53 Chapter 53
Xiao Yingchun didn't expect to be scolded by the businessman coldly.
She sat down silently, looking the merchant up and down without a trace.
The golden beast covered almost the man's face, but it didn't get in her way.
The beast head mask was pure gold just by looking at the color, and there was also a piece of Lantian jade hanging from his waist, which was worth a lot of money, and it was more than enough to buy this ship.
I'm afraid it's either a huge rich person in Jiangnan, or an incognito prince and magnates.
Through the mask, she could also see that this person was extraordinary.
A pair of eyes are transparent and clear, like a peach blossom in the first bloom, and the long eyelashes are clearly visible under the lamp without modification, thick and slender like crow feathers. The jawline under the mask is clear and sharp, and it is tense at this time, and the color is not good.
His vigilance and scrutiny of her, Xiao Yingchun saw it clearly.
But she didn't care.
She was sold into the Qinglou since she was a child, and her dance skills in Beijing were earned by her countless hardships. She knows better than anyone that there is no difference between people and fireworks in the sky, just that she is gorgeous and free when she is born, and everything else is vain.
When she was forced by those few villains to the point that there was no way out, she dared to die in a grand manner, and seeing such a good man who was unparalleled, she had no reason to hesitate.
Her gaze swept lightly over Zhao Pu, and when she lowered her head slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
It doesn't matter what the result is, no matter who will stop him, you have to try to find out.
——
This smile was only seen by Zhao Pu.
Fang Linyuan and Li Chengan next to him were still arguing with each other, saying that the few people on the painting boat should be sentenced to March or June according to the provisions of the garrison order, but Zhao Pu, who was sitting in front of Xiao Yingchun, looked faintly stiff.
He looked sideways at Fang Linyuan.
Fang Linyuan and Li Chengan were arguing with Li Chengan at the most intense stage at this time: "If the garrison order is loaded and does not cause actual harm or loss, the main thing is to admonish and deterrence. ”
Li Chengan on the opposite side was unconvinced: "But didn't Mrs. Xiao almost drown?" According to me, this is clearly a deliberate killing. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, murder requires confirmation that the person was pushed down the river by them before it can be judged in this way." Fang Linyuan didn't give an inch.
"It's only March, do you want to let this group of villains get away with it?"
"Acting according to the law, you haven't learned after all these years in the Sixteenth Guard? If you want to be willful, hand over the official seal earlier, and go to the rivers and lakes to be a ranger......"
Li Chengan couldn't say anything about him, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yingchun next to him.
"Mrs. Xiao, you don't want those people to be free like this, do you? Trimester? Anyway, they have to be locked up, and they will be skinned. ”
He cheekily fouled and tried to pull the victim into the camp to speak for himself.
Immediately, his and Fang Linyuan's eyes all fell on Xiao Yingchun.
But seeing Xiao Yingchun raise his eyes, he looked straight at Fang Linyuan, a pair of Jianshui autumn pupils looked at him half green and half tenacious, and said softly.
"I don't care, the general just deals with it according to the law. The slave family was able to be saved by the general today, and it was fortunate that he turned the crisis into safety, and he didn't dare to ask for anything else. ”
The accomplice who was brought in turned against him, Li Chengan was dumbfounded, and Fang Linyuan's eyes lit up, and he was so happy that he almost high-fived.
"Look, Miss Xiao is righteous!" He said to Li Chengan. "Miss Xiao just doesn't know the law of the garrison order and understands what it means to deal with it according to the law, can you look at yourself?"
Li Chengan is about to jump.
And over there, Xiao Yingchun, who had soft eyes and affectionate veins, looked at Fang Linyuan, a tough smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the pear vortex on his lips rippled just right.
"General False, what can I understand?" She said softly.
And Fang Linyuan, who was over there, looked at Li Chengan, who was jumping to his feet in anger, and raised his eyebrows at him.
Li Chengan, this kid is indeed smart, and he also has the mind to discipline him. Seeing that he was deflated, Fang Linyuan raised his lips and smiled, and pursued Xiao Yingchun by praising him: "The girl is too modest. You don't know, this kid ......."
