Chapter 367 Here~ My Wife
It started again, it started again.
Zhou Ji really doesn't understand why Xu Fengnian has so many twists and turns in his heart. He used his fingers to analyze the person the thieves are looking for the day before yesterday, and now he is calm and confident with a thousand things in his heart.
It's as if someone is calculating everything, living on a chessboard.
Zhou Ji laughed dumbly, "What made you so afraid? Although I don't know what you are thinking, if I told you that I came back last night, would you feel embarrassed?"
Nangong Pushe slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two of them.
Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment. For some reason, a familiar figure suddenly flashed in his mind. He had clearly never met him before, but this vague illusion still made him feel a trace of unreasonable trust, which came from the bottom of his heart.
The smile on Xu Fengnian's face was as sincere and silly as before. He shook his head and said with a smile, "No, I just feel at ease and at ease."
"Then you can rest assured."
The morning sun shines on Zhou Ji's side face, the plain gown is swaying in the wind, with a faint smile on his face, he still looks gentle and friendly, but there is a kind of alienation beyond the world, which makes people bow their heads and tremble from the most instinctive .
"People treat me with sincerity, and I treat others with sincerity. There should be no one in this world who can order me to do things."
Untied, Xu Fengnian clasped his fists in both hands, leaned over and gave a long salute, and apologized to Zhou Ji.
He originally thought that Zhou Ji was someone Xu Xiao had deliberately arranged to protect him when he learned that someone in the North Star Army had colluded with the remnants of Western Chu.
After all, the timing of Zhou Ji's appearance was too coincidental. The Western Chu Euphorbis obtained his whereabouts from Beiliang, and he met Zhou Ji by the river on the back foot.
Taking out his portrait from the leader, Xu Fengnian was even more convinced of this.
In addition, Zhou Ji "did not return all night" last night, and this morning saw the howling of the eagle scaring away the birds.
This place is less than a hundred miles away from Lingzhou City, so running back and forth overnight is not a problem at all.
Zhou Ji listened to Xu Fengnian's analysis with a strange expression, and couldn't help but complain, "What have you experienced? Did you grow up in Gongdou opera? Where did you put so much thought into it?"
"What Gongdouju? Although Xu Xiao was named King of Beiliang, he has always lived in the palace and never built a palace." Xu Fengnian was surprised.
"It's nothing, just treat it like I'm talking nonsense." Zhou Ji waved his hand, not wanting to get involved in Xu Fengnian's own family affairs.
Xu Fengnian glanced at Lao Huang who was cleaning up neatly, and Nangong Pushe who was looking at them from the side, and said with a smile, "Since Lao Zhou is back, let's clean up and continue on our way."
Nangong Pushe put on his hat again, got up and left, Lao Huang picked up the wooden box that had slipped from his shoulder, let go of the reins, and led the horse to follow.
At the end of spring and summer solstice, the windy and sunny morning turns into scorching sun at noon.
Walking along the official road all morning, Xu Fengnian wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his steps became heavier and heavier.
Accompanied by a faint smell of wine and the weeds that were suppressed by the breeze, they rushed towards the crowd. Looking from a distance, a simple wine shop next to the official road came into view.
Old Huang stood on tiptoe and took a deep breath, closed his eyes and showed an expression of intoxication, and pulled Xu Fengnian with his eyes shining brightly, "Master, I've been on the road all morning, why don't you go to the bar in front to rest for a while?" ?”
The two hit it off immediately, smelling the aroma of wine and ran forward, Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, touched the tender buds that had lost their luster with his fingertips, and said softly, "Let's go too~ "
"." Nangong Pushe, who was planning to follow up, froze suddenly, his long and narrow white hair band swayed with the wind, lowered his head, pushed down his bamboo hat a little bit, and passed by Zhou Ji without stopping. ,"good"
"??"
Zhou Ji had question marks all over his head, and looked up at Nangong Pushe suspiciously. Nangong Pushe felt Zhou Ji stop in place, and subconsciously glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then his pupils trembled.
"!!"
"Hey~" Zhou Ji watched Nangong Pushe's footsteps suddenly quicken, and wanted to stop her, but found that she ignored her, and her body skills were even faster than when she was fighting against people two days ago.
When he arrived with a flower pot, Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang were already drinking and eating meat happily. Nangong Pushe, who was one step ahead of him, was sitting alone in the farthest corner, turning his head to look at the reeds in the distance.
"It seems that Baihulian likes the reeds very much. I haven't gotten tired of watching it all the way, and she didn't respond when I asked her to come here." Xu Fengnian signaled the shopkeeper to send her a pot of apricot blossom wine, and sighed, "Maybe, this It is the demeanor of a legendary master~!"
