【Zhou Ye】The King of Luoyang

Ye Xiu covered his face with his hands and yawned.Holding up the chopsticks, Zhou Zekai stared at him with his hands and chopsticks frozen in the air, almost suspecting that he would wake up listless until the next time he went to bed.

His eyes touched the gaps where his delicate fingers were loose, he poked in, and vaguely touched his slightly parted lips. Zhou Zekai was immediately stabbed to the nerves. Where Ye Xiu's lips brushed.

Early in the morning when the shop opened to the street, a woman passed by with a child of about four or five years old. The child looked around and saw Ye Xiu's eyes widen as if he had seen something novel. Turn right frequently, looking at Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu broke off a piece of mille-feuille cake, waved to the child with a smile that made him look a few years younger, and said to Zhou Zekai without looking sideways, "Don't wipe it, I didn't say anything when your stick hurt my thigh .”

Zhou Zekai didn't speak, he tore the dough stick into two pieces with a click, and threw it into the soy milk, as if he was tearing Ye Xiu up.

Jiang Botao drank millet porridge from a bowl, the bowl of porridge was bottomless, and the thick porcelain sea bowl blocked his face.

After breakfast, it was time to go on the road. Jiang Botao and Zhou Zekai made a calculation. The three of them had simple luggage. In order to hurry, it was better to ride a horse instead of a car. As for the car, it was left in a secluded corner, whoever picked it up.

There were only two horses, and it was obvious that Ye Xiu had no share. Ye Xiu didn't object, and picked the one closest to the door, which he thought was more beautiful, and stepped on it.

That horse belonged to Zhou Zekai, and Zhou Zekai soon discovered why Ye Xiu didn't ask for "basic trust between people" this time - because he couldn't ride a horse.

Ye Xiu is tall and has long legs, and the posture of stepping on the horse is very handsome and unrestrained, and he is immediately exposed when he arrives, grabbing the reins with the layman's posture that can be seen at a glance by an insider.

Jiang Botao also got on his horse, looked at him and asked in surprise, "Mr. Ye can't ride a horse?"Pretend?Still want to do something?

Ye Xiu didn't know if he didn't hear it or if he didn't hear it, so he said disapprovingly, "Mr. Ye knows too many crafts, it's not bad."

Zhou Zekai patted the horse's head and fed carrots to make a few kisses with the horse before helping the saddle onto the horse—Ye Xiu's horse.

Ye Xiu didn't know that they could go back to Luoyang by car after entering the Henan border, but Zhou Zekai loves horses like crazy, this time when he came out, he bought this fine horse at the country market by chance, and he was very impressed that the good horse was dusty, and said Everything has to be taken back and circled by oneself.

This can be regarded as helping Ye Xiu indirectly, at least when he calculated Ye Xiu's escape route after Ye Xiu escaped for the first time, he really believed that Ye Xiu could not ride a horse.

Jiang Botao opened the way ahead, waiting for Zhou Ye and the two to coordinate the ride-sharing relationship to catch up.

Zhou Zekai tried to relax Ye Xiu's stiff body, but his hands didn't fit well, so he had to use even more ineffective words, "Don't pull the rope too tight." Pulling again would make the horse lose its temper.

"No, I'm afraid I'll fall. If I don't hold it, it won't hold you." Ye Xiu flinched, and tightened the rein again.

He was sandwiched between the horse's neck and Zhou Zekai, the sun was high, a thin layer of sweat seeped out from under the hair covered by the brim of the hat, it was really hot, they were too close, even the heat from Zhou Zekai's body and the scorching breath when he spoke were blowing towards him. Drilled in his skin and orifices.

It could be closer, it could be hotter.

Zhou Zekai rubbed against the saddle, sat forward, and his body was completely pressed against Ye Xiu's back. Ye Xiu suddenly felt that he was wearing Zhou Zekai on his body, as if he was wearing an animal fur coat in the summer.

"I can't get it." Zhou Zekai said, puncturing Ye Xiu's delusion.

But I can hold you.His arms passed under Ye Xiu's ribs warmly, regaining the control of the rein, and his waist straightened, causing Ye Xiu's waist to straighten as well, rubbing against him.

Then Zhou Zekai pushed away Ye Xiu's obstructing legs, found the stirrup, clamped the horse's belly, and drove the horse away.

Speeding up the horse and riding a familiar road, the three of them rushed to the outside of Luoyang City in the evening.Under Zhou Zekai's rule, Luoyang enjoys the peace that a city in the hinterland should have, and there is no curfew at night.

