It was a month after Zhong Lixiao saw Shuli and Liuyuan again, her eyes fell on the hands they held together, and she was really surprised: "This...you...you..."

Liu Yuan quickly let go of Shuli's hand, Shuli couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

The aura in his body was exhausted, and he couldn't use mana for a short time, and Liu Yuan's ghost aura couldn't lose to him, so he could only borrow his strength by holding hands.This reason seems most honest, but it is difficult to explain it to ordinary people who don't understand anything.

So Shuli sat down as if nothing had happened, and just blinked at Zhongli with a smile.

Fortunately, Zhong Lixiao didn't dwell on this issue for long.After all, the addiction to splitting peaches and sleeves is one's own preference and choice, and others have no right to interfere.

Zhongli smiled and said: "I listen to you, I haven't seen Jiang Yan in this month, and the palace banquet will be in a few days."

"Well, I heard that your sword dance is very good?

"Do you want me to dance at the palace banquet? But I learned this for my own entertainment, not for sensationalism."

"You are wrong." Shuli shook her head and said with a smile, "You are chasing Jiang Yan now, if you want him to please you, you must let him know your beauty first."

Liu Yuan tilted his head and glanced at Shuli.

"What?" Shuli noticed his movements and asked.

"……nothing."

Shuli turned to Zhong Lixiao, "Look, he also agrees with me very much."

Zhong Li smiled: "..."

Liu Yuan: "..."

Zhong Lixiao performed a sword dance at the palace banquet three days later. She had carefully dressed up, with flowers on her brows, and the red dress spun like red lotuses.The next day, the prince's son went to Zhongli's mansion to ask for marriage.

She grew up with her father and brother in the frontier, and it wasn't long before she returned to Kyoto. When someone mentioned the young daughter of General Zhongli, her first impression was always in the direction of the female general and dominatrix.It wasn't until the palace banquet that they realized that although Zhong Lixiao was not as gentle and quiet as an ordinary lady, she was very bright and cheerful, and she was good at sword dancing, which made her stand out from others.

For a time, Zhong Lixiao gained many friends and suitors.

At the palace banquet where Zhong Li laughed and danced the sword dance, Jiang Yan was naturally present.Since Zhong Lixiao was rejected by him that time, he hasn't seen her for a long time, but recently he has met her several times by chance.Every time the girl in red was surrounded by different people, they often looked at her with admiration, and the little girl whose eyes were red from crying in front of him also had a smile in her eyes.

This smile will fade away when seeing him, Zhong Lixiao didn't pretend to be strangers to him, but he just nodded and passed by.

After that is the Cold Food Festival.

A peach grove in Beijing is in full bloom, and the girls put up swings there, thinking that it would be a very beautiful sight to swing high while the peach blossoms are falling.

Meng Qingyi had caught a cold recently and was not fit to go out. Jiang Yan brought his younger sister to Taolin and saw Zhong Lixiao playing on the swing.

He thought to himself, it really is a very beautiful scene.

Among these young girls playing on the swing, only Zhong Lixiao is skilled in martial arts, and only she is the most courageous.Standing on the swing board, she swings the swing more than level with the ground, her long hair and skirt spread out in the wind, and every time she swings, there will be a burst of peach blossom rain, as if she is about to fly in the sky, surrounded by Cheers and exclamations.

Zhong Li got off the swing with a smile, and the girl who was walking with her came forward and pulled her to talk, she and her walked back while smiling and answered, looking lively and at ease, and then bumped into Jiang Yan head-on.

Still pass by.

As soon as Jiang Yan raised his step, he found what Zhong Lixiao had just dropped by his feet.He bent down to pick it up.

It is two spikes tied by a red string.

He was a little dazed for no reason.

……

The crowd dispersed, and Shuli looked at the swing frame eagerly.Anyway, there was no one else here, and no one cared about him playing with girls, so he just jumped on the swing.

"My lord, stand farther away, don't be hit by me." He gestured towards Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan stood a little further away as he said.

Shuli swings the swing high, then swoops down, and uses her strength to swing even higher.

The flowers rained, and the beauty in the black clothes smiled crookedly in the peach blossom rain.

