Chapter 44 Chu heard the news! ! !
Tuoba Xun is a very strange person.
Chu Mo did not lie to Jing Xuan. Tuoba Xun really hated being told that he was born gorgeous and had an extremely beautiful appearance.
If anyone mentioned it, he would be furious and would dig out that person's eyes.
But on the other hand, he hated it most when someone hit his face, not to mention that Chu Mo beat him up so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, and he looked very embarrassed.
But he had no choice. Firstly, he and Chu Mo had a good relationship, and secondly... he couldn't win.
Among Chu Mo, Tuoba Xun and Jing Ce, Chu Mo is undoubtedly the best in martial arts.
Tuoba Xun is certainly not bad, but he is still a long way behind Chu Mo.
Having known each other since childhood, they have similar levels and are evenly matched. Neither of them can gain any advantage. Only Jing Ce, who sits and watches the fight, does not look embarrassed.
A few years passed, the boy grew up, but Tuoba Xun could not catch up with Chu Mo.
Actually, this is normal.
In the past few years, Chu Mo has been fighting on the battlefield, hovering between life and death.
After he ascended to the throne of the grassland king, he seldom saw him standing on his horse or drawing his sword.
Chu Mo is growing up, and he is also growing up, just in a different direction.
Tuoba Xun didn't bother about it much.
"No, no, I have to go look in the mirror." His face hurt when he touched it, and he couldn't imagine what he looked like.
He stood up and went into the room. Chu Mo looked at his back, speechless.
Suddenly, he smiled and looked towards the gate first.
The next moment, a soft and sweet voice sounded: "Chu Xiaomo, I'm back!"
His voice was laughing and he looked quite excited.
Chu Mo smiled and looked into a pair of clear amber eyes: "Are you back? Did you have a good time?"
“Very good, had a lot of delicious food.”
Chu Mo was helpless: "Just went to eat?"
"How is that possible?" Jing Xuan lowered her head and touched her waist, stunned: "Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"I bought something for you, but I left it in the yard."
Just now she went back to the yard, tidied up, and then went out.
Unexpectedly, she not only left Chu Xue in the yard, but also left the wooden box behind.
"Forget it, I'll give it to you tonight." Jing Yu jumped and sat next to Chu Mo, lowering her voice and saying, "I met someone on the street."
Seeing her mysterious look, Chu Mo agreed and pretended to be curious: "Who is it?"
"Someone with a diseased brain."
Chu Mo: “…I think so too.”
"I'll tell you." Jing Yu raised her chin slightly, looking proud and proud. "I know there's something wrong with that person. He has great martial arts skills, but he's deliberately hiding them. Do you know why?"
Chu Mo smiled: "Why?"
"You want to test me." Jing Yu's eyes were dim: "You really have a dark heart."
"oh?"
"Do you know who he is?"
Jing Xuan looked around and observed that there was no one else in the yard. It seemed that Tuoba Xun had not arrived yet, and Chu Mo should not know.
Sure enough, Chu Mo raised his eyebrows curiously: "Who is it?"
Jing Xuan leaned close to Chu Mo's ear and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped and turned her head abruptly, just in time to meet a pair of swollen eyes.
Jing Yu was startled: "Who are you?"
"So... you two recognized her." Tuoba Xun narrowed his eyes and looked her over and over, as if he had no idea that Jing Xuan was his fake cousin.
I have to say, among the three people present, each one is better at acting than the other, and the most honest one is our little princess.
The little princess was a little confused. She clearly didn't feel the presence of anyone else.
besides……
He walked out of Chu Mo's room.
Jing Yu: “???”
She has read too many storybooks and has an extraordinary imagination.
I don't know why, but my mind is full of the feeling of déjà vu: you were with me, and you were hiding someone outside, but I finally caught you. I was speechless for a moment.
Chu Mo ignored Tuoba Xun and introduced Jing Xuan, who was lost in thought, "Tuoba Xun."
Jing Xuan's eyes widened, staring at Tuoba Xun, her expression changing several times. After a while, she suddenly realized: "Hiss... So what you said is true."
This sentence was said to Chu Mo, for his words "When someone praises Tuoba Xun's beauty, his veins will bulge, his eyeballs will bulge, his hair will be messy, and blood will flow from his seven orifices, and he will immediately become an ugly monster."
Although there is a difference, it’s also... not that bad.
Chu Mo: “…”
He coughed lightly a few times, did not answer, and agreed.
Tuoba Xun's eyebrows jumped, and his face was unhappy: "What did you say again?"
Chu Mo glanced at him, then slowly looked up at the sky, looking like a guilty thief.
Tuoba Xun's face darkened and he turned his eyes to look at Jing Xuan.
Jing Xuan quickly lowered her head and stared at her toes.
Tuoba Xun felt that there was no warmth left in the world, "...Goodbye, I want to go back to the grassland."
"Goodbye." Mr. Chu's positive attitude is simply beyond description.
