The next day, the pair of star-crossed lovers were ushered into Yizhou City under the contempt of the generals. Jing Sa felt a little helpless. She personally felt sympathy for the couple, but few people on either side of the conflict really shared her feelings. For them, contempt was already considered lucky.
Before leaving, Jing Sa took the opportunity to remind Jun Xu that Yizhou City was not like Qin, and that others might treat them…with some slight negligence and lack of consideration.
She asked Jun Xu to be understanding. Little did she know that the former imperial princess turned back, looked at him sincerely and thanked him. At the end, she smiled and said that even if Jun Xu were in Qin, it would not be very easy for him.
Jingsa was taken aback, and for a moment, he really wanted to pat her on the shoulder and become her confidant, but he ultimately gave up due to too many concerns and the time pressure.
When setting off, Jingsa looked back and saw that Junxu was very gently using her body to block the gazes of the crowd, very carefully helping Tongli into the place where the Yizhou city lord had arranged for them to stay. Not only did she shake her head, this woman was obviously seriously injured…
Jingsa let out a long sigh. It was no wonder that Tongli would treat her that way. It was truly when love reaches its depths that there are no regrets.
Defection and betrayal
On the battlefield, traitors are despised by both sides, and surrenders are scorned by both sides, regardless of the reason. This is the rule of the game. A warrior cannot calmly experience the reasons and helplessness of the people she despises. This emotion works the same way for warriors and non-warriors alike within the scope of the war.
Therefore, Jun Xu and Tong Li do not go out in peacetime.
The lord of Yizhou has assigned them quite a few servants, who are not only neat and efficient in their movements, but also quite outstanding in martial arts, much like the atmosphere in the army. These people rarely speak, and they are very efficient in what they do, firmly guarding the Luofeng Courtyard where Jun Xu and Tong Li are staying.
Junxu reclined on a chaise longue in the middle of the courtyard of Luofengyuan, comfortably leaning on an embroidered brocade cushion, sipping wine slowly. The pear blossoms above her head were blooming like ice and snow. Occasionally, one or two petals drifted down and landed in Junxu’s long, unkempt hair and on her spread body. Some of them also drifted into the wine glass in her hand, gently rippling with the waves of the wine.
