It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 536 Be Frank and Clear

Outside the gate of Lingshan Temple, the midday sun penetrated the branches and leaves of the forest and formed mottled shadows on the slightly muddy ground.

When the wind blows, the shadows sway.

This moment seems to be the most peaceful and quiet time on Mount Songshan.

But the burnt smell and faint smell of blood in the air made everything extremely disharmonious.

Zhang Heng and his men surrounded Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao. The Xiongnu soldiers brought by Liu Cong were still killing and smashing in the temple and did not come out.

But when they heard the quarrel between Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao, they were a little at a loss.

At least in my impression, this is Brother Liu, the girl's best friend. Why did they start quarreling?

Moreover, every word these two people said was sharp, and what they said was about national justice, which made people feel extremely frightened.

Zhang Heng was very nervous, and even secretly thought that if Liu Yao hurt Yang Xianrong, he should be the first to run over and kill Liu Yao. However, his martial arts skills were obviously not as good as Liu Yao's, so he should call a few more people to join him. He turned his head and looked at his own people, but he didn't know what to do. This group of people all looked like bald monks, with bare hands, trembling, and had no idea what to do.

Liu Yao pursed his lips and waited for her reply.

Yang Xianrong had secretly clenched his fists, wondering in his mind how to say it.

Zhang Heng wanted to move closer, but his foot stepped on a dry branch, which made a noise and attracted Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao to look towards him.

"Commander Zhang... Zhang Heng, take your men and move away. I want to say a few words to Brother Liu." Yang Xianrong knew that what she was about to say must be a secret that no one else could hear. If these people were killed because of it, she would not be able to bear it.

"Girl." Zhang Heng hesitated.

Yang Xianrong also looked at Liu Yao for a second longer before saying, "It's nothing. I just want to talk to Brother Liu about something. You guys just retreat to the woods over there. By the way, let's go see how far Sima Chi and the others have gone. We shouldn't fall behind too much."

"Where is Brother Xu Dao?" Zhang Heng couldn't help but ask again.

"Don't worry about him, he went back to Mount Zhongnan to find Master Xu." Yang Xianrong waved her hand, signaling them to hurry into the woods. In fact, she was also worried. If the crazy Liu Cong ran out of Lingshan Temple and saw Zhang Heng and the others still dressed as monks, would he start a massacre again?

“Oh oh oh.” Zhang Heng clenched his fists. “Girl, if you have any problem, just shout loudly. We won’t go too far.”

"Well, go ahead." Yang Xianrong nodded and ignored them. She just said to Liu Yao, "Are you here to see me? Or is there something else?"

"Looking for you." Liu Yao replied.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"worried."

"Why don't you worry?"

"Because I'm worried about you."

Yang Xianrong was speechless. How would others think if a grown man said such words? Seeing that Zhang Heng and his group of 70 or 80 people had already walked into the woods and should not be able to hear anything, she suddenly asked, "Can you be honest with me and tell me the truth?"

"I am telling the truth." Liu Yao replied.

"Then how did you know I would be here?" Yang Xianrong asked in a different way. "I just guessed."

"Liu Yao, do you know who I am?" Yang Xianrong was annoyed.

"You are the third sister." Liu Yao had an extremely sincere look on his face, which made Yang Xianrong want to hit him.

"Do you... want to be emperor?" Yang Xianrong finally asked.

"Yes." This time, Liu Yao's answer was still simple and straightforward.

"So this is why you came to me? Do you really think my phoenix destiny can bring you the throne of the emperor?"

"These are two different things." Liu Yao took a half step closer to Yang Xianrong. He thought for a moment before saying, "Third sister, you know I'm not good at talking, but this matter cannot be confused. I want to be the emperor because the world is in chaos and these people are either stupid or bad. I grew up with my father and learned from him that a real man should have a broad mind and want to do something. The second thing is that I want to be with you, not just your Big Brother Liu."

"You know my identity..." Yang Xianrong emphasized again.

"Yes, I know it very well. I just regret that I got to know you a little late, but it's not too late now." When he said this, Liu Yao was actually a little nervous, staring at Yang Xianrong's little face, afraid that she would be unhappy. "I... have always known that my feelings for you are different from others. Now, you are not the queen of Dajin, so I think we can be together."

"What are you talking about? Even if I'm not the queen of the Jin Dynasty, you are still a general of the Han Dynasty. We are enemies."

"Then the whole world will be mine? You are also my subject, can't you be with me?" Liu Yao actually said such words, and Yang Xianrong was stunned again.

"You didn't say that. Someone must have said something behind your back, right?" Based on Yang Xianrong's understanding of Liu Yao, he would not have such ability to think critically.

"It was my father." Liu Yao nodded. "He asked me if I liked you and if I would marry you. I answered yes. He said that I should become the emperor so that I could be with you..."

"Liu Cong is the emperor!"

"...So what? The situation is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen next?"

Yang Xianrong's mind was also confused. Looking at Liu Yao like this, she asked, "Why did you look for me?"

"worried."

Faced with Liu Yao's answer again, Yang Xianrong was completely annoyed, "Liu Yao, I just want to go home and live the rest of my life in peace. I don't want to be involved in anything anymore! Do you understand?"

"Third sister, I know. I can go with you. In fact, I am no longer a general of the Han Dynasty. I have let go of everything. I went to Tai'an County to find you and saw your smile at the wedding of my second brother and Cui Xi... I did hesitate, but, I still say that, I am really worried, I... really like you." Liu Yao stammered and finally said this sentence.

He looked at Yang Xianrong nervously, his hands were shaking.

He wanted to hold her hand, but was afraid of offending her.

He was a man who had been through many battles and had seen all kinds of situations. But when he stood in front of the skinny little girl who was a head shorter than him, he actually sweated and blushed.

"Hey, Brother Liu is talking to the third sister?" Liu Cong walked out of the mountain gate, with a lot of blood on his face. He was wiping the blood off his hands with someone's monk's robe, smiling very brightly, and his white teeth looked very grim.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yao was also a little frightened. He pulled Yang Xianrong behind him and said, "Your Majesty, I was just chatting with my third sister."

"Yes." Liu Cong looked at Yang Xianrong meaningfully and said with a smile: "Third sister, the imperial seal has been used up. Shouldn't you return it to me?"
