"In that case, let's go into the inner hall. This place is too narrow."
Cheng Qiao let go of his hand and retracted the golden thread wrapped around Yan Lingji's body. His whole body returned to normal, he jumped down and sat down, and Shi Shiran walked towards the inner hall.
After entering Yan Lingji's fragrant boudoir,
Cheng Qiao walked straight to the bed and sat down, crossing his legs calmly.
Although they experienced a stormy and snowy night in the first half of the night, it is normal for young people to be angry.
Silently finding a reason, Cheng Qiao silently recited the Mind-Purifying Mantra, and soon calmed down and returned to his normal sitting posture.
Yan Lingji hesitated in the outer hall for a while, and finally stepped into the inner hall honestly, lowered her head and sat down under the dressing mirror.
"Stop being a coward,
Come here quickly, fight early and finish early."
Cheng Qiao burst out laughing when he saw Yan Lingji's appearance, and then said with a straight face.
"Master Hou, can you not hit that place? How about I give you a kiss?"
Seeing that there was no way to pretend it was over, Yan Lingji stood up and turned to look at Cheng Qiao, with a look of pity on her face, and she acted coquettishly. The softness in her voice became much more intense, but the charm was missing. It was really shocking. It’s hard to bear the call.
However, Cheng Qiao had just used the Mind Purifying Mantra to dissipate the restlessness in his heart, and his mentality was basically in a state of calm, so he didn't want to follow Yan Lingji's tricks at all.
Still keeping a straight face.
"Come here and hit me a few more times."
You can't give Yan Lingji a good look at this time, otherwise Yan Lingji will definitely push the envelope, and it is very likely that she will push the envelope in the future. She must know that one is one, two is two, and you must do what you say.
Although Yan Lingji is sometimes as gentle as water and sometimes as passionate as fire, she likes to tease people, but she is not a casual woman. In addition, she has not been imprisoned in a water prison by someone in the night in this life, so she is even more embarrassed about such things. Already.
Today's Yan Lingji will definitely not be able to leave the water prison without even wearing clothes, and she probably won't be able to let Wushuang Gui, a simple-minded, well-limbed wooden person, look at her naked.
When they came out of the water prison, the audience couldn't see anything, but the people inside certainly couldn't avoid seeing something. It's just that except for the dumb Wushuang ghost, everyone else was dead.
Seeing that the method didn't work, the helpless Yan Lingji immediately restrained her pitiful expression and became worried.
He walked quickly to the bed with an expressionless face, and then threw himself on the bed,
Cover your head with your hands.
"Fight him, and he'll be beaten to death."
An aggrieved and slightly dull voice sounded, as if he had received a huge grievance.
Cheng Qiao: "..."
At this time, I didn't forget to play tricks. It was really speechless, but it seemed to be quite interesting.
"I suggest you find a stick to bite into your mouth to avoid biting your tongue."
Since I still want to be a monster, I will play with you, Cheng Qiao said coldly, holding back his laughter.
Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji jumped up from the bed and sat next to Ying Zheng. She looked at Cheng Qiao in disbelief and said, "How thick of a whip are you going to use to beat me?"
"How serious are you going to do?"
"I am your woman, do you still have humanity?"
He asked three questions in a row, pointing directly to the issue of human nature.
"Stop talking nonsense and get down!" Cheng Qiao wanted to laugh, but held it back and shouted expressionlessly.
Yan Lingji wrinkled her nose in frustration, a layer of mist seemed to appear in her eyes, and she stubbornly turned her head and threw herself on the bed again.
The next moment, Cheng Qiao started to take action.
"Huh?"
"Didn't you mean to use a whip?"
"I have changed my mind, can't I?"
"You...you are not doing this at all, you are deliberately taking advantage of me!"
"You can't say that the guesses are exactly the same, you can only say that they are completely consistent."
Yan Lingji: "..."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Yan Lingji turned over and lay on her back on the bed, her pretty face flushed, the blush staining her small and crystal ears, her slender white neck, her eyes watery, her slender and round legs together, slender Her white calves hung outside the bed.
Cheng Qiao also lay on his back next to Yan Lingji. He didn't speak for a while, with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about some truth in life.
Neither of them spoke, and they lay quietly side by side. The palace fell into silence. After an unknown amount of time, Yan Lingji finally couldn't help but speak.
"What are you thinking about?"
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Yan Lingji got to know Cheng Qiao initially, and realized that Cheng Qiao seemed different from the powerful people he had met. He was not as worried as when he first met. He was a lot bolder, and he was not talking enough. , it was time to reach out and give Cheng Qiao a push.
"I'm wondering whether my future children will be more like you or more like me?"
Cheng Qiao turned his head slightly and looked at Yan Lingji, half smiling.
In fact, Cheng Qiao was certainly not thinking about this issue in his mind, he just said it casually to tease Yan Lingji.
child?
