Thinking of Qin Xiuzhi's arrogant back, Shang Jun walked to his room involuntarily. When he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of Xiuzhi's door. The faint candlelight came out from the room, which was warm and quiet. Shang Jun was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when a soft female voice came from inside the room, causing his hand to freeze.
"Master, let Liuli help you."
Qin Xiuzhi put his red and swollen hands between his sleeves, and replied cautiously, "I don't dare to bother the girl." He didn't expect that the girl would come alone to thank her. Living alone in the same room would really damage her name. Festival.
Long Liuli stared blankly at the man in front of her with bright eyes. It was him who rescued her. She recognized these eyes, as gentle as the early spring breeze, and his voice, murmured softly. When she was in a coma, his image kept circling in her mind, accompanying her through the darkness and fear. The moment she woke up, she just wanted to see him right away, so she came for it.
Seeing Qin Xiuzhi's uneasy look in his eyes, Long Liuli lowered his head slightly and replied softly, "Liuli just wanted to thank the son for his life-saving grace. Before coming, he explained the reason to his brother, the son does not need to worry. But if Liuli lets you Young Master is so embarrassed, Liuli is gone."
Long Liuli frowned and whispered, looking aggrieved. Qin Xiuzhi got up quickly, bowed slightly, and said, "Miss is serious, I just..." Just what? For a while, Qin Xiuzhi didn't know how to answer without hurting her face. Qin Xiuzhi was really embarrassed.
Qin Xiuzhi's embarrassment made Long Liuli smile lightly. He was as modest as she imagined. Picking up the white jade ointment on the table, Long Liuli smiled softly: "Young master's frostbite should be treated as soon as possible, so as not to leave the root of the disease in the future."
Qin Xiuzhi was in a dilemma. She kindly helped him to apply the medicine, and he seemed to hurt her face by refusing it, but he felt it was inappropriate to let her use the medicine. How can this be good? Qin Xiuzhi didn't say a word, Long Liuli got up directly, pulled Qin Xiuzhi's sleeves to sit down at the table, picked up a plaster with his fingertips, and gently smeared Qin Xiuzhi's fingertips.
Is Xiuzhi's hand frostbitten? I got frostbite when I went out today. He didn't notice it at all. Shang Jun looked in worriedly, and only vaguely saw the beautiful back of the woman, who was carefully applying medicine for Xiu. Shang Jun stroked his hand beside the door and put it down again, what did he do when he went in? With such a gentle and meticulous beauty to take care of, where else do you need him
Putting down his hands in a daze, Shang Jun didn't turn his head, no longer looked at the gentleness of that room, and walked away.
Long Liuli's hand just touched Qin Xiuzhi's fingertip, Qin Xiuzhi immediately withdrew his hand, took out the ointment and smeared it on his hand. After it was even, Qin Xiuzhi quickly smiled and said, "It's done, thank you girl."
Long Liuli looked at the ointment in her hand, dumbfounded, she was so scary
Just as Shang Jun was about to step out of the small courtyard where Xiuzhi lived, he immediately heard a slightly sharp female voice: "Alas, gentlemen, if you break in like this, do we still want to do business?"
Shang Jun dodged back to the small courtyard, and looked against the courtyard wall. More than fifty iron armored soldiers were standing in the center of the courtyard, and their keen eyes scanned every corner of the courtyard. The leader ignored the boss' shouting and said coldly, "Search!"
With an order, the Iron Armored Army was immediately divided into three groups and rushed to each side courtyard. One of the teams rushed towards him, thinking of Long Liuli in Xiuzhi's room, Shang Jun turned around and ran to Qin Xiuzhi's room.
When the door was suddenly pushed open, Qin Xiuzhi and Long Liuli were both startled. Seeing that it was Lord Shang, Qin Xiuzhi asked, "Mr. Shang, what happened?"
While closing the door, Shang Jun explained: "The Iron Armored Army is searching, and they will search here soon." His voice finally fell, and the sound of footsteps was approaching the small courtyard.
