The night was dark, because so much had happened since the day, and most of the people who had been settled in the palace had already slept. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Beiyan is not like the Wu Dynasty in the south, the defense of men and women is far less strict, and Yue Qianqiu can still bump into Xu Houcong, who has just defected here, and the concubine in the palace cheating, so they can also swagger and live in this deep palace.

It's just that since Lord Yue was sent back here, all the Beiyan miscellaneous servants who worked here before have been transferred away, and after Yue Qianqiu was sent back by Xu Houcong, the outer garrison was twice as strict as before. Now I also know how many forbidden soldiers and horses will be patrolling outside in the middle of the night - not only to prevent outsiders from sneaking in, but also to prevent those inside from sneaking out.

And Yue Qianqiu now has the heart and the strength.

At this moment, his whole body was soaked in a deep bath, even if the water was already cold, he still didn't bother to get up. When he killed for the first time during the day, he was so excited that he was surprised, but now that he looked back and recalled the feeling of splitting human limbs and splattering blood, he felt powerless.

Although the little monkey volunteered to help him scrub, how dare he let people see that he was naked. Not to mention anything else, the damn thing on his back is extremely amazing, which is also the biggest reason why he refuses to bathe and change clothes outside and then go back to Changying Palace.

It's just that his long hair had been washed several times in advance before soaking in the bath tub, but the countless blood stains on his body after the murder were really not washed away by a bucket of water. Even if he didn't bother to move a finger, he still had to stand up with a long sigh, intending to wipe it and go out and pour the water in the tub, and then change the water to wash it again.

However, he had barely stepped out of the tub with one foot when he suddenly heard a knock outside the door.

"Chiaki, okay? Are you taking a shower or sleeping? ”

Yue Qianqiu suddenly panicked, the only thing he was glad that he got down the latch and locked the door, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, go to sleep first, I have to change the water again, otherwise this thick smell of blood will not be clean......"

"I know you don't want to wash this bucket of water! Hurry up and open the door, I specially asked someone to boil hot water for you, and the little monkey and Qing Fengnian Zhen Rong have brought the cold water you need to the door for you! ”

How could he have thought that Yan Xu was so thoughtful, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but have a headache, so he could only simply joke and say: "I haven't come out yet, Master, just put the water at the door, I'll come out and carry it myself later!" It's so late, everyone has been waiting all day for me to work, so let's go to sleep. ”

After saying that, he heard silence outside the door for a while, followed by the sound of Yan Xu driving people away, the sound of the little monkey reluctant to leave, and several obviously different chaotic footsteps.

He waited until he was sure that there was almost no sound outside, and thought that the problem had been roughly solved, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard two doors click.

He looked up at the door, and when he saw that the latch was moving slightly, he couldn't care about anything anymore, so he crawled out of the tub in a wet and bare strip, and threw himself behind the door and pressed the latch. But immediately after, he heard Yan Xu's dissatisfied cold snort.

"What? I'm not even allowed to enter? Qianqiu, didn't you hide it from me, the master, even though you had injuries on your body? ”

Feeling the force of the impact coming from the latch, Yue Qianqiu secretly complained to himself, pressing it stubbornly, while praying that the things in this palace would be stronger, and that there would be no tofu scum. But at the same time, he had to explain to Yan Xu bitterly: "Master, it's really not, it's so late, you should go to sleep quickly......"

"I'll count one, two, three, if you dare to prevaricate again, don't blame me for breaking through the door and coming in. You know me, and I do what I say. ”

Regarding Yan Xu's temper, even Yue Xiaosi and Su Shiqi in the world would not know better than Yue Qianqiu, the apprentice who gets along day and night, so he sighed for the first time, and while putting down his hand, he immediately swept to the hanger on the side, picked up the wide soft towel casually, and wrapped it around his body in a knot.

When he turned around, he saw that the latch of the door was moving quickly by something, and when he finally fell to the side, he saw that the door was pushed open, and Yan Xu was holding a thin single-edged knife in his hand, and he couldn't help but jump in his eyelids. What caught him even more off guard was that Yan Xu threw the knife casually, and then strode forward and grabbed the corner of the soft towel on his body.

Yue Qianqiu was so frightened that his soul was gone, he hurriedly grabbed the two corners of his shoulders, but it was as if the coat on Zhen Rong's body couldn't help tearing it before, and the soft towel on his body at this time couldn't compete with the strength of him and Yan Xu. Hearing a hissing sound, a large soft towel broke, and for a moment, he screamed and turned around to escape to the tub.

"What are you running, you kid took off his clothes after practicing martial arts in the past, and when I poured my bucket of well water, it's not that I haven't seen it, and now come to this set with me! Don't move, let me see what's hurting, so weak-hearted! ”

Yue Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately after, his eyes flashed.

Indeed, when he was a child, it was Luo Xia who bathed him, and when he was older, the self-esteem of the traverser was strange, so he never let others do this work again. But when the teacher is strict, he practices martial arts several times a day, sweats and sweats heavy clothes, and if he is impatient and has nothing to do, he has to take a hot bath, and he pours a bucket of cold water on his head at every turn, and this is also the case in Xuandao Hall, anyway, almost all of them are big men, and they are not afraid of others looking at them.

Could it be that the piece of thing on his back is just like what his grandfather said, not as big as Zhen Rong's, only a little bit, so it is not easy to be discovered?

