One hundred and ninetieth chapters walking on thin ice (twenty-four)

Before the banquet was over, Xu Yao could not resist the enthusiasm of Zhao Zhang and others, so she drank a few drinks. After only a few cups, her cheeks were flushed and her drunken eyes were a little confused. She said she couldn't bear to drink any more.

Seeing this, Tian Buli's godfather couldn't hold on anymore, so he said goodbye to Zhao Zhang and said he wanted to send Xu Yao home. Zhao Xin was already drinking without much fun, and he also used the excuse that there was something at home and said goodbye to Zhao Zhang with Tian Buli.

Zhao Zhang originally wanted to drink to kiss her, but unexpectedly ended up disappointing. He was disappointed and had no choice but to nod. At this time, his heart was all tied to the beauty, but he didn't care much about Zhao Xin, but he nodded absent-mindedly and followed him.

Zhao Xin, led the horses back under the guidance of his servant, went out and met Tian Buli and his daughter. He stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

Tian Buli glanced at Zhao Xin and said with a smile: "General Zhao is going to go back to the palace or to go home."

Zhao Xin smiled and replied, "I have already taken leave today, so I will go home."

"We're going along the way, why not walk together."

Zhao Xin turned over and looked at Xu Yao beside Tian Buli. Although she couldn't see her expression clearly in the darkness, Zhao Xin felt based on her intuition that she seemed to have been looking at her intentionally or unintentionally. So she couldn't refuse, so she bowed her hand to Tian Buli and smiled, "Then let's chat."

"Miss Xu can do horsemanship?" Zhao Xin couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Xu Yao bringing a red horse and getting on the horse with great skill.

"What, should Xu Yao be a delicate and weak woman in General Zhao's eyes?" Xu Yao frowned slightly, her cheeks still had a bit of drunkenness. She turned her head and looked at Zhao Xin with a smile.

Zhao Xin shrugged and said, "This is not, it's just that horse riding is not popular in Qi State, but there are more horse-drawn carriages, so I asked this question, and it was not other than that. Besides, I was drunk, so it was a bit inconvenient."

Xu Yao chuckled with her teeth, "General Zhao forgot that I am a Zhao man, not a Qi man."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "This is my little girl."

He just raised his horse whip and tweaked it lightly, and took a few steps forward. Tian Buli and Xu Yao followed. The leader of the guard who was waiting on the side saw this and bowed and said, "Secret Tian, ​​I will protect the two of you at the order of Anyang Lord."

Tian Buli nodded and said, "It's so laborious."

The three of them rushed out of Anyang Jun Mansion under the escort of the four horsemen and walked slowly on the street. Zhao Xin was not familiar with the two of them, so he naturally had nothing to say, so he pretended to be concentrating on his journey, and the scene was a bit unstoppable.

Tian Buli walked behind the two, but couldn't grasp Xu Yao's thoughts, so he didn't have much trouble. However, when Xu Yao suddenly turned around and looked at him, Tian Buli understood and although he was a little reluctant, he stopped as he wanted.

Zhao Xin noticed something strange behind him, so he stopped and turned around and looked at him, "Is there anything wrong with Tian Xiang?"

Tian Buli touched his body and said with a wry smile, "I am so old that I have forgotten a lot of things. I hurried to the banquet when I went to court today. I put an important memorial on my body and put it in Anyangjun's study. When I went out, I forgot to take it. I will give it to Fei Xiang tomorrow."

The leader of the guard who came with him bowed and said, "It's better to let me accompany Tian Xiang back and get it."

Tian Buli nodded and said, "It's all that can be done." He looked at Xu Yao, who was still drunk, and said with some concern; "It's just that Yao'er should go home early." He said at this time, his eyes looked at Zhao Xin intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, Zhao Xin was unable to stand his face when facing the eyes of everyone, so he had to go forward and smile, "Suce Tian can go back to get things, and I have nothing to do with him, so I will take Miss Xu back home."

Tian Buli said politely, "This will bring you General Zhao."

The leader of the guards beside him said hesitantly, "But the emperor specifically reminded us to send Tian Xiang and Miss Tian to the mansion safely. I don't think we should be divided into two teams. One of us and I will send Tian Xiang back to collect goods, and the other two will send the lady back to the mansion."

Tian Buli laughed and said, "General Zhao is famous for being the best in the three armies in Zhao State. Can you still believe that he can escort Yao'er's Zhouquan?"

The guard knew that Zhao Xin was of high power and did not dare to offend him at the moment. He quickly lowered his head and said he didn't dare. Seeing that Tian Buli insisted on doing this, he didn't say much, so he had to take the other three people to escort Tian Buli back to Anyang Jun Mansion.

Looking at the five people leaving, Zhao Xin withdrew his gaze and reached out to Xu Yao and smiled, "Miss Xu, please."

Xu Yao smiled sweetly, just tilted the reins lightly and walked slowly.

