Demon King’s Repayment

When Zhou Family Lady Ding Yan spoke, Yuan Xianger was actually a little wary towards her.

Yuan Xianger understood Ding Yan's thoughts better than anyone here.

If she was allowed to choose one of the two identities, she would definitely not want to live deep in the back house under the shackles of ethics and education, and live a life of depression without any freedom.

Ding Yan, as a woman who grew up immersed in feudal ideology, can quickly adapt to the new identity environment after encountering such a legendary experience, without revealing faults, and maintaining her life so well, it must be A strong and capable person.

Such a person often also means having a determined heart, and the human heart is the most complicated and unpredictable.

Yuan Xianger's mind began to walk in various ancient costume dramas. For example, the glorious and wealthy general refused to recognize his wife, and a group of warriors with swords and axes rushed up outside the tent at any time with the intention of killing people.Or the number one scholar named in the gold list didn't want to be exposed by others. He pretended to deal with him, while holding a cup of poisoned wine to kill people.

She was taken aback by her own brain replenishment. She didn't dare to drink tea for a while, and she didn't dare to eat any snacks, she was nervously guarded, for fear that this lady Ding would turn her face and refuse to recognize people.

At this moment, Ding Yan looked at the familiar face sitting in front of her, her heart was mixed, she was her own face, but she looked so strange.I really don't want to go back to the dark and depressing years.

She rubbed the top handles with her fingers back and forth, and heard her voice so obscure.

"Is this General Qiu himself?"

Qiu Yueming clasped his fists in a salute, "Like you, I have a lot of emotions, never imagined that I can see my face face to face like this."

"Actually, I wonder if we have met once," Ding Yan said. "Just when I was confused, I felt in a trance that a man gave me a hand, and then I came here. That person must be You are here, general."

Qiu Yueming remembered the initial moment: "I never knew whether it was an illusion, but now it seems to be true."

Ding Yan crossed her hands as a salute, "After I got here, I heard countless generals' deeds in the past, and I admired you in my heart. Fortunately, what I have done during this period of time is not too lost and did not discredit your reputation."

When she said this, she paused for a moment, and finally she said, "Do you have any way of coping with me this time?"

"Lady, you can change it back." Zhou Deyun stood up excitedly, trying to get close to some of the hands holding his own ladies, but looking at the general sitting on the seat in front of his eyes, he only dared to rub his hands and point to Yuan Xianger. , "Mr. Yuan is a master of Mr. Nature, he is clever in Taoism, I specially invited her over all the way, she has a way to get you back to normal."

His wife finally turned her gaze to him, her eyes softened a bit, no longer as strange and indifferent as in the morning, her eyes were a little helpless, and some sorrow was faint.

Zhou Deyun seemed to be encouraged, and hurried forward a few steps, "Ayan, during your absence, the house was in a mess. I don’t know how much I have suffered, and it was easy to find you. Let’s go with my house. what?"

Ding Yan looked at him for a long while, did not take the topic, but looked at Yuan Xianger, "Is this gentleman sure to change her soul?"

It was the first time Yuan Xiang'er had a conversation with this lady who had been talking about Zhou Deyun all the way, but he didn't intend to hide it from her.

"I haven't practiced it. When I left, my friend gave a magic weapon that can restrain the soul. I tried it with necromancers and animals several times along the way, and nothing went wrong. But it can't be guaranteed."

Ding Yan showed her a little smile, "I see, thank you for telling me so candidly."

"Are you...really sure that you are willing to return to their respective positions?" Yuan Xianger couldn't help asking.

Ding Yan's willingness to agree so readily made Yuan Xiang'er feel a little more fond and curious about her. Frankly speaking, if this matter is changed to her, it may not be so easy to be willing to return this free identity that has been used for more than a year. .

"I don't want to." Ding Yan lowered her eyelashes, clenched her fists, and said in a low voice, "To be honest, when I saw you in the morning, I was panicked and scared. My heart became a mess, and even some vicious thoughts occurred. , I thought about summoning soldiers to drive you out of Datong Mansion. Or simply... just grab you, be charged with fine-grained crimes, and go to prison for a hundred."

Cold light and struggle flashed in her eyes, and after a while she still sighed and turned to a look of relief.

