Let Me Pursue You - Chapter 58

Lu Shiqing carried the paper kite and went back to the room, as if carrying a treasure, the smile on his lips could not be stopped no matter what.

Not far away, Lu Shuangyu, who didn’t know what was going on, stared at this scene dumbfounded, feeling somewhat complicated. After tomorrow, elder brother will be twenty-three years old, maybe this is not the legendary rejuvenation.

Lu Shiqing explained the business affairs with Xuan Shi during dinner, omitting the specific whereabouts and reasons. Firstly, Emperor Huining confessed that in order to avoid turmoil among the people, the war was temporarily concealed within the capital, and all courtiers who were discussing matters in the Xuanzheng Hall today were prohibited from speaking out to the outside world.

Secondly, the so-called peace talks were supposed to be held when both the enemy and us intended to cease fighting, but now Da Zhou unilaterally intends to retreat from the enemy, so Lu Shiqing is tantamount to hitting the knife’s edge and revealing his purpose and whereabouts early , is likely to cause a fatal disaster, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

It is no good for Xuan Shi and Lu Shuangyu to know too much.

It’s just that the two of them are not stupid. The sage has always loved Lu Shiqing. If it was not necessary, he would not be ordered to go on a business trip at the end of the year. In such a situation, I am afraid that there is only one possibility, that is, the military situation is urgent. But where the war broke out, they were in the back house, but they really had no way of knowing.

Lu Shiqing went back to the study after dinner, lit up the lamp and finished sorting out the military newspaper and studied the route of the trip going south. He took a bath and took a break near the second watch. Before going to bed, remembering Yuan Cixian, he couldn’t help but take out her paper kite again Look. After seeing this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

and many more. Although this love poem can be regarded as heroic and unrestrained, such a roundabout method does not seem to be like Yuan Cixian’s style of conduct. What’s more, he remembered that he had already hinted at the words very clearly today, and she also clearly understood the meaning of it, since they all came to Lu’s residence, how could they hang a kite and leave willingly?

At first, Lu Shiqing was concerned about the south of Yunnan, and at the same time, his blood was agitated by certain words in the poem. Only now did he realize that something went wrong.

His complexion gradually became ugly, and after he figured out the cause and effect, he couldn’t help throwing off the quilt in a fit of anger.

It’s better to poke his own eyes with his meddling eyes!

Lu Shiqing’s mouth was full of blood, and he wanted to vomit but couldn’t vomit, so impatient that he was pacing back and forth in front of the bed in his underwear. The date of return from the trip to southern Yunnan has not yet been determined. If Yuan Cixian continues to misunderstand like this, when he returns to Chang’an, won’t he receive a thick book of poems?

no.

He glanced at the dark window, and hated to come out with his clothes on.

Lu Shiqing spent a lot of trouble avoiding the curfew and patrolling for nearly three hours. When he arrived at the Yuan Mansion, he struggled for a long time, and finally made up his mind to do the job of visiting the boudoir at night as described in Fengyue’s storybook, but as soon as he got close to the outer wall, he was caught A servant who carried a lantern and hurried out of the side door called out: “Is it Lu Shilang?” Wait for him.”

“…” The storybook is full of lies.

Lu Shiqing, who was sitting on the sidelines for the first time at the night visit to the boudoir, turned black in an instant, and wanted to turn around and leave, but because he knew that if he gave up the opportunity tonight, seeing Yuan Cixian might be far away, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the servants to the middle hall.

Yuan Yizhi didn’t seem to have slept at all, and came soon, and when he saw him, he scolded him coldly: “It seems that Lu Shilang doesn’t remember the promise he made with me.”

All the way from the side door to the middle hall, Lu Shiqing has already resumed his usual posture, showing no embarrassment at all, and said with a smile: “Lu is indeed not a gentleman. To me, promises are more important than life and death. If I am going to die tomorrow , so I have no intention of keeping the promise tonight.”

Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows straightly: “I remember, Lu Shilang kept telling the saint that you are 100% sure.”

Lu Shiqing smiled lightly: “If I don’t say 100%, how can the saint agree to my request? You know the situation in southern Yunnan better than I do, and you know that this matter can never be 100% sure, so you left it to me tonight.” The door, willing to allow me to meet her and say goodbye.”

