The collar of the middle coat was half removed, and Gu Hengzhou's fingertips could already directly touch the small piece of skin on Shen Bai's neck.

Shen Bai's hairs stood upside down, but his hands and feet were tightly controlled, and he couldn't break free at all.

Although Miao Ruoxi said that it would take four or five days for Gu Hengzhou to fully return to normal, his self-control was far greater than ordinary people, if Miao Ruoxi made a mistake in judgment, he would wake up at this time and find that Shen Bai was a daughter, I am afraid that he would not help her hide it, and he would selflessly stab Zhao Che directly in front of her to accuse her of a crime of bullying.

Shen Bai didn't dare to be careless, he gave up struggling, looked at Gu Hengzhou with tears in his eyes and said with a sad face: "Brother Gu, I am pleased with you, don't say you want to see this body, you just want to do something else, I am also very willing, but can I ask Brother Gu a word before doing these things?" ”

Gu Hengzhou was about to open the collar of Shen Bai's underwear, when he heard her words, his fingertips paused, and his scarlet eyes flashed quickly and dazedly, as if he didn't understand why Shen Bai was talking like this.

Shen Bai took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Gu, do you like me?" ”

As if he was burned by fire, Gu Hengzhou withdrew his hand all of a sudden, but he still grabbed Shen Bai and didn't let go, staring at her directly, like a wolf, he finally took back a rabbit, obviously hungry, and suddenly didn't know how to bite it.

This question is so important in Brother Gu's heart?

Shen Bai's eyes blinked, he deliberately twisted his waist, and the girl in the building deliberately gasped for breath, and asked sadly: "If Brother Gu doesn't like me, why do you want to be greedy for my body?" Don't you really want to eat me raw? ”

Shen Bai's waist is twisted not like a girl at all, she is hard, she lives like a big worm, and her voice is not flattering, but she has a nasal voice and is a little aggrieved.

Gu Hengzhou's brows were furrowed, his expression was a little painful, and he was troubled by the question of whether he liked her or not.

Shen Bai's mood also became complicated, you said he didn't like it, he had to think about it for so long, you said he liked it, and he couldn't give a positive answer after thinking about it for so long.

Gu Hengzhou's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became more and more, looking like he was in great pain, Shen Bai was reluctant to see him like this, and was about to divert the topic, Gu Hengzhou suddenly let go, his eyes closed and pressed heavily on Shen Bai, and he fainted directly.

Shen Bai was smashed and coughed twice, feeling his unusual body temperature, he was shocked, and hurriedly pushed him away, helped him cover the quilt and then dressed to find Miao Ruoxi.

On the way, he told Miao Ruoxi that Gu Hengzhou suddenly lost control again, and even she didn't know her, Miao Ruoxi also felt a little strange, followed Shen Bai over, checked the pulse and carefully checked the injury on the back of Gu Hengzhou's head, and then said to Shen Bai: "His Royal Highness the Prince was poisoned and his physique was weakened, and now he is injured again, it should be that you were infected with wind and cold last night, and he will be affected by the residual toxins in his body at will." ”

Shen Bai asked, "Then what should I do now?" Can I give Brother Gu the medicine to ward off the cold? ”

Miao Ruoxi shook his head: "At this time, drinking other medicines will affect detoxification, His Royal Highness the Prince is very strong, and it will be good to wait for the fever to subside tomorrow." ”

Shen Bai nodded, and then patted his head and said to Miao Ruoxi: "It's better to bother the fifth princess to prescribe me a recipe to ward off the cold, if I infect Brother Gu with the wind and cold again, it will not be good." ”

Miao Ruoxi said: "I have also been drinking cold medicine for the past two days, if Brother Shen doesn't mind, I can heat a bowl for you." ”

Shen Bai thanked him and walked to the kitchen with Miao Ruoxi.

She took off the red wedding dress and changed into the short shirt and long skirt worn by ordinary girls in the twilight city, although it was a short shirt, the sleeves were very long, revealing only a thin white and soft waist, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

Shen Bai only glanced at it hurriedly and then lowered his eyes and looked away, although he knew that many things in this life were different from the previous life, in the face of Miao Ruoxi's face, Shen Bai still subconsciously respected her as the mother of Zhaoling.

The two soon arrived in the kitchen, and after finding the medicine stove, Shen Bai immediately took the initiative to light a fire and didn't let Miao Ruoxi do it.

Miao Ruoxi stood by and watched her busy work, and after a while, she said softly, "Brother Shen, you are very different from other men in Zhaoling. ”

Miao Ruoxi's tone sounded a little lonely, she was the fifth princess of Dongheng Kingdom, but she was sent to Dukesha as a tool to hide drugs, but I was afraid that the situation in Dongheng Country was not as good as those princesses in Zhaoling.

