The Days of Dressing Up as a Handsome General

Chapter 23 Tenderness and Philistines

The huge imperial list posted not far away caught my attention, I clamped my horse belly, Ye Xing walked over slowly, the words on the imperial list made my mind go blank for an instant——

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said: "I am the only woman who, apart from her integrity, has her virtues and conducts, and she is beautiful in the boudoir and annihilated without passing on. How many people are there!... Yan is the daughter of Zhuge Lian, Marquis of Ning, Liang, and she comes from a famous family." , beautiful and dignified, the country is well-endowed. I am hereby canonized as the "Queen", to show the prosperity of Qi and Liang..."

Nangong Yu walked over slowly, took the reins and led Ye Xing back, "Go back."

The Yan family is actually Yan Mo's niece by blood. Sima Yan accepted Liang Guo's marriage on the third day after I left. palace.

No wonder Dierlang is the luckiest person, I sneered, no wonder the journey was unimpeded, it turns out that his heart is not with me at all.I slightly raised my head and chuckled, you really take yourself seriously?How long do you think an emperor can be interested in a man like you?The country in his heart will not be limited to one country of Qi, do you think he only wants you as one?

The tears from the corners of my eyes slid down the slightly hooked corners of my mouth, dripping from my chin, the air from my lungs broke through my choking throat, and I made a strange voice, "Nangong Yu, you already knew that, didn't you?"

He only responded to me with silence, holding Ye Xing, and didn't even turn his head back.

"No wonder you always enter the city through the side door. You dare to hide it from me?"

"Then why don't you keep it a secret?"

"I think it's for your own good to keep it from you. Sooner or later you will forget about Sima Yan, but, for the past ten days, you have been thinking about him every day..." A lonely smile appeared on his face, "So , I want you to give up, even if you don’t see this imperial list today, you will hear it from the storyteller in the tea house tomorrow. I will tell you the origin of that mark because of my selfishness.”

He ignored my trembling, or in other words, he still didn't look back, but just walked forward step by step, uttering my words word by word: "The Qingfeng of Ruoshuilou is my younger brother Nangong Yi, he sent a letter to tell me I, Sima Yan, didn't make things difficult for Ruoshuilou after waking up that day, I just poured kerosene on that bed with my own hands, and burned the whole room together..."

"You don't know that Sima Yan is obsessed with cleanliness, do you? Let me tell you again, why you just have a fever after smelling the medicinal fragrance, and you don't fall asleep like Sima Yan after the indulgence, because I have smelled that on you countless times. A smell, every time you come out of the palace, you will have the smell of Mixiang... I also know this, so I set up such a trick in Ruoshui Tower, because I know you have long been resistant to Mixiang... ..."

I stared at the back of Nangong Yu's head, and felt a dull pain in my chest as if I was suffocating.

"The imprint on your back declares that person's ownership, and that imprint is tattooed according to Zhuge Yun's private imprint."

I opened my mouth, my nose was sour, and I tremblingly insisted: "Nangong Yu...you are so cruel... all your gentleness is a lie, right?"

There was a moment of stiffness in his back, he turned around, and said with sad eyes: "I never forced you, I just protect you with all my heart, before you cared about everyone's little family, I have nothing to say, now you actually fall in love with Sima Yan, treat me Just turn a blind eye, you say, who is cruel? Sima Yan treated you like that, don't you say he is cruel?"

I gritted my teeth, and my voice came out from between my teeth: "At least he won't tell me, even if he saw that mark, even if he thought I was dirty, he would have done it with me. And you know that he might see my bad past, Still using that method…”

He turned his face away, and let out a sneer from his nose, "Is that how you look at me?"

Taking advantage of his inattention, I dug out the pill sewn in his sleeve, and slammed it to the ground. At the same time, I pulled out the rein in his hand, rode the horse, and ran forward with my breath held. When the pill touched the ground, it immediately sprang out. Billowing yellow smoke, even my eyes were smoked to secrete tears.

Ye Xing spread his hooves and ran forward, I turned around and looked over, and saw Nangong Yu quickly covered his mouth and nose, but was still exhausted from inhaling a little poisonous gas, kneeling on the ground on one knee, the yellow smoke quickly surrounded him and obliterated him lost his figure.

The potency of this medicine depends on the amount of inhalation to determine the duration of the potency. I quickly went back to the inn room, picked up the copper case and walked out.A few days ago, for some reason, I put a lot of silver taels and some bank notes in it.But now all I know is that I want to take this copper suitcase and find a place where no one knows me.

When my foot stepped down the stairs, my elbow was gently grabbed by someone, it couldn't be Nangong Yu, he couldn't be so fast.