Old Huang hummed and ate the braised chicken and marinated meat on the table, and drank fine wine from time to time, dealing with his young master one after another.
Zhou Ji sat down with a gloomy expression, put the flower pot beside him, and said with a smile, "There are many kinds of masters, some are sharp-edged, some are back to basics, some pursue lofty artistic conception, and some are down-to-earth and true at every step."
The shopkeeper brought up a pot of fine wine again. Zhou Ji opened the cover and sprinkled it on the stretched vines. For a while, the aroma of the wine was overflowing, and the fragrance of apricot blossoms~
"Waste, what a waste~"
A pot of apricot blossom wine costs 20 yuan, which is quite expensive. It is just used for watering, and Lao Huang's expression is distorted, showing a distressed look.
Xu Fengnian also noticed Lao Huang's expression, glared at him reproachfully, and ordered the shopkeeper to serve a pot of apricot blossom wine to gag the guy's mouth.
The shopkeeper glanced at the crowd with some hesitation, glanced at the two sabers shot by Nangong Pushe, and then at the cloth of the people's clothes, and finally brought the drinks.
But just as he was about to bring up the wine pot, a black light flew from a distance and went straight to Xu Fengnian's face.
The jug can block Xu Fengnian's sight, but it can't stop the sharp arrows that are galloping. Before the shopkeeper can react, two extra fingers are volleyed in the air, and before the sharp arrow penetrates the jug, it clamps the body of the arrow .
Lao Huang straightened up half of his body and sat back slowly. He breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to catch the flagon that fell from the boss's hand, making a frightened expression.
The sound of horseshoes sounded again, and the group of unrepentant thieves surrounded them again, and above the sky, a sharp eagle whistle sounded, and Hai Dongqing, whose wings were more than two meters long, hovered over the wine shop, and then It flew down in front of Xu Fengnian.
Now even Zhou Ji felt a little helpless, looking at the group of ragged bandits, he said, "Do you guys like giving things for free so much? You know that the gap in strength cannot be smoothed out with just a few of you, why do you have to do it all together?" Come here again and again to give away the head?"
Even if they don't have themselves, just a Nangong Pushe can solve them.
Nangong Pushe turned into a stream of white light and floated across the table, tiptoed lightly, standing under a wooden stake outside the fence, looking down at the crowd, his indifferent eyes faintly showing some kind of dangerous signal.
As Hai Dongqing spread his wings and flew out of the wine shop, another wave of horseshoes came from a distance, and a group of elite cavalry wearing armor ordered the thieves to surround him. Xu Fengnian put away his frivolous attitude, played with the wine cup in his hand, and pretended, " Do you want to spare your life again and again, do you have to wait until the person dies before you stop?"
The leader of the thieves showed unwillingness, glanced at the Beiliang Iron Cavalry around, and said in a hateful voice, "The Beiliang Iron Cavalry is beyond human power, stop it!"
After finishing speaking, he was about to drop the long knife in his hand when he heard another voice coming from the wine shop.
"Wait a minute first." Zhou Ji squinted his eyes, looked at the other party and said, "The first time I was restrained, I didn't stop, the second time I was restrained, I didn't stop, and the third time I beat you away. Time doesn’t stop, but now that the people from Beiliang have arrived, if you don’t even fight, you just surrender, are you looking down on me, or are you out of your mind?” (Or, are the screenwriters and directors out of their minds?)
The corner of the bandit leader's mouth twitched. He never expected Zhou Ji to ask such a question. Xu Fengnian smoothed things over and said, "Maybe he saw you and Bai Hulian showing mercy, so he was lucky and wanted to try 'billion' more times~ "
Zhou Ji turned his head to look at Xu Fengnian, and saw the 'light of wisdom' shining in his eyes. Although he didn't know what this guy was thinking again, he still couldn't help but sighed and turned his head to look away.
He came, he came, and he came again with a 'brain'.
Xu Fengnian was full of confidence, as if he had seen through everything.
Fengziying Wudian General Ning Emei sat on the horse and looked at Nangong Pushe who was standing taller than him, and a conflict suddenly broke out.
Ning Emei's face sank like water, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "You, come down!"
Nangong Pushe showed a sneer, looked down at Ning Emei calmly and indifferently, "Get off the horse."
When an arrogant person meets another arrogant person, the result is a raging fire, and neither will give in.
Ning Emei was irritated by Nangong Pu's attitude, pointed his spear at the opponent, and said coldly, "No one in the world can stop Beiliang's war horse, come down!"