Iron Armor! Long Liuli's face was ashen, and she whispered, "They must be here to catch my brother!"
"Don't worry about the county master, there will be someone around to take care of Prince Rui, but you..." The people in the Iron Armored Army must have seen Long Liuli's portrait, so they couldn't let them find her. Shang Jun looked around the room worriedly, and was disappointed to find that there was nothing to hide.
Is she the princess? That man was Prince Rui, and Shang Jun obviously knew, so he planned to save them long ago? Qin Xiuzhi felt that he was very sad, and he really didn't know anything about Shang Jun.
Shang Jun looked at Qin Xiuzhi who was in a daze, and said anxiously, "Can Xiuzhi help her disguise?"
After coming back to his senses, Qin Xiuzhi shook his head as he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, "It's too late."
It was really too late, Shang Jun frowned and thought, suddenly raised his head to look at Long Liuli's beautiful face, his eyes darkened, and said in a deep voice: "So... Shang Jun has offended."
After speaking, I only heard the sound of torn clothes. Long Liuli's outer robe was torn off by Shang Jun, revealing the thin middle clothes on his body.
"Ah!" Long Liuli's face changed dramatically, she wrapped her arms around her arms, stared at Shang Jun in horror, and hid behind Qin Xiuzhi.
Shang Jun threw his clothes scattered on the ground, as if he was not satisfied, and continued to bully him. Qin Xiuzhi grabbed Shang Jun's hand and asked in a low voice, "Shang Jun, what are you doing?"
His hand was grabbed by Qin Xiuzhi, and Shang Jun no longer grabbed Long Liuli, but he put his hand on Xiuzhi's shirt and pulled it hard, and Shang Jun also took off Qin Xiuzhi's shirt. Throwing the clothes in a mess in front of the bed, Shang Jun grabbed Qin Xiuzhi and Long Liuli and pushed them down on the bed.
"Shangjun..."
"Protect her, don't let anyone see her face." After hurriedly dropping a sentence, Shang Jun lightly pulled the gauze curtain and flew over the beam. At the same time, the door was kicked open with a rude kick.
If you still don't understand what Shang Jun means at this time, then he is too stupid. Qin Xiuzhi quickly pulled up the thin quilt next to him and covered Long Liuli's body. He cursed loudly, "Who are you, how can you break in like this, this son spent money!"
Long Liuli curled up and leaned against Qin Xiuzhi, not daring to move.
The Iron Armored Army rushed in, looked at the messy clothes in this room, probably knew what was going on, ignored the two people on the bed, and turned the room upside down. Shang Jun lay on the roof beam, caressed the soft sword around his waist, and stared at the beautiful bed.
After searching again, a teenager whispered beside the leader: "Sir, I didn't find it."
The leader narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the woman in Qin Xiuzhi's arms. Shang Jun was startled, could there be any flaws
The room became unusually quiet, Long Liuli trembled slightly in shock, Qin Xiuzhi suddenly grabbed Long Liuli's waist, hugged her across his lap, and glared at the leader. Qin Xiu, acting like a dude, shouted, "What are you looking at? Xiao Cui has already taken care of me tonight, she is mine!" After he finished speaking, he shouted to the outside of the courtyard, "Mother, mama Come here for me!"
The old maid rushed in, saw the person on the bed clearly, raised a smiling face, and apologized: "Young master, let go of your anger, it's all my fault, I'll bring you Xiaohong as well, it's my compensation, I'll make sure tonight. Make you happy."
"Go away, you don't have any money when you're a master, don't you?"
"Oh, what are you talking about, calm down, calm down."
The two quarreled hotly, and the leader frowned impatiently and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
After the Tiejia Army and his party left, the old bustard shouted loudly: "Young master, don't be angry, I will prepare some good wine and food for you immediately." After saying that, he bowed slightly to make a blessing, closed the door, and chased the Tiejia Army away. .