When I turned around, I saw the man blinking his deep and narrow eyes, and asked with doubts: "Master, you still run out so late, could it be..."

I quickly interrupted him, "Young Master Zhu, if my brother comes to see me, you can just ask questions."

Zhu Yun glanced at the door thoughtfully, and I also quickly glanced at the door, he said: "He is rushing here, if you go out now, you will definitely not be able to escape his sight. "

He met my suspicious eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "I feel a disordered breath not far away is rapidly approaching this direction."

I panicked for a moment, unable to advance or retreat while holding the copper box, Zhu Yun said: "Come with me, I will help you."

He took me into his room, opened a big box next to the bed, and said, "You're lucky, this box of pearls has been bribed all the way, go in..."

I saw a few longan-sized pearls lying quietly at the bottom of the box, and felt a little hesitant.

"He's going upstairs. If you don't want to go into the box, I have no other place to hide here."

I took a deep breath and quickly lay down, legs curled up.Zhu Yun glanced at the door, quickly jumped into the box, and closed the lid.I was about to speak when he covered my mouth and nose with one hand, and the voice rang in my ear, "Hold your breath."

I restrained my mind and didn't even dare to breathe out. In the dark, he breathed very softly next to my ear, so light that people couldn't feel the breath getting into my ear again and again. The temperature in the box was a little Gao, the pearls under my body hurt me too, I twisted my body slightly, trying to make my back more comfortable.

Suddenly, without warning, a big hand climbed up my back along my shoulder, slowly walking in the darkness...

I widened my eyes and stretched out my hand to stop the claw. At this time, I only heard the sound of the door being pushed open with a bang, and the shopkeeper said cautiously: "Master, this restaurant is taken over by Mr. Zhu today. He let you It’s good enough to live here, you can’t just wander around…”

There was a slight sound from the wooden floor being stepped on, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if it was stopping in front of the bed.My half-stretched hand was hanging in the air, afraid that I might make some noise, and the hand on my back also stopped.

Afterwards, the sound of chaotic footsteps told me that there were a lot of people coming, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my son's room?"

"I'm looking for someone."

"Looking for someone? Is there someone like you who is looking for someone so viciously? I'm afraid it's not looking for someone but finding fault?"

The hand on my back went down my spine, and I didn't dare to slap him, so I could only open my mouth and bite his hand covering my nose and mouth, taking advantage of someone's danger, right?I kill you!

That hand didn't slow down, but instead moved up and down more and more frantically.I just felt blood rushing into my head, and I couldn't even hear the sudden fighting sound in the room. I just wanted to jump out of this box and beat this frivolous man violently to relieve my anger.

It wasn't until I tasted a sweet and fishy taste in my mouth that I even bit Zhu Yun's hand.As his hands withdrew from my back, I realized that those pearls that hurt my back before were gone. Could it be that he was helping me just now?Thinking of this, I quickly let go of my mouth, and then his hands left my face.

I couldn't help despising myself in my heart, I didn't even think about it just now, with my square face and narrow eyes now, who would touch me for nothing?

Following the shopkeeper's words, "Your brother... I saw him escape through the window just now." The battle in the room died down with Nangong Yu's departure.

I pushed him and was about to speak, but Zhu Yun covered my mouth again, and waited until everyone in the room dispersed before he pushed the box away and stepped out.

I sat in the box and glanced at the blood-stained tooth marks on Zhu Yun's palm. I felt ashamed. After thinking about it, it would be better to apologize, "Well, I'm sorry, I don't know good people by biting Lu Dongbin. Look at it. Do you want to ask a doctor to see..."

Zhu Yun burst out laughing, "Well, the dog bit Lu Dongbin, you described it very bluntly."

I patted myself on the head, blushed with embarrassment, and said helplessly, "The key point is the last half sentence."

"Do you want to wash your face first? You really look like a big yellow dog now."

I frowned, walked to the copper basin containing water in the room, and took a look at the water in it, my God, whose face is that yellow and white face inside?Maybe it's because of crying before, the white streaks on his face are really shocking...

It wasn't until the water was changed twice that the things on the face were washed clean.

Zhu Yun looked at me, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "No wonder you bit me so hard. Could it be that people have eaten a lot of tofu?"

Hearing this, the guilt in my heart disappeared without a trace. I stared at him, breathed a sigh of relief, turned to bow with a smile, and said in my mouth: "Thanks to the righteousness of the young master, I will not disturb your rest. .”

He asked with interest: "Are you leaving now? It's so late, can you find a place to stay? Maybe there are people looking for you all over the city outside?"

