Gusu snow

That night.

Qian Qiu hesitated and came to the door of Yun Shen's room. At that time, his knees were still a little numb, and he couldn't move freely.He walked slowly to the door of Yunshen's room, hesitating whether to go in or not.

Yun Shen took him out today for the first time. Although he felt happy, he was still a little uneasy.

As Yun Shen said, he has never been good at hiding his emotions, everything is written on his face, so it is not difficult for others to see what he is thinking.

Although Yun Shen is not a person who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out, but it's really surprising for the first time to accompany him to join in such excitement.

In addition, Yun Shen is very smart and good at observing words and demeanor, Qianqiu really doesn't know if he knows that he is from Chu country.

To confess, or not to confess?Qianqiu had a hard time making a choice.

To put it bluntly, he usually has a decisive personality, but when it comes to things like feelings, he just becomes submissive.

Chu State had been in a state of hostility with Qi State ten years ago, almost every two or three months would have to fight several battles, and each fight would last for half a year or a year.

Although Yunfeng's name of the God of War was called out in these large and small battles, the God of War is not the general who wins forever.

Qianqiu remembers that 12 years ago, when he was five years old, Chu State defeated Qi State and injured Qi State's general Yunfeng so badly that he almost died.

These can also be left aside for the time being, after all, those things have nothing to do with Qianqiu himself.

Most of all, he lied to him for ten years.

Yun Shen has always been gentle and approachable in front of him, but there is a certain kind of confidence in him that is sure to win, and this kind of confidence radiates from the inside out, which can almost make everyone unconscious. Let him do his bidding and trust him unreservedly.

Once such a person becomes tough, I really don't know what it will be like.

"Squeak—" The door was pushed open from the inside.

Yun Shen came out wearing a coat, his long hair untied: "Qianqiu come in."

Zhu Jiang has gone back to his room to sleep and is not outside.Yun Shen lit the candles at the four corners by himself, rolled up his sleeves and sat down: "What does Qianqiu want to say to me?"

Qian Qiu was annoyed and frustrated: "Why do you know what I want to do every time?"

"You paced back and forth outside, clicking your tongue and sighing from time to time. Besides, Qian Qiu's shadow is cast on my window, so I don't think it's hard not to notice it."

Qianqiu: "..."

Under the dim candlelight, Yun Shen's brows were soft, and he put on a posture of listening attentively, motioning for Qian Qiu to speak.

Qian Qiu bit her lower lip, and said softly: "It's been so many years, Yun Shen...have you ever thought about my background?"

A tinge of surprise appeared on Yun Shen's face, and it was fleeting: "Never..."

"Seeing those envoys from Chu State today, I suddenly realized that they are guests, guests of Qi State." Qian Qiu said sadly, "Although I have lived in Yunfu for ten years, I am still a stranger in a foreign land after all. That's all."

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Qianqiu homesick?"

"No, no." Qian Qiu quickly denied.

Yun Shen looked into the eyes of the person opposite him calmly.Qianqiu's eyes are beautiful, clear and pure, but soon lost in his line of sight, began to panic, turned to one side in an attempt to cover up, and began to wander around again.

"I'm from Chu." Qianqiu lowered her head, her voice was as low as a mosquito's.

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head anxiously, his heart was pounding, and his brain became a little chaotic—this secret that he had hidden for ten years, was he revealed so easily?

After a long while of silence, Qianqiu raised his head little by little, only to find that Yun Shen was looking at him with gentle eyes.

He looked away uncomfortably, and said dejectedly, "You didn't know it earlier, did you?"

"I don't know." Yun Shen said bluntly.

He stood up, walked slowly in front of Qian Qiu, suddenly grabbed his wrist, and pulled him into his arms.Qian Qiu was caught off guard and staggered, and she was already firmly held by Yun Shen in his arms.

Qian Qiu's face turned red almost instantly.He clearly felt Yun Shen's one arm around his shoulder and the other around his waist, this movement was too intimate.

Yun Shen's warm voice with a smile entered his ears. "No matter where you are from, Yunfu is your home."

Inexplicably, Qianqiu's eyes turned red.This embrace was too gentle and warm, which made him feel helpless but reluctant to part.He moved, and asked cautiously: "Then, don't you care that I've been hiding it from you for so many years?"

"I don't care." Yun Shen let go of Qianqiu, raised his hand to gently brush Qianqiu's somewhat messy hair, "I told you before when I rescued you back to Yunfu, I will wait for Qianqiu if you are willing to tell me One day. You and I have been as close as brothers for ten years, and I have already regarded you as my relatives, so naturally I don’t care about Qianqiu’s life experience."

"Besides, you've been staying by my side safely and never asked to go back. How could I think about it?"

Qianqiu's heart beat fast: "I can't repay the kindness you saved me back then. Therefore, I am willing to always be by your side."

Yun Shen smiled and said: "There is no need to repay Qianqiu, it is already very good now."

