Xie Xun's breathing was slightly disordered, his throat was dry, and he took a mouthful of porridge and stuffed it into his mouth.
Feng Yu, "?"
Xie Xun had never been so embarrassed in his life. He simply explained, "I'm hungry too."
He drank the rest of the porridge in one go.
Feng Yu murmured to herself, "...I haven't eaten enough."
That's the half bowl of porridge I had left. How could you steal my food?
Her gaze was too direct in her condemnation. Xie Xun braced himself and calmly ordered, "Three girls are not full. Please serve another bowl of porridge."
Feng Yu wanted to take back the words she just praised him casually.
After hearing the instructions, the maids brought another bowl of porridge and put it on the desk. The maids only thought that the young marquis and the girl looked strange. One was staring at the brocade quilt, as if studying how the gorgeous patterns were embroidered.
One of them looked out the window. Even though the window was closed, he couldn't see anything, but he was fascinated by it.
Even though there was silence, the maid felt flushed, as if she shouldn't be there.
Feng Yu saw from the corner of her eye that the young Marquis was still staring at the window, and couldn't help but wonder, what's so nice about that window? His ears were so red that they were bleeding. Feng Yu cleared her throat and broke the silence, "Little Marquis, what are you doing?
Will they come after the northern barbarians?"
Xie Xun didn't want to say anything insincere, "When I was guarding the capital, I heard that the Forbidden Army was dispatched. I was afraid that the target was you, so I came to Xiangguo Temple to look for you. I didn't expect to run into the Northern Barbarians. Their target was supposed to be Feng Shu, but they kidnapped her.
you."
"Why do you want to arrest sister?" Feng Yu asked and then thought to herself, why did you come to me? Are you worried about me?
"There is a custom in the northern barbarians. If a person dies unexpectedly and wants his soul to rest in peace, the gods will ask the murderer to be sacrificed alive. If there is no murderer, he will need the person closest to him." Xie Xun showed contempt, almost writing it on his face as a group of barbarians.
, "The King of the Northern Barbarians was killed by the elder brother with an arrow. They could not capture the elder brother alive, and the elder brother had no heirs, so they targeted Feng Shu."
"Living sacrifice... what a violation of the rules." Feng Yu was grateful, "Fortunately, my sister escaped."
Xie Xun was a little sulky, "What about you? What consequences have you thought about pretending to be Feng Shu? With your broken body, can you withstand the bumpy journey to Ningzhou?"
Feng Yu said calmly, "It's just a coincidence, Xie Xun, if it were for your brothers, you would do the same thing, so don't blame me, and don't tell your sister, she will beat me."
Xie Xun mocked, "Feng Shu just beats her too little, so you don't learn a lesson."
The young marquis was angry, but Feng Yu did not let him get into trouble. She sincerely praised Xie Xun, "The young marquis is worthy of being my God of War in Yanyang. He is brave and good at fighting, decisive and neat, and beat them to pieces. He is more powerful than the general in the storybook."
Handsome, you saved my life again."
Xie Xun felt an inexplicable itch in his heart and retorted, "In the story, the hero saves the beauty, and the beauty must give her body to him."
Feng Yu, "?"
Their eyes met, Feng Yu seemed to be in disbelief that Xie Xun actually said such a ridiculous statement, Xie Xun's ears visibly burned, and she secretly cursed in her heart, Xie Xun, you are really a genius.
what are you saying!
Xie Xun stood up suddenly and strode out, his back showing a rare panic. A gust of cold wind came in from the opened door. Feng Yu felt cold and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
"Is he crazy?"
The cold wind howled outside the window, and no one answered her words. Xie Xun leaned against the towering wall of Zhizhou's mansion, letting the cold wind hit his face, and he also asked himself.
Are you crazy?
You dare to tease anyone, what are you thinking!
She is your eldest brother's sister-in-law.
The dull pain in his left leg still reminded him of how much he hated her in the past. Even though he knew that the soul exchange could not be controlled, he still hated her. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been trapped in Kyoto.
He hates that she always wears gold and silver, is extravagant and wasteful, he hates her selfishness and hypocrisy, and even more hates the entangled fate of being controlled by the soul-suppressing beads.
There was a time when he wanted to laugh whenever he saw her.
On a whim during the Lantern Festival, I asked her to watch the lanterns.
When she was in danger, for the first and only time, he hoped that she would take off the soul-suppressing pearl, and he was willing to take it with his own body.
Zhang Lingzheng said that when her life span was diminished, he wished her peace and longevity.
Xie Xun leaned against the wall, looked up at the sky, and laughed at himself, "Xie Xun, stop having such wishful thinking."
But there was another voice vaguely asking in my heart, can the eldest brother marry Feng Shu.
Why can't he?
The maid serving Feng Yu was named Xiaoying, and her temperament was as lively as Qiuxiang's. "Girl, the young marquis must like you very much. When you were unconscious, the young marquis kept watch all night without drinking any water. Your high fever did not go away, and the decoction did not stop.
Come on, it’s the little Marquis who feeds you medicine. When Sister Xiaohua and I were wiping your sweat, it hurt your legs. The little Marquis felt very distressed. He said you were in pain, please be gentle. We all saw it in our eyes.
so envious."
"You didn't get any water, and you kept watch all night, feeding me medicine?" Feng Yu secretly wondered, are they talking about the young marquis? How could Xie Xun do these things? "Maybe... because I am his God of Wealth.
"
After that frivolous tease, Xie Xun obviously avoided her. Feng Yu never saw Xie Xun. The maid was waiting on her. The maid seemed to see through her mind and said, "Girl, the young marquis and the master are discussing something.
"
Feng Yu secretly thought that the young Marquis would not sneak back to the capital and leave without her.
I have to say that Feng Yu really knows Xie Xun, and he is considering returning to Beijing.
The appearance of the Northern Barbarians in Kyoto is of great importance. Feiying and Nuanyang don't know if there are any survivors. If there are survivors, they will not leak the news. They are all his guards and people from the Feng family, and the Feng family has Feng Shu.
, and the news will not be leaked.
On the Kyoto Guard side, Zhang Boxing, Lin Xiao, Zhou Liyu, and Zhang Boxi can also stand alone. Even so, he has been away from Beijing for five days and must rush back as soon as possible.
Feng Yu was seriously injured and could not travel long distances. It was best to stay in Shuncheng to recuperate. He had written a book for Feng Shu and someone from the Feng family would take care of her. Xie Xun hid from her for a night and finally came to see her, telling her to return to Beijing.
thing.
"Can I come with you?"
She was an unfamiliar place, and Shuncheng was not her territory. What if the Northern Barbarians left and came back? She didn't believe anyone except the young Marquis. But she was seriously injured, her left leg was slightly fractured, and she couldn't walk, which would definitely slow her down.
Xie Xun’s itinerary.
Xie Xun rode alone all night, and could reach the capital in one day and one night. If he took Feng Yu with him, she would not be able to travel long distances, and it might take three days. Rationally, Xie Xun knew to let her recuperate in Shuncheng. But despite the three girls begging, Xie Xun
The look in his eyes showed that Xie Xun could not be hard-hearted.
He was a little nostalgic for his hard-hearted self when he was in Furongju.
"Brother Zhixu, I'm alone in Shuncheng, and I'm scared." Fengyu's eyes were red at all times, with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't speak. She was as pitiful as she wanted.
Even though he knew it was an act, the young Marquis was still defeated, "You win!"
Feng Yu wiped away her tears with satisfaction. She originally planned to use the money she had tried and succeeded repeatedly when this move failed, but she didn't expect that the young marquis couldn't resist the first move and he lost a lot of money.
