Chapter Ninety-One: The Long Street
"What are you talking about... I didn't provoke you, what are you doing - let me go! β
Although hungry and tired, Wen Ling's internal strength is still there. The force of the slap on my face that crackled on Gong Wan's body was not very light, but he was beaten and scolded by me arbitrarily, his face did not change, and he strode straight towards the four peach blossom streets without taking his eyes off it.
At first, I was still angry, but when I saw that the red fingerprints on the cheeks of Miyahata were getting deeper and deeper, I gradually felt compassion in my heart, and I stopped beating my hands. The silent street stopped moving for a while, and the atmosphere became a little more subtle.
This position of being held made my heart beat a little uncomfortable, and I wanted to find some conversations at will, but I was hungry and drowsy, and I couldn't lift my spirits. Thinking about it, he could only lie on his chest like this, quietly waiting for the arrival of the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra on Peach Blossom Street in front of him.
In such a cold winter night, I actually felt a touch of comfortable and down-to-earth warmth in the arms of this teenager.
"Even girl?"
ββ¦ Not? β
"-Oh, it's okay......"
"What?"
"It's okay, I thought you were asleep."
"I didn't."
"Hmm... Don't fall asleep, you'll get cold. β
β¦β¦
The atmosphere again became somewhat awkwardly subtle. I could see Miyahata trying to look down at me a few times, and when he swept my forehead, which was only an inch from his cheek, he snapped back, and then his ears, which had been blown red by the cold wind, became darker.
"Even girl?"
ββ¦ Not? β
"Why do you live in a place like Peach Street?"
"Ahh That used to be my aunt's livelihood, and it has grown little by little until now,"
I didn't expect him to ask this question, and I was a little panicked in my heart, so I wanted to explain honestly, and then I thought of Wen Zhao's advice that Wen Zhao's identity was embarrassing and should not be publicized, so I had to continue with a sloppy eye, "My parents died early, and my brother joined the official family again. Although I got into the rivers and lakes, I returned to Kazhou in my spare time, and I had a place to live in the Taopin Building. β
"I see, it's just that your brother is a towering man, and now he is an officer and soldier who eats military salaries, why don't you help you buy some land and real estate, and then withdraw from the rivers and lakes?" Gong Wan frowned and said, "I heard that now that the tail sect is the king of martial arts, one sect is dominant, you are a girl's family, and you are wandering around the rivers and lakes with a sword, it is not appropriate after all." β
"It was my own decision to stay in the rivers and lakes, and now that the world is peaceful, I have been idle in Kaju for more than three months."
When I thought of the Jian Xiangjian who was left in Prince Huan's mansion, I felt a pain in my heart, and I couldn't help but say in a cold tone, "Also, my brother is a very responsible man. The four words of the towering man coming out of your mouth are a little ironic, right? β
"Say whatever you want..."Miyahata's brows furrowed and relaxed, relieved and furrowed. I've heard that the peach sales building is mixed, and it is the most smoky and chaotic place. It's not a long-term solution for you to settle down here, is it? β
"Whoever said there was a miasma, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." I didn't have a good breath, "Although Taopinlou is the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, most of the girls in it are Qingliu Yaqi who sing and dance; Even if some of them open the door to pick up customers, it's all something you want me to do...... Let's just say that the peony champion who came a few days ago has not yet been combed, and I am not afraid to tell you that now it is just rumored that she is not accustomed to the water and soil when she first came to the Northland, and she is infected with symptoms, so she will not open the door for the time being. The fact is that Aunt Hua pities her miserable background and has decided not to let her pick up guests. Although she has not yet found a reason to convince the guests, Aunt Hua is so smart that she believes that one day she will be able to think of a way to redeem her deed of sale. β
"There are such things..."Gong Wan couldn't hide his surprise a little, "I don't want this master mother of Qinlou Chu Pavilion to be so affectionate and righteous, it's really impressive." β
"So you don't talk nonsense." I glanced at him and said, "Who said that those who have fallen into the dust must have no heart at all, just like you are the prince of the current saint, I haven't seen how much you have a mind and a heart for the common people." β
"You're here again..."Miyahata said slightly, and then his face became a little gloomy, "I have said that I have my reasons......"
"And what is your reason?" I quipped, "The grass people are also curious, why did the Fifth Highness leave the palace, and why did he break into his brother's mansion at night today?" β
"I... I knew that you had fallen into the trap of the fourth brother, so I came to the Huan Prince's Mansion to save you......"
"Your Highness is gracious, and the grass people deserve it." I couldn't laugh and said, "Then dare to ask what you have committed that has caused your brothers to be so nervous that they don't even care about the face of the royal family, and make such a big noise to search for your traces throughout the city?" β
Miyahata was originally quite open, but when he heard my question, his face became more and more ugly. There was a slight staggering under his feet, and even his breath was a little cramped for a while.
I watched the flush at the base of his ears spread to the socket of his neck, and I knew that I was being mean to him for what he owed to him, and that it was a little offensive to say that he was right. After all, it is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince of the Tang and Tang Dynasties, and I think that apart from the emperor, no one else in this world dares to make fun of Gong Wan so presumptuously.
