Just at this time, Gu Fengqing and Qing Mo came back from the barracks and saw Yun Miaomiao standing at the door, looking at something.
"Why did you come out?"
Gu Fengqing asked softly, and then took her hand.
Seeing that he was back, Yun Miaomiao immediately told him about Ying Feichen, "He shouldn't have gone far yet. Do you want to send someone to follow him?"
Gu Fengqing frowned, "With what you gave Ying Feichen, nothing should happen to him. Bei Lie is more familiar with him than me. If there is any accident, it will be easier for him to escape alone. I have also sent someone to go there."
We have inquired about Monan City and found out that their military rations are not as sufficient as we thought, and it will not be beneficial for them to continue to attack the city, so we can start with growing food as you mentioned."
"Since you said it's okay, it should be okay. I hope he can save people and come back safely." Yun Miaomiao nodded.
Hundreds of miles away, Gui Kuipei.
Suddenly a thunder struck from the sky, and Yan Xi sat up from the recliner.
"It's my brother who has left seclusion." Yan Xi's face was full of smiles.
The maid glanced at the dark sky outside, but the sun's rays were particularly dazzling, "City Lord, the young master has left seclusion, should we go and pick him up?"
"Of course!" Yan Xi walked down from the recliner and checked to see if he was dressed properly. "Ask someone to prepare the food. I will pick up my brother right away."
In the inner city of Guikuipi, deep inside the city lord's palace, inside the closed gate of the forbidden area, in a dark environment, a man sat cross-legged on a boulder, his stern face pale and without a trace of blood.
Suddenly, the man on the boulder opened his eyes and stared directly at the silver moon above his head. Although it was daytime, he could see the moon. The mysterious atmosphere seemed particularly unusual in the closed space.
"Brother~" Yan Xi rushed in from outside and saw Yan Cang staring at the moon, his face full of joy, "You're awake."
Yan Cang withdrew his gaze and fell on Yan Xi, "Sister."
Yan Xi cried with joy. Yan Cang had been sitting here for three years and finally woke up.
She walked over quickly and fell directly into Yan Cang's arms, "Brother, you are finally back. I thought you would never come back again."
Yan Cang patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Didn't my brother say that he would come back? How have you been in the past three years?"
Yan Xi nodded, "Okay, I'm fine, and so is Gui Weipi."
Yan Cang looked at his sister with satisfaction. In three years, she had grown into a big girl.
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and when he met Yan Xi's eyes, his face suddenly froze, "Have you seen her?"
Yan Xi looked at him confused, "What?"
She didn't understand what Yancang meant. She, who was she?
"Sister, have you seen her? Tell me." Yan Cang suddenly became excited and grabbed her arms with both hands, "Where is she now?"
Yan Xi's mind went blank for a moment, and a terrible thought emerged from the bottom of his heart.
"She!" Yan Xi thought for a moment. There was only one person she had actively met, and it could be regarded as the only one in three years. "She is gone."
Three years ago, Yan Cang suddenly handed over Gui Kuipei to his own sister Yan Xi for some reason, and began to live in seclusion alone.
The reason, only Yan Xi, as the younger sister, knew that it was because of a woman.
Yan Xi's face turned pale. Her brother had said that she should pay attention to everyone entering Guikui Pi, especially women. Therefore, she has strictly controlled the people entering and leaving Guikui Pi over the years, carefully checking everyone's identity and purpose.
But he forgot about that woman.
"Brother, I know where she is. I'll ask someone to bring her." After Yan Xi finished speaking, he left the forbidden area directly. Yan Cang didn't even have time to say anything to stop him, and could only watch her leave.
Yan Cang sighed silently. Three years ago, he had just come of age. The Yan family has always had a rule that when a man reaches adulthood, he needs to personally divine the whereabouts of his future wife. He did not expect that his future wife would already be dead.
, in desperation, he had to use the secret skills of the Yan family to save the man, but he had no strength to figure out where the man was, so he hurriedly retreated.
