Chapter Twenty-One: And Paint with Blood
Sage clouds, only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients did not deceive people.
Su Qinghuang lay miserably in his room, laboriously smeared his swollen buttocks like a steamed bun with ointment, the little maids were ordered by the girl, no one was allowed to approach this room, Su Qinghuang was self-reliant, and it took a lot of effort to wipe it evenly.
I thought that I had entered the country a lot in the past half a month, there was Wu Muxin's sparring every night, and with the super system absorbing aura day and night to nourish his body, Su Qinghuang was confident, that is, now he could pass the Yuan sledgehammer under Yang Baldzi's hands, but he didn't expect to be planted in Wu Muxin's hands today, and he didn't have the strength to fight back like a little doll, not to mention, he was embarrassed in front of the people.
In the end, even Xiao Yun, who had a stable temperament, covered her eyes and couldn't bear to look at it, if it weren't for the remaining ointment from before, Su Qinghuang felt that she would have to stay out of bed for three or four days.
The chatter in the courtyard, listening to the voice of the ghost elf's cumin, Wu Muxin was sitting in the courtyard and embroidering gold thread on Xiao Yun's sleeve. Xiao's voice was very high, and she didn't shy away from others when she spoke, and Su Qinghuang could hear it clearly in the room.
"Li Xianyan of the Li family has been waiting outside the door to see the girl, who is he, I have only heard of Li Fengyan, who is more annoying than the young master, but I have never heard of such a number one person as Li Xianyan. It was the voice of Xiao Yan, the little girl was spoiled by Wu Muxin on weekdays, and she didn't speak big or small, but Su Qing and Huang didn't have much prestige in the Su family for so many years, and now she is a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, so she can only pinch her horn braids more on weekdays to get angry.
He is Li Fengyan's sissy brother, he has not shown mountain dew since he was a child, he looks gentle and humble on weekdays, but the calculation in his bones is not comparable to Li Fengyan. Pushing the door out, Su Qinghuang said Kankan.
"How do you know. Xiao Cumin was always full of doubts about Su Qinghuang's every word. Not only her, but even Wu Muxin raised her good-looking willow eyebrows, these are the secrets of the Li family, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to know, and she only knows a rough idea.
"yes, how do I know. Su Qinghuang whispered to himself and said to himself. I only knew that when Li Xianyan was mentioned just now, these fragments popped up in his mind, which had nothing to do with the super system, but more like the dusty memories of the former Su Qinghuang.
"You, are you still there?"
"Do you want me to send him out on this big night? Xiao Cun opened his mouth and proposed, which was very much Su Qinghuang's thoughts, Wu Muxin also bowed his head lightly and did not object, Xiao Cun, who had obtained the approval, was just about to get up, when a voice broke the silence came from outside the courtyard at this time.
"Knowing that Miss Wu was in the house, Li Xianyan came to visit. The voice is polite and sincere, but the words are clear and cannot be refused.
The words have come to this, and the two little girls are going to open the door to welcome the guests. At this time, the sky is slightly dark, and it is not the middle of the night, but it is quite rude to visit a woman who is still in the boudoir at dusk, and even the two little girls know this truth. Sure enough, Xiao Cumin's originally good face was visibly gloomy to the naked eye, as if someone owed her a few hundred taels of silver.
But then Su Qinghuang did something more shocking than the late visit of outsiders, so that Xiao Cun, who boasted that she had seen the world with the girl, was so shocked that she didn't even know how to say anything.
Pulling Wu Muxin's greasy hand and getting up, he Su didn't seem to realize how inappropriate his behavior was, and Wu Muxin didn't struggle, so the two went to Su Qinghuang's house in disbelief from the little maids, and then closed the door.
"It is. Xiao Cumin had to say something, and Xiao Yun hurriedly pulled away with a small step, only a sentence or two mixed with the wind was really annoying, the girl smiled and so on, her voice was sweet.
