"Family..." Gu Liyou murmured, his eyebrows were tender, and the glimmer of light in his eyes was like the spring breeze blowing through the deep pool and causing sparkling waves.
"Ah Li, I..."
Fireworks filled the sky and swallowed up his voice.
This time, Ye Sili was not attracted by the fireworks in the sky, and her clear and firm eyes never moved half an inch from him.
"Ayou, I like you."
Ayou, I like you...
I like you……
like you……
Her words lingered in my ears.
Suddenly the world was quiet, there were no noisy streets, no disturbance from others, only a waning moon, fireworks all over the sky and thousands of lights from thousands of miles away.
Ye Sili's fair and tender face quickly became flushed, but her eyes were firm, looking at him with full expectation, waiting for him.
If she didn't understand her feelings for him before, but now after passing through Liangcheng, she clearly knew that the reason why she was able to go to Liangcheng without fear was just because Ayou was there.
She and Xiao Ling helped Cai Cai make plans and saw with her own eyes that Cai Cai's sincerity had not received any response. She could feel Cai Cai's cautiousness and sadness, because she was also full of emotions when Ayou left some time ago.
Looking forward to it, thinking about it, thinking about it, thinking about it, the feeling is as uncomfortable as a hundred claws scratching the heart.
Especially when Ziyu confided his feelings to her, she didn't feel like the little deer bumping into each other as described by Caicai and Xiaoling, but she was struggling with how to politely refuse.
On the night of protecting the moon river, when she saw Ayou appearing by the river, for a moment, she felt like the deer was bumping into each other, and the sky and the earth were eclipsed.
Just like this time.
Gu Liyou looked at the person in front of him in surprise. Her cheeks were flushed, and she boldly and passionately expressed her feelings to him, which he never expected.
After being together for many years, he could feel that she treated him differently from others, but he did not dare to let his own seeds take root and germinate.
It wasn't until the night of Hu Yue River that he heard Zi Yu boldly express his feelings and wanted to come to propose marriage. At that moment, he felt that the world was falling apart.
He had been silently guarding and accompanying her for many years. When he suddenly realized that she would leave, the seeds that had been buried deep in his heart finally couldn't help but sprout and climb wildly.
"Ali..." He looked at her tenderly, with some disbelief, and then his eyes filled with joy.
"Ah Li, this is not a joke."
Gu Liyou looked at her seriously, afraid that she was pretending to be a joke, and also afraid that she would not be able to tell the difference between her children and her children.
Ye Sili blushed with embarrassment, but still mustered up the courage to look at him boldly and said firmly:
"I'm not joking. I like you. This kind of like is different from my like for anyone else. It is unique and cannot be shared."
"It doesn't matter if you don't like me, I will hide this love deep in my heart and no one will know except you and me."
Ye Sili spoke out everything she was thinking in one breath, her breathing slightly erratic because of her nervousness, and her hands hanging by her sides squeezed her dress so tightly that it wrinkled.
She looked at him boldly, but saw that he was silent for a long time, sourness welled up in her heart, and she looked away at a loss, pretending to be calm: "It doesn't matter...it doesn't matter...I...I know..."
Seeing her suddenly lowering her head in despair, Gu Liyou stretched out his index finger and touched her forehead, asking her to raise her head, and said with a fond smile:
"You...this little head is always dreaming. I'm just thinking about how to explain it to my grandfather."
Knowing his intentions, Ye Sili's nervousness dissipated, she grinned widely, stepped forward and took Gu Liyou's arm, leaning against it like a coquettish person in the past.
"Grandpa has always liked you. He was afraid that it would be too late to be happy, so he would not stop you."
On October 27th of the 18th year of Xining, in the tower of the imperial city, under the fireworks of the waning moon, a pair of jade men held the hands of their son and made a promise to grow old together with him.
Only at this moment did the young man, who had just begun to fall in love, express his true feelings, and was so brave that he was not afraid of any obstacles.
