alien army

Chapter 22

Chapter 21 Only if we met for the first time
In the next two days, Liu Yun carefully taught A Lei to practice his special skills in the mansion, and Jing Lei finally couldn't help it, and began to pester the second brother.

Although he is only one year younger than Liu Yun, he always feels that this second brother seems to be much older than himself, with a maturity far beyond his actual age.Maybe it's because the second brother has suffered a lot of twists and turns, he thought.He was very curious about what Liuyun taught Alei, and then he was curious about Liuyun itself.Isn't the second brother not good at magic and martial arts? Why do you suddenly understand this?

Confused, Jinglei tried several times to compete with Liuyun, but Liuyun only replied: "Beat the two sword masters beside me, come to me again."

In fact, Liu Yun knew his own business, every move and every style he learned before was a way to kill people, he was afraid that if he couldn't stop for a while, he would hurt Jinglei.But he still taught Jinglei the special combat skills. He believed that his younger brother, who was like a martial idiot, would achieve great things in the future.Moreover, he still has his own ideas about Jinglei's future.

When he had nothing to do, Liu Yun even asked people for some embroidery needles, and began to practice flying needles from his previous life.

On the 30th, His Majesty the Emperor George IX decreed that on the evening of January 752, 1, the celebration was held in the palace, with a grand banquet for all the ministers.At the same time, it was also decreed that because the prince was traveling abroad, the princess would entertain the children of the courtiers and the young talents of the imperial capital on his behalf.

The former decree was an annual practice, but the latter decree caused an uproar in the imperial capital, making the young nobles and some talented young people ecstatic about it.The princess has reached the age to be married, and she was originally engaged to Liu Yun, which broke their thoughts, but the subsequent changes made everyone see hope again.

And this banquet is a huge opportunity. If the princess can be tempted by it, wealth and prosperity will be just around the corner.Therefore, these people began to prepare meticulously, hoping to win the favor of the high-sighted princess at the banquet.

When A Lei told Liu Yun the news, Liu Yun remained calm, playing with the flying needle in his hand, as if he hadn't heard about it.

"Second brother, what's the matter with you? I found out that you are just a wooden person..." A Leijiao said angrily.

For this second brother, she was really speechless. He would quit the marriage that others could only dream of.For the princess's night banquet, others are preparing meticulously, but he is playing with embroidery needles.

"Why, the princess chooses and chooses all boys, why are you excited?" Seeing A Lei's anxious look, Liu Yun joked.

"You...you...Second brother, although you have divorced, you still have to prepare. Don't let people underestimate you." A Lei was almost confused by this second brother's anger.

"I didn't plan to go at all." Liu Yun continued, completely ignoring her feelings.

"I have to go. If you don't go, you won't show face to the royal family. Father won't let you go." Alei said angrily.

"That's true. Sigh, why did you choose to come back at this time, and encounter this kind of thing again." Liu Yun thought to himself, maybe he had to go out and show his eyes again now.

Since the bloody oath, the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital seems to have regarded him as a different kind of person, which is why he has been reluctant to go out since he came back.After all, it is not pleasant to be visited as some kind of creature in a zoo.

"Don't you just have a meal? She chooses hers, I eat mine, and then leave. There is nothing to prepare." Liu Yun said absently.

A Lei felt that she was completely defeated, and left the sentence "I don't want to talk to you, you big slob", and left.

After A Lei left, Liu Yun looked at the flying needle in his hand, but his mind went to the sky. "New Year's Eve, Yue'er. Who will be by your side in the New Year without me?"

On the second night, Liu Yun walked into the palace for the first time accompanied by Jing Lei and A Lei.The imperial palace, as the power center of a country, is synonymous with magnificence, majesty, austerity, coldness, and oppression in Liuyun's memory, but the Huoyun Empire's palace that appeared in front of him made him feel very novel.

It was a building similar to a medieval European castle. From a distance, it only made people feel elegant and elegant.After walking in, I didn't feel the strictness and coldness, I just felt as if I was in a big dance floor, and all kinds of magic lamps showed off the blurred colors.Compared with the well-dressed young nobles in the imperial capital, Liu Yun felt that his casual attire was a bit out of place.

"Fortunately, there is no sign at the door that prohibits entry to disheveled people." Liu Yun thought badly.

When I came to the hall where the princess was entertaining everyone, there were already many people inside, young men and women of all colors, gathered together and chatted in low voices.