"You can stay here tonight, and I will help you out of the city tomorrow."

"Why are you helping me?"

"You look good."

I appreciate his casual answer, and this straightforward way wins my heart.I asked, "Which way are you going?"

There was momentary consideration in his eyes, and then he said, "Lianguo."

I thought about it, it's good to go to Liangguo, maybe Nangong Yu will chase after him in the direction of Lingzhou.I nodded and said, "Then please take me for a ride."

In the middle of the night, Zhu Yun threw out a sentence - "I only attack the people I love, don't worry, I'm not lonely..." In this way, I feel embarrassed not to climb into his bed.

Lying on his side on the bed, accompanied by Zhu Yun's steady breathing, what happened today in his head, tears silently soaked the pillow.

Nangong Yu's words echoed in my ears over and over again, I don't blame Sima Yan, I don't blame Nangong Yu, I blame myself more, I blame myself for not falling in love with Sima Yan... If I didn't fall in love with him, My heart won't be so painful right now, it hurts so much that I can only curl up and cover my heart and cry, it really hurts...

Why, why didn't you find me?Why did you burn that bed?

With the wanton flow of tears, some answers came to my heart faintly...

He told me that he would never let me go, and I told him, hold my hand and walk with me.

The fragments in my mind made me cry uncontrollably. The more I suppressed the silent crying, the more I felt choked up, and the more uncomfortable I felt.I opened my mouth, sobbing every time I inhaled, my head was throbbing from the lack of oxygen.

Zhu Yun let out a long sigh behind my back, "Oh... no wonder I just had a dream that I fell into the water..."

He patted my back to help me calm down, and put me in his arms regardless of my struggle, and said, "Cry, either cry loudly, or don't cry."

I stopped struggling, turned over, grabbed his lapel and cried loudly. He patted my back one after another, without saying or asking anything.

It wasn't until I was tired from crying and fell asleep drowsily that I heard him slowly say, "Just let me fall into the water..."

----------------------------------------

The next day, I got into Zhu Yun's carriage with two eyes that were swollen into walnuts. Zhu Yun sat on the short bench reading a book, his eyes focused, and his upright sitting posture was a replica of Sima Yan.

I looked away from Zhu Yun and turned to the window.

"Your horse is waiting for you outside the city, and it took a lot of work to get him out of the city."

"Thank you."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"How long will it take to the next city?"

"Three days."

"Actually, I don't have too many plans. Let's find a place to live first, and then make money. After all, people have to live." The only property I have now is the copper box that is now placed aside. The money in it Although there are many, I can't wait to sit and eat.

"How are you going to find a place to live?"

I was dumbfounded, since I came here, I have never lived independently, and I even became proficient in dressing after being captured by Nangong Yu.yes?How to find a house to live in?A family knocked on the door and asked if there was any rent for sale?

"Sure enough, you don't even know about the real estate market, can you do it alone?" Zhu Yun looked away from the book and shook his head as he looked at me.

"Yes, the property market..." I acted like a sudden realization.

"Do you know the market?"

"Markets..." I nodded, with a knowing smile deliberately showing on my lips, "Stop showing such a dull face," he supported his forehead, lowered his eyelids, and said with a look of blindness: "There is a property in that city that I bought. It is usually vacant. You can live in it... By the way, the rent is based on the market price, ten taels a month."

I immediately smiled, "It should, it should."

How do I know what the real estate market is like? I opened the box and picked out an ingot worth 20 taels of silver, and put it on the desk. He glanced at it and refused to accept it.

"There are nearly 30 maids and cooks in the courtyard, with a total of 40 taels per month."

I quickly took the ingot back, "I don't need so many people to wait on me. I just need a place to sleep and a kitchen. Thirty people? How big is your yard?"

"Then you should live in a side courtyard near the back door. You don't want a servant?"

"No." I figured out why he was so kind to ask me to live in his house. After a long time, he asked me to pay the monthly fee for the servants. Am I a fool?

"The twelfth of January."

I widened my eyes, "Aren't you too dark? I live in a remote hospital, don't you think it's cheaper?"

"You don't want a slave to live in the side courtyard, which means I'm still the rightful owner of the house, and I still have to support them. If you think it's inappropriate, you can stay."

I secretly snapped my fingers, living in the side courtyard is ten taels without a waiter, and 50 taels if someone is waiting and living in the main courtyard, I don’t need to be so extravagant.

I pouted, and put the ingot of silver on it again, "I live in a side courtyard."

He took the silver and spat: "Stingy."

I was so angry that I was smoking, and I choked out a sentence for a long time, "profiteer!"
