I took Li Xiaoxue, Shangguan Qiu Ming, Nangong Ruyu and the woman in white shopping around all afternoon, meeting the various requirements of my younger siblings and my apprentice, and bought a lot of food and clothing.
It wasn't until Nangong Ruyu said "enough is enough" and the woman in white also bought a few dresses that Li Ye stopped his frantic buying.
Li Xiaoxue and Shangguan Qiuming didn't understand what Li Ye meant, thinking that their brother loved them. Only Nangong Ruyu and the woman in white knew, but they couldn't tell the truth.
Walking on the busy street, looking at Li Xiaoxue and Shangguan's happy faces, a hint of happiness rose in my heart.
As long as his parents and sister are cultivating well in the Five Realms, his husband and his wife are here, and he has solved the trouble in Beihai for the emperor, he has no regrets about leaving.
The woman in white was also in a good mood. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she went shopping like this. She took Nangong Ruyu to buy skirts and shoes that she couldn't wear out in several years, and countless snacks...
"Mom, Yu'er won't be able to finish all these things until winter? Master, is he thinking that he bought too little for Yu'er before and wants to overwhelm Yu'er to death? I'm not a little pig."
Holding the hand of the woman in white, Nangong Ruyu complained.
"Yu'er is a pig. You haven't practiced sword practice since you came back. Do you think I don't know?" Li Ye, who was walking behind, looked at her and said softly.
Nangong Ruyu was startled, turned back to look at him and said with a smile: "Master, let Yu'er play for a few days. At the worst, sister Wutong and I can help you fight some bad guys, okay?"
"No! Let your mother watch you practice swordsmanship from tomorrow, no less than five thousand a day." How could Li Ye let her follow him to the battlefield? As long as Nangong Ruyu followed, the woman in white would naturally follow.
Then how can I direct this war?
In Li Ye's view, this was a war between him and Beihai. He wanted to lead the soldiers from the five regions to defeat the invading enemies in Beihai.
...
When the group arrived at Huamanlou, Hualuoyu told him that people from the Imperial Master's Office were already waiting upstairs.
Li Ye took her hand and walked up, saying as he walked: "Sister Luoyu, please come with us. Today is our big reunion."
Hua Luoyu looked at him and smiled: "Even if you don't call me, I will go up. Don't forget, you are the master here, and my sister and I are looking after the house for you."
Li shook his head and said softly: "From today on, this place belongs to you and Sister Hua."
Before leaving, Li Ye naturally had to arrange everything in the imperial city.
Hua Luoyu's heart tightened. She felt that Li Ye had the illusion of explaining the aftermath.
"Honestly, are you sure you can win this war?" Hua Luoyu looked at him nervously.
Li Ye looked back at her. He smiled faintly and said: "I have been preparing for this battle for many years. Not only me, but also the armies of the five regions have been preparing for many years, as well as Brother Nalan. Do you think I can win?"
Hua Luoyu nodded with satisfaction, looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't talk about you and me, this poster belongs to all of us, do you understand?"
Li Ye nodded helplessly and said with a smile, "Just as my sister wanted."
The group of people pushed open the door of the elegant hall on the third floor, and it was already filled with people from the Imperial Master's Office.
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye who was walking at the end, waved and said with a smile: "Everyone said that before drinking, I want to hear you play a piece of music. I haven't listened to your piano music for a long time."
The woman in white had never heard Li Ye play the piano before, so she looked at him with expectation.
Nangong Ruyu stretched the corner of his clothes and said with a smile: "Master, Yu'er also wants to hear it."
Looking at the relatives and friends in front of him, Li Ye suddenly became very happy. He took out his husband's iron piano with a wave of his hand, walked to the table in the hall, and placed the piano on it.
Looking at Li Hongxiu and Hua Luoyu, he said: "Master's Wife, Sister Hua, let's play a song together."
He stroked the strings with both hands, and a sound flowed out from his fingers.
