Chapter 32 – 032
Of the two outer garments, one was missing sleeves and the front was torn, the other was missing a hem and a collar.
What use would he need these two piles of rags!
Lu Shiqing was so angry that he wanted to drag up the culprit who was sleeping soundly, but when he lowered his head, he froze.
Yuan Cixian soaked in the rain longer than him, and his inner clothes were soaked. Just now she was busy roasting her outer clothes, but she didn’t do much on her body. At this moment, the thin white shirt is still clinging to her torso, making her slender waist extraordinarily exquisite, and even revealing her jade white skin faintly.
This time was no different than the last time in the bathtub, when she was wearing the servant’s coarse clothes, which were loose and thick, and she couldn’t see the whole thing when she was wet, but now she really can see it all. Fortunately, she also knows that her appearance is easy to cause trouble, so she wears men’s clothing and wraps her chest when going out, otherwise the scene at this moment might be more “eye-catching”.
But even so, sparks had already exploded in Lu Shiqing’s head.
He rolled his eyes, took three deep breaths, calmed down for a while, and called her.
Yuan Cixian did not agree.
He hesitated on the spot for a long time, finally sighed, picked up two piles of rags on the ground that might not be called clothes, thought for a while, looked for something that looked cleaner, tore off a strip of cloth, and put it over his eyes on, tied a knot at the back of her head, and stripped off her soaking wet underclothes.
Lu Shiqing tried his best to avoid touching her skin, and when the blindfold took off the white shirt on her body, his back was already sweating from tension. He really couldn’t remove the remaining chest cloth, so he had to leave it alone for the time being.
He let out a sigh of relief, took off her bun again, loosened her bun, groped a bit, picked up her outer dress that had been burnt, and wiped her hair with the slightly clean inner layer.
Her hair had to be dried, otherwise when she woke up, she would have a headache even if she didn’t catch the wind and cold.
Lu Shiqing moved very carefully, for fear of touching something that shouldn’t be touched, but unexpectedly wiped and served Yuan Cixian so comfortably, this girl felt something in her sleep, and even tilted her head, thinking of him as her mother As if, she rubbed her face against his hand.
“…” There is no way to do this job.
Blindfolded, the tactile sensation of the cool and ironed paste is so clear that it scratches the heart and lungs. Lu Shiqing held his breath and concentrated, thinking that it was almost done, he hurriedly finished the matter, and prepared to cover her with a coat.
In order to be sure, he had to test the position with the fabric, and unexpectedly felt a bumpy place on her waist, like a scar.
His movements froze, he frowned, determined to find out what happened, hesitated again and again, and said in a deep voice: “Yuan Cixian, the snake is here.”
Yuan Cixian remained silent.
Very good, it seems that he will never wake up.
He removed the cloth that was used to rest his hands, touched it lightly, and found that the scar was probably on the back waist, it was three inches long, it was almost hideous, it should have been very deep at the beginning.
He was startled, remembering that he went to Yuan’s house for a banquet as Xu Shan, and heard what she said.
She really wasn’t lying.
In an instant, he lost all strange and charming thoughts, as if a basin of water was poured from head to toe, his heart was cold, he got up and grabbed her underwear, and went to warm himself seriously.
The straw bedding was uncomfortable, and there was repeated thunder outside. After all, Yuan Cixian didn’t sleep for long. When she woke up, she looked down and stayed for a few counts. He saw Lu Shiqing sitting by the fire with his back to her, roasting her underwear.
She was dumbfounded: “Lu… Lu…” Lu didn’t say anything for a long time.
When Lu Shiqing heard her wake up, he couldn’t help sighing in his heart. Seeing that the clothes were almost dry, he could have hidden merit and fame, but now he was in trouble.
Without turning his head, he threw back her underwear and hit her on the head just right: “Put it on.”
“No, wait…” Yuan Cixian grabbed the clothes and thought about it, and she lost her honorific title under the great shock, “Did you take it off for me?”
“No.” He said with certainty, “I took it off for you.”
“…” What’s the difference?
Of course not. “Help” means kindness, “give” means a beast, there is a difference between the two. He still turned his back to her, and raised a piece of cloth at his hand, indicating that he was blindfolded and did the hand just now.
Yuan Cixian was at a loss for words for a while, looked down at herself with a sad face, then raised her eyes to look at his seemingly upright back, just about to say something, suddenly heard a sound of “cracking” horseshoes, mixed with mud and water splashing sound.
Startled, she quickly put on her underwear.
Lu Shiqing obviously heard it too, knowing that the station was conspicuous, if the other party’s killer came, there was absolutely no way he would give up the investigation, so he didn’t plan to hide, and asked very quickly: “Who is the other party, what does he want, do you have a clue?”
He wanted to ask her about these things earlier, but seeing that she was extremely tired, he delayed until now.
Yuan Cixian picked the most important information and replied: “I don’t know the specific identity, but there is their master in the team. It should be to capture me alive, not to take my life.”
“Stay here and don’t move.”
Lu Shiqing left this statement and walked out. The moment he moved the door, seven or eight killers came galloping, and the one at the head was the master of these killers that Yuan Cixian had judged before.
