178 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Juggling

As soon as Huo Sui finished speaking, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed across Qin Lie’s face, as if he didn’t expect that there would be a misunderstanding.After he reacted, he touched the back of his neck with some embarrassment and said to Biluo, “Yes, I’m sorry, girl.”

Bi Luo couldn’t help but step back, bowed her head and shook her head slightly.Then she uncontrollably raised her eyes and glanced at Huo Sui, who was standing in front of her. Standing next to such an outstanding person should be a woman who could match him, and how could she… be qualified to be his…

Such a huge identity gap has long been placed in front of her. She should not and should not be greedy for the afterglow of the sun that does not belong to her.

“Okay, okay, you all get up quickly. Why are you kneeling?” Huo Sui hurriedly stepped forward and personally pulled several veterans who were close to him from the ground. “The emperor is a wise king, and he doesn’t like this. Don’t scare our queen!”

As soon as these bold words came out, everyone finally stopped looking tense on their faces and started laughing.The military camp, which originally had a somewhat solemn and reserved atmosphere, became somewhat familiar with the atmosphere due to Huo Sui’s joking.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Yan Zhaozhao could not help but feel warm in her heart.The eyes of these people looking at Xie Ciyan were as clear as autumn water. The light in their eyes was like a candle in the wind, which would not be dimmed by the years. They seemed to miss the general in their hearts standing with a gun and galloping on horseback.

Xie Ciyan’s eyes were filled with warmth, and he looked towards Huo Sui calmly.The latter’s forehead was understanding, and he immediately put his arms around Qin Lie’s shoulders and asked quietly: “Have you prepared what I asked you to prepare in the previous letter?”

Qin Lie’s eyes were a little dodgey, and he obviously lacked confidence when he spoke.”Well, I’m ready now.”

But it was obvious that Huo Sui didn’t notice the ambiguity in his tone at all. He confidently turned back and raised his eyebrows at Xie Ciyan, as if he was telling him that everything was completely arranged.

The smile on Xie Ciyan’s lips deepened, and then he took Yan Zhaozhao’s hand and led her slowly towards the already packed tent.”You’re tired after a long journey on the boat. How about you go and have a rest first?”

Yan Zhaozhao nodded happily. She didn’t have a good rest last night. She got into the car and came here this morning. She was very tired.Xie Ciyan’s eyes wanted to stick to her, unable to move away for a moment, so he could detect the tiredness between her brows and eyes.

The military camp had been packed up for them to stay. Xie Ciyan held Qing in his arms and wanted to rest with him for a while, but he didn’t expect that with Qing by his side, he would have a sweet dream. When the two of them woke up again, it was almost twilight.

After Xie Ciyan took a look at the sky, he was not in a hurry. He personally took out a crimson dress from the luggage they brought and put it on Yan Zhaozhao. He even put on lip makeup for his sweetheart, and then reluctantly left the camp hand in hand.

Strangely, the military camp after dark was a little different from when she came during the day.Xie Ciyan led her on another path to the stream.Both sides of the street were decorated with lanterns and streamers, red silk was fluttering, and an exquisite glass lantern hung on each pillar.The closer I got, the more lively sounds came into my ears, as if someone was shouting loudly not far away.

The streets are not very spacious, and the paths paved with bluestones are faintly gleaming from being stepped on.There are two or three small stalls on the side, each occupying a corner. Although they are shapeless, they have their own structure.

“Come on! Is this guest interested in making a candy man?”

Yan Zhaozhao was a little confused. Since this was a military camp, there wouldn’t be such a street with stalls in it. She was about to turn her head and ask the man next to her, but was attracted by the shouting voice on the side. She pulled Xie Ciyan and rushed to the stall with candy figures.

The stall owner was a young man. He was a little nervous and shy when he saw the two of them approaching. He hurriedly raised the candy man in front of him and handed it to Yan Zhaozhao with his hands and feet in a panic, “Madam, do you think this candy man is to your liking?”

Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took the candy man from his hand that was somewhat imaginary to hers. She didn’t notice the complicated look in Xie Ciyan’s eyes next to her, and glanced sideways at the young man, as if he was holding back something in his heart, but he wanted to stop.

“Ayan, look, this candy man pinches just like me.”

