Chapter Eighty-Three: Be Honest with Each Other
Xiao Qixin...... Siu Kai Xin ......"
The person who was called raised his eyebrows, only to see the pale Xie Lingxu in front of him looking at him with puzzled eyes, his eyes were still sharp-
Xie Lingxu: "What's wrong?" Something on my face? β
Xiao Qixin: "Ah...... Not! β
was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Chu Xiu, and the former jerked violently-
Chu Xiu: "Old Xiao, what are you doing?" What do you think about staring at people all the time? β
"It's nothing, Xiao Jie, you just woke up and rested, Lao Chu and I won't bother you to leave first."
After speaking, Xiao Qixin picked up Chu Xiu and walked out, Xie Lingxu yawned, thinking that he was still waiting for food to be delivered on an empty stomach, and his mood at the moment was like waiting for takeout, the more he thought about it, the hungrier he became, and the hungrier he was, the more he didn't send it to the door.
Doorway β
Chu Xiu stopped under the pull of his predecessors:
"I said, Lao Xiao, what are you doing? How strange is it today? Are you supposed to be ...... Like human spirits, right? I said you can't be a fancy......"
Xiao Qixin slapped Chu Xiu on the back of the head:
"What nonsense! Ay...... You...... Why can't you see it! β
Chu Xiu didn't know what to say:
"What? Lao Chu, what do you want to say? β
Xiao Qixin glanced at the headless and brainless person in front of him, brushed the broken hair flowing in the cold wind, and said helplessly:
"Hey...... Forget it, you just be a fool and don't know anything! β
After the last bowl of medicinal soup, Xie Lingxu exhaled a hot breath and sighed that he had finally picked up a life from Lord Yama.
I was thinking about lying down after dinner and enjoying the depressed life that was not easy to come by and happy, but the curtain was suddenly opened-
Xie Lingxu turned his head, only to see the emperor in simple clothes appear in his sight...... The face of the person in front of him was not very good-looking, and Xie Lingxu stared at the light red scratch on the emperor's fair forehead for a long time-
The emperor slowly walked to the bed, looked at the weak person in front of him for a long time before he spoke:
"Spirit, you wake up, now...... How does it feel? β
Xie Lingxu leaned lightly on the pillow behind him:
"Okay."
The Emperor: "Before you...... The injury was severe. β
"I know, I-" Xie Lingxu turned his head, but saw that the emperor's worried eyes seemed to be a little apologetic......
"I'm not, it's okay."
The former lowered his eyes slightly, looking a little lonely:
"I ...... Isn't it...... Very useless? β
Stunned by the former's words, Xie Lingxu thought: I didn't expect the emperor to do anything, it was enough to protect myself from others to worry about it, where did the former's sudden sigh come from?
Xie Lingxu: "Your Majesty, are you ...... again If you don't know martial arts, it's good to be able to retreat in a surrounded by enemy troops. β
The emperor raised his eyes, and he couldn't bear to look at Lingxu's haggard faceβthe knife wounds on the former's body were almost all caused by himself...... Seeing everything happen to her, all she could do was turn a blind eye and desperately escape, what she did at that time was like a thorn piercing her heart, and every time she thought about it, it made people feel a tingle......
"I'm sorryβ"
Xie Lingxu smiled, thinking to himself that the emperor was wrong, and the sudden apology made him speechless for a while.
The Emperor: "I really ...... Very worried, when you are unconscious. β
Xie Lingxu was baffled by the former's deep tone, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly patted himself on the shoulder, and said with a hippie smile:
"But Ling, you are really strong and strong, and you can still be safe and sound after being slashed so many knives, much better than those guards and eunuchs. Since you have saved me so many times, I have decreed that you will be my personal guard from now on! β
Groove ............
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After about half a month, the group of horses finally arrived in the imperial cityβit was already the depths of winter......
After returning to the palace to recuperate for a while, Xie Lingxu seemed to have regained his life, and his injuries healed unusually quickly, only ten days and half a month later, and his body that was weak and even scolding himself recovered eighty or ninety, except that his physical strength could not keep up with the past, Xie Lingxu thought that he was an out-and-out man.
In the coldest period of winter, he spent nearly a month of undisturbed decadence in the bed, and in the season when the spring breeze blew the earth, Xie Lingxu began his high-intensity training life day after day......
The early spring full of tender sunshine sprinkled on the moat temple, and the warmth also poured out to understand the body of Lingxu. Feeling that his arm had not moved much for a long time after a cold winter, it was a little stiff, and Xie Lingxu focused on practicing the sword according to the appearance of the Underworld Army beside him-
The flower cat on the eaves jumped happily in the light and shadow of the warm sun, and let out a lazy cry from time to time.
A beam of bright sunlight spilled through the window lattice on the desk in the Floating Dream Pavilion, and unbiased climbed up to the fold that the king was carefully reading......
I don't know if I was disturbed by the continuous meows outside the window or the warm scene outside the door, King You put down the fold in his hand and raised his eyes to look ahead......
As far as the eye can see, you can just see the figure of Lingxu pulling out his bow and arrows...... The former's indifferent side face looks whiter in the sun.
After a winter recuperation, Xie Lingxu's thin cheeks are finally a lot more rosy, and they no longer look so distressing......
"Meow ......"
"Meow ......"
