Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 185 The infatuated species

"Daxian, what about you guys?" Pei Nai asked each member of the alliance team about their next plan.

Gongyang Zisheng sat behind Daxian and also listened to his orders.

Da Xian looked Pei Nai in the face. "I have to go back to Mixiang, the capital of Qilu. There are many things to deal with in the country. The Wu tribe's cavalry has not completely withdrawn from Lu, and Yue Cang is not stupid. He attacked Lu just to destroy all the Linshangshui. If things are not done yet, the Wu tribe will definitely come back."

His analysis is on point.

The situation in the territory of Lu State is still unclear, and Yue Cang is very likely to take other actions.

He went on to say, "Lu State is to the west of Qilu. Qilu borders it, and is much closer than Tianyao. After I finish my important business, I will lead my troops back. If you have obtained the Linshang Water by then, we will meet in Huayun Village. If not, I will lead my troops to the secret realm of Lu State to support you."

"That couldn't be better." Pei Nai agreed, and then looked at Da Xi Shang Le, "Shang Le, are you following your brother?"

Da Xi Shangle nodded, "Yes, let's go back together first."

Pei Nai turned around and looked at Zhang Sheng and Lu Xulan again.

Zhang Sheng then said, "The Valley Kingdom needs to rebuild after the war and cannot do without us, but before the war comes, we will definitely meet again."

Pei Nai and the others understood what Zhang Sheng meant. She asked again, "After we leave, you don't have any troops to protect you. Do you need us to leave a group of troops behind?"

Zhang Sheng shook his head. "The border defense agencies of the Valley Country have all been restarted. We also have the antidote for the poison left by the Lord. I will not give any uninvited guests any chance."

He has been reborn, and there is a toughness in his eyes that he has never had before, which makes Pei Nai feel deeply touched.

"Senior Zhong, what about you?" Pei Nai continued to ask.

Elder Zhong turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "I am tired and old. I can't walk too far. I will wait for your good news here."

This is good. If an accident occurs in the Valley Kingdom, Senior Zhong can still lend a helping hand to Zhang Sheng and the others.

Everyone's destination has been determined, and Gu Jinheng, Da Xian and Zhang Sheng exchanged a lot of intelligence information between countries.

Everyone ended the alliance team meeting and prepared to set off the next day.

Zhang Sheng and Senior Zhong had already left the meeting hall.

Shao Liran walked towards Da Xi Shangle.

With a careful attempt to please him, he observed Da Xi Shang Le's expression and asked, "Are you still angry? I really have nothing to do with that princess. There won't be a next time. Don't be angry with me, okay?"

"She hugged you and you didn't push her away! What else is there to explain? I'm not blind." This was the first time that Da Xi Shangle got so angry.

Da Xian sat aside and looked back at her, but there was obviously no heartache or worry in his eyes. Instead, he seemed to be watching a show.

After all, when Da Xi Shangle and Shao Liran were together, they often showed off their love in front of Da Xi'an.

Pei Nai was also confused by their argument.

The two were in love a few days ago, why did they suddenly start quarreling today?

Shao Liran felt very aggrieved. "I had clearly rejected her a few days ago. She kept pestering me, but I didn't touch her at all. Her footsteps really sounded like yours. When she hugged me from behind that day, I thought it was you, so I didn't break free in time. You just happened to see me."

"Shao Liran is so lucky. Not only did he get promoted and made a fortune, but even the princess of the Valley Kingdom threw herself into his arms. No wonder he has become cold to me recently!" Da Xi Shangle didn't believe his explanation at all.

Everyone looked at her and then at Shao Liran.

"Cold?" Shao Liran was a little confused.

He thought about it, then reacted and said anxiously: "No, I've been busy with military duties recently. I may have neglected you. Sorry, I will change. Don't be angry, okay?"

He wanted to come over and hold her hand, but was pushed away by Da Xi Shangle.

Da Xi Shangle said decisively and coldly: "No need, I am the Princess of Qilu, I never give men a second chance, at worst I can just change, I don't like you anymore, let's break up!"

I think the last two sentences hit Shao Liran hard.

His eyes were filled with grief, and he stared at her for a long while before turning around and leaving, without even taking the Duxi long sword with him.

"Your new knife!" Han Ruize shouted from behind, but Shao Liran did not turn back.

Han Ruize sighed, grabbed the nanmu wooden box with gold edges containing the Duxi long sword, picked it up with one hand, and followed him out.

Gu Jinheng also turned around, touched Pei Nai's cheek, lowered his head and said: "I have some things to deal with. I will come to pick you up later. Let's make lunch and eat together at noon?"

"Okay." Pei Nai thought about being separated from him for a while and wanted to spend more time with him.

After hearing her agreement, Gu Jinheng took Luo Yuanying and Du Ling away.

Pei Nai, Huyan Weizhao and Da Xian were the only ones left in the meeting hall.

