31. Chapter XXXI
The glow of gold powder sprinkled down his head and face, and a puffy face was squeezed out of the gap in the cloak of the king of Chu, his eyes swept around, and then he swallowed: "Eat." β
Lunch was broken up before I ate, and breakfast seemed to be too excited to eat......
The king of Chu smiled: "Then you call me a nice sound." β
"My king has been a thousand years old, a hundred years old, a hundred years old, a hundred years old." Xinhui is like a rainbow.
"That's not right." The hand on his waist tightened, and Xin Hui's face turned even redder, almost catching up with the tempting cherry.
She glanced left and right with her eyes, hiding the cunning in her eyes, and bit her tongue and whispered, "Brother Jue......"
The king of Chu only felt a numbness in his chest, and he lowered his head to kiss her, but she hid him, and then a sullen anger came from his arms: "I'm hungry." β
He laughed, and his face shone as if the sun were shining on it.
"It doesn't count." As he spoke, he pinched her soft face, and heard a rumbling sound in her belly, so he quickly reached out and unfastened his cloak, put on a hood for her, and made sure that there was no trace of spring visible from outside, and then turned over and dismounted.
"Wait here." He rested the reins in her hand, shook her hand, and instructed, "This horse is gentle, and if you don't move, it will be as good as a dog." β
Xin Hui smiled: "Don't worry, the king, the concubines have never ridden a horse, and they have also eaten horse meat." β
King Chu's hand stiffened.
She smiled even more meekly and with a mouthful of white teeth.
The king of Chu took two steps and looked back at her, she was tilting her head to look at him, a pair of dark eyes were wet, as if there were two grapes on the cotton man, and he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
She waved at him, the king of Chu buckled the body of the tree, jumped twice, and jumped on the branch, such a thing, for him, long lost and familiar, the difference is that it was a chirping bird waiting under the tree, but now, waiting below is just her.
He tugged the hem of his shirt into his belt, and picked only the ripe red cherries that were about to be crossed off, and when he had finished plucking, he saw a larger and fuller branch, and turned over and climbed over.
And at this moment, he suddenly heard a neighing of a horse, and hurriedly turned around, only to see that the jade horse, which had always been docile, was jumping vigorously with its front hooves, and Xin Hui was holding the reins of the horse hard, and one side of the horse's face was also grabbed by her indiscriminately, and it was about to fall.
"Be careful!" He was about to jump off the tree when he held the cherry in his pocket with one hand, but she suddenly slapped the horse's buttocks violently: "You give me a quiet!" β
β¦β¦ Be quiet......
The change was just a moment, the jade horse was suddenly in pain, and finally flicked the horse's tail, and galloped wildly, he was stunned for a moment, only to hear Xin Hui's intermittent voice in the wind: "Wang ...... King...... Ah......h
Under the setting sun, the wind blew off her hood and scattered her long hair, and she was like a colorful cloud reflecting the glow, warm and scorching, and quickly disappeared in his eyes.
He jumped down from the tree, and the billowing cherries fell to the ground, falling into the downy grass like countless flowers.
Two masked guards jumped out of nowhere and fell to their knees.
"There is a dark whistle ahead, and a signal has been sent to answer Madame." One of them said immediately.
"Didn't you say that this horse is extremely docile?" The voice of the king of Chu was inaudible, but it was more disturbing than an angry interrogation.
The two guards glanced at each other, and cold sweat slowly flowed from the forehead of the person who spoke first.
"If Madame Jun was a little more gentle with the Jade Horse...... It's never going to be so grumpy......"
The other guard looked up at the clumps of horse's sideburns that had fallen from the ground......
The king of Chu suddenly understood, he knew, he knew! She is such a person who eats fish sickness and frog cough, is thick-skinned and arrogant all day long, and even cheats when embroidering a quilt, where can she be so obedient and docile waiting there.
This little liar should be locked in a rich palace, cleaned up fiercely, and used her eyes as the key, so that she couldn't run away, and she didn't dare to run.
How could she pretend to be obedient at first, but she had made up her mind to lie to him at all!
"Where's Yan Yin?" He looked around and frowned.
"When the general came out, he was separated from his subordinates and others, and he has not yet returned."
A horse was quickly pulled out of the peach forest, and the king of Chu turned over on his horse and waved his hand to the dark guard on the ground, and they disappeared as quickly as light.
"Drive!" The king of Chu galloped forward on the only trail.
However, it was not good news that awaited him.
Several disguised guards fell to the ground, and the king of Chu felt uneasy, he turned over and dismounted, strode forward, and lifted the placket of a woodcutter's clothes.
"What's going on?"
The guard panted loudly and wanted to speak, but his mouth was full of black blood clots, and his tongue was cut out.
The murmuring sound of the mountain stream, the eerie silence.
In the midst of the mess, a dark guard with stab wounds all over his body could still speak: "We have been attacked, ma'am......"
