39. Crisis!
"Come in."
Tang Xi pushed the door and went in when she heard this, Huo Jinyan's room was the best on the ship, it was still a suite, the kind with the study and the outer room where the people lived, as soon as she entered, she saw Huo Jinyan sitting at the other end of the study, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she didn't forget about business at this time, and she really didn't have a moment to spare.
Huo Jinyan didn't raise his head, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”
Tang Xi immediately showed a slightly dog-legged smile, "My lord, can I ask you for something?" ”
Huo Jinyan lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, and the answer was very brief, "You are responsible for taking care of it yourself." ”
"......" Tang Xi, who hadn't said what was going on, felt a little heartbroken, and felt that her every move was under the noses of others, but Huo Jinyan agreed so simply, she still had to express her gratitude, "Thank you, my lord!" ”
"Well, is there anything else?"
This is an eviction order, she hesitated, "Hmm...... I didn't ......" She suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, gritted her teeth and changed her words, "My lord, I still have something to say." ”
Huo Jinyan was silent for a moment, "Go back." ”
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Huo Jinyan had guessed what she was going to say, she was suddenly even more confused, her footsteps did not move a bit, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Why didn't the adults let me say it?" After a pause, she asked as if she was angry, "Could it be that Lord Fei is also the same as those people?" ”
Huo Jinyan frowned slightly, with a hint of warning in his eyes, and said in a cold tone, "You are too much." ”
Tang Xi bit her lip, if she said that she naturally believed Huo Jinyan before, but since he knew the truth, the whole person has changed a lot, which has made her faintly feel that it is not very good, so now Huo Jinyan's behavior of knowing that the people are suffering but ignoring it makes her have some doubts.
"My lord, this country was also my sister's country, no matter how ridiculous my sister is, at least she treats the people, and my sister has never let them suffer, so now even if my sister is dead, I hope ......" She bit her lip, her voice trembled slightly, "I hope that adults can continue to protect the people of this world." ”
Tang Xi knew that it was despicable for her to say this, and she was dead, but she still wanted to use Huo Jinyan's feelings for her to let him protect the people, but at the same time, she also felt that Huo Jinyan, whom she knew, should not be so cold-blooded, she was afraid that Huo Jinyan would be affected by her death and become a person he once despised the most.
But now she is soft-spoken, why should Huo Jinyan listen to her? Only Feng Xi's relationship is the only person who may affect Huo Jinyan, and she can only do so.
However, this time Huo Jinyan's face was calm, "Finished?" ”
Tang Xi had a hint of pleading in his eyes, "My lord, those people are really pitiful, and I hope that my lord can help one or two." ”
He looked up at her, his face cold, "I think you've made some mistakes, first, I'm not omnipotent, I can't do everything; Second, you seem to be in the wrong position, so why do you think you can influence my decision? Is it because of Fengxi? But she's dead, you're just her sister, and the only thing I'm willing to do is keep you safe, and ...... You don't have the right to claim me. ”
Tang Xi bit her lip and couldn't say a word, she let out a long breath for a while, and her face calmed down, "My lord, I lost my words, I'm sorry." ”
With that, she saluted and turned to leave.
"Wait." Suddenly, Huo Jinyan called her and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable these days, and I need someone to keep vigil at night, so you can live outside tonight." ”
Tang Xi paused and pursed his lips tightly, but he didn't look back in the end, only responded lightly, "Yes." ”
Out of Huo Jinyan's room, she let out a long sigh, slapped and gave a sweet date, what should she say? What kind of physical discomfort needs someone to keep vigil, it is clear that he knows the situation in her room, knows that she has no place to live, and wants to take her in kindly, but he says it with such a cold and hard attitude, so that she can't say it if she wants to be grateful.
Hearing Tang Xi's sound of closing the door, Huo Jinyan's hand holding the pen paused for a long time and didn't leave that stroke, and after a while, he pursed his lips and put the pen down, rubbing his eyebrows with a headache.
He didn't know why he said the last sentence, but if he regretted it at this time, it would be more deliberate, anyway, the outside room was empty, and it didn't matter how many nights she slept in.
Tang Xi sorted out her expression and went back to the room, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Yan'er sleeping on the side of the bed, and her mother was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, she reluctantly walked over and picked up Yan'er and carefully put it on the bed, and then opened the door and went to the deck.
It's already evening at this time, it's really a little cold standing on the deck to blow the wind, but it's not easy to go back to her own room, Huo Jinyan's room is even more uneasy for her to stay, she really doesn't know where to go at this time, after thinking about it, she sat down, but it was really not so cold.
"Huh? Why are you here? ”
Tang Xi didn't need to look up to hear that it was Lu Zheng's second goods, "Why are you coming out again?" ”
Lu Zheng stood still in front of her, "Why can't I come out?" Can't you eat after eating? ”
Tang Xi said a wilted "oh" and stopped talking.
