into the bosom

Chapter 26 - It's time to settle accounts

The cheerful chirping of sparrows could be faintly heard, Xu Jiao frowned, and opened his eyes under the light kiss of the sun.

Suddenly the lazy cancer broke out, and she didn't want to move, so she lay sprawled on the couch, staring at the roof in a daze.

There was a light knock on the door, "Are you awake?" Immediately there was a deep voice, it was Helian Shu.

Xu Jiao jumped up from the couch as soon as she heard it, "Get up!"

"I brought you some things, and I put them outside the door, you can pick them up yourself!" After He Lianshu finished speaking, he squatted down and put down something, then turned and left.

Xu Jiao jumped out of bed, walked over to open the door in two or three steps, and when she lowered her head, she saw a tray on the ground in front of the door, on which was a whole body of folded clothes.

When I brought it back, I saw that it was men's clothes, and some bottles and cans. There was also a dagger wrapped in the clothes.

Xu Jiao stared at these things, after a moment of daze, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

After a while, a young man who looked immature but couldn't hide his sternness appeared in the lobby of the mansion.He Lianshu and Su Le were eating breakfast, when he saw him, He Lianshu raised his sword eyebrows, Su Le turned his head to look, startled, then clicked his tongue twice, "I didn't expect that, Er Xu Brother still has this skill, it’s not bad!”

Xu Jiao cleared his throat, deliberately lowered his voice, and cupped his hands at the two of them, "Su Lang-jun praised you absurdly."

Modesty on the surface, but a little self-satisfied in the heart, who is not a beautiful girl who grew up under the influence of various ancient costumes, film and television dramas, who is not a transvestite who disguises herself as a man?However, Xu Jiao did not complain about those women who disguised themselves as men who treated the audience as blind, so it took a lot of effort.Taking advantage of her age, in terms of appearance, there is no obvious difference between men and women. She just wrapped her chest with cotton cloth to make her shoulders and chest look wider. She drew thick eyebrows and smeared her complexion. She carefully After looking again and again, the biggest loophole is probably the pierced ears, but as long as you don't get close, you can't find it.

He Lianshu moved his chin towards the empty seat opposite, "Sit down!" He didn't comment on her makeup.

Xu Jiao responded, lifted up her robe happily and sat down, her posture was so generous, without any woman's tweaking, Su Le was amazed.As soon as Xu Jiao sat down, he cupped his hands to He Lianshu, "Thank you, Mr. He Lian, for preparing the things for me."

"Yeah." He Lianshu nodded while taking a sip of porridge, and thanked her without humility, "Just be prepared, I hope you don't need it!"

"However. At the city gate that day, Su Le spent a lot of money to help Brother Xu settle the troubles. This time, he helped Brother Xu buy these things. Although it is not worth anything, it is different today. I and Xu It’s better to settle accounts between brothers.”

Xu Jiao, who had listened to what he said earlier, and his actions from last night to this morning, was full of enthusiasm, suddenly heard him change the subject, and said that he was drinking porridge from a porridge bowl, without noticing it for a while, After swallowing a mouthful, his complexion changed. While fanning the wind with his hand, he stuck out his slightly red tongue, shouting repeatedly, "Hot, hot, hot!"

Su Le was also startled by He Lianshu's words, so he stopped coughing.

Duhe Lianshu seemed unaffected at all, while continuing to drink the porridge, he raised his black eyes and glanced at Xu Jiao lightly.

Xu Jiao managed to slow down, pulled the corners of his mouth that were a little numb, and smiled dryly at him, "Mr. Helian was joking."

"I'm not joking." He Lianshu's tone and expression were solemn and serious.

The smile on Xu Jiao's face froze, and then his shoulders collapsed, "Mr. Helian, don't be so cruel. I have saved you twice, and I will repay you for saving my life. Besides, I Where is the money to pay you now?"

"The grace of saving lives is great, but I also took a lot of risks by bringing Brother Xu by my side. Earlier at the city gate, I already paid Brother Xu's life back. I don't know how many times I will save Brother Xu in the future. This is considered repayment. As for other things, in business talk business, brother Xu doesn't have it right now, and I haven't asked you to pay it back right now. Keep an account in mind. When I find Sister Ling, I will ask her to ask for it. Yes. The Prophet will tell Brother Xu, so as not to say that I am not authentic." He Lianshu's rare long-winded speech, but these words are still cool and indifferent, without any waves.

"Of course, if Brother Xu thinks this is asking too much, you don't have to feel wronged. We will part ways and owe you another life. It's not impossible for me to buy it with money."

Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and they parted ways?Clean up?Without him, would she be able to get out of Pingliang City?Besides, she still has to rely on him to find Xu Wei.

Xu Jiao was the most knowledgeable, and quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Helian is serious, and this is nothing serious. Just follow what Mr. Helian wants, and I will rely on you a lot in the future."

He Lianshu glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes, twitched his mouth almost imperceptibly, turned his head and said to Su Le, who was happily watching the play, "Remember all the money you spent on Brother Xu. It's clear, I can settle the score when I see Brother Xu's sister later."

The smile on Xu Jiao's face became brighter by two points, he nodded again and again, but he slandered in his heart, this is not just a pervert, but also a slapstick.

After He Lianshu said that, he continued to drink his porridge calmly.Xu Jiao also picked up the spoon again, joking, she will have to pay for these in the future, and she doesn't eat for free, so she eats with peace of mind.

At this moment, the words "Pingnan Prince's Mansion" suddenly came to his ears, and the porridge bowl in Xu Jiao's hand was slowly put back on the table.

It was the diners behind them who were talking in a low voice, Xu Shi kept his secret, the voice was extremely low, if Xu Jiao and the others were not right next to those people, they might not be able to hear clearly.

".It's pathetic that they've all been dragged to mass graves."

"No way? Could it be that King Pingnan didn't show his face?"

"It's respectable. I heard the imperial court's order, and remembering the contribution of the Pingnan Palace for several generations of guarding the southern border, I rewarded the whole body, so that I can be buried in Nanshan."

Nanshan Xu Jiao's heart trembled suddenly, he raised his eyes and looked opposite.

He Lianshu was also looking at her, "You don't have to take what these people say, even if it's really in Nanshan, I'm afraid there are heavy soldiers ambushing there, just waiting for people to fall into the trap. Brother Xu is a smart man, he won't Do something stupid like that, right?"

Xu Jiao just responded with a far-fetched smile, lowered his head without saying a word, scooped up two spoonfuls of porridge to drink, then put the spoons away and said, "I'm full, take your time." Then he got up and went back. The back wing has gone.

He Lianshu and Su Le looked at her back, glanced at each other, then bowed their heads and went to drink their porridge.

After breakfast, the lobby of the mansion became quiet.He Lianshu went back to his own room. Two quarters of an hour later, Su Le came, his eyes brightened, "Ashu, as you expected, our brother Xu really went out quietly. I sent two Do you want to follow alone?"
