Chapter 16: Bathing

The corpses in the yard were piled up in a heap, and there were traces of being burned, and all the corpses had one thing in common, that is, they were all headless.

Yuan Chen was stunned in place, and Yuan Shangguang and the soldiers also looked at each other. But Yuan Shizhong opened his mouth first: "Who is so ruthless? ”

Yes, who is it? Yuan Chen also wondered, how could all the heads be gone? Although several people have been beheaded before, but what about the heads? He Yilong and Yuan Zhongzhong were killed, which corpse was them? Ruthless, is it Wu Ruojie? She didn't want to believe it, but she seemed to have to.

"Could it be that just with these headless corpses, you want to tell the old man that you killed He Yilong?" Yuan Shizhong suddenly faced Yuan Chen, his voice was not high, but he asked sharply.

"Well, General Huiyuan. Here's how it ......" Yuan Chen sorted out his thoughts and had to start from the beginning. Of course, she deleted Wu Ruojie's role.

Yuan Shizhong, Yuan Shangguang and others glanced at each other after listening to Yuan Chen's narration. Yuan Shangguang suddenly thought of something and said, "If there is really He Yilong among these corpses, he must have the unique tattoo of Luo Rucai's hand." ”

"That's right! Right! Yuan Zhongli, who was tied up by five flowers, suddenly shouted, "And He Yilong's tattoo is different from our ordinary pawn." We ordinary soldiers just have a simplified pattern of a gong tattooed on it. As for He Yilong's identity, there should also be a vertical line tattooed on the edge of his gong, referring to the gong hammer......"

"Search!" Yuan Shangguang gave the order, and several soldiers responded to the call to examine the body.

"There it is!" After a while, a soldier shouted.

A headless corpse was lying on the ground, burly and obviously burned, but the pattern Yuan Zhongli said could still be seen on his chest - a large circle and a vertical line next to it.

"Haha," Yuan Shizhong said with a smile, "Although I can't be sure that this is He Yilong, but this must be a high-ranking general under Luo Rucai." As he spoke, he pointed at Yuan Chen, "It seems that you have made meritorious contributions." ”

"And the small, and the small? The small ones are also indispensable! Yuan Chen didn't speak, but Yuan Zhongli rushed to say.

"You?" Yuan Shizhong glanced at him and said with a smile, "Your brother is pretending to be an old man, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet." Dare to ask for credit? ”

"General Yuan," Yuan Zhongli grinned, "my brother pretended to be your old man, but it has nothing to do with me, I also know that he is doing this in a big rebellion, so I didn't ...... with him."

"Humph!" Yuan Shizhong said disdainfully, "I think you are just complicit." Without further ado, find your brother's body first, and then the old man will judge the crime according to the situation. ”

"Yes! Be! Yuan Zhongli hurriedly responded, "My brother's body is easy to recognize, he ...... In one battle, he lost half of his testicles. ”

Everyone in the courtyard laughed, but Yuan Chen turned his head with a red face, thinking to himself, the person who was missing half of his testicles could even take a woman out to mess around last night. Yuan Shangguang glanced at Yuan Chen, and with a wave of his hand, the soldier checked the corpse again. Soon, Yuan Zhongzhong's body was also found.

The soldiers searched the courtyard again and found two female bodies in the left gatehouse, one with a pierced heart and the other with a severed carotid artery.

"Looks like you're skilled enough." Yuan Shizhong said to Yuan Chen.

"Ah, it's ......" Yuan Chen responded, thinking, even this veteran of this era has commented like this, it seems that Wu Ruojie's murderous tricks are really terrifying. But I don't know why, he has never done anything to himself, but he protects him everywhere......

Just thinking about it, Yuan Shangguang stepped forward and said, "Daddy, the child has already checked everything, and there is no situation in the other rooms." ”

"Hmm." Yuan Shizhong nodded, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he turned around and asked Yuan Chen, "Did you do all this alone last night?" ”

Yuan Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"After these people were beheaded, their heads were thrown in the courtyard. After you killed He Yilong and them, you didn't cut off your head, so you went to Xiangyang. But now their heads are gone, what do you think? Yuan Shizhong asked again.

"I ...... I do not know. Yuan Chen thought for a while and said. She really didn't know.

"There are two possibilities," Mr. Yuan said, "and first, the heads were taken away by the rebels, leaving behind some headless corpses in order to confuse the public." Second, these heads were taken away by the rebels for a reward. ”

After listening to Yuan Shizhong's words, the people present all nodded. However, Yuan Chen suddenly felt creepy, could it really be Wu Ruojie? It was terrifying that he could do such a heinous thing on the road with so many heads.

