Chapter 38 Chapter 38 "Ah Xian, you win." ...
Xie Yun seemed to be split into two people.
He discovered the deliberate scheming of the peasant girl and couldn't stop the burning sensation in his throat.
The other him pinched his finger bones hard because of the sudden irritation. He would not have felt this way in the past, but now she lives in the village, dressed brightly and charmingly, and countless people's eyes lingered on her face as she walked along.
He is not the first.
There seemed to be ice in Xie Yun's eyes, and the expression on his face was very dull. He asked Zhang Jingxian to come closer.
He sat in front of the desk, his long legs making the seat look very short. Zhang Jingxian took a look and chose to stand across the desk from him.
She just lowered her head slightly, and a few books placed on the desk came into her sight. On one side of the desk there was a pen holder, inkstone, and brush washer, all of similar colors, which should be a complete set.
However, the pen holder was crooked and looked like it was about to fall over.
Zhang Jingxian didn't think much about it and reached out to straighten the pen holder. She liked to keep things neatly arranged so that she wouldn't get confused when taking them.
A thick shadow fell in front of her. Her fingers trembled. When she looked up, a large hand grasped her waist and suddenly lifted her onto the desk.
Now she is sitting and Xie Yun is standing.
Zhang Jingxian had to tilt her head back a lot to see the expression on his face. He was staring at her with a frown, his hand on her waist not loosening.
She wanted to hide and struggle, so the hand became stronger.
Zhang Jingxian felt a little flustered. She pretended that the last time he sucked her earlobe was unimportant and kept both herself and him in the dark. What was he going to do now?
She hadn't expected it.
"Axian, when you came from the village, did you meet anyone else besides Xie?" Xie Yun lowered his head and asked her softly, his brow bones like towering mountains.
"I've met a lot of people, but I don't know who you are talking about." Zhang Jingxian paused, wondering why he asked this question. Could it be that there was someone he didn't want to meet?
After going through it in her mind, she felt a little frustrated. She couldn't guess who the person he was afraid of was.
A lot of people.
Xie Yun only heard these three words, and a haze appeared in her eyes. He placed his fingertips on her lips and wiped away the bright red rouge.
The same was true on her cheek. The rough touch hurt Zhang Jingxian. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
The more critical the moment, the more she needed to remain calm. She couldn't conflict with him or anger him.
After wiping once, twice, and the third time, all the rouge on the woman's face and lips was gone. Xie Yun stared at it for a long time, and a sigh of satisfaction escaped from his throat.
She was very well-behaved and didn't ask him why he did it, nor did she struggle in anger.
"I've already had people investigate the whereabouts of Ah Xian's cousin and the villagers. They were working under my brother. It's just another form of support. If they weren't incredibly unlucky, they'd still be alive."
It's just done secretly, so as not to be seen by others.
Xie Yun pulled his lip in mockery. Perhaps it was even more ridiculous that among those who attacked him was the cousin that this peasant girl had been thinking about all the time.
"Is it the same as Yi Yu?" Zhang Jingxian finally heard the answer she had been seeking for two lifetimes. She was not calm at all and asked nervously.
She always felt that there was something hidden behind this. In her previous life, he had clearly told her that military secrets should not be inquired about casually!
"It's different from Yu. Ah Xian will know it in the future." Xie Yun took a plain towel and wiped the rouge on her hands. Her expression was cold and it was obvious that she didn't want to say more to her.
But even so, after Zhang Jingxian calmed down her excitement, a slight smile still appeared on her face.
Regardless of whether or not it was the same as Yi Yu's, at least her cousin and the villagers were safe. In her previous life, she had been by his side and had seen a bit of the world. She knew that unless it was an emergency, the people of a large family would never let their own people go to the battlefield.
The dynasty does the work, and the common people just need to take the lead. The people they support have consumed their money and energy, so how can they risk their lives for the world?
As for why her cousin and the villagers suddenly left the army and joined Brother Xie Yun's army, Zhang Jingxian didn't dare to mention it and wouldn't mention it at all. As long as they were alive, it was fine.
Moreover, she thought rather selfishly that if it was with Xie Yun's brother, when the war was over soon, Xie Yun only needed to talk to his brother, and surely her cousin and the villagers would be able to return home more smoothly.
Zhang Jingxian quietly looked towards the door, unable to wait to tell the good news to her uncle, aunt and the anxiously waiting villagers, and... she sat back a little to distance herself from him.
"As we agreed before, please keep my cousin and the villagers safe, and my favor to you will be wiped out."
"Gift."
Xie Yun reminded her calmly, pretending not to notice her small movement to move back.
This is why he tolerated her seducing him.
