Chapter 431 A blessing in life, meeting an opponent in chess

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Shen Yuanbai's shocked pale face and said solemnly:

"Shen Yuanbai, some people are happy until they die when they are confused, and some people are in pain when they are sober. This is your choice. I have tried my best to give you an answer."

She told the answer. Shen Yuan was benevolent and her plan came true. Since it was a win-win situation and protected by the golden finger of the Lord of Hell, why didn't she dare to give it a try?

"Absolutely ridiculous..."

Shen Yuanbai denied it deeply, but there was not much confidence in his words. This time he no longer concealed it, confusion and struggle appeared on his face at the same time.

"Indeed, just think of me as Tong Yanwuji."

Jiaojiao did not argue with Shen Yuanbai, but directly recognized his statement.

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, his whole body trembled slightly and remained silent.

Because such a ridiculous statement can attract thunder, which just shows: the truth is so ridiculous!

So he is just a character made up of words in a book. The writer gave him his life experience, appearance, scheming and everything.

At this moment, Shen Yuanbai could even imagine the author's superior sense of control and superiority in life and death as he arranged for the characters to follow the predetermined trajectory one by one.

He thought that he was out of control, and that his mother-in-law was the chess player, but it turned out that even his mother-in-law was just a contradictory and wise character under the writer.

For a thorough and intelligent person, this truth is too cruel, and even makes Shen Yuanbai vaguely doubt his own existence.

Some people may be able to convince themselves after learning the truth, because they have a happy family, full of ambitions, and all the good things they can't let go of.

But Shen Yuanbai didn't even find a reason to live. Now he just wanted to fulfill his mother's last wish. As for his own life and death, he didn't care about it for a long time.

But now, he actually feels that revenge for his mother and concubine is meaningless. If this is just the world in the book, what else is real?

Shen Yuanbai thought in silence for a long time. Jiaojiao could see his pain and struggle. She opened her mouth and drew Shen Yuanbai's attention.

"If you have nothing else to say, our conversation will end here."

Shen Yuanbai raised his head in confusion, his eyes fixed on Qiao Jiaojiao, and suddenly said:

"So the original winner is me, right?"

Jiaojiao never answered, but Shen Yuanbai no longer had to look for answers from Jiaojiao.

He suddenly smiled lightly and said, "It seems that the mother-in-law's plan can really succeed, but even the original me is just a more qualified chess piece than I am now."

"Qiao Jiaojiao, all the variables are you."

Jiaojiao had already turned around and was about to jump off the stone bench. When she heard this, she paused slightly and said, "What do you think? Do you still want to kill me?"

Shen Yuanbai shook his head lightly, and he opened his lips and asked, "How does it feel to be free? As the only person who has seen through this world, you should be very comfortable and aloof, right?"

When Jiaojiao heard this, she shook her head calmly, "How can I be comfortable? Perhaps it can be said that I am walking on thin ice more than anyone else."

"Sobriety is the most painful struggle. Shen Yuanbai, when you asked me just now, weren't you mentally prepared for this?"

"I already have too many concerns in this world, so I am willing to take the initiative to step into it and become a person here and an insider."

"You and I have different positions, and I cannot agree with your way of doing things. There are countless lives separated between you and me, which means that we can never turn enemies into friends."

"But in response to..."

"If you yearn for freedom and true freedom, then to a certain extent, we are people on a united front."

"Of course, even if you don't want to join it, I will not stop and seek others and heaven to seek my own. I am extremely convinced that one day, free will will fill the world!"

Shen Yuanbai listened quietly. He even followed Qiao Jiaojiao's words and imagined the so-called unfettered freedom.

He lay in the wind in the wilderness, with the grass and trees brushing against his cheeks. He closed his eyes in a relaxed manner, and the sun fell on his body. It was warm and almost melted away all the filth and desire in his body.

Free...?

Shen Yuanbai suddenly laughed. Under Jiaojiao's gaze, his laughter became louder and louder, but it revealed an indelible sadness.

"I don't regret asking you today."

Shen Yuanbai stopped laughing and his throat became a little hoarse.

"I would rather die struggling sober than to live a life of being dominated in a state of confusion."

"Although my mother-in-law did not support me, she was kind to her. I have come to this point and there is no way out. Moreover, it is not something I can do such a stupid thing as wandering around the world."

"Qiao Jiaojiao, in return for your honesty, I will spare no effort to disrupt the Northern Royal Family until death."

"Whether you can take advantage of it or not depends on your Qiao family's ability!"

When Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly frowned. Shen Yuanbai's words... Why did it seem to mean so much?

"You don't want to live anymore?" Jiaojiao asked bluntly.

Shen Yuanbai did not answer, but stared at Qiao Jiaojiao with his dark eyes for a long time.

"Miss Qiao, I believe that we will meet again eventually. When the time comes, I will wait and see whether the free will you mentioned can defeat the determined fate."

Shen Yuanbai said as he rolled up his sleeves to cover the back of his hands burned by the thunder, then turned and walked outside.

Jiaojiao jumped down from the stone bench. The moment she landed, Shen Yuanbai slowly turned around.

The two looked at each other, and both saw deep defense and appreciation in each other's eyes. These two emotions were extremely contradictory, but they were the most real feelings in Qiao Jiaojiao and Shen Yuanbai's hearts at this moment.

"It's a blessing in life that you meet your opponent in chess. When we meet again next time, no matter whether Shen is prosperous or dying, I hope you, Miss Qiao, will not change your original intention, so that I can see whether man can defeat God!"

"As for me, no one has control over my life anymore..."

As soon as Shen Yuanbai said these words, there was another muffled sound in the sky, but it surged into the clouds and was hidden.

Shen Yuanbai raised his head and looked at the sky, with a wicked smile on his face.

He, Shen Yuanbai, is now dead and has nothing to worry about, so what does he have to fear?

Jiaojiao watched Shen Yuanbai leave surrounded by the dead soldiers, with mixed feelings in her heart.

This Shen Yuanbai is really...

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo had already come forward. He picked up Jiaojiao and carefully checked her up and down, left and right, and made sure that Jiaojiao was unharmed, and then he was completely relieved.

Dealing with a smart person like Shen Yuanbai was too much trouble, and Jiaojiao even felt a little tired.

When Shen Yuanbai said that "you meet your opponent in chess," you were really looking down on her.

Jiaojiao lazily leaned on her father's shoulder, looking at the black marks on the ground struck by lightning, she couldn't help but murmured:

"My old King of Hell is still the most powerful. His golden fingers can even block thunder!"

Ding ding ding——

As soon as Jiaojiao finished speaking, a rapid sound sounded in her head.

ah! This familiar feeling, it seems that the rainbow fart is in place!

Jiaojiao couldn't wait to call out the Merit Mall. Before she had time to look at the merit point in the upper right corner, a few big words floated in front of her eyes:

"Knowing a little bit, prompting the son of destiny to rebel against heaven, merit points +1888."

Jiaojiao:?

Chapter 432: God cursed me?

[This old King of Hell is really a fastidious person. He even chose a strangely auspicious number to distribute merit! 】

Jiaojiao suppressed the excitement in her heart and glanced at the upper left corner of the merit mall, where she found merit point 2163.

At this time, the words floating in front of Jiaojiao began to dissipate, and her thoughts were pulled back from the joke.

This sentence is an explosion of information!

"Prompting the Son of Destiny to rebel against Heaven" shows that Shen Yuanbai is really the Son of Destiny in this world, just as she had guessed before.

Furthermore, Shen Yuanbai rebelled against Heaven, but she was rewarded with merit. What does this mean?

This means that the old King of Hell is the opposite of the heaven in this world!

Thinking about it further, she was indeed tricked by the old King of Hell!

She promised that her merits would increase her life and that her life should not be cut off, but in the end, she was reincarnated into a book and surrounded by cannon fodder who were waiting to change her life.

She has been so thoughtful since the moment she was born.

If she hadn't been digging around for clues these days and taking the risk to lure Shen Yuanbai out today, she would never have known that there was a so-called "way of heaven" in this world!

The old King of Hell is really tight-lipped, so strict!

From this point of view, the reason why she came to this world may be that the old King of Hell did it on purpose.

Jiaojiao's mind was filled with thoughts, but she could only wait until she was done with this question before she had the chance to ask the old King of Hell face to face.

In any case, after today, Shen Yuanbai probably won't be obsessed with killing her.

As for how far he will go and how he will control his life, Jiaojiao will wait and see!

Shen Yuanbai had already left with all his dead men. Jiaojiao did not forget Meng Guxue who was still anxiously waiting for news in the other courtyard, and hurriedly said to her father:

"Dad, let's go back first. Sister Meng is probably worried."

Qiao Zhongguo nodded. He took one last look at the direction where Shen Yuanbai disappeared, and then he turned around and strode away with Jiaojiao in his arms.

Qiao Tianjing followed behind, but he was unusually silent at this moment for some reason.

