Chapter 213 Xiao Zhuo and Su Rao

Just talking about appearance and facial features, for Song Qinghuan who is used to seeing beautiful men, Xiao Zhuo is not outstanding.

However, he carried an indescribable aura that made people's eyes firmly fixed on him, and they couldn't move their eyes away.

Narrow and long eyes, the corners of the eyes flying slantingly, the sword eyebrows are drawn into the temples, the thin lips are pursed into a straight line, and the angular chin is slightly raised, with a chilling arrogance, which is the cold light that can only be obtained after countless fights on the battlefield.

If Shen Chuhan is the snow of the polar region, it will not melt for thousands of years, and it will be icy cold.Xiao Zhuo, however, was more like a towering mountain, steep and menacing, with sharp edges and corners.

Song Qinghuan's eyes were fixed on him, without blinking, seeing Xiao Zhuo galloping right below them, as if he had a feeling in his heart, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the half-opened window.

Seeing Song Qinghuan's beautiful face hidden behind the window, he frowned, his eyes were slightly suspicious, his eyes swept away, and fell on Shen Chuhan who was beside Song Qinghuan, his frowning suddenly loosened, and a stream of light leaked from his eyes.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he turned his eyes again, looked back at Song Qinghuan, with a dazed expression in his eyes, and looked back at Shen Chuhan again, a smile flashed across his lips.

Shen Chuhan returned a faint smile, his eyes were dark and deep, and his expression was much softer.

In order to prevent people from seeing the clue, Xiao Zhuo quickly retracted his gaze and looked forward.

At this time, someone in the crowd recognized Xiao Zhuo who was on the horse, and exclaimed, "This is General Xiao!"

"It's really General Xiao!"

The people on the side of the road began to commotion.

Liang Country was a martial artist, Xiao Zhuo guarded the border, and led the southwest army to repel several Zhao Country attacks. To the people of Liang Country, he was like a God of War.

However, Xiao Zhuo has been stationed in the southwestern border all year round and rarely came to Shengjing. At this moment, when he suddenly saw his true face, the people were all excited and rushed towards Xiao Zhuo like a tide.

Before Xiao Zhuo could react, he got off his horse and was surrounded by fanatical people, unable to move.

He wanted to drive the horse straight, but he was afraid of accidentally hurting the people, so he froze on the spot for a while, not knowing what to do, the expression on his face became more and more tense, and the group of soldiers behind him was also blocked in place, unable to move forward.

Song Qinghuan frowned slightly.

Xiao Zhuo was so popular, Yin Zhan was already suspicious, if this scene reached his ears, it would inevitably touch his sensitive nerves again.

"Ashu..." She slowly opened her lips, and looked at Shen Chuhan worriedly.

Shen Chuhan naturally understood her concerns, his brows were fixed, and he beckoned Mu Bai who was behind him to come forward and whisper a few words.

Mu Bai understood, and exited the room after saluting.

Knowing that Shen Chuhan had an idea, Song Qinghuan calmed down slightly, took a sip from the tea cup, and stared at the situation on the street without blinking.

After a while, the enthusiasm of the people did not fade at all. They raised their hands high and called Xiao Zhuo's name excitedly, and Xiao Zhuo's expression became more and more helpless.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly yelled——

"The Royal Army is here! Run!"

"The Imperial Forest Army is here! The Imperial Forest Army is here to arrest people!"

The State of Yu has the Yulin Army and the Qimen Cavalry, the State of Chen has the Xuanjia Army, and the State of Zhao is responsible for guarding the imperial city's army, called the Yulin Army, which is directly under the command of Emperor Liang, but Shen Chuhan also secretly deployed a lot of people.

After Yin Zhan succeeded to the throne, he used iron and blood methods to suppress many people who were dissatisfied with his rule. Among them, the Imperial Forest Army played an indelible role.For the people of Shengjing, the Imperial Forest Army is definitely an existence worth fearing.

Therefore, when they heard someone yelling in panic, everyone panicked and left Xiao Zhuo's mount one after another, running around, but after a while, the crowd of onlookers left completely.

