Chapter 124 Plan ahead
Daduo seemed to have anger in his eyes, and his fingers pointed at the desktop where Xiao He Fangcai was sitting, with a slight force, and his fingertips tapped twice, "Cherish her!" She has you in her heart, which I can't envy. ”
Duan Heng was confused when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Have me in your heart?" Who are you talking about, Xiao He? ”
Daduo almost grabbed his collar and spoke, thinking of Xiao He's expression when he talked to him that day, he speculated to himself, thinking that Duan Heng didn't understand the amorous feelings, so he let Xiao He taste all the sorrows. According to Duan Heng's stunned temperament, he must not know Xiao He's true identity, and Xiao He must have taken care of the etiquette and dogma in Dayin's customs, and did not explain this to him.
Although he didn't convince him very much, he just saw the tacit understanding between the two of them, talking and laughing without being unfamiliar, so he knew the gap. In addition, although Duan Heng also watched the performance of the dancing girl, he did not take it to heart, and he could deal with it calmly in the face of Xiao He's ridicule.
Now he wants to be a good person and fulfill for others, and it is not in vain that he likes Xiao He in vain. Since she is her sweetheart, you should know her heart.
"She didn't make it clear to you, I told her for her." Dado raised his bowl and invited him to drink.
Duan Heng was even more inexplicable, but he could only pick up the wine bowl first and drink with him.
"Lord Xiao An, don't you still know that Xiao He is a woman?" After Daduo finished drinking, Yu Yu said.
When Duan Heng heard this, he was stunned on the spot, unable to believe it, "What did you say?" ”
Daduo shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a shame that she still thinks about you in her heart, and repeatedly refuses to go back to the grassland with me." You're just a dumbfounder, what's so good? ”
Duan Heng finally understood, but he couldn't believe it, so he could only mumble again: "What did you say?" ”
Daduo began to pour himself a drink, too lazy to talk nonsense, "If you don't cherish it, let me forget it earlier." Save her from pretending to be hard for you every day. ”
As early as the time when the horse fell off the cliff out of control, Duan Heng's heart had already begun to waver, and he began to doubt, but he couldn't believe it, maybe once he crossed this boundary, there would be nothing to stop him. Therefore, although he doubted Xiao He's identity, he was not in a hurry to verify it, and deliberately stopped himself, he was afraid that the more he checked, the deeper he would fall.
Now that he suddenly heard Daduo's words, his line of defense collapsed in an instant, and all that came to his mind was Xiao He's usual smile, joy and anger, and he was full. Since he is a woman, Xiao He's identity is fake, so he pretended to be a man to enter the court as an official, and there must be other ulterior secrets.
Although Daduo recklessly uncovered the layer of window paper that Duan Heng was reluctant to uncover, and pushed his vague worries in front of him, his heart was happy at the moment after all. He could finally stop his reverie about her, his fascination with her, and as for the mystery of her identity, that was the question he had to think about later.
What made him ecstatic the most was what Dado said, and she thought about herself.
He recalled that every time he invited her out to play in the past, if she went to the wine shop, everyone would sit and drink together, and if she went to a vocal place such as Wanhualou, she would always disdain, and if she looked at the girl a few more times, she would definitely reprimand her. It turned out to be vinegar.
He recalled that earlier, his Yujue and Li Nanke exchanged kumquats, but they were misunderstood by her and angry with themselves. It turned out that it was vinegar too.
I was really a fool, obviously in front of me, obviously within reach, but I was missed by myself.
Now when he raised his eyes to look at Daduo again, he even felt that Daduo was also much more pleasing to the eye, and he hurriedly thanked him. Dado waved his hand, "What's the use of you thanking me?" If you can give up on her sooner, I will thank you. Duan Heng replied solemnly and seriously: "Duan will never give up on her!" ”
Xiao He chased upstairs and turned around, but he didn't find the person he was looking for, and he came back a little stupidly.
After sitting down, he found that one of them looked excited, staring at him with burning eyes, and the other looked frustrated and turned his head away from him. "What's going on? Am I missing something? Xiao Hehu glanced at the two of them suspiciously before asking.
"King Chishui still wants to watch the song and dance performance for a while, you have drunk enough, I'll send you back." Duan Heng wanted to take the opportunity to take her away first. Xiao He stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, he was indeed a little heavy, so he agreed.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Daduo sighed heavily, and sent the woman he valued to someone else's arms with his own hands, which was really not a taste, but if she could be happy and find her own happiness, it would be enough. But when he thought of himself, he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself, and simply hugged the wine jar and drank wildly.
After coming out and walking a few steps, blowing the night breeze, Xiao He was a lot more sober. She walked parallel to Duan Heng, and her steps were unhurried.
"The prince talks a lot on weekdays, why is it quiet now?" Xiao He looked sideways at Duan Heng and said with a smile.
