It was originally a small village built by bandits. As for the beds, they were all dirty, or there were none at all, just a bed of hay.
Not to mention comparing with home, even any inn is much more luxurious than this cottage.
But yes, if you have money, who would come out to be a bandit?
And in such a poor place in the mountains, how could there be any high-quality bedding for them?
Zuo Ning naturally didn't care about this. The environment where he first went to the battlefield was even worse than the one in this cottage.
Thinking back to the time when I was a centurion on the battlefield, it was common to sleep on the ground or with a pillow in the sand. In comparison, this cottage is already quite good.
He was worried that Lu Shuihan was not used to it, so after cleaning up the bodies outside, he took out a few of his robes from his luggage and planned to send them to Lu Shuihan.
When the handsome evil man went upstairs holding two white robes, he found that the door was not closed.
He looked inside through the crack of the half-open door, and what caught his eye was the white-haired fairy dressing up in the mirror.
In front of a smooth bronze mirror, Lu Shuihan sat upright, his two lotus-rooted arms gently holding his own snow silk, and his beautiful half-opened and half-closed eyes showed a somewhat confused look.
Viewed from the side, the red lips that had just been dotted with rouge are delicate and moist, and the melon-shaped face with a little makeup shines under the light.
She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and her white dress was stretched into a round shape at this moment, which vividly outlined her slim waist and the amazing arc below, making the dress disappear at this moment. She also lost any wrinkles in this position.
The beautiful woman looks into the mirror with clouded temples, her waist is girdled in a white skirt and the moon shines brightly.
The beauty is truly stunning, and her temples are also truly beautiful.
As if he sensed someone coming from behind, Lu Shuihan turned his face slightly and looked up at Zuo Ning, who was holding a pile of clothes at the door and looking at him.
She picked up a hosta on the table, tied it into her combed hair, fixed it, then lowered her head slightly and said softly:
"You...why are you here?"
Zuo Ning smiled slightly, spread the clothes in his hands as sheets on the wooden bed nearby, then pulled up a chair and sat next to her.
"I'm worried that you won't sleep well, so I gave you two pieces of clothing to use as quilts and sheets."
After listening to Zuo Ning's words, Lu Shuihan looked sideways. Two pure black robes were quietly spread on the bed. Whether it was the goshawk embroidered with golden silk thread or the smooth and smooth fabric, these two robes were highlighted. expensive.
"Here... give me your clothes. Isn't this... bad?"
Zuo Ning did not answer, but looked at her beautiful profile quietly, as if admiring a piece of ingenious work of art.
"I want to talk to you."
Lu Shuihan, who was looking at Zuo Ning a little blurryly, was confused for a moment when he heard what Zuo Ning said.
"Talk about... what to talk about?"
Lu Shuihan was a little nervous, not knowing what Zuo Ning was going to say.
She didn't know how she would respond if Zuo Ning wanted to tell her something about the two of them.
Her green-white fingers intertwined and gently grasped the hem of the skirt. A slight blush appeared on her delicate face.
"What's going on in the south of Daqing?"
?
Zuo Ning sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue admiring the stunning beauty of the beautiful fairy next to him, but that this doubt had been lingering in his mind since he left the gate of Yanzhou.
He has never been to these places. Every time he leaves Yanzhou, he either goes to Yunzhou to find Li An or goes to the north to defend the border against the enemy.
I really don’t know anything about Daqing in the south.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Shuihan felt relieved after he said these words, although she hoped that Zuo Ning could sort out the somewhat ambiguous relationship with her.
But seeing his confused look, he still suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked softly.
"What did you see along the way when you were in and out of the rivers and lakes?"
Zuo Ning asked Lu Shuihan. He hoped to learn about the outside world from this girl who had been running outside for a while.
She hugged her clothes, thought for a moment, and answered:
“The scenes I saw during this period are indeed completely different from those in Yunzhou.
Yanzhou and Yunzhou are relatively peaceful. No matter Bingzhou or Yazhou I have visited, there is no way to compare with them, especially Bingzhou.
Due to famine, Yexiao City in Bingzhou had ten houses and three empty houses. This is the same situation in Yexiao. In other smaller cities, I feel that the situation may be even worse.
When I went to Bingzhou to worship a gunman, I went to the Qingyun Sect. That place was separated from the outside world by a mountain gate, but it seemed to be divided into two worlds.
The Qingyun Sect is not only full of lush trees, bustling with people, and prosperous houses, but they are full of food and clothing, and the feast I was entertained was also a big one. Outside, there is yellow sand covering the sky, dead trees, and barren fields.
I think this is the main reason for the severe drought in Bingzhou in the past two years..."
Zuo Ning nodded slightly, holding his chin with his long knuckles while listening to Lu Shuihan's story and thinking at the same time.
He is the grandson of the governor of Yizhou and the prince of An Yanhou, so he has the standard of fine clothes and food. However, he has also been in the army and can understand the difficulty of the lower class.
Lu Shuihan smiled lightly when he saw that the handsome and demon-like young master in front of him was really thinking about this issue that seemed to have nothing to do with his class.
