Chapter 172: Xu Gongzi VS Lord Chen
"Manxi, the story you said today is very good, let's talk about it again." Wang Shishi suddenly proposed.
"Don't, don't, it's so dark now, I don't dare to listen." Li Yuehui still had palpitations today, almost sticking to Chen Xiuli's side without leaving, where did she dare to listen again, and immediately raised her hand to refuse.
"Ouch, it's been a long night, it's boring, it's interesting to tell a story." Wang Shishi still wants to hear the story.
"Don't, I ate too much barbecue today, and my mouth is very dry, so I don't want to talk about it. Shishi, you lie down earlier, tomorrow you still have something to do, we will go down the mountain at dawn. Hua Manxi said lazily.
"That's right, cousin, you still have to be busy tomorrow, worship the gods and Buddhas, and when you return home, you have to worship your ancestors, and you have to make a group of people's New Year's money, so rest early." Li Yuehui hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, I'll lie down for a while, cousin, you can borrow my clothes." Wang Shishi yawned, thinking that the Chinese New Year would be tomorrow, and there were indeed a bunch of things to be busy, so she could only give in and reach out to Chen Xiuli for clothes.
Chen Xiuli was roasting the fire, it was hot, and he quickly took off the big coat on his body and gave it to her.
Wang Shishi wrapped Chen Xiuli's big coat and fell asleep on the simple shop next to her.
"Miss Li, you can also lie down with Shishi for a while, I'll look at you." Chen Xiuli suddenly raised his eyes, glanced at Li Yuehui, who had been glued to his side, and said in a low voice.
"But I, I-" Li Yuehui is not like Wang Shishi, who has followed Master Wang since she was a child, and often disguises herself as a man to go out to play, she has a bold personality, she is indeed very sleepy, but she is in the same room with a foreign man, and she is not even separated by a curtain, she feels awkward.
Chen Xiuli is just that, she likes him, but Xu Gongzi is also there.
Chen Xiuli saw her thoughts, pulled out the firewood with the bamboo in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Miss Li, don't worry, Gongzi Xu is a righteous gentleman." ”
After Li Yuehui heard this, she involuntarily glanced at Xu Jinfei, but Xu Jinfei's eyes were on Hua Manxi's body from beginning to end, and he didn't glance at anyone else at all.
Her face was slightly hot, and she said to Chen Xiuli: "Then I will bother my cousin." ”
Chen Xiuli nodded and motioned for her to go to sleep.
Li Yuehui was next to Wang Shishi, and the two shared the big coat worn by Chen Xiuli, which was quite warm.
All of a sudden, the humble wooden house was even quieter, and only Xu Jinfei and Chen Xiuli, as well as Hua Manxi, were roasting the fire.
Light Breeze and the rest of the guards were outside, and they also rested in shifts.
"Manxi, are you tired? Why don't you lie down for a while? Xu Jinfei's gaze softly fell on Hua Manxi's cheeks, which were red from the fire, and asked softly.
"I'm a little tired, I'll lean on you and lie down for a while." Hua Manxi also yawned, resting his head on Xu Jinfei's lap casually, with his back to the fire, intending to squint for a while.
However, she still overestimated her physical strength, today she was riding a horse and climbing a mountain, roasting meat and making tea, she was really tired at this time, and just lay on Xu Jinfei's lap for a while, and then fell asleep.
Xu Jinfei found a comfortable position, put her legs flat, let her lie more comfortably, and untied the robe on her body, wrapping her whole body more tightly.
His movements were gentle and skillful, and even his usually cold and indifferent expression was now unguarded in the dark night, so soft that it could almost drip water.
This is really the most beautiful and moving moment for a man. He's a real match for Chef Hua.
Chen Xiuli was a little distracted, he picked up the bamboo tube on the side, drank the snow tea in the tube, and suppressed the gaffe in his heart.
"Brother Xu took Chef Hua out for the night, doesn't her family have any opinions?" Chen Xiuli wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and suddenly asked.
His voice was originally gentle and elegant, with a kind of scholarly clean taste, but tonight I don't know if it was because he ate too much barbecue, it sounded a little hoarse.
"Of course I have an opinion, but I fooled me." Xu Jinfei smiled slightly, and he was unparalleled in elegance and handsome.
He was so frank, Chen Xiuli choked for a while, paused for a while before raising his eyes to look at him, and said bluntly: "Brother Xu, don't you think about the reputation of Chef Hua?" After all, you are not married. ”
As soon as he said this, Xu Jinfei raised his eyebrows, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Fame? What is fame? Since I have identified her, I can definitely make her comfortable and comfortable for the rest of her life, without being wronged, as long as she is happy with me and trusts me, I will definitely live up to her. ”
"Brother Xu, you are too conceited." Chen Xiuli didn't agree with his words, frowned, and suddenly sighed, "Chef Hua is really a rare good girl in the world, she is smart and kind, ingenious, and brave to change, I hope Brother Xu will do what you say, don't let her be wronged." She deserves the best man in the world. ”
"I'm the best man in the world." Xu Shizitian was shameless and unashamed.
Lord Chen: "......." He has never seen such a brazen person, and he is going to die of talking about it this day!