Before he woke up, he clearly felt that the person was very close to him. Only then did he break through and wake up at the critical moment. Unexpectedly, the person had already left.
Yancang looked at the moon, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.
Yun Miaomiao had not gone out for several days in order to try out the farm machine. Now that the trial was finally successful, Gu Fengqing also went to the barracks to train, so she left the house and went for a walk on the street.
It had been a long time since she came to Mobeicheng, and this was the first time she walked on the street to see it.
When Yan Xi came, Yun Miaomiao's face was full of astonishment, "You, why are you here?"
Yan Xi's face looked a little tired, but when he saw Yun Miaomiao, he was obviously more smiling, "Sister, it turns out you are here."
Yun Miaomiao remembered that Gu Fengqing had already closed the gate of Mobei City, so how did Yan Xi get in.
She took a step back warily. Unexpectedly, Yan Xi stepped forward and grabbed her hand first, "Sister, I came here specifically to find you~"
A touch of fragrance hit her face, and Yun Miaomiao fainted before she could speak.
When she woke up again, she was already lying in a strange environment.
She looked at her surroundings, sat up straight, and heard a man's voice in her ears.
"you're awake."
Yun Miaomiao immediately sat up straight, turned around and looked over, and saw a man sitting at a table not far away. He was wearing a Paris green quilt robe, and a green grass fairy pattern belt tied around his waist.
Her hair was spread out on both sides, and her melancholy eyes were looking at herself, as if she were looking at a heartless person she hadn't seen for a long time.
Yun Miaomiao had cold sweat on her forehead. Before she lost consciousness, her memory stayed at the moment when Yan Xi held her hand and smiled.
She looked around carefully and realized that this man's features were somewhat similar to Yan Xi's.
Gu Fengqing once told himself that Yan Xi had an older brother who was in retreat. Could it be that he was the man in front of him?
"Are you Yancang?" Yun Miaomiao said firmly.
Yan Cang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems you know me."
He poured a glass of water and handed it to Yun Miaomiao. Yun Miaomiao glanced at the cup in his hand. She happened to be thirsty herself, so she took it and took a few sips.
"What did you want to do by bringing me here?" Yun Miaomiao asked.
Just as Yan Cang was about to speak, Yan Xi walked in from outside and said, "Hey, sister, you're awake."
Yun Miaomiao looked a little uncomfortable when she saw that it was her who came in. Yan Xi also felt it clearly and immediately put on a look of grievance.
"Sister, I didn't mean it." Yan Xi sat next to her and held her hand, "I also have my own reasons. Although it's good for you to be in Mobei, I want you to see my brother. He...
"
"Yan Xi." Yan Cang interrupted her and glanced at Yun Miaomiao, "Yan Xi was also doing it for me. I apologize to you for this, but if you want to go back, I can send someone to take you back.
This time Yan Xi was impulsive, there won’t be another time, don’t worry.”
"City Lord, it's not good, it's not good." The maid rushed in from the outside, "A large number of people came outside. Ask the City Lord to let his people go."
Yan Xi's face turned pale and he looked at Yan Cang in panic, "Brother, this is Gu Fengqing."
She knew that she had not concealed her whereabouts when entering Mobei City, and Gu Fengqing must have known that she had kidnapped Yun Miaomiao.
Yan Cang lowered his head and glanced at Yun Miaomiao with a bit of reluctance, "Yan Xi, send the person back and give the other half of the food to Gu Fengqing as an apology gift. Go quickly."
"But, brother, you~" Yan Xi opened his mouth, then lowered his head, "I understand."
Yun Miaomiao frowned and glanced at Yan Cang and Yan Xi. Why are these two siblings so weird? Yan Xi spent so much effort to bring him here. Is it really just to let Yan Cang see him?
Also, this Yancang should be in retreat. The first thing he does after coming out of retreat is to see himself?
Is there something here that I don’t know about?
Gu Fengqing said, Yan Cang has been in seclusion for three years, three years!