"Ahem."
Just then, a small, coughing sound came from beside him, interrupting his next words.
——
Zhao Xuan frowned slightly, clenched his fist in front of his lips, and a trace of irritability flashed between his eyebrows.
After he was pushed underwater by Zhao Jin, he had a high fever for two days, and then he fell into the old disease of choking when the cold wind blew.
He was very disgusted with these traces on his body, and every time he had a seizure, he forcibly endured it, and over the years, it gradually became a habit, and few people knew that he would be like this.
It's just a ......
He was really disgusted by the woman's attitude, so he only cared about Fang Linyuan's reaction, and he didn't notice it for a while, and actually coughed.
He was now in two identities, and it was extremely dangerous for him to have such an obvious habitual behavior.
He pursed his lips slightly, breathed down without a trace, and then raised his head to look at the few people who had just been interrupted by his cough.
In the past, there were occasional situations like this, and he had always dealt with them with ease, and he could easily expose them.
But when he raised his eyes, he bumped into Fang Linyuan's gaze.
In those eyes, he saw a clear, genuine concern.
And under the worried look, the figure of himself reflected in those eyes, there is no second person.
——
Fang Linyuan looked at Zhao Pu.
I saw him raise his hand to his lips, but as if he couldn't help it, he coughed, and then followed by another sound.
"What's wrong?" Fang Linyuan hurriedly asked.
saw Zhao Pu put down his hand and was about to answer, but there was a violent cough, and even his shoulders were trembling.
He looked a little pitiful, his face was pale, and his eyes were slightly red.
Xiao Yingchun, who was sitting opposite him, looked stupid.
She saw that the tall and silent man, in a few breaths, a pair of eyes were easily filled with water vapor, and he looked like a rippling wave that was about to fall.
But when he raised his eyes, Xiao Yingchun met his gaze.
Cold, calm, just a glance, but full of condescending provocation.
Person...... A big man, how to ...... How to come up with such a means!
Over there, Fang Linyuan didn't notice the confrontation between the two of them, and when he saw that Zhao Xuan was coughing badly, he panicked for a while.
Is he okay? He knew before that Zhao Pu was sick at the root, could the cold wind not blow?
Yes, the first time he saw Zhao Pu, he was in the cold winter, and his clothes were as weak as if he was about to be blown down by the wind at any time. It was he who missed it, and he actually wore Zhao Pu's robe on the deck......
He didn't have anything else at hand, so he hurriedly found the cup of warm Dian Red and handed it to Zhao Pu, and asked, "But it's cold?" ”
When the words fell, he realized that his tone was too familiar, and hurriedly added: "Zhu Gongzi? ”
Zhao Xuan coughed and turned his head to see the cup of tea.
His eyes paused slightly.
Even Fang Linyuan himself didn't pay attention, it was the cup he had just drunk.
Then, I saw that Zhao Pu barely stopped coughing, and took the tea with a pale and slender hand.
"It doesn't matter." I only heard his voice a little hoarse, with a slight tremor after coughing. "Just a little wind on the deck."
His voice was very soft, and he looked at Fang Linyuan.
Xiao Yingchun, who was opposite, couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in his hand.
She really underestimated this man, but she didn't expect him to use the means, and the means were so good.
Only the time he looked at the general, a pair of peach blossom eyes were as if he had become a fox with tears, teaching him to look at it like that, who could not be hooked away from his soul?
This male fox has become a spirit, and he can also kill people.
Xiao Yingchun couldn't help but have the idea of bowing to the wind for a while. Even if she saw that he was using the tears he coughed up to pretend, but with such a look and scenery, she thought that she would not be able to learn the charm of it for another three years.
But Fang Linyuan, who was opposite Zhao Pu, was stunned.
He...... He can't blow the wind, and he helped himself block the river breeze just now?
Seeing that Zhao Xuan was fine, when he looked at him, there were tears in his eyes, but he was still comforting him with his eyes.
He didn't have to......
