The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 93 Do You Need Cotton Towels
A coarse cloth gown, a pair of leggings, a pair of lace-up cloth shoes, and a coarse cloth towel around the head.

Although the man had changed his clothes and still had some beard stuck on, I could still recognize him at a glance just by looking at those smiling eyes.

Emperor Yudi, Xuanyuan Chen!
There are a lot of things to do when I go to the frontier. I came out overnight because I was afraid that too many people would know about this person and cause trouble.

Before leaving, I deliberately lured away the secret guards he had placed in the princess's mansion. Normally, he should not have known the news of my going to the border until tomorrow morning, but he actually followed me all the way.

It seems that there should be his eyes in the princess mansion...

He raised his head and took another sip of water, then said slowly, "You little girl, why are you running so fast, I chased after you all the way, and finally caught up with you."

I slightly lowered my eyebrows and said, "What are you doing here?"

He said naturally, "Of course I have to follow you. There is a bet between us. Before the winner or loser is decided, I have to stay by your side. Wherever you go, I have to follow."

I was a little amused, "But I didn't keep that bet."

He didn't take it seriously, and said, "Anyway, the token is already in my hands, so the bet is considered done, and you can't go back on it."

Wow, this person is really... what can I say about him!
For a while, I couldn't think of a word to describe it, so I simply said, "I have something to do when I go to the frontier this trip, let's talk about the bet later, you go back first."

He nodded and said, "Then do your business, don't delay, you are still a little girl, in the wild mountains, what should you do if a big wild wolf or black bear pops out suddenly, I have to follow you all the time, so I can take care of you."

I was a little angry, but still said patiently, "I don't need you to take care of me, I can take care of myself."

I have already arranged the itinerary by flying pigeons, and it will be troublesome if there are too many people.

Xuanyuan Chen seemed to think about it carefully, then nodded and said, "I think what you said makes sense."

I nodded secretly, took the water bag back, and screwed the lid on.This guy is okay, not too difficult.

Unexpectedly, he continued, "That's how it is. You take care of yourself and I take care of you. Well, that's the decision."

After finishing speaking, he got up and threw off the ashes on his body, pulled the horse up and was about to jump up, turned around and saw that I hadn't moved, and asked with some doubts, "little girl, why don't you leave, aren't you in a hurry to come out overnight?"

I think his head is a bit big, but looking at it like this, he is determined to follow.

Forget it, this section of the road is an official road, and there are no forests within a hundred miles. If he wants to follow, follow him first. Wait until the front and find a way to get rid of him.

If I want to bring it here, I don't want to say too much. The horse has already eaten the grass, so I take off the horse's reins, turn over, slap the horse's buttocks, and get up.

It takes seven days to travel from Xiqi Shengjing to the frontier. The physical strength and speed of sweaty horses are stronger than ordinary horses, and it takes five days to go on a fast horse.

From Shengjing, he ran out of the official road, and went out of three cities to the official road. It was already the evening of the second day.

I was exhausted from galloping all the way, even if we didn't rest, the horse would have to rest, I slowed down the speed of the horse a little, and when I was approaching the middle of the official road, I saw a big red lantern in front of me from a distance, and then approached I saw the word "Inn" written on the lantern.

I speeded up my horse and walked over, and just as I arrived at the door, a young man walked over and greeted politely, "Guest officer, please come inside, and the horses and horses are tired, please take a rest."

I threw the horse rope to him directly, "Feed the good horse feed, and brush his hair."

"Okay!" The waiter responded, and I walked into the lobby and walked to the counter. Before I could speak, the shopkeeper spoke first, guest officer, hello, do you still stay in the shop? "

I took out a piece of broken silver, and before I could give it, Xuanyuan Chen threw a piece of silver over, "Boss, the upper and lower rooms should be quiet and well ventilated. It's best to be next to each other. If not, face each other." The door is fine too."

"Okay, okay, wait a moment, guest officer." The store owner smiled happily, put away the silver, and began to flip through the register, he flipped through a few times, and said with regret on his face, "I'm sorry, guest officer, little old man I went out to do errands today, and I didn’t know the market just after I came back. I just checked, and there is only one upper room left in our shop.”

Xuanyuan Chen nodded and said, "It's okay, let's just have an upper room or an ordinary room, I can live anywhere."

The shop owner immediately said with regret again, "This... I'm sorry, sir, there are no more ordinary ones. There are many people today. In the evening, my son also came with a team of caravans. They are all crowded, this upper room was reserved by a guest officer before, but suddenly they don’t want it, or else there is no such thing.”

I frowned slightly, how could I live in one room.

Xuanyuan Chen said, "If that's the case, we won't be able to stay here for now, please."

The store owner is also a reasonable person, even though he was reluctant, he hurriedly returned Xuanyuan Chen's money.I remembered that the boy at the door had helped feed the horses, so I gave the broken silver in my hand to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper thanked me a lot and sent us all the way to the shop door.

Just as the two of us were about to leave, a wind blew up on a good night, followed by a flash of lightning, a clack of thunder, and heavy rain fell down.

The rain fell quickly and quickly, the ground was covered with deep water in a short while, and the sky was constantly thundering and lightning. It seemed that the rain would not stop for a while.

"It's getting bigger and bigger, it seems that I can't go." Xuanyuan Chen pulled me back a little to avoid being drenched by raindrops.

