Jian Qiao followed Lei Zhe's guidance and looked over.

In front of his eyes, a group of dazed-looking people writhed on the sofa, the carpet, and even the tabletop.

Ever seen cheese parasitized by fly maggots?Such a scene is no different from that piece of cheese.Unfettered privilege breeds corruption, and corruption becomes a breeding ground for germs, insects, mildew, and all that is nasty.

In a trance, Jian Qiao seemed to smell the unique smell of the swamp, the smell of moldy corpses.

He stretched out his slender index finger and tapped the tip of his nose lightly.

The glass of red wine he drank just now had already flowed through his body along with his blood, and turned into two hot blushes that slowly climbed up his cheeks.His face was always pale, but at this moment he was like a rose blooming on a high mountain, blooming a rare color.

And his slightly frowned brows and tightly pursed lips made him feel a little vulnerable.

Lei Zhe glanced at him casually, and the light in his pupils froze.

After a while, Lei Zhe struggled to look away, and at the same time moved away from the wine glass in Jian Qiao's hand.

"A glass of warm water." He snapped his fingers at the waiter standing in the corner.

The waiter immediately brought a glass of warm water.

Jian Qiao realized that Lei Zhe had ordered this glass of water for her, and looked at him with gratitude.

This gratitude caused his dark eyes to emit a moist but bright light.

Lei Zhe glanced at him quickly, and said in a deep voice: "You're welcome. If you can't even drink alcohol, you'd better go back to the remote Desolette. I can't stay in Grande every day, let alone all the time. Watching you. What are you going to do next time I don't make it in time?"

Jian Qiao hadn't figured out how to solve this problem, so she fell silent.

He never promised to go back to Du Solette, because he still had a lot to do.

Lei Zhe also sensed his resolute refusal to go back, so he pointed to the group of people wriggling like maggots, and said, "See? There is no fresh smell brought by the drizzle on the flowers and grass here, only alcohol, A stench of sweat mixed with opium. This is not for you."

Mr. Earl was clean, and he couldn't bear to see him covered in filth.

Jian Qiao took a sip from the water glass, and retorted softly: "But you are here. Sitting next to you, all the odors are isolated, I only smell a very cold one, like goose feather snow falling on the pine and cypress trees The sweet and refreshing fragrance inspired by it."

He couldn't help but twitch the tip of his nose to prove that he was telling the truth.

Lei Zhe had a very domineering smell, which was caused by years of contact between cold weapons and the oil that maintained them.

The cold metal will emit a blood-like smell due to the generation of rust.If you want to remove the rust, you must rub it with sand and stones. The high heat generated by the friction will make the smell a little burnt.At this time, the person who maintains the weapon will put the very thick boiled tung oil on the flickering blade of the sword.

The rich fat of tung oil produced a wonderful chemical reaction with the burnt smell, and finally formed a sword smell that seemed sweet but not sweet, cold but not cold.

This was also the first time Jian Qiao realized that the smell of the sword was not bad at all.

He looked directly into Lei Zhe's blue eyes, and said seriously: "I like your smell. Sitting next to you, I feel great."

Lei Zhe fell into an indescribable burning sensation.He wanted to say something, but there was a scalding hot air in his throat, which made his mouth dry and his head dizzy.

He had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and drank the crimson liquid in one gulp.Spicy drinks did not help relieve the heat, but instead ignited a fire in my heart.He squeezed his fist and felt a sticky layer of sweat emerge from his palm.

He had never been so nervous the night before fighting his greatest foe.No, rather, it's excitement.The flame in the heart has burned all over his body along the blood vessels.

He drank two more glasses of wine in a row, and then suppressed the turbulent mood, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for your like, but I still want to persuade you to leave. See? Everyone here is a dirty Dirty. They may bathe only twice in their life, once at birth and once at marriage.

"They wear the most gorgeous clothes, but when night comes, take off this layer of glamorous skin, and you will find that their bodies have turned black and stinky. This is a group of monsters that you are trying to blend in. They spray strong perfume, isn't it Not for icing on the cake, but to cover up their decaying bodies."

He waved to the waiter and asked for a bottle of spirits.

The waiter was about to bend down to serve him, but Jian Qiao had already taken the wine bottle and filled it for Lei Zhe himself.

Lei Zhe stared at the considerate Jian Qiao, his Adam's apple couldn't stop rolling up and down.He drank up the wine that the other party had filled for him, and continued: "So, go back to your Desolette, or one day, sooner or later, you will also become a stinky monster."

If Jian Qiao also becomes someone like Andre, Lei Zhe will feel sad.

The pure flower should bloom on the high mountains of Desolet, where the cliffs will protect its bloom, and where the clouds and mists will preserve its fragrance.That's the safest place.

Thinking of this, Lei Zhe tapped his empty wine glass on the table lightly, motioning for Jian Qiao to fill it up again.