Miao Ruoxi should have wanted to find someone to talk to, Shen Bai puffed out his cheeks to make the fire, took off his coat and spread it on the steps for Miao Ruoxi to sit, and he sat down cross-legged directly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why does the princess think that I am different from other men?" ”

Because of Shen Bai's intimate actions, Miao Ruoxi's eyebrows were dyed with a faint smile, and she said lightly: "I heard that the defense of men and women in Zhaoling is very strict, women must wear veils when they go out, and they can't show their skin at will. ”

Shen Bai hurriedly said: "I don't look at the princess, not because the princess is not good-looking, but the princess is too noble and good-looking, I don't dare to blaspheme easily." ”

Shen Bai coaxed the girl to get used to it, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she praised it, Miao Ruoxi smiled even more in her eyes, and didn't take Shen Bai's words seriously, looking at the dancing flames in the stove and whispering: "The difference between Brother Shen is that you are a rare person in the world who can respect women. ”

Shen Bai had heard similar words many times from the mouths of those Hualou girls.

This is the case in this world, because women are naturally weaker than men, and they have always been regarded as men's accessories, living by their snorts, and men with a little money can treat women as playthings, even if they are ordinary people, they can beat and scold their wives at will if they are in a bad mood.

When she first entered the city, she saw that the girls in the city were all vivid and dazzling, and Shen Bai thought that Dongheng's national style was open, and the status of women would be relatively higher, but now it seems that it is not as simple as she imagined.

Shen Bai remembered the previous sacrifice in the city at dusk, the bell rang, and all the people who were summoned were women, and couldn't help but ask: "Fifth princess, do you Dongheng Kingdom have a tradition of sacrifice everywhere?" ”

Miao Ruoxi nodded: "We believe in the gods, and we believe that as long as we are sincere enough, we can move the gods and make us have a smooth ride." ”

This is nothing special, Zhaoling also believes in the gods, like the last autumn hunt, Emperor Hengde also has to sacrifice to the sky.

A thought gradually became clear in Shen Bai's heart, Shen Bai hesitated for a while, and asked cautiously: "Fifth princess, in addition to livestock, are there women in the sacrifices you choose for sacrifices in various places?" ”

Miao Ruoxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, just like when Chunying was asked about the sacrifice before, her expression obviously flashed panic.

No longer needed other words, Shen Bai knew that he had guessed correctly.

In the Eastern Heng Kingdom, the inequality of the status of men and women is greater than that of Zhaoling, and once any disaster occurs, only women are sacrificed.

In the eyes of men in this country, women have the same status as livestock!

Xu is because he was originally a daughter, and Shen Bai's chest swelled with nameless anger and heartache, heartache In the torrent of time in the hundred years of Donghengguo, countless girls who lived as frankly and enthusiastically as Chunying, but were sacrificed their lives.

They are living people, and their lives should not have ended so short and tragically!

Miao Ruoxi's appearance fell in Shen Bai's eyes, and she was suddenly much thinner and fragile, no longer the queen of the world in her memory, just a little girl of sixteen or seventeen.

Shen Bai shook his head, raised his hand and gently patted Miao Ruoxi's head: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this world will be fine." ”

No one has ever treated herself like this, Miao Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked at Shen Bai expectantly: "Can you change the way of the world?" ”

She was like a person walking in the dark, trying her best to catch a little spark.

Shen Bai didn't want to lie to her, so he could only say truthfully: "I don't know if I can change this world, but I want to change it." ”

The light in Miao Ruoxi's eyes went out, her eyes were lowered in frustration, and she even wanted to laugh at the question she had just asked, how could she believe that anyone could change the way of the world by herself?

However, as soon as this thought emerged, Miao Ruoxi's hand was grabbed by Shen Bai, this young man's eyes were clear, bright as sparks, and he said to her with great firmness: "I am not the only one who wants to change this world, there are many people who have the same idea, this twilight ceremony was almost slaughtered, before the matter is over, can you imagine that these thousands of people in the city can survive?" ”

Shen Bai's hands were warm, and her tone was full of hope, as if no matter what difficulties she encountered, she could move forward firmly.

