Hongdi

Chapter 168

Bei Yaofei let out a long sigh, regretting the stupid question he asked just now.

'Xunxiang', a special spice, was widely used on the slaves of the Xi Kingdom, so that slave owners could find escaped slaves.And the scent that the snow lotus caught his attention just now is the most precious one among the 'Xunxiang'.Because this kind of "Xunxiang" can only be used by the royal family, he didn't have much contact with it, so he didn't think about it. Instead, he asked her if she had already stripped it.

The person who captured the snow lotus has already followed the smell left by "Xunxiang".Bei Yaofei immediately felt the aura of his fellow clansmen, and before everyone could react, the snow lotus had already fallen into the hands of others.Bei Yaofei looked at the people standing at the door, and sighed again, he couldn't save this woman.

"Let go of the snow lotus!" Zhou Xiaoshu yelled, picked up the ax on the pile of firewood, and rushed over.

"Hua Xi, show mercy!" Bei Yaofei immediately shouted.

The purple silk sash that was attacking Zhou Xiaoshu's face suddenly stopped, changed direction instantly, and swept across Zhou Xiaoshu's waist.Zhou Xiaoshu screamed, and fell on the pile of firewood.Zhou's mother heard her son's screams, looked for the sound, and rushed over in a panic while muttering "Is your son okay?"

Cook Xiao subconsciously protected Ling Yan behind her, and looked at the visitor vigilantly.This person was of the same family as Bei Yaofei, and he also had black hair and silver gray eyes.But compared to Bei Yaofei's stern face, his face is much softer.Two thick sword eyebrows flew into the temples, his thick lips were red with a slight purple, and a purple jade pendant was hung on his ingot-shaped ear, which complemented his purple clothes, and there was a trace of evil charm in him. proudly.But these are not too conspicuous. The most conspicuous thing is a purple patterned python wrapped around his neck, with its tail dragging on the ground and its head resting on his shoulders.The giant python spit out a blood-red letter, looking at all this with great interest.

Bei Yaofei tried his best to pull out an affectionate smile, and said to the people who came over: "Hey, Hua Xi, long time no see."

"Well, we haven't seen each other for a long time, cousin." There was an intriguing smile in Bei Huaxi's cold eyes, he said, leaning down to catch Bei Yaofei's veins, "It hurts very much .Who did it? Shall I kill him for you?"

"Ahem..." Bei Yaofei coughed violently, he is very glad that Yuxun is not around, because he can almost imagine what this person will say next, as expected, he was sitting by the bamboo couch, his tone softened Many, affectionately looking at Bei Yaofei who kept dodging, said: "Cousin, you are the marriage contracted by the elders of the clan, you have suffered such serious injuries, how could I let you go? "

"Ahem..." There was another violent cough, Bei Yaofei looked at his black pupils that had turned into a line, and rolled his eyes helplessly, "I made it very clear when I went back four years ago, you and I It’s brother, don’t mention that matter again.”

Bei Huaxi gently stroked Bei Yaofei's cotton-wrapped fingers, his eyes full of distress, "Cousin still likes to play tricks so much." As he said, he tightened his hands without changing his face.Bei Yaofei only felt a piercing pain that almost made him faint.

Ling Yanxiu stepped forward and grabbed Bei Huaxi, anxiously said: "Who the hell are you, let Xiao Fei go!"

Seeing that its owner was being attacked, the giant python suddenly turned its head and rushed straight at Ling Yanxiu. Ling Yanxiu threw out the soft whip from his waist in an instant. The giant python couldn't dodge in time. rushed over.Cook Xiao was shocked, and directly pulled him behind.

Bei Yaofei couldn't care about the pain on his hand, raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Hua Xi, if you hurt them, I will never talk to you again in this life!"

Bei Huaxi was taken aback for a moment, and then slightly grabbed the snake's belly, and the giant python obediently lay back on his shoulder, but the blood-red letter was still spitting in the direction of Ling Yanxiu.Only then did Cook Xiao let go of Ling Yanxiu's arm, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bei Huaxi said to Bei Yaofei as if no one was watching: "Cousin, have you been away from home for 16 years?"

Bei Yaofei nodded, "I don't want to go back, and don't tell the elders what happened today."

Bei Huaxi didn't answer the question, and continued on his own: "If you don't come back, wouldn't it be fine? Everyone will think you are dead. But you went back four years ago, and then Because I failed to keep you, I was laughed at by people in the clan for four years!"

Bei Yaofei bit his lower lip, resisting the sharp pain from his fingers, and he recovered after a while, but his voice became hoarse unconsciously, "I didn't want to send You Tan back. Besides, they What are you doing joking, if you want to laugh, you are laughing at me for not doing my job properly."

"Dare you say it?"

The finger that Bei Yaofei had just connected broke again a few days ago, and the pain hit him, he frowned and passed out.Now Bei Huaxi panicked, she just wanted to rub his spirits, but she didn't expect him to faint.Just as Ling Yanxiu was about to move forward, he felt a blur in front of his eyes. Bei Huaxi got out three silver needles out of nowhere, and quickly aimed at several acupuncture points and pierced them.Looking at the person who woke up from Yoyo, Bei Huaxi's icy eyes burst into a layer of moisture, "Cousin, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm going to attack harder."

Bei Yaofei sighed and shook his head, "I'm fine. Did you come here to catch that palace slave?"

"Yeah. The king was very angry and said that he had to take him back for an explanation of life and death."

"Then you take her away."

"What about you? Will you go back with me?" Bei Huaxi couldn't help but have a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

"I made it clear four years ago. I don't want to go back. I'm sorry to let them laugh at you. But our marriage is just an agreement between our parents. Now the elders of both you and me are no longer, forget it."

