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

Chapter 716

The boat was drifting slowly, the moonlight was clear, and this land always had the most beautiful scenery.

Cai Ni woke up, not knowing when she woke up. She didn't speak, but just leaned in Zhou Yuan's arms, tears streaming down her face.

Zhou Yuan didn't disturb her, but just held her quietly and stroked her thin back.

This night was so long.

After an unknown amount of time, Cai Ni wiped her tears and whispered, "Sir, will they kill them all?"

Zhou Yuan said, "No, if we run away completely, they will board the boat, search along the river, and hunt us down."

Cai Ni opened her mouth, tears flowed out again, and she choked, "Then... will they hate me? I lied to them, woo woo..."

Zhou Yuan whispered, "No, Cai Ni, they won't hate you, nor will they blame you."

"Why?"

"Because you are their Yang Asha, you gave them hope, awakening, and expectations for life. You are a symbol of beauty."

"Really?"

Cai Ni sobbed.

Zhou Yuan said, "Really, we will go back, they are eager for us to go back."

But Cai Ni buried her head in his arms and cried, "But I don't deserve to be their Yang Asha, I lied to them, and I killed so many people."

Everyone felt heartbroken when they heard it, and they all lowered their heads and sighed helplessly.

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and held up Cai Ni's face.

He said solemnly: "Don't cry, Cai Ni, and don't be sad."

"For so many years, the people of Shuixi have lived a hard life. We came with good intentions and tried to find a way out for them. We should not be sad, but should work harder."

"As Yang Asha of Shuixi, you must have the strength and optimism that the people of Shuixi have long possessed in their souls. You must always believe that good days are behind and will definitely come."

"You didn't lie to them. No one can use the name of Yang Asha to deceive people, because Yang Asha can never claim to be herself, but can only be recognized by the public."

"You are recognized by everyone, so you are Yang Asha."

He held Cai Ni's face and whispered: "We are going to Sichuan now. We will come back immediately after we deal with it."

"We will eliminate all those people in the Tusi Mansion and make life better in Shuixi."

"At that time, you will sing another song of flying earth, a real song of flying earth."

Cai Ni pursed her lips, nodded slightly, hugged Zhou Yuan, and was still sad in her heart.

Then she gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, can we come back soon?"

"Yes, very soon."

"Sir, will the days in Shuixi really get better?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Yes, I promise you, it will get better."

Cai Ni forced a smile and slowly stood up.

She looked at the green mountains and clear waters, the dark sky and the white moon, and couldn't help singing softly.

"Oh! The moon in the sky opens its eyes, and the curved river water is circling."

"Oh! The fruits on the mountain are big and round, and the crops in the fields are in pieces."

"Oh! Don't cover your face, beautiful sister! Brother wants to hold your hand."

"Oh! Shuixi with brilliant mountain flowers! Good days year after year."

"Good days year after year!"

After she finished singing, she shook her head slightly and murmured, "We will definitely come back."

...

At dawn, the boat was about to leave the territory of Shuixi, and the river bank came again with the latest news.

Xiong Kuohai opened the letter and said excitedly: "Withdrawn! An Fuman searched the mountains in the middle of the night last night, and then withdrew his troops."

"The Shuixi Baizhai has begun to return to the camp. The exact number of casualties is unclear, but they are all safe now."

"There are pursuers chasing along the Xiangshui River, but they are not quick to react and it is too late to catch up with us."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Let the Jinyiwei land and keep an eye on the movements of the Guizhou Xuanwei Division. The Tiqi ambushed on the road can be evacuated."

"A few miles ahead, we will be completely out of Shuixi, and then we will go ashore."

Xiong Kuohai said: "Understood."

He jumped onto other boats to arrange tasks, and four or five small boats appeared in front.

Wang Ang suddenly became nervous, took a closer look, and said: "It seems to be the people fishing. Yes, they are the people, all old people."

The Jinyiwei landed, and those old people were not afraid of strangers. They waved their hands when they saw Zhou Yuan and others.

"Hey! Which village is this brother from? Is the Mountain Flower Festival over?"

An old man waved his hand and shouted.

Zhou Yuan and his friends were still wearing Miao costumes, so the other party really couldn't tell their identities.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "It's over, Grandpa. Are you fishing?"

The old man seemed very proud and nodded, "Yes, it's spring, and the fish are out of the water, big and fat."

"TodayWe didn't go to the Mountain Flower Festival that year. Wasn't it very lively? "

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, it was very lively."

He felt a little guilty, after all, a bloody incident had occurred.

But the old man was very happy and said quickly, "Have you seen Cai Ni, the sister of Baihua Village? It is said that she is the daughter of Bai Niao, and she is very beautiful."

Cai Ni immediately lowered her head and almost cried again.

Zhou Yuan held her hand and shouted to the front, "I saw her. She is very beautiful!"

"Haha! Sure enough! I guessed right, Bai Niao is so beautiful, Cai Ni must be beautiful too."

The old man laughed and said, "After Bai Niao gave birth to Cai Ni, my mother-in-law went to see Bai Niao and visited her."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Where did Bai Niao give birth to her child? ”

The old man said: "In Sichuan, my wife is from Sichuan. When she went back to her parents' home, she visited her. When she came back, she told me that Bai Niao Amei's daughter was very beautiful. She had big eyes when she was only a few months old."

"There is also a red birthmark like a plum blossom on her lower back, haha!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's face changed instantly, and he looked at Cai Ni suddenly.

Cai Ni raised her head, her expression became extremely surprised.

There happened to be a red birthmark like a plum blossom on her back!

The old man seemed to think that the two did not believe it, and glared at them: "What are you looking at? How old am I, can I still talk nonsense? My wife is really from Sichuan."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Grandpa! Grandpa! Where is Bai Niao Amei in Sichuan!"

The old man scratched his head and said: "I don't remember it clearly, my wife may know. "

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, there is something important. We want to visit your home. We want to ask about Miss Bai Niao."

The old man was a little confused, and Cai Ni was already trembling all over, with tears flowing down her eyes.

She tightly grasped Zhou Yuan's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master... Young Master... You say... You say is it possible..."

"I... I really am... the daughter of Miss Bai Niao?"

This sentence shocked everyone.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, we must find Miss Bai Niao!"

Perhaps there is a destiny in the dark. Cai Ni, who pretended to be a Miao, became the real Yang Asha and fell in love.

It was also because of this that fate let her know the news of her mother.