The heart was touched fiercely, Miao Ruoxi's eyes were red, and Shen Bai continued: "People always have to live with hope, otherwise they will be no different from the walking dead, is the princess right?" ”

Miao Ruoxi was about to nod, Shen Bai let go of her hand, grinned, lost half of the seriousness of the talent, and said easily: "But my hope is not to change the way of the world, but to let the person I like be safe and worry-free, if the princess has someone she likes, she must let him know her mind as soon as possible, especially those who take the world as their own responsibility, and know how to have fun in time." ”

Shen Bai's words were extremely transparent and free, Miao Ruoxi was thoughtful, and asked after a while: "The person you like is your Royal Highness?" ”

The medicine in the stove was sluggling, Shen Bai opened the lid with a wet handkerchief, nodded unabashedly, and smug on his face: "How is it, my vision is very good, right?" This is the youngest and most promising offspring of our Zhaoling. ”

Although she was mentally prepared, Miao Ruoxi was still shocked by Shen Bai's honesty: "But you are all men. ”

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows: "What's this?" I didn't force him to like me, can't I like him anymore? ”

Miao Ruoxi: "......"

This logic seems unassailable.

Shen Bai gave himself a big bowl of medicine, this medicine smelled similar to Zhaoling's ordinary cold warding prescription, Shen Bai's face wrinkled into a bun, puffed out his cheeks to blow the medicine cold, and silently recited in his heart, "It's all for Brother Gu", pinched his nose and drank all the medicine in one go.

This medicine is still a little spicy, Shen Bai stuck out his tongue, Miao Ruoxi suppressed his surprise, thought for a moment and said to Shen Bai: "Do you still want to check the identities of those sacrificial elders after you return from Hengyang?" ”

Shen Bai brought the medicine stove to the side and said without thinking: "Of course you have to investigate, this incident almost destroyed a city and killed thousands of people, if you don't find out the reason, it is difficult to guarantee that such a tragedy will not recur in the future." ”

Miao Ruoxi had already guessed that Shen Bai and Zhao Che were not ordinary people, and Shen Bai's words just now touched her a lot, Miao Ruoxi asked tentatively: "Will you avenge the dead people?" ”

It was obvious that she knew something else.

Shen Bai put away his expression and promised Miao Ruoxi seriously: "If they really have grievances, I promise with my life that I will redress their grievances and pay tribute to their dead!" ”

is obviously only a fourteen-fifteen or fifteen-year-old young man, and his voice is gentle and gentle, but it is unexpectedly convincing.

Miao Ruoxi no longer doubted, and said to Shen Bai in a low voice: "The reason why I was sent here by the Lord Monarch is because five years ago, Dukesha held a festival in the city that caused a sensation in the entire Dongheng Kingdom. ”

Five years ago, there was a sensational sacrifice in the twilight ceremony, but I didn't hear a little wind in Zhaoling, why?

This question immediately popped up in Shen Bai's mind, she pursed her lips and didn't speak, waiting patiently, Miao Ruoxi took a deep breath and continued: "For that sacrifice, he used twenty pregnant women. ”

Airplanes!

The strings in Shen Bai's head snapped, his hand shook, and the bowl fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound, Zhou Jue suddenly came out from behind, looked at Miao Ruoxi angrily and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Miao Ruoxi was taken aback, Shen Bai raised his hand to stop Zhou Jue, and looked at Miao Ruoxi seriously: "Those twenty women are from Zhaoling?" ”

Miao Ruoxi shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, it's not a person from Dusk City, the matter spread to Hengyang, the lord was very angry, and ordered Dusk Kesha to go to Hengyang to complain, but Dusk Kesha directly ignored it, and the lord knew that he had a rebellion, so he planned this time." ”

Twenty women, if they are not from Dongheng Kingdom, then they must be from Zhaoling.

Even if the Dusk Kesha is strong in martial arts and acts strictly without being discovered, it is not a trivial matter that twenty pregnant women are missing, and if it happened in Muzhou, why did no one report it to the imperial court at that time?

Shen Bai and Zhou Jue were not fools, and the two of them quickly thought that someone had concealed this matter, and their faces became solemn.

Afraid of causing a contradiction between the two countries, Miao Ruoxi explained again: "The lord is very angry about this matter, and he didn't know that Dusk Kesha would do such a thing. ”

Zhou Jue was anxious, and replied with a sneer: "Then why didn't he send someone to send a letter to Zhaoling in the future?" Just hide it directly, and let Twilight Kesha continue to do nonsense? ”

Zhou Jue's tone was not good, and he regarded Miao Ruoxi as an enemy, and Shen Bai stepped on him fiercely: "The princess is kindly giving us clues, don't you kneel down and thank the princess?" ”

Zhou Jue glared at Shen Bai unconvinced, and Shen Bai's eyes were bigger than him: "What?" How dare you murder a princess with a broken horseman? ”

Zhou Jue fried his hair: "You call me to break the horseman again?" ”

Zhou Jue pointed at Shen Bai with his finger, his fingertips couldn't wait to poke Shen Bai's face, Shen Bai raised his eyebrows and looked behind Zhou Jue and shouted happily: "Brother Gu!" ”

Zhou Jue turned his head vigilantly, and his hands were subconsciously raised in a defensive posture, for fear that Gu Hengzhou would suddenly come out and beat him violently.

