Conspiracy

Chapter 206
In a daze, she didn't know how long she had been asleep. Su Zhen kept reincarnating in her dream and saw the scene where she was struck to death by lightning in her previous life. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Suffering the power of thunder calamity over and over again, she was in agony.

"Damn fox! I must fry you ten thousand times!"

With a loud roar, Su Zhen sat up suddenly from the bed.Because he hadn't completely escaped from the dream, the murderous intent and anger on his face directly fell into the eyes of the man not far away.

After a few breaths, Su Zhen finally came to her senses, looked at the strange black bed curtain and brocade quilt above her head, rubbed her temples, and asked casually, "Mo Sheng, where is this?"

"My bedroom."

Hearing this voice, Su Zhen stopped her movements, turned her head away stiffly, and realized that this is really not her Jinsexuan.

The light in the room is slightly dim, and the red sandalwood shelf on the right is full of military books.On the left front wall is a scarlet hollow window, and the long table below is covered with fine brocade. In addition to the four treasures of the study, there is also the black jade Buddha statue that was glimpsed in Xiao Chuhong's carriage earlier.

Sitting on the futon behind the table, Xiao Chuhong looked through the military books. From Su Zhen's perspective, he noticed that he had put away the cold breath that was all over his body during the day.The hazy yellow candlelight reflected on his sharp-edged side face, revealing a hint of softness, as if he no longer rejected people thousands of miles away.

"General Xiao? This is the General's Mansion?! You saved me?"

"Ah."

Xiao Chuhong's light tone made Su Zhen doubtful, but she didn't know where to ask.

She scratched her head and smiled, sweet to the bone.

Looking at her clean smile, Xiao Chuhong suddenly thought of the cruel Su Zhen that he saw in that house earlier.

"General Er Xiao, thank you for saving your life."

She lifted the brocade quilt, sat up on the bed, and found that only her middle coat was left on her body, she was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Huh? Where are my clothes?!"

"Dirty and burnt."

With three simple words, Su Zhen was struck by lightning, "What? Burned?! Me. Me. You. My clothes, this. That"

Seeing her at a loss and stuttering, Xiao Chuhong held back a smile, "I just took off your robe, I wanted to change your dressing, but you were punching and kicking in your sleep, so I had no choice but to let it go."

A huge stone fell from Su Zhen's heart, her crimson lips were lightly pursed, her lips were as sweet as a dandelion, "By the way, General Xiao, how could it be you who saved me?"

"On the way back from Jiyuefang, I heard that someone met an assassin. I blindly guessed that something happened to you." Xiao Chuhong paused, "Unexpectedly, I didn't hear the little song from Jiyuefang girl tonight. Zhenzhen, you let the general watch a good show."

Su Zhen's ears felt a little hot because of guilty conscience, so she decided to strike first, and said confidently, "Since you've been here all this time, why didn't you come out to save us!"

Xiao Chuhong put the military book on the table, stood up from the wheelchair, and walked slowly towards Su Zhen.

The tall figure stood in front of the bed, Su Zhen's expression became serious, she looked at him vigilantly, her hands hidden in her sleeves were ready to attack.

Xiao Chuhong suddenly bent down, supported the bed with both hands, pulled Su Zhen halfway into his arms, looked down at her with sarcasm in his eyes, and a warm and teasing voice passed by her ears.

"If I make a move, won't I be able to see with my own eyes the true strength of our Eldest Young Master Su?"

Su Zhen's ears were hot, she leaned down uncomfortably, her eyes flickered, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Those Taoist priests have powerful spells, but you can kill them all by yourself. It seems that I still underestimated you."

"Didn't the general know that I knew the art of Xuanhuang? It's just that I didn't say that I knew a little bit about it, or that I had superb spells."

Xiao Chuhong smiled lightly, without denying it, "Didn't you call me Brother Yue in Jiyuefang before? Why is there no one in private now, and you are unfamiliar? You deliberately smeared the general's reputation, should you be punished?"

Su Zhen laughed dryly, "Uh, that one just wanted to play a joke on the general."

"joke?"

Xiao Chuhong narrowed his eyes slightly, full of danger.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm cheap, don't be serious with me. You see, it's not too early, I'll go back to the mansion first, and I'll thank you for saving my life another day."

Su Zhen's eyes were erratic, and she wanted to get out from under Xiao Chuhong's arms, but he grabbed her wrist.

"General, what's the matter? What else do you want?" She smiled obsequiously.

"It's cool at night."

Xiao Chuhong took off his robe and put it on her body.

Due to the large difference in body size between the two, the robe directly wrapped her body completely, and the chill on her body was also dissipated a lot.

Su Zhen's heart warmed, she lowered her head, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you keep helping me in secret?"

"If you hadn't donated the medicine back then, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Even so, I am afraid that only he himself knows what Xiao Chuhong thinks in his heart.

"I thought that when you came back this time, you would clear Marshal Xiao's name with great fanfare. Back then, those people turned a deaf ear to his achievements, and even tried their best to spread rumors and abuse him. They should get the punishment they deserve and pay for their words and deeds." Pay the price."

When Xiao Chuhong heard this, he seemed to smile lightly, very bitter, helpless, and tired, but not angry.It seems that he has already tempered his heart ten thousand times, polishing it until it is invulnerable to all poisons, invulnerable to swords and guns.

"I have never been away from the hustle and bustle, and I have always been in the whirlpool. They don't care about the truth at all, they just want me to die."

His tone was downplaying, but Su Zhen's heart was inexplicably hurt.

"It's okay, you are not alone. Even if the world falls, we will accompany you."

Su Zhen's voice was rare and gentle. From this moment, Xiao Chuhong knew that after eight years of guardianship, there was no wrong payment after all.

"Zhenzhen, before I met you, what was the real you like?"

"Eh, well done, general, why would you ask such a question? I am who I am, and I can show what outsiders want to see."

"Then am I an outsider?"

Xiao Chuhong's sudden question made her feel a little at a loss, "You are...you are, I don't know what to say, anyway, you have entered my circle."

"Circles?"

Xiao Chuhong's voice was very deep, and he chewed these two words repeatedly in his heart.

"Yeah, I once gave up everything and made the earth a prison. Now I am too greedy for the beauty of this world. And you just happened to get into the circle I made a prison for. General, you have to be careful, if you If you dare to stab me, I will kick you out of my circle at any time."

Xiao Chuhong raised his sword eyebrows, and held Su Zhen's ankle with his thick hands. Through the material of the clothes, Su Zhen could feel the calluses and warmth in his palms.

He lowered his head even lower, and whispered in her ear, "I kindly advise you, it's best to stop this idea early."

Su Zhen's body was stiff, she looked straight into his eyes, her own face was reflected in those star-like pupils.She could clearly feel the friendliness and kindness released by him.

"When I return to the capital this time, anyone associated with me will definitely not be let go by the Qinwang Party. However, he is concerned about the [-] Xiao family army, so he will not attack too blatantly. But as long as I am alive for a day, I can protect you One day."

It's not that he doesn't know that Su Zhen has Taifu Mansion and Jiyuefang behind him, and Lin'an Marquis Mansion is behind her, but he just wants to use his own way to keep Su Zhen.
