There were two outer garments, one was missing sleeves and had a torn front, and the other was missing a hem and a collar.
What use does he have for these two piles of rags!
Lu Shiqing was so angry that he wanted to drag the culprit who was sleeping soundly, but when he looked down, he was stunned.
Yuan Cixian had been in the rain longer than him, and her inner clothes were soaked. She was busy drying her outer clothes just now, but her body was not dry at all. At this moment, the thin white shirt was still clinging to her torso, making her slender waist look particularly delicate and graceful, and even faintly showing her jade-white skin.
This time was different from the last time in the bathtub. At that time, she wore the servant's coarse cloth clothes, which were loose and thick, and could not be seen even when wet. But now, she was really exposed. Fortunately, she knew that her appearance could easily cause trouble, so she wore men's clothes and wrapped her chest when she went out. Otherwise, the scene at this moment might be more "eye-catching".
But even so, sparks were already flying in Lu Shiqing's head.
He glanced away, took three deep breaths, calmed himself down for a while, and called her.
Yuan Cixian didn't agree.
He stood there hesitating for a long time, finally sighed, picked up two piles of rags on the ground, which perhaps could no longer be called clothes, thought for a while, found a place that looked cleaner, tore off a piece of cloth, covered his eyes, tied a knot behind his head, and then stripped off her wet underwear.
Lu Shiqing tried his best to avoid touching her skin. When he took off her white shirt with his eyes covered, his back was already sweating from nervousness. He really couldn't bring himself to remove the remaining chest wrap, so he had to leave it alone for the time being.
He let out a sigh, took off her futon, loosened her hair, fumbled around for a while, picked up her outer dress that had a section burned, and used the slightly cleaner lining to wipe her hair.
Her hair had to be dried, otherwise when she woke up she would have a headache even if she didn't catch a cold.
Lu Shiqing moved very carefully, fearing that he should not touch anything, but unexpectedly, his overly gentle wiping and care made Yuan Cihan so comfortable that the girl seemed to be aware of something in her sleep. She actually tilted her head and rubbed his hand with her face as if he were her mother.
“…” This job can’t be done.
With her eyes covered, the cool and smooth touch of her skin was so clear that it made her feel anxious. Lu Shiqing held his breath and concentrated, and when he felt that it was almost done, he hurriedly prepared to cover her with his outer garment.
In order to cover it accurately, he had to test the position with the cloth, and unexpectedly he felt an uneven spot on her waist, like a scar.
His hands froze and frowned, wanting to find out what was going on. After hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Yuan Cixian, the snake is coming."
Yuan Cixian didn't move.
Very good, it seems that he will never wake up.
He then removed the cloth that was used to pad his hand and gently touched it, and discovered that the scar was mostly on the lower back. It was three inches long and almost hideous. The wound must have been very deep.
He was startled, remembering what she said the night he went to the Yuan family for a banquet as Xu Shan.
She certainly wasn't lying.
All of his strange and romantic thoughts disappeared instantly, as if a basin of water had been poured from head to toe, and his heart went cold. He stood up, grasped her underwear, and tried hard to warm himself by the fire.
*
The straw bedding was uncomfortable and there were continuous thunders outside. Yuan Cihan didn't sleep for long. When she woke up and looked down, she was stunned for a few seconds. She covered herself tightly with the tattered clothes, rolled over and crawled to sit up. She saw Lu Shiqing sitting by the fire with his back to her, roasting her underwear.
She was dumbfounded: "Lu...Lu..." She tried for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.
When Lu Shiqing heard that she woke up, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Seeing that the clothes were almost dry, he could have kept his merit and fame hidden, but now he was in trouble.
Without looking back, he threw her underwear back, hitting her head just in time: "Put it on."
"No, wait..." Yuan Cixian grabbed the clothes and thought about it. She was so shocked that she stopped using the honorific. "You took it off for me?"
"No." He said very confidently, "I helped you take it off."
Does “…” make any difference
Of course they are different. "Helping" is kind, "giving" is beastly, there is a world of difference between the two. He still had his back to her, picked up a piece of cloth at hand, indicating that he had just done it with his eyes blindfolded.
Yuan Cixian was speechless for a moment. He looked down at himself with a sad face, then raised his eyes to look at his back which seemed very upright. Just when he was about to say something else, he suddenly heard the sound of "clacking" horses' hooves, which was fast and urgent, mixed with the sound of mud and water splashing.
She was startled and quickly put on her inner clothes.
Lu Shiqing obviously heard it too. He knew that this post station was conspicuous. If the killer from the other side came, there was no way he would give up the investigation. So he did not plan to hide. He asked very quickly: "Who is the other party? What do they want? Do you have any clue?"
He had wanted to ask her these things a long time ago, but seeing that she was so tired, he put it off until now.
Yuan Cixian picked out the most important information and replied: "I don't know their exact identities, but their master is in the team. They should want to capture me alive, not kill me."
