Wait a minute, heroine

In the winter, Tianlang Lake turned into an ice field again, and the mighty army set off from the West Sea Protectorate and slowly sailed towards the Hudong Fortress on the other side of the lake.

The originally abandoned Hudong defense line has now taken on a new look. The walls built against the mountains and rocks stand on the lakeshore. Behind them are countless Beiliang soldiers and defensive equipment. Looking down from the clouds, they look like a forest of swords and swords. ocean.

Although the military appearance is strict, both the equipment and the city defense facilities show the image of a great power. Compared with the West Sea Allied Forces that are about to attack the city, the West Sea side even looks like a miscellaneous army with messy flags.

However, the morale of the soldiers who were guarding them at the critical moment fell to the bottom. Before they even saw the beacon fire on the ice field, countless people had already developed a sense of defeat, including the lieutenant generals of the army.

The battle outside the imperial city of Yanjing in August had broken Beiliang's backbone. Even Emperor Liang knew that the situation was over and had almost given up the struggle.

Although some generals finally blocked Wang Chihu's surprise attack in the snowy plains and even figured out most of the information about the Western Sea Allied Forces, this could not stop the raging trend. If Ye Jingtang won the title of "No. 1 in the World", it would directly become This was the last straw that broke Beiliang's head.

In the past two months or so, all the aristocratic families in Hudong Road have basically been working against the enemy. On the surface, they have sent people to call for resistance against the enemy, but privately, they have been trying to contact the Southern Dynasties. Not to mention the Jianghu forces, Tian Wuliang, Qinglonghui, etc. He directly raised the flag of righteousness in various places and began to rebel, criticizing the tyranny of the imperial court and the immorality of Emperor Liang.

Both the government and the public began to panic and retreat. The troops at the front were naturally not in high morale. Not to mention the soldiers at the bottom, even the top generals were thinking about how to fight this battle in order to achieve a smooth victory and save their families. Small, not how to win.

On the northwest side of Anxi Prefecture, Fengyan City.

Fengyan City is located on the northwest side of Anxi Prefecture, and is also the narrowest part of Tianlang Lake. It is less than three hundred miles away from the other side. Directly opposite is the West Sea Protectorate, which has always been the main battlefield for decisive battles between the two dynasties.

There are no civilians in Fengyan City. There is a military fortress inside. More than 50,000 people are stationed here, working day and night to make weapons, winter clothes and other items. A steady stream of food and grass is delivered from the rear. The center is the Commander's Mansion.

Almost all the named generals in Beiliang are concentrated in the city. The Battle of the West Sea happened twenty years ago. The capable officers who participated in the war are now in high positions. There is actually no shortage of generals in the Beiliang army.

However, Master Xiang Han and King Zuo Xian died, and no one in the entire Northern Liang was qualified to take command. As a result, Emperor Liang had to let the prince supervise the country, and the imperial commander came here personally to serve as the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

At night, the sky in Fengyan City was filled with wind and snow. Countless soldiers were arrayed outside the generals' platform, and the light of torches illuminated the entire city.

Emperor Liang was wearing armor and standing on the general stage with a sword hanging from his waist. He still looked confident and calm, as if he was unafraid of the upcoming battle to destroy the country.

However, the surrounding high-level generals and the thousands of soldiers outside obviously had their own thoughts, and did not even pay attention to the nonsense that Emperor Liang encouraged.

Emperor Liang stood in the wind and snow, spoke sonorously and forcefully for a moment, and found that the whole city was silent. Although there was no disrespect, there was no fighting spirit, and there was a sense of powerlessness in his brows. In the end, the courtiers were Putting aside the carefully prepared remarks, he spoke loudly;

"I know that you all feel that this battle cannot be won. The army from the West Sea has already moved towards the east of the lake. Maybe next month these thousands of miles of land will change hands. I am here to encourage people, just like a stubborn defeater. Kou is trying his best to grasp the last life-saving straw, hoping to keep the country thousands of miles away.

"Even my son, queen, and queen mother all think this way. They are trying to persuade me to resist stubbornly, which is just to make me more laughable, so that I can be more dignified and beg for surrender, or prepare a way out as soon as possible..."

After saying this, the generals and soldiers, who had lowered their heads and had their own thoughts, all raised their eyes and looked at the emperor who was speaking loudly in the wind and snow.