"Fortunately, I finally figured it out and I didn’t become that kind of terrible person. In fact, it’s good to have this year’s experience. It made me see what I really wanted and needed. Now, even without this level of identity I believe I can live the life I want."

"I am willing to return to their respective positions with General Qiu." Ding Yan finally raised her eyes to look at everyone, her eyes clear, "But I will not be Mrs. Zhou again, nor will I go back to Dingzhou."

"Ayan, you, you, what did you say? Where can you go if you don't go back with me?" Zhou Deyun was taken aback, and his words were uncomfortable.

Ding Yan looked directly at him with a calm gaze, "Husband, your Zhou family Zhongding family pays attention to etiquette and education. On weekdays, I see my shopkeeper and the account room, and a dozen women are waiting on the side. Even so, There are still rumors at home. Now that I have lived in this barracks for more than a year, I am not suitable to be the wife of the Zhou family. Give me a divorce letter and let me go."

Zhou Deyun didn't think of this level, blushed, and stomped for a long while, "I...I don't dislike you. You come back with me, we are still the same as before, living in harmony."

Ding Yan laughed out loud. She lowered her head and gently stroked the saber around her waist, "Langjun, Langjun, I ask you, do you know how I suddenly changed my soul with General Qiu?"

Zhou Deyun stammered: "I was listening to music at Miaoyinfang that day, and accidentally drank too much. When my family came to find me the next day, you would already be General Qiu. My parents said that you lost your footing. Shui, was frightened, and then the hysteria suddenly appeared."

"I didn't stumble, it was the lake I pitched. It's Linchun Lake in the back garden at home." Ding Yan interrupted him suddenly.

"To cast, to cast into the lake?" Zhou Deyun was hit several times in a row, almost dumbfounded, "Lady, our family is well-off, the servants are in groups, and the love between you and me has always been very good. Why is the lady so... what?"

Zhou Deyun had no idea that he had always thought that his wife, who lived a happy life, would actually commit suicide in the lake.Not only him but Yuan Xianger and Qiu Yueming were puzzled. What kind of pressure would make such a strong woman choose to give up her life?

"Many people think that my life is very good, and I married into the Zhou Mansion of a famous family. My husband is a romantic celebrity and has a good temper. Not only did he never take a concubine, he never hit me." Ding Yan sat on the main seat. Speaking of the experience of being a woman as a man, it seems to sound a bit more uncomfortable, "Not only your husband, but my parents, I used to feel that I shouldn’t have any complaints. local."

"But do you know how Mrs. Zhou, whom everyone envy, spends every day? My mother-in-law is getting older and wakes up very early. The Zhou family's requirements for etiquette are extremely strict, so I have to get up before the hour of every day , I was waiting outside my mother's door for your peace early. However, when my mother saw me, she had to split her head and face for half an hour, saying that I hadn't been out for many years and occupied the position of the wife in vain, which delayed the Zhou family incense. It was a heinous crime. Sometimes when it comes to getting angry, you have to beat me, in front of all the people."

When Zhou Deyun heard this, he felt uncomfortable and comforted, "Mother has a bad temper, but as children, we can't say that the elders are at fault, and we can only give you some patience."

"Yes, as a daughter-in-law can disobey her in-laws, naturally she can only endure a little bit. I used to think like this." Ding Yan calmly recounted the past. "After listening to her reprimands, I need to stand by the table and serve her. Eat breakfast with my sister-in-law. They will eat while being picky. When they finish eating, I can go back to my house and have a meal under the wait of the maid alone. After that, the main housekeepers in the family will take the right one. To answer the trivial chores at home, buy daily necessities, buy a sister-in-law’s dowry, socialize favors, punish erring servants, there are many, many and messy. After a short break in the afternoon, I go to the front hall to pull up the screen and meet the outside shops and villages. The shopkeeper. At dinner, I have to go to my mother-in-law to set the rules again, and my husband may return drunk in the middle of the night, and I have to get up and wait carefully."

Ding Yan smiled bitterly, "You may think this is nothing, but there is a little trivial matter in the back house. Which family's daughter-in-law did not come here."

"No, no, it's not easy." Yuan Xiang'er shook her head repeatedly, "it's me, it's impossible to do it."