Yun Miaomiao suddenly had an idea and looked at Yan Cang, "You, why did I do it three years ago because of you?"
If I happened to wake up three years ago, then Yancang happened to be in seclusion three years ago. Is this a coincidence?
No, probably not.
When Yan Cang saw her like this, he knew that she had already made a guess.
He shook his head and said, "Miss Yun, the things are ready. Please take them back."
After saying that, Yan Cang turned his back. If he had known that Yun Miaomiao was not married, he would have stayed with her no matter what.
But he was already a step too late. The person Yun Miaomiao was destined to be was not him.
Yun Miaomiao did not move, sitting motionless on the spot, "Yan Cang, three years ago, the reason why I was alive was because of you?"
Yan Cang froze and did not utter a word to retort or respond.
Yun Miaomiao already knew something in her heart, "Thank you very much. No matter why you did this in the first place, you still saved me once. This thank you is what I should say. If you have any requests in the future, you can ask for it."
, as long as it doesn’t violate the principle, I can promise you anything.”
Yan Cang's originally depressed eyes were a little brighter, but in the end he didn't mention anything, but said lightly, "Let's go."
Yun Miaomiao got up and walked out. There was already a maid waiting outside, ready to send her out.
After walking a few steps, Yun Miaomiao turned back and said, "Yancang, do you really want to let me go?"
Yan Cang nodded, "Yeah."
Yun Miaomiao took a deep breath, stepped out of the room door, and left without hesitation.
When Gu Fengqing saw the person, he immediately took him into his arms and asked, "Are you okay?"
Yun Miaomiao shook her head, "I'm fine. Yan Xi just invited me over to ask how to cook. You're so aggressive, but it scares people."
Gu Fengqing glanced at Yan Xi who was standing on the city wall, his eyes darkened, "Let's go back."
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "It's worth my trip. We will have enough military rations from now on, and with the farming machines here, we can start growing food slowly."
Gu Fengqing hummed, pulled her directly onto the horse, and welcomed her all the way back to Mobei City.
After the person left, Yan Cang walked out from behind Yan Xi. Yan Xi looked at his brother with red eyes, "Brother, if you let her go like this, what are you going to do in the future?"
Yan Cang's fair face felt a little helpless, "What can I do? Just stay the same. Yan Xi, don't cry. It's very ugly. Didn't my brother come here like this before?"
"But, brother, you will die without your sister~" Yan Xi cried a little, her eyes full of heartache.
Yan Cang rubbed her head, "Our family Yan Xi has grown up, and Gui Kui Slope has been taken care of in an orderly manner by you. My brother is very pleased. The Yan family will be handed over to you from now on. You must find someone you like, and take good care of her."
I'm getting married and having children. My brother is tired and wants to go out and see the outside world. Can Yan Xi do it alone?"
Yan Xi sobbed and nodded, "Brother, you, do you want to leave?"
Yan Cang has stayed in Guikai Slope all his life. Now when he looks back at the place under his feet, he feels like a cage, locking him in this place, like a canary that has been trapped forever.
"Well, my brother wants to see the vast sky, what the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are like, and what the boundless sea is like. If he has time, he will come back to see our Yan Xi. Yan Xi wants to
Wait for brother to come back." Yan Cang looked at her tenderly.
Yan Xi's eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded sharply, "Okay, Yan Xi will definitely wait for my brother. I'm not used to the outside world, so I don't want my sister anymore."
"Of course, brother will definitely come back." Yan Cang said with a smile on his pale face.
Yan Xi held back her tears and finally followed Yan Cang's choice and watched him leave the place where Yan Cang had lived for more than ten years.
The moment Yan Cang left Guikai Slope, Yan Xi seemed to feel that the huge city suddenly became quiet and there was no life at all.
After Yun Miaomiao came back with Gu Fengqing, she always felt that Yan Cang was hiding something from her.
