Chapter 233 He Pretended
Yao Jia quickly put her clothes in order. Fortunately, she was not stained with filth. She glared at Gu Xiyan and cursed inwardly, "You are so nosy."
Walk to the stream, squat down and wash your hands.
Gu Xiyan sighed, secretly hating himself for being so reckless.
After washing her hands, Yao Jia stood up, glanced at Gu Xiyan's back, snorted, and prepared to return to the tent to rest.
"Jia Jia, I..." Gu Xiyan wanted to explain something, but when he saw her unhappy expression, he was suddenly speechless.
Yao Jia was in a bad mood along the way. When she saw a stone in the way on the roadside, she mistook it for Gu Xiyan's head and kicked it forward.
Who knew that the stone was a hard piece of wood with most of its body buried in the ground.
He gasped, hugged one foot, grimaced, and fell to the ground.
Damn it!
Even stones bully her!
"What's wrong?" Gu Xiyan hurried forward and squatted down to check her feet.
Yao Jia was in so much pain that her eyes were filled with tears. When she saw him, she became even more furious. She raised her hand to push him away, "What do you care? Go away!"
Gu Xiyan didn't move, lifted her feet, took off her shoes and socks, and immediately frowned.
The big toe, which was originally delicate and round, was now black and blue, with a trace of blood oozing from the nail.
"I'm sorry..." Gu Xiyan blamed himself.
Yao Jia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she tried to pull her foot out of his hand, but he grabbed her by the waist and said, "I'll take you to apply the medicine."
Yao Jia kicked her legs and asked him to put her down.
"This is just a minor injury, there's no need to apply medicine. Put me down, I can walk on my own."
Gu Xiyan ignored her and held her tightly in his arms as he walked towards the camp.
Yao Jia was held tightly by him, unable to move. She could only turn her head to the side and not look at him.
After entering the tent, he laid her on the couch, squatted down, carefully wiped her wounds, took out the ointment, and gently applied it on her toes.
During the whole process, although Yao Jia did not resist, her eyes stared at him coldly.
Gu Xiyan could naturally feel that piercing gaze. He pursed his lips tightly, calmed the turmoil and struggle in his heart, raised his head, and looked at her calmly.
"Jia Jia, if I say I won't force it, will your attitude towards me... change?"
Yao Jia was startled and frowned, "What do you mean?"
Gu Xiyan took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, closed his eyes, hid the deep sorrow in his pupils, opened his eyes, and said softly: "From now on, I will no longer be obsessed with you, let you go, you are the Pavilion Master Nangong, I am General Pingliang, we are just colleagues from Daxia, how about it?"
Yao Jia was half-believing and half-doubting. In his previous life, he was very good at acting.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly, wondering why she always distrusted him.
He walked to the burning candle and took out the marriage certificate from his arms, which had been read countless times and was a little wrinkled.
He raised his hand and lit the marriage certificate on fire. Looking at the dark red marriage certificate being gradually swallowed by the flames, the reluctance and grief in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
"Now... you should believe it." He tried his best to control his breathing, but his voice was still choked.
When the marriage certificate was burned to ashes, he took a deep breath and looked back at Yao Jia who was standing in a daze.
"Pavilion Master Nangong, I hope you find a good match and live a happy life."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the tent and quickly returned to his residence.
It was not until he had left for a long time that Yao Jia came back to her senses from her shock. She looked at the ashes on the ground and frowned.
Gan!
He was tricked.
Why do I feel like I've been dumped?
Yao Jia rubbed her sore eyes, took off her coat, and lay down on the bed.
Staring at the empty tent ceiling, she felt mixed emotions. Logically, she should have felt relieved after the marriage certificate was burned, but why did she feel so empty in her heart now?
Shake your head, why are you thinking about these things now?
There were still a lot of things that had not been dealt with in front of her. She tried hard to recall the method of deduction that Nanshan had explained to her today, and her mind gradually became confused.
My eyelids started to droop and I fell into a deep sleep...
The next morning, Yao Jia limped out of the tent, and Gu Xiyan walked towards her with a tray of food.
"The master's legs are not very strong, so he should have his meal in the tent. After the meal, the caravan will set off."
Yao Jia: …………
"I'm very nimble on my feet."
He turned around and limped back to the tent.
Gu Xiyan pursed her lips, followed him in, and put the food on the table, "After Pavilion Master finishes eating, I will come in and take it away."
Yao Jia picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said coldly: "Don't do that. It's better not to bother General Gu to come here in person for such a small matter. Just find a personal soldier."
"Master, you are too polite. I am entrusted by Brother Nan to take good care of you."
Yao Jia sneered. When did the two of them become so close that she even asked Gu Xiyan to take care of her.
"Brother Nan was just being polite. General Gu doesn't have to take it to heart."
"Master, since I have agreed, I must keep my promise and not neglect it."
"you……"
Yao Jia gritted her teeth, wondering when did this guy learn to be so eloquent.
Pointing at the curtain, he scolded: "Get out... don't disturb my appetite."
Gu Xiyan followed his instructions and walked out.
Yao Jia poked the chopsticks hard into the rice, wishing that this bowl of rice was Gu Xiyan's body and she could poke a hundred holes in him.
During the rest of the journey, the two of them remained distant until the team arrived at Crescent City.
Xinyue City is surrounded by the sea on both sides, bordering Daxia to the east and Liang State to the west. It is a unique existence and does not belong to any country. The city mainly makes a living by various entertainment projects.
The prosperity of Xinyue City is no less than that of Daxia Kyoto. There are shops lining both sides of the street, pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream, and countless merchants coming and going from the south and the north.
Yao Jia looked at the bustling city with a relaxed look on her face.
While Ye Sinan is not here, I'll go and relax tonight.
The team marched into the city in a mighty procession and settled down at a post station specially set up to receive the Daxia delegation.
Yao Jia went back to her room, packed up, changed into a casual dress, and prepared to go out.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Gu Xiyan standing in the corridor, with his back to her, his hands behind his back. He had a broad back and his black and red robe fluttered in the wind.
Yao Jia sneered and turned around to go back to her room. Along the way, this man was like a piece of shit, using Ye Sinan's instructions to meddle in her affairs.
Before I reached the door, I heard Gu Xiyan's voice behind me.
"Master, are you going out?"
Yao Jia sighed inwardly, stopped, turned around, and said calmly: "General Gu, is there something wrong?"
Gu Xiyan turned around, looked at her, and smiled faintly: "The Pavilion Master has just arrived, and the terrain of Xinyue City is complicated. It is better for me to accompany the Pavilion Master to prevent the Pavilion Master from getting lost."
Yao Jia rolled her eyes, "I'm not a three-year-old child, how could I get lost?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiyan's smile deepened, "I said the wrong thing. The Pavilion Master will not get lost when he goes out. I just want to ask if the Pavilion Master has any money on him?"
Yao Jia asked back, "You have money."
Gu Xiyan nodded, "When I came here, Master returned all my military pay to me."
Yao Jia's eyes rolled around, and she stepped forward and asked curiously, "How much?"
"About three thousand taels."
Yao Jia wrinkled her nose, "That's a lot."
At best, you can spend a night with a prostitute in the most luxurious brothel.
"Then let's go"
Gu Xiyan nodded slightly, motioning for her to go first.