As soon as the door was closed, Qin Xiuzhi immediately got up and got out of bed, put down the veil next to the bed, and then quickly said, "Xiuzhi has offended him." At this time, he was no longer as frivolous as before.
Long Liuli raised her head slightly, her face like a peach blossom. Covering her fiery cheeks, she took a few deep breaths before she could reply as calmly as possible: "It's an expedient measure, you don't have to worry about it, son."
sky! Her heart was about to jump out. Just now, when she was leaning against his arms, she thought she would faint. He smelled good, and even his heartbeat was gentle and steady, just like his people.
Shang Jun jumped down from the beam of the house. Just now, he suddenly exercised, and his chest hurt a little. He leaned against the window, and Shang Jun secretly adjusted his breath.
Qin Xiuzhi hurried forward to meet him and said anxiously, "Your chest hurts again?"
Shaking his head indifferently, Shang Jun smiled and said, "It's not in the way. I'm not used to it now that it doesn't hurt."
The always gentle Xiuzhi's eyes became sullen when he heard him make fun of himself for not cherishing his body. Shang Jun raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly returned: "I must be careful next time."
next time? It's always the next time, Qin Xiuzhi doesn't have any hope for his guarantee.
Leaning against the edge of the window, Shang Jun crossed his arms, looked Qin Xiuzhi up and down, and joked with a half-smile, "I didn't expect that gentleman Qianqian also has an 'unknown' side, and Shang Jun admires it." Just now he shouted, "You When you thought that your father had no money, right?" Shang Jun almost didn't laugh. Unexpectedly, the gentle and elegant Xiu Zhi was so vivid in his appearance as a playboy. No wonder his disguise was so indistinguishable, his disguise was never just his appearance.
Qin Xiuzhi raised the corners of his lips in embarrassment, and replied helplessly: "It's not a ghost idea that you came up with."
Qin Xiuzhi's sad expression amused Shang Jun, and Shang Jun laughed. Seeing him clutching his chest and laughing so fast, Qin Xiuzhi had to pat him on the back and gently persuaded: "Okay, stop laughing, I'll cough again later."
Shang Jun finally restrained his smile, but felt a pair of bright eyes staring straight at him. Shang Jun coughed lightly, cupped his hands slightly, and said, "It happened suddenly and offended, I also look to the county lord Haihan."
Across the gauze curtain, Long Liuli replied softly and gracefully, "Young Master Shang is resourceful and has rescued many times. It should be Liuli's gratitude."
Shang Jun raised the corners of his lips lightly and sighed inwardly, she was indeed a lady, her voice was soft and tactful, and she handled things appropriately, making people feel ashamed. "The county master is serious. After the iron armored army has searched, he should not come back. The county master rests for a while. After they leave, we will send you to meet Prince Rui."
"You have a job." Long Liuli quietly stared at the equally handsome man in front of him. He was standing with Qin Xiuzhi. He was so... how do you say it? She didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but felt a little tightness in her chest.
Shang Jun saluted again and stopped answering. He didn't seem to be used to interacting with such golden branches and jade leaves. Shang Jun turned his head, just in time to see Qin Xiuzhi's swollen and red hands, he frowned, and said in a low voice, "Come here."
Qin Xiuzhi didn't understand why Shang Jun was suddenly in a bad mood, so he followed him to the outer room. Shang Jun was looking for something in the messy room, Qin Xiuzhi asked, "What are you looking for?"
Shang Jun didn't answer him, he quickly found the fallen white jade paste on the ground, picked a little ointment in his hand, and said of course, "Put out your hand."
Xiuzhi regained his senses and looked at his hands. The ointment on his hands had been rubbed off a while ago. He hesitated for a while, but he still stretched out his hands.
The ten red and swollen fingers in front of him made Shang Jun's hand froze when he wanted to apply the medicine. Is this the original pair of slender and white hands? He remembered that his flute was very good. Can he still play such a melodious and euphemistic tune now? Why didn't he find out today!
