The man stared at him intently, Jiang Tangzhou's pants were all backed up, and he didn't avoid it.
He has a pair of slender and fair legs, with extremely thin ankles, as if they could be broken with a gentle pinch, but there are many scars on these legs, which are twisted and knotted, and the flawless beauty is missing. Out of thin air, a little sharpness came out. One snaked up from his ankle and sank into his thigh.
Ting Yu couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "It's a blessing that my grandfather is a man. If he were a woman, if you looked at him like this, I would call my life a hooligan even if I risked my life!"
"Is there a big difference between a man and a woman?" The man raised his brows slightly, and his eyes flashed jokingly: "You girl, you are a very good protector."
"Hmph!" Ting Yu turned sideways, blocking most of the man's sight, and shielding Jiang Tang Zhou in front of her. She also knew that what the man said made sense. After all, the current world is not a world where only men and women can be together. It is not uncommon for two men or two women to be together.
Especially in Hengguo, several generations ago, there were male queens.
Tingyu can only help his master block as much as possible.
Although Jiang Tangzhou couldn't see it, he could feel that eyes wrapped around him like silk - but in Jiang Tangzhou's heart, this person was curious about himself.
After changing into a new pair of trousers, he felt more refreshed, Ting Yu sat aside to make tea, Jiang Tangzhou didn't care about the man, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
From Daqin to Hengguo, you need to cross a desert that is bigger than ten cities—this desert is commonly called the desert of the dead by the people around. After the previous battle kicked off, they have been fighting here for so many years. Countless soldiers died and were buried in this desert of the dead, under the yellow sand. I don’t know how much blood and tears were covered up. Take two steps, A hand of a skeleton can be found, or a skull.
When a gust of wind blows, even bones that have been buried for a hundred years can blow to the surface.
The battle that ended only a month ago buried countless loyal souls. Daqin was defeated, and Hengguo took advantage of the victory to pursue him. Seeing that he was about to enter Daqin's territory outside Mowai, Jiang Tangzhou was pushed out.
It's not that he has much effect, but Hengguo has to pay some price if he wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Both sides are at the end of their battles, but Daqin is worse.
So take a step back at the end. Daqin handed over two cities and handed over a Jiangtang boat.
Jiang Tangzhou didn't make trouble, let alone cry, after receiving the order, he packed up some trivial things, led Ting Yu, and set off with Xie Yi and Xie Xiaojiang.
That night, they rested on the desert of the dead.
The dead man's desert at night faded away from the sweltering heat of the day, and occasionally there was a breeze, lingering with a trace of fishy smell, and the smell of blood that hadn't dissipated all year round lingered at the tip of the nose, and it became tasteless even after eating it in the mouth.
A group of people surrounded Jiang Tangzhou in a circle and guarded it on the outermost layer. Inside, only Xie Yi and Ting Yu accompanied Jiang Tangzhou.
That Xie Yi was a man of few words, he just swallowed his food without knowing the taste, even though he listened to the rain and talked a lot, he couldn't help but cut down some trivial words under such an atmosphere.
All I could hear was the sound of breathing one after another.
After Jiang Tangzhou was full, he was about to get up and go back to the carriage, but he heard the sound of sharp blades piercing the wind behind him, stabbing towards his chest and abdomen.
He dodged subconsciously, and the blade ruthlessly pierced through the bowl-sized thick wood.
Ting Yu stood in front of Jiang Tang Zhou: "Master! Are you alright?"
Jiang Tangzhou shook his head calmly, and said in a low voice, "No problem, who is it?"
"Two people in black night clothes blocked their faces, so they couldn't see their faces," Ting Yu said with a frown, "Master, you go back to the carriage first, and we'll take care of it."
Xie Yi had already raised his sword and rushed forward, Jiang Tangzhou could only see the shadows in front of him. He listened to the voice and debated his position. When he got into the carriage, he was about to draw his sword, but his wrist was pinned down, and a low laugh sounded in his ear : "It's just two unusable sneak attackers, you still want to do it yourself?"
"Are you here to chase you?" Jiang Tangzhou realized.
The man said "huh" and said, "Yes."
A trace of displeasure flashed through Jiang Tangzhou's heart. Although he didn't mind taking the man for a while, but the opponent's enemies came to him, but he was still hiding here to watch the fun, and instead asked his Jiang Tangzhou people to help solve it—— How can you feel refreshed
Jiang Tangzhou shook off his hand, drew the sword and listened to the sound, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, which made the man slightly startled.
It can be seen that Jiang Tangzhou's movements have been practiced, and his martial arts are not low, but for some reason, he has no internal strength, so no matter how good he is, it's just a good move.
The long sword slashed across his face. Although he dodged quickly, he couldn't avoid the shackles of blindness. A bloodstain was left on the blade, and a flaw appeared on his fair face.
The man's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes froze slightly, and the two assassins also followed his direction.
"Tsk." The man rubbed his injured part, frowned, and in the next second, he flew out, and slashed the side of one of the assassins fiercely with the side of his hand.
Almost a one-shot fatality.
He wrapped his hands around the neck of the other person and pressed it to the ground. With a slight twist, the person was killed. With the other hand, he stabbed with the sword, and directly cut the other person's throat with a "shua".
Ting Yu was dumbfounded: "Master, this man... is so amazing..."
The ground was in a mess, and a drop of blood snaked down from the tip of the knife. Before the man got up, a sword was suddenly placed on his neck.
"Who are you?!"
The man stood up innocently, blinked his eyes slightly, and said, "I'm here to help you, don't you see?" He pointed to the two people who died on the ground.
Xie Yi still said with a solemn face: "Tell me, who are you?"
The man sighed and rubbed his chin: "Oh my fault, is this how you treat your savior?"
Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes, and said in a calm tone, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to attract these two people." He paused, but still stretched out a hand to support Xie Yi's wrist, and said, "This man is my friend. , put away the sword."
Xie Yi showed hesitation: "But..."
Although Jiang Tangzhou didn't look at him, his tone had completely cooled down: "What's the matter? Are there any other concerns?"
"My lord, after all, you are going to the capital of Hengguo. If you cause these troubles on the way, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Tangzhou turned his head and looked at him with a calm expression: "Young General Xie, although I didn't hear what the queen mother said to you in private, I just want you to look at me and give me away Going to Hengguo, as for what kind of friends I made on the way, you should have no control."
Xie Yi's face changed slightly.
"Although you are following the queen mother," Jiang Tangzhou laughed lowly, his tone was not threatening, but it made people feel chills inexplicably, "but this king is still the master after all."
"..." Xie Yi finally retracted his sword, lowered his head, "Yes."
Only then did Jiang Tangzhou look at the man—although he couldn't see anything, he could feel that the man's eyes were always on him.
Seems interested.
Jiang Tangzhou said lightly: "Since we are friends, can you tell me your name?"
The man smiled: "My surname is Yin. Yin Wenzheng."
"Master, that Yin man has been looking at you with strange eyes." Ting Yu couldn't sit still, and whispered next to Jiang Tangzhou's ear, "I've been looking at you for a long time, and I've been looking at you like this."
"Just look at it." Jiang Tangzhou poured a cup of tea, his tone was flat, "It's not like cannibalism to look at people, just do whatever he likes."
Yin Wenzheng still looked at him, even after hearing these words.
His upper body was wrapped in a white cloth, and he was naked, revealing his lean belly. He was holding a long flute in one hand, lazily playing with it, playing a tune from time to time, which added a bit of elegance to the long journey. .
If he ignores his eyes that have been staring at Jiang Tangzhou, Jiang Tangzhou feels that he can be more comfortable.
The other party stared at him so that even a blind man could feel it, one can imagine how obvious the staring was.
He stares when he is on the road during the day, and also when he sleeps at night, so his eyes rarely look elsewhere.
After Yin Wenzheng stared like this for three days, even Jiang Tangzhou couldn't take it anymore.
Ting Yu used ointment to smear the scar on his face, Jiang Tangzhou closed his eyes and finally asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chang Xiao in Yin Wenzheng's hand turned around, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Look at this wound on your face."
Jiang Tangzhou was curious: "What's so good about being hurt?"
Yin Wenzheng chuckled twice, and said, "Injury is nothing to look at, but I just think it's a pity that you have this injury on your face."
Jiang Tangzhou: "..."
Yin Wenzheng leaned back, finally closed his eyes, and said jokingly: "You are so big, you are the first man I have ever seen who is so good-looking."
"You—" Ting Yu turned his head and stared at Yin Wenzheng, "The surname is Yin, what do you mean!"
"Hey, it's not enough to boast, and it's not true to not boast. Why are you so difficult to serve, maid?" Yin Wenzheng teased Jiang Tangzhou, "You look like this, no wonder everyone says that the number one beauty in Qin Kingdom is not worthy of the name. .It must have seen your appearance."
Jiang Tangzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "You seem to know Daqin very well."
"Naturally." Yin Wenzheng let out a low laugh, with a smile in his eyes, "I don't just know you Qin Guo very well."
"Oh?" Jiang Tangzhou took a sip of tea, "What else do you know?"
"I..." Yin Wenzheng narrowed his eyes, and looked at Jiang Tangzhou with that meaningful look, "I also know... At the beginning, I kept thinking why Qinguo didn't choose the princess or the prince, but why did he choose the princess? A prince."
The smile on Jiang Tangzhou's face faded a bit: "Why?"
"This is because you seem to be easily bullied." Yin Wenzheng teased, "Secondly... you are so good-looking, if you want to get married, would it be more suitable?"
With a sound of "铛—", the teacup in Ting Yu's hand suddenly fell to the ground, spilling the tea leaves all over the place.
She raised her head with shock in her eyes: "What marriage?"
"Oh? You don't know?" Yin Wenzheng was also taken aback for a moment, then looked at Jiang Tangzhou, and said, "Could it be that Qin Guo is hiding it from you? Don't you know that this time you are sending someone here for a marriage?"
There was a sudden dead silence in the carriage.
Jiang Tangzhou squeezed the teacup in his hand tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged, as if he was deliberately suppressing something.
Yin Wenzheng realized that he seemed to have slipped his tongue, and coughed twice, trying to suppress the embarrassment.
Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes and suddenly asked, "With whom?"
Yin Wenzheng looked away and said, "It should... be the prince."
"Master!" Ting Yu yelled suddenly, "No, you are King Zhen, how can you... I was just thinking, why the group of people looked sneaky and weird, so it was the idea … No, let’s go back now…”
Ting Yu was in disarray, Yin Wenzheng looked at Jiang Tangzhou, but found that the other party had quickly regained his composure after the initial shock.
He rubbed the teacup with his thumb, and lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Ting Yu also realized that Jiang Tangzhou didn't respond: "Master, you won't..."
"You think you can go?" Jiang Tangzhou raised his eyes and said calmly, "We are already within the scope of Hengguo, besides..." Jiang Tangzhou sneered, "Forget it, let's take one step at a time."
"You really are..." Yin Wenzheng looked at Jiang Tangzhou complicatedly, and repeated what he said earlier - "Time is fate, do your best?"
Jiang Tangzhou closed his eyes: "I just don't want to waste my efforts."
Yin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but smiled lightly, rubbed the finger on his thumb lightly, looked at Jiang Tangzhou again, and said in a low voice, "However, I am also looking forward to it..." The meaning is unclear .