Jiaojiao was lying lazily on her father's shoulder when she accidentally saw something strange about Qiao Tianjing, and she couldn't help but feel slightly startled.

Could it be that eldest brother also...

"Jiaojiao!"

At this time, a cry suddenly sounded from a distance.

Jiaojiao immediately looked back and saw Ajie and Uncle Qiao escorting a carriage speeding towards them.

On the carriage, Meng Guxue couldn't wait to raise the curtains and shouted in this direction.

Qiao Zhongguo immediately hugged Jiaojiao and came forward. Jiaojiao was worried, thinking that the other courtyard was really being attacked, and asked hurriedly:

"Sister Meng, why are you here? Is there something going on in another hospital?"

Meng Guxue shook her head. She was about to speak but was concerned that there were too many people present, so she waved to Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao saw that Meng Guxue had something to say, so she immediately turned around and said, "Dad, Sister Meng and I will go back in a carriage."

Qiao Zhongguo glanced at the two of them and nodded.

When Jiaojiao entered the carriage and the curtains were lowered, Meng Guxue hurriedly looked at Jiaojiao 360 degrees, then he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned softly against the wall of the carriage.

Jiaojiao was confused and worried, "Sister Meng, what's wrong with you?"

After Meng Guxue took a breath, she hurriedly leaned close to Jiaojiao. Her face turned pale and she lowered her voice and said:

"Jiaojiao, I was waiting for you to come back in the other courtyard, but I suddenly heard God cursing me!"

"Ah?" Jiaojiao was stunned by this meaningless sentence.

"Jiaojiao, really!"

Meng Guxue squeezed over, grabbed Jiaojiao's arm and put it in her arms, saying with a solemn expression:

"There was a thunder just now, right? Wasn't that thunder aimed at you?"

"Huh? Well, I was indeed struck by lightning just now..."

Jiaojiao suddenly had a guess in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Meng Guxue expectantly.

"Sister Meng, did you just say that God was cursing people? What was he cursing?"

Although it seems that the male protagonist is indeed more favored by Heaven, after all, Meng Guxue is also a well-deserved female protagonist in this world!

Although to Tiandao, Meng Guxue is already a "deviant" daughter...

But it was obvious that there were three thunders at Papi Ridge in front of them and one thunder in the southern suburbs behind them. No one else noticed it. Only Meng Guxue could see the difference.

Meng Guxue looked out cautiously, then leaned close to Jiaojiao's ear and whispered:

"It scolded: Zhuzi, if you dare to talk too much, kill me!"

"Jiaojiao, I really heard it! But when I asked A'Jie just now, A'Jie said that he only heard a thunderclap and no voice."

"When I thought about how unexpected the thunder was, and the disaster of your three years old weighing on my mind, I was so frightened that I quickly asked them to hitch a carriage and came over!"

"It's over, it's over, Jiaojiao, have you offended God somewhere?"

Jiaojiao: "..."

Good guy, this Tiandao even said hello before he attacked me. Is it because she couldn't hear him?

Seeing that Meng Guxue was already worried and panicking, Jiaojiao hurriedly took her hand and said with a relaxed look:

"Sister Meng, don't worry, I'm strong backstage! Look, that thunder just now can't hurt me at all!"

Jiaojiao raised her chin with a confident look on her face, which indeed made Meng Guxue gradually feel at ease.

"Jiaojiao, just hope you're okay! I was really worried just now. I was also wondering if it was because we traveled through time and space that this world could no longer tolerate us."

When Jiaojiao heard this, her brows were slightly touched.

In fact, from her perspective, Meng Guxue is also a character in the book. It was the author who gave her the status of a "traveler". Only then did Meng Guxue gain the same understanding of the future as she did.

But the Meng Guxue in front of her is so vivid and vivid, who can deny her reality?

As the male and female protagonists of this world, perhaps the biggest difference between her and Shen Yuanbai is that Meng Guxue has chosen this path based on his own will, while Shen Yuanbai is still being pushed forward.

Free will, so vague and elusive, has been embodied in Meng Guxue.

Thinking of this, Jiaojiao felt soft in her heart. She leaned into Meng Guxue's arms and said with a smile:

"Sister Meng, don't think too much, we have no control over it, just live a comfortable life for yourself!"

After hearing this, Meng Guxue also relaxed physically and mentally. She waved her hands, showing a risk-taking attitude.

"Hey, that's right! If this thunder really hits me, I won't be able to avoid it. The worst I can do is return it with a charred corpse. We will still be a good man in the next life!"

"Hahaha!"

When Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

Qiao Tianjing rode his horse to follow the carriage. Hearing Jiaojiao's unrestrained laughter coming from the carriage, his frown slightly relaxed, and he suddenly felt relieved.

Chapter 433: Bullshit!

Meng Guxue and Jiaojiao sat together for a while and then left.

She has decided to stay and be the wife of the king, so she has a lot to learn.

Shen Ningyun was about to escape. These days, she always took Meng Guxue and gave her instructions. She taught her too much, for fear that the complicated etiquette and rules would dampen Meng Guxue's temper. She taught her too little, and she was worried that Meng Guxue would have to deal with it in the future. Not coming.

Meng Guxue had good intentions, and she was not impatient. She used the same energy to study and patiently learned from Shen Ningyun.

Jiaojiao was sitting in the hall, sharing her conversation with Shen Yuanbai with her father and brother.

Of course, she withheld that part of the truth about the world.

After finishing speaking, Jiaojiao first glanced at Qiao Tianjing who was standing aside, but at this time, there was nothing strange about Qiao Tianjing's face.

After Qiao Zhongguo heard Shen Yuanbai's plan, he stood up and walked around for a few steps, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Boss, Jiaojiao, dad goes and writes a letter first!"

Qiao Zhongguo said, turned around and left the hall.

The hall fell silent for a moment. Jiaojiao hesitated for a while and then suddenly said: "Brother, as long as you ask me, I will answer whatever you ask me."

After hearing this, Qiao Tianjing turned to look at Jiaojiao, and when he saw Jiaojiao showing an uneasy expression, his face was full of emotion, but more importantly, it was tenderness and relief.

He walked forward in three or two steps, hugged Jiaojiao, and then said warmly:

"Little sister, if big brother is not real, then who is holding you right now?"

Jiaojiao opened her mouth slightly when she heard this.

If she had only had a vague guess just now, Qiao Tianjing's words at this moment had already confirmed everything.

She should have noticed it a long time ago. The eldest brother has been with her day and night and is the most intelligent and transparent person. He must have noticed the clues long ago.

Just now in the pavilion, she triggered the thunder from the sky, and Shen Yuanbai smiled so desolately. The eldest brother would not miss such a scene.

Seeing Jiaojiao's shocked look, Qiao Tianjing immediately raised his hand and rubbed her little head.

In fact, he had a doubt in his mind a long time ago.

From the younger sister's voice, he heard weird ideas about male protagonist, female protagonist, plot, and so on.

Then as his little sister talked about the future in his heart again and again, he came up with an extremely absurd conjecture——

All of them seemed to have their endings decided early. It was more like the younger sister had read through their lives and then got involved and led them to change their destiny.

Sometimes sitting quietly in the study, he couldn't help but think about how their lives were displayed in front of his little sister. Is it a painting? a book? Or a scene?

So, who are they? Ink line? text? Or a puppet?

He did not dare to think deeply, and was even afraid of the truth, but as time passed and the fate of the Qiao family was changed, he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

If the Qiao family was destined to be wiped out from the beginning, then every tiny effort he made would push the whole family in a good direction.

They have broken away from that established future. What could be more real than a new destiny gained through struggle?

Just now in the pavilion, thunder was rushing down from the sky. At that moment, he had a glimmer of understanding. He seemed to have a glimpse of the power that framed their lives.

He was not timid, he ran towards his little sister without hesitation, and even if he faced that weird power, he would not give in even an inch.

With his thoughts at this point, Qiao Tianjing's gentle face was full of open-mindedness and transparency, and he said with a smile:

"Little sister, my eldest brother is holding you, the one he loves the most, in his arms right now. We are making plans together and protecting our family. If this is not true, then what else is true in the world?"

When Jiaojiao heard this, she was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.

Only then did she realize belatedly that the first awakened free soul had actually been by her side all along, and it was her gentle but calm and reserved elder brother!

"Brother, it's true, it's all true!"

Jiaojiao was so excited that her eyes were a little red, and she looked at Qiao Tianjing and nodded repeatedly.

This is what she has cultivated in two lifetimes. It is an extremely precious family!

"Well, big brother knows, big brother knows..."

Qiao Tianjing gently stroked Jiaojiao's back. He felt extremely fond of Jiaojiao but also full of guilt.

Always holding on to such a big secret and thinking so hard for her family, my younger sister has always been the one who has been working the hardest.

What Jiaojiao was thinking was that her eldest brother had been secretly confused for a long time. He might have been deeply confused as well, but just because she didn't tell her, her eldest brother never came to ask.