Song Qinghuan stared dumbfounded, quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, the Imperial Forest Army has such a deterrent effect on the people of Shengjing. It seems that Yin Zhan often uses the hands of the Imperial Forest Army to implement his own high-pressure policy.

Xiao Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, as if realizing something, he pretended to casually look up at Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan, then curled up his ring finger and little finger, and raised his right hand to touch the left shoulder blade.

Soon, he swung his whip and galloped away, and the team behind him also beat their horses to keep up, raising waves of hustle and bustle.

Seeing Xiao Zhuo's figure disappear from sight, Song Qinghuan got up and closed the window, looked up at Shen Chuhan, imitated Xiao Zhuo's action just now, and asked with a light smile, "What does this mean?"

Shen Chuhan hooked the corners of his lips, "When I was young, I was naughty and often got into trouble. Xiao Zhuo took the blame for me a lot. Every time I managed to escape punishment under the eyes of my mother and concubine, the two of us would make this hand gesture, which means thank you And the meaning of everything is going well, it’s a little code that only the two of us know.”

When he said this, there was a sparkle in his eyes, and his eyes were distant and long.

Even though she had known and loved Shen Chuhan for two lifetimes, Song Qinghuan seldom heard him talk about her childhood.About, those days were the darkest time in his life, and every time he thinks about it, his heart is chilled.

In the bottom of everyone's heart, there is a past that they want to hide and seal.

As for Xiao Zhuo, it was probably the only light that supported Shen Chuhan to go on in those dark days.Sometimes she would think, God is not unfeeling to Shen Chuhan, let Xiao Zhuo, Ye Laowei, Ji Liuyun, Ye Luo have such warmth in his life.

Otherwise, the current Shen Chuhan would probably be more ruthless.

In her previous life, she didn't have much contact with Xiao Zhuo, only a few times.

In fact, Xiao Zhuo didn't like her at first.

There is no other reason, but because he felt that Shen Chuhan lost his mind because of him, not only blatantly took away Emperor Liang's wife, but also because he raised his troops in advance to revolt.

Fortunately, they managed to return to Zhao Kingdom in the end, but the process was extremely dangerous.

At that time, although Xiao Zhuo didn't like her, she was not bored with Xiao Zhuo.After all, no matter what, his starting point was for the good of Shen Chuhan.

Xu thought of this, Shen Chuhan raised his eyes, and the look in his eyes became warmer, "Ah Wan, I know that Xiao Zhuo misunderstood you in the previous life...but don't worry, in this life, I will never let him misunderstand you again .”

Song Qinghuan smiled slightly, with a soft and calm expression, "I know that his last life was for your own good, so you don't have to feel sorry, and I don't have any prejudice against Xiao Zhuo."

Shen Chuhan's brows and eyes relaxed, and the corners of his lips curled up, "I also know that Ah Wan has always been for my own good." With a cheerful expression and a gentle tone, he just looked at her with a smile like that.

"However, if he is still as indiscriminate as before, I won't give him good looks for your sake." Song Qinghuan's red lips slightly curled up, her tone was casual, and she looked at Shen Chuhan with Lingling Guanghua in her eyes.

"Of course." Shen Chuhan hurriedly stated, "Don't talk about you, even I am the first one who can't spare him."

"When will you meet?"

"Since he's back, he must attend the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. Therefore, we will meet before New Year's Eve."

"Is it convenient to take me with you?" Song Qinghuan's brows and eyes lit up.

"Naturally." Shen Chuhan smiled, looking at the confusion in Song Qinghuan's eyes, "Even if you don't tell me, I will take you with me." After a pause, "Xiao Zhuo said in the letter, looking forward to seeing you you."

Song Qinghuan smiled lightly at Liu Guang, thinking of Xiao Zhuo's figure riding away on horseback, and said in a low voice, "To each other."

"Let's go, go back to the mansion first." Song Qinghuan withdrew her thoughts, stood up leisurely, looked at Shen Chuhan with a faint smile, and stretched out her hand.

Shen Chuhan put his hand into hers, raised his lips with a smile, and followed her out of the private room.

*
Sure enough, Shen Chuhan quickly arranged a meeting with Xiao Zhuo, and the location was set at Zuixian Tower.

