Chapter 860 Chapter 860 Private meeting in the dark night
As soon as my steps stopped, I saw Liu Qinghan put on a thin long gown and walked out of the room.?
The moon is as bright as water.
His thin face seemed much warmer under the moonlight, and even his unfathomable eyes became clear. When he looked at the sky in black and white, it seemed that the moonlight was slowly flowing in his eyes.
So late, what did he do when he goes out? Do you appreciate the moonlight?
I was thinking about it, but I saw him leave with a very light pace without looking back.
My heart suddenly hangs.
This is Longnan City.
What should he do when he goes out so late? And judging from his actions just now, it doesn't seem to be "open and upright". Does he have any other purpose?
I came here with him. To put it nicely, it was a guest, to put it bluntly, it was going deep into the tiger's den, but going deep into the tiger's den ultimately refers to me. What's more, there is a "rebel" Pei Yuanxiu waiting outside the city. No matter what kind of past Liu Qinghan and I have, he has forgotten it. From his cold-eyed attitude during the day, I understood that he finally regarded me as an outsider. Now, he and Tu Shuhan are both officials of the court, once--
Thinking of this, I immediately followed.
The moonlight was clear and it was always faintly shining on the person in front of me. I followed him from afar. As expected, he was not doing anything "openly". On the way, when a maid passed by, he tried to hide in a dark place to avoid meeting people. When he saw his actions like this, I realized something was wrong. And as he watched him walk faster and faster, his pace became tighter and tighter.
Just as I walked past a corridor in front, I just climbed the stairs and saw him stop and standing in the middle of the corridor.
I hurriedly retracted my steps and carefully poked my head out.
In the empty, dark corridor, there were only a few windows open, and the moonlight came in from outside. He stood in front of a window and was looking outside, his eyes were distant but focused.
What is he looking at?
Just as I held my breath and peeked at this moment, he suddenly looked at me. I was startled and shrank back.
The corridor was very quiet, and even my heartbeat was so obvious. A gust of wind brought the fishy smell of sand and deeper silence, but there was no rest at all.
Did he see me?
What should I say if he saw me following him?
Just as I was thinking anxiously, his footsteps sounded again on the corridor, but it slowly became farther away.
He left again.
I carefully poked my head out and saw a corner of his thin long gown floating slightly disappeared at the end of the dark corridor.
I hurriedly followed again.
The floor made of wooden boards made of slight creaking sounds as soon as I walked up. Although I tried my best to lighten my steps, in such a quiet environment, the sound seemed to be getting louder and louder. I was so scared that I walked, but I stopped when I walked to a window.
It was the window that Liu Qinghan stopped and looked out just now.
And I just realized that it was the window I had seen when I was taken to bath during the day.
At this time, the sky was already very dark, and I could hardly see my fingers. The already gray half city was quieter, with no light or a trace of sound. The moonlight shone on those cold and quiet houses, giving people a more like a clay sculpture picture. Although lifelike, it was quiet and silent.
What was he looking at just now?
What's worth seeing in such a dark night view?
What is he doing when he comes out so late?
Is there really something hidden?
These doubts surged into my heart one by one. The more I felt something was wrong. I turned to look at the darkness that had swallowed his back and hurriedly followed.
Just as I had just walked to the end of the corridor and was about to turn around and follow me, suddenly, a hand stretched out in the darkness and grabbed me suddenly!
The sudden attack scared me almost screamed, but my other hand covered my mouth faster. I was pulled around and my back hit the cold and hard wall with a thump.
At that moment, I felt like I had a star.
In the darkness, a hot and strong body pressed against my body with force, pressing me tightly against the wall and unable to move, and the heavy breath also sounded in my ears: "Why are you following me?!"
I calmed down and finally saw the person in front of me clearly. He finally saw me clearly through the moonlight. Both of them froze-
"It's you?"
"you?"
Liu Qinghan obviously didn't expect to "meet" me, and his face was full of surprise and shock: "You - why are you -"
My heart beat violently, hitting my chest, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, as if it was about to break my body, and he seemed to feel it, under the dark light, his dark cheeks suddenly turned red, and his unconcealed panic expression filled his dark face. His face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly supported himself and left my body.
