The street was crowded, and the man held the lantern high, seeming to have unintentionally lifted off her mask. The light of the lantern just reflected on her face, which was a face that was somewhat delicate despite being ordinary, and very unfamiliar.
The man immediately apologized profusely. Yan Shiyue snorted and pulled Huo Qijing's sleeves unhappily. Huo Qijing patted her on the back to coax her, and the two of them walked away.
After taking a few steps, Huo Qijing took off the mask and put it on her face. At this moment, the two of them exchanged quick glances.
When they returned, the shadow guard also came to report: "It's Chu Ningyuan."
Yan Shiyue was surprised.
It was actually Chu Ningyuan? She thought it would be someone with a positive attitude.
But I think so, they went to the Nuo Exorcism Convention on a temporary basis. Even Emperor Ming Yan didn't know about it, and no one else would have thought of it, so this person must have done it on a temporary basis.
Fortunately, she was also on guard against this move and put disguises on their faces and clothes.
Huo Qijing whispered: "This man is brave and resourceful, and he has prestige among those people. I will find a way to bring him under my control."
Yan Shiyue nodded and said, "How do you think he figured it out?"
Huo Qijing thought for a while and said: "Hand."
Yan Shiyue glanced at his injured hand: "Then tell me, is he suspicious because of 'Wu Qi', or is he simply suspicious of you and me?"
"Wu Qi," Huo Qijing said: "He must suspect that you are Wu Qi. If he simply suspects that it is you and me, what does it have to do with him? Why would he come to investigate?"
Yan Shiyue is fully confident in her acting skills: "Maybe he was instructed by someone else? It's usually impossible for him to tell that!"
He just looked at her.
She stared back: "Isn't it true! There's something wrong with my acting!"
It's not her fault. Her most confident thing in her life is her acting skills. Her voice and movements are absolutely unfeminine. Now she's wearing armor, and her stature is hard to tell. On her face, she doesn't hesitate to look ugly. On her right cheek
It has a texture similar to that of scar healing, which even an acquaintance might not recognize if they look carefully.
Huo Qijing said without mercy: "Small, thin, short, he eats at my place every noon."
Yan Shiyue: "..."
It's really irrefutable evidence.
But it doesn't matter. There can be many reasons for a person to be treated specially. If you exclude this one, others will naturally think of others.
She stopped talking.
It was already midnight, and a fire was lit in the Fuyuan. A group of dragon guards were dancing happily around the fire, throwing bamboos into the fire from time to time, making a crackling sound.
She reached out and hugged his arm, and he immediately pinched her wrist carefully and held her injured hand in his hand.
She said: "I have been here for so long, and this is the first time I celebrate the New Year with you!"
He didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand, gently touched her head, and after a while he said, "We can spend time together every year from now on."
She was silent for a while: "Can I sing to you?"
He hummed.
She sang in a very low voice: "The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old together with you, collecting every bit of laughter along the way, and saving it for later, sitting in a rocking chair and chatting slowly."
The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you slowly, until we are too old to go anywhere and you will still treat me as the treasure in your hand."
…………
During the Chinese New Year, the yamen did not open their seals, but the Yulin Army's life continued as usual, and they were still on duty when they should be on duty.
After visiting the palace, she found a place to meditate.
The white marble pillars in the guardhouse have a flat top, which is about the size of a bowl. She can now sit on it steadily without shaking for an hour. Although this is just an entry point for Qing Weilie and others, she
I thought it was very cool, so I would find a pillar to sit on every day.
I randomly picked a pillar and took a good pose despite the cold. From time to time, footsteps could be heard next to me, and faint voices could also be heard.
"That little hunchback is sick again."
Zhang Heng said, "What annoys me the most is him, pretending..."
She is now in the second generation of the army and has a glorious and resounding nickname: Little Hunchback.
