The delicate texture of the book pages touches your fingertips, and the content after each page turn is always so exciting.
Yun Jing was concentrating on reading, as if he had forgotten that there was another person not far away. The setting sun shone on him from outside the door, as if it was coated with a layer of brilliance. The quiet picture was particularly soothing and unbearable to disturb.
"Although this person is not very old, he is the most special person I have seen since entering Dali territory. This indifferent temperament is something I have never seen in anyone of the younger generation. No wonder the person behind it
The purpose of deliberately bringing us here is very obvious. He wants us to see the real young talents of Dali, and not to be complacent about defeating some mediocre people before. However, this person is not 'aggressive' at all. I'm afraid there are people behind it.
I miscalculated. I just don’t know if I have the real ability to withstand those people’s deliberate efforts. If it’s just an embroidered pillow..."
Looking at the cloud scenery without trace, Wu Changkong had a variety of emotions for a moment.
Withdrawing his gaze, Wu Changkong did not bother Yun Jing who was reading. Since he didn't mind walking around the bookstore, he might as well take this opportunity to take a walk. After all, she didn't know if she could come here again once she left.
Every book here is the crystallization of wisdom left by the senior masters. Wu Changkong has never thought of taking it as his own, but if he occasionally gains something, it is not worth his while to come here.
But what Wu Changkong was more curious about was how long Yunjing could keep his composure, so that his arrival would not be just to say hello.
More than patience, she ‘Wu Changkong’ is not afraid of anyone.
With a calm mind, Wu Changkong opened a book and read it slowly. She read very slowly. Even if there were annotations in the book, it was not easy to understand and absorb it. If she just read it in a quick glance, she would miss a lot of things.
.
At the same time, she had to sigh in her heart. She was indeed a senior master with a broad mind. The books she left behind did not restrict anyone who came into contact with them. Before that, she thought she would not be able to open the book, or that she would not be able to read it after opening it.
As for the content inside, the things left by the masters of the Mythical Realm can definitely easily achieve these aspects.
This 'weird' scene unfolded in a small bookstore. The two people were looking at their own things, without any communication at all. They were just two completely unrelated people.
Yunjing didn't know what Wu Changkong was thinking. If he knew, he would only say that she was overthinking. Yunjing really didn't care who she was and what her purpose was. Even if she was disguised as a man, even if she was really Empress San Luo,
At the moment, it's not as attractive as the books in my hands.
Such a scene made Deng Changchun speechless and almost dozed off. This was not what he wanted to see at all...
Time passed little by little, and Yunjing looked away from the books this time, knowing that there was no more sunlight coming in outside the door.
Yunjing didn't eat anything for most of the day, but he didn't feel hungry. On the contrary, he was in high spirits. In fact, he gained a lot from the contents of the book.
The sun went down and it was already evening.
After looking at the sky, Yunjing closed the book and stood up, moved his limbs a little, and found that Wu Changkong was still there. He thought for a while and said: "...Brother Wu, I hope I haven't disturbed your reading, but it's getting late now..."
"
The meaning is self-evident, it's getting late, I have to leave, I have to close the door, are you leaving too?
It's not that Yunjing is afraid that Wu Changkong will destroy things here, the main reason is that this is Master Liu's hometown, and it would not be good for him to leave and let a foreigner stay here.
Also, Yunjing felt strange that he knew the other person was a woman but still addressed her with male courtesy.
Hearing Yun Jing's voice, Wu Changkong remained calm on the surface, but he was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, that's it?
Not only did Yunjing not discuss and communicate with him, he didn't even say any extra words after greeting him at the beginning. He directly issued an eviction order, which was completely different from what he thought.
This is really...
How should I put it? Wu Changkong was a little bit dumbfounded. The person behind the scheme was definitely disappointed. Even he felt a little weird like a punch on cotton. He was obviously ready to deal with any situation.
But in the end nothing happened.
Closing the book, Wu Changkong said calmly: "Time flies so fast. It's already evening before I know it. It's rude of me to disturb you."
As she said that, she put the books in her hands back to their original places. She hadn't finished a single book yet. She was a little bit reluctant to leave it. She didn't know if she would have the chance to finish reading this book in the future. After all, she could only come to this place once.
It's fate. I think there is a high probability that there will be no chance for the second time.
"Brother Wu is serious, you are a guest, but I have to leave. It's a bit like expelling a guest. Brother Wu, please be considerate of me. I really don't have any dissatisfaction with Brother Wu." Yunjing bowed his hands and apologized.
Wu Changkong returned the courtesy and said: "No, I understand."
Yunjing didn't worry too much, smiled, and didn't put the books back on the bookshelf. He even took two more books, planning to take Qingjiang City to read them slowly. He didn't take more because he could come back and change them at any time after reading.