"What's wrong with you? Was scolded by the third brother again? ”
"No, it's just that I just took in a mother and daughter, and the two of them are sleeping sweetly in my room at this time, and I don't want to disturb them, so I came out to sit."
"Tsk, can't you see that you're still so kind?" Lu Zheng said and pulled her up, and said arrogantly, "For your sake, let you go to my room and sit down, I have an outer room, and there is a door between the inner room, which is specially used for the vigil of the subordinates, but I don't need these, so if you don't dislike it, you can let you stay for one night." ”
"Thank you, then, but the adult's outer room has already lent me, so I don't need to go to your place for the time being!" Tang Xi stood up and broke away from the hand he was holding his arm, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I am swept out of the house when I am swept away, I will go to your side to borrow it!" ”
Lu Zheng's face faded when he heard this, and he pouted and said in confusion, "The third brother actually agreed to borrow you to sleep outside?" Tsk, is this still the third brother I know? ”
Tang Xi glanced at him and said half-truthfully, "What do you know?" This girl is naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, and adults are naturally different from me. "The identity of the Fengxi sister she made up for herself, it is enough for Huo Jinyan to know it alone, and it is better for outsiders not to reveal it.
Lu Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth and said in disgust, "Just you?" The third brother can't look down on the first beauty in the capital, can he still look down on you? Don't dream. ”
Tang Xi didn't want to entangle with Lu Zheng more on this issue, so he said, "Okay, I won't tell you, I'm going to the adult's room." ”
Why does "......" sound so awkward? However, Tang Xi didn't give Lu Zheng time to find fault and turned around and left.
I wanted to stay on the deck until I went to sleep before going back, but when I met Lu Zheng and was asked by him why Huo Jinyan was different from her, she had no choice but to go back to Huo Jinyan's room directly.
Hearing the sound of the door opening outside, Huo Jinyan knew that Tang Xi was back, so he didn't say anything, and still sat at the desk and looked at the folds.
Tang Xi lay outside for a while, listening to the sound of turning the pages in the room from time to time, and couldn't sleep, so she got up and quietly opened the door and looked inside, Huo Jinyan's face was particularly clear under the reflection of the candle flame, it was still the cold face like an immortal, and the face was full of seriousness, this picture was unexpectedly good-looking.
I think she is also a person who has read countless beautiful men, but every time she sees Huo Jinyan's face, she still feels extraordinarily good-looking, and it is no wonder that Mu Yao is so infatuated with him.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly Huo Jinyan's cold voice sounded, "What are you doing?" ”
Tang Xi was startled, but when she looked at him again, she still looked down at the book, and her eyes didn't move a bit, so she subconsciously glanced around, wondering if there was a second person in this room?
But at this time, Huo Jinyan put down the fold in his hand and looked at her, with a little helplessness in his eyes, "I'm asking you." ”
"......" Tang Xi, who was caught peeping at the bag, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then coughed lightly, "What, my lord, you've been busy all day, don't you rest early?" ”
He glanced at her lightly, "Didn't you ask me to protect the people of this world?" How to protect the early rest? ”
Tang Xi was choked for a moment, but he didn't expect him to use his previous words to block himself, and after thinking about it, he said, "Ahem...... Aren't you also the people of my Fengyuan Dynasty? You have to take care of yourself, too! ”
"It's sharp-toothed."
Under the swaying lights, Huo Jinyan seemed to chuckle, but in the blink of an eye, the smile disappeared cleanly, and Tang Xi almost thought that he had seen it wrong.
But then he closed the fold in his hand, turned around and walked inside, "Rest early." ”
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Huo Jinyan to really listen to her persuasion, she chuckled, "Good night." ”
After saying that, she tilted the corners of her mouth slightly and fell back into bed, and had a good night's sleep.
Tang Xi slept a little heavily this night, and when she woke up, it was already bright, she looked at the completely unfamiliar environment and was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what happened yesterday, she was now in Huo Jinyan's house.
It's not early at this time, thinking that Huo Jinyan should have gotten up early, she got up from the bed and glanced into the room, and sure enough, she saw that Huo Jinyan was already sitting at the desk and looking at the fold seriously.
Tsk, it's even more manageable than the emperor.
"Wash up and have breakfast."
Tang Xi hurriedly got up when she heard this, and saw that the washing water was ready, so she hurriedly went over to wash up, and then entered the inner room, and as soon as she entered, she saw the breakfast on Huo Jinyan's table, the breakfast was very simple, just porridge and side dishes plus a few steamed buns.
She glanced at Huo Jinyan carefully, "Have you eaten it?" ”
"Hmm." Again, the short answer.
So she smiled happily, "Then I'll carry the things to my room to eat." Let her have breakfast in front of Huo Jinyan, she was afraid that she would choke to death.
