Chapter 42: Brother Control
Fortunately, he paid the driver more in advance, so that he could speed up, come back first, change into clean clothes, and wash his face.
The garment, stained with fire ash and blood, had been taken off and placed under the bed.
Pretending to have just woken up, he yawned and said that he was bored last night, because it was nearly late, he found an inn outside to rest, and only came back this morning.
Tianqin was a little skeptical, but finally nodded.
After the dismissal, the two brothers finally sat down together for lunch.
"This meat is delicious, fifth brother, you eat a little more......"
"No, third brother, I want to eat and clip it myself. After all, I couldn't shirk it, and several pieces of greasy, fat and thin pork belly came in the bowl. When I remembered the food I ate at the wine table last night, I felt my stomach tumble.
Resist the urge to be nauseous and put the chopsticks aside.
"Third brother, let me ask you, I used to ...... Have you offended anyone? ”
Tianqin just stopped when he heard this sentence. Said with a helpless sigh.
"You are a quiet person, and you will not provoke others for no reason...... I also sent someone to check on your previous distress and disappearance, and I think someone should have deliberately targeted the royal family, and the person behind this should be a powerful organization. ”
"That's weird......" I thought in thought.
"What's the matter, all of a sudden, I asked about this. Tianqin asked.
"By the way, Third Brother, do you believe in the theory of ghosts and gods?" My sentence for no reason made Tianqin's eyes look at him more and more strange.
He put down his chopsticks, looked at himself suspiciously, and said, "Why did I find out today, Fifth Brother, that you often say something confusing, has something happened recently?"
I shook my head and nodded again.
"If you have something, just say it, and the third brother can help you find a way. Tianqin said very frankly and sincerely.
He was sincere and unpretentious to himself, but he felt ashamed of him in his heart.
But even if you tell me everything that happened last night, so what?
He appeared from the east of the city to the west of the city five miles away, only in a blink of an eye. Even if you say it, no one will believe it.
Thinking about being in the fire at that time, I was very anxious and uncomfortable. The passage that blurted out unconsciously, is inexplicably familiar.
A thought came to me, although not very sure, but the words of last night are now in my mind.
He wanted to give it a try.
"Third brother, you promise me, no matter what you see next, how unbelievable it is, please don't be too surprised......"
The more you say this, the stranger it becomes, but it succeeds in arousing people's curiosity.
"It's okay, I can, don't underestimate your brother. Tianqin patted his chest and waved his hand casually.
I put my left hand over his right hand, and then I stopped. The heart gradually accelerated, and the palms of the hands were hot and sweating.
"Preparing for ......" unconsciously felt a little nervous.
"Oops, it's too bad" Tianqin stood up suddenly, and didn't care about the rice grains at the corners of his mouth, and wiped the oil on his mouth with the back of his hand. "Fifth brother, let's talk about it later, I almost forgot that my father set up a banquet for me in the palace today, so let's go together. ”
“......”
Before I could reply, he grabbed my hand and dragged me all the way to the reddish-brown horse outside the door.
Originally, this thing was not used to riding, but now the person who sat behind him and carried himself up, whistling on the road, waved the rope, and the big horse rushed forward with all his might, straight to the imperial city.
This rampage made my stomach very uncomfortable. Tianqin pressed his chin against my neck and looked straight ahead, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