He covered up all doubts and fears and devoted all his efforts to planning and calculation, but never forgot his original intention and bottom line.

The eldest brother is truly the most worthy gentleman she has ever seen.

The brother and sister understood and admired each other. Outside the living room, Qiao Zhongguo, who had stayed for a long time, finally left quietly.

The corners of his mouth were raised high, with relief for the pair of children in the hall, but also with a ruthless air.

He, Qiao Zhongguo, had fought his way up from the battlefield. His bravery and loyalty were genuine, as were his abilities!

"The way of heaven" can determine his life or death, but it can't break his pride and take away his ability!

Not to mention that now, with the help of Jiaojiao, the Qiao family has already found a new path!

What is "the way of heaven"?

No shit!

Qiao Zhongguo snorted coldly and walked to the study room with high spirits.

Little did Jiaojiao know that not only her eldest brother but also her father who was eavesdropping outside the house were the ones who discovered the truth...

The next few days were uneventful, and the letters from here had not yet been sent home, but the letters from the Yong Dynasty capital had already arrived.

Jiaojiao flipped the package, oh, it's full!

Who brought so many letters?

When I opened it, I saw two letters from my mother, two letters from my sister-in-law, and eight letters from my second brother? Small forty letters?

Qiao Zhongguo: "..."

Do these two little brats have so much to say?

Jiaojiao picked up a letter casually, it was from Qiao Diyi, and the envelope said "Dearly addressed to me by my little sister".

Jiaojiao opened the letter expectantly, and Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing also came over.

The letter was unfolded, and what came into view was a scrawled crying face, and a sentence squeezed in the corner:

"Ah, little sister, if you don't come back, my second brother and I will be annoyed to death by that boy Xiaosi! He has been crying in front of me all day long, causing me to shed tears twice."

I added another sentence at the end: "This letter cannot be seen by Xiao Si..."

Suddenly, the image of her second brother and her fourth brother standing in line wiping their tears flashed through Jiaojiao's mind, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, there's another scroll of painting here!"

Jiaojiao unfolded it with excitement on her face. The painting showed a round-headed little boy with a very cute expression sticking out his tongue!

"Ah! Daddy, eldest brother, it's Xiao Mingpei!"

Seeing Qiao Mingpei's portrait, the three people present turned into gentle faces at the same time.

Ah, I feel like I'm home at this moment...

Chapter 434 It's not the next life, it's this life

The birthday banquet for the leader of the Nanli Kingdom on September 23 was still very grand, but the state of the leader was really not decent.

He was still sitting high on the dragon chair, but now his eyes were crooked, his mouth was crooked, his face was ferocious, and he completely lost the majesty of a king of a country.

The wife of the king claimed to be ill and did not attend. If this matter had happened in the past, she would have been charged with disrespect.

But she is now the Queen Mother-to-be, and her own son is about to succeed to the throne. Who dares to say anything?

Especially now, there are rumors in the capital that the death of Mr. Shen has had a huge impact on the wife of the king, causing her to be depressed and unable to cure it!

The wives who came to see him all looked horrified when they returned home, saying that the former noble and beautiful wife of the king looked like a flower withering before her eyes.

It is said that the divine doctor Zou from the Yong Dynasty was also summoned to the palace to show his wife, but no good news was ever sent. From the looks of it, it seems that the situation is hanging...

Therefore, many people secretly said that the wife of the king was really unlucky. She had been remarried for more than ten years and finally got through it, but she did not have such a blessed life!

When Jiaojiao heard the news, she was secretly happy for the king's wife.

Baili Chengyou also had good intentions. Now that the news has been released, I think the day when Madam will be free is not far away!

————

Three days later, September 26th, was the big day for Baili Chengyou to ascend the throne.

The enthronement ceremony of the new king of Nanli Kingdom is very different from that of Yong Kingdom. As the envoys of other countries, the Qiao family can only observe the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Jiaojiao was sitting next to her eldest brother, looking up at the high sacrificial platform in the distance, her face slightly solemn.

【Sacrifice to heaven...don't give me a moth in a moment, bah bah bah! Hit the mouth! 】

Jiaojiao quickly raised her hand and slapped herself in the mouth.

Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing on the side heard Jiaojiao's thoughts. Although their expressions did not change, they could not help but look up at the sky, with worries in their eyes.

Boom——

At this time, a heavy drum beat sounded, and the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was about to begin!

Jiaojiao hurriedly stretched her neck to look at Tongtianmen, and saw a group of people walking in in an orderly manner, surrounded by Baili Chengyou and Meng Guxue, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Jiaojiao's eyes lit up several times when she saw this well-matched young couple!

Yesterday, Meng Guxue looked at Kong and went to the other courtyard. As soon as he arrived, he held her hand tightly and kept mumbling:

"Jiaojiao, I'm scared! I'm scared! How can I, a crispy college student who can choke to death when drinking water, become the mother of a country?"

"Jiaojiao, does your golden finger have the ability to make people smaller? Just make me smaller and take me away in your pocket. I will live in your pocket for the rest of my life!"

Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this, "Sister Meng, if you run away from the battle at this time, Baili Chengyou will tear you apart, right?"

"Come on, come on, Sister Meng, let me give you some gifts!"

Jiaojiao suddenly took out two "rebound" talismans from her arms, which she had prepared for Meng Guxue a long time ago. Even if Meng Guxue didn't come to find them today, Jiaojiao would still ask someone to send them to the palace.

Jiao Jiaozi introduced the function and usage of the rebound talisman in detail. Meng Guxue's mouth opened slightly. When she looked up at Jiao Jiao, she couldn't help but have red eyes.

"Jiaojiao, I didn't mean that."

Jiaojiao grinned when she heard this, "Sister Meng, what are you thinking about! I am willing to give it to you. I hope Sister Meng will always be well!"

When Meng Guxue heard this, her mouth dropped slightly, then she leaned forward and hugged Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao had hidden worries in her heart, so she didn't hide it. She raised her hand and patted Meng Guxue's shoulder, and softly comforted:

"Sister Meng, don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."

"Didn't lightning strike me that day? I don't know what kind of accidents will happen in tomorrow's heaven-sacrifice ceremony."

"If lightning strikes you at that time, you and Baili Chengyou can each use one. I tried it that day and the "Rebound Talisman" is enough."

Meng Guxue trembled slightly when she heard this, and then she realized Jiaojiao's good intentions.

Seeing Jiaojiao looking at her firmly, Meng Guxue slowly put away her timidity and nodded solemnly.

Before Meng Guxue appeared today, Jiaojiao had been worried about her.

But looking over at this moment, Meng Guxue was wearing a phoenix crown and phoenix robe, walking side by side on the main road with Baili Chengyou, her steps were steady and calm, she really looked like the mother of the country!

【ah! Sister Meng became angry! 】

Jiaojiao was excited and moved at the same time.

The guard of honor stopped under the sacrificial platform. At this time, Baili Chengyou turned sideways slightly and stretched out his hand towards Meng Guxue.

Meng Guxue abandoned all distracting thoughts along the way and focused on her manners. When she saw the hand stretched out in front of her, her mind was slightly distracted, and then she felt that her feet were a little weak.

She raised her head and glanced at the top of the altar, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"Xue'er?" Baili Chengyou turned his head to look at Meng Guxue and called out in a low voice.

Meng Guxue came to her senses after hearing the sound and took Baili Chengyou's hand without hesitation.

Baili Chengyou felt the warmth in his hands, and his slightly frowned eyebrows instantly relaxed.

He thought just now... Xueer regretted it.

The emperor and the empress climbed up the thirty-three steps, each of which had its own meaning.

In the tradition of Nanli Kingdom, the emperor and the queen must join hands on the altar to worship the ancient gods of heaven and earth. Only in this way can they prove that they are destined by destiny.

Baili Chengyou knew that Meng Guxue was not good at martial arts, and it would be extremely hard to climb the steps wearing this phoenix crown and robe, so he held Meng Guxue's hand and exerted a little force in order to give her some strength and support.

Meng Guxue was preoccupied when she suddenly felt Baili Chengyou's kindness and her heart suddenly warmed up.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the top of the sacrifice platform. There...maybe there was a "death disaster" for her and Baili Chengyou?

Meng Guxue was not sure, so she immediately pinched the "rebound charm" given by Jiaojiao in her sleeve, and then she felt more at ease.

At this time, Baili Chengyou's deep voice suddenly sounded: "Don't be afraid, I have everything."

Meng Guxue turned her head to look at him when she heard this, and met Baili Chengyou's smiling eyes.

"Xue'er, this...is our next life, right? You see, you and I have never broken our promises."

When Meng Guxue heard this, the scene in her dream flashed back in her mind. Baili stood in front of her, losing his energy and saying to her disheartenedly:

"If you can, leave your next life to me..."

At this moment, Meng Guxue's heart trembled, and she felt a mysterious feeling inexplicably.

