Villain, do you remember that I am a stand-in?

When returning to the inn, Lin Can suddenly told Ji Xiaoguang that he planned to leave.

"Experience?" Ji Xiaoguang asked him: "Where are you going? Are you alone?"

Lin Can stood straight, with bruises on his face and neck from the two hidden guards. He nodded, "Go to Xuangu Forest."

Ji Xiaoguang belatedly said "Oh", he originally wanted to bring Lin Can back to Xiaoyun Mountain, if Lin Can wanted to, he could stay by his side like a flying slave to ensure that he was fed and clothed.

But Lin Can's decision was also within his expectations. Xuangu Forest is full of dangers, but it is indeed a good place to practice.

Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help thinking about him: "Then you just leave like this? What about the travel expenses? And at least a decent sword?"

Lin Can was dumbfounded for a moment, bowed his head and said, "I, I haven't made up my mind yet..."

He could use any branch he picked up as a sword, he never thought that he could have a weapon of his own, and he didn't think about all kinds of trivial matters.

Seeing him like this, Ji Xiaoguang was really afraid that he would starve to death before he reached Xuangu Forest.

Knowing that Lin Can would not accept his excessive charity, he could only think of other ways.

Ji Xiaoguang rubbed his chin, and slapped Lin Can's shoulder for a moment, which shocked him greatly.

"Why don't you go to work in that blacksmith's shop these two days, earn some silver taels, and buy a similar sword as a pawn on the road."

Seeing Lin Can's hesitation, Ji Xiaoguang patted his chest: "Don't worry, Mr. Redbeard has a good impression of me, and even asked me to find some part-time workers in private. It's just right for you to go."

"Thank you, Mr. Ji." Lin Can nodded, with hope shining in his eyes.

"Are you sure this kid can save enough money for travel expenses and a sword in two days?" Xu Ziying sneered after hearing this, never hearing such a loss-making transaction.

Ji Xiaoguang forced a smile: "Half-true, half-false, such words can only deceive Lin Can." He paused: "Otherwise I wouldn't come to you brother..."

"No loan."

Xu Ziying's abacus was crackling, and he flipped through the account book with one hand: "Suddenly calling me brothers and sisters, nothing good will happen."

Ji Xiaoguang knew that he was desperate, but there was nothing he could do. He put his palms together and raised his head above his head: "Please, shopkeeper, you said that your family has a big business and you can't even lend me some money to fit between my teeth."

Xu Ziying gave him a look of charity: "Where's your guy? How much money did I spend here without even blinking his eyes? Why don't you ask him for it?"

Ji Xiaoguang pursed his lips and said, "Shen Lianting didn't allow me to get too close to Lin Can, this time I want to help him one last time, and don't let Shen Lianting know."

"Then you." After finishing the calculation, Xu Ziying felt refreshed physically and mentally, and looked at him with his chin on the counter: "Is it true that you don't have a single coin?"

Ji Xiaoguang smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head and said nothing.

Xu Ziying raised his forehead: "How can I have poor friends like you..."

The money bag was with Shen Lianting, and Ji Xiaoguang usually had no worries about food and clothing, but he was used to it by Shen Lianting, so he never saved a single coin.

"Otherwise, there is no way to borrow money, but I can find you a way to make money."

Xu Ziying has a lot of problems, but he is definitely a good money maker. Ji Xiaoguang was ill and went to the doctor in a hurry, so he hurriedly said.

"What way? But there are only two days, where can I earn so much money?"

"Look at what you said, of course it's a way to make money while lying down."

Xu Ziying raised her delicate eyebrows, beckoned to Ji Xiaoguang, and said mysteriously, "This method can only be done by you."

Ji Xiaoguang's attitude was very correct, and he said seriously: "What?"

Xu Ziying said: "Let His Highness Six sleep with you for two nights, and earn some hard work."

Ji Xiaoguang: "..." You can really make money while lying down.

He shook his head like a rattle, and prevaricated: "No, I haven't confessed my love to Shen Lianting yet, how can, how can..."

Just bypass all the steps and go to bed, isn't that a friend with guns?

Xu Ziying couldn't believe it, and exclaimed: "You haven't said it yet?! Do you want to wait until the seven elders and 80 are buried together?"

Ji Xiaoguang didn't mind his poisonous tongue, he just said in a muffled voice, "I want to, but these days, I can't find a suitable opportunity at all."

Shen Lianting didn't want to get close to him, and seemed to be avoiding him, it was useless for him to think so.

"But you're always cowering like this, what's the difference from handing over His Highness the Sixth Highness?" Xu Ziying poked his elm head with his fingers, eager to see what was inside.

Ji Xiaoguang's face turned red, and he couldn't stand his nagging, so he broke the jar and said, "I say, I'll just say no! I'll say it tonight!"

"That's right." Xu Ziying snorted and smiled: "I confessed and got the money, killing two birds with one stone, win-win!"

Ji Xiaoguang thought that sooner or later he would be led astray by Xu Ziying, but he had to bow his head to the evil forces.

"But, the plan can't keep up with the changes, shopkeeper Xu, you can lend me some money, interest, I can give you interest, right?"

Xu Ziying thought that there was still room for negotiation. Looking at his fair and tender face and his robes of Shu brocade, he weighed the pros and cons and said.

"If you have no money, it's not impossible if there is something valuable to offset it."

Ji Xiaoguang rummaged through the items in the Qiankun bag, and finally took out a book from the corner.

He thought about it in a trance, and looked at the ancient blue book in his hand, which was the "Book of Wine" that he brought from the Xiaoyun Mountain Library Tower.

Although Shen Lianting asked him to take this book, it is something from Xiaoyun Mountain, so it is not considered as a gift from Shen Lianting. If he handles it by himself, it is okay, right?