Seeing that she looked like she had something on her mind, Gu Fengqing couldn't help but ask, "Something on her mind?"
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "I met Yan Xi's brother, Yan Cang. Yan Xi took me back to Guikai Slope just to let Yan Cang see me, but he didn't say anything and just let me go.
,Isn’t this strange?”
Gu Fengqing's deep eyes suddenly raised and stared at Yun Miaomiao.
Yun Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"The Yan clan has been so mysterious that people dare not explore it easily since its existence. No one knows what is behind it, but many people can't help their curiosity and explore to find out, but in the end they all return without success.
Until the former emperor mistakenly entered Guikaipo, his life was hanging by a thread, but he returned to the capital intact and lived a hundred years to the end of his life. From then on, the Yan family of Guikaipo was in everyone's mind.
It left a deep imprint in my heart, no one goes back to offend the Yan family, and no one dares to offend Gui Weipo."
Yun Miaomiao covered her mouth, "You mean, the Yan family has the ability to bring the dead back to life?"
Gu Fengqing pursed her lips, "If the rumors are true, then you are the one chosen by the Yan family."
"But what does this have to do with Yan Cang? Is it possible that there is something he wants in me?"
Gu Fengqing's face was gloomy, "It is rumored that after the previous emperor left, the only woman in the Yan family at that time gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl."
"You, what you mean is that Yan did not choose the person who came back to life, but chose the other half for himself? What will be the consequences if he does not get married and have children with the chosen person?"
The wife Yan Cang chose was himself, but she was now Gu Fengqing's, so after Yan Cang found out, he only met him briefly. What would happen to Yan Cang?
Gu Fengqing shook his head, he didn't know what would happen.
But the only thing he can be sure of is that Yancang cannot take Yun Miaomiao's own.
Yun Miaomiao suddenly understood why when he woke up, Yancang was surprised and happy, but when he heard Gu Fengqing, his whole person seemed to be deflated and lifeless.
"Gu Fengqing, I, three years ago I went hunting in the mountains and was targeted by people from the same village. At that time, I thought it was God's blessing that I did not die. It turned out that Yan Cang saved me from behind. If Yan Cang saved me because of this,
The warehouse is dead, what should I do?"
Gu Fengqing knew what Yun Miaomiao was worried about, "There will definitely be a way. Let's go back to Guikai Slope. Let's go."
Yun Miaomiao was afraid that she was the one who should die. If she took another person's life because of this, she would never live with peace of mind for the rest of her life.
Gu Fengqing also understood this truth, so he drove directly towards Guikai Slope without much thought.
Yan Xi was a little surprised when he heard that Yun Miaomiao was back, but he still invited the people in.
Yun Miaomiao walked quickly to Yan Xi, "Yan Xi, tell me, your brother saved me. If I don't become husband and wife with him, will he die?"
Yan Xi was stunned, and it took him a long time to find his voice, "You, how did you know?"
Sure enough, Yun Miaomiao weakly let go of Yan Xi, "That's true."
Originally she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but when she was reborn, she thought it was God's blessing, but she didn't expect that it was someone else's life in exchange for it.
Yan Xi glanced at Yun Miaomiao and then at Gu Fengqing, "You are already married. My brother will not disturb you. Back then, he used forbidden magic to gain a glimpse of the secrets of the sky, so he had three years of seclusion. Now he
He also has to make a living and has already traveled around the world. Sister, don’t be too sad. Even without you, my brother’s fate will be the same. We, the Yan family’s children, will not live to be twenty-five. My mother used the ban at the beginning.
It’s because of the art that we came into existence. My brother just didn’t want me to be like my mother, so he wanted to take on this responsibility himself. Now that my brother has gone to travel, the matter of continuing the family line has fallen back to me. I will be an adult in one month.
Yes, I will be able to find my right husband next month, so you don’t have to blame yourself."
She knew why Yun Miaomiao came here in such a hurry, but it was not Yun Miaomiao's fault. They did something wrong and snooped into the secret at will.
