"Your clothes are soaked. The sun is just right.”After saying that, Ling Yuxuan immediately took off his clothes. In his heart, he instinctively treated Nichang as a close friend, so he did not have any scruples. Anyway, Nichang was also a woman, so he completely forgot that he had an extra thing...
Ni Shang watched as he took off his clothes. Her face instantly turned red, and her heart raced. She looked at Ling Yuxuan's good figure. Although his skin was fair, his strong muscles were evenly distributed on his body. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and happy.
"This is a base in my memory. In the past, whenever I was in a bad mood, I would come here to look at the scenery and listen to the birds chirping in the mountains. I would feel that I was not abandoned by the world.”Under the warm sunlight, she fell asleep in a short while. Ni Shang saw Ling Yuxuan not far away and thought about going over, but then she remembered that he was not wearing any clothes. After a few moments of hesitation, she mustered up her courage and walked over. When she saw him, she couldn't help but smile warmly. So he had fallen asleep. She took some clothes that had dried in the distance and covered him with them. She also lay down to sleep.
Not long after, the sound of even breathing could be heard. At this moment, Ling Yuxuan, who was sleeping beside him, opened his eyes. In fact, he had woken up the moment his clothes touched his skin. As a killer, his intuition was very sensitive. He only knew that it was Ni Shang and did not want to open his eyes. He did not expect Ni Shang to fall asleep right next to him. She turned around and lay on her side with her head propped up by her hands. She looked at Ni Shang like this. Ni Shang was very beautiful in her sleep. Her long eyelashes and curled lips made Ling Yuxuan's heart itch. He felt that Ni Shang's lips were becoming more and more alluring. He really wanted to give it a try. As he thought about this, his lips were already close to hers. They were soft, sweet, and had a little fragrance.
Fragrance? She immediately reacted and jumped away in fright. She covered her lips and her eyes revealed an incredulous expression. How could I kiss Nichang? It's impossible. Although I have a man's body, I have a woman's heart. It can't be, it can't be. It must be because of this body. It must be. It's impossible for me to have feelings for a woman.
His mind was in a mess and he was extremely panicked. He jumped into the water and sank to the bottom of the lake. Under the pressure of the lake water, he was much more awake. In her previous life, she had never thought about relationships. In her eyes, relationships were a burden and a burden, so she had never come into contact with them. What was wrong with her now? She thought of her heartbeat and her soft lips and hit herself in frustration.
Flying out of the water, Ni Shang had already woken up. After putting on her clothes, she looked at Ni Shang's slightly red and swollen lips and felt extremely annoyed. She rode her horse and left. Ni Shang looked at the person who had gone far away in bafflement and could not help but feel uncomfortable. She also rode her horse and chased after him.
Ling Yuxuan locked himself in the study room after returning to the Prince's mansion. He sat at the desk in a daze and grabbed his hair with both hands. How could I like Nichang? How could I have feelings for her? How could that be? Didn't I always treat her as my confidant? When did it start to change? How am I supposed to accept this!
"Xuan 'er, you've been back for so many days and haven't eaten anything. I've brought you food. Open the door.”
The door creaked open. Barkley saw the person in front of him with messy hair and a messy beard. He closed the door and took out the food. He said,"Xuan 'er, I don't know what happened to you. If it's for Nishang, I can tell that you care about her very much. I've never seen you treat that girl so well. If you really like her, don't miss it. She's a good girl and deserves your protection." Also, the person from before has already arrived in the capital and is waiting to see you!”
"Uncle Fu, do you think someone like me has the right to like someone else? Arrange for me to meet them after dinner.”I'm now a monster that's neither male nor female. How can I like her?!!
After dinner, she tidied up and followed Barkley to a bamboo forest.
"Come out, Young Master is here."
"This subordinate greets the young lord."
"How's the business I've given you these past few years?”
The leader of the group, a rough man, replied," Young Master has invited us to do business in various countries and control the economic lifeline. Now it's almost done. We only need another year to develop rapidly.”
"Chou Yan, you are building a new base in every country. This will be more difficult. Why don't you try opening a few branches? As long as you expand one, you can expand to other places. I'll give you a plan when the time comes!"
The rough man's eyes lit up when he heard that. He respectfully replied," Thank you for your teachings, Young Master. I will definitely see the effect within half a year!”
Qiu Su was a shrewd man. Back then, he had only followed Ling Yuxuan to repay him for saving his life. He had gradually been subdued by Ling Yuxuan.
"Qiu Su, how's the situation on your side?”
"Young master, I listened to your arrangements and took in those orphans. Now, they have all made some progress. The eighteen riders already have their own teams and are all well trained. I'll wait for Young Master's orders at any time."
