Chapter 83 Swinging

She pursed her lips and tried to sit on it slowly.

Her knees rested on the not-so-soft bed, and she slowly let out a breath, and suddenly she missed the soft bed in the capital.

She tried to shrink her body, looked up, and met his eyes.

"...Do you feel it?"

Before he answered, she tried to move again.

The hand holding her knee tightened, as if answering silently.

She frowned slightly and said softly: "I don't think I will."

The candlelight was dim, and he looked at her smooth shoulders quietly: "...Actually, you will feel much better if you relax a little."

He could feel that Ning Yuan was actually very tense.

Maybe he was the dominant one in this matter before, and she just needed to relax and immerse herself under his guidance.

But now, she was considerate of his injury and willing to take the initiative to ask for it, of course he was very happy.

But besides being happy, he also hoped that she could do it openly.

Instead of being bound by some invisible burden.

After all, physical pleasure is one level, and the pleasure of resonating with her in the process is another level.

He didn't want her to only serve him, but not be happy.

"Yuanyuan, don't be afraid. The wound won't open so easily."

"How do you know?"

"Because I trust you very much."

"I did what you said and didn't move."

She tried to get up: "...Do you want to blow out the candle?"

He still pressed her legs: "No."

"...Don't look at me, I'm shy."

"But you are really beautiful." He said sincerely, "I like looking at you like this."

Ning Yuan listened to her heartbeat again and again, frowned slightly, and tried to magnify her movements.

"You..." Shen Yan's encouraging words that had not yet been spoken turned into a light exhalation.

She was really smart and learned everything quickly. She

tried a few more times, and finally gradually mastered it. When she looked at him again, her eyes were filled with the joy of a little beast returning from its first hunt.

He really liked to see her expression like this.

Bright and outgoing, a change from her usual gentleness and tranquility.

If she had grown up in a family surrounded by love since childhood, she would have been the most dazzling girl in Beijing.

...

After an unknown amount of time, the wind and rain finally stopped.

Ning Yuan lay on the bed. Although she was not sleepy at all, she was also completely exhausted.

She turned her head, resting her head on her black hair and looking at him, muttering, "Aren't you tired on weekdays?"

Shen Yan said, "No."

"You just lack practice. We just need to practice more in the future."

Her face flushed: "You wish."

She shrank closer to Shen Yan, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "My waist is a little sore."

His big hand came down and rubbed it gently.

She raised her finger and touched the gauze around her waist: "Is the wound open?"

"No." He kissed the top of her head, "You did a good job."

At first, he felt that he deserved the hairpin she stabbed him with.

This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you. It was her first time to go to such a far place with him. She didn't feel safe at all, but he joked with her and made her run into the mountains alone. It was too late for her to catch up, leaving her alone to face danger.

She hurt him just to protect herself, which was good, and he would not blame her.

Now, he is grateful for this wound.

Without this wound, he might not have understood her more so early.

"I'll change the medicine for you tomorrow." She said softly.

He said "um" lightly.

It feels good to be cared for by her.

The warm sunlight poured in through the wooden window, completely dispelling the gloom left by the heavy rain.

When she changed the bandage for him last night, she applied a new layer of bandage on the area that had been pre-treated, so she didn't see the true appearance of the wound.

Today, when she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Yan had just returned from a bath.

His clothes were loosely draped over his shoulders, and the warm light that leaked in sprinkled on his chest, illuminating the glittering water droplets that had not been completely wiped clean.

She casually put on a piece of clothing, and her voice was lazy as if she had just woken up: "You are injured, why are you bathing alone?"

"Why don't you ask me to help you?"

She said she wanted to bathe with him?

Shen Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down and he said, "Tonight."

Ning Yuan sensed something was wrong and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm just talking about taking a bath."

She walked up to him, her slender white arms already around his waist, but she still asked an extra question, "Can you show it to me?"

When she asked this, Shen Yan suddenly wasn't sure what she wanted to see, but he still tried his best to tighten the muscles on his waist and said, "Okay."

Although he had been honest with her several times in the past, he had been on the road for a long time and hadn't practiced swords for a long time. I don't know if the muscles on his waist would be less obvious.

Would she dislike that he was not as good-looking as before?

Ning Yuan untied the gauze, squatted down, took the wet handkerchief, and cleaned off the remnants of the ointment last night for him.

She moved very gently, for fear of hurting him, but she still felt his lower abdomen getting tighter and tighter.

"Did I hurt you?" She raised her eyes and asked.

He met her gaze and suddenly felt dry in the mouth.

"It doesn't hurt."

Ning Yuan continued to wipe the wound for him with her head down, ignoring the part that was growing little by little.

She felt that this was human nature.

No normal man would remain indifferent when his wife gently wiped the wound on his lower abdomen, right?

When the wound was completely exposed to Ning Yuan's eyes, she couldn't help but feel shocked. Only then did she realize how ruthless she was when she was extremely eager to survive.

Although the wound was not wide, the blood scab was red and almost black, which showed that he was deeply injured.

If she didn't see his blood, she might be able to see the bones.

"It's so long." She sighed slightly.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Shen Yan curled his lips and felt his cheeks were a little hot.

Ning Yuan looked up at the man in confusion and found that the tips of his ears were a little red.

"...I'm talking about your injury."

The man choked and said "Oh" in embarrassment.

She changed the medicine for him, and after having breakfast together, they left the carriage in the village and set off lightly.

