Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

The three looked down subconsciously.

I saw a picture drawn on the book, with a few words beside it.

this moment.

The air in the room seemed to be stagnant.

Quietly suffocating.

Qiu'er snuggled into Ren Pingsheng's arms, staring blankly at the few books that fell on the floor, her pretty face flushed red.

Because of shame, there was a layer of mist in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.

His mouth was slightly opened, but no sound came out.

not far away.

Mu Rou's performance was not much different from hers.

At this moment.

Both of their minds were blank, and they didn't know what to say or do at all.

Time passed by minute by minute.

soon.

Ren Pingsheng broke the silence and asked, "Miss Qiu'er, is everything okay?"

Qiu'er knew that Shizi must have seen the contents of the book.

His body froze slightly, trying not to shed tears, shook his head, choked up and said, "No, it's okay..."

Ren Pingsheng said casually: "The ground is slippery, be careful when walking."

Then, holding her body steady, she walked up to Mu Rou as if nothing had happened, and said softly, "Is Miss Mu free? I have something I want to talk to Miss Mu about."

aside.

Seeing this scene, Qiu'er was slightly taken aback: "Could it be that Shizi didn't read the content of the book clearly, otherwise how could he be so indifferent?"

Think so.

Her almost hopeless mood finally recovered some.

He squatted down hastily, picked up a few books scattered on the floor, put them in his arms, and left the room quickly.

the other side.

Seeing Qiu'er leave, Mu Rou breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Young Master Ren, it's okay to say."

Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou, whose expression had returned to normal, hesitated for a moment, and decided to speak out his thoughts: "To be honest, I thought about what Miss Mu said to me last night.

As for feelings, since it is out of control, it's fine to let nature take its course. Miss Mu doesn't need to have psychological pressure. "

Is this a rejection... or an acceptance?
Mu Rou didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she was slightly taken aback.

After thinking for a few seconds, he realized.

Mr. Ren meant neither to reject nor to accept, and to wait for a while to see how the situation develops.

Although it feels a bit weird.

Mu Rou still nodded lightly, and said "hmm".

follow closely.

Ren Pingsheng asked again: "Ms. Mu was drinking for the first time last night?"

When Mu Rou heard this, she recalled many scenes from last night again, her pretty face blushed, and she nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Does your head still hurt?"

Ren Pingsheng showed concern and asked in a gentle tone.

After the first hangover, after waking up, it is human nature to have a splitting headache.

The little celestial master was so drunk last night, and he drank a lot of wine, so it stands to reason that he should have a headache.

Hearing this concerned tone, Mu Rou subconsciously raised her eyes to glance at Ren Pingsheng, seeing a soft light in his eyes, her heart trembled slightly, she quickly lowered her head, and whispered: "It's okay .”

at this time.

Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hands, and gently stroked the ends of her temple hair behind her ears.

Immediately afterwards, he gently pressed her temple with his thumb, and asked softly: "It will feel better this way."

Feel the warm touch.

There seemed to be an electric current rushing through Mu Rou's heart, which was so numb and numb that it could not be described in words.

"Miss Mu is sitting here, and I will give Miss Mu a massage."

The voice rang in the ear, with a little warmth.

Mu Rou originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, she still chose to be obedient and sat obediently on the chair.

Ren Pingsheng pressed gently on her temples, feeling uncomfortable.

After a while.

Mu Rou gradually got used to it, her brows relaxed, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After a stick of incense.

She held Ren Pingsheng's wrist, blushed, turned to look at him, and said softly: "Okay, okay..."

Ren Pingsheng withdrew his hand and said softly: "The case in Chanzhou City is estimated to take some days to be solved. If Miss Mu feels bored, she can go for a walk in the city. If she feels too tired, she can take a good rest in the house. Don't think about it." The most important thing is to be happy when you come out to play..."

Mu Rou's heart warmed, and she nodded slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Ren."

Ren Pingsheng nodded and said no more, just said: "In that case, I won't disturb Miss Mu's rest."

After speaking, he turned and left the house.

Sitting on the chair, Mu Rou watched Ren Pingsheng's back disappear with a dazed look in her eyes, feeling inexplicably empty in her heart.

But when he thought of everything he had done for himself just now, a warm current surged in his heart.