"Stay here and don't move."
Lu Shiqing left this instruction and walked out. As soon as the door opened, seven or eight killers came riding in. The one leading them was the leader of these killers, whom Yuan Cixian had previously identified.
He got off the horse and saw through the dilapidated doors and windows a man with dishevelled black hair and ragged clothes in the house.
Noticing his gaze, Lu Shiqing moved his feet and blocked the window behind him. Seeing that he was just staring at Yuan Cixian's direction but didn't speak for a long time, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have the leisure to stay here."
Hearing this, the man's gaze finally fell on Lu Shiqing.
Lu Shiqing said with his hands behind his back, "Long before, I sent a message to the governor of Shangzhou with a falcon. Now, the area you are standing on has been completely blocked. Within an incense stick of time, thousands of garrison troops from Lin County will arrive here. If you withdraw quickly, there may be a glimmer of hope."
"Of course, you can also kill me during this incense stick. Unfortunately, I am not a minister of the court, but an imperial envoy of the saint. If I die here, it will not only be Shangzhou that will be blocked. By then, the Shannan East Road, including the Sixteen States, will become a prison, and the capital in the north will also be alarmed. If you are from the Great Zhou, you are the enemy of the saint. If you are not from the Great Zhou," he said with a faint smile, "you are the enemy of the entire Great Zhou."
"There are four seas and counties, billions of territories, and this kingdom. You can step in, but you may not be able to walk out. Lu is here, and the opportunity to challenge the prestige of the Great Zhou and even the national prestige is here. If you want to take her away, you might as well try to kill me first."
The rain gradually stopped, the sky became brighter, and it was quiet all around. Drops of water hanging on the window sill slowly dripped down. His voice, word by word, was clearly transmitted into the room.
Yuan Cixian covered her clothes and stared at his back through the window.
When he finished the last sentence, for a moment, she seemed to have forgotten that this person was the future powerful imperial tutor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She only knew that he was Lu Shiqing.
The leading man stood there motionless and silent. Finally, he looked in the direction of Yuan Cihan, then jumped on his horse, made a "retreat" gesture, and galloped out without leaving a word.
Lu Shiqing pushed the door open as if nothing had happened. Seeing Yuan Cixian staring at him, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
She came back to her senses and shook her head. She felt a little hot for some reason, and smiled to make conversation: "Nothing, I just think you are very imposing." Then she added, "You are also very imposing when you confront others in your underwear, which makes people respect you."
Lu Shiqing's face darkened.
She'd better hope that the other party is from the Great Zhou, otherwise he will be disgraced and expelled from the country and will never forgive her.
Seeing him approaching, Yuan Cixian coughed, wrapped himself more tightly with his torn clothes, and asked, "When did you release the falcon? Will we have reinforcements after one stick of incense?"
He sneered and sat down by the fire: "Where did I get the falcon?"
Yuan Cixian choked. It turned out that he was getting something for nothing.
"Aren't you afraid that they will really kill you?"
He glanced at her and said, "If they didn't care about killing me, they would have done it last night on the river bank. It's just a calculation, you don't have to be too moved." He pointed to the straw bed and said, "You can sleep now."
"Since there are no reinforcements, they may find out they have been deceived and return. I won't sleep any more. The rain has stopped. Let's hurry on."
"Who said there's no help?" He glanced at her. "Don't I have a winged falcon or a two-legged servant?"
Oh, what I mean is that Zhao Shu has already gone to report the news, but he is not as fast as a falcon, so I am afraid that the so-called blockade and support will be a step late.
Seeing that he was sure that the other party would not look back, Yuan Cihan lay down with her back to him and fell asleep again. When she woke up, it was already dusk. She faintly heard chaotic footsteps, as if many people were coming. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Shiqing already dressed neatly, holding a clean robe in his hand, as if he was about to wake her up.
Seeing that she opened her eyes, he handed her the clothes and said, "Change and come out."
Yuan Cixian glanced out the window and saw that the soldiers were all standing with their backs to them obediently, so he dressed himself and pushed the door open to go out.
Lu Shiqing heard the noise behind him, turned his head to look at her, and said, "I have sent a message to your brother to let him know that he is safe, but Shangzhou is blocked, so you can't leave for now, and the troops from the capital can't get here in a short time. I have a mission to do, so I can't stay here with you."
Yuan Cixian curled her lips and said "Oh": "Then go ahead and find me a place to stay..."
He interrupted her before she finished her words: "So you go south with me."
Yuan Cixian was stunned, then delighted. She pulled his arm and said, "Really, Minister Lu?"
The soldiers on all sides shifted their gazes secretly and gave the two of them ambiguous looks.
He coughed, looked down, motioned for her to take her hand away and be careful, then said: "It's just a temporary measure. Once the suspect is arrested, you can go back."