Ning Yuan rode on the same horse with him, and asked, "How did you get involved with these bandits?"

He said patiently, "Many years ago, Yangzhou Prefecture was often disturbed by bandits, and the people suffered terribly. I and another adult were ordered by His Majesty to bring people here to suppress the bandits."

"At that time, I was still young and frivolous. They fought and retreated repeatedly, so we wanted to pursue them and soon surrounded them in the mountain stronghold."

"I thought I could easily catch them all in one fell swoop, but when we surrounded the mountain, the officers and soldiers who were seconded to suppress the bandits turned against us and joined the bandits to suppress us who came from the capital."

"Soon, countless people we brought were killed and injured."

"At that time, I thought that at worst I would die here, but who knew that the gentleman hid me in a cave and told me not to come out no matter what happened."

"But after he came out, I watched him kneel down and surrender to the provincial government at that time." At this point, he paused, "The gentleman even took the heads of the brothers who died here as proof of the suppression of bandits and asked for credit from His Majesty."

"Ah! How could this be!"

Ning Yuan's eyes widened, and his voice was a little angry.

"He is my savior, but I was also going crazy because of him at that time." Shen Yan laughed to himself.

"I couldn't swallow this, so I started to investigate secretly, but I found out that the reason why this mountain stronghold was so unscrupulous was because it was protected by the officials of the state government at that time."

"Every time the bandits robbed, 70% of the proceeds were given to those corrupt people. In addition, they would also secretly help the state government do some targeted burning, killing and looting. It can be said that they have become the right-hand man of the local government."

"A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake." Ning Yuan blinked and said with emotion, "So, now that you have such a good relationship with them, are you going to abandon your principles..."

"Your family is so rich! Could it be that it's because of corruption!"

"Can you hope for me?" Shen Yan said with a sullen face.

He went on, "I no longer acted impulsively out of passion, but asked His Majesty to select a few undercover agents from the secret guards, and had them lurk in the mountain stronghold to find out the appearance and name of everyone here." "

On a snowy day, he led people to quietly clear out the bandits here, and ordered me to carefully select people to pretend to be the one who looked most like them, playing a trick of replacing one thing with another." "

Later, he pretended to collude, but actually secretly collected evidence until the whole state government was completely cleared out."

Ning Yuan opened his mouth in surprise, "So... that is to say, those people in the mountain stronghold are not real bandits?"

"No." He smiled lightly, "Now it's better to say that it's a mountain stronghold than an intelligence station."

"They replaced the bandits who had been entrenched here for years and lived here in hiding." He lowered his eyes and looked at her and said, "The person called Sanniang was the wife of their leader."

"And now this Sanniang is responsible for communicating with Mingjue and taking care of things. Her real husband is pretending to be the one who used to be the accountant in the village."

"Accountant?" She was surprised.

A man who looks so fierce actually goes to be the accountant?

"So...she told me at the beginning that the bearded man with a frown was her husband, and she didn't intend to hide it from me at all..."

It's just that she herself has never heard Shen Yan talk about these things.

Ning Yuan scratched her head and found that stereotypes are really bad.

"Then...what about that gentleman?"

"Him..."

Shen Yan sighed, his normally calm eyes dimmed.

"Cut off his head and set an example for everyone."

His breath fell on her neck, and she couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of her neck, and shrank her neck.

"This can be considered as evil deeds being rewarded with evil."

Shen Yan said lightly, "Really?"

"He said something before he was executed."

"I have been hiding for many years. If I can one day see the termites being killed with my own eyes, I will not be worthy of the wronged souls in the mountains."

Ning Yuan bit her lip, "So... he was working undercover for you, working with you from inside and outside?"

Shen Yan was silent for a moment, "He should have thought so when he hid me in the cave."

"Then he should be a hero..." "

But later, it is true that he shared the spoils with those people and killed people for them." He said lightly.

"Ah...?"

"Every interest group will conduct a loyalty test before accepting new members. When a person personally does those messy things and truly becomes a member of their group, will he not be shaken by the wealth and status that are within his reach all day long?"

"So, Yuanyuan, the original intention is very important."

"I believe that what he thought in his heart at the beginning must not be seen through by them, so they obeyed his words. But if they obey for a long time, they will inevitably lose their way and become accomplices." This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. "As for the words he said on the execution ground... it was just to comfort himself for his life of making mistakes at every step, so as to give him a reason to die bravely."

Ning Yuan felt mixed emotions. She raised her eyes and looked at him, and suddenly she saw a kind of sadness in Shen Yan.

She used to think he was aloof and capable of managing things, but now she gradually discovered that his calmness, which was inconsistent with his age, came from the fact that he had experienced a lot at an early age.

As for the parts he has never experienced, such as emotions, he will show his childishness and helplessness.

But it doesn't matter, it's cute, and she can grow with him.

"So, I always think that as long as you stick to your heart, how to do it is much more important than how to say it." He said in a deep voice.

"But expression is equally important." She blinked.

He lowered his eyes and met her gaze.

"Expression can play a role in giving yourself psychological hints."

"Wrong logic." He looked away.

"If you don't believe it, say I like you again."

"I like you." He said doubtfully.

"I like you too!"

"Good, say it again!"

"...I like you." This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team "I like you too."

"I like you." His voice became softer and softer.

"Me too! So do you think you like me more now?"

He said "hmm" softly, and the smile on his lips could no longer be suppressed. He lowered his head and kissed her ear.

"I love you."
