Chapter 31: Southern Xinjiang
Zhuo Jinxuan remembered the content of Qingluan's report, and knew that it was the pirates who did it, and after Bai Shuqin left, Qingluan and the others had already disposed of the corpse.
Even so, Zhuo Jinxuan was still inevitably angry, and the woman who dared to hurt him, even if she died a thousand times, it was not enough to apologize. He snorted coldly: "It's really cheap for him!" He should be rewarded with a thousand cuts! ”
Bai Shuqin was amused by him, but she didn't forget the purpose of Zhuo Jinxuan's visit to Jiangzhou, put away her smile and said, "I heard that you made a military order in front of the emperor?" Are you sure? ”
Zhuo Jinxuan didn't expect that she already knew that he was not completely sure, but he didn't want her to worry, so he said, "Don't you believe in your husband's ability?" ”
It's not that Bai Shuqin doesn't believe it, it's just that the current situation makes her very uneasy, and she kindly reminded: "This group of pirates behaves strangely, obviously Dongcheng is close to the sea, but they seem to be afraid of something and deliberately avoid it." There is no problem with the safety of my side, you arrange for Qingfeng Qingluan to investigate the reason! ”
Bai Shuqin really didn't notice these Zhuo Jinxuan words, not even the spies planted among the pirates. But he still firmly refused: "That Han Yu in the afternoon is not a simple person, you need someone to protect you." ”
"I'm fine, this matter must be listened to me!" Bai Shuqin said resolutely, seeing that his eyes moved, she immediately added: "Don't let them follow me secretly, let them do more important things!" I know you're worried about me, but now is not the time for a child! ”
Zhuo Jinxuan didn't expect her to say this, and after a long silence, he agreed: "Promise me to protect yourself." Don't be reckless if you have something, come to me immediately! ”
She nodded: "It's not early, go back and rest!" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan hugged her into his arms again, and reluctantly let go of her for a long time. Bai Shuqin stood on tiptoe, gently dropped a kiss on his cheek, returned upstairs, and glanced at him before gently closing the window.
Zhuo Jinxuan stood downstairs for a while before turning to leave. Bai Shuqin watched him leave through the window, knowing that he was there, she felt steady, and soon fell asleep.
The next day, Beizhu had already gotten up early, and when she saw Bai Shuqin open her eyes, she asked curiously, "Sister, did you have a good dream?" ”
Bai Shuqin didn't know why she said this, Beizhu sneered: "When I got up, my sister had a smile on her face and looked very happy." ”
Bai Shuqin's face was slightly red, he glanced at her with disgust, got up and put on his clothes.
She hadn't forgotten Han Yu's invitation yesterday afternoon, and she didn't know what he was thinking. In her memory, she definitely didn't know Han Yu, and she didn't even know his origin.
Du Zijun drank unconscious last night, vomited in the middle of the night, and is still dizzy. Bai Shuqin rubbed her forehead, it seemed that she could only go to Han Yu's appointment alone.
The sky was gloomy, and because Zhuo Jinxuan led his troops into the city yesterday, the streets were obviously lively today, and the tense atmosphere in the past had disappeared a lot.
Bai Shuqin was wearing a red cloak with a thick circle of pure white fox fur around his collar, which was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. At this time, snow began to fall in the sky, and it was the first snow of the year, and it came without warning.
Fortunately, she had already walked to Linxian Tower, and the two of them were waiting in front of the door yesterday, and when they saw her appear, they immediately went up to lead the way. The two took Bai Shuqin to the private room on the second floor and withdrew, leaving only her and Han Yu.
The room had a fire lit in stark contrast to the cold outside. Han Yu got up and walked towards Bai Shuqin, reached out to take off the cloak for her and hung it on the hanger.
Wine was simmering on the stove, and Han Yu invited her to sit down and poured her a glass. The aroma of wine is overflowing, even if he doesn't like to drink, Bai Shuqin can also smell that it is good wine.
