Chapter 959: Faith

After nightfall, he walked in the quiet inner city of the imperial capital. After a turn, he was hugged from behind. Yun Xiao didn't know when he was ambushing here waiting for him. He giggled and threw his eyes on his back. He immediately turned out an iced grape from his palm and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word. Xiao Qianye was still thinking about the conversation in the Mo Pavilion just now, but he was suddenly choked by the ice grapes, and his mind was stiff for several seconds. Before he could come back to his senses, a malicious smile came into his ears: "There is no acuity at all, you are getting worse and worse!"

"A Xiao." He held Yun Xiao's collar and lifted her in front of him. Looking at her smiling face with her eyes narrowed, a sense of shame surged in his heart, "Are you waiting for me?"

"I didn't wait for you. I just happened to come back from Qinlou and ran into you." Yun Xiao retorted stubbornly, and took out a few more ice grapes from somewhere and started to chew on his own, muttering, "Shu Shaobai demolished the walls of others. Now the owner of the post was so angry that he was furious!"

"No one dares to care about his troubles," Xiao Qianye frowned and said in a low voice, as if thinking, "Just demolished a wall. Even if he demolished the entire building, Gongsun Yan would not say anything."

"Really?" Yun Xiao hummed without comment, "But the owner fiddled with the abacus and calculated the accounts with me all night. I finally sneaked out. He even despised me as the reincarnation of the plague god."

He couldn't help but laugh. Yun Xiao didn't seem to see the faint smile on his lips, and continued, "The two of them were thrown out by Shu Shaobai and smashed them on the street, which also led many bird demons into the city. Later, they were taken away by your people. The injuries should be serious. Didn't anyone report this to you?"

"I'm on vacation." He casually said that Shu Shaobai did have the same face and very similar abilities as King Ye, but his personality was very different from King Ye. He could make him angry and wanted to kill people in the Imperial Capital City. It must be because the two of them did something excessive that angered him. Now the guards of the Imperial Capital are all from the military cabinet, and they have long disliked those stubborn children. They will seize the opportunity to avenge their private revenge, so they will naturally not report to him.

He shrugged, and saw a cunning smile appearing on Yun Xiao's lips, pointing to the road he came over: "Anyway, I'm idle, I'm just thinking about coming over to see if I can meet you. The guards of the Imperial Capital are so relaxed. I've been wandering around here for a long time, but no one came to ask. I remember that there was a curfew in the inner city of the Imperial Capital. Is it necessary to be arrested if I'm still wandering outside so late?"

Xiao Qianye raised his hand to wipe the grape juice from her lips, and then laughed. He looked up at the bright starry sky inexplicably. The bright moon was still the same quiet, and the stars were still the same bright, but when they shine, the ancient city had already been transformed, and he suddenly felt like he was a different world. Xiao Qianye took her hand and used a little force, whispering: "That rule has been cancelled long ago, and they know you."

Yun Xiao hummed and disdained, and didn't care about this kind of thing. Looking at his wandering look, he suddenly asked, "Have you been in good health recently. Have you taken the medicine today?"

"Huh?" Xiao Qianye subconsciously lowered his head, and happened to see those eyes staring at him with a very serious expression. He remembered the scene when he hurried out this morning. He never thought about taking medicine on time for a second, but he obviously did not dare to expose it in front of Yun Xiao, so he could only turn away his eyes and hesitate, "Eat, I've eaten."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Xiao jumped in front of him and looked at him with a bright look. He pointed at his nose and cursed: "Liar, I stole your medicine bag last night. When did you take the medicine? Did you take it in your dream?"

Xiao Qianye grinned and quickly pressed her hand that was about to pull out her weapon, and smiled: "Danzhen Palace has also delivered me medicine recently. I have really eaten enough!"

"Hmph." Yun Xiao rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk poorly with him. The two walked side by side on the way home together. Although it was already late at night, there were still many ministers in court uniforms walking hurriedly on the wide avenue. Yun Xiao looked around curiously and suddenly asked him, "What are you busy with recently? Are you really planning to drive the two giant turtles from Shanhaiji to Feiyuan's territory?" "Yes." He nodded without hesitation, looking at the darkness at the end of the avenue with complex eyes. "Shanhaiji has a huge scale and complex power. It is difficult to solve them all at once. I don't have a good way to do other Liudao yet, but Feiyuan, Feiyuan is right in front of me."

Yun Xiao smiled relievedly and whispered on tiptoe: "You really like Feiyuan. Protecting the country and the people is your dream since childhood. No wonder you were wearing the military uniform at such a young age. If you didn't have to wear it later, you wouldn't have been willing to take it off."

