A middle-aged man carefully opened the wooden door a narrow crack.
He looked at Fu Tingye and then at Hua Qingxue behind Fu Tingye. Without asking anything, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, letting the two of them enter the room.
Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue entered the door one after another.
In front of him was a square yard, with a well in the center, a house in front and on the left hand side, and a small vegetable garden on the right. However, in the cold winter months, the vegetable field was barren.
The middle-aged man gently closed the door, locked the latch, led the two people into the front hall, closed the door and window, then walked to Fu Tingye, saluted, and whispered: "I see you, general."
"No need to be polite." Fu Tingye said directly, "This is Miss Hua next to me. The prince ordered me to send her out of the city as soon as possible. However, the Liao soldiers have returned to guard the city now. It will not be easy to get out of the city."
The other party nodded in agreement and replied: "General, please rest for the night with Miss Hua. I will go to the city gate to explore the situation tomorrow morning."
Fu Tingye said in a deep voice: "Proceed with caution."
"Yes, I understand." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he bowed again, turned around and exited the door.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but asked: "It's so late, where is he going? There is a curfew in Renqiu City, and you are not allowed to go out at night."
"Don't worry about him." Fu Tingye looked at Hua Qingxue and said in a straightforward tone without any emotion, "Miss Hua Hua will stay here for the time being. I will take you out of the city as soon as possible."
His eyes were slightly cold, and Hua Qingxue felt that she seemed to be talking too much...
This General, doesn't seem to like being asked questions? ... She thought to herself, maybe all those who lead troops in war are like this? I'm used to giving orders, so naturally I don't like the people under my command asking too many questions.
"No grievance, I'm sorry to bother General." Hua Qingxue said honestly.
"Follow me." Fu Tingye turned around and walked inside.
Hua Qingxue lowered her head and followed behind.
Behind the main room is the master's wing. As soon as he entered, he felt unusually warm. Looking at the long kang head, Hua Qingxue was suddenly pleasantly surprised!
This house is on fire!
She glanced at Fu Tingye with some embarrassment, wanting to ask if she would sleep here tonight, but thinking of his indifference just now, she had to suppress her mood and wait patiently for Fu Tingye's arrangements.
Fu Tingye put the two benches together in the wing and said calmly: "It's an emergency. I hope Miss Hua will understand. I'll rest here tonight."
"Huh?..." Hua Qingxue blurted out in surprise, "Don't you want to sleep on the kang?"
Instead of sleeping on a warm kang, sleep on a hard bench
Fu Tingye was stunned. He put down the bench, raised his head, and looked at Hua Qingxue with his deep eyes, without saying anything for a moment.
Hua Qingxue felt terrified by Fu Tingye's gaze. She really couldn't figure out where she went wrong. She smiled and whispered: "... General, take a rest earlier..."
After that, she avoided his eyes and walked silently to the kang with her head lowered.
The room was eerily quiet.
Fu Tingye stared at Hua Qingxue's back for a while without saying anything. He strode to the closet and took out a quilt, feeling a little strange.
-Why does this woman have no awareness of the defense between men and women? He casually invited him to sit on the kang together? !
It was already very inappropriate for the two of them to be in the same room at this time, let alone sleep on the same kang at night!
Could it be that...she wants to commit herself to him
Fu Tingye's face became even more ugly when he thought about this.
This kind of thing happens from time to time. Some women who have been displaced during wars will offer their lives to repay their kindness because they have been rescued by soldiers. Some women, in order to have someone to rely on, will also take the initiative to sacrifice themselves for the soldiers stationed in the camp. .
If Hua Qingxue wanted to leave the city now, she could only rely on him, and since she knew that he was a general, it was not impossible for her to have the idea of seducing...
To seduce...
Fu Tingye glanced at her calmly.
Hua Qingxue was bending over, spreading out the quilt on the kang. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if... she was smiling
Her eyes were clear and bright. Fu Tingye really couldn't connect her with that kind of woman who specialized in charming things. Maybe... he had misunderstood
Hua Qingxue had no idea what Fu Tingye was thinking. She was intoxicated by this rare hot bed.
I kicked off my shoes, climbed onto the kang, and got into bed. I suddenly felt that happiness is sometimes so simple.
She and Li Jingnan slept in a drafty room for almost a month. Every time before going to bed, when they first climbed into bed, it felt like they were being tortured! Because their beds are always cold! The quilt was so thin, and now she could suddenly sleep so warmly. Hua Qingxue truly felt that she was almost bubbling with happiness.
It's just that... such a big kang is only for myself...
Hua Qingxue glanced at the other end of the kang, which was very far away from her.
At least five or six people could sleep on this kang. If she slept on one end and Fu Tingye slept on the other end, there would still be two or three meters between them, so she really didn't understand what Fu Tingye had to worry about.
Sleeping on a cold bench in the middle of winter, isn't this making fun of your body
Hua Qingxue wanted to give some advice, but thinking of Fu Tingye's serious look just now, she didn't dare...
