Text Chapter 1570 Waiting for the Day when I Understand
What does it mean to scream miserably? Miao Yi was a little nervous because of this guy, and asked: "Is the Heavenly Concubine going to attack me?"
Red Armor General: "How do I know?"
Miao Yi: "Then what do you mean by asking me to scream miserably?"
Red Armor General: "Everyone knows that you have offended the Heavenly Concubine. I am kind enough to ask you to prepare yourself mentally, but you don't appreciate it, right? Don't waste time, Heavenly Concubine, look over here..."
Miao Yi looked over when he heard it, and sure enough, the woman with fluttering skirts in the distance turned her head and looked over here.
He staggered and was pushed by the Red Armor General. There was no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the other party into the air.
After both of them fell, the Red Armor General bowed and said: "Heavenly Concubine, Niu Youde has been brought here." After that, he stepped aside.
Miao Yi followed with a bow, "Greetings to the Heavenly Concubine!"
"Niu Youde, do you still recognize me?" Zhan Ruyi said lightly.
Yin Shuang and Bai Xue stared at Miao Yi and looked at him carefully. It was the first time for them to look closely at the famous Niu Youde, and their eyes were somewhat unfriendly. First of all, it was because Miao Yi had offended their master, and they also thought that their master was here to settle accounts with Miao Yi. Secondly, they thought that Niu Youde was a little stupid. King Ying wanted to recruit him to resolve the previous grudge, but he chose to join King Kou. Otherwise, how could he have such trouble today.
Several red-armored generals on the side exchanged glances secretly, with a look of knowing everything. They all heard the unkindness in the tone of the Queen of Heaven. They estimated that Niu Youde was going to be unlucky, and began to think about how to show mercy later.
During this period, almost all the ordinary generals on duty in the Heavenly Palace had drunk with Miao Yi and got to know him. In the past, few of these generals would pay attention to Miao Yi, and it was even more impossible for them to take the initiative to come to his house for a drink and get to know him. For Miao Yi, this was probably a big surprise after being demoted.
"..." Miao Yi looked up in astonishment, and was really face to face with Zhan Ruyi. At this moment, he seemed to have an illusion that the person in front of him was clearly Zhan Ruyi. But it didn't look like Zhan Ruyi at all.
His thoughts instantly returned to the first time he met Zhan Ruyi many years ago, and the scene at that moment suddenly became unusually clear in his mind. They also looked at each other like this.
It was when the assessment team was gathering before entering Purgatory. It was raining heavily, and the rain was dripping under the eaves of the shed. In the rain, a tall woman wearing a section of purple armor of a general walked alone in the mud. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque under the helmet, and she was heroic, full of vigor and pride. Her bright eyes looked around and fell on him. The visitor was not friendly, and asked, "Are you Niu Youde?" Miao Yi had forgotten how he came. The woman said again, "An honest man should not do shady things. Niu Youde, listen to me. If you go to hell, I will take your life!"
The scene quickly moved to another room. It was the same woman, but she gave up all her dignity, took off her clothes, and exposed her upper body. She begged him tremblingly, saying that she did not want to enter the harem as a concubine, and begged him very humbly. She asked him to take her away.
When he refused, he witnessed with his own eyes the despair in the woman's eyes. He had seen that familiar despair when he was trapped in the demon pot many years ago, but he did not expect to see it again at that moment, so he felt a little heartache when he turned around. Before the reappearance, he had no ability to help. After the reappearance, he had the ability to help but stood aside for his own interests.
Later, he watched the woman board the phoenix chariot in a grand manner and became the high and mighty Ruyi Tianfei.
Since then, he has not seen her again until now, but now this woman has become almost unrecognizable to him, with an inexplicable sense of strangeness. Her figure was still tall and proud, but she was Zhan Ruyi but not the same Zhan Ruyi as before. She no longer had the beautiful eyebrows and eyes under the helmet, and no longer had the heroic appearance of wearing armor. She no longer had that vigor and pride, and her piercing eyes became silent, and her imposing edges became quiet and gentle.
She wore a long silver gauze skirt that dragged on the ground, and the belt tightened her waist, showing her full breasts, outlining the graceful curves of her tall figure. Her bun was decorated with dazzling headdresses, earrings, necklaces, and rings on her body. This woman never wore these jewelry even when she took off her armor.
The Zhan Ruyi who used to clamor to fight him to the death was gone, and she looked more like a pure woman.
The change was very big, a complete change from beginning to end. Miao Yi didn't know how she had lived these years. She must have been living a life of luxury in the Heavenly Palace, so she became like this. But he also knew that her personality could not adapt to the Heavenly Palace, and she had to stay in the high palace walls forever.
His heart was inexplicably clenched again, his lips tightened, and he bowed again and said: "Greetings to the Heavenly Concubine!" He didn't say whether he knew her or not.
No answer? Zhan Ruyi stared at his reaction with bright eyes. The two were silent for a while. She glanced up and down at Miao Yi's armor, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth: "A silver-armored heavenly soldier! If I remember correctly, this is the second time you have been demoted, right?"
