Wu Gui, who was rejected by the ugly, struggled tenaciously several times, and finally completely despaired under Chu Xiao's ruthless rejections.

Thinking that he might become a eunuch after returning this trip, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But it was a blessing in disguise, his pitiful appearance made Situ Jing a little worried, not only did not take the opportunity to bully him again, but also comforted him several times in a kind voice, which made Wu Gui deeply feel the pain and happiness. Son.

Chu Xiao: "..."

In fact, Chu Xiao didn't really intend to see Wu Gui suffer, but just wanted to hang him out for a few days, so that he could remember well.

Originally, Chu Xiao planned to let him go, but when he saw this guy, he was still in the mood to take the opportunity to win the sympathy of his sweetheart?Sorry, Chu Xiao said, he changed his mind again.

Want to play a trick?Perfect for you.

You're welcome.

Parting will come eventually, no matter how reluctant Chu Xiao is, when this moment comes, he can only deal with it as calmly as possible. He said goodbye to Ye Gucheng with a smile, and told Ye Gucheng not to delay because of being busy. After eating and resting, he smiled and put a stamp on Ye Gucheng's face.

"mine."

"……Um."

"If a little girl expresses her love to you during the holidays, you must immediately refuse to know, don't hesitate at all, or I will be angry when I turn around!" Zhu Xiao bared her teeth and put on a look of me I'm stingy and I look fierce.

Ye Gucheng's half-closed eyes were full of tenderness, he lowered his head and kissed Chu Xiao back, and said, "Except for you, I will never treat anyone like this again."

The only accident in his life was this one person.

Chu Xiao... Chu Xiao took a deep breath, raised his hand and gave Ye Gucheng a big hug, and then, without waiting for a response, let go of his hand and turned around: "Then I'll go first, you don't have to miss me too much , anyway, I'll go find you after the new year."

As he spoke, he walked quickly towards the other boat parked by the pier without stopping or looking back.

Ye Gucheng stood on the spot and watched him go, a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

Hou Zai's several attendants of Baiyun City not far away showed shocking expressions.

I always feel... the City Lord is quite different from before.In the past, it was almost difficult for them to see the slightest mood swings on the face of the city lord, and it was the first time in their lives that such an obvious smile was present.

Mr. Zhu is really a god-man.

Wu Gui and the others tactfully did not disturb Chu Xiao and Ye Gucheng's farewell, but stood on the boat watching from a distance. After Chu Xiao strode onto the boat, Wu Gui and Situ Jing greeted him first.

They knew that Chu Xiao was probably feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, and wanted to comfort him.

But after a dozen face-to-face meetings, Wu Gui's greeting got stuck in his throat before he could say it.

Chu Xiao couldn't see any sadness on his face, and his expression looked quite calm, but his eyes were a little red, which was not obvious, and he couldn't even see it if he didn't look carefully...

Wu Gui couldn't help but sighed.

He never underestimated his master's concern for Ye Gucheng, and he never thought that the actual situation was more 'serious' than he expected.

Really just like it?Since the age of seven, his master, who has never had red eyes even when the cold poison attacks, really just likes Ye Gucheng?To some extent, Wu Gui, who even knew him better than Chu Xiao himself, felt a little suspicious.

But he never thought about asking Chu Xiao for verification.

Perhaps, it was because he already had the answer in his heart.

Situ Jing tugged at Wu Gui's sleeve a little at a loss. Seeing Chu Xiao's appearance, the little girl was really terrified, her head went blank, and she didn't know what to do.

Wu Gui shook his head at her: "It's okay, let's go back first, and let the master stay alone for a while."

At this time, it is useless for others to say anything.

Rather than disturbing Chu Xiao's cleanliness by staying here, Wu Gui felt that it would be better to leave some space for him.

It was just a short separation, and with his master's disposition, it shouldn't take long for him to adjust his emotions.

……

Chu Xiao did adjust his emotions quickly. At least, in the eyes of Wu Gui and others, when Chu Xiao reappeared in front of their eyes, Chu Xiao only talked a little less than when Ye Gucheng was there, and he still smiled when he should laugh very cheerful.

He was about to return to Beijing soon, and Chu Xiao belatedly remembered that he hadn't 'confessed' his identity to Situ Jing yet.

Between continuing to keep a secret and giving the little girl a surprise, and telling the little girl in advance so that she can be mentally prepared, Chu Xiao considered it very seriously, and finally chose the latter.

Because he was afraid that the surprise would turn into shock.

The boat was arranged by Wugui in advance, and everyone on and off was his own, so Chu Xiao didn't deliberately find time to have a secret talk with Situ Jing alone, he was just very casual, when everyone had just finished dinner and was still there, brought it up.

"Let me introduce again. My surname is Chu. I'm not Zhu Sha's Zhu, but the Chu who gave me money."

Situ Jing and Yidianhong, who had no prior knowledge of Chu Xiao's true identity: ... so?