The ministers and counselors behind him originally wanted to dissuade him, but in the end they decided against it. After all, morale could not be boosted at all. If Emperor Liang was prepared to surrender directly, it would be a good thing for everyone.

But as a king, Emperor Liang had thousands of troops in his hands, and he obviously had no intention of surrendering without a fight.

Emperor Liang glanced at the thousands of soldiers with his sword in hand, and continued:

"But I didn't agree. Before I came to the throne, Daliang was harassed by Western Xinjiang every winter. If you don't know, you can ask your elders. In the past hundred years, the northwest royal court fought for a piece of grain-producing land. How many times we have, how many people we have died.

"After I ascended the throne, I destroyed the Northwest Royal Court once and for all, and incorporated the entire Western Sea into the territory. If it weren't for my past achievements, how could the country be as rich and powerful as it is today.

"There is also the Southern Dynasty. After the founding of the country, the Dongfang clan never gave up its ambition. Every year, they were planning how to annex Daliang and become the emperor for eternity.

"Before I ascended the throne, the two countries were at war all year round. There was famine almost every year in Yanbei Road. Those who had enough to eat were considered superior. But after I ascended the throne, we ceased war, negotiated alliances, and opened up trade routes. In the past twenty years, almost nothing happened After the war, people who came from Yanbei Road can think about it for themselves. How many people have starved to death in these years?

“I know that the Southern Dynasty is ambitious and the peace talks are just to recuperate and prepare for the future once and for all, and the same is true for the Southern Dynasty.

"Over the past few decades, I have integrated Xihai, purged the officialdom and the army, and accumulated enough food, grass, and silver to spend ten years with the Southern Dynasty. I also have countless capable people and strangers under my command, and have laid countless secrets in the Southern Dynasty.

"And what did the Southern Dynasty do? The emperor was abolished and the feudal vassals were abolished, which caused turmoil in the government and the public; the princess forced the palace, tampered with the imperial edicts to seize the throne; the feudal kings had different intentions, and assassinations and rebellions occurred frequently...

"The empress is indeed accumulating national power, but if you go to the Southern Dynasties and see, how much of it is stolen from me, from weapons and city defense to daily food and clothing?

"Two years ago, it would have been impossible for the Southern Dynasty to come back. The situation has evolved to this point. It is not that I have no talent, morality or incompetence, but that the two countries have their own destiny, and it is impossible to unify the world smoothly.

"You think God is on the side of the Southern Dynasty, but where in the world does God come from? It all depends on man. Even if it is true, God has chosen the Night Terror Hall, and we have to kneel down and beg for surrender in accordance with God's will?

"If everything should be in accordance with destiny, our ancestors did not have sharp teeth and claws, nor the body of tigers and bears, so they should be allowed to be eaten by humans and fish like chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs. The tigers, leopards, bears and wolves should be the ones who call the shots in the world.

"But our ancestors did not obey the destiny and let others slaughter them. It is because God is unfair, so we have to work hard to find a way out, and we have to face the difficulties by any means..."

Although the current defeat has been decided, it really has little to do with Emperor Liang. It can only be said that God's will plays a trick on people, and his achievements in the past years of rule cannot be denied.

Thousands of soldiers in Fengyan City were obviously moved when they heard these words, but the despair in their eyes did not diminish.

After all, Ye Jingtang is not favored by God, but has become God. Just relying on determination and bravery, the most you can gamble is, 'He may not be able to kill us all.' It is impossible to win.

The emperor believed in the divine right of kings. Emperor Liang could say that God did not exist and was against heaven. He had said all he could. Seeing that thousands of soldiers still had little morale, Emperor Liang also felt a little powerless. Standing in the snow and wind, he sighed softly:

"Everyone is afraid of death, and I am the same. But since I dare to come to Hudong and risk my life to fight, I have the confidence to fight against Ye Jingtang. Imperial Master, can you show your knowledge and give reassurance to the soldiers? ?”

While speaking, Emperor Liang turned back and looked behind the general platform.

Thousands of soldiers and generals also turned back to look at the crowd behind them.

In addition to the eunuch and counselor, there was also an old man in a robe among the crowd.

The old man has fair hair and a childish face, and a mature demeanor. His face is not eye-catching, but he has a sense of immortality. There is also a small jade plaque hanging around his waist.