In the inner room, Su Qinghuang stood aside with a plain brocade hairband in his hand, helplessly tried many times and couldn't straighten out the woman's full hair, his dexterous hands on weekdays were now as unruly as Zhang Fei who took an embroidered shoe, and he was hastily cleaned up, and finally couldn't resist the shallow cold knife in Wu Muxin's eyes, so he had no choice but to give up.
"I really can't do it. Su Qinghuang looked at the suffocating green silk that was still beautiful even if it was messy, twisted his fingers unwillingly, and said with a self-deprecating smile.
But Wu Muxin, who was sitting in front of the mirror, didn't have any dissatisfaction, just looked up, and inexplicably felt that those handsome eyes were so clean today, clean like a pool of well water used to boil medicinal herbs when he was a child.
Sighing, Wu Muxin raised his hand and lightly untied the very rough hair band, his long hair hung down like a waterfall, but it was a pity that this magnificent and thrilling scenery like clouds and smoke dancing, except for him Su Qinghuang, there was only a bronze mirror that was not many years old.
A thread, a strand of hair, was deftly braided into a knot by Su Yu's slender fingers, and then gently retied the ribbon, at this moment, the world was overshadowed.
"Well, I'm satisfied this time. The beauty's fingers wrapped around the extra hair, no longer as holy as before, and the always calm and elegant face showed impatient sorrow against the bronze mirror, exhaled a long breath, and said with a little complaint.
"Haha. Gently smelling the fragrance of the hair that had just been stained on his hands, Su Qinghuang pushed the door out in a comfortable mood, only to feel that the sullenness in his heart before was swept away, and even the heat on his buttocks was much lighter.
"It's really troublesome, it's better to get a cloak with a hood. Wu Muxin, who was left alone in the house, looked at Su Qinghuang who went out, complained to the bronze mirror, and straightened out the tight coat that Su Qinghuang had put on his body like a sack.
"Isn't it even more messy to say that your hair and clothes are too messy to meet customers? ”
"What a man, a cautious man. ”
Qingjun, Xufu.
"Master, the armament matter has been taken care of, and it will be delivered next month. ”
"Hmm. Xu Xiao snorted lightly with satisfaction, did not look up, a paint-soaked brush on the three-foot gold flower paper from time to time a few strokes, a few moments, most of the rouge BMW has been formed on the drawing paper.
"The people from above want to draw out fifty people from the Qingjun who are under the five realms of quenching, and say that they are the front-line ......."
"Let him. Xu Xiao said softly, without a trace of anger as ordinary words, but it made the old butler who had been with him for decades have a kind of fear from the bottom of his bones.
"But sir, this time it was the cronies around the king who came in person. ”
"My Qingjun Erlang naturally doesn't have a bad seed, that is, he will die on the battlefield in the future, and it is worth it without a name or a point. But what is his king eunuch, if he is based on him today, my parents will not be punctured by the people of our Qingjun County, it will really be a waste of living in the world. Picking up the rice wine on the table, Xu Xiao smiled and drank a glass lightly, Xu was choked, and after a glass, he couldn't stop coughing, and the old housekeeper at the bottom just wanted to step forward, but Xu Xiao waved his hand to stop it.
"Tell the messenger that if he doesn't want to die tomorrow at the mouth of this Qingjun alley, give me a starry night out of the city, as long as he still dares to be in my Qingjun jurisdiction tomorrow, no matter the ends of the world, I will take his dog's life." Xu Xiao lightly put down this sentence, and continued to paint with the ink pen in his hand.
"The old slave knows. Arching his hand, the old butler wanted to persuade him more, but he didn't say anything, and he assisted this man who also had almost thirty years of cold and summer, and his temperament was as pure as the red brown horse in the stable, and the eight horses couldn't pull back any serious things, and the old butler had already felt the door, so he could only retire and close the door.
Helplessly, he sighed heavily at the door, not because of Xu Xiao's stubborn donkey temper, but because of his body, a person in the realm of the court, who had long been invasive, how could he be choked by a glass of rice wine and coughed. This Qingjun's millions of lives are tied to one shoulder, how can he bear it if he has no courage.
