Chapter 188 - Beauty Faded
Chapter 188 Beauty Faded
“Don’t cry, please, Xue. Smile happily, and that’s enough. The future is full of uncertainty, but I’ll be there with you. If you are afraid, I will hold your hands.” said Jun Yeyan, wiping off the tears for Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue stared at Jun Yeyan. Her eyes that were always chill seemed a little silly at the moment.
Looking at Bai Aoxue in such a mess, Jun Yeyan’s heart are filled with softness.
Bai Aoxue’s eyes were filled with tears as if they could have melted the first snow, and her stubborn and tight lips showed a proud arc. All of these were contradictory, but they also made Jun Yeyan feel more peaceful than ever before.
He always knew that what he feared most was her tears, but he still made her cry. It was really wretched.
Gently pushing away Jun Yeyan’s hand that was wiping tears for her, Bai Aoxue said slowly, “I’ll go back. As for those things, you can deal with them in your own way.”
After saying, Bai Aoxue left in a hurry.
Jun Yeyan was dazed by Bai Aoxue who left unexpectedly. Watching her back disappearing into the night, Jun Yeyan smiled, and his lips were in a brilliant arc.
If he didn’t misread, Xue was bashful just now. To leave in a hurry was because Xue didn’t want to let him see her blush. Thinking about it, Jun Yeyan chuckled.
The pleasant voice sounded in the quiet courtyard, just like the immortal sound flowing down from the sky. It was beautiful and fascinating.
“Oh… What makes you so happy.” There was a sound of teasing.
Jun Yeyan stopped smiling and turned back to look at Nalan Youhong who came to him.
Seeing Nalan Youhong’s face of woe, Jun Yeyan knew it at once that Nalan Youhong didn’t get along well with Mumian today.
“This is the so-called some people are happy while some are sad”, said Nalan Youhong, looking at Jun Yeyan mournfully.
After saying, he put on a pose that he thought was romantic.
Jun Yeyan slightly glimpsed Nalan Yuhong, turned and left, without any trace of nostalgia.
Watching him leave, Nalan Youhong’s mouth slammed.
“Zhao, you will go to Liujiabao tonight to find some evidence of Liu Chunjiang’s killing of Liu’s parents, and send some people to the Night Building. People in Ink-blood Tower and Liujiabao will definitely launch an attack on the Night Building. All the people who come here must be slain.” Jun Yeyan coldly said to Zhao who appeared beside him.
After hearing what Jun Yeyan said, Zhao’s eyes turned cold. He nodded and said, “My lord, Luo Su just sent a message. The princess of Nanyue Dynasty has already lived in the Night Building. We have already sent someone to secretly monitor her.”
Jun Yeyan nodded and said, “Tell Luo Su not to act rashly, at least not to do anything before finding out her purpose. At the same time, secretly take care of her. After all, Xue once said that when she goes to Nanyue Dynasty, there must be something that will rely on the princess.”
As soon as Zhao heard what Jun Yeyan said and thought about the expression of Bai Aoxue when she said these words, he only felt Qi Muyuan was unlucky for being framed by his master and the mistress.
Thinking about that, Zhao signed slightly.
” My lord, there was news from the stronghold over Mobei Dynasty…” Suddenly thinking of the letter he saw today, Zhao looked at Jun Yeyan and said hesitantly.
Heard of that, Jun Yeyan nodded to show he was listening.
“General Ye Zhaojue had been walking with Princess Luoyan, but at the junction of Chengxi with Mobei Dynasty, Princess Luoyan was forcibly brought back to Mobei Dynasty, and General Ye Zhaojue clashed with the army of Mobei Dynasty. Now the situation is tense.” Thinking about the contents of the letter, Zhao quickly reported it to Jun Yeyan.
After all, this was the matter of Princess. He must first tell his master, and then let the master decide whether Princess should be told or not.
After hearing what Zhao said, Jun Yeyan was dumb, for he had never thought the king of Mobei Dynasty could do such kind of thing.
“Well, my uncle… Did he hurt? And how about the situation now?” Thinking for a while, Jun Yeyan asked calmly.
“It is said that General Ye has killed an adjutant of a General in Mobei Dynasty. At this moment, the situation was tenser than ever before. General Ye is not injured, but a confidant beside him has blocked an arrow for General Ye and died in that sudden change.” Zhao remembered the contents of the letter carefully, in case of missing any words.
Heard of that, Jun Yeyan seemed still calm, but his heart was already awkward.
“Send some people to protect my uncle. Keep an eye on the king of Mobei Dynasty and his army. If it is necessary, I will go to Mobei Dynasty!” said Jun Yeyan calmly, with his narrowed eyes shining cold light.
“My Lord, according to the letter from Mobei Dynasty, the king of Mobei Dynasty won’t do harm to General Ye. Maybe he just wants to get justice for Princess Luoyan. After all, Princess Luoyan is his only daughter, and when his daughter was wronged, he should take it for granted. And Mobei Dynasty seems to be preparing for a happy event. Now that the country is celebrating, General Ye’s affairs will be delayed for a long time.” Zhao told everything in his mind to him.
