179 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Ostrich

As the night grew darker, the glazed lamps lit around the military camp swayed in the wind, making the silhouettes of people appear longer and shorter.The red silk was dyed with a warm color, as if it had covered the solemn and cold military camp with a layer of gentle gauze.

Huo Suijian stood in front of the lantern stall together. He couldn’t help but raised his eyebrows at Xie Ciyan, looking full of confidence and laziness.”Is this guest interested in guessing the lantern riddles?” He paused deliberately, with a faint smile on his lips, and pretended to be mysterious and continued: “Every time you answer a question correctly, you will win a gift.”

Yan Zhaozhao rarely guessed lantern riddles, and her eyes lit up when she heard there was a gift, obviously her interest was aroused.She couldn’t wait to pick up a lantern title – a small thing like a silver hook, which she could pick up at night and guess two words.

The smile on her lips suddenly deepened, and she answered without thinking, “Moon.” After saying this, she proudly glanced sideways at Xie Ciyan, with an expression like a cat asking for praise.

The man raised his hand and patted the top of her hair, and without hesitation he praised: “Zhaozhao is really amazing.”

Satisfied with the compliment, Yanmao turned back to look at the next question, “Born in the mountains, hidden in the house, used in hands, walked in mouth. Guess a word.”

The more Yan Zhaozhao read it, the softer her voice became, and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was stumped by the title of the lantern.Xie Ciyan glanced at it and then made up his mind. He moved his strong body closer to her and said in a teasing tone, “Are you stumped?”

Just now she was asking him to praise her complacently, but it would be too embarrassing if she said no now.Thinking of this, Yan Zhaozhao could only pretend to be relaxed and understated, but the words he spoke showed a little bit of guilt.”How could it be, I, I was just…thinking.”

Xie Ciyan chuckled lightly and stood there waiting for her for a while. Seeing that she really couldn’t think of anything, he leaned over and whispered in her ear to remind her, “Madam, do you still remember how I do it every time I kiss you?”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks turned crimson, and her mind unconsciously returned to those heart-pounding memories.Xie Ciyan never followed the rules when kissing her, and he never knew what gentleness meant. His long tongue would always pry open her lips and teeth, and penetrate into her mouth to greedily suck and lick. The ever-deepening entanglement would make her legs so weak that she could hardly stand, and she could only be held in his arms.

Her cheeks turned redder, and she lowered her eyes that were already covered with desire. When she spoke again, her voice seemed to have been polished by sand, with a slight hoarse tone, “Is it… tongue?”

Huo Sui, who was on the other side, was unaware of the shyness on their side. When he heard the answer, he clapped his hands and said congratulations again.”Congratulations on the correct answer!”

“So Zhao Zhao remembers how I sucked your tongue and kissed you every time?” He took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people around him and quietly swept the tip of his tongue over her ear, which was so red that it was almost bleeding. His voice was so low and trembling, as if he was biting her heart with a smile, “I’m very happy, Zhao Zhao.”

She had never expected that Xie Ciyan would dare to do such a thing in front of others. The tip of her ears suddenly trembled as if they were burned, and her whole body froze.That tongue tip carried his unique hot temperature, which seemed to linger on her auricle, and even the tip of her heart was numbed by him.

Yan Zhaozhao blushed and pinched the man’s waist calmly, raised her eyes and glared at him fiercely, telling him to restrain himself.”Thank you Ciyan, don’t make trouble.”

She originally thought that the man would take advantage of her and pester her again and again, but she never expected that Xie Ciyan would actually stand by her side obediently, watching the next lantern with her.Yan Zhaozhao looked unnatural for a moment, and then continued to answer the lantern questions. The next questions were relatively simple, and occasionally Xie Ciyan would give her gentle reminders for some difficult questions, and she came to the last lantern question smoothly.

——Three thousand fireworks are not as good as yours, and the blue lamp illuminates the night and it is hard to calm down.

Yan Zhaozhao stared at the lantern in a trance, frowning slightly, softly reciting the title over and over again, pursed her lips tightly, and even her fingertips unconsciously rolled up the edges of her sleeves.Still unable to figure it out for a long time, she lowered her eyelashes with a trace of frustration flashing through her eyes, seeming to murmur unwillingly, “Why is it so difficult…”

Xie Ciyan couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw her thinking hard, and asked in a low and hoarse voice, “Can’t you guess it yet?”

She hummed softly, biting her lip, obviously unconvinced, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes, “I, I’ve almost figured it out…”

“Huh?” He chuckled and stopped teasing her. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “The answer is Nian Qing.”

Yan Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment and looked sideways at him.

He met her slightly dazed gaze, and the distance between them was extremely close, causing Bi Luo to look away in embarrassment, for fear of offending the empress.But Huo Sui watched with great interest, as if he was very curious about how a pair of lovers get along, and he even wanted to know…

How does it feel to be happy with someone, so that one is so willing to perish?

His eyes glanced at the little ostrich girl with a little blush on her cheeks as if unintentionally. Seeing her embarrassed look, his heart suddenly softened for some reason. Perhaps he didn’t even notice that the lazy and wanton smile on his lips had already softened into a warm smile.

But the two of them were so absorbed in each other’s world that they were completely unaware of Huo Sui’s meaningful gaze.

There was a smile in Xie Ciyan’s low and hoarse voice, like a hook that captivated the heart. A whisper was enough to make people’s hearts tremble.”Just like how I miss Zhao Zhao, I miss you dearly and miss you, day after day.”