It was clearly a cold snake, but it was entrenched in front of him. The cool rain and wind were nothing to him, but he saw the rain fall into the broken scales.
But it trembled, but it was still telling him with a pair of clear cold and merciless eyes that it was okay.
How could Fang Linyuan stand this?
But he couldn't lose his temper in front of others, and looked at Zhao Pu for a moment before he reluctantly said: "Let's drink some tea to warm up first, and when we stay on the shore for a while, we can see Langzhong." ”
Zhao Pu nodded silently, coughed twice in his throat, and handed the teacup to his lips.
It stands to reason that he should have raised his eyes and demonstrated to Xiao Yingchun.
But the edge of the warm cup touched his lips, just like when he touched Fang Linyuan's lips just now.
Zhao Pu's heart burst into flames.
Full of calculations and selfishness, at this moment, all dissipated cleanly.
He made the gesture of drinking tea with his cup, but he was completely instinctive, and he didn't notice whether he had drunk tea or not.
As he put down the teacup, he lowered his eyes, and his fingers touched the rim of the cup carefully and gently, as if they were unintentional.
It was as if through the warm porcelain cup touched Fang Linyuan's lips.
A piece of crispy numbness.
——
The ship stopped at the dock, and the boatman set up the shipboard for them to disembark, and several people went ashore one after another.
Zhao Pu got into the carriage parked on the shore alone.
Fang Linyuan led a team of sixteen guards, and he had to escort those prisoners back to the garrison first, so he had to be separated from Zhao Pu on the dock.
"Remember to see Langzhong, Childe." Before leaving, Fang Linyuan didn't forget to stop in front of Zhao Pu's window and reminded.
Zhao Pu nodded at Fang Linyuan through the window of the carriage.
The carriage departed, and Zhao Pu sat on the car, watching the lights on the dock outside the window gradually fade away.
On the way in the middle of the night, he slowly raised his hand and took off the beast mask.
The team of the Sixteen Guards was already far away, and the sound was gradually inaudible. Zhao Xuan lowered his eyes and quietly watched the evil beast of the golden eagle in his hand reflect the dim light under the light.
What is he doing?
Competing with the Qinglou girl and being jealous, showing off her demeanor in front of Fang Linyuan.
Pulling his old illness in front of Fang Linyuan's eyes, but just to let his gaze stay on him for a few more moments, only
In order to make his eyes look a hundred times more moving than that prostitute.
It's like selling your flesh.
He clearly should feel ashamed, but when Fang Linyuan turned his gaze to him, he was like a thief who had stolen a treasure, and unconsciously gave birth to a despicable joy.
The faint light outside the curtain entered the window, and the beast head in his hand reflected his reflection, and for a moment, it fell into his eyes.
He saw that in the reflection of the mask, it seemed that the concubines in his father's palace were looking forward to the rain and dew, with sad eyebrows, but they still had to decorate their sad faces with one stroke to make it show a rich brilliance.
Zhao Pu's hand holding the mask slowly tightened.
He knew what would happen to those women, and he knew exactly where the root of their pathos was.
He struggled to crawl out of the mud, was it just to be them?
Zhao Pu stared at the mask for a long time, as if it was a confrontation between evil spirits.
In a moment, he jerked the demon upside down in his lap.
How can it be.
What kind of love should be fake. He is like this now, I am afraid that he was just confused by Wu Xinghai's crazy words, and he was entangled in the vain thing of love, so that he really regarded himself as Fang Linyuan's wife and his vassal.
Zhao Pu's hand resting on his lap slowly retracted.
Fortunately, he has always been sober and rational, and even if he occasionally stumbles, he will quickly wake up.
Horse-drawn carriages drove silently through the streets late at night, and the sound of wooden wheels crushing over the masonry could be heard clearly. Zhao Pu also lowered his eyes and took a deep breath in this cold and hard voice.
He lifted the curtain of the car, and the icy night breeze poured in immediately, raising his black hair violently.
In this way, he let the cold wind blow through his body, so as to calm his heart and regain his ability to think rationally.
