Chapter seven hundred and seventy eight parting
She should be happy when she saw the person she was thinking about day and night standing at a distance of just a few feet away from her, but strangely, Xu Yan couldn't be happy at all.
The confrontation between the two of them continued. Perhaps they knew that Xu Yan was watching them all the time, so they all maintained their best demeanor as much as possible, even if the fire burning in their eyes seemed to swallow the other party mercilessly in the next second.
Xu Yan slowly walked between them step by step. The soldiers who passed by silently took a step back and gave way to her a wide path. Xu Yan leaned down gently, picked up the fragments scattered on the ground one by one, and then formed a pretty complete prototype on the bluestone bricks.
Liang Yu's voice trembled: "Don't look at Yan'er, I beg you not to look." As this sentence fell, the rustling sound of Xu Yan gently pieced together these papers: "On September 2, 18th year, Changhuan, all the subordinates had done what His Highness asked for. Xu Qing's sixth son Xu Yan..."
Liang Yu glanced at the words on the paper, and he naturally did not miss Xu Yan's obvious pause. Mo Chen fell to the ground with a "clang" sound. He squatted down in panic and wanted to take Xu Yan away from this place. When Yun Qi handed him these things, he only thought it was something related to the father and son, but he never expected that he had even received these secret letters!
The crowded alley fell into silence, and it was rarely quiet for several seconds. A curve appeared on the corner of Xu Yan's mouth, and the juice of impatiens was dyed with the tips of her fingers. The bright red color made her fingers as smooth as white jade, but she couldn't stop trembling.
Yunqi wanted to step forward to comfort her, but Liang Yu pushed her away. His sinister eyes stared at Yunqi: "What do you want to do to Yan'er? Do you still think that hurting her is not deep enough?" Yunqi did not want to entangle him, and only said coldly: "It's not far from the matter between Yan'er and Yan'er, you, a outsider, are you, an outsider, pointing in trouble. Besides, isn't the reason why Yan'er became like this because of your selfish intentions?"
Xu Yan didn't want to hear any of them say these boring words in her ear at this moment. She just hugged herself tightly, her eyes fixed on the words she had just spelled out for a long time and didn't leave. It turned out that she was really just like that. In fact, she would be tired and disappointed.
She loved Yunqi for so many years, but one night, she suddenly remembered Liang Yu. Liang Yu was so cautious about her and the feeling of being humble in the dust made her extremely grateful, but it also made her feel unable to respond to such heavy love. At that moment, she suddenly remembered herself. Could she also exist in Yunqi's eyes, and made him very grateful, thinking that this was the existence of love?
From that moment on, Xu Yan decided to let go of Yunqi and try it. It was also from that moment that she began to get a little tired. She wondered if she would find someone who loves her to make her live a better life? Just last night, after she sent Liang Yu away, she suddenly felt that maybe she could give it a try.
But the words that made her extremely familiar with were not fake. The flying font appeared in the bright red wedding invitation not long ago. That day, he stuffed it into a pile of jewelry and gave it to her. The domineering expression on his face was a hint of nervousness that was difficult to find. She accepted it. She thought that there was at least one such Liang Yu in this world who could love her wholeheartedly, but the facts proved that everything was just her delusion.
Obviously so many people come for themselves, and they are all around her, but she can't feel any warmth and strength at all.
Those soldiers did not come for her, they were for Xu Guo's face; Yun Qi, who stood in front of her, might have come for her, but the pile of things he brought was to completely defeat Liang Yu, and he did not come for her simply; and Liang Yu, who should have become her husband today, originally thought that at least he came for her, but the information at the moment clearly stated what he was approaching her for: from the beginning, he only approached her to win the trust of the mother's queen and get the help of Xu Guo.
She felt ridiculous, she thought she was ridiculous, and the world was ridiculous. She covered her face and her body kept trembling. She was clearly crying, but she didn't make any sound. She had been living for the people of Xu, for the expectations of the Queen Mother, and for the world. But she had become like this, why didn't she let her go? Why did she still want to squeeze out the last bit of value on her?
Everyone around looked at the small figure in the middle dressed in a bright red squatting on the ground, unable to see her face clearly. Xu Yan felt that she no longer had anything to be obsessed with. She let go of everything, even if she was facing death now, she had no fear. She no longer expected anyone to save her, and no one would come for her simply.
"Xu Yan! Why are you squatting there?" A lively voice came into Xu Yan's ears. She paused and did not dare to raise her head. She was afraid that it was just her hallucination. Suddenly someone patted her on the back, and the sound was close to her ears: "You are too indifferent. I ran back to see you from afar, why didn't you look up and look at me?" Xu Yan then felt real. She slowly raised her head, and what caught her eye was Peng Xing's ever-living cheek.
Peng Xing looked at Xu Yan's eyes that were crying red, hugged her into his arms, and said with a concealment: "Look at who gave you the makeup for your eyes? The Liang Kingdom's skills are indeed incomparable to our Xu Kingdom. Let's take a walk, I'll go in and draw a beautiful makeup for you using the Western Regions makeup method!"
Everyone was unable to recover from this sudden change, including the protagonists today. Peng Xing quickly winked at Lancha who came with her, and then pretended to be angry and said to Liang Yu: "King Liang, I said you don't understand the rules! You can't rely on our bride's sisters who didn't come, even these gifts are exempted! Come again and get married according to our Xu Kingdom's etiquette! Lancha, you arrange all the brazier, archery and other things, and the literati I specially brought over to come together. We must carefully examine whether King Liang can be regarded as the royal husband of our Xu Kingdom!"
After saying that, Peng Xing winked at Liang Yu, and then met Lan Cha's cold face for a moment. Peng Xing stuck out his tongue, not daring to say anything more, and quickly helped Xu Yan into the house. Everyone present was ordered by Peng Xing, and they all forgot what their purpose was. According to her opinion, it seemed that King Liang was married to their Xu Kingdom to be the princess? Then why didn't you say it earlier! What would you lose face!
The soldiers of Xu State first put down their weapons to make peace to the soldiers of Liang State. The people on the Liang State obviously did not react from this sudden change, and said peace in a confused manner. Liang Yu looked at the direction of Peng Xing leaving gratefully, and suddenly had the courage to continue. On the other hand, Yun Qi on the opposite side had his face darkened.
Liang Yu didn't expect that there was such a benefit to posting invitations by himself. At first, he didn't expect a person named Peng Xing. It was just that because Peng Xing had been doing business everywhere for many years, he only sent an invitation to Lancha, who is now the king of the Western Regions, but he unexpectedly invited Peng Xing by chance.
