"I feel that I have become stronger again."
Sun Lang's tone was very calm, and there was actually a peaceful smile on his face.
Empress was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly, "You don't look bald."
Sun Lang was startled at first, and then he reacted and laughed. "It's rare that you still remember that story."
Empress's voice was so hard that there were no edges. "That kind of whimsical story, I can't forget it even if I want to."
She seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and continued to taunt him. "Stronger?
Just like in those whimsical stories you told, where you can defeat everything with determination and momentum? "
Sun Lang said seriously, "You should say 'What do you think you can protect with your mind'. I remember I told you that story before."
Lin Daiyu poked her head over. Although Sun Lang didn't directly answer her question just now, the young girl had already detected an answer that made her feel at ease from her brother's words. Thus, her mood became better again. She said to the Emperor Concubine with a stern expression, "Why should the weak fight!"
When the words of these two were put together, they actually formed a subtle mockery.
However, Empress did not care about this. She looked meaningfully at Sun Lang. "You really did make such a choice, hmph, for these two women."
Only Sun Lang knew what Empress was talking about.
The biggest secret about his origin, as long as he said it, he could cleanly cut off all ties with the Rongguo family, and completely bid farewell to the past … but Sun Lang still did not say it.
He just did not want to.
He knew the feeling of having his hopes shattered, especially the feeling of having false hopes that eventually turned into despair. It was just like how he had deceived himself before. The transmigrators in the books would eventually integrate into this world and become natives. He had also slowly faded his longing for his hometown and his attachment to his identity. After all, most of the transmigrators in the books would be like this.
But the Great Barren Mountain gave him a head-on blow.
Even now, he was unwilling to think about everything that had happened there. All of the guesses of the outside world, whether it was the guesses of the court, the people, or his old brothers of the past, none of those deductions and vague truths were completely correct … He did not want to think about the true truth a second time.
There was nothing more painful and desperate than that.
He knew how it felt to have his hopes dashed.
Therefore, he just didn't want Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai to experience that feeling again. He didn't want to see their tears again. From their joy today, it could be seen how sad they were two years ago. Now, they were happy because of this heaven-sent reunion. There was no need to shatter this hope.
The taste of despair and pain, since you have personally tasted it, don't let the person who loves you experience it again. This kind of feeling is only suitable to be shared with the enemy.
Yes, enemies.
He looked at Empress and showed an inexplicable smile. Since I heard that The Devil Ancestor revealed your father's plan, I knew that your throne was secure.
You should take a good look at the taste of despair hidden under hope.
With this kind of joy and pleasure, Sun Lang said slowly, "Why, are you envious?"
Empress said coldly, "Nonsense, I just think that your soft-heartedness is surprisingly stupid."
"That's why I said that you will never understand this feeling."
Sun Lang smiled faintly. He thought of the night when the Black Armor entered Mingzhou. After he strangled Qin Hui to death, he was about to kill to his heart's content, but Yinluo came in the end and stopped all of this. These days, he occasionally thought of what happened that night. In addition to a faint warmth, he was also a little confused.
If the person who faced the Black Armor Army that night was not the Grand Marshal Sun Lang who was determined to rescue his comrades, but an avenger who was full of murderous rage, how would things end?
He did not know, because there were no ifs, and time could not be turned back. He only knew that he made a choice, and the result was not bad. He at least avoided the worst situation, which was enough.
Speaking of which, fate was very strange. At that time, the simple-minded big-breasted constable actually played such an important role. This could already be called the course of history.
— — Perhaps his feelings at that time were the same as now. He just did not want to see Yinluo's disappointed and unfamiliar eyes, did not want to see Miss Zhao's determined and confused expression, did not want to see Zhao Yunlong holding a long spear ready to kill the enemy side by side with him, and did not want to see Master Lu's helpless expression of "Why did you fall into this again?"
Perhaps that was all.
How could people only live for themselves?
Those familiar faces appeared in his mind. He turned to look at Sister Lin and Sister Bao and sighed softly. His eyes were soft and helpless. "Anyway, these two won't make a difference."
Empress's expression immediately changed. "What did you say?"
Sun Lang immediately came back to his senses. He cursed inwardly. He was too f * cking into the role and could not help but say such words!
Sun Lang, oh Sun Lang, you are too careless!
— — Even if you have to start a harem, become a gentle herbivore, and become the person you wanted to be the most when you were young, you can't be so arrogant and complacent!
But Sun Lang was Sun Lang after all. His reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately put on a helpless expression. "So many years of friendship, how can I forget just like that? If you don't force me to that extent, I won't be willing to cross swords with my former comrades. I don't even want to hurt the hearts of those old brothers, let alone my Bao Jie Jie and Lin Mei Jie.
