A heavy rain suddenly came, and many merchants failed to put up their awnings in time, so Sun Tongtong gave orders and asked warriors to help them organize their goods to prevent water from entering the goods.
Sun BuTong was very active in helping the businessman, hoping that Xunxuan and Xu Luose could see his handsome side, and that his righteous behavior could reach the ears of the two beauties through the businessman's mouth.
Sun Tongtong thought that by calling on the heroes to assist the merchants, he would attract the attention of Xun Xuan and Xu Luo se, and that his majestic appearance as a leader would make them starry-eyed.
As everyone knows, the effect of Sun Tong Tong's show is zero profit. Zhou Xingyun and others are like a group of little frogs hiding under the lotus leaves, talking, laughing and croaking under the awning of the carriage, until Sun Tong Tong comes to the end of the escort team.
, roared loudly at Zhou Xingyun to attract their attention.
"What are you doing to her in broad daylight!" Sun Tong and others came to the end of the escort team in a majestic manner. What caught his eyes was a scene that only envied mandarin ducks but not immortals.
Xu Luose snuggled into Zhou Xingyun's arms happily and shyly, enjoying the warmth he brought to her.
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Xingyun glanced at Sun Tongtong, who was wearing a bamboo hat. The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, but he was still in broad daylight?
"I should be the one asking you what you are doing! Take your hands away from Miss Xu!" Sun Tongtong confidently ordered Zhou Xingyun, not allowing him to be frivolous with Xu Luose.
"Why?" Zhou Xingyun couldn't understand Sun Bubu more and more. Xu Luose was a beauty gifted to him by the Empress Dowager. Although she was very humble and claimed to be his maid, according to the formal title, Xu Luose was his beau.
The concubine of King Jing.
Han Qiumiao and Wei Suyao are undoubtedly princess-level, proper first-class concubines. Mu Hanxing and Zheng Chengxue are considered to be the side princesses married by Zhou Xingyun’s matchmaker. In name, Xi Tou is also a second-class wife. Xu Luose should be regarded as a concubine, who is better than Xunxuan.
The concubine is still one level above her, and Mo Xianglan is the concubine at the lowest level.
However, Zhou Xingyun was a Jianghu man, and he didn't understand the class divisions of a prince's palace at all, so Xu Luose claimed to be whatever he was.
After all, Xu Luose is a beauty trained by the Xu family. She has always been submissive and has no opinions of her own. Now she has her own ideas and hopes to serve Zhou Xingyun at all times. Zhou Xingyun will definitely not refuse.
Anyway, the Northern Palace does not engage in bureaucracy. When Yu Wushuang was in the Northern Palace, he kept shouting that he was the only princess in the world, and Zhou Xingyun was also perfunctory... Yes, yes, you are right.
All in all, Xu Luose is the concubine of the Northern Palace, and Zhou Xingyun hugs her, why should Sun Tongtong lose his temper?
Besides, although it is summer now, a storm is coming. Xu Luose told Zhou Xingyun that she was wet and felt cold. Zhou Xingyun hugged Xu Luose and held her hands to heat her. Is there any problem?
Xu Luose was happily nestled in Zhou Xingyun's arms, but Sun Butong pretended not to notice and asked him to let go of his hands? Why?
"Because of you...because you don't respect Miss Xu!" Sun Butong held it in for a few seconds and finally thought of the reason.
Now Xu Luose was like a rabbit caught by a hungry wolf, leaning against Zhou Xingyun's chest and trembling.
Sun Butong felt that Xu Luose was very afraid of Zhou Xingyun, and that was why he was so submissive. I felt pity for him.
"..." Zhou Xingyun, who was eloquent and eloquent, was speechless at this time.
Zhou Xingyun held Xu Luose's hands, and her palms were very cold.
It wasn't because of the rain that Xu Luose felt cold.
Zhou Xingyun hugged Xu Luose into his arms and held her hands. Xu Luose blushed shyly, and a heat spread from her heart to her whole body.
Now Xu Luose's palms are cold because she was frightened by Sun Butong.
Xu Luose was a young lady who was inexperienced in world affairs. She was afraid that Sun Butong would ask Zhou Xingyun for her again.
Is she unfounded?
From Zhou Xingyun's point of view, Xu Luose's worry that he would send her out was indeed unfounded. However, from Xu Luose's perspective, it was a different kind of feeling.
Xu Luose is Xu Zhiqian's cousin. She is a few years older than Xiao Mengwu and has a more mature and stable temperament. She will not pretend to be silly and cute, and she cannot make suggestions for Zhou Xingyun. Xu Luose is a lady who never leaves home. She has lived in the Xu family since she was a child.
Li, as a concubine married to the emperor's sixteenth son.
In Xu Luose's understanding, it is normal for a prince to give away his concubines and maids. What's more, Sun Butong asked Zhou Xingyun for her after drinking Zhou Xingyun's tea.
Although Zhou Xingyun rejected Sun BuTong, Sun BuTong refused to give up and asked Zhou Xingyun for her again, which would be a very complicated problem.
When the Xu family educated Xu Luose, they made her mentally prepared. In order to increase his power, the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor might ask her to win over powerful people, serve high-ranking officials, or even give her away.
It would not be surprising at all if someone under the command of the Sixteenth Prince fell in love with her beauty and asked the Sixteenth Prince for her.
When Xu Luose was in the Xu family, she was instilled with many relevant understandings.
If someone asks the Sixteenth Prince for her, and the Sixteenth Prince refuses the other party once, but the other party still doesn't give up and wants to bring it up again, then from the standpoint of the royal family and the nobles, if the Sixteenth Emperor protects her, it means that he has to protect her.