If the wait really provokes him, how can I afford the thunderous wrath of His Royal Highness the Prince?
"You let me down first." I was scared in my heart, and my tone couldn't help but weaken a little, "I must be tired after walking for so long......"
"Huh? It's okay..."Ben was still thinking about how to answer my question, and when he saw that I was suddenly a little tender, he was also in a trance. "You're very light, I can send you back to Taopinlou like this......"
"Hun said," I blushed slightly, looking at the sky not far away that was reflected like daylight, "There is Peach Blossom Street in front, I can walk back by myself." Look at you panting like this, what can you do? β
Xu is my tone was too coquettish compared to the strength of the right people, and as soon as the feet of the palace flag were weak, his arms trembled and he unloaded his strength.
I didn't expect him to be like this, and he fell to the ground unexpectedly. Miyahata was startled and stretched out his hand to catch it, but the movement was really slow, not only did he not catch my body that fell to the ground, but he also fell on top of me in embarrassment.
"-Lian, Lian girl!"
Hearing my low cry as he pressed my chest, Miyahata's handsome and delicate face suddenly swelled into an ugly pork liver color. Convulsed, he hurriedly rolled to the side and panted repeatedly, "I'm sorry! I missedβ"
I was so weak that I wriggled on the ground in embarrassment. Seeing this, Miyahata got up sluggishly and pulled me up.
I was so ashamed that I didn't know whether to comfort him or count him down. Only sit in place, protect your hands in front of your chest, and let each other's heavy breaths spray on each other's faces.
"You really areβ" I stopped talking, looking at his apologetic and confused face and gritting my teeth, "What the hell is going on with you, you- you are deliberately manipulating me, right?" β
"What... I don't! I-"
"Why the hell did you save me," I said in a bit of annoyance, "βdon't get off the hook, you know what I'm trying to ask, why did you enter your own brother's mansion and disguise yourself?" He made an appointment to meet me that day, but why was he stopped in the city by the gatekeepers? β
"Even girl, I ......"
"βwait a minute."
"Miss Lian, listen to meβ"
"Someone's coming!"
The palace flag was stunned, and then his round eyes stopped his breath. I listened carefully, and sure enough, I heard the footsteps of the three long streets next door becoming clearer and clearer. It should be a group of officers and soldiers, running quickly in the direction of me and Miyahata at the moment.
"Three, twenty," I muttered, "it must be coming for us......"
"Really... How so! Miyahata was stunned, "Is it the third brother's person?" It's still the fourth brother's... Is it from the Prince's Mansion? β
"I don't know."
Miyahata's panicked voice was noisy, but at the moment I was a little ashamed that it was difficult to speak. "Xu is the right person to attract them because my voice is too loud, it is not the time of curfew, and the patrols in the city will not care about our noise - it should be, it can't be wrong, it must be the Prince Huan's Mansion who noticed that I was rescued, so he sent troops to chase me out!"
"-What..."Miyahata was shocked, "I can't be caught by the third brother, you..."
"Then hurry up and follow me back to the Taopin Building!"
"-Gui Hotaru?"
A spirit turned around, and the blue robe flashed in front of him, but he saw Duan Ming suddenly stop behind me. I was overjoyed, and I exclaimed, turned around, and hugged his calfβ
"Duan Ming! How did you end up here? β
"I just went back to Kazhou, and I heard a large group of people coming not far away, so I rushed to take a look." Duan Ming squatted down to support my body that was about to fall, his eyes were filled with indescribable joy and surprise, "I didn't expect it to be you, Gui Ying, what the hell is going on?" β
"It's too late to explain, Duan Ming, send us back to Taopin Building, the people from Prince Huan's Mansion wantβ"
"βdo you know martial arts?" The palace banner behind me suddenly interrupted my words, and his eyes stared straight at the sword in Duan Ming's hand, and he hurriedly said, "Your kung fu shouldn't be bad, go and help us get rid of those tails!" β
Duan Ming didn't get up, just frowned and looked at the palace flag from top to bottom, and then turned his head to look at me suspiciously, as if asking, "Who is this person?" β
"Don't listen to him," I said to Duan Ming briefly, "It's not easy to get rid of the people of Prince Huan's Mansion, wouldn't it be the initiative to provoke the killer?" Duan Ming, take us back to the Taopin Building-"
"-I'm not going," Gong Ha pursed his mouth, not knowing what kind of anger he contained, and only glared at Duan Ming Dao coldly, "If you want to go back with him, go back yourself." β
"What's wrong with you!" I didn't have a good breath and said, "We are kind enough to save you, but you still pick and choose, right?" β
"I didn't..."Shi Cai still stared at Duan Ming's palace banner with cold eyes, but when he heard my sharp voice, his expression suddenly became a little timid, and he flashed his big eyes aggrievedly and whispered, "I didn't pick, it's just that Taopinlou is the largest restaurant in Jiazhou City, and it is inevitable that the imperial court will gather powerful people, and if I am recognized at that time, I will definitely expose my whereabouts!" β
