My ears buzzed, and I stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

What did he just say?

He asked Pei Yuanxiu, who am I?!

At this moment, I didn't know how to react, or I lost the ability to react completely, and just looked straight at him. He felt my direct, completely unevasive gaze, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, even with a hint of displeasure, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

Pei Yuanxiu was also stunned for a moment.

However, he was still calm after all, and when he looked at the eyes that were getting brighter and brighter against the backdrop of the hideous scars, he hooked the corners of his lips and said lightly: "She is a young baby." ”

“……”

"It will be my wife."

"Oh."

I didn't care about the identity of this "will be my wife", I just looked at him, and there was no trace of shock, anger, or even emotion on his face, I only raised my eyebrows, showing a clear expression, and then shook my long sleeves with a smile, and arched my hand towards me: "It turned out to be Mrs." Fortunately, fortunately. ”

This time, Pei Yuanxiu also glanced at me.

I stood motionless, the shock, stunned, and even heartache on my face slowly sank at this moment.

A nameless—nay, indignant rage, I should say—burned from the bottom of my heart.

Liu Qinghan, you are ruthless enough!

What are you? Pretending never to know me? Pretending to be plain and meeting for the first time in your life? Do you and I have to come to such a point where we are strangers? Who are you doing with such a calm and cold look? Show me? What do you use to show that you are glad that you have finally gotten rid of me? Or is it an indication of your anger?

Is it my fault that I have come to this point?

The karmic fire in my heart became more and more intense, and I clenched my fists hard.

At this moment, a large, warm hand reached over and gently clenched my fist.

It's Pei Yuanxiu.

He stood next to me, looking at me gently, his palm was not too hard, just a gentle force, I bit my lower lip, and finally slowly released my fist.

Then, his fingers interlocked with mine and took my hand.

I didn't want to be like this with him in public, but at this moment, facing those clear eyes, I saw him smile faintly as if he understood, and suddenly lost all his strength, so I was pulled back to the table by Pei Yuanxiu and sat down, and then smiled at him: "Lord Liu, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Childe."

For a moment, several people sat still.

I was next to Pei Yuanxiu's main seat, and the two sisters, Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong, were at our hands respectively, and Liu Qinghan inevitably sat opposite us. I didn't look at him, I just looked down at the marble tabletop, but even so, I couldn't help but tremble all over, as if the next moment, my whole body would be shattered.

Soon after, someone came up and served fragrant hot tea and delicate sweet snacks.

The atmosphere in this pavilion is not bad, after all, the existence of the three women has reduced the atmosphere of the original possible sabre-rattling to a minimum, he crossed the river alone this time, maybe he had thought about it countless times in advance, and he had made a lot of determination, but it was also difficult to imagine that what he came to face was such a scene like spring flowers.

After all, except for my cold face, although Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong were taken aback by his face, they are both rare beauties in the end, they are all good at hospitality, and they are all smiling like flowers, plus the hot tea on the table, exuding a rich aroma, and the delicate snacks are even decorated with small flowers.

Just looking at it this way, it's like a few of us sitting by the river enjoying the scenery and chatting about it.

But, outside the pavilion, it will make people shudder.

Pei Yuanxiu's several teams of attendants all stood ten steps away from the Wangjiang Pavilion in an orderly manner, along the bluestone road that had just been paved, until they reached the wide trestle bridge, and on both sides stood guards who were ready to be dispatched at any time.

And along the river bank, through the heavy water mist, you can also see the huge water military camp.

Pei Yuanxiu set the place to meet him at this ferry, it seemed that it was a whim, and even temporarily built trestle bridges and pavilions, and some laborers moved the crowd, which was far less convenient than seeing him at the official port, but in fact, after thinking about it carefully, he knew that this decision was well thought out. Although this place is remote, it is far away from the port, and it is far away from the water village, and he does not plan to let the other party see his strength clearly; But on the other hand, to take the initiative in the conversation, not only to have the identity of the master, but also to a formation, although this ferry is simple, but can overlook the huge water village, can not see the reality clearly, but more and more unfathomable.

This is the pressure array.

Pei Yuanxiu is bound to talk about what he wants to talk about today.

After sitting down, of course, it was tea, but the river breeze was cold, and after a while, the tea in the cup was slightly cold, Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong took a sip, and they both frowned slightly.

But I drank it cold, and I didn't feel anything.

Perhaps, the heart is cooler.

Pei Yuanxiu put down the teacup, looked at the person opposite with a smile, and said with a smile: "I'm in Jiangnan, and I've heard a lot of rumors about Lord Liu. ”

Liu Qinghan smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's a lie." ”

"Oh?" Pei Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows: "I haven't said anything yet, why does Lord Liu think it's a lie?" ”

I looked up and glanced at him.

