Once magnificent, now brilliant

Bai Junyu took the cloak and put it on Qi Xiang, and Bai Rucai drove to the courtyard.

"Didn't Master tell you to go to bed early, why wait for me here?" Qi Xiang was happy in her heart, but felt that Bai Junyu didn't care much about her body.

"There are few pedestrians on the road late at night, so I don't worry about you." Bai Junyu looked at Qi Xiang. The light in the car was very dark, but Qi Xiang's bright eyes could still be seen, and Qi Xiang's emotions could not be seen, but her tone sounded happy Yes, so he can rest assured.

Qi Xiang clasped his hands together, not daring to make unnecessary moves because of his happiness, "The prince sent me off."

"He is a foreigner and doesn't know the situation in central Beijing. If you go back too late and encounter city patrolling troops to interrogate you, it will be troublesome." There is no curfew in Beijing, but there will be city patrolling troops patrolling the city to ensure the safety of the people.Those who enter and exit the Night Street are not counted. If someone walks around in the middle of the night in other places, they will definitely be asked a question.

It is indeed much more convenient to have Bai Junyu to send him back, Qi Xiang smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's nothing. Are you full for dinner?" Bai Junyu was relieved that Qi Xiang didn't smell alcohol, at least that Gongxi didn't make any wrong decisions.

"I'm full. I left halfway, it's a disappointment, right?" Even though Bai Junyu helped him make the choice, he still felt that he didn't do well.

"No." To be precise, he wasn't disappointed, but he was a little concerned about Gong Xizhi, "You have a good relationship with the prince? I haven't heard you mention it before."

There is nothing unexplainable about their relationship. Qi Xiang told Bai Junyu about the process of the two getting acquainted, and then said: "The prince is an unassuming person. He may be protected by his elder brother. He does things more casually. As soon as he came out. He came to me just to see me, not to argue with you, and you will know when you have a chance to spend more time together in the future."

"Is he married?" Bai Junyu observed Qi Xiang's expression.

"Not yet." Qi Xiang's tone was casual and flat, no different from usual chat.

"Did Prince Jinmao consider marriage for his younger brother?" The Jinmao family got married relatively early, which is also due to the fact that their clan is small and needs to grow through breeding offspring, and they are not short of money, so they can afford to raise as many children as possible.

Qi Xiang lowered his voice, he doesn't like to gossip, but it's okay to tell Bai Junyu about it, "The prince likes men, so the crown prince doesn't interfere with his marriage. And he has been traveling around, without being sure, and he hasn't met anyone." The right person, so still a person to this day."

Bai Junyu's heart was shocked - like men? !That……

He wanted to ask, since the prince likes men and treats you so well, do you...

But rationality prevented him from asking, and he didn't want to know the answer.If he doesn't know the answer, he can do what he wants. This kind of escapism is not advisable, but now he is a person with limited mobility, even if he wants to, he can't become Qi Xiang's burden.

"You...don't think it's strange that he likes men?" Bai Junyu asked instead.

Qi Xiang's face turned serious, and his voice became much softer, "Do you think it's strange?"

If Bai Junyu hates it, then he really has no chance at all. Even if this kind of sad feeling is not real, it is still a foreseeable pain.

Why did Bai Junyu feel strange, and hurriedly said: "No. It's just that you looked like a little scholar before, I thought you couldn't understand."

Qi Xiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled again, "I am such an adult, so many things are naturally not as rigid as learning. Love has many forms, as long as it is not for the purpose of harming others, it is fine. "

With Qi Xiang's words, Bai Junyu also felt much more relaxed, "It's really involuntary to fall in love with someone."

Qi Xiang thought he was thinking about He Yuen, so she stopped answering the conversation.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Qi Xiang wanted to take off the cloak and return it to Bai Junyu.

Bai Junyu pressed his hand and said, "It's cold outside, don't get caught in the wind. It's the same with me next time."

Qi Xiang didn't want to get sick either, but she was the one who felt uncomfortable, so she wasn't polite to him.Maybe she was greedy for the warmth of Bai Junyu's hands, but Qi Xiang didn't pull her hands away, she just told her

: "Go back to bed early, if Master knows that you didn't go to bed on time, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."

His master has the problem that all doctors have - he doesn't like disobedient patients - of course, he is not an obedient patient, but the master understands him, so he can't bear to get angry with him.

Bai Junyu helped him tidy up his cloak, "If you are really scolded, please help me beg."

"If it's useful, should I remind you?"

Bai Junyu laughed, "Okay, you go in quietly, if Mr. Que sees it and asks, just say that I kept Bai Ru to send you off."

This made Qi Xiang feel like he was cheating in class, and he didn't want to delay his rest time, so he said softly: "I will do my best, be careful on the way."

Shi Zhou didn't notice this, so Bai Junyu was lucky.

In a blink of an eye it was time for the parade, Qi Xiang asked Master and Pan Butler if they wanted to go, but both refused.

But Shi Zhou was too lazy to join in the excitement, and it would be better if he didn't go.Butler Pan has bad legs and he doesn't want to crowd people.

Xianzheng occupies a good place, the first row, and there are not too many people. There are patrol troops to maintain order, but they do not obstruct the line of sight.

Bai Junyu had difficulty moving, so he was placed among them. On the left were Rong Cang and Xian Xuan, and on the right were Tai Tuo and Qi Xiang. Xiao Song, Bai Ru and a few servants stood behind them, and they could see clearly.

The weather is good today, with a cool breeze blowing, so that the crowded scene will not be too hot.

From time to time, Bai Junyu paid attention to Qi Xiang's situation. Qi Xiang was standing beside him, and he was always afraid that others would squeeze him or hit him.

