Chapter 321 You are all Sister Xi’s cousins, so you are naturally my brothers too.
Chu Zixi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, cousin. I'm fine. It's just that the weather was too cold some time ago, so I seldom went out."
Yun Yangshuo couldn't help but complain, "That's right. The weather in Chu is much colder than our Dongyang. Cousin, you don't know. We encountered heavy snow along the way. It took us several months to reach the territory of Chu. The wind was so cold that it was unbearable. Later, the snow began to melt, and it was even colder. Moreover, there were assassins chasing us along the way. It was really dangerous." He gestured as he spoke.
After hearing this, Chu Zixi's eyes flashed with anger, and she said in a firm tone: "Thank you for your hard work, cousin. Don't worry, Xier will definitely avenge you. Those people from Xiliang and the barbarians will be made to pay the price!" Her voice was not loud, but it was full of power, which shocked people.
Yun Yangshuo reached out and gently patted Chu Zixi's shoulder, looking at her with sparkling eyes, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, then your cousin will stand by and cheer you on, so that you can be full of confidence!"
However, at this moment, Jun Feimo's gaze was fixed on Yun Yangshuo's hand on Chu Zixi's shoulder. The more he looked at it, the more dazzling it seemed, and he even had an urge to chop it off.
His expression became increasingly gloomy, and he couldn't help but pull Chu Zixi's sleeve hard, pulling her to his side.
Chu Zixi was startled by his sudden action and turned to look at him with confusion.
A faint smile appeared on Jun Feimo's face.
Yun Shenqi stretched out his finger and tapped Yun Yangshuo's head, reminding him to be careful about his words and actions.
Yun Yangshuo covered his forehead in pain, looked at Yun Shenqi with grievance, and complained: "Brother, why did you suddenly hit me? I am still very weak now, and you will make me feel worse."
Yun Shenqi raised his eyebrows and replied with some disapproval: "Don't pretend in front of me. Everyone knows that you have almost recovered. War is no joke. The barbarians and Xiliang are not easy to deal with. If there is a real war, the people will suffer the most. Xier is young and may not understand this, but you have been on the battlefield and should be aware of the cruelty, right? Cousin Xier, you are about to get married, don't talk about these bloody topics, it's too much of a spoilsport!"
Chu Zixi looked at Yun Yangshuo's aggrieved expression and found it really cute. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said with a smile on her face: "Okay, I know, cousin!"
Jun Feimo looked at Yun Yangshuo with profound eyes, then took Chu Zixi's hand, his tone calm but with a hint of unquestionableness, "You two should take a rest first, and then go to the palace together to attend the palace banquet in the evening." After that, he took Chu Zixi's hand and strode out.
Yun Yangshuo looked at their departing backs and couldn't help but complain, "No, big brother, we haven't seen cousin Xier for so long. We finally have a chance to talk and reminisce about the past. What's going on with this War King?"
Yun Shenqi looked at his silly brother with deep eyes and shook his head helplessly, "You talk too much. I guess King Zhan dislikes you for being too noisy."
"Brother, you can't say that to me. Why am I so talkative? I have a lot of things I want to say to my cousin Xier! Besides, if you ask me, King Zhan is still too petty. I guess he is still mad at us! After all, it was us who created those illusions so that cousin Xier could run away." Yun Yangshuo muttered dissatisfiedly, his heart full of resentment towards Jun Feimo.
Yun Shenqi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said meaningfully: "You underestimate the War King too much. Is he worthy to be angry with us? Yang Shuo, Xier is about to marry the War King, you have to keep your distance."
Yun Yangshuo scratched his head and said unconvincedly: "No, brother, I don't like what you said. Xier is our cousin, why should we keep a distance? There is nothing wrong between my cousin and me..."
Yun Shenqi glanced at him and said in a serious tone: "Don't you understand the difference between men and women? Even if she is Xier's cousin, you should not get too close to her. It's obvious that the War King is a jealous person. Don't suffer when the time comes and then say that I didn't warn you!"
Yun Yangshuo curled his lips. Although he still felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, he still responded: "Humph! Got it."
Yun Shenqi shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice came, "Sister Xi..." Then, Chu Mengting ran in like a happy little bird. However, when she saw the two people in the room, she suddenly froze, with a trace of embarrassment on her face, and stammered, "Uh...you guys?"
Seeing this, Yun Shenqi slowly stood up, nodded politely to Chu Mengting, and then quietly introduced himself: "My lady, we are from the Yun family of Dongyang State. I am Yun Shenqi, and the one next to me is my cousin Yun Yangshuo."
Hearing this, Chu Mengting's eyes suddenly lit up, her face full of surprise, and she said excitedly: "So you are Sister Xi's family!" As she spoke, she tilted her head and stared at Yun Shenqi with her big, sparkling eyes. She couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart: Wow, he is so handsome...
Yun Shenqi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at so bluntly by a little girl he had never met before. He coughed slightly and asked helplessly, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Chu Mengting patted her chest quickly and replied with a smile: "I am Chu Mengting, the daughter of Prince Li, the Prince Li who met you at the gate of the Imperial City before."
After hearing this, Yun Shenqi smiled faintly, bowed slightly to Chu Mengting, and said softly, "It turns out to be the princess. I'm sorry, but I wonder if you are here to look for your cousin Xier?"
Chu Mengting sat aside with an excited look on her face, her eyes sparkling, as if she had discovered something new: "Yes, we saw you on the street before, but my sisters and I were in the restaurant at the time, so we didn't have time to come down to look for Sister Xi. Later, I thought she would definitely come to the post station, so I came directly here!"
Yun Shenqi looked at the lively and lovely girl in front of him, couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "That's really unfortunate, Xier just went out with Zhan Wang."
Hearing this, Chu Mengting showed a trace of regret on her face, but she quickly cheered up, supporting her chin with both hands, blinking her big smart eyes and asked: "It doesn't matter~ You are all Sister Xi's cousins, so naturally you are also my brothers. Can you tell me what your Dongyang country is like? Is there any fun place?"