He stopped. This sentence made him feel mixed in his heart, especially when he saw the woman in front of him tilted her head and smiled slightly, he felt the pain of being stolen by the invisible hand in his heart. Yes, since he was a child, his father has taught him to be loyal to the country and the people without any concealment. This is the land where he grew up. In the past, present, and future, their ancestors will continue to live here for generations. The hometown is an existence that cannot be violated and a place that cannot be lost even if he swears to die.

After growing up, he entered the Eighth Hall of Military Machinery like all the children in the Imperial Capital to study. The main lecturer, who was always indifferent to him, would treat him equally in the classroom where he taught them loyalty.

Everything in the classroom is already very blurred, only the clear and high prose lyrics resounding in my heart until now - "You must circle around the world like an eagle, agility, pride, freedom, with glory and dreams, and be loyal to the country and the people."

This sentence affected his life. Even though he was involved in a complex power struggle after returning from Kunlun, he watched himself step by step towards the helpless abyss, forcing himself to learn to be cold and ruthless little by little, only the initial belief in his heart has never been destroyed.

The only wavering was when he found Yun Xiao, who was "dead" in the black coffin. At that moment, his whole world was collapsing, and he wanted to destroy this land and let everyone bury her.

In a trance, he saw the woman in front of him tiptoed and circled around him twice, then stretched her arms behind him with the brightest smile: "I will help you, just like now - always behind you."

He turned around and carried her into his arms.

He tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep until the sky slowly lit up. He gradually fell asleep. Countless painful pasts and darkness hit the memory, but the tranced dream had no color, and everything seemed to be dissipated at a touch. In the confused state, Xiao Qianye's body shook slightly, pulled her clothes and buried her entire head gently on her chest. The faint fire exuded warmth, and finally calmed his breathing peacefully.

For several days, the seemingly calm and quiet flying walls surging. Under the influence of Shu Shaobai's power of commanding all beasts, the giant aura in Haishi temporarily changed the channel and suddenly appeared near the beach of the North Bank City. The giant aura in Shanshi once again revealed its traces and stayed on the banks of the Lishui River in Dongming. As Jingge had no warning, it suddenly issued a new chamber of commerce order, requiring all merchants in the four major realms to settle accounts and gather accounts within one month, and ordered the two giant auras to leave the territory of the Feishi after the deadline. This action made the merchants who were changing their ruthlessness completely confused. A large number of related households asked to see Gongsun Yan, hoping to get a few words from the God of Wealth.

Of course, no one can enter Jingge just by wanting it. But the walls of Qin Tower were destroyed and announced to be temporarily closed. Merchants gathered in the outer city of the imperial capital like headless flies, asking for information at any time.

Jiang Tingzhou leaned halfway on the recliner, and looked at the craftsmen who were still repairing the walls. He felt a little lucky in his heart. After all, even an ant in the Imperial Capital knew that the financial owner behind this Qin Tower was Gongsun Yan, the lord of the Jing Pavilion. Fortunately, he was forced to close his business. Otherwise, a bunch of people would definitely be flocking to him. How could he watch the show so leisurely? He couldn't help but carefreely and smiled inexplicably, and glanced at the upstairs. That troublesome woman looked like a reincarnation of a plague god. She was always foolish and avoided these troubles by fate.

Just as he was about to squint his eyes and take a comfortable nap, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and he quietly closed at the fastest speed. Su Mu, who had been hurriedly returning from Luocheng, glanced at him and asked, "Are they all here?"

"They?" Jiang Tingzhou paused slightly and pointed to the upstairs. "You can find a place. I have a magic circle for summer escape. It just so happens that they are resting."

"There is almost a volcano erupting outside, you are leisurely." Su Mu snorted coldly. Sure enough, seeing Xiao Qianye leading Yun Xiao downstairs. Shu Shaobai and Feng Ji walked out side by side in the other room. The two pairs appeared in front of him at the same time, which still made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Jiang Tingzhou looked at the other party's slightly embarrassed face, coughed lightly to break the dull atmosphere, pointed to a few chairs and asked people to sit casually, and said, "It must be very tired to go on a journey in such a hot day. Sit down and take a rest and have a drink."

Su Mu lowered his head to drink water, looked at everyone who was quite calm in front of him, frowned and asked, "Why are you reacting at all? Do you know the latest chamber of commerce order issued by Jing Pavilion? Luocheng is already in chaos. I came over here and saw many merchants coming to the imperial capital with rushing horses. I guess they wanted to use their relationship to find the owner of Jing Pavilion to understand the situation. If the two giant ash cannons are really expelled from the country in one month, it would be a sky-high loss and would offend a large number of people."

"It's my suggestion." Xiao Qianye sat down slowly, looking at his posture, he wanted to talk to him about this matter. "Not mentioning these, tell me where the strange giant aura in Shanhaiji came from."