At first, the generals and ministers thought that this man was just an accompanying counselor, but when they heard Emperor Liang calling him "Guo Shi" and his words were quite respectful, they couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Li Guangxian and Lu Xingjun, who were dragged in by the captured men, whispered quietly:

"Who is this?"

"I haven't seen it before, but he looks like an expert..."

…

Step, step...

After everyone whispered to each other for a few words, the sound of unhurried footsteps reached everyone's ears, suppressing all the noise.

Even Emperor Liang, who had more than ten thousand people, moved back a little and gave up his position in the center of the general platform.

The old man with white hair and childish face walked up to the crowd of thousands of people with his hands in sleeves. His demeanor was quite calm, but after glancing at the thousands of soldiers, his words were not very pleasant:

"Why do you, Your Majesty, say these heartfelt words to a group of people who just follow the wind? People are strong in nature. If they have the capital to dominate the world, they will behave like dogs. Your words are the imperial decree of heaven; and If you don't have this capital, even if you sincerely dig your heart out, it will still be nothing more than a joke in their eyes."

"You are presumptuous!"

Although most of the people present were indeed ready to adapt to the situation, it was still a bit embarrassing to say it in person. Several ministers nearby immediately began to scold them; and thousands of soldiers who did not dare to fight the night terror hall also showed their faces. angry.

The old man glanced at the people with unkind expressions and asked:

"Are you guys thinking that I don't dare to have night terrors, and I don't dare to deal with a bad old man like you?"

"..."

Everyone obviously thought so, but since Emperor Liang was present, it was difficult to say this clearly.

Seeing that no one responded, the old man said calmly:

"It's human nature to bully the weak and be afraid of the strong. I don't care about you, but I don't care about you. But this is the last time. From now on, if I see you being disobedient and disrespectful again, you will know the consequences."

Huhu~

As he spoke, the wind and snow in Fengyan City became noticeably stronger.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, the old man stood on the general stage, his robes fluttered in the wind, and his figure slowly rose.

Boom——

At this moment, a twisted electric snake sprang out from the black clouds that overwhelmed the city, and the lightning instantly illuminated the entire sky and earth, supporting the figure with hands and sleeves in the air like a god.

Many people present had seen the scene of the Night Terror in Yanjing. Seeing this scene, the displeasure and anger just now disappeared, leaving only surprise and doubt.

The old man was suspended under the thundercloud, looking down at the thousands of stunned soldiers below. His hands only moved slightly in his sleeves, and an earth-shattering roar sounded on Tianlang Lake outside the city:

Boom——

The soldiers at the top of the city turned around and saw that the frozen lake surface was suddenly torn from it, and a crack more than ten feet wide appeared. It was like a scourge of heaven lying in front of the lake shore, with almost no end visible to the left and right.

"Buzz..."

The defenders inside and outside the city wall were in an uproar when they saw this scene. The despair that they would have felt about defeat disappeared at this moment.

After all, this kind of magical magic is not much different from Ye Jing Tang's 'Gathering Swords into Dragons'. As long as someone can check and balance Ye Jing Tang, Beiliang belongs to the defender, and they still have the advantage in this battle. It is not completely impossible to fight.

Emperor Liang only listened to the old man's advice these days. He knew that the old man was very powerful, and Zhongsun Jindu kept silent about him, but he didn't know exactly how powerful he was.

Seeing this scene of stirring up wind and thunder, Emperor Liang's eyes suddenly filled with fire, and he scolded:

"Why don't you come and pay homage to the Imperial Master!"

The civil servants and generals with horrified eyes around them reacted and quickly raised their hands to the sky:

"Meet the Imperial Master!"

The old man didn't react much to the compliments from thousands of people. He just said:

"There is no need to defend this city. Just go out of the city and attack the Xihai Protector's Mansion. Ye Jingtang has received the news and will be here soon. You don't have to be afraid. I can handle it by myself."

"..."

When the generals and soldiers present saw such a magical scene, they dared not disobey any more, and immediately began to assemble...

——

Yunan City.

Under the falling light snow, thousands of streets and squares in the capital are covered in white. Wende Bridge, Wutong Street and other places are still as prosperous as before, while Tianshui Bridge is not what it used to be. It was already overcrowded last time, and since then After returning from a trip to Guancheng, the entire neighborhood exploded.

