Chapter 181 - Give Her a Promise of the Prosperous World wit
As soon as Bai Aoxue heard the words of Jun Yeyan, she also felt that it made a lot of sense. Although she had not personally seen this governor Liu, she had heard the great contents of the conversation between Jun Yeyan and him just now.
Such a person who was casually influenced by others was really not a suitable choice to be a governor!
And if the man like him could sit on the position of the governor, he totally had depended on others.
“Thinking about it, it is true that the sky is high, and the emperor is far away. As a result, the monkey comes to be the king as well.” Bai Aoxue smiled and said with a disdained sense.
This Liu Chunjiang was indeed a greedy person who had taken everything from the Liu family and wanted to be a local emperor.
For the metaphor of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan also felt very appropriate.
If Jun Wuhen knew that his country, his world, and everything he was proud of had already been taken away by others quietly, what was his mind like?
“If it’s really what you said, it will take some efforts to pull Liu Chunjiang out of office even though we find the evidence.” Bai Aoxue pondered carefully.
Even if she could expose Liu Chunjiang. However, it was no point to pull him down if the governor of Yangzhou was still under his control for one day.
Apart from the puppet, the governor of Yangzhou, behind him, Liu Chunjiang also had a place in all corners of the country. It was not an overnight thing to overthrow him.
Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue gently frowned.
Seeing the appearance of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan could not help but extend a long hand. Slightly warm palms slowly covered with her eyebrows.
“Don’t frown. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of these things for you.” The voice was full of spoil from Jun Yeyan, with a trace of love dearly.
Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan, with a hint of a smile, “Don’t worry. I just think such things are more challenging. Besides, there are many people like Liu Chunjiang in this troubled era. There will be many people like Liu Chunjiang in the future after I remove one.”
On hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Jun Yeyan said faintly, “So why do you want to help Liu Wan? You know that the biggest number of people in the troubled era is the villain.”
“The first time I saw Liu Wan as if seeing an old friend in a trance. At a glance, I felt that I should help her. It was true of my friend who had been so isolated and helpless, and he had to live on hatred. How similar they were. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help him at that time.” Bai Aoxue whispered.
Bai Aoxue slightly looked at Jun Yeyan, but Jun Yeyan felt Bai Aoxue was seeing another person through him.
What Jun Yeyan did not know was that the old friend Bai Aoxue said was him at a very young age. At that time, Mo Qingjue was framed by Mo Xiao, he could do nothing but to survive on hatred only for revenge, and Bai Aoxue couldn’t help him all the time.
Then she realized that no emotion could assist a person grow like hatred, no matter loneliness or despair.
Like pythons molting their skin, each molting will make them more powerful and invincible.
So was Jun Yeyan. At that time, he fed on hatred and lived on destruction.
“So now, where is he?” Jun Yeyan asked in a low tone.
Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan. The light in her eyebrows and eyes flew around. She held out her hand and gently caressed Jun Yeyan’s face wearing a black-jade mask. She said, “Now he has a lot of reliable people, striving hard for his own goals. He is no longer the one who lives in hatred. At present, he lives pretty well.”
No sooner Jun Yeyan heard the words from Bai Aoxue than some enjoyment hit his heart. When Bai Aoxue caressing his face, he knew that the person she talked about was himself. Because the reflection in the eyes of Bai Aoxue showed that he was everything.
The moment Jun Yeyan wanted to talk when Bai Aoxue blindfolded the branching eyes bewitching all living beings of Jun Yeyan.
“There are beasts in your eyes. The beast in Liu Wan’s eyes exists only for revenge while the beast in yours is to destroy the world, including the sky and the land.” An empty and clear voice made Jun Yeyan shocked both in body and mind.
Beyond his expectations, Bai Aoxue observed so carefully. Once he wanted to destroy everything in this hateful and troubled era now that he had attached nothing in the world and there was nothing valuable for him to cherish.
But since he met Bai Aoxue, he tried hard and learned to control the beast because he had the person he wanted to protect and cherish.
Looking at the sympathy for those vagrant beggars in her eyes, he wanted to give her a flourishing world and a prosperous world imbued with fireworks without ending.
He had never been so eager to be with her down the journey and see the picturesque landscape.
“Xue…” Jun Yeyan gently called. The tone was filled with some depression and more was an unspeakable pleasure.
Bai Aoxue turned her head and looked at Jun Yeyan, splash-ink hair pouring, moonlight flow moving on the hair like the galaxy.
“What’s up?” Bai Aoxue slightly asked with a smile in her eyebrows and eyes.
Looking at such a Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan unexpectedly did not know how to say. Abundant ideas brewed in his mind, along with a lot of feelings, but looking at the Bai Aoxue on this occasion, he could not say anything.
He only wanted to be quiet, staying with her always and forever… just like this moment.
“No … let’s go. It’s time to rest.” Jun Yeyan got up slowly and played the dust that did not exist on the clothes.