Bai Shuqin didn't speak, and Han Yu didn't open his mouth either, just kept smiling at her. Bai Shuqin picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, didn't taste it and put it back on the table.
"I brewed it myself, don't you have an appetite?" Han Yu looked at her intently.
Bai Shuqin picked up the wine glass again, looked at the wine in the glass, and slowly spoke: "You came to me, it should be more than just a bar?" ”
He narrowed his eyes and smiled playfully, "Isn't that okay?" ”
Bai Shuqin raised his head and looked directly into his eyes and chuckled: "Yes!" It's just that I haven't drunk well, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ”
He leaned closer to her and said in an ambiguous tone: "Even if you only taste one bite, I will be satisfied." ”
Bai Shuqin was not bewitched, firstly, she couldn't drink, and secondly, she didn't think the wine was safe. Han Yu seemed to see through her, picked up her wine glass, drank it all, showed her the empty wine glass, and said with a smile: "This wine is not intoxicating, only intoxicating!" ”
The snow was falling heavier and heavier outside, but the temperature in the room was rising instead of falling. Han Yu saw that Bai Shuqin was unmoved, nor was he reluctant.
Bai Shuqin was not interested in watching men drink, she asked straight to the point: "Who are you?" What is the purpose of looking for me? I don't have time to spend here with you. ”
"Does it matter who I am?" He lazily poured himself a glass of wine, "It's rare to be so laid-back, why not relax and have a drink." ”
Bai Shuqin sneered and got up to leave. Han Yu reached out and grabbed her left wrist, and pulled it into his arms, ordinary women were afraid that they had already been embraced by him at this moment, but Bai Shuqin was not an ordinary woman.
She secretly broke free of his powerful right hand, dusted off her sleeves, and said with a smile: "I am already a married woman, please pay attention to your words and deeds!" ”
Han Yu withdrew his hand boringly, "You like the position you grabbed so much?" ”
Bai Shuqin was stunned, how much did this person know? But she obviously didn't show timidity at such a time, but laughed out loud, "I just like it, how?" ”
He got up and approached her, reached out and stroked her hair, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Then you might as well come and rob me!" ”
"Not interested!" Bai Shuqin took a step back to avoid him, walked to the hanger to take off his cloak, and said to him, "Since you don't plan to be honest, I don't have time to waste!" ”
Han Yu didn't open his mouth to stay, but sat back in his chair and said casually, "Bai Shuqin, are you sure you want to leave now?" Or should I call you Blue Heart! ”
Bai Shuqin's face instantly condensed to freezing point, "What else do you know?" ”
Han Yu picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine, raised the wine glass, and looked at her with a smile.
Bai Shuqin walked over and took the wine glass and drank it all, "Now you can say it!" ”
"Make a deal!" Han Yu said.
"Say!" Bai Shuqin stared at him, he was finally about to say the purpose of inviting her to come today.
Han Yu reached out and grabbed her arm again, this time she didn't break free, he hugged her into his arms, stared at her face, and said affectionately, "Marry me, be my wife!" ”
Although he was talking to her, Bai Shuqin felt that he was talking to another person, he was not looking at her, it was someone else!
"I'm afraid you've recognized the wrong person!" Bai Shuqin pushed him away, stood up, and raised the corners of his mouth at him: "Whatever you know, I won't be threatened by anyone!" ”
Out of the inn, Bai Shuqin walked into the heavy snow without looking back, and some things would give her an answer in time.
Han Yu pushed open the window of the room and looked at Bai Shuqin's departing back in a daze. The Twin Souls he had been looking for for for a long time finally appeared by his side at this moment. No matter what method he used, he had to get her.
When Du Zijun woke up, he learned that Bai Shuqin was going to the appointment alone, and he was so worried that he ran out without eating.
The snow is getting heavier and the streets are getting fewer and fewer pedestrians.