No wonder they didn't realize right away that although Chu was the surname of the royal family, as people in the Jianghu, they didn't pay much attention to the court—they didn't even know that the emperor's surname was Chu.

No exaggeration.

Because like them, there are too many people in the world who don't know the emperor's surname.

Chu Xiao's words just made them mistakenly think that Chu Xiao was like many people in the Jianghu before. In order to make it easier to travel in the Jianghu and avoid involving his family, he changed his name to Zhu Xiao.

There is nothing wrong with this logic.

It is very common to use a pseudonym when walking in the rivers and lakes.

So... A little red and Situ Jing just didn't respond. After all, what they both looked for was Chu Xiao himself, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with his identity?

Chu Xiao was in a delicate mood, and suddenly didn't want to continue talking.

In the minds of people in Jianghu, their old Chu family might not have a more sense of existence than a slightly famous Jiangyang thief?

Master Sun endured and endured, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and the corners of his mouth furtively curled up. Of course, before anyone else found out, he had already pushed back the corners of his mouth, "Then what, master, why don't I come?" Tell me for you?"

Well, it's a pretty good opportunity to perform, and Master Sun thinks he should seize it.

Chu Xiao: "...All right."

Anyone can say it, anyway, he doesn't want to say it (tired feeling does not love.jpg

Master Sun cleared his throat, and his habitually hunched back rarely straightened up. After Didianhong and Situ Jing both looked over, he said with a very solemn expression, "Chu is the surname of the royal family, except for the royal family members. No one is available."

"Nowadays, the only people with this surname, except today and his younger brother, are the lineage of King Nan and King Taiping—"

Maybe it was because he was used to the intelligence business, or maybe it was to show off in front of these two ignorant young people, Master Sun confiscated him for a while, and then turned to the field of "common sense popularization".

Before he could turn the topic back, Situ Jing, who seemed to have misunderstood, interrupted his unfinished explanation.

Situ Jing: "So little brother, you can't be the prince of Taiping, right?!"

The little girl looked surprised, and her eyes involuntarily turned around Chu Xiao a few times, as if she wanted to see some characteristics that a member of the royal family should have from him, but the more she looked at the expression, the more confused she became. Apart from being handsome and temperamental, Chu Xiao doesn't seem to have anything more special about him?

A little red is about the same.

And more restrained than Situ Jing.

Prince Taiping?That idiot who has been missing for many years and is suspected to be Gong Jiu—what the hell is the apprentice of the owner of the nameless island?The corner of Chu Xiao's mouth twitched, he really wanted to roll the little girl's eyes.

"No, no, no, no." Realizing that the direction of the situation was a bit strange, Master Sun hurriedly remedied: "Oh, where are you going, can't young people be more patient and listen to me? Master, he is today His own brother! It’s the young prince! Not the prince!”

scare!

Situ Jing opened her mouth and took a deep breath, then hiccupped because of choking.

The little brother turned out to be a prince?

Damn, then didn't she almost recognize a prince as her brother-in-law, and almost become a princess? !

A little red suddenly realized: No wonder Chu Xiao said that exterminating a killer organization was as easy as trampling an ant to death, because it was indeed very simple... Well, he thought that Chu Xiao said that just to reassure him.

Seeing Situ Jing and Dianhong's startled and stunned reactions, Chu Xiao felt that he had calmed down already.

He silently raised his hand and patted Wugui's shoulder, motioning him to be responsible for the next question, then stood up, and left the room with an eerie atmosphere with inexplicably heavy steps.

At the end of November, Chu Xiao and his party finally arrived in the capital.

But at this time, after receiving the news in advance, Emperor Qing, who had been sending people to the gate of the city to watch every day for the past few days, suddenly felt something, and stopped in the process of reviewing the memorial.

"emperor?"

The servant Wang An took a few steps forward, and asked softly, seemingly in doubt, "Are you tired? Do you want a slave to rub your shoulders?"

Emperor Qing came back to his senses, glanced at Wang An indistinctly, and took in all the small movements of the other party secretly looking at the content of the memorial, "No need." He put down the royal brush, and folded the memorial with a very natural movement.

"Xu Shi has been sitting for a long time, and I feel a little stuffy in my chest, so why don't you follow me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

"Yes, the slave will go and arrange followers."

Wang An, who only glanced roughly at the beginning, was a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to keep his eyes on the memorial.

He took a few steps back, slapped a thousand children respectfully, then bowed his waist and exited the imperial study room.

"Ugh……"

After Wang An had completely walked away, Emperor Qing let out a complicated sigh.

When the first emperor was around, he always said that he knew how to control people's hearts better than Xiao Xiao, but Emperor Qing always felt that this was just a word of comfort. What about the others?

The author has something to say: Chu Xiao: No, father didn’t lie, it’s just that brother you are not as lucky as me (gloating.jpg
