To Rule in a Turbulent World

You Miao thought for a long time, and always felt that there were a few words that she had to say to Li Zhifeng.

"I am a Han, and you are a dog." You Miao said, "There will be battles between countries, there will be killings, there will be prisoners of war, and there will be slaves."

"We can't decide these things. You were captured by us Han people and suffered a lot. Li Yan wanted to kill you back then. But I saved you. I admit, yes, I didn't treat you as a friend at first But during the years you stayed in the Central Plains, although you didn’t live the life of a prince, I also...I also..."

You Miao couldn't continue talking for a while, Li Zhifeng stopped when he heard this.

"I also...have never treated you as a slave. You rescued me from Yanbian, and I think there is no difference between the two of us who is the master and who is the slave. During the days when I returned to the south of the Yangtze River, I was surrounded by only You, Li Zhifeng, I am very... dependent on you. I know you are the only one, but I also only have you. There is nothing else but you. When I returned to Beijing for the exam, I thought about..."

Li Zhifeng suddenly laughed.

"I don't understand." Li Zhifeng said with a smile.

You Miao was a little surprised, he rarely saw Li Zhifeng smiling, the night was pitch black, and he couldn't see Li Zhifeng's face.But he knew that Li Zhifeng was laughing.

"... At that moment, I thought, this life... seems to be inseparable from you..."

Li Zhifeng stood there quietly with You Miao on his back, when You Miao said this, he suddenly felt a burst of sadness.

"I like you and want to marry you. Just like when you and I were together, you took care of me as your daughter-in-law... It's a bit strange to say that, but..." You Miao thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Acacia We will know when we will meet each other, but it is embarrassing at this night."

At that moment, You Miao couldn't help but burst out laughing, and she had something to say in her heart, even if it's a thousand words, it's not as good as such a poem.

Li Zhifeng stopped and asked You Miao to come down. The two had already walked not far from the military tents, and the brightly lit marching tents were in front of them.

You Miao walked up to him and wanted to say a few words to him, but Li Zhifeng turned sideways to avoid the lights. At the moment when he turned around, You Miao suddenly saw the light of tears flickering in the corner of his eyes!

"Go." Li Zhifeng said.

"No." You Miao stepped forward and hugged Li Zhifeng's waist tightly.

"If you want to go home." You Miao said again: "Just go back, I won't stop you, there is no other meaning in saying this today, you and I get together, I just want to tell you, I think so Yes, if I were a woman, no matter Han or Hu, I would follow you, but I am a man, and I have to report the hatred of the country and the family, and I can’t ignore the apocalypse.”

Li Zhifeng hummed, didn't say yes, and didn't say no, just replied: "Got it."

You Miao was a little confused, but Li Zhifeng just took his hand and walked towards the tent. You Miao said, "You..."

"I...understood." Li Zhifeng turned his head, his voice choked with sobs.

This time You Miao could see it clearly - Li Zhifeng was crying.

The two returned to the tent, Li Zhifeng sat down in silence, You Miao didn't ask him what he thought, but he said all the words he had accumulated for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.Li Zhifeng was sitting and You Miao was lying down. He turned around and stared blankly at Li Zhifeng, thinking that he was very good-looking.

Maybe if you rescued You Miao, Li Zhifeng would go home, and they would be separated from each other, and they would never see each other again.

After a long time, You Miao was dozing off, but Li Zhifeng's voice said, "My brother wants to get rid of me."

You Miao woke up suddenly when she heard this, and said, "Huh?"

Li Zhifeng said: "That year he set a trap and asked me to go to Menghe County and meet you Han people..."

"I know." You Miao already guessed something from the conversation between He Motie'er and Li Zhifeng, and said, "You were arrested in the capital afterward, right?"

Li Zhifeng nodded. You Miao was a little surprised why he said this, but then Li Zhifeng said: "You let me go in Yanbian City that day, but I can't go back. My brother will kill me. I can't stay in Inu Rong anymore."

You Miao immediately recalled the past few years ago. In Yanbian City, he put the deed of sale and the silver into Li Zhifeng's hands, and they parted ways, but Li Zhifeng came back again... Everything is so far away that it seems to have happened in the previous life. As if right in front of your eyes.

You Miao said: "So...after leaving Yanbian City that day, you have been following me..."

You Miao staggered up and hugged Li Zhifeng tightly from behind.

Li Zhifeng couldn't help convulsing, and his breathing became more and more serious. This was when You Miao saw him the most excited. In the end, he didn't say anything, turned around, and looked at You Miao with red eyes, with suppressed tears in his eyes.

They hugged and kissed each other, and You Miao's soul seemed to come back at this moment, and his heart that had been hanging around had finally returned to reality.Li Zhifeng put his fingers into You Miao's hair, holding him with unprecedented strength.

"Then do you want to go back to Quanrong?" You Miao asked.

Li Zhifeng said in a deep voice, "I...I don't know..."

You Miao comforted: "It doesn't matter, you can go back if you want to go."

Li Zhifeng let him go, and they looked at each other, as if they were about to face the imminent parting in the next moment.You Miao looked into his eyes, touched his face, and said, "You know why I want to go back, and I also know why you want to go back."

Li Zhifeng's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but the voice of a soldier came from outside.

You Miao immediately let go of Li Zhifeng and knelt behind him. Li Zhifeng straightened his robes and frowned slightly. Immediately afterwards, Tang lifted the curtain, came in with a bow, and knelt in front of Li Zhifeng.

You Miao immediately realized that Tang was here to accompany the night?

Tang sighed in a low voice, You Miao could see that she was holding a hairpin for suicide in her hand, and hurriedly whispered: "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law."

You Miao got up and went to look in front of the curtain, and after confirming that the soldiers had brought Tang over, she left, saying, "There is no one else."

Li Zhifeng nodded, picked up the copper pot and poured a bowl of goat's milk for Tang, and placed it in front of her. Tang's eyes were red and trembling, he glanced at Li Zhifeng, then at You Miao, You Miao signaled her to feel relieved, and said : "Drink some water first."

Tang took a sip of the goat's milk, and finally calmed down a little from the nervousness.

"Where is Liu Shaling?" You Miao asked.

"After tonight, she won't be able to survive." Tang collected himself and said, "Miaozi, you..." Then he looked at Li Zhifeng.

"His name is Li Zhifeng." You Miao said, "You can trust me, don't be afraid."

Tang immediately grabbed You Miao's hand and said, "Miaozi, you promise me one thing, only you can help us..."

You Miao remembered what Liu Shaling hadn't finished speaking at the dinner today, and immediately said: "I know, I will find a way to get you out, please tell them not to panic."
