Chapter 46: Unable to confess
The boat traveled for more than ten days, and every time he docked at a wharf, Helan Qiyou took Qingxuan and Zixuan off the boat to go shopping while supplying, and took Qingxuan to the inn and chartered a room just to let her bathe. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoZixuan is happy as long as she can leave the ship, and she is very grateful to her uncle for being so considerate.
The Sand Gang's ships are sturdy and imposing, and they are quick to attack other ships at sea, but they are not as comfortable as merchant ships. It is barely possible to take a bath on the boat, but it is not easy to carry the hot water back and forth for her to bathe on the rocking boat, and Helan Qiyou does this to be considerate of his subordinates and take care of his wife's needs.
Everywhere she went, she would ask him about the location in detail, go back and compare it with the Tang Dynasty territory she held, and carefully note down the geographical location and customs of various places along the way.
In this way, the travel time slowed down a lot, and sometimes they had to leave the same night after docking to replenish some fresh water, and Helan Qiyou would take her to buy the famous local food, threatening that if she didn't eat more first, the food would not be good when she returned to the ship. Although he deliberately scares him and doesn't say many good things, Qingxuan can also slowly feel his sincerity. However, she always felt that he still had a secret of her, and it was clear that the wounds on his body had been healed for eight or nine minutes under her care, but when he slept at night, he was more repetitive than before, and it was always difficult to sleep.
The closer he got to returning to his home, the more obvious this became. Sometimes when she got up, she noticed that he had been awake for an unknown amount of time, and had been watching her fall asleep.
"Will it be to your house tomorrow?" Knowing that he was not asleep yet, Qing Xuan, who was lying on his side in the bed, asked him.
He took the opportunity to reach out and hug her from behind, leaning in to breathe in the fragrance of the bath behind her ears. "Well, our home is on the edge of Taihu Lake in Wuxi. ”
She was used to his movements, and didn't react much, just moved closer to the inner bed and grabbed the dagger hidden in her underwear.
"Where do you live by boat? I see that you are so skilled at walking on rocking boats, and you usually call boats your home?"
In the darkness, his chuckle could be heard from behind. "We don't need to live on a boat, you will feel uncomfortable. We have a big mansion on the edge of Taihu Lake, connected to Taihu Lake, the house can also take a small boat to pass, it is less than ten years after completion, I live in the East Garden recently found a geothermal spring, you like to take a bath so much, I asked the craftsman to build a bath room for you, and draw hot spring water to make a warm pool for you. As for other places, you can take a look tomorrow, if you don't like it, we can also live somewhere else, and the Haisha Gang also has other courtyards in many places. If you like to be lively, we also have a mansion in Chang'an City. ”
Hearing him say so much to please her, although she didn't answer immediately, she listened to it without envy, and she wanted to go to all the places he had been. "Chang'an is an imperial city, and I want to see it when I have a chance in the future. ”
"Okay..."The warmth he exhaled blew on the back of her neck, and she was a little sleepy, and she wanted to sleep. Suddenly, she remembered that she was going to his house tomorrow, and she married him, but she didn't seem to know anything about his family. So she opened her eyes and asked him questions. "What kind of person is your mother, and why are you with your father?"
She was concerned about his affairs, and Helan Qiyou was naturally happy and answered quickly. "She was a beautiful young official daughter, and I heard that once when she went to the dock to deliver the boat, the carriage was knocked down by a frightened horse, and her father was injured in order to save her, so the two met. ”
She fantasized about whether she would like the man if it was such a plot, but she remembered Helan Qiyou's time to save her from being shot by an arrow. "So does your mother like him to be a hero to save beauty, or is it because he is a completely different person from her?"
She and Helan Qiyou are also completely different people, maybe this will attract each other.
"Then I don't know, and I haven't had a chance to ask her. I only know that she later sent a letter to comfort her father's injury, and my father replied, and the two exchanged letters in secret for a while, and my mother decided to elope with him. My father had already established the Haisha Gang at that time, and his status in the rivers and lakes was not low, but my mother's family never recognized this marriage. They hadn't been together for a few years, and she was gone when I was born. ”
He said it lightly, but compared to Qinglin's parents, younger siblings, it sounds like Helan is not living a very good life.
She turned slowly, trying to see the expression on his face, and somehow, she felt that he was hiding some emotion. "Then you don't have any other siblings at home?"
"Yes, my father later married a concubine, Mrs. Wang, and I have a younger brother who is four years younger than me, the same year as Gongsun Yuqi. There is also a younger sister who is fourteen years old. ”
"Oh... I thought your father liked your mother very much..."She wanted to say it, but how did she know that he had married someone else, but her daughter-in-law had no right to question it, so she didn't say any more.
Helan Qiyou listened to it with heavy breathing, and didn't speak again for a while. "So if one day you're gone, don't you want me to marry someone else?"
"How can we be the same, we are not..."
She wanted to say that they were not happy to marry, and Helan Qiyou took the opportunity to turn over and press on her. "We are.... I like you, and you like me. ”
His inky eyes were as black as night stars, and Qing Xuan couldn't see it really, only feeling a burst of warm oppression. He eagerly lowered his head and kissed her, but she reached out to refuse, but he didn't move.
"Lu'er..."
"Don't—" she tilted her head to hide.
He kissed her lips, her face, and her neck socket fervently, and in an instant he expertly untied the belt of her bedgown and touched her waist. His large hands seemed to be magical, and her whole body was burned with unfamiliar flames.
Then Helan Qiyou found himself flying to the top of the bed, and then he was thrown straight off the bed, he got up, and looked unsteadily at his wife, who was sitting on the bed, pulling up the sheet and wrapping his body, and couldn't believe that he was really thrown off the bed.
"I said I didn't!" she narrowed, the expression on her face indicating that he had done it to himself.
She knew that there were many men and women in this world who didn't know each other before they got married, and they had to do everything they could to do after they got married, but she couldn't accept Helan's blessings.
He was too strong, and she was too scared.
Afraid of being possessed by him, he is even more afraid that he possesses not only her body, but also her heart and her will.
