The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 120 When Did You Fall in Love?

As the sun sets, the evening glow paints half the sky red.

In a desolate mountain range, on a narrow path, a ragged beggar was running desperately.

Behind him, a group of soldiers in armor were in hot pursuit, shouting slogans to capture the fugitive.

The beggar's breathing became more and more rapid, and his steps became heavier and heavier.

He glanced back and saw the soldiers getting closer and closer, and his heart was filled with despair.

Ahead lay a bottomless abyss, and he knew he had nowhere to retreat.

"It's over, I'm doomed today."

The beggar thought to himself, but still ran forward unwillingly.

The beggar ran to the edge of the cliff, where a vast abyss lay before him, the wind howling and terrifying.

He stopped and turned around, facing the approaching soldiers, his heart filled with helplessness and despair.

He turned around, intending to jump off the cliff.

Just then, a figure rushed past him at high speed; it was Qiu Ziyue.

Just as the beggar turned to rush towards the cliff, Qiu Ziyue rushed forward without hesitation and grabbed the beggar's hand.

"Don't jump!" Qiu Ziyue shouted.

The beggar struggled to break free, but Qiu Ziyue held his hand tightly and pulled him back forcefully.

The two of them fell together at the edge of the cliff, nearly plunging into the abyss.

"Quick, pull me up!" Qiu Ziyue shouted to Qi Yuxuan beside her.

Qi Yuxuan and Liu Qingluo quickly stepped forward and together pulled the beggar and Qiu Ziyue up.

The beggar was still in shock, his hair was disheveled, and his face was so dirty that his features were obscured. Only his clear eyes, like a clear spring, shone with gratitude.

Just as the beggar and Qiu Ziyue had regained their footing, the group of soldiers had already caught up to the edge of the cliff.

The leading officer glared fiercely at the beggar and shouted, "Hand him over now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Qi Yuxuan smiled coldly, drew his long sword from his waist, and stood in front of the beggar.

Liu Qingluo and Qiu Ziyue also drew their weapons, ready to fight.

"You people are killing innocent people indiscriminately, not even sparing a beggar!" Qi Yuxuan shouted sternly.

Before the words were even finished, the two sides had already clashed.

Qi Yuxuan, Qiu Ziyue, and their group of eight worked together seamlessly, and with Xueying's assistance, the soldiers fell one after another amidst the flashing swords.

In the end, all the officers and soldiers were dealt with, leaving the scene in a mess.

After the battle, Qiu Ziyue walked up to the beggar and asked softly, "What's your name? Why were you being chased by soldiers?"

The beggar wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at Qiu Ziyue with gratitude.

He slowly began to speak, "Thank you for saving me. My name is Du Guangyi, and I am Du Rangneng's son."

Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan were both taken aback when they heard this.

They knew that in the second year of Jingfu (893), Emperor Zhaozong was dissatisfied with Li Maozhen, the military governor of Fengxiang, for encroaching on Shannan, so he appointed someone to replace Li Maozhen as the military governor of Fengxiang and sent 30,000 imperial guards to escort him.

Prime Minister Cui Zhaowei was at odds with Du Rangneng, so he secretly informed Li Maozhen that the decision to send troops was Du Rangneng's idea.

Li Maozhen led his troops to defeat the Imperial Guards and advanced to the outskirts of Chang'an, declaring his intention to punish Du Rangneng.

Left with no other choice, Emperor Zhaozong ordered Du Rangneng to commit suicide.

Later, Du Rangneng's entire family suffered persecution, and only Du Guangyi and his younger brother Du Xiao managed to escape and ended up on the streets.

“We’ve heard about your father’s affairs,” Qi Yuxuan said in a deep voice. “Then where are you and your brother now?”

Du Guangyi sighed and said, "After my father passed away, my brother and I were left to wander the streets, begging for a living. Today, we were discovered by the soldiers because of some trivial matter, which is why they are chasing us."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She stepped forward and said gently, "Du Guangyi, don't worry, we will help you and your brother and will not let you suffer anymore."

Du Guangyi nodded gratefully, tears welling in his eyes.

As night fell, the group, led by Du Guangyi, found Du Xiao in a nearby cave.

Du Guangyi introduced Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan to Du Xiao, who happily said, "So you are the female general Qiu Ziyue! I've heard many people say that you are very brave and valiant."