The quiet sound of the piano flowed out from Li Ye's condensed fingers, penetrated the heavy buildings of Huamanlou, passed through the elegant rooms one after another, and echoed in the gardens of Huamanlou, like a clear spring flowing from the mountains. , just like the cheerful chirping of birds on Tianshan Mountain yesterday.
Just as the red sun is about to set in the sky, it warms all living beings in the world.
Nan Ruyu and others stopped chattering and stayed beside Li Ye, quietly listening to him playing the piano.
Li Xiaoxue opened her beautiful eyes, held Nangong Qiuming's little hand, and followed Xia Wutong to stand aside and listen quietly.
Pedestrians on the road outside Huamanlou heard the sound of Li Ye's piano and stopped to listen quietly.
The sunset in the sky, the sound of piano playing upstairs, life is so beautiful.
When will the bright moon appear? Ask the sky for wine. I don’t know what year it is today in the palace in the sky...
Li Hongxiu was startled, not expecting that Li Ye would sing this song that he had played several times on Tianshan Mountain. He took a pair of chopsticks and a bowl, beat them together, and sang together:
I want to ride the wind back home, but I'm afraid that it's too cold in the high places...
The two of them sang together, which immediately surprised Hua Tianxia and Hua Luoyu. She never expected that the two of them would be playing the piano and singing in front of the sunset in this situation.
Although the two of them couldn't sing, she followed softly and sang softly.
Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, look down at the Qihu, and the light will make you sleepless. There should be no hatred, why should we be reunited when we say goodbye...
The melodious sound of the piano and the resentful singing, combined with the soft female voice of Li Hongxiu, penetrated the clouds and mist, and went straight up to the sky, towards the bright moon that was about to rise.
Not to be outdone, Hua Luoyu gathered her true energy and sang to the tune of the two, singing loudly. After a while, the voices of Li Hongxiu and Hua Luoyu were heard in the Huamanlou, mixed with the singing voices of Li Ye and Hua Tianxia.
The dreaming birds in the mountains were startled by the sudden song, flapped their wings, and circled around the cliff.
Li Ye played the harp three times, and everyone sang along with the tune three times.
The faces of Nangong Ruyu, Li Xiaoxue, and Shangguan Qiuming were glowing red, and Xia Wutong's eyes were misty, with a faint resentment.
The waiters and maids in the colorful building stopped what they were doing at this moment, and the pedestrians outside the building also stopped.
Inside and outside the building, there is the gentle sound of the piano and the loud singing...
After singing for a while, Li Ye stopped and stopped playing.
But as if his thoughts were not yet finished, he put down his harp, took out the wine flask, poured wine into his own bowl and the bowls of everyone in front of him, picked it up, and drank it all in one gulp. Hitting the bowl with chopsticks and chanting in time with the rhythm:
A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without any blind date.
Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and make three people in the shadows.
The moon doesn't know how to drink, and its shadow follows me.
For now, the moon will be shadowed, and we must have fun until spring.
My singing moon lingers, my dancing shadows are scattered.
...
Xia Wutong was stunned. He didn't expect Li Ye to recite this poem, so he followed Li Ye and sang it again.
Li Hong raised her sleeves, drank all the wine in the bowl, put on her skirt, and danced gracefully to the setting sun by the window, singing along with the two of them...
The moon doesn't know how to drink, and its shadow follows me.
For now, the moon will be shadowed, and we must have fun until spring.
My singing moon lingers, my dancing shadows are scattered.
...
"On my trip last year, a passerby once said something to me. He said that since you are born in this world, both practicing and living in this world are hard work."
Thinking of the scene on Tianshan Mountain more than ten years ago, Li Hongxiu waved his arms and looked at Li Ye and smiled.
"Since living is so hard, we have no reason to be unhappy while we are alive!"
Li Ye also thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival night on Tianshan Mountain that year. Thinking of Mu Mu who had left him, his heart ached and he would repeat what Li Hongxiu said back then.
