Chapter 125 Water Bandits
"Luo Gongzi is humorous and lives in the capital with me, which is really a coincidence. I'm so happy when I'm cooking with him, and I'm too happy when I'm chatting, so I don't pay attention to it, so I'll try my craftsmanship cheaply. ”
Ye Jing has been full of spring since she came back, and she can't help but recall how sweet she and Luo Yunxi were just now, and her eyebrows fluttered when she spoke.
There is also the food that came here, Yanxin thought it was a good thing, it was just meat with too much oil and water, and this beans didn't even finish the white silk, she knew that Yanxin had no appetite for seasickness, and deliberately made these things to anger herself.
Seeing Yanxin's expression that was difficult to swallow, Ye Jing deliberately said very loudly: "What kind of eyes are you, I am doing this for your own good, if you don't eat enough, what if we affect the process at that time, now is not the time for you to play the temper of the eldest lady." ”
Ye Jing's words are good, but she said it to Luo Yunxi next door, where is she thinking about the banquet, it is clear that she is showing her and Luo Yunxi that she gets along well, and she just tells the bad deeds of the banquet.
Of course, she didn't care about these feasts, she shook her head, restraining her dizziness.
"It seems that you have memorized what I said before, serving tea, pouring water, washing and cooking, this meal is just a little bad for people to have no appetite, but it should be possible to learn more."
Ye Jing hadn't figured out how to refute yet, Yan Xin endured dizziness and discomfort, pulled two mouthfuls of the meal, and began to talk again.
"After being a civil official, even if you have no talent and no virtue, if you can't even do these things well, what do you expect to use to win people's hearts?"
"I don't need you to educate me."
Ye Jing was poked sadly, and immediately stood up and interrupted the banquet.
The Emperor Taishang of Xijin used to have no importance to Ye Jing's grandfather, but now His Majesty and the crown prince don't like their family's old-fashioned style, so her family has always been unpopular in officialdom, and over time she is reluctant to mention the glorious achievements of the past, which is why Ye Jing abandoned literature and martial arts.
What she thought in her heart was nothing more than to revive the family business and let others see that their Ye family was not in a slump.
These are all things that Yan Xin knew in her previous life, she originally thought that these family integrations should not be imposed on her children, but looking at Ye Jing's appearance of wanting to compete with herself without compromising means, this sympathy slowly faded again, but was filled with disgust.
Yanxin said these words originally meant just to let Ye Jing not fall too fond of Luo Yunxi, who expected Ye Jing's dog to bite Lu Dongbin, she didn't bother to say much, she really didn't have an appetite after eating a few bites, so she put it there, Ye Jing didn't want to pay attention to her, and walked out after taking the meal.
She shook her head, disagreed, and continued to meditate and breathe, but after a while, Luo Yunxi, the nasty ghost's new lover, walked in happily.
"I guess it's that you're seasick, and it's always like this when you Tianyu women rarely take a boat."
He seemed to be showing off his erudition to Yanxin, but now Yanxin was just uncomfortable, and he didn't want to see him so noisy.
"Our Tianyu woman? It seems that I have only been with Ye Jing for two hours, and you will see each other too late, why don't I get off the boat by myself at the next ferry and not disturb the two of you to talk about love? ”
Yan Xin was angry for no reason, and he didn't even want to look at Luo Yunxi's body.
"Ouch, where are you saying this, for the husband, I don't want you to be too eye-catching, what if she secretly tells Guan Yan? I'm sacrificing my life for righteousness. ”
Luo Yunxi saw her uncomfortable appearance, hurriedly put away her robe, sat beside her, coaxed, took out an ugly small embroidered bag from her sleeve, and put it under Yanxin's nose for her to sniff.
This embroidered bag has a faint smell of orange peel, and there seems to be some refreshing mint leaves, and the other fragrance can no longer be smelled, but the vomiting sensation that has been suppressed in her throat gradually disappeared, and she immediately took the embroidered bag from Luo Yunxi's hand.
"Sacrifice your life for righteousness?"
Looking at Ye Jing's appearance, Luo Yunxi is clearly a ghost under the peony flower.
"That's natural, I cooked some porridge for you while she wasn't there, and now it's warm on the stove, I'll bring it to you in a while, we have a few days on the ship, and you won't be able to hold it if you don't eat or drink."
Seeing that Yanxin didn't continue to be angry, he turned around and helped her arrange the bedding so that she could sit more comfortably.
Yan Xin moved back, looking at his well-behaved and obedient appearance, his anger also disappeared by half, and he twisted and asked, "But I blamed you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yunxi immediately made a terrible look, and put all the responsibility on himself.
"What are these words, I did something wrong to misunderstand you, it's all my sin, it's all my sin, it's all because I was born and can't keep a low profile."
“……”
Yan Xin was speechless by his boasting, so he pretended to remind him inadvertently: "You have to be careful, this Ye Jing is not good at stubble, I am really afraid that you will be hooked by her, and I don't know how to deal with me." ”
In fact, she didn't need to say these words to Luo Yunxi, what she was afraid of was that Ye Jing would be indiscriminate and shoot at Luo Yunxi, a powerless rookie.
But this rookie didn't feel the danger at all, and he also pulled Gu Baixiu out in his words.