It was as if she had gone around in circles, and now she finally broke free from some constraints and walked out on a completely different path!

"Baili, not the next life."

Meng Guxue spoke softly. She was so blessed that her eyes couldn't help but get brighter and brighter at this moment.

"That dream may have deep meaning, but it definitely does not represent our life. So Baili, I have decided to be with you from the beginning of this life!"

As soon as Meng Guxue finished speaking, a thunder sounded from the horizon without any warning, making everyone tremble!

Jiaojiao stood up suddenly.

Could it be that "Tiandao" is going to do it again?

Chapter 435 Reborn

All the civil and military officials, guards, eunuchs and maids beside the sacrificial platform all changed their expressions!

The day to worship the heaven was chosen by the Qin Tian Jian. It must be a sunny and good weather. Now the thunder suddenly started. Could it be...could it have any deep meaning?

You must know that since ancient times, only kings with improper positions and unworthy morals will be disobedient to God and incur divine punishment!

At this time, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous, and even thought of the rumors about the undercurrent in Beijing some time ago.

It is said that His Highness was wrongly accused. His Highness wanted to seize the throne, so he deliberately tried to pin the charge of rebellion on His Highness. Even the fact that the king suffered a stroke was very fishy!

As soon as the thunder came out, people's hearts were instantly dispersed.

Meng Guxue was so shaken by the thunder that the hairs all over her body almost stood up!

coming!

Jiaojiao was really fooled, Lei was really going to kill her!

why? Because of the enlightenment that just came into her mind? Because she felt as if she had been stripped of some kind of shackles?

If God is so angry with shame, can it be proved that the sky above her head is what has been restraining her?

Meng Guxue's thoughts reached this point, and the sky thundered again!

Everyone couldn't help but murmur, and the scene suddenly became a bit chaotic!

Baili Chengyou frowned. He knew better than anyone else the consequences of incurring divine punishment when offering sacrifices to heaven.

From today on, he may be able to hold on to his position as the leader of the country with iron-blooded means, but he will always be criticized by civil and military officials and the people of Nanli!

Why?

He clearly ascended the throne in the dream and did not incur divine punishment. The only thing...the only thing that didn't happen was——

Baili Chengyou suddenly turned his head and looked at the pale-faced Meng Guxue beside him, and he had a guess in his mind.

Meng Guxue is special. She once said frankly that she came from "time travel". Baili Chengyou didn't understand this word, but he could vaguely guess that Meng Guxue was not from this world.

So at this moment, is it possible that God is rejecting her?

But why is it that Meng Guxue and Shen Yuanbai are destined to be together, a match made in heaven, while being with Baili Chengyou is such a match that God cannot tolerate!

Meng Guxue felt a hint of fear in her heart at this time. When she first came through, she was extremely arrogant and thought that she was the destined daughter of this world.

She had long given up on the idea of overestimating her abilities, but now God used thunder to tell her that she was indeed special, but she was not the daughter of destiny, but the daughter of bad luck!

Ahhhh! She was so unlucky that she seemed to be targeted by heaven!

Meng Guxue panicked. She pinched her sleeves and tightly held the life-saving charm given by Jiaojiao in her hand.

Just when she was hesitating whether to pull Baili Chengyou to run down the stairs, Baili Chengyou grabbed her hand and continued walking upwards.

Meng Guxue's expression suddenly changed. She was about to tell Baili Chengyou the seriousness of the matter, but Baili Chengyou had already said in a deep voice:

"If it can't tolerate you, it's useless no matter where you hide."

"Xue'er, although I am a mortal, if the divine punishment falls soon, I will protect you as soon as possible."

"This is my promise to you. I, Baili Chengyou, always keep my word."

Baili Chengyou never turned his head. He led Meng Guxue up the stairs step by step with determination, and he also had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.

He can't retreat, otherwise the people of Nanli will be distracted and the people will be panicked, which will lead to chaos!

He couldn't retreat, because at this moment, he felt so clearly that once he let go, he might lose Meng Guxue forever!

This seemed to be God's arrangement, but why did God impose its will on Baili Chengyou?

He has his own choice!

Meng Guxue followed Baili Chengyou's footsteps in a daze. She could feel that Baili Chengyou held her hand so tightly that it almost hurt her.

But looking at Baili Chengyou's resolute profile, Meng Guxue's eyes couldn't help but overflow with light, and her steps became faster.

She had already said that if the thunder were to strike her, the worst possible outcome would be a charred corpse, not to mention that she was still holding the life-saving amulet given by Jiaojiao in her sleeve!

"Baili, I believe you!"

Meng Guxue responded solemnly and took the initiative to catch up with Baili Chengyou.

Baili Chengyou turned his head when he heard this, and the moment their eyes met, they actually smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

The next moment, they finally crossed the last step and reached the top of the sacrifice platform!

Everyone under the altar held their breath. They saw the emperor slowly turning around, seemingly unaffected by the thunder.

But just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a loud thunder exploded above their heads, and then silver light roared down and went straight to the top of the sacrifice platform!

"ah--"

Exclamations and screams sounded at the same time, and the silver light was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open your eyes!

Meng Guxue's pupils shrank suddenly when she saw this. Baili Chengyou seemed to have been prepared for this. At this time, he reacted very quickly and pulled Meng Guxue into his arms.

His generous body gathered around Meng Guxue's head, holding up the sky for her, just as he had just promised.

Meng Guxue was so scared that she was trembling all over, but her mind was very clear. Almost at the same time, she put her right hand on Baili Chengyou's waist.

Boom——

The thunder and thunderbolts at such a close distance really frightened everyone's courage!

Everyone hugged their heads and fell to the ground, not daring to look directly at Tianwei, until a childish voice sounded that was incomparable with this shocking scene:

"Sister Meng!"

Everyone was frightened and looked up instinctively, only to see the emperor and empress hugging each other at the top of the sacrificial platform. The awe-inspiring lightning seemed to be bounced off after falling on them, and it quickly shot out in all directions. And out!

At this moment, a dazzling purple electric flower seemed to be blooming on the altar!

After a few breaths, the thunder stopped and the purple light dissipated. When they saw the emperor and empress still standing there intact, everyone was shocked by this strange scene and opened their mouths wide.

Baili Chengyou slowly raised his head, his face also showed deep shock and confusion.

After Meng Guxue came to her senses, she immediately looked at Jiaojiao on the auditorium.

After escaping from death, Meng Guxue could no longer bear it when she saw Jiaojiao's figure from a distance, and she burst into tears at this moment.

This is an indescribable feeling, as if she has been struggling all the time since time travel, and finally at this moment she is reborn!

From now on, every day she spends in this world will be free and real, completely belonging to her, Meng Guxue!

Baili Chengyou felt Meng Guxue trembling and quickly hugged her closer. At this moment, even he felt a sense of solidity.

He took a deep breath, lowered his eyes to look at the chaos in the audience, his eyebrows were firm, and he spoke in a stern voice:

"Now that Gu has ascended the throne, I am here to congratulate you. It can be seen that Gu succeeded to this position in compliance with God's will. From now on, God will bless our Nanli people to live and work in peace and contentment, and bless our Nanli country to have prosperous fortunes and long-lasting blessings!"

Everyone in the audience was already shocked by the scene just now. The emperor and empress were unharmed under the thunder. What could be more convincing than witnessing this scene with their own eyes?

The next moment, everyone bowed to the ground respectfully again and shouted in unison:

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The shouts were deafening, echoing around the Tiantian Sacrifice Platform, no less than the sound of thunder just now.

Chapter 437 Returning home!

After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony ended, the two delegations left the palace under the guidance of palace officials.

After returning to the other courtyard, Qiao Zhongguo discussed the return date with his two children.

"Boss, Jiaojiao, Nanli is now settled, and the mission assigned by His Majesty during this trip has been successfully completed. It seems like we can set a return date."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Tianjing and Jiaojiao looked urgent at the same time.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo waved his long sleeves and said, "Okay, you two are very attached to the family. Dad will go to the study to draft a letter and send a letter of resignation to the leader of Nanli Kingdom tomorrow!"

Qiao Zhongguo said and strode out. He was still reserved at first, but he could barely run out of the hall.

When Jiaojiao saw this, she laughed so much that she covered her stomach.

Don't think he doesn't know that all the letters written by his mother have been rubbed and fluffed by his father!

She got up early two days ago, went into her father's room, and oh, the letter was spread out on the bedside. She might have read it over and over a hundred and eighty times before falling asleep last night!

Qiao Tianjing also had a smile in his eyes. He kissed Jiaojiao in his arms, his face full of emotion.

When he returns home this time, Pei'er will definitely not remember him.

Xian'er... I don't know if Xian'er had a good rest. Before leaving, she told Xian'er to put herself first. I'm afraid she didn't listen well.

Once his thoughts turned to home, he wished he could have wings on his back. The next morning, Qiao Zhongguo handed his letter of resignation to the palace as expected.