The current Yan Lingji could not withstand this problem and immediately turned over to avoid Cheng Qiao's gaze, leaving only Cheng Qiao with her smooth, shiny, fragrant black hair and a curvy back curve.
But Yan Lingji is Yan Lingji after all, and her talent for teasing people seems to be innate. After a while, she turned around again, lying on her back and looking at the dome of the palace. Her pretty face, which was as exquisite as the masterpiece of the Creator, smiled charmingly and her pink lips Move.
"Why can't one be like you and the other be like me?"
"That makes sense, haha, then let's work hard tonight."
Cheng Qiao gave a bad laugh and stretched out his hands as if to take action. Suddenly, Yan Lingji was so frightened that her true colors were revealed and she shrank to the corner of the bed in panic.
"No, I just met you and I'm not ready yet."
After finishing speaking, she seemed to notice that her tone was a little harsh and her reaction was a little loud. Yan Lingji, who was afraid of angering Cheng Qiao, quickly made up for it.
"Master Hou, can you please give me some more time? I want to get acquainted with Master Hou a little more."
This time Cheng Qiao didn't do anything wrong. He stretched out his hand to hold one of Yan Lingji's hands. The tentacles were as warm as jade and as smooth as fat. He said seriously: "Don't worry, I'm not that impatient. As long as you don't make me angry, , I don’t think there’s any problem with you.”
Suddenly being held by the hand, Yan Lingji was startled at first, thinking that Cheng Qiao was going to show off his bestiality. The previous fight had already shown that her strength was far inferior to the unfathomable man in front of her.
If the other party really wanted to...she really had no choice. The more she resisted, the more serious the consequences might be.
After hearing what she said, Yan Lingji finally felt relieved, and reciprocated the favor by squeezing Cheng Qiao's big hand, with a grateful look on her face, and whispered: "Thank you."
"Don't worry. Although I am a lecherous person, I still have basic respect for my women."
The meaning of this sentence is that people who are not good at reading comprehension may not grasp the key points. Yan Lingji has not only practiced martial arts in the mansion in the past few years, but also read a lot of books that she is interested in to relieve her boredom. Her reading ability is barely enough. .
After reading the key point of this sentence, "one's own woman", in other words, one is not so polite to women who are not one's own women.
"I believe that the Marquis, if another powerful man had the power and strength of the Marquis, he would have wiped me out long ago."
Yan Lingji opened her eyes as deep as the stars and looked at Cheng Qiao. She smiled slightly, like winter snow melting into spring, or like flowers blooming. Her voice was as gentle as water, which made Cheng Qiao feel slightly absent-minded.
Cheng Qiao's absence was noticed by Yan Lingji, and she couldn't help but feel some pride and some other thoughts in her heart.
Maybe it was a blessing for her to follow the man in front of her. He could protect her, help her master, and, by the way, maybe even help her find her brother.
The disappearance of her younger brother is Yan Lingji's biggest obsession. Although Yan Lingji's brother is probably dead, Yan Lingji is still unwilling to give up that glimmer of hope before seeing the body.
"Master Hou, I have something to ask you." Yan Lingji said softly.
Thinking of her younger brother, Yan Lingji couldn't calm down. If she had let the man in front of her take action earlier, she might have been able to find her brother earlier.
"If you have anything, just ask." Cheng Qiao played with Yan Lingji's little hand and said casually.
"I once had a younger brother. She disappeared after a fire when she was a child, but I didn't find his body, and none of the charred bodies looked like my younger brother."
"So I think my brother is still alive. I have been looking for him. Lord...Prince Tianze also helped me look for him, but he has never been found."
"Master Marquis, you are the Marquis of Qin State. You have a high and powerful position. Can you..."
Yan Lingji looked pleading, but was interrupted by Cheng Qiao before she could finish her words.
"Of course you can. You are my woman, and your brother is at least half my brother."
"Tell me the characteristics, and when daybreak I will send someone to pass the clues back to the Luowang headquarters in Xianyang for them to dispatch."
"But I can't guarantee whether it can be found out. After all, so many years have passed."
"Whether it can be found out or not, I am extremely grateful to Mr. Hou."
Seeing Cheng Qiao agreeing so readily, Yan Lingji was overjoyed. She leaned over and kissed Cheng Qiao's left cheek, leaving a faint pink lip mark.
Then, Yan Lingji told all the characteristics of her younger brother when he was a child. In order to increase the possibility of finding him, she also told details such as his catchphrase, what he liked, etc. Everything was detailed, and it was rare to show his long-winded side.
Cheng Qiao listened patiently and said, "I understand."
"Does the Marquis really remember it?"
Concern leads to chaos. Yan Lingji was afraid that Cheng Qiao would forget even a little bit, so she couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Qiao had no choice but to repeat what Yan Lingji said, but it was not so verbose and the language was more concise, but the main points were still there.