"Brother Xu is also from Kyoto? I don't know who my father is? Chen Xiuli suppressed his urge to roll his eyes at him, and asked patiently.
After all, he is Chef Hua's sweetheart, and bear with his arrogance, if he dares to treat Chef Hua badly, he will naturally ask for an explanation for her.
"My father, Xu Yan, is the prince of Zhenguo." Xu Jinfei suddenly raised his eyes to look at the gray sky, and his voice was low.
"Xu Yan? Zhen Guogong? Chen Xiuli chewed these words, suddenly his eyes changed suddenly, his originally calm and gentle face sank instantly, raised his head and looked at Xu Jinfei again, and said in disbelief, "You, you, you are the prince of Zhenguo, the god of war who swept the Beidi people and guarded the northern frontier?" ”
Xu Jinfei nodded: "It's me." ”
Kyoto people know that the town of the country on the mansion out of a young and talented prince, fourteen years old on the battlefield, the Beidi people run away, after the town of the north for several years, Beidi never dared to offend, heard that this town of the country prince, the appearance is unparalleled, amazing, thirteen years old on the examination of the civil and military double champion, is the whole of the mythical characters in Beijing.
It's a pity that when he was at his most beautiful, Chen Xiuli was confined in the backyard, and he couldn't even guarantee food and clothing, so he didn't hear the name of this prince of Zhenguo.
Chen Xiuli was so shocked that his pupils widened, and he looked at Xu Jinfei several times repeatedly, not to mention that he was amazing, but this appearance can be confirmed, and after he was stunned, he suddenly came to his senses, pointed at Xu Jinfei and said, "You, you're not-"
"Dead?" Xu Jinfei smiled slightly, his eyebrows were dazzling, with a bit of cold murderous aura.
"This is how it was passed on in the court, and the Duke of Zhenguo also submitted an excerpt to set up another son, but His Majesty did not approve it." Chen Xiuli said in a low voice.
"Do you know why His Majesty didn't approve it?" Xu Jinfei looked coldly at the dancing fire, and said word by word, "Because the person who assassinated me was sent by him, and he was sure that I was dead, so he hung the position of the son of the world and pretended to be a play." ”
Chen Xiuli only felt a chill down his spine, raised his eyes to look at Xu Jinfei, and said slowly after a long while: "Then you, then what do you want to do?" What do you want me to do? ”
"Lord Chen is really smart." Xu Jinfei saw that Chen Xiuli looked nervous, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, hiding the anger between his eyebrows, and said casually, "Don't be nervous, I won't kill you, after all, you are a good friend of Manxi, as for things, there is indeed one thing that needs Lord Chen's help, I have investigated you, I know what you want to do, you want to go back to Kyoto, I can help you." ”
The consternation in Chen Xiuli's eyes deepened, but he didn't dare to speak casually.
"And what do you want me to do?" Chen Xiuli said in a dumb voice.
"It's very simple, protect Manxi for me." Xu Jinfei said solemnly, "After you return to Beijing, you will be added to the rank of knight, and I will help you, but I also want to return to Beijing, I don't want Manxi to know about these things, you protect her for me." ”
"Isn't it good for her to stay here?" Chen Xiuli was a little puzzled.
"She can't keep it, after you come out of this food festival, the economy of this place will go up, but Manxi will also become the object of competition for many people, in this world, no one doesn't like yellow and white things." Xu Jinfei sighed slightly.
"In that case, why are you, why are you still letting her do this?" Chen Xiuli's heart shook.
"Lord Chen, you were right just now, I'm too conceited. I don't want to break her wings, she can do whatever she likes, I want her to follow me Xu Jinfei, I am her safest backing, not her stumbling block, I don't want her to be wronged. Xu Jinfei smiled indifferently, his gaze fell softly on Hua Manxi's face, and his eyes were full of doting.
"Brother Xu is open-minded, if Chen can not do it, I will definitely do a good job in this matter, and I will not give up." Chen Xiuli suddenly bowed his hand to Xu Jinfei, made a salute, and swore an oath in convincing words.
The two shook hands tightly and made eye contact, fulfilling a promise between the men.
And Hua Manxi was lying on his lap, sleeping soundly, knowing nothing, and did not wake up until dawn.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky that has been groggy for the past few days has actually come out of the sun, and when the long-lost sun just shone in, Hua Manxi suddenly felt dazzling, rubbed his eyes and stood up, and said: "It's all dawn!" ”
"Or what do you think?" A certain son's voice was a little aggrieved.
Hua Manxi realized that he had slept on someone's legs all night, and hurriedly squatted down and rubbed Xu Jinfei's legs: "Your legs must be numb, I'll rub them for you, why don't you wake me up." ”
Xu Shizi raised his chin arrogantly: "You sleep so deeply, I am reluctant." ”
While the two were talking, Wang Shishi and Li Yuehui, as well as Chen Xiuli, who was asleep against the wood, had already woken up.
Wang Shishi stretched her waist, and at a glance, she saw Hua Manxi rubbing Xu Jinfei's legs, while Xu Jinfei looked at her with a doting and gentle expression.
Miss Wang immediately shuddered, and said to the two of them: "You two don't move, I'll go and find a main marriage right now, and the two of you will get married on the spot." ”
