"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Gu Xu looked at the girl in his arms with a smile.
"No, that's not the case," Shi Xiaohan shook his head repeatedly, "I just can't believe that a god who descended to earth has become my fiancé."
"Who said our heroine is too cute," Gu Xu joked, "even gods can't resist her charm."
When Emperor Ziwei was young, he was a famous playboy in the upper world. While Gu Xu inherited his memory, he not only gained an understanding of the great ways of heaven and earth, but his ability to talk about love also improved greatly.
Shi Xiaohan was immediately shy and his ears turned red.
"You god, you are so unreasonable!"
"Then tell me, what should a serious god look like?"
As Gu Xu spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her red ears.
Under the moonlight, the girl's ears became more and more crystal clear, looming between a few strands of hair, like a piece of rock candy, as if you could eat it, they were sweet, refreshing, and chewy.
Ears seem to be a sensitive area for girls.
As soon as Gu Xu touched her, she took in a breath as if she was electrocuted, and her muscles tightened suddenly - if she hadn't been hugged tightly by Gu Xu, she might have jumped to the ceiling like a rabbit.
"Anyway...it's not like you anyway..." she responded stumblingly.
After some flirting, Shi Xiaohan finally remembered that he still had a lot of questions that he had not asked.
"Gu Xu, on the day of the Luoshui Conference, why did the emperor suddenly decide that you were guilty of treason and ordered your arrest?"
"It's very simple. Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei are not two-faced gods, but a pair of sworn enemies. As Taishang Haotian's lackey, Emperor Tianxing naturally wants to find ways to bring me, Ziwei Reincarnated and killed."
"I heard that many powerful men in the imperial court were ordered to arrest you. How did you escape from the siege?"
Gu Xu did not answer this question directly, but smiled and asked:
"Guess who is coming to Jiange with me today?"
Shi Xiaohan never likes to use his brain.
Without thinking, she asked directly:
"who is it?"
"It's Chief Luo," Gu Xu said, "He is mine now. On the day of the Luoshui Conference, he was the one who helped me get out of trouble successfully."
Shi Xiaohan was once again so surprised that he opened his eyes wide, surprised by Gu Xu's words "He is mine now".
"He...he's working for you? He doesn't plan to continue working in the Daqi Exorcism Department?"
"Yes," Gu Xu chuckled, "I am the number one rebel, and he is the number two rebel. Today we also roped in Pavilion Master Xu into the rebel gang, preparing to steal Emperor Tianxing's Tai'a sword. ' and kicked him out of Zichen Palace."
"You want to kick him...you want to overthrow him and become the emperor yourself?"
"To be honest, I haven't thought that far yet," Gu Xu shook his head gently, "What I think is that under the current situation, he and I can only live together. If I want to live peacefully, then he will Must die.
"As for ruling a country... I don't think I'm the material."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but feel nervous again.
"You must stay alive..."
"Don't worry, Heroine, my life is much harder than I imagined."
"Where did you go after leaving Luojing?" After a brief silence, Shi Xiaohan continued to ask, "I heard that you went to the north to seek asylum from Zhao...to King Yan."
"I tried to leave the Daqi border to the north to look for the fragments of the natal object," Gu Xu replied. "On the way, my whereabouts were exposed in Jingxing. The Daqi court sent the Hedong general Zhu Qiuyi and a group of fifth realm practitioners to catch me. Zhao Zhao Yan rescued me when I was outnumbered and took me to escape to the territory of Dayan."
Having said this, he frowned, thinking about how to explain to Shi Xiaohan what happened between him and Zhao Yan.
"I'm sorry," Shi Xiaohan suddenly hugged his waist tightly, "it was my father who revealed your information to the court and allowed them to divine your location. It's all my fault, I couldn't stop them..."
Her eyes, which were as red as rabbits, became moist again.
"Don't cry," Gu Xu stretched out his index finger and touched her cherry-colored lips, stopping her subsequent words, "You don't have to say 'sorry', it's not your fault.
"Kongxuan Sanren wanted to take revenge on me, and used causal magic to cause many obstacles in my escape. Even if your father did not provide information to the court, my whereabouts would be exposed sooner or later."
"Kongxuan Sanren?" Shi Xiaohan's pupils narrowed.
This name had left a deep psychological shadow on her.
To this day, the terrible disaster in Qingzhou Mansion still often appears in her nightmares.
"He is dead." Noticing the change in her expression, Gu Xu smiled lightly, "Don't worry, he will never hurt us again."
"Dead? How did you die?"
"I and the 'Yishan Snow Girl' teamed up to kill him," Gu Xu replied truthfully, "Of course, I also borrowed Luo Sishou's true energy."
"Yishan Snow Girl?" Shi Xiaohan felt that his head was getting more and more confused, "Isn't she the 'fierce god' of Qingzhou Prefecture? Why did she join forces with you to fight? Did she also join your rebel group?"
"This...it's a long story." Gu Xu sighed softly.
Shi Xiaohan noticed that his eyes revealed extremely complex emotions, including guilt, pain, and nostalgia.
Could it be that besides Zhao Yan, there is also an unknown story between him and Yishan Snow Girl?
"Gu Xu."
"Um?"
"I heard someone say that you are going to marry Zhao Yan, the leader of the Yan Kingdom, and become the royal husband of the Northern Territory. Is this true?"
After a long hesitation, Shi Xiaohan finally spoke out the question that he had been holding in his stomach for a long time.
Gu Xu remained silent and did not respond immediately.
At the beginning, he did reject Zhao Yan's overtures for Shi Xiaohan.
But as time went by, especially after he returned to ancient times and saw the girl Xi waiting for him alone in countless reincarnations for thousands of years, after he watched the snow girl burning her soul to save him, after he kept recalling Zhao After Yan said "Some things, once you miss them, you may never get them back."
He felt his heart begin to waver.
In the past, all he wanted to do was pick one of the flowers and hold it in his hand.
Now he wanted to plant a few of his favorite flowers around him to protect them from wind and rain.
Because I have lost something.
So he wants to cherish everything he has now.
Of course, he didn't intend to hide his thoughts from Shi Xiaohan - in fact, before walking into this thatched cottage today, he was mentally prepared to confess to her and respect her thoughts.
But when he was about to speak, he hesitated again.
She was the one who helped him in his youth and shared weal and woe with him.
He didn't want to lose her over this.
After a long time, he finally said slowly:
"Zhao Yan did propose this to me when we were in the north. I refused at the time, but later I...well..."
The girl stopped him from continuing with a deep kiss.
Then she pressed her face against his chest and cried softly again.
"Gu Xu, I have long felt that you are someone who wants to do big things.
"You used to be a spiritual genius that attracted national attention, a Fu Tao master who was famous in the capital, and a great hero who dared to confront the Kongxuan San people and save tens of thousands of Qingzhou people.
"Now that you are a reincarnated god from the upper world, more than one saint and strong man are willing to follow you to resist the imperial court, and maybe you will rule the wilderness in the future.
"My cultivation is too low and I can hardly keep up with you.
"You are being hunted by the court. Not only can I not help you, I can't stop your father from revealing your information to the court...
"A few days ago, I even forgot about you...
"I want to be with you as a couple, but I also want you to live well..."
"When it comes to protecting you, Zhao Yan...and maybe Snow Girl, they should do a better job than me...
"I...I shouldn't be too greedy..."
Shi Xiaohan's words gradually became blurred in his sobs.
From her words, Gu Xu could hear self-blame and a hint of imperceptible inferiority.
