Chapter Twenty-Eight: Being Targeted
The inn where Nanzhi lived was actually a local family, and General Song had already greeted him, and in addition to delivering food, he usually didn't come to disturb Nanzhi.
It's a remote place surrounded by desert desolation. Nanzhi was bored, so he took Sang Yu to see the sunset and went around the street.
Since Xuan He went to the barracks, he also left early and returned late, so he could have stayed in the barracks, but he still insisted on returning here every day, and Nanzhi felt tired for him.
In recent days, it seems that there has been some unevenness, and Xuan He's face is very bad when he comes back every day, as if there is something wrong at the border. This place is so close that it will naturally be affected by some influences, and Namggyi has also heard about it.
The newly appointed King of the Desert is a ruthless character and ambitious, and he has only been on the throne for a long time, and he is in a hurry to go to the battlefield. But now it's just about to move, but it has to be guarded against.
Xuan He practiced with the soldiers in the barracks all day long, then followed his father to patrol the border, and then returned to the barracks to watch several generals discuss there, which really aroused his aggressive mentality, thinking about when he could go to the battlefield and show his skills.
Xuan He stayed at the inn and tried to persuade Nanzhi to go back first, after all, it was still very dangerous to really fight.
Nanzhi doesn't feel any danger, he is very powerful, of course he can protect himself. Besides, she is a princess, and it would be too humiliating to leave her subjects and run away when she is in danger.
Xuan He had no choice but to sigh helplessly, knowing that he would definitely not be able to persuade her. I can only follow her, watch her pick this, buy that, and then help her carry things himself.
The two walked for a while, and happened to meet a team of marrying relatives. The two newlyweds sat on a horse, dressed in wedding clothes that seemed to be no different from ordinary people, but they were more luxurious. The streets were also crowded with people, and it was a joyous scene.
"Xuan He, look, there are still candy along the street," he said and was about to pull Xuan He over, "It's really interesting, let's go and have a look." ”
"Wait," Xuan He took Nanzhi's hand, "Don't you see that this is our two foreigners, just like this, what if they like it." ”
"How could it be, they are so generous in marrying, and they don't look like some pedantic people,"
Nam Zhi looked back at the newcomer with a gentle smile on his face.
"You see they're all happy. How good this way of getting married, it seems to announce to the world that you are my person. ”
Xuan He suddenly turned his eyes to Nanzhi, his eyes were full of tenderness, as if Nanzhi's sentence 'You are my person' was saying to him.
Nanzhi looked at the couple with a smile on his face, his face full of blessings and happiness.
Xuan He took a deep breath and covered his chest to hide his heartbeat,
Nanzhi tugged at his sleeve, "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's go, but the sugar will be gone. ”
Xuan He smiled, "The sugar is gone, I can buy it for you." ”
"How can this be the same?" Nanzhi glanced at him with disgust, "This is candy, you can be happy." ”
The ghost of Xuanhe asked the gods: "What does Nanzhi want to be happy, does Nanzhi want to get married?"
Nanzhi was stunned by his words, isn't it normal to be happy, and then thought that there is only one person who wants to get married, but unfortunately it is impossible.
"You're stupid, you'll be lucky if you're happy, but we've watched their ceremony, and we're happy." Nam Zhi shrugged his shoulders indifferently and dismissed the idea of going to get the candy.
Actually, I don't like crowded places. When there are too many people, they feel out of place.
Xuan He noticed that his words seemed to make Nanzhi a little unhappy, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
"It's not bad that I can finally accompany you out today, and I met such a festive thing."
At this time, two old men came over, also foreign, but amiable and not aggressive.
"Two guests, we still have a grand ceremony, I wonder if you are interested in attending?"
"Ceremonies? What will you do? Nanzhi asked in surprise, he had never been to a wedding, and this was the first time.
"At night, we would light a bonfire in the desert and dance together to express our blessings, and everyone in the street would do it
Come, and the delicious roasted whole lamb. ”
Nanzhi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he seemed to be very interesting, "Okay, good! We will definitely go, thank you, old man. ”
The old man said no politely and continued to follow the group.
Nanzhi turned around and saw the pensive look on Xuan He's face, knowing that he must be worried about what to write.
"It's okay, let's go take a look, and it won't be okay, huh?" Behind his back, Nanzhi leaned in front of him from the bottom up, looking at him expectantly.
Xuan He looked at Nanzhi's big sparkling eyes, and his breath suffocated, too close! Then he turned his head unnaturally and coughed twice.
"It's better for us to be cautious, after all, this person is not familiar with the place, who knows what they have in mind."
Nanzhi pouted, his hands on his hips, "Do you think those people will find two people to play a fake marriage in order to kill me?" Then they're idle and have nothing to do. ”
Xuan He looked at Nanzhi's angry appearance, it was too cute, after all, she was just a child who had just reached Xuan, this should be her original appearance.
Xuan He sighed silently in his heart, it seems that it is really like what his father said, this life may be like this, it is destined to be planted in her hands.
"Okay, let's go."
Nanzhi looked at him with a smile, "I know that Xuanhe is the best." ”
The two of them walked around, completely unaware that they had been targeted.
Two aliens followed them until they returned to the inn, where one of them had left and the other was still guarding.
In an inn not far away, one of the people who had been following Namggyi was kneeling on the ground.