"I have a book here. Take it and study it with the Eighteen Cavalry. It will be of great benefit to you. I hope that I can check the result after one year. I need you to go to Hangu Pass with 18 cavalry to check the situation. We will use fireworks as a signal. You can deal with the situation in the city yourself. But I hope you can come back safely and contact me at any time. We will have a tough battle to fight. I hope you can be prepared at any time!”
That book was actually a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"Uncle Fu, you can go back first. I'll make a trip to the palace.”
He hurried to the Imperial Palace and went straight to the study without any notice. He saw the Emperor Ling Yufeng and Ling Yuhan looking at the map with a worried expression.
"An Weifeng told me that the small countries at the border have invaded and that our Heaven Enlightenment has already lost two cities. Second brother, is that true?”
"Indeed, our army has suffered heavy losses. Big Brother and I are thinking about how to deal with it. Moreover, there is a problem with the grain that has been transported to the army.”
I looked at the map and pointed out," Second brother, you see, the terrain of Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. How can it be easily broken through unless there are reinforcements in the city or there are spies in the army. Now that our army has set off, we can break out from the south and surround them. However, for safety, we can withdraw a portion of our troops and attack from the front. Second brother, this still depends on your command. Also, don't tell the army your plan."”
"I thought so too, but we don't have any men in the city. We don't know the situation in the city, and we don't know how many soldiers there are.”
"2nd brother, when you arrive at Hangu Pass, light this flare when you think it's the right time. I've arranged my men inside. If nothing unexpected happens, they will sneak in tonight. 2nd brother, your army will arrive in about 4 days.”
"Big Brother, you don't have to worry about the provisions. I'll go check it out for you. I just need an imperial edict from you to transfer me out of the capital so that I have enough time.”
"Alright, the imperial edict will arrive at your residence on time tomorrow. This time, you must pay attention to your safety and not have any accidents. By the way, what happened to you when you locked yourself in the study for so many days?”
"Big brother, do you know what it feels like to like someone? I don't know if I'm sick. This kind of thing is a little unacceptable to me.”
"Big brother can tell that you have feelings for Miss Nichang. I saw how worried you were about her last time, so I could tell. You might not have noticed it yourself when you looked at her, but there was gentleness in your eyes. It definitely did not look like you were looking at a younger sister. That's why I agreed to let her go to your wangfu. Nichang is a good girl. If you like her, don't miss it. Don't miss it like I did. Unfortunately, it's too late.”
"Is that so? I still have things to deal with in the Imperial Residence. I have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's departure.”
As soon as he entered the Prince's mansion, Uncle Fu rushed over.”
He opened the note." Young Master, everything has been arranged properly. We will wait for Young Master's signal!”
With a clench of his fingers, the note turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.
"Uncle Fu, I'm going to settle some matters for big brother tomorrow. I'll be gone for a while, so you'll be taking care of Ni Shang.”
"Xuan 'er, be careful when you go out. Pay attention to your safety. I'll go pack your luggage now.”
At night, Ling Yuxuan walked alone and unknowingly arrived at the Flowing Water Courtyard. Looking at Ni Shang standing there alone in a daze, he felt a little stifled.
"Brother Ling, why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong? I'm so sad!"
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, a voice called out from behind him," Brother Ling, you're here. I was just talking about you, and you're here.”
"I came over…I came over to tell you. I'm going out tomorrow, so I won't be in the mansion for a while. I'll get the butler to take care of you, so you can treat it as your own home.”
"Big Brother Ling, I want to go with you. Didn't you say you wanted to bring me to play? You didn't keep your word." She pouted in dissatisfaction.
Ling Yuxuan was lost in thought again as he thought of the kiss by the lake.
"No, I'm not going to play this time. I have something to do. I won't be able to take care of you then, so it's better for you to stay in the wang fu.”
" Big Brother Ling, Big Brother Ling…" Looking at the person who had walked far away, Ni Shang giggled," Big Brother Ling, you only said that you wouldn't bring me along, but you didn't say that you wanted me to go by myself and prepare my luggage.”
Early the next morning, she received an imperial edict from the Emperor to send Ling Yuxuan to Qushui Town to investigate the matter of military rations. However, she did not expect the Emperor to actually want Ling Yuxuan to bring Ni Shang along with him. Hearing this, Ni Shang laughed happily.
"Big Brother Ling, the Emperor has issued an edict that I can go out with you.”Beside him, Ling Yuxuan's face was frighteningly dark, but Ni Shang was unmoved and looked at him with a smile.
The two of them rode on their horses and left the city gate with some luggage. Ling Yuxuan didn't know how to face Ni Shang and didn't speak much along the way.
