Chapter 9 What does Chang'an mean? Is he afraid of being recognized?(1/2)

"What are you doing with me again? Didn't you agree to return to the bridge and road?"

After dinner, Chen Xing walked on the bustling street and found that Xiang Shu was still following him.

"You are allowed to walk on this road, but I am not allowed to walk on this road?" Xiang Shu said indifferently.

Chen Xing: "Okay, you go here too, where are you going?"

The two stood in the middle of the street, staring at each other, and no one spoke for a moment. Chen Xing thought about it again? Could this guy have no money?

On the way, he asked Xiang Shu for his medicine bag, but Xiang Shu returned him. He didn't get much gold from the robbery bank and didn't see him use it. When would it be spent?

"You are also seeking your friends?" Chen Xing looked up and down at Xiang Shu, and saw that he was covered in dust. He said dissatisfied: "People rely on clothes. If you seek to seek your friends in this way, you will only be looked down upon. Forget it, buy you clothes and follow me."

Chen Xing asked about the way and bought ready-made clothes for himself and Xiang Shu in the Chang'an Yishu.

"Can you go take a shower?" Chen Xing said.

Chen Xing thought about it and took Xiang Shu to the bathhouse for a bath. Xiang Shu didn't say anything along the way, nor did he pay. He just stood behind Chen Xing and watched, waiting for him to use the money, and he didn't say anything wherever he went.

"I really can't bear to part with the killer brother." Chen Xing was used to Xiang Shu's attitude, so he soaked in the bathhouse, played with towels for fun, and said casually.

"He is not a killer." Xiang Shu also came down and soaked in the pool

"I know, he is a swordsman." Chen Xing replied: "Speak casually, he doesn't seem to have much money on him..."

"Not a swordsman."

Since Xiang Shu beat Feng Qianjun away, he seemed to have talked more.

Chen Xing: "?"

"Who is he?" Chen Xing asked tentatively. For some reason, he always felt that Xiang Shu and Feng Qianjun seemed to have a vague competition along the way, just like the mutual fear and guard against each other between martial arts masters. But Feng Qianjun himself admitted that he was not Xiang Shu's opponent, why did Xiang Shu care about him particularly?

Xiang Shu said coldly: "I don't know." Then he picked up the knife folded beside the bath, lowered his head slightly, and shaved stubble towards the water.

"Do you want help?" Chen Xing asked him, afraid that he would scratch his face, so he helped him scrape his temples along his jaw. Xiang Shu was imprisoned for half a year without seeing the sun, his skin was fair, and he was indeed quite beautiful. After changing into a new robe, he was completely different, not inferior to the beautiful Xianbei men coming and going on the street.

When the two walked out of the bathhouse, it happened to be noon. Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu, but Xiang Shu took out the mask he had seized in Longzhong and put it on his face. It was a thin wooden mask that could be seen everywhere in Chang'an City. It was a small side. After wearing it, it could only block his eyebrows and eyes, showing his warm lips and towering nose, which added to his handsome and mysterious temperament.

What does it mean? He is afraid of being recognized? Chen Xing thought.

"Then, you..." Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu with a sore heart. He wanted to say, "Don't be here, it's over. The bastard guardian in Yushu, you can get out of here, but you can't speak anyway."

Xiang Shu turned over the horse, and Chen Xing hurriedly said, "Oh! My horse!"

The horse that Xiang Shu rode all the way from Xiangyang to Chang'an was a Qin official horse, so he naturally could not ride into the city. Currently, the two of them were the only mount Chen Xing left, and they were gone if Xiang Shu snatched away!

Unexpectedly, Xiang Shu did not leave, but only stared at Chen Xing immediately.

"Where are you going?" Xiang Shu said impatiently: "Get on the horse!"

Chen Xing thought you would send me there? Seeing Xiang Shu like this, he probably wanted to plan his horse again. Forget it and let him send himself to the destination. The horse would be useless, so it would be fine to send him to ride.

"Go to Yuwen's house in the west of the city." Chen Xing said angrily: "Send me here, you can take it away."

The two of them rode together, and Chen Xing couldn't help but say, "Why are you so rude? I owe you what I owe you?! Are you shameless?"

Xiang Shu: "Another word, I'll throw you down now."

Chen Xing had to stop talking. He hugged Xiang Shu's waist from behind and was carried by him across the main street of Chang'an. It was a little awkward. He smelled the faint fragrance of soap acacia on his body, and he was really mixed emotions.

Which clan does this guy belong to? Chen Xing couldn't help but think. At that time, among the Five Barbarians of the Di, Jie, Xiongnu, Qiang, and Xianbei, the Di people were magnificent and heroic, the Jie people were brave and fighting, while the Xiongnu were rough and wild, but the Qiang people were similar to the customs of the Han people and settled in Longxi for generations.

