The Flourishing Tang Dynasty: Beginning with Marrying Yang Yuhuan

Chapter 207 Fighting
Li Ying recalled the story of Emperor Mu and the Queen Mother of the West that Yang Yuhuan had just told him, and chanted: "The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool opened her brocade window, and the song of the Yellow Bamboo moved the earth with sorrow. The eight steeds travel thirty thousand miles a day, why doesn't Emperor Mu come back again?"

Yang Yuhuan understood the meaning of the poem instantly. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Emperor Mu did not fulfill his promise, so what about us?"

Li Ying lowered his head to glance at Yang Yuhuan, and saw a smile hidden under her beautiful face, her autumn-water eyes filled with deep affection. Against the backdrop of the lake and mountains, Yang Yuhuan looked like an otherworldly fairy.

Li Heng withdrew his attention from the distant Nanzhao and focused entirely on Yang Yuhuan, which made him feel much happier.

Li Ying smiled and said, "If you like, I can come with you anytime."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Yang Yuhuan on the forehead.

Yang Yuhuan's face showed a spring breeze smile, and she said: "Wherever my dear is, the scenery there is the best, and that is where I like it the most."

As she spoke, she lifted her feet out of the clear lake water and took out a handkerchief to wipe them.

Li Heng took Yang Yuhuan's handkerchief, squatted down, and wiped the water droplets on Yang Yuhuan's jade feet.

"How can you let your husband serve me?" Yang Yuhuan was flattered. She glanced at the guards in the distance cautiously and whispered, "If they knew, they would say your husband is henpecked."

"How dare they spread gossip about us?" Li Heng didn't care at all. After wiping the water droplets off Yang Yuhuan's feet, he scratched the soles of her feet.

Yang Yuhuan giggled from the itch and quickly pulled her feet back, saying with a smile, "My dear, you are a famous hero all over the world, how come you like this kind of childish game?"

Li Ying said: "This is not a game for children, this is a hobby between husband and wife."

"Really?" Yang Yuhuan stared at Li Heng and said with a naughty smile, "My dear, do you think my feet are beautiful?"

"nice."

Li Ying nodded, remembering the description in "Fumiko's Feet" that he had read before.

Slender calves, tight ankles, neatly arranged toes...

This description is almost the same as what Yang Yuhuan presented.

Li Heng did not have any special hobbies. He simply felt that every part of Yang Yuhuan's body met his aesthetic standards.

Li Ying added: "There is nothing bad about you."

"My dear, you just love me and my dog." Yang Yuhuan put on her shoes and socks and stood up. "My dear, since you love me, you will naturally think that I am good in every way."

"It's possible." Li Heng did not refute, and remembered that the reconciliation between Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing started with their feet, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing that Li Heng was smiling again, Yang Yuhuan took Li Heng's hand and said with a smile: "My dear, you are smiling."

Li Ying understood Yang Yuhuan's intentions after hearing this, and was quite moved. He touched Yang Yuhuan's head lovingly and said, "Sometimes I feel that you are more insightful than I am."

"That's because I'm not as smart as you." Yang Yuhuan smiled and pointed to Bogda Peak in the southeast. "Let's go over there and take a look. The world is small when you climb a mountain. From there, you can have a panoramic view of the land governed by your husband."

"Okay." Li Ying agreed, and then asked, "But you've been walking for a long time, can you still walk?"

Yang Yuhuan thought about it and tried to say, "If you can't walk, you can carry me on your back. When you are tired, I will carry you on my back."

Li Ying said: "This is not the most labor-saving approach."

"But this can be considered mutual support," Yang Yuhuan replied.

"That's right." Li Heng agreed, lowered his body with his back to Yang Yuhuan, and said, "Come up."

Yang Yuhuan asked: "Now?"

Li Ying asked, "Do we need to choose the right time to support each other?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled knowingly, and happily climbed onto Li Heng's back, lying on his shoulders, and said happily: "The shoulders that can take on all the big and small things in Anxi Beiting are different, broad and strong, and people are very nostalgic." "Now it's useless for you to say nice things." Li Heng said as he walked, "We agreed to support each other, and you have to carry me on your back in a while."

Yang Yuhuan said coquettishly: "But I am a weak woman."

"That's not what you said just now. Don't play tricks on me." Li Heng argued casually.

"How about this." Yang Yuhuan pondered for a moment, "When we reach the top of the mountain, I will dance for you, and then we will be even."

"You are good at negotiation." Li Heng couldn't help but smile, "If our Tang officials had your way of thinking, we wouldn't have messed things up so badly."

"Does my husband agree?" Yang Yuhuan kissed Li Heng on the back of his neck.

"Itchy!" Li Heng shook his neck and said with a smile, "Be careful or I'll drop you."

Yang Yuhuan hugged Li Heng tightly and said, "My dear, this is how you teased me just now."

"How dare you hold a grudge?" Li Ying asked.

Yang Yuhuan chuckled and said, "I have a big chest, but a small heart."

Li Heng said, "If you say that, I'm going to throw you away. There are hungry wolves around here. If I leave you here, it won't be long before the hungry wolves eat you up."

Yang Yuhuan asked, "My dear, are you willing to give it up?"

"You are becoming arrogant because of your favor." Li Heng started to feel hot as he walked and talked with someone on his back.

"Yes." Yang Yuhuan admitted, "Who asked my husband to favor me? I didn't expect that after being married for so long, I would still be favored by my husband."

Li Ying also felt a little emotional. He also didn't expect that he and Yang Yuhuan could be so loving.

Looking back on what happened after coming to the Tang Dynasty, everything seems like a dream, yet it is still vivid in my mind.

Li Heng fell silent, thought for a while, and sighed: "It would be nice if we could live in seclusion here and stay together forever."

"Yes, I hope so too." Yang Yuhuan pressed her face against Li Heng's from behind, "But how can the Tang Dynasty do without you? Not to mention the faraway places, there are many things waiting for you to deal with in Beiting. I am already satisfied to have such a moment of peace with you."

"You are easily content." Li Heng smiled, paused for a moment, and then said, "No, after talking for so long, you just don't want to carry me, right?"

"How could that be?" Yang Yuhuan smiled, "My dear, put me down, and I will carry me on my back right away."

"Okay." Li Heng put Yang Yuhuan down as he was told.

Yang Yuhuan landed, walked up to Li Heng, kissed him on the face, and said, "Wait for my husband to catch his breath."

Li Heng said, "You carry me on your back, and you don't have to wait for me to catch my breath."

"Well... okay." Yang Yuhuan nodded, then suddenly ran away. When she was about ten meters away from Li Heng, she turned back and smiled, "What I meant was that you should wait for my husband to catch up with me after he has taken a breath."

With a distance of ten meters, it would be easy for Li Heng to catch up with Yang Yuhuan, but he rarely saw Yang Yuhuan acting so "shy", so he thought of playing with her.

Then he chased after him slowly.

The two of them played and joked all the way and arrived at Bogda Peak.

After chasing and playing with each other, both of them were a little tired, so they held hands and walked slowly forward on the snow.

In the snow, the footprints of the two people were getting longer and longer.