Meng Guxue had a busy day yesterday and had a sleepless night. As soon as she woke up, she heard Xiao Tao say that the Qiao family was resigning.

When Meng Guxue heard the news, she felt like she was struck by lightning!

When she rushed to the other courtyard in a hurry and saw the Qiao family packing their luggage, her tears rolled down her eyes.

Jiaojiao had been waiting for Meng Guxue. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly went out to greet her. When she saw that Meng Guxue had burst into tears, she felt both distressed and funny at the same time.

"Sister Meng, you are the wife of the king now, so you don't want to be like this."

"Ah! Jiaojiao! I just want to stay with you forever!"

Meng Guxue stepped forward and picked up Jiaojiao, howling so hard that her heart was broken. Aja, who was following behind, had never seen Meng Guxue like this before and was so frightened that his eyes almost bulged out.

Upon seeing this, Jiaojiao immediately led Meng Guxue into the house and comforted her with gentle words for a long time before she stopped Meng Guxue's tears.

"Jiaojiao, do you really not have a free door? The kind where once the door is opened, you can spend time with me from 1 to 35, and you can spend 2 to 46 with your family."

Meng Guxue asked pitifully with tears in her eyes.

Jiaojiao couldn't stop laughing, "Sister Meng, if I had such a good thing, I could spend twelve hours a day with you."

Meng Guxue also knew that she was fanciful, but when she thought of the Qiao family leaving Nanli Country, she felt empty in her heart.

Because in her eyes, Qiao Zhongguo is the guide who changes her, and Jiaojiao is the intimate person who accompanies and helps her along the way.

When it comes to separation, let alone Meng Guxue, even Jiaojiao has a sore nose and wants to shed tears.

When she was just pregnant, she faced Meng Guxue as if she were facing a formidable enemy. Who would have thought that the two of them would become close friends now?

"Sister Meng, Nanli will be your home from now on. Feel free to show your ambitions here!"

"I have a hunch that the emperor's brother will definitely reach an alliance with Baili Chengyou. After the Northern Kingdom issue is resolved, perhaps the world in the future will be what you and I expect, a truly peaceful and prosperous age!"

When Meng Guxue heard this, she couldn't help but feel heroic and ambitious in her heart, and nodded heavily.

"Jiaojiao, I will definitely not disgrace our time-travelers. The children who grew up under the red flag are straight-backed!"

Two days later, on September 29, the envoys of the Yong Dynasty finally set off to return home.

Meng Guxue insisted on sending it to Papi Ridge in person, but Baili Chengyou was very conniving and agreed without hesitation.

So Meng Guxue happily and Jiaojiao were inseparable for another five days, and the group arrived at the border of Nanli Kingdom.

Here, it's time to say goodbye.

Although they had been prepared in their hearts, Meng Guxue and Jiaojiao still missed the golden bean at this moment.

The two of them were reluctant to leave, when suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves behind them, and it was Baili Chengyou who came over in person.

Jiaojiao was originally worried that Meng Guxue would be lonely and lonely all the way back, but now that Baili Chengyou came to pick her up, she felt much relieved instantly.

Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing came forward, exchanged a few words with Baili Chengyou, and everyone said goodbye to each other.

Qiao Tianjing took Jiaojiao from Meng Guxue's arms and said warmly to Meng Guxue: "Miss Meng, take care."

Meng Guxue burst into tears and nodded heavily to Qiao Tianjing.

"Brother Qiao, take care. Thank you for all your teachings along the way. If I can learn a little bit, I will be able to gain a lot of insight."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Zhongguo beside her.

Qiao Zhongguo had a smile on his face, and his eyes were as gentle as looking at a junior.

Meng Guxue met Qiao Zhongguo's gaze, her heart suddenly felt sour, and she said sincerely:

"Master Qiao, Xue'er doesn't know what to say, but you are indeed like a father in Xue'er's heart."

"You were the one who lit a bright light for Xue'er in the fog. Xue'er will never forget such kindness."

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he was filled with emotions. He witnessed Meng Guxue's growth all the way, step by step.

"Ms. Meng, go where your heart is and go. Don't hesitate or doubt from now on. Just keep going as firmly as ever."

Meng Guxue's eyes were sore after hearing these instructions, and she nodded heavily.

She finally looked at Jiaojiao, and the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes and smiled, saying nothing.

Yong Chao and his party got on their horses and carriages and set off again.

At this time, Jiaojiao suddenly thought of something and hurriedly leaned out of the car window and waved to Meng Guxue who was standing there:

"Sister Meng, don't forget the tips bag I gave you. Take care! Sister Meng!"

Meng Guxue covered her chest when she heard this. There was lying quietly a delicately embroidered brocade bag, given to her by Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, I remember! You should also take care of yourself!"

Meng Guxue cried loudly and waved her arms desperately.

Baili Chengyou stood next to Meng Guxue, seeing this scene, he was filled with emotions.

Seeing Qiao Jiaojiao's figure gradually disappearing into the wind and sand, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It would be great if she was born in my Nanli Shen family..."

Baili Chengyou never avoided Meng Guxue's words. When Meng Guxue heard these words, her waving arms suddenly stiffened and she immediately turned to look at Baili Chengyou.

Baili Chengyou looked at Meng Gu's horrified face amid the rain, and embraced her with a smile.

"She is very clever. Fang Chang also gave me a meaningful look. She knew very well that I must have guessed it a long time ago. You are the only one who is still stupid and stupid, thinking that I am kept in the dark."

When Meng Guxue heard this, her mouth opened wide in shock.

What? Jiaojiao already knew that Baili Chengyou had guessed it?

"Then...this...you..."

Baili Chengyou knew Meng Guxue's worries. He shook his head gently and raised his lips with a smile:

"You really have your elbows turned out. Are you worried that I will hurt her?"

"She woke up after saving my mother, kept you safe, and helped us avoid God's punishment. It would be unjust for me to repay such kindness with revenge."

"I'm just sorry. It's a pity that the Shen family didn't get this divine help, but it's time to be content..."

Baili Chengyou finished speaking with some sadness, and then he picked up the stunned Meng Guxue onto the horse, and the two of them rode together and headed south.

Meng Guxue turned her head and took one last look at the sand and afterimages behind her. Her heart was sour, but it was no longer empty, but filled to the brim.

It's time to walk the next road on your own!

An unknown life, a brand new chapter, she wants to carve out her own world in this world with the blessings of Master Qiao and Jiaojiao!

"Baili, let's go home!"

Baili Chengyou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard Meng Guxue's high-spirited tone.

He hummed in a low voice, held the man in his arms tightly, and sped away southward from the capital.

Go home!

Chapter 436: Blood and flesh

When Jiaojiao saw this, she finally let out a long breath.

[Fortunately, I was careful early, otherwise if something happened to Sister Meng today, I would really regret it. 】

Jiaojiao slowly sat back, and when she looked up at the young couple standing side by side on the altar, the smile on her lips could no longer be suppressed.

[I have to say that Baili Chengyou's reaction was really quick. "Tiandao" completely shot himself in the foot this time, haha! 】

[Look at the current reputations of Baili Chengyou and Sister Meng. They are carefully selected by God and highly regarded by the public. Maybe they will be praised as a good story! 】

At this time, the ears were filled with the sound of "Long Live" shouted by the people of Nanli. The sound was uniform and deafening. Even Jiaojiao was excited by this scene.

Ding ding ding——

At this moment, the very familiar system prompt sounded again!

Jiaojiao was shocked. Could it be that she had unlocked some hidden reward?

She couldn't wait to call out the Merit Mall, and a few big characters instantly came into view -

"As careful as hair, help the girl of destiny break away from the shackles of heaven, merit +1000."

When Jiaojiao saw this, she almost jumped up from where she was!

Very good, another sentence with an explosion of information, and it finally pointed her to a clear path!

It seems that the ultimate goal of this time travel may be to completely separate this world from the plot and become a real world that operates independently!

ah! The old King of Hell was the one who tricked her into "working"!

But fortunately, this is what she wants, and she will do her best to get it!

Now, Jiaojiao only has one question...

Why is Sister Meng not as valuable as Shen Yuanbai! ! !

It was promised to be a sweet doting article on a female channel, but it turns out that the biological son of "Tiandao" is indeed Shen Yuanbai!

Jiaojiao snorted in her heart, but when she saw the merit point in the upper right corner of the mall, she almost burst into laughter.

3163ah!

But it's too bad for her!

Jiaojiao was happy when Qiao Zhongguo suddenly hugged Jiaojiao into his lap.

Jiaojiao was brought back to her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw her father winking at her.

Jiaojiao was confused in her heart. She followed Qiao Zhongguo's line of sight and saw a person standing in the corner of the Northland Mission.

He had an upright appearance, and there was nothing special about him, but Jiaojiao didn't know why, but she immediately noticed that he was unusual.

Jiaojiao was slightly startled and looked up at Qiao Zhongguo as if asking for confirmation. Qiao Zhongguo had already nodded meaningfully.