Xiao Ling was the first person to discover that Ye Sili was missing.
"Where's Si Li?" Xiao Ling turned around and found that both of them had disappeared, "Why is Liyou missing too?"
Only then did Mu Jiufeng react and quickly left to look for them.
Xiao Ling wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Yun An beside him.
"Princess……"
She turned to look at Yun An and saw Yun An's lips pursed slightly, hesitating to speak. She glanced at Mu Jiufeng who was walking away, then turned back and asked Yun An: "What's wrong?"
But he saw Yun An offering an object carefully wrapped in a handkerchief with both hands.
"What is this?" Xiao Ling didn't understand what he meant.
Yun An hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Happy birthday, princess."
It was originally a birthday gift to her.
Xiao Ling was somewhat looking forward to it.
Yun An has been with her for many years and has always behaved himself, but seems to be very inhumane.
This year he specially prepared a birthday gift.
Xiao Ling reached out to take the handkerchief, and her slender fingers accidentally touched Yun An's hand. At this time, all her thoughts were on the gift and she didn't care about anything else.
The handkerchiefs were neatly folded and opened layer by layer. Lying inside was a handmade silver bracelet.
The silver bracelet does not have too fancy patterns, just simple engravings.
Xiao Ling was attracted by the pattern on it, took the silver bracelet in his hand, raised it in the air, and sealed the waning moon.
"There is actually a little rabbit on it." Xiao Ling said happily: "Yun An, where did you find this bracelet? There is actually a little rabbit on it, and there is also a...'ling' word?"
Xiao Ling slowly turned her head to look at Yun An and said in surprise: "You didn't make this bracelet yourself, did you?"
Being exposed in person, Yun An lowered his head in embarrassment. He quickly made up his mind, looked up at Xiao Ling, and said without changing his expression: "Yes."
"Why..." Xiao Ling was even more surprised. She was about to praise him for his skill, but heard him explain first:
"This is a birthday gift specially prepared for you by my subordinates. It can protect you in critical moments."
Without waiting for Xiao Ling to ask questions, he took the initiative to explain: "This bracelet was made by a subordinate based on the hidden weapons of Jianghu. There is a mechanism inside. If the mechanism is touched, a poisonous needle can be fired. If the subordinate cannot protect the princess in time in the future,
The princess can still defend herself."
"There is such a powerful thing." Xiao Ling liked it very much and played with it for a while, but after all, she didn't have any foundation in kung fu, so the poisonous needle she shot might not be accurate at all.
"Then after returning to the palace, please teach me how to use it." Xiao Ling liked it very much and put it on her wrist without saying a word.
Seeing that she liked it so much, Yun An also breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that she wouldn't like these things.
When it was ugly, people on the street had already gone home one after another. The autumn wind was bleak, so Ye Sili and his party also went down the stairs and prepared to go home leisurely.
Ye Sili walked in the front, turned around and looked at his group of friends, jumping back and forth step by step, "Thanks to Xiao Ling being so favored by the Holy One, tonight we can walk through such prosperity and enjoy such beautiful scenery."
According to the past, except for shops on various streets and along the Huyue River, shops and vendors on other main roads have curfews.
Fortunately for Xiao Ling's birthday, Emperor Zhou Yuan granted permission to temporarily lift the curfew on October 27th every year, and the whole country celebrated together.
Xiao Ling stepped forward and took Ye Sili's hand, "That's all thanks to you, otherwise I couldn't even leave the palace, how could I have the chance to see such a beautiful scenery?"
Ye Sili agreed very much and nodded proudly. She secretly glanced at Liang Yi who was silent. She could show off for months if she could slip away from him.
"Caicai." Ye Sili stretched out her other hand and called Liang Caicai forward.
She smiled and took the initiative to hold Liang Caicai's arm, and asked pointedly: "How is it? Are you satisfied tonight?"
Xiao Ling instantly stretched her head and stared at Liang Caicai with gossip, waiting for her to express her feelings.
