Cold King’s Hot Love - C458 Leaving Merchant House
The Great Elder stood on top of the cliff, while the Second Martial Brother stood beside him, supporting his arm.
The wind was blowing.
The cool breeze from the cliff blew against their faces, blowing their hair into the air.
However, the two of them didn’t move at all as they continued to stare ahead.
Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong, Shen Haoxuan and the others walked towards the foot of the mountain, but Shang Zhiqing seemed to have sensed something as she suddenly returned. Seeing the two figures standing motionlessly on the cliff, her eyes reddened once again.
He waved to the grand elder and the second junior, then left with the other three without looking back.
However, the moment she turned her head, the tears in her eyes suddenly fell, sliding from her cheeks to her chin, dropping drop by drop onto the ground.
Very quickly, it seeped into the soil and disappeared.
Shen Haoxuan pursed his lips, holding onto the handkerchief and pinched it again and again. In the end, he still pulled Shang Zhiqing and gently and meticulously helped her wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes and face.
However, Shen Haoxuan felt that his strength was very gentle, and did not know that Shang Zhiqing was almost going crazy from Shen Haoxuan’s rough cleaning.
Two lines of impressions quickly appeared on her flawless white face.
Shen Haoxuan asked with some confusion: “What’s wrong?”
The reluctance and sorrow in Shang Zhiqing’s heart had all disappeared with Shen Haoxuan’s rough strength.
Seeing Shen Haoxuan’s puzzled look, Shen Haoxuan could not help but ruthlessly pinch Shen Haoxuan’s cheek. Shen Haoxuan cried out: “Why are you pinching me?”
“Does it hurt?” Shang Zhiqing asked expressionlessly.
“Of course it hurts. Why don’t you pinch yourself, pinch me. ” Shen Haoxuan said softly, his tone carrying a bit of complaint, but seeing Shang Zhiqing’s unfriendly gaze, he closed his mouth.
“If you wipe my face and make it hurt, I’ll pinch you. You still have the nerve to back up?” Shang Zhiqing pointed to her own face.
Tell Shen Haoxuan that the red mark on his face has become like this because of Shen Haoxuan.
Shen Haoxuan did not dare believe it, and blurted out: “I rubbed it very gently, how could it hurt?”
However, this so called gentleness was only the gentleness that Shen Haoxuan thought he was. A man’s strength and a woman’s strength were always different, not to mention, Shen Haoxuan was a person with extraordinary martial arts, so his methods were naturally neither light nor heavy.
However, when he saw Shang Zhiqing’s angry expression, Shen Haoxuan could only withdraw her expression of disbelief and pull at Shang Zhiqing’s hand with a wronged expression.
Shang Zhiqing also did not open his eyes, and took the initiative to hold his hand.
Shen Haoxuan immediately forgot about his previous unhappiness, and happily pulled Shang Zhiqing along as he followed along.
Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong naturally heard the commotion behind them. The two of them looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other’s eyes. They shook their heads and continued to move.
They had to reach the Yongzhou Inn before nightfall. It was not safe to sleep in the wilderness at night, even though they all had powerful martial arts skills.
Xuanyuan Chen carefully protected Xie Qingrong’s waist and waist along the way, trying his best to take her to a more flat place to avoid some winding and muddy ground. Shang Zhiqing and Shen Haoxuan, who were behind them, didn’t have any objections even if they went back the way they came.
After all, the current Xie Qingrong was already pregnant, and had experienced the matter of bloodletting, so it was a good time for him to be weak.
But looking at Xuanyuan Chen’s attitude, he was being too careful.
Xie Qingrong saw Xuanyuan Chen protecting and taking care of her, and memorized it at the bottom of his heart. The way she looked at Xuanyuan Chen was warm and gentle.
Who would have thought that the cold-blooded killer, whom they had never met before, would have such a warm and gentle side to him?
“We still have two miles ahead before we reach the Yongzhou City. But it’s getting dark, and we have to hurry. It would be best if we enter the city before nightfall. After all, the Yongzhou City has an early ban time. ” Shang Zhiqing said as she pushed the weeds away.
Shen Haoxuan feebly wrapped his arms around Shang Zhiqing’s waist and nodded: “Mn.”
Finally, in the last moment before the city gates closed, he arrived at Yongzhou City and found a random inn to rest up.
At the stronghold of the Yongzhou City in front of Shen Haoxuan, he wanted to retrieve the latest news on the letters that had been sent over the past few days.
As for Xuanyuan Chen, ask the doctor to come here and check his pulse.
Shang Zhiqing took a cloak and put it on Xie Qingrong. The night wind was a little cool, and could not be blown too much, especially on girls like Xie Qingrong who were pregnant.
Just as he put on the cape, Xuanyuan Chen and the doctor went into the inn. After the doctor gave Xie Qingrong some baby protection pills and told him not to overwork herself, he left the inn.
The waiter brought the hot food up and placed it on the table. The three of them sat in front of the table, quietly waiting for Shen Haoxuan.
When Shen Haoxuan brought the large bag of letters back, the three of them were a little shocked.
“Why are there so many?” Shang Zhiqing helped Shen Haoxuan organize the letters, and asked puzzledly.
Shang Zhiqing asked this question, which made Shen Haoxuan somewhat depressed. If he did not have his own martial arts and so many things, he would have died of exhaustion long ago.
Scratching his head, he answered Shang Zhiqing: “Before we entered the merchant house, I sent a pigeon to profound mechanism and Tianyi Pavilion, telling them to deliver all the urgent letters to them. When we come out, we can find out what is happening in time.”
“But I also didn’t expect that there would be so many.” After saying that, Shen Haoxuan helplessly looked at the pile of letters on the desk.
I don’t know when or how long it will take to finish these letters.
He could only choose some of the most important letters. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to finish them even if he gave them three days.
Xie Qingrong originally wanted to help the three of them read the letter, but she was stopped by Xuanyuan Chen’s argument that reading the letter at night would cause the baby too much pain.
Xie Qingrong could only make some tea by the side, and make a pile of tea. In the end, only a pile of useless tea leaves remained, and the brewed tea had already entered the stomachs of Xuanyuan Chen, Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing.
After fumbling with the lamp wick in the oil lamp, Shang Zhiqing suddenly took out the letter in her hand and cried out in alarm.
After disturbing Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Haoxuan, the two of them were slightly unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Shang Zhiqing directly passed the letter to the two of them. After Xuanyuan Chen finished reading the letter, his face became serious, and even Shen Haoxuan who was usually indifferent to the situation did not say a word.
Seeing the three of them looking solemn, Xie Qingrong was extremely curious. After taking the letter, Xuanyuan Chen did not stop them and after reading the letter, his pretty face also darkened.
“Congratulations, Your Highness.” Xie Qingrong suddenly said. The smile on her face was actually sarcastic, but her eyes released a cold light.