He had long recognized the faces of every envoy from the Northern Kingdom, but this was the only one he knew today, and he stood up now, which made him look even more abrupt.

Jiaojiao received a positive answer and sighed secretly in her heart: [It's Shen Yuanbai...]

He actually came here in disguise today to participate in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony!

Since it was a disguise, He should keep a low profile and be careful. Shen Yuanbai had never made any mistakes in this regard.

But this time, Shen Yuanbai lost his composure.

He stood firmly in the corner, looking up at Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou on the memorial platform, his figure seemed to be frozen.

Because of the human skin mask and the angle, Jiaojiao couldn't see Shen Yuanbai's true expression clearly, but upon closer inspection, Jiaojiao found that his arms were shaking!

Witnessing two lightning strikes in a short period of time was extremely shocking to Shen Yuanbai.

When the thunder struck Baili Chengyou and Meng Guxue just now, everyone was holding their heads and shouting, but he was the only one who watched steadily without even blinking.

At that moment, he vaguely heard an angry roar coming from the thunder and lightning, as if to say - "deprive the destiny"?

But the next moment the thunder and lightning suddenly dispersed, exactly the same as what was seen in the sun pavilion that day.

Shen Yuanbai knew in his heart that Qiao Jiaojiao would not sit still and wait for death.

After the thunder dispersed, he didn't know if it was his misunderstanding. They were still so far away, but the faces of Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou suddenly became much more solid in his eyes.

He could even clearly see Baili Chengyou being confused and then suddenly confident, and seeing Meng Guxue burst into tears but relieved.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have broken through some kind of shackles at the same time and became so vivid and bright.

Shen Yuanbai couldn't help but tremble his hands. He knew that Meng Guxue was supposed to be a pair with him and knew the nature of this world.

But it was obvious that Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou had completely escaped that destined fate.

This resistance made the two of them seem to have given birth to new flesh and blood, turning from pale and numb puppets into living people.

Could it be that this is what Qiao Jiaojiao calls free will?

Shen Yuanbai couldn't describe his mood at this moment. He was as still as a rotten tree, but there was a storm inside.

Qiao Jiaojiao is right, sobriety is painful.

Even though he has a rebellious nature and prides himself on being strong, he still seems to have experienced Ling Chi in the past few days, suffering from confusion and doubting everything.

It wasn't until he witnessed today's scene that he realized that maybe only on the day when the thunder came, could he give birth to flesh and blood at will and feel the so-called freedom.

Even if he has no shelter, he will face the last moment of his life...

With his thoughts at this point, Shen Yuanbai finally suppressed the trembling of his limbs. The brightness and madness in his brows were intertwined with each other, extremely contradictory. Finally, they all became silent and sat back calmly.

Shen Yuanbai knew that Qiao Jiaojiao was not far away. Perhaps she had noticed that he was looking here in disguise, but Shen Yuanbai never looked over.

Because he knew that just as he had no intention of killing Qiao Jiaojiao now, Qiao Jiaojiao would not take the initiative to kill him.

Rather than erasing each other, fighting the game to the end and witnessing the outcome is more like their common pursuit now.

Furthermore, he didn't want to reveal his emotions, because at this moment, maybe even he had red eyes and mixed emotions.

Jiaojiao looked at it for a while, and when she saw Shen Yuanbai sitting back in silence again, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between her and Shen Yuanbai.

The emperor and empress burned incense and worshiped the heaven at the same time, and the ceremony of worshiping the heaven came to an end.

Baili Chengyou led Meng Guxue down from the sacrificial platform one step at a time.

At this time, Meng Guxue was still immersed in her own thoughts. She was vaguely aware of the strangeness of this world, but she couldn't describe it.

She was anxious in her heart and wished she could fly to Jiaojiao immediately to discuss it.

But now she is still in front of all the civil and military officials. As the wife of the king, she has the responsibility to complete the important ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue took a long breath, abandoned all distracting thoughts, straightened her posture, and walked down step by step calmly.

Although Baili Chengyou's face was calm, his eyes were full of thoughtfulness.

The reason for the divine scourge has been found, but what about the reason why he and Xue'er were able to escape the scourge?

The "thunder coming to congratulate" just now was just a pretentious statement he said. He knew very well that there must be a secret in it.

At this time, Baili Chengyou naturally thought of that night in the other courtyard, when Meng Guxue was hit by Shen Yuanbai's hidden dagger but remained unscathed.

He actually had a guess in his mind, but it wasn't until this moment that his guess was truly confirmed.

Thinking of this, Baili Chengyou glanced at the viewing platform of the Yong Dynasty mission, and then quickly looked back...

Chapter 437 Returning home!

After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony ended, the two delegations left the palace under the guidance of palace officials.

After returning to the other courtyard, Qiao Zhongguo discussed the return date with his two children.

Baili Chengyou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard Meng Guxue's high-spirited tone.

He hummed in a low voice, held the man in his arms tightly, and rushed south away from the capital.

Go home!

Chapter 438 Jiaojiao comes home

In October, the autumn air is crisp.

When they first set out for Nanli, the team walked slowly and leisurely, carrying rich gifts, and even leisurely enjoying the scenery along the way.

Now that he is back home, although he still brings the return gift from the Nanli royal family, the wheels are spinning fast.

Along the way, her delicate little butt almost buckled into four pieces, but she felt at home and had long forgotten her fatigue.

On October 20, the last stop before entering Beijing finally came into view.

Jiaojiao was so excited that she couldn't wait to open the curtain and saw two familiar figures riding towards them.

"father!"

"Master!"

The shouts rang out at the same time, and the two conspicuous people rushing over were undoubtedly Qiao Diyi and Xiaosi who had been waiting here for a long time.

When Qiao Zhongguo heard the cry, his eyes fell on the faces of the two brats, and he felt a warmth in his heart.

I always find these two boys annoying when I'm around them on weekdays, but I miss them after not seeing each other for a long time.

With his thoughts at this point, Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand and waved at Qiao Diyi and Xiaosi, thinking to himself:

These two "good-for-nothings" would burst into tears when they arrived. As an elder, he had to be reserved and dignified.

Qiao Zhongguo quietly straightened his back on the horse. Seeing Qiao Diyi riding up to him, he lowered his voice and opened his mouth. Before he even uttered a single word, he instantly ate a mouthful of ashes!

I saw Qiao Diyi and Xiaosi walking around beside Qiao Zhongguo, and then ran towards the carriage behind them without hesitation.

"Little sister!"

"Sister Qiao!"

The cry rang out again, this time with sobs in his eyes.

Qiao Zhongguo: ⚆_⚆?

Jiaojiao couldn't wait to reach the car. She leaned out and was hugged by a strong force the next moment.

"Little sister!"

Qiao Diyi's strong arms picked up the delicate armpits and lifted her up at once. His face was filled with a smile, brighter than Nanli's Kuikui!

"Second brother! Jiaojiao misses you so much!"

(ᕑᗢᓫ∗)˒˚

Jiaojiao completely trusted Qiao Diyi, and now her whole body was in the air, looking like she was about to fly.

Xiaosi is still young, and his horse is not as tall as Qiao Diyi's, but now he can catch up, just in time to meet Jiaojiao's face with a wanton smile.

He arched his eyebrows and suddenly laughed.

That's great. Sister Qiao looks very happy.

Qiao Diyi hugged Jiaojiao tightly in his arms, rubbed Jiaojiao's little head desperately, and felt satisfied in his heart.

(*'꒳'*ﾉ(•͈⌔•͈⑅)

Xiao Si watched eagerly from the sidelines. The brother and sister reunited, and he was too embarrassed to come forward to disturb them.

Jiaojiao was so rubbed that she burst into laughter. She turned her head and met Xiaosi's eyes. She arched her eyebrows and shouted: "Xiaosi, long time no see!"

Xiao Si felt sad, ah, Sister Qiao finally saw him!

"Sister Qiao, Xiaosi misses you very much. When you are not in the capital, Xiaosi doesn't think about food and tea—"

"Fake!"

Before Xiaosi could finish speaking, he was ruthlessly undermined by Qiao Diyi.

"Little sister, don't believe him, he ate at our house last night and ate three big bowls!"

Xiao Si's face turned red and he hurriedly explained:

"That's not the case. That's because Brother Qiao was too harsh on Xiaosi as a sparring partner, and he exhausted Xiaosi!"

Qiao Diyi raised his eyebrows, "Just tell me if you've eaten three bowls, right?"

Xiaosi: "......"

Seeing that Xiao Si was speechless, Qiao Diyi felt instantly relieved.

This guy is usually very talkative, he can't say anything, but look, in front of the little girl, he loses his temper!

"Little sister, the second brother is the one who misses you the most. If you don't think about food and tea, it's all too light. The second brother can't be motivated to do anything, and he doesn't even talk much-"

"Fake!"

