Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 454: In your heart

Originally he planned to go to the palace quietly at night, but after accepting Ji Wuxing's request, Xue Mu had dinner in Baihua Garden and went to find Xia Houdi first after the meal.

At this time, the situation gradually calmed down, and Xia Houdi no longer had to work day and night on official duties. At this time, he was resting at home.

Seeing Xue Mu's visit, the old servant warmly greeted him into the house and said with a smile: "Should the old servant go to notify the chief arrester to come out, or will Mr. Xue go find the chief arrester himself?"

Xue Mu smiled and said, "Where is she?"

"Watching snow in the backyard."

Xue Mu walked to the backyard. In fact, the weather has become slightly warmer these days. There are only a few scattered snowflakes in the evening. The original snow has not melted, and the courtyard is a bit plain white. The snowy plum trees are intertwined with each other, and accompanied by a few snowflakes. At a glance, you can’t tell where the plum blossoms are and where the snow is.

Xue Mu walked around the corridor and saw the pavilion that day. He was stunned for a moment, stopped lightly, and stood on the edge of the pillar to look at the figures beside the pavilion. The figure was facing away from him, quietly reading the inscriptions on the pavilion pillars. Her long hair hangs down smoothly to her waist, swaying gently in the wind. She wears a light-colored long skirt that hangs down to her ankles, making her tall and slender figure stand out. A lightly tied waist corset outlines the waist and straightens the back, making it graceful and beautiful.

Looking from behind, Xue Mu could hardly recognize that this was Xia Houdi. Only her tall figure and super long legs judging from the waist position emphasize that this is really her.

It is a casual attire for home after taking off official clothes and bathing and changing clothes.

Xue Mu saw Xia Houdi like this for the first time in his life, and he couldn't even bear to break this beautiful tranquility.

As if he heard footsteps approaching and stopped again, Xia Houdi did not turn his head, but said softly: "Uncle Wang, is there something wrong?"

Xue Mu didn't answer.

Xia Houdi seemed to feel something was wrong, so he turned around and took a look.

As he turned his head, his long hair twirled and danced lightly, with falling snow in front of him. A few strands of hair brushed past his clean and bright face. His slightly confused eyes suddenly became confused the moment he saw the person coming. Bright, the corners of her lips seemed to evoke a surprise smile, as if the entire pure and quiet courtyard suddenly became brighter.

Xue Mu only regretted that he didn't have a camera, so he couldn't make the beauty of the world he looked back at this moment permanent.

"Hey." Xia Houdi smiled and said, "What are you doing here again? Do you think you've been thrown out of the house enough times?"

The quiet beauty once again overlapped with the generous and handsome appearance that he was used to seeing every day. Xue Mu's eyes were a little dazed, and he forgot to answer for a moment.

"What are you doing?" Xiahou asked curiously, "That dazed look."

Xue Mu finally came to his senses and whispered: "It's so beautiful."

Xia Houdi was stunned, biting his lip and stopped talking. He lowered his head and looked at his own attire... He usually didn't feel that way at home. Looking back, it seemed that Xue Mu had never seen him in anything other than his official uniform... If anything, it was because of the fight between him and me. After being dressed in rags, he asked for Weiye's clothes. At that time, everyone looked in a mess, so he probably didn't pay attention to beauty and ugliness.

Of course it's different from now.

She took two deep breaths, pretending to be calm, and turned back to look at the flowers: "What's wrong with the beauty? I am the most beautiful person in the country. Do you think you are doing something shady?"

It looked like he was looking at flowers, but in fact his eyes were wandering and he didn't even know what he was looking at.

"You were originally a shady person." Xue Mu walked slowly behind her and whispered: "You don't like to be commented on your beauty by others. You just want everyone to see what you have done. If it hadn't been for Qingqiu and I There’s no way you can squeeze yourself into a corner.”

Xia Houdi gritted his teeth and said, "You also know that you are bullying me?"

"I just hate that people can only see the side of public service, and never see the beauty of Xia Houdi in all her ways."

Xia Houdi said lightly: "I thought you would think it would be good only if you have seen it."

Xue Mu laughed dumbly: "People with this kind of thinking are so dark and possessive."

