Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Newlyweds (Not Pure Love Version)...
The Yuan Mansion is not big, but it has everything, including an octagonal flower stand, a moon-shaped gate, a garden, and a summer residence. Today is the first time that Duan Zhiwei has toured the entire Yuan Mansion.
In some special way.
She used to like this water pavilion built on the lotus pond very much. She could lean on the railing to drink tea, appreciate the lotus, eat some lotus cakes, and then look at the water with clear eyes.
If she felt like it, she could find a bamboo pole and tie a line to go fishing. For this hobby, Yuan Shenji specially asked the old housekeeper to order a basket of fish and pour it into the lotus pond for her to play with.
But at this moment, when she was forced to hold on to the pillar of the water pavilion helplessly, Duan Zhiwei developed a psychological shadow towards the water pavilion.
From the corner of her eye, she saw the bulging veins on the man's arm beside her. His arm pushed forward again and again, making her dizzy.
Behind him, Yuan Shenji's lips left her thin shoulders and rubbed her head with his chin, breathing heavily on her ears: "How is it? Can you still bear it?"
Duan Zhiwei quickly said, "I can't bear it anymore, I can't bear it anymore, I'm really tired." She looked at him with a pitiful expression.
This pitiful expression finally seemed to arouse the sympathy of the man behind her. He rubbed Duan Zhiwei's wet hair, then stood up and hugged her.
Duan Zhiwei used both his hands and feet to grab his arm and continued to speak kindly: "I was wrong. I will never laugh at you again."
Last night, the red gauze tent was warm, her hair was loose, her face was as rosy as peach blossoms in March, her hands were tightly grasping the mattress, and the man on her had a tense expression. He stretched out his hand and explored around randomly, and then Duan Zhiwei realized that this man seemed to have no experience at all.
Although Duan Zhiwei didn't have it either, but as a modern person, even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run? She had no choice but to move herself and guide him to take it slowly.
The beauty's eyebrows were lightly raised, which made the hero's waist bent. Yuan Shenji had only heard some dirty talk from his colleagues in the military camp and never took it seriously. This was the first time he felt such pleasure and he enjoyed it very much. Finally, when he quickly withdrew for the first time because of his lack of experience, Yuan Shenji showed a confused expression.
This tall and strong military officer who looked very capable was actually so innocent inside. His confused and surprised expression was so adorable at the moment that Duan Zhiwei couldn't help laughing.
Then they were subjected to crazy "retaliation".
Especially this morning when she finally woke up, the man next to her looked at her deeply, then immediately picked her up and went out, saying that he wanted to introduce her to the house.
Duan Zhiwei reached out to grab the blanket but failed, so he had to hurriedly say, "There is someone outside, there is someone."
Yuan Shenji smiled meaningfully, leaning in and nuzzling her nose: "Don't worry, the housekeeper will be back home for a week, so it's just you and me in the mansion."
It was already the beginning of summer and the weather was very warm. She was not cold even with a light gauze covering her body, so she toured Yuan's mansion in a special way and was finally carried to the waterside pavilion.
Yuan Shenji felt some sympathy for her and was ready to let her go and take her back to her room. However, she said, "I will never laugh at you again," and he fell silent. Then he put her back on the backrest of the pavilion and buried his head in her clothes.
Duan Zhiwei: “?”
She didn't know what she had done to provoke him again. She felt very embarrassed and could only hold his head with her hands to try to stop him. However, she was not as strong as him and her hands were tied behind her back.
She sobbed and panted for a while, then begged for mercy again. It was obvious that the man had no intention of letting her go this time. The two of them made a fuss in the waterside pavilion for half a day. In the end, Duan Zhiwei could only say, "I'm hungry. We didn't have breakfast."
After a busy day yesterday, she ate a big bowl of rice noodles in the evening. In order to delay the wedding ceremony, she also boiled two eggs. Under Yuan Shenji's heavy gaze, she slowly finished it all under great pressure. She was very full and she is not very hungry until now.
But this excuse worked well. Yuan Shenji really stopped, touched her stomach and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it."
Believe that you can cook or believe that I am Qin Shi Huang. Duan Zhiwei complained inwardly and said, "I want to eat the Royal Yellow Queen Mother rice at Yunlai Restaurant."
She felt that she was very smart, as she could enjoy the delicious food at Yunlai Restaurant and escape from the mansion first.
In any case, let’s get out of Yuan’s house first.
Yuan Shenji saw through her little trick at once, but he didn't expose her. He just smiled and said okay.
Duan Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, Yuan Shenji got off the bed, put on casual clothes, went out for a while and came back. Duan Zhiwei was choosing which skirt to wear today, hesitating between a pomegranate red skirt embroidered with tulips and a single-silk green skirt.
Seeing him coming back, Duan Zhiwei asked, "Why are you here again? Is the carriage ready?"
The man was slowly taking off his clothes, revealing his muscular body and broad chest.
Duan Zhiwei took a step back cautiously: "Aren't we going to the restaurant?"
The latter immediately picked her up and put her on the bed: "Go find an idle man, give him some money, go to the restaurant to buy it and send it to me."
Xinchangfang is a market town where officials gather. It can be considered a wealthy area and many people come here to look for jobs.
Duan Zhiwei: “…”
The little angel who came from the sky to save her turned out to be Su Xun.
He wandered outside the gate of Yuan's mansion for two or three hours but still didn't dare to go in. Finally, he saw an idle man knocking on the door with a food box. He quickly straightened his clothes and followed him in.
Yuan Shenji looked unhappy.
His fantasy of having lunch with his new wife in the room with love was completely ruined.