"Yes!" Miao Yi replied. He was also demoted once at the end of the purgatory assessment. If the small world is counted, it is more than the second time he has been demoted.
Zhan Ruyi: "Others are getting bigger and bigger, but you are getting smaller and smaller. You went directly from a second-level general to the lowest-level first-level heavenly soldier. You are probably the first in the Heavenly Court."
Miao Yi: "This is all me..." He suddenly realized that he was no longer worthy of calling himself me, and he was not even qualified to call himself a humble official, because he did not even have a position, and his rank was already as low as it could be, so he changed his words and said: "This is all what I deserve!"
Zhan Ruyi looked into his eyes and said slowly: "I am now the Queen of Heaven, and you are just a small soldier. How do you feel about seeing me again?"
The red-armored generals on the side exchanged glances again, and Yin Shuang and Bai Xue also looked at each other. It sounded like the Queen of Heaven was going to attack Niu Youde.
For reasons of etiquette, Miao Yi did not dare to look directly at her, and bowed his head slightly and said: "I dare not compare myself with the Queen of Heaven."
Zhan Ruyi turned around and walked towards the green and green fields in the wind, "I haven't seen you for many years, please walk with me." She walked softly, and the ribbons of her skirt fluttered in the wind.
Walk with the Queen of Heaven, is this appropriate? Miao Yi hesitated. Yin Shuang and Bai Xue extended their hands impolitely and said in a deep voice: "Please!"
Miao Yi followed slowly behind, not daring to follow too closely. The ribbon on Zhan Ruyi fluttered in the wind, so it was inconvenient for her to touch the clothes of the Concubine.
Yin Shuang and Bai Xue followed, followed by several red-armored generals.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Ruyi turned back and said, "I didn't ask you to follow me. I'm walking alone with him."
Yin Shuang and Bai Xue were stunned, and several red-armored generals were stunned.
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate!" Yin Shuang shouted anxiously. How could the Concubine walk alone with another man?
A red-armored general also bowed and advised: "Your Majesty, we are ordered to protect your safety and dare not stay away!"
They were indeed worried that if the Concubine wanted to take revenge and provoke Niu Youde to fight back, they would be too far away to rescue her if something happened. If something really happened to the Concubine, they would also lose their heads.
Miao Yi was also shocked. Walking alone with the Emperor of Heaven's concubine, what a joke? He quickly stopped and clasped his fists and said, "If the queen has any instructions, I am all ears." The implication is that if there is anything to say, just say it here.
"I say it again, I am walking alone with him, I have something to ask him, you are not allowed to follow!" Zhan Ruyi threw down the words and continued to move forward.
She insisted on doing this, what can they do?
Miao Yi could only keep a distance and follow behind.
Walking to a small mound covered with green grass, Zhan Ruyi stopped on it, her skirt fluttering in the wind.
Miao Yi stood under the small mound and kept his distance.
Standing on it and looking at the world, Zhan Ruyi suddenly said, "I have seen Yun Zhiqiu."
"..." Miao Yi looked up in astonishment, not knowing what this meant.
"To be honest, after seeing her, I couldn't help but ask you something."
"I'm all ears."
"My dear? How did the Niu Youde I knew become so humble? Where is the Niu Youde who dared to go against the dignitaries in the court? Yijie Tianbing, is this the future you gave up for me?" Zhan Ruyi turned around and looked down at him, "So I can't figure it out. A widow, I don't see how good she is, nor do I see how much better she is than me... Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. The past is over, I won't pursue it anymore, I just feel sorry for what happened in the past. I feel confused. You can do this for a widow, which means you are not afraid of trouble or care about your future. Why did you reject me at the beginning? Am I much worse than this widow? "
Hearing that she would not pursue the past, Miao Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Some things cannot be explained clearly."
Zhan Ruyi: "Is it because I have repeatedly troubled you, so you hate me?"
Miao Yi: "I dare not!"
Zhan Ruyi: "This matter has puzzled me for many years. I just want to know the answer to find peace of mind. I have no intention. There is no outsider here, you and I might as well be honest. "
Miao Yi nodded silently.
Zhan Ruyi: "If I go back to that moment and give you another chance to choose, will you take me with you?"
Miao Yi remained silent, and finally slowly uttered two words, "No!"
Zhan Ruyi: "Why? I want to know why, tell me the real reason."
Miao Yi said slowly: "The queen entered the palace because the queen shoulders the responsibility that belongs to the queen, and Niu refused because Niu shoulders the responsibility that belongs to Niu."
Zhan Ruyi: "I have responsibilities to the family behind me, what responsibilities do you have behind you? For your old subordinates? How many subordinates did you kill in the battle of Youdingyu? For your concubine? You can take her with you, you know I will agree. Or, you are just eager for me to enter the palace."
Miao Yi: "No! It's the reason I just said, the queen may understand it in the future."
"In that case, then I will wait until the day when I understand." (To be continued.)