"Tell me, what's wrong with her!" The king of Chu let go of the person in his hand and looked at him.
The man staggered and moved his broken arm, with a cold arrow tied to it and a letter in the arrow.
He pressed down the acupuncture point of the dark guard, pulled out the arrow, and unfolded the letter, and in the terrifying bloodstains, half of the little finger was wrapped in it, so small, it was not anyone here at first glance.
On the letter are two lines of delicate cursive:
Wanted to see her. Mass graves in the east of the city.
The mass grave in the east of the city is only a few miles away. It used to be a beautiful place, but since the last time tens of thousands of rebels were killed, it has become a terrifying mass grave, and later, the wicked with the heads of the devils, and the lonely souls who died of starvation and disease were also thrown away. Nearby residents can often see the ghost fire wandering wantonly in the cold night, so later, they invited the Taoist master to build a Taoist temple here, so as to talk about the people's hearts.
The King of Chu stared at the letter for a long time, his eyes were extremely cold, and he turned back into the cold and brutal warrior, he clenched the bloodstained letter, and the short fingers in the letterhead burned all his sharpest nerves.
"The messenger said that he could see her only if the king himself went."
He snorted coldly, turned around and went to lead the horse.
The secret guard's hand bones were broken, but he tried his best to hold his feet: "Your Majesty...... Don't ......," he shouted, "it's too dangerousβ"
They are all secret guards who have experienced the battlefield, and killing people is like a cow to them, but the other party is only one person, and he is still a half-old child.
The king of Chu threw off his hem and got rid of the secret guard, and there were faint horse's hooves between the mountain streams, but he couldn't wait, and he didn't want to wait, his voice was full of cold killing intent: "Whoever dares to touch her, I will make him regret being born in this world." β
He flung the whip on the horse's hips, and the black horse gradually rushed into the slowly setting sun.
The night in the mountains always came unexpectedly, and when the sun set the last little corner, Xin Hui finally dragged his bloody feet to the city gate.
If she hadn't eaten a few steamed buns on the way, she would have been afraid to crawl over now.
Xin Hui picked his shoulders and touched his waist again, there was always a strange smell in this dress, and I don't know how long I hadn't washed it.
After she instigated the stupid horse to leave, she knew that sooner or later she would be caught up by the King of Chu, but she finally came out once, how could she go back so lightly, she still had a lot of good things and a lot of good fish that she hadn't eaten.
Besides, she promised her beautiful teeth first, and she would definitely bring back the fairy fish cake and Keats fish fillet that she had been dreaming of for a long time.
And this is something that the king of Chu wants to go crazy when he hears the name.
The first thing Xin Hui did after getting out was to find a young village girl on the road first, only to say that she had met a bandit, and spent a pair of earrings to change her coarse cloth clothes, and she didn't care about chasing the horse that bared her teeth when she saw her, so she swaggered back to the city on the official road.
If the king of Chu asked in the future, she would just say that the horse was crazy, and directly carried her back to the city, and the city gate was accidentally closed. She didn't dare to reveal her identity, let alone act rashly, so she could only wait for him in the city obediently......
How obedient he is, in addition to waiting for him obediently, he doesn't dare to say a word lightly, and take one more step, lest he be deceived by others.
And this precious and free night, with a sparkling star in her eyes, I am coming!
At this time, Xin Hui's face was covered with gray stains, his hair was like a bird's nest, he was dressed in coarse cloth clothes with patches, and his limping legs, where was half the appearance of a queen and a marquis...... It is difficult for acquaintances to meet each other, and they ask with a smile where they come from.
Hurry up and hurry to the city gate, but it was time to close the city gate, she was about to go in, a man stretched out his hand to stop her, Xin Hui was angry, poor Baba said that his family was in this city, because he missed the time to go to relatives, please let the two people who stopped her be kind, don't let her be a weak woman wandering outside.
A man looked her up and down, but he didn't sneer in his nose and asked her for guidance, Xin Hui opened his mouth and had to say nothing.
The man became impatient, and with his cane he was about to push her.
At this time, an old man who had been silent next to him suddenly spoke: "Let her in." β
The other two looked at the man whose feet had been killed, as if they didn't dare to disobey him, they glanced at Xin Hui impatiently, and waved their hands to chase away the pigs and dogs: "Don't fast forward yet!" β
Xin Hui endured his annoyance and glanced at the other two people who looked down on people, and smiled lightly at the man on crutches: "Thank you." β
He was silent, his eyes looking at her deeply, his gray hair fluttering slightly in the wind.
Xinhui finally entered the city, and the heavy city gate slowly closed behind him.
There was a faint unspeakable uneasiness somewhere in her heart, she held back this abrupt feeling, turned her head to look at the early lanterns, the sound of warblers and swallows, and the fragrant inner city, and greater joy surged up.
A night that belongs to Xinhui is coming.
