Chapter 111 A lotus leaf
Gu Ziyu didn't want to think too much, so she took the ancient road that she had just eaten and once again set foot on the road to suppress the rebel forces.
"Has he never had feelings for Wu Nan?"
Zhong Lingxi recalled Wu Nan's figure in her memory. It was like a dull saw with a curled blade inserted into her heart, pulling back and forth, twisting and turning.
"My master loves only the south wind."
Jian Ling was silent for a while and said.
With slightly red eyes, Zhong Lingxi was immersed in memories again, looking for Wu Nan.
…………
"Madam, since the young master left the emperor, he has not been home for ten and a half days. If you ask me, it would be better not to file this lawsuit." The maid beat Wu Nan's leg and said.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the pavilion by the pool. Wu Nan was playing with embroidery, embroidering elegant lotus patterns on it.
Hearing what the maid said, she subconsciously tightened her body, and after realizing that she had lost her composure, she slowly relaxed, smiled softly and said, "The young master is busy with his affairs, so we don't want to cause any trouble for him."
"Okay, madam." The maid raised her head, as if she had thought of something, and said happily, "But speaking of it, the young master has been spending less and less time out recently. The last few times, he has come back within three days. And in order to think quickly I met you here and even brought you from the capital to his office. It makes me happy just thinking about it!"
"You!" Wu Nan nodded the maid's forehead and said coquettishly, "You have so much free time, why not help me embroider a few more lotus flowers."
"I don't want it!" The maid pouted, "That's what the young master wears all day long. Of course it's the young master's personal tattoo!"
The two laughed for a while, and Wu Nan slowly calmed down again. She turned to look at the empty pool beside the pavilion and sighed: "It's almost summer. Are the lotus flowers in the pool at home blooming?"
Zhong Lingxi realized that this was Gu Ziyu's memory. When they were talking, Gu Ziyu was walking from the door to the courtyard and happened to see this scene.
As for Wu Nan's daily life, Zhong Lingxi could not see it. She rummaged through Gu Ziyu's memories, but all she saw were fragments of life.
In eleven years, Gu Ziyu had never slept in the same room with her. But she never complained. Whenever it was cold, she would always come to Gu Ziyu's room gently to tuck him in.
She gave Gu Ziyu some food, and Ziyu never refused, but he rarely moved his chopsticks, and the food he brought would always be left in the bowl. She looked at the rest of the food and would always put it back into her bowl silently and eat it quietly.
It is common for people who practice martial arts to have their clothes torn or frayed. Whenever Gu Ziyu's clothes were damaged, she would always be the first to notice, and she would quickly get new clothes to put on for him, repairing the damage without even having time to eat.
Gu Ziyu likes to drink wine alone and watch the rain and snow. Every time at this time, she would appear in time to hold an umbrella for him and wrap him with warm clothes.
She loves Gu Ziyu, and everyone in the house knows it.
She loves so quietly and deeply. But Gu Ziyu had someone else in his heart, and now that his heart was locked, he couldn't tolerate other women. Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Only, Gu Ziyu didn’t.
In Gu Ziyu's view, she is an obstacle on his way to practice. The more considerate she was, the more resistant he became. He deliberately ignored her existence and erased all information about her from his mind.
For example, she is beautiful; for example, she is gentle; for example, she loves him very much.
After Gu Ziyu entered the house, she saw them doing embroidery in Chi. She just glanced at them and then returned to the bedroom and fell asleep.
Dimly, he felt her coming in again. She gently changed his clothes, closed the door gently and left.
…………
From the day she became an imperial guard, Gu Ziyu has experienced countless battles, large and small.
Among them, the most unforgettable thing for Gu Ziyu was the battle with King Pingyang in the thirteenth year when he became the imperial guard. It was that battle that truly established his position as the number one person at the pinnacle of martial arts.
There are many people in this world who have entered the realm of heroes, but the number of people who have entered the realm of saints can only be counted on two hands. Among them, the most powerful ones, except for the old general Gu Xiaofeng who was seriously injured in the battle, are the Blood Emperor, King Pingyang and Gu Ziyu.
As the uncle of the Blood Emperor, King Pingyang had a disobedient heart very early on. The Blood Emperor had been in a stalemate with him for a long time and was unable to subdue him. This time Gu Ziyu was sent to fight, which was also a test of military tactics. Gu Ziyu won the battle and even the Blood Emperor praised him.
That battle was extremely brutal. Gu Ziyu rushed into the king's camp and killed Queen Pingyang with difficulty, but was seriously injured. After rushing out of the enemy camp, she only had the last breath of strength left.
With that strength, he walked aimlessly among the crowd, not knowing which way he took or how he got back home.
He only remembered that it rained heavily that day, and the sky was as dark as the end of the world. The huge dark clouds spread out in the sky, seeming to destroy this land.
He still remembered that when he returned home, he could not find Wu Nan. Walking all the way to the lotus pond in the backyard, he saw Wu Nan holding two umbrellas in the storm, one for herself and the other for the blooming lotus.
But the wind and rain are fierce. How can an ordinary umbrella block such wind and rain?
Her person was drowned in the heavy rain, and the wind blew up her apricot-red dress, like a lotus blooming in the heavy rain.
The maid also ran over. She saw Wu Nan soaking in the rain and hurriedly ran out into the rain.
"Madam, why are you getting soaked in the rain outside! Your body is already weak, and if you get wet in the shower again, the young master will feel so distressed!"
"Hurry up and get some more umbrellas." Wu Nan said softly, "This is the last lotus. I must protect it. Otherwise, when Ziyu comes back, there will be no flowers."
"Madam, you..." The maid suddenly saw Gu Ziyu outside the door and exclaimed, "Master, you are back!"
Wu Nan turned around and saw Gu Ziyu covered in blood. He was stunned and quickly dropped his umbrella and ran towards him.
At that moment, Gu Ziyu fainted, and her last memory was a little blurry: there seemed to be some blooming lotus flowers floating in the air in the wind and rain.
When Wu Nan supported him, he thought again of the pool of blooming lotus in Lotus Pier.
…………
One month later.
Gu Ziyu got up from the bed, looked at the room full of medicinal gas, and stretched out her hand to rub her forehead.
During the month of being seriously ill, earth-shaking changes had taken place in his body.
People who originally practiced the ruthless swordsmanship, if nothing unexpected happens, 80% of them can enter the Saint Realm, but 90% of them will be stuck on the ninth level for life, and the remaining 10% will be stuck on the tenth level.