Hearing this, Bai Aoxue also felt a little tired. Although she didn’t understand why Jun Yeyan had not asked her the reason why he seemed to be an old friend to her, she wouldn’t say much since he didn’t ask.
Some things could not be explained in a few words.
Bai Aoxue got up when a slender arm stretched out her eyes. Slightly looking up, Bai Aoxue saw Jun Yeyan looked at her with blandness in his eyes.
She stretched out a white and slender palm, into Jun Yeyan’s hands.
Jun Yeyan led Bai Aoxue toward the courtyard had prepared earlier.
“Go to rest. When you wake up tomorrow, I will take you to find Liu Wan, by the way, and visit Yangzhou city.” Jun Yeyan sent Bai Aoxue to the front of the courtyard and said faintly.
Bai Aoxue nodded and looked back at Jun Yeyan, “You might as well rest earlier, too. Remember to take medicine.”
After saying this, she relaxed his hold and headed for the small courtyard.
Jun Yeyan were seeing the figure of Bai Aoxue drifting further and further away and did not leave until she disappeared.
If Bai Aoxue looked back, she could see that the unrestrained figure had been standing behind her day after day as it was at this moment since he met her. He wouldn’t walk away until she disappeared from his sight.
This was his blandness and his way of expressing love.
He did not say beautiful love-words and could not understand women’s thoughts. But he was willing to learn for the sake of her in his heart. Even if he was a bit clumsy, he would devote twelve points of patience.
The next morning, Bai Aoxue had gotten up before Mumian and others came to wake her up.
After talking with Zhao and asking her to protect the several people including Mumian, Bai Aoxue left with Jun Yeyan hand in hand.
“Don’t you need to inform your minions?” Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue and cracked a joke.
Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan and raised her eyebrows, “They’ve been on their way these days. They’re tired too. Let them rest.”
Jun Yeyan did not say much after hearing Bai Aoxue’s words. Everything followed the willing of Bai Aoxue.
At this time, Bai Aoxue changed her usual flamboyant red dress and changed into the suit given to her by Luo Yan last time. She wore a hat just like Jun Yeyan, but a veil under the hat covered her face.
Although she was not afraid of anything, she didn’t want to add some unnecessary anxieties.
Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue dressing well. Elegant eyebrows folded up gently. The appearance of Xue like this would drive people to want to spy out the half-seen covered face which seemed more mysterious.
He really didn’t know whether it was more noticeable or a bit low-key.
Although it seemed to be two persons traveling together, years of killer career let Bai Aoxue feel that there were a few people around, following them in a distance.
She did not even think about it. She knew that they must be loyal to Jun Yeyan.
“Where is Liu Wan?” At this time, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan had entered the Yangzhou city. Bai Aoxue asked Jun Yeyan around her softly.
Yangzhou city was like the depiction from Jun Yeyan. It was indeed a land of fish and rice. Although it was less prosperous than the empire’s capital, it had a unique flavor.
The scenery was rather amazing at the moment. The leaves of willows floated and swirled, which was the breath of spring.
“It’s not far away. I told her to wait in the restaurant earlier. It should be there by now.” Jun Yeyan gently said.
Bai Aoxue nodded and no longer said more, walking toward the restaurant with Jun Yeyan.
Although there were some surprising sights along the way, no one would suddenly come out for trouble.
In a short time, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan came to the restaurant Jun Yeyan said.
As soon as a man sitting alone saw Jun Yeyan, he got up to welcome him.
“Has anyone arrived?” Jun Yeyan glanced at the man.
“My master, that people have been waiting for a long time.” The man whispered, though not saluting but in a respectful tone.
Jun Yeyan nodded and motioned the man to lead the way.
The man didn’t stay either. He walked ahead on his own to lead the way for Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue.
As the man went upstairs, Bai Aoxue looked coldly around the surroundings. Although the restaurant had much business, the majority of guests of the restaurant were divided into sects, whose eyes showed no malice and a trace of friendliness.
Bai Aoxue converged her sights from the guests and did not look any more.
Perhaps there were stories in all corners of the country as well. Where there were people, there were struggles.
She walked to the third floor of the restaurant, all the way unimpeded, but no figure there.
“Subordinate Luo Su pays a formal visit to the master and the princess!” The man saluted respectfully and brought Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan into the room where the environment was leisure.
Jun Yeyan gave the man an admiring look and said, “Where is the woman?”
“Master, the woman is waiting in the private room. You and the princess can rest here. I will go and bring her.” The man said with his head bowed and saluted respectfully.
Jun Yeyan waved his sleeve casually, and the man quickly left.
Bai Aoxue looked around the room and said slightly, “Jun Yeyan, I think you have a lot of money!”
On hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Jun Yeyan asked with a smile, “Xue, why do you think so?”
Bai Aoxue smiled silently and gently shook her head. However, she guessed in the mind whether this restaurant was owned by Jun Yeyan.
The moment Jun Yeyan wanted to answer when a burst of anxious footsteps came from the door!