Xiao Si saw the opportunity and hurriedly raised his voice to find a place.

"Sister Qiao, Brother Qiao, even if he encounters a dog at the gate of the palace, he can squat down and chat with it!"

Qiao Diyi: "..."

Okay, okay, hurt each other, right?

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the way Qiao Diyi and Xiaosi got along and couldn't help but look strange.

In just three months, the second brother and the mistress have become so good that they can wear the same pair of pants?

Next, after taking a short rest at the inn, Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing changed into official uniforms and entered the palace to take orders. Xiaosi followed them, while Qiao Diyi took Jiaojiao home.

The carriage drove all the way to Qiao Mansion, and Jiaojiao couldn't sit still in the carriage. For the first time in her life, she realized what it meant to be timid when close to home.

She opened the car curtain early, and soon the familiar street scene came into view. Turning the corner, she saw the gate of Qiao's Mansion, where someone was waiting early.

When Jiaojiao saw this, her eyes suddenly became sore, and she quickly shouted: "Mother! Sister-in-law!"

"Jiaojiao!"

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Qiao walked down the steps in a few steps, without caring about her manners, and walked directly to the carriage.

Her sweetheart had been away for three months, and almost half of her soul had left home with Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao walked to the car. Before she could stand still, Mrs. Qiao stood on tiptoe and held her tightly in her arms.

Jiaojiao buried her head in the crook of her mother's neck, breathing in the fragrance that was so familiar to her. Only at this moment did she truly feel at ease.

Back home, she really went home.

At this time, Hanya Xian behind her came up with Qiao Mingpei in her arms. Seeing Jiaojiao and Mrs. Qiao hugging each other tightly, she couldn't help but blush.

During these days, only she, who was also at home, knew best how much her mother missed and worried about her little sister.

"Mom, let's take my little sister into the house first." Hanya said warmly.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qiao finally came to her senses.

She raised her hand to caress her delicate little face, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.

"Yes, yes, my mother was so happy all of a sudden that she forgot that Jiaojiao must be very tired from running all the way."

Jiaojiao hurriedly shook her head when she heard this. She turned to look at Hanya Xian with bright eyes.

"I haven't seen you for three months, and my sister-in-law seems to have lost some weight. My brother will definitely be heartbroken when I see you again!"

As soon as Jiaojiao said this, Hanya Xian's cheeks immediately turned red and she whispered, "Little sister, please don't talk nonsense."

Mrs. Qiao smiled even more when she heard this. At this time, Qiao Diyi stopped his horse and came over, and the family walked inside laughing.

Jiaojiao looked at Qiao Mingpei, who looked like a tiger-headed man, and couldn't help but feel happy, "Xiao Mingpei, call me aunt!"

Qiao Mingpei was confused, tilted her head, and suddenly plunged into Hanya Xian's arms, leaving only Jiaojiao with a plump and round butt.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao almost couldn't help but want to poke her, when a voice came from behind:

"Jiaojiao!"

The voice was clear and joyful.

Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard the sound, and she immediately turned around and saw a carriage stopping at the door.

The handsome and calm Tan Hanchi was standing beside the car, reaching out his hand towards the car with a concerned look on his face.

At this time, the car curtain opened, and a beautiful woman leaned out. Her belly was slightly bulging, her eyebrows were quiet and bright, it was Zuo Anning.

Chapter 439 A wonderful man comes out of the Qiao family

"Cousin An Ning! Brother-in-law Tan!"

Jiaojiao was so happy that she immediately shouted loudly!

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Qiao put Jiaojiao down and gave a few instructions to the maid beside her.

I originally planned to invite everyone to my house tomorrow, but now it seems that Jiaojiao is too lovable, and everyone is expected to come today.

No matter what, Jie Feng Wash Chen is the most lively party, and besides, no one was able to catch up with Jiao Jiao's birthday party this year!

Jiao Jiao stepped forward to greet Zuo An Ning, and her pace quickly slowed down again.

She didn't know that cousin An Ning was pregnant. Looking at her belly, she must have been pregnant before she even set out.

Jiaojiao has a premonition that in a few years, there will be a bunch of brats following her!

"Congratulations to cousin An Ning, congratulations to brother-in-law Tan!"

Jiaojiao smiled and cupped her hands in style.

There was a blush on Zuo An Ning's face, and she leaned over slightly to touch Jiaojiao's head, "Jiaojiao, you are finally back, and you are so eager to see us all."

Tan Hanchi's eyebrows stretched and he actually returned Jiaojiao's bow.

When Jiaojiao saw Tan Hanchi's solemn look, she suddenly remembered that the couple had heard her voice.

Um......

"Come on, let's go in quickly!"

Jiaojiao quickly put aside this memory, smiled and took Zuo Anning's hand.

at this time--

"Jiaojiao!"

A voice came from the door again, clear and crisp.

Jiaojiao looked over and felt excited.

"Ah! Sister Xiao!"

Xiao Qianyue, who was wearing a red riding outfit, quickly dismounted from her horse, handed the reins to the servant of the Qiao Mansion beside her, and strode in, as if returning to her own home.

"Aunt Zuo, Qianyue comes first. My mother said that she will shamelessly come here soon."

Xiao Qianyue saluted Mrs. Qiao, her words were full of intimacy and very casual.

Mrs. Qiao had a smile on her lips, Qianyue, this girl is like a blazing fire, and she is the best at holding Erlang down!

"Okay, okay, come all, Aunt Zuo is getting ready!"

Qiao Diyi was putting his arms around Tan Hanchi's shoulders at this time. He hadn't said a few words yet when he saw Xiao Qianyue coming, his soul was taken away.

Tan Hanchi knew Qiao Diyi's character best and shook his head when he saw this.

One is Qiao Er and the other is Xiao Er. This pair is now famous in the capital.

"Let me weigh it first to see if Jiaojiao has lost weight!"

Xiao Qianyue stepped forward and picked up Jiaojiao. The strength was so strong that if Jiaojiao didn't hold on tightly, she would be thrown away.

Zuo Anning walked over with a smile. When Xiao Qianyue saw this, he quickly stopped his movements and said to Jiaojiao teasingly:

"An Ning is the most precious thing nowadays. I have to be honest around her."

Hearing this, Zuo Anning took Xiao Qianyue's arm with a smile on her face.

"We Qianyue talk about it, but in fact, we are the most reliable."

After hearing this, Jiaojiao nodded in approval.

Sister Xiao Er is an amazing girl. She has strategy and righteousness in her heart. She has always wanted to go to the battlefield to serve her family and country!

Seeing this, Hanya Xian hurriedly handed Qiao Mingpei to the nanny beside her and came over to hold the little sister.

"Come on, let's sit down in the mansion first. There's no point in standing here. It's just a good time for us to talk together and listen to my little sister's interesting stories about Nanli!"

Everyone was chatting and laughing as they walked inside. Mrs. Qiao counted on her fingers. It seemed like there was going to be a lot of fun in the house tonight!

————

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Shen Yuanzhan had already received the news, and when he saw Qiao Zhongguo walking into the hall with Qiao Tianjing, his eyebrows stretched and his eyes were full of intimacy.

Just as Qiao Zhongguo was about to kneel down and salute, Shen Yuanzhan had already walked around the long desk and stepped forward to hold his arm in person.

"My dear, you don't need to be polite. It's been a long journey and a long journey. Thank you for your hard work."

Qiao Zhongguo raised his head and looked at Shen Yuanzhan, his eyes bright, "It is a matter of ministerial duty to share the worries of the Holy One, and the word 'hard work' should not be used."

Shen Yuanzhan looked Qiao Zhongguo up and down and couldn't help but express emotion.

miss.

I miss Mr. Qiao's loud voice, I miss Mr. Qiao rolling around in the palace, and I miss the scene where the courtiers were so angry that they dared not speak.

With his thoughts at this point, Shen Yuanzhan turned to look at Qiao Tianjing aside.

Ah, another miss.

I miss Dalang's every word, I miss their monarchs and ministers discussing matters happily, and I miss that Dalang can perfectly solve all the tasks arranged.

The Qiao family is truly a treasure trove of wonderful people, and the entire family is a rarity!

Qiao Zhongguo didn't know that the young emperor was praising him fiercely in his heart. He was eager to give orders to the emperor and then go home to see his wife!

"Your Majesty, many things happened in Nanli during this trip. Fortunately, I did not betray the trust of your Majesty and brought back the good intentions of the Lord of Nanli."

Qiao Zhongguo bowed and recounted everything he had seen and heard in Nanli during these days.

A letter was actually sent back some time ago, but the inside story is too complicated to elaborate on in the letter.

When Shen Yuanzhan heard about the Nanli royal family's seizure of the heirloom, his expression was extremely complicated, and he obviously recalled certain past events.

When he heard that Shen Gaolang died for justice, Shen Yuanzhan also fell silent.

In a sense, the Shen family in Nanli really looks like the Qiao family from before.