There was a person lying on the couch, with one hand on his head, his robe hanging loosely on his body, leaking a large piece of pectoral muscles and abdominal muscles, and his complexion was the common wheat color of desert people, closing his eyes and recuperating, listening to his report.
"The villain and his brother originally saw that they were foreigners, and wanted to see where they stopped, and went to steal something at night," he knelt on the ground and glanced at him weakly, and continued when he found that there was no reaction.
"When we followed them to the inn, we saw another woman come out to greet them, and I was absolutely right, that woman was exactly like the picture." The man's expression suddenly became excited, "It's really exactly the same, my brother and I have seen it, and it can't be wrong, little prince." ”
The man on the couch opened his eyes, glanced at the kneeling man on the ground, and closed it again in disgust.
Originally, I came to this border town to investigate the movements of the South ** team, but I didn't expect there to be other gains. The little prince hooked the corners of his lips and sneered, it was really funny.
Nanzhi returned to the inn, put down his things and went to find Sangyu. When you see someone pulling, you leave.
"Huh? Miss, where are we going? Sang Yu followed behind Nanzhi and also took Nanzhi's hand.
"When I was shopping with Xuan He today, I happened to meet a marryman, and they said that they would hold a bonfire party over there! Hurry up, it should all begin. ”
Nanzhi walked for a while and suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xuan He, and his eyes signaled.
Xuan He seemed to know that she would turn back, with an expression that I knew, and then slowly stepped forward and led the way.
Nanzhi smiled with satisfaction and followed behind.
"This is the first time we've had a large-scale event here!" Nanzhi shook Sang Yu's hand and said excitedly than the gesture, "It must be very lively!" Of course, I'm going to check it out! ”
Sang Yu also nodded cateringly, Nanzhi must have been suffocated these days, and he didn't let go of the army all the way, and he would definitely be very happy to be able to play now.
Before I could get closer, I heard the sound of revelry, a group of people holding hands around the fire singing and dancing, and playing musical instruments that I don't know what they were called.
The bride and groom also sang and danced with them in wedding dresses, a row of joyful scenes.
Nam Zhi stood next to him, clapping from time to time, and the atmosphere was so good, that a group of people were connected in this way, with joy, advancing and retreating together, forgetting all the unhappiness and sadness.
In the corner of the crowd sat a handsome man, dressed in a dark black costume, with medium-long hair slightly curled, holding a small and delicate wine glass in his hand, and was looking at Namggyi with fierce eyes.
I originally wanted to come and see the woman who looked very much like the person in the painting, but I didn't expect to see such a stunning woman!
Sang Yu looked at him as if he had a sense, and felt extremely uncomfortable when he met his eyes, like being smothered in the water and about to suffocate to death.
The man couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Sang Yu looking over and seeing her appearance clearly, it seems that the person said it well during the day, it is indeed like it.
But now I'm not interested in her, anyway, I reported to my brother, and then it's his business.
The man drank the wine in his glass, handed it to the servant next to him, stood up and walked towards Namji.
"Miss, can we dance together?" The man leaned down and whispered close to Namji.
Nanzhi was startled by the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and before he could answer, he was protected by Xuan He.
"I'm sorry, this friend, she doesn't know how to dance, you better go find someone else!"
Xuan He said to the man in a tough tone, looking at the man in front of him with an unkind face.
The man looked at him and raised his eyebrows and smiled, but he didn't expect that there was a flower messenger beside her.
The man turned his eyes to Nanzhi behind Xuan He, and smiled gentlemanly, "That's a pity, I originally wanted to make friends with this beautiful young lady, it seems that it will be next time." Have fun. ”
After speaking, he smiled at Nanzhi, and when he left, he glanced at Sang Yu meaningfully.
Nanzhi hid behind Xuanhe, watching the back of the man leaving, thoughtful.
This person, the aura on his body is too strong, and he doesn't feel like an ordinary person. Moreover, his eyes are too aggressive, and he hides a knife in his smile, and he is not a good person at first glance.
Xuan He saw that Nanzhi was still staring at the back of the man, and directly turned around and pressed Nanzhi into his arms, lowered his head and said in Nanzhi's ear:
"Is someone's back so good-looking? Well? Staring at it for so long? ”
Nanzhi felt a little out of breath and raised his hand to push his chest, "It's not!" You let go of me! I didn't. ”
Xuan He let go of her, put his hands on her shoulders, lowered his head, and looked at her eyes.
Namzhi stared at him angrily, pursed her lips, and clasped her hands around her chest.
Xuan He didn't know what was wrong, and felt an ambiguous aura hit his nerves, wanting him to go crazy.
Xuan He lowered his head, took a deep breath, his face turned red, and his heart seemed to pop out, if it weren't for the noisy singing here, his heartbeat would definitely be heard.
Seeing that he lowered his head and the hands on his shoulders were still trembling a little, Nanzhi stretched out his hands to hold up his face.
Xuan He saw that Nanzhi wanted to raise his face, so he lowered his head stiffly.
Nanzhi couldn't move for a long time, and stepped on Xuanhe angrily.
"Ahhh It hurts! Xuan He raised his head in pain, jumped half a circle with his feet in his hands, and sat on the ground.
Sang Yu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, burst out laughing, and Nanzhi leaned back and laughed beside him.
The man stood in the shadows and looked at Nanzhi, the firelight flickering on his face, and his handsome face was full of crazy smiles.
