From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 635

The setting sun was like fire, and the red light illuminated the dry grassland. The two women moved and were still, as if to bring new life to the place.

Li Yu'an covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and her little hand was on Zhou Yuan's shoulder, as if to embarrass him intentionally.

Su Youzi's face was very calm, just looking at the scenery around her lightly. The evening wind blew up her dark blue Taoist robe, and her long hair also dropped a strand and fluttered in the wind.

Tens of thousands of soldiers guarded them, and the world seemed to fall into some kind of indefinable silence, and time seemed to be frozen here.

Only Luo Zhiyuan next to him was embarrassed, still immersed in the embarrassment of being ignored.

"Master."

Zhou Yuan saluted respectfully, not daring to smile.

It was not until now that he understood why the master said "it's finally over" on the day when he planned to concentrate on practicing martial arts in Shenjing.

It turns out that… the decadence and absurdity during that period were all seen by the master, and I wonder if the master felt involved in Qu Ling’s exaggerated cosplay games, after all, Xiao Moxiang prepared more than three Taoist robes.

"The Tao does not want to be mixed. If it is mixed, it will be too much. If it is too much, it will be disturbed. If it is disturbed, it will be worried. If it is worried, it will not be saved."

Su Youzi looked at Zhou Yuan and said slowly: "Yuan Yizi, you are too distracted, which may cause troubles. Remember to be quiet and keep one, be simple and honest, and have few private desires."

Li Yu'an raised her eyebrows and said: "Sister, you are a monk, but don't educate everyone like a monk. If you ask me, my nephew is 'able to move and quiet, and understand longevity'."

"Food and sex are human nature. If people don't have worldly desires, how can they have love? If there is no small love, how can there be great love? If there is no great love, how can things be accomplished?"

"My nephew follows the way of his heart, not the way of escaping from the world. He has done very well. You can't be too harsh on him."

Su Youzi looked at her and said coldly: "Food and sex are human nature? People's worldly desires? Does this include coveting Master?"

Li Yu'an was stunned when she heard this, then she laughed while holding her stomach, shaking her head and said, "Little nephew, this time, the master can't speak for you."

Zhou Yuan was sweating profusely, and said with a stiff face, "Master, I am unrestrained in my spare time, playing around in the world, just for fun, and I have no intention of blaspheming the master. Please forgive me."

Su Youzi didn't appreciate it, but said lightly, "Since my sister is here, my mission is completed. Yuan Yizi, the difficulties in the world come from the change of times. Don't take all the sins on yourself. This is not what you should bear."

"The master is going back to Zhongnan Mountain, that's where I should go."

"Although this grassland is vast and boundless, it is not a place for cultivation."

As long as there is Tao in my heart, where is not a place for cultivation?

Since the times are changing, how could I not be a person of the times?

Zhou Yuan did not agree with his master's opinion, but he was unwilling to argue with him at this moment. He just whispered: "I thank you for your protection. After the matter is over, I will go to Zhongnan Mountain to visit my master."

Su Youzi stopped talking, just looked at the warriors holding swords in the distance, sighed softly, moved, and floated away.

In the reflection of dusk, her back became blurred, leaving only a calm sentence: "Protecting your own disciples is what a master should do."

This made Zhou Yuan fall into silence. Along the way, the master did fulfill her responsibilities. Although she was cold-tempered, she never ignored me.

In fact, in order to protect Jianjia and the others, the master did not even return to Baiyun Temple.

That was the place she had guarded for ten years.

Thank you, Master...

Zhou Yuan murmured in his heart.

"Everyone is gone, don't look."

The sudden loud voice pulled Zhou Yuan back from his contemplation.

Luo Zhiyuan shouted with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I have to say that your master is really powerful and has a great killing power on a young man like me who is just beginning to fall in love."

He saw Zhou Yuan's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything. For a moment, he felt a little unsure.

Looking to the other side for help, he saw Master Li also smiling, but his eyes were not very friendly.