"It seems that everyone is very active. The charm of beautiful women is really great." Liu Yun stretched his waist and smiled at A Lei.

"Everyone is looking forward to it, who is as lazy as you." A Lei laughed.

It should be said that regardless of the status of Princess Liuyun's "ex-fiancé" or "Emperor Capital Evil Younger", they are all very lethal.

When he walked into the hall with his younger siblings, one after another gazes fell on him, and the hall suddenly became silent.When the three of Liuyun found their seats and sat down, there were low voices of discussion in the hall again, of course, most of them were aimed at him.

"Oh my god, this guy is back!"

"Wow, that handsome guy who swore the blood oath is really handsome!"

"He actually has the face to come. When the princess comes, I don't know how wonderful his expression will be."

Liu Yun didn't seem to hear these discussions, and began to study the delicacies on the table with his eyes.And Jinglei looked angry, and Alei stretched out his hand to sit on the chair.

"Third brother, if you can't learn to be still, you should give up the pursuit of martial arts early. The mountain collapses before you and your color does not change, and the ground cracks below you and your spirit does not change, that is the demeanor of a master. This small scene, What are you excited about?"

Liu Yun looked at Jinglei and said in a deep voice.Jinglei froze for a moment, lowered his head and pecked at Liuyun's words.

At this moment, Liu Yun felt a gaze stab at him.Looking up, Hughes was smiling at him from a distance, as if saying, "Do you still want me to beat you?"

Liu Yun also smiled. He didn't have any hatred for Mr. Hughes. Instead, he was sincerely grateful to him for accompanying him through those desperate days.

Liu Yun's smile made Hughes feel a little surprised, and then looked at Liu Yun with a playful expression.

"The princess is here!"

Following the maid's clear voice, the hall became extremely quiet.People's eyes followed the sound and looked around.

Liu Yun looked up with some curiosity.His gaze traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers at that moment.Everything is just as it was when we first met.

Following her figure, Liu Yun came to the small lake where he first met her.It was still that spring morning, she stood there with snowy skin, crystal clear as jade, bright eyes, autumn water as a god, elegant as spring plums blooming snow, ice and clean as autumn chrysanthemums covered with frost, tranquil as orchids and empty valleys, delicate and charming as clouds Chengtang.The white long dress supports her youthful and beautiful body; the long hair like black jade, like the ink splashing technique of landscape painting, cascades down casually, like flying like flying.

She happily walked by the small lake, and the pool of clear water also sang for her, sparkling with sparkling light.As the wind blew by, she even brought up her clothes and fluttered. She was like a fairy in the lake, wanting to ride the waves and ride the wind away.

She walked towards him slowly, with only a slight smile, she took over the amorous feelings of that day.The memory freezes as a scroll at this moment.Let the years and wind and rain fade its original color, leaving only a yellow picture scroll, but the scenery in the picture is still fresh, so that he will never be able to walk out of that spring morning from then on.

"Yue'er, are you here? I have had a hard time alone, and you are finally here! Come closer, let me take another deep look at you, Yue'er! I thought that I would never see you again in this life." Now that it's your turn, heaven will still have mercy on me."

Great happiness surged into Liu Yun's heart, and the endless lovesickness had already turned into clouds and smoke. The long wait finally came to fruition.

Just for the goodbye at this moment, why not wait another 1000 years!

The time-staggered love made Liu Yun Ruo fall into a trance, and there was no one in his eyes except her.

"Second brother, I've introduced you, hurry up and salute." Alei's hasty voice rang in Liu Yun's ear, and she also hurriedly tugged on his sleeve.

wake up.

That hazy figure was instantly clear in Liu Yun's eyes, and his eager eyes were suddenly frozen.

"It's not you, Yue'er, I misread it. It's just that momentary feeling, that white long skirt, that black jade-like hair, and that autumn-like eyes, which made me hallucinate." Liu Yun shook Shaking his head, he sighed and looked away.

"Maybe, it's just that I miss you too much."

Everyone's obsession fell into Naya's eyes, and she was very satisfied with their reaction.It's just that kind of secretive look, wanting to look but not daring to look, which made her feel a little funny while being satisfied.There was only a fiery gaze, which fell directly on her body, which made her feel uncomfortable and surprised her.

"Who is so courageous?" Following that gaze, she saw a young man in white.And that gaze, at the moment she looked over, dimmed, and he also lowered his head dejectedly.

