Chapter 60: Young Master Ben hasn't bathed yet
Shen Bai hadn't seen how this thing was operated specifically, and he was stared at by Gu Hengzhou like this, and thought that he had made him uncomfortable by doing something wrong.
Fortunately, before Gu Hengzhou got married, Shen Bai also went to Lanyue Pavilion to drink, and when he was slightly drunk, he grabbed the Hualing girl in the pavilion and asked many women how to please men, Shen Bai recalled carefully, looked at Gu Hengzhou seriously and said, "Brother Gu, don't look at me." ”
Gu Hengzhou's pupils trembled, and his heart was swelled to the extreme by unknown emotions in an instant.
His eyebrows and eyes were no longer cold, the corners of his eyes were dyed bright red, and the bottom of his eyes also floated with rippling water, and the light in his eyes became obscure, constantly surging, and the noise was like dust.
Shen Bai stopped talking, Gu Hengzhou's breathing was completely messed up, his eyebrows were furrowed, he raised his hand to grab Shen Bai's shoulder, his thin lips opened slightly, his voice was unstable, and he lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Shen Bai, you dare!" ”
The lust in his eyes was as strong as the rhododendrons blooming all over the mountains, which was the best color in the world that Shen Bai had never seen in his life, Shen Bai thought that he died under the blazing horse without even entering the cave room, and all the fear turned into boiling loneliness.
She doesn't want him to be cold and cold, not to eat the fireworks of the world, she wants him to see the prosperity of the world and taste the happiness of the world!
With a twitch of his fingertips, Shen Bai put everything aside and leaned over to press Gu Hengzhou's lips.
Gu Hengzhou's eyes widened, because he was too stunned, so that Shen Bai had an opportunity to take advantage of it, his lips and teeth were captured, and there were brilliant fireworks crackling and exploding in his mind, burning all his mental defense and reason and turning them into ashes.
A quarter of an hour later......
"Inspector, are you awake?"
Ah Chai stood outside the tent with hot water and asked, this was the first time that Gu Hengzhou hadn't gotten up so late, and he felt a little abnormal.
Gu Hengzhou called in a deep voice: "Come in." ”
The voice was much hoarse than usual, Ah Chai went in with the water, and asked with concern: "Supervisor, why is your voice hoarse?" Is it infected with the cold, but you have to ask the military doctor in the camp to come and take a look? ”
Gu Hengzhou's face was cold, but the corners of his eyes were abnormally red, and he said lightly: "No need, it's just a little thirsty." ”
Ah Chai did not doubt him, seeing that Gu Hengzhou had changed his clothes, he walked to the side of the bed by habit, and wanted to take away the dirty clothes to wash, Gu Hengzhou spoke again: "I have something to do with Vice Li Wei, you go and invite him over." ”
Ah Chai answered, turned his steps and walked out, and after walking out of the tent, he realized that Shen Bai was no longer in the tent, and there seemed to be a faint fishy smell in the tent just now.
Ah Chai and Shen Bai were about the same age, and they hadn't gone through the personnel yet, so they just felt strange, scratched their heads, and didn't think about what it smelled like, so they suppressed their thoughts and didn't think about it.
But it was said that Shen Bai came out of the lieutenant camp with a red face, got on the horse and ran out for a distance, and immediately reined in the horse's reins after calming down, hugged the horse's neck with a wail and didn't move, his ears were full of Gu Hengzhou's rapid breathing and frantic heartbeat, his eyes were red, his eyes were intoxicated, and even his face was red.
Shen Bai had never seen Gu Hengzhou like that, all the usual calm self-control was broken, and the out-of-control desires were surging like a tide, and Shen Bai's heart was beating like a drum.
Although Gu Hengzhou has never been married, there are many rumors about him in the land of fireworks, and many people say that Gu Hengzhou, who is fighting on the battlefield, is physically strong and talented, and few women in Beijing can stand him.
Most men are proud of this aspect, Shen Bai never thought about what to do with Gu Hengzhou at that time, but he was also proud of Gu Hengzhou, Brother Gu's schoolwork was the first when he was in Tai Academy, and this aspect will naturally be beyond the reach of others.
It's just that she never expected Gu Hengzhou to be so ...... Fast.
Thinking about it, Shen Bai regretted it again, hugged the horse's neck and wailed frantically: "It's over, it's over, why did I say it in front of Brother Gu with a twitch in my brain?" Brother Gu is so thin-skinned, if you think that I laugh at him in my heart, I will definitely kill me! ”
The horse below also felt her panic, snorted lightly, and spun around in place twice.
