Big Moon Ballad

On a section of the city wall far away from Shanhaiguan City, Ying Baoyue and Li Ji sat side by side on the top of the wall.

This place is already far away from the city, and the swaying lights and bustling voices have become blurry. All that can be seen is the vast wilderness in front of us and the bright moon hanging high above our heads.

The two of them chose this place not because they wanted to create a romantic atmosphere, nor because they wanted to hide from everyone.

The two people were sitting at the intersection of the eastern and western sections of the Great Wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Sitting here, they could not only feel the movement in Shanhaiguan City in the eastern section, but also remotely sense the atmosphere in the western section.

According to the intelligence brought by Ji Jiashu, the elite cavalry transferred from the White Wolf Court attacked the western section. Before he left, Xu Yishan and Chen Zichu took his place and led the rebels and the Northern Wei defenders to resist tenaciously.

After the crisis in Shanhaiguan City was resolved, Ji Jiashu originally planned to return to the western section immediately to rescue the rebels, but Li Ji sensed that the fighting in the western section of the Great Wall had stopped. At the same time, Ying Baoyue also sensed the auras of Zhao Guang and Baili Celing. It seemed that those two people arrived at the western section of the Great Wall in time and controlled the White Wolf Royal Court's army.

Ji Jiashu's hanging heart was relieved, and his whole body collapsed to the ground. Under such circumstances, he naturally could not be allowed to travel long distances. In addition, the entire Shanhaiguan City was being turned upside down by people inside and outside the city. No matter which side's troops were allowed to move tonight, Ying Baoyue immediately signaled Ying Xun to order the former Qin Dynasty to All the troops entered Shanhaiguan City to rest and recuperate.

It happened that Meng Shi's order came from the city to capture the rebellious defenders of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Those who surrendered would be forgotten. At the same time, they welcomed the former Qin King Ying Xun and the former Qin army into the city.

The chaos in the city was quelled.

No matter what happens tomorrow, at least there won't be any big moves from all parties tonight.

But Ying Baoyue and Li Ji did not dare to take it lightly, and chose this place to prepare for vigil while monitoring the movements of the eastern and western sections of the Great Wall.

It was said to be a vigil, but after all, there were only the two of them here, and Li Ji set up a barrier to prevent eavesdropping.

This situation is perfect for talking about.

But at this time, Li Ji was not as high-spirited as he was during the day.

Li Ji sat ten feet away from Ying Baoyue. He seemed to be sitting upright, but in fact he was as stiff as a stone. He wanted to shrink into a ball, and only one sentence came from his whole body.

That is regret, very regret.

Looking at his appearance, Ying Baoyue felt funny and nostalgic at the same time.

If she hadn't remembered his appearance as a child, she might not have noticed the embarrassment this man was feeling.

She was startled when Li Ji hugged her before, thinking that this man's temperament had changed. But now looking at his regretful look, it turned out that he didn't realize it until after he hugged her.

"What's the use of regretting now?" Ying Baoyue laughed, "You've done everything."

"In public, in front of everyone."

There was a buzzing in Li Ji's ears, and his head hurt badly.

Under thousands of troops, in the middle of such a chaotic battlefield, he took Ying Baoyue into his arms.

Ordinary soldiers can't see it, but high-level practitioners can definitely see it.

The most important thing is that Ji Jiashu is standing in front of the city gate.

Li Ji covered his head and felt as if needles were pricking his temples. When the blood in his body faded, he realized what an impulsive thing he had done.

But it was too late.

He didn't regret the hug, but as long as the engagement was not broken off, Ying Baoyue would still be Ji Jiashu's fiancée. His impulsiveness will undoubtedly hurt others.

Li Ji felt very ashamed when he thought of the agreement he and Ji Jiashu had made when they talked in the Xiling Snow Mountain.

Ying Baoyue looked at the shameful expressions of the people around her, and suddenly felt the urge to touch Li Ji's head.

And she really did.

Li Ji was shocked when he noticed the warmth on his head, and looked blankly at the person who moved to his side.

"You don't have to feel guilty," Ying Baoyue said softly, "I am the one who is engaged, and I am the one who did not push you away."

"I am the guilty one, you did nothing wrong."

When Li Ji first learned of her identity, it was normal for him to be shocked and act impulsively, but she was always sober. She chose to perish while she was awake.

So it's not Li Ji's fault.

Ying Baoyue touched Li Ji's head and said, "If God wants to punish me, just punish me."

Why could she say such a thing?

Li Ji stared at the calm person beside him. This face completely overlapped with the figure in his memory.

"No, Baoyue," Li Ji took a deep breath, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not regretting what I did on the battlefield."

He was ashamed, but not regretful.

Even if he had to do it over ten thousand times, he would only do the same thing.

The moment he saw her, even if he committed an unforgivable sin, he couldn't help but want her.

"I couldn't see anything but you at that moment."

"I can't help but want to touch you even though I know I'll hurt other people."

Ying Baoyue's hand touching Li Ji's head froze, and she stared at the sparkling eyes of the person next to her that blended into the night.

Such words come from the mouth of a person who is usually aloof and upright, and they are really very lethal.

She suddenly understood why she wanted to touch Li Ji's head just now.

She originally thought that his personality had changed as he grew up, but now it seems that nothing has changed at all.

Even though he hides himself under a cold and distant appearance, Li Ji is still the enthusiastic and pure young man on the inside.

"I understand," Ying Baoyue said softly, "So this is a problem shared by both of us. Let's solve it together later, okay?"

Li Ji nodded, his feverish mind finally sobered up and he could think about other issues.

He had many things to ask, but he didn't know where to start. His eyes unconsciously looked towards the Great Wall under the moonlight.

"There seems to be no movement on the Great Wall on the Hou Liao side," Li Ji frowned, "The ones who were attacked were all from the Northern Wei side. Is there no problem on the Hou Liao side?"

"With Master's wife and Fei Lan here, unless Yun Zhongjun comes in person, nothing will happen." Ying Baoyue looked in the direction of Hou Liao, "Even if something happens, Master's wife will inform me in advance."

The Great Wall in the Northern Wei Dynasty became the target of public criticism for three reasons. First, it had been breached before and left flaws. Second, the Northern Wei Dynasty no longer had the Son of God to guard it, and its deterrence against Xirong was greatly reduced.

Third, the vitality of the Northern Wei royal family was greatly damaged, and the morale and loyalty of the army were affected.

Persimmons are all picky. If Xu Canghai had not retreated and the King of the Northern Wei Dynasty had not been plotted, the Northern Wei Dynasty would not have been so miserable.

Compared with the crisis-ridden Northern Wei Dynasty, the situation in Hou Liao was much better.

"Feilan?" Li Ji repeated in a low voice. He hadn't heard this name for a long time. It was the first time he heard Ying Baoyue address Murong Feilan by his first name so affectionately.

Yes, the two of them were childhood sweethearts.

When he was investigating Shao Siming's past, he saw a lot of information emerging in Li Ji's mind. He took a deep breath and asked, "Does Murong Feilan know who you are?"

Ying Baoyue was stunned and smiled bitterly, "He should have known it a long time ago."

Li Ji's mood became complicated, "Was it when you met in Soochow?"

Ying Baoyue nodded, "He recognized it at first sight."

You can recognize it at a glance...

Li Ji was silent for a moment and looked at Ying Baoyue, "He likes you, right?"

Ah Ji, I advise you not to look into it too closely.