When he persuaded Jane Qiao to leave Grande, the slight tingling began to wander around the corners of his heart.He needed a douche of alcohol to numb this weird feeling.

Jian Qiao looked at Lei Zhe carefully, and found that his face was normal and his eyes were clear, so he poured wine for him.

"But, here is you." Jian Qiao sighed and said, "You who have been among these monsters have not been affected at all. You are always clean, and you don't need gorgeous clothes to decorate Myself, because you are the best existence. I saw a group of monsters, but I also saw a very lovely person. I am with you enough to resist this dirty, torrent of desire."

Jian Qiao touched her heart with her slender fingertips, and said softly, "Grand has you, and this alone is enough reason for me to stay for a long time."

At this moment, he had obviously forgotten what he said to Lei Zhe when they first met.

He said that once he finished attending the king's banquet, he would leave, because Grande was Lei Zhe's territory.At that time, he regarded Lei Zhe as a scourge, but now he knows that this person is the safest fortress.

Lei Zhe: "..."

The flames in Lei Zhe's throat, heart, and body began to burn violently again.He fixedly looked at this stubborn person who was unwilling to leave no matter how much he persuaded him, and fell into a long silence.His messy thoughts made it impossible for him to form a complete sentence.

He only knew that this person was messing up his heart with the sweetest and stickiest words.

After finally breaking free from these honey-thick whirlpools, he could only utter two words in a hoarse voice: "Pour the wine."

He needs a lot of alcohol now to numb his heart that is beating too fast.

damn it!Mr. Earl must have studied the art of flattery!Otherwise he wouldn't be so powerful!Look at his diction, what "the best existence", "a very lovely person".Growing up so big, I never knew I was cute.

Lei Zhe Nong frowned, as if he disliked this almost nasty flattery, but the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

Jian Qiao covered his wine glass with her pale palm, and said softly, "Okay, don't drink any more, it's time for us to leave."

This resplendent hall has become a pure place to vent animal desires.If she stayed any longer, Jian Qiao would be fainted by the stench emitted by these people.

Lei Zhe immediately stood up and said, "Let's go."

He picked up his coat and threw it to Jane Qiao casually: "Put it on, you sweated a lot just now, and the inner lining should be soaked. When the cold wind blows outside, your small body should lie down again. "

After speaking, he clicked his tongue, as if he disliked Jian Qiao very much.

"Thank you." Jian Qiao put on her coat and said seriously: "Look, I don't have to worry about anything when I stay with you."

"Shut up, I'm tired of hearing your compliments." The corners of Lei Zhe's mouth curled up slightly, but he immediately tightened his mouth, and then put on an impatient expression.

The two walked outside side by side and took a deep breath at the same time.

Two carriages came separately, one carved with an anemone, the other with a roaring lion.

Seeing Jian Qiao being helped into the carriage by the footman, Lei Zhe suddenly stretched out his hand, blocked the door that was about to close, and said seriously: "Why don't you go back? Don't use me as an excuse, tell me the real reason. Later I will go to the army in a few days. The barracks is far away from the center of Grande, and I have to train. At that time, I will not come back for two or three months. If you think I can protect you, then you I was wrong."

Jian Qiao sighed, and said slowly: "Well, the real reason is that I want to stay and open up a grain road for my people. The city of Desolete only has mountains, and there is no large area of ​​plains. The grain we produce is basically Not enough for a rapidly expanding population."

Jian Qiao closed her eyes, and her tone became serious: "Have you ever seen the scene of corpses lying in the snow in winter? The mother hugged the starved child and cried to the sky, and the child knelt in front of the parents' grave and mourned. Purgatory. And I never want to see that again."

He opened his eyes and said slowly: "That's why I'm here. I want to establish a good relationship with the big lords who have rich land. I want to let my people buy enough food for the winter. And I'm trying to get along with those big lords." We sign a treaty of free trade. I want my people to go to any city without being killed by the local lords for the ridiculous reason of 'foreigners'. I want them to live."

Pointing to his thin shoulders, he whispered firmly: "Some burdens cannot be lifted, do you understand?"

Lei Zhe looked into those dark and deep eyes, and fell into a long silence.

Of course he understands this truth.On the night when his sister resolutely broke up with her lover who had been in love for several years, and entered the palace alone in a carriage, he understood that the reason why nobles are nobles is that some responsibilities are inherent in them.

However, he did not expect Mr. Earl to have such an awareness.The other party's insistence on staying in Grande was not bewitched by power, nor was it yearning for a luxurious life, nor was it for the opportunity to climb upwards.

He is for his people, simple as that.

Lei Zhe let go of the hand that was stuck on the car door, took two steps back, looked deeply into Mr. Earl's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I want to correct a wrong impression. Jane Qiao, you are not weak or incompetent at all. To show that With respect to you, I decided to stay in Grande for a while. I will only leave when you are ready to leave."

What is the difference between this sentence and directly saying "I protect you"?