The parade team went from far to near, all the way from the post house to the palace.In front of them are dancers of various ethnic groups, and the band behind them is playing their characteristic music, making them dance and move forward.In the middle is the symphony band. Since the dance troupe in front is already lively enough, their music is easily covered up, so they simply don’t join in the fun. They just sit in the car and pass by, only displaying their instruments, which is not often seen in Dachuan.Behind them is the group of treasures, all kinds of treasures are placed in this group, there are all gold screens, colorful coral bonsai, a person-high jade carving Pixiu, a pipa inlaid with jade and pearls, etc., all of which are expensive. , Picking out a random piece can make ordinary people live for a year or two.

At the end of the team was the rare beasts, and this team was also huge in number, so they walked slowly in order not to startle them.Most of the rare animals are kept in cages, only horses and elephants, which are not easy to hurt and will not run around, walk outside. They are escorted by the city army and people from the Ministry of Rites. They are afraid that foreigners will see them off. Hands and feet hurt passers-by.

The noise of the people was louder and louder, obviously very happy.Xian Xing and the others were also immersed in the bustle, chatting and laughing like ordinary people.

When the Zhen Beast team approached, the discussion became louder. Qi Xiang looked around, turned slightly, as if looking around, and moved his finger where no one was looking. With internal force, he pushed the latch on the tiger's cage.These cages are not locked, they are just plugged with the latches on the outside, and these latches have no partitions, just like the iron rods inserted there, they can be opened with a single yank.

This is obviously not the cage that Da Chuan used to hold such beasts. Da Chuan usually added several layers of locks to prevent these beasts from hurting the monarch.And this kind of cage is loved by foreigners. Most foreigners are proud of taming these beasts, so they don't like to lock them up, so the cages are easy to make.The Ministry of Rites obviously didn't think too much this time, and didn't make a replacement, giving Qi Xiang an opportunity.

The laughter was too loud, and the sound of the stone pushing the latch was firmly covered.But the already irritable tiger in the cage discovered this, and seemed to observe it carefully for a while, making sure that the door was moving slightly, but it couldn't suppress its animal instincts. With a wave of the tiger's paw, the door was slapped open.

When the city soldiers and officials following the tiger's cage found out, the tiger had already jumped out and was standing by the side of the road baring its teeth and growling.

"Ahhhhhhhh—the tiger is out of the cage!!"

"Please die!"

"Run, everyone, tigers are eating people!"

The scene was chaotic for a while, tearing the festive atmosphere to pieces.At the same time, the cage of the snow wolf in the rear was also opened, and the bird pretending to be a bird did not escape, nor did the city army maintaining order.

Thinking of such a mistake, he immediately became confused.

The chaotic scene aroused the tiger's animal nature even more, which is what Qi Xiang expected.But what he didn't expect was that in the chaos, they were the only ones who stood still and caught the tiger's attention.The tiger pounced on Taifu almost without hesitation.

"grandfather!"

The tiger moved so fast that a scholar like Xianzheng couldn't react in time.

Rong Cang wanted to push the Tutor away, but his movements were slow because of the wheelchair in the middle.But Bai Junyu couldn't use his strength at all while sitting, and the movement of pushing the master was not accurate.

It was Qi Xiang who reacted the most promptly, grabbed the Taifu's arm and took a few steps back.The Tai Tu couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

Xian Xuan and Rong Cang hurried over to help the Taifu.

The tiger flew in vain, but its animal nature was already activated, its fangs were exposed, and its round eyes stared at the immobile Bai Junyu.

Among the nearby servants helping to maintain order, Bai Ru first discovered the situation and shouted: "Master!"

At the end, the tiger jumped up and rushed towards Bai Junyu.

It was impossible for Bai Junyu to dodge. If he used his internal force to shake the tiger away, it might hit other people. Just as he was hesitating, a figure jumped on him, followed by a muffled groan, and the blood spread instantly, dyed blue. clothes.

"Wenjing... Wenjing!"

Bai Junyu looked at the blood in front of him, his veins popped out, and his eyes were red—Qi Xiang threw himself on him and helped him avoid the tiger's claws.The broken clothes and open flesh made Bai Junyu's eyes hurt, and his heart trembled with pain.He wanted to hug Qi Xiang, but he didn't dare, for fear of pressing on the wound and hurting Qi Xiang.He never hated the slow recovery of his legs, he thought it was only a matter of time, but at this moment he no longer thought so, if he recovered faster, he would not need Qi Xiang to protect him today.

The guards finally came to their senses and surrounded the tiger, but no one dared to go forward.Fortunately, several martial arts professionals were also watching the parade. After helping to evacuate the people, they went back to pack up the tigers.

"Wen Jing, you..." Bai Junyu grabbed Qi Xiang's hand, his heart was in a mess.

Qi Xiang was trembling with pain, those martial arts experts were his subordinates who had been arranged before, and he did this to prevent the second and third princes from getting any merit, so that their work would be wasted.Those subordinates hide in the crowd to protect the safety of the people in order to prevent wild beasts from attacking people. If they help at such a time, no one will be suspicious.Moreover, he made sure that there were no children or old people around, so he could control the scene better.It's just that he had calculated thousands of times, and he didn't calculate that the tiger would attack them.And he didn't let his subordinates stand near them, because he was afraid that Bai Junyu would be suspicious if he found out that there were many warriors around.

In the situation just now, he threw himself on Bai Junyu without any hesitation at all. He couldn't just sit and watch Bai Junyu get hurt. He did this. If he hurts Bai Junyu again, he might never be able to pay off this guilt in his life.

He didn't know what Bai Junyu's expression was like now, he just felt that his eyes were going black, and his last memory was that he grabbed Bai Junyu's trembling hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry", and he didn't know if Bai Junyu heard it clearly.

Wen Xiaojing had calculated the overall situation, but not the details.