It was only then that Song Qinghuan realized that Zuixianlou was Shen Chuhan's property.

Both of them have extraordinary identities, if they were found to be going in and out of their respective mansions in private, it would inevitably not cause gossip, so it would be better to meet each other openly in the busy city.There are people coming and going in Zuixianlou every day, even if two people are seen appearing in Zuixianlou at the same time, it will not arouse suspicion.

December 28.

It has entered the severe winter, and the climate is getting colder and colder. The north wind is howling and the chill is bitter.

Shen Chuhan watched Liuyue put on a thick velvet cloak for Song Qinghuan, still hesitating, "Ah Wan, the wind is too strong, why don't you just rest in the mansion today? Xiao Zhuo, I'll make another appointment ?”

Song Qinghuan fastened the tie on the cloak, and refused without thinking, "Baby and I are not that delicate, and the day after tomorrow will be the New Year's Eve banquet. I am really looking forward to meeting Xiao Zhuo before the New Year's Eve banquet."

Shen Chuhan glanced at the whistling weather outside the window, he still had hesitation in his eyes.

"Okay!" Song Qinghuan turned around and looked at him with a smile. "You see, Xiao Zhuo may be prejudiced against me. If I don't go today, it's hard to guarantee that he won't look down on me. Do you think so?"

"What he thinks of you is not important, your body is the most important." Shen Chuhan was protecting the calf as always.

Song Qinghuan became more and more cheerful, "Ashu, I know you love me, but from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Zuixian Tower, you always ride in a carriage. After getting off the carriage, you immediately enter the building. How can you catch the wind and cold?"

She looked at Liuyue, "Bring me another hand stove."

Liuyue responded, took a small sapphire blue enamel stove, filled it with silver charcoal, and handed it to Song Qinghuan.

Song Qinghuan held up the hand stove and waved it to Shen Chuhan, "Don't worry now."

Seeing her persistence, Shen Chuhan couldn't say no anymore, stood up, tightened the cloak on her body, put on the hood, and said helplessly, "Then let's go."

Liu Yue and Shen Xing sent them out of the yard, Fang turned around and turned back.

Shen Chuhan hugged Song Qinghuan tightly in his arms, and walked out of the mansion.

The mounted carriage was already waiting outside the door, seeing the two people coming, Mu Bai jumped out of the carriage, opened the curtain for them, and welcomed them in.

After they sat down firmly, they raised their whips, and the carriage moved slowly towards Zuixianlou.

The carriage was covered with thick felt blankets, and a brazier was lit, as soon as one entered the carriage, there was a rush of heat.

Song Qinghuan took off the cloak, "Ashu has already arranged it so well, there is nothing to worry about."

Shen Chuhan's tone was serious and gloomy, "Ah Wan, I dare not take any risks with you."

Song Qinghuan was helpless.

Shen Chuhan's overprotective desire resurfaced after she became pregnant.

Forget it, let's treat it as a kind of sweet burden.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far from the Drunken Immortal Tower, and after a short time, the speed of the carriage slowed down, raising the curtain to see that Mu Bai had already turned the carriage into the alley next to the Drunken Immortal Tower. There is a back door to enter and exit.

The carriage stopped quickly.

Shen Chuhan put on the cloak for Song Qinghuan, and put on the hood for her, and Fang led her carefully out of the car.

Song Qinghuan took a look, and sure enough, he saw a brown door opened on the front wall.

Mu Bai stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times in a regular manner. Soon, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a man with the appearance of a mistress poked his head out. Seeing that it was Mu Bai, his expression froze and he hurried away. He came out and invited a few people in, and then went to park the carriage without mentioning it.

Entering the backyard of Zuixian Tower, Mu Bai led the two of them from the corridor next to them, all the way to the innermost private room on the third floor.

"Ma'am, this is it." Mu Bai smiled at her, pushed the door open and invited the two of them in.

Song Qinghuan walked into the room with Shen Chuhan.

This Accord is much larger than ordinary Accords, with elegant furnishings, it seems like Shen Chuhan's exclusive Accord.

The pavilion has already been lit with charcoal fire, so it doesn't feel cold.

Because the agreed time has not arrived, Xiao Zhuo has not come yet.

