Fighter of the Destiny

This is a very disappointing answer.

Just like Tang Sanshiliu said, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong are really two people who make people speechless.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Xu Yourong didn't appear too surprised or angry after hearing Chen Changsheng's answer. Instead, he was very satisfied.

He only remembered coming to Fusui Road after dusk to eat tofu fish. Although the last thing he ate was beef bones, he only remembered what he said in Zhouling, so he divided the gold and silver treasures into two piles and exchanged most of them for the lower reaches of the Red River. Although she had nothing to do with the Xiuling tribe, he only remembered that he had promised her to break off the engagement, so he did not hesitate to ask His Majesty the Pope to forcibly terminate the engagement even if he was criticized by the people of Kyoto. Although this matter seemed stupid now and he was in a hurry. How to get that marriage certificate back...

It's not important if you get some things wrong, and it's even less important if you forget some things, as long as you remember some things.

Because of Chen Changsheng's answer and the fragrant beef bones in the iron pot, Xu Yourong had no regrets about handing out the small note on the Naihe Bridge.

She said softly: "I ate well, thank you."

After saying this, she stood up, put away the grassland, picked up the yellow paper umbrella from the ground, and walked out of the store.

The noisy and lively sounds came over instantly. Chen Changsheng was slightly startled. He watched her lift the curtain and walk out. Suddenly he remembered that he forgot to give her the most important thing. He hurriedly chased after her, and the cold wind blew against his face. Today, there are snowflakes floating on the night street, but where can I see her figure?

He looked at the string of ten beads on his wrist, thinking that he should not forget such an important thing next time.

The voice of the shop owner came from the side: "Guest, there is still half a pot of beef bones left. Are you ready to pack it away or plan to eat it for a while?"

Chen Changsheng turned around and saw that the shop owner looked a little uneasy. After a moment of confusion, he realized that he was worried that he would default on his bill.

The shop owner rubbed his hands and looked at him nervously.

…

…

Carrying the packed cow bones, Chen Changsheng returned to the Chinese Academy of Education.

The winter forest by the lake looked a bit eerie in the night, but fortunately the snow lines on the branches diluted this feeling. A low, thunderous sound could be heard faintly from the depths of the forest, and occasionally there would be a few extremely thin, bright lines like lightning floating out, which was when Xuanyuan Po was practicing.

Su Moyu was in the library giving guidance to the new students. Zhexiu, who was gradually recovering from his injuries, was strengthening his spirit and will under some snowdrift. Only Tang Sanliu did not go anywhere, nor did he rest in his own house. room, but waiting for him in Chen Changsheng's room.

It's not just because he is very curious about Chen Changsheng's whereabouts, nor is it because he is really interested in exploring other people's secrets to the point where both humans and gods are angry, but because the thing he is holding in his hand must be handed over to Chen Changsheng himself. Only in the hands of Changsheng can he rest assured.

Even if he is the richest man in the world, he can't afford to lose something like that.

Because it is a divine staff that represents the authority of the state religion, and you cannot buy it no matter how rich you are.

Tang Sanliu has been sitting in the room for a long time, thinking about the embarrassing scene in the palace and those eyes that looked like real swords. Until now, he felt a little sore in his back, and thought about Chen Changsheng. I don't know where to be happy at this time, and my mood is getting worse and worse.

So when Chen Changsheng returned to the room, of course he saw an ugly face.

For some reason, maybe because he was hiding the truth, Chen Changsheng felt a little uneasy looking at his face. He put the food box on the table and pretended not to see him sitting on his bed, pretending that he didn't have any mysophobia. He said very carefully: "The beef bones on Fusui Road taste very good."

"His Majesty the Pope's staff tastes even better."

No matter how ugly Tang Sanliu's face was, there was no trace of it, but the anger represented by the deliberate indifference could easily be seen.

Chen Changsheng took the magic staff and was very surprised. Although Tang Sanshiliu had predicted this incident beforehand and reminded him, he still didn't expect it.

Tang Sanliu looked at him and said coldly: "Aren't you going to explain it?"

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "I just made an appointment to have a meal with someone, nothing serious."

"But it's still something that can't be said?"

"Um."

"Then who are you going to have dinner with?"

"I can't say..."

Chen Changsheng was a little nervous, thinking about sitting across from Xu Yourong drinking before, but the corners of his lips could not help but raise slightly.

Looking at this scene, Tang Sanliu took a breath and said, "Woman?"

Chen Changsheng was surprised and asked, "How did you tell?"

Tang Thirty-Six sneered and said, "Look at your spring breeze and Qi Qing expression. Only Xuanyuan Po can't see it."

Chen Changsheng was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to answer the question.

"Three days, three days at the latest." Tang Sanliu looked at him and gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely be able to find out what happened to you. I have just met Xu Yourong, but he was not fascinated by it. Instead, he went to be with another girl. When we meet, I'm really curious about how good that girl is."

Chen Changsheng was a little confused and slightly dissatisfied, so he asked, "Why can't I just go and meet Xu Yourong?"

Tang Sanliu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Will Xu Yourong meet you in private? You might as well tell me that you are Su Li's illegitimate son."