Among the Five Barbarians, the most recognized appearance is the Xianbei. The Xianbei people are from the Donghu family, with creamy skin, blue eyes, and a very unruly temperament. The famous Murong Chong, who was loved by Fu Jian, was born in the Murong family, one of the four major surnames of Xianbei.

The old lover Chen Xing came to visit was the fourth family of the Xianbei family.

"I'll look for Yuwen Xin." Chen Xing and Xiang Shu said to the gatekeeper in front of the Yuwen family's mansion.

A small window opened inside and said, "The master is not at home." Then, with a snap, he closed the wooden window in front of Chen Xing.

Chen Xing: "It's really here! What do you mean? Open the window quickly!"

Xiang Shu only stood behind Chen Xing silently, and did not respond, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Xing had to knock on the small window again and said, "I am your master's classmate, and I was the best back then..."

Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed. Xiang Shu took advantage of the small window opening again and popped in a golden ingot. He heard a happy "Oh" sound, and then pulled the door down and said, "Come on, come in quickly!"

Chen Xing: “…………………”

Chen Xing glanced at Xiang Shu and had to follow him in. The servant in the doorman got the gold ingot and took the two to the tea room where the guests were entertaining, saying, "The master has really entered the palace... How can you tell me about it when you sit down and drink tea?"

"Just tell him that Chen Xing is here." Seeing that Yuwen Xin's mansion is rich and full of bamboo, the mountains and rivers are gurgling, and the ancient atmosphere is full of maids, Chen Xing said, "Are Mr. Yuwen and the old lady here? I'll go and invite you to have a safe place."

"The old man died of illness." The servant replied: "The old lady lives in Youzhou and comes here a rare year."

Chen Xing asked again: "Have Yuwen Xin married?"

"It's not yet." The servant replied, "You can sit down first."

Chen Xing smiled casually and said, "He agreed to marry me back then, but he did not get married."

Xiang Shu: "..."

Xiang Shu sat aside and did not drink Yuwen's tea. Chen Xing pushed him, but without reaction, he did so.

"Do you know the people from the Yuwen family?" Chen Xing said.

"I don't know." Xiang Shu replied.

Chen Xing received such a concise answer again, and finally couldn't help but sting Xiang Shu: "Has anyone said you were boring?"

"Everyone said that." Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing from under the mask.

Chen Xing said: "I think we must talk openly and honestly." However, as he said this, Chen Xing also felt a little strange. The choice of protector of the heart was all his wishful thinking. To Xiang Shu, they were strangers, so why should others talk to you?

Xiang Shu finally picked up the teacup, drank a little tea, and looked at the cup in his hand.

Chen Xing really wanted to talk to Xiang Shu. Along the way, he always felt that the two were close and said they would part ways completely. Since saying goodbye to Feng Qianjun, Xiang Shu refused to leave. He said he knew each other, but now the two are not familiar with each other.

Chen Xing changed his mind and might take the initiative to say something about himself, which would lead to a few words from Xiang Shu. "I was with Yuwen Xin when I was a child." Chen Xing explained: "Do you know what Kai Meng means? It is enlightenment. We Han people recite the Thousand Character Classic, the world is mysterious and yellow, and the universe is vast and vast. You Hu people don't..." "I am Hu people, I am not a pig." Xiang Shu replied seriously: "In your eyes, are you an idiot who is not a Han person, who is just an idiot who is illiterate but not read, and only eats raw meat?"

Chen Xing had no choice but to say: "When my father was still alive, many people in Jinyang admired him."

If Chen Xing's family was carefully calculated, he was also a descendant of the famous family. Emperor Gaozu was Chen Ping, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty. He made six strange plans to help Liu Bang pacify the world and then became the prime minister. After Lu Zhi died, he even quelled the rebellion of the Lu. In the end, the Chen family was a scholar in all dynasties. When Chen Xing's father was born, he was a great scholar in Jinyang.

Yuwen Xin was eleven years old and delayed his study. His father sent his only son to a private school run by the Chen family to start a civil service. Chen Xing's father, with the idea of ​​being inexperienced, did not treat the Xianbei people differently. Chen Xing learned to read and write articles since he was five years old, so he naturally didn't have to come to school every day. When he was curious about coming to see his father, Yuwen Xin liked Chen Xing very much, held his hand and took him everywhere to play.

After a while, after they got to know each other, Chen Xing took him home. When Chen's father saw that his son was accompanied, he loved the house and asked Yuwen Xin to study at the Chen family. The two spent the best two years of Chen Xing's life together - at that time, both parents were there and grandmother was in good health. Yuwen Xin loved Chen Xing very much and would leave him a copy when he sent things to his home. When he made mistakes in reading and writing articles, Chen Xing also accompanied him in the yard.