"However," Yuan Shizhong continued, "if it was taken away by the rebels, why didn't he take He Yilong's body away?" If it was taken away by the rebels, why did they take away the heads of several rebel brothers who had been beheaded before, but leave the corpses behind? ”

After hearing this, the people present all shook their heads one after another, expressing their incomprehension. However, Yuan Chen finally decided that Wu Ruojie did it, but he didn't know what his purpose was. He has always done things like this, which is incomprehensible.

"Anyway, we got good news today." Yuan Shizhong also said, "He Yilong, the last general of the rebel army, was killed. The rebels have been wiped out by us. ”

There was a cheer in the courtyard.

"Thanks to our brother, the assistant of the Flying Fox, his name is ...... By the way, what's your name? Yuan Shizhong pulled Yuan Chen over and asked.

"Your Excellency, General!" Yuan Zhongli suddenly interjected, "I am also a meritorious person, can you let me go?" ”

"Shut up!" Yuan Shizhong angrily reprimanded, "You are also a meritorious person? Do you know how much criticism you will suffer if you pretend to be an old man? Released you? If I don't let you go, I've already spared you! ”

As soon as Yuan Shizhong's voice fell, he saw Yuan Shangguang step forward, grabbed Yuan Zhongli, raised it above his head, and then slammed it on his knee.

With a "click", Yuan Zhongli was almost broken by his waist, screamed, and died.

Yuan Shizhong didn't even look at it, and said to the soldiers in the courtyard: "If you meet someone surnamed Yuan again in the future, you should strictly check it, otherwise there will be someone who pretends to be an old man, pretends to be an old man's son, and pretends to be an old man's seven relatives, wouldn't it damage the old man's reputation?" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers should arrive.

"So, brother." Yuan Shizhong pulled Yuan Chen over again and said, "I said half of what I said just now. Haven't asked your name yet? ”

"I," Yuan Chen paused, she wanted to report her real name just now, but when she heard Yuan Shizhong's meaning, she seemed to avoid others and his surname, so she changed her words, "My name is Chen Yuanyuan." But after that, she regretted it a little, regretting that she didn't think much about it and reported her usual screen name. In this era, Chen Yuanyuan is such a famous woman, can Yuan Shizhong not know? Even if the name is renamed, this is a female name, and I am dressed as a man, isn't this going to be exposed?

However, Yuan Shizhong didn't criticize it, but after laughing "haha", he said to everyone: "I've seen Guard Chen." ”

Everyone, including Yuan Shangguang, saluted Yuan Chen. Yuan Chen saw that everyone was not suspicious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way back, Yuan Shizhong left first with a group of guards. Only Yuan Shangguang, Yuan Chen, and dozens of soldiers were left to march slowly. Yuan Shangguang was talking without a partner, and Yuan Chen also responded with a partner.

The sun was already in the west, and the sunlight used the branches as ladders, climbing down one grid at a time, and the light that was not scorching reflected on Yuan Chen's face, making her feel very warm. Yes, the autumn sunset is like this, which often makes people nostalgic and makes people have infinite reverie. At this moment, she is thinking about Wu Ruojie. If there is his company in this idyllic scenery, it must be a perfect picture.

In reverie, Yuan Chen gradually lay on the horse's back and fell asleep groggyly. She was so tired.

I don't know how long I slept, Yuan Chen woke up. When she awoke, she found herself lying on a large bed covered with crisp silk sheets, covered with a satin quilt and pillowing with tea-scented linen pillows. Next to the bed, the large bed was held together by the ayara curtain.

Yuan Chen got up, lifted the curtains, and his eyes widened in surprise.

It is an antique room with dark red window frames and lintels depicting colorful patterns. Mahogany table and chair cabinets with gold trim in the corners. The pine floor is covered with a Persian blanket in the center. At this moment, there is a large bathtub on the carpet, dozens of fragrant waxes are lit on the side of the bathtub, illuminating the room brightly, the water in the basin is steaming, floating rose petals, and there are six maids standing next to the bathtub, one with a hand towel, one with a bath towel, one with honey locust spices, one with a teapot and a teacup, one with snacks and fruits, and one with incense. When several maids saw Yuan Chen wake up, they knelt down and saluted, and said in unison, "Please take a bath." ”

Yuan Chen was taken aback, calmed down, and remembered the scenes of film and television dramas. After a day and a night of hard work, she really wanted to take a bath, but who would be too embarrassed to take a bath in front of everyone? What's more, he is now pretending to be a man, if he takes a bath, won't he have to wear a gang? Besides, how could these girls be so embarrassed to serve a man in a bath?