"No matter when and where you are, as long as you are happy, drink and sing, no matter what other people say!"
Looking at Li Ye who was putting away the iron piano, Li Hongxiu waved and smiled and said, "I remember you couldn't even move the iron piano at that time."
Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu and said with a faint smile: "Today I will raise a glass and sing a song, and tomorrow when the army returns home in triumph, I will raise a glass and drink with my husband, Sister Hua and Brother Nalan."
Xianye deliberately mentioned his husband and Nalan Yu, but avoided himself because he didn't want to make everyone sad and disappointed because of his departure.
The woman in white turned to look at Li Ye, thinking to herself, you are saying goodbye to everyone in front of you. However, even she had no way to deal with Li Ye, who was about to break through and ascend.
Just because that drop of Shura essence and blood has gradually integrated into Li Ye's bloodline and become a part of his body, this fact cannot be reversed by anyone.
"Your strings are indeed wonderful today, and I like that poem even more. Don't let those wars affect your mood. Remember that Yu'er and I support you."
The woman in white looked at Li Ye and said softly.
Nangong Ruyu also looked at Li Ye, raised her head and said seriously: "Master Yu'er is already a master in the golden elixir realm, and I can fight on the front line with you!"
Li Ye stood up, took her little hand and walked to the wine table. He looked at everyone in the room and said with a smile, "I'm just going to be selfish today. Since today's meal is our reunion dinner, it's also my farewell meal." feast."
Li Hongxiu nodded, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and his wife and said, "Don't worry, Mr. is watching over you. Let's relax and practice peacefully at home, waiting for Mr. to come back and break the situation for everyone."
Lin Yueru beckoned her superior Qiu Ming to sit down next to her, looked at Li Ye and said with a smile: "After fighting this war, I will come back to arrange the marriage with Wushuang. I want you to get married, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Ye Zhi glanced at Master, who nodded.
"Don't worry Yueru, we and our husband will take care of this matter, and we will definitely satisfy you and the general!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qiuming looked at Li Xiaoxue and said, "Look what I said, from now on I have to call my brother brother-in-law."
Li Xiaoxue glared at him and said with a smile: "Then you still have to call me sister."
Ye Zhiqiu pulled Xia Wutong to sit down next to him, looked at Li Ye and said with a smile: "Princess Wutong happens to be here too. When Ye'er comes back, we will do two important things together. From now on, Wushuang's mother and I will never have to do it for you again." Worry about it.”
Li Ye laughed bitterly and did not reply.
Xia Wutong looked at Li Ye quietly, feeling helpless but unable to say a word. Because she couldn't say anything that Li Ye didn't say.
Thinking of this, she finally couldn't help crying while hugging Ye Zhiqiu.
Logically speaking, Tang Qiuyu should be by her side at this time, but the master had already gone to the sect to break through the situation, and no matter what big things happened at this time, she would not leave Li Ye.
Even if he watched him ascend, this was Xia Wutong's final decision.
Even in this situation, she still had not made up her mind whether to leave with Nangong Ruyu or stay here to practice with her master and husband.
Because she believed that as long as her husband was around, she and Li Ye would meet again.
Hua Tianxia looked at everyone and said: "Today is a farewell ceremony for the Imperial Master and my younger brother. Let's all feel free to come and have a drink. We will not return until we are drunk.
Li Ye Hongxiu glanced at her and said with a smile: "I haven't had a good drink in a long time, so I will have a good drink with you tonight."
Li Ye saw his relatives, friends and princess in front of him, and felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. He sat at the table in a daze, unable to say a word for a long time.
Only Nangong Ruyu tugged on his sleeve and said with a smile: "Master, the peach blossom cake here is really delicious, but Yu'er still likes Fengyun City's apricot blossom cake."
When Li Ye heard this, his heart softened, and a tear fell heavily on the table.