"I ...... You ......" Duan Heng has always talked a lot, so he stammered at this moment, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his heart, but they were all condensed in one place, stuffed in his throat and unable to make a sound.
Xiao He chatted with him casually, and without a word, he responded casually and listened to her.
The road was too short, and he hadn't even heard enough of her voice, and he was already standing at the door of Xiao Mansion in the blink of an eye. Xiao He Yingying waved and said to Duan Heng: "Thank you for sending the prince back next day, and invite the prince to drink another day." Duan Heng waved his hand, "You and I don't have to be polite......" He looked at her for a long time, but only said one sentence, "Rest early." ”
Xiao He didn't care that Duan Heng was slightly abnormal at this time, but he also drank a few more glasses.
After returning home, she went straight to Xiao Shi, but wanted to ask him in person what he was doing in the wine shop, did he also go to see the enchanting dancing girl? Teng Teng Teng rushed to the backyard, only to find that he was not in the room.
Standing at the door, she was a little stunned, could it be that he still didn't come back from that wine shop?
But I heard a voice floating overhead, "Are you looking for me?" ”
She looked up and saw that the man was lying on the tiles, in a somewhat lazy posture, holding his head in his hands, so uncomfortable.
"What are you doing up there?" Xiao He asked, and went up himself.
"Basking in the moon." His answer was simple.
Xiao He turned his head and looked up at the night sky, sure enough, the moon was round and big enough tonight, so bright that there were not a few stars hidden in the entire sky. She simply sat down, lay down beside him, and followed his example with her hands under the back of her head, admiring the night view.
"It's enough for your soldiers to deal with the average miscellaneous bravery, but if it's a slightly more powerful character, like a random black-clothed guard, it's hard to deal with." Xiao Shi suddenly mentioned these. Xiao He tilted his head, just enough to see his side face, so he waited quietly for him to continue.
"If you want to survive well in this mixed land to preserve your strength, these are the only things, I'm afraid it's not enough." Xiao Shi's voice was calm.
Xiao He smiled slightly, "What is your opinion?" ”
"What do you think of the wine shop you went to tonight?"
"You really went there too, I saw your back......" Xiao He seemed to want to catch his sore feet, and couldn't wait to say, but he interrupted.
"Answer the question." There was always power in his tone that kept her quiet.
"The wine is good, and the dancing girl is very beautiful." Xiao He didn't understand what he meant.
"It's been less than 20 days since the new opening, and it's really good to have a full house every night. However, it is not yet known whether it will continue to operate steadily in places like the imperial capital. ”
"How do you know so much about that place?" Xiao He asked.
"Because I paid for that place." Xiao Shi's answer surprised Xiao He very much.
"You, when did you change your career and start a business?"
"The place where people come and go is the easiest place to find out the news. When people are most likely to say more than they normally do, it's when they're drunk. If you want to end this false life as soon as possible, don't take precautions, and the next time you meet a Murong clan, you may not be able to live. Xiao Shiwan talked about it for a long time, all thinking about Xiao He.
A top killer, even if he retires, it will not be a problem to find a deep mountain and old forest to stay, and he is afraid that he will not be found for decades. But he chose to stay by Xiao He's side and help her fulfill her wish. Xiao He didn't know when they had such a friendship, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"In the future, the owner of the wine shop will be replaced by you, how about it?" Xiao Shi also looked sideways at her.
"Now that you've done it, at most I'm going to join the gang, and I still have some silver there, so let's put it all in. I don't have much experience in business. Besides, who is the boss, is there a difference? Xiao He looked at him with a serious expression.
"The problem now is indeed not a problem of money, there are many wine shops in the imperial capital, and if you want to stand in it, you must have the support of the forces behind you. And on the one hand, on the other hand, with connections, there are chips, and it is easier to advance and retreat. With that, he turned over and turned sideways to Xiao He.
Xiao He found that the posture of the two of them lying on the roof was a little ambiguous, as if they were sleeping together, their heartbeats missed a beat, and their eyes flickered.
"Then I'll go and pull Duan Heng into the gang, with the prince in charge, this backer is always hard."
Xiao Shi didn't seem surprised by her proposal, and continued: "To take advantage of his momentum, some things are best said in front, such as what we will do and where the bottom line is, so as not to tear our faces in the future." ”
Listening to his understatement, Xiao He began to beat the drum in his heart again.
She was a little apprehensive and a little expectant, and asked, "Why are you helping me?" ”
"I'm thinking about that too. Maybe the killer is tired of doing it, so what else is new and exciting to do to help you get revenge? Seems to be good. Xiao Shi's eyes were like water, rippling lightly, sweeping on Xiao He's face, which made her feel a little tender.
"And how do you want me to reciprocate?" What kind of answer she was waiting for, she couldn't tell.
"Maybe I'm just borrowing money to make some money by the way. You don't have to be burdened and think about the so-called reward. ”
He was only a foot away from her, and Xiao He realized that the so-called end of the world was close at hand.
