The weather was too hot, the small market outside the village entrance had closed, and the small mountain col that had been bustling all morning became quiet.
From the small mountain col to the back of the mountain, there is a new village where fishermen live. With popularity and fireworks, it presents a prosperous scene.
The rice fields around the new village are like green fields. Children wearing small coats with their tails tied up, wearing grass rings on their heads, and holding homemade fishing rods in their hands, are jumping up and down the field ridges.
From time to time, you can see the fishing rod being swung in mid-air, and there are children cheering as they neatly put the caught frogs into small bamboo baskets.
In nearby ditches and on the banks of the Qinghe River, flocks of ducks were splashing in the water to cool off, their quacking mixed with the noisy chirping of cicadas, adding a bit more heat to this summer.
The sun is bright like fire, the sky is high and the clouds are thin.
The two figures flew hand in hand in mid-air, leaving behind two wisps of smoke, one green and one white, like passing clouds, and finally disappeared into the miasma forest with deep white mist.
"Tianbao, Jiu'er, wait for me." The man who was half a step behind landed on the ground, with the soles of his shoes stepping on the soft grass quilt, his voice was relaxed and smiling.
The woman spun around and jumped onto a pear branch. She sat casually among the tree branches and swayed slightly with one foot hanging down. "Bai Yu, is this a date? Come out and fly for a long time?"
"Why fly for half a day? It is obvious that you have enjoyed the river scenery for half a day, the beautiful mountains and clear waters, the ducks croaking, and the fishing children catching frogs. It is all interesting. When you are tired, take a rest in the miasma forest and take a dip in the poisonous mist to cool down. This kind of enjoyment is great We only have this in Tubei Village." Bai Yu smiled playfully and started talking nonsense.
Tianbao raised his eyebrows, "Have you seen Wild Mandarin Ducks?"
"What kind of wild mandarin duck?"
"I've seen mandarin ducks dating outdoors in the middle of the night."
Bai Yu just flew up and sat down next to the woman. When he heard this, he almost fell down on the spot, "..."
Tian Bao looked at his expression which was difficult to express, and a narrow look flashed in his eyes, "It's much more interesting than Feifei Feifei."
"..." Bai Yu suspected Tianbao was teasing him and blushed.
What unclean thing did Tianbao see? !
After a while, Tianbao said, "Pfft-hahaha!"
As soon as he heard the laughter, Bai Yu knew that he had been teased. He relaxed and stared at the woman laughing loudly, with smiles spreading in his eyes.
The heavy haze buried in Tianbao's heart seemed to be eliminated bit by bit. She had never laughed like this before.
But now, there are more and more smiles on her face.
He prefers her to be so carefree and relaxed.
After teasing others and laughing heartily, Tianbao raised his head to look at the pear tree he was sitting on, and patted the trunk of the pear tree with his hand, "This pear tree is almost twenty years old. It was planted by tricking Wei Li when he was a child. ...Is he coming to the border town soon?"
Bai Yu clicked his tongue and regretted that he was not there when the tree was planted. Otherwise, he would have snatched the pear tree and planted it. "It will be there in four or five days. Emperor Dongpu, Wen Renjing and his party will also arrive in three days." Arrival, although their trip is a secret, it is impossible to completely avoid Nan Sang's eyes and ears. The other side should already know that they are coming to ask for help."
"How many cities did Dongpu lose?"
"The latest news received three days ago is that eight cities have been lost, and the Nansang Army is about to reach the hinterland of Dongpu. Yan Changkong is the coordinator of the rear area and strictly ordered the Nansang Army not to loot and kill local people, but when they attack the city and plunder the land, casualties are inevitable... Nowadays, people everywhere in Dongpu are in panic, and people are fleeing with their families everywhere." Bai Yu said this without any special emotion.
The power of the divine weapons was so powerful that the Great Wall could not withstand it. Even if all the countries worked together to fight against the divine weapons, they would only delay the defeat for some time.
Wen Renjing took out the soul soldiers in his hand, which could cause some serious damage to Nansang's army, but it would not help the overall situation.
As he expected, Wen Renjing had indeed studied the method of checking and balancing the divine weapons, and he also used Ci Stone, but without the blessing of the Sky Swallowing Net to refine materials, the effect was minimal.
Nowadays, all countries regard the place of exile as their only chance of survival, and they have been forced into desperation.
"Tianbao, this is war, and war is ruthless." Bai Yu curled his fingers slightly, looked at the woman opposite, and faced her gaze calmly, "And the ruthlessness of war is all evolved from human selfishness... I am also a human being, I have selfish motives, and in everything I think and do, I first protect the people I care about. If I don’t become a hero, I can’t become a chivalrous person. I am Bai Yu.”
Tianbao tilted his head, reached out his hand, and spread out his tense fingers one by one, lowering his eyebrows and smiling, "I know, no matter you are twenty, fifty, or seventy, you are still the same person when we first met. Bai Yu. I don't need you to be a hero, nor do I need you to be a knight, because I can't do it myself. Bai Yu, just be yourself."
She raised her eyes and looked at the young man who stared at her blankly, "It's not your fault that Nan Sang is ambitious and wants to go to war. Besides, even if you help, you can only stop the war early, but if others want to kill, no matter how good you are, you can't save them. Everyone. Don’t put other people’s expectations on your shoulders and force yourself to be what others expect. No need. Bai Yu, it’s enough for us to be ourselves.”
The slightly cold fingertips in the midsummer were warmed by the woman's whisper. Bai Yu bent his peach blossom eyes, lowered his head and touched the woman's fair forehead, "I understand, Jiu'er. But you are not someone else."
He winked at the woman and said, "You know, I have only listened to you since I was a child. As long as you say it, I will do it."
Tianbao also blinked and stroked his burning heart, "Bai Yu, there are bubbles in my heart. They are honey bubbles. They are very sweet."
"Hey, that's too bad. I forgot to bring the jar, otherwise I might be able to take a jar of honey back."
Tianbao raised his eyebrows, kicked Ya down the tree, clapped his hands and walked out, "Are you going on a date? Tom Cruise is cuter than you."
"...Who is Tom Cruise?" When Bai Yu heard the unfamiliar name, he couldn't even care about the pain in his face. He got up and limped after him, "Why are you suddenly so good at dating!"
"Learned."
"Can you learn it immediately?"
"It's not difficult. It's easy to draw inferences from one example."
Bai Yu, "..."
He quickened his pace, "Tell me first, who is Tom Cruise?"
"Don't ask, I will treat you as kindly as Tom Cruise treats Aru."
"Aru?"
"Tom Cruise's wife."
"..."
Bai Yu stiffly turned his head and looked at the reeds illuminated by the sun. He shouldn't have chased Tianbao and asked.
daughter in law? He Bai Yu?
...It’s not impossible.
Bai Yu's calculation was very accurate. Five days later, before the sun began to turn west, Chuanzi, who lived at the entrance of the village, ran out of breath to Su's house at the end of the village to report the news.
"Wei Li is back! He brought a lot of people with him." His lips were dry and he swallowed hard to moisten his throat. "I heard them calling each other the King of Mobei, the Emperor of Dongpu, the Emperor of Darong... a lot of Emperor!!"
The women and men who were sitting around in the courtyard of the Su family kicked over the water basin, some kicked over the water basin, some dropped their stools, which frightened the chickens that were pecking at the rice under the eaves, flapping their wings and clucking.
People in the courtyard looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
What did Kawako just say?
Many emperors? !