Huo Jinyan paused slightly, and then asked lightly, "Are you so uncomfortable with me?" ”
What should I do if the "......" is discovered? Ahem, of course I can't admit it! So she hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "How come, but aren't there two people in my room, I'm afraid that they won't eat enough for me alone, after all, there is a child, it's the time to grow up, how can I not eat enough?" ”
"If you're worried about this, you don't have to, I've already instructed Keichi to add food for the two of them."
"......, you're ruthless enough."
"Haha, that's right, then...... Then I'll eat it myself...... Hehe......" She laughed dryly, and saw that Huo Jinyan didn't pay attention to her, so she had to redo it again, and then ate breakfast.
The room was quiet, only the sound of Huo Jinyan flipping the book and the little sound she made from eating, she felt very tormented, eating in such an atmosphere was simply torture!
So she put down her chopsticks after eating a little porridge and half a steamed bun, "My lord, I'm done eating, if you don't eat it, I'll serve it?" ”
Huo Jinyan glanced at the table here, and said lightly, "Why don't I know when your appetite is so small?" ”
...... "Hey, hey, you're enough!"
"Ahem...... I think I've been getting a little weight lately, so I've controlled my diet a bit. ”
"I see, since you want to control your diet, then you have to pay attention to it in the future, don't get rid of meaty ones, it's easiest to gain weight."
"......" Tang Xi wanted to slap himself, what reason is it difficult to say that he has to say this? It's good now, don't let you eat meat directly! She glanced pitifully at her chest, which had just gained a little momentum, and it seemed that this time it was completely hopeless......
"Got it, thank you for your concern, then I'll take the things away." He still had a smile on his face, and he was already crying like a fool in his heart.
Out of the corner of his eye, seeing Tang Xi's angry face and smiling expression, Huo Jinyan hooked the corner of his mouth with a little pleasure, and then responded, "Go ahead." ”
Tang Xi thought about it, but still took the uneaten things back to his room, what if Yan'er didn't eat enough? She didn't have that much money on her to buy food.
"Sister, you're back!"
Seeing Tang Xi walk in, Yan'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly greeted her, and then said a little embarrassed, "Sister, I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep yesterday and woke up this morning, we took up your bed, where did you sleep?" ”
Looking at Yan'er's flushed smiling face, Tang Xi's mood improved slightly, she smiled and pinched her face, "It's okay, my sister has someone who traveled with her, and I borrowed it outside his room for one night yesterday." ”
Hearing Tang Xi say this, Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, otherwise I'm really going to die of guilt." ”
Tang Xi smiled, and then looked at the woman with a little sick look on her face, "Sister-in-law's health is better?" ”
"Thank you, girl, I feel better." She looked grateful, it was not easy to meet a good person these years, "I don't know what to call a girl?" ”
"My name is Tang Xi, where is my sister-in-law?"
"It turned out to be Miss Tang, and my husband's surname is Zheng."
Tang Xi nodded, and then asked, "By the way, are you full for breakfast?" ”
"I'm full, someone sent a lot of steamed buns and porridge in the morning, my mother and I haven't eaten so full for a long time!" Yan'er hurriedly answered, her little face was flushed, her eyes were bright, and she looked very excited.
Tang Xi was infected by Yan'er's smile, and reached out to touch her head, "It's good to be full, Sister-in-law Zheng hasn't taken medicine yet, right?" I'll help you make the powder. ”
"Thank you, Miss Tang." Sister-in-law Zheng hurriedly thanked her again.
After taking the medicine, Tang Xi said to the two, "Don't hide it, this time we are also going to the border pass, just passing through Zhoushan County, I have asked my son-in-law yesterday, and the son-in-law agreed to take the two of you with me." ”
When Sister-in-law Zheng and Yan'er heard this, their eyes flashed with surprise, and Yan'er cheered, "Really? That's great! Thank you so much, sister! ”
Sister-in-law Zheng was a little hesitant after being delighted, she just heard Tang Xi say that her son-in-law, which shows that Tang Xi is just a subordinate in this industry, so she has to ask her master for them, thinking that it will bring her a lot of trouble, so she pursed her lips and refused, "Thank you Miss Tang for your kindness, we have troubled you enough, and we can't embarrass you anymore." ”
Yan'er's expression instantly became lost when she heard this, yes, she only thought of herself just now, but she didn't expect how much trouble it would bring to Sister Tang, so although she was very disappointed, she still cheered up and squeezed out a smile, "Yes, sister, we can't trouble you anymore, it's okay, my mother and I can also go to Zhoushan County, sister, don't worry." ”
Seeing that Yan'er was so sensible, obviously lost but still forced herself to comfort herself, Tang Xi felt a little distressed, such a cute little girl was so displaced because of natural and man-made disasters, and the way of heaven was unfair.