Yue Qianqiu was thinking so, and he had already been carefully examined by Yan Xuti. When he came back to his senses and saw Yan Xu's expression of relief and letting go of his hand, he suddenly moved in his heart, and tried his best to ask in a casual tone: "Master, did you say that you were not injured?" I really didn't lie to you. ”

"It's so sneaky without being hurt...... It's all bad with your father! ”

Yan Xu angrily attributed all the crux to Yue Xiaosi, and then quickly walked outside and brought in two empty buckets, and scooped out the leftover water in the big bath bucket before.

After two trips to see how little was left, he simply rolled up his sleeves and went out directly with the bath bucket, and poured all the water up, so he brushed the bath bucket, moved it back and put it again, added a few buckets of hot and cold water, and tried the water temperature very thoughtfully.

In the whole process, this noble son, who can be regarded as a first-class person in Jinling City, has done a good job, where is there a habit of half-clothes to stretch out his hand to eat and open his mouth. Obviously, in the years when he was wandering alone outside, Yan Dagongzi had already experienced it.

However, Yue Qianqiu, who fell into a stupor, didn't notice a piece of Master's heart. At this moment, his mind was full of mush, full of the words that the old lady Yue had said to him when she poked her finger at his back. After a long time, he climbed back into the bath bucket under Yan Xu's urging, and only when he found that Yan Xu had brought a box of bath beans over, he was shocked.

"Isn't it true that I haven't been hurt somewhere, Master, you can leave it there, and I'll just come by myself!" Yue Qianqiu hurriedly snatched the bath beans as she spoke, followed by scrubbing her whole body again, and lowered her head and asked, "Master, you have seen it all just now, I really don't have any injuries on my body, right?" Speaking of which, it was swept in the back before, and it seems to hurt a little......"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Xu immediately became nervous. He, the twenty-four filial piety master, has always been the most precious apprentice, and today I heard that Yue Qianqiu had just opened meat and killed someone, and he couldn't wait to keep an eye on it all the time. Not only was he afraid that Yue Qianqiu would have any damage on his body, but he was also afraid that something would happen to his apprentice's heart.

"Don't move, let me see again!"

Just now, Yue Qianqiu was afraid that Yan Xu would see the tattoo that the old lady had repeatedly told him to keep secret, but at this time, he turned his heart sideways and made a nonsense for Yan Xu to look at it again. Although the fingers behind his back felt itchy little by little, he didn't care about these at all, just tense his muscles and waited for Yan Xu's answer.

"It's not hurt, you kid was pampered by the old lady! It's like when I was a child, as long as I didn't read well, my mother either scolded or beaten, and even slapped me hard when she was the worst, and I still have several scars on my back. You're so polished, you don't even have a mole! ”

So smooth that there is not even a mole...... So smooth that there are no moles!

Yue Qianqiu only felt a huge shock in his brain, and his first reaction was that he was played by the old lady again. However, after thinking about it, he had deep doubts. Because, at that time, he was afraid of being tricked by the old lady Yue, so he wanted to come to two bronze mirrors to look at the tattoo the size of the fingernail on his back, like a birthmark!

Could it be that the old man took advantage of the time when he was pointing and poking on his back and stuck something on his back? So under the reflection of the two bronze mirrors, the so-called tattoo he saw was fake at all? But why?

Since Yue Ying heard about Zhen Rong's life experience, she suddenly took him back directly in such a gaffe, and then immediately invited the old lady Yue back. And grandpa's actions that day were solemn, not like teasing his grandson.

Thinking about it now, if he really had such an eye-catching mark on his back, he would have had too many opportunities to be exposed as early as when he began to learn martial arts with Yan Xu, and later in the years when he was in the Xuandao Hall. Because he doesn't pay attention to what's on his back anyway, and other people's eyes always have one or two pointed.

Yue Qianqiu didn't even know how he was confused, and the chicken and duck talked about Yan Xu perfunctory. It wasn't until the messy room was finally cleaned up, and then he lay on his back on the rattan mat, that he began to try to remember every word that the old lady Yue had said to him.

"When you are a grandson, I have always hidden it from you."

"At first, I thought that I couldn't raise you for nothing, and I had to let you contribute a little to your family and country, but who made your kid too painful?"

"How can I be willing to throw you to Beiyan to fight to the death again?"

He took a deep breath, and finally rolled over and rolled over, then tried to reverse his hands, rubbing every bit of skin behind him from the left and right. Although this is not easy for many people, he is the head disciple of the Xuandao Hall who has been successful in martial arts, and he didn't do it before because he believed in his eyes, but he did it at this time because he wanted to confirm it again.

When he roughly touched the position where the old lady Yue had poked his fingers several times, he tried several times, and finally put down his hand in despair, his hands fell down suddenly, and the whole person fell into the pillow.

There was no trace, just like Yan Xu said, smooth and smooth. But he also heard in later generations that a skilled tattoo craftsman, after the tattoo is completely healed with a needle, there is no unevenness, and it can be said that it is completely impossible to touch. However, he should always be aware of the subtle difference in whether or not he has a layer of skin, and he should feel completely different when he sweats.

Moreover, Yan Xu had already looked at it carefully with his eyes, and the answer he gave was that there was not even a mole. In these days, there is no such lofty method as laser tattoo washing, so there should be only one answer.

If that's the case, it seems that the so-called truth that the old man told him seriously that day was just a clumsy joke.

He subconsciously moved his hands to his eyes again, stared at them for a moment, and his heart suddenly moved. But at this moment, he only heard a slight click above his head. At that moment, he immediately lowered his hands and adjusted his breathing, as if he was asleep.

The next moment, all the sounds of the roof were gone, as if it were just a wild bird lingering for a moment in the night. But Yue Qianqiu knew that it was not his illusion, and sure enough, after a long wait, he caught a quiet sweet fragrance.