Shang Jun carefully put the ointment on Qin Xiuzhi's fingertips. He trembled slightly, and Shang Jun didn't dare to wipe it again, he froze there, and asked angrily, "It hurts?"
Seeing his cautious appearance, Qin Xiuzhi chuckled and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt." How could he tell him that the reason why his hands were shaking was because he was the one who helped him apply the medicine!
After rubbing the medicine with great care, Shang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Be careful not to get cold again."
"Ok."
The room was quiet for a while, Xiu Zhi was silent, Shang Jun didn't know what to say, Long Liuli inside the curtain kept looking at them quietly and didn't speak, all this seemed a bit weird and awkward. Shang Jun simply got up, walked to the door and hurriedly said: "You take care of the county master, I will go out and see." Qin Xiuzhi wanted to say something, but it was too late, Shang Jun had already walked outside the house.
He didn't stop for a moment, stepped out of the small courtyard, and Shang Jun slowed down his pace. Now he seems to be less and less able to get along with Xiuzhi. How is this good
When I was in a daze, I only heard the sound of fighting outside the crimson ring. Shang Jun hurried over and saw that in the dark night, on the not spacious street, the iron armored army fought with Long Yihai and his party.
Shang Jun was secretly anxious, how could San'er let Long Yihai be wrapped around the iron armored army, seeing that a long sword was about to cross Long Yihai's neck, although he was powerless, Shang Jun still stroked the soft sword around his waist . Just as he was about to make his move, a depressed male voice sounded behind him: "How many times do you want me to say it before you are willing to obey!"
Shang Jun turned back, just in time to meet Xiao Zongqing's angry and helpless eyes.
Grabbing Shang Jun's hand holding the sword, Xiao Zongqing said in a deep voice, "I said I won't let them die, can you please treat me obediently?" When will he get used to relying on him? When can I be obedient? A sense of powerlessness made Xiao Zongqing feel restless.
Obviously, Shang Jun will never know what it means to be obedient. Without any intention of leaving, Shang Jun leaned against the wall and carefully observed the people in the battle situation. Upon closer inspection, the Iron Armored Army was fierce and fierce. Although Long Yihai and his men were defeated all the way, there was no panic on their faces. Could it be...
Looking at Xiao Zongqing, Shang Jun guessed: "Do you want to do it once and for all?"
His Shangjun is smart, knowing that if he doesn't make it clear, Shangjun will not go back with him, Xiao Zongqing explained: "Don't let them 'kill' Prince Rui, you can't get rid of the entanglement of the iron armored army along the way. In this case, it is better to design them all."
Xiao Zongqing's voice just fell, Long Yihai was already under the cover of He Cheng, riding a fast horse and rushing out of the city, and how could the Iron Armored Army let him go, they immediately chased out, and the horse team entangled all the way. farther.
The snow was still falling, Xiao Zongqing took Shang Jun's shoulders and said softly: "Okay, it's windy outside, go back and rest. We will leave here early tomorrow and go back to Tiancheng." Everything will be as he wished.
"San'er, do you have any plans to hide from me?" Looking calmly at the direction of the horse team's departure, Shang Jun was not in a hurry to go back, and asked Xiao Zongqing for no reason.
There was a trace of panic in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated. Xiao Zongqing held Shang Jun's shoulder, turned him to face him, and replied in a deep voice: "You never have to worry about this, everything I do is In order to achieve your wish, why would you hide it from you?"
Shang Jun's clear eyes met Xiao Zongqing's deep eyes. After a long time, Shang Jun retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Play chess with me, I can't sleep."
"good."
The arrogant back of Shang Jun, who was walking back, made people look a little scared! Xiao Zongqing's fists are gradually clenched, as long as he can protect him and do things for him that he is unwilling to do or can't do, even if he is finally rejected by him, he will not regret it.
…
A white letter fell lightly, and the outcome was decided.
Twelve games of chess, played all night, Shang Jun won the game.
