Glory all the way

Chapter 1 The Past
It is the season of early spring, in the blue sky, a few cotton-like soft white clouds are swaying among them, looking at it quietly, after a while, it will make people feel far away.

In the distance, peaches and plums are fragrant, young birds in the forest are singing, and the village is peaceful. Occasionally, one or two cocks and dogs can be heard, but it is more and more peaceful.

At the end of the village, there is a small room with neat rows of desks. At a glance, it can be seen that this is a school, and the cheerful children in the distance are chatting lively about Mr. Fang Cai The verses taught.

In the air, there was a bit of peace and tranquility, but in the courtyard of the school, there was a cold and dead silence.

"Mr. Du, the princess favored me, but what about the blessings you cultivated in your previous life? Why do you keep rejecting it again and again? If the princess is annoyed, let alone you, Mr. Du, it is your delicate lady. As well as her parents, brothers and sisters, I'm afraid they won't get well."

A man in black persuaded softly, but there was a bit of sternness in the words.

In the middle of the courtyard stood a man, about 20 years old, his hair was tied up in a Ge scarf, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he was wearing a coarse cloth gown, the elegance overflowing from his body made people move away just by looking at it. Keep your eyes open.

"You guys are too deceitful..."

Du Xuan shouted sharply.

"Young Master Du, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, why do you bother to live with the monstrous wealth? You know, this is something no one else can ask for..."

The man in black laughed.

Seeing that the man was silent, thinking that he had hit his mind, the man in black continued to persuade: "There are seven husbands around the princess, and the one who is most favored by the princess is the third son who died of illness a few days ago, Mr. Du. I am so lucky, I have some resemblance to the third young master, that day, the princess lit the ever-burning lantern for the third young master from the temple on the mountain, and when I went down the mountain, I met Mr. Du, isn't this the luck of Mr. Du?"

Thick eyebrows frowned slightly, Du Xuan's face showed a bit of impatience, and the man in black still said seriously, "It is the time when the princess is sad and misses the third son the most, if Mr. Du can win the favor of the princess, From now on, in the princess mansion, Mr. Du will be under one person and above everyone? Even the other husbands, it still depends on Mr. Du's face. Mr. Du, this monstrous wealth, the little one is right, right? "

Just as Du Xuan was about to refute, a pink gauze sedan chair was brought up outside the fence gate of the school.

The soft sedan was carried straight into the courtyard of the church and landed in front of the man.

The sedan chair curtain was lifted, revealing the woman's stunning face. Immediately, led by the man in black, all the guards in black in the courtyard knelt down and worshiped: "I have seen the princess, Princess Wanan."

With a hint of obsession and remembrance in her eyes, the princess in the soft sedan stared blankly at the man and said, "Du Xuan, this princess has taken a fancy to you and sent people to persuade you over and over again, but you are still indifferent. This princess's patience is limited."

"Du Xuan is not talented. I ask myself that I am not lucky enough to be with the princess. What's more, Du Xuan has a wife in his family. Du Xuan loves and respects her. I hope the princess will show her respect and let Du Xuan go."

Lifting up his robe and kneeling on the ground, Du Xuan repeatedly kowtowed and begged. There was a deep affection for his wife in his eyebrows. Who knows, this kind of him made the princess more and more determined to win.

Which of the husbands around me didn't take care of me in every possible way, how could Du Xuan be so ignorant of flattery?But being born with his appearance made him extremely happy and loving.

Annoyed in her heart, the princess said coldly: "Three days, Du Xuan, this princess will give you three days to divorce your wife and family. At that time, this princess will welcome you into the princess mansion with eight sedan chairs. If not Not to mention your wife, even those who are related to her, this princess will never let it go. If you can't get it, this princess will destroy it with your own hands, Du Xuan, do you believe it?"

Seeing Du Xuan kneeling straight, but lowering his head and not looking at himself, the princess seemed to be full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so she slammed down the car curtain.

The soft sedan was lifted again, and a group of people followed the soft sedan out of the courtyard gate. In just a moment, the courtyard of the school regained its tranquility.

Curls of cooking smoke ignited all around, and the aroma of food wafted in the air. The atmosphere around him was indescribably warm, but Du Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, felt cold all over his body.

Walking heavily towards the courtyard of his home, Du Xuan only felt that this path was never so long.

Pushing open the courtyard door, hearing footsteps, a pretty woman in calico clothes ran out of the small kitchen, "Xuan Lang, are you back?"

The woman is Du Xuan's wife, Luo Niang, who is twenty-eight years old and has picturesque features. Standing with Du Xuan, they are like a couple.

Embarrassed, Luo Niang ran over and dragged Du Xuan's sleeve into the room.