Qiu Ziyue blushed and said, "You're too kind. I'm not as brave and powerful as you say. I'm just a little girl who likes to fight."

Du Xiao said with a smile, "Sister Qiu, why didn't you become a general? It's such a pity."

"My sister thinks fighting is no fun and wants to go home to grow flowers and plants."

Looking into Du Xiaotong's innocent eyes, Qiu Ziyue felt a pang of pity and spoke gently.

It was late at night, and everyone was exhausted, so they settled down temporarily in the cave.

As night deepened, stars gradually illuminated the dark sky.

A gentle breeze carries the faint scent of grass and trees, which is refreshing and delightful.

Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan sat on an ancient pine tree. Its lush foliage blocked some of the moonlight, but also added to the sense of mystery.

This tree is tall and straight, with thick branches, as if it were a guardian of nature.

Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan found a comfortable spot to sit down, leaning against the tree trunk and looking up at the starry sky.

The leaves swayed gently in the wind, making a rustling sound, like a symphony of nature.

"This is a really nice place," Qiu Ziyue said softly, a hint of satisfaction in her voice.

Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly and looked at her tenderly: "Yes, it's better with you here."

The two quietly enjoyed the tranquility, occasionally exchanging a few whispered words. Qiu Ziyue pointed to the brightest star in the sky and said, "Look, that star seems to be winking at us."

Qi Yuxuan looked in the direction she was pointing and smiled, "That must be our guardian star."

Qiu Ziyue nodded, her eyes sparkling: "Yes, it's so beautiful."

Qi Yuxuan felt a warmth in his heart and gently took her hand, his voice warm and firm: "I will always be by your side, watching the stars together."

At that moment, their hearts resonated with each other, as if the distance between them had been shortened considerably.

In the night sky, the stars seemed even brighter, twinkling in the boundless universe, witnessing this beautiful moment.

“You know what?” Qiu Ziyue suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with emotion, “Sometimes, I feel like we are like these stars, lonely but always able to find each other’s light.”

Qi Yuxuan smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Yes, we are each other's light, and we will never lose our way, no matter when or where."

Qi Yuxuan pulled Qiu Ziyue into his arms, and the two looked at the twinkling stars together.

"Ziyue, may I ask why you resigned from your official post and went into seclusion?"

"Well, what else could it be? Self-preservation, just wanting to survive?"

"this"?

"You're stupid. Think about it. The situation is so turbulent right now. How can a mere woman like me control it? His Majesty is weak and can't manage the overall situation."

"What else?"

"With so many heroes vying for supremacy, my godfather's apparent aim is to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty, but in reality, he's expanding his territory. I don't want to be a pawn, used by others. If I get involved again, I'll be ruined sooner or later," Qiu Ziyue muttered.

"My wife is truly intelligent," Qi Yuxuan praised.

"Why are you here again? We're not even married yet."

“Ziyue, although we are not married yet, we are already intimate. You are my wife, Qi Yuxuan’s wife.”

"You still say that? I'm so embarrassed!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan helped Qiu Ziyue up from his arms, and the two looked at each other.

Qi Yuxuan pulled Qiu Ziyue close and kissed her deeply.

The starlight shone brightly, and the moonlight was hazy.

Silence reigned, yet love surged forth.

After the kiss, Qi Yuxuan gently released Qiu Ziyue and asked, "Ziyue, do you love me?"

"Mm," Qiu Ziyue nodded.

When?

"I don't know if it was when you called me a female demon, or when you stabbed me with your sword, or when we were composing a duel with the zither and sword. I really don't know. And you, do you love me?"

"like".

"So when did you fall in love with me?"

"I don't know. Maybe I fell in love with you long ago but didn't realize it, so I always hurt you. Fortunately, I realized it early."

Qiu Ziyue leaned against Qi Yuxuan's chest again, quietly gazing at the night sky.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment, as if the whole world had stood still.

Qiu Ziyue said softly, "I hope we can continue like this, and no matter how many storms we face in the future, we can weather them together."

Qi Yuxuan nodded gently, his tone firm: "It definitely will. Every step we take together will become our most precious memory."

They sat in the tree for a long time; this night was destined to be an unforgettable one for them.
