Qin Rushuang admitted that she had seen many people lying down to her, and it was not the first time that others had accepted her, but Xie Xun was the only one who did this.
He had already made his attitude so humble. It was just a drink and it was not a big deal. Naturally, Qin Rushuang would not let him sit on a pony like this.
Seeing him looking at her with shining eyes, Qin Rushuang couldn't bear it anymore and finally asked him to stand up.
"Who are you showing this to? Get up and sit here and drink together."
There was three parts impatience and seven parts helplessness in her tone.
Xie Xun is indeed what Qin Rushuang thought.
After experiencing so many things, the so-called face has long been forgotten. What is the use of face in front of Qin Rushuang?
He couldn't get her to smile.
So when he heard Qin Rushuang calling him to get up and sit down at the table to drink with her, he naturally followed the stick happily and hurriedly sat down opposite Qin Rushuang.
He poured wine for Qin Rushuang diligently, pushed the wine glass in front of Qin Rushuang, and looked at Qin Rushuang expectantly, "How does it taste?"
Qin Rushuang raised the wine glass. The glass was very small, with only a small sip in it.
She drank it all in one gulp, and the rich and fragrant taste filled her mouth.
Qin Rushuang tasted it for a moment, then nodded under Xie Xun's expectant and anxious eyes and said, "It is indeed a good wine."
"If you like it, then I will feel at ease."
Next, we have a cup for you and a cup for me, drinking the pot of sixteen-year-old wine in the night wind.
It seemed that because of its age, the wine had a lot of stamina. After drinking another glass, Qin Rushuang felt a little tipsy, but she couldn't bear the sweet aftertaste.
She picked up the jug and wanted to pour herself a glass, but found that the jug was already empty.
Xie Xun looked at her slightly disappointed eyes and suddenly became bolder for some reason.
Just when Qin Rushuang felt regretful, she felt something cold touch her lips.
Looking down, it was Xie Xun who raised his own wine glass and handed it to her mouth.
"Last drink, drink."
Xie Xun was tall, so he stood up and leaned over slightly.
Holding the edge of the table with one hand and holding the wine glass with the other, Qin Rushuang felt that the moonlight that originally shone on her face was blocked by something. When she raised her head, she saw Xie Xun approaching with a slight sense of oppression.
Gazing across Xie Xun's eager eyes, the sense of oppression faded away again.
It's her illusion.
This person at this time...
It's more like a big dog that pleases its owner.
It is said that the atmosphere has reached a point where everyone gets drunk without being drunk. This is obviously not the case with Qin Rushuang now.
She was really drunk.
The body's instinctive resistance to Xie Xun seemed to have dissipated a lot. I don't know what I was thinking, but I just drank the last glass of wine with Xie Xun's hand.
After finishing the last glass, her eyes were a little confused.
When she raised her head, Xie Xun's hand touched her lips;
When she raised her eyes, she saw his eyes again.
For a moment, I didn't know whether it was the fingers on my lips that were hotter, or his eyes.
As if being burned by that scorching gaze, Qin Rushuang suddenly felt that she had sobered up from the wine.
She suddenly stood up.
"It's late. Your Majesty, please rest early. Thank you for your hospitality today."
After that, without waiting for Xie Xun to answer, he turned around and left.
Xie Xun still maintained his original leaning posture, savoring the warm touch of his fingers.
He had almost forgotten the last time he was close to Qin Rushuang.
The heart beats very fast.
Plop, plop, plop.
The blood seemed to flow from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
That was a feeling he had never felt before.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be intimately connected with someone you love to the core.
He suddenly felt that he understood what love between a man and a woman felt like.
At that moment, what makes you a beautiful woman in anger; what makes you die under a peony flower, and you are like a ghost; what is willing to be a winged bird in the sky and willing to be a twig on the ground...
Those messy allusions that described love were flying through his mind like snowflakes, but he felt that none of them fit his mood at the moment.
Eventually, this hot and messy thoughts slowly calmed down.
Eventually, even the heartbeat became longer.
And there was only one thought left in his mind.
If he had to describe his mood at the moment and his desire to break through the sky, it might be...
I will depend on you for the rest of my life.
The mountains are heavy and the rivers are heavy, but we will never change until death.
…
The second day.
When Qin Rushuang woke up, she didn't feel any physical discomfort, nor did she have a hangover headache.
But Qin Rushuang still felt a little confused in her mind.
It's not a mess.
I just think there are some things that maybe she should control a little bit.
The wine Xie Xun brought was very good and she liked it very much.
But Xie Xun is so close...
She should probably get out of the way.
After washing, Qin Rushuang called Bai Ji.
She asked Bai Ji to choose a few gifts for the newborn from the warehouse and ordered him to take them to Mr. Lin Ge's house.
"I just want to say congratulations to Mr. Lin Ge on his upcoming golden grandson. As soon as we go to Nanman, we don't know when we will come back, so I sent the gift first to remind him not to forget his agreement with me."
Bai Ji still looked taciturn.
After saying yes, he hurriedly went to the warehouse to find the old butler.
Also on the afternoon of this day, Emperor Qi ordered Xie Xun to set off for Nanman and recover the lost land of Qi.
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun were not surprised by this imperial edict, it was just a matter of time.
Almost no generals, not even Xie Xun himself, have ever been to that mysterious and remote place in the Nanman.
It's not that no one wants to take this opportunity to achieve some military exploits, but they also have to consider whether they are destined to go or not to come back.
In the end, Emperor Qi had to hand over this difficult task to Xie Xun.
Emperor Qi's imperial edict was made with reluctance, and it even contained words of warning, rather than encouragement for him to go on an expedition.
The general meaning is that I know you are capable, but the mysteries of the Southern Barbarians should not be taken lightly. Now that the national treasury is in urgent need, the journey will be long, and the troops and horses can only be allocated so much...
Finally, he said something weirdly: The Southern Barbarian King was supposed to enjoy his old age in his own land in the south, but he had thoughts that he shouldn't have. Let Xie Xun fight this battle well so that he knows that he has thoughts that he shouldn't have.
, what price will be paid.
Rather than saying this to the Nanman King, it is better to say it to Xie Xun.
Tell Xie Xun, you should have gone to your own fiefdom to live a peaceful life. If you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, I will make you look good.
But now Emperor Qi can only threaten Xie Xun verbally.
Neither Xie Xun nor Qin Rushuang took the warning in this imperial edict to heart.
If they were really afraid of Emperor Qi, they would not have asked to go to the Southern Barbarians at this time.
The expedition to the South Gate was finally put on their agenda.