It's still so easy to be deceived.

Shen Bai hooked his lips, kicked Zhou Jue's knee, made him kneel on one knee in front of Miao Ruoxi, and then pressed his shoulders to prevent him from standing up, and smiled apologetically at Miao Ruoxi: "This groom can't speak, he bumped into the princess, and please don't blame the princess, I will teach him a good lesson for the princess when I go back." ”

Miao Ruoxi is not a person who is unforgiving, she shook her head and said softly: "There is no need to be like this, Brother Shen is also a life-saving grace to me, if I can help a little, it can be regarded as my repayment." ”

Shen Bai turned cold, and smiled warmly: "Her Royal Highness the princess has helped us a lot this time!" ”

Talking to Shen Bai is easy to make people feel better, Miao Ruoxi bowed back, went back to the room by himself, Shen Bai took Zhou Jue to find Zhao Che, and repeated what Miao Ruoxi had just said.

Zhao Che's expression was the same solemn as theirs, Zhou Jue heard such a tragic thing for the first time, he really couldn't suppress his temper, knelt in front of Zhao Che and said: "Young master, twenty pregnant women, that is forty lives, the magistrate of Muzhou must have deliberately concealed it and did not report it, his subordinates implore the young master to return to Muzhou immediately to investigate this matter thoroughly, and give justice to the woman who died in vain and the child in her womb!" ”

Zhou Jue is still a teenager, and when he heard that there was an injustice, he wanted to solve it immediately, but Zhao Che did not answer immediately, and looked at Shen Bai with heavy eyes.

The gaze is like the sun at noon on a summer day, scorching and scorching.

Shen Bai knelt down next to Zhao Che, his hands folded and raised above his head: "I don't think it's wise for the young master to go back now. ”

Zhou Jue turned his head and glared at Shen Bai viciously: "Just now, you swore to the princess with your life that you would redress those people's grievances, do you want to talk or not?" ”

Shen Bai didn't look at Zhou Jue, but only looked at Zhao Che calmly: "The young master's mobilization of troops and horses from Muzhou must have caused a lot of sensation in Muzhou, but everyone who is related to this matter will be vigilant, and now that they have been startled, I am afraid that many clues will not be found, since this is the case, I might as well give them more time, and when they come back from Hengyang, they will relax their vigilance, and it is better to kill them by surprise." ”

Zhou Jue snorted coldly: "You said it lightly, what if the official who was responsible for concealing it committed suicide in fear of crime, wouldn't it be that there was no proof of death?" ”

Shen Bai hooked his lips, and his eyes condensed into a cold and piercing ice edge: "Zhaoling mountains and rivers are thousands of miles, and the officials involved in the case can survive by casually finding a poor country with their family wealth, if he dies suddenly, it can only mean that the official rank of the person who knows about this matter is still above the dead official, as long as the young master wants to check, there are naturally only a lot more things that can be found." ”

Zhou Jue was dumbfounded, it turned out that this kid from the Shen family didn't want to leave time for those people in Muzhou to kill people, but wanted them to show their feet so that they could check all the way up.

If it is the county official who dies, the state government must know, and if it is the state government that dies, someone in Hanshang Jingzhong must know.

If someone in Han Shangjing knew about it, but deliberately concealed it and did not report it to His Majesty......

Zhou Jue didn't dare to continue to think about it, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, Zhao Che's eyebrows were cold, he glanced at the two of them, and said lightly: "Don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, go down." ”

Shen Bai and Zhou Jue exited the room, and Zhao Che got up and walked to the table.

This is the main courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhao Che asked people to simply clean the study and move in.

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table were brought by themselves, Zhao Che thought about what had happened recently, and he did his own ink, Muzhou and Hanjing were only separated by a Chenzhou, and the distance was not far or close.

Muzhou is rich in tea, there are several mines, other products are not rich, unlike the three states of Huainan, every year is either drought or flood, or snow disaster, the ministers of the DPRK and China can be anxious every year for disaster relief, Muzhou's presence in the DPRK is too low, so that most people forget that Muzhou and Donghengguo are only separated by a Zhaonan Mountain, and some small incidents are easy to occur between the borders.