"Xu Dasheng!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly shouted!

"I'm here!"

Xu Dasheng hurried over and shouted, "Marshal, what happened!"

Zhou Yuan said coldly, "This man is my younger brother. He claims to be the best soldier in the army. I value feelings and like to satisfy my younger brother's wishes. I'll hand him over to you during this period. If you can't train him, I'll let you shovel horse manure."

Xu Dasheng's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Good guy! This is the Northwest Army! He wants to be the best soldier? He's even more boastful than me!"

"Brothers! This young boy wants to be your best soldier!"

The black-faced men around looked at Luo Zhiyuan and laughed.

Luo Zhiyuan was almost scared to death and said quickly, "Brother Zhou, don't, I was wrong,Please spare me."

Zhou Yuan said: "Xu Dasheng, his name is Luo Zhiyuan, he is Luo Hong's only grandson. If you can't train him, how can you face your old general in the future?"

Xu Dasheng's body suddenly shook when he heard this, and he was stunned for a moment.

He murmured: "Is...he really the general's only grandson?"

As a Gansu native and a veteran of Gansu, how could Xu Dasheng not know Luo Hong? It's just that when Luo Hong was full of vigor and vitality, he had just joined the army.

"Boy!"

Xu Dasheng pressed Luo Zhiyuan's shoulder and said loudly: "From today on, I will train you personally! "

So, in the midst of Luo Zhiyuan's painful wailing, Xu Dasheng took him away like a chick.

This was the price he paid for his disrespect to his elders, and it was something he should bear.

Besides, Zhou Yuan needed to be alone with the Virgin Sister, so why would he leave this light bulb behind?

Li Yu'an seemed to have sensed something, and blinked and said, "You sent everyone away, do you have something to say?"

"No... I just miss you."

Zhou Yuan hugged her again, smelling the fragrance of her hair and feeling the temperature of her body.

Li Yu'an opened her arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at his face so close.

She laughed and tilted her head and said, "It seems that I have also stolen your heart, I feel it."

Zhou Yuan said, "I'm used to having you by my side. This time when you're not here, my heart is always empty."

"Now that you're here, I feel much more at ease. I have the confidence to support everything that will happen later. "

Li Yu'an held his face and chuckled, "Look, you are always so good at talking, and you are likable to listen to."

She looked up and said, "Little nephew, herding horses and galloping with you in the starry night is something I have wanted to try for a long time."

Following her gaze, Zhou Yuan looked up at the sky.

Dusk has passed, night has fallen, the faint residual light in the west releases the afterglow, and the unobstructed sky is already dotted with stars. The wind blows, the horses neigh, and the two people with their faces up are tightly attached to each other, and their eyes reflect all the beautiful scenery.

So get on the horse! Rush towards the distance!

"Too slow! You are too slow! "

Li Yu'an, with long hair and fluttering clothes on horseback, showed an unprecedented bright smile.

After a day of exposure to the sun, the earth was still warm at night, and they were so tired that they lay on the grass.

The two panted, holding hands, looking at the bright starry sky, as if they could see the passage of time.

Li Yu'an couldn't help but get closer to him, resting her head on his arm, and whispered: "If there is no war tomorrow, I think I will lie here forever."

Zhou Yuan said: "But the starry sky will wait for us, it has always been there and has never left. We have solved all the problems, and we can still come here and meet it again."

Li Yu'an smiled and squinted: "Sister Ningyue likes this kind of world the most. I can't imagine how happy she will be here."

Zhou Yuan said: "I will let you all see it, the grassland will stop bleeding, and winter will pass quickly. "

Li Yu'an said: "At that time, the glaciers will melt, the flowers will bloom, the grass will grow and the birds will fly. This world will be clearer and the starry sky will be brighter."

"Zhou Yuan, you will protect this sky full of stars, right?"

Promises are sometimes not so loud, but just the calmest tone, just the subtlest whisper.

"Yes, this is our world."