After a few moments, the sound of horses' hooves and the rattling of the carriage was heard, and when I looked up, a one-seater carriage came to a halt.
Shen Bai sat up straight on the back of the horse, a slender hand as a bamboo lifted the curtain, Zhao Che's handsome and warm face came into view, Shen Bai instantly suppressed his chaotic thoughts, turned over and dismounted and saluted: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Zhao Che'an looked at her quietly, Shen Bai didn't dare to raise his head, feeling a cold coercion, for a long time, Zhao Chewen laughed: "Didn't you say it last time, this palace doesn't like you to keep your head down in front of this palace." ”
Shen Bai raised his head to meet his gaze: "Your Highness, are you going to go to the captain's camp to find Inspector Gu or are you going to look for me?" ”
Zhao Che asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”
That's the one who came to her.
After reaching a conclusion, without waiting for Zhao Che to speak, Shen Bai directly got up and climbed into the carriage.
Although it was a single-ride carriage, the space inside was still larger than that of an ordinary carriage, the stools were very soft, and a layer of snow-white rabbit skin was also laid underneath, and Shen Bai felt a sense of guilt when he stepped on it.
There was also a small table in the car, with a pot of hot tea, two teacups and a small plate of delicate pastries.
Shen Bai ran away from the lieutenant's camp without bothering to eat breakfast, and when he smelled the fragrance of the pastries, his stomach immediately rumbled twice, and he looked at Zhao Che with blank eyes, the corners of Zhao Che's lips raised slightly, and he said generously: "Eat." ”
Shen Bai immediately grabbed the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, afraid of choking, so he poured himself another cup of tea and poured it down.
She ate without hesitation, and her appearance was not very good-looking, not like Jin Gui's only son, but more like a homeless person who had been hungry for several days.
Zhao Che asked, "Aren't you afraid that these pastries are poisonous?" ”
Shen Bai was not frightened, chewed hard, swallowed what was in his mouth and said: "The monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, even if it is really poisonous, if His Highness wants me to eat it, I will eat it without hesitation." ”
This is very official politeness, Zhao Che asked rhetorically: "Then when you were in the paddock, this palace wanted you to die, why didn't you die?" ”
Reluctantly filling his stomach, Shen Bai stopped eating, drank two more cups of tea, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his mouth informally, and said: "Since Your Highness gave me silver silk soft armor, even if you want me to die, you should also want to appreciate my desperate struggle, if I really die like this, wouldn't I live up to His Highness's expectations in vain?" ”
The carriage was moving nowhere, and the shaking amplitude was very small, and Zhao Che looked straight into her eyes, like a sharp knife, trying to cut open the flesh and skin of this body to see what kind of soul was wrapped inside.
Zhao Che asked, "Do you have a grudge against this palace?" ”
Shen Bai shook his head: "No complaints." ”
He is the prince of a country, and these means are what he should have, and the kindness of a woman cannot govern the country, let alone save the country.
Shen Bai's answer was too refreshing and too frank and firm, so that Zhao Che didn't know what to say for a while, and the carriage was quiet, only the sound of gurgling was left.
Shen Bai took the initiative to attack: "Your Highness, I heard that Wu Zhongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, proposed in the court that he would send envoys to Donghengguo to give their royal family this year's return gift, and I dared to suggest that His Royal Highness can go with Gu Supervisor this time." ”
Zhao Che said lightly: "Donghengguo has always been attached to Zhaoling, and the return gift personally escorted by the prince of Zhenguo is enough to reflect Zhaoling's importance to them, why does this palace surrender its identity and accompany it?" ”
During the reign of the first emperor, Zhaoling's national strength reached its peak, and several neighboring countries around it did have to rely on Zhaoling to survive, and the sense of superiority between Zhao Che's words was not blind and arrogant, but that was decades ago.
In the years when the first emperor was seriously ill, the Lu family headed by the queen mother, the Li family represented by Prime Minister Li Deren, the Jiang family represented by Jiang De'an, and the Wei family represented by the former empress, who was still the crown princess at that time, all went their own ways and took charge of the four major aspects of industry, agriculture, and business.
After the death of the first emperor, Emperor Hengde succeeded to the throne, fortunately with the financial support of the Wei family, Emperor Hengde was able to stabilize the situation, but since the death of the first queen, the Wei family has gradually declined, and the trade route of Zhaoling has become increasingly closed.
At this time, Zhaoling was far from the heyday of the original dynasty.
But this kind of truth is too harsh to say, no one dares to say it, everyone is holding a fluke mentality, indulging in this prosperous dream and unwilling to wake up.
