Chapter Eighty-Five
Nine Heavens, the House of the God of War.
The wine seemed to be a little too much, and I don't know when I slept in the courtyard, Xi Ci sat up from the couch in disheveled clothes, and looked around with a slight headache.
Seeing that Shen Zhou was sitting upright in front of the desk, clumsily tying his own hair, Xi Ci squinted with one hand on his chin, and looked at his crooked bun over and over again with interest.
Shen Zhou untied his hair again, and threw the comb on the ground as if he were sulking.
Xi Ci picked up the comb, quietly came behind him, looked at his tightly knit brow in the bronze mirror, smiled helplessly, and helped him recomb his hair.
Shen Zhou's body, which was suddenly touched, trembled obviously, but he didn't resist the help of others like yesterday.
Feeling that his hair was tied, Shen Zhou touched it to make sure that the other party was not teasing him, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Cut Xie Hyunqing." ”
Xi Ci turned around and brought the medicine box, re-medicated his eyes, looked at his green face, and somehow remembered that Ziwei Xingjun had said that he had used the magic mirror twice, but he had not succeeded in saving what he had in mind.
Whether it was his ascension to the throne of the Heavenly Monarch or his fall into the Demon Dao to become the Lord of the Three Realms, Qiu Ye failed to die well.
So, is it true that as long as the sinking boat dies completely, all suffering will cease to exist?
Thinking of this, Xi Ci made his hand a little heavier, which made Shen Zhou "hiss", and hooked the corners of his mouth a little embarrassedly, but he didn't complain, and still sat obediently.
If you want to kill Shen Zhou, now is indeed the best time, and the Xiqi Ghost stretched out his claws to him, and without the blink of an eye, he could cut his throat unconsciously.
She looked at his neck in a silent voice, and then Shen Zhou suddenly spoke: "You seem to have drunk a lot yesterday, are you okay when you wake up today?" ”
Xi Ci's hand stretched out to him froze in mid-air, and after a long time, in Shen Zhou's doubts, he clenched it into a fist and took it back, hastily replaced him with a new muslin cloth, and lowered his head to pack up the medicine box.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can take my order to the Medicine King's Mansion to get the medicine, and the Medicine King will never embarrass you." As he spoke, he took a token from his waist and handed it to Xi Ci.
Xi Ci looked at the token in a daze, then reached out to take the token over there, and carefully looked at the dragon pattern and signature on it: His Royal Highness Shen Zhou, God of War Mansion.
"If so...... If there is anything missing from the house, you can also use this token to go to the corresponding internal affairs office to get it. Seeing that she was hesitant to answer, Shen Zhou couldn't help but add.
This reminded Xi Ci of the days when he was in the world and redeemed himself to the Taishi Mansion, and let himself go on horses and raise fish.
Xi Ci smiled bitterly and put away the token, and then heard footsteps approaching here, she quickly picked up the packed medicine box and hid.
Shen Zhou obviously felt her hurry, and his brows furrowed slightly, not knowing why.
Sure enough, the Heavenly Monarch and the Queen of Heaven came to the mansion, and when they saw Shen Zhou sitting neatly in front of the desk, the Queen of Heaven held his hand with great relief and said: "Shen Zhou, today the Queen Mother went to the Medicine King's Mansion to get some new medicine for you, you can recuperate well during this time, and you don't have to worry about anything." ”
The queen of heaven said, signaling the accompanying Xian'e to put down the medicine, and then looked left and right, and found that there was no Xian'e in the house, guessing that they should have been driven away by him.
So the queen of heaven couldn't help but say: "Shen Zhou, you don't have a single fairy in the house, there will be a lot of inconvenience when you think about it, why don't you come to the house to take care of you in person, how about it?" ”
Hearing the words of the queen of heaven, Shen Zhou knew that the woman who had been taking care of him since yesterday was not by his side at this time.
Not only that, but listening to the meaning of the queen mother, it seems that she is completely unaware of the existence of that woman.