Bai Shuqin walked eagerly, and his hair and body were covered with snow. Du Zijun was holding an umbrella in his arms, running forward like crazy, passing by Bai Shuqin's side, he stopped suddenly, and hurriedly opened the umbrella to shield her from the snow.
He gasped for breath and looked her up and down every inch to make sure there were no injuries before he looked away and bent over to rest.
Bai Shuqin took the umbrella in his hand and dusted the snow off his body.
It took him a while to catch his breath, straighten up and ask her, "Sister Bai, that person didn't do anything to you, did he?" ”
Bai Shuqin shook his head gently, remembering what had just happened, he was still resentful in his heart. From the first time I saw him, it was like looking at his prey.
Du Zijun noticed that her mood was wrong, and immediately became serious: "I'll settle accounts with him!" ”
"What's the account? Have you ever beaten him? Bai Shuqin said unceremoniously, and then his tone softened again, "He didn't do anything, let's go back quickly." ”
He took the umbrella from her hand and held it for her, walked beside her, and told her the jokes he had heard, trying to amuse her.
The inn also has a stove, and when you enter, you feel a sense of warmth. Seeing that it has entered the cold winter, even if Zhuo Jinxuan can exterminate the pirates, it will not be until spring to usher in the peak season of the inn.
During this time, except for Bai Shuqin, there was not a single guest in the inn, and Li Wu looked at the heavy snow outside with a sad face.
Seeing Bai Shuqin and them coming back, Li Wu took them to the stove and sat down, his face was cramped, and he stopped talking. In the end, Zhou Yunxia, who was still sitting on the side, spoke for him: "White girl, let's eat and stay in the inn in the future." I'll give you a cheaper price. ”
These days, Bai Shuqin and they are just staying in the inn, hearing them say this, Bai Shuqin immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, according to the regular price!" ”
Zhou Yunxia thanked her gratefully, even if there were only a few of them to eat and live, they were better than no one.
Bai Shuqin asked Zhou Yunxia for a small stove to take to the upstairs room, and Beizhu was looking at the snow outside the window. She had never seen snow in southern Xinjiang, and she thought it was amazing, and the outside world was as clean as cotton.
Seeing Bai Shuqin coming in, she said excitedly: "Sister, it's so beautiful outside!" ”
There is no place in the surrounding countries that does not snow in winter, except in southern Xinjiang.
"You're from southern Xinjiang?" Bai Shuqin asked tentatively.
Beizhu's eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent. Bai Shuqin knew that he had guessed correctly, so he took out her necklace from his arms and handed it to her, "Have you seen this necklace in Southern Xinjiang?" ”
Beizhu took the necklace and looked at it carefully. It's a very chic necklace, but she really hasn't seen it in southern Xinjiang. Women in southern Xinjiang prefer gemstone necklaces, and metal necklaces are generally worn only by the lowly and incompetent.
She returned the necklace to Bai Shuqin, but she caught a glimpse of 027 engraved next to the pendant, and she couldn't see it at all if she didn't pay attention. She seemed to have seen this pattern, it was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while. She closed her eyes, searched hard in her mind, and suddenly opened her eyes excitedly after a while.
"Sister, I haven't seen this necklace! But I've seen the pattern engraved on the necklace! ”
Bai Shuqin looked at her and motioned for her to continue. She pointed to 027 on the pendant, and continued, "I saw this on the body of the Soulless a year ago. ”
"Soulless?" Bai Shuqin asked her suspiciously.
"The soulless one is..."Beizhu frowned, trying to explain to her, but he didn't know how to tell her, after all, the significance of the soulless person in southern Xinjiang was too great, and in the end she could only sigh helplessly: "It's a soulless person." ”
Bai Shuqin listened quietly, now her body has two souls, if Lan Xin's body also came to this world, is it a soulless person? Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked, "Where is the pattern on the soulless one?" ”
It's been too long, Beizhu can't remember it clearly, and she said uncertainly: "It seems to be on the back of the neck, and it seems to be on the wrist." I can't remember, but it must be on the exposed skin! ”
