Chapter 105: Ancient Tomb in Distress (2)
It wasn't until there was a certain distance from the gate of the capital that the two of them changed to the carriage, in the carriage, relatively silent, He Xi only felt that there was a clear aroma of wine lingering on the tip of her nose, lingering, she felt a little stuffy, and lifted a corner of the curtain sideways, letting the night breeze blow in slowly.
She sat up straight and looked at Tuoba Yue opposite her, at this time he was leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, the edges and corners were soft, and he suddenly gave birth to a look of unguardedness, no longer like the cold as before, nor like that step-by-step, but like a big boy, yes, they are only twenty years old, but they are all old-fashioned.
Seeing that Tuoba Yue didn't react, He Xi's courage gradually grew, his eyes went all the way down from the thick eyebrows and eyes, and fell on the thin lips, everyone said that the thin lips were ruthless, I don't know why, He Xi's mind actually appeared that day of the palace banquet, a scene behind the rockery, her face burned, and the sultry feeling that was blown away by the night wind surged up like a tide, as if to drown herself.
She forced herself to turn her gaze away, looking at the retreating woods on the side, there were many dark shadows outside, the road had been raining these days, it was inevitable that it was a little muddy, suddenly, the wheel of the carriage seemed to run over a stone stuck in the muddy water, and it jolted suddenly, and He Xi, who was leaning obliquely in front of the window, was unstable, and his body was light, and he crashed towards the car wall behind.
However, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the pain coming, I only felt that there was a pair of strong and powerful hands behind me, firmly holding my waist, the temperature of the palm, through the thin summer cloth, came over for a while, but it was only a moment of effort, and then it dissipated, Tuoba Yue withdrew his hand, sat on the side as if unintentionally, and said loudly to Yue Qi, who was driving outside: "What's the matter?" ”
Yue Qi said with some embarrassment: "It's late at night, and my subordinates haven't seen the road clearly." ”
What Yue Qi couldn't imagine was that Tuoba Yue didn't express any of his thoughts, but just fell into silence again, but his heart became more and more uneasy, how strange was the prince, he pondered for a moment before he made up his mind and asked: "Prince, are you and the little master okay?" ”
"We're good." It was just four simple words, but it made He Xi's face in the carriage red, what do you mean by their good feelings, is he enjoying - enjoying - thinking like this, she only felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, so she could only keep moving in the direction of the car window, and then move it again, trying to stay away from Tuoba Yue.
"If you don't want to stay in the carriage, you can go out and drive with the seventh month." The person who closed his eyes and recuperated slowly spit out a sentence, He Xi was stunned, and his movements froze there, this person was really weird, and he reluctantly sat back in his original position, hanging his head and playing with the jade pendant he tied around his waist, a hollow pattern of a fish jumping over the dragon gate, He Xi couldn't help but smile a little, and he didn't know where Ruyi found it, such a cheesy jade pendant.
There was a muddy sound in his ears, and a muffled thunder, Tuoba Yue opened his eyes, it seemed to be a little tired, and at the same time, accompanied by worry, he saw He Xi was playing with the jade pendant in his hand with interest, and looked over, only to see the slender fingers rubbing up and down the jade pendant, and the white mutton fat jade, under her fingertips, was inevitably a little eclipsed.
"It's going to rain-" Tuoba Yue stretched out her hand to lower the curtain next to He Xi's body, He Xi seemed to hear the worry in Tuoba Yue's tone, she frowned and pondered, and then guessed for a moment and said, "Are you worried about the people in Shu?" ”
Tuoba Yue glanced at her, and saw that she looked serious, as if she was used to being looked at like this, he turned his face away, and turned his face a little unwillingly, and said in a muffled voice: "What do you think?" He Xi, what kind of person am I in your heart? ”
The tone is familiar, as if it is an old friend's reminiscence.
What kind of people are they? He Xi lowered her eyes and continued to stare at the jade pendant in her hand, before she thought that he knew him, understood the entire Tuoba royal family, for the purpose, unscrupulous means, Tuoba Chen framed Zhongliang for the throne, and Tuoba Yue for the throne, and Tuoba Yue will also one day face each other with his siblings and swords, becoming a king and defeating a king, the same truth has remained unchanged since ancient times.
But he also helped himself save the slaves in the prison of sins, and invited Concubine De in time to save Tuobalain's life, these things seemed to He Xi. can't help but feel that his great cause is useless, and he will even expose himself, so what kind of person is Tuoba Yue? Maybe she didn't know either.
Is he trustworthy? Speaking of the word trust, He Xi couldn't help but have a wry smile on the corner of his mouth? Trust? In her opinion, this word is too far away, the price of trusting a person is too great, it hurts her bones and hurts her heart, she is not qualified to trust others, and in the same way, she is not qualified to let others trust, is she?