The cat's barking outside the window was endless, disturbing the king of You, who didn't have the heart to look at the fold in front of the table at all, but fortunately poured a cup of tea to enjoy the warmth of early spring, and quietly stared at the figure of Xie Lingxu in the Yuanyuan Palace.
I saw that the woman in front of her suddenly turned around, and her bright face instantly came into view, and King You smiled, and couldn't help but feel that Xie Lingxu, who was a little fatter, seemed to ...... Somewhat cute......
Holding the porcelain cup in front of him, the rim of the cup was pressed to his lips, and King You felt the warm tea slowly flow into his throat-
"What's the matter, Sichun?"
"Ahem...... "Ahem" You Wang easily held the teacup steady, only to hear Fang Xun lying on the windowsill and saying to the flower cat who kept calling on the eaves:
"Spring is here, do you want to find a companion?"
Fang Xun was chatting with this creature about Sichun's estrus while petting the cat with one hand, but when he turned his face, he saw Youwang Zheng looking at him with a strange expression, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
King You lowered his eyes, couldn't help but secretly say what he was thinking about just now...... coughed dryly, picked up the fold that had been shelved in front of him, and barely calmed down and looked at it......
At noon, the feeling of hunger came as promised, Xie Lingxu took the meal and found a quiet seat to sit down, planning to eat a meal, and saw two familiar figures walking towards the house, so he waved his hand to Chu Xiu and Xiao Qixin, who came to the door......
Buried his head and drank a sip of milky white and steaming crucian carp soup, Xie Lingxu raised his eyes, but saw that King You rarely appeared in this place-
With the status of the king of You, he should not set foot in this kind of place similar to the staff canteen, Xie Lingxu wondered, thinking to himself What is the king doing here, visiting the grassroots working people?
was about to turn a blind eye, and then buried himself in eating, but was surprised to find that the king seemed to be ...... Straight in his own direction-
He's going to ...... Do?
Xie Lingxu frowned slightly, and caught a glimpse of Xiao Qixin on the side looking at the figure of King You, and with a strange expression, he grabbed Chu Xiu, who was smirking beside him, and dragged him in a circle and walked away, I couldn't help but wonder what this situation meant at the moment?
Stuffing a few fried dumplings into his mouth, Xie Lingxu saw that King You stepped forward and really sat down opposite him, and almost choked himself in surprise......
"Let's talk."
As soon as the person in front of him sat down and said such a sentence, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but feel confused......
"What...... What the? β
King You's sparse gaze seemed to be mixed with a soft look: "I know it all." β
Xie Lingxu was stunned - you know, what does he know?
But at this moment, I can only pretend that I don't understand anything-
"You know, King You...... What the? β
Xie Lingxu tried to buy himself some time to think about the next countermeasures in a tentative tone, but the former looked directly into his eyes and said:
"The scroll is in your hand, right?"
No way...... Suddenly feeling stunned, Xie Lingxu felt that the blood veins in his whole body were instantly filled with his brain, and his palms couldn't help but feel slightly cold......
He got it...... Sure enough, he still knew. Xie Lingxu raised his eyes, the key is...... What is King You's going to do with himself next?
The former's gaze did not hesitate for a moment, as if he had confirmed his guess - the person who stole the scroll was Xie Lingxu. In the current situation, it is meaningless to deny and justify, Xie Lingxu gritted his teeth, thinking about what bargaining chips he had in his hands that could negotiate with King You, only to hear the former say indifferently:
"Now that I know, you don't have to hide it."
Xie Lingxu frowned and looked at King You, a little unsure of the meaning of his words......
Youwang: "I'm not hostile, you might as well tell me what you're going to do, maybe I can help you." β
Help me......? Xie Lingxu was a little incredulous. Is the former's words really credible? Or rather...... What reason does the king have to help me?
But when I think about it, what can I calculate? Rather than tearing his face with the King of You, it is better to follow the latter's advice and live in harmony with each other, whether he really wants to help him or not, at least not for now......
King You's soft gaze eased Lingxu's tense and anxious mood at the moment, and he calmed down and thought about it carefully...... Perhaps it was because of the reason why King You saved his life, Xie Lingxu felt that he seemed to have a little more trust in the former, and in the current situation, telling King You about the ins and outs of the matter of the jade beads and scrolls was actually a way out......
Xie Lingxu organized his language and told King You everything about why he wanted to get the scroll and the things about the jade beads recorded on the scroll......
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xie Lingxu omitted the part of the information about Mu Yun, although it would be a bit brain-consuming to explain how he broke through the obstacles to reach the secret room to steal the scroll, but Xie Lingxu still felt that it was not a good choice to mention Mu Yun as the number one person in the current situation.
Fortunately, King You didn't have any doubts, and he didn't ask how to solve the problem of the heavily armored guards with Lingxu's lame kung fu, but he just patiently listened to the woman in front of him tell the story, and felt that this seemed to be the first time in a long time that the two had such a long conversation-
Subconsciously raised his eyes, only to feel that it was the first time he had sat and communicated with King You so closely...... The angular face of the king was clearly engraved in front of his eyes, the former's eyebrows and eyes were not as cold as he imagined, and his gaze seemed to be too focused at this moment, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but cough dryly......
Thinking that he had told almost all the known information to King You, Xie Lingxu picked up the cold fish soup on the side and was about to drink it, but he was suddenly grabbed by the former......
"The soup is cold."
