The guard got closer and closer, and after another six or seven steps, he reached the place where the two took refuge.
Xiao Yuan knew in his heart that with such a distance, they would have no chance to hide in a new place, and escape would be impossible. He quickly judged the current situation and decided to show up alone.
He planned to use himself as bait. After he went out, he would first reveal his identity and then make up an excuse to take the guards away from here, in order to keep his promise.
After all, he is a man with a bad reputation to begin with, and he doesn't care about adding more tarnish to it.
What's more, he has lived in Bianjing for a long time. If he is caught by the guards, his grandfather or Liu Defi will help him. Excuses and reasons are not too difficult to find. At most, he will be poked in the back a few times by the world.
The promise was different. As a virgin who entered the palace for the first time, she stayed in the house uneasily but ran out. If the patrolling guards found her here with the man, she...
After all, not every noble girl has the opportunity to enter the palace. If such a scandal occurs when entering the palace, she will definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed, and she will also be criticized when going out to attend banquets.
Out of such considerations, Xiao Yuan was preparing to go out, and it was by no means a sudden thought.
But he didn't expect Xu Nuo to understand what he was going to do in an instant and hold him in his arms to prevent him from going out.
The slender and soft arms seemed to have endless power. He was not allowed to move, and they were just wrapped around his waist.
It was the first time in Xiao Yuan's life that he had such close contact with a woman, even though Xu Nuo was still a young lady.
In the eyes of people in the capital, Xiao Yuan is a playboy. He goes to brothels all day long to listen to music and watch dances. He is careless and romantic. Eating, drinking and having fun is his real job. But these behaviors are just a mask to hide his true state. .
Under the mask, it can be said that he has been among thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf has touched him.
In the words of Zhu Shang. Simply clean and tidy.
In Xu Nuo's eyes, Xiao Yuan had nothing to do with the word "keep one's integrity". She thought he wouldn't mind her actions, so she hugged him without hesitation.
After all, it is the woman who seems to be at the disadvantage in this situation, and she does not care about letting go of the so-called defense between men and women at such a critical moment, not to mention that she is a twenty-four-year-old modern adult at heart.
Although Xiao Yuan didn't mind being hugged by Xu Nuo, he was very nervous and his whole body was in a state of tension. Tight. As for that handsome face, it's already red enough to cook hot pot.
Just now, there was Xu Nuo's arms between them, but now they are directly touching each other. Fortunately, Xu Nuo hasn't developed much yet. Otherwise, Xiao Yuan would really be fuming.
Xu Nuo frowned and listened to the movement not far away. After thinking about it carefully, he found that he had no protective equipment on his body and there was nothing available nearby. He couldn't help but feel regretful.
Because he has to enter the palace to meet the saint. She didn't bring the dagger she used to carry with her at all.
Since there are no weapons, we can only rely on our hands and feet.
After all, the promise comes from time travel. He kept thinking about how to resist, but had no intention of obeying the emperor's power.
She did not realize at all that in a place like the palace, even if she was highly skilled in martial arts, she would not have a chance to escape when she encountered a group of patrolling guards, because there were more people nearby. It's only a matter of time before you catch someone new to the road.
Although Xiao Yuan was nervous because of Xu Nuo's sudden action, and was extremely nervous, everything happened in an instant. He was well aware of the situation and calmed down quickly. He took out the dagger with his backhand and held it firmly in his hand.
He originally wanted to use himself as bait, but now he was stopped by the promise. The two of them were like grasshoppers on the same line. If they wanted to escape unscathed, none of these guards could leave alive.
To tell the truth, he didn't want Xu Nuo to see such a cold and ruthless side of him, like a killer, without any emotions, everything was just for his own purpose.
If Xu Nuo sees him like that, I'm afraid she won't look at him again.
However, for her sake, he was willing not to be looked at by her.
When the guard who came to investigate was about to reach the corner, in the distance, the middle-aged man who first refuted the little guard said: "Okay, everything is normal, return to the team."
The footsteps stopped suddenly, and you could hear the footsteps that were approaching first stopping, and then getting farther and farther away.
Then there were jeers and scolds from a distance from time to time. It was obvious that the old guards were teaching the young guard from before.
The two people in the corner breathed a sigh of relief, but their nerves were still tense, always ready to deal with emergencies in case the young guard ran back unconvinced.
Finally, the patrol team all left, and Xu Nuo released her hands from Xiao Yuan's lean waist, silently remembering that she did not deliberately take advantage, but just to stop him from showing off his personal heroism.
