Chapter 0206 - Painting the Ground as a Dungeon
In the fog, I don't know how long I have been asleep, Su Zhen kept reincarnating in her dreams and saw the scene where she was killed by lightning in her previous life, and there was nothing else.
Suffering from the power of thunder over and over again, she was in pain.
"Dead fox! I'm going to fry you 10,000 times! ”
Su Zhen yelled and sat up from the bed suddenly. Because he had not completely detached himself from the dream, the monstrous murderous intent and anger on his face fell directly into the eyes of the man not far away.
After a few breaths, Su Zhen finally came to her senses, looked at the unfamiliar black bed curtain and brocade quilt above her head, rubbed her temples, and asked casually, "Mosheng, where is this!" ”
"My bedroom."
Hearing this voice, Su Zhen paused, stiffened her head, and found that this was really not her Jinsexuan.
The room was slightly dimly lit, and the rosewood shelves on the right were full of military books. On the left front wall is a vermilion hollow window, and on the low long table below, there is a fine brocade, and in addition to the four treasures of the study, there is also the black jade Buddha statue that Xiao Chuhong had glimpsed in the carriage before.
Xiao Chuhong sat on the futon behind the table and flipped through the military book, and from Su Zhen's point of view, he noticed that he had put away the cold breath that had been all over his body during the day. The faint yellow candlelight reflected on the angular side of his face, revealing a hint of softness, as if he no longer rejected people thousands of miles away.
"General Xiao? This is the General's Mansion?! You saved me? ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Chuhong's light tone made Su Zhen have more doubts, and she didn't know where to start.
She scratched her head and smiled slightly, sweet to the bone.
Xiao Chuhong looked at her clean smile, and remembered the ruthless Su Zhen she had seen in that mansion before.
"Uh... General Xiao, thank you for saving your life. ”
She lifted the brocade quilt, sat up from the bed, and found that only her middle coat was left on her body, she was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Huh?" Where's my clothes?! ”
"Dirty, burned."
In three simple words, Su Zhen was like being struck by lightning, "What? Go up in flames?! I... I... You...... My clothes, this ...... That ......"
Seeing that she was at a loss and stumbling in her speech, Xiao Chuhong couldn't hold back a smile, "I just took off your robe, I wanted to help you change your dressing, but you punched and kicked in your sleep, so I had to give up." ”
The boulder fell in Su Hao's heart, and her lips pursed lightly, like a danguo, "By the way, General Xiao, how could it be that you saved me?" ”
"On the way back from Jiyuefang before, I heard that someone met an assassin, I blindly guessed that something should have happened to you......" Xiao Chuhong paused between words, "I didn't expect that I didn't hear the little song of the girl from Jiyuefang tonight, but Zhenzhen, you let General Ben watch a good show." ”
Su Zhen's ears were a little hot because of her weak heart, so she decided to take the initiative and said confidently, "Since you have been here, you didn't come to save us!" ”
Xiao Chuhong put the military book on the table, got up from the wheelchair, and walked slowly towards Su Zhen.
The tall figure stood in front of the bed, Su Hao's expression became solemn, and she looked at him vigilantly, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was ready to attack.
Xiao Chuhong suddenly leaned down, supported the bed with both hands, took Su Zhen into his arms, and looked at her condescendingly, with a sneer in his eyes, and a warm and slightly ridiculous voice crossed her ears.
"If I make a move, won't I be able to see with my own eyes the true strength of our eldest prince Su?"
Su Zhen's ears were hot, her uncomfortable body leaned down, her eyes flashed, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"Those Taoist priests are strong in spells, but you can kill them all on your own, it seems that I still underestimate you."
"Didn't the general already know that I knew the Xuanhuang technique? It's just that I didn't say if I knew a little about fur or if I was skilled in magic. ”
Xiao Chuhong chuckled lightly and didn't say no, "In Jiyue Fang before, Zhen Zhen, didn't you call me Brother Yue?" Why is there no one in private now, and it is unfamiliar again? You deliberately smear the reputation of General Ben, should you be punished? ”
Su Zhen laughed dryly, "Uh... That one...... I just wanted to play a joke on the general. ”
"Jokes?"
Xiao Chuhong's eyes narrowed slightly, full of danger.
"yes, yes! I'm cheap, don't be serious with me. You see, it's not too early, I'll go home first, and I'll thank you for saving my life another day. ”
Su Hao's eyes were uncertain, and she wanted to get out from under Xiao Chuhong's arm, but he grabbed her wrist.
"General, what's wrong? What else do you command? She smiled flatteringly.
"It's cool at night."
Xiao Chuhong took off his robe and draped it over her body.
Due to the large difference in body shape between the two, this robe directly completely wrapped her body, and the chill on her body was also dispelled a lot.
Su Hao's heart warmed, lowered her head, and asked in a low voice, "Why have you been secretly helping me all the time?" ”
"If it weren't for your gift of medicine, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Having said that, what Xiao Chuhong thinks in his heart, I'm afraid only he knows.
"I thought that when you came back this time, you would clear the stigma of Marshal Xiao with great fanfare. At that time, those people turned a deaf ear to his achievements, and even tried their best to spread rumors and insult him. They deserve the punishment they deserve and pay the price for their words and actions. ”
When Xiao Chuhong heard this, he seemed to smile lightly, very bitter, very helpless, very tired, but there was no anger. It seems that he has already tempered his heart ten thousand times, polished to the point that it is invulnerable to poison and invulnerable.
"I've never been far from the hustle and bustle, I've always been in the whirlpool. They don't care what the truth is, they just want me dead. ”
His tone was understated, but Su Hao's heart was inexplicably poked.
"It's okay, you're not alone. Even if the sky falls, we will accompany you. ”
Su Zhen's voice was rare and gentle, from this moment on, Xiao Chuhong knew that after eight years of guarding, there was no mistake after all.
"Zhen Zhen, before I met you, what was the real you like?"
"Uh...... Good decent, general, why do you ask that? I am who I am, and I can show what outsiders want to see. ”
"That'...... Am I an outsider? ”
Xiao Chuhong's sudden question made her a little dazed, "You are... You are...... Well, I don't know what to say, but you're in my circle. ”
"Circles?"
Xiao Chuhong's voice was very low, and he chewed these two words repeatedly in his heart.
"Yes, I used to abandon everything and paint the ground as a prison. Now I am too greedy for the beauty of this world. And you... It's just right...... In the circle where I drew the ground as a prison. General, be careful, if you dare to stab me, I will kick you out of my circle at any time. ”
Xiao Chuhong's sword eyebrows were raised, and his thick big hand held Su Hao's ankle, and through the clothing, Su Hao could feel the thin calluses in his palms and the temperature it brought.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I kindly advise you, it's better to put out this idea early." ”
Su Zhen's body stiffened, and she looked directly into his eyes, and her face was reflected in those starry pupils. She could clearly feel the friendliness and kindness he had unleashed.
"When I return to Beijing this time, all those who are related to me will not be let go by the people of the Qinwang Party. However, he was afraid of the 100,000 Xiao family army, and he would not be too blatant. But as long as I live, I can protect you for one day. ”
It's not that he doesn't know that Su Hao has the Taifu Mansion and Jiyuefang behind him, and the Lin'an Hou Mansion supports him, but he just wants to use his own way to protect Su Hao.