Number one and number two in the world are completely different concepts. Although number two is also famous in the world, it is not that meaningful after all. Most people in the world still focus on number one.

After Ye Jingtang took back the "No. 1 in the World" sign, it sucked the traffic of the entire official city to Tianshui Bridge. Recently, there have been so many people entering Beijing that it is impossible to count, and there are also many people who yearn for martial arts who have bought residences near Tianshui Bridge. , there was even a traffic jam in the surrounding area, making it difficult for carriages to get in and out, so cadres had to be arranged to maintain traffic order.

Ye Jingtang originally thought that after going to Guancheng, he would be free and able to work day and night. However, after returning, he discovered that being the "No. 1 in the world" was not as easy as he thought.

In the past, when he was number two, due to his illustrious reputation, no Jianghu people came to look for trouble. But now that he is the number one person, who else can Jianghu people look for if they don't look for him?

If you occupy the first position, you can't let others fight for it, right?

On the first day after Ye Jingtang returned to Beijing, before he had time to go back to his house for a hot meal, someone came to the door and said that he was preparing to go to Guancheng. Halfway through, he discovered that Ye Jingtang had become the best in the world, so he turned to Laiyun. Anden door challenge.

Ye Jingtang heard from Fengguan City in Longmen Cliff that many hidden masters would come to him in the future. He thought that with such a bad reputation, anyone who dared to come and kick the tavern should be a martial saint no matter what. In order to recruit talents for Wei, he was quite serious and went out to meet people in person.

The result was good. He took a quick look and saw that the opponent had no tyrannical aura at all. He was more primitive than Fengguan City. He was not even a miscellaneous fish. He was just a high-level loach. He also reminded him that swords have no eyes and asked him to attack with all his strength.

Having already shown his face, Ye Jingtang couldn't turn around and went back, so he slapped Nanxun into the river. He finally understood why Fengguancheng slapped Qiu Tianhe out for less than half a mile - with this three-legged cat skill, he still saw I'm going to fight with all my strength, why don't I slap you in the water to wake you up?

After suffering such a loss, Ye Jingtang has gained a better memory. Facing numerous challenges from stupid young people, it has no choice but to arrange for Yunli to be the doorkeeper like Fengguan City. Can Yunli survive for three years? Only those who are recruited can enter the house.

However, there is really nothing that can be done to stop those who ask for advice. Many young people in their teens want to practice martial arts, but have no way to do so, so they just kneel on the street and cannot get up when no one is around.

The Night Terror Hall couldn't defeat such a young man, so it could only continue to draw on the experience of its predecessors and built an arena for young people to compete on it. If they reached the top three, they could compete with him.

In order to discover good talents, the imperial court also gave special support. Yuhu specially made a "Qingkui" sign and placed it next to the ring to reward the first place in the year. As a result, more people came.

In addition, there were also members of the Wende Bridge family of generals, ministers, and royal aristocrats who came to visit with their sons and daughters, hoping that Ye Jingtang would accept apprentices.

Ye Jingtang himself is not even close to the top. He has the ability to recruit disciples but does not have the life experience of the disciples. He definitely has no such idea now and can only politely refuse.

Busy going back and forth as usual, it wasn't until the third day after returning that Ye Jingtang sorted out all the trivial matters and barely had some time off.

At noon, in the new house near Tianshui Bridge, many maids gathered on the viewing floor to watch the competition on the opposite side of the river, and even started to place bets on which ranger could win.

The Plum Blossom Courtyard at the back of the house was quite quiet. After finally sending away a Duke of Wende Bridge in the Night Terror Hall, he returned to the courtyard and looked up to see two figures sitting in the living room of the main house.

Because she was pregnant, Qingzhi had dressed up like a young housewife. She sat upright on the right side of the Luohan Hall, with her hands on the soft cushions of the small case.

The charming Mrs. Wang, wearing a winter dress, sat opposite, helping to take the pulse while saying:

"It doesn't matter. Although I can't have sex when I'm pregnant, there are still ways to serve my husband. I heard from the wife of Wende Bridge that you can..."

"Ah? Isn't this a bit..."

"It's okay, Mrs. Wendeqiao often does this..."

Hua Qingzhi was obviously eager to learn and listened attentively, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed that Ye Jingtang had entered the courtyard and coughed lightly again.