"Oh, oh." Zhang Jingxian slowed her breathing and told him an address. "I've told you before that there's a craftsman named Gongshu in Wuyang County. He claims to be a descendant of Gongshu Ban, and his woodworking is extremely exquisite."
On the day she and her uncle went into the city to look for Doctor Meng, she took advantage of the time when her uncle was buying meat pies to go to the shop with the words "Gongshu" written on it and ordered a more suitable chariot for Xie Yun.
Anyway, it's better than her craftsmanship.
Xie Yun paused to wipe the rouge from her fingertips, threw the towel aside, and said in a hoarse voice filled with patience and restraint, "Why do you want to give me such a gift?"
"Doctor Meng said that the nobleman has injured his bones and muscles and must be carefully healed. Although the nobleman is anxious, in order to avoid a recurrence of the injury, it is best not to be so stubborn. It won't hurt to sit in the chariot for a while longer."
Zhang Jingxian lowered her eyes, looked at the pen holder she had adjusted, and answered him seriously.
This will be the last time they talk, meet, and their two different lives intersect.
After that, as he said, everything ended there.
After she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh and was about to turn around and come down from the other side of the desk. Xie Yun's breath was heavy, and before she turned around, he grabbed her neck and pressed down on her with his handsome and deep face.
As Zhang Jingxian's eyes widened in panic, his thin lips landed unceremoniously on the tip of her nose.
He first grinded the small, pale mole, then licked it, and finally bit it madly.
When the burning pain came over her, Zhang Jingxian broke out in a cold sweat and she used all her strength to push him away.
However, Xie Yun grabbed both of her wrists with his other hand and forcefully pressed them together.
When he saw the small mole change color as he wished, he let her go, looked at her happily and said, "Ah Xian, come with me. I will make Xiedu and the others serve you as their master, and the deception you worry about will no longer happen."
Zhang Jingxian didn't understand how things had developed to this point. Taking advantage of his relaxation, she pretended to be calm and got down from the desk and retreated to the door.
"I don't understand what you are saying now. I only remember that you promised me that everything ends here."
After saying that, she pinched her palms tightly with her fingertips and looked at Xie Yun as if she was looking at a ghost in the mountains.
After losing all disguises, vigilance, precautions, and a hint of imperceptible fear were all clearly shown on Zhang Jingxian's face.
Just now, she almost thought that she would be eaten by him.
Xie Yun didn't say anything, just stood there and looked at her steadily, as if trying to discern the truth in her words, as if seeing through her flesh and blood to her heart.
After a long time, he said calmly, "Some methods have been used once, and I will not tolerate them a second time."
Whether she was angry because he had deceived her or he was playing hard to get, it was enough now.
Gong Chengyue came yesterday, and he will only stay in Xishan Village for a few more days at most.
"The day after tomorrow, I will leave."
Xie Yun thought about it and gave a specific date. He reserved these two days for her, her uncle, and those wild animals that could not speak human language to say goodbye.
"Then I'll say it again, I wish you a safe journey." Zhang Jingxian nodded, unwilling to guess what he was thinking. She touched the door and pulled it open with force.
Bright light poured in, and she felt a little warmth, and her cold hands and feet slowly regained consciousness.
Finally, she held her breath, looked at Xie Yun seriously, and turned away.
Xie Yun remained still, a shadow settling on his face. He looked at the peasant girl's back and suddenly sighed, "Ah Xian, you win."
"For the sake of that gift, I admit that I do like you a little bit."
It is extremely difficult for Xie Yun, who is proud by nature, to bow down to someone.
But, on this day, he willingly bowed his head.
However, his tone was still full of arrogance.
When Zhang Jingxian heard what he said, her back froze and she looked back in disbelief. The sunlight cast a layer of luster on her face.
The fine hairs also look beautiful.
Xie Yun clicked his tongue and walked towards her from the dimly lit room. His expression was relaxed and confident of victory.
He believed that she would then give in and agree to leave Xishan Village with him.
"Squeak!" The middle door was opened, breaking the weird and silent atmosphere between the two people.
Gong Chengyue stretched lazily, walked out of the room with a brand new feather fan in his hand, and when he saw Zhang Jingxian, he greeted her with a smile.
"Mrs. Zhang."
Before Zhang Jingxian could react, Xie Yun gave her a cold look.
"Yes, yes, you shouldn't call me Madam Zhang."
Gong Chengyue felt his friend's sinister gaze and changed his words in time, smiling and speaking to the woman who inexplicably lowered her eyelashes.
"Little Madam."
…
At this moment, Zhang Jingxian smelled a stale smell coming from her body, which was the smell of a dead body.
She lowered her head and left silently.