Yuan Yizhi didn’t speak as if he had tacitly agreed. He stared at him for a while and said: “Boy, I know you are not the generation of Feng He, a violent tiger, and you will be able to persuade Nanzhao and Tubo to withdraw their troops, but the premise is that you have to speak up.”

Lu Shiqing nodded. It is true that when going to southern Yunnan, it is easy to “convince” but difficult to “speak” in the word “persuasion”.

Yuan Yizhi took out a piece of crescent-shaped solid color Emperor Topaz from his wide sleeve, handed it to him and said, “Here, I don’t need to teach you how to use it.”

Lu Shiqing looked down and hesitated slightly.

Before that, he was still not sure whether Yuan Yizhi had secretly cultivated his own private army in southern Yunnan. When he helped Zheng Zhuo win over Yuan Yu, he tried several detours to inquire, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, the answer came to the door by itself.

This piece of Emperor Topaz, presumably, was a token enough to command that private army.

Yuan Yi handed over such things to him, no doubt the lifeblood of the Yuan family was in his hands. If he has the heart, he can hand it over to the saint when he turns back, and put the Yuan family to death.

Lu Shiqing had to say that he was a little surprised.

He was silent, stretched out his hand to push back and said: “You should know that there is more than one way to defeat the enemy. Lu Mou insisted on bowing down to the south, just to prevent Nanzhao from putting Yuan’s family at a disadvantage in this battle, and making the sage fear you even more. .If I use this piece of jade to save my life, all my efforts will be in vain, and it may even make the situation worse. So, why don’t I just give up this trip?”

Yuan Yi smiled brightly: “Giving it to you is my morality. Whether you use it or not is your choice and has nothing to do with me. You just have to remember that you can marry my daughter only if you are alive.”

Lu Shiqing shook his head with a smile, and reached out to take it: “Thank you, Wang Nannan, Chengquan.”

He sneered, as if to signal him not to be too happy, and then said: “I will ask my servant to call her to the middle hall, and I will give you two incense sticks.”

Lu Shiqing hurriedly said: “No.”

Yuan Yi twitched his eyebrows: “How?”

“I think you didn’t tell her about the war after you returned from Xuanzheng Hall, and you didn’t plan to tell her the news that I was about to go south, which made her worry. In that case, I asked her to come to Zhongtang and learned that you arranged this How can she not be suspicious?”

Yuan Yi choked.

That’s right, his daughter is so smart, she may indeed be aware of the clues.

Lu Shiqing took advantage of his choking and continued: “If you really sympathize with Lu, why not leave this matter to me.”

Yuan Yizhi immediately became furious: “Are you telling me that you are going to her boudoir?”

“Yes. But you can rest assured that if Lu is really unruly, he was already unruly enough before you came to Chang’an. Of course, if you don’t, I have no choice but to go back home. Will I be able to see him again alive?” For her, it depends on God’s will.”

It is really justified and well-founded, and has won a lot of sympathy!

Yuan Yi was suffocated for a long time, but he felt that he couldn’t refuse the trivial request of a “dying person”, so he pretended that he didn’t know anything, threw up his sleeves and left, before going out, he turned around and added: “A stick of incense!”

In the third watch, Yuan Cixian was fast asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a “bang” sound from the rear window. When she woke up, she realized that something seemed to have broken in, so she hurriedly sat up. She reacted quickly even though she was drowsy. Not a cat or a dog, immediately grabbed the quilt with one hand and wrapped his body, opened his mouth to shout, but first heard someone whisper: “It’s me.”

She was taken aback when she heard this, and then blinked sleepily, and saw Lu Shiqing bypassing the screen in her room, standing in front of her bed, and a gust of cold breathed in.

She shivered and recovered a little bit, but she couldn’t believe her eyes. After rubbing her eyes, she raised her head and said in a daze, “Damn it, am I crazy about writing love poems?”

It’s been a long time since she had a dream where she could see a human face.

Lu Shiqing thought to himself that he might have come here because he was insane, but he said, “Yes, Yuan Cixian, congratulations on dreaming of me.”

Yuan Cixian was skeptical when she heard the words, pinched her own arm hard, let out an “ouch” in pain, and then said with a “hiss” in a cold air: “Lu Shiqing, what nonsense you opened your eyes, it hurts me to death.”