"Second brother, why are you in a daze, the master of ceremonies is introducing you!" A Lei couldn't help reminding again.

The master of ceremonies called "Viscount Liuyun Cade" twice, but Liuyun didn't respond, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liuyun.

"Oh," Liu Yun replied wearily, propped himself up on the table, stood up and saluted, then fell back on the chair.

Jinglei looked at Liuyun, and muttered in a low voice: "What did you say that the mountain collapsed before and the color didn't change a little, but you suddenly became like this. It seems that you are not a master, second brother."

"Is that him?" Princess Naya looked up at the distraught young man in the distance, her former fiancé, and asked in a low voice.

"It seems that the resignation of the engagement hit him hard, and he became like this when he saw me." Princess Naya withdrew her gaze and sighed.After what happened back then, she always had some sympathy for him in her heart.

"Second brother, what's the matter with you?" A Lei asked anxiously after noticing Liu Yun's strangeness.

"It's nothing, little sister, I just suddenly remembered something." Liu Yun shook his head.

Allie didn't speak any more.In her opinion, any normal man will become depressed and decadent when he sees his former fiancée is such a beautiful woman and she looks down on him so much.

"Thinking about it, the free and easy and indifferent second brother usually is just his disguise. In fact, his heart is very bitter." A Lei thought, and couldn't help but hope that the dinner party would end soon and return her to normal. the second brother.

"Master Nalan."

When the master of ceremonies read this son, there was a soft exclamation in the hall.Speaking of this son, everyone in the imperial capital knows it.It is said that he met a stranger when he was young, and acquired a high level of martial arts, and later studied literature under the imperial scholar Yi De Nuo, and he has the talent to manage the world.Recently, it has risen like a comet in the imperial capital, and its limelight is unparalleled for a while.Anyone believes that although he is not a nobleman, it is just around the corner to achieve success.

Young Master Nalan stood up gracefully, smiled and bowed to the princess, and then bowed to everyone.Not to mention that the person looks like a jade tree facing the wind, just that gaze is like a gentle spring breeze, making everyone feel comfortable and warm, as if that gaze has only been looking at yourself from the beginning.A hint of appreciation flashed in the princess' eyes.

After the master of ceremonies introduced, the princess walked to the stage in front of the hall, and her charming voice sounded slowly.

"Today, it is Naya's honor to invite you all on behalf of the emperor." Naya bent down and bowed to everyone.

"On the occasion of the new arrival, on behalf of my father, my brother and the imperial family, I would like to extend my holiday greetings and best wishes to all of you. There are descendants of nobles and talents from the imperial capital, but they are all the future pillars of the empire I look forward to your better development and greater achievements in the new year."

As a royal princess, Naya is indeed extraordinary.If we say that her initial impression was arrogance, but at this moment, everyone feels her kindness and ardent expectation, and is encouraged by her.

Of course, these people did not include a man who had lost his soul.

"Now, let us raise our glasses together and wish: in the new year, the father will be in good health, the country will prosper, and the people will live a happy life!"

When the princess' words fell to the ground, everyone burst into laughter.Alei pulled Liuyun again, who stood up helplessly and raised his cup.

"Tomorrow of the empire, cheers!" The princess's voice sounded again.

"Cheers!" Everyone cheered.

"I wish you happiness, Yue'er." Liu Yun drank the wine in his glass, only feeling bitter in his mouth.

After everyone sat down, Naya said again: "Tonight is a banquet for celebration, everyone, don't be cautious, you can drink and talk freely, and return when you are happy."

Although the atmosphere in the venue was warm and cheerful, Liu Yun still felt extremely desolate and lonely, and drank the wine in his glass again.When that familiar feeling was suddenly shattered by the reality in front of him, Liu Yun seemed to be awakened from a dream, and his heart felt light and empty for a moment.

"The excitement is theirs, but I have nothing. Yue'er, you may know how much I miss you?"

Looking up at the somewhat resembling figure in the distance, Liu Yun's heart ached again.

"Forget it, let's not think about it." Liu Yun buried his head and began to chew the food on the plate. Although the food was tasteless, he felt that if he didn't find something to do, he would go crazy.

"It seems that you have long forgotten that you are an elegant nobleman." Naya frowned slightly when she saw Liu Yun eating without grace.

At the gathering of the imperial nobles, eating is definitely not the main purpose, it is more about chatting, that is to say, socializing, letting everyone see your talent while getting to know each other.
