Yueyue sat opposite him, and while he was engrossed in eating, he took a closer look at his appearance. His skin was a bit dark, but he looked healthy and energetic. His face was neither too big nor too small, with a pointed chin and brows.
His facial features are delicate and good-looking. His eyes are dark and translucent, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, his eyebrows are long and black, and he has dimples when he smiles. He is the only one with dimples among the handsome guys she saw in ancient times. He is neither too tall nor short.
He's 1.78 meters tall, but he's not very strong and a little on the thin side.
"Eat more, you are good at martial arts, and you will be even more powerful if you are stronger. My husband-in-law eats three or four bowls of rice every meal!" She enthusiastically picked up vegetables and served soup for him, which moved his eyes with tears.
.
She suddenly became curious about the shy man in front of her, and couldn't help but ask: "Where are your family members?"
He said calmly: "They are all dead."
She felt sour in her heart. It was really pitiful for this big boy to be alone. She forced a smile to comfort him: "Hey, I don't have any relatives here anymore. From now on, we will share the same fate. Oh no, I still have my husband-in-law." At this point, she couldn't help but feel that
Somewhat strange: "You are so old and you haven't gotten married yet?" Twenty years old was not considered too young in ancient times. Those who matured precociously were already fathers. Not everyone can be like Mr. Pan, who is still young at the age of twenty.
I passed through thousands of flowers and not a single leaf touched me.
"No." Who would be willing to marry a man as poor as him who is also a bandit?
Her sympathy overflowed again. How come in ancient times, she encountered all these pitiful men who needed care. "My husband-in-law killed your **** elder brother, what will you do in the future?"
"I don't know." He hasn't figured out how to go in the future. For now, he needs to take good care of her first.
"You have good skills, what could you do? Join the army, catch the police, or follow the escort car to suppress the escort. It's better than being a bandit, don't you think?"
"Um."
When it was time to sleep, Yueyue figured out the question that had made her uneasy all day. He slept under a temporary shed outside the door.
She was heartbroken, but she couldn't bear it. She had better find her husband as soon as possible and return the house to him.
Zhao Changyuan waited until everything was quiet before dragging his exhausted body back to the Zhao Mansion. He had not slept for several days and nights. If he did not rest, he would probably fall directly on the road.
He pushed the door open and entered the house. He didn't bother to light the lamp or take off his clothes. He just fell down on the bed with dust all over his body. He breathed in the residual smell of his wife and let the dark sleep wash over his anxious body and mind.
Gradually surrounded.
Early the next morning, he was awakened by the sunshine outside the window and it was time to go find his wife. He washed up quickly and hurried out the door again.
There are such unlucky things in the world. Shortly after he left, Xiao Jun came to the door of Zhao's house again. Knowing that he had gone out, he silently retreated not far away to keep watch. This guard was a
All day long and in the dead of night, he was tired, thirsty and hungry, and there was no sign of Zhao Xiaobai's face. In desperation, he had no choice but to go home without finding anything.
Zhao Xiaobailian relied on himself to sleep all night, then wandered around Luoyang City until early in the morning before returning home disappointed.
After dawn, Xiao Juan told Yue Yue something that made her extremely excited. The alarm on the street was cleared and no one was hunting her anymore. This also meant that she could go out to look for Zhao Changyuan herself.
"I'd better go, I don't know what his family will do to you." Xiao Juan stopped her and reminded her kindly.
Yueyue was grateful for his thoughtfulness and listened to his words obediently. But soon after he went out, she felt out of breath. She had been stuck in this small house for too long, and she was about to collapse from boredom. So, she
After dressing myself up clean and fresh, I walked out of the house, closed the door, and walked to the lively market.
The familiar streets were still the same, but to her, they had a completely different meaning. Once upon a time, she was the daughter of a second-grade Taiwei family, but now, she is a monster that everyone calls and beats. People who pass by her
, one of them recognized her, pointed and made irresponsible remarks behind her. She listened and couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Everyone pushed her against the wall, not to mention that she was not a person at all, but she still aroused dissatisfaction.
Small waves. People in this world have been like this from ancient times to the present.
She secretly prayed in her heart that if she could meet Zhao Changyuan by chance, it would be great luck and fate. She hadn't seen him for a few days, and his features flashed through her mind. She missed his fresh and charming smell. She missed him so much.
The tight and wonderful feeling of her fingers on his skin, recalling these, could not help but bring out a subtle sweet and greasy taste in her heart.
While she was recalling Zhao Changyuan's face with a smile and narrowed eyes, another familiar face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, but she instantly became terrified.
Almost subconsciously, she immediately turned around and ran away. A thunderous roar sounded from behind: "Stop!"
The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and in just a moment, she was surrounded by a small group of cavalry. The people around her were so frightened that they retreated to a distance and watched quietly.