Shen Bai did not directly pick out the current situation to persuade Zhao Che, but just followed Zhao Che's words and said: "Of course, Your Highness does not need to surrender your identity, you are the prince of a country, and it is indeed too grand to go to Dongheng Kingdom in person, but you can pretend to be a caravan and go out on patrol after following the escorted carriage and horses." ”
Zhao Che raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Bai: "Why do you insist so much on letting me leave the palace?" ”
Because only when you leave the palace full of boasting and extravagance of wine and meat, can you see the real society and become a real emperor.
Shen Bai met Zhao Che's eyes, his eyes lit up like a fire: "When the first emperor was the prince, he once accompanied Emperor Wuzong to drive the expedition, and then personally led the troops to retreat from the enemy twice, when His Majesty was the prince today, he personally went down to Huainan to control the floods, and after three years on the throne, he also went out of the palace with the first queen to observe the people's feelings, they are not afraid to go deep into the people, why is His Royal Highness so resistant to this matter?" ”
Zhaoling has been founded for more than 300 years, and the emperors of all dynasties have actually had the practice of patrolling in micro-clothes, and there is no need for Shen Bai to say, Zhao Che can skillfully list the merits of each of these ancestors.
But now the undercurrent in the court is surging, far from being as calm as it seems, Zhao Che, as the prince of a country, once he leaves the palace, it will cause unimaginable changes.
Zhao Che pursed his lips and thought about it, and the folding fan in his hand tapped lightly on the several.
Shen Bai knew what he was considering, and waited patiently for a while and whispered: "Your Highness, Brother Gu will go to Lingzhou next year to take up his post, if you miss this opportunity, if Your Highness wants to leave the palace again, you will not find a more loyal and stable candidate than Brother Gu." ”
If Zhao Che couldn't even trust Gu Hengzhou, then there was no one in the entire Zhaoling Tomb that he could trust.
Zhao Che's folding fan knocked on a few and stopped, Shen Bai didn't move, looked at Zhao Che straight and said: "Your Highness wants me to make an invincible sharp knife, but I want to be loyal to only the brave and wise Ming Jun, if there is no strong lord of the famous sword, after all, it will only be dusty and rusty, right?" ”
Shen Bai's words were a little ugly, and he used the radical method against Zhao Che, he was indeed in a high position and had the power of life and death to Shen Bai, but Shen Bai could not only accept it, they were in a relationship of mutual choice and mutual consideration.
Zhao Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were a little cold: "Shen Bai, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Of course Shen Bai knows." Shen Bai nodded and said firmly, "Your Highness, Brother Gu and I are your most loyal ministers, whether it is this trip or in the future, in the event of danger, Brother Gu and I will not hesitate to stand in front of you, please believe that we have the strength to protect you!" ”
Trust between kings and ministers is too difficult.
After the death of the last Zhenguo Gong, Gu Hengzhou quickly stood alone, but he had too little contact and communication with Emperor Hengde and Zhao Che, and he never got married, and the royal family was wary of him, so Gu Hengzhou often presented excerpts to make appeals for the generals and soldiers in the army, but they were directly ignored.
Shen Bai hinted that Wu Shouxin's proposal to let Gu Hengzhou be in charge of the escort of the return gift also had this consideration.
As long as Gu Hengzhou can gain Zhao Che's trust, everything in the army will be easy to talk about in the future.
Shen Bai's tone was extremely firm, and his expression was also very cooperative, Zhao Che had to admit that he was touched in his heart, but this was a big deal after all, Zhao Che didn't agree immediately, just said: "Xingyuan's ability This palace never doubts, you are too flamboyant, and you can only believe three layers when you say it." ”
Shen Bai stopped at the point, and did not continue to persuade, so as not to make Zhao Che disgusted, poured another cup of tea, and boldly touched Zhao Che's teacup: "Lu Yao knows that horsepower has been popular for a long time. ”
When he was about to reach the city gate, Zhao Che let Shen Bai get out of the car, her horse was still there, and Shen Bai rode home directly.
When she walked away, the coachman asked in a low voice outside, "Master, Young Master Shen has already left, do you want to go back to the palace now?" ”
Zhao Che looked at the empty cup used by Shen Bai with dark eyes, and said softly for a long time: "Don't go back, go see Uncle Guo." ”
The coachman answered, turned the carriage and continued out of the city.
Shen Bai went back to the Taifu Mansion to continue to recuperate, Wu Shouxin came to the Taifu Mansion to see Shen Bai again, this time he made a special trip to thank him, and he took a stack of silver tickets to Shen Bai very sincerely, and after a cursory look, there were thousands of taels.
