Colorful

Chapter 165: The Occasional Beauty (1)
The tent was filled with the stench of milk, and Ji Cheng didn't fall asleep repeatedly all night, until it was almost dawn, and he fell asleep soundly.

When the voices outside were noisy, Ji Cheng frowned and opened his eyes, trying to rub the center of his brows, but found that when he raised his hand, it was a bit uncomfortable.

Ji Cheng turned his head and saw that Shen Che was sleeping next to her, her sleeves and his sleeves seemed to be connected together by something.

Ji Chengzai looked carefully, and saw that the sleeves were densely covered with threads, at least dozens of strands of five colors.With so many colorful threads, why didn't they kill Shen Che?
Ji Cheng kicked Shen Che, who was still sleeping, he stole someone last night, and now he is naturally sleeping deeply.

Shen Che opened his eyes and began to laugh, and looked at Ji Cheng sideways with his hands on his head: "Why do you feel more beautiful than the day before when I look at you every day?"

It was disgusting in the early morning, and Ji Cheng also started to smile and said: "Why, is the newcomer coming in today? I'll wait for her to kneel and hold tea."

Shen Che leaned against Ji Cheng's lips and smiled, "I don't dare to accept a Turkic concubine, and I'm even more afraid of the roar of the Lion in the River East."

Ji Cheng stretched out his hand to push Shen Che away and said, "Even if you take ten or eight, you won't have the Lion's Roar of the River East." Ji Cheng raised his hand, "What's going on? You have nothing to do, and you want to change your career in the future Be an embroiderer?"

As Ji Cheng said, he was about to pull the five-color strands, but Shen Che hurriedly stopped them with one hand: "Don't tear them apart, it will be bad luck."

Ji Cheng said angrily, "How many sticks did you get? Isn't one enough?"

"99 strands." As Shen Che spoke, he took off his middle coat, and then peeled off Ji Cheng's clothes, "Don't break it, just take off the clothes. There is no custom of gifting five-color strands in northern Shanxi. Is this the first gift of five-color wisps after coming to the capital?"

Ji Cheng originally planned not to cooperate with Shen Che, but they are already husband and wife. If the line of love and affection is broken, it is indeed a bit unlucky, so he covered his chest with his hands, but cooperated with Shen Che by taking off his sleeves, and replied after hearing his words: "I But I have never given five-color wisps."

Shen Che let out a "huh" and said, "Where did your five-color strands go during the time at Tianxiang Pavilion?"

Ji Cheng looked at Shen Che in puzzlement, this person would not be aimless: "I stuck it in my hair, and then I don't know where it ends."

Shen Che said: "Whether you believe in fate or not, the five-color strands on your head fell on my clothes that time."

Ji Cheng laughed and said, "You're coaxing me, who knows which girl the five-color thread on your body is from? Besides, there are so many five-color thread, can you recognize which one is mine?"

Shen Che looked at Ji Cheng steadfastly, and said seriously: "Since I was a child, that is the first five-color thread hanging on my body."

Ji Cheng didn't believe it, but Shen Che's expression was so serious that she couldn't even sneer, so she coughed lightly: "When did you come back last night? That girl, huh, grassland girls are quite bold and unrestrained." of."

Shen Che cooperated with Ji Cheng, and did not continue the colorful topic: "Prairie women are different from Central Plains women. They have no sense of chastity. They take pleasure in sleeping with heroes."

"Ha, you two met for the first time last night, how does she know that you are a hero?" Ji Cheng stabbed.

"Zayina is not simple. She is the saint of Zoroastrianism. Zheli was able to gather such a large force in Western Turkic in just a few years, and Zaina contributed a lot." Shen Che said.

Zoroastrianism Ji Cheng knows a little bit. They worship light, and light is symbolized by fire, so some people call it Zoroastrianism. It was introduced from Persia. After it was passed to Western Turks, the teachings have a certain degree of compromise.

At least Zaina, as a saint, behaved a little boldly, which is evidence of compromise.

"Impossible?" Ji Cheng counted the time since Zheli's sudden rise to prominence, and it has been seven or eight years.And Zayina looks like he is only 20 years old at most. Could it be that he has been with Zheli since he was twelve or thirteen years old?

