The villain is being forced to whitewash again

Chapter 108 Going to meet an old acquaintance

"What are you doing?" A cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Qin Shi turned his head to see that Mr. Jia's face was ashen, and he was holding a long leaf filled with clear water in his hand. He just stood there. The near-far angle, combined with the gloomy scene around, is like a reappearance in a horror ghost story, and those eyes seem to be bleeding slowly.

Just like the scene of catching rape, Qin Shi said without changing his face, "It's a bit cold, you haven't come back for a long time, I'll cover him with a piece of clothing to protect him from the cold when he's sleepy."

Mr. Jia let out a hum of unknown meaning, walked over and handed out the long leaves filled with clear water in his hand, "It's nothing for you here, take it, go and chop a bamboo to make a simple version of the water-filled bamboo tube, we will return it tomorrow If you want to hurry and don’t have time to waste time in such small troubles as finding water, don’t complain to me, it’s your good fortune to be able to work for the emperor.”

Were you a bossy character who was happy to whip slaves in your previous life?It’s true that I have a good temper and can order me around at will. Qin Shi is not very satisfied with his attitude. Compared with this, Hu Ziqian’s treacherous image has become much taller, but at this moment what they have experienced is extraordinary, forget it , let's pretend nothing happened, and wait until the situation stabilizes before deciding to break up.

Taking the long leaf in Mr. Jia’s hand, he planned to find a bumpy stone and put it down. There are also a few bamboos around, but he had to search carefully for a while before he found it. When he glanced over, he saw a suitable one without any difficulty. The angle of the concave and convex is just right, squatting down, and carefully placing the long leaves, when suddenly he heard Mr. Jia behind him speak coldly.

"What exactly do you want?"

Qin Shi's movements paused, and he got up from the ground after a while, patted the mud stains on the hem of his clothes, a little stuck to his fingertips, kneaded and turned into dry particles, "I don't understand you at all. mean."

"Don't understand? You're just pretending not to understand." Mr. Jia stood in the shadow of the fire, with an indescribably friendly expression on the corner of his mouth, "The dagger you are carrying is an ordinary one. You can use it so easily. A crowbar made of pig iron with a dagger will fall to the ground like soft petals, can ordinary people do this? Although I am old, it does not mean that my brain is full of water."

Qin Shi finally turned around, and the subtle expressions on his face could be clearly seen under the light of the fire next to him. It was transparent enough that there was no angle that could be quietly concealed. What choice to make?"

"Admit it so quickly? Sure enough, I can't wait to run away." Director Jia mocked.

Qin Shiqing said calmly: "Isn't this exactly what you expected in your heart? I'm just telling the truth."

Manager Jia said coldly: "Of course I won't let a suspicious person hover around, but the current situation forces me to do so even if I don't want to."

Qin Shi directly came to the conclusion, "In short, I'm still useful to you at this moment, it's a pity to discard it, and it's tasteless to eat, right?"

"It's your duty to do things for us, don't get carried away, and think how important you are from now on." Mr. Jia couldn't refute this summary, but he didn't want to admit the fact that they really needed Qin Shi, so he prepared to make arrangements in a sneer Get off your horse.

Qin Shi crossed his arms in front of his chest and tilted his head, "That's because you think I'm not so idle. If this incident hadn't happened, no one would continue to meet each other. I just want to After it's over, don't keep in touch if you live yours, and I live mine. As for getting carried away, it seems to be the most inappropriate description to compare you and me to me."

"A mere rascal, how dare you act presumptuously in front of me!" Manager Jia exploded in an instant, gritted his teeth.

"I didn't plan to say it at first, but since I want to continue walking, it's better to tell some things earlier." Qin Shi spread out a hand to weigh it, "If you want something from someone, you should have a better attitude, right?"

"I'm laughing to death, what right do you have to say that." Mr. Jia said with a sarcasm.

Qin Shi said lightly: "I really don't have any qualifications, but at the same time, I don't owe you anything, I can just leave if I want to. To put it bluntly, it's just a good intention to help, so why do you ask me proudly?" What does this require?"

