Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

Chapter 25 Nameless Fire

Chu Xinle was stunned for a moment, grabbed Xing Yanhong's skirt and pulled it towards herself, nose to nose, clouds and mist entangled, and said with a smile: "Then what should we do? We can only get dirty together."

With the sound of footsteps in front of her, Chu Xinle grabbed Xing Yanhong and hid behind the closet. The space behind was not too big, so it could only accommodate one person.

Xing Yanhong never expected that there could be a secret room in this room that lacked everything.

The closet was opened, and the creaking sound of the wood was only separated from the two by a sandalwood board. Chu Xinle pressed Xing Yanhong against the wall. The narrow space made it impossible for the two to move freely. It was even more inseparable than it seemed just now.

"You..." Xing Yanhong was rubbed against by Chu Xinle, he just wanted to open his mouth to signal Chu Xinle to leave, but he covered his mouth with his cold palm, Xing Yanhong lowered his eyes to see Chu Xinle's expression , and darkened a little bit.

He clearly knew that before Chu Xinle became Qinchuan ghost king, he practiced bow and archery with Xue Man at the Xue family. How many people are good, but who knows, it's so good that even the secret room in the room is known.

Thinking of this, Xing Yanhong's face darkened again.

There was the rustling sound of undressing outside, Chu Xinle listened intently, feeling a hot, soft and slippery patch on her cold palm, her fingertips twitched slightly, Chu Xinle raised her eyes to look at Xing Yanhong, and Xing Yanhong was always looking at him , looking at each other, Xing Yanhong touched his palm a few more times provocatively.

The sound outside stopped, presumably Xue Man was arranging his clothes.

Chu Xinle's eyes full of desire hooked up, as if she felt something that was getting bigger and bigger, she blinked her eyes, and leaned back to distance herself from Xing Yanhong, but stretched her head up, covering Xing Yanhong's body Kiss on the back of the hand.

Footsteps sounded, Xue Man seemed to have finished tidying up, and talking to Cheng Jie, Xing Yanhong heard the sound of the door being opened and closed again.

The two didn't go out right away, but listened patiently for a while to make sure they had left before going out from the steamy secret room.

Chu Xinle didn't take another look at Xing Yanhong, and raised her foot to walk out.

"Yi An can't wait to see Xue Man?" Xing Yanhong said.

Chu Xinle stopped at the door, looked at Xing Yanhong, nodded and shook her head, as if thinking about something.

"It's better to miss him than to miss me." Xing Yanhong stepped forward and put on his hat that had been rubbed off.

Chu Xinle nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "That's impossible, I'm afraid of you."

Xing Yanhong raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked: "The third son treats you well, why are you afraid?"

Chu Xinle smiled even more, and her eyes looked affectionately: "Because..." The dark eyes moved down from Xing Yanhong's face, and stopped at a certain place slowly and sincerely, and the words he said seemed to be in Xing Yanhong's eyes. The air blown out of the ear.

"The third son is big."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xing Yanhong's reaction, he opened the door and went out. He walked quickly and left the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Xing Yanhong stared at the direction where Chu Xinle disappeared, raised his hand and unconsciously tapped on the eagle pattern on the side of his neck.

The hot air that was originally accumulated in Xing Yanhong disappeared without a trace when the cool wind blew on the road. Chu Xinle rushed back the moment Xue Man buried him.

Chen Fan saluted Xue Man, passed Xue Man and stood beside Chu Xinle, Xue Man came in and saw this unknown person, just about to open his mouth to ask, saw Chen Fan pass him, then turned around, the two of them just like that Standing with eyes facing each other.

The smile on Chu Xinle's face was a bit stiff, Xue Man looked much more mature than two years ago, his original childishness was concealed, he was forced to become the head of the Xue family, and took up the heavy responsibility of the Xue family when he was supposed to be having fun, Only two years later, Chu Xinle realized that he was a ruthless stranger to her, so he put on the green armor again, the same as when he went to kill him a year ago.

"You are Shi Jiaming, the second son of the Shi family?" Xue Man didn't like this man's smile, and frowned unconsciously.

Chu Xinlequan pretended not to see him, bowed politely to him, and said, "Exactly."

"It's quite strange this year. Patriarch Shi actually sent a concubine son here. Is Shi Zhenming dead?" Xue Man has always spoken badly. If it wasn't for his surname Xue, he might have offended the rest of the family already.

Cheng Jie stretched out his hand to pat Xue Man on the shoulder, smiled apologetically at Chu Xinle, and said respectfully, "Second Master Shi, my master is outspoken and doesn't know how to speak, but there is absolutely no malice. If Second Master Shi is unhappy, I am here I apologize for missing you, my master."