"Even Gu Baixiu can't hook her, I'm a Daoist who is more advanced than Gu Baixiu and an immortal who has cultivated for hundreds of years, how can I be tricked, I really don't trust my husband enough."
He pretended to be aggrieved and winked at the banquet.
"Why are you higher than Gu Bai's cultivation?"
Yan Xin was puzzled, this man couldn't see from head to toe that there was anything comparable to his senior brother.
"You don't know, I'm called a real person who doesn't show up, if you move your hand, Gu Baixiu still doesn't kneel on the ground and beg me."
Yan Xin lowered his head, he really didn't see his arrogant appearance, and his Taoism was higher than Gu Bai's, and there was only one possibility for his senior brother to beg him.
That is, after one move, Gu Baixiu would kneel on the ground and beg him not to die.
Seeing that the time was almost up, and the dizziness of the banquet was not so strong, she went down to the stern of the boat to find the porridge that Luo Yunxi personally warmed for her.
When she passed by the deck, she saw Ye Jing sitting on the bow of the boat staring at the river, as if she was recalling something.
After she drank some porridge to warm her stomach, she found that it was over.
At this time, the sunset seemed to float to the water as if it was playful, learning to swim little by little, probably finding that Yunxia was also staring at it, so it shyly sank into the water, leaving a little remnant of the orange-red veil still churning on the water.
This was the first time Yanxin had watched the sunset on the boat, and such a beautiful scenery captured her in a moment.
The afterglow faded very slowly, but Yan Xin could still feel that they were passing little by little.
Luo Yunxi quietly approached her side at some point, stood on a step one step higher than her, and pressed her abdomen to her back.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a sunset, but I'm very happy to see it with you today, think about it before I only knew how to admire the moon and drink, I didn't expect the sun hanging over my head all day long to be so beautiful, it's really favoritism."
After Luo Yunxi said this, Yan Xin didn't respond, he couldn't help it, so he added: "I really want to watch the sunset every day with you." ”
The light was completely gone, replaced by the moon in the distance, still hidden in the clouds, flickering and dimming.
"Actually, I don't like sunsets, every time this time I feel like a day has passed, but I still ...... by myself"
Yan Xin turned around and sat on the deck with a tired look.
The women's bottoms are all so sentimental, and Luo Yunxi didn't get to the bottom of it, "What about the sunrise?" ”
"Sunrise?"
Yan Xin didn't have time to react, and Luo Yunxi's speed of changing the topic was inevitably too fast.
"The sunrise on the river has a unique flavor, if there is a beautiful man to enjoy with you, maybe it will be more interesting, let's say so."
Luo Yunxi, who was talking to himself, left after his voice fell, leaving Liu Yanxin alone for a long time.
"Who, who told you?"
At this time, the boatman came silently and told the three of them that it was best to hide all their valuables at night, and try not to send them out if they could not make any noise, and not to walk around on the deck.
Ye Jing asked the reason, and the boatman said that the gambling river area has not been peaceful recently, and there are often water bandits who will rob some merchant ships or cargo warehouses, but ordinary water bandits on a small passenger ship like them will not pay attention to it.
After thanking the boatman for his kindness, Yanxin found some dry food and went back to the cabin early. And Ye Jingna pulled Luo Yunxi to chat at the bow of the boat, Yan Xin couldn't help but listen to it, only to know that they were talking about trivial matters between the nobles of Xijin, and she didn't want to ask if she felt bored.
Yan Xin felt tired just after the unitary, and she fell asleep after lying down for a while, and in a daze, she seemed to hear Ye Jing's small exclamation, and the movement of the tip of the knife cutting across the wooden board.
She woke up and sat up, realizing that the situation outside had changed.
Couldn't it be the fulfillment of what the boatman said......
Yan Xin immediately pulled out the sword hidden under the pillow and rushed out, and sure enough, the sound of fighting on the deck had already begun at this time.
The first to bear the brunt was Ye Jing, she was surrounded by three big men, but because she was on the boat, her movement was restricted, most of her martial arts could not be displayed, the rudder had been controlled by the gangsters, and the boatman was nowhere to be found.
At this time, she immediately searched for Luo Yunxi's location, this person didn't know any martial arts, what if he was really caught and thrown into the water.
She jumped over the mast on her side, only to find him in circles with another big man.
Yan didn't think about it, he drew his sword and blocked the big man for Luo Yunxi first, protecting Luo Yunxi behind him.
Seeing that the rescuers arrived, he hurriedly hid behind Yanxin and complained: "Auntie, you finally woke up, there is such a big movement on the ship, and I don't see you come out to help." ”
The water bandit wore a dark turban, and it seemed that he had also practiced, and he must have more experience in fighting on the boat than Yanxin, but Yanxin had practiced martial arts, and he could deal with it in terms of dexterity.
She saw that the bandits' large ships were next to their boats, and that people were constantly coming over to join the plunder.
"Where's the boatman?" While resisting this swarthy water bandit with her sword, she asked Luo Yunxi.
Luo Yunxi resisted according to the weight loss of the banquet, and replied quickly, "I was knocked unconscious a long time ago." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you hide first, or I won't be able to explain to Fourteen."
She kicked the bandit in the stomach, but she didn't see the bandit shout.
Could it be that with the strength of the feast, there is no way to confront him head-on?