In his heart, he did not want Jun Yeyan to go to Mobei Dynasty at this moment.
Mobei Dynasty was in chaos at that moment, and it was coveted by both Chengxi Dynasty and Nanyue Dynasty. If Jun Yeyan went there, he would be the common target of Chengxi Dynasty and Nanyue Dynasty, which would do harm to himself without any benefit.
Jun Yeyan understood what he meant, but he paid more attention to that happy event. Since Mobei had already surrounded by its Enemies, how can it be possible to hold such a happy event?
All these were unusual and very abnormal.
“Send a few people to inquire about the news. It will be great if they can sneak into the Mobei Palace. And try to find Luoyan and see if you can contact her. Everything in Mobei Dynasty is abnormal. My uncle, after all, is a General in Chengxi. What Mobei Dynasty did is in a blatant manner. They must have a great conspiracy.” Jun Yeyan calmly instructed, with his eyebrows raised slightly.
“It seemed that lots of things happened during the days we left. Let the people in Mobei Dynasty stronghold be dispatched to ensure my uncle’s safety. In my opinion, either Nanyue and Mobei reached a consensus, or Jun Wuzhen did some conspiracy and tricks on this event. Uncle is in great danger at the moment. It would be even better if he could be taken away from Mobei Dynasty.” Just pausing for a moment, Jun Yeyan said to him again.
At this moment, Jun Yeyan didn’t find out that his worry and concern for Ye Zhaojue were so sincere, which even touched Zhao.
“He was so worried about General Ye that he must have really regarded General Ye as a family”, Zhao sighed.
But the thought of Jun Yeyan sending Ye Zhaojue ten miles away, he felt that everything was normal. After all, the princess’s loved one was the master’s loved one!
“Copy that. I’ll inform them now!” Zhao was relived and nodded seriously.
Jun Yeyan nodded, then raised his slender arm, and rubbed his forehead with fingers that as long as jade.
No matter who saw his hands would consider it was beautiful. His hands were not as soft as woman’s, but slender as green shallot.
But no one would know how many people he killed with these hands.
“What’s more, don’t let Xue know about this.” Jun Yeyan said slowly, and his deep voice made him unable to understand the meaning of the words.
“I understand!” Zhao replied. Actually, no matter what order Jun Yeyan made, he would absolutely obey.
Until Zhao left, Jun Yeyan still stood in place, like a silent sculpture that withstood thousands of years of wind and rain, but still stood still.
“You hide from her. Aren’t you afraid of what she would think after she knew that?” The voice of doubt sounded behind Jun Yeyan, and Nalan Youhong stepped out of the dark.
After listening to Nalan Youhong’s words, Jun Yeyan said lightly, “You can clearly see other people’s affairs. Your own affairs make you panic and lose your measure.”
When Nalan Youhong heard Jun Yeyan’s words, he froze and stopped.
“Don’t change the subject. I just want to know why you are hiding from her? General Ye is in trouble, isn’t she the one who should know the most?” Nalan Youhong unexpectedly did not argue with Jun Yeyan, watching him and asked.
When Jun Yeyan heard Nalan Youhong’s words, the banter on his face had disappeared, and only the indifference was left.
“If I tell her, what would she do? She will definitely go to Mobei Dynasty. We all know that, don’t we? Mobei Dynasty is so turbulent now, not to mention that I worry about her. Even if I am not, I will not let her go!” Jun Yeyan said coldly, but his fists were clenched tightly.
“Don’t you think about going with her?” Nalan Youhong didn’t care what Jun Yeyan looked like at the moment, and asked in a deep voice.
Nalan Youhong’s words made Jun Yeyan stunned, but he smiled slightly, looking like he didn’t care.
“If I go to Mobei Dynasty this time, this land will have no chance with me.” His indifferent voice showed no feeling, but a certain imperative mood could be felt.
After listening to Jun Yeyan’s words, Nalan Youhong felt a little surprised and even more incredible.
“Let me ask you. This land and Bai Aoxue, which one is of more importance?” Nalan Youhong looked at Jun Yeyan momentarily and asked lowly, a bit more aggressive in his discourse.
After listening to Nalan Youhong’s question, Jun Yeyan was a little hesitant for a moment, but he quickly covered up.
“Do you still need to ask this question?” Jun Yeyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Nalan Youhong directly. There was nothing else in his eyes except the determination that was bound to be obtained.
Looking at Jun Yeyan’s eyes at this moment, Nalan Youhong felt chill.
For so many years, he still couldn’t understand Jun Yeyan. Even at that moment, it was the same. He thought Jun Yeyan would choose Bai Aoxue, but it seemed he was wrong.
“Oh… If I were you… I would choose her, for I could get this land in the future, but beauty fades and time flies. Don’t make yourself regret later.” Nalan Youhong said faintly at Jun Yeyan.
But in his words, there was something open and clear that Jun Yeyan never found.
Jun Yeyan squinted slightly, and the moonlight flickered all over the courtyard, but it did not shine on him. At this moment, he seemed to be integrated with the darkness. All the glory and loss were mixed as one.