It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. The two people who grew up together should become more and more alike, but the personalities of Xue Man and Cheng Jie have formed two extremes.

Chu Xinle smiled even more, quickly waved her hands, and said politely: "Well, Patriarch Xue has a straightforward temper, and I appreciate it."

"I also invite Second Master Shi to sit down." Cheng Jie asked the two to sit down, and then ordered the maid to pour tea for them.

Xue Man took a sip of tea and said, "Second Young Master Shi must be aware of the procedures of previous years, so there is no need to say more, and the medicinal materials will be transported away tomorrow."

Chu Xinle sipped her tea, smiled without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, Xue Man hasn't changed much after all, he still has such a temper, everything in his heart is written on his face, and he won't hide it at all, just by looking at him, he can see through all the things in his heart.

However, Chu Xinle smiled instead of anger, because the belated sense of familiarity turned out to be somewhat pleasant.

"No rush." ​​Chu Xinle put down the teacup, and rubbed her fingertips back and forth along the porcelain pattern.

"Why, Second Young Master Shi has something else to do?" Xue Man seemed to have noticed something, biting the word "other" very hard.

The winter in Langya is different from that in Runan. The winter wind in Runan is fierce and biting, and it snows all day long. It is impossible to stay outside. But Langya is different. Its winter is gradual and not as intense as in Runan. She can stand upright, but before she knows it, the cold will seep through her heavy clothes and cannot be removed for a long time. The ice on Chu Xinle's hands and feet doesn't even work with the heater, but the heat in her chest makes her a little stuffy.

"There is one thing." Chu Xinle raised her eyes to look at Xue Man, polite and polite, but she hesitated to speak, and then she looked at Cheng Jie who was standing beside Xue Man.

Xue Man understood what he meant and put down the teacup.

Cheng Jie naturally understood, he respectfully said to the two: "Master, I'll go and see if lunch is out, Second Young Master Shi, excuse me."

After saying that, he lifted his feet and walked out, only took two or three steps, and was stopped by Xue Man.

"You are not an outsider, stay here." Xue Man ordered.

Cheng Jie turned around, seemingly caught in a dilemma.

"Cheng Jie, have you forgotten who is your master?" Seeing him not moving, Xue Man looked displeased and spoke with a bit of emphasis.

Then Cheng Jie walked towards Xue Man and stood in the same position as before.

"Second Master Shi, if you have anything to say, just say it, and if you don't want to say it, just leave." Xue Man's intention to see off the guests was obvious.

As if she didn't understand, Chu Xinle raised her hand to take a sip of tea, it was already cold.

"Since Patriarch Xue said he wanted to stay, I believed him." Chu Xinle smiled politely, being kind and friendly, which made Xue Man look at him differently.

"Langya is prosperous this year, and the people are happy and peaceful, which is really enviable." Chu Xinle changed the subject, and suddenly chatted about the ordinary things in Langya.

If ordinary people can still continue the conversation, is Xue Man an ordinary person?No, he didn't want to beat around the bush or make insinuations, but went straight to what he liked the most.

"You are sitting here just to chat with me? Second Young Master Shi, if you have enough time, go outside and have some fun. I don't want to listen to you talking about these things." Xue Man was not polite, but This made Cheng Jie anxious on the sidelines.

"You..." Chen Fan stood aside, seeing Xue Man's attitude, couldn't hold back for a while, just about to refute, but was stopped by Chu Xinle.

"Patriarch Xue, since you don't want to go through those cutscenes, let's go straight." Chu Xinle withdrew her hand from rubbing the teacup, the cup was so cold that the walls were so cold that her hands were already numb.

"Qinchuan Fengtian can be said to be the second city with the largest number of people in the Central Plains, excluding the subsidiary towns of the second city. With these two major cities alone, there are more than Langya Lin'anli combined. Now that bandits are rampant, Qinchuan Fengtian has become a den of bandits. Ordinary people turned into refugees and ran around. Jiuyuan is far away from Runan, and Lin'an has been squeezed into a shelter by refugees, but the refugees from the two continents, one Lin'an is far from enough, they don't have much food and experience to escape. To a further place, Patriarch Xue, where do you think they will go?"

The wooden window was wide open, and the cold air from outside poured in, which was actually much colder than before.

Where it will go is obvious.

"So, what are you going to say?" Xue Man has a strong nature. Although he was forced to take over the Xue family, he swallowed his broken teeth in his stomach. It was even more prosperous than that time, when suddenly someone tore away the extravagant and bright exterior, faced the bloody truth and asked him what to do, it seemed to be ridiculed, but also seemed to be contemptuous, in short, the fire in Xue Man's heart was aroused.

