The person behind him was still talking: "Have you heard that when they got married, Young Master Mu and the princess fought for three hundred rounds in the bridal chamber?"

"Hey, where did you hear that?"

"Of course it's someone I know who is a servant in the Mu Mansion. Young Master Mu is truly a role model for our generation. He's so amazing..."

People love to listen to gossip. Even if the servants of the Mu Mansion knew what the so-called "three hundred rounds" were all about and told this person, this person might not tell the truth.

Aren't rumors constantly changed in order to satisfy the personal desires of the spreaders, and eventually become something passed on by word of mouth among the public?

But Xu Xingyi didn’t know whether this was true or not. After hearing it, he felt even more sad.

He had been at the border for so long and hadn't received any letters from Mu Yunzhou and Shen Qingxu. It turned out that the two of them had been secretly in love with each other and had been together all the time. How could they have thought of him?

It was him who rejected Shen Qiuchi's suggestion and did not want to be with Shen Qingxu.

Now that I heard the news that they are getting married, I should feel happy, but why do I feel so sad, as if I have lost something?

Xu Xingyi felt that he was very ridiculous. No matter whether it was Lin Shuyao or Shen Qingxu, in the end, he failed to keep either of them.

He was alone from beginning to end.

Behind him, the people were still talking, but Xu Xingyi didn't want to listen anymore.

He turned and left the door of the Mu Mansion to prepare gifts, and then went to visit.

The people of the Mu family were naturally delighted to see General Xu coming, but Shen Qingxu and Mu Yunzhou had already left by then, so they regretfully told Xu Xingyi that they were not there.

Xu Xingyi nodded: "Of course I know. It won't be too late to give the gift to them when they come back."

The people from the Mu Mansion accepted it with a smile. Xu Xingyi looked around. This place was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, but in the end, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

He was worried about Shen Qingxu being with anyone. If she ended up marrying a man he had never met, Xu Xingyi might feel angry and want to fight for her.

But Xu Xingyi felt relieved when he was with Mu Yunzhou.

"This kid didn't even inform me when he got married, and he even asked me to rush back after I got the news."

The Mu family members smiled and said, "Yes, they said they wanted to get married that night, and we were very anxious. We didn't even decorate the wedding ceremony properly, we just hung some red silk."

Xu Xingyi nodded: "Since they are not here, there is no need for me to stay any longer. Goodbye."

He turned and left, looking quite carefree, but who could know what he was thinking?

Xu Xingyi came to the outside of the Mu Mansion and unexpectedly saw Wang Tianbao looking out the door.

"You went in to give gifts, why did you come out so quickly? Where are those two people?"

"not here!"

"Is his family inviting people to drink?" Wang Tianbao also wanted to go in to watch the fun, but was stopped by Xu Xingyi. Instead of letting him in, he pulled him away.

"Boy, don't you want to take your master in to take a look?"

"No one is here, what are you looking at?" Xu Xingyi was a little angrily and walked away holding his master's collar.

Wang Tianbao had accompanied Xu Xingyi at the border before, and he was tired of seeing him with that stern face every day.

Wang Tianbao was naturally angry as he finally encountered such a lively situation and Xu Xingyi didn't take him in.

"It's just two people getting married. What's more, they are both out of the house. What are you going in to see?"

Xu Xingyi didn't want Wang Tianbao to stay here any longer. He might talk too much, and it would be bad if the people from the Mu family heard it and passed it on to Mu Yunzhou and Shen Qingxu.

The two of them left the capital and went hand in hand to catch bandits!

But Xu Xingyi didn't know that in the training room, the chair that belonged to his elder brother had always been reserved for him.

They both hoped that Xu Xingyi would come back, but Xu Xingyi had left so decisively at the time. Although they wrote the letter, they still couldn't let go of the sadness between the lines.

The three of them were now strangers, and they didn't dare to have any hope in their hearts, so they didn't tell Xu Xingyi.

Perhaps with time, the wounds will slowly heal, and they may be able to return to the days when they were so carefree and happy.

But soon, Xu Xingyi heard the news that Mu Yunzhou and Shen Qingxu were fighting against violence, eliminating bandits and helping the people at the border.

"These two guys are running pretty fast. If you have anything to do at the border, why not just go over and join them?"

Wang Tianbao was muttering to himself. After they came back from the capital, Xu Xingyi had returned to his previous half-dead state.

Fortunately, after knowing that they were married, he became a little more lively than before, and at least he could reply to his questions.

"I am a general guarding the border, how can I leave secretly? What's more, they are already married. Even if they are fighting against bandits, they are just living a life of two. Why should I go over and join in the fun?"

Xu Xingyi frowned as he looked at the secret report sent by the border scouts.

I felt that Wang Tianbao was indeed a bit idle, so I said to him: "If you really have nothing to do, why don't you go out for a walk, so that I don't have to worry every day."

Wang Tianbao was despised by his own apprentice. He coughed a few times and took out the hidden letter: "This is the letter they sent to you. I wanted to tease you, but seeing your bad temper, I'll give it to you first."

Wang Tianbao threw the letter on the table and turned away. He didn't want to see his apprentice with a stern face again because of something.

He didn't offend him, but he was always giving him the cold shoulder. But the eldest disciple told him not to run around anymore and to keep an eye on Xu Xingyi. What's so good about this brat? He had to give him a stern face every day.

Does he owe him money?

Is he a very servile person?

snort!

Perhaps because he was homesick, Xu Xingyi did not open the letter when he first received it. Instead, he dealt with all the military affairs before slowly opening the letter.

It tells a lot about what they saw and heard on the road, as well as the process of suppressing bandits. Xu Xingyi looked at these and felt as if he was there himself.

"At the end of the letter, brother, Shuyao is buried in the mountains of Jinzhou. I will draw a topographic map for you. If you have time, go and have a look." These were Mu Yunzhou's last words.

Lin Shuyao is a princess, and it is not theirs to decide where she is buried.

Even if the two were married, the princess would be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death.

But at this time, Shen Qingxu was obviously helping Xu Xingyi to plead for mercy so that Lin Shuyao could be buried in the mountains closest to him.

Taking advantage of the night, Xu Xingyi used his lightness skills to come to Lin Shuyao's tombstone. The tombstone was facing the other side of the mountain. Just as Lin Shuyao wished, it guarded the territory of Daliang and was far away from the capital of Daliang.

"I didn't expect you to be here, Shuyao, I'm sorry it took me so long to come and see you..."

Xu Xingyi's words were blown away by the wind, and perhaps were transmitted very far away.

Among the people of Daliang, the reputations of Shen Qingxu and Mu Yunzhou became more and more famous as they traveled through the world.

But for the people living at the foot of Jinzhou Mountain, Lin Shuyao on the mountain - or rather, Princess Xiao Shu, is the most respected one.

"On the mountain, there is our Daliang's most noble princess, Xiao Shu. She is protecting Daliang."

"You naughty monkeys, stop making a fuss. We must be careful not to disturb the princess's peace."