It is really not a loss for the dignified Shangshu to buy a thousand taels to buy a peace of mind, Shen Bai accepted it as a matter of course, and reminded Wu Shouxin with it, Zhaoling will probably have some changes in the near future, and there are some things that cannot be put on the table, so it is better to do it cleanly.
Shen Bai said that the old god was there, but she had a calm and steady body beyond her age, which made people subconsciously convinced, Wu Shouxin told Xie to leave.
Three days later, Jing Zhaoyin posted a notice in the whole city that Gu Hengzhou, the prince of Zhenguo, would be responsible for escorting the return gift to Donghengguo, going back and forth for about two months, and coming back just in time to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet.
On the night when the notice was posted, the Praetorian Guards wearing black cloaks secretly entered the Taifu Mansion and lit up the golden order to inform the Taifu that there was an errand for Shen Bai to do, and no one else was allowed to know.
Shen Ruxiu's face was full of shock, and before he could digest the news, Shen Bai poked his head out with his burden on his back and asked with a smile: "Brothers, dare to ask if you are looking for me?" ”
Shen Ruxiu glared at Shen Bai, this rabbit cub had even packed up his baggage, he must have known about it a long time ago.
Shen Bai waved his hand in a particularly bad way: "Dad, don't stare at me, you will let me go out to study, if you are idle at home and have nothing to do and miss me, go to that vixen more, the little cub in her belly is afraid that she will give birth at the beginning of next year, if you don't go to get acquainted with it as soon as possible, be careful that the little cub will not recognize you in the future." ”
Shen Ruxiu was very angry, but with Jin Ling here, he didn't dare to ask anything, so he could only watch Shen Bai leave with that group of people.
Out of the Taifu Mansion, the horses had been prepared outside, Shen Bai neatly turned over on the horse, followed the group of people out of the city, along the official road all the way to the gallop, the second day when the sky was just dawning, the group arrived in Chenzhou, the leader of the person threw a bag of silver to Shen Bai, and ordered coldly: "Wait for the Xianyun Inn in the city, the master will arrive tomorrow!" ”
Shen Bai shook the silver in his hand and grinned: "There are a few people who lead the way, and we will have the opportunity to drink together in the future." ”
These are all dead soldiers who are loyal to Zhao Che, and they don't joke with Shen Bai, they turn around and leave.
Shen Bai waved his hand twice lazily, rode a horse into the city, walked around the city, and soon found the Xianyun Inn.
Xianyun Inn is the largest inn in Chenzhou, Shen Bai estimated that Zhao Che would not bring too many people, went in and asked for three upper rooms and two lower rooms, and then went to the city to look at the excitement, and did not come back until the evening, and just entered the house and heard a cold snort: "Where have you been?" Did the young master let you run around? ”
Following the prestige, Zhou Jue stood on the stairs in a light gray robe, looking at Shen Bai provocatively with his hands on his chest.
Zhou Jue's caftan is made of ordinary cloth, in addition to the expensive ornaments on weekdays, his hair is also tied up with a headband, and the nobility of his body has weakened a lot, but he is born white and his facial features are also handsome, so standing in the inn is also very eye-catching.
Shen Bai raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Why are you here?" ”
Zhou Jue was very proud, and said loudly: "I am the horseman specially arranged by the master for the young master, why can't I come?" ”
You don't look like a groom at all.
Shen Bai slandered, there were still many guests in the lobby, it was not a place to speak, step upstairs, Zhou Jue still had the eyesight, followed into the house, closed the door and began to teach Shen Bai: "You are really bold enough, you dare to instigate the palace ......"
This is not Hanjing, you can't talk casually when you close the door, Shen Bai glanced at Zhou Jue, Zhou Jue also realized that he had lost his words, and immediately changed his words: "Instigating the young master to go far away, aren't you afraid that the master will beat you?" ”
Since Shen Bai dared to do it, he had nothing to be afraid of, and deliberately provoked Zhou Jue: "If you are afraid, go back, don't drag the young master back then." ”
Zhou Jue instantly exploded and glared at Shen Bai: "My martial arts cultivation is much stronger than you, you are the one who is holding back." ”
Shen Bai poured himself a cup of cold tea to drink, and said faintly: "Being brave and resourceless is a reckless man, and no matter how good his skills are, he is just a coolie." ”
"You!"
Zhou Jue was not convinced, and was about to refute, Shen Bai pointed out a few points sharply: "No groom will dress like you, people who work all year round have a completely different mental state, if you don't understand, go to the stable in the backyard of the inn to see what the grooms of those caravans are like." ”
Knowing that he was going to go out on patrol with Zhao Che as a groom, Zhou Jue also deliberately dressed up, and when he heard Shen Bai say this, his self-esteem was a little frustrated, but fortunately, he was still able to carry it in front of the big right and wrong, and after looking at Shen Bai for a while, he snorted coldly and went downstairs with his neck.