"These are not the hardest," Ding Yan glanced at Yuan Xiang'er. "The hardest thing is that when I married into Zhou's family, Zhou's mansion was already empty, and it was enough to make ends meet. There was no shortage of extravagance. . In-laws have no access to general affairs, and my husband has to go to Fengyue. Who knows how many somersaults I’ve fallen. In the past few years, I’ve been walking on thin ice, planning carefully, integrating shops one by one, and liquidating the accounts little by little. Finally, we have kept the family business and also the family property. Slowly develop to today's level, so that everyone in the family can spend their lives freely and easily."

Zhou Deyun opened his mouth and couldn't speak. For the first time, he realized that behind his unrestrained and unrestrained nature, it was his wife who was working hard and hardworking.And he actually took all this for granted.

"Today, I can only move around in the small garden of Zhou's house. I can't get out of this door and I can't see the sky outside. However, no matter how hard I work and how well I do it, no one will ever I agree with my abilities. They will not praise a woman for her hard work in keeping a house, making money in a good way, as if these are all things that should be done. Elders always accuse me of beating and scolding, husband complaining, and subordinates often whisper behind my back, laughing at my fault of not being able to inherit the Zhou family. As long as I fail to give birth to the Zhou family, no matter how good I do, I will still be an incompetent woman." Ding Yan lowered her head and squeezed the hilt around her waist, "I once cried to my mother, and my mother told me that every one Women come here in this way, there are grievances, the only way is to endure. However, I don't want to endure it."

Qiu Yueming also frowned. He was trapped in the Zhou family's backyard for a year, knowing how depressed and aggrieved the family that demanded strict ethics.He couldn't help wondering whether he would let his wife live like that in the future.

"Once, in order to get rid of all this, I cowardly gave up my life. Thank the gods for giving me the opportunity to regret this time. Now I know what I want and what kind of life I want to live." Ding Yan's voice reverberated in the empty hall, and she looked directly at Zhou Deyun, "Husband, I won't go back with you again. Give me a break, you and I should be as wide as you are, and forget about each other."

At this moment, seeing Ding Yan's firm and unhesitating eyes, Zhou Deyun realized that his lady really wanted to leave his side and leave the house.

In the past, in his mind, his wife lived by relying on himself, even if he was aggrieved by his mother occasionally, even if he couldn't control his emotions and vent a few words at her, it was not a big deal.Just because she has married herself, there is no way out, and she can never leave her side.It's good for her to be gentle and polite, and some are bad, probably it doesn't matter.

But now, he saw his wife's resolute expression and listened to those resolute words in his ears.Suddenly realized that he might have lost her forever.Losing this one who I have never taken seriously before, but who is always gentle and gentle by his side.His heart suddenly seemed to be empty.

"It's not enough, lady. I didn't pay attention to it before, but I changed everything later, can I change everything?" Zhou Deyun's eyes turned red. "What do you want, I will listen to you."

Ding Yan smiled gently at him, "You can't give what I want. It's not your fault, maybe I'm not good. I shouldn't be so strange, I should learn to be patient like all women in this world. But What else can I do? I have seen a wider world, and I will never go back again. Please forgive me, please let go."

From Zhou Deyun’s first request to Yuan Xiang’er’s door, a long time has passed until today. There are many twists and turns along the way. Yuan Xiang’er has thought about the various possibilities after arriving here, but did not expect that in this era of tight female thinking, there will be more people A woman like Yan who dares to directly fight her fate in order to fight for freedom.

She looked at Zhou Deyun who was perplexed and sympathized, and she admired the calm and brave Ding Yan.

The voice of the Linglong Golden Ball sounded, ethereal and elegant, with a sense of detachment from the world and soaring far away.Two emptied souls, drawn by the bell, closed their eyes, wandering out of their bodies in a misty and vague manner. Yuan Xianger sat cross-legged in the middle, chanting the calming soul calming mantra in a low voice, carefully escorting the two souls back to themselves.

The bell gradually died down, and Qiu Yueming opened his eyes first. He first looked down at his hands, then raised his head to see Ding Yan next to Yuan Xianger, turning to an expression of ecstasy.

Ding Yan was also at this time, slowly opening her eyes, she just looked at her hands calmly.

"Successful?" Yuan Xianger asked.

