When Xia Chunyu saw the banknote and listened to what the guard told him, his face became ashen as if someone had splashed ink on his face.
"Where are the people?"
Seeing that the prince's face was not kind, the guard replied tremblingly: "Let's go."
"How long?"
"Just after he left, the young one came to report to the Crown Prince. I believe he won't be far away."
"Prepare your horse." Xia Chunyu immediately chased Ye Jiayao.
Sure enough, he saw Yaoyao not far after chasing him out. It's so late at night, and you don't have to worry about meeting bad people while wandering the streets alone.
Xia Chunyu rode his horse forward, approached her, and fished her out with his long arm.
Ye Jiayao heard the sound of horse hooves and was about to step aside, but she jumped into the air.
Ye Jiayao screamed in shock.
Xia Chunyu sat her in front and held her tightly with one hand, fearing that she would fall.
He shouted in a low voice: "Shut up."
Ye Jiayao closed her mouth and glared at the stupid donkey: "Why are you arresting me?"
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows: "Is this called arrest?"
"What if it's not arrest? Let me go quickly."
"If you don't let go, you came to the door yourself, will I let you go?" Xia Chunyu made a pun.
"I'm asking you to pay back the money, and I'm warning you by the way." Ye Jiayao said fiercely.
"No matter why, since we are here, let's have a good chat." Xia Chunyu had already guessed that she would not accept his kindness, but it was her business not to accept it, and it was his business whether to do it or not.
"What do I have to talk about with you? Are we familiar with each other? We just acted in a play together." Ye Jiayao said coldly, and was held in his arms, following the rhythm of the horse's pace, rubbing against him every now and then. His solid chest couldn't help but think of those scenes that made people blush, and then the heartbeat began to change.
"Can you please stop mentioning the word acting? You should be able to understand my situation at that time." Xia Chunyu's chin was rubbing against her ear, and the fine hair was floating on his face, itching and feeling tender in his heart. He felt particularly at ease when he saw her, even if she didn't feel good about him.
Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and said to herself, I understand your size. Does your being an undercover agent have anything to do with not letting Song Qi call her sister-in-law? To put it bluntly, if you don't like it, then don't like it. If you don't like it, just dislike it. Although I have a big nerve, I am still quite thin-skinned. I still understand what it means to be self-aware.
"Okay, let's not mention the past, can't we just pretend we don't know each other? You will be your eldest son, and I will be my little chef. We have nothing to do with each other, can't we?" Ye Jiayao said in a muffled voice.
"No." Xia Chunyu simply rejected her request.
Hu... The horse stopped, Xia Chunyu turned over and dismounted, and was about to hug her, but she jumped off on her own and still stood firm. Xia Chunyu cursed in her heart: Woman, can't you pretend to be weak
Ye Jiayao clapped her hands: "Let's go, no need to send me off, see you again." She turned around and ran away.
Xia Chunyu pulled her back and said, "Let's talk about it."
"Hey, Prince, your night life should consist of sitting on a boat floating on the river, drinking wine, listening to songs, and hugging beauties, instead of chatting with others here." Ye Jiayao said sarcastically.
Xia Chunyu's lips curved: "What a great idea. I'm ready to do this. Let's do it together!"
With that said, he dragged Ye Jiayao and walked towards the dock.
"Hey, don't corrupt me. I'm a poor boy. I won't follow the tricks of your playboys." Ye Jiayao struggled.
"It's okay. I'm treating you. You don't have to pay for it." Xia Chunyu pulled her directly onto a boat.
"Boatman, sail the boat."
The boatman was overjoyed. It was so late. He thought there was no business, but it turned out that there were still customers. He immediately said loudly: "Yes, sir, let's sail right away."
There is usually a waiter or a concubine in the painting boat, depending on what the guests like.
Xia Chunyu pulled her to sit down, and then a woman dressed in a coquettish way offered her snacks and wine. Her eyebrows were rippled and her voice was charming: "Master, what else do you need?"
From beginning to end, this woman didn't even look at Ye Jiayao. What's there to see in such a shabby boy? The richly dressed young man is the gold master!
Xia Chunyu put one hundred taels of silver notes on the table: "Bring me everything I have, and make a pot of Liu'an tea."
The woman's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Wait a moment, sir, I will bring it to you right now."
Ye Jiayao looked at the one hundred taels of silver notes and thought to herself, this boat boat is really profitable. Just get some drinks, a few plates of dried fruits, float on the river and get a hundred taels of silver. When I get rich, I will also contract a few boats.
Seeing her staring at the banknote, Xia Chunyu thought she felt distressed, and said with a smile: "I invite you to swim in the lake, and you will accept the banknote."
Ye Jiayao's eyes suddenly widened: "Boatman, stop the boat."
Damn, that’s so wicked, you forced me to come here, right? This banknote is none of my business.
Naturally, the boatman would not stop the boat unless the handsome young man spoke.
Ye Jiayao was so upset that she really wanted to kick him when he saw the guy with his arms folded and a proud look on his face.
Mei Jiao Niang brought agate grapes, candied almonds, a stack of fried crispy dried fish, and a pot of Liu'an melon slices. "
Xia Chunyu raised his hand to signal her to retreat.
"Want to know Aunt Jiang's condition?" Xia Chunyu poured tea for Ye Jiayao and poured a glass of wine himself.
Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Xia Chunyu just said: "Their family will come to Jinling in a while, and they should still be in Jining to see their son. They have no choice but to go to the mountains to become bandits. This time, Uncle Jiang has made a great contribution. I asked the government to dismiss his case, and I can finally go back to the mountains openly." Hometown."
Ye Jiayao was very pleased, but also curious, what kind of crime could Uncle Jiang commit? His face was expressionless.
"Do you know why they go up to the mountains to become bandits?"
"A bully in their village took a liking to Uncle Jiang's little daughter and wanted to taint her. In desperation, Uncle Jiang picked up a hoe and beat her to death."
Ye Jiayao thought to herself: I didn't realize that the honest and honest Uncle Jiang was so bloody.
"As for Aunt Zhao and the people who were kidnapped up the mountain, I have released them all. Those who have done nothing bad will be handed over to Feng Chaolin for resettlement."
Ye Jiayao finally couldn't help but asked: "What about Peng Wu? I heard that he was framed by you."
Xia Chunyu looked at her with squinted eyes and smiled inexplicably: "What kind of person do you think Peng Wu is?"
Ye Jiayao curled her lips and said: "Anyway, he is very good to me. He is called sister-in-law before and after sister-in-law. He is also very diligent in helping with work."
Xia Chunyu sneered and said: "People should not be judged by their appearance. You see, he doesn't talk much and is very diligent, but he is the most brutal killer in Heifenggang. When Bai Chongye's men first gathered together, most of the murders were committed by him and Sheng Wu. The whole village was bathed in blood! Their hands were covered in blood."
Ye Jiayao was stunned. She really knew people, faces but not hearts.
"As a felon, he will be handed over to the government for disposal. He will probably die." Xia Chunyu finished his glass of wine. This topic seems too heavy and deviates from the original intention. His original intention is to talk about some familiar people and recall the past, so as to shorten the distance.
Ye Jiayao drank tea in silence, feeling very uncomfortable. Even though he was as bad as the second master, his actions before his death had been cleared up in her heart. It didn't matter what others thought. No matter how bad the person was, there was always a good side.
"Yao Yao, go back to the Ye family. As long as I am here, the Ye family will not dare to do anything to you again." Xia Chunyu returned to the topic. This was part of his plan.
Ye Jiayao looked at him as if he were an idiot: "You don't have to worry about my affairs."
How happy she is now, why would she go back and face those annoying guys? Self-abuse? Unless she's out of her mind.
"Do you want to live in heaven for the rest of your life?"
"Of course not, I will stay for three years at most, and then I will open my own restaurant and make a lot of money." Ye Jiayao said casually, uh... why did she tell him her plan
"Then you plan to remain neither a boy nor a girl for the rest of your life?" Xia Chunyu asked.
Ye Jiayao blinked her big eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Why am I neither a boy nor a girl? Who doesn't praise me as a handsome young man? Why do I sound so ugly when it comes to your mouth?"
Xia Chunyu had black lines all over her head, but she actually boasted that she was handsome, which really impressed her.
"The word handsome is mostly used to praise women. Men usually use the word handsome, dashing, jade trees in the wind, and majestic weapons. Do you understand? When people say you are handsome, it doesn't mean you have a little bit of that..." Xia Chunyu said sarcastically.
Ye Jiayao put down the tea cup and frowned angrily: "Which one is that? You just have so many twists and turns in your mind."
Xia Chunyu disagreed: "That's because I know your true face." As he spoke, his eyes went to her breasts, which were wrapped in cloth strips.
Ye Jiayao hurriedly covered her chest: "Why are your eyes rolling around?" Ye Jiayao wanted to vomit blood when she thought about being stared at by him last night. Although she had been stared at by him a long time ago, they have nothing to do with each other now. What to see
Xia Chunyu sighed slightly: "I heard that if the blood is not flowing smoothly when wrapped like this, it is easy to cause problems."
"You don't need to worry about it." Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at him.
A painting boat floated over, and the two boats were almost side by side. It was very cool to sit on the painting boat on a summer night, so the windows on both sides were fully open, allowing the cool breeze to filter in, and you could also watch the night view on the river.
"Eh? Isn't that Xia Chunyu?" Zhao Qixuan, who was swimming in the river again, spotted Xia Chunyu and waved the fan in his hand excitedly.
"Xia Chunyu..."
Xia Chunyu looked up and saw Zhao Qixuan. He nodded slightly and raised his glass as a greeting.
Ye Jiayao heard the sound very familiar, so she took a look.
This time, Zhao Qixuan also saw him: "Uh, Li Yao, are you there?"
This... this was so unexpected. If Li Yao was swimming in the lake with Xiao Jing, how could he still understand why he was with Xia Chunyu? The point is, it's very late now, and only a nocturnal god like him is still floating on the river.
Ye Jiayao smiled awkwardly and cursed herself, why are you poking around? Curiosity killed the cat.
Zhao Qixuan extended an invitation: "Xia Chunyu, why don't you come over for a drink?"
Xia Chunyu smiled lightly: "No, let's meet up another day!"
Zhao Qixuan smiled all over his face: "Okay, I'll be the host another day."
The two boats slowly moved away from each other. Zhao Qixuan was full of doubts and even invited him over for a drink. He wanted to live in a world of two! Does Xiao Jing know about this
