Painting Doctor Jinhua

Chapter 183: Sister from the previous life, returning!

Xie Yuxuan?

Almost as soon as he heard the name, Gao Changgong noticed that Xiao Jinyu was looking at that man with a dazed look, as if she was immersed in some ecstasy of regaining something she had lost, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

"Yuwen Hui is dead. You either surrender or die!"

Xie Yuxuan suddenly shouted: "All the followers of my Xie clan, come here! Line up!"

As she shouted, the sound of horse hooves instantly approached her and formed a formation behind her.

More than half of the soldiers actually surrendered to her side!

No, it should be said that these soldiers were originally the private troops she brought with her, but they were only temporarily incorporated under Yuwen Hui!

The remaining dozens of soldiers had not yet understood what was going on. They were terrified. Seeing Yuwen Hui had fallen off his horse, with a large amount of blood smeared on his chest, they stared at the heroic woman in military uniform on horseback with a stubborn and unwilling gaze. After a long while, they used up their last bit of strength to utter a sentence:

"So you are a woman. If I had known this, why would I..."

The woman curled her lips and smiled softly:

"Yuwen Hui, you shouldn't have repeatedly insulted my most important relative in front of me. I appreciate your trust and trust, but I came to you to kill you.

I am also using you today to meet my loved ones!"

After that, she pointed her halberd at the closest personal soldier to Yuwen Hui and said, "Take him back to Chang'an and tell him that Yuwen Hui secretly led troops to assassinate the Zhou envoys Lanling Wang and Xie Zhen, and was defeated and died!"

Then he called two more of his men, took out a brocade bag from his sleeve and threw it into their hands: "Send him there, and make sure he finishes the job!"

The two soldiers responded in unison, dragged Yuwen Hui's body and the still trembling soldier onto their horses, whipped their horses and rode away!

"What choice do the remaining people make?"

At this time, the sun had set and the autumn wind was blowing briskly. The fallen leaves blown by the wind just happened to brush the temples of the woman on horseback. Her black hair was flying, which made her face more beautiful, her demeanor heroic, graceful and awe-inspiring.

"If you still don't make a choice, I will have no choice but to bury you in death!"

The woman shouted again and waved her hand to signal the troops behind her.

"No, we surrender, Xie Changshi. Yuwen Hui is extremely tyrannical and often punishes us. We are willing to follow Xie Changshi!"

One man took the lead, and everyone put down their weapons and knelt down.

"Okay! If you sincerely follow me, I will not treat you unfairly. If you have any rebellious intentions, I will kill you immediately!"

"Yes! We are willing to follow Mr. Xie sincerely!"

Everyone shouted, and the woman smiled sweetly and jumped off the horse. As she walked towards the delegation of Lanling King, her gaze stayed on Gao Changgong's face for a moment, and then she quickly looked at "Xie Zhen" who was protected by him!

This is the same face as her brother Xie Zhen, but she knows that this is not her real appearance!

Sister!

This is her elder sister!

In an instant, the tears that she had been holding back for so long burst out!

Memories of the past emerged in the layers of mist: the Wuyi Lane where blood was flowing and corpses were piled up like mountains, the deserted cliff with no grass and no people, and the figure of my sister being surrounded by enemy troops and gradually moving away!

She also woke up from screaming at the top of her lungs countless times!

In order not to forget her elder sister's appearance, she learned to draw her elder sister's portrait since she was a child, and has been drawing her ever since she was four years old.

That beautiful and graceful face gradually overlapped with the face in front of him!

Even though she didn't look like her, she knew it must be her!

She couldn't be mistaken with that look!

"Sister, I finally see you again, I finally see you..."

The woman in military uniform suddenly ran towards Xiao Jinyu like a child. Without saying a word, she hugged the stunned Xiao Jinyu tightly in her arms and burst into tears.

"It's so good that you're alive, so good..."

Completely ignoring the surprised and confused looks from those around her, Xie Yuxuan burst into tears, crying like a three-year-old child.

A child who was lost for a long time finally found his home.

All the loneliness, fear and helplessness disappear at this moment!

Xiao Jinyu said nothing, but gently stroked her loose hair and whispered in her ear:

"Axuan has grown up!"

She looks just like she used to!

No one else heard this whisper, but Gao Changgong did.

Gao Yanzong just felt a little awkward and strange. He touched his nose and looked at her for a long time. He couldn't help it, so he ran over, patted Xie Yuxuan's shoulder, and whispered: "This female...female general, did you recognize the wrong person? She is obviously younger than you, and she is a man, not your sister. If you don't know, you might think you are here to kidnap your husband..."

"Yanzong, stop talking!" Gao Changgong interrupted him.

Xie Yuxuan then remembered that there were many people watching around, so she quickly let go of Xiao Jinyu, wiped away her tears, and burst into laughter!

She immediately took a few steps back and half-knelt down in front of Xiao Jinyu:

"Chen Jun Xie Clan, Xie Yuxuan, is very grateful for everything that brother Xie Zhen has done to improve the reputation of our Xie Clan. For this reason, Xie Yuxuan is willing to lead 200 members of our Xie Clan to follow brother from now on and defend brother's way!"