It's not that his chess skills are much better than San'er, but that San'er has been absent-minded.
Shang Jun put the chess pieces into the chess box, gently closed the lid, and the voice of Liu Yun outside the door also sounded at the right time: "Sect Master."
Xiao Zongqing replied wearily: "Come in."
Liu Yun stepped into the room, only stood by the door, and replied, "Sect Master, according to your wishes, Prince Rui has been rescued from the cliff, and the Iron Armored Army is searching the bottom of the cliff." Liu Yun was covered in snow and mud. , Needless to say, I know that the night was extremely thrilling.
"Where is Prince Rui now?"
"In the courtyard."
Xiao Zongqing looked at Shang Jun and said with a smile: "Let's go, the next step is to convince him to walk with us. No matter whether we want to help him ascend the throne in the future, we must make him believe that we are helping him now, so that he can be obedient. The land is at our mercy." And he likes obedient pawns.
Shang Jun nodded gently, did not say much, and followed behind Xiao Zongqing.
When the two came to the courtyard, they saw that Long Yihai and his subordinates were also in a state of embarrassment, even better than Liu Yun. But he looked very happy.
"Prince Rui is shocked." Xiao Zongqing said in a friendly manner.
Long Yihai didn't care about the dirtiness of his body, and laughed loudly: "The sect master is polite, thank the sect master for coming up with such a clever plan to get rid of the iron armored army."
"Getting rid of the iron armored army is only temporary. Long Chimu will not die for a day, I am afraid that Prince Rui will not live in peace for a day."
"You..." Long Yihai's face changed slightly, calling the emperor's name so impolitely was already a capital offense. Is this Xiao Zongqing trying to test him
Because of his reckless words, the courtyard was silent. "What? Is it too direct?" Xiao Zongqing laughed almost arrogantly, staring at Long Yihai's cold face, and said, "I have always liked refreshing people, if Prince Rui wants to take back what belongs to him I can help you. If Prince Rui just wants to hide everywhere and live like a mouse, then leave as soon as possible.”
"Bold!" He Shaohua jumped up, but unfortunately the weapon in his hand had not yet had time to unsheath, and Liu Yun's long sword had been pointed directly at the eyebrows, and the originally pleasant atmosphere immediately turned sharply.
Long Yihai approached Xiao Zongqing, even in this small courtyard, he was not his opponent at all, Long Yihai still had no fear on his face, just asked calmly: "Your purpose?"
Xiao Zongqing seemed very satisfied with Long Yihai's performance, and replied briskly: "It's not a day or two that the silent door is regarded as a thorn in the side by Long Chimu, and these years have been especially intense. You are a smart person, you should know what I want!"
Xiao Zongqing's request is not excessive. Growing up in the gap between interests, Long Yihai naturally knows that everything must be paid for. Turning to look at Shang Jun, who had been standing silently at the end, Long Yihai asked, "Young Master Shang is also a voiceless disciple?"
He originally just wanted to watch, but he never thought that Long Yihai would still think of him at such a time. Shang Jun smiled lightly and replied, "I'm not."
"So you're just a bystander?"
Shang Jun shook his head and replied calmly: "No, if I help you, it is for another matter."
"What do you want?" He has always had a feeling that this businessman is not a person chasing fame and fortune, but he is somewhat looking forward to what kind of conditions he will put forward.
The morning light in winter was actually a bit dazzling, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. Shang Jun stared at the morning glow that pierced through the clouds in the distance, and replied coldly, "Yes, it's fair."
justice? What are the conditions? Even though he had guessed countless conditions that Shang Jun might put forward, he just didn't think of this! At this time, his cold and arrogant appearance was even colder than the snow in the courtyard. Long Yihai was puzzled and asked, "What justice?"
With a slightly sarcastic smile, Shang Jun said with a smile: "Let's talk about it when you actually ascend to the throne." If Long Yihai was not the person he was looking for, then he was not qualified to give him justice to the Wu family.
