Quick travel to find memories

Chapter 135 Sleeping in the Same Bed

Qing Han and the other three sat together, waiting for Ling Huaici's last dish.

As you can imagine, the dish was already burnt. Ling Huaici resigned himself to his fate, scooped out the black mess, and then continued cooking.

He also carefully observed that one dish on the table had been cleared.

It seems that she likes eating it very much.

So, he did it again.

After a stick of incense, four people sat around the table, creating a scene of a warm and cozy family.

……

"Report!" A hurried shout broke the silence in the room, and the guard ran in from outside the door panting.

Xiang Chong's heart tightened, his brows slightly furrowed, his face showing displeasure, and he said in a deep voice: "Why are you so flustered?"

The guard quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, respectfully presented a letter with both hands, and reported loudly: "Urgent news from the border, please have a look, Your Majesty!"

Xiang Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, but he still waved his hand, signaling the servant beside him to take the letter.

After opening the envelope, he took a closer look and his face instantly turned as pale as paper, his eyes full of astonishment and fear.

At this time, the person who was sitting opposite Xiang Chong and talking to him noticed something was wrong and asked with concern: "My king, what happened? Why are you so shocked?"

Xiang Chong calmed down and slowly turned his gaze to the other person. The woman sitting in front of him was Song Yiren!

He took a deep breath, handed the letter in his hand to Song Yiren, and said in a trembling voice: "I am afraid that I can't escape this disaster..."

Song Yiren took the letter, glanced through it quickly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly restrained it.

Then he calmly comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as my wife and I are by your side, we will definitely keep you safe!"

After hearing this, Xiang Chong looked at Song Yiren doubtfully, as if he wanted to find a flaw in her face.

However, Song Yiren remained calm and composed, responding to Xiang Chong's gaze with a firm look. Finally, Xiang Chong seemed to have made up his mind and asked, "Can you really believe what the Imperial Master said?"

Song Yiren nodded slightly to show her affirmation, and solemnly assured: "It will be absolutely safe! Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

After getting Song Yiren's promise, Xiang Chong finally felt relieved. A smile reappeared on his face, and he felt much more relaxed. He couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, very good! Since the national teacher is so confident, he must have a plan! It is really an honor for Nanjiang and a blessing for Xiang Chong!

The corners of Song Yiren's mouth rose slightly, revealing a charming smile.

Her thoughts gradually drifted back to that thrilling night three years ago, when she and Shuzhu were being ruthlessly hunted down by Huo Yanchen's men and fled all the way to the border.

Just when their lives were in danger, a miracle happened - Xiang Chong led his men to save them like a god descending from the sky.

Since then, Song Yiren, Shuzhu and Xiang Chong have developed a deep friendship.

Under Song Yiren's clever planning, they not only successfully conquered several small countries around them, but also made the originally unknown Nanjiang rise rapidly, and its territorial scope and military strength were second only to the powerful Yu State.

In the end, Song Yiren stayed here as the "National Master of Nanjiang", and Shuzhu resolutely chose to stay by her side.

This legendary experience has become an indelible memory in their lives.

Of course, their feelings also developed rapidly and became unforgettable during this period of displacement.

……

Three days later.

Xiang Chong was already exhausted and out of breath. He panted and waved his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Master, are we...are we almost reaching our destination? I am really dying of exhaustion!"

The journey was winding and most of it was steep mountain roads, so carriages could not pass through, and we had to choose to walk.

Song Yiren turned to look at Shuzhu who was walking with her, and found that her condition was not ideal either, so she said, "My king, if you feel exhausted, why don't we take a rest and adjust ourselves before continuing on our way."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Chong nodded repeatedly, indicating that he strongly agreed with the proposal.

The guards who had been following behind were secretly complaining in their hearts, but most of them were gloating. This trip made him deeply realize the hardships and difficulties involved!

In a moment, everyone set out on their journey again, moving forward all the way until night fell quietly, when they could vaguely see a house in front of them.

Seeing that the destination was right in front of them, a few people were about to step forward to ask for some water to quench their thirst, but they didn't expect their eyes to be attracted by a familiar figure first - wasn't that Huaju!

Seeing this, Shuzhu was overjoyed. He couldn't hold back his excitement and ran straight towards Huaju. When he got close, he gave her a big hug, muttering, "Huaju!"

Huaju was unexpectedly hugged so passionately that she didn't even have time to see what the person looked like. Out of instinct, she subconsciously wanted to push the other person away.

However, when she heard the words of the person in her arms, she instantly understood the identity of this person, so she quickly changed her actions, hugged Shuzhu tightly back, and asked with some joy and confusion: "Shuzhu, where have you been all these years!"

At this moment, Shuzhu was so excited that he was incoherent. His throat seemed to be blocked by something. He just kept sobbing and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

……

"Greetings, young master!" When Xiang Chong saw Ling Huaici, he knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation, his movements standard and respectful.

However, when he noticed that Ling Huaici's face seemed a little bad, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Time passed minute by minute, Xiang Chong remained kneeling, but there was no response from Ling Huaici.

Finally, unable to suppress his curiosity and worry, he raised his head slightly and took a cautious glance upwards.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. Once he looked, he immediately understood - it turned out that Ling Huaici's eyes had always been on the hand of the beautiful woman that Shu Zhu was holding.

Xiang Chong thought to himself: This must be their wife! With such a stunning beauty, it's no wonder that she could make her master so distracted...

"Master?" Xiang Chong took a deep breath and suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

This sudden shout brought Ling Huaici back to his senses in an instant and successfully interrupted the conversation between Qing Han and others.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiang Chong. Some people looked surprised, while others looked very dissatisfied.

Facing the different looks from everyone, Xiang Chong felt awkward. He scratched his head subconsciously, while Ling Huaici on the side resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said calmly, "Get up!"

After receiving the order, Xiang Chong quickly responded, "Yes!" Then, he gently patted the wrinkles on his lapels and slowly stood up.

Ling Huaici quickly grabbed Qinghan's wrist and said calmly, "It's getting late. I have specially asked the servants to prepare your rooms. Please rest as soon as possible."

Before he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to other people's reactions, held Qinghan's hand tightly, and walked forward with big strides.

Looking at their receding backs, the remaining people were at a loss for a moment and looked at each other.

Finally, Shuzhu and Song Yiren looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and turned away together.

Xiang Chong followed them silently and disappeared into the front hall.

In the front hall, there were only Huaju, Yeqi and Yejiu left.

Ye Qi waited silently for a moment, but the person in front of him showed no intention of leaving. He couldn't help but look at Ye Jiu with a little impatience on his face, and urged: "Why are you still staying here? Is there anything else?"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jiu suddenly shouted out in a shocking voice: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qi kicked Ye Jiu without saying anything and shouted angrily, "Get lost!"

Ye Jiu dodged the attack easily with a flash of his body, complaining in a low voice: "We used to sleep in the same bed, what happened today?"

Seeing this, Ye Qi immediately grasped the hilt of the sword, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time. Seeing this, Ye Jiu did not dare to stay any longer and ran away immediately.

In a blink of an eye, Huaju and Yeqi were the only ones left in the front hall, and the atmosphere became awkward. Huaju tried hard to find some topics to ease the situation.

At this moment, Ye Qi said, "Don't believe his nonsense, it's just childhood memories!"

Huaju smiled slightly and agreed, "Yes, Shuzhu and I are the same..."