Qian Qiu wanted to say something, but someone knocked on the door from outside.A low-pitched voice came indistinctly: "My lord, are you asleep, my lord?"

It's Zhu Jiang.Yun Shen turned his head and said, "No..."

Zhu Jiang's voice raised slightly: "Then, son, is the young master with you?"

Qian Qiu hurried out: "I'm here, what happened?"

Once Zhu Jiang saw Qianqiu coming out intact, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Master, what are you doing in the son's room at night? I woke up at night and found your door was wide open. I thought it was a thief."

"The door is wide open??" Qianqiu thought about it for a while, and said embarrassedly: "I seem...forgot to close the door?"

Zhu Jiang corrected while walking in front: "It doesn't seem to be, it's not closed at all."

Qianqiu: "Oh, that's it."

Yun Shen smiled slightly at him: "It's getting late, Qianqiu should go to sleep. There is still a schedule tomorrow."

"Okay." Qian Qiu obediently agreed.

Yun Shen closed the door.But Qian Qiu did not leave immediately.

He stood silently at the door, clutching something tightly in his hand.After hesitating for a moment, he took a deep look at the door, then turned around and left.

It's better to sleep well first, and get ready to see the princess of Chu country tomorrow.

Back in his room, Zhu Jiang muttered to let Qianqiu in, suddenly paused, and asked in doubt: "Master, what's wrong with you, why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold?"

Qianqiu: "Go to bed with you, I'm very hot."

Zhu Jiang: "Oh, then I'm going to sleep, young master, remember to close the door."

Qianqiu: "I want you to tell me."

The visit of the Emperor of Chu was a big event, and Qianqiu and Yun Shen went out together after lunch.

After a while, the crowd was bustling together, not to mention squeezing in from the crowd, even looking at so many people felt terrified.

Although Yun Shen's foresight was really excellent, the teahouse had reserved seats, and the rest were almost full again.

But when Qian Qiu and Yun Shen came, they saw another person angrily saying something to Xiao Er.Xiao Er nodded and bowed, but his face was troubled.

Someone grab a seat?

Yun Shen and Qian Qiu looked at each other, Zhu Jiang looked at the man, and whispered to Yun Shen: "Young master, that is the young master of the Li family. His family is quite powerful in the court, but this young master of the Li family is usually a dude, isn't he?" nice guy."

"What nonsense are you talking to him?" Qianqiu frowned, he hated such a person extremely in his heart, as soon as he saw it, he walked over without hesitation, "Shopkeeper, did we reserve this position yesterday?"

Qian Qiu didn't call Xiao Er, but called the shopkeeper who was a little further away.He let go of his voice, and raised the heads of almost all the people who lowered their heads thinking not to cause trouble, successfully attracting a lot of attention.

The shopkeeper hesitated, looked at the young master of the Li family, but said nothing.

Qianqiu doesn't care.

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and stood still.

"My lord, don't you want to go?" Zhu Jiang looked at Qianqiu and said worriedly.

"It doesn't have to be..."

The young master of the Li family immediately glared at Qian Qiu arrogantly and said: "Who are you? Have you never heard of my name? This young master came here and said what he wanted, no one would dare not give it!"

Qian Qiu laughed mockingly, walked straight to the seat behind Young Master Li, sat down under the gaze of Young Master Li, tapped his knuckles on the table: "Little Er, serve tea."

"You!" The young master of the Li family was furious.

Qianqiu glanced over: "The emperor of Chu will come in a while, you don't want to fight with me until that time, do you?"

He sat still and nodded to a few people, "That, that, and that person are all those who were present yesterday, and they must be able to testify that this seat is reserved for us."

The young master of the Li family smiled angrily: "Heh, do you really think they will testify for you?"

Qian Qiu changed his sitting position and said with a smile: "Then you want to fight with me when the Emperor of Chu comes? At that time, there will be court officers and soldiers, and Prince Jing will personally guard outside the imperial city. Do you want to calm things down, or Let Prince Jing know what you have done?"

The young master of the Li family had an ugly expression on his face: "Do you think that I will be afraid?"

Qian Qiu didn't pay attention at all: "Once the people from the royal family start to investigate, maybe they will follow the clues and find out many things."

Young Master Li's face turned pale immediately.

Xiao Er handed over a cup of tea at the right time.Qian Qiu glanced at him, and sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, he is a businessman, and he knows who has the upper hand.Even though the waiter and the shopkeeper didn't know their identities, but looking at Yun Shen's conversation and actions yesterday, a businessman would guess that they must have a lot of background, not unknown people.

Yun Shen walked over, Shi Shiran sat down, and nodded indifferently to Young Master Li.

The young master of the Li family became even more angry, but he saw the servant following Yun Shen inadvertently throw something out of his cuff.

Immediately, his face turned pale, and he glanced at Yun Shen in disbelief, and finally he could only snort, fling his sleeves and leave.

Zhu Jiang quietly put away the general order talisman.