"Second...Second brother..." She raised her head and looked at him cautiously, crying secretly in her heart, her voice trembling in the air. She would definitely die today if she encountered Yang Jinyi's temper.
As expected, Yang Jinyi had an unhappy look on his face, and his voice was as loud as a firecracker, but what he said made her unbelievable: "You still recognize me as your second brother? Why are you running away?"
"I..." Aren't you afraid of being caught by their family? I thought she was a high-profile trainee inspector, but now she was in a situation like a rat crossing the street. The more I thought about it, the more useless she became.
He looked down at her with a majestic expression and an unquestionable tone: "I just want to ask you, are you willing to tell the truth with your conscience?"
She raised her head to meet his burning eyes, her eyes were clear and fearless: "If I lie, I will be punished by heaven and earth."
He nodded, expressing that he was satisfied with her attitude, and then asked directly: "Did you... kill my sister?"
"I didn't! I really didn't. If I had done it, I would have been trampled on like mud and buried in the wilderness." She spoke simply, with a clear conscience.
Yang Jinyi still looked down at her, his serious expression slowly turning into a warm and hearty smile: "I believe you. Come on, get on the horse, brother will take you to dinner." While extending his big hand to her, he said to the deputy general beside him.
: "Go find my brother-in-law, Shuangyue Restaurant, hurry up."
When Yueyue heard this, she was so happy. She could finally see the pretty boy and missed him so much.
"Yes, general!" the deputy general immediately rode away.
Looking at her dumbfounded expression, Yang Jinyi laughed again: "Still stunned? Get on the horse!"
Being lifted onto the horse by him, the grievances, warmth and gratitude accumulated in her heart...all the emotions surged into her throat. She couldn't hold back any of them. She grabbed the clothes behind him and leaned on his broad back and cried loudly: "Two
Brother...wuwuwuwu..." This was the first time that Gong Yueyue, an only child, felt that having a good brother was one of the happiest things in the world.
"Hahahaha! You worthless little thing! Let's go!" He laughed and then shouted loudly, leading his sister and soldiers through this bustling street filled with people.
Yang Jinyi disagreed with the downturn in her tone, and said with some pride: "Well, I will go to Kaifeng early tomorrow morning, and the emperor will personally bid farewell to my brother."
Yue Yue couldn't help but whispered: "Second brother, you must take care of yourself. No military achievements or glory are more important than your own life. We only hope you come back alive and well."
A wonderful light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Oh, don't worry. I can't bear to die as your brother and leave your little niece behind. She knew I was leaving these days, and she cried until her eyes were like walnuts."
When we got here, this rough general's eyes turned red, as if out of reluctance.
War is really not a good topic. Yang Jinyi looked at this girl who looked exactly like his sister and asked her curiously: "To be honest, when I hear other people talk about your matter, the more I hear it, the more confused I become. How about that?"
Let's talk face to face, and you tell your brother the truth. My brother doesn't believe you are a monster, nor does he believe you can kill people. As far as I know, you are not that kind of person."
Yueyue said in embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to tell the truth, it's just that I don't know if anyone will believe it." She really didn't want to be treated as a joke, and her story even seemed incredible to herself.
"Hey, if you don't tell me, how do you know no one will believe you? Tell me, maybe your brother will be the first to believe you."
Hearing what he said, there was no reason to be coy anymore. She took a sip of tea, held the tea cup in both hands, and said softly: "My real name is Gong Yueyue. Gong from Dong Gong, Yi from Yi."
At this time, Zhao Changyuan, who had been notified and rushed over, was walking quickly up the stairs and happened to hear her crucial opening remarks. He couldn't help but stand there in a daze, raised his ears and held his breath as he listened.
Hearing this, Yang Jinyi was dumbfounded, and Zhao Changyuan on the stairs was also dumbfounded, and his heart felt as if it had been soaked in vinegar. It turned out that Jiang Haoran was the one who almost had her.
"We, a family of three, originally lived a happy life. Jiang Haoran and I have reached the stage of discussing marriage."
At this time, the shopkeeper downstairs was preparing to serve food to the private room upstairs, but Zhao Changyuan stopped him with one hand and whispered: "Get out of the way first, don't let anyone come up."
"I'm a policeman. Well, police is the dialect of our hometown. It's what we call a policeman here. Jiang Haoran is also a policeman."
Yang Jinyi immediately looked at her with admiration: "Hey, I really can't tell that you are still a female detective."
No wonder she knew how to do kung fu. No wonder she insisted on working as an errand for Pan Zhuqing. It turned out that it was all because she and Jiang Haoran once worked together as agents. Thinking of this, Zhao Changyuan gave a bitter smile.
"When he and I were performing a mission together, I was accidentally shot with a cold arrow in the dark, which hit my heart...I fell unconscious on the spot."
Zhao Changyuan frowned and couldn't help but touch his chest with his hand. (To be continued)