Seeing that Cheng Qiao remembered it so clearly and was really taken by her, Yan Lingji was moved and hugged Cheng Qiao, buried her head in Cheng Qiao's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
"Okay, one family doesn't speak two languages. Didn't you just say that one of the children looks like you and the other looks like me?"
Cheng Qiao felt Yan Lingji's weakness at this moment, like a homeless little wild cat...
Therefore, he did not make any small moves or have any charming thoughts. He put his arm around Yan Lingji's waist with one hand and gently stroked her long black and silky hair with the other hand, with a gentle and soothing voice.
Yan Lingji stopped talking after hearing this and leaned quietly in Cheng Qiao's arms, enjoying the warmth and tranquility at the moment.
I don't know how long it took, but Cheng Qiao felt that Yan Lingji's mood was almost stable, so he said, "If you have the opportunity to see Tianze in the future, convey some words to me."
"What words?"
It was about Tianze, the former prince of Baiyue, and the person who had a deep affection for her. Yan Lingji suddenly cheered up, raised her head from Cheng Qiao's arms, and looked at Cheng Qiao with some anxiety.
"Don't be nervous, it's not a bad thing."
"Tell him that if he is willing to submit to Qin, Qin is willing to lend him strength and let him return to Baiyue."
"The price is to serve the Qin State before returning. The more merits he obtains, the stronger the Qin State will be to support his return to Baiyue."
"If you can become the king of Baiyue after your return, you must submit yourself to Qin and pay tribute!"
In fact, it is of course not enough to claim vassal status and pay tribute. The mountains and rivers of Baiyue must be included in the territory of Qin.
It's just that the Baiyue side is full of miasma, the climate is hot and humid, ferocious beasts and poisonous insects are everywhere, various highly independent Baiyue tribes are everywhere, and the culture is chaotic.
Conquering by force alone is not enough. You may be able to use force to deter for a while, but when the force is withdrawn, you will face endless rebellions.
The climate and terrain of Baiyue are not suitable for the Qin army to attack. The acclimatization alone is enough to cause large-scale obstacles. It is impossible for a large army to fully deploy in the mountains and forests, and the confrontation is only a small confrontation.
The Baiyue tribe doesn't want to fight you, so they go straight into the deep mountains and old forests. There's really nothing a large army can do about it. Once they retreat, they come back to harass you, which is very annoying.
Historically, Yingzheng spent a huge price to capture Baiyue and stationed so many troops in Baiyue just to intimidate Baiyue, consolidate the territory, and assimilate the occupied Baiyue.
Without enough force to deter you, the Baiyue tribe will not reason with you...
If you want to completely capture Baiyue, in addition to force, you need more corresponding policies, which will inevitably take time to settle. You can't rush it, you need to take it slow.
Of course, there is no need to explain this clearly to Yan Lingji.
"You are an important reason why he can have this opportunity. Qin State does not have other personnel."
Finally, Cheng Qiao looked at Yan Lingji's pretty face and added.
When chasing a girl, you must not do stupid things like silently giving and not letting the other party know that you are silently moved. That is a stick!
The girl must know that even if she hides it for a while, she must eventually tell her.
If you don't let the girl know, there is 100% no chance. If you let the girl know, there is still a certain chance.
Of course, love is a two-way street, and you need to know when to stop. Paying without principles and being crazy and self-motivated is like licking the dog.
Hearing Cheng Qiao's words, Yan Lingji felt happy and moved in her heart. She gave him another kiss, her eyes were as full as water, and she said softly: "I represent Prince Tianze and those who have been displaced because of the two countries Han and Chu. The people of Baiyue thank you."
Cheng Qiao didn't agree to Tianze's decision because he had no choice. No country except Qin was willing to help him.
If Tianze doesn't know how to promote, Cheng Qiao doesn't mind killing Tianze secretly.
"It's getting late. If you want to thank me, just rest with me for a while."
Cheng Qiao smiled gently and pointed at the pillow and quilt next to him.
"OK."
Yan Lingji simply agreed.
Cheng Qiao stood up and jumped off the bed, standing with his arms spread out. Yan Lingji was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she could help undress. She put Cheng Qiao into the bed with a shy expression and pulled the quilt over her.
Then he turned his back to Cheng Qiao, shyly took off his orange-gold slit skirt, and finally slipped into the quilt wearing an orange-yellow silk undershirt.
"Wear less?"
Cheng Qiao looked at Yan Lingji who got into bed and was dressed quite tightly and smiled.
"Next time, I'll definitely go to sleep."
Yan Lingji waved her hand and all the lights in the inner hall were extinguished. She hugged Cheng Qiao's arm and lay down.
Cheng Qiao smiled helplessly and gave up, lying down and sleeping with the warm jade in his arms.
