Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Atmosphere Is Awkward
Just thinking about the scene where he was in the same room with King You, Xie Lingxu felt a pain in his head, and Xie Lingxu glanced at Chu Xiudao on the side:
"Or ...... Let's change it and give you a chance to spend the night with King You. ”
Chu Xiu's eyes were full of surprise: "Lingxu, what are you talking about!" ”
Xie Lingxu sighed, turned his head to look at Xiao Qixin, and saw that the latter looked panicked, trying his best to avoid his gaze,
"Not very well, if someone finds out, won't our plan be ruined?"
It's also ......, for tomorrow's temple fair, even if you stay with King You for one night, you probably won't die-
In the idle and boring afternoon, Xie Lingxu wandered around the Twin Temples for a while, which was exactly the same as the temple where he was dragged by his family and friends to burn incense and worship clothes during the New Year's holidays.
…… The layout of the place is simple and atmospheric - surrounded by a series of small compartments in an arc shape, the inner part is an open field, and the jade steps in the center point to a highland equipped with a magnificent, seemingly dedicated to ceremonies, on which a large gilt incense burner is eye-catching......
It seems that this temple god meeting is going to be held here, Xie Lingxu crossed his arms, thinking to himself where this Elder Qiming is sacred, what kind of moth is he going to make tomorrow? Will the fragment of the jade bead be in his hands, and how can he and the king of You get it?
Suddenly, everything in front of me is unknown, just like the original plan to pretend to be husband and wife with Xiao Qixin was unexpectedly broken, and now it has become a drama on the same stage with King You, who can meet the changes and crises that will happen in the future?
Other than that...... A figure appeared in Xie Lingxu's mind—Mu Yun...... Will this mysterious person appear again this time?
After having an extremely bland dinner in the Twin Temples, Xie Lingxu secretly sighed that in order to match his identity as a high-class female dependent, he had to pretend to be Sven and chew slowly, which was so laborious and laborious......
A group of people walked on the quiet path at night, Xie Lingxu recalled that in order to show that the husband and wife respected each other like guests, King You still put vegetables into his bowl from time to time during dinner, thinking that the former must have been as embarrassed and helpless as himself at that time, and secretly sighed when this absurd drama was the end......
Liang Yan: "It's not early, Gongzi Yan, Mrs. Yan should go back to the room to rest early." ”
Xie Lingxu looked up at the starry sky:
"It's early!"
King You lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Lingxu, who was looking at the sky at this time, knowing what the latter was thinking about, and said with a light smile:
"Madame, it's time to rest."
Turning his face and looking at King You for a moment, Xie Lingxu's heart tightened...... It's over, it seems that King You is planning to break the can......
Laughing awkwardly, Xie Lingxu held back the despair in his heart:
"Then let's go back."
felt that Liang Yan seemed to be particularly interested in himself and King You, so he sent the two of them all the way back to the guest room before leaving. The former said goodbye, and the dexterous figure slipped out of sight in a flash, only to see the door being gently closed, and Xie Lingxu only felt that the silence at the moment was rolling in the embarrassing air......
The two of them each pulled up a chair and sat down, and were silent for a long time before King You opened his mouth to break the silence-
"If you're tired, rest first."
Xie Lingxu was stunned: "I ...... OK. ”
Then there was a suffocating silence—
The atmosphere was embarrassing to zero o'clock, Xie Lingxu picked up the porcelain cup and slammed half of the warm tea into his mouth......
Youwang: "Are you...... Something hates me? ”
"Ahem......" Xie Lingxu was stunned, and almost slipped and dropped the utensils in his hands. Not knowing how to answer the former's sudden question, Xie Lingxu frowned and lifted the broken hair in front of his forehead, feeling a trace of despair-
"No...... Yes. ”
Although he and the king are not on the same path, and the latter's life values are not similar, I may be a little reluctant to communicate too much with the king of you, but it is not a hate......
King You's expression was gloomy:
"Then why, so alienated from me?"
Groove ...... How do you answer this?
Xie Lingxu supported his head with his hand and didn't speak for a long time......
"Am I really that difficult?"
Looking at the former's eyes, it seemed a little sentimental, Xie Lingxu thought to himself, King You, this is trying to coordinate the relationship with his subordinates?
After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't know how to answer, and he didn't understand why King Xinyu asked himself such a question, Xie Lingxu got up and thought that it would be better to avoid it...... I didn't know where I was going, and I said:
“…… King You, I want to rest first-"
Before he could take a step, his sleeve was violently grabbed by the former, Xie Lingxu was startled, and listened to King You:
"Why the hell are you so prejudiced against me?"
It seems that he won't give up if he doesn't give the former an answer, Xie Lingxu pursed his lips with a cold expression:
"Isn't the prejudiced man the king? From the first time I appeared, King You felt that I was not a good type. ”
"I ......" seemed to be stunned by the words of the woman in front of him, and a strange look flashed in the eyes of King You......