Shen Che said: "How old do you think Zayina is?"

Since Shen Che asked this, of course he was older, so Ji Cheng thought of a more reliable age: "22?"

"forty."

If there was water in Ji Cheng's mouth, he would definitely spit it out: "This is impossible!"

Zaina is too pretentious. As a woman, Ji Cheng's first reaction is naturally to wonder what her prescription is.

"Is she a monster?" The 40-year-old lady still looked like a little girl.

Shen Che touched his nose and looked at Ji Cheng: "Of course not, she has practiced kung fu and can harvest yang and nourish yin."

Ji Cheng asked with sparkling eyes: "What kind of kung fu? Can I practice it?"

Shen Che looked into Ji Cheng's eyes and smiled, "Yes, I will teach you later."

Ji Cheng felt that she would never be able to argue against Shen Che when they bickered over this kind of matter.

"According to what you said just now, she fell in love with you last night because she actually wanted to pick you as a flower?" Ji Cheng said and shook his head, "No, since she has been deeply entangled with Zheli, she should know about you Is your identity correct?"

Shen Che said: "No. Zheli knew Lord Jing, but he didn't know that Lord Jing was me."

"What about your uncle, don't you know?" Ji Cheng asked.

"Master Jing's identity is strictly kept secret. When Master accepted me as an apprentice, he already covered up my identity." Shen Che said.

Strictly confidential?Ji Cheng thought, wouldn't she be very honored?After the honor, he couldn't bear the fear. Did Shen Che plan to kill her countless times to silence her?

"Then you mean, Zayina really fell in love with you last night?" Ji Cheng raised his voice, "But I think I'm not bad, gentle and handsome, is she blind?"

Shen Che said: "Maybe I can also fall in love with you, but it's a pity you stood beside me last night." Then he was compared.

Ji Cheng clenched his delicate little fists. This man was so arrogant that he was really disgusting: "So what if you like you? It's not for picking you, do you think you really like you?"

Shen Che took Ji Cheng's raised small fist smoothly, rubbing his thumb back and forth on the surface of Ji Cheng's fist.Ji Cheng wanted to pull back his hand, but he couldn't help Shen Che's strength, so he had no choice but to say discouragedly: "Why did Zayina appear in Zhaga Town? Did he come for you? Do you doubt your identity?"

After the bickering was over, it was time to talk about serious matters, Ji Cheng was very curious.The scene by the river yesterday was too coincidental. If it was a normal season, Ji Cheng might believe that a bold Turkic girl fell in love with Shen Che. The faction of Da Qin started a life-and-death battle with Da Qin, and Zayina's sudden appearance at such a time made Ji Cheng suspect that her motives were impure.

Of course, Shen Che's behavior undoubtedly proved this point. No matter how bad he was, he probably wouldn't be able to go out and fool around with other girls in front of his new wife.

"It is indeed for me, but because I am the younger brother of Marshal Zhengbei University." Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng straightened his chest, and finally let out a sigh of relief, so she just said, why did she fall in love with Shen Che blindly.

"This Zhayi is so capable, we have only been in the grassland for a few days, and she has already found out your identity and where we are going." Ji Cheng said.

Shen Che nodded: "Zoroastrianism is very powerful in Western Turks. Almost half of the Turks believe in them. As a saint, Zaina has supreme power."

"Aren't there only saintesses without leaders?" Ji Cheng asked.

Shen Che glanced at Ji Cheng appreciatively: "Yes, but it was announced to the outside world that it was a retreat, and the saintess was in charge of the educational affairs, but in fact it was Zaina and Zheli who jointly killed this leader, but the news of his death was not announced to the public. That's all."

Ji Cheng nodded: "By the way, Nazayina knows that you are the heir of Duke Qi, why did she seduce you?"

Shen Che said: "Of course I want to change my mistress, but I have to try my strength first." Shen Che's eyes swept towards his crotch.

Ji Cheng laughed out loud, "Then she must have been very satisfied last night, right?"

"Oh, so you are very satisfied." Shen Che lowered his head and kissed Ji Cheng's fist lightly.