Pei Nai had been very optimistic about Shao Liran and Da Xi Shangle.

The young genius general and the foreign bright princess are a perfect match no matter how you look at them, and if they can get married, it will also help to bring the two countries closer together. Shao Liran is a member of the Pei family army, and Pei Nai is also very sorry that his wife ran away.

Pei Nai said to Da Xian: "Don't you want to persuade him?"

"What's there to persuade her? She breaks up with men once or twice every year. It's not uncommon." Da Xian glanced at his sister.

Pei Nai was extremely surprised, "Huh?"

"No, let me put it this way, I am the only infatuated person in the Da Xi family in recent generations." Da Xi An said directly.

Da Xi Shangle echoed beside him: "Yes, my brother has never been interested in women. We have always suspected that he has a homosexual tendency."

"You should learn more from my sister. Don't always rely on the same thing. Consider me." Daxian changed the subject, looked directly at Pei Nai, and spoke up for himself.

Pei Nai's mouth twitched, and he rejected him harshly again: "No hope, let's give up. If you marry me, the future mother of Qilu will be a foreigner. Wouldn't you be written to death in the history books of later generations?"

After hearing her words, Da Xian asked, "Don't you know your position in the hearts of the people? If I marry you, I will be a national hero."

Da Xi Shangle nodded continuously. It seemed that compared with marrying into Tianyao, she hoped that her royal brother could marry Pei Nai more.

"Yes, Sister Pei Nai. I heard that ordinary schools in Qilu are now beginning to recruit girls. Women no longer focus all their attention on taking care of their husbands and children, but also begin to enrich themselves and try to make some contributions to the country. Your story has changed the will of countless people and made women no longer look weak."

Pei Nai was choked by them and couldn't say anything in response.

Da Xi Shangle thought of something else, "However, it is difficult to change the concept that has been passed down for thousands of years. Many men cannot accept that their wives are stronger than themselves, and there are still many conflicts and contradictions."

Then she asked, "Sister Pei Nai, did you have a fight with the Duanding Guild?"

Pei Nai thought about it and realized that she had indeed never quarreled with Gu Jinheng.

Ten years ago, Gu Jinheng was mute and could only express his unhappiness through the cold war, forcing her to compromise. She would then coax him and then they would reconcile.

Ten years later, Gu Jinheng couldn't bear to let her be unhappy in the slightest.

Pei Nai shook his head and said, "Nowadays, he usually lets me do what I want, but I will also let him do what he is determined to do."

"For example, you are not allowed to touch the spear until your injury is healed?" Da Xi Shangle asked again.

Pei Nai pouted and nodded.

There is nothing to say about this, after all, it is for Pei Nai's physical safety.

Da Xi Shangle secretly glanced at her royal brother and always felt that there was little hope for him.

Pei Nai thought about it and decided that since he had nothing else to do today, he said goodbye to them and went to find Senior Zhong to ask him about martial arts.

Daxian rested his arm on the armrest, gently supported the side of his face with his hand, and stared at Pei Nai's back until she disappeared from his sight.

Da Xi was happy to see his state. He looked at Gongyang Zisheng helplessly and sighed in his heart.

　【Shao Liran/Character Story Card】（3/3）

　　The old soldier took the long sword from his waist and handed it to Shao Liran, "This sword happens to be a little blunt, it's perfect for you to practice with, I'll give it to you! When you grow up, if you have any ideas, come to the Pei Family Army to find us!"

　　Shao Liran took the long sword.

　　Although the knife was covered with scratches and notches, it was that knife that saved his and his grandmother's lives.

　　Pei Jiajun left their county town the next day, and he and his grandmother depended on each other for another five years.

　　When he was twelve years old, his grandmother passed away. He was left without any relatives. He took the last of his money and set out alone to the base of Pei's former army.

　　The soldiers of Pei's army checked the information for him and found out that the old soldier who gave him the long sword had died in the Battle of Chishan three years ago.

　　The soldiers of the Pei Family Army asked him: "The commander of the Pei Family Army has sacrificed his life for the country, Wan Yue Blood Whip has also left Tianyao, the Pei Family Army is no longer what it used to be, are you sure you want to stay?"

　　Shao Liran nodded firmly, and from then on joined the Pei family army and began to receive basic training.

　　People say that he is a genius with a knife, and he is rarely seen in a century.

　　But no one had ever noticed his talent when he was young. He chose to practice with the long sword simply because the old soldier of the Pei family army gave him just that long sword.

　　And his life was also saved by the long sword.

　　He did not think that his sword skills were his own talent. He always felt that it was the inheritance given to him by his ancestors and the inheritance of generations of Pei family soldiers defending their country.

　　Behind a long sword is a story that has lasted for hundreds of years.

　　The sword will eventually turn to dust, and the hero's body will return to dust, but the innocent heart will never grow cold.