The coldness of the border town suddenly came, making me tremble.
The breathing of the two people seemed particularly clear in such a quiet night.
He was silent for a long time, and finally calmed down his heartbeat and disordered breathing. A cold light in his eyes oozed: "What are you doing with me?"
I finally took a breath in his palm, and my heart was beating hard: "Where are you?"
"What?"
"What are you doing when you come out so late?"
His brows frowned even more: "Are you following me?"
"..." He only left my body, but forgot to let go of the hand covering my mouth. My lips were still rubbing his rough palm, and his breath was messy.
"Why are you following me?"
I took a deep breath and slowly raised my hand. He saw the small medicine bottle in my hand at a glance. He took it in confusion, opened the bottle plug and sniffed, and was stunned.
I leaned against the cold and hard wall and looked at him indifferently.
...
This time, it was still quiet, but there was nothing to say.
His breath was messy, but he became embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Madam, I--"
"Mr. Liu," I interrupted him: "I am forgiving. I am now on the same boat. I am here with you. I am the one who takes risks to Longnan City, not the one who is taking the risk. If anything happens, I think that out of mutual sincerity, the adult should at least give me a call first. Wouldn't it?"
I don’t know if it was because the alcohol rash became worse or why, after hearing what I said, his face turned red again, he pinched the small bottle embarrassedly and said, “Mrs.’s words are reasonable, it’s because he was negligent.”
"Then sir, can you tell me why you came out alone so late?"
“…”
He didn't speak, but the gap between his eyebrows became significantly deepened.
"Mr. Liu, is there any hidden secrets? Or is there really something unfavorable to me?"
He looked up at me, his eyes were very complicated, and after thinking for a long time, he finally lowered his voice and said, "This is not a place to speak. Madam, let's go back first."
After saying this, he almost subconsciously reached over to grab my wrist, but before he could touch me, a cold voice came from the side—
"It's so late, what else do you have to say?"
The sudden sound scared both of us. I almost bounced up from the wall. When I turned around, I saw Tu Shuhan's deep contour slowly emerged in the dark light in the middle.
When Liu Qinghan and I saw him, our hearts immediately rose.
"General."
“…”
Tu Shuhan did not speak this time, but walked slowly to us with his hands behind his back. He looked us up and down for a long time before slowly saying: "Has the banquet not been enjoying the whole time before? You two have to secretly come out for a private meeting?"
Liu Qinghan and I looked at each other. In fact, they were all old foxes in the officialdom and the fame and fortune world, but they were all hoarse. His face was even red due to the alcohol rash.
"Mr. Liu," Tu Shuhan turned to him again: "During the daytime, Lord Liu still looks deep in love when he talks about the eldest princess. Why did he look at me in a blink of an eye? He looked at me with a few more frivolous words: "If these words are sent back to the capital, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will be unhappy?"
Liu Qinghan coughed and said, "General, you misunderstood."
"There are many kinds of misunderstandings, but what are the misunderstandings that you have seen with your own eyes?"
“…”
"Is it possible-" As soon as he stopped, his eyes suddenly became sharp: "You two came out in the middle of the night, why didn't you go to explore my Longnan City?"
I originally thought this was just a joke, but Liu Qinghan's eyes suddenly flashed.
…!
I immediately realized something.
He came out so late, not looking for Tu Shuhan, or it had nothing to do with the matter discussed during the day. So what exactly he was going to do?
Could it be that as Tu Shuhan said, what should I explore in Longnan City?
Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at him, but saw that he was silent for a while, and finally said, "General."
"Um?"
He slowly raised his head and looked at Tu Shuhan with a bright look: "The General should know that many things are not necessary to dig into the roots of the problem. It is better to do it clearly. Sometimes, it may not be a good thing to figure it out."
"oh?"
"Besides—" A curve slowly evoked on the corner of his mouth: "The relationship between the court and China is already complicated, sometimes it prospers and loses all the losses."
“…”
"What I do outside is naturally something outside. If any news comes to the capital and let His Majesty know, the affairs of the eldest princess and me will not be accomplished, but will this bring any benefits to the general?"
When I heard his words, my heart suddenly sank.
