I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 751 Where My Heart Leads

Zong Que grasped Lu Yangyang's hand.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her eyes, which were filled with complex emotions of sadness and heartache.

Then, looking ahead, he tightened the reins and led her forward.

The horse ran for a while, then slowed down.

“Yangyang, the road to growth is always full of thorns. This is true for life, and it is also true for the fate of this country.” Zong Que’s voice fell on Lu Yangyang’s ears. “I have chosen this path, so I must accept all the justice and injustice.”

"But you are the only one my heart desires."

The horse stopped.

The sound of the wind in my ears also stopped.

The sound of my heartbeat, pressed against my back, suddenly became clear.

Lu Yangyang subconsciously turned her head and met Zong Que's eyes.

We're going to have to part ways again.

The next time they meet, it will either be amidst the bloodshed in the capital or on the battlefield in the northern frontier.

Every step could be a matter of life and death.

If they survive, they can stay together forever.

If something unexpected happens, this will probably be their last moment of tenderness.

Lu Yangyang has not yet fully grasped the full meaning of the word "love," but she is already preparing for all possible unexpected events.

Lu Yangyang tilted her head back and kissed Zong Que's lips.

She didn't know how to express herself, how to comfort him, or how to face the impending storm. All she knew at that moment was that if you like someone, you should get close to them.

In chaotic times, every parting could be a final farewell, so she hoped that every time she remembered, it would be the warmth of his lips.

This is also what she desires.

It might have been a quarter of an hour, or it might have taken longer, long enough for Lu Yangyang's lips to feel slightly numb before she finally let go of him. The moment their eyes met, they both chuckled softly.

"When are you leaving?" Lu Yangyang asked him.

"I'll leave after I take you back to the city. I'll take Changshan with me. If all goes well, I'll return to the capital before winter." Zong Que hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder. The city gate was not far away.

"Then hurry up and get into the city. I told you I have some good stuff for you, really, you have to take it all with you." Lu Yangyang blushed slightly. Had they kissed for too long just now? It had definitely taken up a bit of time.

"Little jujube!"

Lu Yangyang hurriedly turned to look for her little jujube, but before she could whistle, she saw Pei Ji slowly riding over on a horse, leading the little jujube. He glanced at her slightly swollen lips and said leisurely, "Your little jujube is already fed."

Lu Yangyang blinked.

I always felt there was a hidden meaning in that sentence.

Zong Que glanced at him and said, "Keep holding his hand!"

After saying that, he took Lu Yangyang and left.

Pei Ji: "..."

Pei Ji tugged at the little jujube in his hand that wanted to run after its owner, and clicked his tongue. "See? You were just being unnecessary to go out."

Time was tight, and Lu Yangyang didn't have time to pack. Fortunately, she had asked Mingxiu to pack a box for her beforehand, which was full of pills that she had specially prepared.

She pulled Zong Que into the house, where they bumped into Huang Sumu, who was returning from the slaughterhouse.

Huang Sumu had been at the slaughterhouse arranged for him by Jing Chao for the past two days and hadn't seen Zong Que yet. He was quite surprised to suddenly see his master with such a person. He almost forgot to bow for a moment and stammered, "Master, Master?"

"Huh? Why are you back at this time?" Lu Yangyang asked.

"The slaughterhouse workers went to the village to collect pigs and encountered wild boars coming down the mountain. Several of them were injured. I came back to get the first-aid kit." Huang Sumu had been too absorbed in his work these past two days and hadn't brought his first-aid kit. He could only help stop the bleeding from the wounds first, and then come back to get the first-aid kit to treat the injuries. He had seen many such external injuries, and if they were not treated properly, they could be fatal, so he hurried back to get the first-aid kit.

"Is it that serious?" Lu Yangyang exclaimed in surprise.

Huang Sumu nodded.

“Then I’ll go with you later.” After Lu Yangyang finished speaking, she remembered Zong Que and quickly introduced him, “This is my husband.”

"A-Que, this is Su Mu, Huang Su Mu, the disciple I told you about. I'm going in to get something, please wait a moment."

After Lu Yangyang finished speaking, she left them behind and quickly ran back to get her things.

Huang Sumu stared in shock at Zong Que before him and quickly bowed, "Greetings, Master."