Shen Bai smiled, and he had to admire in his heart, Zhou Jue's courage to accept other people's suggestions is extremely rare among young people of this age, and it is no wonder that he was able to mix well in the court in the previous life.
Shen Bai was very surprised that Zhao Che would let Zhou Jue accompany him, in the last life, Zhou Jue took refuge in Jiang De'an, and the two fought against each other in the court for more than ten years, although they didn't really hurt each other, but Zhou Jue did a lot of things for Jiang De'an and harmed many people.
In this life, Zhou Deshan was not killed, but Shen Bai was not sure whether Zhou Jue would stand on the opposite side of him because of other changes.
She and Zhou Jue's temperament is actually very similar, she looks very arrogant in her performance, she doesn't care about anything, in fact, she has a pole in her heart, they are both righteous and evil, they don't have the unswerving loyalty and patriotic ambition like Gu Hengzhou, they only care about whether the people they care about are doing well.
The two rested at the inn for a night, and on the second day, Zhou Jue changed the long shirt to a coarse cloth short, and he didn't know what was wiped on his face, which looked much darker than usual, and he also got a pair of cloth shoes with a lot of worn thousand-layer soles on his feet, which was two more rough, but it was really similar to a groom.
Shen Bai wanted to laugh a little, and Zhou Jue glanced at her: "What are you looking at?" ”
The voice was also deliberately low, disguised in all aspects, Shen Bai smiled and shook his head: "No, you are so good, the young master will definitely praise you when he sees it." ”
Zhou Jue raised his chin high, like a brightly colored rooster, and said proudly: "Of course." After speaking, he looked at Shen Bai suspiciously, "Why haven't you changed anything?" ”
Shen Bai spread his hands: "I don't know, but I have a big bag of money here, and the young master should promote me to be a manager." ”
Charge?
Zhou Jue was a little reluctant to believe that he was a horseman, if Shen Bai was in charge, wouldn't he have to listen to Shen Bai's call?
In the evening, Zhao Che came with three people riding horses, all three of them were dressed in the same coarse cloth as Zhou Jue, carrying a bulging burden on their backs, but the movements of turning over and dismounting were very neat.
Zhao Che is wearing an ordinary dark brocade robe, with a large piece of copper coin dark lines embroidered on the clothes, a string of exquisite dice and a copper coin-shaped amber hanging around his waist, his black hair is erected with a white jade crown of dozens of taels, and there is a dark gold pearl on his forehead to wipe his forehead.
Shen Bai and Zhou Jue were sitting in the lobby in a daze bored, and as soon as they saw Zhao Che, Shen Bai immediately stepped forward: "Young master, you are here, this journey has been hard." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Che to speak, he immediately turned his head and shouted at the guy who ran away: "Little Er, hurry up and bring up all the good wine and food in your store, I can't spare you if you're hungry young master!" ”
Shen Bai interpreted the three words of dog legs to the fullest, Zhao Che gave the three of them a look, and the three of them immediately went to the backyard to put things, Zhou Jue stood up and shouted the young master innocently, Zhao Che glanced at him, walked to the table and sat down.
Shen Bai immediately wiped the table and poured tea, and saw that Zhou Jue had been pestle beside him, and knocked his arm: "What are you doing here, why don't you go to the backyard to feed the horses and wait for the young master to arrange work for you?" ”
There was nothing wrong with what Shen Bai said, but his tone was too flattering and natural, which made Zhou Jue a little unhappy, and he secretly glanced at Shen Bai before turning around and going to the backyard.
Although Xianyun Inn is the best teahouse in Chenzhou, the tea used for hospitality is not very good, Zhao Che did not drink the cup of tea poured by Shen Bai, and after a while, a guard sent a pot of freshly brewed hot tea with a tray.
The tray is mahogany, with exquisite carvings on it, the tea is a good dragon well, and the tea set is white and shiny, and it is a lot higher than the inn at a glance.
It's really expensive.
Shen Bai muttered in his heart, moved the tea set of the inn to the table next to him to make room, and then poured a new cup of tea, Zhao Che raised his hand and took a sip of the teacup.