At this point, there can be no second time. He should have the self-esteem of being a human being, and he should also have the calmness that he has been accustomed to for many years. His mind should be used to deal with more urgent matters, and those lies and disguises should not be used to coax a man.
He told himself as quickly as he recited a scripture in his heart, and the voice in his heart was unusually calm under the cold wind.
Only the hand resting on his lap twisted back and forth uncontrollably.
That's where he stroked the rim of the cup on the boat today.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that there was a stagnant water in his heart, as if he had returned to the state that had made him peaceful.
This should be what he wants, but for some reason there is a kind of unexplained depression.
It's like you're forcing yourself to throw away something as important.
What's important? It's just a matter of cutting off the useless branches and leaves that grow out of his heart, lest they suck away his heart's work like parasites......
Zhao Pu's hand resting on his lap twisted it lightly again.
Da-da-da.
Suddenly, his immobile heart skipped a beat.
Immediately after, the second and third...... Faster and clearer.
Zhao Pu suddenly realized that it was the sound of horses' hooves outside the window.
He turned back through the curtain of the chariot and saw a horse in the dark red of the night. Immediately the man was dressed in his robe, and his snow-white robe and wide sleeves fluttered in the night.
It's just that the man doesn't seem to be used to wearing such clothes, and the sleeves of his coat are twisted with the reins. As he galloped his horse, he pulled his arms and sleeves back and forth, stretching his shoulders and backs out of his figure.
That person just crashed into Zhao Xuan's eyes.
For a moment, it slammed into his heart.
He felt that the branch and leaf in his heart, which he had severed, grew wildly again, spreading and entwining in his helplessness, and in an instant he had wrapped his clean heart in it.
He obviously thought about it, he should be dignified, he should be calm, and stop bothering to entangle him and attract him......
The voice in Zhao Pu's heart stumbled, and he was so anxious and panicked that even his breath was chaotic. He warned nervously, but it grew weaker and weaker, more and more confused.
Zhao Pu coughed uncontrollably, and when he held back any longer, he already needed to grit his teeth.
He has always been comfortable with this in the past......
Until the man pulled the reins, the horse neighed and followed him beside his carriage.
I saw that Fang Linyuan saw him, and his face immediately showed a sad color.
"How did you pick it...... Masks? He asked in a carefully lowered voice in the second half of his sentence.
Don't beg for his gaze......
I saw Fang Linyuan ask again: "How are you feeling now, are you still coughing?" ”
Zhao Pu looked at him, the voice in his heart almost choked his neck, and asked him if he had to throw away even the last bit of dignity and throw it in front of Fang Linyuan's horse, begging him to trample on it.
And his response was two subtle, suppressed light coughs, as if his bones had been frozen by the cold wind for a long time.
He didn't want his dignity anymore.
——
Fang Linyuan got into the carriage without hesitation.
The driver who drove the car was Zhao Pu's subordinates, and he acted neatly and cautiously, thinking that Zhao Pu could use it with confidence, he didn't worry about it.
As soon as he entered the carriage, he raised his hand and took off his outer robe, and wrapped it around Zhao Pu: "You can't blow the cold wind, why are you wearing so little?" I'm fine, and I'm not afraid of the cold, why do you have to block it for me...... Go back and let the silk show you, boil some medicine, drink it and then rest. ”
He had been holding his stomach on the boat just now, and now he poured out all his brains.
I saw Zhao Xuan lowering his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he coughed a few more times.
"I'm fine." He said. "Why are you here?"
Fang Linyuan scratched his head when he heard this, looked a little embarrassed, and said truthfully: "I guess you probably won't be looking at Lang Zhong outside...... I asked Li Chengan to go back with someone first, and I found it myself along the way home. ”
Speaking of this, he was slightly stunned and asked, "However, will you be followed like this?" ”
I saw Zhao Pu shaking his head: "I have someone in the dark to deal with." ”
Fang Linyuan nodded halfway through, and then realized that something was wrong: "Then why didn't they stop me?" ”
Zhao Xuan turned his head to look at him, paused, and said.
