The white color of fish belly appeared in the east, and the small carriage pulled by black horses quietly left the unknown town just as the sun was about to rise.
Ye Jingtang was dressed in a black robe, with a bamboo hat on his head, and a chilong-ringed sword hanging across his waist. He was riding a horse slowly on the official road, scanning the endless gray wilderness.
The carriage was small and there was little furniture inside. A thin blanket was spread in the carriage.
Luo Ning put the quilt on her back and leaned on the carriage. After a night's rest, most of her limbs had recovered and she could move freely. However, she didn't sleep well last night, so she leaned on Sanniang's shoulder and closed her eyes to take a nap.
The bird that had been on guard all night lay in the carriage with its claws pointing upwards, rolling back and forth as the carriage rocked, but showed no sign of waking up.
As for Pei Xiangjun, who was leaning in the corner of the carriage, he hadn't felt sleepy at all since last night.
Pei Xiangjun put on his clothes and leaned his head against the wooden carriage. His mature cheeks had returned to their normal whiteness, with a faint hint of blush, and he looked out of the carriage through the gap in the swaying curtains.
Although I could only see the back of Jingtang, the sense of security exuded in my bones still made people unable to feel anxious or worried at any time. The comfortable situation would inevitably bring up countless distracting thoughts in my heart.
The assassination outside Baoyuan Gate may have been arranged by the Zhou family and Junshantai, or it may have been the gunman Duan Shenji. These were all risks brought to Jingtang by the Pei family and Honghualou.
Regardless of the vengeance of the eldest brother, the second brother, or the foundation of Honghua Building, she should have been responsible for it, but now it all fell on the shoulders in front of her, which inevitably made her feel a little bit like "I can't repay this love."
'The sigh.
Last night, when Jingtang treated her injuries, it was a matter of urgency. His eyes and expressions were very focused, just like a calm doctor, without the slightest intention of offending; so she also tried to treat it as a matter of urgency.
, don’t think about the relationship between men and women.
But in the end, Jingtang gave her a massage. After his fingers slipped into the waistband of her pants, the movements were not so calm. Although there was nothing unusual, the subtle changes in the strength of the fingers did not deceive her heartstrings.
She knew that something was stirring in Jingtang's heart. After all, he was a man. In that case, how could he be as calm as a saint...
But if your heart is not as calm as water, wouldn't it be like taking advantage of others secretly...
Pei Xiangjun's mind was spinning a thousand times, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He just secretly stared at his back outside the car window in a daze, wandering thousands of miles away, when he suddenly found that his arm was being hugged.
Pei Xiangjun came back to his senses and looked sideways, only to see the charming leader's wife leaning on her shoulder, her eyelashes twitching slightly, as if she was dreaming, her arms raised and wrapped around her arms, her cheeks were slightly red.
.
?!
What are you doing in your erotic dreams, you little fox? Are you taking me for granted?
Pei Xiangjun was probably bored, so he thought for a while, slightly raised his right hand that was being held, and touched the side of the leader's wife's leg.
"Hmm~~"
Luo Ning, who was sleeping, let out a slight murmur that seemed to be absent.
Pei Xiangjun had a strange look in his eyes and secretly said "Huh~" without waking Luo Ning, and continued to look out of the carriage.
————
Gulu gulu...
The wheels rolled over the loess official road and embarked on the road back to the capital.
Ye Jingtang rode a fierce horse and moved forward between the gray sky and earth. When he passed near Tiefuling, he turned around and took another look.
We discussed with each other yesterday and thought that the white bead might be some kind of magic medicine that Cheng Shilu had stolen from Beiliang.
But this still did not solve the problem. He and Cheng Shilu took medicine together, and Cheng Shilu had a mental breakdown but he became stronger.
It was a bit far-fetched to explain it with physical constitution and luck. After thinking about it for a night, he felt that the medicine might have some connection with him.
In order to solve the doubts in his mind, Ye Jingtang quietly ran up to Tiefuling Mountain to go to the stone chamber and check if there were any other clues.
It's a pity that the Cheng family did not preserve the crime scene. Hiding armor is a serious crime. The Cheng family could not explain clearly when the police officers came to investigate. The stone room had already been cleaned up, leaving only traces of the fight that day.
I am afraid that only the deceased Cheng Shilu knows the whole story.
