Chapter 2873 2875【Crossing Swords】
The **** team was hungry and thirsty for food and drink all the way. They traveled at dawn and stayed overnight. It is natural to work hard.
However, every loss must be accompanied by a gain.
After so many days together, the relationship between Xiang Nan and Yu Xiulian has become closer and closer.
?In fact, the two of them had feelings for each other, and they were only separated by a layer of window paper.
?As long as either party can take a bold step forward, the matter will basically be settled.
? It was just that Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian had never dared to take a step forward due to secular prejudices and ethical principles, so they had been dilly-dallying and procrastinating for so many years.
?Li Mubai is now in her forties, and Yu Xiulian is in her late thirties.
In modern society, this age is considered an older youth. In ancient times, it was even more remarkable. People of the same age as them may be grandfathers and grandmothers.
?So Xiang Nandu wanted to seize the time to establish their relationship.
…
“Xiulian, I just saw this hairpin and thought it suited you very well, so I bought it.” Xiang Nan took out a hairpin and said, “Can I help you plug it in?”
"Why spend so much money? I''ve traveled all over the world and am covered in dust. How could I use such expensive jewelry?" When Yu Xiulian saw it, although she was happy in her heart, she still refused.
"What are you talking about? I don''t think this kind of jewelry is decent enough for you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It''s just the best jewelry in this small place, that''s it. When we get to the capital, I will help you find good ones." "
?Although Li Mubai likes Yu Xiulian, he has always done it out of love and kept it polite. Not only has he never confessed his feelings, but he has never given her any tokens of love such as hairpins, hairpins, jade pendants, or bracelets.
It can be said that he is a straight man.
Xiang Nan was not as pedantic as him. Seeing the beauty of the pearl hairpin, he bought it directly and gave it to Yu Xiulian.
Because he knows that feelings need to be managed.
Yu Xiulian was happy and embarrassed at the same time when she heard what he said. She was so excited that she couldn''t help herself.
“Here, let me plug it in for you~” Xiang Nan said, approaching Yu Xiulian, and slowly inserted the hairpin on her head, “It’s so beautiful~”
Yu Xiulian is not ugly at all. According to the original work, "She is neither tall nor short, very slim, with a melon-shaped face and two misty eyes. She seems to be smiling when she is not smiling. The two sides of the cherry mouth are set off With two smiles."
??Although she has been escorting for many days and has a bit of a dusty appearance, she still can''t hide her beauty and can be called a first-class beauty.
Yu Xiulian had never acted so intimately with Li Mubai, and received his praise. She couldn''t help but blush with embarrassment, and her heartbeat was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
…
"Xiulian, nothing in this world is eternal. The sky will collapse, the earth will sink, the sea will dry up, and people will die." Xiang Nan took advantage of the situation and held Yu Xiulian''s hand and said, "We can only live this life, if we can''t sincerely If we treat ourselves and ask ourselves directly, our life will be in vain.
At the last moment of retreat, I realized that everything can be given up, including money, fame, sect, martial arts...only my feelings for you cannot be given up.
I can''t stop my desire. I really want to be with you. Even just sitting quietly can make me calm. Xiulian, what about you? "
When Yu Xiulian heard his confession, she couldn''t help but feel excited and trembling all over. She nodded heavily.
In fact, she has been struggling to suppress her feelings for Li Mubai for so many years.
?She also really wanted to be with him, but she was limited by worldly prejudices and ethics. In addition, she was a daughter, and she had to be a little reserved, so she didn''t dare to reveal her feelings to Li Mubai. Therefore, the two of them can only be separated from each other.
?Now that Xiang Nan boldly confesses his true feelings to her, she naturally doesn''t want to escape anymore.
Xiang Nan immediately put her in his arms, hugged her tightly, and then said in her ear, "When we get back, let''s go and sweep Sizhao''s grave together."
Yu Xiulian nodded after hearing this.
…
The **** team traveled for more than ten days and finally arrived in the capital.
At this time, it was the forty-eighth year of Qianlong''s reign, and the world was still at peace.
Coupled with the two master escorts Yu Xiulian and Xiang Nan, it is naturally foolproof.
Yu Xiulian sent the goods to the warehouse. After the handover was clear, she followed Xiang Nan to Tiebele Mansion.
"Xiulian, Mubai, you are going to Beijing together?" Tiebeile couldn''t help being happy when he saw Xiang Nan and Yu Xiulian coming together, "How could it be that we are so destined?"
"Mu Bai came here this time to entrust this matter to Lord Beile." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and smiled, then placed the sword box on the table, "Please Lord Beile, please accept it."
Tie Beile opened the sword box and took a look, and was shocked, "Green Underworld Sword?! Mu Bai, this is your personal sword. The so-called sword is given to a hero. In terms of swordsmanship and martial ethics in this world, you are the only one worthy of it." This sword is too heavy a gift for me to accept."
"Master Beile, this sword has caused countless grievances in the world. I will not let go of the grievances." Xiang Nan explained, "I am ready to withdraw from the world. From now on, I will stay with Xiulian and live together, and we will live together. I don’t want this sword to cause trouble anymore.”
"You..." Tie Beile was quite surprised when he heard this. He looked at Xiang Nan and Yu Xiulian. Seeing Yu Xiulian''s spring eyes and peach blossoms on her face, she couldn''t help but laugh, "Okay, okay, okay, that''s great."
??He is an old friend of Yu Xiulian''s father, Yu Xiongyuan, and treats Yu Xiulian as his own daughter. He also has a deep friendship with Li Mubai.
He knew that the two of them had feelings for each other, but due to etiquette, it was a pity that they could not be together for so many years. Now that they can break the shackles and come together, he is very happy.
"Actually, you should have been together a long time ago." Tiebele smiled, "In that case, I will accept this sword and take over all the grudges."
In the universe of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the government has the greatest power.
??In the original novel, Li Mubai was wanted by the government for killing the bully landlord Huang Jibei, and was also thrown into prison; people in the martial arts competition only dare to hurt others, but dare not kill. I was also worried that if there was a big fuss, it would attract officials.
??Therefore, as Tie Beile, as Lord Beile, a prince and a noble, with a wealth of wealth, naturally there will be no people in the world to disturb him, so it is the most appropriate thing to leave the sword to him for safekeeping.
"Thank you, Lord Beile." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said, "In that case, we won''t disturb you anymore. We will leave first and invite you to drink our wedding wine another day."
"Don''t leave in a hurry." Upon hearing this, Tie Beile quickly tried to persuade him, "You are not outsiders, just stay in this mansion."
When Xiang Nan and Yu Xiulian saw this, they couldn''t refuse, so they both agreed.
…
At this time, the steward Delu came in and reported, "Jiumen Admiral Yu has arrived."
“Change clothes.” Tie Beile ordered, and then asked Delu to take Xiang Nan and Yu Xiulian to the study to put the Qingming Sword.
Xiang Nan and Yu Xiulian saw that he had guests to meet, so naturally they couldn''t disturb him and followed Delu to Lord Beile''s study.