, after all, it would be a sin if something written by Master was lost.
Seeing Yun Jing's unhurried movements, Wu Changkong thought for a while and said: "It's better to meet by chance than to meet by chance. Brother Yun's character is something you only see in your life. If you don't dislike him, why not find a place to sit down and make friends.
How are you friends?"
After coming here, Wu Changkong always felt that something was missing and felt unhappy if he left like this, so he wanted to have an in-depth communication with Yun Jing.
Hearing this, Yunjing pondered for a moment, and then apologized: "How dare you dislike me? I just have to go back. The journey is hundreds of millions of miles away. It's already very late now. I don't have time. I can only live up to Brother Wu's kindness. Why not?"
Let’s talk about it another day when you have time?”
Wu Changkong was slightly startled. Before this, few people would reject her, but now she is Wu Changkong, not her real self. This kind of thing is normal.
You don't have the mentality that you don't know how to praise and know how rare this opportunity is. Wu Changkong nodded and said with an understanding expression: "In that case, forget it, I will stay in Dali Capital.
It’s been a long time, and I look forward to the next time I meet Brother Yun.”
"I feel relieved if Brother Wu understands. If I offend Brother Wu, it will appear that I am far from being a scholar and I don't know etiquette." Yun Jing said with a smile.
It has to be said that in Yunjing's view, the woman pretending to be Wu Changkong still knows how to advance and retreat, and is not aggressive at all. At least for now, she can't be disliked.
Smiling, Wu Changkong joked: "Brother Yun, you won't say you don't have time just because I'm from another country, right?"
"What did Brother Wu say? Naturally, the interactions between people cannot be generalized on different occasions. If it is just normal communication, how can it be mixed with other things? Of course, if we stand on a necessary stand and occasion, right and wrong, grudges, family and country
Righteousness must be distinguished," Yunjing responded with a smile.
Wu Changkong nodded and said with a smile: "That's right."
They are all smart people, and they understand many things. Normally, it is really nothing, but at certain critical moments, if they cannot distinguish their own positions, it will make people laugh.
For example, for the sake of so-called relationships, people who even disregard the morality of their family and country will be cast aside. Even if they think they have done the right thing, in the final analysis, others still have to judge whether it is unfair or unfair.
As he spoke, Yunjing made an inviting gesture toward the door. Wu Changkong nodded and walked out.
Yunjing took the books out, then turned around and closed the door, and immediately the two of them came to the street one after another.
Standing on the street, Wu Changkong turned around, but there was no bookstore anywhere, and she could no longer feel it. If she hadn't been standing beside the cloud scene, she would have thought that everything before was just a dream.
I'm afraid I only have a "one-time relationship" with Yuyuan Bookstore. It's probably impossible for me to go there again in the future.
For Yun Jing, the bookstore has always been there, and he can go there whenever he wants. After all, it is licensed by Master Liu, and his senses are not distorted like others.
"Brother Wu, let's say goodbye. We'll talk about it later when we have time. Farewell."
"Brother Yun, please..."
After a simple farewell, Yunjing turned around and walked away. The two parties were not even friends, so naturally there was no parting.
Watching Yunjing leave, Wu Changkong withdrew his gaze and looked around, but he could no longer find the bookstore before. Even the details of the bookstore in his memory began to become blurry. He only remembered that he had been to a bookstore, and then saw
After reading all afternoon, she remembered the contents of the book but forgot about the rest little by little. Thinking about it, it won't be long before the words Youyuan Bookstore will fade from her memory.
The methods of the Mythical Realm are no longer something ordinary people can guess, not to mention that Liu Neng has already set foot in the Xiaoyao Realm...
"Master, you finally showed up. Your subordinates have failed in their duties. I hope you will punish me."
When Wu Changkong appeared again, her servants came over immediately. They were all frightened. Before that, they were scared out of their wits. If something unexpected happened to Wu Changkong, the consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, it was okay.
Wu Changkong waved his hand gently and said: "I don't blame you."
With just these four words, she didn't explain too much. Even if she talked about the bookstore, it would be meaningless. What if she had the opportunity to explain it to her servants?
As long as she is fine, the servants don't dare to ask more questions about anything else. As for whether to investigate in the future, it depends on Wu Changkong's wishes. The servants don't dare to make any decisions on their own.
"Brother Wu, where did you go just now?"
"Fortunately nothing happened, we were very worried"
Zhu Can and Chen Lin also came over, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces. It was really strange that Wu Changkong had just disappeared without a trace, and could not be found. It was too bizarre.
They didn't know Wu Changkong's identity, and although their words were concerned, they were very casual.
