Soon it was getting dark, and the three of them had dinner together, and Chenguang hurriedly found an excuse to leave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was an oil lamp lit indoors, and the light was dim, and even though it was late autumn, the place still felt stuffy.

"Zhaozhao, let's go out for a walk. Shao Mingyuan proposed.

Qiao Zhao stood up: "Okay." ”

The two of them sat opposite each other until they fell asleep from now on, which was really a little embarrassing.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, my vision immediately widened, and I saw the unique garden landscape in the south, even if it was such an ordinary inn, it still showed a unique grace, but it was a pity that the dark clouds were low, and the layers seemed to be pressed to the ground, which made people feel depressed.

"It's going to rain. Shao Mingyuan looked up at the dark sky and muttered.

Qiao Zhao suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Big brother, your old cold legs are healed?"

Shao Mingyuan couldn't laugh a little: "Second brother, don't make fun of me." ”

He's not an old man.

Wait, could it be that Zhaozhao dislikes him for being old?

Looking down at the flowery girl, Shao Mingyuan suddenly felt a hint of crisis.

Zhao Zhao is not yet fourteen years old, and in two more years, he will be twenty-three.

Twenty-three, if you put it in someone else's house, the children will be six or seven years old.

The more Shao Mingyuan thought about it, the worse it became.

Otherwise, after returning to the capital, he will work harder and strive to marry Zhaozhao next year, he will only be twenty-two next year.

The Shogun silently made up his mind.

Finding that someone suddenly fell into deep thought, Qiao Zhao couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and seeing that he still hadn't come back to his senses, he simply looked into the distance.

She was looking at it casually, but this time her eyes shrank suddenly, and she hurriedly pulled Shao Mingyuan by the hand, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, do you see the person standing under the eaves of the porch over there, am I dazzled?"

Shao Mingyuan came back to his senses and followed Qiao Zhao's gaze, he was also stunned, and his face flashed with surprise.

Not far away, under the eaves of the porch, stood a dark figure, and the lantern hanging under the eaves emitted a hazy light, blurring the person's appearance.

But both Qiao Zhao and Shao Mingyuan recognized it at a glance, that person was Jiang Yuanchao, the thirteenth master of the Jinliang Guard!

Jiang Yuanchao seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned his gaze and glanced over here.

Shao Mingyuan calmly retracted his gaze, bowed his head and said to Qiao Zhao: "Go back to the house." ”

"Hmm. Qiao Zhao nodded quietly.

Jiang Yuanchao is quite deep in the city, no matter how surprising it is to appear here, there must not be the slightest show on his face, otherwise once he detects it, who knows what mistakes will be made.

The two made up their minds to go back to the room, but Jiang Yuanchao suddenly moved, and walked towards the two with long legs.

In order not to arouse suspicion, the two had to stop.

Jiang Yuanchao quickly walked in front of the two of them, and smiled at Shao Mingyuan: "Is Brother Tai a new tenant?"

Qiao Zhao lowered his eyes and stood beside Shao Mingyuan, and he couldn't help but sweat for him in his heart.

Both she and Shao Mingyuan had dealt with Jiang Yuanchao a lot, and she didn't think that the number two person in the Jinlan Guard, second only to Jiang Tang, would not be able to hear Shao Mingyuan's voice.

"Yes. Shao Mingyuan replied.

As soon as he spoke, Qiao Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't know that this person actually had the ability to change his voice, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes at this moment, just by the voice, she wouldn't have been able to tell that this low and honest voice was Shao Mingyuan's.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhao's heart tightened.

Oh no, the voice can reveal a person's identity, and the smell can too, and the string of agarwood hand beads she has been wearing on her wrist is likely to make her recognized by Jiang Yuanchao!

Qiao Zhao lowered his head and dodged behind Shao Mingyuan.

Jiang Yuanchao's gaze drooped slightly, and he swept past Qiao Zhao.

Shao Mingyuan's figure moved slightly, blocking Jiang Yuanchao's line of sight, and explained with a smile: "My brother is timid by nature, and I am a little afraid of seeing people, so don't blame my brother." ”

"How come?" Jiang Yuanchao pulled his lips and smiled, suddenly glanced at Shao Mingyuan, and asked meaningfully, "Brother Tai is from the north, right?"

Shao Mingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Why does Brother Tai ask that?"

Jiang Yuanchao had a faint smile on his lips: "I don't listen to the accent of Brother Tai is not like the people here, and few people here have the height of Brother Tai." ”

Shao Mingyuan laughed and said: "Hehe, brother Tai has good eyesight, my brother and I are indeed not locals." ”

"Oh, what are you doing here with your younger brother?"

Listening to Jiang Yuanchao's interrogation, Qiao Zhao secretly frowned.

Sure enough, he was born in Jinliangwei, and he can't change his habit of asking questions wherever he goes.

In the face of ordinary people's questions, they can ignore them, but in the face of Jiang Yuanchao's questions, they are not good not to answer, otherwise if it arouses his interest, it will be annoying to send someone to keep an eye on them at that time.

Shao Mingyuan obviously thought of going to the same place with Qiao Zhao, and when he heard Jiang Yuanchao ask, he said without thinking: "My father came to Fudong to discuss a business at the beginning of the year, but he never heard from him again after leaving home. The family sent someone to the south to look for them, but the person who sent them did not return. My mother was not at ease, so she ordered me to come to my father's place. ”

"Oh, I see. Jiang Yuanchao smiled lightly, "Since Brother Tai is going far away, why do you still take your younger brother with you?"

Qiao Zhao sighed secretly.

Jiang Yuanchao is really not easy to fool this person, not only is it not easy to fool, but he also hates it to the extreme, and he doesn't want to think about what he has to do with strangers when he asks questions!

Shao Mingyuan was not stopped by Jiang Yuanchao, and explained with a smile: "My second brother is just short, he is actually fifteen years old, which is not young. He is too shy, usually only love to bury his head in reading, I think it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, take him out to broaden his horizons, maybe he can change this girl-like temperament, so I persuaded my mother to bring him along, just the two brothers as a companion. ”

At this time, Qiao Zhao hid behind Shao Mingyuan, and most of his figure was covered by him.

Jiang Yuanchao's gaze fell on the top of her head, and he couldn't help but smile: "If you look at Brother Ling, there is something here that people mean." ”

Miss Qiao was furious.

What's wrong with her short stature? Did she violate any royal law? The ridicule in Jiang Yuanchao's tone was too obvious!

At this moment, thunder suddenly rolled in from the sky, breaking the silence of the night.

Shao Mingyuan looked up at the sky, and naturally said, "It's going to rain, I'll take my brother back to the house, goodbye." ”

Jiang Yuanchao bowed his hand elegantly: "Goodbye." ”

Shao Mingyuan quietly took Qiao Zhao's hand: "Second brother, let's go." ”

Until the backs of the two disappeared at the door, Jiang Yuanchao was still standing in place, looking thoughtful.

The rain outside still hadn't fallen, and the house was dim and stuffy, but Qiao Zhao had already begun to be annoyed by going out to breathe just now, so he walked to the window and quickly closed the window.

She sat down, and the first thing she did was lift her sleeves, revealing a piece of frost and snow.

Shao Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat.