Although Shen Zhou had a lot of suspicions at the moment, he did not say it to the queen of heaven, but said lightly: "The queen mother's intentions are already understood by the sons, and I hope the queen mother does not have to worry too much." ”
The Heavenly Monarch, who had been silent for a long time on the side, suddenly spoke up at this time: "Shen Zhou, you also take this opportunity to plan a plan to deal with the demons in this quiet place. ”
Since Shen Zhou was injured, this is the second time that Tianjun has come to visit the mansion, but he has not cared about his injury twice, and even more so during the first visit: "Why are you so careless?" Your injury will damage thousands of Heavenly Soldiers of the Protoss! ”
Maybe Tianjun's words were unintentional, but he was listened to by the frustrated Shen Zhou, how much he used to admire his father, but this sentence made him a little sad.
Hearing Tianjun's sentence of "a quiet place", it was like a needle piercing Shen Zhou's heart, and he couldn't help laughing at himself: "It's really a sin to expose the bones on the battlefield, but the god of war is hiding in a quiet place. ”
"Shen Zhou, your father didn't mean that, no one blames you, really." The Queen of Heaven glanced at the Heavenly Monarch, whose face suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly explained.
"I'm tired, you all go out." Shen Zhou's tone was blunt, and he gave them an order to expel them.
"Shen Zhou......" The queen wanted to say something more, but Shen Zhou couldn't help but say in an accentuated tone: "Get out!" ”
With tears in her eyes, the queen of heaven looked at the indifferent Tianjun, and her eyebrows were full of forbearance and grievances.
Seeing this, Tianjun had no intention of arguing with him, flicked his sleeves, and walked away unhappily, and the queen looked at both sides, and finally had to follow Tianjun helplessly.
When the footsteps were so far away that they were almost inaudible, Shen Zhou's hand that was clenched into a fist under the case was released, but in the next second, he pushed all the things on the case to the ground, venting the anger in his heart.
Xi Ci stood behind the screen, quietly watching everything that happened in front of him, this may be the beginning of the estrangement between Shen Zhou and Tianjun.
As soon as she thought of it, a very familiar voice suddenly came from outside, and Xi Ci was so startled that she took back the foot she had stepped out of.
"Sinking the boat! Hey? So you're here! Feng Yang wrapped a muslin cloth in one hand and carried a jar of wine in the other, and walked to the desk with a smile.
At this time, Shen Zhou was looking at the screen thoughtfully, Xi Ci Fangcai's small movements were discovered by him, she was obviously deliberately avoiding it, but Shen Zhou didn't understand why she was hiding.
Feng Yang followed the turn of Shen Zhou's head and looked at the screen with a suspicious expression: "Is there anything there?" ”
He was about to go there, when Shen Zhou suddenly said, "It's nothing, what are you doing here with me again?" ”
Feng Yang put down the wine excitedly, and then waved the arm wrapped in muslin in front of him: "I am also injured, so I will come together with the same disease!" ”
"I don't have time to meet you." It is rare for the sinking boat to give a tactful eviction order.
Feng Yang propped his hands on the case, held his chin and said aggrievedly: "Don't be like this, I know you're unhappy, so if you make me unhappy, then I'm very hurt!" ”
"Well deserved." Shen Zhou said lightly.
Xi Ci, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't help but sneak a lazy Feng Yang glance, but he didn't expect that his father-in-law at this time was also childish, like a frivolous boy who didn't do anything more.
Feng Yang turned his head and saw the best trauma medicine in the Medicine King's Mansion scattered on the ground, so he exclaimed, "Isn't this the legendary Pure Poison Powder?" The medicine king told me no, it was all you! ”
As he spoke, he opened a packet and gave himself medicine in front of Shen Zhou, still muttering in his mouth: "Good things must be shared, so that the effect of medicine can be brought into play." ”
Shen Zhou sat silently, secretly listening to whether there was any movement behind the screen.
"Without you on the battlefield, I'm bored to death." After Feng Yang redressed the wound, he pouted and said.
Shen Zhou automatically filtered out his inconsequential greetings, and said solemnly: "How is the battle?" ”
Feng Yang looked left and right, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "It's not optimistic, those demon bandits have vicious methods, especially that prince's affection, which has caused us to suffer a lot." ”
Therefore, when Fang Cai's father came to the house, he did not necessarily come to visit him, but wanted to know when he would be able to return to the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhou sighed a little disappointed, Feng Yang saw what was on his mind, found two cups and said, "Don't worry about this, drink with me!" ”
Seeing that Feng Yang had no intention of leaving, Shen Zhou was not easy to rush, and the only way was to get the other party drunk, so ...... She's supposed to be coming out, right?
"If you don't get drunk, you won't return." Shen Zhou picked up the wine that Fengyang had poured and said meaningfully.
