Chapter 16 Gentleness

Shui Ling'er was stunned, and tears rolled down.

Fang Yu hurriedly hugged her into his arms and comforted Shui Ling'er before she cried, they were surrounded by generals under King Jing, if they saw King Jing crying like a woman, the army's heart would be shaken.

Situ Jing, who was already dizzy, could not have thought of so much, he walked up to Fang Yu and said sternly, "Fang Yu, are you provoking me?" actually hugged Shui Ling'er in front of him.

Fang Yu said calmly, "Miss Shui Ling'er, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's talk about it when I go back." He also especially accentuated the tone of Shui Ling'er's three words, just to let King Jing understand their situation.

Situ Jing heard the intention of Fang Yu's words, snorted angrily, turned around and didn't want to look more, and said, "Go back to the barracks."

A few hours later, they returned to the barracks, and Shui Ling'er was already asleep and snoring in the carriage.

Situ Jing just said plainly, "It's ugly." He stepped forward to pick her up, but he was using Shui Ling'er's body, and he couldn't hold his original body at all.

Fang Yu said respectfully beside him, "King Jing, please forgive me." After speaking, he got into the carriage, picked Shui Ling'er down, and walked into the manager's tent.

Situ Jing followed behind, although he was not convinced in his heart, he had no choice but to think of quickly changing his body with Shui Ling'er.

After Fang Yu put Shui Ling'er on the bed, he saluted and left, and did not forget to tell him before leaving, "King Jing, be gentle with girls, especially Shui Ling'er, the more fierce you are to her, the more she will want to run away."

Situ Jing nodded his head in understanding and said, "You should rest early." He motioned for him to hurry away.

Fang Yu saw King Jing's intentions, chuckled lightly and left.

Situ Jing didn't want to be gentle with her, but she always behaved in a way that would anger him, just like now he helped her take off her coat so that she could sleep well, but she turned over several times, and it took him a lot of effort to take off her coat, help her take off her shoes, and was kicked several times.

He was always at odds with her, but he was planted in her hands, he climbed into bed and slept beside her, and when he was about to say goodnight, Shui Ling'er muttered in a dream, "Brother Jing, don't be angry."

The corners of Situ Jing's mouth rose slightly, and her mood became joyful, she even dreamed of him, but Shui Ling'er's next dream words made him want to strangle her.

Shui Ling'er smiled brightly and said, "Fang Yu is the best for me."

Situ Jing said unhappily, "Am I not good enough for you?"

In response to him, there were only bursts of snoring, Situ Jing turned his back to her like a child, and for a moment, she straddled him, he sighed helplessly, turned around, and said, "Good night, Shui Ling'er."

The next day, close to noon, in the military and political tent, Ah Jiu handed the Xuanqing Sword to Situ Jing, and explained what happened, and finally he paused, looked at Situ Jing's unchanged expression, and said: "Please King Jing must not marry Da Mao Ni, the reason for the matter will be known when King Jing has seen his wife."

Situ Jing said flatly: "Before the wedding, I want to see the fathers and mothers of both parties, Shui Ling'er's father has passed away, and my mother wants to see each other when she is alive." He didn't think that after meeting Shui Ling'er's mother, he would change his mind to marry Shui Ling'er.

Ah Jiu didn't reply, this matter is complicated, and it is also related to the emperor, so it is not his little guard who can explain a thing or two.

Situ Jing saw that the sun was scorching outside, and Shui Ling'er didn't get up until this time, he said to Fang Yu: "Fang Yu, go see if Shui Ling'er has gotten up, if she gets up and asks her to come to see me."

"Yes."

Fang Yu walked into the manager's tent and saw that there was no one on the bed, and when he was wondering where Shui Ling'er went, a commotion sounded on the side to attract his attention.

Shui Ling'er took a bamboo pole to push away the ashes that had been burned to white ash on the ground, and a ball of burned white ash appeared in front of her eyes from the dirt the size of a winter melon, and she happily shouted to the soldiers on the side, "Go get the bamboo pole and pull it out." A group of soldiers beside her picked up the bamboo poles on the ground one after another, and carefully pulled out the balls of dirt that had been burned to white ash.

Fang Yu walked up to her, and in front of outsiders, he said respectfully, "King Jing, what are you doing here?"

Shui Ling'er squatted down, knocked a ball of dirt with a branch, and said, "I'm roasting a flower chicken." She brushed away the dirt with her hands, and the smell of roast chicken came to her nose.

She pulled away the blackened lotus leaves on the outside of the chicken, revealing a golden roast chicken, and she excitedly pulled off a chicken leg and gave it to Fang Yu, saying, "Fang Yu, haven't you eaten it?" It's delicious."

A soldier on the side said while biting on the flower chicken: "Lord Fang, this is a flower chicken that we only have among the people, I didn't expect King Jing to make this rural delicacy, it feels so kind."

They originally thought that King Jing's high-ranking prince must have never eaten this, and he might even disdain this folk delicacy, but they didn't expect that a few hours ago, King Jing personally made this called flower chicken, made dozens of them at a time, and put them on the fire to roast, without pretending to others at all.

Fang Yu was born into a big family, he had never eaten called Hua Chicken, and he didn't know that there was this rural game, he saw that Shui Ling'er and the generals got along well, and narrowed the relationship with them, which Situ Jing couldn't do.

