Chapter 49: The Liar

Hearing his sad statement, I didn't know how to comfort him, so I had to take the initiative to admit my mistake: "I'm sorry, Brother Du, I always thought you were the concubine of the house, Sister Du is so favored, you must not be bad, I didn't expect it...... But you're just as good now, at least with your grandfather, doing what you like, and you've only been here for a short time, but you feel like your soldiers and subordinates are looking down on you, which means you're also very suitable for what you are doing. I once heard people say that when a husband is alive, he must create a career and show his true colors as a man. Now that you have this opportunity and this ability, you should be happy. “

After saying it in one breath, thinking about what he had just said, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears, and at this moment, he completely forgot what he had done before. Although I was curious why he didn't get his name until he was five years old, it must have been a bad experience, but I didn't dare to ask lightly, and I stopped talking for a long time before I said those words.

"Grandfather?" He seemed stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh, Marshal Du? He never treated me as a pure grandson, but only taught me martial arts, taught me how to march and fight, and regarded me as his successor, not his heir. “

"Heir? Successor?" I seem to understand a little, "The heir is all, and the successor is only referring to military matters, is that what it means?"

I didn't understand the words, but Du Yichun nodded as if he understood: "So I just treat him as a master who took me to the battlefield, and nothing else." ”

The sour feeling in my heart is even worse. I always felt that I was miserable before, and when I came here, except for the third brother who treated me sincerely, Ding Xiang and others seemed to have a purpose. But now compared to Du Yichun, I am so happy. At least the third brother is good to me, and although Ding Xiang has some kind of scheming, he always treats me as his own daughter, and protects me everywhere and gives me the most important tokens for safekeeping...... And Du Yichun, although I don't know why his father dislikes him so much, but judging from these circumstances, he must have had a hard time in that family.

"You're not crying, are you?" Du Yichun scratched my nose and said, "I'll talk about it casually, lie to you, and you believe it?"

I looked up angrily, only to see a sad look in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared and replaced it with the usual cold expression of indifference.

"Oh, is it? That's because I'm stupid. I silently withdrew the hand that was about to hit him, smiled absently, and said. said secretly in my heart: Du Yichun, don't try to lie to me, I accidentally revealed my heart, and I still want to admit it, I believe you are a fool.

He was stunned for a moment and said, "I lied to you, aren't you angry?"

I grinned and said, "I lied to you too, cooperate with you, don't you really think that I was moved by you?" However, Du Yichun! I put away my smile and said, "This is the last time I tolerate you lying to me, and next time, I will never forgive you." ”

His eyes froze, but he didn't answer me.

I was a little angry and said, "Hey, can't you treat me with sincerity, and if you think about it in the future, you will lie to me in the future, and you don't dare to say yes?"

He hesitated, "If, I mean if, if......" and he stopped here for a moment......

I hurriedly said, "What if?"

He said, "What if there is a problem? What about it?"

"Then tell me your troubles, don't lie to me." I replied without thinking.

"Really...... Got it. He nodded, and then changed his words, "But we really have to hurry up and set off to chase Zheng Yu and them." ”

"They're not with you?" I'm a little weird.

Du Yichun glanced at me and said: "Some people can't ride horses, but they run fast, they don't know the road, and they run around, do I want to take hundreds of people to accompany you to 'run wild'? I can only let Zheng Yu lead the team to Ancheng slowly, and I will catch up with you and then go to meet them." There was no conspiracy this time, and we were indeed left alone. “

As soon as he said this, I remembered the dilemma just now, and smiled embarrassedly: "But now that it's dark everywhere, how are we going to hurry?" Otherwise, find a place to rest for the night and leave tomorrow. “

He shook his head and said, "It's more dangerous to stay in these places for a long time, but fortunately I caught up, otherwise you might have fed the beasts tonight." ”

I knew he was right, and I felt a chill creep up my spine.

He reached out again and took my hand and said, "How is it?" I said I really like you, but you still don't believe it. “

I didn't want to dwell on this issue, so I shook off his hand and said, "Okay, get on the horse, I don't have time to talk so much?"

As I spoke, I untied the rope tied to the tree. But his right knee was numb and painful, and he couldn't get on the horse after a long day. Du Yichun came to see me, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, is it the injury I was injured before?" Why don't you say it? Let me see. ”

I stepped back, didn't let him touch my trouser leg, and said, "It's okay, haven't you heard what my third brother said?"

"Say what?" He impatiently pulled me in front of him and got down on one knee, trying to roll up my trouser leg to check.

"It's really nothing, I ...... I had a leg injury when I was a child, and I would be numb after walking or standing for a long time, and I might have been involved again when I just fell, but it was just a little numb, nothing, and my usual walking was not affected. I explained it upside down.

Actually, I don't usually care about this leg, but for some reason, I don't want Du Yichun to think that I am disabled......

He ignored my explanation, but pressed me to his lap and gently rolled up the hem of his pants to see the wounds on my legs and feet.

"It's just a skin injury, but if you have an old disease before, then you can't take it lightly, go back and find a doctor to treat you immediately. Now that you can't ride it yourself, you might as well ride with me. He said as he watched.

I wanted to say a few more words, but he raised his head and stopped me with a stern look, and I muttered: "Du Yichun, no wonder your subordinates are so afraid of you, you can kill people with this look!" ”

He helped me get my trouser leg in order, carried me to sit on my side on Blackie, turned around and tied the grey horse to Blackie's saddle, then turned over and walked slowly.

I was numb on my legs, and he gently wrapped me into his arms, and I leaned against his chest, feeling his heartbeat solid and powerful. He is different from Jiang Yunlin, he does not have Jiang Yunlin's usual smell of ambergris, but the cold taste is even worse, as if it is a murderous atmosphere, but after approaching him, there is a trace of body temperature, which is reassuring.

I shook my head and secretly warned myself: Ding Muqing, what's wrong with you, why do you think of Jiang Yunlin again, and compare him with Du Yichun. Jiang Yunlin is not your lover, how can Du Yichun be?

Du Yichun felt that I was shaking my head, and lowered my head and asked, "What are you doing?" Riding a horse is not honest? Let you lean on, and you can rest honestly. Also, can't you take the initiative to put your hand around me, and when I fall down, you say that I have a premeditated plan?"

I agreed weakly, put my hand around his waist, and tiredness hit me in a burst, and I fell asleep in a daze.

I didn't expect that something like that would happen when I woke up again.