If he hadn't transferred troops from Muzhou this time and had blown up Hengrou Mountain, the entire Dusk City and Nanheng Plank Road would have been destroyed today.

Nanheng plank road is through the efforts of three generations of emperors of Zhaoling, ordered tens of thousands of craftsmen to dig out a road on the cliff, it is easy to burn down, and then it takes a lot of financial resources and manpower to open, not to mention, the diplomatic relations between Zhaoling and Dongheng must also start from scratch, and the loss behind it is unimaginable.

The more Zhao Che thought about it, the heavier his mood became, and after a long time, he finally made up his mind, and wrote on the paper: Rui Xuan asked his father to start in person, this trip has arrived in Dongheng twilight, there was a sudden accident in the city, and he was stranded for a few days, the situation was complicated, and it was difficult to speak, after returning to Beijing, Rui Xuan would personally explain the situation to his father, and Rui Xuan had a reluctant request here.

Writing this, Zhao Che put away his pen and stared at the words on the paper for a long time before putting pen to paper again: Please ask my father to send his henchmen to guard Hanjing strictly and intercept and investigate all the letters sent back to Hanjing by Muzhou!

Put the pen aside, and after the ink dried, Zhao Che folded the letter paper and packed it with letterhead, and then sealed it with wax to summon the dead man and ordered: "You take three people back to Beijing together, and this letter must be sent directly back to the palace and handed over to His Majesty to open it in person." ”

Only one person was sent all the way to deliver the letter before, and when he heard that he wanted to bring three more people by himself, the dead man glanced at Zhao Che in surprise, Zhao Che didn't explain too much, and said with a calm face: "Do what the palace says." ”

The dead man agreed, turned around to leave, and Zhao Che took a small bag of tea and handed it to him: "Send this to Uncle Guo and tell him that the tea mountains in Muzhou are beautiful." ”

The dead man took the tea leaves, turned around and quickly disappeared into the endless night.

Zhao Che stood by the window for a while, his mood was not a little relaxed, but heavy, and he was a little overwhelmed by the invisible haze.

Under the cover of Hanjing's prosperity, how many secrets are hidden that cannot see the light?

……

Shen Bai went back to Gu Hengzhou's room directly, Gu Hengzhou slept very deeply, and Shen Bai moved very lightly to help him change the medicine and rewrap the injuries on his head and the back of his hands.

What Miao Ruoxi said tonight had a great impact on her, Zhou Jue and Zhao Che, and after taking the medicine, Shen Bai directly climbed into bed and got into Gu Hengzhou's quilt to hug him from behind, greedily absorbing the warmth on his body.

When his body warmed up, Shen Bai leaned on Gu Hengzhou's shoulder and whispered, "Brother Gu, people's hearts are really terrifying." ”

Only a steady and long breath was in response to her, and Shen Bai didn't speak again, driving away the cluttered thoughts and forcing himself to fall asleep.

The medicine to ward off the cold has the effect of sleeping, plus Gu Hengzhou is asleep next to him, Shen Bai overslept again this night, and when he woke up, he was in a warm quilt, and there was a handsome young man lying next to him.

The young man's black hair is like splashing ink, his eyebrows are thick like a sharp edge flying obliquely into his sideburns, his nose is straight and proud, his eyes are bright and sharp like curved hooks, his two thin lips are ruddy and soft, his chin line is cold and hard, and down is a slender neck and sexy Adam's apple, and then down is ......

Shen Bai's gaze just moved down half an inch, and Gu Hengzhou said coldly: "Enough of it?" ”

Shen Bai hurriedly retracted his gaze, opened his eyes wide and shook his head innocently: "No, no, I just woke up, when did you wake up, Brother Gu?" ”

Gu Hengzhou lay on his side and looked at her, and said, "From the time you wrapped all the quilts away." ”

Shen Bai lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw that the quilt was all wrapped around him, Gu Hengzhou didn't know when he woke up, first put on a pair of pants for himself, and then lay here waiting for Shen Bai to wake up and confront him on the spot.

Shen Bai's old face was a little panicked, he hurriedly arched out of the quilt, reached out and touched Gu Hengzhou's forehead, the fever has subsided, no more burning,

The blood red at the bottom of his eyes also completely dissipated, and it was normal to hear him speak just now, Shen Bai asked tentatively, "Brother Gu, are you already awake?" ”

Gu Hengzhou twisted his eyebrows, not remembering when he was not sober, Shen Bai asked again: "Then Brother Gu, do you remember what has happened in the past few days?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't want to blurt out: "I killed Dusk Kesha, what about Your Highness?" ”

That is, I can't remember anything.

Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief, if he still remembered that he had lost his mind and almost killed Zhao Che, he was afraid that he would do such a thing as apologizing with death.

Shen Bai sat up and told Gu Hengzhou what had happened in the past few days, but deliberately skipped the fact that he almost killed Zhao Che and almost found out about his daughter last night.

The amount of information is a bit large, Gu Hengzhou's expression changed when he heard it, and he digested it silently for a while with a calm face, and then lifted his eyes to look at Shen Bai: "So who let you sleep in my room?" ”

Shen Bai was straightforward: "Her Royal Highness the princess said, Brother Gu, you will rely on me a lot these days, and I sleep here to take care of you and calm your emotions." ”

Gu Hengzhou raised his eyebrows: "Do you need to take off my clothes to appease your emotions?" ”

It was a little late to come back last night, Shen Bai was thinking about other things, so he forgot to change Gu Hengzhou's clothes, and when he was questioned at this time, Shen Bai was a little weak-hearted, but because Gu Hengzhou couldn't remember, Shen Bai stiffened his neck and said: "Brother Gu, this is not bad for me, you have to take off this clothes yourself." ”

Gu Hengzhou's eyebrows pulled out a small mountain, and Shen Bai immediately cited evidence: "Brother Gu, if you lose your mind, you will beat people at any time, if you don't want to, do I dare to forcibly take off your clothes?" ”

Gu Hengzhou's thin lips were pursed into a line, cold and sharp, and he was very puzzled that he would take the initiative to take off his clothes, Shen Bai found new fun, and deliberately did not tell Gu Hengzhou that he took off his clothes for taking a bath, and complained with a red face: "Brother Gu, you not only took off your own clothes, but also forcibly kissed others." ”

Shen Bai deliberately showed a shy, Gu Hengzhou's eyelids jumped, Shen Bai pursed his lips exaggeratedly, and showed him the bite scars on his lips: "Brother Gu, you bite much harder than me." ”

Gu Hengzhou: "......"

Gu Hengzhou's face was expressionless, his eyes moved away uncomfortably, he didn't dare to look at Shen Bai's eyes, but Shen Bai didn't give up, and pulled his collar open, revealing a circle of blood-red tooth marks on his neck.

The round of bites had not yet been treated, and the dried and blackened blood remained around the wound, a silent accusation.

Shen Bai said aggrievedly: "This is also what Brother Gu bites." ”

Gu Hengzhou coughed lightly, tried to keep his face calm and asked, "I still bite other people?" ”

"No, no" Shen Bai shook his head and said meaningfully, "I don't know why, Brother Gu, you only like to bite me, and you don't like to bite others." ”

Gu Hengzhou: "......"

The memory was blank, knowing that Shen Bai's words were not credible, Gu Hengzhou stopped talking nonsense with her, got up and prepared to get dressed, walked two steps and returned to the bed, threw Shen Bai out of the house directly, and then slammed the door.

Shen Bai sighed unsatisfactorily, and said that it would take four or five days, but it was only a little more than a day before he woke up, and he turned his face directly after waking up and didn't recognize people, how heartless and sad it was.

Shen Bai sat at the door and sighed, and after a while, Gu Hengzhou changed his clothes and came out, and Shen Bai immediately leaned over: "The young master said that he would start again in the afternoon today, the hour is not early, Brother Gu might as well eat first, and then count the manpower after eating." ”

Gu Hengzhou's face was stiff, his face was frosty, and he refused to be thousands of miles away: "No need, I'll go see His Highness first." ”

Shen Bai said, "Then I'll go with you." ”

Gu Hengzhou's eyes were cold and nailed to Shen Bai's body, Shen Bai stopped, and touched the tip of his nose curtly: "Then Brother Gu, go by yourself, I'll go find something to eat." ”

Gu Hengzhou turned around and strode away, Shen Bai stood in place and looked at his back and sighed: "Alas...... Yesterday I was still enthusiastic in bed, and today I love to ignore the master, the man is really ruthless. ”

Muttering ruthlessness in his mouth, Shen Bai put his hands behind his back and went to the kitchen to find food.

Zhou Jue quickly knew the news that Gu Hengzhou had come to his senses, and when Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che finished speaking, they immediately stuck to Gu Hengzhou like a fart, and righteously accused Shen Bai of the evil behavior of pretending to be a tiger and bullying people in the past two days.