Qiu Yueming stood up, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Yuan Xianger.

Yuan Xiang'er hurriedly supported with both hands, "What's wrong, how can the general give such a gift."

"At that time, I was trapped in the back house of the Zhou family. I couldn't bear the humiliation. I wanted to die. If it weren't for Xianger, you would save me in the fire and water. How can I see the sun again now." Qiu Yueming looked at Yuan Xianger and insisted on worshipping three times before getting up. "Great grace doesn't say thank you, I just hope to report it in the future."

Seeing them successfully exchanged back, Yuan Xianger was also relieved. Although she had done various experiments on the road, she was still nervous and sweating when it came to the real souls.For her, the main purpose of this trip was to help Qiu Yueming find her body. As for Ding Yan's willingness to go back with Zhou Deyun, Yuan Xiang'er felt it was not suitable for her to interfere.In fact, although the contact was short-lived, she somewhat admired Ding Yan's determination and courage to break away from the past and pursue freedom.

The souls of the two returned to their place, Qiu Yueming took the initiative to discuss with Ding Yan, and summoned Xiao Lin, Zhu Xinyi and the housekeeper Cui Niang.

The three of them looked at the general sitting in the hall and the mysterious guests beside him, feeling a little confused.

This day is too strange.In the morning, the general lost his temper and shut these people out, and locked himself in the house for a day like never before.When he was holding the lamp, he hurriedly invited the guests back. They would sit in the main hall together, and the host and the guests seemed to be very harmonious.

Cui Niang, who served only close, relied on women's keen intuition to feel that the general was a little different from usual.

Cui Niang has only entered the mansion to serve in the last year. She has a delicate mind and keeps in mind all the general's favorite actions.At this moment, the general seemed to reveal subtle differences no matter whether he was sitting or talking.The general, who has never been close to women, showed an unusually gentle closeness to the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting next to him.The former generals were gentle and silent.At this time, the general has an extraordinary temperament, and he is as strong as a mountain.

It's not right, it's really wrong everywhere.Cui Niang thought in her heart.

But I saw the general speak slowly, "In the past, I regarded this matter as a great shame, and vowed that even if I live or die, I will never let my familiar friends know. But now, I am no longer ashamed of this, and want to make this bizarre The experience tells me the most trusted friend. I hope you will be calmer and listen to me carefully."

Qiu Yueming calmly narrated his experience over the past year.

The three people in front of them heard this, and they felt like a stormy sea was set off in their hearts. If the general hadn't dictated it personally, they would have never believed such a bizarre story in the world.

Over the past year, there has always been something wrong with the generals, which they couldn't understand in the past, but now that when I think about it, it suddenly became clear.

It turned out that the generals who have been with each other for more than a year, the generals who are gentle and generous, and the generals who practice hard and don't avoid the cold and heat, face the enemy's siege without fear, and the general who guards the city is only a weak woman.

The three looked at Qiu Yueming and then at Ding Yan beside him, staring at each other, unable to speak for a while.

"Yes, it is this lady who guarded the Datong Mansion for me during my absence, and relieved one of the people in the fire and water." Qiu Yueming pointed to Ding Yan next to him, "It should have been made public. In the world, let more people remember her achievements. The helpless ghosts and gods are too bizarre and inconvenient to promote. But I think at least a few of you close to you should know that the person who has been with you for a year is not me. , But her."

Hearing this, Cui Niang took the lead to bow to the ground and bowed. Xiao Lin and Zhu Xinyi glanced at each other, and both bowed.

Ding Yan's eyes were red, and she pulled them up.

Cui Niang wiped her tears and said, "I never thought that the general was actually a girl, no matter what the general saved Cui Niang. No matter what the general looks, Cui Niang will always serve the general in this life."

...

The frontier fortress scenery is different from the Jinxiu Jiangnan. It is not in a vast and magnificent state.

Three to five days passed in a flash after Qiu Yueming and Ding Yan's soul returned.Yuan Xiang'er has completed his task. He only took Nanhe Wuyuan and others to appreciate the desert scenery, ate the food outside the Great Wall, and set off for his hometown in these two days.

On the thick city wall, the Qiang flute is long and snowy in winter.

