Chapter 22: Beauty
The hustle and bustle on the riverbank gradually reached its climax, and the night grew darker.
The candle flame on the desk is getting shorter and shorter, the wax torch melts, piled up under the candlestick, and the colored lights outside are faintly reflected on the window lattice, faintly extravagant and demonic.
Jiang Heng originally wanted to talk to Gu Chen about whether to change the port to dock the ship, or even if it was farther away from the shore of these Qinglou boats, but Gu Chen got off the boat after arriving at Anqing Mansion, and he never came back, he looked for Xiao Cheng again, but Xiao Cheng said that this was ordered by King Xiang, and he didn't dare to specialize.
Fang Xuan remembered Jiang Heng's flushed face and the appearance of letting her rest earlier at night, which was quite funny.
Although she doesn't care, Jiang Heng has read a lot of sage books, and she is the most decent and gentle character, so she naturally feels inappropriate.
It is precisely this kind of character that can save his life in the imperial examination fraud case, Fang Xuan didn't plan to let him change it, smiled and responded "good", and said two more words to send the person out, but turned his face and brought the maidservant girl to appreciate the infinite spring outside......
I'm afraid that Jiang Heng will find out, no matter how gentle he is, he will take out his cousin's style to train people with a straight face.
"County Lord." Wen Xi stood outside and didn't come in, "Lord Xiao, they have caught someone, it's ......"
There was some hesitation in her words, Fang Xuan heard it, put down the letter sent by the princess in her hand, let her in, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"It's the little beggar in the day."
Although he only glanced at it and had never seen his face, Wen Xi remembered that there was a wound where the man's arm was exposed, as if it was left by a fight and tearing.
Because she was afraid that something would happen to Fang Xuan, she had been guarding outside before, and Xiao Cheng and the others happened to witness it when they chased it out, and they also followed.
The torches on the deck were shaking, and although there were glass lights on the bow of the ship, it was not as clear at night as it was during the day, and Wen Xi still recognized the torn clothes and the wounds on his arms, so he bowed back and forth.
Fang Xuan listened, pondered for a moment, and followed Wen Xi to the hall where Gu Chen was interrogating.
As soon as I entered, there were very many people, and there was a strange man with a polite manner, but she was her cousin Jiang Heng, who was studying hard day and night on the boat.
She smiled sweetly and saluted Xiao Cheng first, then looked at Gu Chen and bowed slightly, then walked to Jiang Yi and sat down, and asked softly, "But what did you ask?" β
Xiao Cheng nodded, but the strange man stood up, bowed to her, and said, "Xiaosheng Xie Yan has seen the Duanning County Lord. β
Fang Xuan smiled slightly, he was okay.
Jiang Yi looked at her and Gu Chen quietly, and whispered in her ear: "I didn't ask anything, I heard that I choked on water and fainted." β
Her face was slightly red, as if she was a little excited.
Fang Xuan nodded, looking at a figure curled up under Gu Chen, she couldn't see her appearance, but the clothes were vaguely seen during the day, and the material was okay, but a few places had been torn, revealing a white and greasy complexion.
He was already soaking wet, his clothes were clinging to his body, his body was slender, but he was slender and thin, and the butterfly bones on his back protruded, delicate and gorgeous, and his appearance must not be bad.
If it weren't for being too down-and-out, such a thin and beautiful boy would be a bit like a person. She said secretly.
"Wake up." Gu Chen saw Fang Xuan come in, his frowning brows did not stretch, and Junyi's face was full of impatience.
Fang Xuan thought, and he didn't know if he was disturbed by this person, so he looked so fierce.
With a command, Gu Chen's subordinates had already brought water in, and Hulala poured his head on the man.
Fang Xuan naturally wouldn't stop it.
She was raised by the princess under her knees when she was five years old, although she followed Fang Jin to read and learn words, but she also heard and saw it, followed the princess to read a few Buddhist scriptures and worshiped a few temples, and occasionally met poor people on the road, she would also follow the princess to do good, after all, she is not an enemy, she has the ability, how about charity?
Qingwangfu has always been a kind family that convinces people with virtue.
That's why they act like that during the day.