"It's not my fault that you two brothers are worried. Let's go and find a place to have a drink and apologize." Wu Changkong saluted and smiled. She was all acting up. Her words and deeds must naturally be in line with her current status.
.
Zhu Can nodded and said with a smile: "You really need to have a drink to calm down. You and I have come all the way to a foreign country. If something unexpected happens, how will we go back and explain?"
A few people were walking together, and Chen Lin asked thoughtfully: "Where did Brother Wu go just now? It makes me very curious."
"Brothers, do you still remember that magical bookstore? It is real. I went there just now. You think that's how I disappeared out of thin air." Wu Changkong smiled with a look of surprise and memories.
.
After hearing this, Zhu Can asked: "That bookstore really exists? But why do we..."
"Why can't you see it? This is the magic of the bookstore," Wu Changkong took over.
Chen Lin said thoughtfully: "It seems that we are not as far away as Brother Wu, and we are not even qualified to take a look at that magical bookstore."
"You can't say that, it's just luck," Wu Changkong shook his head.
Zhu Can said: "Brother Wu, can you tell us about the bookstore? Since it really exists, I really want to see it. Maybe we should come here to have a look next, just in case we are lucky enough to see it."
"There's nothing I can't say. It's just that although I went there once, I don't know much. Let's go, let's drink and chat later..."
In the distance, Deng Changchun, who was secretly observing, was speechless. He stood up and said, "Let's go. It's a waste of half a day. That kid really led everyone to him as he guessed at the beginning, but nothing happened."
Originally, he was looking forward to a tit-for-tat confrontation between Yun Jing and Wu Changkong, but he ended up looking forward to loneliness. Therefore, nothing in the world can develop in the direction of imagination, otherwise there will be nothing worth looking forward to in the future.
Xia Ziyue had expected this for a long time. She felt funny in her heart and stood up and said: "I'll send you my husband."
"No, your highness should go back early. You have been out for so long, so you don't have to worry about others." Deng Changchun shook his head and said. He took one step and disappeared.
Xia Ziyue was not surprised by this, and didn't care. She could no longer feel the aura of the jade pendant. Xia Ziyue knew that Yun Jing had left, and she didn't know when she would come to the capital next time.
Although Xia Ziyue has a transcendent status in the Dali Dynasty, she actually does not hold any real power and official position, but her words and deeds contain great energy.
It was rare for her to relax for a long time, but she did not forget about business. She turned around and gave instructions: "Inform Yilou and pay attention to the whereabouts of Empress Sanluo. If there is any news, report it in time. Her current whereabouts are unknown. She may be planning something, but let
People are worried”
"As ordered..."
Not long after nightfall, Yunjing had returned to Qingjiang City from Dali Capital.
Ye Tian and the others had all left, and the small courtyard had returned to its former peace. However, Yun Jing did not feel at all disappointed. After all, it was easy for him to meet each other no matter how far apart they were.
"Little Yezi has been busy recently, so I can only go to Xiaobai occasionally. However, the imperial examination is approaching, so I still have to focus on studying. Now that I have the books left by Master Liu, I will study harder and strive to get the exam."
Good ranking”
After coming back, Yunjing pondered these things in his mind. After tasting the benefits of the books left by Master Liu, he simply stayed up late at night to read and absorb the knowledge in the books.
For him, the days actually haven't changed much.
Sometimes he thinks that such ordinary days will become boring after a long time, but it's not boring before. When it is really boring, there are always ways to pass the boring time.
At night, in Da Li Capital, inside an inn that ordinary people cannot afford.
There is a separate small courtyard in the inn. Under the calm appearance, there are many experts secretly protecting it. Even if mosquitoes come in and out, they can distinguish the male from the female.
The mist rose in the bathroom, and the large bathtub was filled with flower petals.
Wu Changkong stood by the pool, with her hands slightly open, and two beautiful maids carefully helped her undress and untie her belt.
As the clothes came off one by one, her whole body changed visibly. The beard on her face disappeared, the Adam's apple on her neck disappeared, and her flat chest began to become tall, white and round...
After a while, she completely lost her daytime disguise and transformed from a masculine male image into a woman that people dare not look at directly.
She didn't dare to look directly at her, literally, because she had such a strong aura after taking off her disguise. Just standing there, she looked like an emperor. Even few people could raise their heads in front of her with that kind of courage.
Her real name is Wu Qingmei, but few people know her name, and almost no one calls her by this name, because people usually call her Your Majesty.
She is the empress of the Sanluo Dynasty. She is now twenty-six years old and has been on the throne for eleven years. No one knows how she, a weak woman, has been on the throne for all these years. She is the only one who has to face all kinds of pressure.
