Chapter 329 Why are you here?
Chapter 329 Why are you here?
Gu Xiyan rode a horse, traveling through the rolling hills, his heart full of anxiety and anticipation.
He couldn't help but think of the contents of the letter, and every word was like a hammer hitting his heart.
The mountain road was winding and tortuous, and Gu Xiyan's heart was just like the road, fluctuating. He kept urging the horse, and the closer he got to the destination, the more uneasy he felt.
Finally, we arrived at a valley.
There was an open plain ahead, and under a huge old tree, a figure was standing there quietly.
The man had his back to him, dressed in white, with his silver hair fluttering in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding scenery.
Gu Xiyan's heart suddenly tightened and he could hardly believe his eyes.
Nanshan!
How could it be him?
He dismounted, tied the horse aside, and then walked towards the figure step by step.
Every step felt like walking on cotton, light and yet extremely heavy.
When he finally reached the man, he slowly turned around.
He revealed a handsome face, which was exactly the same as Nangong Xiu Lan.
The only difference is the hair color.
"Sanlang, you finally woke up."
Gu Xiyan was stunned, staring blankly at the person in front of him, unable to speak for a moment.
Surprise, confusion, incomprehension, and astonishment were all piled into one sentence.
"You...how come you are here?" The voice was full of trembling and disbelief.
Nanshan smiled, a faint smile that was fleeting, "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Gu Xiyan looked at his silver hair, his eyes moved slightly, "Why did you become like this?"
Thinking of the dreams he had every night when Yao Jia was in a coma, and Yao Jia's resistance to him all along...
"You used the secret technique to bring Yaoyao and I back to life?"
Nanshan lowered his eyes and said nothing, but Gu Xiyan was determined in his heart.
This means that Yaoyao really had awakened her memories of her past life a long time ago...that's why she kept rejecting him.
"I really can't understand. Aren't you the one who hates me the most in this world? Since she was so unwilling to be with me, why did you go to His Majesty to ask for an imperial decree to tie me to her?"
Nanshan looked at the carriage that slowly stopped on the jungle road in the distance and sighed softly: "Yes, I hate you. No matter in the past life or now, I still hate you, but for my Yaoyao, I have no choice."
Gu Xiyan looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
"Yaoyao's fate will only be completely stable after you become a general."
Gu Xiyan laughed at himself, "No wonder you only give me such a favor when you need me. So, it was you who sent Yaoyao to Yongle Marquis Mansion. But why did you abolish her martial arts? Are you afraid that she will kill me?"
But on second thought, he felt that it was not right. If that was the case, then in his previous life, Yao Jia appeared there only because she had lost her martial arts. How could he explain this?
He looked at Nanshan with some confusion, "Are you...are you Nangong Xiulan? Why did you use me to do this?"
Nanshan did not answer whether he was Nangong Xiu Lan.
She just looked at him with deep and complicated eyes.
"Gu Xiyan, I am not using you. This is the fate of you and Yaoyao, and I am just doing what a guardian should do. I am the messenger chosen by the master to protect her throughout her life, and I cannot let her lose her life again because of her fate. At the same time, I am also her husband, and she is the love of my life. I want her to live a long life and see all the prosperity in this world."
Gu Xiyan was shocked. He never thought that Nangong Xiu Lan would go to so much trouble just to let Yao Jia live a simple life.
I secretly admire him in my heart.
"What about Yaoyao? Does she know all this?" Gu Xiyan's voice trembled a little.
Nanshan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "She doesn't know, and I don't want her to know that I've been here. In my previous life, I was too harsh on her, so she never felt my love for her, which led to the tragedy that followed. She hates you because of a misunderstanding, but she hates me... for real."
“How could it be…” Gu Xiyan’s voice was filled with disbelief, “Yaoyao and this world’s Nangong Xiulan get along very well, and the way she looks at him is full of admiration.”
"You also said that it was Nangong Xiu Lan of this life." Nanshan's voice was bitter, as if he was telling an irreparable regret. "She only loves the current Nangong Xiu Lan, not me in my previous life. Maybe there was really nothing in my previous life that was worth her nostalgia. If not, I have been by her side for so long, but she never realized who I was..."