The two horses entered the city from Changxia Gate and galloped along the South Street to the Zhou Mansion.This road is full of buying and selling shops, during the day there is a constant flow of people, and at night there are few pedestrians. Although it is a bit of a detour to go to Zhou Mansion, it is in line with Zhou Zekai's low-key travel to hide the public's eyes.

It's a pity that Ye Xiu didn't follow his wish and demolished him.

Ye Xiu shook Zhou Zekai's chest all the way, he couldn't eat any cigarettes, his old body after retirement couldn't help it, and almost fell apart. After entering the city, the horse ran gently, and he almost fell asleep again.Suddenly he cheered up and bumped Zhou Zekai with his elbow, "Wait a minute, I have something to do."

Zhou Zekai didn't know why Ye Xiu had to wait. In fact, he didn't need to listen to Ye Xiu, but the action of stopping the horse's rein was done inadvertently.He stopped, and Jiang Botao also stopped.

The place where the three of them stopped was facing the front of a shop. This shop closed late, and the surrounding shops were all closed, so the dressed-up owner brought two clerks to take off the sign and seal the door.

Ye Xiu reckoned that Zhou Zekai would not let him dismount, so he stopped, and shouted across half of the cobbled road, "Boss Jiang!" It was as if he was calling someone who was busy outside that shop.His voice was lazy, just loud enough to pass through.

Zhou Zekai twitched his brows, and immediately wrapped an arm around Ye Xiu's waist, tightening his grip and getting on guard.Ye Xiu should have many friends on the road. Could this store be a dark spot?He was asking for help from the code?This person does bad things without compromising... Taking advantage of the still dark sky, he glanced over and vaguely saw the words XX Antique engraved on the horizontal plaque on the beam of the store door, and he became even more vigilant.

"This is the president of the Henan Antiques Guild..." Ye Xiu also took the initiative to introduce him.

Sure enough, there is a problem, Zhou Zekai thought, what status is he, even if he doesn't know the president of the Henan Antiques Guild, he is familiar with him, he remembers that the president of the Henan Antiques Guild is surnamed Han, he is a young man like an iron tower, not the little old man in front of him .His chest shook Ye Xiu's spine, and he coughed lightly, sending a signal to Jiang Botao.

Jiang Botao understood, and rode close to Zhou Ye's horse.

"Which room is the cousin of... the old man?" The relationship between the big family was too complicated, Ye Xiu couldn't remember it, so he shook his head and gave up regretfully.

……

Zhou Zekai's arm not only did not loosen, but tightened again.Ye Xiu patted the horse's head, "Don't worry, just do something on the way and leave."

The horse blinked innocently and snorted.

The cousin of the old man who is the president of the Henan Antiques Guild didn't know which room was named, and walked over in a daze holding a lantern. He didn't know what happened between the three people and the two horses what.

As he approached, the red light of the lantern blurred by the paper fell on Zhou Ye's face, Boss Jiang made a distinction, and said in surprise, "Yo, Mr. Ye, why are you here?

Ye Xiu replied, "I'm passing by, and I'll see if you've prepared the things from last time."

Boss Jiang didn't believe his passing, and replied in an indifferent manner, "When will I rely on Mr. Ye's things, don't worry, I will go to Shandong to collect the bills, and I will ask him to deliver the things to your store .”

"No need, I've been living in Luoyang recently, so I can pick it up by myself when I have time."

When Boss Jiang heard this, he felt as if he was facing a big enemy, and he didn't feel bad about things anymore. He probed vigilantly, "Why, you want to bring your business to Luoyang?"

How could Ye Xiu not know that the other party was afraid that he would steal his job, so he didn't point it out. He pushed his chin vigorously towards Zhou Zekai, who was connected to his chest and back, "This young master opened a jade factory and paid a lot of money to hire me as a consultant..." , He used Jiang Botao's deceitful rhetoric, and said as if it was true, "In the future, Boss Jiang can find me if he wants fakes or real ones, and fakes of any age."

Who wants to fake it? !Who is looking for you? !

Boss Jiang didn't want to say more, so he had to laugh a few times, so that he could talk and deal with the situation, and then he assigned Ye Xiu's thoughts to Zhou Zekai.The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this jade factory xiaokai who was close to Ye Xiu looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he was in the business of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so it was normal for him to be acquainted with rich people.

Just as he was thinking, Zhou Zekai suddenly changed his embrace to Ye Xiu in a more ambiguous position, and said to him, "Send the things to the commander-in-chief."

"Ah?" Boss Jiang didn't react for a while.

"Next week Zekai." Zhou Zekai said, changing his normal routine and reporting himself as a family.

It is enough to report the name, there is no need to say anything else, who in the provinces of the Central Plains has not heard of this name.

This time even Ye Xiu and Jiang Botao were slightly surprised.