Manager Jia wanted to curse, "You...!"

"I don't want to make my words too harsh. You are much older than anyone else, and you need to respect the old and love the young, but..." Qin Shi directly interrupted his words that hadn't been combined, which was visible to the naked eye. His attitude cooled down, and he, keenly feeling the pressure, couldn't help subconsciously shutting his mouth, watching Qin Shi throw out the dagger that he carried with him, it was extremely sharp, like ice.

"People's patience has a limit. I don't have to cooperate with such impolite behavior. In the worst case, even if I use this dagger to kill everyone present at this time, no one will know how to hold it. Who is the person who is sacred, of course, I am just talking casually, but whether it will happen, you can think about it for yourself."

Under the orange firelight, the dagger disappeared in an instant. It was like dew in the morning in less than a few seconds, but the coldness that emanated made Mr. Jia's heart and lungs almost stagnate. When the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, he Uncontrollably, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground. If there were no stones beside him for support, he might have already collapsed.

...It's so scary, this person's coercion is so strong, it is impossible to hide it deeply in the body without murder and arson, how could they meet such an extraordinary guy!He touched his mouth unconsciously, and the collision of thoughts in his mind seemed to be overwhelming.

He inadvertently caught a glimpse of a humanoid body lying on his side and sleeping on the grass. It was not early at the moment, and they had to continue their journey the next day. He was too old to bear such fatigue, so he had to take a rest early.

He picked up some firewood scattered around and threw it into the slowly burning fire. The sparks danced wildly. He found a place not far from the emperor and lay down without taking off his clothes. He turned over and closed his eyes slowly, feeling uneasy. Now, he lingered and never left, but as the crackling and burning flames in front of his eyes became more and more dim, his thoughts were also lightly blurred, and the real darkness enveloped him without a trace.

-

The cool touch was very obvious on his face, he opened his eyes in shock, and suddenly got up from the ground, the old waist almost broke in half, turned his head, and the emperor who was holding a handkerchief half-raised his hands.

"This is you?"

The emperor subconsciously put the handkerchief behind him, and said with a little embarrassment: "I saw that there was a small piece of dirt on my face, but you didn't wake up when you were fast asleep, so I want to lighten your face with a wet handkerchief. Gently rubbing it off woke you up, if I had known it would not have been unnecessary, I would have slept a little longer."

Director Jia hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, the emperor is so concerned, it's too late for the slave to be grateful, and the slave should have gotten up before you to make preparations, today is dereliction of duty."

The emperor shook his head, "I can't blame you for this matter. I always want to keep up but can't keep up when I'm old. It's the limit to be able to persist like this. Don't do the carriage yourself today. Take a good rest. .”

Manager Jia nodded, and with a few words, this little embarrassment was disintegrated, allowing the emperor to have a step to come down. After all, he is a fine person who has stayed in the palace for a long time, and can behave decently even if he is flattering. He took the emperor and handed it over. Simply wipe the handkerchief on the face, and the handkerchief soaked in water feels soft to the touch. The effect on the chaotic mind is comparable to hitting the head with a stone, and it is much clearer all of a sudden.

Suddenly remembered something, he looked left and right, but he couldn't see anyone other than the two of them. Did this suspicious guy sneak away last night?

Probably seeing what he was thinking, the emperor went on to say: "Brother Li went to fetch water from the stream. He cut a lot of bamboo last night and made several simple bamboo tubes, which are enough for us to drink and use in three days. I think he should be back soon."

"He really did it?" Director Jia couldn't help being a little surprised.

As if aware of something he missed, the emperor asked seriously: "Actually, I really want to talk to you about this matter, but I was too anxious and chaotic before and couldn't find the right time. Now we just happen to be left Two, Manager Jia, I want to know, have you been targeting Brother Li?"

He immediately lied and denied without drafting, his face full of integrity and selflessness as if he had never thought about it before, "Why do you think of a slave like this, there is absolutely no such thing."