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't Zhexiu want to call me uncle?"

Tang Sanliu laughed when he heard this, then thought of something, and his smile suddenly faded.

He looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "You actually learned to tell jokes, and they're really funny... You're really screwed."

Chen Changsheng was puzzled and asked: "What?"

Tang Sanshiliu looked at him sympathetically and said, "It seems that you really like that girl, otherwise your temperament would not have changed drastically. What will you do in the future?"

…

…

Chen Changsheng lay on the bed, tossing and turning, until late at night, still unable to fall asleep.

After he was ten years old, except for the time when he first entered Kyoto to use starlight to cleanse his marrow, but could not succeed, this was the first time he had insomnia.

Tang Sanliu's last words seemed to tear open the window paper, letting starlight fall on the snowy field inside his body, illuminating all his thoughts clearly.

In the six months since he left Zhou Garden, he often thought of her, whether it was on the big banyan tree by the lake or among the boulders of Zhou Tomb, but what he didn't understand was - that kind of missing was a longing for missing, and until today, he still thinks of her. When the white gauze fell from Naihe Bridge, I saw her eyes, especially when she was wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket in the tavern, sipping shochu and gnawing bones. It was different from Zhou Yuanli, and different from what people said in legend. Different, but extremely real, so real and beautiful, it makes people want to get close to it.

Then this longing came to fruition and gained real weight.

Real and weighty longing is called lovesickness. Once lovesick, it is difficult to fall asleep.

Chen Changsheng was a man who was slow in speech but quick in action. He couldn't sleep anyway, so since he wanted to see her, he went to see her.

Xu Yourong told him not to let anyone know about their past acquaintance, so he had no way to see her through normal channels, so he could only go to see her secretly.

He got up, put on his clothes, floated out of the window, crossed the winter forest, took out the key, opened the excellent secret door covered by ivy on the palace wall, and walked in.

He pushed the heavy door open a crack and looked at the deep palace under the night. He was so nervous that the whistle he blew was a little hoarse.

He is a young man who lives a very regular life and rarely does this kind of thing. Although he has secretly entered the palace several times, the situation now is a little different from before. Last night, His Majesty the Pope officially announced to the entire continent that he is the state religion. Heir to the throne, but now he breaks into the palace at night. If someone discovers him, something big will happen.

The wind and snow were blowing slowly, and the red walls and yellow eaves in the palace were painted white.

The Holy Queen glanced at the snowflakes outside the window, with a slightly mocking smile on her lips, and said, "Do you know when people are the most courageous?"

The north-south confluence was approaching, and various matters suddenly increased. Mo Yu was still accompanying his empress to deal with affairs until late at night. He was already a little tired. Suddenly, he heard this question. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said softly: " Facing the hour of death?”

"It's not wrong, but there is another situation... because of love."

The Holy Queen looked at the Night Palace outside the window and said, "In other words, she is so bold."

Snow was dancing all over the sky and lights were flowing. It was like daytime in the palace, not like late at night, so black things were somewhat conspicuous.

When Chen Changsheng saw the black sheep slowly walking across the snow-covered square, he felt very grateful.

He told the black sheep why he came.

Black Sheep glanced at him twice, turned around and walked somewhere. After an unknown amount of time, he raised his horn at a certain palace in front of him, then turned around and disappeared into the snowy night.

The palace is in an excellent location, not very remote, but very quiet. In addition, in the depth of winter, there are many green trees around the palace, which is very unusual.

She lives here? It seems that the rumors are true. The Holy Queen dotes on her very much, even more than Princess Pingguo.

So if the state religion and the imperial court split in the future, and the Pope's uncle and the Holy Empress fight, she will definitely want to help the empress. What should I do? Suddenly, he remembered what she said in the tavern and realized that this was indeed a problem. He could forget it for a while, but he couldn't think about it all the time.

It was a bit cold in the wind and snow in front of the palace. His face was a little warm at first, and then gradually cooled down. It was not that he was cold, but that he needed to calm down.

He came to see her, but he didn't move for a long time. He had no intention of sneaking into the palace and just stood there.

I don't know how long it took, but a voice came into his ears. It was her voice.

"What...are you doing standing here?"

He looked towards where the sound came from and saw that a window on the east side of the palace was still open. When he walked over, he saw her silhouette reflected in the light.

She was sitting at the table by the window, holding a volume in her hand.

It was late at night, but she still hadn't fallen asleep. She didn't know why, and she didn't know if it was the same reason that he couldn't fall asleep.

"I...want to come and meet you." He said to her through the window.

Xu Yourong whispered from the window, "Didn't we just meet?"

Chen Changsheng hesitated for a while and said, "But... I can't sleep."

Xu Yourong turned and looked out the window, feeling a little uneasy and wondering what had happened to prevent a person like him from sleeping?

You must know that in Zhou Garden, even if there were countless terrifying beasts lurking in the surrounding grass sea, he could fall asleep peacefully.

"What happened?"

"It's okay... I just can't sleep thinking about you."

(Tonight, Xu Yourong’s name is An Hong.)
