223 “Drunken Bones (Ancient Words 1v1 High H)” Fanhua Villa Extra – Luoying
byThe rain seemed to be falling more heavily, and the peach blossoms were swept by the wind, flying all over the sky like rain and mist. The branches hung low, and the fragrance seemed to be more fragrant than before.Two figures leaped and crisscrossed in an open space, their sword energy clashing like wind and thunder, breaking through the moist air around them layer by layer, with a bit of sharpness and calmness as if a mountain rain was about to come.
Huo Sui’s eyes narrowed, and all the careless smiles on his lips suddenly disappeared.The edge of the sword turned, and he used three real military moves in a row, pressing forward step by step towards Xie Ciyan.”The conditions offered by my Luoluo family are really too tempting, so…” He took another inch closer with his sword, “I can’t give in to you this time.”
Xie Ciyan raised his wrist and stretched out his silver sword. He blocked a stabbing move and took half a step back. However, he did not give way. Instead, he touched the ground with his toes and turned around with the force of his sword. The sword was like a rainbow, switching from defense to offense.”It’s as if your previous failures were all caused by your humility.” The smile that had not yet been lifted at the corner of his mouth suddenly turned into a slight sneer, “Your memory is getting worse and worse.”
As the two went back and forth, what was originally a joke-like exchange gradually heated up and turned into an evenly matched actual battle.In the wind and rain, the clothes of the two men were flying, and the sword light was shining, causing petals to be swept up into the air, and then fell down, falling on the shoulders of the two men and the blade of the sword. The two black figures intertwined with each other. It was not clear who was who for a moment, but it was like a gorgeous and silent war dance. For a moment, people couldn’t take their eyes away.
On the pavilion, Bi Luo had already tightened her cuffs unconsciously and did not dare to blink.She knew that Huo Sui’s temperament had always been lazy and casual, but when he got serious, he also showed a bit of chilling ruthlessness. At this moment, the laziness between his eyebrows had completely faded, and a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes, with a strong sword aura, as if he had returned to the famous young general in the prosperous country.
Long victory general.
“How…how can we finish the competition?” She murmured, with worry in her tone.
Yan Zhaozhao also held her breath and concentrated, her eyes tightly locked on the two people with flying hair in the field.The innocent smile that seemed inevitable at the corner of his lips gradually faded away at this moment, and the fingertips holding the tea cup felt a little tighter.Her original intention was just to tease Bi Luo, but now she saw Xie Ciyan making every move so seriously, just fighting for the victory, and she felt a sense of inexplicable distress in her heart.She understood the deep friendship between their brothers, and she didn’t want to see them tampering with their true feelings just for a mere lucky draw.
She was about to speak to stop him, but she saw Huo Sui in the field using his backhand to take advantage of the slippery terrain to take a step closer, flipping his long sword, and just as he was about to make a stab, Xie Ciyan suddenly chuckled, stepped back slightly, and raised his silver sword – the two people’s moves unexpectedly stopped at the same time.
The wind passed, the rain stopped, and the peach blossoms fell like snow.They looked at each other for a moment, and each saw the unfinished thoughts in the other’s eyes, as well as the tacit understanding that they did not want to truly decide the winner.
“Forget it, general, I’m tired, I’ll let you go this time.” Huo Sui raised his hand to sweep away the wet hair from his forehead, still laughing wildly while breathing.
Xie Ciyan brushed away a peach blossom that fell on his shoulder, but still stood upright, as if the competition just now had not consumed him at all, but the faint rise and fall in his chest had given him away completely.His voice still pretended to be low and steady, “It’s my turn to say it, and I won’t be as merciless as I was today when we fight next time.”
“Hey, you are really unforgiving at all.” Huo Sui shrugged and tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, as if he had sacrificed something important. “I gave up the temptation Luoluo gave me, but you still take advantage of me and still behave like this.”
Xie Ciyan glanced at him, and her tone was a bit cooler than the wind, “I also gave up Zhaozhao’s temptation, but you are not grateful at all.”
Huo Sui was speechless for a moment, a breath choked in his throat, and he glared at the current emperor fiercely.But the moment their eyes met, the two men looked at each other and smiled, as if they were back in their youthful days when they were unruly and free-spirited, laughing and scolding at the same time.
On the pavilion, the two women were stunned for a moment. After a while, they almost breathed out a sigh of relief at the same time, and their nervous expressions turned into smiles.Bi Luo patted her chest lightly and murmured softly, “It really scared me to death…”
Yan Zhaozhao suddenly smiled, took a sip of the slightly cold tea, and then shouted to Xie Ciyan on the other end: “My Mr. Xie performed extremely well today, and the lottery I just mentioned is your reward!”
Hearing Qing’s soft voice in his heart, Xie Ciyan felt his whole body feel relaxed, and all the tiredness from the competition just now dissipated in an instant, turning into a light floral fragrance that lingered around him.He glanced at the woman in crimson clothes at the pavilion with longing eyes. When he saw her bright smile, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a seductive arc, and then he glanced at Huo Sui smugly.
Those eyes seemed to be saying to the poor man – look, even if he doesn’t win, he still has luck.
The peach blossoms are falling, and the wind and rain have stopped.
There was only one man who was still standing in the drizzle. He looked pitiful, like a puppy abandoned by his owner. His long ears drooped down, but he could not hide his eyes that contained expectation.
Bi Luo, who had been staring closely at Huo Sui, immediately noticed his emotions, covered her mouth and chuckled, then walked out of the pavilion. She stood beside him and took out an embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe away the water droplets and sweat on his forehead. Seeing that Xie Ciyan had already walked to the pavilion and no one was paying attention to them, she quietly placed a quick kiss on his face.”The lottery…I’ll give it to you too.”
When Huo Dagou heard this, his droopy eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in surprise, “Seriously?!”