Not being able to figure out the whole story for the time being, Ye Jingtang kept this in mind and hurried back to Beijing with the two women.
It was a day and a half's journey from Guangji back to the capital. We set off in the early morning and stayed until midnight. We didn't find a suitable village or town to stay, so we didn't stop at Night Terror Hall.
Traveling day and night, by the time we returned to the vicinity of Yun'an, it was already around three o'clock in the morning the next day.
Five days after leaving, it was early June, and a light rain came unexpectedly in the middle of the night.
Ye Jingtang took his raincoat and put it on his body, then looked back at the carriage.
There were no lights in the carriage, and the medicine on Luo Nuxia's body had dissipated. She performed the Ziwu Jue with her forehand and sat cross-legged in the carriage to practice.
Sanniang felt a little bored after walking a long way to her mother's house, so she used Luo Nuxia's legs as a pillow and lay on the thin blanket and fell asleep.
Birds are used to sleeping in the middle of the night, so they sleep with their heads covered under their coir raincoats.
The Night Terror Hall did not disturb the two women, and they took the carriage to the towering city wall of Yun'an.
At night, the city gate has been closed. According to the rules, you have to wait at the door until the city bell rings before you can enter the city.
Ye Jingtang didn't want to be soaked in the rain for several hours outside the city, so he found the city gate guard on duty outside the city gate and took out the "Behead first and then report, imperial permission" badge given by Benben.
The chief officers of the Black Yamen arrested all the gangsters who came and went. It was common for them to come in and out at night. The city gate guards did not stop them. After checking their waistbands and the official's declaration, they opened the city gate and let in the carriages and horses.
To Yunan.
In the second half of the night, you can still hear music of Sheng, singing and musical instruments in some streets in the capital, but you can hardly meet anyone on the street.
Night Terror Hall passes through Dongzheng Street. It can be seen that the cloth shop that he destroyed last time is under construction, but the street has been repaired.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Tianshuiqiao, Ye Jingtang slowed down the horse, came outside the carriage, raised his hand and knocked:
Dong Dong~
Luo Ning woke up when she entered the city. She opened her eyes after hearing the sound and looked at the plump female boss who was leaning on her legs.
The medicinal power on Pei Xiangjun's body has dissipated, but the 'Wind Pool Reverse Blood' is a move that squeezes the body to the limit to improve it. Self-injury to the Du Vein will be difficult to fully heal in one day, and it is still a bit weak.
Hearing the movement, Pei Xiangjun fluttered his eyelashes, looked out the window at the familiar building, and sat up leisurely:
"finally arrived at home."
Luo stared at the charming hostess in front of her, and her heart was actually a bit complicated - they were not familiar with each other a few days ago, and they even had an argument. But when they went out, the hostess saw her applying watermelon cream, and she looked at the little girl.
The relationship between the thief and the thief is obviously a bit weird, hmm... the friendship of feeding the thief together?
However, this female boss didn't understand current affairs and even refused to call her "Sister Ning'er".
As a legitimate leader, Luo Ning couldn't take the initiative to warm up to the cold moon. After thinking about it, she didn't say much and just looked outside:
"Little thief, take her back. I'll wait for you at the door."
Pei Xiangjun bent down and got out of the carriage, holding Ye Jingtang's hand and jumped out. Because he was a little drifting after lying there for two days, he swayed slightly and raised his hand to fix his hair:
"Why don't you just rest at home and go back at dawn?"
Ye Jingtang felt that Luo Nuxia would not live in Pei's house, so he supported Sanniang and said:
"If we stay at Pei's house, we will inevitably wake up my eldest aunt and the others, so we'd better go back quietly."
Luo Ning jumped off the carriage and unloaded the horse in the alley:
"There is still something to do when we go back. Miss Pei, please rest early. If you need anything, just come to our house and let us know."
Our family...
Pei Xiangjun knew that this charming and eager girl was eager to go back and be shy with Jingtang, so he did not insist and walked towards the door of Pei's house:
"The door is closed. I can't get angry. Please send me in."
Ye Jingtang didn't say anything when he saw this. He hugged Sanniang's legs and hugged her horizontally, flew over the high wall, came to Pei's mansion, and walked along the corridor towards the main courtyard.