This person breaks off the relationship.
This is Xu Luose's thoughts and worldview, and it is also where Zhou Xingyun is at a loss and doesn't know how to deal with it.
Xu Luose's situation is very similar to that of Hua Fuduo. They have been affected since childhood, and their thoughts and understanding of the world are already deeply ingrained. It cannot be changed by changing them.
Poor Xu Luose, a dignified and beautiful girl, was so frightened by Sun Tongtong that she trembled all over. Zhou Xingyun didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Elder Sun Butong, we have set up the awnings here, and there is no shortage of help. It seems that it will rain for a while. Go help the businessmen over there quickly, and then take shelter from the rain at the front of the boomerang team. Even Xi Jinping
People in martial arts will get sick if they catch a cold." Ning Xiangyi said very gently, even if Sun Tong was unreasonable, she still persuaded him to leave in a tactful way.
"Thank you very much for Ning Nuxia's concern, we will pay attention to it." Sun Butong waved his hand coolly and asked ten members of the escort team to help the businessman next door hold up the awning, and then continued to ask: "Nvxia Ning has been staying here these days.
I wonder if anyone or anything suspicious has been found at the rear of the escort team?"
Sun BuTong had no intention of leaving at all. He began to question Ning Xiangyi, hoping that she could provide him with useful information.
Sun Butong seemed to have a misunderstanding about Ning Xiangyi, and felt that Ning Xiangyi hated Zhou Xingyun in his heart.
In the past, the Wulin Alliance was controlled by the nine major national protection sects. Ning Xiangyi had no choice. Under the pressure of his sect, he had to compromise and stay with Zhou Xingyun.
Now that the rivers and lakes sects in the southern border have joined the martial arts alliance, and the nine major country-protecting sects are no longer the only one, Ning Xiangyi can not only get rid of the shackles, but also meet such a wise and powerful martial arts hero like him.
Ning Xiangyi naturally turned to her and stood up at the critical moment to expose Zhou Xingyun's bad deeds. Sun BuTong thought...
"Everything is fine with us and we haven't found anyone suspicious." How could Ning Xiangyi help an outsider to harm Zhou Xingyun?
You must know that from the signs in Ning Xiangyi's past, it can be generally seen that Ning Damei is a woman who is willing to betray her fellow students and masters for Zhou Xingyun.
When choosing between Zhou Xingyun and Shuixian Pavilion, Ning Xiangyi will definitely do anything for Zhou Xingyun without hesitation. She just asks Zhou Xingyun not to leave her, she is willing to do anything ungrateful for him...
Of course, Wei Suyao would also choose Zhou Xingyun, but she has a very upright heart and will hesitate and struggle before reluctantly compromising. She will not be as bold as Sister Ning, who directly makes the decision to have a husband rather than a child...
Therefore, regardless of Ning Xiangyi's dignity and gentleness, if she really gets into trouble, she will definitely lose her mind and betray the world for Zhou Xingyun.
"That's a shame."
Ning Xiangyi gained nothing, and Sun Tongtong could only feel helpless and regretful.
"Does Elder Sun BuTong have anything else to do?" Ning Xiangyi once again issued an order to expel guests. If Sun BuTong was a sensible person, he would have heard the subtext of her words, "Please go away if you have nothing to do."
What Sun Butong accidentally said just now reflects his evil heart towards Zhou Xingyun.
Regret? Where is the regret? Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was safe and sound? As soon as Sun Tongtong finished speaking, his thoughts became clear.
Ning Xiangyi didn't tolerate him after hearing this. This villain wanted to cause trouble for Zhou Xingyun again, so she just told him to go away.
However, Ning Xiangyi's way of speaking was very soft, and Sun Butong did not understand the deep meaning of her words.
But to be fair, Sun Tongtong couldn't hear the meaning in Ning Xiangyi's words. It's not that he is stupid and doesn't know how to observe people's words. It's that the impression Ning Xiangyi gives to people is that he is very gentle and gentle, and he is full of tolerance everywhere, even if he speaks to others
Hard words also show the magnanimity of being open to all rivers.
"It's like this. Our escort team can be said to be impregnable. It's impossible for the evil sect to defeat us from the front. The only place they can take advantage of is at the rear of the escort team. Therefore, I plan to bring some experts to stay in the escort team.
We are at the rear of the team in order to protect Ning Nuxia's escort of goods." Sun Tongtong said seriously: "All the people in our escort team are leading the way. Only the three vehicles you escort are in the rear. You are the only breakthrough for our escort team."
"I don't agree." Zhou Xingyun interrupted: "When you were in Nanxianzhuang, you had already lost to the people of Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace. You couldn't beat Hengyu, and they were almost burned into charcoal by Xuanyang Tianzun."
Zhou Xingyun glanced at Zhou Shaobo and others, and then continued: "You are now saying that evil people are nothing to be afraid of? Ask yourselves, is this reliable?"
"We were not well prepared that day, so the evil sect took advantage of the situation. Now we are absolutely sure to fight against the evil sect." Sun Butong put his hands behind his back and deliberately raised his chin to look down at Zhou Xingyun who was sitting on the carriage.
At this time, Sun Tongtong was wearing a rainproof hat, riding on a horse, looking down at Zhou Xingyun with his head raised, and he looked very much like a wealthy man in the world.
If it were Tang Yuanying who was just starting out, if she had to see Sun BuTong's cold and wealthy demeanor today, the little woman would most likely be excited and develop an outpouring of admiration for Sun BuTong.