These two won't make a difference. "
— — Good!
This way, it can be covered up!
Arthas, my son, you have to remember that we use white lies and beautiful deceptions to rule the harem!
He first glanced at Empress. This woman still had a suspicious look on her face. But it doesn't matter!
She is naturally suspicious. As long as I say something, she will definitely instinctively feel that there is a conspiracy in it, but she can't figure out what the problem is even after thinking for a long time. It's nothing to worry about!
Sun Lang once again looked at his two cousins with a gaze that hid a trace of curiosity in his calm demeanor.
Sister Lin looked touched — this was a matter of course!
Sister Bao also looked touched. — — Check!
Set!
Great!
Success!
Achievement!
— — Ah, the onlooker sees the game clearly. This is the situation. Even if Sister Bao is meticulous and intelligent, when she encounters such a situation, her heart is in a mess. How can she have time to think about other things?
Her heart was only filled with romantic emotions!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Sun Lang, you are really amazing!
Sun Lang cheered in his heart, and then calmly carried out the next step.
Strike while the iron is hot. I have to beat them at their own game. I don't want to give them time to react. If that's the case, then this is what I will do …
Sun Lang revealed a hearty smile, full of the aura of a good man who also protected his wife. His shiny teeth reflected a dazzling luster under the light, and he laughed in a magnetic tone. "Well, we're all family, so don't put on such an expression of being an outsider.
— — Power!
Sister Lin's eyes had already narrowed into two beautiful crescent moons. She smiled very happily.
Sister Bao's way of expressing her emotions was more restrained. She also revealed a blushing smile, "Husband is right. We are a family. We shouldn't treat each other as outsiders …"
Good!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, the Grand Marshal's cavalry continues to advance!
Then Sun Lang's body shook, revealing the strong aura of the head of the family. He waved his hand and laughed heartily, "That's right. A family should support each other. Now, there is one thing that I need to trouble Sister Bao to do. I think only Sister Bao can take on this heavy responsibility."
— — Skill!
Sister Bao heard this and immediately said seriously, "Please tell me, husband. I will do my best!"
Sun Lang chuckled and said, "Sister Bao is really reliable. Then, I will leave the negotiation with Empress to you. After all, you saw it just now. I couldn't even say three sentences to her before we started fighting. If this goes on, we won't be able to reach a conclusion in three months … I have thought about it. With Sister Bao's talent, intelligence, wisdom, and alertness, I am afraid that you are the most suitable person to replace me. So, can I trouble you?"
— — Swiftness!
Xue Baochai was startled when she heard this. Then, she understood Sun Lang's intention. Her face showed a touched expression. She clasped her fist and bowed heavily and replied, "Yes!
A Lowly General obeys! "
Sun Lang smiled and said, "This is just a request from a family member. So, Sister Bao, I will leave it to you. As a husband, please take back the losses that I suffered on the battlefield. As a wife, please take it back on the negotiation table!"
— — Ugh!
Outside!
Attack!
Attack!
It was a complete and total victory. Sun Lang, who had multiple special attacks, could deal with Sister Bao easily!
In this case, the plan was perfect!
Although that woman brought Big Sister Bao and Little Sister Lin here, I can divide their factions and rope in Big Sister Bao to deal with the Empress Concubine. After the matter is settled, I can send them all away and resolve the fatal danger of the Asura Field!
Ah, what a marvelous way of borrowing the enemy's strength!
Tai Chi and The Heaven and Earth Great Shift combined are not as good as me!
Zhang Wuji, this kind of scum who doesn't dare to open a harem!
Sun Lang was very happy. He turned to Empress and asked, "You don't have any objections, right?"
Empress said coldly, "I have objections. Is there any use?"
Sun Lang nodded with a smile. "It's good that you know."
Xue Baochai dispelled the somewhat hostile atmosphere at the right time. She bowed to Empress and said, "Your Highness, I am sorry to offend you. Compared to the imperial edict, my husband's words are more useful to me."
… Well, this was not dispelling, but gaining the upper hand by a show of strength.
However, Empress was not angry. She glanced at Sun Lang and then said to Xue Baochai, "It's fine. After all, you are family. I have no objections. But … should we start now?"
Xue Baochai asked politely, "Your Highness, are you tired?"
The Empress Concubine nodded and said: "This is a desolate place and we just had bandits rush through our camp. I am truly a bit tired. Anyways, this isn't something that can be discussed in a day or two. Since we have already reached an agreement, we don't need to waste time here, so …"
She looked at Sun Lang again and said as if nothing had happened, "Why don't we quickly break camp tomorrow and go to Mingzhou to discuss the details there?"