Ye Jingtang looked down while walking, and found that Sanniang was leaning on her shoulder obediently. She raised her eyes to look at him, and found that he lowered his head, and turned away again.
The two of them walked through the corridor and came to the main courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet, with only the faint sound of drizzle. There was a breathing sound in the ear room, which should be Xiu He who had fallen asleep.
Ye Jingtang put Sanniang down and opened the door:
"Sanniang, have a good rest. I'm going back first."
Pei Xiangjun stood at the door of the boudoir, rubbing his sore shoulders. He wanted to go in, but after a moment of hesitation, he turned around and looked up at the tall and handsome young master in front of him.
Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes and looked at the mature and beautiful face close at hand. His almond eyes were obviously different from the 'pretending to be resentful' before. There was a certain emotion in his mouth. His red lips moved slightly, but he stopped talking.
.
Night Terror Hall felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he smiled:
"Sanniang, is there anything else?"
"Um……"
Pei Xiangjun raised his hand to straighten the raincoat on Ye Jingtang's chest. He seemed to be thinking about words, but after thinking for a long time, he said:
"Jingtang, am I a little fat?"
?
Ye Jingtang felt that this question was simply unreasonable. He had such a rock-solid determination that his mind wandered. If he thought that hips wider than shoulders and plump and plump meant he was fat, then there might be something wrong with his sexual orientation.
"Sanniang, don't think nonsense. You don't even have to ask me. If you ask any old lady, they will praise you for having many children and good fortune."
Pei Xiangjun nodded thoughtfully, straightened his clothes, and rubbed his chest:
"Okay, I'm just asking. Go and accompany your girl Ning'er. Next time you go out to do errands, remember to call me. She can't do anything except get jealous. If you keep you for a while, she will
It’s time to come in and rob people.”
Ye Jingtang secretly sighed. After watching Sanniang enter the boudoir, he helped to close the door. Before leaving, he first went to the window of the side room and raised his hand to knock on it.
Dong Dong~
"Hmm~Who is it?"
"Xiuhe, it's me."
"Huh?! Master Ye...you..."
"Don't think blindly. Sanniang is back and is a little injured. Go take care of her."
"Oh...I thought the young master came here to bully the maid in the middle of the night~he was just having fun..."
?
Night Terror didn't even know what to say, so he didn't stop and jumped onto the verandah. He landed in the alleyway, took out Bird Bird, who was sleeping like a piglet in the carriage, and got on his horse:
"Let's go."
Luo Ning looked much more natural without the light bulb in front of her. She walked out from under the eaves, tapped her toes and tried to get on the horse.
But while Luo Ning was still in the air, she noticed that the little thief on the horse raised his hand to fish her out, and pulled her to the front, who was about to sit in the back, and sat directly in his arms.
Thump~
Luo Ning quickly sat up straight, her eyebrows furrowed slightly and she said displeasedly:
"It's starting again, right? You are a gentleman in front of others, but you can't hold back when in front of me? I'm easy to bully?"
"drive--"
Ye Jingtang held Luo Ning in his arms and drove his horse to Dyefang Street. On the way, he pulled up his raincoat and covered Luo Ning:
"It's raining lightly, and there's no umbrella. You can sit in the back and get completely soaked when you go back."
Luo Ning thought there was nothing wrong with this statement, but the place where she sat was obviously not very flat, and her eyes were slightly cold:
"Do you believe I can break it for you?"
Ye Jingtang was startled, looked at the cold face, and frowned slightly:
"Why are you talking like this when you go out? Who are you? Give me back my pure and cold-hearted Luo Nuxia."
Luo Ning went out for a few days, experienced ups and downs, and really relaxed a little.
Seeing that the little thief dared to tease, she took a breath, put her hand between the two of them, touched the hilt of the sword, and used such force...
Ye Jingtang was frightened for a moment and quickly held down Luo Nuxia's arm:
"I was wrong. I really protected you from wind and rain. You see, I didn't move. I promised to hug you every day and not to be angry. Luo Nuxia can't break her promise."
"snort……"
Only then was Luo Ning satisfied. She put away her cold expression, leaned into Ye Jingtang's arms, and said calmly:
"I know how uncomfortable you are holding back. You performed quite well this time when you went out. Pei Sanniang flirted with you so much, but you were unmoved. I will take care of your body today and give you medicine tomorrow. I won't do the same next time."
