Chapter 23 023
Cheng Xiezhi was shamefully moved.
In his heart, he firmly believed that it was because Ji Lang was too good at playing tricks on people's hearts, not because he couldn't resist the temptation of a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy.
Cheng Xiezhi pursed his lower lip, and Ji Lang spread his palms in front of him with a smile. The aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus candy leaked from the oiled paper bag, eroding his sense of smell.Cheng Xiezhi leaned over and quickly touched his face, and it fell apart with the touch, like a soft feather brushing lightly. At the same time, he reached for the osmanthus candy in Ji Lang's palm. His fingertips had just covered Ji Lang's face. The palm of the hand was grabbed by the backhand.
Ji Lang's timing was just right, he just stopped Cheng Xiezhi's movement to slide out, and pulled the person into his arms, taking advantage of the situation to confine him in his arms, his other hand slowly lifted Cheng Xiezhi's body The movement of the lower jaw is gentle and intimate but has an irresistible force. Cheng Xiezhi opened his eyes and whimpered innocently, his stiff and tense body relaxed slightly, which was a gesture of showing weakness.
Ji Lang smiled: "Xiezhi, don't pretend to be pitiful." His voice mixed with warm breath rang softly in Cheng Xiezhi's ear: "Your appearance will only make me want to do something more."
There was a slight smile at the end of his words, Cheng Xiezhi slowly closed the innocent look in his eyes, and softly snorted: "Let go."
"Xiezhi, the exchange is not like you do."
Ji Lang leaned down slowly, her soft lips were crushed wantonly, her movements were gentle but turbulent, without leaving any room.
Cheng Xiezhi was forced to tilt his head up slightly, and his breathing was also seized. The strength of the opponent's hand on his chin was slightly increased, leaving a striking bright red mark on his snow-white skin.He squeezed out a sob from his throat, this time it was really pitiful and innocent.
Then that bit of sound was swallowed.
……
It took a long time for Cheng Xiezhi to struggle out of this position. The sweet-scented osmanthus candy he was holding was slightly deformed. Ji Lang laughed softly, brushing his fingers over his lips, Cheng Xiezhi frowned and knocked off his hand. : "You have to make up for my sweet-scented osmanthus candy."
Ji Lang grabbed his hand, interlocked his fingers, and said indulgently, "Okay."
Cheng Xiezhi was satisfied, and decided not to care about his excessive behavior just now.
His little partner system is also very satisfied with the current situation: "The progress of the energy bar has increased!" The system voice rose cheerfully.
"Host, if you sleep on him, maybe the progress bar will be full—anyway, it's no different from sleeping now."
Cheng Xiezhi looked at the elongated energy progress bar on the panel, and thought of how hard he had worked so hard to find medicine for Ji Lang in exchange for the thin luck value, and instantly felt that he could actually care about it.
Ji Lang noticed his unhappiness, and didn't know why his mood fell instantly. He asked calmly, "Aside from sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, what else do you want? The chestnut powder cake made by the small kitchen recently is also good."
"Then make one and try it." Cheng Xiezhi replied reservedly.
"Well, I'll tell them right away." Ji Lang replied in a low voice.
Making chestnut cakes in the small kitchen requires a lot of work. Cheng Xiezhi rubbed his jaw, which was slightly sore from Ji Lang's pinching, and slipped out during this time.
Sikong Mingyao and the people under Ji Lang's subordinates did not know what they discussed. In short, he must have paid a considerable price to allow himself and Feng Qinghan to leave smoothly.The King of Qi will definitely not care about their lives. Although Sikong Mingyao is the son of King Qi, he is not the only one, and it is not that important.What's more, the King of Qi could never admit that he sent people to chase and kill Ji Lang - such an approach was obviously against morality, and would be condemned by the people of the world, besieged and attacked.
In other words, when Sikong Mingyao failed, he had already become an abandoned pawn.
Before leaving, Feng Qinghan proposed to see Cheng Xie, but Cheng Xie refused.
"It's not necessary. I don't like dealing with people who want to kill me." He smiled and refused lightly.