As everyone knows, they drank like this, until the night god came out to make a vigil with the stars.
Feng Yang finally fell to the ground, sleeping like a dead corpse, but Shen Zhou was still only half drunk, he turned his head to the screen: "He is asleep, you can come out." ”
It turned out that he knew that he had been there all along, and Xi Ci hesitated for a moment before coming out from behind the screen, and saw Feng Yang lying on the ground snoring.
Looking at Feng Yang's familiar and unfamiliar face, Xi Ci had mixed feelings, but she didn't belong here, so there was no need to see each other.
Then she grabbed Feng Yang's hand, dragged it onto the couch, and then helped him take off his boots so that he could sleep more comfortably.
Turning his head to look at the mess in front of him, he sighed helplessly, and then bent down to pick up the debris scattered on the ground one by one.
Shen Zhou stopped dumbly when he heard the sound of her dragging heavy objects, thinking that Fengyang had already been placed.
"Yes...... Would you like to have a few drinks with me? Shen Zhou said suddenly, his tone as if he was pleading.
After Xi Ci put away his things, he sat opposite him, passed the wine glass that Feng Yang had drunk on the side with the wine, and poured the wine again.
"You...... Not from our celestial realm, right? Shen Zhou asked softly, without the slightest hint of accusation and questioning in his tone, as if he was chatting.
She doesn't have a trace of breath around her, and when she sees someone other than herself, she chooses to hide, and the only possibility is that she doesn't belong to the heavenly realm.
Shen Zhou didn't wait for the answer he wanted, only heard her drink cup after glass, so he smiled helplessly: "Since you don't want to tell you, then I won't ask anymore, and when you are willing to be honest, tell me again." ”
Xi Ci looked at him silently, and then shook his head with a wry smile, how could there be a frank relationship between them?
"Today...... I guess you watched a joke, right? He was supposed to be referring to the time when the Heavenly King and the Queen of Heaven came to visit him.
Xi Ci put down the cup in his hand and looked at him with a little melancholy.
Hearing the sound of the other party putting down the cup, and making sure that she was still here, Shen Zhou continued: "Because he is the son of the Heavenly Monarch, he is destined to be different, he will be promoted to the god at the age of 20,000, and he will be the god of war at the age of 50,000...... It's just that you can be worthy of your origin. ”
The smile on the corner of Shen Zhou's mouth seemed helpless, but in Xi Ci's view, it was more self-deprecating and unwilling.
"If I am willing to be a little fairy with mediocre qualifications, I think not only will the gods use it as an after-dinner joke, but my father will also be despised by me."
Shen Zhou didn't want sympathy, he just wanted to pour out his inner anguish.
After speaking, he drank the wine in his cup in a daze, and then dragged his crumbling body to his feet.
Seeing this, Xi Ci got up to help him, but he was drunk and didn't stand firm, and fell to the ground with Xi Ci.
At the moment of falling, Shen Zhou subconsciously reached out to protect Xici so as not to hurt her.
Xi Ci's head rested on his arm, and she looked up at Shen Zhou, who frowned slightly, and did not rush to get up.
Shen Zhou thought that he had accidentally injured her, and his tone was full of worry: "Are you sick?" ”
Maybe it's because of the relationship of drinking some wine, recalling that I met him in my past life and this life, but Qingge is his beloved, but he is his fatal variable, such an ironic fate makes her a little unwilling.
For a while, she kissed it in a daze, which made Shen Zhou's heart instantly chaotic, and he didn't know what to do.
Xi Ci did not feel relieved by this kiss, but the sourness in her heart intensified, because she knew that the person in front of her did not belong to her in the future, and such a move was nothing more than self-deception and forcible seizure.
A cold tear slipped from the corner of her eye, her brows tightened, and she was about to push the sinking boat away, and suddenly got up and fled.
Shen Zhou lay in place in a daze, the situation was sudden, and he didn't know whether he was going to be angry or ashamed.
On the surface, she took the initiative to kiss herself, and she should be angry that she underestimated herself, but she pushed herself away in vain and fled, thinking deeply, but she felt as if she was disgusted by her.
Shen Zhou sat up with a little depression between his eyebrows, he really wanted to know who she was, how dare she be so bold and reckless, and come and go freely, do you think that you can be treated casually if you hurt your eyes?