"Patriarch Xue, you can't stop it. The people are like water. They can be calm and unintentionally drift with the tide, but they can also be turbulent. Together, they can make your two years of hard work come to nothing." Chu Xinle ignored his words Annoyed, still speaking kindly and affectionately, like a heart-to-heart conversation between brothers.

"Young Master Cheng Jie, what do you want to say?" He suddenly stopped and looked at Cheng Jie, as if he was listening to his opinion.

Cheng Jie glanced at Xue Man, seeing that he didn't shut himself up, he looked courteous, and said, "I seem to have understood the purpose of Second Master Shi's visit this time, presumably transporting medicine is just a cover to deceive others, forming an alliance is Shi Second Young Master's real purpose."

"Master Cheng Jie is really a smart man." Chu Xinle clapped his hands together and praised.

"Second Master Shi is absurdly praised." Cheng Jie said.

Chu Xinlefu looked at Xue Man on the opposite side again, and asked, "So what does Patriarch Xue mean?"

Is this alliance to end or not to end?If it is a knot, it means that Xue Man has to obey the Shi family, but if it is not, the Xue family alone cannot guarantee that Langya will remain happy in the future.

"There's no rush on this matter. Patriarch Xue thinks it through, and it won't be too late for me to reply." Chu Xinle gave Xue Man enough time to circle the pros and cons.

"You?" Not the Shi family?

Xue Man heard the deep meaning.

Chu Xin laughed without saying a word, and answered the wrong question: "It seems that it's not too early today, Shi Mou will not disturb Patriarch Xue's rest, so he will take his leave first." Saluting with Xue Man, he was sent out by Cheng Jie.

"Second Young Master Shi." Cheng Jie called to stop him when he was at the door.

Chu Xinle turned around and waited quietly for his next words.

"I don't want Master to be too tired..." He sighed, and asked, "Second Master Shi has a solution?"

Chu Xinle tightened the cloak around her body, and said with a smile, "It depends on what your master thinks."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cheng Jie's answer, he walked towards the inn for a walk.

Cheng Jie returned to the front hall, Xue Man was still sitting there, looking sideways at Chu Xinle's unfinished half cup of tea.

"What do you think of this Second Young Master Shi?" Xue Man asked.

Cheng Jie hadn't stood still yet, the sudden question made him a little dazed, but he replied immediately: "Second Master Shi and the First Master Shi have very different temperaments, this young master seems to talk kindly, but..." Cheng Jie Glancing at Xue Man, he continued: "Having been with him for a while, you can find that this person has deep thoughts and is not as kind as his face."

Xue Man curled up his fingers on the table, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling an inexplicable irritability towards the second son of the Shi family.

He didn't take a carriage, and felt that walking was more comfortable than a rickety carriage, but the restaurant he lived in was not too close to Xue's residence, and at his walking speed, it was almost time for dinner when he returned.

Chen Fan followed behind, walking at Chu Xinle's pace.

"Go back first, and tell the people from Shi's family, don't waste time tonight, rest early, and they will be busy tomorrow morning." Chu Xinle ordered.

Chen Fan was a little hesitant and asked, "The master is alone..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll walk slowly, there's no rush." ​​Chu Xinle waved at him, signaling him to go to work.

Duchen Deling stopped hesitating and quickened his pace. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the crowd without even being able to find a shadow.

The cold wind is not as suffocating as Runan's, it blows on the face, but it is a bit refreshing, today is a cloudy day, there is no sun, it is gray, it should be the third watch of the sun, but it is gloomy like the sun is setting Same.

"Gulu——" her stomach growled twice, and Chu Xinle realized that it was time to eat, and reached out to take out the purse on her body, only to find that the purse was in Chenfan's place, and she was penniless.

Desperately looking at the noodle stall not far away, the billowing white smoke mixed with the smell of minced meat came over, but unfortunately he didn't even have the copper coins to buy the noodles.

He sighed and walked forward again, scolding Xing Yanhong a thousand times in his heart.

The people who just said they wanted to be dirty together will disappear when they are short of money.

Chu Xinle withdrew her eyes, and just a few steps away, she was blocked by several people.

The visitor was tall and tall, looking at Chu Xinle as if he was going to swallow him up.

"Beauty, where are you going alone?" A few people stepped aside, and a man flashed out. He was no taller than Chu Xinle, but he still looked good. He was dressed much richer than those people. He should be a rich young man from some wealthy family.

Who would have thought that if you go out for a walk and have no money on you, there will still be people who want to rob sex.