Ji Cheng blushed again, and said firmly, "My request is not that low."

Shen Che stuck to Ji Cheng's ear and said, "Where is that not what you want? Length? Time? Or is it not diligent enough?"

Ji Cheng pushed hard with both hands, and Shen Che fell under the bed unprepared. Although the posture of falling was not ugly, it couldn't be called chic anyway.

Ji Cheng laughed out loud, finally heaving a sigh of relief.She didn't care whether Shen Che let her do it on purpose or what, as long as she relieved her anger.

Before Shen Che stood up and sat down again, he was assigned by Ji Cheng to fetch a new coat for him.

Without Ji Cheng's hands, Shen Che straightened the collar of his jacket very consciously, and waited for Ji Cheng to put it on, only to hear Ji Cheng ask: "I'm serious, why did Zayna find you?"

Shen Che said: "I'm also serious. Zayina couldn't get in with the eldest brother, so he turned to the second and came to me."

Ji Cheng thought to himself, this second best is really lucky, if Zaina digs a little deeper, he will catch a big fish.

"Nonsense, doesn't she have Zheli? Can Zheli rest assured that she is messing with you?"

Shen Che said: "Of course I'm worried, but now Zheli has more than enough energy, so she can't satisfy her."

Ji Cheng didn't understand.

Shen Che briefly told Ji Cheng what happened in the Western Regions back then.What was extremely difficult to say at that time seems to be effortless to say now.

On the contrary, Ji Cheng was still a little embarrassed, after all, she set up the game, although Shen Che was just playing tricks, but there must be some knots in his mind.It would be fine if they forget each other in the end of the world from now on, but now it's a trick of good fortune, and the two enemies have become husband and wife.Ji Cheng felt a little pain in the back of his foot.

This time, it was Ji Cheng's turn to touch his nose: "So, Zheli can't do that anymore, and Zayi will have other things?"

Shen Che said: "Zayina and Zheli are originally a combination of interests. With Zaina's influence in Turkic, Zheli can be supported in just a few years."

Ji Cheng quickly grasped the key point: "What benefits did Zhayina get from Zheli?"

Shen Che groaned and said nothing, only looked at Ji Cheng with playful eyes.

Ji Cheng said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's hard to find four-legged toads, but there are quite a few two-legged men."

Shen Che said innocently: "I'm not talking nonsense. It's just that Zheli has his own advantages, and that's why Zayna has a good face. Ten years ago, Zayna was not as young as he is now."

Now Ji Cheng was really curious: "Is it also related to the exercises that Zheli practiced?"

Shen Che straightened up, sneered and began to change his clothes: "Save your energy, even if Zheli can stand up now, he won't be able to stand up anymore."

Ji Cheng thought to himself, Shen Che is really non-toxic and not a husband. He didn't kill Zheli back then, did he just want to divide him and Zayina today?He doesn't hesitate to make others unable to stand upright, his heart is extremely sinister.

Ji Cheng followed Shen Che to get up, wrapped around him and refused to leave, Shen Che handed the belt to Ji Cheng, and Ji Cheng helped him to fasten it, just like a real wife serving her husband to change clothes.

Who told her to be curious.

"You haven't said what Zaina wants from you." Ji Cheng asked.

"Three years ago, Zheli was seriously injured. I thought he couldn't stand up, but I don't know what method my uncle used for him, but he was able to walk again. Zayina may have a little real love for Zheli. In it, it may also be brainwashed by my uncle, thinking that Zheli can recover, so she wants to start with me and inquire about some internal information about the Zhengbei Army."

Ji Cheng said with a smile: "You have been living absurdly. Since Zayina found out about your identity, she should know what inside story you can find out? Isn't she working hard on you, isn't she killing chickens with a sledgehammer?"

Shen Che had nothing to say when he heard Ji Cheng belittle himself so much. "Don't you know that the situation is different now? If you are married, you will be an adult. Anyway, you have to make some progress. Besides, my eldest brother is the marshal of Zhengbei University. I went to the Northwest Army for a walk, earning some military merits and going back. Just around the corner."