Xie Ciyan suppressed her complicated expression and glanced down at the candy man she was holding. The frown and smile between her eyebrows were indeed somewhat similar to the shy woman in front of her.He pinched Yan Zhaozhao’s cheek, “There is a bit of a resemblance.” He bent down and whispered in her ear with a deep voice: “But after all, it is not as beautiful as the goddess in my heart. She is the only sweetheart in my heart.”

Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks suddenly turned red, and she pushed him lightly, but there was a smile that couldn’t be hidden in her twinkling eyes.

“Here, this belongs to the young master.” The vendor picked up another candy man and handed it to Xie Ciyan. His appearance was clearly similar to his, with a serious look on his face and eyes, standing with his hands behind his back, looking cold and distant.

Yan Zhaozhao touched her candy man with his, and the smile on her lips became thicker and brighter.”I will keep it well when I get back and take it back to the palace and put it in the Yangxin Hall. Then when you are reviewing the memorial…” She shook the candy man in her hand, “You can see me!”

“Okay.” He agreed without the slightest hesitation, as if even if Yan Zhaozhao made any more outrageous requests, he would agree with a look of favor.”But I still hope that Madam can come to Yangxin Hall in person so that I can take a good look.”

Looking at her increasingly blushing cheeks, Xie Ciyan laughed and stopped teasing her, holding her hand and continuing to walk inside.

But the further they walked, the more Yan Zhaozhao felt that something was wrong.

This place has obviously been arranged like a folk temple fair. Inside is a lively sideshow, everyone is showing off their skills, but…

“The one who is performing the turntable juggling… seems to be Qin Lie?” Yan Zhaozhao pulled the man next to her with a more complicated expression and walked towards the place where the turntable was being turned.

When Qin Lie saw the emperor and empress walking towards this place, he hurriedly stood upright on the bench, waving the long pole with both hands. Several plain plates were spinning on the tip of the pole, shining brightly under the exquisite glazed lamp, which was really beautiful.

But the next moment, there was a series of crashing sounds of plates.

Amazing for just a moment.

Yan Zhaozhao first glanced at the mess on the ground, then opened his mouth with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn’t know where to start, so he closed his mouth again.

As if Xie Ciyan couldn’t stand it anymore, he pressed his forehead against the pain, “Why are you here?” He couldn’t help but ask again, “Didn’t I ask you to invite acrobats to perform here?”

“Listen to my explanation.” Qin Lie coughed unnaturally. He felt so weak that he didn’t dare to look into the emperor’s eyes.”It’s not that I don’t invite you, it’s that I won’t invite you!”

As he spoke, his tone was a bit resentful, “When I first went to invite him, the owner of the juggling class was still smiling, and he called me one guest at a time. But who would have thought that when he heard that he was going to perform at the border military camp, his face immediately changed, and he thought I was playing a trick on him, so he kicked me out immediately!”

His voice was lowered, and it sounded like there was still some undetectable grievance, “When I went back, I directly revealed my identity to the boss, but who would have expected that he would not dare to come to our military camp, and even ran away overnight.” Qin Lie stiffened his neck, as if he felt confident as he spoke, “Then I can only call the brothers!”

Xie Ciyan let out a long sigh, which was really annoying and ridiculous.

The border area is desolate and sparsely populated.There are neither prosperous markets like Chang’an, nor lively temple fairs.He originally wanted Yan Zhaozhao to experience the lively atmosphere of folk temple fairs, so he asked Huo Sui to write to Qin Lie to arrange for him to visit the temple fairs. He never expected that there would be such twists and turns.

He was about to turn his head to explain to Yan Zhaozhao, but the woman beside him had already taken a step forward and said thank you to Qin Lie with a sweet smile.”Thank you for your thoughtfulness.” The green fingertips scratched his palm and winked slyly, “Thank you also for your thoughtfulness, husband. I am very happy.”

Everything he could see was Xie Ciyan’s intentions for planning for her.Yan Zhaozhao stood among them, and she could see his thoughts at a glance. He set up a grand party for her in the place where she was young and most wanton and glamorous in the past, and spent everything, just to make her smile.

There was an unstoppable brilliance in her eyes, and her blazing eyes looked directly at the man in front of her who loved her wholeheartedly. Her lips smiled, like a burning fire, shining into his heart, making his heart skip a beat.