At a glance, you can see the city wall winding thousands of miles, like a giant snake crawling on the rolling ground.

Nan He closed his eyes and sat on the wall to condense the star power.

Yuan Xiang'er leaned against the wall stack not far away, with a straw in his mouth, looking out at the sunset over the river and the wilderness.

"Axiang, you are here, I searched for you for a long time." Qiu Yueming stepped on the top of the city.

"How about, General Qiu? Is Zhou Deyun still unable to persuade Ding Yan to go back with him?" Yuan Xianger jumped off the wall.

Qiu Yueming smiled bitterly and shook his head again and again, "Ms. Ding is a determined person. She made up her mind not to look back. I was afraid that Brother Zhou would have no choice but to take her. She even asked me to help her get a merchant household registration in Datong Mansion. Since then, I intend to settle here and do business for a living."

"Is she going to make a living in business? Alone, in this era? She really has courage. If she lacks capital, I still have some savings, so I can borrow it weekly."

"It's not a difficult thing to do with her ability, not to mention that I can always look after her one or two when stationed here." Qiu Yueming walked along the city wall with Yuan Xiang'er, "only poor brother Zhou can't let her go in every possible way, and he dragged me last night. After drinking all night, I was so drunk that I haven't woken up yet."

"Oh, I sympathize with Lao Zhou. In fact, it is not easy for him to walk this way." Yuan Xianger could not help but sigh, "but I also admire the courage of Lady Ding. It is a pity that people like her are not easily She is tolerated by the world. It is estimated that only monsters like me can understand her better."

"You are not a monster, Axiang, you are better than anyone else." Qiu Yueming said suddenly.

At this time, the wind was blowing, and the young general stood on the wall, majestic and heroic, with wide eyes and sword eyebrows, his eyes burning

"Maybe there is some abruptness, but you are going to set off in these two days. If I don't say it, I'm afraid I will regret it in my life." The fearless general who entered the enemy line is embarrassed and hurried at this moment, "I know that your world is different from I waited, but I don’t know if I can let Lie... let Lie have the honor to learn more."

He turned his back to thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and his eyes were full of young and hot emotions. He didn't need to say any more, Yuan Xianger already understood it all.

Such sincere feelings are moving, but along the way, Qiu Yueming gets along with Yuan Xiang'er as a woman. Yuan Xiang'er didn't notice that he had a different affection for him, so naturally he couldn't give any response.

"It's a great honor to hear the general's words. It's just that we cultivators can hardly enter the worldly love. Maybe... we can only fail the general's heart." Yuan Xiang'er sincerely and firmly declined this one that she did not want to accept. emotion.

In the distance of the city, Wu Yuan, who is extremely sensitive, raised his ears.

"Despicable human beings actually want to hook Axiang away. Brother Nan, just let me kill him."

Nan He pursed his mouth and said nothing.

"Brother Nan, you can't be careless." Hu Sanlang added fuel to the side, "Once a human male sees a female, there are endless methods of courtship. You can't go on like this, you must take the initiative, otherwise Axiang can really do it. They were abducted by humans. You must know that their favorite spouse of humans is their own race."

Nan He blushed and said with difficulty, "Be active? How to be active?"

"There are many active methods. You listen to me, I know humans best." Saburo stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "You can coquettish with her, begging for petting, and then seduce her, seduce her, and seduce yourself. Wash it up and give it to her..."

The author has something to say: Although everyone had a heated discussion, I still can only write what I want, sorry.

As a reader, it's normal to want to see a perfect character, but in fact, I don't have a perfect person from the protagonist.Zhou Xiaoxiao's face control, Cheng Qianye's weakness, Chu Qianxun's indifferent (both referring to the beginning), Yuan Xianger's wretched plush control?Crossed out (she should save some face before she finishes), anyway, I don't think there are perfect people in this world.

In addition, let’s talk about Ding Yan’s timeline. It was more than a year ago that she wore the general on her body. The war broke out recently, so she used the general’s strong physique to master some basic skills during this time.She didn't go directly to the battlefield, just organized the staff and wandered around the city.Although this plot may seem a bit riddled, it is a real case that happened to women in history, so I think it is feasible.

Love everyone, I'm too busy recently and I rarely chatter, but I cherish everyone's comments one by one, and touch each of you.