Zhou Jue emphasized that Gu Hengzhou beat him up yesterday because he disturbed Shen Bai's sleep, and he was extremely sad and angry, Gu Hengzhou's face sank like water when he heard it, Zhou Jue didn't notice anything abnormal, and muttered awkwardly: "Brother Gu, even if it's because you're poisoned, it's too sad for me that kid you are so partial to the Shen family, we grew up together, what is that kid." ”

Zhou Jue has more friends than Gu Hengzhou, but those are all fox friends and dog friends, he knows that a cold-faced and hot-hearted person like Gu Hengzhou is really worth making friends for a lifetime.

He regarded Gu Hengzhou as a close friend, which is why he was so scheming.

Gu Hengzhou said solemnly: "Although I was poisoned at the time, it was indeed wrong for me to hurt you, and I will personally apologize to Uncle Zhou after returning to Beijing." ”

Zhou Jue just wanted to prove that his status in Gu Hengzhou's heart was higher than Shen Bai's, and when he heard that Gu Hengzhou was going to apologize to his father, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Gu, you don't need my father to know about this little thing, our friendship is this, I won't blame you if you accidentally beat me up, and didn't I beat you too." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Jue's heart was weak for a while, Gu Hengzhou still had gauze wrapped around his head, and he was hurt worse than him, if Gu Hengzhou wanted to apologize to his father, should he also apologize to Zhen Guogong?

Zhenguo Gong finally took advantage of His Majesty's birthday to return to Beijing once, and before he had time to enjoy the joy of family, he first heard that he beat his only son, what is this like?

The more Zhou Jue thought about it, the more frightened he became, and looked at Gu Hengzhou and begged: "Brother Gu, let's settle this together, don't let my father know about this matter after I go back, otherwise he will definitely kill me." ”

Knowing what Zhou Jue was afraid of, Gu Hengzhou readily agreed: "Okay." ”

Turning his head, he saw Shen Bai coming from a distance with a plate of pastries, Gu Hengzhou turned his steps and walked out, and said in a low voice: "I'll go count the manpower, don't let people disturb me." ”

It's not that you're too long, who is so bold as to bother you.

Zhou Jue slandered, and when he caught a glimpse of Shen Bai walking towards this side, he immediately understood the meaning of Gu Hengzhou's words, his heart was overjoyed, and he said loudly: "Brother Gu, you can go with peace of mind if I am here." ”

After speaking, he proudly blocked Shen Bai's way, stretched out his hand to grab the plate of pastries, but Shen Bai flexibly avoided it, and rolled his eyes angrily: "You just came down from the bandits' den, are you here for you to eat?" ”

Zhou Jue raised his eyebrows, like a peacock with only the screen open, and looked at Shen Bai with his hands around his chest: "Brother Gu is awake, now no one is covering you, you know that you are scared, right?" ”

Shen Bai was speechless: "What do I have to be afraid of?" ”

Zhou Jue smiled slightly, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes: "The little master is so big, he kneels to his parents, and he hasn't knelt down to anyone else, yesterday you actually asked the young master to kneel to a woman, and the young master will let you know today!" ”

After Zhou Jue finished speaking, his eyes became sharp, and he suddenly swung his fist at Shen Bai, Shen Bai avoided it sideways, and his brows furrowed: "The surname is Zhou, what are you crazy about?" ”

Zhou Jue didn't speak, he punched people with his head, although he still had injuries on his hands, his movements did not slow down at all, Shen Bai was forced to take a few steps back and lost his temper, poured all the pastries on him, threw the plate and fought with him.

Zhou Jue's martial arts cultivation in Tai Academy can only be regarded as a medium level, but after being strengthened by Zhou Deshan, the strength in his hands is much greater, Shen Bai took two moves, his arm was shocked and numb, and he was a little powerless, Zhou Jue saw it, and said proudly: "You kid is too weak, it's better like this, if you are willing to kneel down and call me grandpa, I will spare you." ”

The two of them were about to arrive at the lobby unconsciously, the corners of Shen Bai's lips rose, and he said unconvinced: "Grandson, since you sent it to the door, grandpa will teach you how to be a person today!" ”

When the words fell, Zhou Jue swept over, Shen Bai dodged one by one, got behind Zhou Jue, and kicked him into the lobby before Zhou Jue could react.

