Chapter 57: The Talisman Changes Hands
Chapter 57: The Talisman Changes Hands
The midday sun poured through the screen window and shone a little, illuminating the people by the bedside lazily.
Xiao Huang woke up from a daze, but in just a second, the drowsiness in her eyes was gone, replaced by a backhand and a grappling......
However, just as the curtain was about to come to an end on her perfect over-the-shoulder throw, she was dumbfounded.
Because the light waves reflected on her retina, in addition to a dazzling red, there was also Nangong Qijue's face comparable to charcoal.
"Good skills." He casually fiddled with the slightly curled sleeves of his coat.
"How are you?"
After being stunned, Xiao Huang subconsciously wanted to help up the person sitting on the ground, but as soon as she took half a step, her body tilted and fell down.
The four eyes are facing each other, and the latter's eyebrows and eyes are like frost.
Seeing this, Xiao Huang held her hands on someone's chest impartially, and she didn't dare to move for half a minute, her face was embarrassed, "My legs are weak." ”
But as soon as the words came out, she suddenly felt a little weird, and the tone was ...... How does it feel like you're being coquettish?
She was embarrassed and said, "That, I, I mean ......"
At the end of the words, his waist suddenly tightened......
It turns out that the rate of time flow can also be used as a deceleration equation.
Xiao Huang sat on the edge of the bed with his back stiff, and even his breathing became cautious, for fear of making the slightest movement and disturbing the person in front of the window lattice who looked grim and didn't say a word, but seemed more comfortable than the master's family.
In fact, she wanted to explain that her weak legs were numb because she was curled up and sleeping before, and it was not her intention to fall on him, but every time the words came to her mouth, she didn't know how to phrase them.
After struggling for a long time, Xiao Huang finally chose to be with the embroidery on the couchcloth, but she counted back and forth several times, but she didn't even count the lines of a petal.
She shook her head violently, as if by doing so, she would be able to shake out the images that had reappeared in her mind over and over again.
Otherwise, just think of the person who just hugged her and turned up...... It's Nangong Qijue, she actually feels a little stunned.
"You, what's the matter?"
The words fell silently, and half an hour passed, just when Xiao Huang thought that Nangong Qijue had become a sculpture, he finally opened his mouth.
"Passing by, stop by to pick up something."
His stuff? Is that the gilded scarlet robe? But the lining of it is stained with ......
Although the matter of women's physiology is no longer an unspeakable situation in the future generations, at this moment, Xiao Huang feels a little embarrassed in his heart.
"The robe...... It's dirty, can I wash it before returning it to the house? ”
Windbreaker?
The scene next to the lake flashed in his mind, and Nangong Qi said casually: "The things that were thrown out, this governor didn't plan to pick them up." ”
Xiao Huang: "......"
That's right, Nangong Qijue has such a serious cleanliness habit, and he may feel that it is a waste of alms even at a glance for things that have been used by others.
After hesitating again and again, she spoke again: "Thank you Nangong Governor for coming to the rescue today." ”
The latter frowned almost imperceptibly when he heard this, "No need, the governor has never liked the matter of owing favors." ”
So...... You're really just passing through.
Xiao Huang couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, should I be glad that I helped you in Nangong Mansion that day?
------------------------
Kyoto, a suburb of the city.
Under the sunset, the distant bell rang melodiously, Xia Yutian closed his eyes and listened carefully.
After a little wind, he opened his mouth almost like gossip, "Zhenfei, you say, how is the wind today?" ”
Hearing the question, the latter replied in a decent manner: "The wind of bathing in the sea has been like this all year round, and my subordinates feel that it is no different from the past. ”
"No, the wind has changed."
Wind? The sea bath is located in the left ridge of Xia Yu, isn't the sea breeze blowing from the left?
Xia Zhenfei bowed his head and stood up, "The subordinates are dull. ”
"Zhenfei, how long have you been following me?"
"Back to Gongzi, more than five years."
"Five years?" Xia Yutian opened his eyes, and the afterglow on the horizon made his eyes dim, "It's been so long, you don't need to be too dull in front of me." ”
Hearing this, Xia Jinfei's heart was shocked, he opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw Xia Yu Tianfu closing his eyes and resting, he had no choice but to retreat silently.
In the eyes of the world, the third prince is an inconspicuous prince who only knows how to dance and write.
In front of Emperor Xia Yu, even the four princes who did not learn and did not know how to do it had a sense of existence than him, but Xia Zhenfei knew what wisdom and strategy were hidden under the angry skin of the book.
At least, so far, he has never understood what kind of person Xia Yutian is.
Following.
The glimmer of early morning pierced through the intersecting gaps of the leaves, scattered on the pages, and the lines on the white paper became lively.
Under the gazebo, the tip of Xiao Huang's pen outlining the pattern moved, and then stopped, "Xiaoxiang, you pour a glass of water for the third uncle, and you have been standing outside the door for so long, I think you should be thirsty." ”
"How can one cup be enough? I want two cups, Miss Xiaoxiang, pour two cups. Before Sima Yi approached, the voice of resentment came in advance, "The little niece didn't say it early when she found out, and the third uncle suffered this crime, and his legs were almost sore." ”
Xiao Huang raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, Sima Yi was still cynical and wishful.
But...... He? How did it come?
Seeing Sima Yi following a young man step by step, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"What is the little niece doing?" As soon as his butt was next to the stool, someone's curiosity began to explode, and he casually picked up a black pipe on the table and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Charcoal."
"Charcoal...... Pen? Is it a pen? How come I've never seen it, it's the little niece who made it herself? Can you ......?"