Mrs. Wang is very good at observing words and expressions. When she saw someone coming, she knew someone was coming. She stopped talking and looked outside:

"Your Highness Ye, are you done?"

In the Night Terror Hall, I saw Mrs. Wang, the life instructor, preaching and practicing. She definitely didn’t want to go in and disturb her. She nodded and smiled outside the door:

"Mr. Li Guo just left, so he came over to take a look. Would you like the maid to bring you some tea and snacks?"

"Yes, Your Highness is too polite."

"Haha, you guys talk first, I'll go look elsewhere."

Hua Qingzhi knew that Ye Jingtang must have heard something, and it was hard to speak at this time. She just nodded shyly and continued to be polite to Mrs. Wang.

Ye Jingtang secretly eavesdropped and then walked along the corridor to the outside of the bamboo courtyard.

Ning'er didn't dare to live with him before, so she chose the Bamboo Courtyard which was far away. But now that Bai Jin doesn't run away, she will definitely live with Ning'er. There are three rooms in one courtyard, and Yunli is even reserved. Got a position.

Ye Jingtang turned around to look around from outside the courtyard and saw Ning'er wearing a silver fox fur, walking next to the small bamboo forest.

Bai Jin was walking beside her, her attire was simpler, just a plain white skirt and a small piece of clothing in her hand. The couple were chatting:

"It looks good, but the baby will be born next summer. I'm afraid you won't be able to wear it if you make a little cotton-padded jacket."

"Really? Then I'll save it for winter..."

…

Upon discovering that the Night Jingtang had fallen, Xue Baijin immediately stopped talking and put the little cotton-padded jacket back into his wife's hands.

Luo Ning's reaction was naturally as cold as ever. She hid her little clothes under the fox fur and frowned:

"How did you come?"

When Ye Jingtang saw the two of them secretly preparing clothes for the doll, his heart was naturally filled with happiness and he responded:

"I'm just passing by, how about I invite Fan Jiuniang over and give you some guidance?"

Luo Ning was born in Jianghu, and her embroidery skills were not bad, but she was not as good as Sanniang, who stayed in the cloth shop all year round. She learned all these things from Sanniang.

Fan Jiuniang is one of the leading tailors of the modern era, so she would certainly benefit a lot from learning a skill or two. But Luo Ning understands Ye Jingtang’s temperament. If she really invites Fan Jiuniang here, she won’t be learning children’s clothes. She might have to change into new models every day. Yi opened Ye Jingtang's horizons.

Luo Ning did not nod for this, but just said:

"No, I have time to go over and ask for advice."

"Then let's buy some more clothes, Tuotuo..."

Xue Baijin's eyes narrowed slightly: "If you are really free, come in and I will help you relax."

"cough……"

Even though Ye Jingtang was the best in the world, he still had lingering fears about Tuo Tuo's strength. He raised his hand slightly to signal and walked through the courtyard gate.

Xue Baijin was then satisfied, and took the small clothes from Ning'er's hand, looking back and forth carefully.

There are only four courtyards in the house. Benben is busy working in the palace, and Yuhu is handling government affairs in the palace. There are not many people at this time.

Ye Jingtang circled around other courtyards and found no one, so he came to the alchemy room behind the house.

There was a faint green smoke in the alchemy room, and the medicinal materials that were originally dried were moved into the room.

At this time, Qinghe was busy in front of the alchemy furnace. He didn't know if he was unlucky enough to play games on the boat and was awakened by the water. He even made a statue of the "God of the North" in the room, with an incense altar in front of it. Vessel, I pray and worship every day.

The room next door is filled with various materials, intended to be used to make toy cars, but it looks a little off track.

When Ye Jingtang came to the door, he could see that there was a small heater burning in the room. Shui'er, who was floating in the air of immortality, was sitting side by side at the table with Huaiyan.

Shui'er seemed to have been captured by Qinghe as a long-term worker, polishing various parts of the car.

The Queen Mother, on the other hand, has other errands and is making small toys out of Qinghe materials. There are already several finished products on the table, including a smooth-haired fox tail, a small bell with a clip...

?

When Ye Jingtang saw this, he turned around and walked into the house:

"what are you doing?"

