Chapter 343 The Lord, Twelve Cities (1)(2/2)
After parting with the refugees, the large army broke out of camp and set off. However, Chen Baiqi did not return to his carriage, leaving Yao Li to lead the team. Danyun Niang took care of Ju who was still sleeping in the carriage, and she got into the Queen's carriage.
carriage.
As if she had expected her arrival, Hou Qing was waiting for her alone in the carriage, while Tou and Nasuo did not get on the carriage, but followed on horseback.
Whatever happened before, no matter whether it was ordinary or unusual, Hou Qing never showed up to interfere with her. She knew that he was giving her the most basic respect, but she owed him an explanation.
After getting on the car, Chen Bai noticed that Hou Qing was making tea. The elegant fragrance of tea floated in the car, making people feel relaxed.
Chen Baiqi said nothing, and then Hou Qing handed her a glass. His eyes were as clear as moonlight, and there was a smile on his lips, filled with countless tender feelings.
Chen Baiqi was a little embarrassed to look at him. She lowered her eyes, put the cup to her lips, and took a small sip.
"how is the taste?"
"Fragrant, astringent, sweet and overflowing with sweetness."
She commented.
"Do you like it?"
Chen Baiqi thought for a moment: "Bitter first and then sweet, um, I like it."
Hou Qing laughed and poured her another glass.
"One more sip?"
Chen Bai nodded, but this time she frowned after drinking.
"How does it taste..."
"Sweet, fragrant, astringent, and bitter, right?" Hou Qing asked.
Chen Baiqi looked at him in surprise: "It's obviously the same one, why?"
Hou Qing also poured a cup, put it in his mouth to melt, and then swallowed it slowly.
"This tea is called reincarnation, one round is sweet and one round is bitter."
"What about round three?"
Hou Qing looked at her: "Are you still trying?"
Chen Bai nodded: "I've tried both the sweet and bitter ones. I want to know the results."
Hou Qing smiled: "Well, it's up to you."
He poured her another glass.
Chen Baiqi put it to his lips, paused, and then drank it all in one gulp.
After swallowing it, she was stunned.
Hou Qing asked: "What does it feel like?"
"...Tasteless." She looked at him and said in surprise: "There is only the fragrance of tea, but there is no bitterness or sweetness."
Hou Qing said: "Because the ambiguity has faded, the sweetness and bitterness have also faded away, and what is left is the purest tea flavor. Isn't it interesting?"
Chen Bai's eyes were filled with a smile, and he said with some interest: "Indeed, this tea is called reincarnation, and the end of reincarnation is to return to the beginning."
"Is your mood much calmer?" Hou Qing asked her softly.
The smile on Chen Bai's lips froze, and she looked at him.
"You know everything."
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then told the big story.
After listening to her story, Hou Qing asked her: "If he wakes up, how will you explain your current identity to him?"
Chen Baiqi thought for a while: "The origin of Danyun Niang is unknown, and I can't confirm the relationship between Ju and her yet, so I'll put this matter on hold for a while."
Hou Qing greeted him, his voice as intoxicating as smoked wine.
"You don't trust him anymore? Because he recognized another sister-in-law as a girl?"
Chen Bai glared at him with a straight face: "I never doubted him."
"Look, if you provoke me casually, you will be unhappy. It seems that this giant is really important to you." Hou Qing said with a smile.
Chen Baiqi said: "You are not allowed to sow discord between me and him."
Hou Qing was warned by her, so she had to change the topic to another topic.
"I just received pre-war news that Prince Zihuang has led the Zihuang Palace to take the lead in breaking through the Chu State's northern defense line, Xianbian Bin City."
"So fast?" Chen Baiqi was surprised.
Hou Qing smiled at her: "How else do you think he got the name God of War?"
Chen Baiqi thought for a moment: "Wei State has taken the lead in capturing a city of Chu State. Where is Zhao State?"
Hou Qing looked relaxed and shook his head with a calm attitude: "There is no rush, there is no need to fight for this."
Looking at his appearance, Chen Baiqi knew that this man was playing a big game of chess. She said, "What is your plan?"
Hou Qing teased: "You want to know?"
Chen Baiqi replied very straightforwardly: "I want to."
He chuckled softly, his eyes turning exquisitely, like the snow-colored sunshine, incredibly warm.
"I will tell you whatever you want to know."
He said these words affectionately like a confession.