"They know you." He said.
Fang Linyuan didn't quite understand what he meant, but after all, Zhao Pu knew in his heart, he was still sick now, so he didn't ask much.
He sat beside Zhao Pu and felt the cold air exuding from his body...... No wonder this man has always been like a snake lizard, always colder than others.
He looked at Zhao Pu.
Even he didn't know why he had to chase so far in the middle of the night, just because he didn't worry about Zhao Pu's illness and went home by himself.
But at this moment, seeing that Zhao Pu was still a little weak, so that he didn't seem to belong, Fang Linyuan felt that he should come to accompany him.
After all...... People like Zhao Pu probably really understand how painful it is to be in the cold, so they will use their bodies to block the cold wind for him.
Fang Linyuan was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he looked at Zhao Pu and asked softly, "Is it still cold at this time?" ”
Zhao Pu actually didn't feel much about the cold.
The wind just now made his bones ache, but it could make him refreshed. But now, Fang Linyuan was sitting beside him, and he could feel the vigorous warmth, as well as Fang Linyuan's bright eyes.
He seemed to have a feeling for the cold again.
After a moment, he shook his head, and the other party Lin Yuan said, "Don't worry. ”
Fang Linyuan looked at his appearance at this time, looked at it for a moment, and blinked slightly.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered when he first met Zhao Pu. He draped his clothes over Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu returned them, saying that this was his thing and he didn't want it.
Fang Linyuan remembered that for a long time, his wish was that one day he could drape his robe over him openly, so that he would never be so cold again.
To this day...... His dream seemed to have come true in another way.
…… It's too deranged.
Fang Linyuan was startled, and hurriedly turned his eyes away.
What do you think...... He was afraid that he didn't teach Jiang Shui to freeze his head.
——
Fang Linyuan didn't speak for a moment, and when Zhao Pu turned his head to look at him again, he found that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Thinking about it, he was tired after a busy day and swam in the river again.
But he was clearly tired for a day, and he had to chase his car on horseback.
Zhao Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at him.
At this moment, the carriage turned a corner, and the carriage turned to one side, so that Fang Linyuan planted it towards the carriage.
Zhao Xuan immediately raised his hand and blocked it between his forehead and the carriage.
Fang Linyuan's forehead lightly slammed into his palm.
Zhao Pu twisted his eyebrows slightly, looked up at the outside of the car, and was about to see how the dead man was driving, when his arms sank, and then a warm fit leaned into his shoulder socket.
Zhao Pu's shoulders and arms froze.
As if a clay sculpture, after a moment, he regained control of his body and slowly lowered his head.
I saw Fang Linyuan's pitch-black hair, and the appearance of leaning on his arms looked very obedient. And the hand he was originally blocking on the carriage also became an arm around Fang Linyuan's back at this time.
The despicable thief actually stumbled upon the treasure.
Zhao Xuan slowly tightened his arm uncontrollably, but his palm stopped at a position half an inch away from Fang Linyuan's shoulder, and the void surrounded him.
He was afraid to wake him up, because he was in his arms.
This thought caused Zhao Pu's throat to roll up and down uncontrollably, and even his breath was burned by Fang Linyuan's breath for a moment.
His heartbeat seemed to be right in his ears, and it was loud and loud, fierce and messy, making his blood rush and fill his whole body.
Even the lush vine in his heart rattled.
What dignity, what calmness? Even the palace concubines in the deep palace who sit and watch through the autumn water every day will not be without reason, and they can spend their lives waiting for what a precious favor.
Fang Linyuan in his arms moved slightly.
He seemed to be sleeping well, smacked his lips, and gently rubbed Zhao Xuan's shoulder socket twice like rubbing a pillow.
At that moment, the thief was eager to hand over his dignity and his life to him, let him trample on it, and crush it with him.
As long as he can stay here, he can still lean on his arms like this, rubbing against him.
He may be crazy, but he is understandable.
After all, who has the privilege of stealing the glorious sun into their bosom in this life? Please keep in mind: , URL mobile version,
