Chapter 24: Slowly Walking and Making a Decision



Xie Ling handed him the bamboo tube.

Gu Wei shook his head gently, with a few strands of hair hanging down between his temples, as beautiful as an ink painting, "Madam, my hands can't move."

The voice of "wife" was so deep and magnetic that it made people's hearts itch.

Xie Ling had no choice but to feed him mouthful by mouthful.

After eating, Xie Ling asked the question in her mind, "Do you have any subordinates? Are they following you?"

Gu Wei nodded and said without hiding anything, "Yes, but only a part of them came. So I released our... our proprietary contact powder."

Xie Ling was a little surprised by Gu Wei's frankness.

Next, take his pulse.

The man's hands on the quilt were whiter than snow. He lowered his eyes and said nothing, allowing Xie Ling to touch him all over.

"It's recovering well. You should be able to walk again in two or three days at most. But your hand doesn't look like it can't move, right?"

Gu Wei pursed his lips, his expression cold and clear, "But I really can't move."

Xie Ling looked doubtful, "Alright. Give me a kiss, okay?"

Gu Wei's eyes curved, "My lady always speaks shockingly."

Xie Ling frowned, "You won't give it to me?"

Gu Wei quickly shook his head, "Shi Jin didn't mean that."

Xie Ling raised her eyebrows and kissed him directly.

Just when she was about to leave, Gu Wei actually bit her lips.

Xie Ling wanted to step back, but the man's big, bony hand suddenly pressed down on the back of her head.

When their eyes met, Gu Wei's calm and cold peach blossom eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars, so handsome that it was captivating.

The lips are deeply ground and the tips of the tongue touch each other.

Gu Wei placed his other hand on Xie Ling's slender waist, and the person in his arms softened into a pool of spring water.

Gu Wei covered his eyes with his crow-feather-like eyelashes and deepened the kiss.

When he let go, Xie Ling gasped for breath and said anxiously, "You!"

Gu Wei's eyes dimmed and his voice was hoarse, "Didn't my wife say to kiss me?"

Xie Ling opened the car curtain and walked out angrily.

Gu Wei smiled as he pulled the quilt over naturally and smoothly.

Where was there any sign of being weak and unable to take care of herself in front of Xie Ling?

When Xie Ling came out, Pei Qiuyue had already cleaned up the pots and pans for food, and even boiled a pot of hot water for Xie Ling to warm her feet.

Xie Ling recalled the strange feeling in her mouth, her pretty face became hot, and she kept comforting herself, it's okay, it's just a kiss...

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss?"

The woman's gentle call brought Xie Ling back to her senses.

Xie Ling glanced sideways and saw Yu Niang standing next to her, looking like she wanted to ask something.

Xie Ling asked, "Yu Niang, what's the matter?"

Yu Niang looked a little shy, "When you were making the bamboo rice today, my husband smelled it and said it was delicious, so I wanted to ask you if you could teach me how to make it?"

Then, Yu Niang waved her hand again, "It's okay if it's not possible. This is Miss Xie's own original craft. I won't think too much about it."

Xie Ling smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll teach you. This is not a unique skill. I also learned it from others."

As he spoke, he taught Yu Niang how to make bamboo tube rice and also gave her some ham sausage and soy sauce.

Even if the taste is not as good as hers, it should not be much worse. Bamboo tube rice emphasizes the fragrance of bamboo.

While Xie Ling was speaking, Yu Niang brushed her slightly swollen lips imperceptibly.

After returning home, Yu Niang thought about it and decided to tell Xu Xingzhi about this matter.

She felt that this discovery should be more important to Xu Xingzhi.

"My husband, I suspect that the prince is not unconscious, but awake."

Xu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"

Yu Niang was too embarrassed to say that she noticed Xie Ling's mouth was swollen from being kissed, so she could only say, "Anyway, this is what I guessed."

Xu Xingzhi knew his wife's character and chuckled, "Okay, I believe you."

After saying this, Xu Xingzhi concealed the thoughts in his eyes.

If the prince is really awake, then the situation in Beijiang is likely to change.

A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in, and it’s time for him to think about his own future.

Xu Xingzhi threw the letters from various forces in his hands into the fire.

The black words on the letter curled up and dissipated into ashes.

"Sir, you are very talented, why do you cling to Beijiang? Why don't you come to our country and serve our lord..."

In troubled times, talented people are hard to come by.

Xu Xingzhi is a man of great talent and is good at planning and strategizing. He is definitely not an ordinary person.

Ever since the news of his exile spread, various forces have been trying to win him over.

The rising flames illuminated Xu Xingzhi's clear pupils, and a fresh fragrance of bamboo and wood lingered around his nose.

He raised his eyes and asked in surprise, "Yu Niang, how come you can also make this bamboo rice?"

Yu Niang chuckled, "Miss Xie taught me. She said this is not called bamboo rice, but bamboo tube rice. She also gave me some seasonings and food. This black thing is called soy sauce, and this long thing is called ham sausage. Miss Xie, you are such a good person..."

Xu Xingzhi's eyebrows raised slightly, and thoughts surged in his long eyes.

After a while, he said, "Yu Niang, do you like Miss Xie?"

Yu Niang said happily: "I like it. Miss Xie is a person with a cold face but a warm heart. She will be nice to anyone who treats her well."

Xu Xingzhi took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"Well, we'll just follow Miss Xie's family from now on, okay?"

"OK."

Yu Niang didn't know that her words determined the fate of the Xu family and even millions of people.

Xu Xingzhi stood with his hands behind his back, his wide sleeves fluttering, looking towards the dark blue sky where the bright moon was rising.

From then on, he walked slowly and followed Gu Wei.

When historians of later generations wrote about how the famous prime minister Xu Xingzhi was recruited by the greatest emperor of all time, they affectionately called it "bamboo tube fate."