Xia Houdi finally couldn't help but said: "Why do you keep standing behind me?"

"Because you don't turn around."

"Why should I transfer..." Before Xia Houdi could finish his words, he was cut off in his throat.

Two arms came around from behind and hugged her waist. You could feel her back pressing against his chest, and you could even feel the frequency of his heartbeat.

"Let go." She said coldly: "Don't force me to chop you."

"Forget it if I'm hacked to death by you." Xue Mu hugged her tighter and murmured: "If I can't hold such beauty, my life will be in vain... my life will be in vain."

Xia Houdi sneered: "You are holding too much beauty."

Xue Mu was silent.

Surprisingly, Xia Houdi didn't move and didn't say anything about cutting him. The two of them hugged each other quietly, without saying a word.

I don't know how much time passed before Xia Houdi said softly: "Xue Mu, I know you are only good at this kind of thing. I don't want to talk to you to take advantage of you, but we are just friends."

Xue Mu said: "As a friend, I am here to remind you of something today."

"you say."

"Whether King Qi or King Tang, you should not assume a certain level of trust. Even if someone is 99% trustworthy in your mind, there is still 1% suspicion."

Xia Houdi was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I know."

"you know?"

"Of course I know. But Xue Mu, if none of the brothers you grew up with can make you trust, what a terrible thing it is. Do you know? I would rather believe in the wrong one than believe it again. ." Xia Houdi paused, as if he was deliberately reminding himself, and continued: "Do I trust a devil like you more than my own brother?"

Xue Mu choked up and didn't know how to answer, and sighed helplessly: "That's right. It's a pity that you really shouldn't be born in an emperor's family."

Xia Houdi did not answer, but said: "Li Yingqing praised the several ideas you brought up to Li Yingqing today. Among them, the political affairs hall is already discussing the paving of roads or setting up tracks."

"That's good."

"Traffic in this world, benefiting the people, should never be a question that a person from the Demon Sect should think about. And you not only considered it, but you didn't do it in exchange for benefits, but you really wanted to implement it like that. You even considered more Many, help the Shenji Sect think about motivation... Don't you know that a strong Shenji Sect means a strong imperial court? Once it develops to a certain level and the war partners develop in large numbers, even the Xingyue Sect will not be able to push the war partners evenly."

"Once steam power develops, I don't know how powerful the imperial court will become. In short, even if you want to compare the Xingyue Sect, you don't know about the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Seeing that the whole world can benefit from steam power, why should I hide it? ?”

Xia Houdi looked at the inscription in front of him in ecstasy, and then whispered for a long time: "Xue Mu, can you tell me clearly, what kind of person are you?"

"I'm just a...traveler who is trekking in the desert like you. Just because I have seen an oasis somewhere, I kindly remind others, hey, there is water if you go there. That's all."

"Remind others of the path to the oasis, so where do you want to go?"

"In your heart."

Xia Houdi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his body that had been pretending to be relaxed suddenly tightened his defensive strength.

Obviously knowing that this kind of words are just the tricks of Huacong veterans, but the power is really astonishing, just like a warrior whose level gap is too big, seeing a sword thrust in front of his eyes, the trajectory is clear, but he can't avoid it no matter how hard he tries.

Even Xue Mu was trying to turn her around, but she was in a daze and didn't respond. When she suddenly woke up, she found Xue Mu leaning over and kissing her on the lips.

Xia Houdi opened his eyes wide and his body tensed up, but his head was empty.

They had kissed before... their lips met when they were pressed by the rock, but there was no beauty, only pain. When he was tricked by Qin Wuye, it was when his mind was lost, and it was different from kissing in such a sober state.

This kind of kiss can only make people's hearts beat faster, like being electrocuted, making people feel confused. She put her hands on Xue Mu's chest and wanted to push it away, but she seemed to have no strength. There seemed to be an idea swirling in her mind: It's not like she hasn't been kissed before, so it's nothing...

Xue Mu wanted to try to buckle, but Xia Houdi came to his senses with a jolt and pushed him far away. He breathed rapidly and gritted his teeth and said: "This is your reward for your contribution to the world. Don't overreach. Hurry up. Get out!"