Standing in front of Du Xuan, Luo Niang only felt her cheeks were burning hot, so she didn't know how to speak, and she didn't notice that her husband and son-in-law, who used to have a warm smile on his face, now looked livid, and his eyes were a little bit depressed.

"Xuan Lang, you...you are going to be a father."

Luo Niang said shyly, and twisted her hands together awkwardly, showing the joy and tension in her heart.

"What... Luo Niang, what did you say?"

With a huge shock in his heart, Du Xuan's face changed from worry to joy, and then there was a heavy worry look.

"Xuan Lang, you... aren't you happy?"

Noticing the look on her husband's face, Luo Niang paused in her heart, and asked a little nervously.

Holding up his smile, Du Xuan smiled and said, "How come? I'm so happy, I... Luo Niang, you have a good rest, I'll tell my father, mother, elder sister and brother-in-law the news, and then Go to the street market to buy some supplements, I have to nourish your body..."

After finishing speaking, Du Xuan turned around and left the yard. Behind him was Luo Niang with a shy and happy face.

It was late at night, and Luo Niang slept soundly in Du Xuan's arms.

Fingers slid across Luo Niang's eyebrows and lips, Du Xuan's eyes were full of reluctance, but his face was full of struggles that he had never seen before.

At dawn, Du Xuan's eyes were already firm.

Others said that the husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and they would fly separately in the face of adversity, but in this life, whether they live or die, he and Luo Niang will always be together.

Looking at Luo Niang rubbing sleepy eyes with a charming face, Du Xuan leaned over and kissed her lips, and said softly: "Luo Niang, today, let me take you to the suburbs to enjoy the peach blossoms, how about it?"

Nodding her head hastily, Luo Niang's eyes were full of joy.

After returning from Taolin, Luo Niang's eyes were red and swollen, thinking of what Du Xuan said to her just now, Luo Niang felt heartbroken, but her husband's affection for her made her more determined not to let her down.

"Mother Luo..."

His throat was a little choked, and Du Xuan looked at Luo Niang with a hoarse voice and said in a low voice: "She...we are weak and we can't afford to provoke her, but we can't let our parents and others be wronged because of her, so, Only by acting like this can the damage be minimized, Luo Niang, I..."

"Xuan Lang..."

Knowing that Du Xuan was full of self-blame and guilt, Luo Niang interrupted his words, "Xuan Lang, I know, I know, I believe you. No matter what happens, I...I will wait for you."

The courtyard door was open, presumably the parents and elder sister came, and their voices could be heard vaguely, Luo Niang wiped the tears on her face while tugging on Du Xuan's sleeve and said: "Xuan Lang, tomorrow will , you wrote the letter of divorce, I will pack up my things and go back to my mother's house. At that time, I will say that I dreamed of my grandmother and wanted to go to her grave, and take my parents to Luozhou as soon as possible. It's already gone. Xuanlang, you must take care, remember to come to Luozhou to find me..."

As she spoke, two more lines of tears rolled down Luo Niang's face.

At dawn the next day, loud quarrels came from the end of the village. After a while, Luo Niang, who used to be quiet and silent, ran out of the door crying with her bundle in her arms, and ran towards the elder sister's house in the neighboring village. Du Xuan with an angry face.

A divorce letter fell messily on the ground in the courtyard. A gust of wind blew by, and the snow-white pieces of paper fluttered on the black ground, making it even more shocking.

Among the gathered crowd, there was a group of men in black who tried to persuade Du Xuan that day.

When the crowd dispersed, Du Xuan looked at the man in black who was walking towards him and said coldly: "Du has written the divorce letter. From now on, they...have nothing to do with Du. Du is willing to go back with you."

After finishing speaking in a low voice, Du Xuan turned his head sideways to look at the sky where a faint red morning glow was revealed, and there was endless loneliness in his words.

"The princess is waiting for you in the mansion, Mr. Du, let's go on our way now, please..."

Seeing that Du Xuan had figured it out, the man in black had a flattering smile on his face, went out to the side of the carriage and opened the sedan chair curtain, turned his head and said to Du Xuan.

The carriage turned around and galloped towards the capital. In the carriage, Du Xuan looked at the village that was getting farther and farther away from him from under the curtain blown by the wind, his eyes full of nostalgia.

It will take one day and one night to go from the village to the princess' mansion in the capital. Du Xuan has a relieved smile on his face: "Luo Niang, wait for me. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely rush to your side before the child is born."

At noon, everyone was resting in the nearby inn. Just as Du Xuan sat down, the man in black came over with a happy face and said, "No wonder Mr. Du is blessed. Ten miles ahead, the princess is already waiting. Carrying the big sedan chair will definitely let Mr. Du enter the mansion in a good manner, and the younger one will here first wish Mr. Du a bright future."