The two of them talk together at night...

Chen Xing suddenly felt that Xiang Shu was a little impatient when he heard it, and his whole body exuded a momentum of disturbing trouble at any time.

"Tell me honestly, do you have any grudges with the Yuwen family?" Chen Xing observed Xiang Shu's face, but because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see it clearly, for fear that Xiang Shu would suddenly burst out when he saw something wrong with Yuwen Xin, and would kill him on the spot.

"No." Xiang Shu replied.

At that time, Yuwen Xin also said that he wanted to call Chen Xing as his wife. Although Chen Xingren was young, he knew a lot. He immediately made fun of him. How could a man ask for a wife? Yuwen Xin read the book of sages, but he still retained the wildness of the Five Barbarians. The northern Huli have never been told about the rules of harmony between yin and yang. When he saw a beautiful boy, he would ask for a wife. Whether it was a man or a woman or a close relative, several wives in the family were ordinary. Moreover, he could also help with heavy work, grazing and hunting. When he got married, he sent a few cattle and sheep, took the people home, and set up a tent to perform a ceremony commonly known as "Qinglu Comfort" in it. He worshiped each other. Once the curtain was put on the curtain, he started to go to the room and finished his work.

After hearing this, Chen Xing turned around and sold Yuwen Xin and ran to ask his father if he could marry Yuwen Xin. So the ending was that Yuwen Xing was beaten.

Of course, Chen Xing would not mention the old things again, but when he thought of the friendship between the bamboo horses, he still felt interesting. During the nine years of practicing with Master in Huashan, his master was cold and had no slutty on weekdays. Even before his death, he had little warm feelings. When he was lonely at night, Chen Xing would often think of Yuwen Xin. Such simple youthful love always touched him.

Although Chen Xing could not remember even Yuwen Xin's face, the scene of that man climbing up the treetops in the yard and picking dates for him was often remembered in Chen Xing's heart.

It was almost dusk, and Chen Xing drank a lot of tea and thought, why haven't he come back yet? After going out to ask a few times, the servants sitting outside had changed their lives, and there was no movement at all.

"I don't even know." The servant had never received his money. He was impatient when asked and said, "I don't want to wait, so I'll go back."

Chen Xing began to be bored and walked around the tea room. Xiang Shu sat lazily, lifted up and kicked the tea table. He looked like a man, but he looked like a man with a great world and a man with the greatest barbaric appearance. He played with a dagger in his hand, which was collected from Chen Xing before, and he had already returned the medicine bag on the way.

Chen Xing complained that this family didn't keep him in food. He probably didn't take him seriously. When he was a child, he always treated him warmly.

Suddenly he heard someone shouting not far away, as if he was rumoring that "The master asked to prepare wine."

"Are you back?" Chen Xing said to himself.

"I've been back long ago." Xiang Shu said another rare sentence.

Chen Xing: "You know again? Did you hear it?"

Chen Xing went out of the tea room and said to the servant: "I want to see your master."

"I said it, but I haven't come back." said the servant.

"I heard that I had prepared wine." Chen Xing was about to walk into the main hall, but the servant said, "Hey! Stop for me! How dare you act here?!"

The servant stepped forward and wanted to drag it, but Xiang Shu held two fingers behind him, pinching the back of his neck, his eyes suddenly turned black and he fainted on the ground.

As soon as Chen Xing walked to the main hall, the butler heard the shouting and came over to stop him and said, "Young Master Chen, the master in the mansion has not returned, so why don't you wait for a while? Or go back first and come again tomorrow?"

Chen Xing stopped and said, "He must be back. I heard it all. Go and tell him that Chen Xing is here. Go now."

Xiang Shu was following Chen Xing all the time. The housekeeper looked up at the man wearing a mask, but he was not afraid of Chen Xing. However, this man had unknown origin and seemed to be not a good man. He did not dare to do it. He smiled at Chen Xing patiently and said, "I really didn't come back, you heard it wrong."

Chen Xing pushed him away and shouted: "Brother Xin!"

In the garden behind the corridor, two men were turning around and leaving, and Chen Xing shouted, "Yuwen Xin!" Then he chased after him, Xiang Shu pushed the butler away, and Chen Xing arrived at the throne and shouted, "Yuwen Xin!!"

I saw two young men in the hall, standing one after another, both of whom were in their twenties. The man was wearing a sky-blue robe, with a slender figure, handsome face, clear eyebrows and eyes. The man was wearing a red and red martial robe with a candle embroidered on it. Both of them were looking like Xianbei people, and the man was handing tea to the sitting person.

The two heard Chen Xing shouting and looked at him at the same time.