Xie Ciyan’s throat tightened, and he held the slender finger in his hot palm, resisting the urge to pull the person into his arms.But unfortunately, Qin Lie is a very short-sighted person, and he did not see the undercurrent surging in the eyes of a pair of lovers. He interrupted at the right time: “Does it require me to evacuate everyone?”

As soon as the words came out, Qin Lie felt that the air around him seemed to be a little cooler. He shrank his neck and raised his eyes to see the general who had been so decisive when he went to the battlefield suddenly glanced at him. His eyes were as cold as ice and as sharp as a blade. Before he opened his mouth, he felt that there was a certain amount of murderous intent and a certain amount of warning hidden in those eyes. He finally realized that he was really in the way.

He shut up and smiled dryly, “Forget it, forget it, I didn’t say…”

“There is no need to withdraw.” Yan Zhaozhao chuckled, and then said again: “Since the soldiers have made careful preparations, if you don’t take a look, it will be a waste of their efforts.”

She took Xie Ciyan’s hand and said, “Ayan, what do you think?”

When the man looked at his beloved again, all the cold expressions were gone, leaving only his eyes full of tenderness, “As long as you say yes.”

Qin Lie felt a little happy for a moment, and looked at Yan Zhaozhao with a little more respect in his eyes.They never knew how long the soldiers had been practicing for today’s juggling performance.They have always been accustomed to wielding swords and guns and are warriors on the battlefield. It is very difficult to learn to juggle.But because that was the beloved woman of their commander-in-chief, the general Xie Ciyan who had protected their lives many times on the battlefield, they were willing to do whatever they could to win her beauty.

Even though he had never kneaded flour before, he was still willing to learn to knead candy figures. He had never turned a plate before and stood on the bench without hesitation. Some soldiers even had blisters on their mouths because of blowing fire rings.

If the queen didn’t watch, they could indeed save themselves this hard work, but the efforts of the soldiers would also be in vain.

“Then please your Majesty and Your Majesty, come with me.” Qin Lie walked in front to guide them, introducing them one by one vividly.”What you see now is the signature show of our soldiers – crushing huge rocks from the chest!”

When the soldiers in twos and threes saw the emperor approaching, one of them hurriedly lay down on the desk, and the other two worked together to press a stone slab onto the soldier’s chest.Then the two men raised their hammers high in the air with both hands and brought them down in one fell swoop.

“Ah——”

A deafening howl suddenly resounded through the ears, but – the stone slab didn’t even have a single crack, let alone shattered.But the pressed soldier’s face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: “Didn’t I say that a crack has been opened under the stone slab, and it can be broken with just a light drop of the hammer!” He could no longer bear the heavy stone slab on his body, and raised his hand, “That hammer hit me hard enough to break it, but it hasn’t broken yet!”

The soldier holding the hammer was at a loss for a moment, and then he suddenly realized what he was doing and hurriedly lifted up the stone slab to take a look at it. Then he smiled guiltily, “Sorry, I took the wrong stone slab…”

When Yan Zhaozhao heard this, she couldn’t help laughing and bent over, her cheeks flushed from holding back.

Qin Lie tightened his hands, resisting the urge to use military methods to serve the two of them, and spat, “It’s embarrassing.”

He quickly turned around and continued to lead the way for the two of them, “Your Majesty, please don’t worry about these two useless things. We have something carefully prepared ahead…”

But today, God seems to be deliberately trying to slap Qin Lie in the face. No matter who he says has a wonderful performance, that person will make mistakes and make everyone laugh. But if he says that person’s performance is not good, he will win applause from the whole house.

After all this, Qin Lie simply shut his mouth and looked gloomy.

After such a lively round, Yan Zhaozhao felt layers of delicate warmth in her heart, as if the autumn sunshine was shining on her heart, soft and warm.She had never been to a military camp, and she had never imagined that the place that she remembered as solemn and murderous could give her such real tenderness and joy.

And all this is because of Xie Ciyan.

The soldiers were willing to laugh and make fools of themselves, just because of the commander-in-chief they were willing to follow.But here she felt the warmth and sense of belonging that the Yan family had never given her.

After passing through the scattered sideshows of lively laughter and going deeper, there is only one stall with noisy stalls and more than a dozen lanterns swaying gently in the wind.

The stall owners were actually Huo Sui and Bi Luo.