"What is the third uncle looking for me?" Xiao Huang quickly packed up the drawing paper and looked at the person opposite in a serious manner.
Although she didn't think Sima Yi was idle and bored, if she didn't interrupt him, she believed that she wouldn't be able to get to the point for a long time.
"Uh...... Well, I'm not the one looking for you. Sima Yi was quite dissatisfied with Xiao Huang's anti-thief attitude.
He slipped out the person with his eyebrows behind him with one hand, and said with a stinky face: "The person who wants to come to see you is Xuan'er." ”
The latter turned his face away, "I didn't want to come to see her!" ”
"Oh~ Who was caught by me hanging around outside the General's Mansion?"
Jimo Haoxuan said in a muffled voice: "I just happened to be passing by." ”
Pass by? Xuan'er, how can you listen to your rebuttal, how do you lack confidence.
Sima Yi snapped his fingers, "Yes, the time to pass by is just enough to walk through a street." ”
Jimo Haoxuan was anxious, "Third uncle, where are you?" ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you." Sima Yi smiled, and turned to Xiao Huang and said, "Third Uncle still has to go to your father for tea, Xuan'er will leave it to you for the time being, don't bully him." ”
Xiao Huang: "......"
-------------------------
"Yesterday, I handed over the talisman to the criminal governor, and I think they should finish raising the army and prepare to go."
"Astringent and sweet, this rainy and misty mountain is good." Sima Yi closed the tea lid and teased: "After raising soldiers for so many years, the second brother is really willing." ”
Jimo Liyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, in the end, you and I are not all royal courtiers?" ”
"The words are good, but let others seize power...... When did the second brother's style of acting become so timid? ”
"Your emperor, under the name of 'the city is flooded, and the town is in urgent need of soldiers', what can he do if he is reluctant?"
Lian Huaying walked into the study with a stack of scrolls, and when she heard Sima Yi's words, she suddenly felt a wave of anger in her heart.
Ten years of training, from the nomadic stragglers to today's well-trained iron cavalry, no less than a hundred battles of life and death trust...... If it wasn't a last resort, how could the husband rest assured that he would hand over his soldiers to someone else?
Disobey the imperial order? In the end, what can't be kept is probably not only the military power.
Jimo Liyun stepped forward and said, "Excuse, Madame, be cautious." ”
As long as his soldiers can walk on the "road of saving the people", it doesn't matter if the person who leads the troops is him or not, as for the rest, he believes that the soldiers brought out by him, even Mo Liyun, will not be incompetent.
Sensing that Lian Huaying was annoyed, Sima Yi immediately apologized and said: "Yes Yi's words are wrong, the second brother and sister-in-law must not be surprised." ”
Jimo Liyun waved his hand and said with a smile: "The third brother is serious, in fact, what you said is right, but the king's order cannot be violated, and how can the military talisman be defended by a private family, but it is rare for me to see you admit your mistakes so seriously." ”
"Alas~ It's all because Yi San's self-discipline is self-disciplined, which makes the second brother rare." Sima Yi made a joke with a gag.
Knowing that his third brother was easing the atmosphere of the scene, that is, Mo Li saw through it and didn't say anything, so he simply pointed to the few scrolls that his wife put in his hand,
Said solemnly: "This is a hand-painted record of the border fortress, the last time I met Hou Ye, I talked about it, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to visit in person, but since you are here, third brother, then you just bring it back together." ”
"No......" Sima Yi let out a long sigh, then leaned back in the chair, and said lazily: "I finally came over, I didn't think I would have to run an errand." ”
--------------------------
Backyard.
"You ......"
"You ......"
After the tacit understanding in unison, a long silence ensued.
Facing the sudden brother in front of her, Xiao Huang's heart was not as calm as it appeared to be, she lacked experience in dealing with this kind of blood relationship, and she didn't know how to get along with a younger brother who hated her.
She thought, since they are nominal blood relatives, if they can't pretend to be familiar, then treat them as normal, otherwise it will not be a way to keep consuming.
"Sit and wait."
"Huh?" Jimo Haoxuan raised his head suddenly, "No, no need." ”
Looking at the slightly cramped person opposite, Xiao Huang hid a little alienation, and she said, "The third uncle may still have some time to come over, and besides, you didn't come to me to punish you." ”
Sima Yi has always had nothing to do, and since he made a special trip to his father for tea, he must be unable to finish talking for a while.
"That...... Are you sick? ”
Jimo Haoxuan lowered his head, although his voice was very small, but Xiao Huang could hear the words "I'm sorry" clearly.
It seems that the person who should apologize should be in the Lin Mansion, even if she is not uncommon, it seems that he has counted the matter of Lin Qing'er causing her to fall into the lake on his own head,
Glancing at the silent young man in front of her, Xiao Huang had a rare amount of patience, in order to prevent him from getting into the horns, she couldn't help but divert the topic and said, "Don't you have to go to the student supervision class today?" ”
"No ......"
Mo Haoxuan subconsciously shook his head, and hurriedly stopped before his action was finished, and added: "I didn't skip class, today is a day off, and it is stipulated by the prison lord." ”
Surprised by his reaction, Xiao Huang paused for a moment and said, "No need to explain, I don't disbelieve you." ”
Yes, I didn't believe it, but Jimo Haoxuan, who had always been glaring at her, suddenly withdrew his hostility and became so...... Strange, it made her a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Why?"
"What?"
Jimo Haoxuan looked at her nervously, his eyes stubborn and helpless, "You just said, you...... Believe me? ”
Stunned for a moment, Xiao Huang smiled lightly, and for a moment, she suddenly seemed to understand a little - why did Sima Yi let him into her field of vision three times and twice......