I forgot to glance outside the door, and I was also a little annoyed.I can't walk, and I can't live in a store, it's a bit difficult...

The store owner was also tangled, but his eyes lit up quickly, and he said, "Eh... two guest officers, please let the little old man say a few words. The upper room of our store has a very good environment. There are four large rooms that are transparent from the north to the south. The window is clean and spacious, or... I will add a floor for you two, and I will add a curtain, and the two guest officers can make do, then... just spend the night in the small shop first?"

Uh... this is not good...

Although the people of Xiqi are open, they are not open enough to live under one roof.

Although, when he was a child, he often went to my room in the middle of the night, but at that time I was like bean sprouts, but now it is different, this body has grown up, and men and women can't kiss each other!

"Hey boss, is there any room?"

At this time, a person ran past the door against the wind and rain, but before the person arrived, the voice had already arrived.

The shopkeeper immediately said, "Two guest officers, there is only one room in this shop. If you hesitate, this room will be gone."

Xuanyuan Chen didn't hesitate, and immediately said, "That's how it is, this one, we want it!"

"Hey, okay, please go upstairs, I'll prepare hot water for you right away." The shopkeeper put the ingot of silver back into his arms with a happy expression on his face.

I was very embarrassed, felt my face was hot, and my heart was beating wildly.

In the last life, even though I had been with Baili Tianqi for so many years, the two of us had never been in the same room.

now……

Xuanyuan Chen suddenly slowed down, put his face closer together, bent his lips and said with a smile, "little girl, why are you blushing, are you a little nervous?"

I frowned slightly, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, it's hot in this room, I...I'm hot."

"Oh..." Xuanyuan Chen nodded knowingly, and smiled, pointing to my hand with endless jokes in his peach eyes, "Then what are you doing with your fists, are you going to hit someone?" ?”

Only then did I realize that I had clenched my fists and my steps were very stiff, as if I was about to go to the execution ground step by step.

I couldn't help being a little embarrassed, I really lived more and more and went back, didn't I just live in a shop, besides, it was said that there was an extra floor, and I wasn't on a couch, what was I struggling with.

Taking a deep breath secretly, I strode upstairs.

"Guest officers, here we are. This is the best room in our store. Take a look, both of you, but you are still satisfied."

The shopkeeper led us to the door of the upper room, and pushed the door open.

As he said, the upper room is spacious and clean. There are complete tables, chairs, bookshelves and decorations. There is a large screen on the right side, and a huge round wooden barrel behind it, which is prepared for bathing.

The two of us put our bags on the table, and the shopkeeper brought over pillows and a few chairs.

He put several chairs together and threw thick cotton mattresses on them, and a simple couch was built.

After the preparation was complete, he brought dinner again.

The dishes for this dinner are pretty good, three meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and one soup, the two of us drove for a day and a night, we drank water and ate beef jerky, smelling the aroma of the dishes, we all had a great appetite, and it was clean Sitting in front of the table with hands, it was like wind and clouds, and after a while, the dishes on the table were empty.

After eating, the servant has prepared hot water and poured it into the big bucket behind the screen.

The whole journey was full of dust and sweat, and it was time to take a bath.

only……

I looked sideways at Xuanyuan Chen, his eyes were shining brightly, as if...

no intention of going out...

I had no choice but to say, "I'm tired, I want to take a shower and go to bed."

He nodded with a serious face, meaning to let me go quickly, and then sat leisurely at the tea table, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to sip slowly.

I was a little embarrassed, turned the corner and said again, "Why don't you take a shower first, I'll go out for a walk, I'll be back when I'm done."

Xuanyuan Chen actually said, "No, you should go first. You are a girl and you like to be clean. I'll wait until you recover."

After speaking, he took another sip of tea, half-squinting his eyes as he enjoyed it.

I looked at him, then at the screen.

The place where he was sitting was facing the screen. At this time, the bucket was filled with hot water, and the heat was lingering, steaming the screen a bit...

A little transparent.

My face suddenly burned, and then my ears also started to burn. In this case, how should I wash...

"Hahaha..." Xuanyuan Chen laughed suddenly, and it was only then that I realized that his eyes were full of sarcasm, and this man was actually teasing me on purpose.

I got angry and said, "What are you laughing at, hurry up and get out!"

He was not annoyed, he got up slowly and walked to the door, then turned around and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to guard you at the door? I am happy to help..."

I immediately said, "No, go out."

He nodded, opened the door and walked out.I breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down my beating heart, and gently untied the brocade.

At this time, the closed door suddenly opened, and a head poked in from the outside, "Don't worry, you can soak slowly, I'll go out for a while, and I won't enter the house soon."

"Get out!" I was angry, and I took two quick steps, closed the door tightly, then picked up the bolt, forked the door from the inside, shook it twice to see that it was still firm, and felt relieved.

I ran to the windows again, closed the four windows, put on the forks, made sure no one would come in through the windows, and then went behind the screen.

I reached out and tried the hot water, and it was lukewarm, just the right temperature.

I found that the store was very careful, and even prepared petals, so I reached out and raised the petals in the water.

After a long time of fatigue, it must be quite comfortable to take a hot bath of petals and sleep.

I undressed tightly, and went into the big wooden barrel happily. I had just scooped up a scoop of hot water, when I heard a faint sound outside the door, which was very close to me.

"Little girl, do you need a cotton towel?"

I:"……"
