"Uncle Nine Emperors, Uncle Nine Emperors."
The surroundings were too quiet and the cold wind howled. Xia Tan'er just called Dong Lingjiu and turned around.
But he was not in a hurry to ask what was going on, and looked at Xia Tan'er with an unhappy look on his face.
"Tan'er, we agreed on the road that when we are incognito, in order to avoid attracting the attention of officials along the road and exposing our whereabouts, you will call me husband."
…
Xia Tan'er narrowed her eyes. She had to say that if Dong Lingjiu hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it, but she still couldn't say such shameful words about her husband.
"Nine……"
"Um?"
The sentence was short and the tone was full of threats. Xia Tan'er pursed her lips with a look of reluctance.
"Husband."
"Well, that's pretty much it. Why do you call me your husband, madam?"
Aventurine Jiu really enjoys such a title. In the dead of night, he had also thought about it, if only they were an ordinary couple. They would be noisy and happy, but they would always support each other and stay together for the rest of their lives. Such days would be peaceful and monotonous, but full of flavor.
But Xia Tan'er had never thought about this aspect. She could live a life of power, so why should she suffer from the ordinary life? Thinking of the days she lived when she was young, she couldn't bear to be hungry or full. Looking forward to it, she never wanted to do it again in her life.
If Xia Tan'er knew that Dong Lingjiu had thought this way, she would definitely let Dong Lingjiu feel the suffering of ordinary people.
The helplessness when you are bullied, the helplessness when you are ruthlessly rejected because you are helpless even if you are justified, all of this is like an invisible mountain pressing down on every civilian, making it difficult for them to breathe.
There is no place to complain about suffering, no medicine to cure injuries. But these are another story.
Xia Tan'er looked at Dong Lingjiu's arrogant look and couldn't help but pursed her lips. She reluctantly showed a gentle smile and softened her voice before she began to answer Dong Lingjiu's words.
"Husband, it's getting late and it's hard to travel. Why don't we find a place to stay and rest up."
"Okay, there's an inn ahead, we'll rest there."
"Inn? Is it open? Is anyone there?"
"Maybe. If it doesn't exist here, just look for another place. You can always find a place to stay."
Xia Tan'er glanced around, feeling uneasy in her heart.
"ASAP."
Dong Lingjiu nodded, and Xia Tan'er got back into the car. When she turned around, she saw Feng Muchi looking at her with a smirk on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Husband~"
This call was so loud that Feng Muchi looked at her with a gossipy face. Xia Tan'er had never wanted to beat someone up so much in her life as she did today.
"Feng Muchi, if you scream again, believe it or not, I will give you a shot."
"No more, no more, you keep threatening me with this, and you don't have any other tricks."
"Hmph, as long as the trick doesn't work for new people."
Feng Muchi rolled his eyes at Xia Tan'er and returned to his usual seriousness in seconds.
"If you can't find an inn to stay in, then you can stay at my stronghold in Fengying Tower. The whole Linqin feels weird, so I have to find someone to ask."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, and I'll also ask if there is a scholar in white among the horse bandits. I heard about this person when I dined at the inn, and I always felt that this person was unusual. "
According to Xia Tan'er's knowledge, the average horse bandits are tall and thick or wear wild clothes, which is more in line with their image. But suddenly a scholar in white appears, which always feels a bit strange. Well, this person is the most critical person among the horse bandits.
Xia Tan'er has always known how terrible people can be if they use knowledge to do bad things! Knowledge is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it will benefit one party; if you use it badly, it will destroy the world.