He put the book on the counter and pushed it in front of Xu Ziying: "Use this to pay for it."

Xu Ziying doesn't do business at a loss, and knows the benefits of investing the most. This book contains all kinds of secret recipes for wine making. Ji Xiaoguang probably won't use it, but it is a good thing for Xu Ziying.

Sure enough, Xu Ziying flipped through the book for a while, then closed the book, feeling very happy for the first time: "The deal is done, and I will come back to get the money in two days."

Ji Xiaoguang was not happy anymore, seeing that he was about to walk, he said, "You can't be a profiteer, you know that?"

"Besides, I'm a profiteer and blackmail you for mental damage." Xu Ziying turned around and shook the "Book of Wine" in his hand.

"Inspect the goods first and then pay the money. I will refund you for no reason, just in case."

Ji Xiaoguang had no choice but to say: "Then you don't need to give me the money, go to the blacksmith shop to buy a good sword, and ask them to sell it to Lin Can at a low price!"

Xu Ziying gestured "OK" and left without looking back.

After dinner, Ji Xiaoguang deliberately sent away the servants who served him, so he had a big problem when he took a bath.

"The leg still hurts?" Shen Lianting asked with concern.

Ji Xiaoguang nodded, and "hissed" again when he moved his legs: "Perhaps the wound was opened by accident when going upstairs."

The knife wound on his thigh was the deepest, and the medicine needed to be changed twice a day. Bai Ying was injured and had no one to take care of him, and Shen Lianting found a reliable servant to take care of him.

But tonight the servant is not here, only Ji Xiaoguang and Shen Lianting are alone.

Shen Lianting looked at the wound carefully, and pondered for a moment: "It's nothing, just sleep after taking the medicine, don't take a bath."

"No." Ji Xiaoguang curled up a pair of slender legs, with the untied gauze next to him, the hem was lifted up, and he only wore a pair of brocade white trousers.

"I want to wash..." he said awkwardly.

A few extra candles were lit in the guest room, the lights were brightly lit, the window lattices on the four walls were closed tightly, and the six-sided sandalwood screen was separated, and the water vapor was dense.

Shen Lianting sat by the bathtub big enough to accommodate three people, took off his large outer robe, rolled up his cuffs to reveal his strong arms, twisted out a handkerchief with warm water, and looked at Ji Xiaoguang.

"Come by yourself, I'll carry you out later."

Ji Xiaoguang's face was stained with water, and he responded in a low voice, took the handkerchief and wiped it on his body indiscriminately.

He took off all his clothes, didn't put any flowers or medicines in the bath water, the water couldn't be clearer, just took a simple bath, Shen Lianting didn't look sideways, and didn't raise his eyelids too much.

Shen Lianting originally liked men, right?Could it be that he is as thin as a white chicken and has no interest at all?

Ji Xiaoguang felt that he had never failed like this before, so he put the confession later, and if the two of them had sex with each other, it would be easy to talk about everything afterwards.

But Shen Lianting didn't think about that at all, and even wanted to coax him to sleep before turning around and leaving.

"Okay, stay in the house tomorrow, don't walk around at will."

After taking a bath, Shen Lianting helped him change the medicine, blew out the candles, and when he was about to leave, Ji Xiaoguang suddenly took his hand.

He groped in the dark and sat up: "Shen Lianting, sleep with me, okay?"

Shen Lianting was silent for a while, and a voice rang above his head: "Hey, go to sleep."

"Don't! I, I..." Ji Xiaoguang held onto Shen Lianting's hand, trying to say something indiscriminately: "Well, I gave that book to Shopkeeper Xu."

Sure enough, Shen Lianting did not move, and asked him, "What book?"

Ji Xiaoguang also couldn't figure out why he wanted to tell Shen Lianting this in the dark, and he couldn't say it was to pay off the debt, he could only say.

"That is, the book I took from the Xiaoyunshan Library Tower, I kept it as useless, so I gave it to Shopkeeper Xu."

Shen Lianting didn't answer the words after listening, but stood in the darkness. He suddenly felt a little breathless, and only heard Shen Lianting's deep voice.

"Get the book back."

Ji Xiaoguang was stunned, and said dumbly, "Huh?"

"I said." Shen Lianting lowered his body, put his hands on his shoulders, with an unquestionable feeling: "Go and get the book back."

Although Ji Xiaoguang didn't want to believe it, but hearing Shen Lianting's tone, he was indeed angry, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he explained.

"I, I'm sorry, I should have told you, I shouldn't have made a claim, I'll take the book back right now."

Ji Xiaoguang was dizzy in a hurry, and was about to run outside in the middle of the night. Before he could move, Shen Lianting put his hands on his shoulders to prevent him from going.

The bedroom was pitch black, and Ji Xiaoguang couldn't see anything, but he could feel the sight of Shen Lianting and each other's breath, all in his ears.

After a long time, Shen Lianting seemed to lose his strength, and sighed lightly, and then Ji Xiaoguang felt his shoulders sink, and it was Shen Lianting's head attached to it.

"Those books... are my mother's, originally they belonged to my mother." Shen Lianting said suddenly.

"But I can't take them back openly, I can only let them sit there, and I can only watch them being taken over by these thieves..."

"And my mother was cheated of everything." His self-deprecating eyes were full of coldness: "by my so-called father."

Ji Xiaoguang was speechless, subconsciously raised his hand, and touched Shen Lianting's long vertical hair.

He felt that something was overflowing, until today, he seemed to see the deepest hatred deep in Shen Lianting's heart.

[The author has something to say]: Because there is a plot to go, there are foreshadowings and so on are slowly beginning to be revealed, and then I will slowly focus on the scenes of attacking and accepting, probably not too many supporting roles