She was completely awake now, startled by the negligence of the guards in the mansion, and suspicious of the reason why Lu Shiqing came here, wrapped up in the quilt and asked him: “It’s midnight, how did you come in, why did you sneak into my boudoir…”

In the middle of her words, Lu Shiqing, who suddenly leaned over, pinched her chin lightly, and even the two lips that opened and closed were swallowed in his mouth.

Lu Shiqing repeated his old trick, taking advantage of her speaking opportunity to knock open her teeth. It’s just different from the last time, the kiss he kissed this time changed from the blind sweeping trend, it was delicate and long, dripping like rain, while the Adam’s apple was rolling, he grabbed her fragrance bit by bit very slowly.

It doesn’t seem to be dominated by desire, intending to tear her to pieces, but more like a kind of pain that cannot be dismissed.

Yuan Cixian was slightly aware of it, and was slightly startled. He didn’t know why, and thought, he is in such pain, could it be that he has committed a cleanliness again?

I haven’t seen anyone for a few days, and I drool on her as soon as I come up, and I still feel disgusted while eating, who forced him to eat? Don’t mention kissing, what kind of kissing!

Yuan Cixian was annoyed, so she didn’t let him go any longer. This time she learned how to be smart, and hit the nail on the head, and bit his tongue hard.

Lu Shiqing frowned in pain and withdrew, seeing a faint fishy sweetness, looked down at her and said, “Is that how you bit me?”

Yes, bite off Qingqing to survive the winter.

She wiped her lips, looking very disgusted with him: “Is it reasonable for you to be a hooligan?”

“You asked me why I sneaked into your boudoir.” He just answered her with practical actions.

Yuan Cixian looked at him bitterly: “Apart from this, don’t you have anything else to say?”

“Oh. Also, I read your poem, and the meter is acceptable.”

Who wants to listen to him talk about this.

Yuan Cixian pointed out: “Lu Shiqing, you stripped my clothes once in Shangzhou, slept in my carriage once in Shuzhou, broke into my boudoir once in Chang’an, held my hand once, hugged me four times, and kissed me three times. It’s all like this You still don’t plan to marry me? How dare you say you don’t like me? “

Finally said it. Lu Shiqing had been waiting for this day for a long time. But she didn’t say it earlier, she didn’t say it later, she said it when he was not sure about giving the answer.

Seeing him choking, Yuan Cixian became more and more angry: “My father will not really scratch your skin and cramps you. When will you come to propose marriage?”

Yuan Cixian really didn’t want to force him with those trivial matters earlier, but seeing his father came to Chang’an, Lu Shiqing remained unmoved. If he waited until his father returned to southern Yunnan, wouldn’t he have a reason to delay her for a year.

No matter what you say, you have to take advantage of these few days to decide on the marriage.

However, Lu Shiqing really can’t count on life. The war in southern Yunnan is going on, and the trip is full of dangers. He promises her now that if there is an emergency, he will really make her a widow.

After hesitating for a while, he said an appropriate answer: “Next time.”

What a perfunctory statement. Yuan Cixian was so annoyed that she wanted to slap him, but he continued to add: “Next time you see me again.”

She hesitated slightly, her eyes lit up: “Really?”

Lu Shiqing nodded with a serious expression.

Yuan Cixian’s temper came and went quickly, he patted the edge of the bed to signal him to sit down, and then asked: “That’s simple, to avoid long nights and dreams, I will go to see you tomorrow to watch the year.”

Lu Shiqing didn’t sit down, sighed inwardly, and refused, “I’m not free tomorrow, so you just stay home. It’s getting late, I should go.”

Yuan Cixian refused to let him go, grabbed his arm, and forced him to the edge of the bed: “Tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve, why don’t you stay at the house? You can propose marriage at your house, it doesn’t matter where, I will come. “

Seeing that he remained silent, she pinched his arm again, frowned and said, “Did you hear that? Obediently wait for me to come to your door tomorrow and be proposed by you.”

What kind of marriage proposal is this. Lu Shiqing couldn’t help laughing, seeing that he couldn’t leave if he didn’t agree, so he blinked and said, “Okay.”
