MTL - Lady Jiao-Chapter 5
Su Zhou had just left Chu Palace, and the two boxes of treasures and eight beauties he donated were sent back.
The housekeeper of Chu Palace is a nanny who is over fifty years old, with a thin figure and a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon.
The housekeeper smiled and said: "It's not that our Highness does not accept General Su's affection, it's just that the matter has not been done, so I don't feel comfortable with such a heavy gift."
Su Zhou smiled warmly, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved, making people feel like a spring breeze: "Since the king of Chu doesn't accept it, I will take it back. Mommy, please go back."
Su Zhou got into the soft sedan chair, and after a while, eight people lifted the sedan chair up.
There was also a child sitting in the sedan chair, the child was only seven or eight years old, and his face was three points similar to Su Zhou's, but the child's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat childish.
This is Su Zhou's nephew Su Huan. Although Su Huan is young, he has a maturity that does not match his age.
He said: "Yun'an Princess Yuan Fei has had a different heart for a long time, she will definitely follow my uncle. Second uncle, I looked at the terrain in the accident area and thought that my uncle might dive into the water with Yuan Fei. Pei Jiu won't allow us To search, we sent secret guards to find the lower reaches of the river in private. Yuan Fei likes luxury. When she falls into the water, she must be found. If she is rescued by the mountain people, her valuables will be pawned in all likelihood. During this period of time, on the one hand, let the dark guards pay attention to whether there are too many people in each household under the river, and on the other hand, let people pay attention to the **** shop."
Su Zhou smiled coldly: "Yuan Fei is such a waste, she is naturally afraid of water, so she won't dive with her."
Su Huan said: "There are contingencies in everything, Second Uncle, let's search as I think first."
"The land of Chu is heavily guarded. The king of Chu is not an idler. Residents in the Lushan area can only move out. Strangers are not allowed to move here. It is not easy for the secret guards to inquire about the news." The smile in Su Zhou Taohua's eyes became colder, "If I alarmed the King of Chu in private, and I will not end well."
Su Huan nodded and said: "If you are in other fiefdoms of Beiyuan Kingdom, princes and princes are easier to bribe. Chu Wang is arrogant, second uncle, during this time, you should visit the Chu Palace a few more times."
When Su Zhou returned to the restaurant and entered the room, the window was suddenly blown open by the wind, and several dark shadows entered: "Second Young Master!"
Two ragged young women were thrown to the floor.
One of the women still had some energy. She coughed a few times lying on the floor, and suddenly raised her head: "General!"
Su Zhou raised the hem of his white robe with one hand, leaned over and said, "I want you to take good care of people—what about people now?"
The woman said: "Princess Yun'an took the lord away and said that he wanted to join you, General, Princess Yun'an was accompanied by three noble ladies. We blocked the assassins in front and were knocked down to the bottom of the cliff..."
Su Zhou's face was livid: "Which side is the assassin from?"
The woman shook her head: "This subordinate doesn't know."
Su Huan walked over slowly, and said: "Second Uncle, lock these two women up first, and now write a letter to ask your family's cronies to contact the people in the original family. We will search for the whereabouts of Princess Yun'an and my uncle in the past two days. "
Su Zhou took a few steps, and finally nodded.
Su Huan was only as high as Su Zhou's waist, and his eyebrows and eyes were very immature, but he was born good-looking, like a fairy child. He said, "Next time I go to Chu Palace, I hope you can take me with you, Second Uncle."
…
When Pei Jiu returned to the mountain, it was already dark.
With the wind blowing, he could smell the smell of burnt things from a distance, walked over quickly, Pei Jiu found half of the kitchen was burnt, the remaining half was blackened, and there were still some sparks on the wood.
Pei Jiu: "???"
His face turned cold: "Yuan Ning!"
The door of the wooden house opened, and Ning'er came back covered in ashes, her eyes were sleepy, and she rubbed her eyes with one hand.
Pei Jiu looked at her carefully.
Ning'er's body was dirty, and her face was smeared black. She opened her eyes in confusion, she should have just woken up.
She looked at Pei Jiu, "Ah, Brother Pei."
Pei Jiu pointed to the side: "What's going on?"
Ning'er rubbed her nose in embarrassment: "I just wanted to make a meal, but I didn't expect to burn half of the house down."
Pei Jiu didn't believe it: "Half burned? How did you put out the fire?"
"There is still half a tank of water, I poured out a little, and I used soil to put out the fire." Ning'er said, "Fortunately, the fire is not too big, but it will exhaust me to death."
Pei Jiu didn't bother with this little trash anymore.
He took out a bag of snacks: "I brought it for you, wash your hands before eating."
Ning'er took it over: "Thank you Brother Pei! By the way, Brother Pei, you go hunting, where is the prey?"
"Sold." Pei Jiu said, "I'll go to bed first."
Ning'er put the snacks aside, took her clothes and took a shower.
After returning, Ning'er sat on the stool to eat some snacks, Pei Jiu had already made the floor and lay down.
Ning'er took small bites: "Brother Pei, are you exhausted today? Do you want me to accompany you tomorrow?"
"No need to."
Pei Jiu's voice was ice-cold, he was a cold and hard person.
Extremely bad attitude.
Ning'er didn't care, anyway, she had a thick skin: "But I'm so boring here by myself."