Yan Zhaozhao’s eyebrows softened completely, and the smile at the corner of her mouth could no longer be hidden. She couldn’t help but said: “How could I not know this lovesickness?” With a thought in her mind, she did the most outrageous thing in her life in front of others. She quickly placed a gentle kiss on the corner of Xie Ciyan’s lips, and the kiss was instant.”Thank you Ciyan, so do I.”

Huo Sui, who had been staring at the two people, saw this move. His eyes suddenly darkened, and he subconsciously moved his steps to block the ostrich girl with his broad body. His tone was a bit disgusting, “Okay, okay, after the riddle is over, let this person take you to get the gift.” Huo Sui said it concisely and without politeness, as if he was in a hurry to send the two people away in front of him.At the end of the day, he did not forget the identity of the stall owner, “You have guessed all the lanterns here, it’s time to close the stall.”

Xie Ciyan glanced at him. Perhaps because he was in a very good mood, he didn’t care about Huo Sui. He actually took Yan Zhaozhao’s slender waist and left the stall.With the tip of his ears, he could still vaguely hear the dignified emperor Tian shamelessly whispering: “Kiss me again, Zhaozhao, okay?”

The woman scolded him softly, as if she was mumbling something, but the man was already walking away, and Huo Sui didn’t hear him clearly.

He turned around and took down the lanterns that Yan Zhaozhao had just guessed one by one, then replaced them with ten new lanterns of exquisite and unique styles, and hung up the last one unhurriedly.Turning his head, he waved to the little ostrich girl over there who kept her head lowered and did not dare to look directly at him. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a bit of evil in her tone, “Stop hiding, come here and continue guessing.”

Bi Luo, who had been lowering her eyes, subconsciously raised her head when she heard the sound. Seeing that Huo Sui was indeed talking to her, her heart beat faster. Her fingertips were tightly clenching the hem of her clothes, but her face pretended to be calm and calm.”Looking directly at the emperor and empress is a crime of disrespect, and should be slapped fifty times.”

Huo Sui choked, then sighed softly.

“Then look at me.” His voice was low, with a smile on his eyes and brows, but his tone was serious, “I’m not an emperor or empress, so you don’t think I’m being disrespectful.”

“So, look at me.” His voice was soft and soft, with a hint of lazy charm, like the ripples caused by the night wind blowing through the lake in his heart, “Look at me, no one dares to punish you.”

He raised his eyes and looked into Bi Luo’s eyes, with a smile at the end of his eyes, which seemed serious but also seemed to be teasing. In this quiet night, he seemed to have gently promised her that she could do whatever she wanted.

Bi Luo was stunned for a moment, a look of shock flashed across her eyes, and she stared blankly at his smiling eyes, forgetting to look away for a moment.The next moment, he suddenly came back to his senses as if he had been burned. He subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but his feet seemed to be rooted and unable to move.”Please don’t make such a joke, General.”

Because she will take it seriously.

General Huo was so dazzling, like the scorching sun coming into the world, and it was a gift for a mortal like her to even raise her eyes, let alone reach out and touch him.

The smile on Huo Sui’s lips faded slightly, as if he had suddenly put away his edge.”Okay, no joke.” He raised his chin slightly and motioned for her to come closer. “Your master has no time to take care of you right now. Why don’t you guess a lantern riddle since you’re here?”

She moved her lips lightly, but hesitated to speak. In the end, she was unable to say anything to reject him. She only responded in a low voice and walked a little farther away from him.

Seeing that the distance between the two of them was enough for two strong men to stand, Huo Sui frowned slightly and felt irritated. He felt that the distance was particularly annoying.He took a big step and stood directly beside her. Seeing that she subconsciously wanted to move away, Huo Sui felt uncomfortable for a while. He subconsciously reached out to grab the ostrich girl who kept trying to escape. “Come here and guess the lantern riddles.” He paused, then suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to hold her like this. Then he let go of his hand and added in a low voice: “These riddles are all made by me. If you can guess them, I will give you a reward. How about it?”

Bi Luo’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that the lantern riddle was actually written by Huo Sui. All her rejection completely dissipated at this moment, replaced by a feeling of cherishment.She bit her lip lightly, her expression became serious unconsciously, her eyes focused on the titles of the lanterns, and she scanned every line of words carefully.

The theme of the lantern is surprisingly simple.Bi Luo didn’t know many words, and they were all taught by her mother-in-law. She thought she would make a fool of herself in front of Huo Sui, but she didn’t expect that the answers to the puzzles were all items that she often came into contact with as a maid.All the first nine lanterns Biluo answered correctly, and now only the last one is left.

——A little bird flies over thousands of mountains and brings back a sentence.Guess an animal.

Her eyes lit up and she answered without hesitation, with a hint of confidence in her tone, “Is it an eagle?”

Huo Sui, who knew the answer to the riddle, paused for a moment, then quickly reacted and praised: “It’s really amazing. The questions here are difficult for many people. I didn’t expect you to guess it so easily.”

He couldn’t explain why, but at that moment, he just didn’t want to see her rare flicker of light go out.

“I owe you the reward now, and I will replenish it for you next time.” He raised his eyebrows, with a bit of teasing in his eyes, and his whole person exuded the wanton spirit of a young general.

The ostrich girl’s face seemed to be a little redder.

“Let’s go.” He raised his lips and smiled, with a tone that could not be refused. “I have to prepare for the next step. You can come with me.”

The wind blew gently, quietly blowing a lantern, and the answer to the riddle on the lamp surface suddenly revealed two characters written in a rather scrawled manner.

– homing pigeon.
