[Huo Zhige.]
[Him? He won the battle but didn't return with the main army; instead, he rode back alone at breakneck speed?]
【Okay!】
After answering, Little Mirror nervously went underwater.
I didn't know before, but now I do. It must have been when the Crown Prince was enjoying himself that the other five emperors felt the same way, which is why they all went crazy and rushed to the capital.
From his observation, they would all be able to gather in Beijing before the end of the year, and then there would be quite a commotion.
Fang Ruotang hadn't seen Huo Zhige for a while, so she asked the carriage to stop and wait. Soon, a man and a horse galloped past their carriage like a whirlwind.
Is this person's eyesight failing?
[You didn't even get out of the carriage, how did he know it was you inside?]
[Tsk, never mind, see you when we get back to Beijing!]
Before Fang Ruotang could finish speaking, she heard a horse neighing, and then the horse turned its head around.
"Little cutie?"
Fang Ruotang sat in the carriage and listened to his voice. It was a little different. Huo Zhige's voice was a clear, youthful voice, full of vitality, but this person's voice had a slightly husky quality.
"Huo Zhige?"
Fang Ruotang lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out.
When she saw him, she was startled and asked in horror, "Why do you look like a wild man?"
Huo Zhige gritted his teeth, "What do you think!"
He was fighting tooth and nail outside, getting more wounds on his body, while the Crown Prince was enjoying the company of beauties in the capital, and even embracing his beloved. He really wanted to tear him to pieces.
"Isn't the war going smoothly? Are you in such a hurry to get back? Actually, there's no need to rush." Fang Ruotang tilted her head and asked innocently.
Even though she already knew that all six of them could hear her thoughts and understand her plans, she never imagined that the six of them would have friction over this.
After all, Ye Wuxia didn't mention anything.
"Urgent! Very urgent, extremely urgent! I need to find someone to settle accounts with." Huo Zhige gritted his teeth.
Fang Ruotang noticed that there was some frost on his head and said, "We're not far from the capital now. Why don't you take my carriage back? Riding a horse in this weather is too tiring."
Huo Zhige leaped onto the horse.
Seeing this, Jin Wuyou got off the carriage and went to the one behind it.
Fang Ruotang stared wide-eyed at Huo Zhige, who looked like a wild man, and asked hesitantly, "Are you chasing after a debt? Does someone owe you money? You're being way too hasty!"
Huo Zhige at this moment was no longer the dashing young man he was when they first met. Even though he had kidnapped her and was being hunted down by the Crown Prince throughout the city, he was still arrogant and unrestrained.
But the person in front of him looked like a bandit who had been hiding in the mountains for a month or two. His face and lips were cracked from the cold, and his hands were covered with chilblains. His ten fingers were red and swollen, like big radishes.
[How much money did he lose! My goodness! I almost didn't recognize him.]
Huo Zhige felt a mixture of love and hate for Fang Ruotang at this moment. He reached out to pull Fang Ruotang into his arms, but Fang Ruotang reacted quickly and cried out.
"Ahhh, don't touch me!"
Huo Zhige's hand froze in mid-air, momentarily stunned, as if his whole being was about to shatter, like a puppy abandoned by its owner, his eyes red as he looked at Fang Ruotang.
"...So you've chosen him, you've made up your mind?"
After the war ended, Huo Zhige traveled non-stop, and his voice became so hoarse that it sounded unfamiliar to him.
"What?! You stink! What do you want? You don't want to hug me, you don't want to kiss me, do you? No! I don't want to! You've been traveling for days, did you even rinse your mouth? Do you want to make me stink to death? Back! Back! Back!"
Fang Ruotang spoke incessantly, every cell in her body expressing her disdain for Huo Zhige.
Huo Zhige was stunned for a moment, but then burst into laughter as if the storm had passed.
"You mean if I'm all clean and tidy, I can hug and kiss you?"
"Of course not!"
Huo Zhige's smile vanished abruptly, his heart clenching with anguish.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You say no, then no! I'm going to do it today!"
"You want to hurt me?"
Faced with Fang Ruotang's accusation, Huo Zhige suddenly froze in his lunge towards her.
Fang Ruotang was holding a pillow to her chest, looking at him warily.
"Look at you, you're covered in illnesses, and your voice is hoarse. You didn't catch a cold, did you? Oh, you bad person, you have a cold and you want to infect me. Do you think you'll get better if you pass on your illness to me?"
Huo Zhige glared at Fang Ruotang through gritted teeth, and finally commented with just four words.
"Nonsense and unreasonable arguments."
"Hmph! You're feeling guilty, didn't I tell you I was right!"
[You're filthy and smelly, and you still want to kiss me? Dream on!]
Fang Ruotang is a very clean girl. In the summer, she can't stand even a little bit of sweat and has to take a shower immediately. How could she allow Huo Zhige to pounce on her like this?
She even felt that if Huo Zhige's clothes hadn't been so damp and wet, he would have shaken off a layer of mud immediately, since she couldn't even tell the original color of the clothes anymore.
"Alright! Sit still, and don't come over here again. Let's just talk like this." Fang Ruotang pointed to the door, wishing Huo Zhige would sit in the driver's seat outside.
Huo Zhige could see that Fang Ruotang was genuinely dissatisfied, and he wanted to press down on her and rub her face in disgust, but he knew that the little cutie spoke frankly, and if she didn't like it, she really didn't.
Even though Huo Zhige really wanted a hug, he didn't do anything to upset Fang Ruotang. Besides, he had already realized what had happened after being given a cold shower.
He was already sick, and his clothes were wet and damp; he didn't want Fang Ruotang to get sick too.
Huo Zhige moved back a little and stopped getting closer to Fang Ruotang, but his gaze remained fixed on her with intense longing in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour her.
"Tell me! Who owes you money? I'll help you get it back, but I'll take 30% interest. How about it?" Fang Ruotang looked at Huo Zhige with a smile, her big eyes gleaming like a shrewd businessman.
After all, birds of a feather flock together.
She used to be detached from worldly affairs, but now, well, she has Jin Wuyou by her side!
Jin Wuyou is the daughter of a merchant and the only child in her family. She has been involved in business since she was a child. No matter how much she acts like a young lady from an official family in front of Fang Ruotang, she is still a young girl who is good at doing business. In particular, she is in charge of the income and expenditure of Tianyi Sect, so some things are bound to be revealed.
The anger that had just been suppressed rose again in Huo Zhige's heart.
He made a startling statement.
"I have no debts to collect, but I'm preparing to rebel!"
"oh……"
Huo Zhige was surprised, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"No! You're going to rebel sooner or later anyway, after all... who can blame you for being so outstanding! Hehe, are you trying to steal me from the Crown Prince?"
Fang Ruotang shifted her small body forward slightly, her smile even a little mischievous, and Huo Zhige reached out and poked her chubby little face.
Fang Ruotang felt a chill run down her spine and recoiled abruptly.
"Why are your hands so cold? And why aren't you taking your medicine? I gave you some Qi-Nourishing Pills, take them quickly!"