Tuoba Xun: “…”
What does it mean to be careless in making friends? That's it.
He snorted unhappily, raised a playful smile, and said to Chu Mo: "Would you like to introduce her? Your cousin."
The word "cousin" is full of meaning.
Chu Mo's voice was light and his words were brief: "Chu Yu."
Jing Xuan nodded obediently.
"妧." Tuoba Xun's voice was low and magnetic, and the word seemed to be bitten by him and spilled out of his lips, carrying an unspeakable meaning.
"What a nice name." He chuckled.
Chu Mo glanced at him and said nothing.
Tuoba Xun said to Jing Xuan: "I was rude just now. I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm."
Jing Yu nodded, very understanding: "I know, you are deliberately testing me."
Tuoba Xun choked and thought to himself, this girl is really straightforward, he didn't know what to say.
Chu Mo quietly curled his lips aside.
"I'll buy you some sugar cookies tomorrow as an apology."
"No need." Chu Mo, who had been silent the whole time, said calmly, "I'll buy it for her."
"Okay, it's nice to have some free time." He said, and walked to the stone bench and sat down together.
There were exactly three stone benches, and three people sat around the stone table, with the shade of big trees above their heads and mossy stone bricks under their feet.
Three people who would never sit at the same table together sat quietly, giving the illusion that all the good friends were at the same table.
Seeing his good friend, Tuoba Xun couldn't stop talking. He asked again after a few breaths: "Where do I live?"
"East Courtyard." Chu Mo said, "I'll take you there later."
Tuoba Xun lazily clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Chu."
General Chu didn't appreciate it and asked coldly, "When are you leaving?"
Tuoba Xun: "...I need to remind you that I just arrived."
"So I'm asking you how long you'll be gone because there's a problem." Quite honestly.
Tuoba Xun's mouth twitched: "No."
As he spoke, he unfolded a paper fan and fanned it gently: "I'll be leaving in a few days."
Chu Mo: "The North Courtyard is where the women live. If you don't have anything to do, don't go there. It's best not to go there. The West Courtyard is where the generals live."
Tuoba Xun turned his eyes to look at Jing Xuan: "Cousin, do you also live in the North Courtyard?"
Jing Xuan nodded.
"Tuoba Xun." Chu Mo warned in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
"You'd better know, otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship." Chu Mo glanced at Jing Yu and said, "Would you like to have dinner together?"
The voice was so gentle that it gave Tuoba Xun goosebumps.
Jing Xuan shook her head: "I have an appointment with Sister Li."
Chu Mo responded, his emotions unclear.
"I'll come to see you after dinner." Jing Xuan said with a smile.
"Okay." Chu Mo chuckled.
Tuoba Xun: “…”
This kid is really weird. He wants to deceive your brother? impossible! !
Jing Xuan left after a short while, and Chu Mo withdrew his gaze only when her back completely disappeared from his sight.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Maybe someone's skin is itchy again.
Chu Mo ignored him and stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the East Courtyard. Aren't you tired?"
"I'm tired." Tuoba Xun said, "I was also traveling while playing, and I didn't wrong myself at all, but I'm still so tired."
"Chu Wenxi, am I old?"
"yes."
"...Do you know that I want you to answer 'no' to this sentence?"
“I don’t know.”
Tuoba Xun was surprised: "You are so boring, why does my cousin like you?"
Chu Mo paused: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Tsk tsk, I don't believe you don't know." Tuoba Xun rolled his eyes and asked seriously, "What about you?"
Before Chu Mo could answer, Tuoba Xun suddenly had an idea: "By the way, you have someone you like, so you don't like your little cousin?"
Chu Mo: "Shut up!"
His fist hardened, Tuoba Xun's skin tightened and he immediately shut up.
Chu Mo went to the room to get the medicine bottle and threw it directly to him.
Tuoba Xun took it steadily and smiled: "Thank you."
It's so pitiful. He got beaten up and still had to say thank you to others.
Chu Mo took Tuoba Xun to the East Courtyard.
After all, they are guests who have come from afar. Although Chu Mo sounds demanding, in fact, he has given them absolutely everything they need, and the conditions are no worse than Jing Yun's residence.
Tuoba Xun had high requirements for living environment. After looking around, he nodded frequently: "Not bad, not bad. The original resident must have been a person of taste."
Chu Mo glanced at him and didn't say that he arranged this for his men based on his understanding of Tuoba Xun.
Tuoba Xun was indeed tired after walking all the way. After Chu Mo left, he took a shower and went to bed.
Staring at the medicine bottle not far away, he raised his lips and smiled, "This kid is the same as always."
The layout of the room was exactly as he wanted it to be, so how could it be left by the original tenant?
This must be Chu Mo's arrangement.
Tuoba Xun turned over gently, hiding the complex and unspeakable emotions in his eyes.
He has two best friends in his life, and he really has nothing else to ask for.
Even though he and his good friend are enemies, suspicious of each other, and wary of each other, their friendship will never fade.
This trip is for this purpose.
