Chapter 218: Reluctance
Anyway, whether Shangguan Li wanted it or not, Xuanyuan Ye still got into their carriage back to the capital.
The return journey was calm, and compared to the worries about Anning Town when he came, it was undoubtedly much easier now, and even the speed of the carriage was much faster.
Shangguan Li originally wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Xuanyuan Ye and make him give up the idea of looking for any benefits from her.
But on the first day, he said that the injury of the big war was not healed, and he recuperated for five days, and the symptoms of this injury were very magical, that is, he had a headache as soon as he talked to Shangguan Li.
On the sixth day, he said he had a bad stomach. Counting the innocent Situ for three days made the poor little girl's fear of Xuanyuan more and more profound.
At this point, they were halfway there.
On the ninth day, they encountered a group of bandits, the king of Zhenbei, who was besieged by a mountain full of well-trained Lanyou killers, and was slashed in the arm by a little guy who couldn't hold a knife.
Then the illness of "having a headache as soon as I talk to Shangguan Li" happened again.
This injury recuperated for another five days, and when the scar was healed, Shangguan Li finally found an opportunity to block him in the carriage when Xitu went to fetch water.
"Why didn't I find out that you were so delicate before?"
Xuanyuan Ye came with a set of high-quality pen and ink from the White Mansion, occasionally writing, and began to draw again two days ago. Now he's just finishing the last stroke.
Wen Yan raised his head contentedly and said with a smile.
"It's just that the county lord doesn't understand me, I'm really very delicate, don't look at me like this, I had to die if I had a cold when I was a child."
"I see."
Shangguan Li nodded perfunctorily and dragged the topic to the right track.
"Lord Wang, I will discuss something with you. What do you want from me, to put it bluntly, we are all sensible people, and we don't engage in those conspiracies. ”
Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows, and his long eyebrows flew obliquely into his sideburns, even if he couldn't see his face completely, he could feel a thrilling handsomeness.
"Whatever I want, the county lord can give me?"
"Impossible."
Shangguan Li is categorical, and she is not selling herself...... Ahh How did you come up with that?
Xuanyuan Ye's expression suddenly fell, and he bulldozed the painting in front of the case with a wooden seat, and said lazily.
"Then why did I tell the county lord? It's not good for me. ”
She actually felt that this sentence made a lot of sense.
They are all unprofitable people who can't afford to be early, but she dares to negotiate with Xuanyuan Ye, of course she has prepared her chips.
"As long as you tell me, I will also tell you a secret, which you are guaranteed not to know."
Seeing Xuanyuan's smiling face, she hurriedly made up for it.
"Of course you're interested."
"Oh?"
Xuanyuan Ye was a little interested, and looked at her.
"What I want to know but don't know, does the county lord know how much it can be sold for on the black market? Could it be that the county lord wants to give me ten million taels of gold? ”
The corners of Shangguan Li's mouth twitched, and she couldn't get so much money if she sold her.
"But I have a lifelong friendship with the county lord, and since you want to know the answer so much, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Xuanyuan Ye suddenly changed his tone.
But Shangguan Li didn't relax and narrowed his eyes.
"At what cost?"
"Answer me a question."
Xuanyuan night is very refreshing.
"You can listen to the questions before you decide whether to answer them or not."
"Say."
He hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled like a scheming fox, which made Shangguan Li's heart furious.
"Why does the county lord want to know why I'm with you?"
Needless to say? Of course, a city is deeper than the sea, and people who don't know the purpose are around, and the threat level to her is equivalent to sleeping with a bomb.
"If the county lord is afraid that I will harm you, you can use some means against me. Aren't you very good at poisons? ”
Shangguan Li: "......"
"Ah, is it reluctant?"
Xuanyuan Ye's expression of sudden realization was seamless, and he was simply a natural actor.
"Indeed."
She nodded calmly and said slowly.
"I really can't bear to use the precious poison on you."
After speaking, she paused and looked at Xuanyuan Ye with a smile.
"I answered, it's your turn, lord."
He frowned and commented pertinently.
"It shouldn't count."
"You don't have a rule to give you a satisfactory answer, do you?"
“…… Also. ”
Xuanyuan Ye sighed.
"Well, I'll tell you, because it's reluctant."
Shangguan Li's body stiffened.
He propped up the case and leaned over a little, the carriage was so big, and the distance between the two immediately broke through the normal social distance.
Xuanyuan Ye's eyes were very deep, as if they could hold a whole world, but at this moment, she was only pretending to be alone.
"The county lord is really interesting, whether it is your mysterious poison and medical skills, or your strange skills and extraordinary resourcefulness...... I'm all interested. ”
He stared at Shangguan Li's eyes, his gaze seemed to have a hook, peeking into the sincerity under the skin.
"It's been a long time since I've met someone so interesting, so I'm reluctant to let go. Is this answer satisfactory? ”
Shangguan Li pulled out a smile.
"Really? There are many people who the prince has never seen, but he doesn't know that there are people outside the world. If the prince is bored enough to find it interesting when he sees a person, it is recommended that you go back to the doctor in the house for psychological counseling. ”
With that, she stepped back a bit, pulling away the uncomfortable distance.
Shangguan Li felt as if a little anger had emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he had long known that Xuanyuan Ye had no truth in his mouth, and he had to ask.
I'm really stupid.
At this moment, Xitu came back with two jugs of water, she had already changed back to her original face, and she smiled when she saw Shangguan Li.
"Sister Fairy, let me tell you, I just saw a frozen crab by the river over there, hahaha......"
Shangguan Li, who didn't notice the joke at all, glanced at her fixedly, and then came to the conclusion: This stupid thing is really contagious.
It seems that she will have to stay away from Situ in the future.
After Situ laughed, he found that no one cared, so he had to put down the kettle and go back to catch the car.
Four days later, the carriage drove to Zhuyu Villa. It took ten days less than when he came, and Shangguan Li is willing to attribute this to the progress of Xitu's driving technology.
It seems that she will have to be honed a lot in the future.
"County Lord."
When she got off the carriage, Xuanyuan Ye suddenly stopped her, four days have passed, and Shangguan Li has already digested the little fire in her heart.
She stopped and asked what was going on with her eyes.
Xuanyuan Ye was holding a bamboo tube in his hand, which was supposed to be the painting he had been painting for a few days.
"Two days ago, a new little prince was added to the palace, and His Majesty was very happy and took a three-day break to celebrate. Many places in the capital have taken vacations, including, of course, Taichen-in. ”