After all, the man in black fell to the ground and gave Du Xuan a big gift.

After taking a nap, he was about to get up, but Du Xuan had something on his mind, so he couldn't sleep. After drinking a few cups of tea, he felt a dull pain in his stomach, so he went downstairs to the hut.

When I went downstairs, I saw two coachmen who were driving at noon sitting on the threshold of the backyard chatting, faintly, and heard his name being mentioned, Du Xuan paused and hid behind the door.

"I heard that the princess came to welcome Mr. Du. This Mr. Du is really lucky. This can be regarded as a step up to the sky. From now on, you will be rich and rich, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth."

One of the coachmen poured a few sips of tea and said enviously.

"Butler Xiang hurried away with a few guards, but went to meet the princess?"

Another person asked curiously.

"Shh..."

Whispering to the people next to him to keep quiet, the coachman looked around for a few moments, then whispered to him, "Steward Xiang has always been cautious, but now that the princess is very happy with Mr. Du, how can he leave trouble behind? Although Mr. Du I have already divorced my wife, but who can guarantee that he will forget it in his heart? Steward Xiang was ordered to go back..."

The coachman hadn't finished speaking, but Du Xuan, who was hiding at the door, saw his movements of raising and lowering his hands clearly, and suddenly, Du Xuan's heart went cold.

Not caring much, Du Xuan ran out of the gate, walked to the horse tied to the gate without hesitation, took off the rein, got on the horse, and galloped towards the eldest sister's house in the neighboring village.

It was noon, and there was silence in the village, but this silence made Du Xuan even more flustered.

The courtyard door was closed tightly, as if the master was taking a nap, Du Xuan ran quickly, pushed lightly, and the door creaked, and then opened, the scene in front of him immediately filled Du Xuan's eyes with blood.

Luoniang's parents and eldest brother-in-law, with cloth strips tied around their mouths, were all lying in a pool of blood. Behind them was a mess of boxes and baggage. Presumably, they were packing up and going to move.

As for Luo Niang, her hands were tied behind her back, and in front of her was a guard holding a long knife.

"Mother Luo..."

Staring at the relatives lying in the pool of blood with distracted eyes, Luo Niang only felt her mind go blank, and heard a familiar voice coming from her ear, Luo Niang raised her eyes to look, and saw the person running from outside the door. Du Xuan.

"Xuan Lang, Xuan Lang..."

Calling with sobs, Luo Niang crawled forward, wanting to snuggle into Du Xuan's arms.

"Kill her..."

The scene in front of her was seen by the galloping princess, who only felt a little shocking and intrusive. She glanced at the guards around her, and the princess ordered in a deep voice.

Bow up, arrow down.

Before he realized what happened, he saw Du Xuan throwing himself on top of him with a panicked expression. The next moment, the expression on Du Xuan's face froze as if it froze.

Numbly looking up, Luo Niang suddenly felt that the blue sky seemed to fade instantly, making her eyes darken, and she was about to pass out.

"Xuan Lang, Xuan Lang..."

Crying, Luo Niang hugged Du Xuan who was lying on her body, looking at the dangling arrow stuck in his back, she felt a pain like a tear in her heart.

"Father, mother, eldest sister, Xuan Lang..."

Big and big tears slid straight down from the side of the cheeks, with a touch of pinkness, seeing the blood overflowing from the mouth, but struggling to protect her husband and son-in-law, Luo Niang said softly : "Xuan Lang, how can you leave Luo Niang alone..."

"Luo Niang, come... in the next life, we will still be husband and wife..."

Du Xuan gasped and said, the struggle on his face showed the pain in his body.

"Xuan Lang, Xuan Lang..."

Seeing that Du Xuan's eyes were dim, and he was almost unconscious, Luo Niang called out softly, while hugging Du Xuan tightly, with both hands, she found the long arrow body.

With a muffled sound, the feather arrow passed through Du Xuan's body and sank into Luo Niang's chest.

A bright smile slowly bloomed on Luo Niang's lips.

The wind blows, the clouds move, and the air around my ears seems to be stagnant, and everything is quiet.

The scene in front of him was unspeakably tragic, and the two people who were pierced by an arrow made people feel cold all over their bodies just by looking at them.

Panting with difficulty, Luo Niang turned her head with some difficulty, and looked at those people who were stunned in the courtyard and outside the door with terrified faces, with endless mad hatred in their eyes.

"Heaven above, Luo Niang swears with blood as a curse. Even if she turns into a ghost, she will never let you go. You will have retribution..."
