The two of them looked at each other for a long time. The man no longer spoke because he could not think of any words to persuade her.

"Yuwen Tuo, if you really don't want me to follow the High Priest, then tell me now, do you love me?" Looking into his eyes, he gave him his last chance.

That's right, the man's name was Yuwen Tuo. He was the son of the great general Yuwen Tai, the future great general's heir!

Yuwen Tuo looked at his love-filled eyes. He understood her heart, but he could still clearly remember the day when the king gave up on Cen Nuo and promised the king to give up on Yu Wu. If he changed his mind today, Yu Wu would ask him why he said he didn't love her that day and why he didn't want his to know the truth!

"Yu Wu, actually, the king loves you very much. Why didn't you consider it?" A crisp slap sounded out. A handprint appeared on Yuwen Tuo's face.

Yiyu Wu did not expect that even now, he was still speaking up for her. Did they have some sort of agreement? Why did they have to do this to her? Why did he give himself up to someone else? Why?

Her eyes overflowing with tears, Dan Yu Wu pointed at Yuwen Tuo and said painfully: "Yuwen Tuo, I hate you. Why do you keep pushing me away? Don't you know that the person I love from start to finish is you, Yuwen Tuo? To Li Li, I only have brotherly feelings for him, and now that he is the King, he already has three thousand beauties in the harem, so why are you pushing me over to him? "

Every word of their conversation in the pavilion reached the ears of Helian Lie, who had been hiding in the dark. Yu Wu actually wanted to follow the High Priest? She would rather not marry, than to accept him …

Every word of Yan Ming made Helian Lie clench his fists tightly. The person Yu Wu loved was always Tuo Tuo, and to him, there was only brotherly feelings. How laughable … Ridiculous...

He did not know how he got out of the lake and returned to the palace, but the sounds of the two quarreling still rang in his ears. Since that was the case, he would not force himself, and he would not stop them.

He pointed to the starry sky. After the Single Feather Dance had left, Yuwen Tuo borrowed the wine in the pavilion to dispel his worries and became drunk from drinking. He only heard Zhao Chengde casually mention it in his ears the next day.

"I wonder what happened to Yu Wen last night. He actually got drunk in the pavilion in the imperial garden. I don't even know when he entered the palace." Zhao Chengde was the head eunuch, so no matter what happened in the palace, it would not escape his ears.

Yuwen Tuo and Yu Wu had grown up with him in the palace and had always had the right to enter and exit the palace. Even after he ascended the throne, he had not changed.

"We pay our respects to the king. We have received a report from General Yuwen!" Outside the door, the Azure Dragon reported the news he had received to the King as soon as possible.

Helian Lie was not an unconscious king. When he heard that it was Yuwen Tai, he immediately asked Zhao Chengde to bring in the Azure Dragon.

"When?" Helian Lie waved his hand towards the green dragon, who then handed the tube in his hand to the king.

"Helian Shan opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter inside. The army would arrive in the capital city in a few days and remove all the bandits at the border. That would be the correct thing to do …" "Alright!"

This was a joyous occasion. Helian Lie reckoned that they should at least clean up the dust for them, no?

"Pass down the order that General Yuwen's army will return triumphantly in the future. In order to cleanse General Yuwen of his dust, the palace will hold a celebratory feast that day and reward all the soldiers!" Helian Lie shouted, and Zhao Changde immediately followed the order and passed it down.

They had not seen each other for more than a month. Helian Zhuang thought of his younger brother, Helian Zheng, who had gone on a campaign with the army. He had heard that the boy had repeatedly made meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

"Brat, hahaha …"

The army had covered the distance of five days, and would soon reach the city walls.

She had been looking forward to it day and night, and was finally about to return to the capital of Lou Lan. This way, she would be able to stand closer to Lou Lan.

"What are you thinking about? Seeing that you've been in a daze for the past few days and always have a silly smile on your face, could it be that the Prince has said something to you? " Aunt Wang noticed that Cen Xue was still in a daze as she approached her curiously.

Cen Xue felt a little embarrassed at the aunt's question, but thinking carefully about what the aunt had said just now, she nervously retorted, "Aunt, what did you say? What did the Prince say to me? "Nothing at all!"

She was afraid that others would misunderstand that she had an intimate relationship with Helian Jue. Helian Jue was Li Shi's younger brother, so he would have to call her sister-in-law in the future.

The aunt continued to ask her with a smile, "Then tell the aunt that we'll be back in the capital tomorrow. Since you're not willing to stay at the aunt's place, where are you going?"

"I …" So someone really had misunderstood.

Cen Xue looked at the aunt and the other doctors and began to stammer.