The person on the other side seemed to have been waiting for He Xi's answer, and a thousand tastes kept emerging between his lips and teeth, and He Xi finally said in an obscure voice: "His Royal Highness King Xian has the world in his heart and cares about the people, and he should be the Ming Jun of my calendar." ”
Such words obviously did not please Tuoba Yue, so I heard him snort coldly: "You are wrong, this king is not that kind of person, I am the same as you think, people who will do anything for the end, what innocent lives, what things in my opinion, compared with my own goals, are all worthless." ”
One word at a time, it was all evil and arrogant, He Xi could only shut up, and the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly dropped to freezing, but fortunately, Yue Qi outside said in time: "Lord Wang, little master, it's here." ”
Tuoba Yue got out of the carriage first, and walked in front like a gust of wind, and the night wind poured in from the open door, blowing the wipe on the back of her head, and she was completely like a handsome boy.
She jumped out of the carriage with a light posture, Yue Qi looked at the condensed faces of the two, and complained bitterly in her heart, sure enough, what does it mean that they are very good, while feeling sorry for himself, he quickly stopped the carriage on the side and followed, He Xi looked around, and the one in front of him could still distinguish the direction.
She was still young when she came to the imperial mausoleum before, and she couldn't remember the specific structure of this ancient mausoleum, so she could only follow Tuoba Yue's footsteps step by step. Yue Qi stepped forward and pressed a loose green brick on the stone wall, only the sound of clicking could be heard, and the door was divided into two sides, and only one person could pass through the gap when it was opened. Tuoba Yue walked sideways, He Xi followed behind, and the end of the Yueqi team was also to deal with an emergency.
Tuoba Yue's fingers seemed to unintentionally push on the stone wall on the side, and the stone door was closed, He Xi looked back, only to see that the sky was terrible, there was not even a trace of moonlight, and she could vaguely hear the howl of a jackal, she couldn't help but shudder, as if she saw He Xi's embarrassment, Tuoba Yue was in a good mood and said: "This ancient mausoleum covers a very large area, and this mass grave in Fang Cai is one of the exits, by the way, you didn't step on the road anything." ”
After speaking, he laughed twice, in the long corridor, against the backdrop of the bright and dark torches in front of him, He Xi only felt that Tuoba Yue's face actually had some gloomy atmosphere, and he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, but he didn't want Yue Qi to stand behind him speechless for a while, when did his prince become so boring, and what was his behavior? Who can tell him to intimidate a woman who has the power of a chicken by mistake?
Although He Xi is different from ordinary women in his seriousness, but women are women, and for a moment, Yueqi actually felt that she was a little ashamed of her own prince.
Tuoba Yue observed He Xi's reaction, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, obviously in a very good mood, his eyebrows stretched, and he walked forward with a torch.
A few people went around all the way, He Xi only felt that he smelled a breath of earth, and sure enough, in the next second, the stone door opened, and he saw the scene in front of him, the semi-circular huge tomb roof, which should have been made by skilled craftsmen in a few ventilated air windows, these soldiers who were training were not wearing armor and soft clothes, but just thick linen clothes worn by ordinary poor people, and the tools in their hands were also strange, hoes, forks, shovels, all kinds of strange shapes.
But there was no trace of joke on everyone's face, waving the strangely shaped tools in their hands and practicing in an orderly manner, between the resolute eyebrows and eyes, there was a faint aura of slaughter, obviously a well-trained soldier, which made He Xi couldn't help but be impressed.
Seeing Tuoba Yue coming, a man with a beard on his face strode over, also in coarse linen clothes, with a steady pace, walked in front of the two, and arched his hand at the two and said, "Lord Wang!" ”
Tuoba Yue waved his hand, turned around and introduced He Xi and said: "This is - Jin Gongzi, a friend of this king, and this is Wang Lang, the commander of the shadow army." ”
He Xi also hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Commander Wang." ”
Wang Lang's laughter was loud, and his voice was loud, echoing throughout the empty tomb: "Jin Gongzi is really polite, I, Wang Lang, am a rough man, and I don't know what to say, and the prince also knows, if there is anything inconsiderate, please don't mind Jin Gongzi, hahahaha-"
He Xi only felt that this person was simply straightforward and a little cute, and he couldn't help but bend his eyes and said with a smile: "The command is serious." ”
Wang Lang was stunned, he originally only thought that this Jin Gongzi looked feminine and evil, but he didn't want to laugh like this and gave birth to a somewhat bewitching look, Rao is a man can't help but look a little stupid, Tuoba Yue on the side of the eyes sank, took a step forward, as if unintentionally blocked between the two, and asked, "Is Mr. Gao here?" ”
