Don't repay, just hug

The night of the Qiqiao Festival is really lively.The streets are decorated with lights and festoons, just like daytime.Vendors lit their own lanterns, and the lights stretched all the time, booming, like a long red dragon flying in the street, really beautiful.

King Xuan and his party sat on the balcony on the second floor of Yuebin Building.After drinking and eating, Guangxiu began to think about where to go next.King Xuan looked at him with a smile, he really had a childlike innocence.

Ye Yu greeted Xiao Er, and while paying the bill, asked where the night tour was the most pleasant.

They are regular customers of Yuebinlou, and Xiaoer should treat them attentively: "You asked me, after a while, it's time to set off fireworks, Kemei! Guest officers, you can go to Lanyuelou to have a look. This Lanyue Tower is the highest place in our Lianji City, where you can see the night view of the city at a glance, and it is also the best place to watch the fireworks."

Ye Yu clicked her tongue softly.This Lanyue Building was the place he least wanted to go.

"Also, our Yuanhu Lake is very big. You guys can hire a cruise ship, enjoy the breeze on the boat, drink some wine, enjoy the moonlight on the lake, and the lights on the other side of the lake. It's very comfortable. Moreover, watching the fireworks on the cruise ship is a different experience. The pier is just below Lanyue Building, which is very convenient. If you are interested, you can also put lotus lanterns for wishing on the lakeside. God bless, it is very effective."

King Xuan just laughed at the people's superstition.The scenery sounds pleasant, but I can take Guangxiu to see it.

Hearing that the master was going to Lanyue Tower, Ye Yu's back stiffened.Even though it was a very subtle movement, King Xuan still noticed it.

"what happened?"

"No...it's nothing. Maybe I ate crabs just now and I'm a little allergic. Don't worry, sir, it will be fine in a while, it will be fine in a while..."

The majestic General of the Four Spirits of the Netherworld, the lord of the Southern Territory, is actually afraid of seeing a little human girl, so if the news spreads, the clansmen will laugh out loud?

After leaving the Yuebin Building, King Xuan and the others walked through the bustling night market, feeling the festive atmosphere of Lianji City Well, and walked slowly towards Lanyue Tower.

From time to time, children would laugh and pass by them, holding a lotus lantern in their hands, and humming nursery rhymes with a smile in their mouths: "Shake the boat, shake to grandma's house, grandma asked me to have a bowl of tea." .Tea, tea, tea blooms on the mountain. Water, water, the water bears lotus flowers in the lake.”

They happily moved to the lake and joined the ranks of setting off lotus lanterns.The Lanyue Tower is not far away, and the bright lights reflect on the lake, rendering the black lake water wonderful.The lotus lanterns with burning candles on the lake drift with the waves, dotted with stars, just like the Milky Way, which is too beautiful to behold.

In the blink of an eye, Kung Fu Guangxiu bought three lotus lanterns from a roadside stall and distributed them to King Xuan and Ye Yu.He was full of anticipation to be able to light the lantern together with King Xuan.

King Xuan was a little bit dumbfounded.Ye Yu looked at him, and asked with his eyes if he wanted to decline Guangxiu, he shook his head slightly, and walked to the lake with Guangxiu.There are several couples in love next to them. They made childish or affectionate wishes and pushed the lotus lanterns in their hands into the lake.The lotus lanterns in twos and threes drifted away with the waves.

King Xuan also squatted down with Guangxiu, seeing that he folded his palms together, he didn't know what wish he was making.

He never believed that just putting a lotus lantern on could make everything go smoothly.The life of the human race is too short to have so many beautiful thoughts.

King Xuan smiled and shook his head.

However, seeing that Guangxiu's eyes were tightly closed and he was serious, King Xuan also began to seriously examine the lotus lantern in his hand.

Is it a beautiful thought...

Residents of Lianji City call this lotus lamp the lamp of hope.

(I hope...)

Seeing that Guangxiu is still praying quietly, I don't know what kind of wish he is making in his heart at this moment?

Do you hope to reunite with your clan as soon as possible?

Do you want to live a long, carefree life?

Or do you hope that those who brought him suffering will get the punishment they deserve?

—or all of the above?

Seeing Guangxiu's peaceful face, King Xuan muttered a word in his heart, then put the lotus lantern in his palm into the lake water, and let it float away with the water.

——I hope Mitsuhide’s wish will come true.

May this beautiful thought not be blown away by the wind.

Taking advantage of King Xuan and Guangxiu's attention on the lotus lantern, Ye Yu held the lotus lantern a little away from them, squatted down, put the lantern on the ground, and sighed heavily.

