Chitose words

Wu Ruoshu's expression changed slightly.

When Xie Zhao saw this, she immediately became convinced, and expected that things would turn out as she expected. When she saw Wu Ruoshu opening her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, she immediately raised her hand decisively and stopped her:

"Miss Wu, there are many people here and it is not a place for talking. I will go to Miss Wu's dormitory to rest and settle down for a while. Isn't it convenient?"

Wu Ruoshu was startled, and the next moment she woke up and said quickly: "It's convenient, everyone."

Wu Ruoshu was a convicted person, not the kind of oiran who could redeem herself by giving money, so her living space in the Huamanlou was very cramped.

Her room had the same specifications as that of other convicts, only half the size of an ordinary lady's boudoir.

Except for an embroidery bed, a dressing table and a wardrobe, there is no room for anything else.

Including Wu Ruoshu and Cui Yuechi, a group of six people were crowded into such a small room, which was a bit overcrowded.

Having reached such a state of destitution, Wu Ruoshu's face inevitably showed a hint of embarrassment and shame, and she whispered:

"The shabby room is small and unsightly, which offends all my benefactors."

Xie Zhao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Miss Jade Bone Lanxiang is naturally pure and pure, so there is no need to feel ashamed."

She looked at Ling You calmly.

Ling You was startled for a moment, then understood what she meant and nodded gently to her.

Then, Xie Zhao looked at Cui Yuechi again, smiled, and said bluntly:

"Mr. Cui, I would like to ask Miss Wu for advice on something. I wonder if Mr. Cui can do it for me?"

Cui Yuechi was stunned.

Then I heard Xie Zhao laugh and add: "It's just a chat among some girls. Please rest assured, Mr. Cui, Xie will not embarrass Miss Wu."

She said that for this reason, Cui Yuechi would naturally not fail to appreciate her.

What's more, these knights had just resisted the pressure of Princess Pingyang and rescued Wu Ruoshu from Xue Songyuan. Naturally, he believed that Xie Nvxia would not harm her.

After looking at Wu Ruoshu, he saw that she nodded slightly without any rejection, so Cui Yuechi did not hesitate and nodded immediately:

"Is this any inconvenience? Thank you for your permission, Miss. I happen to have lived in Kyoto for a long time and am short-sighted. I only know the words in the book. I also really want to hear the story of the two young heroes fighting swords in the world. Why don't we go to the private room on the second floor? Have a drink.”

In fact, Cui Yuechi's words were somewhat selfish.

After all, Wu Ruoshu was a girl, so it would not be inappropriate to talk to Xie Zhao and Bo Xi with the door closed.

But even though Ling You and Han Changsheng were open and selfless and upright men, they were still men.

Cui Yuechi came from a noble family in the Southern Dynasties, but he still didn't want his fiancée to be in the same room with another man.

After all, it was about Wu Ruoshu's reputation. If possible, he always hoped to protect her more.

Ling You could enter the Holy King Profound Realm at such an age, so naturally he was not just a stupid fool.

At this time, when he heard Cui Yuechi's unfinished meaning, he knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string.

What's more, Xie Zhaocai was clearly signaling to him with his eyes that he had better take Cui Yuechi and leave first, leaving her and Wu Ruoshu a chance to talk quietly.

So he nodded slightly, walked down the steps and said:

"It just so happens that Han Changsheng and I do have some knowledge about Zhaoge. It would be an eye-opener to ask Mr. Cui for advice."

Han Changsheng was pushed by Ling He. He first looked at Xie Zhao blankly, then he said "Ah" after realizing it, and said repeatedly:

"That's right! I've been very curious about Zhaoge's scenery for a long time, but I was in such a hurry when I first came here that I didn't have time to appreciate it carefully. Let's leave now."

As for Bo Xi, he didn't need any warning or reminder at all, he had already spontaneously waited outside the door with his personal sword "Crying Dragon Huang".

She practices the "Tao of Sentences", and although her appearance is cold and inhumane, she is actually the most understanding and sophisticated person. Bo Xi knew that Xie Zhao wanted to inquire about Wu Ruoshu. Since it related to his father's former Southwest Inspector Wu Yong, it would most likely involve the internal affairs of the Southern Dynasty.

In this case, it is not convenient for her, a Northern Dynasty native, to be present and listen.

The door opened and closed, and several people left one after another.

Xie Zhao turned around again, looked at Wu Ruoshu who was biting her lip with warm eyes, smiled lightly, and said warmly:

"Miss Wu, please sit down."

This is Wu Ruoshu's room, but Xie Zhao is calm and calm as if he is the owner of this room. The strange thing is that Wu Ruoshu didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this.

She shook her head, let out an absent-minded "Ah", and sat down on her embroidered bed obediently.

Xie Zhao laughed when he saw this.

At this time, there was no one else in the room except Wu Ruoshu, and Wu Ruoshu didn't know her before, so Xie Zhao simply raised his hand and took off the mask on his face with great relief, letting the skin that had been stuffy for a long time relax for a while.

After all, the mask is made of simple material. When the facial features vibrate slightly when speaking, the edges of the mask will continue to rub against the person's cheeks and jaw.

Although Xie Zhao's palms were covered with calluses, the skin on her face was extremely tender, so it was unavoidable that it would itch under the friction of the mask.

After she took off her mask, she placed it on Wu Ruoshu's dressing table. Then she pointed at the wooden seat in front of the dressing table and asked with a smile:

"Can I sit here?"

Wu Ruoshu was staring at Xie Zhao's stunning face with astonishment. Even if this face could be described as beautiful and fragrant, it was no exaggeration!

She also didn't expect that this Xie Nuxia, who acted freely and uninhibitedly, would actually have such a beautiful appearance!

No wonder she had to wear this mask wherever she walked, otherwise, in the main hall of Huamanlou just now, Xue Songyuan's disciple would have caused trouble again.

Seeing that she was distracted, Xie Zhao asked again with a smile.

"Miss Wu?"

"what!"

Wu Ruoshu came back to her senses, quickly lowered her eyes in embarrassment, and stared at her without being rude.

"Ruoshu is being rude. Thank you, Miss. Please sit down quickly."

Xie Zhao smiled and shook his head slightly to indicate that it was okay, lifted up his skirt and sat on the simple wooden chair.

She held the "golden platform" with one hand and gently placed the scabbard on the ground.

Wearing only a thick fur-collared cloak over a simple and simple plain-colored gown, he seemed to be very afraid of the cold.

However, it is already the end of the year and the cold season of winter, and even the land of Nanchao Tianchen feels a bit cold.

Xie Zhao's dressing style is not unusual.

She considered it for a moment, and the first sentence she spoke was:

"Ms. Wu, I believe that your father is not a corrupt official who is derelict in his duties and has no moral integrity. But it is empty talk and everything needs evidence. Frankly speaking, this matter is not easy to handle."

Her second sentence is:

"I wonder if your Majesty, General Wu, has ever left any rare items for his family, such as His Majesty's imperial edict."