Feng Qinghan was held by Sikong Mingyao, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard what the speaker told him.Of course she wanted to go back to modern times, but she was afraid to go back.Compared with the modern age, which has become unfamiliar, she has gradually gotten used to the life in ancient times. Apart from not having all kinds of entertainment equipment, the life she enjoys as the prime minister's daughter is not much worse than what she enjoyed in modern times.This kind of thinking made her not want to go back to modern times so much. After all, her parents and relatives have passed away, so it seems that there is not much meaning in going back.But when Cheng Xiezhi brought it up, she couldn't help but agree - after all, that was her era.
When she promised King Qi to report the news, she didn't hesitate, but King Qi repeatedly asked her, what can she do as a weak and unarmed woman?She thought that since Cheng Xiezhi dared to provoke King Qi face to face, he must be prepared to be retaliated against.If it wasn't for Cheng Xiezhi himself, how could such a thing happen?It's only natural for Cheng Xie to blame her, but why wouldn't he even listen to her explanation?Feng Qinghan bit her lip, thinking that when she was locked up, Cheng Xiezhi was clearly present but refused to speak out to save her, and it was Sikong Mingyao who saved her in exchange for his long-running information network.When she thought about it this way, she felt that she didn't owe Cheng Xiezhi anything, and any apology disappeared.
She tidied up her emotions and forced a smile: "I see."
Sikong Mingyao gently tugged at her sleeve: "Let's go."
Feng Qinghan regained consciousness, smiled at Sikong Mingyao, and pushed his wheelchair away.No matter what happened to Cheng Xiezhi, at least this time she got a blessing in disguise and realized the sincerity of the person around her.
She felt much better.
……
Cheng Xiezhi slowly bit the chestnut flour cake, the soft and sweet pastry melted in his mouth, thinking about something in his mind: "Where is that child who left with your people before?"
Ji Lang paused, and after a while, he remembered that Cheng Xiezhi was referring to the little soldier whom he had tricked him into thinking that he had been poisoned by some kind of poison and that there were worms crawling in his stomach.He still remembered the ending of this man: "The king of Qi was defeated, and when the soldiers fled, he was killed by the king's men by mistake."
Cheng Xiezhi put down his hand holding the pastry, and suddenly felt that these exquisite meals were tasteless, he slapped his eyelashes lightly, and the pastry was put back on the plate: "So I don't like troubled times."
Rather be a dog of peace than a chaotic person.This statement is still true in the era of Cheng Xiezhi. When he was young, the empire expanded to the extreme. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was militaristic. Even the most prosperous imperial capital will inevitably be branded by war.He had witnessed the annihilation of planets and the destruction of civilizations, and he never liked the idea of "expanding territories" promoted by the Imperial Army.
Although he is not a peace lover.
Ji Lang walked up to him and looked at him gently and quietly: "I will end the troubled times. I hope that I can let you see the world you want to see."
Lively, peaceful, prosperous and peaceful.
Cheng Xiezhi tilted his head, "Although I know that the idea of ending the troubled times comes more from your ambition, but I have to admit that your teaching has succeeded a little bit."
— the teaching on how to love you.
Ji Lang held his hand and smiled.
……
On the third day after Cheng Xiezhi came back, Ji Lang finally succeeded in making his relationship with Cheng Xiezhi known to all his subordinates.The system looked at the progress bar that had moved forward by one section, and felt happy and sad: "Host, do you want to stay?"
It also remembered that the host had vowed that he would never stay in this world for long.But its host somehow got together with Ji Lang, which made the system start to worry about whether the host would really like Ji Lang—the two of them were not even from the same time and space.
"Why did you stay?" Cheng Xiezhi asked in confusion.
"Then we can leave after a while." The system didn't know whether it was disappointment or happiness, but suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, "Let me see if there are any space-time coordinates nearby where I can jump, and then there is no need to waste time."
"That's not in a hurry." Cheng Xiezhi thought for a while and said, "Feng Qinghan hasn't made any progress." She didn't say clearly that she didn't want to go back to modern times, and Cheng Xiezhi didn't want to break the deal because of this.
The system thought to itself: You don't care about Feng Qinghan at all, you only care about Ji Lang's sweet-scented osmanthus candy, it's strange that you can make any progress.
But as a qualified system, it decided to save face for the host, and responded with a very calm "oh".