After saying that, he turned to Gao Changgong and said, "I hope Prince Lanling will help me!"

Gao Changgong said: "You don't need to ask for my opinion on this matter. As long as she agrees, I will agree!"

Hearing this, Xie Yuxuan's eyes showed unusual joy, and she thought to herself: This Lanling King really respects my sister's wishes. This time my sister finally didn't choose the wrong person...

Thinking of something in the past, Xie Yuxuan's eyes narrowed slightly and tears seemed to be about to flow out again, but she forced herself to hold them back.

She suddenly raised her head and smiled:

"His Royal Highness Prince Lanling really lives up to his reputation. He is extremely handsome..."

He stood up as he spoke. Gao Yanzong at the side could not help but interjected: "You are not planning to rob my fourth brother again, are you?"

Xie Yuxuan's face turned cold and she glared at him fiercely. At this time, Xiao Jinyu smiled and said, "Axuan, Yanzong was joking with you, don't take him seriously!" After that, she turned to Lanling Wang and said, "Changgong, I want to say a few words to this girl from the Xie family."

"Okay, go ahead and talk, we'll just watch from here!"

……

Xiao Jinyu then pulled Xie Yuxuan to a poplar tree ten steps away. The two held hands and started chatting as if they were children.

Gao Changgong watched all this from afar. Under the setting sun, leaves were falling, and the figures of the two people talking and laughing were like a painting in the pavilion that could never be fully appreciated.

"Fourth brother, why do I feel weird? How come Fourth...Sister-in-law and this girl from the Xie family in Chen County are like family members...Isn't she the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling?"

Gao Yanzong lowered his voice and asked in Gao Changgong's ear.

In fact, there were many times when Gao Changgong was curious about Xiao Jinyu's past. He always knew that there was a secret deep in Xiao Jinyu's heart that was inconvenient to tell to outsiders, but he didn't want to explore it, let alone dig into the pain deep in her heart!

In fact, it is just like now, a table, a cup of tea, a pot of wine, a few cakes, the sunset gently caresses the face, the wind blows the black hair and shoulders,

I had a great time chatting with the person I wanted to meet, and I was so happy while laughing with my mouth covered!

That's great, isn't it?

There is no need to ask thoroughly about many things. In this life, knowing each other and trusting each other without a doubt is enough!

"Yanzong, when we return to Yecheng, no matter what she does, you must support her and don't doubt her, okay?"

Gao Changgong suddenly asked Gao Yanzong.

Gao Yanzong heard the weight of these words. Although he was puzzled, he nodded and said, "Don't worry! Fourth brother! I said I would help you protect her!"

……

After talking about some interesting childhood memories, Xie Yuxuan held Xiao Jinyu's hand tightly, feeling infinite emotion in her heart. She cried and laughed and said, "When I received the letter from Ling Ye saying that you were still alive, I was so happy. Although this matter sounds strange, I just believe it. I believe that my elder sister is still alive in this world! No matter in what way, no matter who she becomes, she is my elder sister..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help wiping away her tears again.

"Sister, are you living well in Qi? Is Prince Lanling treating you well?"

Xiao Jinyu smiled and said, "I'm doing well. Changgong is also very good to me. Ah Xuan, where is Ah Zhen? Why didn't he come with you?"

Xie Yuxuan burst into laughter again, but it was a bitter smile of reproach.

"Sister, you lied to me again. I heard from Ling Ye that it is not easy for you to be in Qi now. You have to deal with some treacherous villains in Qi, and there is also a tyrant who is eyeing you covetously. That's why I discussed with my fifth brother. I will bring nearly 200 soldiers to follow Yu Wenhui's army to join you here. From now on, wherever you go, I will follow you."

"As for my fifth brother Xie Zhen, he is now the chief secretary of the King of Zhao Yuwen Zhao, the brother of His Majesty of Zhou. The King of Zhao treats him very well and regards him as a confidant. He also helped him keep his life secret so that Yuwen Hui could not find out. My fifth brother said that he still has to help His Majesty of Zhou complete a task. When the time is right, he will come to Qi to reunite with my sister!"

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyu only said: "That's fine, I'm afraid he will be implicated because of me!"

"No, His Majesty of Zhou is very courteous to talented people. After listening to all your deeds in Chen and Qi, he has always praised you highly. He only regrets that he can't meet you in person!"

At this point, Xiao Jinyu was a little surprised and asked, "Ah Xuan, do you know His Majesty Yuwen Yong of the Zhou Kingdom?"

Xie Yuxuan blushed slightly and nodded.

Xiao Jinyu seemed to have guessed something and asked again: "Are you and him...Axuan, are you married?"

Twenty years ago, Axuan was still a little girl of four or five years old, but now, she is already twenty-four or twenty-five years old. In the aristocratic families, girls have to get married at the age of fifteen. In ordinary families, if a girl is not married by the age of twenty, even her parents will condemn her. Axuan is really old.