Bei Huaxi froze for a moment, then slowly got up, "Is it for the prince named Hong Yuxun?"

Bei Yaofei remained silent.

"Cousin, I advise you to stay away from him. His life has been determined by the king. No one can take it away. If you follow him, it will only be a dream."

Cook Xiao frowned and stared at this domineering man, thought for a while, and cupped his fists respectfully, "Dare to ask this hero, what did you mean when you said that His Royal Highness's life was ordered by King Xi?"

Bei Huaxi glanced at him, walked straight towards Ling Yanxiu without saying a word.

Ling Yanxiu held the soft whip vigilantly, "Why don't you understand etiquette at all? Didn't you hear someone ask you?"

"Cousin, who is this woman to you?"

Bei Yaofei was already disturbed by what he said just now, hearing his question, he casually said: "My sister."

"That's it. Then I'll give you a piece of advice." Bei Huaxi looked back at the absent-minded person who was frowning quietly on the bed, and said again: "Don't let the witch clan other than me see her, otherwise, she will be a The king's seventh servant."

Bei Yaofei suddenly raised his head, and suddenly smiled, "These palace slaves were all brought into the palace by the king because of the same woman, right? Who is that woman?"

"You should know, right? It's the woman who Hongguo paid tribute to over twenty years ago."

"Is it called He Shuang?"

Bei Huaxi smiled indifferently, "I don't know about this. Maybe Bai Meng knows. If you go back, maybe you can ask her."

"Bai Meng? Is it the current national teacher?"

Bei Huaxi nodded, "Cousin, since you are interested in that concubine, why don't you go back with me? Besides, with my medical skills, you will get better care, what do you think?"

Before Bei Yaofei could speak, he heard a burst of hearty laughter from the door.Yu Xun carried a big bag and a small bag, and supported an old man with a white beard who was shaking his head with a smile, and walked in saunteringly.

Yu Xun was taken aback for a moment, then briefly glanced at the situation in the yard, and said with a smile: "Yo, there are guests at home, it's a pleasure to meet you." He said, and he put the things in his hand on the table in the corner of the yard , said to the old man: "Mr. He, or you can show brother Xiaoshu first."

The old man surnamed He nodded, walked up to Zhou Xiaoshu who was lying unconscious on the ground, and began to examine carefully.Zhou Xiaoshu's mother heard that Yuxun had come back, and cried out, "Your Excellency, you have come back. You don't know, a stranger came, he was very fierce, he robbed the snow lotus, and even injured Xiaoshu. You have to call the shots for us."

Yu Xun smiled gently, stepped forward to help Zhou's mother, and comforted her: "Don't worry, old man, I have invited the best doctor in the city, brother Xiaoshu will be fine. It's too chaotic outside, why don't you go back to the house first ?”

"Hey, good." Mother Zhou said, going to hug her son.Yu Xun yelled to the outside, and immediately two people dressed as peasants came in and helped Zhou's mother and He Langzhong carry Zhou Xiaoshu into the house.

Yu Xun cheered at the purple-clothed man, and said affectionately, half-truthfully, "Are you Beibei's friend? Let's stay and have lunch together, and I'll cook right away."

Bei Huaxi looked at him coldly, and said after a while, "Are you Hong Yuxun?"

Yu Xun rolled his big, weird eyes and nodded, "Yes, you are?"

"Bei Yaofei's fiancé, Bei Huaxi."

Yu Xun was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes, and asked curiously: "Let me take the liberty to ask, are you a woman?"

"Are you blind? You can't even tell the difference between a man and a woman! Marriage between men is very common among the nobles of the Xi Kingdom. My cousin and I have been married since we were young, and gender issues are not involved."

"Oh, that's it..." Yu Xun blinked, "Then why didn't you come to Hongguo to find a husband, or why didn't he go back to Xiguo to find a wife?"

"No one is allowed to enter or leave the country without the order of the king."

"Then Beibei is now your court's aggression?" Yu Xun said, frowning seriously.

"No. Cousin's household registration has been destroyed 16 years ago. No one except the clan knows that he is still alive." Bei Huaxi said, with a look of sadness on his face.

"If that's the case, isn't your marriage contract with him a marriage contract with a dead man? Is there any need to get entangled? Besides, even if you bring him back to marry you, the king of Xi Kingdom will probably treat Bei Bei Is it the crime of escaping from the country of Xi without permission? What will we do then?"

"These are not problems at all. As long as my cousin is willing, he can restore his household registration at any time, become the master pharmacist in the clan, and take charge of the Bei clan! Right, cousin?" Bei Huaxi said, staring at Bei Yaofei fiercely, Expectation, unwillingness, grievance, grief and indignation, too many emotions kept flowing in his eyes, as if they would pour out in the next moment.

Bei Yaofei avoided his probing eyes, looked at Yu Xun who was a distance away from them, and said anxiously, "Xun, when I returned to Xi Kingdom four years ago, my engagement was already broken."

"Cousin, the elders didn't agree to what happened back then, you left without authorization!" Bei Huaxi's resentful eyes forced Bei Yaofei to choke.

"Hua Xi, stop messing around. I can't go back with you. I don't want to go back!"

"You'll go back sooner or later!" Bei Huaxi gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, "Even for this Hong Yuxun, you have to go back!"

Yu Xun tried his best to keep his head up with the thoughts of these two people, while quietly taking a few steps back, leaning against the wall to cover up his trembling legs.God knows how afraid he is of the thing wrapped around Bei Huaxi's neck, but in front of a strong enemy, he can't show any weakness...
