Adore Trick of Beauty

Xiao Fengming smiled: "Ten miles away from here, there is a small mountain village. Take a rest and then return to the city." Upon hearing this, Nie Wushuang looked at him and her.

Fortunately, Xiao Fengming was wearing the usual dark gray uniform today, and although the skirt on his body was gorgeous, it was hard to tell what his identity was.

She took off the beaded hairpin on her head, pulled up her long and messy hair, got on the horse, and said with a smile: "Then I will let the emperor lead the way."

Xiao Fengming smiled and led the horse slowly towards the distance. The two of them had just experienced a thrilling experience, but now that they knew that the pursuers could not catch up, their expressions had calmed down. If Xiao Fengming hadn't been wary on his face, they could have almost gone on a trip.

The two of them walked for most of the day and finally arrived at a small mountain village. It was almost dusk. Smoke was rising from the village and every household was cooking. The setting sun on the mountainside casts a golden glow, and the thatched cottages in the fields almost look like something out of a painting.

Xiao Fengming helped her dismount, looked at the small village in front of her, turned back and took Nie Wushuang's hand and said, "I'm afraid I have to rest here tonight."

When Nie Wushuang heard this, he was slightly worried: "What if the imperial guards cannot find the emperor?"

"Then they will naturally search along the way they came." Xiao Fengming was not worried and said with a calm smile.

Since he said this, he naturally had a solution. Nie Wushuang was relieved. The two walked into the small mountain village hand in hand and found an ordinary family. They explained that they were going to the mountains for fun and accidentally got separated from their servants, so they stayed overnight.

The people in the village were simple and hospitable, and they listened clearly to their intentions. Looking at Xiao Fengming's handsome and elegant face, his charming demeanor, and Nie Wushuang's beautiful appearance, he had long regarded them as gods. He quickly served tea and water, very attentively.

Nie Wushuang drank some light tea and looked at the family calmly. It seems that this family is a hunter. The male owner has a dark face and a strong build. The female owner has an ordinary face. Although she is short and fat, she has nimble hands and feet. The couple has a son and a daughter. The girl is ten years old and can help with work. A pair of dark eyes only stared at Nie Wushuang.

Nie Wushuang winked at her with a hint of joking in his heart. The girl burst out laughing, and then hid behind her mother.

Xiao Fengming sat on the kang and chatted with the male host calmly, talking about each other, which made the honest Orion blush and keep rubbing his hands. They all picked up the water and wine on the table and made a toast.

Nie Wushuang sat aside, and the attentive hostess kept asking her to eat. The woman saw that Nie Wushuang behaved delicately but did not have a very good appetite. She said awkwardly: "You are from a mountain family and have a simple diet. Madam, don't make fun of him."

Nie Wushuang was startled, then smiled: "No, it's delicious. It's very rare to eat such rustic food in... in the house." After she said that, she tasted several bites of each dish. , then stopped using chopsticks.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Fengming turned around and smiled at her, secretly holding her hand under the table.

Zhang Orion liked the couple very much when he saw that they were elegant and elegant, and not a bit reserved like rich people. He asked where they lived and why they got lost, and then he said: "Fortunately, fortunately!"

Xiao Fengming was confused when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, what are you thankful for?"

Zhang Orion shook his head and said: "Brother Xiao doesn't know something. The military and bandit riots have been fierce recently. If people like you meet those unreasonable military ruffians, it will be difficult, so I say it's lucky."

Xiao Fengming and Nie Wushuang looked at each other, making a war? This is not a bright and clear world. How can there be any wars and bandits under the emperor's feet?

Xiao Fengming's eyes tightened, and he pretended to be curious and asked: "What's going on with this banditry? I've never heard of it."

Seeing that he didn't know anything, Zhang Orion thought he was a rich man who didn't know the world, so he said, "Brother Xiao, you don't know anything. After the war with Qin was over, many soldiers returned home. Some of them passed by Yingjing and refused to leave." Seeing that there was food and drink here, I stayed and joined some noble men in the capital. Some acted as thugs, and some simply followed those noble men with military ranks but nothing to do to go to the suburban villages to "fight the autumn wind" , Alas, it’s pitiful that the village chiefs don’t dare to offend them, so they can only use money to eliminate the disaster and send these plague gods away.”

"If someone makes them dissatisfied, he will rob people and money. If he sees a beautiful girl..." Zhang Orion stopped suddenly and looked at Nie Wushuang sitting beside him.

Nie Wushuang's expression was calm, but Xiao Fengming's face had already been clouded. With a "click" sound, he put down the wine bowl in his hand and said angrily: "Is there any royal method for this!"

Zhang Orion couldn't help being frightened when he saw that he was angry, his face was serious, and he had an intimidating power about him. Nie Wushuang hurriedly pulled the corner of Xiao Fengming's robe and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't mind, my husband is worried about state affairs every day, and there is always a fight."

