Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 86

"To be honest, I know him, but he doesn't know me, and doesn't remember at all." Joan smiled wryly, but her tone was calm, "This is the sad thing about the love between many children. The temperament of not shedding tears in the coffin made this torment unnecessary." Then he stood up, "Shall we go out for a walk?"

"Okay." Ye Xizhao nodded happily.Speaking of which, since she arrived on the island, she has never left this courtyard.Turning to the room, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll bring out two cloaks."

Joan smiled and said hello.

Ye Xizhao chose a snow rabbit fur cloak for Qiao An, and when he helped put it on, he couldn't help but annoyed, "You were injured so badly before, and it's so cold now, why don't you know how to wear more?" She knew that the man's cloak must have been put on by Xiao Xunqiang.

"At what age did you start practicing martial arts? I'm used to wearing single clothes in colder weather than this." Qiao An patted Ye Xizhao's face with a smile, "For your consideration, I just wore it." .”

Ye Xizhao smiled helplessly, took Qiao An's hand, and walked outside together, only to find that the fog that permeated last night had not dissipated.

In the courtyard, Xiao Xun was conversing with Yu Shaoheng calmly, and there were several hidden guards standing outside the door.When Xiao Xun saw the two women coming out, he turned around and told his subordinates: "Bring those things in and put them properly." Then he nodded and smiled at Ye Xizhao.

Ye Xizhao pointed to the room, "You go inside and talk, we go outside."

Both men nodded.

When walking out of the courtyard, Ye Xizhao saw a group of people approaching with many boxes and cages in order, and couldn't help being stunned for a while, "This battle..." Then he was worried, "How many people have come here?"

Qiao An also couldn't help laughing, "Seventy-eight out of ten were brought by Xiao Xun, and he thought of everything. There was a thick fog last night, so no one would notice. When I go back, I will break it into pieces and walk a few minutes. I beg my father to get rid of those eyeliners of King Chengyuan in the next two days, don't worry."

These two people, their own lives are in a mess, but they put themselves in the shoes of their friends, and just talking about this point, they have a tacit understanding.

While strolling around, Ye Xizhao asked about Qiao An's family background: "I think your parents dote on you very much, and they are very reassuring about you, right? Otherwise, whichever house you change to, you won't let your daughter go out at night." The reason for saying these words is also because they learned that Qiao Zongbing and his wife wanted to make Qiao An fulfill their wish, so they rejected Zhong Liming's marriage proposal and let Qiao An marry Xiao Xun.

Joan's smile became extraordinarily soft, and her voice was full of contentment: "My parents are both martial arts practitioners. As far as I can remember, they were husbands and wives who followed each other. Over the years, my father has never accepted Concubine, I respect my mother very much. We are four brothers and sisters. Except for my elder sister who is dedicated to studying medicine, my two younger brothers and I have followed our parents to practice martial arts since childhood. My parents always say that I am the most talented and will devote my whole life I have taught me everything, and my two younger brothers always say that they are biased, and that they are not as good as me in martial arts, and it is entirely because of me."

Ye Xizhao listened and envied Qiao An for having such a warm home.

Qiao An continued: "I'm quite sensible in my boudoir. Apart from practicing martial arts, other girls are also good at learning. They are not reckless and impulsive when they encounter problems. My parents are very relieved of me, and even let me go. I took my two younger brothers on a long trip. Firstly, my father believed that I would not be careless outside. Secondly, he said that long-distance travel can also open up people’s hearts, which is the same for both men and women. Think about it, getting married Before, when I was in my mother's house, I couldn't be more carefree."

Ye Xizhao listened to Qiao Zongbing's way of doting and teaching him, whom he had never met, and besides admiring him, he became even more envious of Qiao An.

"Later..." Qiao An's voice was a little helpless because his thoughts shifted to other things, "Once, my father went hunting, and I accompanied a group of elite soldiers, and met Zhongli. Since then, I was stalked by him. In this world, no matter how strong a daughter's family is, it is useless. When a man stalks you by any means, no matter how you ignore it, people will still spread gossip. "

Some men in this world feel from the bottom of their hearts that women are the ones he should take care of. He doesn't mind women being weak or strong, as long as he loves them, such as Yu Shaoheng.And some men, who can fall into his eyes and enter his heart are women with sharp edges that are different from ordinary people. He will not think about women, he only wants to get them, such as Zhong Lixuan.

Ye Xizhao can easily imagine how heroic and heroic a woman like Joan is when galloping on horseback, and how heart-thumping she is, plus she is usually calm and elegant, she really is like a rabbit and a virgin .Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Zhong Liming, you really have a bad relationship." If Qiao An and Xiao Xun didn't have this son-in-law, how could they come to this point.

Qiao An sighed, "That's right. At that time, King Jing was still in Mobei. My father's position as the commander-in-chief was to guard a pass, this sea area, and not interfere with King Jing's well water. In fact, it was used by the emperor to supervise To coerce Prince Jing at that time and Prince Chengyuan now. Both of these two princes wanted to win my father over. Therefore, when Zhong Lixuan was stalking me, Prince Jing would naturally not interfere. He even helped Zhong Liming many times."

