Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 379 Ask the world what love is

Zhao Yan walked lightly, along the familiar corridor, towards her bedroom.

Along the way, many maids and servants stopped their work and bowed to her.

With a smile on her face, Zhao Yan nodded mechanically to them.

But there was no focus in her eyes, and her thoughts had already flown nine days away.

"How do I feel about Gu Xu?"

She asked herself over and over again in her mind.

But the specific answer to this question was difficult for her to describe in words.

She remembered that the first time she met Gu Xu was in the "Tianlong Secret Realm". The other person's outstanding appearance like a banished fairy really made her eyes shine.

Of course, Zhao Yan, who has a prominent background and has been on the battlefield for many years, is not like an ordinary girl whose heart beats faster when she sees a beautiful man and cannot walk.

She just felt that this person looked familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time.

But this does not affect her to regard the other party as a strong enemy.

The two were intrigued by each other, and they fought until the sky was dark.

Next is what happened to Curry in the royal room.

When the cracked "flint" appeared in front of her, she felt that the belief in her heart was also torn apart along with this black stone.

It's like she's wearing the prettiest dress, all the make-up, and planning to go hiking in the countryside on a sunny afternoon.

Suddenly slipped and fell into the stinking ditch.

The dress is dirty, the makeup is smeared, and the whole plan is ruined.

But when she was most disappointed, a handsome young man in blue clothes appeared in front of her, stretched out his hand to her, and said to her, "Maybe I can help you."

At that time, she only felt that his smile was very warm, and the temperature of his palm was also very warm.

"Maybe it was from that moment on!"

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and thought silently.

I have to say that the feeling of "heartbeat" is really wonderful. It often quietly plants seeds in a person's heart and grows slowly under the water of time-when you realize its existence, it will It has grown into a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves.

After walking to the end of the corridor, she opened the door and entered her room.

The personal maid, Qiuyan, knew her habits very well, and filled the wooden bathtub behind the screen with hot water early on, and put flower petals and spices in it.

For a while, the fragrance in the house filled the air, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Zhao Yan ordered Qiuyan to close the doors and windows, draw the curtains, and then took off her loose red robe, apron and underpants, and with Qiuyan's support, she stepped into the bathtub.

This tub is big enough to hold two people.Zhao Yan stretched her limbs inside alone, feeling that it was more than enough.

Lantang with floating petals made her skin as white and delicate as milk.

She gently swayed her two shapely and elastic long legs, making circles of ripples on the water.

When Qiuyan was washing her hair beside her, she couldn't help asking: "Qiuyan, have you ever liked anyone?"

Qiuyan couldn't figure out why the young lady, who had always been uninterested in love, would suddenly ask her such a question.

But she still replied truthfully: "Yes, Your Highness. A few years ago, I liked a soldier in the Border Army."

"Why do you like him?" Zhao Yan asked.

"Uh... I'm not too clear about it, maybe it's because he's tall and handsome," Qiuyan thought for a while and replied, "The first time I saw him, he happened to be returning from the frontier in triumph. At that time, he was riding a bay red horse, his silver armor was shining in the sun, and the people on the side of the road were cheering for him loudly.

"That's when I thought, I'm going to marry someone like him in the future."

"and then?"

"Then...Actually, Your Highness, he doesn't know my existence at all, and I don't know his name. It's just that every time he goes out and comes back, I will go to the city gate to see him. As long as his eyes look towards For my part, my heart would be pounding.

"In this way, I secretly watched him for more than a year.

"But later, I found out from others that he was engaged to his neighbor's girl. Hearing this news, I hid under the covers and cried all night, and never saw him again.

"Doesn't that sound ridiculous, Your Highness?"

Zhao Yan shook her head lightly.

"Actually, I just want to ask, how did you make sure you fell in love with someone?"

Qiuyan glanced out of the window and pondered for a while: "When you see him, your attention will be attracted to him unconsciously, all his movements will be slowed down, taken into your eyes one by one, and the wind will inadvertently blow you The strands of hair can be counted clearly.

"I want to be with him all the time, I feel happy when he smiles, feel sorry for him when he gets hurt, as if the wound is on my own body; if he talks and laughs with other opposite sexes, my heart will be sour, would be very disappointed."

"I understand." Zhao Yan was silent for a few seconds, then sat up slightly.

She closed her eyes, feeling the scalding water licking her skin.The temperature of the bath water is extremely high, enough to instantly burn an ordinary person.But Zhao Yan was safe and sound inside, and even felt very comfortable and comfortable.