Seeing Fang Yu's hesitation, Shui Ling'er directly stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth, it was rude, she said excitedly, "Fang Yu, how does it taste?"

Fang Yu took a bite and reached out to hold the chicken thigh, although it was not as delicious as the chef's cooking, but it had a different flavor, he said, "It's delicious."

Shui Ling'er seemed to be praised, happily gnawing on the flower chicken in her hand, without any image at all, and it didn't take long for her face to be covered with oil stains called the flower chicken.

Fang Yu chuckled and whispered in her ear, "Shui Ling'er, King Jing is looking for you, he is in the military and political tent."

Shui Ling'er finished eating the flower chicken in her hand, nodded, reached out to wipe the oil stains on her mouth with her sleeve, and then wiped off the clothes on both sides of her body with both hands.

Fang Yu was stunned, and when she was about to ask her to change her clothes, she was already holding a ball of gray dirt and running towards the military and political tent.

Fang Yu sighed and followed quickly, he was going to be a peacemaker again.

Shui Ling'er entered the political tent, and she shouted excitedly, "Brother Jing, what do you think I brought you?"

Ah Jiu on the side stood to the side, and when he saw the gray and white ball she was holding, he knew that it was called Huaji, and when they were in Shanzhai Village, they often made this for a group of people to eat.

Situ Jing originally looked at the official document in his hand, he slowly raised his head, and when he saw Shui Ling'er's appearance, he couldn't help frowning, his hair was slightly messy, and there were still some oil stains on his face, the silver gray clothes seemed to be stained with something, a lump of black, which was not tight, the sleeves of his hands were obviously dirty, and the same was true of the clothes next to the sleeves, he remembered that the clothes he prepared for her were clean, and they became like this in less than half a day.

He said unhappily, "What did you do?" It's dirty.

"I made a flower chicken, Brother Jing will eat it." She squatted down to remove the soil, opened the lotus leaf and pulled out a chicken leg in front of Situ Jing, and said happily, "It's delicious."

Situ Jing looked at her, resisting the urge to scold her for using herself dirty, if she was gentle with her as Fang Yu said, would she get closer to him? He smiled faintly and said, "It's very fragrant." He took the chicken leg and took a bite of it, and said lightly, "It's delicious."

Shui Ling'er was overjoyed, handed the whole chicken to Situ Jing, and said, "There are many more here."

Situ Jing put down the leftover chicken bones and said, "I'll eat it later, and I'll use you up first."

Fang Yu came in at this time, he was surprised by the harmonious atmosphere, but his hanging heart was also relaxed, and he, a peacemaker, no longer had to stand up as an arrow target.

In a moment, in the boss's tent, three small soldiers carried in a bath bucket filled with hot water, saluted Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er, and left one after another.

Situ Jing said flatly, "Take off your clothes."

Shui Ling'er was stunned, wrapped her hands around her chest, looked at Situ Jing with an aggrieved expression, and said, "You, what do you want to do to me?"

Situ Jing said angrily, "Take a bath." She has run naked with his body, will she be afraid of people looking at her?

"But men and women don't kiss."

Situ Jing didn't expect this sentence in Shui Ling'er's dictionary, she usually saw that she had a lot of fun with his generals, and Fang Yu was even more intimate and unscrupulous, so he was not kissed by men and women? He said, "You are using my body now, I have seen it since I was a child, and there is nothing to hide."

Shui Ling'er felt that Situ Jing was reasonable, so she began to take off her clothes, but she was still shy, and after she took it off, she hurriedly ran into the bathtub and sat with her hands on her knees.

Situ Jing removed the bun on her head and skillfully washed her hair, this was the first time he served someone, and she was the only one who could make him willing to pay.

Both of them were silent, only the sound of Situ Jing scrubbing his hair with a water spoon, Shui Ling'er said uncomfortably, "Brother Jing, when can we go back to King Jing's Mansion?"

"The emperor has decreed that if the Chu State does not send a peace letter, I will lead the army to attack the Chu State, so it will take a while to return to the house."

Shui Ling'er couldn't help but be scared, and said, "I won't fight." In the past, she only robbed her belongings, and at most knocked people unconscious with a wooden stick.

"Don't worry, with me, I will take care of you." Even if he uses this daughter's body, he will still do his best to protect her.

Shui Ling'er's heart was moved, and her cheeks were rosy, which was stronger than Fang Yu's feeling.

But thinking of what she had done to him at the beginning, she felt guilty in her heart, she lowered her head and said, "Brother Jing, I'm sorry."

Situ Jing said flatly, "For what?"

"If we hadn't robbed you of your wealth and lust in the first place, our bodies wouldn't have been exchanged." She knew that her daughter had many constants.

"I can't forgive you." Situ Jing said lightly, without a trace of anger.

Shui Ling'er knew that Situ Jing would not forgive her easily, so she muttered, "Then what do you want me to do to forgive me?"

Situ Jing stopped what he was doing and was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Use your whole life to compensate me." His cheeks were hot, and he couldn't say anything to ask her to love him, so it would take her a lifetime to make her fall in love with him.

Shui Ling'er didn't understand what Situ Jing meant, and said cheerfully, "Okay."