The view on the swing was clear and wide, Liu Yuan stood in the distance, slightly raised his head to look at Shuli.A few petals fell on his skirt, his face was like jade, with a peaceful expression.

This kind of liuyuan is no longer like a ghost king in the underworld, but like a handsome man in the world.

Shuli suddenly let go of her hands holding the swing rope, let her body rise into the air, and rushed straight towards Liuyuan.

Liu Yuan froze for a moment, opened his arms to catch him, and wanted to push him away after Shuli stood still.

But Shuli tightened his hands, his breath was a little unsteady, and he said softly: "My lord, I regret it."

"..."

"I don't really want to pretend that nothing happened at all."

Liu Yuan clenched the corners of his lips, but still didn't speak.

"I like you and want to see you all the time."

"Meng Qingyi will really do this?"

Shuli sat on the window sill, holding a plate of pastries until her cheeks puffed up, and after hearing Zhong Lixiao's question, she raised her neck and swallowed it, and then said: "She thinks you robbed her, so naturally the accountant will rob her." return."

"I thought she was just duplicity."

"Silly girl, you can grow up."

"But I know how to water." Zhong Li frowned with a smile, "Isn't this too..."

"Most of those stinky men will have more sympathy for weak women," Shuli took a bite of her snack, "Although we don't like this, it doesn't mean we can't act like it occasionally."

Zhong Li smiled at him strangely, "Aren't you a man too?"

"..." Shuli took a rare choke, and smiled after a while before saying, "I'm different from them, I like all kinds of girls."

But you obviously like men.

Zhong Li slandered with a smile, raised his eyes and saw Liu Yuan leaning against the door frame.It was evening now, and the sunset light fell on the side of the young man's face, reflecting more and more the clear and graceful lines from the brow bone to the bridge of the nose to the jaw.He should be listening to the conversation between Shuli and Zhong Lixiao, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and a very slight smile flickered across the corners of his eyes.

Zhong Lixiao inexplicably noticed the change in Liu Yuan.

When she first saw him, he exuded a gloomy aura that made people afraid to approach him.But now, she doesn't know how he is when facing others, but as long as he is by Shuli's side, although he is still taciturn, she no longer feels the darkness and coldness in him.

Probably falling in love with someone will make you want to change for the other person, Zhong Li thought with a smile, she is the same too.

……

Jiang Yan has been in a daze lately.He never found a chance to send back those spikes, or rather, he was unwilling to send them back.

He told himself, can't do this, can't think, can't do.

But he couldn't control himself.

The last time he felt this way was in his previous life when he was riding on the wall of the Meng Mansion, blushing and reaching out to hand a branch of peach blossoms to the eldest lady inside.

He despises himself like this, and there is no way to face Meng Qingyi without any grievances.

He hadn't seen Meng Qingyi for a while, and he didn't expect to see her again at the moment when she raised her hand and pushed Zhong Lixiao into the lake.

After a few bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, it calmed down. There was a "buzz" in Jiang Yan's head, and he rushed forward. Meng Qingyi stopped him from wanting to say something, but he pushed her away without thinking, and jumped down.

After a while, he hugged Zhongli and went ashore with a smile. The girl who always had a bright smile was leaning against his arms with her eyes closed, her face was pale. He patted her cheeks several times before she coughed up water. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ayan, it's not like this..." Meng Qingyi anxiously wanted to explain.

Jiang Yan was a little tired, so he just said, "I'll send her back first."

Zhongli woke up with a smile on the way back, she didn't open her eyes, her voice was hoarse after choking on water: "Thank you."

Jiang Yan paused, "I thought you hated me."

Zhongli smiled and raised the corner of her lower lip, "You picked up my spike, but you didn't return it to me." She said softly, "You know that I have always liked you."

Jiang Yan was silent.

"The girl you like is not that good." She looked a little wronged, "When can you take a look at me?"

……

Regarding the war between Da Chu and Xia Guo, Shuli originally wanted to find a way to avoid it, such as tying up the general of Xia Guo on the way out, wrapping it with hemp rope and sending it to the emperor of Xia Guo On the side of the bed, it is simple and labor-saving.