Shen Bai bent his waist and tried his best to play the role of a little maid, and asked: "It is estimated that it will take a while for the food to be good, should the young master bathe or eat first?" ”
Zhao Che twisted his eyebrows: "Just eat here?" ”
There were guests coming and going in the lobby, all kinds of voices were noisy, most of them were businessmen coming and going, their words were vulgar, Zhao Che was very disgusted, Shen Bai sat next to him, leaned closer and whispered: "Young master, didn't you come out to experience the customs of various places, what's the point of sitting in the house and eating?" ”
Zhao Che looked at Shen Bai coldly: "This ...... The young master asked you to sit down? ”
Before Zhao Che could get used to it, he almost wanted to talk about the palace, Shen Bai stood up, smiled shyly and wiped the place he had just sat on with his sleeve: "Young master, is this okay?" ”
Zhao Che's jaw tightened, and he didn't say anything after all, and was willing to eat in the lobby.
There were six people in a group, Zhao Che sat at a table alone, Zhou Jue and the other three people sat at a table, and there was no one else, so Shen Bai could only help Zhao Che with dishes on the side.
The dishes she sandwiched were all in line with Zhao Che's taste, and the speed of the cloth dishes was just right, Zhao Che raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and his eyebrows finally relaxed a little.
On the first day out of the palace, Zhao Che's appetite was not very good, and he couldn't eat every dish after tasting it.
Shen Bai immediately beckoned Xiao Er to send hot water upstairs, personally took Zhao Che upstairs, and when Zhao Che entered the house, he wanted to retreat, but was called by Zhao Che: "Where are you going?" ”
Shen Bai stopped, turned around and said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, I'm ...... Haven't eaten yet. ”
Zhao Che calmly reminded: "Young Master Ben hasn't bathed yet. ”
Zhao Chegui is the crown prince, so naturally he has been served by palace people since he was a child, not to mention taking a bath, even when he wears shoes, someone kneels on the ground to help him hold his shoes.
Shen Bai chuckled in her heart, she could persuade Zhao Che to sit in the lobby to eat, but she didn't have the courage to let Zhao Che take a bath by herself, and asked tentatively: "Young master, I haven't eaten yet, I'll go down and ask someone to come up and serve you?" ”
Zhao Che stared at Shen Bai without speaking, obviously not wanting to wait.
Shen Bai's face was a little hot, she originally felt that she was no different from the old men except that she didn't have that skill, since she and Gu Hengzhou had done that kind of thing in the lieutenant camp that day, her face had become a little thinner, and she was about to wait for Zhao Che to take a bath at this time, and she couldn't accept it in her heart.
Shen Bai had been stunned there, Zhao Che was a little impatient to wait, and urged in a cold voice: "What, what are you hiding from unspeakable?" ”
Shen Bai shook his head like a rattle, and said vigorously: "No, no, being able to serve the young master to take a bath is a blessing that has been cultivated by a few generations!" ”
Anyway, it was Zhao Che who took off her clothes, not her, she had a long needle eye at most, and there was nothing to lose.
As he spoke, Shen Bai closed the door, Zhao Che spread his hands, and waited generously for Shen Bai to come over and help him undress.
In addition to the belt jacket and then the middle coat removed, Shen Bai unexpectedly raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Che was born the whitest among the four princes, Shen Bai thought that he should be about the same as himself in terms of pampering on weekdays, but he didn't expect to find that after taking off his clothes, he found that his figure was not bad, his shoulders and back were broad, his chest was broad, his waist and abdomen were also firm and powerful, and the shape of muscle blocks was vaguely visible, although it was a little worse than Gu Hengzhou, but it was already very good.
Shen Bai could see that he forgot to restrain himself for a while, and his eyes were a little presumptuous.
After a while, Zhao Che asked coldly, "Have you seen enough?" ”
Raising his head and facing a pair of cold and deep eyes, Shen Bai hurriedly gathered his thoughts and lowered his head to untie his underwear.
The pants were loose, only tied with a thin belt, and as soon as the rope was untied, the pants slipped to his feet, Shen Bai squatted down and whispered: "I'm tired of the young master raising your noble feet." ”
Zhao Che raised his feet, Shen Bai took his pants and put them on the shelf next to him, there was a sound of water behind him, and Zhao Che sat in the barrel by himself.
Shen Bai rolled up his sleeves and picked up the handkerchief next to him and walked behind Zhao Che, and was about to help Zhao Che rub his back, Zhao Che asked, "No aromatherapy?" ”
Shen Bai rolled his eyes: "Young master, although Chenzhou is not far from Hanjing, the business is not as developed as Hanjing, and things like aromatherapy are all bought by the big families here on behalf of people to Hanjing, and now there are only soaphorns here, do you use them?" ”
Zhao Che frowned, he had never bathed in something as rough as soap.