"It's reasonable for Prince Jing to do this, just like going to the Marquis Mansion to propose marriage."

"That's right." Qiao An took Ye Xizhao's hand and walked down a steep gravel road, and then said, "Later, my two younger brothers clamored to go to the capital to visit relatives, and I also wanted to see the world. So as to avoid Zhong Liyang. My parents agreed, and it was on that trip that I met Xiao Xun."

Ye Xizhao didn't make a sound, and waited for the next sentence.

"We met on the road for the first time. Relying on our martial arts skills, my brother and I took the short and dangerous road to the capital." Qiao An said, his eyes became a little dazed, "Xiao Xun has been around us with a few men. He always looks lazy. At first, I thought he was a dude from some family. Later, I met a group of gangsters who wanted to stop the gold and silver that the two groups of us carried with us. I Although the two younger brothers are young, they are very calm, and I just waited and watched in the carriage. Of course, Xiao Xun didn't need us to take action at all, saying that his hands were itchy, so he fought those thugs alone."

Ye Xizhao looked at Qiao An with anticipation in his eyes.

Joan was silent for a moment before continuing: "At first I thought he was looking for his own death, but I didn't expect... his whole person has become different, as if he suddenly became a sword drawn from its scabbard. , with a murderous look, and very attractive." Speaking of this, he smiled embarrassedly, "You are not a martial arts practitioner, you may think I am unreasonable, but Xiao Xun in that situation is really It made it impossible for me to look away. When a man stands in a situation that seems to be suitable for him, he will become very calm and confident, and his whole body will be shining."

Ye Xizhao nodded slightly to show his understanding.Even if you haven’t seen it, you can think of it—a general like Yu Shaoheng, when he gallops on the battlefield and is surrounded by thousands of troops, is his most eye-catching moment; as the commander of the dark guard, Xiao Xun is naturally not as heavy as Yu Shaoheng in killing, but undoubtedly, he is best at What they want is to kill people, and even to make such cruel things elegant and pleasing to the eye.And Qiao An is a person who practiced martial arts, and she would not be as frightened as an ordinary woman when it comes to such things. She can see the doorway, and she can admire her in a moment, plus Xiao Xun's handsome face...

"After taking care of the gang of bandits, Xiao Xun led his men away. Only then did the three of us realize that he purposely lingered around us, fearing that we would be killed by bandits." Qiao An said a little He smiled sarcastically, "Thinking about it now, it's very rare for him to have such a kind deed. Maybe he was young at the time, and his temperament was not as cruel as it is now."

But Ye Xizhao asked curiously: "He left without talking to you?"

"That's right." Joan smiled, "It's because of this that the three of us remember him, and he has long since forgotten that matter. Even if I mention it to him now, he won't remember it. As long as he pays attention to a person, he will never forget it, but if he has never paid attention to a person, you let him look at him for a long time, if this person is not hostile to him, it has nothing to do with him, and the next time we meet, it will be the same. do not remember."

Ye Xizhao stroked his forehead and sighed, unconsciously excused Xiao Xun: "He is too busy, he has too many things on his mind, right?"

Joan pursed her lips, "I know the details of many officials in my mind, but I will never remember my own affairs—everything related to him must be recorded in the book."

Ye Xizhao laughed out loud, "Such a person is indeed a headache." Then he asked with great interest, "Then what happened next? What happened to those black crystal beads?"

"Later, the three of us, my siblings, went to the relatives' home in the capital city. After we stayed, we began to play in the capital city. My father could rest assured that the three of us would travel long distances to the capital city, and the relatives would naturally not restrain us. The three of us I like to eat the dishes of the capital, from street snacks to the signature dishes of restaurants, I want to eat them all." Joan smiled from the bottom of his heart when he thought of the situation at that time, "That is, when entering and leaving the restaurant, the two younger brothers were in a room. The restaurant saw Xiao Xun twice, and saw that he was always surrounded by officials, so he inquired carefully, and learned that he was the feared leader of the secret guard. Naturally, he also heard that this master likes to drink booze, and often A table of people drank all kinds of meat and vegetables, and he asked someone else to continue drinking."

A man like Xiao Xun has a complex and changeable temperament, as well as his behavior. He will either make women flinch, or exude a fatal attraction to a woman.Joan, on the other hand, belongs to the latter.

These past events have always been kept in my heart, why doesn't Qiao An want to talk about it with others, and look back.Now that Ye Xizhao cared about her from the bottom of her heart, she naturally told the truth: "I really met Xiao Xun when I went to a temple fair with my two younger brothers one day. At night, I was still looking for them in the capital. On a street, I saw Xiao Xun walking out of a restaurant. His face was very bad, there was blood on his clothes, and he was injured. Behind him, a group of people followed Him. I followed behind his sedan chair in a strange way, worried that he would be plotted against or even killed."