"Don't worry, Childe is a good person, since you have agreed, you will never feel embarrassed, you can live here with peace of mind, and when the ship docks, let's go on the road together." As she spoke, she looked at Sister-in-law Zheng again, "Besides, sister-in-law has to think about Yan'er even if she doesn't want to, Yan'er is a girl in the end, if you meet any bad people on the road, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Sister-in-law Zheng hesitated when she heard this, glanced at Yan'er's increasingly watery face, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "That'...... Then thank you Miss Tang. If she herself, she would definitely not bother Tang Xi again, but Tang Xi was right, Yan'er was too young, and she was afraid that something would happen.
After two days, Zheng's sister-in-law finally recovered from her illness, and Tang Xi has been living outside Huo Jinyan for the past few days, with the precedent of the first night, and then Tang Xi doesn't even need to say anything more, as long as Tang Xi returns to the room, Huo Jinyan will turn off the lights and rest in a while, and unconsciously seems to have developed some kind of tacit understanding.
After a few days of such peace, the ship was finally going to dock, and the thought of returning to land tomorrow made Tang Xi very excited, and even couldn't sleep at night, but living in Huo Jinyan's room, she didn't dare to make any noise even if she couldn't sleep.
After some time, she suddenly heard an urgent knock on the door, "My lord, there are five or six ships approaching us outside!" ”
When she heard this, she sat up suddenly, she was really afraid of something, she could have landed tomorrow, but something happened at this moment, and five or six boats suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, and she didn't have to think much about it to know that it must be coming for them.
There was the sound of squirming and getting dressed inside, and after a while, Huo Jinyan opened the door and walked out, he glanced at Tang Xi, who was already standing, and instructed Ying Yi, "Go to the captain first, and then gather all the passengers together, leave a few people to protect them, and the rest follow me to the deck." ”
Tang Xi was a little worried in his heart, if he was on land, he naturally didn't have to be afraid, but now on the water, the capital is not as good as here, and everyone is not very good at water.
"I'll go with you." She suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Huo Jinyan's clothes, and repeated in his slightly surprised gaze, "I'll go with you, one more person will always have a better chance of winning." ”
"Don't mess around, go stay with the other boatmen and wait for me."
"I'm not messing around!" Tang Xi said anxiously, this is obviously not the time to argue, so she didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, but rushed out one step ahead of Huo Jinyan.
Huo Jinyan frowned slightly, and commanded helplessly, "Ying Er, protect her." ”
Tang Xi ran to the deck in one breath and saw the ships gradually rushing around him, a total of six ships, glowing with fire in the distance, as they gradually approached, suddenly a bright light pierced the starry sky and shot straight towards the passenger ship!
Her pupils shrank, and she hurriedly dodged, and at the same time shouted, "Huo Jinyan!" The other party is shooting arrows at the boat, bringing fire oil! ”
It just so happened that Huo Jinyan also felt on the deck at the same time, his eyes sank, and he commanded Ying Yi, "Stop the other party from destroying the ship!" ”
In the light of the fire, more than a dozen guards struggled to resist the arrows, but it was inevitable that fire oil would fall on the ship, and in the blink of an eye, several places were on fire.
Tang Xi watched very anxiously from the sidelines, there were a total of more than 100 people on this ship, if the ship was destroyed, the consequences would be unimaginable!
She stretched out her hand and grabbed the person beside her, "Huo Jinyan, I have drugs here, and after a while, the boat got a little closer, and then put it in a bottle and tied it to an arrow and shoot it over!" ”
Looking at the attitude of the people around him giving orders, Huo Jinyan was in a trance for a moment, but then he lowered his gaze and looked into the distance, those ships were stagnant in the distance, and they seemed to be preparing to attack only from afar, so they would have no power to fight back.
"Bring it." He stretched out his hand towards Tang Xi.
Tang Xi watched those ships stagnate, and his heart became more and more anxious, "But the medicine bottle is too heavy, and tying it to the arrow will shorten the range, and you can't shoot it at all so far!" ”
Huo Jinyan didn't explain much, only reached out and took the bow and arrow from Yingyi's hand, turned his head and repeated lightly to her, "Bring it." ”
“…… Oh. Tang Xi looked at him a little stunned, she never knew that he could also use archery, but seeing him so confident, she was willing to believe him!
took the medicine bottle in Tang Xi's hand, although it was not big, but the bottle was porcelain, and it was still too heavy to tie to the arrow, she glanced at the fierce battle situation in front of her with some nervousness, "My lord, everything depends on you." ”
"Whoosh!"
Huo Jinyan's arrow shot straight at a boat, and the person on the opposite side subconsciously cut off the arrow, and the porcelain bottle fell to the ground with a "snap" sound, "It's not good, it's a drug!" ”