Mitsuhide is an idiot.The lotus lanterns in the Qiqiao Festival are placed in pairs, so what do you want to give him this lotus lantern?

"Idiot... your 'gentleness' is not in the right place..."

Guangxiu probably wanted to release the lotus lantern with Lord Xuanwang, and this is the meaning of the lotus lantern for the Qiqiao Festival.The reason why I bought three came back was because I didn't want Ye Yu to feel excluded.

"Squeeze me out at a time like this!"

Now this situation made him not know what to do!

What's the deal with lighting a lamp by himself... And as the Four Spirit General, he didn't want to do such a showy thing.

I'm sorry for Mitsuhide, but let's just leave this thing here.

He shook his head blankly.The moment he stood up, his eyes glanced so casually, and in front of his vision, the beautiful figure on the Lanyue Tower was unobstructed from this angle.

(Ah! That woman is indeed there...)

Could it be that she has been looking at herself since just now? !

Thinking like this, Ye Yu immediately looked away awkwardly, pretending not to see her.

Upstairs in Lanyue, Zhao Qingwan was leaning against the window, looking in the direction of Ye Yu with serious thoughts.Her eyes sparkled, and she lost the vivacity of the evening, and looked at Ye Yu with a bit of worry in her eyes.Under this gorgeous light, it is even more charming.At this time, someone called her from behind, and she cast a mournful glance at Ye Yu's back, and left the window.

Guangxiu had already made a good wish, and slowly pushed the lotus lantern into the lake, joining the star-studded team together with Xuanwang's lotus lantern.Seeing Ye Yu coming back from a little distance away, he hurriedly asked, "Hey, Big Brother Ye Yu, what are you doing there?"

"Ah? Oh...it's nothing, just walk around and have a look. Have you finished? What wish did you make?"

Guangxiu's face suddenly turned red, she glanced at King Xuan secretly, and said embarrassingly: "Xu, Xu's wish will not work if you say it out!"

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.Obviously the couple next to them expressed their wish aloud, saying "a couple for a lifetime".

At this time, bursts of piano sounds came from Lanyue Tower, which attracted their attention.The sound of the piano is also up and down, and the sound is in my ears.To the rhythm of the piano, the guests upstairs sang loudly, crisp and clear.

"The day is deep and the glass is full,

"Blooming toward the small nursery,

"Singing, dancing, and laughing,

"Be happy without any hindrance.

"Before you have to smile and bottle wine,

"Don't teach youth to stop."

The singing voice is heroic, a man's voice.

Attracted by the sound of the music, tourists on the shore of the lake also raised their eyes to wait and see.King Xuan smiled and said: "It seems that this person is very excited."

Ye Yu asked, "Do you want to go up and have a look?"

"No. Guangxiu is still young and not suitable for this kind of occasion."

Ye Yu then suggested: "Then why don't we hire a cruise ship and go boating on the lake, away from the hustle and bustle, and talk more freely."

"Alright."

So the three came to the pier.There were too many guests hiring boats to cruise the lake tonight. When they went, there was only one ornately decorated boat left at the pier.

This painting boat is not too big, it only has one floor, but it is much bigger than a single canopy boat.A person who looks like a boatman is sitting on the deck of the bow, barefoot, with one foot in the water, stepping leisurely on the water.

He was wearing a coir raincoat, with no part of his body exposed except for his hands and feet; he wore a bamboo hat on his head, and his entire face was almost covered, making him look very mysterious.

Ye Yu looked him up and down, and he lowered his head even lower.

"Are you the boatman of this ship?"

Ye Yu is not familiar with the boatmen in the human world, and there is no other boatman on this pier to compare him with.He just simply felt that the "Qi" of the person in front of him was by no means what a boatman should have.

"Yes."

The voice is husky and powerful.

"We want to charter this boat." He didn't want to, but there was really no second cruise ship at the pier.

The man stood up, pressed the bamboo hat even lower, and said, "The three of you are welcome."

The boat slowly swings towards the center of the lake.

Ye Yu was still observing the boatman, when King Xuan said, "Ye Yu, come and have a drink with Yu." Ye Yu had no choice but to enter the cabin and sit down opposite King Xuan.

A jug of wine on the table, two glasses, and a few small dishes to go with the wine—this is something that is basically prepared on every cruise ship.

Guangxiu was admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window, and smelled a strong smell of grapes, so he leaned over and asked, "What are you drinking?"

Ye Yu joked, "Grape juice."

