Chapter 481: promise
He looked thinner, his face was gray, and he looked like a death row prisoner.
Hearing the movement, Wei Zhongming looked at Su Ying expectantly, "Ma'am..."
Su Ying quickly got on the horse, "Doesn't it feel good?"
"Damn the lower officials..."
"It's good to know you deserve to die."
Wei Zhongming didn't dare to say anything.
The two got on their horses and rode away.
The town is not far from the post station, because it is also close to the capital, Xiao Jin is no stranger to this section of the road.
The two rode their horses all the way to the town before dark.
This is a big town, even at sunset, there are still many pedestrians on the street.
After entering the town, the two dismounted and led the horse along the street.
"Want to buy something?"
"They like small animals, let's go to the cattle stalls to see."
"good."
The faces of both of them changed, and they were wearing the most common coarse cloth clothes. Walking on the street, they looked like an ordinary couple.
Xiao Jin took Su Ying's hand, asked where the livestock stall was, and then led her slowly towards it.
On the road, Su Ying, who met a peddler who was yelling at the side of the road, would also go over to have a look, and also bring something back to Mother Zhao and Bai Shuang.
"Little lady, this flower is the most fashionable in Beijing. If you like it, I will sell it to you for five cents each."
For the jewelry in the palace, these head flowers are really not good, but Su Ying thought it was very unique, so she picked a few, and Xiao Jin followed her to pay.
"Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar, hot chestnuts in sugar."
Su Ying smelled the aroma of the food after buying the first flower. She hadn't been able to eat well during this period of time, and now that she is approaching the capital, she feels relaxed and interested.
"Give me a pack."
"Okay little lady, you take it."
Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying peeling the chestnuts and eating contentedly, with a doting smile on his lips, "How much?"
"Guest officer, fifteen coins."
After paying the money, Xiao Jin bought some bunches of candied haws and fresh pastries for Su Ying.
"Taste?"
A still steaming yellow-orange-orange-fried chestnut was brought to his lips.
Xiao Jin slightly lowered his head and opened his mouth to eat.
Chestnuts are very glutinous and sweet, and it warms his heart from between his lips and teeth.
Walking around all the way, the two finally came to the cattle stall. Su Ying stuffed all the things bought on the way into Xiao Jin's arms.
"You wait for me here, I'll be right back."
Xiao Jin frowned slightly and wanted to refuse, he didn't want to be separated from her for a moment!
Su Ying said: "These are for food, the inside is too smelly, for a quarter of an hour, if I don't come out for a quarter of an hour, you can go in again."
"I'll accompany you."
"No."
In the end, Xiao Jin could only compromise, "Half a quarter of an hour."
"good."
Su Ying walked into the cattle stall without even thinking about it. She wanted to find a hidden place and enter the space to get the two little wolves out.
Fortunately, the sky had darkened and there were not many people in the stall. She found a low wall and walked in. When she came out, she already had two wolf pups in her hands.
The little wolf cubs have been trapped in the space for so long, and they are a little bit wary when they suddenly appear outside, especially because the smell of livestock around them makes their hairs stand on end.
Su Ying patted them reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, let's go, I'll take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
When walking out, Su Ying saw Xiao Jin standing outside the door at a glance.
Even the most common coarse cloth clothes can't conceal the nobility on his body.
"Wolf?" Xiao Jin looked at the animal she pulled out in amazement.
Su Ying nodded, "I bought it from an uncle from the northwest. Seeing that they are still young, they should be able to raise them. Take them back and give them to Ji'er."
In the city of Tiankui before, the two little guys got along well with the wolf king and the pack of wolves. When they returned to Chu State, they were very reluctant to part with them. They won’t see the pack of dogs in a short time, so send them off. Let them take good care of the two little ones.
"good."
Xiao Jin put all his things on the horse's back, and stepped forward to hold her hand.
He doesn't care what Su Ying brings back, all he cares about is her.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat here and then go back or go back and eat?"
The post station has already got the news in advance, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared. If you don’t go back, the prepared things should be wasted.
Anyway, the purpose of coming out has been achieved, and there is no need to continue here.
"Let's go back."
"good."
Su Ying bought two larger baskets, and put two little wolves inside and tied them to the horse. She was about to get on the horse when Xiao Jin grabbed her.
"Sit here with me."
Su Ying thought Xiao Jin was going to give her his horse to ride, "Are you walking?"
Xiao Jin's eyelids twitched, and he told her to get on the horse first, and then sat down neatly behind her.
The width of the saddle is limited, and Xiao Jin almost sticks to Su Ying's back. Even though the two have been in close contact countless times, her heartbeat will still inexplicably speed up when she feels his breath attacking.
"If you're tired, lean on me." Xiao Jin went around her with both hands and grabbed the rein and clamped the horse's belly, and the horse walked briskly.
If they can't enter Beijing tonight, there is no need for them to rush back.
From the time when the sky was sinking to the dense clouds, Su Ying leaned against Xiao Jin's arms, felt his strong heartbeat and looked at the shining nebula in the sky, enjoying the rare tranquility at this moment.
After returning to Beijing, they don't know how many things are waiting for them.
"Xiao Jin."
"kindness."
"If one day, mine is gone..."
Xiao Jin's hand holding her tightened suddenly, even his heartbeat accelerated, and the fear of losing struck him again, making him almost lose control.
"Won't!"
She stroked his tense hands soothingly, "I mean if."
"No ifs! Su Ying, I don't want to think about these **** ifs!"
"Okay, then don't want to, but no matter what happens, don't abuse yourself, at least you have to promise me this."
Xiao Jin lowered his head, pressed his face against hers, felt her temperature, and his flustered heartbeat gradually calmed down, "Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you will Keep yourself safe, this is your husband, I hope you will give him a promise."
"Okay, I promise you too."
Xiao Jin hugged her tightly, and kissed her on the cheek, "I will arrange the affairs of Chu State as soon as possible, and give me some time."
"Why, you don't want to be the emperor anymore? Don't be self-willed, it won't be so easy to get off when you get on the thief ship." If Xiao Jin is not the monarch, no matter who is in power, Xiao Jin is the most terrible threat to that person, even if At the beginning, she was relieved, and people's hearts would change over time, so she did not agree with Xiao Jin's resignation at this time.
"Don't be willful, I can't put you in danger."
"Don't worry, don't worry, no matter what you do, I will be with you Xiao Jin, this is my promise to you."
"Then you must keep your promise, otherwise..."
Su Ying asked amusedly: "Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise... I will let you cry at night and beg for mercy."
Su Ying laughed lightly, turned around neatly, wrapped his neck around his neck and kissed him on the lips, "Who will cry may be!"
