Seeing that Yuan Cihan was willing to behave herself, Lu Shiqing raised his body slightly to reduce her burden, loosened his grip on her, then took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort brought by skin-to-skin contact with someone, closed his eyes and listened to the noise outside.
But the next moment, a faint sound of wind suddenly came to my ears.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a dog's hoof enlarged infinitely and heading straight for his forehead!
Xiao Hei, who had been staring blankly at the two people fighting, finally realized something and prepared to rescue his master.
Lu Shiqing's breathing tightened and he quickly turned his head away.
Yuan Cixian was also shocked - oh my little darling, you are going to commit a crime with such a pretty face!
She quickly raised her arm to block and pushed the dog's paw away.
Xiao Hei's loyalty seemed to have been fed to a dog. Seeing that her master seemed to be very happy being oppressed, she knew that she was meddling too much, so she shrank her head and turned away, no longer looking at her.
Yuan Cixian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They were all so difficult to please.
The Uighurs didn't find anything after all, and finally gave up and left after a while. The moment the door lock clicked, Lu Shiqing raised his hand and pushed open the lid of the box.
Yuan Cihan followed and climbed out, holding onto the edge of the box, breathing silently, while staring at him angrily.
Lu Shiqing felt guilty when she looked at him. He turned away awkwardly and lowered his head to do his work.
Before she came, he was rummaging through the box.
Yuan Cixian was also curious about what was inside, so she shifted her attention and squatted to watch him take out the silk bundles one by one. When the dark layer was pried open, she saw a pile of brand new and sharp arrowheads.
Lu Shiqing didn't seem surprised. He took out a piece of black cloth from his arms, padded his hand, picked up one and held it up to the light to have a look. Then he put the items back in their original places, closed the lid of the box, and raised his chin to her to signal him to leave.
Yuan Cihan had seen many different kinds of arrowheads since childhood, so he was naturally not obsessed with this. He quietly jumped out of the back window with him, thinking that these Uighur merchants were doing big business, but they were also very ruthless, allowing two people and a dog to come and go so easily.
…
After they had evaded the eyes and ears of the police and were far away from the slums, and had come to a wilderness covered with weeds, Yuan Cixian was able to speak without worry. She squatted down and taught Xiao Hei, who had just caused her trouble, a lesson: "Hei, you should lose some weight, you know? I'll tell my brother to reduce the amount of meat you eat by two taels per meal!"
Xiao Hei made a bitter face and uttered “Woo”.
Lu Shiqing in front heard the sound and stopped. She turned around and saw that she had taken off her veil and was grabbing a piece of leather on Xiao Hei's neck. Her eyes were fierce, and her lips, as red as her dress, opened and closed, and she kept muttering: "... I know you mean well, but do you know that you can't step on people's faces? You asked Minister Lu to ruin his appearance. How many young ladies in the capital have to cry and howl day and night? This is a sin, and I won't allow you to do it again!"
A woman who can tame a dog is worthy of respect.
Lu Shiqing looked at her a few more times with respect, his eyes slowly moving down from her fair and delicate neck until he saw the charming scene of "the bright moon shining on the ditch".
The faint moonlight above our heads fell here, making it seem a little more colorful.
A gust of wind blew by, and the creepers on the field rustled and swayed. He suddenly felt like looking up at the sky.
The moon is bright, the stars are sparse, and the Milky Way is not visible. It should be a good day tomorrow.
He stood there staring at the moon for a while, but when he didn't see her getting up, he had to take the initiative to ask, "Have you finished your training, County Lady?"
Yuan Cixian's nagging mouth suddenly shut, and he stood up and said, "Okay, okay, that's enough."
He continued to ask: "May I ask why the county lady followed Lu here tonight?"
She paused for a moment, then put on a righteous look and answered, "I didn't follow you. I accidentally noticed that something was wrong with this group of merchants, so I came here on my own. How could I have expected to run into you? By the way, there is a maid with me, I have to go pick her up." After saying that, she turned around and was about to escape.
Lu Shiqing was too lazy to pursue the matter of Hu Bing anymore and shouted at her: "Come back."
Yuan Cixian turned around and saw him frowning, saying, "Don't bother with that. Someone will help her out."
It seems that he really did arrange an insider.
She nodded: "Thank you very much for your help, Minister Lu." After thanking him, she asked, "How are you going to get back?"
Lu Shiqing didn't answer, but turned around and walked to the other side of the road, leading a horse that had been tied there in advance.
Yuan Cixian's eyes lit up immediately: "Can you give me a ride?"
Lu Shiqing didn't say whether it was okay or not. His eyes fell on her overly slipped collar and he asked first, "Where are the county lady's own clothes?"
She didn't know why he asked this question, and after a pause she answered, "It's not here."
"It's curfew. If you wear Uighur clothes, you will be stopped and questioned by the night patrol Jinwu Guards. Then, it will cause trouble for me."
Oh, after going around in circles for so long, you just don’t want to take her back
"What then? Do you have any extra clothes?"
"No." Lu Shiqing pointed at the veil in her hand and said, "Put it on to cover the front of your clothes so that people can't tell that this is a Uighur costume."
"…" You can't see it like this? Maybe you are blind.
Seeing that she was standing there motionless, he said impatiently, "Please don't delay Lu."
It's inexplicable, why is he so fierce? Yuan Cixian curled her lips and put her veil back on. Seeing him sitting high on his horse, he said to her coldly, "Get on the horse."
