The little beggar drank tea in the tea house, ate a cage of meat buns, and finally wrapped two catties of beef in lotus leaves before leaving happily.

Although the shopkeeper of the tea house did not have good luck and made an unexpected windfall, he finally earned some money from the little beggar, and counted the broken silver in his hand happily, and his eyes narrowed into a gap with a smile.

After leaving the tea house with two catties of beef, the little beggar first walked around the main street of the town twice, and after making sure that no one was following him, he went around to the root of a rather remote courtyard wall in the street, where there were already people waiting here.

"Uncle, I have quietly passed those words to the people in the tea house according to your explanation, I have carefully observed, after I finished saying that, the two men sitting in the corner of the tea house left one after another, one went straight to the direction of the outside of the town, and the other seemed to go in the direction of the Tianfu Inn."

The man who was called the uncle stepped out of the shadows in the corner.

A bamboo-blue robe lined with him is extremely outstanding, and his temperament is indifferent, and if you look closely, isn't it Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng looked at the little beggar in front of him with satisfaction, quite satisfied with his expression.

According to the agreement, he took out a bag of silver from his bosom and sent it to him, seeing that the little beggar did not show any greed after receiving the silver, and still looked unfazed, and became even more curious about the small child in front of him.

"Boy, are you really from this Taiping Town?"

The little beggar opened a pair of dark eyes and looked at Yuan Feng calmly, "Uncle, I will do things for you, and if you pay me, we will not owe each other, as for what kind of person I am, it seems that it is not included in my remuneration for doing things for you." ”

Oops, hey?! This kid is quite defensive.

Looking at this unkind little beggar, the smile on the corner of Yuan Feng's mouth became thicker and thicker, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, what about your parents?" Is there anyone else in the family? ”

When it comes to her parents, the little beggar's calm eyes are rippling with a layer of light, and the color of grief is faintly visible, it seems that the child's parents should be no longer alive.

"Does the uncle have any other orders? If not, I'll go. The little beggar still didn't answer any questions from Yuan Feng, but directly said what he wanted to say.

Yuan Feng was not angry at all about the little beggar's attitude, but admired this child very much, and for a while, he actually moved his mind that he had never had before.

"Hey, are you interested in following me? Anyway, you don't have any family around you, and it's precarious to live by begging, so it's better to follow me, I'll give you food and clothing, and teach you skills, how about it? ”

The little beggar didn't expect to hear such words from the man in front of him, and his brain was a little dull for a while.

However, he has already experienced a lot of things, and he has long looked down on people's warmth and coldness, and even has hostility towards many people in this world; Therefore, after reacting, there was no gratitude on his face, but indifference.

"Since I was a child, I have known a truth, that is, there is no pie in the sky, uncle, look at you dressed like a scholar, but your behavior just now is not something that a scholar can do; I live a life of begging, although I often don't have enough to eat, but at least I can barely save my life, but if I follow you, I feel that it is a real danger. ”

This was the first time Yuan Feng had heard such words, and he looked at the little beggar in front of him with bright eyes, and his heart was full of admiration.

At such a young age, you can gain insight into the world to such a profound extent, and if you cultivate it in the future, you may not know what kind of person you will become.

It's a pity that this kid is too guarded, even if he has a heart*, people don't want him.

Thinking that he would be disliked by a little beggar, Yuan Feng was a little crying and laughing, "Child, I have a fate with you, you think about it, if you want to follow me, you know where to find me, if you don't want to, just like you said, the road is facing the sky, let's go to the side, you are your little beggar, I will continue to be a poor scholar with my mysterious identity." ”

After speaking, Yuan Feng didn't stop, and went back directly in the direction he came.

On the contrary, it was this little beggar who looked at Yuan Feng's dashing back and looked at it for a long time, and finally, he hugged the bag of silver in his arms, and his eyes showed mature emotions that did not belong to his age.

……

After Chu Xingyue returned to the guest room, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

However, as soon as she closed her eyes, the figure of the Lantern Festival squatting on the tree kept floating in front of her eyes, although the figure was faint, but only she knew that it was the damage and shock caused by this shadow to her.

As long as she thought that Zhao Ling was still guarding against her, Chu Xingyue felt that her heart was throbbing violently, her eyes couldn't help but be sour, and she had the urge to cry one after another.

She is an ordinary man, knows the warmth and cold, knows the taste, when a heart has been soaked in the honey pot for a long time, it will inevitably be a little shaken; At the beginning, after discovering that her soul had passed through, she thought about leaving Zhao Ling and leaving the capital, but she didn't expect that before she left, her heart had already fallen here.