"Your Majesty, the details are like this. I have been candid with the new ruler of Nanli, and he is wholeheartedly seeking peace, but——"

Shen Yuanzhan nodded when he heard the words, already understanding.

He has dealt with Baili Chengyou before, and he has a lot of ambition, magnanimity, and strategies. It is Nanli's blessing that such a person becomes the leader of the country.

If the Yong Dynasty wants to let go of the Northern Expedition, it must first reach an alliance with Nanli. Otherwise, if it falls into a situation of being attacked from both sides, it will be the people and soldiers of the Yong Dynasty who will suffer.

"Qiao Aiqing, I will send a special envoy to discuss this matter with the leader of the Nanli Kingdom in detail. Next, I have to work hard for Aiqing to take over the preparations for the war."

"Although the Northern Expedition has been tacitly understood among the royal families of the three countries, for the sake of the stability of the country, it is still not appropriate to announce it prematurely to avoid unrest in the hearts of the people."

After all, if the two countries want to form an alliance, it will inevitably involve the interests of many parties, and this effort will take a lot of time.

Qiao Zhongguo heard this and respectfully accepted the order. At this time, he finally talked about Shen Yuanbai who was fleeing in Nanli.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have not captured the fugitive Shen Yuanbai. At this time, he is probably on the way to the North with Che Hebi."

"However, there is an inside story. I heard that Che and Bi found an extremely precious secret medicine in Nanli that can help with pregnancy."

Shen Yuanzhan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and instantly understood the deep meaning of Qiao Zhongguo's words.

"It seems that there is still a fierce battle within the Northern Royal Family. Before reaching an alliance with Nanli, I will wait and see how far he can go."

Qiao Zhongguo saw that he had finished saying what needed to be said, and was about to leave when Shen Yuanzhan already said with a smile:

"Isn't Qiao Aiqing worried about returning home? Her toes have been pointing out of the palace just now."

Qiao Zhongguo: "..."

Is it that obvious?

Shen Yuanzhan said with a smile on his face:

"You two Qiao Qings, please go home quickly. Tonight...I will also take Xiaosi to see Jiaojiao."

That little girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's really weird..

Chapter 440 The shy and strange couple

Jiaojiao had an immersive experience of what it means to fall into a beauty nest.

On the left is the eldest sister-in-law, on the right is cousin An Ning, and opposite is sister Xiao Er. The three of them are talking to each other, laughing and fragrant, making Jiaojiao bewildered by her beauty.

Under the questioning of the three people, Jiaojiao talked about what happened in Nanli Kingdom and was praising Meng Guxue. At this time, a servant came to report that Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing had returned to their home.

When Hanya Xian heard this, even though she tried her best to restrain herself, there was still a hint of blush on her face.

When Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately stopped talking, her big dark eyes fell on Hanya Xian calmly.

She had just noticed that her sister-in-law had actually been absent-minded!

At this time, Zuo Anning and Xiao Qianyue also looked teasingly at the same time, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Qianyue was the most outspoken and said immediately: "Sister Han, we come to Qiao Mansion often. It's just like our own home. You don't need to be here to accompany us."

"They say a long break is better than a wedding. Go and meet your husband who is traveling far away. Maybe they are looking for you in the house!"

Xiao Qianyue's words really made Hanya blush.

Hearing this, Zuo Anning couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. No one could resist Qianyue's mouth, but today she was on Qianyue's side.

"That makes sense. Xian'er, please go quickly. My cousin has been talking about you so many times during this trip."

Jiaojiao smiled and hurriedly raised her hands to join in the fun: "I'm here to testify, brother misses his sister-in-law!"

Hanya Xian was teased repeatedly by the three people. She was so shy that she could not sit still, so she stood up immediately.

"You...you are really..."

Xiao Qianyue laughed loudly when she saw this, "Look at Sister Han's face!"

Han Yaxian was so embarrassed that when she passed by Xiao Qianyue, she gently tugged her cheek, "Okay, I'll keep it in mind. When we become a family, I'll laugh at you!" "

When Xiao Qianyue heard this, she suddenly fell silent with a guilty look on her face.

When Jiaojiao saw this sign, her eyes suddenly shone with light!

【what? What! Listening to what the sister-in-law means, is it possible that good things are about to happen for the second brother and the second sister Xiao? 】

Now Hanya Xian couldn't stay any longer. She turned around and told An Ning, who was now a twin, a few words in detail before leaving hurriedly with a blushing face.

Jiaojiao couldn't help but let out a hey when she saw this.

[The eldest brother and sister-in-law are notoriously shy couples. Even after giving birth to Xiao Mingpei, the couple still blushes at every turn. Ah - so innocent, it's so cute! 】

Han Yaxian walked all the way to Qingzhu Courtyard, her ears burning red. She was worried that others would notice something was wrong, so she tried to slow down her pace.

But at this moment, she couldn't suppress the joy and longing in her heart, so she still lifted the hem of her skirt and swayed it.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of Qingzhu Courtyard, the eldest maid immediately came up to her with a smile and said happily: "Young Madam, the eldest young master has returned and is waiting for you in the main room."

This time is the time for Qiao Mingpei to take a nap.

Hanya Xian took a breath and suppressed the heat on her face. She calmly held the hairpin on her head and nodded lightly.

"Well, there's no need to follow."

She gave a low order and walked inside. As soon as she entered the main room, she saw the man who was as clear as the moon among the pines.

He was sitting by the bed, looking intently at his sleeping son on the bed. From Hanya Xian's angle, he could only see his side face, elegant and easy-going, like a beautiful jade.

Hanya Xian's steps were already very light, but she still alarmed Qiao Tianjing.

He slowly turned his head and saw the woman standing there like a green lotus, which instantly attracted all his attention.

"Xian'er!"

Qiao Tianjing called out in a low voice. He had not yet taken off his official uniform, and he strode forward to greet him. His elegance was gone, leaving only heat and eagerness.

He came forward, hugged Hanya Xian's waist tightly, and buried his head in her neck, the two of them pressed together tightly.

Hanya Xian felt the heat spraying on her neck, and felt that most of her hands and feet were numb. She was forced to raise her head slightly because the person in front of her was hugging her too tightly.

"Qiao Lang——"

She called out softly and raised her hands to wrap around Qiao Tianjing's waist. The familiar fragrance of green wood lingered in her nose, making her nose slightly sour.

Qiao Tianjing responded softly, the strong love and desire in his heart surged, and finally turned into tenderness wrapped around his fingers.

He stepped back slightly, held Hanya Xian's cheek, and traced her eyebrows with his eyes.

"Xian'er, I'm back."

Hanya Xian couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She raised the corners of her lips and said in a warm voice: "Qiao Lang, Xian'er has been waiting at home for a long time."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Tianjing's heart suddenly melted.

What is true?

This feeling is real, the person in front of me is real, and his string is the best proof that this world really exists.

Qiao Tianjing couldn't help himself. He gently pressed Hanya Xian's forehead, his breath was slightly hot, and he was about to put his lips in front of him when a babbling sound came from the bed.

"Yeah--"

The distracted two people were startled and separated in a hurry.

Hanya Xian's face turned crimson and she hurriedly walked to the bed. She saw Xiao Mingpei turned over at some point and was lying on the bed, looking at them with his big round eyes.

Qiao Tianjing touched his nose in embarrassment, suppressed the heat in his heart, and stepped forward to meet him.

Qiao Mingpei had long forgotten about his father. Now being held in Hanya Xian's arms, he couldn't help but look at Qiao Tianjing curiously.

Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing smiled and stretched out his hand, "Pei'er, daddy hugs me!"

Qiao Mingpei looked at Qiao Tianjing steadily, then he groaned, turned around and gave his father a big butt!

When Hanya Xian saw this, she laughed out loud.

"Pei'er doesn't even recognize her father."

Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing chuckled, shook his head, and put his arm around Hanya Xian's shoulders.

"Xian'er, I'm going to take a bath first. Your Majesty and Your Majesty are coming tonight too."

Hanya Xian nodded hurriedly when he heard this, "Qiao Lang, let me help you."

As Hanya Xian spoke, she was about to call her mother to bring Qiao Mingpei, but Qiao Tianjing had already shaken her head and reached out to untie the jade belt around her waist.

Seeing Hanyaxian staring at him, Qiao Tianjing felt a little warm in his heart, and suddenly a smirk flashed in his eyes, and he leaned close to Hanyaxian and whispered something in Hanyaxian's ear.

Hanya Xian felt the hot air touching her ears. She was already embarrassed, but after hearing what Qiao Tianjing said clearly, she trembled all over, as if her whole body was about to burn up.

"You, you, you...don't be ashamed! I don't want to tell you anymore, I still want to entertain An Ning and the others."

Hanya blushed with embarrassment, hugged Qiao Mingpei and ran away.

Qiao Tianjing's deep laughter sounded in the room. He looked around, feeling filled with joy and peace of mind at this moment.

It's great to be home.