Liang Caicai looked serious and smiled slightly: "The person I want to see is right in front of me, so I am naturally happy."
She clearly felt someone looking at her, but she just lowered her head and smiled, not daring to look at that person.
Gu Liyou was walking behind, looking at Ye Sili who was smiling happily in front of him from time to time. Suddenly, his eyes were sharp and alert, and he gradually slowed down, turned his head slightly and glanced behind him with the corner of his eye, then turned his head and looked at the people jumping in front of him.
Ye Sili.
He walked slower and slower, lagging behind the people in front of him. After confirming that Ye Sili had gone far, he quickly turned around and entered the alley next to the road.
In a moment, he appeared on another street.
The three men in black suddenly turned around, but they didn't know when Gu Liyou appeared behind them.
The men in black held their swords in front of them, but they did not draw them out of their scabbards. After seeing clearly that the person coming was Gu Liyou, a man in black asked, "Are you Gu Liyou?"
Gu Liyou didn't answer, and glanced at them lightly, but it gave people an unbearable sense of oppression.
Today was to celebrate Xiao Ling's birthday. He did not wear the Qingyu Sword, but carelessly touched the jade flute on his waist.
Seeing this, another man in black asked tentatively: "What is your relationship with General Gu?"
Gu Liyou's expression was cold, without any trace of tenderness as before, with a faint murderous look in his eyes, holding a jade flute, and speaking in a cold voice.
"Following me all the way, what do you want?"
The three men in black looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Gu Liyou ignored their words and no one told them before they came that Gu Liyou had this kind of personality...
"Well..." A man in black was pushed by his companion, staggered forward a few steps, and made a random excuse: "I heard that Princess Le'an is beautiful and well-educated, so we three brothers wanted to take a look...
…”
Before the man in black could say anything, he felt an inexplicable coldness on his back. Noticing Gu Liyou's increasingly sharp eyes, he quickly said: "I heard that Princess Le'an has a very good relationship with Gu Liyou. Are you Gu Liyou?"
Liyou?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyou's figure moved, and the next moment he appeared in front of the man in black. The man in black quickly raised his sword to resist, but Gu Liyou held down the hilt of the sword with one hand.
After taking it out of the sheath, the next second there was a jade flute pressed tightly against the crux of his neck.
The other two men drew their swords and moved forward, one from the left and one from the right to attack.
Gu Liyou grabbed the restrained man in black's arm and pushed him to the ground, unable to break free.
Gu Liyou was nimble and nimble, and the jade flute in his hand was not as useful as the long sword, but now he could flip it around flexibly and make deadly moves.
His moves are decisive and without any pretense. They are all fighting skills that he has learned on the battlefield.
He turned around, raised his leg and kicked the man in black's wrist suddenly. The man in black's wrist immediately released its force, and the long sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
He saw Gu Liyou grabbing his shoulder with one hand to use his strength, his whole body flew into the air, and kicked another man in the chest. The man quickly used his sword hilt to block the kick, but he was still kicked back a lot.
Gu Liyou's feet landed on the ground, but he suddenly exerted force on his hands. He heard the man in black scream, and his arm was dislocated.
With a fierce look in his eyes, he raised his foot and stepped on the back of the man in black. He pointed lightly from the jade flute. The man in black who was staggering over from a distance, clutching his chest, was slightly startled, and then stopped quickly.
"explain."
His voice was low, like an evil ghost seeking his life late at night.
The man in black who was trampled under his feet cried out in pain: "I... said it... we just want to know, are you Gu Liyou?"
"Are you a pig? Can't you tell?" His companion who was lying on the ground with him scolded: "Who else can have such skills at such a young age but the young master?"
Gu Liyou kicked him against the wall, and there was a loud bang.
The man in black who was still on the spot was even more frightened when he saw his companion being kicked away, but he clearly felt the feet on his back gradually moving towards his dislocated arm.