She didn't look down on herself, and it seemed reasonable that she would lose under Zhao Ling's gentle offensive and quietly secretly promised her heart, but she hated herself for being blind, and secretly liked him when she didn't know whether the other party was a good person, and even disregarded her own life for him many times.

Now that she remembered that everything she had done for him in the past seemed to have turned into one ridiculous joke after another, and the sound of ridicule kept ringing in her ears.

Chu Xingyue lay quietly on the bed, her ears seemed to have auditory hallucinations, and there was laughter lingering all the time, after a long time, she gradually lost her patience, and in the end, she couldn't sleep, she sat up violently in anger, and suddenly opened her eyes wide.

It's just that when she opened her eyes, she was startled by the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, and almost let out an exclamation, covering her pounding heart, with obvious fright on her face.

"You guy, why don't you say a word when you come back, and you walk quietly, which scares me to death."

Looking at Chu Xingyue, whose pretty face was indeed frightened, Zhao Ling forced a smile, slowly approached, came to the bedside, and sat down.

"This king has already come in, and I see that you seem to be asleep, so I deliberately lowered the footsteps, but I didn't expect you to suddenly open your eyes and sit up, but this king was also startled by you."

After speaking, Zhao Ling picked up a slightly sweaty strand of hair on Chu Xingyue's forehead, carefully pinned it behind her ear, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Why don't you sleep?" What does it seem like to look like on your face? Would you like to talk to the king? ”

Now looking at the person she likes, Chu Xingyue's heart has mixed feelings, and the hand on the brocade quilt slowly tightened, "It's nothing, but you, don't you have something to do?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

"This king misses you and doesn't want to leave you for a moment, so he hurriedly finished explaining and came back to see you and accompany you."

Zhao Ling seemed to not see Chu Xingyue's fingers gently clenched into fists, and gently squeezed the delicate little hand in his palm. In his ears, there were words from Yunxiao when he reported to him just now: Yuan Feng held the princess's hand, but the princess did not break free.

A cold and indifferent smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Ling's mouth, just one Zhao Xuan is not enough, do you want to add a Yuan Feng now? What's so good about that kid, except that the face is a little good-looking, where can he compare to him?

While thinking about it, Zhao Ling slowly increased his strength while holding Chu Xingyue's hand, and in the end, until he heard Chu Xingyue's soft cry of pain, he raised his head and looked at her, "I'm sorry, Yue'er's hands are so beautiful and too soft, this king can't control his strength when he pinched it, and almost hurt you." ”

Looking at Zhao Ling who apologized, Chu Xingyue didn't notice the half apology from him at all, and even, she felt that Zhao Ling was a little strange now, and she couldn't say what was strange.

It just feels like he's angry now, and he's not angry.

Chu Xingyue wanted to pull out the innocent pinched red hand, but as soon as she moved, Zhao Ling increased the force in her hand again, making her unable to move anymore.

Facing such a Zhao Ling, Chu Xingyue was a little scared, "Zhao, Zhao Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”

"......" Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyue with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Xingyue swallowed her saliva uneasily and said, "I always feel like you have something to say to me, did I do something wrong?" You seem to be angry. ”

When Zhao Ling heard her say this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper, and his tone became softer and softer, "Fool, what are you thinking, how can this king be angry with you, you are the favorite person in this king's life." ”

Yes! Chu Xingyue finally knew that there was something strange about Zhao Ling now.

He has been talking to her all the time, and what he says blurts out, and what he says without thinking about it, he can pinch it casually like an endorsement; This kind of Zhao Ling is very different from him who was not good at sweet words in the past, as if he was stimulated by something and deliberately behaved in front of her.

Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyue, who was looking at him, and continued to smile and said to her, "What about you? Do you have anything to say to me? Yue'er, you must know that we are husband and wife, and we are all going to be together for the rest of our lives; Since you are a person who wants to live for a lifetime, do you have to be honest with each other? I know that your daughter's family likes to hide secrets, in fact, as long as it is harmless, this king will not ask in detail, but if there is something important, it is not good. ”

"When this king catches prisoners on the battlefield, he often says a word to them, that is, honestly explain that this king will give them a way to live, if some people don't know the current affairs, resist death, and believe in this king, their fate will not be too good."

Chu Xingyue's fingers began to gradually get colder, according to her understanding of Zhao Ling, there must be a reason why he said such strange things, what was the reason?

Could it be that Yunxiao said something to him? But she asked herself, she had never done anything to be sorry for him, and naturally there was no need to be an 'honest' captive as he said.

Moreover, Chu Xingyue had a lot of opinions about Zhao Ling who said such a thing.

Obviously, he didn't trust her first, and it was obviously he who made the move to hurt the feelings between their husband and wife first, but how could in the end, listening to his tone, the wrong person seemed to be her?!
