Chapter 87 Beili Wolf King x Central Plains Prince 23

"I'm not free today."

Xiao Jintian had already put on his armor, and his whole body was filled with the cold and murderous aura of the battlefield, which reminded Qian Zhou of the first time he met him.

The wolf king stared at his face, as if trying to capture his lost emotion after being rejected.

But not.

The food at Qianzhou is always good whether Xiao Jintian is there or not.

"......" Xiao Jintian raised his hand and pinched the back of Qianzhou's neck, his tone sounding like an order, "Come back tomorrow."

Qian Zhou felt a little hot on the back of his neck from being pinched by him. Holding Xiao Jintian's wrist, he saw the thick calluses on his palm.

Qian Zhou asked, "How strong are you?"

Xiao Jintian's arms, hidden under the armor, were muscular and very powerful.

When he first met Xiao Jintian on the battlefield, he was holding a huge bow and shot the sword in Qianzhou's hand. Qianzhou still remembers the terrifying power of that arrow.

"Why haven't I seen the bow you used before?"

Xiao Jintian took out the long sword, placed it casually on the table, then supported himself on both sides to trap Qian Zhou in front of him.

He found that when Qianzhou asked daily questions like "How strong are you?" and "Where is your bow?", or came to have breakfast with him and said more intimate words like "This food is a bit salty, can you pour me some water?"

Xiao Jintian wanted to cover the third prince's head with a red cloth, tie him up and lock him up in his room. He suddenly had the urge to start a family.

The thought of this man who also fought on the battlefield and had unparalleled martial arts skills made me feel happy.

But now we are in the same room together, and when asked, "How strong are you?", he said, "Why can't I see your bow?"

Xiao Jintian will have some psychological and physiological reactions.

Qian Zhou felt it, his body stiffened, and his upper body leaned back slightly, "Why don't you deal with it first..."

Xiao Jintian looked down, his face as thick as a city wall, and said, "Help me."

Qian Zhou pulled his hand back abruptly, "You, do it yourself!"

When Yinwu came to deliver breakfast, no one paid any attention to him, but there were some subtle noises inside, probably indicating that a fight had broken out again.

He shook his head, put the breakfast back into the pot, and went to help the servants move their winter supplies.

No one knew what happened, but Xiao Jintian seemed to be in a good mood all day.

The servants were busy preparing for winter, while Xiao Jintian was busy arranging patrols outside the city.

Although everyone has a consensus to stop fighting and rest when winter comes, one reason is that it is too cold in the north in winter, and the other is that the resources are almost exhausted throughout the year.

But Xiao Jintian couldn't really be completely defenseless, otherwise Beili would have been killed long ago.

Since Xiao Jintian left a few days ago, he never returned the mask to Qianzhou. When Qianzhou met Yinwu for the first time in the kitchen without wearing a mask, Yinwu didn't recognize him.

Qian Zhou's nose was frozen red, and he just said that he was Yuan Hao's brother-in-law.

So Yinwu nodded, not caring much, and continued to get busy.

He really thought Qian Zhou was a guest in the mansion, but for several days in a row, he saw his expression when he came out of the Third Prince's room, stunned and bewildered, and he couldn't believe it.

Qianzhou: Does it make such a big difference whether I wear a mask or not?

[System 052: Actually, that Shura mask is ugly]

Qianzhou: Okay.

The Wolf King's Mansion officially began preparations for winter. The servants were busy since morning. They laid a thick layer of animal skin under Xiao Jintian's desk and replaced the bedding with thicker ones.

The snow in Beili usually falls very heavily. Several guards armed with knives worked together to help the servants move out the large shovels that had been covered in dust for a long time. The knives that had not been worn on their waists for many years were piled on the stove in the back kitchen.

The cold blade was touched by the steam rising from the dense white porridge.

Qianzhou leaned against the door and listened to them say that they wanted to clean the entire Wolf King's Mansion thoroughly so that they could relax during the New Year.

He found that not only the servants were busy with these things, but the knife-wielding guards carefully trained by Xiao Jintian were also working together, and the soldiers guarding the door could also get a bowl of hot rice porridge.

The entire Wolf King's Mansion was like one family. Qian Zhou leaned against the window and looked at them, tapping the white frost on his hands with his fingers.

"Your Highness, would you like some?" Yin Wu held a bowl and handed it to the window.

Qianzhou opened the wooden window very high and looked into the bowl. There were two more pieces of green vegetables, three spoonfuls of minced beef, and pickled mustard greens in the bowl.

There were even two halves of freshly cooked soft-boiled eggs, with the yolk in the middle about to flow out in the heat.

It has good color, aroma and taste.

He looked up at the group of people sitting on the steps in the distance, who had just been looking at this side eagerly.

As soon as Qianzhou looked at them, they lowered their heads nervously, afraid of offending him.

Yin Wu said, "They've been watching you by the window for quite a while."

Qian Zhou smiled and suddenly felt that the servants in Xiao Jintian Mansion were quite cute, so he took the bowl of porridge.

Close the window, sit at the table and eat quickly.

When he went out again, Qianzhou was wrapped in a cotton cloak, took the empty bowl and filled it with some more porridge, then squatted on the steps to join in the fun.

He was good-looking and spoke in a humble manner, and he quickly became one of the people chatting with him.

This was the scene Xiao Jintian saw when he came back. Qian Zhou smiled and clinked bowls with the group of people.

"The king is back."

Everyone stood up and greeted Xiao Jintian before leaving. The servants in the kitchen brought Xiao Jintian another bowl of freshly cooked porridge with minced vegetables, beef and pickled mustard greens.

Qian Zhou was still sitting on the steps, looking up at him and saying, "You scared them all away when you came."

It sounds quite blaming.

Xiao Jintian sat next to him with a bowl in his hand. "What did you just say? Let's continue our conversation."

He lowered his head and took a big sip from the bowl, finishing half of the porridge. It looked like he hadn't eaten all day.

"They say the Wolf King's Mansion is very lively during the New Year, and you will take them with you to hang lanterns."

Qianzhou's nose and face were red from the cold. "You're still bringing them to hang lanterns?"

Xiao Jintian asked back: "Is this something strange?"

Qian Zhou said, "Anyway, I've never seen the emperor lead the palace servants to hang lanterns."

"This is Beili, not Zhongyuan." Xiao Jintian fastened the belt in front of him. "There aren't so many rules."

Qian Zhou chuckled, "Yes, their king is so kind to a prince of an enemy country, and no one thinks it's ridiculous. Let go."

Xiao Jintian didn't let go, "Who provoked you? Are you taking it out on me?"

Qian Zhou stretched out his hand and pushed him away, "Get out of here! You grabbed my hand and did that thing this morning and you're acting like nothing happened?"

"How can there be someone as shameless as you?"

He stood up and turned hostile without hesitation, determined to win back at Xiao Jintian.

So he deliberately angered Xiao Jintian and said, "Once the Central Plains envoy arrives, I will not stay here any longer."

"Did you hear that, Xiao Jintian?"