The corners of his eyes gradually turned red, and he looked at the beautiful couple getting off the carriage in the distance, and his hands unconsciously clenched.
Gu Xiyan nodded slightly. This man still had some self-awareness. In his previous life, after Yao Jia discovered that he was missing, she really didn’t go looking for him.
She just looked at him in confusion, "Since you have done so much for her and let me be with her as I wish, why did you ask me out today?"
"Yaoyao's fate is not yet stable." Nanshan's voice was filled with helplessness. "I originally thought that as long as she married you, her fate would be resolved. But I didn't expect that the feelings between you would be so complicated, and I didn't expect that Yaoyao would not consummate her marriage with you because of a misunderstanding in her previous life. I... have to continue to interfere in your affairs."
No matter how confused Gu Xiyan was, he could actually calculate the consummation of his marriage.
His eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Nanshan in horror, "You... have you become a god now, so you can stay out of it and figure this out?"
Otherwise it would be too weird. There would be two Nangong Xiu Lan in the same world. It's scary to think about it.
"Does the you in Nangong Mansion know of your existence? Or am I the only one in this world who knows who you are?"
Nanshan ignored him and just stared at Yao Jia and Le Wuyou who were walking into the depths of the jungle.
Gu Xiyan waited for a long time but saw no reply from him. She noticed that he was staring into the distance in a daze, so she followed his gaze and saw Yao Jia holding Le Wuyou's arm.
The two of them walked on the forest path, their backs leaning against each other in the sun, as close as they could be.
A surge of anger instantly ignited in my heart, my chest felt extremely stuffy, and I unconsciously clenched my fists.
Nanshan teased him, "Why haven't you adapted yet? Now that you are the great general who pacifies Liang State and makes everyone in Liang State tremble with fear, why are you still so jealous?"
Gu Xiyan rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't care about those people in the mansion, but this Le Wuyou..."
In his previous life, he approached Yao Jia with a face similar to Le Wuyou, and they were intimate and passionate.
He was always afraid that Yao Jia thought of him as a substitute for Le Wuyou. Even before his death, he was still trying to confirm his position in her heart.
Nanshan saw his reaction, guessed his doubts, and sighed, "Don't worry, if Yaoyao really regarded you as a substitute, how could she love and hate you so much."
Gu Xiyan pursed her lips, as if she had thought of something, and looked at Nanshan with a more inquiring look, "Are you deliberately taking revenge on me by making me awaken my past life memories so late? It's to avenge me for the affectionate relationship that Yaoyao and I had in front of you..."
Nanshan turned his face away and stopped looking at him.
Gu Xiyan felt that it must be the case.
As they were talking, the two men had already entered the depths of the dense forest and disappeared.
Nanshan cried out, "Oh my!" and said nervously, "I heard that there are often ferocious beasts in the dense forest. Is Yaoyao...not in danger?"
When Gu Xiyan heard this, his heart tightened and he turned around and chased after him.
Nanshan looked at his back, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Xiyan has been led here, so the matter is half successful. However, I didn't expect that Le Wuyou would follow.
We have to think of a way to lure him away.
He broke off a branch and drew a formation on the ground. With a flash of white light, the figure disappeared from the spot.
Deep in the dense forest, Yao Jia surveyed the southeast and northwest corners of the Julingtai according to the drawn map, leaving only the north and southwest corners unexplored.
Walking side by side with Le Wuyou, the two chatted while paying attention to the movements around them.
The sunlight shines through the dense leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.
Yao Jia stood under the big tree, raised her head and took a deep breath, feeling particularly relaxed.
I couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, the spring air is really comfortable."
"Splash" an unknown liquid fell from the tree.
Yao Gyatso was caught off guard and got splashed all over his head and face.
"Ah——" he screamed loudly and kept wiping it with his hands.
"What? What's all over my face?"
The sticky touch gave her goosebumps all over.
