A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 143 Wait for an opportunity

Mu Liang opened the gate and was overjoyed to see his long-missing brother, but then a pregnant young woman walked out from behind Li Yunye.

"Brother Muliang, this is my wife. We already have a child. Brother Muliang, you are going to be an uncle." Li Yunye's face was full of joy. He touched the woman's bulging belly and smiled at Mu Liang like a kind father.

"No...Yunye...you can't..." Mu Liang was so scared that his face turned pale and he opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Then he suddenly sat up from the bed, looked at the morning light outside, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed.

Although it was a dream, he still couldn't find his adopted brother even with the help of the government from the Zhuo family. He was really worried that Yun Ye had been forced to marry someone. If this continued, everything that happened in the dream would probably come true. Yun Ye secretly married someone and got pregnant. How absurd was this to the Li family? How could he explain this to his adoptive father and mother?

Thinking of this, Mu Liang felt a sharp pain in both temples. In addition, he had not slept well these days, which made him look much more haggard.

"Master Mu Liang, Miss Hong Qing was here just now." At this time, An Yun's voice was heard outside the room.

Mu Liang frowned, stood up, opened the door and asked anxiously, "Why is she here so early in the morning?"

"She already knew that the young master was missing, so she came to ask about it." An Yun replied. Although he had just recovered from his illness, he still looked unwell. He had been blaming himself for not being able to protect the young master, and he was depressed.

Mu Liang sighed again. Although Censor Zhuo asked the government to keep a low profile in the search for someone, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Fengqifang has always been the place with the most information. Hong Qing didn't surprise him when she knew this.

"Has Lao Zhou sent back any news?" Mu Liang asked again.

After returning from Zhuo's house, he also asked Lao Zhou to leave Liangdu to look for his sworn brother.

"No news yet." An Yun shook his head and continued to ask, "Can we write a letter to the master and ask the shopkeepers from all over the country to help look for it?"

"The journey is long, and it will take several days to send the letter back. We can't spread the news now. Since Lord Zhuo is helping here, we can wait a little longer." Mu Liang waved his hand after thinking for a moment. Liangdu is too far away from Qile City, and the news cannot be delivered in time. He was afraid that Yun Ye would find the letter as soon as it was sent out, which would make his adoptive father and mother worry in vain.

After a night, Li Yunye followed Xuanyu down the mountain early. Honghua, dressed in black and wearing a veil, had also driven a carriage and stopped at the roadside at the foot of the mountain.

"Xuanyu, can you take me back?" Seeing Xuanyu's female hooligan sister from afar, Li Yunye couldn't help but freeze all over, grabbing Xuanyu's arm tightly and begging.

"I have something important to do and can't leave for the time being." Yan Yu turned around and patted his hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, she promised me that she won't bully you anymore."

The mission just failed and the people from Shadow Gate are still watching her, so Xuanyu can't get too close to Li Yunye for the time being.

"Just because she said she won't bully me, then she won't bully me? You're not here halfway, who knows what she will do to me next?" But Xuanyu's comfort made Li Yunye even more anxious.

"You're just a useless thing, good-looking. What do I want to do with you?" Li Yunye's words were heard by Honghua, who had just walked forward. She immediately put her hands on her hips and scolded him with disgust in her eyes.

“Look, look, he has this attitude in front of you now. If we were to do this on the road…” Seeing Honghua suddenly coming and swearing at him, Li Yunye was so scared that he hid behind Yanyu, saying timidly and angrily.

"That's enough, you little white face..."

"You promised me yesterday." Seeing that her sister was still going to be rude to Li Yunye, Yan Yu glanced at her coldly and warned Honghua.

"Ahem, Mr. Li, it's time for us to set off. We're quite far from here to Liangdu." Seeing her sister's cold face, Honghua had to give up. Then she changed her usual attitude and smiled charmingly at Li Yunye.

"Sister, you should just be normal." Li Yunye felt even more frightened after seeing this.

"Get on the carriage!" Honghua lost her patience and angrily said this before heading towards the carriage. Damn boy, if it wasn't for my sister, I would have poisoned him into an ugly monster!

"Just ignore her on the way." Yan Yu continued to smile and comfort Li Yunye, who was frightened to the point of wanting to cry.

Li Yunye looked aggrieved, pouted and nodded.

There was no other way. Since Huanyu was too busy to send him off, he could only count on that female gangster. She was Huanyu's sister after all. At least his safety could be guaranteed. Bandits were rampant in Jingsong country now, and he had to rely on this female gangster all the way back to Liangdu. So, he had to endure it for now.

In the western border of Lang State, at a horse farm outside the northern suburbs of Fengling City, Xian Wang Lixu had changed his previous decadent and vicissitudes of life, and was leisurely watching the horses running and playing in front of him, his charming eyes sparkling with light.

"Your Highness, these horses have been fat and strong, and are ready to go to the battlefield." Qian Yue walked forward with a smile, looked around vigilantly, and whispered to Li Xu.

"Lord Qian, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Li Xu put his hands behind his back, turned his head and smiled at Qian Yue meaningfully.

"But Your Majesty, you have to be careful as the night may bring more troubles." Qian Yue said with a worried look on his face.

Under the suggestion of King Xian, he found out the spy sent by the emperor to Fengling City to monitor King Xian and secretly dealt with him. He also secretly recruited soldiers for King Xian. However, it was difficult to conceal his presence when the number of soldiers increased to a certain level. In addition, if he did not receive any news from the spy for a long time, the emperor in Xuan'an City would also become suspicious. More importantly, King Xian had not made any move, and the Shadow Sect had been urging him frequently, which made him unable to bear the pressure.

"Everything requires a good timing. No matter how well prepared you are, it will be in vain if the timing is wrong. Therefore, I also need to wait for an opportunity." Li Xu still spoke slowly.

"What timing does Your Majesty mean?" Qian Yue was even more puzzled. The army was abundant, and Prince Xian was the son of the previous emperor and enjoyed a good reputation. What other timing was needed as long as he gave the order?

“The so-called opportunity means having a legitimate reason to do so. Although Ning Xi is dissolute and incompetent, he has not yet reached the point where he is hated by God and abandoned by everyone. I am waiting, waiting for a punishment from heaven that will benefit me.” After Li Xu finished speaking, he looked up at the clear sky above, ambition revealed in his eyes.

"Heavenly punishment? This... This is decided by God. How long do we have to wait?" Qian Yue couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have relied on their own efforts. How could there be so many people destined by heaven in this world?

"Let's wait until the autumn harvest. By then we will have enough food and grass." Li Xu ignored Qian Yue's disapproval. He knew that no matter how much he said, it would be like talking to a cow, so he just smiled.

"King Xian is really preparing for a rainy day!" Qian Yue felt relieved when he heard that they were waiting for a good harvest of grain and grass.

Li Xu said nothing, but continued to look towards the north in the sky, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
