Chapter Ninety-Three: Be Your Lover
"I think the two are also sons of rich and noble families, why are they in such a predicament?"
The enthusiastic mother-in-law prepared a hot meal for Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo, and the mother-in-law asked the two of them during the meal.
Qiu Luoxue's mind turned, and she suddenly thought of an interesting statement, and by the way, she wanted to test Xia Zimo's reaction, so she said: "Mother-in-law, you will be so good to us, I'll tell you the truth, in fact...... I'm a woman. ”
The mother-in-law didn't react much when she heard Qiu Luoxue's words, but it was Xia Zimo, who was drinking soup and almost squirted out, but fortunately, his psychological tolerance was relatively strong. Qiu Luoxue saw his reaction and secretly smiled.
The mother-in-law had a kind smile on her face and said, "I can see it." Is this your lover? ”
Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo, and the idea of joking came up again, so she said, "Yes, it's my lover." Actually, we ran away from marriage, so if someone comes to ask my mother-in-law if she has seen us, please don't tell us where we are. When she said the latter words, Qiu Luoxue looked pitiful and pitiful.
Fortunately, Xia Zimo didn't eat or drink anything at this time, otherwise he would definitely be choked again. He was quietly watching Qiu Luoxue's performance on the side.
"It turned out to be a poor pair of lovers." The mother-in-law sighed, "Don't worry, I won't tell you where you're going, you must go far, you must be happy, and you will grow old." ”
Facing her mother-in-law's blessing, Qiu Luoxue smiled and said, "Well, we will definitely not be caught." ”
After eating, Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo embarked on the road of escape again. Before leaving, Qiu Luo Xuesai gave her mother-in-law some silver taels and said, "This silver is for you, thank you for giving us clothes and food." ”
When the mother-in-law saw Qiu Luoxue giving her the silver, she stuffed it back and said, "Those are all trivial things, you can't use this money, and the days will be long in the future, so you can keep this money." ”
"It's okay, my lover is very capable, and there will be a steady stream of silver in the future. You can keep these, this year is a famine year, and it will be much better to keep some silver by your side. Qiu Luoxue glanced at Xia Zimo as she spoke, and said, "Yes." ”
Xia Zimo said very cooperatively: "Yes." ”
Then he took the silver from Qiu Luoxue's hand, stuffed it into her mother-in-law's hand, and said, "This is her intention, you can take it, we should go." After saying that, he pulled Qiu Luoxue and left.
The mother-in-law looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and praised with a smile: "It's really a talented woman, I hope you have a good result." ”
The two walked for a long time, and finally disappeared from the sight of the mother-in-law. Qiu Luoxue looked back, and couldn't see her mother-in-law anymore, so she said to Xia Zimo: "You can let go, you can't see it anymore." ”
"Not loose." Xia Zimo said, holding Qiu Luoxue's hand tighter.
"Why not loosen? Are you taking advantage of me? Qiu Luoxue was about to break away from Xia Zimo's hand as she spoke, but her strength was far inferior to Xia Zimo, so she could only endure him holding on firmly.
Xia Zimo hooked his lips and smiled, showing a hint of smugness on his face, and said, "Am I not a lover?" Of course you can hold hands. ”
"That's nonsense, isn't it? It's to disguise the identities of the two of us. If someone really came to my mother-in-law's house and asked her if she had seen us, she would only answer that she had seen a man and a woman. Isn't this different from us, we can dodge the pursuers very well. That's why I said you were my lover. Qiu Luoxue explained.
"I don't care about that." Xia Zimo said, "I am very satisfied with the identity of the lover. ”
"Satisfied, satisfied, let go of me." Qiu Luoxue said.
"Let me be before I get my identity back." Xia Zimo stopped and looked at Qiu Luoxue and said.
"When what?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"Your lover." Xia Zimo said.
Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo and found that his eyes were bright and sincere. For a moment, her heart was beating again. The winter sun is not warm, but it is very bright. Maybe it's because the light reflects off the snow, so it looks bright. Heavy snow covered every corner of the village, and everywhere was a white expanse. The ground is white, and the color of the sky is almost gray, so that the heaven and the earth are joined into one color, and people forget where they are.
From a distance, the houses in the village have turned white, only occasionally the eaves of a few houses still maintain their original color, and the thatched houses scattered in the mountain streams are like dotted flowers, dotting this white world.
The beautiful scenery in front of her, coupled with Xia Zimo's affectionate eyes, made Qiu Luoxue sink again, and she muttered, "Okay, just then." ”
Hearing Qiu Luoxue's answer, Xia Zimo hooked his lips and showed a bright smile. He seemed to feel that that Zhao Governor's Mansion was not so unforgivable, at least his actions created time for them to get along. Okay, Xia Zimo has decided, let Governor Zhao die happily after he goes back.
Outside Connecticut, Allure and others, who finally came out of the city, gathered together to discuss the next step.
"It's better for me to go to Quanzhou to find Commander Nie, and the matter of finding the emperor and prince will be left to you." Allure said.
"Okay, leave it to us here, don't worry." Jasper said.
After that, Allure nodded, flew on his horse, and set off in the direction of Jeonju.
