Chapter 158

A paper lantern hung on the high courtyard door, and the candlelight illuminated the area in front of the door.

An exclamation broke the silence of the night.

"Zi Long!"

As soon as Gongsun Yan opened the courtyard door, he was startled by the person standing outside the door. When he saw it clearly through the light of the lantern hanging on the door, Gongsun Yan's heart suddenly lurked.

It's Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun covered in blood.

After all, he was somewhat concerned about the whereabouts of the horned millet. He wondered if Guzhu had any plans. Zhao Yun, who came back overnight, was also surprised.

He had just talked with the guard on duty at the gate and learned that Gongsun Yan had come to Lulong. He was worried and asked her to come in person because he didn't know what was urgent.

Just as he was lingering at the door, hesitating whether to call someone to report, Gongsun Yan himself suddenly opened the door and appeared in front of him.

After meeting, but before they spoke, Zhao Yun remembered that he was dirty and was afraid that the blood would hit her, so he subconsciously took a step back.

When he saw her face turned pale, Zhao Yun regretted that he shouldn't have come at this time.

"scared you?"

"You are hurt?"

The two spoke at the same time.

"Not hurt."

"Not scared."

The two replied at the same time.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

Gongsun Yan felt that his heart, which was beating so hard just now, slowly calmed down.

"Come in." She opened the door, and Zhao Yun hesitated before following.

Entering the main room, Zhao Yun immediately saw the food placed on the table and stopped in his tracks.

The footsteps behind him suddenly stopped. Gongsun Yan turned around and found Zhao Yun looking at the desk, "I'm ready and waiting for you, but it's a pity that it's cold now."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yun's voice was a little hoarse. He walked to the desk and was about to grab the chopsticks.

How could Gongsun Yan ask him to eat such a cold meal? When he was marching and fighting, he was often full and hungry, hot and cold, and his stomach and intestines were prone to problems.

The two of them each held one end of the chopsticks and were in a stalemate for a while. Zhao Yun still gave in first and let go. He obediently listened to Gongsun Yan and went to the backyard to get water to bathe his hair.

When he left, he looked back at the desk.

The sound of "gurgling" water echoed under the big trees in the backyard.

Zhao Yun sat on a small horse and Gongsun Yan stood behind him, holding a kettle and pouring water for him to wash his hair.

The Lulong County government office is not as convenient as Guzhu. Normally, you have to light a fire and boil water, but with Gongsun Yan here, you don't have to be so troublesome.

I bought toiletries, towels and warm water directly from the system.

"Really not hurt?"

Gongsun Yan looked at the brown blood, sweat stains and dust on his hair. After rubbing the shampoo, it turned into dark red foam and was then washed away by the water.

Under the dim light, the color of the sewage was frightening, so she asked again worriedly.

Zhao Yun had already taken off his armor, and the heavy armor covered with blood was piled in a corner, but his uniform was still soaked with blood.

"I'm really not injured." Zhao Yun lowered his head meekly, his voice a little muffled.

"You must not be brave and hide your injuries." Gongsun Yan bought warm water again, poured it into the pot, and instructed: "Behind the ears."

Zhao Yun followed her instructions and rubbed his ears with foam.

"it is good."

He responded and said with some hesitation, "I'll do it myself."

The sewage splashed on the bluestone in the backyard, and some of it splashed on the corner of Gongsun Yan's skirt, creating a dark color.

He subconsciously stayed away, not wanting any of this dirt to get on her. "Don't move." Gongsun Yan gently pressed a finger on his shoulder. He was covered in blood, and he actually felt a little disgusted.

The green-white fingertips lightly touched the shoulder, but Zhao Yun, the general who was galloping on the battlefield and tearing apart the enemy's formation alone, could no longer move.

"Lower your head." Gongsun Yan called, and he lowered his head again, exposing the back of his neck to her without warning.

After rinsing three times, the water was completely clear, and Gongsun Yan put a towel on his head.

Hearing him sigh secretly, he wiped his hair with a towel and turned his face away, not daring to look at Gongsun Yan.

He has sharp ears and eyes, and he can hear the chuckles of the people behind him without turning his head.

"Miss."

"Stay there, I'll prepare bath water for you." Gongsun Yan bit his lip and smiled, stuffing a bag of warm rice balls into his hand.

"What?" Zhao Yun looked up in shock, taking a shower?

He stood up quickly and said, "No need, I can just go back..."

"Can you wash by the well?" Gongsun Yan took over his words, "The well water is cold, so no."

"But me." Zhao Yun wanted to struggle again, "This is your residence, how can I be here..."

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Yun felt his ears burning, and he no longer looked as calm and composed as before.

But he was pushed back to the stool with one finger by Gongsunyan with a look of disgust: "Objection is invalid, have something to eat and wait."

This courtyard was extremely well prepared. There was a small mezzanine next to Gongsun Yan's bed, which contained a brand new bathtub and tiger cubs.

In the backyard, Zhao Yun had a towel on his head and was eating rice balls with red ears. He was told not to sneak away.

As soon as Gongsun Yan entered the dormitory, he lost the strong look he had just now and held his own hot face.

Even though his uniform was stained with blood, he was so docile.

Why is it so cute?
Gongsun Yan felt that something was really wrong with him.

She covered her heart and waited for a while, then held up the lamp, walked into the mezzanine, and lit a candle.

The bathtub was brand new, oily and smooth, with no wooden thorns. With the help of the trading device, she placed a bucket of hot spring water without any effort.

The water temperature is slightly hot, which is most suitable for relieving fatigue.

After preparing water, toiletries and a change of clothes, Gongsun Yan gently opened the bedroom window.

The man was still sitting under the tree with a towel on his head and had eaten all the rice balls in his hand.

"Come quickly." Gongsun Yan stood by the window and called softly.

"Ah, ah!" Zhao Yun stood up hesitantly, but when he still wanted to struggle one last time, Gongsun Yan had already climbed up the window.

He walked slowly to the door, hesitantly, and stopped suddenly.

Sure enough, it's still not possible.

The lady is in the period of filial piety, if...

He turned around to leave, but was grabbed by a hand from behind.

Zhao Yun turned around. Under the dim light, the girl lowered her eyes and her cheeks were slightly red.

A finger was loosely hooked on his belt, making his steps weigh a thousand pounds, making him unable to take another step.

Zhao Yun never understood why the men in those strange stories fell into the hands of mountain fairies so easily.

But now he knew.

No words or eyes were needed. The fair-skinned girl only had to stand there, lightly hook her fingers, and he could not help but follow the insignificant force and step into the room.

Although there was no incense burning in the room, he could only feel the sweet fragrance filling his nose, suppressing even the stench of blood on his body.

It wasn't until he was pushed into the mezzanine room and the door creaked shut behind him that he woke up from the inexplicable atmosphere.

He leaned against the door panel, covered his eyes with his hands, and let out a low sigh of annoyance.
