Chapter 11: Tipping
Meili woke up Jiang Liu, who was sleeping beside her, she was still young, and it was time to snooze. Meili was afraid that she would scream in her dream again, and she couldn't bear to let Jiang Liu, who had been running with her all day, be on duty at night, so she had to restrain her sleepiness and persist until dawn.
Knowing that Cheng Yi and Jing Xuan were going to leave for Fengtai this morning, she urged Jiang Liu to get up early, so as not to delay their trip.
After grooming and tidying up, she thought that Cheng Yi and Jing Xuan had not gotten up yet, but when she pushed the door out, she found that the two had already finished dismantling a set of boxing techniques, and the front and back of the thin shirt were wet with sweat. Both of them gasped slightly, and when they saw her come out, they both stopped.
Jing Xuan's subordinates brought two basins of water to serve them to wipe themselves and change their clothes, Meili was a little embarrassed, and it seemed too contrived to retreat into the room, so she had to lower her head and go outside the courtyard to pretend to take a walk. Fortunately, a soldier brought breakfast soon, and she followed back to help set it up.
Cheng Yi had already changed into his robe, standing silently under the tree, Meili looked at him, although he was still silent, the dejected look when he first saw him dissipated a lot, and there was some brilliance in the originally silent eyes. She was a little sad, he regarded the battle with Dzungar as the sustenance of his life, right? In fact, in the past two years, Brother Cheng Yi has had a harder life than her, she ...... He also knew that he would go out one day, but he didn't know when he would be free.
"Let's eat." She called him softly, because she was defenseless, sadness penetrated her voice, and she choked up a little. I used to think that Brother Chengyi's heart was more than ...... Jing Xuan was still hard, she smiled bitterly, she would never look at people, and she would never see other people's hearts.
With yesterday's experience, Jing Xuan's attendants didn't dare to mess around, whatever the soldiers sent was what it was, because the prince came, the cook specially mixed a few plates of cold dishes, Jing Xuan ate the steamed buns without saying a word, and didn't touch them. Meili ate slowly, she knew very well how he felt when he couldn't swallow at the moment, and she had also experienced it. didn't think about it so much, she moved the pickles in front of her to him, compared to the terrifying taste of the mixed vegetables, the pickles were much more refreshing. Jing Xuan looked at her coldly, Meili lowered her eyes and avoided his eyes, he shouldn't think that she was deliberately currying favor with him, and had other plans, right? The knot between her and him is too heavy, and it would be best to ignore each other, and she is reckless again.
Fortunately, Jing Xuan didn't say anything more, and ate half a plate of pickles and two steamed buns.
After scribbling the meal, Cheng Yi ordered the soldiers to lead the horses, and Meili also hurriedly got up and planned to find her coachman.
"Ride a horse, hurry." Cheng Yi patted the saddle.
Meili hesitated for a moment, thinking about the bumps and speed when she came, and nodded.
Meili sat in Cheng Yi's arms, the speed of the horse was not too fast, the spring breeze was warm, the sun was soft and warm, she didn't sleep well all night, sleepiness slowly invaded, she unconsciously hugged Cheng Yi's waist, and found a comfortable and safe position to fall asleep.
Jing Xuan gradually lost hearing the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, and looked back with some confusion, Cheng Yi had fallen far away, and he pulled the horse to stop with some impatience. Cheng Yi slowly caught up, and he saw Meili who was asleep.
"Trouble!" He frowned and cursed.
Cheng Yi ignored it, and still moved slowly, and the two entourages of Jing Xuan behind him could not surpass Cheng Yi because one of them was carrying Jiang Liu, so he could only follow behind slowly.
"She ......" Cheng Yi looked down at Meili who was slightly pulled back to reveal the scar on her arm because she was holding him, he gently pulled up her sleeve and looked closely at the ugly scar and the arrow wound that had not healed, "I must have suffered a lot." ”
Jing Xuan pursed his lips and did not answer.
"Even if it's ......" Cheng Yi looked at Meili's pale little face, because of tiredness, a faint blue and black appeared under his eyes, and he looked even more haggard and weak. You should be nice to her, after all, she once liked you. ”
Jing Xuan snorted coldly, glanced at the scar on her wrist, frowned and turned her face away irritably. Although he had a cold face that was dragged down, he never urged to speed up his journey.
After all, it was on a horse, and the strong sleepiness passed, and I still couldn't sleep well.
Miri came to her senses, regretfully let go of the arm that was holding Chengyi's waist, and sat up straight. She fell asleep, and Cheng Yi's arm with the reins still had to bear the weight of her body, so it must have been sore along the way, right?
"I'm sorry." She guiltily rubbed Chengyi's arm, "It must be sore." She complained to herself.
Cheng Yi's lips pulled out a soft arc and shook his head.
"Ahead is the fork in the road between the capital and Fengtai!" Jing Xuan, who was on the side, suddenly said coldly, which seemed a little abrupt.
Meili was stunned, understood what he meant, and raised her head and smiled at Cheng Yi, "I'll go back to Beijing by myself, your business is important." ”
Cheng Yi hesitated, it was already afternoon, although he was already on the official road back to Beijing, there were many pedestrians, after all, it was the home of two young girls, and their carriage was thrown off the journey for half a day, so it was unreassuring.
"There's a post station ahead, let her hire a car to go back." Jing Xuan looked at the sky, "Let's hurry up, otherwise when will we get to Fengtai?!" ”
Meili jumped off the horse, Jiang Liu was also picked up by the entourage, and came to Meili's side with an unhappy face, secretly scolding this good-looking, but not the slightest human King Qing is really not a thing.
"Here's for you!" Jing Xuan threw a small bag with a cold face, Meili was startled, and instinctively caught it, the contents of the small bag hurt her fingers, and the heavy one she held in her hand should be silver.
He sat high on his horse and threw silver at her...... The feeling of humiliation lingered in my heart.
"I have money." She whispered, holding a small bag to return to him, he thought she didn't even have the money to hire a car, and the bitterness gradually covered the humiliation, making her sad for a while. In his eyes, she was indeed humble and embarrassed.
"I'll give it to you." He was very unhappy, and there was a bit of annoyance mixed in his otherwise indifferent tone.
Meili bit her lip, why should she be serious with him. Swallowing her saliva, she forced herself to smile, withdrew her hand, and bowed down to him, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"You!" Jing Xuan was so angry that he pointed a whip at her.
Jiang Liu was really afraid that King Qing would be whipped down, and his face was even more terrifying than just now. "Gege, let's go!" She grabbed Meili and dragged her in the direction of the post station.
When they disappeared around the corner of the official road, Jing Xuan Tie blushed and commanded the two entourages who were secretly complaining with his face: "Follow them, don't let them find out!" Make sure they don't die or get hurt! "It's like he's cursing.
When he finished speaking, he was also very angry, and a whip was drawn on the horse, and the horse neighed and ran wildly.
Cheng Yi followed closely with an expressionless face, Jing Xuan ran for a while, and the anger finally subsided, after she came out of the cold palace, she didn't know what to do, and it was not just one or two things, he just asked for it!
Seeing that he slowed down, Cheng Yi also pulled the reins.
"Why don't you say it well." Cheng Yi said lightly, and his tone did not fluctuate.
"Say it well?! What if she gets entangled again! Jing Xuan snorted hatefully.
"Not anymore."
Jing Xuan was stunned for a moment and didn't speak again.