Thinking: Although Mr. Ren didn't say it clearly, he probably still misses me. It's just that His Royal Highness Chang An is here, so it's not good to go further...

Fortunately, there is no such book or music in this world, and the exchange of information is not well developed.

Otherwise, a simple little celestial master will know that this kind of behavior has a very appropriate name, which is called fish farming.

A person like Ren Pingsheng also has a very suitable title, called a scumbag.

…………

Ren Pingsheng walked out of the room, thinking of the books Qiu'er was holding before, his expression became a little strange.

Based on his understanding of Mu Rou and Qiu'er.

There is a high probability that they did not buy those books on their own initiative.

As for why it appeared there, maybe it was a misunderstanding?
Honestly.

For a moment just now, he had the urge to ask for clarification, but he restrained it in the end.

"It's just a few books. I'll ask again when I have a chance in the future."

Think so.

Ren Pingsheng turned and left.

Didn't take a few steps.

Li Yong walked over to meet him: "My lord, the whereabouts of that person are clear!"

Ren Pingsheng turned to look at him and asked, "Who?"

Li Yong said: "The scholar who escaped from the back door of the yamen, he went straight to Chanzhou port after leaving the yamen. If there is no accident, there should be someone in Chanzhou port to meet him."

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly. After thinking for a few seconds, he said seriously: "Let people keep an eye on him. If he has the tendency to escape, stop him immediately!"

"Yes, prince!"

Li Yong saluted respectfully and left quickly.

Ren Pingsheng stood where he was, looking at his back with a dim light in his eyes.

Ever since he went around Chanzhou Port, he realized that the Chanzhou Yamen must have colluded with those barbarian merchants.

now.

The movement of the scholar proved this point.

Next, what he needs to do is to find out what is the relationship between Chanzhou Tongzhi and those Hu people, and why they want to kill Chanzhou Tongzhi.

of course.

Chanzhou Tongzhi is a sixth-grade Confucian scholar with extremely strong psychological quality. It is difficult to get something useful from him just by coercion, temptation and torture.

Really want to get substantial leads.

Still have to focus on those barbarians.

Not surprisingly, the scholar was just a contact person between Hu Ren and the Chanzhou Yamen, so he would not know too much news.

It is still necessary to lure the snake out of the hole, and after the key figures behind the scenes are drawn out, they will be wiped out in one go.

Before that, I only need to do one thing, and that is to wait quietly, closely monitor, and grasp the timing of the initiative.

Thinking of this.

Ren Pingsheng returned to his room, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

…………

Chanzhou port.

Zhou Xin came to a certain merchant ship, looked around, and after making sure that she was not being followed, she came to the bed cabin and called softly: "My lord..."

After a while.

Out of the shadows came out a middle-aged man dressed in wild animal fur, who looked powerful, with blond hair and blue eyes, he could tell he was a barbarian.

"What about the goods I want?"

Zhou Xin said: "The Chanzhou Tongzhi was controlled by the imperial envoys from the capital, our batch of goods is not in any danger at present, but after a long time, it will be uncertain.

Beizhi thinks that it is more important to keep this route than the cargo, and we should leave in time before the fire from the capital reaches the port.

Wait for the Tongzhi of Chanzhou to get out of the quagmire, and then get back this batch of goods. If the Tongzhi of Chanzhou can't survive this, let's find a way, it's nothing more than money, money, and women. You know, there is always one who can be won over by us. "

Hearing this, the middle-aged barbarian showed dissatisfaction on his face, looked at Zhou Xin, and asked coldly, "What if the new prefect and fellow prefects are still the same as the previous ones?"

"This……"

Zhou Xin showed hesitation, for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

The middle-aged Hu Ren said: "Before I came here, I promised the priest that I would go back with sufficient weapons and armor. If I can't get the goods, I can only apologize with death... So, no matter what happens, what price should I pay?" , I want to take the goods back!"

"..."

Zhou Xin became even more silent when she heard this.

After a while, he said: "Then I have to ask my lord to send someone to the Chanzhou Yamen to bring back the Chanzhou Tongzhi. Now only he knows where the goods are placed."

The middle-aged barbarian looked at Zhou Xin, and said calmly, "I leave this matter to you."