The Queen Mother stayed here because she was bored when she returned to the palace, and under Shui'er's instigation, they made torture instruments together. When he discovered that the night terror had come, his face suddenly became embarrassed, and he quickly stuffed the messy things into his sleeves:

"Nothing...just helping Qinghe."

Master Xuanji moved to the side to give some space:

"Come and work when you have nothing to do. There are so many confidantes, at least a dozen children, each with a small car. Do you want He He to be busy to death?"

"Haha, how should I do this?"

"Just follow the drawings."

Ye Jingtang came and sat down between the two of them. After banging his hands, he picked up the carving knife and wood and cut according to the content on the drawing.

The Queen Mother was sitting in front of the Night Terror Hall. She must have been embarrassed to take out the things. She didn't know how to handle a car, so she could only say:

"Why don't you go out and watch the fight? Just let Shui'er do these chores, so that she won't have too much energy and be messy all day long."

Master Xuanji originally wanted to save some noodles for her best friend, but when she heard this, she was naturally unhappy and turned around and said:

"I don't know who complained to me just now, saying that there hasn't been much excitement on the ship these days and I can't sleep well at night..."

"Where did I say that? What I said was that we didn't have time to play together, and I didn't mean to do that kind of thing together..."

"We've all come together. If we don't do that kind of thing, what else do you want to play?"

"..."

Ye Jingtang saw that the hand warmer was speechless and wanted to interrupt, but suddenly a voice came from the next door:

Bang~

Ding-dang-dang-dang~~

It sounded like the pot lid flying up and bouncing on the ground a few times.

Ye Jingtang was stunned, and immediately flew up, landed at the door of the alchemy room and looked inside. Qinghe, wearing a red and yellow winter skirt, jumped to the door with his arms curled up on his chest, two feet away from the alchemy furnace. .

The house that was clean just now was filled with white mist, with some medicinal liquid sprinkled on the ground, and a strong medicinal fragrance could be smelled.

"Qinghe?"

Ye Jingtang quickly came to him and turned Qing He around to look at him. Qing He's eyes were full of embarrassment and there were some medicine stains on his skirt. He quickly checked around:

"Why did the furnace explode? Didn't it get burned?"

With Fan Qinghe's skills, the probability of refining the medicine to explode the furnace is extremely slim. This scene could only happen because he was distracted by eavesdropping on the chatter next door and failed to pay attention to the heat.

Seeing Ye Jingtang being greeted with greetings, Fan Qinghe looked embarrassed:

"I'm fine. Well...it's probably because the weather is too cold and the heat is unstable. I'll make another pot."

After Ye Jingtang made sure that Qing He was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and smacked his face:

"It's better not to do such a dangerous thing yourself. From now on, I'll do it and you can order me to do it."

The original intention of these words was concern, but a voice came from next door:

"You're not afraid of boiling water, are you?"

"Shui'er, what are you talking about..."

?

Ye Jingtang felt that Shui'er had not been punished for a few days, and she was really a little skinny.

Fan Qinghe also frowned, and immediately wanted to drag Ye Jingtang to the next door, ready to teach the lawless demon girl a lesson.

But before a few people started messing around, footsteps could be heard outside the yard.

Sanniang, who was dressed as the wife of a rich family, came to the entrance of the courtyard and looked around:

"Shocking?"

Ye Jingtang was about to push Shui'er onto the table. When he saw this, he quickly acted serious and turned around and said:

"What's wrong? Another guest is coming?"

"That's not the case. Master She has come over and asked you to come into the palace quickly and be summoned by the Holy One."

"Yeah?"

Ye Jingtang glanced in the direction of the imperial city and came outside the courtyard:

"Then I'll go over and take a look."

Pei Xiangjun walked side by side, grabbed Ye Jingtang's wrist, thought about it for a moment, and said:

"I feel like there are other arrangements in the palace. You've been busy for almost two years and you haven't stopped running around. I have to give you a rest, right?"

Ye Jingtang knew that Sanniang was concerned about him, so he immediately turned around and lifted Sanniang off the ground:

"If Yuhu can find something to do with me, it must be a big deal. There will be plenty of time to take a break from now on, not less than these two days."

Pei Xiangjun also knew this, and sighed softly, hugged his neck, put his lips together, and kissed him well before he stood down and straightened his clothes;

"I know, leave early and come back early."

Ye Jingtang nodded and smiled, then flew away, heading towards the imperial city...