Bi Luo was startled by him, raised her hand and hit him on the shoulder, “Keep your voice down.” Looking at his face with wild eyebrows, her cheeks couldn’t help but flush a little more, and she muttered with some embarrassment, “You are the one I love, even if you haven’t won, in my heart… you are the most charming man.”
If Huo Wei really had a long, fluffy tail, it would have been swaying like a colorful ribbon flying in the wind.His expression became more and more arrogant, and there was unconcealable pride in his eyes. He was so excited that he suddenly bent down and picked up the shy Bi Luo by the waist, and walked quickly into the pavilion.The bright expression on that face seemed to have the words – I also have a lucky draw written on it.
Bi Luo’s heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly called to Huo Sui to put her down, but instead of listening, he walked around the pavilion wantonly before slowly putting her down.The man was not upset after being hit. Instead, he smiled even more happily. He bent down and carefully checked whether she had been wet by the rain. He was so shocked that he didn’t realize that it was still drizzling outside.
Fortunately, she didn’t go out for long, the rain gradually stopped, and there were no water stains left by the rain on her body.Huo Sui felt relieved and hurriedly turned his head to find the beautiful Xie Ciyan in his arms. He couldn’t wait to raise his eyebrows at him, provoking him as always.
Xie Ciyan suddenly laughed angrily. He was about to say something, but was pulled back by a soft word from Xin Shangqing in his arms.She was carefully wiping away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, while her other hand still did not forget to quietly stir up the clusters of flames on his body inch by inch.
“Zhaozhao, you…”
Seeing the man’s eyes falling on her troublesome hand, she didn’t feel embarrassed at all, and even said confidently: “Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not being scornful of you, I’m just trying to warm you up.”
“Oh?” Xie Ciyan heard such a fresh reason for the first time, and couldn’t help but feel a little interested, “Why is it warm?”
Yan Zhaozhao glared at him, and her soft voice whispered in his ear, “My palms are warm. Touching you like this is to keep you warm. Don’t be so ignorant, Xie Langjun…”
Xie Ciyan’s eyes dimmed for a moment, his cool palms covered her slender waist, and he pulled her into his arms, his voice low and hoarse, “I don’t think I can keep my body warm through clothes like this, why not… go back to the Nuan Pavilion and take off my clothes first?” A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his black eyes were tinged with charm, “I can get the lottery by the way.”
Yan Zhaozhao deliberately wanted to seduce Xie Ciyan, stretched out her index finger and tapped his chest, then slowly pushed the man away, and blinked at him with her twinkling eyes, “You are not allowed… to show off your prostitution in the daytime.”
“Hey, so do you win this round or me?” Huo Lingyuan, who was hiding in the grass on one side, couldn’t help but rub his elbow anxiously with Xie Jinyu, who was being pulled out to play next to him. He glanced at his parents who were mourning in the pavilion not far away, and couldn’t help complaining, with a tone of hatred that can’t make steel. “There’s no reason to not fight even half the time. Isn’t this a joke!”
Xie Jinyu put his hand on his chin and thought carefully for a long time before speaking slowly, “There is no winner or loser, so we can only distinguish winner and loser by height.” He straightened up slightly and made gestures with his palms on his and Huo Lingyuan’s heads, “I am taller than you, so I win this round.”
After saying that, he nodded secretly, thinking that he was right.”Tonight, remember to come to my room and copy books.”
Huo Lingyuan, who suddenly felt a headache when he heard copying books, stood up and retorted subconsciously, “Why?! We should let them compete again!”
Huo Lingyuan had a righteous look on his face, as if he simply wanted to decide the winner.But Xie Jinyu saw it clearly and said calmly, “You just don’t want to copy the book.”
“What are you two doing hiding here?”
A deep voice suddenly sounded from the top of his head. Huo Lingyuan paused, slowly raised his head, and suddenly met Xie Ciyan’s deep, ink-like eyes.The man was much taller than them. Looking up from below, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him exuded an aura of calmness and self-reliance. He knew that he was guilty, so he shrank back and did not dare to say anything, just like the little rabbit who was caught doing bad things.
“I, we… just want to see who of you will win.” He explained hesitantly, his dark eyes rolling around, and finally he had to cast his eyes for help on Huo Sui, who was walking towards here.”Dad, tell me, how could you give up halfway through the competition!”
Xie Ciyan cast his gaze on Xie Jinyu, who was still calm and composed. The little prince suddenly felt a chill on his back, but remained calm and blinked, “I had finished the homework assigned by the master this morning and was about to copy the books. Unexpectedly, Huo Lingyuan dragged me out to watch the excitement.”
Hearing this, Xie Ciyan raised his eyebrows and glanced slightly at Huo Lingyuan, who was already being held by his own father. A faint smile seemed to flash across his eyes.”Well done, I’ll reward you with snacks tonight.”
Xie Jinyu was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Ciyan in shock, and murmured, “Father…”
Xie Ciyan sighed softly, casually took his son into his arms, brushed the grass clippings and flower petals from his shoulders, and said in a gentler tone, “I brought you here because I want you to see the world outside the palace. It is different from the strictly regulated palace there. If you are trapped in the palace forever, and everything you see and hear comes from books, how can you understand the real scenery and people in this world?”
He looked down at the young man in his arms, gently stroked the top of his neat black hair with his fingertips, and softened his eyes, “I know you want to take on the responsibility of the prince sooner, but in addition to this identity, I hope you can have a youthful time that truly belongs to you.”
Xie Jinyu pondered for a long time, seeming to be thinking about what his father said.Immediately, his eyes brightened, “Then, father, can you compete with Uncle Huo again?” He glanced at the little boy beside him, and said slowly: “Huo Lingyuan wants to copy the book for me if he loses.”