Look how proud he is!
She endured her anger and moved in front of him, but he turned his horse's head to avoid her: "Behind."
She looked up and said in surprise: "It's safe to sit in the front. If you ask me to go to the back, I will fall." There was no way he would allow her to hug his waist.
After Yuan Cixian finished speaking, she remembered his strange behavior in the box before and asked curiously, "Minister Lu, is there any treasure you hid in front that I can't see?"
"… "
As she asked, she looked suspiciously in front of him, her eyes sweeping back and forth like a broom.
Lu Shiqing had been calm for a long time, and the tent he had erected had already fallen down, but he was still tingling under her gaze, and for a moment he lost his respect for her: "I'll count to three, and if you don't come up, you'll have to ride the dog back by yourself. One, two..."
"No! I'll come up, I'll come up."
Yuan Cihan sat obediently in the back, feeling puzzled. When the horse galloped out and the wind blew, he suddenly had an idea and exclaimed, "Ah!"
Lu Shiqing pulled the reins to rein in the horse, turned back and frowned, "Don't be startled, don't scream until you really fall."
He was about to whip the whip when she cautiously poked his shoulder and asked, "Minister Lu, did you set up the tent just now?"
"… "
What did she say? Was that the tent he understood? Wait, how did she understand that
The concepts about men and women that Lu Shiqing had carefully constructed over the past twenty years collapsed in an instant.
He was completely stunned and hesitated: "... What did you say?"
He hoped that he had heard it wrong. However, Yuan Cixian repeated it clearly.
Now, Lu Shiqing had to face reality.
He kept turning his head to look at her and gritted his teeth and said, "... Yuan Cixian, where did you hear this? Do you have any shame?"
Looking at his reaction, Yuan Cixian knew that she was probably right.
Actually, it's not her fault that she knows too much. It's because she followed her father to the army before and accidentally heard some dirty talk from the men in the barracks. She has a high level of understanding and she understood it accidentally.
Yuan Cixian felt a little aggrieved and asked, "Why am I the one who is shameless? It should be you. Minister Lu, do you like me?"
In Chang'an City, there were indeed so many young ladies who had thrown branches to Lu Shiqing that they could be listed in a hundred family names, but none of them was so direct, so... shameless.
He looked at her as if she were a fairy on earth, and answered with certainty, "No."
Yuan Cixian pulled off her veil and spoke with a hint of accusation: "If you don't like me, why did you set up a tent in front of me? Do you treat everyone like this?"
Just as she finished speaking, a sharp horse neigh was heard in the distance. Looking up, she saw someone in the middle of the road ahead hurriedly reining in his horse. The horse's hoof was raised high and then dropped down, and the rider almost stumbled and fell off.
She recognized him at a glance. It was her brother.
It's over. Did she speak too loudly just now
Yuan Yu came back to his senses from his extreme shock, immediately dismounted, took out the whip and held it tightly in his hand, and walked quickly towards this direction.
Yuan Cixian saw this and quickly got off the horse. Lu Shiqing looked at the brother and sister, sighed, and followed them down.
Yuan Yu had long legs, and he came over in a few angry steps, cursing loudly: "You are worse than a beast, Lu Zishu, what did you do to my sister!"
He raised his hand and whipped the whip before he finished speaking. Yuan Cixian was shocked, his mind went blank, and he stepped in front of Lu Shiqing.
However, when the whip fell with a "snap", she didn't feel any pain at all.
Yuan Cixian was stunned, and then she opened her eyes, which had been closed subconsciously, and saw an arm across her forehead. There was a hideous red mark on the bony hand.
Lu Shiqing caught the whip with his bare hands. However, the horse whip was not a soft whip, and Yuan Yu did not hold back in his rage. Although he caught it, the momentum was stopped, but he could not avoid hurting himself.
Yuan Cixian gulped and swallowed to calm herself down.
She was so scared, she must have been possessed by some ghost or monster, so she came to save the beauty. If she really got hit by this, I'm afraid her heroic looks would never win the hearts of beauties again.
Yuan Yu stared at the two of them, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that Yuan Cixian would take the whip for someone else. By the time he realized what had happened, it was too late to take it back. Fortunately, Lu Shiqing still had some conscience.
He was so stunned that he forgot to stop. Lu Shiqing also held the whip motionless, staring down at Yuan Cixian, whose face was pale.
Yuan Cixian was thinking: It's over, it's over, the future imperial teacher's hand, the future imperial teacher's right hand! This feud is getting bigger!
She looked at the torn back of Lu Shiqing's hand, pulled the whip from the two men's hands, threw it on the ground, and said to Yuan Yu: "Brother, what are you doing!"
Yuan Yu was stunned by her yelling: "I..."
She stepped forward and blocked Lu Shiqing, saying, "A gentleman should use his mouth, not his hands. Brother, you tortured someone without knowing right or wrong! Do you know what Minister Lu will do with this hand in the future?"
Yuan Yu was confused and had no momentum at all: "What are you doing...?"
Lu Shiqing didn't understand either and turned his head to look at her.
In order to save the relationship between the two families that was about to break down, Yuan Cixian flattered him in a serious manner: "Minister Lu is well-read and talented; he is well-versed in history and the present, and knows the past and the future; he is resourceful and has made every possible plan; he has a far-sighted vision and can see far into the distance... This hand of his will help the world in the future! If you whip him with this whip, you will destroy the country and the people of the Great Zhou!"