In the lobby, Zhao Che was explaining the follow-up precautions with Captain Muzhou, Zhou Jue almost didn't stop and hit his head, Zhao Che frowned and looked over, Zhou Jue was startled, and hurriedly stood up straight: "Young master, morning!" ”

Shen Bai tidied up his clothes, walked out slowly, and asked in surprise: "The young master's face is so bad, but this groom made a mistake to make the young master unhappy?" ”

The matter was almost explained, Zhao Che asked the captain to step down, glanced at Zhou Jue, and then looked at Shen Bai: "Nothing to do?" ”

Shen Bai immediately said: "I have already packed all my luggage, are we going with His Royal Highness the Prince's team?" Do you want to carry my luggage to the camel right now? ”

Gu Hengzhou avoided her again like before, and Shen Bai wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him, but Zhao Che directly broke her illusion: "There are still camels in the city, just follow them, you don't have to go along, and you don't have to worry about moving luggage, stay honest." ”

"Oh."

Shen Bai was a little disappointed, but he could only stay by Zhao Che's side obediently, and secretly stared at Zhou Jue.

After lunch, everyone gathered outside the City Lord's Mansion, just like when they rushed back, there was a camel for every two people, and Gu Hengzhou and Miao Ruoxi each rode a camel at the front of the team.

Zhao Che bought eight camels, two of which were used for camel luggage, the three dead soldiers, Zhou Jue and Chu Yingtian were all riding one by one, and the remaining one must be Zhao Che's, Shen Bai stood beside him with a blank expression: "Young master, you don't want the little one to run behind the team, right?" ”

Zhao Che got on the camel and looked at her: "What do you think?" ”

Shen Bai boldly took two steps to Zhao Che's side, and asked tentatively, "Can the little one ride a camel with the young master?" ”

Shen Bai blinked his eyes with a look of anticipation, obviously bold, but at this time he deliberately behaved cautiously, Zhao Che didn't have time to act with her, and said coldly: "Don't come up yet?" ”

Shen Bai immediately climbed up, the camel stood up, although he had already had the experience of riding a camel, Shen Bai still fell forward because of inertia, hit Zhao Che's back, and after the camel stood firm, he hurriedly apologized: "Young master, the small one is not intentional." ”

When Shen Bai bumped into it, he put his two hands on his lap very decimoredly, but after apologizing, he heard Zhao Che say, "Hold me!" ”

"Huh?" Shen Bai couldn't believe his ears a little, "Young Master, you are a golden body, I ......"

Thinking that she talked too much, Zhao Che directly grabbed her hand and wrapped it around his waist, and ordered in a cold voice: "Shut up!" ”

Shen Bai obediently shut up, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The queen mother is parallel to Brother Gu in front, she is riding a camel with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, and she is still holding the waist of His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't this a cuckold for the Queen Mother?

The team set off again from the twilight ceremony, and after leaving the city, they walked for most of the day, and accurately found the lake before, all the items were still there, and the soldiers who stayed behind to guard it were fine.

Gu Hengzhou asked people to quickly put the items on the camel, rested for half an hour, and hurried overnight.

In the days when the festival is delayed, we must hurry up and come back.

With Miao Ruoxi leading the way, they walked in the desert for four days, and finally saw the green meadows and a small village built along the river in the evening of the fourth day.

Originally part of the Twilight Festival, it was later blocked by the desert and became a small pier for merchants and visitors.

Zhaoling's messenger had already arrived in Hengyang, the Dongheng royal family sent a big ship to greet him, the ship had been docked here for two days, as soon as Gu Hengzhou arrived, the Dongheng shipping envoy who was in charge of contact was happy to come, and found that Miao Ruoxi was also there, and the shipping envoy's eyes flashed with surprise.

After four days of non-stop driving, everyone was tired, but they could rest after getting on the boat, and Gu Hengzhou directly asked people to load things onto the boat.

Zhao Che is still following Gu Hengzhou as a tea merchant, and he can't get on this ship directly, so Shen Bai hurriedly went to the dock to rent a boat and followed Gu Hengzhou and their big ship to Hengyang.

It began to rain that night, and the continuous autumn rain covered the entire river with a thick fog, and the boat sailed in it, as if it had strayed into some kind of fairyland.

The carnage and hustle and bustle of the city remained on the shore, leaving only the damp and cold of autumn and the rare peace and tranquility.

Shen Bai was very leisurely, and he was either lying by the window watching the scenery on both sides of the strait or helping Zhao Che make tea.

However, after getting on the boat, Zhao Che didn't drink much tea, at most he sniffed it and took two sips.

After two days, Shen Bai couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, although it has been raining for several days in a row, the hazy mountains and rivers have a different flavor, what is it that makes you so sad that you are willing to live up to such a beautiful scenery?" ”

Zhao Che looked back at Shen Bai and asked meaningfully, "What else do you see besides seeing the scenery on both sides of the strait?" ”

Shen Bai was surprised: "What else does the young master think?" ”

"Kill!"