But now the situation is different, this person has bad intentions, and he followed them all the way to the boat, and he was suspected of plotting against him, and he was taken right by Gu Chen.
It is said that this ship is a royal ship, and the prince and the prince live on it, if she did not walk with Gu Chen today, but took the royal merchant ship, and someone mixed in, she would never be soft.
Gu Chen didn't kill his personality on the spot, which surprised Fang Xuan a little.
A basin of water was poured, and a guard slapped the young man's chest, poured another basin, and slapped again, and so on, and so on, and after a while, the man moved his body slightly.
"Ahemβ" He coughed up a lot of water, clutching his throat and chest in an unusually painful look, "ahem, ahem." β
Seeing that the person woke up, Gu Chen didn't speak, and slowly took a bite of the teacup, and the afterglow swept to Fang Xuan, who was sitting in a precarious position, and snorted secretly in his heart.
Since Wen Xi recognized it, how could Qingyun look away? Naturally, everything has already been said.
Pretending!
King Qing harbored evil intentions, and there were already traces to follow, but he was just afraid that he would be affected by the whole body, which would be unfavorable to the overall situation of the country, so he had been indulgent, and even persuaded the prince and his father to suspend the feudal order, and let him think about it for two more days.
How can such a person be the "King of the Blue Sky" praised by the people of Lingnan?
What he did was nothing more than deceiving his superiors and subordinates.
This woman is the same.
pretended to be pure and harmless, soft and amiable, and rescued people in public, just if he Gu Chen was a blind fool, he would be blinded by these tricks?
He put down the teacup heavily, Qingyun took two steps forward, bent down to look at the person on the ground, and said coldly, "Who are you?" Why steal a boat? β
The tone was solemn, and he was really worried about Gu Chen's safety.
Fang Xuan looked away and looked at this maid named Qingyun, but he felt in a trance that someone was looking at him, and when he looked up, there was no trace of him again.
After a while, the boy slowly stopped coughing and struggled to get up, but he lost his strength and fell to the ground again, crawled again, and fell again......
He moves slowly, but he is firm and powerful, and he is not embarrassed. On the contrary, it seems that the struggle of the colorful butterfly before breaking the cocoon, the unyielding of the phoenix when it is nirvana, has an indescribable beauty.
No one stopped him.
Finally, he stood up slowly, his originally rickety back also straightened, and he looked straight at Qingyun in front of him, as if he was looking for something, and looked very carefully and attentively.
Jiang Ting probed slightly.
No. He shook his head, his eyes fell on Gu Chen, and soon passed, this time he didn't even glance at Xie Yan, and looked at Jiang Wei, Leshui, and Sandalwood......
Fang Xuan looked at the young man in shock.
It's really him!
The young man is extremely beautiful, with phoenix eyes and red lips, facial features as bright as peach and plum, snow-white complexion, and the lip flaps of begonia flowers are as beautiful as the morning glow, seducing the soul.
The ragged clothes were nothing more than something outside his body, and they did not affect his beauty in the slightest.
The light in those phoenix eyes was amazing.
With such a face, how could Fang Xuan not recognize it!
The youngest marquis of the Dazhen Dynasty, the jade-faced king of Yama who terrified tens of thousands of water bandits in the South Seas, and the first-class general of the Zhenguo, Fu Yu.
It turned out that he actually met Gu Chen here, no wonder he would work hard for Gu Chen, and he didn't even care if he was ridiculed and cut off his sleeves.
Some people seek glory, some people seek stability, and some people have never been humiliated because they are different from others, as long as you give him a dignity, you can get him to follow him for a lifetime.
The situation at this moment, coupled with Fu Yu's unconventional appearance, combined with the injuries and downcast appearance on his body, as well as Gu Chen's disdainful temperament, Fang Xuan can guess the beginning and the end no matter how stupid he is.
Not only her, but everyone was stunned by such a face that captivated the country and the city, even Gu Chen had never seen such a beautiful man, and no one spoke for a while.
"You saved me."
Fang Xuan was used to seeing this face before, and after a moment, the surprise on his face was gone, and he heard his hoarse voice, his eyes were full of deep light, and he said word by word.
It's not an inquiry, it's a certainty.