Liu Qinghan still smiled lightly and said: "Separated by a river, communication is inconvenient, and anyone who comes over is afraid that it will be unrecognizable." When the official crossed the river today, he was dressed and crowned, but he went ashore, but he was disheveled by the river wind, and the wolf was unbearable. This official's clothes and hats are still like this, let alone others? ”

Pei Yuanxiu looked at him and said with a smile: "It's true, but it's just something outside of the body." One thing, I think, hasn't changed. ”

"Oh? I don't know what Childe said? ”

"Lord Liu is about to marry her sister, but there is such a thing."

My heart sank.

I didn't expect him to talk about this matter so soon, and Liu Qinghan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, lowered his head and reached out to support the corner of his forehead, as if he was subconsciously covering up the scar on his face.

If he guessed correctly, it should have been a small action that he started after he was injured, and in the past, even if he was embarrassed, he didn't do it.

I originally put it on the table, holding the teacup with my hand, but at this time I slowly put it down, blowing on my side and trembling gently.

Hearing him say: "Being favored by the eldest princess is a blessing from the third generation of this official." ”

"Although my sister is a princess, she has a docile temperament and is not the slightest arrogant. I also hope that Lord Liu will treat her well and not let her down. ”

"This is natural, and this official will live up to the eldest princess's affection."

Speaking of which, his identity is no longer only the son of Jiangxia, but also the other party's brother-in-law, and he has suppressed people again.

I never knew in the past that Pei Yuanxiu turned out to be such a clever and even fierce person, and in every word, although the breeze was warm, he took every step of the way, completely controlling the initiative of this conversation.

It's just-

The man across from me was smiling all the time, if it weren't for the terrible scars on his face, he could even be called gentle and elegant, neither humble nor arrogant, but with a hint of calmness.

If Pei Yuanxiu is a cotton with needles hidden in it, then he is a ball of cotton without needles.

It seems that even Pei Yuanxiu felt it, this time, he raised his head and looked at him seriously, that gaze seemed to want to figure out a reason from him.

But, no matter how you look at it, Liu Qinghan is Liu Qinghan, just an ordinary person, but he is different from any ordinary person.

There is no one like him who makes me so angry, even if the cold tea and the cold river breeze can't be extinguished or blown out.

I suddenly raised my teacup and smiled at him, "Lord Liu, I will replace the wine with tea and toast you." ”

He was taken aback, as if he didn't expect me to come suddenly, and hurriedly picked up the teacup, I held the cup high, and said with a gentle smile: "I heard that Lord Liu killed several court officials overnight in Yangzhou Mansion, and he didn't even invite a single one, which shows the emperor's trust in Lord Liu." Such a thunderous method, when the emperor went south to Yangzhou, he did not use it, which really made us dumbfounded. I'm afraid that in the future, Lord Liu will show his strength in Yangzhou and replace the Shen family, which is just around the corner! ”

As soon as I said these words, the pavilion fell silent for a while.

Pei Yuanxiu also looked at me a little stunned.

Actually, these words are clearly what he wants to say, even if it is not him, it is also the words of the Han sisters, but I didn't expect to be said by me first, but there are a few thorns in the words, which are clearly praised and depreciated, even if Liu Qinghan has self-cultivation, he can't help but feel a little cold at this time.

Then, he looked at me.

That glance was indescribably cold, my hands and feet were already cold, and this look by him was more like being pierced into the chest by an ice needle.

Pain......

It hurt so much that I couldn't even breathe.

However, his cold eyes bent slightly, and the faint smile lines at the corners of his eyes showed a different kind of calm and gentleness, as if the cold glance just now was just an illusion of mine.

He smiled and said: "It can be seen that the information is not communicated across this river, and it is really easy to spread falsehoods." Although the official killed those people, although he did not ask for a decree, the official went south and came with the emperor's will. Moreover, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials oppressed the good people and bent the law for bribes, and their crimes are really too numerous to mention. This official beheaded them to hoe traitors for the country and eliminate harm for the people, although the means are thunder, the heart is really merciful. I hope that the son and the lady will not misunderstand. ”

I looked at him with a smile: "I see. ”

The smile has slowly turned cold.

His tone, his expression, was so strange.

It's so strange that it makes people feel chilled.

I took a sip of tea, I don't know if it was my delusion, the tea seemed to have frozen, and the cold slipped down my throat, and my heart froze. Once again, I moved my hand off the table and hung it gently at my side, but a large, warm hand reached out, gently but forcefully holding my hand.

It's Pei Yuanxiu.

He didn't look at me, and still kept a businesslike smile on his face at Liu Qinghan, but his palm was warm, ironing the back of my cold hand, and his thick and powerful thumb gently rubbed my whitening joints, so that my almost spasmodic fingertips slowly eased down.

I bowed my head slightly.

Pei Yuanxiu's hand was still holding me, and he smiled at Liu Qinghan and said, "It turns out that Lord Liu went to Yangzhou this time to punish the evil and eliminate the traitors, but we are lonely and unheard." It's just that I don't know, in addition to this harm, how does Lord Liu plan to do it in Yangzhou? ”
