Chapter 1763

If life could always be like the first time we met, how good would that be?

Lu Yourong felt inexplicably sad, and the detachment she had painstakingly built up vanished in an instant.

Gao Yang had wanted to create a relaxed atmosphere, but he didn't expect it to backfire.

So, he sighed and said, "Miss Lu, why must you do this?"

"I, Gao, am not worth it, and I am not worthy."

As Lu Zhen's granddaughter, Lu Yourong could be said to have the top family background in the Great Qian; she didn't have to worry about food or drink and could completely live a comfortable life in Changancheng with servants waiting on her hand and foot.

She didn't need to make this trip to Hexi.

Moreover, she was a woman; for a woman to disguise herself as a man in this military camp surrounded by men, how inconvenient was that?

Even though Great Qian armor was generally looser and could cover some things, Lu Yourong was gifted; how many layers did she have to wrap to kill off that talent!

Now that her identity was exposed, she didn't need to suppress her talent anymore, and the red fish-scale armor before him was being pushed up, as if it were about to burst open.

This was imaginable.

At the same time, this was also the first time Gao Yang had seen Lu Yourong's talent, and it was the only time his eyes held no appreciation, only heartache!

He, Gao Yang, never feared how bad or vicious his opponents were, nor did he fear any schemes or tricks in the world, but he feared... all the goodness in the world!

Even if he was the world's number one poisonous strategist, he was ultimately not a heartless person!

Hearing this, Lu Yourong became visibly flustered.

Especially under Gao Yang's deep gaze, Lu Yourong felt as if she had nowhere to hide.

She didn't dare to look into Gao Yang's eyes and forced herself to calm down.

"Gao Yang, don't overthink it!"

"Those words from my grandfather were all fake; I lied to him. Don't take them to heart... I'm just saying, you don't understand me at all!"

"My father and brothers all died on the battlefield, so since I was young, I have taken pride in expanding territory and bringing glory to the family. It's just that this world is too conservative and has too much prejudice against women, but I, Lu Yourong, simply don't believe it. Who says women are inferior to men?"

"This matter of yours is just a catalyst. What are we? We are brothers. This Helian Cha riding on your head to take a dump is the same as riding on my, Lu Yourong's, head to take a dump!"

"Can I endure this? I must fight him!"

"Don't overthink it, and don't be troubled. Don't you dare have the thought that I treat you as a brother while you want to sleep with me!"

"That would be unforgivable by heaven and earth, and you'd be punished with three stabs and six holes!"

Lu Yourong spoke at an extremely fast speed, not giving Gao Yang a single chance to interrupt.

Gao Yang remained silent, just staring at Lu Yourong's face, which was full of heroic spirit.

Lu Yourong's face turned red, and she hurriedly said.

"Alright, the war is over!"

"Minister Gao, you should get busy. I'll walk around nearby by myself."

After saying that.

Lu Yourong didn't give Gao Yang a chance to speak and rode her date-red warhorse, leaving toward the distance.

Gao Yang watched the direction Lu Yourong left in and didn't speak for a long time.

Behind him.

Not far away.

Chen Sheng sighed, "What a sin!"

Wu Guang said, "What a beast!"

The two sighed in unison.

But when Gao Yang came over, Chen Sheng hurriedly said, "Minister Gao, you've had it too hard; your subordinate feels a bit of heartache for you!"

Wu Guang nodded, "Me too!"

Gao Yang: "..."

Lu Yourong galloped all the way until she reached a babbling stream.

She dismounted, a look of annoyance on her face.

"Lu Yourong, you are simply stupid to death!"

"Who is Gao Yang? The Great Qian's number one poisonous strategist, the Living Yama who makes the world tremble. His control over the human heart is something even those old foxes who have been in the business world for a long time are no match for."

"You spoke so fast, as if you were afraid he wouldn't know that you had pondered this thousands of times in your heart and thought it out long ago!"

Here, it was peaceful.

Apart from the wind whistling across the grasslands, there was no other sound echoing.

Lu Yourong strolled along the stream, and after walking a distance, she slowly squatted down.

This stream was runoff melted from the mountains, clear to the bottom.

Lu Yourong looked at her face in the river water.

She had lost weight.

And she had gotten darker.

She was in a daze for a while.

At this time.

Giddy up!

The sound of horse hooves came from afar, and Lu Yourong looked alert, subconsciously turning her head.

She saw Lu Zhen riding over.

Lu Yourong hurriedly turned her head and scooped up a handful of clear water to wash her face.

"Yourong? Why are you here alone?"

"Washing my face!"

Lu Yourong scooped up a handful of water, not looking back.

"Alas! Minister Shangguan risked her life for this brat; this brat seems heartless, but in reality, he is a man who values affection. With our Lu family's status, we absolutely cannot go over to be a concubine; this is a messy account that cannot be cleared up!"

"Yourong, don't blame your grandfather; grandfather also wants you to be happy!" Lu Zhen stared at his granddaughter's back, his heart aching, and sighed.

"Yourong knows. I just didn't want him to die. Once we return to Changancheng, I will be my Lu Yourong, and he will be his Gao Yang; we will have no more relationship!"

"I have let go!"

Lu Yourong's voice was calm, letting the cold stream water pour over her face.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Then when we return to Changancheng, grandfather will find you a good marriage. You aren't young anymore; if you don't marry, it will be difficult later." Lu Zhen was worried and asked tentatively.

Lu Yourong continued to wash her face with clear water and responded.

"Hmm!"

"Then grandfather is leaving?"

"Hmm!"

Lu Zhen glanced at Lu Yourong's back and gave a final instruction, "Although the Battle of Hexi has subsided, don't run too far; you still need to be careful and vigilant."

"Hmm!"

Lu Zhen sighed and left.

When there was no more movement behind her and Lu Zhen had truly left, Lu Yourong stopped her hands and stared blankly at the stream.

At that time, it was a beautiful day, and in the midst of peace, the stream flowed slowly, but it rippled in circles. ===== CHAPTER 1765 =====