"I'll look for it with you, although my brothers are not high in martial arts, they are strong in numbers, and they can still be used." Wu Zhi said.
"Okay." Han Shan agreed with his statement, and said: "I heard Imperial Doctor Xu say that Governor Zhao and King Chen's subordinates are also looking for the emperor and the prime minister outside the city, we follow their direction to find it, we should be able to find it." ”
After the initial route was determined, they began to look for people. It's just that out of Connecticut City, it is a broader world, and it is really difficult to find two people.
"What does it mean to be robbed?" Jiang Zhuo heard Xu Zhonghang say that Allure and the others were snatched away, and asked suspiciously.
Xu Zhonghang went to the stool, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank a cup before continuing to explain:
"That's right, Prime Minister Qiu Cheng and they were robbed by a group of bandits on the way to Connecticut, and the leading bandits seemed to have taken a fancy to his two maids and wanted the two of them to be his wife. But because Prime Minister Qiu was there, he didn't dare to take action. No, I don't know where I learned that Prime Minister Qiu was no longer in Connecticut City, so he sneaked into the city under the slogan of sending food and snatched the two maids away. Hanshan, the guard of the young man, couldn't look past it, so he fought with the bandits, chased them all the way, and also went out of the city. ”
"Was it really snatched?" Jiang Zhuo asked tentatively.
"Not really." Xu Zhonghang performed hard, as if things were really like that.
He continued: "How many people we still have in our hands, let's bring them all, we must take that bandit den and rescue Allure and Jasper, otherwise when Prime Minister Qiu comes back, he will definitely blame me for not protecting his maid." ”
"Brother Xu, don't worry, didn't you say that Hanshan chased him out? Presumably no big deal. Feng An persuaded Xu Zhonghangdao.
"But there is only one person in Hanshan, single-handedly, how can he snatch people from those bandits." Xu Zhonghang pretended to be anxious and said.
Jiang Zhuo said: "Hanshan's kung fu is very good, you and I have seen it, don't worry." Besides, our men have been sent to various places for disaster relief, and there are no spare manpower. You'd better wait for news. The top priority is disaster relief, otherwise when the prime minister returns, we will not be able to deal with it. ”
The reason why they didn't care about Allure and Jasper being snatched away must have felt that they were just two helpless maids, and they couldn't do anything even if they went out. But they never expected that they were the shadow guards arranged by the emperor next to Qiu Luoxue. The lack of intelligence is also a big mistake on their part. It is precisely because of this that a few days later, Nie Yuan came to take over Connecticut City with his men.
"Looks like you're right." Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue's side face and said.
They were resting on a stone at the edge of a stream, the surface of which was already frozen, but the sound of its flow could still be heard.
"What did I say?" For Xia Zimo's brainless words, Qiu Luoxue doesn't understand it anyway.
"If you are a woman, you must be captivating the country and the city, and fascinating all beings." Xia Zimo said.
Qiu Luoxue then remembered that she had said such things to Xia Zimo, and now that he repeated this sentence, it meant that he was very satisfied with his female appearance.
"Of course, when I first pretended to be a woman, I was fascinated by Nie Shishi, Yan Wangye, and the six princes of Nanliang." Qiu Luoxue proudly showed off that past.
"You're still wearing women's clothes in front of them?" Xia Zimo asked.
"The last time I went to Kitazawa, it was also to hide my identity." Qiu Luoxue said.
Xia Zimo said a little angrily: "I am not the first person to see you wearing women's clothes. ”
"It doesn't matter if this kind of thing is not the first." Qiu Luoxue said.
"However, it would be nice if you were really a woman." Xia Zimo said suddenly.
"It's not good, how unfree women are." Qiu Luoxue said, after a pause, she asked Xia Zimo with a smile on her face, "What if I were a woman?" ”
Xia Zimo thought for a while and said, "I will lock you up in the harem and not let anyone see you." ”
"Why?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"Because it's so beautiful." Xia Zimo said.
How nice it would be if it was a woman, if that was the case, I would be able to fall in love with you, spoil you, and be with you unscrupulously. Xia Zimo thought in his heart, at this moment, he hoped that Qiu Luoxue was a woman, and hoped that he would always show people in women's clothes, how good it would be.
Hearing Xia Zimo's praise, Qiu Luoxue's heart was happy, and she said jokingly: "Perhaps, are you teasing me now?" ”
Xia Zimo hooked his lips and said with a smile: "It's really a big deal that you found out." ”
Because of this joke, Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue laughed at the same time, and the joyful atmosphere between them did not look like they were being hunted down at all.
After a while, Qiu Luoxue asked again, "If, I mean, after a long, long time, you find out that I lied to you, what will happen?" The deception she said was to hide that she was a woman.
"I guess it's going to be serious." Xia Zimo said, his eyes were always on Qiu Luoxue's body.
"Yes, it is the crime of deceiving you to deceive the king, and you will be killed." Qiu Luoxue said in frustration, it seems that he still has to hide his identity.
It is for this reason that the emotional road between Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo will take a long and circuitous road. What about after the roundabout? Will it be the other side of happiness? Or is it another abyss?