Song Qinghuan took off his cloak and hung it on the screen, looked around curiously, "This is a good place to talk about things."

Shen Chuhan smiled, picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of clear tea, then beckoned Song Qinghuan over.

Song Qinghuan walked up to him and sat down, reached out and took a sip of the tea he handed over.

"In the past few days, has Yin Zhan summoned Xiao Zhuo?" Song Qinghuan put down the teacup.

"Except for summoning him the day he entered Beijing, there has been no movement in the past few days."

"Where's the hall?" Song Qinghuan's eyes were narrow and thoughtful.

Shen Chuhan hooked the corners of his lips coldly, held her hand and idly played, "In the past few days, Xiao Zhuo also went to court as usual, and Yin Zhan never mentioned him at all. When someone asked, he was perfunctory." off topic."

Knowing that Song Qinghuan didn't want to live under the protection of his wings, although Shen Chuhan didn't want her to worry too much, he didn't hide it from her, and told the current situation in full detail.

"Ashu thinks, how likely is it that Yin Zhan finds out about your relationship with Xiao Zhuo?" Song Qinghuan's eyes darkened slightly.

"Our correspondence is carried out in secret, and there are special channels. Xiao Zhuo himself rarely returns to Shengjing, and on weekdays, I would not stand by his side, so I think that this time Xiao Zhuo Entering Beijing is not because Yin Zhan found out about it."

"On the bright side, whose side is Xiao Zhuo on?"

"He doesn't stand for anyone." Shen Chuhan took her hand and clasped his fingers, his eyes were full of joy, and he didn't seem to be unhappy because of Xiao Zhuo's recall to Beijing.

Seeing that Song Qinghuan frowned, he explained in a warm voice, "Xiao Zhuo has always maintained a neutral attitude towards the outside world. He was far away in southern Xinjiang and did not participate in the battle to seize the throne. Only after Yin Zhan succeeded to the throne, he returned to Shengjing , expressed support for Yin Zhan. However, on the issue of principle, he has always insisted on his heart, and has never deliberately tried to please Yin Zhan. Therefore, Yin Zhan has a lot of trust in him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he still tries every means to win him over. he."

Song Qinghuan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "This image is well established. The more stubborn Xiao Zhuo is, the more at ease Yin Zhan is."

Shen Chuhan only looked at her and smiled dotingly, with a look on her face that "everything my Awan says is right".

"It seems that Yin Zhan has other plans for calling Xiao Zhuo back to Beijing this time." She suddenly thought of something, raised her eyebrows, and a dark color appeared in her eyes, "Ah Wan, tell me, Xiao Zhuo was suddenly caught Will the recall to Beijing have anything to do with Su Rao?"

Hearing this, Shen Chuhan held her hand for a while, and looked at her, "What should I say?"

Song Qinghuan showed a pensive look on her face, "I can't say for sure. I just always feel that Su Rao just arrived in Shengjing, and Xiao Zhuo was called to Beijing on the back. This timing is too coincidental, so people have to think about it."

Shen Chuhan's eyes also darkened suddenly, and obviously felt that Song Qinghuan's words were quite reasonable, "I'll let Xuanying go and investigate Su Rao's movements carefully. If Xiao Zhuo's entry into Beijing is really related to Su Rao, I believe it won't be long. , Yin Zhan will take the initiative to explain to him. Before that, let's stay calm for the time being, and let's take one step at a time."

Song Qinghuan nodded in agreement, seeing that the hour was approaching, but Xiao Zhuo was still missing, she couldn't help being a little surprised.Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard movement in the room.

She narrowed her eyes and looked towards the source of the voice.

Unexpectedly, the place where the sound came from was actually the wall in the Accord.

She looked at Shen Chuhan in surprise.

Shen Chuhan smiled at her comfortingly, got up and walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and pressed on the desk next to him, only to hear a "click", a door cracked in the wall, opened slightly outwards, and a A dark gap was exposed.

Shen Chuhan stretched out his hand and pulled the door open.

Soon, a young man in a brocade robe came out from the door, his eyes were clear and handsome, and his charm was not vulgar——

It was Xiao Zhuo who was dressed casually.