"I?"

Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Humble job is just a small seventh-rank monk, how can you bring out a sixth-rank Confucian scholar under heavy security, sir, you should spare the humble job."

Seeing his resignation, the middle-aged barbarian showed dissatisfaction.

But he also knew in his heart that he really couldn't do this.

Precisely.

If you want to know where the goods are, the entire Chanzhou Port, only you can do it.

After a long silence.

He finally made a decision, looked at Zhou Xin, and ordered: "You and your people are ready at the port, know the location of the goods, go get them back immediately, and send them to the ship."

"Follow your orders!"

Seeing that he let her go, Zhou Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted respectfully.

Time passed by minute by minute.

In a blink of an eye.

It is night.

Although winter is over.

But at night, Chanzhou City is still very cold.

The soldiers patrolling the streets were wearing thick clothes, standing in place, chatting in groups of threes and twos, and were reluctant to walk a few more steps.

The whole city seemed silent.

At this moment.

In the alley outside the yamen.

The burly, middle-aged barbarian in fur was leaning against the wall, observing everything around him with his spiritual sense.

The soldiers who are sure to guard will only stand behind where they are.

He bit his finger, drew a string of runes on the ground with blood, and then said something in a mosquito-like voice.

Accompanied by his low singing.

The runes drawn with blood actually exuded a faint light.

Subsequently.

A wisp of blue smoke branched out from the back of his head and went straight to the yamen.

Yamen, somewhere in a room.

Tongzhi of Chanzhou sat on a chair, holding an ancient book of saints in his hand, and looked at it from top to bottom.

watched for a while.

He seemed to feel something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked out the window.

There, a wisp of blue smoke floated in along the gap.

In his surprised eyes.

The wisp of green smoke turned into a human form, a phantom, standing there.

at the same time.

A human voice appeared in his head.

"Where do I put the goods I want?"

Although he spoke the official dialect of Dazhou, it sounded a bit awkward.

Almost instantly.

Chanzhou Tongzhi realized his identity, and said coldly: "I don't know if I can live until tomorrow, but now you ask me for your goods?"

The voice fell.

The voice responded immediately: "Whether you can live until tomorrow has nothing to do with me, I just want the goods."

When Chanzhou Tongzhi heard this, he was a little annoyed, and sneered, "To tell you the truth, you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to me, none of you will leave Dazhou."

As soon as this word comes out.

The atmosphere was stagnant.

Just for a moment.

The voice threatened: "If you don't tell where the goods are, you won't survive today."

Chanzhou Tongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes became dark.

He was clear.

This guy in front of him does have the ability to kill himself silently.

After all, the two newly appointed prefects died in his hands.

But he didn't believe that the other party dared to kill him.

After all, after his death, no one will know about the goods that the other party wanted.

Chanzhou Tongzhi looked confident, raised his head slightly, and said calmly: "In that case, you will kill me."

"..."

Seeing him like this, Xu Ying fell silent.

After a while, he said: "I will take you away, where you handed over the goods."

Tongzhi of Chanzhou sneered: "My official, Han Chuang, studied hard for more than ten years before I got where I am today. You made me give up everything just because of your understatement?
This official tells you that I will not go anywhere, but stay here.

During these days, you should restrain your people and don't cause trouble for this official. As long as the imperial envoy can't find any evidence, even if he has the heart and guts, he won't dare to kill people lightly! "

This was a decision he made before it was dark.

in his eyes.

The imperial envoy threatened himself like a rogue before, which just showed that he did not have any substantive evidence to prove that the deaths of the previous three prefects had something to do with him.

What he said was just to expose the evidence in his panic.

but.

As long as you remain calm and not threatened by the other party.

We will be able to survive this crisis safely.

Thinking of this.

He looked at the phantom, and continued: "I would like to remind you that the imperial envoy is not an idler, so don't act rashly. After the limelight, I will give you a lot of the goods you want. superior.

But if you act rashly, you will leave a handle on the imperial envoy, implicate this official, your goods, and future business will all be ruined, do you understand! "

Speaking of which.

He suddenly thought of something, looked at the phantom, and asked a little nervously: "Will you be discovered when you come here?" (End of this chapter)