Xie Lingxu: "You think I have a low status and sinister ambitions. Because of prejudice and contempt, no matter what I do, you can't look down on you—"
"Who said I don't look down on you—" King Yu interrupted with some eagerness.
With a dry cough, Xie Lingxu lowered his head to avoid the former's somewhat excited gaze, thinking that King You's attitude towards himself recently was actually not as unkind as it used to be, so it seemed a bit too much, but the initial impression has been imprinted in his heart and has become a gap that is difficult to cross......
Sensing that he was a little out of shape, King You let go of the hand holding Xie Lingxu and lowered his eyes......
Xie Lingxu clenched his fists uncomfortably, thinking to himself why King You's words were so many today......
"I'm sorry."
Shocked that the former actually apologized to himself, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but raise half of his eyebrows-
King You: "I still have military affairs to do, so you can rest first." ”
"That'...... Thank you, King You. ”
Listening to the former's meaning to let himself sleep in the bed, Xie Lingxu didn't want to pretend to be humble, in short, King You, a battle-hardened general, can probably sleep peacefully wherever he is, and entangling with the former too much will only make the atmosphere more embarrassing-
Besides, I'm really tired...... Xie Lingxu pulled open the futon, turned over to face the wall, closed his eyes and stopped thinking about those annoying trivialities......
Looking at the faint back of the woman not far away, King You pulled out the cork of the wine bottle - the liquor entered his throat, paralyzing the stinging nerves, and making people fall into a heart-warming illusion......
Xie Lingxu, who was woken up by the noise outside the door early in the morning, scolded three times in a row, "", and secretly sighed that the temple god meeting so early was simply unconscionable......
After a hurried breakfast, Xie Lingxu and King You walked towards the place of the temple meeting in the crowd.
Although most of the people around are monks, waitresses, and some highly respected monks in the Twin Temples, there are also many visitors who are gorgeously dressed and have an extraordinary bearing.
The Twin Temples have a wide range of good friends, and the famous families and even the royal relatives and nobles in the court have a lot of negotiations, and it is also necessary to run a huge temple with a lot of financial support, in addition to the incense fees offered by the people, the donations of these rich people are an indispensable financial source for the Twin Temples. So King Yu became the next person they wanted to befriend......
"I've finally found you, why are there so many people in this broken temple!" A familiar male voice came to his ears, Xie Lingxu turned his head, and saw that Chu Xiu was squeezed and disheveled, and couldn't help laughing.
"Chu Xiu, be quiet, beware of being blasted out."
Chu Xiu: "I don't want to stay in this place yet!" There is no oil or water in the food, I really don't know how the monks here are all white and fat, they must be stealing behind their backs! ”
Xie Lingxu: "Bear with me, I'll let you go out tomorrow to steal chickens and touch dogs." ”
While chatting with Chu Xiu, Xie Lingxu was disturbed by a tickling noise, raised his eyes to look ahead, and saw dozens of monks on the high platform dancing with the sound of Buddhist music and drums......
The next show was performed one after another, and Xie Lingxu wondered if he could still see the monk crushing a big stone on his chest in public, drinking and breathing fire, right?
This temple god will dare to come to see the performance, Xie Lingxu twitched the corners of his mouth, and wondered if he could still visit the temple fair for a while......
As the performances in front of him ended one by one, the applause and cheers around came one after another, although the performances of the temple fair were also wonderful, Xie Lingxu still felt that this temple god would be so famous, it was actually watching the acrobatic performances of these monks and people in the rivers and lakes, and he still felt bored after standing for a long time......
The temple god meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and the surrounding air was turbid by the crowd around him, and he seemed to be able to sense the stagnation in the air when he breathed.
There was another burst of encouragement, only this time the cheers lasted for a long time......
Xie Lingxu raised his eyes, and saw an extremely gorgeously dressed person in the distance holding a pillar of gold-rimmed inlay, and a meter-long Buddha incense solemnly walked towards the temple steps-
This person is probably Elder Qiming......
Xie Lingxu thought of Jie'an Yuanzun's unbearable appearance, and thought to himself that this Qiming Elder wouldn't look so cold......
The predecessors were gradually approaching, and Xie Lingxu's mild myopia and flashing eyes looked at the person in front of him intently-
…… I saw that Elder Qiming was dressed in a golden robe, and the gorgeous embroidery on his clothes shone brightly in the soft light of early spring, which looked particularly noble among all living beings......
Xie Lingxu held his breath, but saw that the former's face was covered by a black and gold mask, revealing only a pair of unpredictable eyes......
It seems that this Qi Mingchang is deliberately pretending to be mysterious......
The former walked steadily under his feet, slowly stepping up the steps under the watchful eye.
As if suppressed by the solemn atmosphere, everyone present closed their tongues at the moment and was silent in the sound of the magnificent drums......