Uncontrollably, scenes of practicing together with Gu Xu in "Xianyunju", watching the sunrise together, and crossing the border of Daqi appeared in her mind uncontrollably.

Zhao Changying's words were like a catalyst.

She originally thought that the relationship between herself and Gu Xu was pure friendship.

But after listening to what my father said today, every scene and every action of the two of them in the past seems to have a little more ambiguity.

Even subconsciously, she imagined the scorching water in the bathtub as his arms—Gu Xu was sitting behind her, stroking her, hugging her, and clinging to her tightly.

After realizing the fantasy in her subconscious, she pursed her lips and put her legs together, feeling ashamed, but also inexplicably looking forward to it.

When the water temperature gradually cooled, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked out of the bathtub. Her skin was slightly flushed, and transparent water beads rolled down her crystal clear legs.

"Bring me a dress," she told Qiu Yan, "bring something nicer."

Qiuyan obeyed her order and brought back an exquisitely crafted red dress embroidered with golden phoenix feather patterns.

After dressing neatly, Zhao Yan sat in front of the dressing table again, picked up the face powder and rouge that she hadn't touched for a long time, and carefully wiped them on her face and lips.

Zhao Yan has always acted neatly, seeking convenience on weekdays, and rarely dresses seriously.However, she is naturally beautiful, even if she is naked, she is enough to amaze all living beings.

Trying to make up today, she is still a little unskilled.

Her right hand, which is used to holding the spear, is still trembling uncontrollably when she picks up the eyebrow pencil.In the end, with the help of Qiu Yan, the whole set of makeup was completed.

"Your Highness is so picturesque!" Qiuyan looked at her face and exclaimed in an envious tone.

Zhao Yan stared at herself in the mirror for a while, she was beautiful, but she still felt that something was missing.

After a few seconds, a look of sudden realization appeared on her face, she took out a bottle of Yanhong Koudan from the cabinet, bent down, and carefully dyed it on her toes.

Zhao Yan's jade feet were moderately slender, pure and flawless, and her nails were round and neatly trimmed, just like a beautiful handicraft.

At this time, Koudan is applied, just like white porcelain dyed with enamel glaze, and red plum blossoms bloom on the snow.

After finishing all this, she stood on the red carpet with bare feet, looked at the full-length mirror a few times, and then asked Qiuyan, "Does it look good?"

Qiuyan stood blankly for a long time before she came to her senses and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Your Highness is even more beautiful than the female fairy in the story, even I was almost tempted just now."

"Can you talk?" Zhao Yan put her hands on her chest and glanced at her.

Qiu Yan immediately changed her words: "Your Highness is simply a fairy descending to earth."

Only then did Zhao Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the radiant Highness in front of her, Qiuyan hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking: "Your Highness told me these things today... Could it be that you are attracted to a certain man?"

"Yes."

After all, Zhao Yan is not an ordinary woman, she has always done things freely and freely, and does not give way to men.After recognizing his emotions, he didn't hesitate like a little girl, but admitted it openly.

Qiuyan looked at her with astonished eyes, feeling incredible. After thinking for a while, she continued to ask: "With your highness's status, what man in the world can't get it? As long as your highness waves his hand, all the men in Dayan will come Line up here obediently. Why..."

Having said that, Qiuyan shut her mouth, not daring to say "Why bother to please him".

Zhao Yan sighed softly, then smiled lightly: "He's different."

Then she paused for a moment, looking at Qiuyan: "If you were given another chance, would you catch that border soldier before he gets engaged?"

Qiuyan was stunned for a while, not expecting His Highness to ask such a question.

"I... I don't know. Well... But at least, I will take the initiative to say hello to him. Like now... I like him unilaterally, but he doesn't know my existence at all, and I feel so stupid .”

"So I don't want to repeat your mistakes." Zhao Yan patted her shoulder lightly, "I not only want to let him know what's on my mind, but I also want to snatch him away from another woman."

Qiuyan opened her eyes wide, suspecting that she had heard wrong.She never imagined that His Royal Highness, who is distinguished and beautiful, would go to grab men from other women.

Zhao Yan didn't notice the servant girl's expression.

Once again, the image of Gu Xu being seriously injured in Jingxing and falling from the sky like a broken kite flashed across her mind, and she felt more and more distressed.

"Idiot," she murmured in her heart, "I will protect you well from now on, and I will never leave you when you are most in danger, let alone sell your whereabouts to the enemy."

…………

At the same time, Gu Xu was in the Fire God Temple, listening to Chong Li and the priests complaining to him.
