Chapter 105: In Public?
Xue Jinyi's expression was natural, and she said with a smile: "King Chu, you see that you are making fun of me again, shouldn't you care about your allies?" Besides, everyone knows that we are an unmarried couple, so it is also appropriate to pretend to avoid suspicion from others. β
As she spoke, she looked at the King of Chu from head to toe and found that there was some wet mud on the sides of his boots.
The king of Chu noticed her gaze, "When I went to the river, I accidentally got it." You ......," he diverted, "not interested in asking me how I looked?" β
"The matter of choosing a place is not something that can be done in a day or two, what is the urgency." Xue Jinyi turned behind the King of Chu again, "Naturally, it is more important to care about you first and care about you who have disappeared for a few hours?" If I lose such a good ally, where am I going to cry? β
"You obviously don't want to marry me, but now you're happy to say that a good ally is happy?" King Chu asked coldly.
Xue Jinyi's smile was still the same, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not confident in his threat, or do you think that the benefits for me are not enough?" I think it's probably the latter, right? β
The King of Chu turned around abruptly, grabbed Xue Jinyi's shoulder, and watched everyone without concealment.
People looked at the fiancΓ©e curiously, and although they looked good in public, they were a little inappropriate......
"Then ...... you" King Chu didn't seem to care about the eyes around him at all, and leaned closer to Xue Jinyi, "What do you think I can do for you?" β
Xue Jinyi sensed the dangerous message, but she had no fear, "Hehe, of course, this benefit has to be thought about by His Royal Highness the King of Chu before it can be sincere." β
"Oh?" King Chu looked at her cheeks, and her ordinary face looked a little cute and playful because of the smile. His hand slowly slid down, grabbed Xue Jinyi's arm, and then moved closer to her for three points.
Xue Jinyi looked at him fearlessly.
Just watching, no sweet words, no arms around his neck.
There is no tenderness like this, and it has long been boring to put it on ordinary men, not to mention that it is still a little ugly face on top of it, although it has been recuperated for a while, but this face is still yellow and thin, and no one will be interested in it unless it is true.
However, the king of Chu went a little further.
The crowd's eyes widened.
The King of Chu wouldn't be going to kiss Miss Xue in public, right?!
Although they have already been married by the emperor, this is too ......
Too what?
Everyone is a little happy to see this fiancΓ© kiss, how interesting?!
Xue Jinyi smiled unabated, looking at the faces close at hand.
His expression was focused and earnest, his eyes staring at her almost unblinking, and he could almost see her own face through those deep, cold pupils.
Did the king of Chu want her to think that they were going to kiss, and he was embarrassed to push and shove, causing everyone to laugh?
Then he miscalculated......
Xue Jinyi was about to step on the upper of King Chu's shoes when King Chu made a move first, he raised his other hand, stroked her hair bun, and then lifted a half-inch long piece of hay in front of her.
"Why do you have this in your hair?"
Xue Jinyi looked at it, thinking that it was accidentally touched when she rolled out from front of Zhuang Erlang, because it was a little broken, so others didn't notice it, right?
She simply told the King of Chu about Zhuang Erlang, "...... I want to meet him. β
"Why?" The king of Chu threw away the hay.
Xue Jinyi said: "Zhuang Erlang was wronged, he deserves it now, what about the person who harmed him in the first place?" Is it just to go unpunished? According to what he said, if something happened there, the officials would definitely not protect the people, and then they would have to clean up the capital. β
King Chu looked into her eyes, "You are really old-fashioned. β
Xue Jinyi also looked at him, "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill." β
The two looked at each other and did not speak for a moment.
Everyone was waiting a little anxiously, the two had been together for a while, why hadn't they kissed yet? What are you rubbing?
"Hurry up, hurry up, ......," someone even muttered quietly.
At this moment, King Chu took a step back and let go of Xue Jinyi's arm, "Okay." β
Good? What is good? Everyone looked at each other.
"Let's go." Xue Jinyi said.
She led the way in front, the king of Chu followed, and the two left the courtyard.
Again, look at me, and I look at you.
Why did you just leave?
Could it be that the two young people are embarrassed and plan to go to a remote place where no one is around?
The crowd laughed good-naturedly.
Xue Jinyi took the King of Chu to the dry well where Zhuang Erlang was hanging, and there were two officers and soldiers standing on the side, who were in charge of guarding.
"Put Zhuang Erlang up, this king has a few words to ask." The king of Chu commanded.
The officers and soldiers hesitated, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, that Zhuang Erlang is fierce and vicious, I'm afraid that one of you will hurt you by accident." β
"It doesn't matter." The king of Chu said: "You lift him to the mouth of the well, so that it is convenient to speak, and then retreat ten steps away." If there is a problem, it has nothing to do with you. β
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers had to lift Zhuang Erlang to the wellhead, and after making sure that there was no problem with the rope, they retreated to a place ten steps away.
Xue Jinyi sat on the stone next to her and asked in a low voice: "Zhuang Erlang, if you go to Jingzhao Mansion, I'm afraid you will be sentenced to death, but the person who killed you is still alive and well, can you swallow this breath?" β
When Zhuang Erlang saw Xue Jinyi again, although she designed him to be arrested, he had no hatred in his heart, but his face was ashamed.
In order to survive, he actually forgot his original intention and kidnapped innocent people......
And after hearing Xue Jinyi's words, anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he scolded hatefully: "Those dog officials, they have done all kinds of bad things, and sooner or later they will be taken away by God!" β
"Being collected by heaven is a bit illusory," Xue Jinyi said: "Wouldn't it be better if someone could uphold justice and really cure the sins of those dog officials?" β
"Girl, you-" Zhuang Erlang looked at Xue Jinyi in a daze, and after thinking of her identity, he sighed, "Then I'll tell the girl the truth, I'm from Gyeongju, and I originally worked under the judicial army of the Assassin's Mansion." β
"Gyeongju?" The King of Chu suddenly spoke.
Zhuang Erlang struggled to raise his head, only to find that there was a young man with a gloomy face next to him, thinking that this was this girl's fiancΓ© - King Chu, right?
"Is it the hometown of the Puyang clan?" Xue Jinyi continued, and this was mentioned in the book.
King Chu nodded, and then listened to Zhuang Erlang continue: "Yes, it is the hometown of the emperor today!" Thorn Shi is His Royal Highness King Feng, but a false title, no matter what is serious, the big and small affairs are in charge of Changshi Chang Li, he and Sihu joined forces with Sun Chengde to kill a local family surnamed Tang, occupied their land, and then dedicated this land to His Royal Highness King Feng in his own name. β
"Sun Chengde?" Xue Jinyi couldn't help but interrupt Zhuang Erlang, "Why does this name feel familiar?" β
