C83 (1/2)

The two of them rode the same horse, travelling through the stars and the moon, traversing over mountains and valleys. Most of the time, Su Zhi would squint slightly to prevent her eyes from being uncomfortable by the cold wind.

Not long after, the horse stopped. She didn't even have time to open her eyes before Xiao Qian grabbed her.

”This is the place.”

Only then did Su Zhi slowly open her eyes. All along the way, it had been dark and there was no light.

When she opened her eyes and took a good look at the scenery in front of her, she was so shocked that she didn't know how to react.

Not far from her was an ancient banyan tree. Although it was late autumn, it was still verdant and lush with leaves. What was even more astonishing was that fist-sized, colourful lanterns were hung all over the tree, and the oil core was ignited inside. From afar, it looked extremely colorful and beautiful.

As she got closer, she saw that there were also many small words written in ink on the lantern. Picking up a small lantern and looking carefully, he realized that it was her name. This tree was covered in light, and the small lantern was filled with her name. It was accompanied by a short narration.

Su Zhi was filled with mixed emotions. With reddened eyes, she turned to look at Xiao Qian and asked, ”General, what are you doing?”

Xiao Qian explained with a smile, ”I personally wrote the words on the lantern. I, I have never done this before, and I don't know if you truly like it, but Tan Er promised that he would give it a try when he said that it was a hundred times a hundred, so I wanted to give it a try … ”

Tan Er was Tan Qing, the younger brother of Tan Zhao, a playboy from the capital. He was as famous as Lu Huan, and he had the same reputation as Lu Huan. Although he was disgraced by his elders, he was still very envious.

This was clearly not the way to talk to Xiao Qian. It was clear who it was that came up with this idea.

Xiao Qian stood behind her and embraced her from behind. The refreshing fragrance filled his nose once again. He was intoxicated by the smell of the girl in his embrace.

”Ah Zhi, I love you.” The mountain has trees and branches. My heart loves you. Do you know? ”

Su Zhi felt as if all the blood in her body was boiling and her heart thumped rapidly.

She did not know what to say.

Xiao Qian buried his face in her neck and reached out his hand, as if performing a trick, and took out a green jeweled hairpin.

The hairpin's workmanship was quite exquisite. It was made from pink gems. The bottom of the flower bud drilled into the hole, piercing through the thin copper wire. With a slight movement, the hairpin swayed continuously, looking vivid and lifelike.

”Do you like it? I made it myself. ”

Su Zhi stared at the beautiful hairpin, not knowing what to say. Xiao Qian took the hairpin and personally put it into her hair.

The hairpin and the beauty matched each other very well. He could not help chuckling. ”The court is making fun of me for not marrying my wife, saying that I lost my love on the battlefield. However, the world doesn't know that I will only take one ladle of the myriad purple glows red weak waters. I've told myself not to fall in love with you, but I can't help it. ”

His subordinates had died fighting for his country, but he had fallen for his subordinates' widows. This kind of ethics couldn't be overstepped no matter what.

However, he couldn't control himself. He liked her, and at first he just liked her. He didn't care, but by the time he was completely lost in it, it was all too late.

However, while blaming himself, he was also glad that he was a normal man. He would be angry at a woman he liked, and he would also sleep peacefully for her.

Su Zhi's heart sank. She let Xiao Qian hug her as he spoke words that she shouldn't have heard.

Her remaining intellect told her that she could not, absolutely could not.

She took a deep breath and gently pushed Xiao Qian away, covering her mouth as she said, ”General, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you for doing this kind of thing, just like that hedonistic son of a bitch?”

Xiao Qian coughed twice, not explaining that he had placed the blade against Tan Qing's neck.

”Do you like it?”