For some reason, Tuoba Xun always had dreams during this period, and all his dreams were about memories of his youth.
The young man was free and easy, drinking and chatting with friends, going to heaven and earth with them, doing justice or eliminating violence.
Talking about philosophy when drunk and picking flowers when sober, it is really enviable.
Really, it makes him envious now...
In the dream, Chu Mo was still the arrogant and domineering young man, Tuoba Xun was still Liu Xun who always fought with him, and Jing Ce was still the one who tried to persuade them to stop fighting. In the end, the three of them were in a melee, fighting so hard that they almost demolished the inn.
Everyone was drunk, their clothes were scattered, and they were full of energy...
At that time, I was free to roam the world.
I’m so envious.
However, dreams always end, dreams always end...
An hour later, Tuoba Xun sat up, covered his face with his hands, and smiled bitterly.
After a moment, he roared loudly: "Fuck you, it turned out to be Chu Wenxi who stole my roast duck!!!"
He quickly packed up and hurried to Chu Mo's yard: "Chu heard it!"
Chu Mo was reading in the room. Hearing this, he went out and looked at the man in red in the yard: "You're barking everywhere after waking up?"
Tuoba Xun choked and said, "Get lost!"
"It's time for dinner. Let's go."
Chu Mo took him to the dining room.
In the past, Chen Fu and Wen Zhixun might not necessarily come back for dinner, but today was different. The King of the Grassland had arrived, and the two had to meet him no matter what.
"Master Tuoba." Chen Fu and Wen Zhixun clasped their fists politely.
Tuoba Xun also clasped his fists and replied: "General Shen, Military Advisor Wen, it's been a long time since we last met. Sorry to bother you."
Wen Zhixun: "Why bother you so much? I hope Master Tuoba will be happy in Yunan Pass."
"Of course, of course."
The three of them exchanged polite words, and General Chu was the first to sit down and start eating.
Seeing this, they smiled at each other, stopped being polite to each other, and sat down together.
It has to be said that Tuoba Xun still likes Central Plains food, which suits his taste.
It was inappropriate for them to talk about state affairs, but it was not appropriate to talk about personal matters, so in the end they said nothing and finished their meal in peace.
Chen Fu missed the cat Xiaohui even more.
After the meal, Tuoba Xun asked, "Is there any wine?"
Chu Mo asked someone to get some wine, and the two of them returned to the yard together and sat on a stone bench to watch the moon.
At first, the two of them were silent and just watched the moon quietly.
Tuoba Xun suddenly said: "After several years, the moon is still this round."
Chu Mo raised his head and took a sip of wine without saying anything.
"But, people have changed." Tuoba Xun smiled bitterly.
Chu Mo: "At this time, instead of staying in the grassland to manage those people, you came to Yunan Pass. What are you thinking about?"
Tuoba Xun said righteously: "Didn't you say so? I'll take a look at the cat."
"Sent away."
"Where did you send it to?"
"The capital."
"To Jing Junze? That guy would like cats?" Tuoba Xun was puzzled, and suddenly said with certainty: "You are lying to me, there is no cat at all."
Chu Mo sneered: "Go out and ask anyone and see what they say."
Apparently, she has it, but: “Why are you sending her away?”
Chu Mo's eyes darkened and he looked at him steadily: "There's going to be a war. It's not safe."
"Not necessarily." Tuoba Xun smiled lazily, "Not necessarily in the short term."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Test me?"
"What do you think?" Chu Mo pushed the question back without showing any emotion.
Tuoba Xun drank a large gulp of wine in a carefree manner. He did not directly answer the question, but said, "You will know when I return to the grassland."
Chu Mo narrowed his eyes: "It's better this way."
Not wanting to talk about these things anymore, Tuoba Xun changed the subject, thinking of the dream he had in the afternoon, and said with some gnashing of teeth, "It's you, it's you who stole my roast duck."
"What roast duck?" Chu Mo frowned: "Are you sick?"
"Ten years of Yong'an." Tuoba Xun said in a faint voice: "I bought a roast duck, but I went out and met a beautiful woman, and when I came back, she was gone."
It’s been too long since the ten years of Yong’an.
But those years of traveling around the world were not only important to Tuoba Xun, but also to Chu Mo.
So, he still remembered the taste of the roast duck and... the excitement of eating it secretly.
but! General Chu remained calm, but added a hint of surprise: "Didn't I say it was eaten by the prince?"
"Yes, yes, you did say that, and then I turned around and had a fight with Zhu Shu. He was furious, I was furious, and you were laughing beside me with greasy eyes."
Chu Mo: “…”
"It's you, right? I analyzed it carefully in my dream this afternoon."
Chu Mo couldn't believe it: "Analyzing in a dream?"
“Strange?”
Chu Mo thought of his two dreams and was silent for a moment: "Not strange."
Tuoba Xun snorted.
Chu Mo, who was cheating and watching the show at that time, would never have thought that this account would finally be settled many years later.