"Then I'll take you back to your house?"
Ning'er rubbed her nose: "Ah...you don't want to take me home."
This is my third night here.
Ning'er was barely able to close her eyes and go to sleep.
She has been sleeping very badly lately. She sleeps all night and all night, but she can only sleep for a short time.
Pei Jiu felt the woman's breathing gradually eased, and he also closed his eyes.
Pei Jiu has lived for twenty-three years, this is the first time, there is a woman's fragrance in his life.
Pei Jiu was a posthumous child, and his mother passed away during childbirth. From the moment he was born, Pei Jiu seemed to be a curse, and everyone in the royal family respected him at a distance, except Pei Jiu's elder brother, who was also the first emperor.
The first emperor, Tianqi Emperor, was born to Pei Jiu's mother. Three years ago, Tianqi Emperor passed away, and the crown prince Pei Yin ascended the throne, named Mingsi. Pei Yin's mother's queen came from the Xing family, and the queen mother Xing was close to her mother's family, fearing Pei Jiu's power. Emperor Ming Si is weak and afraid of Empress Dowager Xing. Empress Dowager Xing knows that Pei Jiu is loyal to Emperor Tianqi and will not seek rebellion. Emperor Ming Si is the son of Emperor Tianqi, so Pei Jiu will naturally be loyal to the emperor, so Emperor Ming Si and the Xing family provoked many times , forcing Pei Jiu to hand over his military power.
Pei Jiu is not a weak person, but Emperor Tianqi still has three princes, and these three princes' mother clans are weak, Empress Dowager Xing threatened with the lives of these three princes, and vowed that as long as Pei Jiu handed over his military power and left the capital, he would die. It will not endanger the three princes.
For so many years, Pei Jiu was busy with court affairs and never got close to women. He actually doesn't like women, when he was leading the army, the enemy also resorted to beauty tricks to penetrate into the barracks, but Pei Jiu had never been fooled once. Probably because he dislikes those women who are pretentious and slutty like vixens.
Pei Jiu thought that the woman he liked would be a very serious lady, but he suddenly discovered that he didn't seem to dislike Ning'er.
Even if Ning'er's words and deeds are more bold and exaggerated than any woman he has ever seen.
Pei Jiu didn't want to think more, he felt that maybe he and this woman just didn't hate it, and there was nothing else.
There was a faint fragrance on Ning'er's body, the whole room was filled with her fragrance, it smelled really good, but Pei Jiu turned his back on it.
…
In her sleep, Ning'er felt as if someone was pinching her neck, and her breathing became more and more difficult.
Suddenly, an overly handsome face appeared in front of him. It was a man, delicate and glamorous, with a bright red flame pattern between his brows. The man was wearing a red robe, and his left hand was pinching Ning'er's neck. There was a gloomy and cold look on his lips. Smiling: "Good sister, how do you want to die?"
Ning'er screamed and broke out in a cold sweat.
It was still dark, and the cabin was still dark. The dream just now was so real that Ning'er's body was trembling all the time.
In the darkness, her face was pale.
Pei Jiu was naturally woken up by her scream: "A nightmare?"
Ning'er reacted for a long time before finally realizing that the place she is currently in is not her usual place.
Here she is safe.
However, Ning'er still felt fear. In the dream just now, she felt that as long as the man had a little more strength, she would die. She was actually so close to death.
Ning'er rolled off the bed, and got under Pei Jiu's quilt a few steps: "Brother Pei, I'll warm your quilt."
Pei Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Get out!"
Ning'er clung to him like an octopus: "Don't roll."
Pei Jiu had never seen such a brazen woman who would climb under a man's bed in the middle of the night.
Ning'er's body is light and soft, with a faint fragrance of milk and orchid on her body, she put her arms around Pei Jiu's neck: "Anyway, you don't suffer, what's wrong with staying with me all night?"
Pei Jiu's body was stiff, and in the end, he had no choice but to give in to her: "Don't touch me, sleep peacefully."
Ning'er smiled: "Okay."
This man was also clean, with a faint woody aroma, which Ning'er found very familiar and reassuring.
The next day, when Pei Jiu woke up, Ning'er in his arms was still soundly asleep. She was wearing a goose-yellow shirt, and the ink was scattered.
In fact, just looking at Ning'er's appearance, it is impossible to see that she is so bold and shameless.
Ning'er's complexion is very fair, like ice and snow, with long eyelashes and upturned eye tails, and there is a slight sense of weakness between her eyebrows and eyes, as if she is congenitally deficient and has a disease, which arouses the pity of men. When she was sleeping soundly, there was a little coldness between her brows, which softened a little of her frailty and made her appear more serious than usual.
She is too slender, Pei Jiu is very strong, as long as he stretches out his hand to pinch, he can strangle this little trash to death.
Pei Jiu is tall and tall, but Ning'er is petite and exquisite, she hangs on him like a frail little fox hangs on a tiger.
If she doesn't open her eyes or open her mouth, it will be very imaginative, making people think that she is pure and innocent, an innocent girl.
Unfortunately, deep down, this woman is just a vixen.
Pei Jiu pushed Ning'er away.
Ning'er muttered a few words, speaking in the dialect of Nanqiu Country, her voice was soft and soft, as if soaked in warm water, lingering, although it might be a curse word, it was just nice.
Good to hear.
