Chapter 220: You Can Look at Me
Qi Guogong's face was pale, there were water droplets on his cheeks, and the neckline of his clothes was also covered with large water stains.
Seeing that he was making a fool of himself in public, Qi Guogong waved away the hand of the Lu steward and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you get me a piece of clothing quickly!" ”
“…… Be. Steward Lu shrank his fingertips, held his old waist, and turned to run away.
"You two," Qi Guogong's gaze fell on the Xuan brothers, and he half-narrowed his eyes and threatened, "Seal your mouth tightly for me, or ......"
"Don't worry!" Xuanwen pretended to bow his head in fear, for fear that Qi Guogong would see the corners of his mouth raised, "What to say and what not to say, our brother knows in his heart." ”
"You know each other." Qi Guogong snorted coldly, took out a square handkerchief from his arms, wiped the water on his face, and said in a low voice, "Since I have recruited you, I can rest assured that I will be able to make a living in the mansion, and there will be benefits in the future." ”
"Yes."
The Xuan brothers opened their mouths and silently made a small calculation in their hearts.
-
The next day, the weather was clear, and although the sun was full, it could not resist the cold wind.
The gate of the Dongcheng Annexes was closed, and the snow in front of the gate was swept away.
Qingli was huddled in the hall, sitting on a small wooden bench washing clothes, the basin mixed with hot water, but not icy hands.
There was a dragon burning in the house, and the four of them gathered together and sat around the fire, on which warm tea was boiling.
"You've been quiet for the past few days, and the people sent out haven't sent back any news?" Yuan Chen frowned slightly, and glanced at the three people in front of him with some dissatisfaction.
Lu Qingfeng held the teacup, and only shook his head lightly when he heard the words, "The Seventh Prince's head is very stable, and he is still messing with flowers and grass everywhere, and he can't pull it out when he is rooted in the gentle township, and he doesn't have any other thoughts to think about." ”
"Even if it's like this every day, you can't ignore his existence, who knows if he wants to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?" Yuan Chen sneered, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, "Under the extreme desire, who can be alone?" ”
After the words fell, Yuan Chen turned his eyes sideways, looked at Xie Li with a solemn face beside him, and quipped, "What have you been doing these days?" It's just absent-minded, it's not trim, and green stubble is popping up on the chin. ”
"Huh?" Xie Li suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at Shen Ji, who was quietly drinking tea on the side, and immediately pulled the corners of his mouth, and responded with a smile, "The minister has slept late and got up early these days, and he has insomnia and dreams, which is a little decadent." ”
Yuan Chen hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes flashed with interest, "I know that you are newly married Yan'er, and Jiao Niang is in your arms, I'm afraid that my mind will fly to others." ”
Xie Li raised his lips and smiled, but he didn't deny it.
Yuan Chen turned his head, looked at Shen Ji with a smile, and asked quietly, "What about Lord Shen?" I don't see a beauty on my side, why do I wander frequently? ”
Shen Ji heard the temptation in his words, his eyes dimmed a little, and he naturally took over the topic, "The minister has something in his heart, and I don't know if I should say something to Lang Jun." ”
"Huh?" Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows, with some curiosity on his face, "What makes Lord Shen so worried?" ”
Shen Ji put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and his tone was gentle, "The spies have sent news that the henchmen under the eldest prince are rushing to the capital with his private soldiers. ”
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, the three people on the opposite side changed their expressions in unison.
Yuan Chen's face sank, his gaze fell on Shen Ji's handsome face, and his tone was displeased, "This matter is very important, why didn't you report it before!" ”
"The minister is naturally considering."
"Weigh what?" Yuan Chen gritted his back molars and said in a deep voice, "If he leads the troops to fight and his father is caught off guard, can you bear this sin?" ”
"I just think it's weird." Shen Ji's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his voice was gentle, "At the moment, several princes are honest, and the saint has no partiality, the eldest prince inexplicably mobilized troops, doesn't Lang Jun think that there are ghosts here?" ”
"It's really strange...... Lu Qingfeng's face sank slightly, staring at Yuan Chen, and said in a low voice, "The eldest prince's fiefdom is far away, and now all forces have not moved, what is he anxious about?" ”
Xie Li also nodded, his eyes were slightly dark, "The fiefdom of the eldest prince is so far away from the capital, if he is not completely sure, how dare he take this move?" ”
"That's something I don't understand." Shen Ji's brows frowned even tighter, and he said in a muffled voice, "Right now, they are all in their own camps, and they are all eyeing that son, where did he get his confidence?" ”
"Could it be that he is against whom?"
Yuan Chen took in the expressions of several people, and his face became more and more gloomy, "Lord Shen, you must investigate this matter strictly, and report it to me every day." ”
"Yes."
After the four of them chatted, Yuan Chen left in a hurry, and the remaining three people also got up and sent him to the front of the courtyard.
Yuan Chen put on his hat and said in a low voice, "You don't have to send it, don't forget my entrustment." ”
"I understand." Shen Ji lowered his head slightly and answered in a low voice.
Yuan Chen hummed softly and turned around to get into the carriage.
At this moment, there was a sound of breaking the air, and an arrow flew towards the middle.
"Lang Jun beware!"
Shen Ji exclaimed, raised his arm, pulled Yuan Chen, who had not yet reacted, to the side, and the arrow pierced into Shen Ji's forearm, causing him to frown unconsciously.
"Lord Shen!" Yuan Chen was stunned for a moment on his face, and when he saw that he was injured and bleeding, he hurriedly turned around to help him, but the concern that should have blurted out was suddenly stuck in his mouth after seeing the scripture at the end of the arrow.
"Lang Jun......" Shen Ji gritted his teeth, pinched the wound on his forearm, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you injured?" ”
Hearing this, Yuan Chen reluctantly came back to his senses, forcing himself to look away from the tail of the arrow, "It's okay, I'll take you to bandage." ”
"Lang Jun, no." Shen Ji shook his head, his face was a little pale, "That arrow is coming straight towards Lang Jun, which means that someone has already targeted us, and now at this time, we must not let others know that the minister is injured." ”
Yuan Chen stared at him and couldn't help but be a little moved.
Lu Qingfeng frowned, and hurriedly said, "I'll go to the doctor!" ”
"Lord Shen, I'll help you in." Yuan Chen's face was solemn, and his tone was a little impatient.
"Lang Jun go and get busy with the business at hand." Shen Ji took his hand, his eyes were dark, "It's not safe here, you go quickly, I'm afraid the four of us will have to get together in another place in the future." ”
Yuan Chen's fingertips shrank, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying, so he had to get into the carriage step by step, and did not forget to tell Xie Li, who was stunned on the side, "Be sure to take care of Lord Shen." ”
“…… Be. Xie Li hid the shock below, and responded in a deep voice.
Yuan Chen looked at Shen Ji with some concern, but he saw reassurance in the latter's eyes, so he had to put down the curtain of the car.
Looking at the departing carriage, Xie Li turned his eyes sideways, looked at Shen Ji, who was pale, and sneered, "Lord Shen, I can't see that you are quite open-minded." ”
Although Xie Li's words were thorny, he did not forget to support his body.
"It should." Shen Ji clenched his back molars, endured the pain, forcibly hooked the corners of his mouth, and teased, "If Madam can look down on me because of this, it will not be a loss." ”
Xie Li looked at him, eager to beat the man in front of him to death.
Speaking of which, he still wants to be his father! (End of chapter)