Xie Yuxuan looked a little embarrassed, and after a moment's hesitation, she replied:

"Sister, to be honest with you, I had a past with Yuwen Yong, but he was ambitious and wanted to stabilize the world, so he was destined not to marry a woman like me who didn't even dare to reveal her true identity. And I didn't want to be a concubine in his harem.

My Xie family has always been a hermit family, and I also yearn for a free and easy life, so I think the current situation is pretty good!"

After saying that, he patted Xiao Jinyu's hand again.

"Sister, don't worry about me, I'm really fine. I discussed with my fifth brother that he would maintain the reputation of the Xie family, while I would train the troops, join the army, and make military achievements. I even killed several Turkic Hu people!

However, now my elder sister has revived the reputation of our Xie family and made it famous throughout the Three Kingdoms, so my fifth brother doesn't have to put in much effort!

And since I was a child, I have taken my sister as my role model and tried my best to be the person closest to you.

Do you think I am doing well now?"

Xiao Jinyu's eyes became moist and she couldn't help but shed tears. She never thought that in the twenty years after her death, Ah Xuan had grown from a carefree and innocent little girl into a female general who could wield a halberd and kill enemies on the battlefield!

From a timid and cowardly boy who could only snuggle in her arms when he was young, he has transformed into a courageous and resolute person!

You must have suffered a lot in the past twenty years!

"Axuan has really grown up... You've done great, even better than I thought!"

Xie Yuxuan hugged Xiao Jinyu again and said affectionately, "I always thought that if there is an afterlife, Xuan must be my sister, protecting you just like my sister protected us before. I never thought that God would be so kind and make my wish come true.

From now on, I will really be your sister!

From now on, I will call you A Zhen!"

Speaking of this title, it really is a problem!

Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Okay, when I'm Xie Zhen, you can call me Ah Zhen!"

"I heard that the Emperor of Qi deliberately ordered my brother-in-law to garrison Jinyang in order to separate you. This tyrant is really abominable!"

Xiao Jinyu immediately raised her finger and made a gesture to keep quiet.

"If you follow me to Qi, you must never say such things again!"

"I know, I just want to vent my anger by scolding him in private!"

At this point, Xie Yuxuan turned around to look at Lanling Wang who was standing not far away and looking at this place intently, and said jokingly: "Okay, Xuan can't take up your time with your brother-in-law anymore, otherwise your brother-in-law will be angry!"

……

Seeing the look from Prince Lanling, Xiao Jinyu smiled back, then took Xie Yuxuan's hand and came to Gao Changgong. Just as she was about to introduce herself to Gao Changgong, Xie Yuxuan answered first, "I am the long-lost... sworn sister of the Princess of the County. Because I have always respected her, I call her Sister, but I won't call her that in the future!"

"It won't cause any trouble for the prince!"

Seeing Gao Changgong didn't say anything, Xie Yuxuan straightened her back again and said solemnly as if she was swearing: "Don't worry, Prince, I will protect her!"

Gao Changgong and Xiao Jinyu looked at each other and smiled. His smile was so dazzling that Xie Yuxuan couldn't help but stare in amazement.

"The prince is so handsome!"

After expressing her sincere emotion, Xie Yuxuan promptly withdrew her gaze, smiled at Xiao Jinyu, and silently stepped aside.

Because there were other soldiers watching, Xiao Jinyu did not dare to get too close to Gao Changgong, and just looked at him for a long time.

After a long time, when the sun's rays have faded and the moon is about to come out, the sound of a few birds chirping can be heard in the cool breeze!

She then said, "Chang Gong, let's continue on our journey! When we get to Jinyang, Chang Gong, don't see us off. Take care!"

Gao Changgong nodded, stroked her head with great restraint, and took a fallen leaf from her hair.

"She is also a very important relative to you, right?"

Xiao Jinyu nodded without denying.

"That's good. With her around, I can rest assured!"

After saying that, Gao Changgong couldn't help but hold her in his arms, "But I still can't help but want to hug you!"

After hugging her for a long time, he whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice,

"Ayu, return to Yecheng and be careful!"

"Okay, I will definitely do it!"

……

The soldiers watched from afar, all of them curious, but it was just his reputation as a Long Yang lover, so he really didn't care.

After resting for a while, the army set off towards Jinyang.

As the second capital of Qi State, Jinyang was not only an important military town, but also a prosperous city for trade with other countries.

However, the delegation did not stay in Jinyang for too long. After resting for a few hours, they continued to rush towards Yecheng at dawn.

Gao Changgong stayed in Jinyang with more than a hundred cavalrymen and the Xianbei.

……

Just as Xiao Jinyu was leading the delegation back to Yecheng, a secret letter happened to arrive in Lu Lingxuan's hands.

After seeing the contents of the secret letter, Lu Lingxuan's face twisted with anger. She crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it to the ground, then overturned the table again!

The jade and porcelain shattered to the ground. Mutipo picked up the secret letter tremblingly and called softly: "Mother——"

"The spies you arranged are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!"