She single-handedly attracted all the attention of the war monger Zhang Heng, and she couldn't stop talking to her every day, and Zhang Heng became her biggest motivation to learn martial arts... She was ready to wait for Huo Qijing to nod, and then
Go defeat him!
"Ning Yuan, I heard that General Huo's mansion confiscated one annual gift and didn't give another. He is really the only one in Chang'an City."
A steady voice responded: "Yes."
"What do you mean by saying he locks the door every day?"
"My wife is almost dead, so how can I be in the mood to do this?"
"Oh, if His Highness really dies, I don't think he will be so prosperous!"
Chu Ningyuan said calmly: "The Huo family is already famous. He has military exploits and such a temperament. The emperor naturally loves to use him."
Zhang Heng said, "I just don't like him!"
Chu Ningyuan scolded him: "Don't mess with him, you are no match for him!"
"So what if he's not? He's a great general. I don't believe he has the nerve to hit me! Besides," he chuckled, "Isn't there still you?"
Chu Ningyuan said: "I am not his opponent either."
Zhang Heng said, "I've never fought before. How can you enhance other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? I don't think that Mr. Rabbit has much ability. He's just bragging about Ten Thousand Army Capture the Flag! Isn't it just to sound good when he is the Lord?"
What!"
Chu Ningyuan did not answer.
Then someone changed the subject: "Didn't Ah Heng say that he was going to get married this year?"
"What kind of marriage!" Zhang Heng said: "The thought of it makes me annoyed. Women are all tired and crying, how can there be any fun in fighting!"
Then a group of people started talking about which girl in the capital looked like...the conversation was very lively.
Yan Shiyue opened her eyes helplessly.
That place was the tea room of the health center. It was warm and had tea. The group of them often went there. There was an obvious curvature in the wall.
But she didn't expect that the pillar she was sitting on, facing the arc, actually had a sound-reducing effect like a trumpet. From such a distance, she could hear their whispers clearly.
Seeing them finally finishing talking, Yan Shiyue stepped forward and saluted: "Captain Chu."
Before Chu Ningyuan could say anything, Zhang Heng said, "Hey, isn't this a little hunchback?"
Yan Shiyue ignored him and looked at Chu Ningyuan, who asked, "What's the matter?"
She said: "Take a step to speak."
Zhang Heng said: "What's your trick? You're not a good person when you look at your sly eyebrows! Why are you calling Ning Yuan?"
She still ignored him, and Chu Ningyuan asked: "Why?"
She said: "Teach you to be good."
This sentence was definitely a provocation in the guard station. Zhang Heng exploded at that time and said angrily: "You little hunchback, do you not want to live anymore?! Come on, grandpa will teach you to be good!"
Chu Ningyuan also raised his eyebrows, and then slowly walked over. Yan Shiyue made a gesture of invitation, and Chu Ningyuan followed her over. She gestured to the pillar she was sitting on just now: "Please sit down."
Zhang Heng continued to bark.
Chu Ningyuan looked at her, and she had a look on her face that said, "I don't like to sit still."
Then Chu Ningyuan really jumped up and sat on it, saying: "Please enlighten me."
"There's nothing to teach you." Yan Shiyue said, "I told you to be a good boy. Just sit here for a quarter of an hour. If you're lucky, you'll understand."
She turned around and left.
Zhang Heng said angrily: "You damn hunchback..."
He swept over with his leg, and Yan Shiyue jumped up and moved out of the way, pointing at him and saying: "If you fight privately in the guard station, if you rebel against the army and slander the army, you should be killed according to the law!"
Zhang Heng's nostrils twitched and he said angrily: "Who do you think you are, you dare to kill me! I must teach you a lesson today!"
See, that's why she hates him.
Not only because he barks and barks every day, but the key is that his father always comes up with the "Seventeen Forbidden Rules", with a sanctimonious attitude and a big flag, but when others say it, he will follow the special rules.
He was so angry as if his ancestral grave had been torn apart, as if only his family could use these seventeen forbidden laws. (To be continued)
