Chapter 125 Remembering the Past

Huo Yige took the lead and galloped away like an arrow. Seeing this, Ling Huaici quickly sent several men to chase closely to ensure his safety.

At the same time, he turned his horse around and forced Qinghan to go to another fork in the road.

Qing Han raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked at him with a smile, but did not make any resistance. Instead, she obediently let Ling Huaici lead her forward.

After about half an incense stick of time, Ling Huaici suddenly abandoned the horse, and in a flash, he jumped onto Qing Han's pony as lightly as a flying bird, firmly grasped the reins, and shouted softly: "Whoa!"

The colt seemed to understand its master's command and quickly stopped. Ling Huaici dismounted swiftly and stretched out his arm, trying to help Qinghan.

However, Qinghan ignored him and jumped off the horse.

Ling Huaici gently touched the back of his teeth with the tip of his tongue and laughed softly: "Why, are you still angry?"

Qing Han turned her head and stared at him, sneering, "Shouldn't I be angry, 'Your Majesty', 'My Lord'?"

Ling Huaici smiled slightly, hugged her lazily from behind, and said softly: "Okay, it's all my fault, just forgive me, okay?"

Qing Han looked serious and answered mercilessly: "Not good!"

Ling Huaici couldn't help but laugh: "Sister, please, give me a chance to make a new beginning, okay?"

He even deliberately dragged out the last sound of "sister", which made Qinghan's heart stir.

Qinghan admitted that she felt great, but tried to remain calm.

She used all her strength to struggle out of his tight embrace, walked straight forward without looking back, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

In fact, she feels incredibly lucky.

Fortunately, the person who slept on the same bed with her and affectionately called her "Sister" was always the man in front of her.

Therefore, because of this, he never referred to himself as "I" in front of her. Apparently, this guy still understood some of the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects!

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she immediately turned around and questioned him: "Does Huo Yige know that you have placed the women of the Zhu family under house arrest?"

Ling Huaici looked nonchalant and replied calmly: "It's okay, this matter is insignificant."

Seeing this, Qing Han nodded slightly to show his agreement. Judging from his calm appearance, this matter would not cause too much trouble.

Ling Huaici stared at her intently, carefully observing every subtle change in her expression. After confirming that she was not really angry, he carefully moved forward, slowly approached her, pouted his lips and muttered, "This is the gift that my sister gave to Huo Yige. I also want it!"

Qing Han turned to look at him, only to see that his tender and cute little face was clearly filled with dissatisfaction and grievance, which actually made Qing Han feel guilty for a moment.

So Qinghan said softly, "Oh, that was just a small item I asked Huaju to buy on the street on the way here."

However, Ling Huaici ignored these explanations and continued to pester Qing Han, muttering: "I just want it anyway!"

Qing Han sighed helplessly, lowered her head and smiled as she agreed: "Okay, okay, when we go back, I will personally ask for one for you."

"Okay~!" Ling Huaici stopped when he saw that things were going well, and then happily took Qinghan's hand, continued to walk forward with big strides, and said proudly: "Follow me quickly, I'll take you to a good place!"

Qing Han followed his footsteps closely, and asked curiously, "Where are you taking me?"

Ling Huaici raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and replied softly: "You will know it naturally when you get there."

Seeing this, Qinghan said no more and just followed him silently.

After crossing a clear stream together, the two finally arrived at the edge of a cliff that towered into the clouds.

Standing here and looking into the distance, you can take in the entire Wangdu City.

Looking down at this moment, I can see that the city is crowded and bustling; people on the streets are all smiling, and the scene is peaceful; even those homeless people who usually make a living by begging do not look as miserable as if they were starving.

Qing Han couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in amazement: "This place is so special... How did you find this wonderful place?"

Ling Huaici sat on the ground leisurely, gazing at the peaceful and tranquil scene in the distance, his voice revealing an undisguised sense of satisfaction: "On the morning of the second day after I captured Wangdu..."

Qing Han gently moved to his side and sat down next to him, listening attentively as he slowly narrated his own forgotten past.

Ling Huaici's thoughts were all over the place, and finally stopped at three years ago...

At that time, Ling Huaici's heart was filled with the idea of ​​destroying everything. He was born into a royal family, but he had experienced countless hardships and humiliations, and he watched helplessly as his only remaining relative in the world willingly married into the family of his enemy. The violent emotions deep in his heart erupted like a volcano, and he could not be contained.

So, he led his trusted subordinates who he had accumulated over the years and rushed towards Wangdu without hesitation, launching a bloody massacre.

With a wave of his sword, the enemy's family fell to the ground and died one after another. Only the man called "brother-in-law" and another young man with a similar fate - Huo Yige survived.

At first, Ling Huaici had planned to completely wipe out this country and make it disappear from the world.

However, when he stood on a high place and looked down at the entire Wangdu City, he suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and woke up.

The feud between the Ling and Huo families should have been resolved by the parties involved. How could they vent their anger on these innocent people? What crime had they committed? They were just a group of ordinary people, living quietly on this land, without competing with the world.

However, the cruel reality made them victims of the royal dispute and they were ruthlessly dragged into this unprovoked disaster.

Countless lives were lost in the war, countless families were torn apart, relatives were forced to separate, and once warm homes were destroyed.

Many people were unfortunately injured and had their bodies mutilated, and some were even separated from their loved ones forever, never to see them again.

At that moment, Ling Huaici's heart was filled with endless pity, grief and shame.

At that time, Wangdu seemed to be abandoned by God and fell into a bottomless abyss, becoming a veritable purgatory on earth.

The people here live in dire straits, they suffer hardships and their days are like years. The whole city is shrouded in a suffocating pain and despair, which makes people feel extremely heavy.

The streets and alleys were filled with a desolate scene. People's faces were haggard, and their eyes revealed deep sorrow and endless helplessness.

Their bodies have become thin due to long-term fatigue, and their spirits are gradually breaking down under torture. The children have lost their innocent smiles, and their faces are covered with tears instead. The elderly are leaning on crutches and staggering forward. Everyone's face is filled with confusion and fear about the future.

At this time, Ling Huaici made up his mind to help Huo Yige ascend to a high position. He thought: In this turbulent and unstable world, what difference does it make who is in charge?

What is important is whether this monarch can care about the people of the world and whether he can become a wise and powerful emperor. As long as there is such a wise monarch who wholeheartedly seeks the welfare of the people, isn't it more important than anything else?

So, Ling Huaici began to fully support Huo Yige, and this persistence lasted for three whole years.

During this period, Huo Yige demonstrated extraordinary ambition and outstanding talent, especially his unique insights on how to govern the country.

After three years of hard work, not only did the people of Wangdu live and work in peace and contentment, but the people of other cities in the Yu Dynasty also enjoyed a peaceful, happy and ordinary life.

As for Huo Yanchen, Ling Huaici thought that as long as he stopped causing trouble, it would not be a bad idea to spare his life according to his sister's wishes?

He spoke calmly about the past three years, as if it was just an ordinary experience, but it contained endless blood, gore, and hardships.

Qing Han had no idea and couldn't imagine what was going on. She felt more and more distressed. She subconsciously held his hand tightly and scratched his palm gently like a kitten.

Ling Huaici was keenly aware of her little movements, and his heart softened, with a faint smile that he could hardly suppress.

He turned his head, gazed at her tenderly, and asked softly, "With my broken body now, Qing An still insisted on following me. Have you ever felt the slightest regret?"

Qing Han met his gaze without hesitation, her eyes surging with deep affection like a surging tide, and she answered with an extremely firm tone: "No regrets!"

It is said that a lover’s eyes are the eighth ocean, and this moment became concrete.