"Really?" The emperor said dubiously, "But why do I feel that the atmosphere between you is always weird? Although he didn't say it clearly, sometimes it seems that he is avoiding more contact with you, and he doesn't even want to have a conversation. If you want to talk about related words, harmonious coexistence is not such a model at all, did you really not provoke him?"

"Your Majesty, does this slave seem so untrustworthy? The most urgent thing is to find someone who can support us. How can a slave have the time to waste on these trivial chores?"

While talking, he sighed with a sad face, but what is confusing is that the emperor is obviously trustworthy, but he still keeps his mouth tightly shut, and the news about Qin Shi's problems is not leaking at all It was as if a needle had been pierced through the thread and it was sewn firmly.

Although I still don't believe it, but after getting along for such a long time, the emperor knows that breaking the casserole and asking the truth is not suitable for Mr. Jia. Maybe it's because he can't understand that there is an extra oil bottle around him, so he has no choice but to Reluctantly said: "Don't go too far, the prime minister's life and death are unknown now, I don't want the people around me to suffer any harm, whether it's you or him."

Manager Jia frowned, "Are you... are you concerned about him?"

Choking on the words, a thin blush subconsciously floated on his cheeks, the emperor turned his head away uh uh ah ah ah ah, not daring to look directly into his probing eyes, "Is there... is there?"

"Actually, I'm also a little concerned, Your Majesty, when you went to get water alone last night, what did you talk to that person about?" He asked gently, pretending to be absent-minded.

The emperor replied unnaturally, "No, what we're talking about is just some small hobbies like eating and drinking flowers and plants, that's all, nothing important."

"Really..." he said thoughtfully.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, the emperor covered his mouth and coughed in a timely manner, "The sun is very strong, I feel a little dizzy..."

"Sun?" He looked up, "but today is cloudy."

"Well, anyway... It's just that I don't feel well, I'll go to the carriage to rest for a while." Embarrassed, the emperor found a bad excuse and hurried away.

He asked, "Do you need servants to serve you?"

The emperor immediately dismissed it without thinking, "No need! I think it will be fine to stay alone for a while."

After finishing speaking, he didn't even have the guts to take a look, and ran away like a frightened rabbit. Mr. Jia stared blankly at the gloomy sky above his head where there was no trace of sunlight leaking, until there was a small voice slowly approaching behind him, Turning his head to look, Qin Shi came over with a rope, on which were tied several heavy bamboo tubes, filled with water and shaken to look very heavy.

"Are you finally awake?" Seeing him looking down at him, Qin Shi said in a neutral tone.

Mr. Jia came over, and without thinking of himself as an outsider, he pulled out the dagger stuck in his waist, cut a rope tied with a bamboo tube, just caught the bamboo tube that fell from mid-air, opened it, and the water inside was clear and cool It is cool, and it smells like it also has the sweet fragrance of licorice.

Glancing inside, he smiled with an inexplicable weirdness, "It's quite caring."

"Would you like me to have a sip for you to see?" Qin Shibo replied calmly.

He didn't continue this yin and yang way of speaking, he put it back on and threw it back. Fortunately, he didn't throw it or throw it, otherwise the water in the bamboo tube would be used to irrigate the mother earth.

"I don't have the strength to control the carriage today. You drive, and go wherever I say, don't take the opportunity to play tricks."

Qin Shi asked, "Where are you planning to go next?"

Manager Jia lazily replied, "You don't even know."

...You mean you didn't say anything, Qin Shi really wanted to roll his eyes to the sky, "Then you can figure it out, my arm is not good either."

"You really have a lot of things to do. Forget it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you. Let's go to the Beigong palace to meet the princess. There is the emperor's niece—— Beigongchen. Maybe we can let her help."

Qin Shi's expression distorted in an instant, and the word shock was written in his eyes, "Bei Gongchen?!"

Manager Jia looked suspicious, "You know him?"

"No... I don't know you." Qin Shi reluctantly said with an ugly face, but he knelt down in grief in his heart. After a few months, he had to see more than one old acquaintance again. God, why don't you play with me like this?