Duan Zhiwei was very happy that she had finally escaped from the clutches of the devil. She happily took a bath, changed her clothes, and tied her hair up. Then she took out the Yunlai Restaurant's Imperial Yellow Queen Mother rice, roasted shrimps, steamed duck with rice wine, and jade fern, and ate them alone in her room.
Su Qi was not very good at dealing with people, but Yuan Shenji's face was too dark, so he noticed it a little.
After all, it’s a rare vacation and no one wants to be disturbed by work. Su Qi looked at him cautiously and had to bite the bullet and explain his purpose.
The night before last in the north of Chang'an City, the night watchman walked to a dilapidated temple and sat under a willow tree. He leaned against the trunk to rest for a while, then he felt something liquid dripping on his face. He thought it was raining, so he reached out and wiped it casually, only to find his hands were covered in black blood.
The night watchman looked up in horror and saw a huge bird perched on the branch of the willow tree. In the moonlight, he saw that the bird had nine heads, one of which had been bitten off by some beast, leaving only a cavity, and black blood kept dripping onto the night watchman's face.
The screams soon attracted the Jinwu Guards who were patrolling the street. The left lieutenant general of the Jinwu Guards was also young and energetic. He drew his bow and shot an arrow, which hit the bird, but the bird was unharmed.
Instead, the bird let out a strange cry, swooped down straight away, and knocked Zuo Zhonglang Jiang to the ground. Several soldiers in his team were pecked to death by the bird, and only one was left with one eye pecked out. Wu Hou reluctantly rode on his horse and brought the wailing Zuo Zhonglang Jiang all the way to Zhuque Street, and only then did the bird disappear.
At present, the Jinwu Guard has lost a team of military marquises, the Left General has a broken arm and a broken leg and is recuperating in his residence, and the general and the general are required to guard the Daming Palace and Zhuque Street according to regulations.
Although Yuan Shenji was acting as the Right General of the Central Army, as a fourth-rank military officer, it was in accordance with the law for him to take a leave of absence after marriage. His superiors were sympathetic and assigned the task to Su Wang, a sixth-rank official.
Su Wang's martial arts skills were mediocre, and he was able to become a sixth-rank official only because of his connections in the court. If he went, he would be courting death, so he gritted his teeth and asked Su Qian to ask Yuan Shenji, who was highly skilled in martial arts, to accompany him privately.
Su Wang and Su Qi were from the same clan, and Su Qi could not bear to see his relative die, so he had to bite the bullet and enter Yuan's mansion.
Yuan Shenji was a man with a strong sense of responsibility. Although he was not happy about his wedding being disturbed, upon hearing that there was such a monster in the capital, he immediately agreed to go to the ruined temple in the north of the city to take a look tonight.
Duan Zhiwei was eating in the room. When he saw him come in, he asked him, "Has everyone left? Come sit down and eat."
Yuan Shenji didn't tell Duan Zhiwei about the ghost bird, fearing that she would worry. He only apologized, "There is a patrol in the north of the city tonight, and I need to go there."
There are such good things.
Duan Zhiwei quickly held back the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, revealing a look of regret and reluctance: "That's such a pity."
After the two of them finished their meal, she sent Yuan Shenji out the door, unable to suppress the joy on her face: "I'll wait for you to come back, Yuan Lang~"
Yuan Shenji found her happy face quite funny and pinched her face: "Go to bed early, no need to wait for me to come back."
The latter nodded obediently, and then returned to the mansion without any reluctance, ready to go back to his room to catch up on some sleep.
The night is as dark as ink, so thick that it cannot be dissolved. Tonight the waning moon is like a hook, and the moonlight shines through the broken roof of the temple, mottled on the ground. The air is filled with a decayed smell mixed with the smell of damp earth.
Su Wang looked like Su Qianxiao, fair and weak, with his legs shaking the whole time as he rode on the horse. Yuan Shenji walked around the ruined temple and held a torch under the willow tree. There were faint traces of blood on the soil there, and he could smell a hint of blood when he got closer.
There were traces of dragging on the other side, which seemed to be consistent with what General Zuo Zhonglang said.
Finally, he looked at the willow branches, where the claws of a big bird had been perched. It seemed that this bird was not only big, but also had very sharp claws. It had penetrated deeply into the willow tree, leaving extremely long and deep claw marks.
Today, three teams of warriors were brought here, each holding a torch. With so many people and so much power, Su Wang felt relieved at first. But when Yuan Shenji showed him the claw marks, he started to tremble with fear again.
All we can do now is pray that the bird doesn’t appear again tonight.
Su Wang was timid and had average martial arts skills, but he had good luck. Apart from the fact that he almost fell off his horse due to the panicked flight of crows in the middle of the night, nothing else happened to him.
When the sky in the east began to lighten, Yuan Shenji had no choice but to return home with Wu Hou.
He returned to his residence in the fog, and first went back to the room to take a look. Duan Zhiwei was sleeping soundly in the bed.
He calmed down, bent down to kiss her, went to the fire room to eat a steamed bun, washed up, and squeezed into the quilt. The quilt was warm and fragrant, much better than that dilapidated temple filled with thick fog.
Duan Zhiwei was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a pair of large hands reaching out to her waist, pinching it lightly, and then sliding up gently.
She was rubbed awake in a daze.
"You're back, what time is it?"
"It's still early, just after 11:00 a.m." He continued, then asked, "When did you go to bed last night?"
She was still not awake, and her brain was not able to react. She did not understand the other party's hint, and she just honestly replied: "I fell asleep as soon as you left."
"She should have had enough sleep, then." He thought for a moment, then moved closer and tore off her clothes.
"What are you doing?"
"I just said that it's still early. Come on, call Yuan Lang twice again."