"Okay, okay, don't force this girl. But if you don't have anywhere else to go, then remember to come to our old couple on South Street. If you ask around, you'll find General Yuwen's old military doctor and the neighbors will tell you where we live." Seeing that Cen Xue was too embarrassed to speak, the wife of the aunt helped her out.

"Mm …" Cen Xue revealed a grateful expression as she vigorously nodded her head.

The last night, the great army camped at the foot of the mountain. Tomorrow morning, they would set out on their journey, and according to the aunt, they would arrive at the city walls around noon.

Cen Xue was not sure if it was excitement or excitement as she tossed and turned in her bed all night long. As if she had thought of something, she suddenly sat up and took out the set of clothes she was wearing when she first came. She thought that if she personally came to greet the army tomorrow, how could she possibly attract his attention if she was dressed like this?

She had not washed her body for many days after arriving here. She sniffed her body and it was so smelly. She had never tried not to bathe for so many days before. This time, she was going to endure it.

"No, I have to prepare myself tonight. I can't wait until tomorrow to see Li Jun. If Li Shan dislikes me, then there's no hope." Cen Xue thought for a while. It was already midnight, so no one would discover her.

She remembered that when she went to fetch water, the trees around the river were very tall and lush. If someone came, she would hide behind the bushes and not be seen. Everyone would be asleep by then, so there would definitely be no one running to the river.

She carefully checked around to make sure that there was no one around before finding a relatively secluded spot to take off her smelly clothes. However, as a precaution, she didn't dare to take off her clothes completely, as she was wearing underpants and the water under her apron.

"Wah …" It's so comfortable, just the water's a little cold. " Cen Xue squatted down in the small river. This river shore's water was very shallow and had just reached Cen Xue's knees. Although she was pretty good at water, it would be too late by this time so for safety's sake, it would be better to stay close to the shore to wash. She didn't dare to walk into the depths of the river.

It was already September, she didn't think that the human books would bring her back here. They had already picked her out over the years, the cold river flowed across her skin. Over the past ten days, she had been helping out in the military camp, but fortunately it wasn't dark.

Without any toiletries, Cen Xue could only use the river to wash her body clean. This kind of place could not have too many requirements, it was already good enough for her to have water to bathe in.

The surroundings were pitch-black, with only a weak light coming from the distant military camp. However, a hundred meters away, there were dense bushes blocking the way. Basically, the light could not reach here.

Cen Xue held the river in her hands, wetting her face. Under the baptism of clear water, her previously dark skin regained its former luster. There were still some crystal clear drops on her fair skin, which looked exceptionally clear under the moonlight.

She was an enchanting woman with wavy hair that had not been trimmed in half a year, which made Cen Xue feel like her hair had grown longer and longer. It would be impossible for her to lose it even if she wanted to.

When her long hair had just entered the river, she suddenly felt as if someone was looking at her from behind. She immediately turned around and looked behind her. No one? Could he be hiding in the grass and watching him?

"Who …" Who's there? " Cen Xue was a little flustered and wanted to leave as her instincts were always accurate. There must be someone sneakily looking at her from nearby. Fortunately, she was wearing a undergarment and since it was so late, she shouldn't be able to see anything.

It was not good to stay here any longer. Just as Cen Xue got up to leave, something seemed to have stopped her feet. Could it be that there was a ghost in the river? Don't scare her …

After struggling for a while, Cen Xue was slowly pulled down the river. Seeing that the situation was bad, Cen Xue could no longer hesitate and shouted, "Help …" "Save …"

Before she could call out a second time, a person suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water. Cen Xue didn't even have the chance to clearly see who he was. What did he look like? His red lips had already been tightly sealed, and a pair of iron arms tightly wrapped around her body!

"Ugh …" "Ugh …" Cen Xue struggled desperately, but this man's embrace was too tight for her. However, when Cen Xue saw his eyes, she felt a sense of familiarity, a sense of familiarity …

Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared in his mind. It was him! It was him! Helian Fu …

"Wang... "Grandpa …" Cen Xue forcefully squeezed out these two words from her mouth. As expected, it worked. The man stopped his movements and even loosened his grip.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cen Xue exerted all her strength and forcefully pushed him away while retreating backwards. However, perhaps it was due to the excessive force, or perhaps the unevenness of the river caused her to lose her balance and fall backwards.

Cen Xue had already prepared herself and fell into the water. Just at that moment, Helian Jue agilely stepped forward and grabbed her arm, forcefully pulling her back into his embrace, letting her stand firmly in his embrace. "Are you alright?"

Cen Xue looked at his face, then at the faint moonlight. She could clearly see his facial features and sure enough, it was him …

"No, nothing's wrong …" After regaining her footing, Cen Xue pushed him away once again and prepared to run back to the shore to put on her clothes.

However, just as she turned around, Helian Jue came up from behind and tightly hugged her from behind, "Don't go, aren't you here to bathe?"