Forget it, it’s better not to disobey the General!
After Hua Qingxue finished her psychological work, she stopped thinking about it and reached out to untie her clothes.
"What are you doing?!" Fu Tingye suddenly shouted!
Hua Qingxue was startled, and her whole body trembled!
She looked at Fu Tingye with a confused face, wondering what she had done wrong...
It wasn't until she saw that Fu Tingye's eyes were firmly locked on her hand that was holding the loosened skirt of her clothes that Hua Qingxue finally understood, but... she wasn't wearing no clothes underneath!
The undershirt has long sleeves and a narrow collar, exposing the neck at most. Is it necessary to react so excitedly...
Hua Qingxue was about to cry, "General, I can't sleep with my coat on..."
Before he finished speaking, the room suddenly became dark.
It was Fu Tingye who blew out the candles on the table.
"Go to sleep." He said in a stiff voice.
Hua Qingxue sat stiffly on the kang, unable to tell whether Fu Tingye was more angry or embarrassed...
She waited uneasily for a while, but when she saw no movement from Fu Tingye, she took off the outer layers of clothes and silently shrank into the warm quilt...
Fu Tingye's uncertainty made Hua Qingxue always feel at a loss, afraid that she would say or do something wrong...
She couldn't help but miss Li Jingnan.
…
Today, after experiencing the search by the Liao soldiers, the embarrassment of the neighbors, and the shock and fright, Hua Qingxue was extremely tired. Lying on the kang, she was still comparing the differences between Li Jingnan and Fu Tingye at first, thinking about it, and fell asleep without realizing it.
In the darkness, Fu Tingye heard the woman's breathing gradually becoming smoother and longer, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Women are really troublesome.
She dared to take off her clothes in front of him. I don't know where she got the courage!
Fu Tingye was a little distracted, thinking that he would send her out of the city as soon as he got the chance!
He sighed silently and fell asleep.
—This sleep was not restful.
In fact, under the nose of Liao Bing, he really couldn't sleep peacefully, and he would instinctively be alert. What's more, there was a woman in the room "waiting for an opportunity to seduce" him.
Fu Tingye slept until midnight when he was keenly aware of a small sound.
He heard the sound coming from the other side of the kang and knew it was the woman, so he deliberately pretended to be asleep and did not get up, but his ears were always paying attention to her movements.
The woman put on her clothes and got up. She got off the bed and moved slowly with her shoes. Probably because the room was too dark, she accidentally bumped into the table. She inhaled repeatedly in pain, then carefully walked around the table and walked towards the door...
When her finger reached the door bolt, Fu Tingye's voice sounded in the room almost at the same time—
"Where are you going?"
His voice came so suddenly, it seemed particularly terrifying in the silent night! Hua Qingxue was so scared that she almost lost her wits!
"General?!" Hua Qingxue's voice trembled, "I... I got up and wanted to drink some water..."
Fu Tingye's big horse Jin Dao was sitting on the bench. Only a black outline could be faintly seen in the darkness, but it carried an extremely coercive aura!
"There's water in the house," he said.
Hua Qingxue bit her lip, feeling annoyed at her lame excuse!
She stood awkwardly by the door, and she and Fu Tingye were in a stalemate for a while.
After a while, Hua Qingxue finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "I... want to... go out to relieve myself..."
Fu Tingye fell silent and did not speak.
But Hua Qingxue really couldn't wait any longer and said in embarrassment: "General, can you... let me relieve myself..."
Fu Tingye replied in a low voice: "There is no toilet outside, you can use a chamber pot."
After saying that, he stood up, walked to the corner of the kang in a few steps, picked up something like a fat-bellied porcelain pot, and placed it generously in front of Hua Qingxue.
"..." Hua Qingxue was extremely embarrassed.
Through the hazy night, she could see clearly what it was...
Hua Qingxue recognized it because she and Li Jingnan had used this thing to solve their physical problems before when it was too cold at night and they didn't want to go out.
But the problem is...
Li Jingnan is only eight years old...
The man in the room now, although he couldn't tell his age because of his beard, was undoubtedly an adult man!
How did this make her...how...
No time to think too much!
... The feeling became even stronger. Hua Qingxue clamped her legs in embarrassment, feeling that nothing could be worse than now!
If she had a straightforward character, she might have asked Fu Tingye to go out now, but she had a gentle temperament and did not dare to cause trouble. In addition, Fu Tingye had never been kind to her, so Hua Qingxue became a little submissive, and she was even more afraid to offend him...
Hua Qingxue held the chamber pot and hesitated to speak.
If there was light in the room at this moment, you could see that her whole body looked like a cooked shrimp, so red!
Fortunately, Fu Tingye spoke first: "I'll go out first. Call me when you're ready."
"...Well, please general, I..."
Before Hua Qingxue could say anything to express her gratitude, Fu Tingye had already walked out. The response left for her was that the door opened and closed with a click!
Hua Qingxue was the only one left in the room. She looked at the chamber pot in front of her and felt very melancholy for a moment.
