Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Gentleman in the Rain

i^%&*";

November 206 BC

It was almost late autumn, and many of the trees had lost their green, and the mottled leaves hung on the branches with difficulty, and they were crumbling in the autumn wind, and they looked a bit bleak.

It's been a long time since I've noticed this ordinary view on both sides of the road, and now I look at the crumbling leaves, and I feel a little more staggering.

When I was in Afang Palace and Xianyang Palace, my favorite thing was to observe the scenery of the four seasons, because there was nothing to do, and I lived the same life day after day, so I could only perceive the change of day and night and the change of seasons through the blooming of flowers and the green and yellow of leaves.

Now, I'm with Changxi, I'm following in his footsteps, I feel that the world has been filled with him, and I don't have time to do what he thinks.

It's better to be happier than to be lonely.

The carriage was moving along the main road.The road was much smoother than before.The discomfort was slightly less.The wind leaked through the gap in the curtain.I pulled the fox fur on my body.I felt a faint pain in the scars on my wrists and shoulders.Changxi was already asleep.He was covered with a thick quilt.Maybe he didn't sleep well.His brow furrowed slightly.He didn't let go for a long time.He didn't let go for a long time.

I guess it's because of the arrow wound on his back, that even my wrist hurts, and that he doesn't feel anything, and if it weren't for his worries, I wouldn't have stuffed such a big quilt in the carriage in spite of his objections, so that he couldn't even stretch his legs.

I lifted the curtain and looked outside the car, the clouds were thick, the sky was gray, and it was a precursor to rain.

"How long will it take?" I asked the soldier who was driving the car.

"I'm already in the city, and I'll be there in less than half an hour." The soldier replied: "I just saw a small group of soldiers and horses going out of the city, I guess they went to pick us up, but they went wrong with us."

"It's okay, I'll send someone to inform them when I get back." I sat back in the car and found that Changxi had woken up.

"Is it that my voice is too loud?" I apologized and said, "I forgot that you sleep shallowly, and you wake up at the slightest breeze."

"No, I've been asleep for so long, and I should have woken up." His voice was still tired, because he had just woken up, his eyes were still a little blank, and his eyelids were lazily shrugging.

"In less than half an hour, you should be up." I took out a comb from the small box and smiled, "Get up, I'll help you comb your hair."

He smiled too, sat up, leaned over me, and smiled, "Respect Madame's will."

Originally, according to my expectations, I hoped to get to Xiang Yu's mansion before the rain, but the sky was not beautiful, I had just combed my long hair, and there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and then the pouring rain fell with a bang, and the roof of the carriage clanged.

Seeing how heavy the rain was falling, I said to the soldiers, "Let's go down and take shelter."

"Is there rain leaking in the carriage?" The little soldier asked nervously.

"It's not raining in the carriage, but you can't be drenched all the time, and if you get a cold, you'll have to stay in bed for a long time."

"No need." The little soldier hurriedly excused himself: "I'm strong, and some rain won't get in the way."

"There are many diseases that are young and do not pay attention to the root of the disease, and when they are old, they cannot be cured of anything, and they torture the dead." I was firm, "Listen to me, I see a little tea shop in front of me, and it's parked there."

"......"

"Just do as Madame says." Changxi also said: "Besides, we also want to go down and have a sip of tea."

Seeing that Changxi also spoke, Xiaobing didn't say anything anymore, and then stopped the carriage in front of the tea shop.

Because the rain was fierce and urgent, there were many people sheltering from the rain in the shop.

"What do you two guests need? because it's raining, and now there's freshly brewed ginger tea." Xiao Er greeted him and said enthusiastically: "The shopkeeper said, if you order food, you won't accept the ginger tea money."

"No need, we've just entered the city, and someone has prepared food and drinks for us." I waved my hand and said with a smile, "Let's have three bowls of ginger tea, and one bowl for the little brother standing at the door."

Xiao Er nodded and said helplessly: "It's not easy to clean up.In this kind of heavy rain.When I get to the king, I'm afraid I'll already be a soup chicken.I'm fine.Especially you.If they see you like that.I'm going to laugh at you for a while."

Changxi smiled, and didn't care: "Just laugh, just laugh, it's not the first time anyway."

We were chatting, and suddenly a man's curse came from the door: "What the hell, if this is seen, it will be laughed at by those people."

The man's voice was quite loud, and I saw Changxi frown in displeasure, and he looked up at the door, and the expression on his face suddenly froze, and then his eyes widened, and his face turned white.

Seeing his reaction, I guessed there must be some kind of big man at the door, so I turned my head cautiously.

"Kuang Qi, don't be rude." A pair of hands patted the cursed shouter lightly, and laughed: "This is no better than in the army, and speaking so vulgarly will be blinded."

The big man named Kuang Qi turned red, and he didn't say anything more, and the man stopped reproaching him, but took off his cloak, revealing his bewitching and handsome face.

This face has changed slightly from the last time we met.The chin is sharper because it has been thinner.The fox eyes are sharper than before.There is a small scar above the left eyebrow.

I unconsciously got up and tried to walk towards him, but my wrist was suddenly grabbed out, I looked down, and I saw that the bones of the hand holding my wrist were white, and the eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"Don't go." His voice was low, with a hint of pleading.

......I hesitated, looked at his hand on my wrist, and sat back down.

Seeing me sit back, Changxi breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "It's better not to see me at this time."

I lowered my eyes and stopped talking, and answered him with silence.

"Your ginger tea." Xiao Er trotted over with two bowls of ginger tea.Maybe the guest brought too much rain outside.The ground was a little slippery.He gently fell to the ground.The two bowls of ginger tea also flew straight towards me.

"Cher." Changxi screamed in surprise and wanted to pull me, but a figure hugged me faster than he flashed past the two bowls of ginger tea.

"It's fine." The man gently brushed away a strand of long hair on my cheek, tightened my hand slightly, and sighed softly, "You've lost weight."