"General Zhao doesn't seem to like me very much."

Zhao Xin replied in surprise, "How could this happen? Just as Anyang Jun said, Miss Xu, how could anyone feel disgusted?"

"I just think you seem to be a little different to me, that's it."

Xu Yao gently pulled the hair scattered on her forehead and said with a smile, "What, General Zhao, did you think I like you?"

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "I can't make such a joke. If Anyang Jun finds out, my little general will die without a place to bury him."

Xu Yao covered her mouth and laughed, jokingly saying, "Is that so? Could General Zhao be so timid? Why did I hear that you have always been known for your courage?"

Zhao Xinyangtian blew up and laughed, "Rumors are all rumors. You must know that I have always been the most timid and cautious..."

When he spoke, his eyes fell on Xu Yao's face. Seeing her shiny eyes staring at her, he couldn't help but be stunned and stood there.

Although it was late at night, the moonlight was bright. The bright moonlight was printed on Xu Yao's snow-white cheeks, and a layer of attractive luster appeared, which made Zhao Xin's gaze sink deeply. After a while, he said a little embarrassedly, "Are you drunk?"

"Natural." A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yao's mouth.

"You forgot what I do. If I get drunk so easily, then how can I protect myself? How can I still be safe and sound?"

"Then why are you..." Zhao Xin asked strangely.

"Why pretend to be drunk?" Xu Yao said in a calm tone.

"Anyang Jun is not a kind man and a trustworthy woman. The other doctors are all birds of a feather. Instead of taking advantage of them, it is better to find an excuse to escape first."

Looking up, Zhao Xin was staring at him. When Zhao Xin saw that she had discovered her face, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "For some reason, I always feel that Miss Xu looks familiar and seems to have seen her somewhere."

"Did we know each other before?"

Xu Yao felt a stern, realizing that his excessive attention to Zhao Xin today had aroused his alertness.

You should know that they had a relationship with each other before. Although they were not really in person at that time, their appearance could be changed, but their eyes and temperament were ultimately traceable. I think Zhao Xin was as careful as he could see, and finally he could feel a sense of familiarity from himself, but he didn't expect that he was the orphan girl who had pleaded for mercy in Sima Xi's mansion.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao deliberately frowned and said with a cold expression; "I thought General Zhao was a gentleman, but I didn't expect that he was as frivolous as other disciples. Can you change to a fresher excuse?"

Zhao Xin didn't think about it anymore after she said this, so he had to explain, "Miss Xu misunderstood, this... I really don't know where to explain this. Maybe I feel it's wrong." As he said that, he felt a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and walked slowly with the mount under his crotch.

Seeing that he looked a little embarrassed, Xu Yao felt it interesting in her heart, and smiled sweetly, "General Zhao, don't be nervous, I'm just making a joke."

"Compared with those hypocritical hypocrites, you think you are a good person."

Xu Yao just said it casually, but it fell into Zhao Xin's ears and misunderstood it into other meanings. She thought she was talking about the powerful and bullied her with power, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. She paused and asked, "Miss Xu, how old are you from Linzi? How could you join Feng Fei's disciple?"

"At the age of five, I had no impression of Zhao State at that time. My parents lived in poverty and sent me to the art hall as a maid. Only then did I have the luck to meet my master. Seeing that I was talented, she made an exception to join me to the subordinates." Xu Yao didn't even think about it, just spoke nonsense.

In fact, she would not really join Feng Fei’s disciple. Although her family had fallen, her adoptive father Xu Ran, as a senior doctor in Qi, was highly appreciated by Mengchangjun, so her life since childhood would not be bad. She had learned sword dance from Feng Fei, but she was just interested, so she naturally would not derogate herself from performing to cheer others up.

Seeing that she was talking about something with eyes and eyes, Zhao Xin didn't doubt it, but just nodded. After pondering for a while, he said, "Miss Xu, you are naturally beautiful and extremely smart. Do you only want to make a living by dancing skills and have never thought of other ways out?"

When Xu Yao heard that Zhao Xin’s words meant to persuade her to “be good”, she was both angry and funny, so she pretended to be unhappy and replied indifferently; “Everyone has his own idea of ​​pursuing. In the eyes of General Zhao, what she pursues is success, fame and status as a great minister; but in Xu Yao’s eyes, being able to combine great achievements like a master and being able to move into Jixia Academy to become a great master is Xu Yao’s wish.”

Zhao Xin was pushed back by her neither soft nor hard, and she was not angry, but just laughed, "Miss Zhao is right, it's me Meng Lang." He was a little suspicious of Xu Yao's identity, but now seeing Xu Yao's expression is not fake, he has already believed in his heart.

"If a girl is bullied in Handan, you can come to me. Although I, Zhao Xin, are careless, still have some face and means, and maybe I can help you."

Seeing that he was kind, Xu Yao said softly, and said softly, "Thank you so much General Zhao."