Zhang Orion took a long breath: "Brother Xiao, don't be angry. Such evil people will be punished by the government one day. Come on, come on, drink! Drink!"

Xiao Fengming's expression softened slightly and he started chatting with Zhang Orion.

Nie Wushuang had nothing to do, so he got off the kang, chatted with Zhang Orion's wife, and played with the child in her arms. Zhang Orion's wife's surname was Shen. Seeing that she liked children, Zhang Shen handed the child to her and said with a smile, "Does Madam have any children at home?"

Nie Wushuang was startled and shook his head: "No. But..."

She paused: "But my husband-in-law has three sons."

Zhang Shen took a breath of air and couldn't help but look at Nie Wushuang's calm face: "My mother, why don't you give birth to a child at such a young age? You can't let the concubines below take the lead."

Nie Wushuang smiled bitterly when he heard this. Sure enough, this principle applies wherever he goes.

The same is true for ordinary people.

Seeing the gloomy expression on her face and the surprising power in her beautiful eyebrows, Zhang Shen quickly stopped talking and did not dare to say anything more. Pick only light topics. Nie Wushuang knew that she meant no harm, so he pulled out a finely crafted gold hairpin from his head and handed it to her: "This is for Sister-in-law Zhang as a thank you gift for helping me and my husband today."

Zhang Shen saw that the gold hairpin was heavy and the workmanship was exquisite, so she quickly rejected it. Nie Wushuang smiled and put the golden hairpin into her daughter's hand: "When a girl grows up, she must have a decent dowry in the future so that her husband's family will not look down upon her."

When Zhang Shen saw her saying this, Nuonuo agreed.

At night, Mrs. Zhang Shen prepared a guest room. The quilts were all new and not old, but it was obvious that they were good quilts that the family was reluctant to take out.

Xiao Fengming and Nie Wushuang freshened up for a while and then lay on the bed. The candlelight was dim, and Nie Wushuang lay in his arms. Seeing that his face was still gloomy, he knew that he was thinking about the war and bandits that Zhang Orion mentioned just now.

She sighed in her heart and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, we should wait until we return to Beijing to discuss everything."

Xiao Fengming tilted his head and smiled faintly: "Yes. Sleep peacefully." He blew out the candle, and the thin window paper let in the moonlight, unexpectedly illuminating the room very brightly.

Xiao Fengming looked at her moonlit face and couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect that I would encounter such a situation while riding a horse."

Nie Wushuang smiled, closed his eyes, and leaned lazily in his arms: "At last, the emperor is fine, and so are my concubines."

After the crisis, she felt at ease as long as she was by his side.

"Is the Emperor worried?" Nie Wushuang suddenly asked: "Are you worried that the assassin will come after you to commit murder?"

"No." Xiao Fengming said calmly: "The so-called victory is guaranteed with one strike. If the assassin fails to succeed in the wilderness, it is even less possible here."

Nie Wushuang was relieved when he heard this. Sleep peacefully in his arms. Xiao Fengming saw that she was asleep, so he took out half an arrow from his sleeve and squinted his eyes in the moonlight to read.

The arrow body is smooth, and you can still see the traces of careful polishing. He didn't let go of any doubts and slowly started to read. Suddenly, his eyes tightened and he stared at the black dot of the arrow...

This arrow turned out to be...

…

Early the next morning, Xiao Fengming and Nie Wushuang said goodbye to Zhang Orion and headed for the capital. Zhang Orion was enthusiastic and feared that the two of them would get lost again, so he enthusiastically went to lead the way. When Zhang Orion saw that Xiao Fengming's horse was unusual, he couldn't help but envy: "This is a BMW! It's a rare thing."

Xiao Fengming smiled and said modestly: "It's just taller than ordinary horses."

Zhang Orion smiled, stopped talking, and led the two of them to the capital.

Along the way, Zhang Orion walked vigorously, and the three of them arrived at the outskirts of Beijing at noon. Xiao Fengming saw the familiar scenery and turned around to thank Orion Zhang.

Zhang Orion's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly pulled Xiao Fengming: "No! Hurry up and hide, Brother Xiao!"

Nie Wushuang followed his gaze and looked forward, only to see a group of young men in bright clothes and angry horses approaching from a distance.

When Zhang Orion saw Nie Wushuang still looking, he stamped his feet anxiously: "Madam, hide quickly, this is a servant of Lin Shilang's family in Beijing."

"Shilang Lin?" Xiao Fengming was slightly startled and asked, "But Shilang Lin, the Minister of War?"

"Oh, I don't know either. I just know that his young master usually likes flying chickens and lackeys. In recent days, he has gathered a lot of skilled soldiers... Alas, it's too late!" Zhang Orion said regretfully: "He Saw us."