Finally, after a long time, Zuo Ning stopped worrying about these issues.
Because he decided that when he arrived in the capital, he would take a look at life for a while.
He began to realize that the whole Daqing seemed to have become strange in his eyes.
If he does not understand the most fundamental reason, he will not be able to feel relieved for the soldiers who are resisting foreign enemies in northern Xinjiang.
Indeed, along the way from Qingzhou, I saw so many refugees that I didn't notice them at all, and the direction they came from was, without exception, Bingzhou.
It may be that they simply left their homes due to famine, or there may be other reasons.
…
Zuo Ning, who had temporarily untied his knot, breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded to Lu Shuihan.
"Thanks."
By now, Lu Shuihan could see that Zuo Ning's state at this moment was like that of a confused person who accidentally discovered that all the furniture at home was broken.
In response to his thanks, she nodded and responded to him.
Then,
Lu Shuihan stared at Zuo Ning with his clear almond eyes, then picked up a silver hairpin from the table next to him and looked at him with a faint look.
There is a huge contrast with the appearance of my close sister just now.
?
This time it was Zuo Ning's turn to be stunned.
What is this to be done?
"Zuo Ning..."
"?"
Zuo Ning looked at the white-haired fairy with charming but cold eyes in front of him, with a hint of resentment, and suddenly felt as if a cold wind had hit him, making him want to shiver.
"Tell me honestly, what do I mean to you?"
Lu Shuihan raised his head slightly and leaned towards Zuo Ning's ear. His mouth was slightly open, and the warm and moist orchid fragrance brushed Zuo Ning's ear.
The voice was soft, with a bit of resentment from a young lady, but also seemed to have a bit of expectation. Several emotions were mixed and integrated into this question.
she asked.
Lu Shuihan also felt that such a gesture was too intimate, but she had always been a person who dared to think and act. There was no need to go round and round about things that she was confused about, confusing, and wanted to know.
Just be honest with each other, there is no need to be secretive and let others misunderstand.
And she seemed to have underestimated Zuo Ning's determination. Although Zuo Ning felt that Lu Shuihan was particularly charming like this, he still did not answer Lu Shuihan's words.
Seeing that Zuo Ning didn't react at all, he just sat quietly and didn't answer himself.
This greatly frustrated Lu Shuihan.
Obviously this is what is written in novels and reviews, right? Beautiful women seduce hot-blooded men, and the men in the book do it directly.
Why didn't Zuo Ning play his cards according to the routine? Why are you unmoved?
By remaining silent, Zuo Ning couldn't tell what Lu Shuihan was thinking. The best way is to remain silent...
Seeing that Zuo Ning was like a piece of wood, the way he used to tease her was gone for a while, Lu Shuihan gritted his teeth.
I saw her tenderness gently pinching a corner of the white skirt, and then slowly lifting it up in front of Zuo Ning...
? !
Zuo Ning just watched her skirt slowly climb up from her calf...
The slender calves like jade pillars were gradually revealed before his eyes, without a single flaw. They were round, plump, elastic, and revealed a white and rosy luster.
Then Zuo Ning's eyes moved up, and he saw half of the plump thigh exposed to his view under Lu Shuihan's teasing.
hiss……
Then just when Zuo Ning thought there was something exciting and continued to watch while sitting upright, he seemed to notice something.
He raised his head and stared at Lu Shuihan, who had a shameful and angry look on his face, and looked at him charmingly.
Lu Shuihan, who was originally the most beautiful woman in the world, was still wearing a little makeup at this moment, and his red lips as red as water were in front of Zuo Ning, looking like he was ready to pick them.
Zuo Ning was distracted for a moment.
…
My brother can't stand it anymore.
Lu Shuihan, who originally looked innocent and had a bit of vixen-like charm, was now flirting with him openly.
Can this be tolerated?
able.
Although Zuo Ning was indeed unable to pass this beauty test, his mind suddenly realized...
Li An was lucky to say that if the princess learned that on his way to consummate her wedding, he had done such an intimate act with other women openly...
If the princess is an unreasonable master, won't her freedom and happiness for the rest of her life be completely gone when she gets angry? ?
"...Lu..., Shuihan, respect yourself...a little lychee, okay?"
? ? ? ? ?
Hear Zuo Ning’s words
Lu Shuihan, who was still trying to seduce Zuo Ning, was stunned on the spot.
She looked at Zuo Ning in disbelief. She was staring straight at Zuo Ning with her beautiful, clear, and somewhat charming almond eyes.
stunned.
... Reason... What reason do you want me to use...! ?
Seeing Zuo Ning's gentlemanly appearance, she was furious.
So, I have lost my beauty and lost my legs, and I have lost so much... In other words, I have lost my self-respect! ! ! ?
Not only did I not get his answer, but I was also told in a roundabout way? ? ?
"Zuo Ning!!!"
Lu Shuihan, who was furious, shouted softly, then pushed Zuo Ning, who was caught off guard, onto the bed behind him with a push of his hands.
"You... you know how to bully others... shameless! You are a scumbag~!"