King Xuan's wine glass has been filled.As soon as Guangxiu heard that it was fruit juice, he went to get King Xuan's cup.

"Eh--"

The cups for drinking fruit wine should be larger than ordinary cups.King Xuan was about to stop him, but Guangxiu was already one step ahead and downed a whole glass of wine.

"Ugh..." He couldn't help sticking out his tongue.Sour, bitter and astringent, not tasty at all.

Immediately, his cheeks were flushed, he was dizzy, and he fell headfirst into King Xuan's arms.

Ye Yu held back her laughter, and pretended to say: "Ah, I really drank it."

The puree wine fermented with pure fruit may not seem to be strong, but in fact it has a lot of stamina.

King Xuan sighed, he hugged Guangxiu across his arms, let his head rest on his lap.

"Bullshit."

"My lord Xuanwang, calm down. This subordinate knows his mistake, so he should be clear about it." Ye Yu knew that his master was not really angry, but he still honestly punished himself with three cups.

Fill up the empty cup of King Xuan and drink with the king.

The water waves are as gentle as the moonlight, and the moonlight is as gentle as the eyes of a lover.

They have already traveled a certain distance, and the Lanyue Tower is as big as a thumb.

Guangxiu in his arms stared drunkenly at King Xuan's chin, and suddenly smirked: "Master Xuan... I like... hiccup!"

"Are you uncomfortable?"

Mitsuhide shook his head.

"Then lie down first."

Mitsuhide nodded, closed his eyes, and rubbed his head inward again.

Ye Yu looked at them, and suddenly said: "Lord Xuan Wang, during the day, I asked Guangxiu who destroyed their clan, and how he became a slave."

King Xuan's eyes froze: "...Oh."

Maybe it was because of the light, Ye Yu didn't notice that his master's complexion had gradually turned pale.

"He said that it was Ji Shen's army that destroyed their clan. Because the court alchemists were afraid of their clan's power, that's why..."

"--What did you say?"

King Xuan's voice sounded like a dream.His expression changed suddenly, and his whole body seemed to have been stiffened by shock.

It was the first time for Ye Yu to see his master's shaken expression, and he said slowly: "Yes, Jishen's army destroyed Guangxiu's family, but a few people survived. Among them, Guangxiu was rescued by a hunter, and the others The Qiang people don’t know. Guangxiu will be reduced to a slave because of that Orion’s wife.”

King Xuan was no longer listening.

His heart is in a mess now, and one word keeps repeating in his mind: Ji Shen!

That was the country that he destroyed in his previous life, and it was the last human country that Mitsuhide lived in in his previous life.

——So of course, King Xuan thought it was his country.

A trace of clues that had been faintly visible before then showed a clear outline at this time.

He should have found out earlier.

Guilt blinded him, so that he has not been able to perceive - the truth.

"—Ye Yu."

"Yes!"

"You step back first..."

"Huh? Yes... yes." Ye Yu got up and walked out of the cabin.

King Xuan hugged Guangxiu tightly, as if he wanted to melt him into his blood.

"King Xuan... my lord?" The arms tightly hugging him were trembling, and the expression of lord Xuan Wang was actually very sad.

"Sorry. That's it... just wait a while."

--not him.He wasn't the one who destroyed Mitsusu's family, never was.In his previous life, he used the demon pig to destroy the Jishen country, but at that time, the Qiang people had already been wiped out by Jishen.Guangxiu will appear in Jishen, probably the alchemist found him and brought him back.

He should have thought of it a long time ago—he didn't attack Jishen in this life, but the Qiang people still perished.He should have thought of this faint clue.

Now he finally understands, understands the reason why Guangxiu is afraid of him, but is still willing to offer the Soul Returning Orb for him.

——He was afraid because he had easily trampled on a country that they could not resist with the strength of their entire clan.

——He was willing to avenge them because he tortured and destroyed the country that destroyed their tribe.

Silly.

So stupid to make him love and pity.

His heart has never been so ups and downs, and it has never been so peaceful.

"Great...it's not Yu... who ruined your family..."

Knots melt.His light once again gave him salvation.

Suddenly there was a scream of "咻" outside, and then at the top of Lanyue Tower, a silver snake lifted into the sky and bloomed in the sky. The dark night sky was filled with fireworks.In the sky, the streamer suddenly shone, the fire and rain drifted away, and the haze flickered.

Time seemed to stop its passage at this moment.

The light from the fireworks reflected on Mitsuhide's sleeping face.King Xuan lowered his head, and placed a soft kiss on Guangxiu's brow.

The author has something to say: Why is the kiss not the mouth! ! !