She was completely unaware of Xiao Yuan's nervousness until Xiao Yuan added a superfluous sentence: "I will pretend that what happened today never happened. There are many women who stick to me on weekdays. I have experienced this kind of thing." If there are too many, they won’t find you, so you don’t have to worry.”
Xu Nuo was stunned. Shouldn't he say that he would be responsible for her in this situation?
Or at least asking for her forgiveness?
Why do you want to reassure her and say you won't cause trouble for her?
seem……
Under such circumstances, Xu Nuo remembered what Xiao Yuan said when he first met him at Tiansheng Gambling House: Beijiang, if you come even a moment later, I will be eaten by this young man. You have to make the decision for me. Put him in charge! He looked at my body, he actually looked at my body! me……
At that time, she accidentally bumped into the private room where he was resting. When she saw him disheveled, he yelled at her to take responsibility for him.
She knew he was acting when she saw the playful look in his eyes, but his performance today was definitely not acting, but his unruly words after being nervous and panicked.
Xiao Yuan was actually nervous!
Will the always calm Xiao Yuan be nervous?
Xu Nuo did not expect that Xiao Yuan, who had always seen more women than you have seen, would be nervous about what just happened. Could it be that he had never touched a woman before? Otherwise, what happened just now was not enough to make him breathe harder and his heart beat faster, leading to his gibbering later on.
Xiao Jiashilang, who calls himself a playboy, actually...
Xu Nuo felt surprised and realized that he had discovered another side of Xiao Yuan, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.
What Xiao Yuan said just now was to emphasize that he often had contact with women and did not want Xu Nuo to feel burdened. Unexpectedly, Xu Nuo guessed the fact that he had never touched a woman.
Thinking of Xu Nuo's faint fragrance and soft body, he automatically took two steps back, widening the distance between them.
"Go back, don't think about going out. If anything happens, I will find a way to notify you." The biting night wind blew by, and the red color on Xiao Yuan's face finally faded away, and his body was no longer hot.
After what happened just now, Xu Nuo also knew that she couldn't get out, so she nodded in agreement, and Xiao Yuan took the shortcut to Concubine Liu Defi's yard. On the way, she asked Xiao Yuan to help her deliver a message to Qiyue.
Xiao Yuan did not nod after hearing this, but stopped. He turned around and asked Xunuo a question that left Xu Nuo scratching his head: "You guessed what she was going to do, but you don't know why she did it?"
"Yes." Xu Nuo indeed guessed that Concubine Liu wanted to use her to lure Fang Jing out, but she didn't know Concubine Liu's purpose of doing this.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and went to the end of a verandah with his promise. After gathering his mind and finding no one around, he said: "The official family is the third son of the late emperor, and he has two brothers, King Chu and King Xu. , the official family has admired the two brothers since they were young, and the kings of Chu and Xu also took great care of the official family."
"Both the king of Chu and the official family were descended from the Queen Mother. However, in order to avenge King Qin, the king of Chu was deposed as a prince and demoted to a commoner by the late emperor. The official family has always been very sad about this."
Xu Nuo naturally knew about Chu King Zhao Yuanzuo. He was smart since he was a child and was deeply liked by Song Taizong. After becoming the crown prince, the throne was easily available, but later he gave up the throne that should belong to him for the sake of his uncle Zhao Tingmei.
Regarding the throne, Zhao Yuanzuo chose to give up without any nostalgia. Such courage is really rare.
"After the death of the late emperor, the official family restored the title of King Chu, which can be regarded as doing their best. However, King Xu died young and left no son, which has always been a knot in the official family's heart."
The important ministers around him will definitely understand the emperor's unsolvable knot, especially Concubine Liu Def, who has been with him for many years.
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan gave Xu Nuo a meaningful look.
He wouldn't say anything more, but he knew Xu Nuo would understand what he meant.
Xu Nuo looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise, feeling very confused.
Fang Jing is actually the heir of King Xu, Zhao Yuanxi, the second son of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty?
Is he the nephew of the current emperor?
---
The evaluation of King Xu Zhao Yuanxi in "History of the Song Dynasty" is: Yuanxi was handsome, quiet and taciturn. For five years in Yinjing, he had no mistakes in political affairs.
Finally, I wrote about Fang Jing’s identity. The author did not whet everyone’s appetite and put the last point in the next chapter. To be honest, he is actually thick-skinned, hahaha. (To be continued)
