. We don't even know where he lives. Master always wakes up when he's finished with his business and his expression is relaxed, and he's in different places on the street.
I made a face.
The master winked and smiled alluringly: "No rush, there's plenty of time."
I nodded, gritting my teeth as I said, "Master, next time, we'll set everything up first before letting that assassin appear. If I don't kill him, I'm not Lin Qingyan."
Chapter 74 Princess's Marriage
The procession for the princess's marriage was quite grand. Dawei was personally escorted by Cheng Mo, the Grand Marshal second only to the emperor. Tianxing, on the other hand, was greeted by Yun Fengyao, the Minister of War, who went ten miles outside the city.
Early in the morning, Huaicheng was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. On the main street, groups of soldiers stood in long rows, their armor gleaming and their bearing imposing. Between them was a long string of fine red brocade, one end leading into the post station and the other out of the city, which left me speechless with amazement.
Good heavens, how much money must this cost? This royal wedding is truly extravagant.
The main street was placed under martial law at dawn, and no civilians were allowed to approach. They could only crowd at the alley entrances, a sea of heads, each person standing on tiptoe, desperately trying to see. All the shops on the main street had their pillars covered with red silk. Although the shop doors were open, no one dared to come out and look out, for there was a well-disciplined army standing at the door. They could only squeeze inside, excitedly pointing and gesturing.
I sat in the luxurious sedan chair of the high-ranking official, pressed my face against the window, watching the spectacle with my eyes narrowed to slits. The wedding procession in this era was truly fascinating. I felt that getting married like this was a real declaration to the world—so grand, so blissful.
His gaze searched through the crowd of onlookers, one group after another, but he couldn't find the monster—well, the monster itself.
I gave up and pursed my lips. This guy is so vain. He always makes sure to choose the right atmosphere and timing when he first appears in front of a beautiful woman. I definitely won't find him now. But I wonder how he'll show up later. This seems to be the first time I've ever seriously tried to pick up a girl. I'm waiting to see how he does it.
Moreover, today's situation is completely different from before. Putting everything else aside, just considering the large number of soldiers, if he were to appear under the watchful eyes of everyone, it would be the coolest thing to do, and the most likely to attract the attention of beautiful women. However, if that were the case, how could he make a clean getaway while leaving the best impression on the women?
Anticipation filled me, and my eyes crinkled with joy.
"What are you laughing at so happily?" someone chuckled softly beside me.
I turned around and explained very kindly, "No, I'm just surprised because I've never seen anything like this before."
I can't let him know what I'm thinking. If he finds out that I'm eagerly anticipating my master's arrival to snatch their crown princess as the wedding representative of Tianxing Kingdom, I'm afraid that fox will immediately turn against me.
The Buddha said, "It cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken."
What's more, I'm currently lounging in his car watching the show.
The sly fox looked at me with a sly smile and raised an eyebrow.
My gaze fell upon him, and I couldn't help but sigh softly. I must say, this damned fox is truly arrogant, conceited, and utterly lazy and carefree. I had been particularly eager to see him in his formal attire as a minister on a day like this, since he's quite handsome, but to my surprise, this scoundrel is exactly the same as always. He's wearing a simple brocade blue silk robe and a matching jade ring in his hair. His expression is beaming with smiles, showing absolutely no awareness of his role as Minister of War.
Then I realized that this dead fox had received Emperor Tianxing's approval to disregard the rules for subjects and not be too constrained. In such situations, he didn't even need to wear formal attire.
What a disappointment.
Turning his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure deliberately backed half a meter outside the window. His eyes immediately lit up. Forestry? Heh heh.
Chapter 75 The Big Stupid Cow
Since that day on the hang glider when I kicked him off, I haven't officially seen him again. I say "haven't officially seen him" because, after that day, I became quite familiar with Mo Yu. Mo Yu would occasionally come to Zhongfang Garden to see me or invite me for tea, and every time I met Mo Yu, I knew he was there, but he never actually faced me.
Mo Yu laughed. Lin Ye had already kept his distance from me, treating me as if I didn't exist.
Later, it was said that when Lin Ye returned to the mansion that day, he ran back from outside the gate in a disheveled state, with scratches all over his face and his clothes torn to shreds. A flock of vultures that prey on corpses were also following menacingly in the sky, which gave the servants of the Minister's mansion a great fright.
Hearing this filled me with regret. If only I had gone with Mo Yu to his residence that day! I had missed such a scene. Then I became extremely curious: what had happened to this guy that attracted such a large flock of vultures, who usually only hid in the deep mountains, to chase him all the way to the Minister's residence in the center of Huai City?
But that stubborn guy Lin Ye always avoids me. He's highly skilled in martial arts and has excellent agility. Once he's made up his mind, there's nothing I can do about him.
But today, hehe, I'm secretly laughing. Today is the wedding procession; let's see if you can fly onto the roof of the car!
"Hey, Big Dumb Cow, what are you doing hiding in the back all by yourself? I see you, come out here!" I called out.
The guards standing like statues outside the carriage, following the Minister's sedan chair, froze for a moment, not daring to change their posture, but their eyes all glanced at me.
I smiled and continued to call out, "Hurry up, or I'll yell!"
Lin Ye's expression was unclear, but it was obvious that his body stiffened, his stance faltered, and then he followed. He didn't utter a sound, but instead took a small step back.
"Not coming out? I'm serious! If you don't come out, I'm going to shout that General Lin Ye is a coward! There are so many people watching! And, most importantly, those two long wedding processions are probably all your men, and the guards around the carriages are probably your subordinates too. If they hear me say that, I wonder what they'll think of you. And, if I get excited, I might not just say that. I might also mention that thing that happened on the street that day, a certain... cough... man... very embarrassing thing... I mean what I say! I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, I'm going to shout! Listen carefully, one, two—" I excitedly counted on my fingers.
Before the three words could be uttered, a gust of wind rose, and Lin Ye, riding his horse, stood outside the window with a dark, bluish-black face. His eyes were wide open, blazing with anger, glaring at me hatefully. His once unremarkable face now bore several distinct, fading scars, which ironically made his features appear more vibrant, adding an indescribable air of masculinity.
"Wow, Linye, you look so handsome today! This uniform suits you really well." I said with a grin.
Lin Ye remained silent, his face grim.
"By the way, Linye, I've been wanting to ask you something. What happened to you when you fell off the hang glider that day? Tell me, I'm really curious."
There was no reaction, but his face turned even paler.
"I've already told you, but if you don't, I will!" A threat, delivered with a grin.
Lin Ye's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched and unclenched several times, and the muscles on his face began to twitch.
Chapter 76 A Kiss
"Really not going to tell?" I chuckled slowly. "Well, don't blame me. I've asked you repeatedly. So, shall I tell you? ﹏﹏Ahem, everyone, guards and generals, does anyone want to know what happened to General Lin on the street a few days ago? ﹏﹏"
The guards were all extremely embarrassed, none of them daring to listen to their leader's awkward situation. However, being in the honor guard, they couldn't cover their ears and could only let me slowly, with a mocking voice, penetrate their ears.
"Your general, that day..."
Despair welled up in Lin Xiao's eyes; she was on the verge of collapse. I was already chuckling uncontrollably when suddenly everything went dark. The carriage curtain was pulled down, and Mo Yu chuckled as he grabbed my arm and turned me around. I immediately protested, "Hey, how could you... um... um... um... um..."
All my words were swallowed by my lips and teeth. I struggled, but it was as if I were trapped in iron arms, unable to find even the slightest opening.
