Oh! Long Yue looked at Chang Yao’s incredulous gaze, feeling helpless. She truly thought this!
If A Mu were here, she would surely beco a graceful noblewoman, but the key is, A Mu is no longer here, so what does she need with such dignity?
Moreover, he did so much for Dazhou when he was alive; he probably wouldn’t want Dazhou to be conquered by Daliang. If she could die on the battlefield, it might not be a bad thing.
At least she could die without regrets. In the future, when she ets A Mu again, her conscience would be clear, right?
"Why are you seeking out?"
Long Yue couldn’t stand his "I don’t believe you" expression. She turned her little face aside and said coldly.
Chang Yao: "I..."
Yes, why did he co to see her?
Chang Yao’s expression beca a bit dazed. He didn’t know when it started, but he had begun to like being by Long Yue’s side.
He often sent people to find out the whereabouts of Princess Consort Mu, just so he could frequently be around her, watching her, accompanying her, even if it was just a glance from afar, it was enough enjoynt.
In earlier years, he didn’t know that the person who saved him from the burning pleasure boat back then was Long Yue and mistakenly thought it was Pang Shuangyue. So when Pang Shuangyue showed hostility towards Long Yue, he helped Pang Shuangyue to detest Long Yue as well.
The Chang Family and Cao Family have sothing in common, which is their tendency to protect their own at all costs, even if they are wrong.
At that ti, Chang Yao was full of gratitude towards Pang Shuangyue, so even if Pang Shuangyue’s behavior was inappropriate, it was overlooked by Chang Yao, and he even thought it was right.
However, later, when the truth ca to light, Chang Yao fell into self-bla, wanting to visit Long Yue’s residence to apologize, but back then, Li Qingmu was still around, so he had no chance to et her.
So, he could only hide in the dark corners, silently watching Long Yue.
It wasn’t until Li Qingmu’s accident, and Long Yue’s emotional breakdown, that he finally ca to pay his respects, though he was actually there to see Long Yue.
On the day of the Yunshui Building hunting grounds, he even had the ridiculous idea of persuading Long Yue to remarry, but soon laughed at himself for such a preposterous thought.
Was he truly so audacious to covet the widow of the Imperial Family? He should know that she was the Princess Consort Mu, the concubine of Prince Mu, the Supre Emperor’s favorite son. What was he thinking?
Chang Yao’s feelings for Long Yue were complex, from initial dislike to later self-reproach and gratitude; gradually, these two emotions rged, transforming into feelings between a man and a woman.
Or perhaps, after knowing who saved him, he began to admire her deeply.
He had admired Pang Shuangyue for over a decade, and then he transferred such admiration onto Long Yue.
So his purpose for seeking Long Yue was very clear, but he couldn’t express it.
He feared being laughed at!
Seeing his prolonged silence, Long Yue got a bit annoyed and huffed, "If there’s nothing, then please leave!"
Was this an order to leave?
Chang Yao’s eyes showed a bit of confusion, and he mumbled, "I ca...because I was surprised to see you, Princess Consort, worried that I might have mistaken, so I ca over to take a look!"
"Oh, is that so? Well, you have seen now, and there’s nothing wrong with , so isn’t it ti for you to leave?"
Long Yue probably didn’t really want to see Chang Yao. It’s not that she particularly disliked him, but it was inconvenient to et with anyone unrelated.
If the news that she was still alive got out, Qi Yun would be put in an awkward position.
While Long Yue was urging Chang Yao to leave, on the other side, several black figures suddenly appeared from the dense mountain paths on both sides of the Valley Pass.
These figures were all top martial arts experts. They moved with the grace of swallows, capable of flying over roofs, and appeared silently, like ghosts.
As they passed without leaving a trace, with just a few flashes, they disappeared into the forest.
"Anxing, you’ve grown up, huh, how’s your martial arts? Co, let’s practice with Brother Zhen later, see if you’ve improved or not."
Cao Anxing was chatting intimately with a young man who was slapping his shoulder in a brotherly manner.
This person was a cousin of Chang Yao, who ca along this ti mainly to gain experience and learn so battle command skills.
Having t Cao Anxing a few tis, he felt quite familiar and asked him all sorts of questions.
Cao Anxing, not being shy, cheerfully shared his recent situation with him.
"My martial arts are okay, just having trouble understanding so parts. By the way, I can’t even beat my lady at ho..."
ntioning Long Yue, Cao Anxing subconsciously shut his mouth.
After all, she was the Princess Consort Mu, officially docunted as deceased. It seed inappropriate to ntion her?
"What’s wrong?"
The visitor, seeing Cao Anxing’s embarrassed and uneasy expression, thought sothing happened and quickly asked seriously.
Cao Anxing: "It’s just my sister, her martial arts are better than mine, which makes a bit embarrassed!"
"Hahaha..."
The man laughed heartily and slapped Cao Anxing’s shoulder hard, "You’re a big man, and you can’t beat a little woman, shows you haven’t been practicing enough. Co, let’s have Brother Zhen personally teach you later!"
This Brother Zhen laughed heartily.
However, at this mont, he saw a black shadow flash by!
His eyesight was usually very keen, confident that he didn’t see wrong, a shadow did just pass.
But this place is the Dazhou Military Camp, full of our own people, he thought soone from their side was playing a prank on him.
After all, many of his peers ca this ti, and it was normal to joke around, so he didn’t pay much attention.
However, Cao Anxing saw that behind him, sohow, a figure in black had appeared.
He pointed behind Brother Zhen in shock and exclaid, "Brother Zhen, watch out behind you!"
Only then did Brother Zhen realize sothing was wrong. He quickly turned, drawing the knife from his waist, slashing backward.
He thought his blade technique was good, confident he would strike the opponent, but he didn’t!
His back was empty!
"Kid, playing tricks on your brother, huh...uh..."
Brother Zhen was about to grin and speak, but at this mont, his voice suddenly stopped!
Because a black shadow appeared behind him and struck his neck, he let out a muffled groan and fell unconscious.
"Who are you?"
Cao Anxing stared at the suddenly appearing figures in black, feeling a panic rise in his heart.
This person appeared silently behind them, and Brother Zhen couldn’t even resist. Knowing that Brother Zhen’s martial arts were better than his, he realized he was no match for them.
Feeling a chill in his heart, Cao Anxing knew they were here to capture him. Since escape was not an option, then...kill!
He drew his long knife and slashed forward, about to strike the opponent, but the person deftly dodged, causing Cao Anxing to miss completely, then received a palm strike to his back, rendering him unconscious as well.
"Hah, so weak!"
The shadow let out a cold laugh, picking up one in each hand and disappearing as a blurred shadow.