Ji Cheng thought about it, it really is.As for Shen Che's entry into the West Turkic Grassland in this capacity, it couldn't be more grandiose, and no one would doubt it.

Even if he came to the prairie to do military service, he would bring a pretty maid with him, and he was accompanied by a suspected "little boy" who dragged countless luggage, which fit Shen Che's image very well.

"The reason Zayina came to you should not be that simple." Ji Cheng said, even if Shen Che was right, it would be too much for Zayina to surrender his identity to find Shen Che.

"Zayina has great ambitions. She wants to spread the teachings of Zoroastrianism to the hinterland of the Central Plains. Zheli can't help her in this regard, so she is also looking for new partners. If I can prove it, I will be better than Zheli Li is more useful to her, and she can abandon Zheli to help me." Shen Che said.

"So, you want to help her spread the teachings of Zoroastrianism?" Ji Cheng asked in surprise.

Shen Che said: "I don't have such a plan. But even if Zayina thinks about it, her plan is doomed to fail. People in the Central Plains are stubborn. There are three schools of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism to save the world. It is difficult to accept another god."

Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows, and understood Shen Che's plan. This person wanted to be a white wolf with empty hands, but it was inevitable that he would argue with Zainara during the process.

"No wonder you let me dress up as a man so generously. Did you have an idea? You explained all this to me patiently. I thought the sun was coming out from the west, but it turned out that my husband-in-law was persuading me to treat him I'm flirting with another woman." Ji Cheng said in a tone-deaf manner.

Shen Che said: "I knew you would think too much, so didn't this bring you too. You supervise yourself, and I will leave my innocence to you. Don't ask me to be picked by a aunt."

Ji Cheng hummed heavily: "I can't control the legs growing on your body."

Shen Che replied lightly: "My legs are pinned to your belt, it just depends on whether you want to take care of it or not."

Of course Ji Cheng doesn't care, she is a very generous woman.The man's legs grew on his body, and the third leg wanted to walk around, but he couldn't stop it.Anyway, it's not that Shen Che has no money to raise a few more concubines, and Ji Cheng has nothing to lose.

So, when Shen Che went out, Ji Cheng also took Nan Gui and Lian Zi'er out for a walk.

Zhaga Town is not big, in Daqin, it would be the size of a village at most.There is only one street in the whole town, with a few sparse shops, most of which are foot shops for eating.

It’s so simple, Ji Cheng naturally can’t go shopping in the town, but she doesn’t understand Turkic, so she can’t walk around. Fortunately, she met a Turkic child Wumu who came out to earn a living at the age of 11 on the street. He can speak Chinese well. .It wasn't until the conversation progressed that Ji Cheng found out that Wu Mu was of Turkic-Han mixed race. His mother had been taken captive to the grasslands by his father and had been dead for several years. His father didn't care much about him, so he went out to look for food by himself.

Wumu got a lot of money from Ji Cheng, of course it was for him, so he enthusiastically took Ji Cheng to the dam twenty miles away to watch the people from the Yugu Department play the dam.

"Brother Ji, you are good at riding. Let's go and see before it's too late. Maybe you can participate in our Yugu horse race. The hero who wins can sing and drink with our patriarch's daughter. Her tent." Wumu couldn't stop talking about the patriarch's daughter, "That's the pearl of our grassland, I've never seen a girl more beautiful than her, just like the moon in the sky."

The playbazi on the grassland is as lively as the market in Daqin. After hearing the news, the herdsmen from all around came here with their families, pitched their tents on the boundless dam, called for friends, and sang and danced.

The unmarried girls of the Yugu tribe set up a small white tent not far from their own tent.After sunset, the lads began to drill in thoughtfully, and if they were not driven out by the girl, they would hang their riding whips at the door.It probably means that the horse has been ridden by someone.

Ji Cheng marveled at the unrestrainedness of the Turkic people, but couldn't help being envious.

There are quite a few Han people in the bazi of the Yugu tribe, all of whom were abducted from the Great Qin Dynasty over the years. Some of them fled back, and some of them took root on the grassland.

Therefore, although Han people like Ji Cheng came to the bazi abruptly, they were not particularly prominent.
