After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

"You didn't encounter an ambush on your way to Zhuozhou?"

"I met someone from the Nalan family." Chu Xi's eyes were deep. Thinking back now, the journey he had taken with the Nalan family was... a close call.

She had always thought that the three million words in the History of the Zhou Dynasty were long-winded enough, and it almost wrote down everything she did every day. Now that she had experienced it herself, she realized...

Three million words are nothing. If we were to go through it according to the standards of the past few days, I'm afraid we would have omitted a lot of steps.

"Nalan?" Zhou Yichen was surprised, and then his eyes quickly swept over the guards at the door. He raised his hand and signaled Chu Xi not to say anything for the time being.

"If you have anything to say, please go in and talk. These herbs will be sent to the dyeing workshop immediately."

The first half of the sentence was addressed to Chu Xi, and the second half was addressed to the guards.

Naturally, the guards did not dare to delay for a moment. As soon as Zhou Yichen gave the order, they immediately followed it.

After watching them leave with more than a dozen carts of medicinal herbs, Chu Xi and Zhou Yichen walked side by side to the study. They had gradually become familiar with each other over the past few days, and Chu Xi was no longer in awe or alienated from Zhou Yichen.

As we get along, we feel a natural familiarity with each other.

Back in the study, the furnishings in the study were slightly changed. All the valuable items in the room were removed, and the desk was filled with folded papers.

There were also letters submitted by surrounding villages. Matters like water control were naturally managed by special officials, and Zhou Yichen did not need to be present in person.

Even if he doesn't need to be there in person, he still can't miss any information he needs to know.

"What do the members of the Nalan clan you met this time look like?" Zhou Yichen hadn't poured tea for a long time. Because of Chu Xi's return, Zhou Yichen specially poured tea for her personally.

The slow and leisurely movements are smooth and pleasing to the eye just by watching.

Chu Xi stared at Zhou Yichen's steps for a while, and remembered that the original owner had also learned it, but the original owner always regarded himself as a man. Although he had some knowledge about the tea ceremony, he was not good at it.

Zhou Yichen is different. He has been patient for many years, has a kind nature, and behaves like a gentleman. Pouring tea requires patience. He has made some achievements in the tea ceremony, which shows that he often makes tea himself in private.

"I didn't see his true face, he was wearing a mask, but when he got close to me, I almost didn't notice it."

Chu Xi skipped the part where she took off her clothes. After all, it was not an honorable thing.

Zhou Yichen was surprised. He poured a cup of tea for Chu Xi and placed it in front of her. "Then his martial arts skills should not be inferior to yours, or even equal to yours."

This is not good news. The Nalan family is already proficient in swordsmanship. If there is someone in their clan who is better than Qi Bai, it means that the Nalan family still has some hidden cards.

"I saw that the man was wearing a blue dragon fang mask." Chu Xi remembered an important point and intuitively felt that this should be useful information.

"Blue dragon fangs." Zhou Yichen was surprised, and his fingers gently stroked the gorgeous clothes, thinking, "If I'm not mistaken, then the person you met should be the eldest son of the Nalan family."

He has an intelligence network under his command and knows a lot about what's going on in the underworld.

"Eldest Young Master? Doesn't he have a name?" Chu Xi suddenly discovered a big problem. In the original novel, Nalan has always been a code name, and even the Eldest Young Master, their names have never been written.

No one knows how many people there are in the Nalan family, and what are their names?

"The Nalan clan has a rule that once you join the clan, your real name will be forgotten and you will be ranked based on when you joined the clan. This eldest son is the current head of the Nalan clan."

Zhou Yichen took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The eldest son is said to be the biological son of the previous head of the Nalan family. He is extremely talented and has entered the ranks of first-class masters."

"That patriarch is not easy to deal with. The Seventh Prince has the help of the Nalan family, making it even more difficult to deal with him." Chu Xi knew that the time period she entered was probably just the beginning.

Therefore, Chu Jiang didn’t know much in his memory, whether it was about the court or the martial arts world.

"In order to kill me, Old Seven has really spent a lot of money this time. In order to ambush you, he sent the Nalan clan to ambush you on the way to Yizhou and Zhuozhou."

Zhou Yichen tapped his fingers lightly, "I'm sorry to have made you suffer this time."

Chu Xi smiled faintly, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then lay back unceremoniously, "I can't say I suffered much, but I am lucky that I met the eldest son of the Nalan family and came back safe and sound."

"By the way, I forgot to ask how you escaped from the hands of the eldest son of the Nalan family? And how did you successfully transport these medicinal herbs back from Zhuozhou?"

"..."

Ha ha ha.

The smile on Chu Xi's lips froze. What should she say? Should she say that she changed back into women's clothes, put on a show in front of the eldest son of the Nalan family, and then got in his carriage and slipped away right under his nose?

Zhou Yichen noticed that there was something wrong with Chu Jiang's smile, and his curiosity grew.

"I was just in disguise, and they didn't recognize me, so I got away with it."

Chu Xi also talked about how he hired the Far East Escort Agency and asked the escorts to deliver the medicinal herbs back.

After saying that, she suddenly remembered...

It seemed that I hadn't paid yet, and a team of escorts from the Far East Escort Agency should still be waiting outside the city.

She hurriedly asked Zhou Yichen for money. Since she didn't bring enough money with her when she came back from Beijing, she could only ask Zhou Yichen to borrow money to fill this hole first!

"I'll send someone to deliver the money, so you don't have to move. You've worked hard these three days, so go to bed early." Zhou Yichen stopped Chu Xi who was about to deliver the money himself.

When Chu Xi heard that...she really didn't go. She was really tired. She had worked part-time and studied in the past, but she was never this tired.

Being chased by someone and having to be on guard against sudden ambushes while escaping is too torturous for one's nerves.

She lifted up her robe and was about to get up and leave when she heard the untimely arrival of the task voice of system 484.

[Please follow the plot and sleep with Zhou Yichen tonight. 】

"!"

This system is a bit unorthodox.

"484, tell me honestly, does your system like to ship couples?" Chu Xi asked doubtfully.

484 repeated the words asking Chu Xi to complete the task of sleeping in the same bed with Zhou Yichen.

"How come I didn't know that the task nodes also included this?" The more Chu Xi thought about it, the more he felt that this system was a bit unorthodox.

[The direction of the main plot has its reasons for existence. Please complete it according to the direction of the node plot. 】

Chu Xi resisted the urge to curse. She couldn't curse in front of Zhou Yichen, nor could she lose control of her expression.

Chu Xi, who was feeling a little depressed, spoke directly at the beginning, "Your Highness, I will sleep in your room tonight."

Zhou Yichen almost choked on his tea, "Ahem, ahem, ahem, Qibai, what did you say?"

His surprised look was as if Chu Xi slept with him just to...eat him.

Chu Xi, "..." No, she really didn't mean that.

Although she used to be a fan of their couple, that’s all in the past!