Yuan Chen was hesitating, and as soon as there was a knock on the door, Yuan Shangguang walked in.

He walked to Yuan Chen's side and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, are you awake?" Tired of it, right? Let's take a shower and then we'll go to dinner. ”

Yuan Chen nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I'm not used to being served, you let them out." ”

"Ha," Yuan Shangguang said with a smile, "Don't worry, these are servants, it's okay." ”

"No!" Yuan Chen shook his head resolutely, "Let them go out." ”

"Well, okay." Yuan Shangguang hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, and the maids put down the things in their hands and exited the door.

"You go out too." Yuan Chen said to Yuan Shangguang.

"Me?" Yuan Shangguang said, "I'll stay and talk to you." ”

"No, you don't." Yuan Chen said, "I'm used to taking a bath by myself. ”

"Well, well. I'll be waiting for you downstairs. After Yuan Shangguang finished speaking, he walked out of the door.

Yuan Chen locked the door and came to the window again.

This is the second floor and the garden looks out of the window. At this moment, the moon was already in the treetops, and the garden was quiet. She relieved herself a little, came to the bathtub, sat on the stool, just untied her clothes, but tied them uneasily, then stood up, blew out the dozens of candles around her one by one, leaving only two to illuminate, and then returned to the stool and sat down, pulled out the gun from her waist, put it aside, and then untied her clothes.

Yuan Chen raised his legs and sat on the edge of the bathtub. Although it is a "basin", it is very large, not to mention that she washes it alone, even if she washes five people at the same time, it will not be crowded at all.

She poked her foot into the water first, and a feeling of comfort instantly numbed her whole body. She closed her eyes and put her other foot in as well.

The water slowly submerged her calves, thighs, buttocks, waist, chest, and neck, and she finally submerged in the water. The water was slightly warm, and she leaned against the wall of the basin with her eyes closed, feeling very comfortable. Although I often take a bath at home, I am not as comfortable as this time. It was a real treat.

Yuan Chen first washed off the dust and mud that had been crawling for a day, and then cleaned some small wounds from the explosion the day before, and after smearing his whole body with honey locusts, he leaned against the wall of the basin again. After a while, she lifted one leg high out of the water and stroked it with both hands.

Yuan Chen's legs are very straight, and there is not the slightest fat in his calves, but they are not muscular, but smooth and moist just right. Perhaps because she was never exposed, her feet were slender. Wasn't Wu Ruojie also fascinated by it? It seems that she is indeed a beauty. She thought. Since he has just admitted that his name is Chen Yuanyuan, he has to play the role of Chen Yuanyuan well. When I have the opportunity to meet Chen Yuanyuan himself in the future, I must compare with her who is more beautiful. However, my breasts are not very full, I don't know what methods can be improved in ancient times? When I return to modern times one day, I can bring the therapy back, and it will definitely be loved by the majority of female compatriots. She soaked in the water, stroked her breasts, and thought wildly.

After soaking for a long time, Yuan Chen was sweating profusely, and the sweat flowed down his cheeks and dripped into the water. She dipped her head in the water, held her breath for a while, then poked it out, and when she was sweating profusely, she dipped her head into the water again, and so on several times, she felt sweaty and exhausted.

She got up and took some snacks, devoured them, felt her strength recover a little, picked up the teapot and teacup, poured a cup of tea and drank it, she still felt very thirsty, so she simply picked up the teapot, and drank most of the pot to the spout.

When she sat back in the water, she felt much more comfortable, she had almost washed up, and she didn't sweat much, and after holding her breath again, she got up and stepped out of the tub.

Yuan Chen wrapped the bath towel around his body, and picked up the hand towel to wipe his hair. The ancient hand towel was not as soft as the modern towel, so Yuan Chen had a hard time wiping it, and finally simply untied the bath towel and wiped it.

was wiping, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, only to hear Yuan Shangguang shouting: "Brother Chen, have you washed it?" ”

The latch of the door was pushed by Yuan Shangguang and creaked, Yuan Chen was startled, and hurriedly blocked the bath towel in front of him, "Wash...... Washed up. ”

There was no movement outside, and she was wondering, when suddenly a door opened on the other side of the room, and it turned out that there were two doors in this room, in addition to the main entrance, there was also a corner door.

I saw Yuan Shangguang push open the corner door and walk in, Yuan Chen saw this, and screamed "ah" in fright.