After a moment of silence, Qiao An's voice became calm, "Then his sedan chair turned into an alley, and the group attacked. Naturally, his bearers couldn't help him, and he was injured, so I will Cover your face with a veil and help. During that period, he didn’t necessarily need my help. While killing and killing me, he was distracted to take care of me to prevent me from getting hurt-he probably didn’t want to owe anyone anything, and he simply ignored himself After repelling those people, a string of black crystal chains he carried with him broke off and scattered on the ground. He was already exhausted, but he still smiled and said to me, a little girl should not be so kind, and rescued her People who are not necessarily deserving of death. After that, I looked at the beads on the ground, bent down to pick up one as hard as I could, and then got into the sedan chair and left."

After that, Qiao An naturally put away all the crystal beads he could find, and naturally kept Xiao Xun's words in his heart.

He will show kindness and save their siblings from a troublesome incident, but he is unwilling to accept other people's kindness to him, and he doesn't care about his own safety.

After that, Qiao An said sadly: "That's how I remember him. He used to go to Mobei for business, and I can often see him from a distance. People are probably like this. You can't see him through, but you appreciate him, so you can see him." I think he is even more mysterious, and everything he does is pleasing to the eye. Moreover, he is a clean and self-contained person. No matter how many rumors there are, it has nothing to do with women. Then there is something later, I ask my parents to help me fulfill my wish, and I want to Marrying him has come true." Speaking of this, his eyes darkened, "But who would have expected that after he worshiped with me, he would not return to his room that night, and he would show up in front of me again after hanging out with me for more than a month. With a cold face, he slapped a letter written by Zhong Liming in front of me."

Ye Xizhao's eyes widened in surprise, and his voice was very annoyed: "How could Xiao Xun neglect you so much? Zhong Lizhen is too shameless!"

Qiao An smiled wryly, "But this is absolutely true. Zhong Liming didn't get the temperament that was about to destroy him, so he despicably provoked my relationship with Xiao Xun-in fact, how can there be any relationship at all? In his eyes Here, I was just someone he casually agreed to marry. In the first year, every time I saw him, I couldn’t see him smiling. Either I tried to explain in a low voice that he misunderstood my relationship with Zhongli, Either he blamed me for making mistakes in taking care of the inner house. My sister is the same, how many times she has to help me explain, but he doesn't give you a chance at all, and a single sentence can make you speechless for a long time. Therefore, slow-hearted Slowly hurt to the core, cold to the bone, those crystal beads have no intention, let alone mention it."

Ye Xizhao held Qiao An's hand tightly, feeling extremely sad.If he hadn't heard her talk about these things with his own ears, who would have believed that her married life would be so bitter.

Joan's mood also became very depressed, and her voice lowered all the way: "Now everything is over, I am the one who came to the door to suffer, and I deserve it. I am just very disappointed-in my eyes, I always feel that the so-called husband and wife are me My father and mother are so harmonious. I never thought that it would be like this after I got married. So at first I always foolishly thought that as long as I treat him well with all my heart, there will always be a day of happiness, who knows , he never gave me this chance."

"I understand your feelings," Ye Xizhao comforted softly, "In the future, you can decide at your own discretion. If you still have that person in your heart, it depends on him; if you have been heartbroken and tired, you can really Let him go."

She really understands Qiao An's mood, Xiao Xun's level of bastard is not inferior to her before.Yu Shaoheng's willingness to forgive her was the luckiest thing in her life, but if Yu Shaoheng didn't forgive her, she could only accept it completely.If you make a mistake, you must pay the corresponding price.

At this time, Xiao Xun was helping Yu Shaoheng to hang a map of the territory on the wall of Dongci Room.

Yu Shaoheng asked: "What's the purpose of your fake death?"

"Few people believe that I faked my death, but I still have to do it for the sake of convenience. Besides, if I always stay in one place, won't it become my father-in-law's punching bag and the target of King Chengyuan's arrow? It's not unbearable, It’s just that one thing more is worse than one thing less, it’s annoying.”

Yu Shaoheng smiled, "Haven't you met your father-in-law yet?"

"No, tomorrow I will go to take the thorn and plead guilty."

"The General Military Mansion is a good hiding place."

However, Xiao Xun shook his head without hesitation, "I'm full of right and wrong, my father-in-law Yu Gong will definitely let me stay, but if I get into trouble, I won't be more sinful? Besides, Qiao An may think that in my bones If I stalk like Zhongli, then I really lose more than I gain."

"This is the behavior of a gentleman." Yu Shaoheng glanced at Xiao Xun, "What did you plan?"

"When people are in distress, they can do nothing wrong, so it's better not to make fun of yourself." Xiao Xun said, with a smile on his lips, "Besides, if the emperor loses this game in the future, you will be better off. After all, I have made great military exploits and are loved by the people and soldiers, so no one should take this into consideration. But I am different, I will only die at that time, if that is the case, why do I need to let Qiao An change his opinion of me before going to die?"