I have a deep understanding of it myself.
After all, she is a woman. She has been in office for so many years. Even if she has great means, she dare not say that her position is secure. Because she is a woman, any mistakes will be magnified infinitely.
Take the battle last year as an example. After losing the war, some ministers even urged her to abdicate. Some ministers even asked her to go to Dali to make amends!
During that time, she killed many people with iron-blooded methods, but it still could not offset the fact that she was a woman, and even the blood in the court could not suppress the voices in the court.
The reason why she can still sit in that chair, apart from her ability and means, is mainly because San Luo's remaining mythical realm is still supporting her. As long as San Luo's mythical realm is still supporting her, her position will be stable.
Yes, no matter how fierce the minister's quarrel is, it can't shake her foundation.
But she was still under a lot of pressure, and even felt that even the support of the mythical realm was somewhat powerless.
The mythical realm is often just a symbol and will not personally help her solve problems. She still has to rely on herself for everything.
So she quietly left the court after arranging everything, and as rumored, she was looking for a 'good wife' who could help her make plans.
Looking for a 'good wife' is not about looking for a man to climb onto her bed. At least so far, no man has caught her eye.
But can she really find a 'good wife' who can help her with advice?
So far, she has not found such a great talent. If she really encounters him, she will definitely recruit him with good courtesy.
She came directly to Dali to look for such a person. There are two reasons. Firstly, because young talents from many countries are currently going south. Each one of them is a talent selected by the whole country. Maybe there is the person she is looking for among them. Another reason is,
It was because the changes in the Dali Dynasty over the years were obvious to all. It was as if God was taking care of them. Good things happened one after another. From the bottom of her heart, she was very jealous. Why didn't those good things happen in the Sanluo Dynasty?
So she came and wanted to know why the Dali Dynasty was so cared for by God. If the changes in the Dali Dynasty were caused by someone, would that person be the person she was looking for?
If someone really contributed to the current Dali, Wu Qingmei herself didn't know what to do. After all, it was impossible for the Dali Dynasty to let such a person leave. Even if the other party was capable, he would never change his position easily unless the Dali Dynasty became evil.
he……
In the bathroom where the mist was rising, Wu Qingmei, who had returned to her original appearance, walked step by step towards the bathtub.
She is 1.75 meters tall, has a peerless face, and a figure that would make any man's blood boil just by looking at her.
She has a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, but they are not charming and enchanting. She shows a domineering look when looking at her, especially the royal aura that she has developed over a long period of time. It is something that any man wants to conquer but dare not have such an idea.
Her legs are very long and have graceful lines. She is simply a perfect leg. Every time she steps, she steps on the top of people's hearts. The ratio of her waist to her hips is the golden section...
Even the maids who served her in the bath did not dare to take a second look at such a scene. Firstly, they did not dare. Secondly, even women are easily addicted.
Slowly, her figure disappeared into the pool of water covered with petals. Only one head emerged from the water, and her black hair spread out randomly. Her blood-spraying body loomed under the water.
Two palace ladies knelt down next to her head, one of them massaged her head gently, while the other waited respectfully.
Slightly closing her eyes, Wu Qingmei was herself only at this time, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility, instead of wearing a mask like during the day.
There was a slight breath of alcohol coming out of her attractive full red lips. She had drank earlier. In fact, she didn't like drinking, but she was Wu Changkong during the day, and everything she did must be consistent with Wu Changkong's identity.
With her eyes closed, she said: "Let someone investigate the person named Yun Jing. I want to know his detailed information. Just do it secretly. Be sure not to be discovered by him, and don't make any arbitrary moves against him on your own."
move"
She spoke very calmly and her voice was not loud, but there was an undeniable air to it.
"According to the order," the palace maid next to her lowered her head and said. She didn't dare to ask any more questions or even have unnecessary thoughts. Just do what you should do. You won't live long if you are smart.
Without further words, Wu Qingmei closed her eyes and fell asleep. Tomorrow she would look like something he hated again. If her true appearance was not so important, how could she pretend to be a man?
In fact, she hates men very much. Although she is not a bender, up to now, whenever a man comes within one meter of her, she will feel disgusted in her heart, let alone having physical contact with a man.
She has never met any man who she doesn't hate from the bottom of her heart.
After all, she was a woman, and she had also longed to spend time with the man she liked day and night, but her identity destined that kind of thing to only exist in dreams.
As the emperor of a country, this status is destined to have a political tone when she comes into contact with any man, let alone developing a close lover relationship.
Besides, how can any man maintain a normal attitude when facing her? It's almost impossible for her to be a little woman. She doesn't even dare to look at her, and there's no talk about the love between children.