Shen Bai knew that he was very delicate, and he was afraid that he would blame himself for not thinking about it for a while, so he praised him vigorously: Young master, Chen Zhou's soaphorn is very good, it has a natural fragrance, and it is very capable of decontamination, plus my unique method of scrubbing the bath, I guarantee that after washing, the young master will be comfortable and refreshed, do you want to try it? ”
His clothes were all taken off, and he couldn't wait for someone to go back to Hanjing to get incense.
Zhao Che stiffened his face and didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence, Shen Bai shouted, picked up the soap corner next to him and wiped it on him.
The soaphorn itself does have its own fragrance, and the body foams and becomes slippery, and the injury on Shen Bai's hand is not completely healed, and he can clearly feel the fingertip gauze swimming on his body after being soaked.
Zhao Che didn't speak again, leaning on the edge of the barrel and letting Shen Bai rub his back.
Although Shen Bai's skills are not very good, the strength of the bath is more than enough, and it is indeed much more comfortable than the palace lady who is serving in the palace, and Zhao Che quickly enjoys it.
After rubbing his back hard, Shen Bai went around to the front, panting and said to Zhao Che: "Young master, it's time to rub the front." ”
Shen Bai rubbed very hard, and in just a while, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the tip of his nose, and his little face was a little red.
The two sleeves are rolled high, the thin arms are exposed, not even half the size of Zhao Che's arms, and they are very white and tender, after being soaked in hot water, they show a bloodshot pink, hot and steaming out, and the soft fluff obediently sticks to the skin, which is inexplicably a little cute.
Shen Bai raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, opened his mouth and panted slightly, Zhao Che found that her lips were very red, her lower lip was full, and her upper lip had beautiful lip beads, like ripe pomegranates, which were quite moist and beautiful.
Zhao Che changed his posture and leaned back against the barrel, put his hands on the edge of the barrel, Shen Bai leaned over and carefully helped him apply the soaphorns, getting closer, there was a wet and soft breath sprayed on his chest, arousing a subtle itch, the itch seeped into the skin and drilled straight into the heart, Zhao Che felt a little tightness in his throat.
Shen Bai focused on the errand of scrubbing the bath and didn't notice it.
Zhao Che's Adam's apple rolled up and down, Shen Bai's stomach suddenly rumbled twice, Zhao Che lowered his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were dyed with coldness, and he said coldly: "Put down the things, go out!" ”
Shen Bai immediately shook his head to show his loyalty: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay if you don't eat this meal, you can't let the young master be wronged!" ”
Who won't let you eat? Just know to exaggerate.
Zhao Che glanced at Shen Bai lightly: "You really don't want to go out?" ”
Sensing the smell of danger keenly, Shen Bai immediately put down his handkerchief, rolled down his sleeves and stood straight: "Young Master Xie is considerate, the little one will come up and serve the young master immediately after eating!" ”
Zhao Che closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to listen to her nonsense anymore, Shen Bai exited the room, carefully closed the door, and then rushed downstairs.
Zhao Che's almost untouched meal was brought to their table by Zhou Jue, Shen Bai ran to Zhou Jue's side, forced out a position, and complained in a low voice: "I haven't eaten yet, why don't you know how to wait for me?" ”
Zhou Jue's position was instantly squeezed by half, and he deliberately scolded Shen Bai: "I thought that being in charge was a comfortable errand, but I didn't expect that I was not as comfortable as a groom." ”
Shen Bai beckoned the guy to add a pair of chopsticks to himself, snatched Zhou Jue's chopsticks and sandwiched two crispy peanuts upside down, and replied: "What do you mean by this is that serving the young master is a chore?" ”
When the words fell, Zhao Che brought the three dead soldiers and immediately raised his eyes to look at Zhou Jue, Zhou Jue's face froze, snatched back the chopsticks from Shen Bai's hand, and snorted coldly: "I warn you, don't talk nonsense and deliberately provoke trouble, I am loyal to the young master, and I will never complain." ”
Shen Bai raised his eyebrows perfunctorily: "Oh." ”
Zhou Jue was so angry that he wanted to put the bowl in his hand on Shen Bai's face.
After the two finished eating, Shen Bai fooled Zhou Jue to sleep in two rooms with the three dead soldiers, went upstairs under the pretext of serving Zhao Che, knocked on the door and entered the house, Zhao Che had already changed into clean clothes, Shen Bai beckoned the man to carry the dirty water down, and threw the clothes that Zhao Che changed to a dead man to wash.
After doing this, it was almost time to go upstairs, Zhao Che didn't let Shen Bai enter the house to wait, Shen Bai was happy and went back to his room.