Cheng Xiezhi didn't know if he could hear the infinite meaning of the "oh", he walked around in front of Ji Lang's study on wooden clogs, and bumped into Mr. Ning who came to report something important.
This old man who is over half a century old has very complicated feelings towards Cheng Xiezhi, and regardless of his unknown origin and treacherous skills, just such a coquettish and coquettish character who is indulged by Ji Lang, Mr. Ning is very impressed. He has opinions.But on the other hand, the appearance of Cheng Xiezhi made Mr. Ning also heave a sigh of relief—at least his lord is not really desperate and ready to become a monk.
Another thing is that Mr. Ning always has an indescribable sense of guilt when facing Cheng Xiezhi.Therefore, he intentionally avoided Cheng Xiezhi during this period of time.
Did not expect to meet.
Cheng Xiezhi greeted him with a smile, "I heard that the outside world is not very peaceful recently. It is rumored that Ji Lang is going to fight King Qi?"
This rumor is not groundless. Ji Lang had arrested Sikong Mingyao and Xihaihou Shizi earlier, and in their name, he had someone write a call to action, to the effect that he was kind enough to celebrate King Qi's birthday. Unexpectedly, King Qi not only humiliated him face-to-face at the banquet, but also later He also teamed up with Xihaihou to send people to hunt him down - the corpses of King Qi's army and the living son of Xihaihou left at the scene are the evidence.Since King Qi is so unkind and unrighteous, he can't take this anger in vain, so he intends to seek justice for himself.
This is nothing to seek justice, it is clearly a legitimate reason to go to war.
Mr. Ning's eyelids twitched, and he cupped his hands at Cheng Xiezhi: "If you are interested, you can ask the lord. After all, everything is up to the lord's wishes."
Cheng Xiezhi smiled and let him in without embarrassing him.
Mr. Ning entered the study room, first reported the movements of various parties, and then mentioned that several princes offered to form an alliance with Ji Lang.Ji Lang pondered for a moment, "Has there been any movement in Qi Di recently?"
Mr. Ning tidied up his wording: "After Sikong Mingyao went back, he kept moving in secret. According to our eyeliner in the Palace of Qi, how long will King Qi's health be unable to hold on, probably in these few months. Besides, I also inquired about a very interesting thing about Sikong Mingyao."
"Oh?" Ji Lang Zhubi circled the notebook and asked casually.
"I heard that Sikong Mingyao has a sorcerer who is good at divination and fortune-telling. As soon as he saw Feng Qinghan, he asserted to Sikong Mingyao that Feng Qinghan was born with a phoenix destiny, and only the Lord of the World can match him. It was he who tried his best to persuade Sikong Mingyao Marry Feng Qinghan."
"I see." Ji Lang put down his pen, smiling, "Could it be that Mr. Ning also believes in this illusory theory of fate?"
"Of course my subordinates don't believe it." Mr. Ning replied respectfully, "but my subordinates firmly believe that people should let nature take its course and not insist on forcing everything."
The smile in Ji Lang's eyes disappeared, and his voice was cold and deep: "What do you want to say?"
Mr. Ning's tone was still steady: "Young Master Cheng has a peerless appearance, and it makes people yearn for him. But the identity of Young Master Cheng is unknown—my lord should also know that such a person is definitely not something that can be raised by an ordinary family. I know that my lord is very fond of Cheng The son wishes, but when the lord enters the imperial capital in the future, can he still appoint a man as the queen?"
Regardless of Ji Lang's terribly dark face, he continued to say word by word: "Besides, if the lord and Mr. Cheng are in love with each other, then you will not be afraid of difficulties and obstacles, but when you see Mr. Cheng, you will know that he treats you His heart is clearly different from your heart towards him. Why do you bother to force me, my lord?"
"In addition, if Mr. Cheng knew that you two were surrounded by fire in the mountains that day, you deliberately set up a situation-my lord, you already knew that King Qi wanted to kill you two. Instead of stopping you, you asked our army to slow down. Although I don't know what happened in the forest that day, Cheng Xiezhi's attitude towards you changed after that day."
"Even though my lord can get what he wants for a while now, but his schedule son knows that everything was set up by you, how will you deal with yourself then?"