"I want you to dismount!"
Seeing Nangong Pu shoot and draw his sword, both sides were about to fight, Xu Fengnian hurriedly restrained Ning Emei, fearing that the two sides would fight, Zhou Ji confiscated him for a while, and ordered all the Beiliang soldiers present.
Wait, why Zhou Ji?
Xu Fengnian shook his head, shook off distracting thoughts in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Then what if I let you get off the horse?"
"My son." Although Ning Emei looked down on Xu Fengnian from the bottom of his heart, but the other party was the prince of Beiliang after all, he didn't understand Xu Fengnian's "hard work and hard work" at all, and he still rode on the horse unwillingly until the little boy who came running from a distance Prince, just now got off the horse, knelt down on one knee, and performed the Beiliang military salute.
"Huang Maner~" Xu Fengnian was almost thrown to the ground by Xu Longxiang, he stroked his back helplessly and fondly, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
"When I saw Qingbai Luan flying out, I knew it was my brother who came back." Xu Longxiang had a pure heart and showed a pure smile.
Xu Fengnian helped him to sit down. The two brothers reunited after a long absence, so naturally they had a lot to say.
Ning Emei on the other side interjected without winking, explaining to Xu Longxiang that he had received a military order to bring the son back to the mansion.
Zhou Ji pursed his lips, sat on the fence with a flower pot in his arms, looked at Ning Emei who was awkwardly on the side, and showed pity, and raised his head to look at Nangong Pushe beside him. The mud skirt swayed gently in the wind.
The upward angle of view can be called the angle of death. Before Zhou Ji could say anything, she took the initiative to get off the stake and stood inside the fence.
Look~ Let people come down, you don't have to order and force.
The story of the north wind and the sun tells us that the problem can be solved in another way.
Zhou Ji lowered his head and explained to the flower pot, but what he got in return was a curled up vine, which jumped up like a spring and slammed into his forehead.
Nangong Pushe stood behind Zhou Ji and didn't know what happened, but the leader of the bandits who had given up resistance looked dumbfounded and looked at the scene in front of him stupidly, as if his worldview had been impacted by something.
'Hey, did you see it? The man. The man **** with a vine? '
Zhou Ji raised his head, gave the thief a threatening look, and said with a wry smile, "Why are you so angry again? It's inappropriate for me to be there by an outsider when two brothers are reunited. Thinking about walking away a little bit and giving them space to get along."
Zhou Ji turned the flowerpot half a circle, looked at the tender buds twisted to the other side, and said, "As for other things, I really didn't see them."
"What else do you want to see?" Nangong Pushe gave Zhou Ji a cold look. Although she has firm beliefs and carries some heavy burdens, it doesn't mean that she can really abandon her gender and image and devote herself to martial arts among.
Otherwise, how could she wear the pure white clothes that are the easiest to get dirty, wear a bamboo hat to protect from the sun and rain, behave decently, and maintain a beautiful and clean makeup?
Zhou Ji twitched the corner of his mouth, and said helplessly, "Don't make trouble~"
Nangong Pushe frowned slightly, and looked at Zhou Ji without saying a word. Zhou Ji picked up the flower pot in his hand, held it up in front of her, pointed to the vines inside and said:
"Here~ Did you see, my wife is very angry."
"." Nangong Pushe stepped back half a step, staring at Zhou Ji with the expression that you are teasing me, and saw that his eyes were full of seriousness, and he didn't mean to be joking at all. Soft, although he didn't say anything, but Zhou Ji keenly captured the two words that flashed in his eyes.
'mercy'
Zhou Ji's mouth twitched, facing Nangong Pushe's expression of caring for a certain vulnerable group, he no longer had the idea of explaining, holding the flowerpot in his arms and squeezing past Xu Fengnian and Xu Longxiang who were still reminiscing about the old days.
Xu Longxiang was born in the Diamond Realm, but he had no ability to resist in front of Zhou Ji. Seeing Zhou Ji walk away, he just came to his senses and asked with a puzzled face: "Brother, what happened to him?"
…………………
(The part about Xu Fengnian's suspicion of Zhou Ji at the beginning is in line with the setting of the original drama. If the misunderstanding is resolved, it will be fine if the words are cleared up.
The word that appears the most in the whole drama is "chess game", "play chess" and "this game of chess" at every turn, as if this can show the force, Xu Fengnian is walking in this kind of life that is calculated by Xu Xiao The established path, facing Zhou Ji whose timing is so coincidental, will definitely have doubts. )
(Finally, thank you for the reward of 600 coins from "Rainy night with a knife but not a scorpion")
Happy New Year everyone~