But then he thought about it again, according to the current progress of Jiang Yan and Zhong Lixiao's relationship, if Meng Qingyi hadn't been in the middle, the two should have been married long ago, and this time is a good time for Jiang Yan to wake up to the truth.

The battle between Chu and Xia can be used as a catalyst.

It's just that Shuli doesn't intend to let Zhong Lixiao know the things about Meng Qingyi in her previous life.

"Why?"

"The more you know, the more painful it will be. Those hurtful memories are enough for one person to bear."

"What if she doesn't want to live a confused life?"

"What's wrong with being confused? If I were Jiang Yan, I probably wouldn't want to tell her." Shuli was silent for a while before continuing, "I will let the person I love live as happily as possible, even if it is happier than before. A little bit, that's good too."

Liu Yuan didn't speak.

Shuli suddenly asked him: "My lord, do you think it's stupid for Jiang Yan to stubbornly want to find her and protect her in this life just because of the love he had for a person in the previous life?"

Liu Yuan looked at Shuli and frowned slightly.

"Although in reality he did make a mistake all his life..."

"Why should I think so?"

Shuli raised her eyes to meet Shang Liuyuan's black eyes.

Liu Yuan spoke lightly, "Since he thinks it's worth it, then it's worth it."

"..." Shuli smiled slowly, "I think so too."

……

Jiang Yan went to the border with Zhong Lixiao, and Meng Qingyi originally wanted to go after following the army, but was tripped by Shuli's envoy on the way.

During the war, the weather was hot, and the soldiers all bathed by the river. Zhong Lixiao was a girl, so naturally he couldn't be with them.However, looking at the entire military camp, there were not many women, and only Jiang Yan was familiar with her, so when Zhong Lixiao took a bath, Jiang Yan usually let Jiang Yan watch from the shore, so as not to be caught off guard by others.

Shuli was still hesitating whether to probe the situation, "Although this is a dream, it's not good to be a hooligan in a dream, right?"

Liu Yuan: "..."

Shuli simply closed her eyes, picked up a stone, "Otherwise, my lord, can you help me to see and point my head?"

"Are you trying to make me a hooligan?"

Shuli: "..."

Shuli threw the stone far away.

Jiang Yan turned his head abruptly, "Who?!"

Zhong Lixiao was startled by Jiang Yan's shout, grabbed the clothes on the nearby rock, quickly put on his clothes, got up, waded out, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yuan flicked the dim light on his fingertips, making Zhong Lixiao's loose coat slip down a little.

"I just heard—" Jiang Yan stopped in the middle of speaking, and stared fixedly at Zhong Li's exposed shoulder socket.

"Hear what?" Zhong Lixiao followed his gaze and looked down at his red birthmark, a little surprised at his reaction, "What? Is it ugly?"

Jiang Yan's face turned pale, he staggered back a step, and when he looked up again, a tear fell down.

"...It's you." His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, half crying and half laughing.

"What about me—" Zhong Li smiled and widened his eyes for a moment.

She was embraced by Jiang Yan.

After a while, she hesitated, and gently placed her hand on his back.

Spring comes and autumn goes, summer ends and winter returns.

The 50 years since then have passed by like a snap of the fingers.

Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes and was stunned for a long time.

He had a dream. In the dream, he and Zhong Lixiao lived a perfect life together.

"Jiang Yan?" An unfamiliar man's voice came from beside the bed.

Jiang Yan remained motionless.

The man said slowly: "Since Zhong Lixiao saved you twice, he naturally hopes that you can live well."

Jiang Yan coughed loudly until he choked out blood from his heart.

"Zhongli said with a smile that she wants your afterlife. As her friend, I came here for her wish."

"..." Jiang Yan hoarsely said, "You lied to me."

Shuli held Liu Yuan with one hand, and squeezed out a tactic with the other hand. With a flick of her fingertips, the tactic turned into a stream of light and penetrated into Jiang Yan's eyebrows.Jiang Yan's fingers moved, and a red line grew from the knuckle of the ring finger of his left hand, extending to infinity.

"This is..." Jiang Yan's eyes gathered a little light.

"You will meet her in the next life."

The surroundings fell silent at this moment, except for the clearly audible breathing of one person.

Jiang Yan closed his eyes hard and put his left hand on his heart.