The gauze on his hands was wet, Shen Bai cut it all with scissors, and gave himself medicine, the room was a little stuffy, and when he opened the window, he saw two black-clothed people lying on the roof opposite the inn.
She knew that the prince of a country would never bring only three people when he went on patrol.
It is reassuring that someone is guarding, Shen Bai simply opened the window and lay down on the bed with his clothes.
She slept a little too much in the past two days, she couldn't sleep a little, silently calculated the itinerary in her heart, according to the edict, Gu Hengzhou would take the Praetorian Guards to return the gift early the day after tomorrow, the carriages and horses were slower than the horses, and they would not arrive in Chenzhou until tomorrow night at the earliest.
Rest overnight in Chenzhou, exit from Muzhou into Donghengguo, and go to Hengyang, the capital of Donghengguo, in the twilight of Donghengguo, this is the best route for Zhaoling to return the gift to Donghengguo over the years, although the distance is not the closest, but the bandits that may be encountered along the way are the least and the safest.
However, with Zhao Che this year, it may not be necessary, at least the person who designed to murder Zhou Deshan before should not be able to sit still and want to take the opportunity to do something.
Zhao Che's exit from the palace is a top secret, except for a few people in the palace, only a few people in the palace know, if they do it in Zhaoling, it is easy to arouse suspicion, the best way is to wait for them to enter the border of Dongheng Kingdom before doing it, so that they can push the blame to the bandits of Dongheng Kingdom, and maybe they can take the opportunity to make a benefit from Dongheng Kingdom.
Shen Bai crackled and made a small abacus, and he didn't fall asleep in a daze until the second half of the night.
On the second day, Shen Bai got up early in the morning, all kinds of soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally persuaded Zhao Che to go around Chenzhou City, so that Zhou Jue drove the carriage, although Zhou Jue didn't want to listen to Shen Bai, but it was also the first time to go out of Beijing, and he couldn't stop being curious, glared at Shen Bai twice and went to the backyard to lead the carriage.
Chenzhou City is not as big as Hanjing, but there are many vendors selling and shouting on both sides, and it is very lively all the way, Shen Bai has been lifting the curtain to look east and west, although Zhao Che did not speak, there was a gentle and bright light in his eyes.
This is the country laid by his ancestors, which is still prosperous for hundreds of years, and before long, the country is his, and the people are also his, and he is confident that he will do better than his ancestors.
Strolling until noon, Shen Bai pouted the two of them to eat wontons on the side of the road, the lively market gradually dispersed, and the street became deserted.
Shen Bai and Zhou Jue were a little curious, thinking that something was happening on the street, but they didn't expect that the team of officials came for them.
Zhou Jue subconsciously got up and blocked in front of Zhao Che, Shen Bai and Zhao Che both sat still, and the team of officials poured into the wonton shop, crowding the shop to the brim, and then getting out of the way, a person wearing a black official uniform and a gold-piercing knife walked in.
doesn't even have a black gauze hat, at most he is a head of a household on an errand in the state capital, if it is placed on weekdays, let alone Zhao Che, he is not qualified to talk to Shen Bai and Zhou Jue.
The head of the household directly skipped Zhou Jue when he entered the door, glanced at Shen Bai, his eyes fell on Zhao Che, and asked angrily: "The carriage is yours?" ”
Zhou Jue had never seen someone who spoke so badly, and immediately replied with a bad temper: "Is it our carriage, don't you yourself have long eyes and can't see?" ”
The head of the household saw that Zhao Che was handsome and well-dressed, and he wanted to find out, but when he heard Zhou Jue say this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded sharply: "Who let you drive a carriage to the street?" Don't you see the notice posted on the street, in recent days, no one is allowed to travel by car or horse, you are knowingly committing a crime! ”
Zhou Deshan had a violent temper and had never spoken to Zhou Jue like this, Zhou Jue was suddenly angry, and was about to scold, Shen Bai smiled and took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the head of the household, and said: "This official, I only studied here with our young master yesterday, and I haven't had time to see any notices, I don't know what happened, and I ask the official to dissipate his anger, don't be like us." ”
Shen Bai lowered his posture very low, and the head of the household benefited again, his expression softened, glanced at Zhou Jue, put the silver into his arms, and said coldly: "In the past few days, the prince of Zhenguo will personally escort the return gift to Donghengguo, and the lord of the state capital has an order, and there shall be no carriages and horses on the street, so as not to disturb His Royal Highness the prince's dignity, seeing that you are also a first-time offender, you don't need to be in prison, pay one hundred taels of silver as punishment." ”
Shen Bai smiled gently: "Listen to the official's meaning, if we can't hand over this hundred taels of silver, you will arrest us and go to prison?" ”