"Ahem, still, I'm old. In the silent room, only Xu Xiao's chuckling whisper and subtle but continuous coughing remained.
Lang Zhong in the house had already said that he wanted to quit drinking, but he Xu Xiao had drunk for more than 30 years, which was so easy to put down, so he could only drink some light rice wine on weekdays to relieve his cravings, and picked up the wine glass burned out of the yellow clay kiln, and the yellow wine and amber in the cup were cloudy and poured out an unreal shadow.
"My lord, Wumei County, Sanshan County, Qiantang Mansion, and Shaobo Mansion were all attacked and harassed by bandits, with more than 1,000 casualties and more than 100 houses destroyed. "The courtyard outside is the heavy snow of goose feathers, and inside, it is Xu Xiao's loud and smaller and smaller struggles at the beginning.
"If we can't exterminate the mountains as soon as possible, the lives of the people will not be guaranteed, and they will be cold. ”
"Okay, you only need to be responsible for the internal security of the people of Qingjun, how can you decide the affairs of a little Xu Xiao, don't think that you can point fingers in front of this official after you have obtained fame, which one of these people, I haven't read the sage books for decades to get to this position." In the first place, the fat-headed and big-eared county guard waved his hand impatiently with the gilded beast ear heater in his arms, and reprimanded Xu Xiao sharply, obviously disdainful of the bandits on the surrounding dozen or so mountains.
"Okay, let's go back, isn't it good to hide at home for three or nine days and enjoy Qingfu. ”
"That's it, is the entire Qingjun people dead, I need you Xu Xiao to come forward. ”
Outside is full of poor people who can't survive this snow and die on the streets, and these people in the house, a casual fur jacket can cover their family's expenses for ten years.
That year, Xu Xiao, who had tasted indifference and white eyes, didn't know that the big bosses in these villages would send someone to send a large box of gold to the county guard on the last day of every month, and a large box of each village.
"Ahem. ”
drank the rest of the wine jug, and the mellow rice wine still couldn't suppress the surging heat in Xu Xiao's chest. If someone else is there at this time, you will find that with each light gasp, the slightest trace of blood dripped from his mouth, and finally stained the painting.
Sure enough, only carmine mixed with blood can best draw the charm of this sweaty and bloody horse. ”
Xu Xiao muttered, just.
"Xu Xiao, wine, is it delicious?" Behind the screen, there was a woman's voice suddenly, the voice was as gentle as water, but it was enough to make Xu Xiao, who was used to licking blood from the knife edge, immediately fell on his forehead.
Xu Xiao hid the cup in his sleeve with a weak heart, lowered his head and said resignedly: "No, I didn't drink it, I just smelled it." ”
Who would have thought that Xu Dajunshou, who was so heroic and heroic in front of people, would look like this in front of his wife.
"Don't you know how to cherish your body, now you are no longer the Xu Monkey who was alone in the past, but Xu Junshou, who has millions of Li people and needs to work hard for them. In the end, the woman's voice was already complaining.
Xu Xiao turned his head to look at the screen, and sighed softly: "It's just that sometimes this burden is really much heavier than I imagined, take a sip, and it won't be next time." ”
"Did his surname Wang, after all, hit Qingjun with his idea?" asked the woman, who was only behind the screen the whole time, and did not show up.
Xu Xiao secretly turned the wine glass in his hand into powder, sprinkled it in the hidden place at the corner of the table, and inadvertently swept it away with his feet, and then said: "Yes, these hands and feet have been wandering outside Qingjun City for three years, and finally I can't help but want to reach in." ”
After speaking, the wind blew in the room, and a few pieces of rice paper on the table were rolled up.
The woman said softly, "Look, the wind is blowing." ”
Xu Xiao stood up, cleaned up the messy rice paper, pen and ink on the table, and muttered: "It's not the wind, it's in Qingjun, this wind has never stopped." ”