He got off the horse, and through the dilapidated doors and windows, he saw a man with black hair and disheveled clothes inside the house.
Sensing his gaze, Lu Shiqing moved his footsteps, covering the window opening behind him. Seeing that he was only looking at Yuan Cixian’s direction, but hadn’t spoken for a long time, he smiled and said: “I don’t think your Excellency still has the heart to stay here.”
Hearing this sentence, the man’s eyes finally fell on Lu Shiqing.
Lu Shiqing put his hands behind his back and said, “A long time ago, Lu sent a message to the governor of Shangzhou with a falcon. Now, the land you are stepping on has been completely sealed off. Without a stick of incense, thousands of garrison troops in Linxian County will be killed.” We will rush to this place. If you evacuate quickly, you may still have a chance.”
“Of course, you can also kill me while the incense burns. It’s just a coincidence that Lu is not the court’s servant, but an imperial envoy who symbolizes a saint. Once I die here, not only Shangzhou will be blocked At that time, the Shannan East Road, including the sixteen prefectures, will become a cage, and the capital in the north will also be disturbed. If you are from the Great Zhou Dynasty, you are making an enemy of the saint. If you are not from the Great Zhou Dynasty, He smiled lightly when he said this, “It’s tantamount to making an enemy of the entire Great Zhou.”
“Counties in the four seas, a territory of billions of trillions, this royal domain, you can step in, but you may not be able to get out. Lu is here, and the opportunity to challenge the king’s prestige of the Great Zhou and even the country is also here. If you want to take her away, you might as well Try killing me first.”
The rain gradually stopped, the sky became brighter, and the surroundings were silent. The water droplets hanging on the window were slowly dripping down, and his voice was clearly transmitted into the room, word by word.
Yuan Cixian clutched his clothes and stared at his back through the window hole.
After he finished his last sentence, for a moment, she didn’t seem to remember that this person was the imperial teacher who would have power in the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty. All he knew was Lu Shiqing.
The man in the lead remained motionless and remained silent. Finally, he glanced in Yuan Cixian’s direction, then got on his horse, gestured for “retreat”, and galloped away without saying a word.
Lu Shiqing pushed the door back as if nothing happened, seeing Yuan Cixian staring at him for a moment, raised his eyebrows: “What?”
She came back to her senses, shook her head, felt a little hot for some reason, and smiled as if looking for something to say: “It’s nothing, I just think you are very imposing.” After she finished speaking, she added, “You are also very imposing when confronting people in underwear. Especially admirable.”
Lu Shiqing’s face darkened.
She’d better hope that the other party is a member of the Great Zhou, otherwise he would be ashamed and thrown abroad, and he would definitely not be able to spare her.
Seeing him approaching, Yuan Cixian coughed, took the torn clothes to wrap herself more tightly, and then asked: “When did you release the falcon, after a stick of incense, will we have rescuers?”
He sneered, and sat down by the fire: “Where did I get the falcon?”
Yuan Cixian choked. Dare to feel that he is an empty-handed white wolf.
“You are not afraid, they really killed you?”
He glanced at her: “If they don’t care about killing me, they should have done it last night by the river bank. It’s just a calculation, so you don’t have to be too moved.” After speaking, he pointed to the straw shop, “Now you can sleep.”
“Since there are no rescuers, they will realize that they have been deceived, and it is unknown whether they will go there or come back. I won’t sleep. The rain has stopped, so let’s hurry.”
“Who said there are no rescuers?” He glanced at her, “I don’t have a falcon with wings, and I don’t have a servant with two legs?”
Oh, what this means is that Zhao Shu has already reported the news, but he is not as fast as the eagle. I am afraid that the so-called blockade and support will have to be delayed.
Seeing that he was sure that the other party would not look back, Yuan Cixian lay down with her back to him, fell asleep again, and woke up at dusk, she faintly heard the sound of disorderly footsteps, as if many people were coming, and she opened her eyes. He saw that Lu Shiqing was fully dressed, with a clean robe in his hand, as if he was about to wake her up.
Seeing that she opened her eyes, he handed her the clothes: “Come out after changing.”
Yuan Cixian glanced out the window and saw that all the soldiers were facing away from here very honestly, so she put on her clothes with peace of mind, tidied up and opened the door to go out.
Lu Shiqing heard the movement behind her, turned to look at her, and said: “I have sent a letter to report your brother’s safety, but Shangzhou is blocked, you can’t go out for the time being, and the people from the capital will not be able to catch up for a while. I am on an errand , I can’t stay here with you.”
Yuan Cixian curled her lips and said “Oh”: “Then go and do your work, just find me a place to stay…”
She was interrupted by him before she finished speaking: “So you go south with me.”
Yuan Cixian was taken aback for a moment, and she was happy for a moment, she tugged at his arm and said, “Really, Minister Lu?”
The soldiers on all sides secretly moved their eyes and cast ambiguous glances at the two of them.
He coughed, looked down, motioned her to take the handle away, and be careful, and then said: “It’s just a stopgap measure. You can go back after the suspect is arrested.”
