big master, big liar

The last time Ji Yunxi and Song Xuan left Sifang City with the officers and soldiers, they traveled by land, but this time they took the water route. After all, Ji Yunxi ran out quietly and couldn't live in an official post. The water route is much safer and faster than the land route.

On the day when he left Sifang City, Song Xuan waited at the ferry for a long time, but Xiangrong was still nowhere to be seen.

He always came and left whenever he wanted, but it was the first time he waited for someone to see him off, but it was because of a trace of guilt that he couldn't explain clearly.

Ji Yunxi didn't stop him, she just waited with him at the ferry, and seeing that it had been waiting for a long time, she handed him a cup of herbal tea: "Don't worry, what's supposed to come will always come."

There was no smile in the pair of bright eyes, but a sincere expression made Zhu Yang couldn't help shivering.

Song Xuan brought it over and took a sip, then sighed lowly: "I'm afraid I'll make her angry, so it's best not to cry."

He used to think that a strong man like Xiangrong wouldn't cry, until one time when she was drunk, she hugged Song Xuan and cried with snot and tears flying all over her body. She didn't say why, but kept on Saying "His Royal Highness".

He knew that this girl would cry too.

After a while, the boatman came to urge Song Xuan several times and had no choice but to get on the boat. Suddenly, he saw a short little girl running over from a distance, wearing peach pink clothes, running out of breath. I knew it was the little girl Hua went downstairs.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Song!" the little girl shouted.

Song Xuan jumped off the boat, and the little girl said in a childlike voice, "I've sent a message for our family, Boss Xiangrong."

Song Xuan knelt down and talked to her: "What?"

"Our boss said, you are a bastard, tell you to get out of here and don't come back." The little girl said. "Come back again, I'll beat you until you're full of peach blossoms."

The little girl learned it so vividly that she could even see Xiangrong's ferocious expression, which made Song Xuan couldn't help laughing out loud.

He took out two pieces of candy from the armhole, stuffed them into the little girl's palm, and said with a smile: "Please tell the boss a message, tell her to prepare sticks and wine, and Song Xuan will come back sooner or later."

The little girl blinked her eyes, looked at Song Xuan, then at the candy in her palm, and agreed hesitantly.

Song Xuan watched the little girl leave, and then returned to the cabin, and saw Ji Yunxi staring at the tea in the cup: "If my brother doesn't come back, my tea will turn into vinegar."

Song Xuan was slightly taken aback, subconsciously ignoring the ambiguity in his tone: "Xiangrong is my friend for many years, someone entrusted me to take care of her back then, that's how I got married, don't think too much about it."

"I didn't think too much about it." Ji Yunxi said, he had already made some secret moves around him, that Xiangrong couldn't see Song Xuan today, and when Song Xuan arrived in Shengjing in the future, he wouldn't even want to touch Song Xuan's corners.

But he couldn't help snorting softly: "Who entrusted you to take care of a girl? Why can't you even write the word avoidance?"

This is nothing out of the question, Song Xuan then explained: "He is a big man who has lived in seclusion in Sifang City for a long time, his gambling skills are superb, and people in the world are named gambling kings, but it is rare to see him."

"I've only had a few encounters with him, and they always wear a mask, never showing my face." Song Xuanruo thought. "I once lost a bet to him, and I owed him some favors. He wanted me to pay back the favors, and that's why Xiangrong made this—"

Suddenly, he stopped.

He remembered why he thought Ji Yunqi's voice was familiar before.

That was the voice of the gambling king.

He remembered that the year when the gambling king came to him for help was exactly the year after the war with Tuguo ended, Hua Wuliang disappeared, and the eldest prince Ji Yunqi closed the door to thank guests.

He actually hid in Sifang City.

The reason why the so-called gambling king lived in seclusion was probably because Ji Yunqi had so many chores that it was impossible for him to appear in Sifang City for a long time.

As for Xiang Rong, Song Xuan knew a long time ago that there must be someone behind him to support her.

After all, the brothel is in the business of catering. After spending all these years downstairs, Xiang Rong took her. The girls have more cards than the customers. Whether they accept customers or not depends on their mood. If you want to push each other, Xiang Rong will be the first to carry The stick comes down and beats you, offending countless people.

After all these years, Huaxia is still standing, and is getting more and more prosperous. Not to mention one Song Xuan, even ten Song Xuans can't cover her, only the one behind her can support her.

Having said that, Song Xuan actually felt that this man was well-intentioned.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Ji Yunxi asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Xuan said with a smile: "It's probably a little sentimental. When I get older, I'm always a little afraid of recalling the old things."

Ji Yunxi glared at him: "You fooled me again."

As he spoke, he pushed him casually.

Suddenly the boat shook, probably the boatman had already set off.

Just watching the shaking, Ji Yunxi pushed Song Xuan down, and directly pressed on him, but his expression did not show the slightest surprise or panic.

On the contrary, Song Xuan panicked a bit.

He never forgot that the kiss wasn't like a kiss that day, but he just wanted to pretend that nothing happened and forget about it.

After all, he accepted Ji Yunxi's invitation this time, and it is inevitable that he will meet day and night in the future, so ignoring this matter is the best and most convenient choice.

But Ji Yunxi didn't seem to have any intention of ignoring it.

He propped his elbows beside Song Xuan's ear, propped his chin, and said with a faint smile, "Brother always fools me like this, I'm afraid I'll teach you a lesson."

Obviously he didn't reveal a single word, but Song Xuan's face turned red when he heard it, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and wanted to get up.

But Ji Yunxi gently pressed his shoulder: "Song Xuan, I kissed you too, you should give me an explanation, right?"

Song Xuan never thought that he would speak clearly, and his expression became more and more embarrassed: "How to explain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that he had asked the wrong question.

Sure enough, Ji Yunxi lowered her head, making a gesture to kiss her.

Song Xuan reacted quickly, and covered Ji Yunxi's mouth with his hand: "This can't be done——"

His brain has been slow for a long time, but his instinct is still there: "Ah Xi, this can't be done..."

But Ji Yunxi didn't care, she gave a low laugh, licked Song Xuan's palm with the tip of her tongue, and traced along the lines of the palm.

The numb feeling like an electric shock passed along the palm, Song Xuan quickly withdrew his hand, and Ji Yunxi aimed at the gap, and kissed Song Xuan's lips precisely.

Song Xuan could still hear him muttering in a low voice: "Why not..."

Why not?

Song Xuan didn't have time to think, all he knew was that the tip of the man's tongue nimbly got into his teeth, licking his sensitive tongue one after another, stirring his sanity into chaos and separating him from the world around him open.

He vaguely had a strange illusion.

Maybe I got on a thief ship, and what leads to is not the palace, but the thief's lair, the kind where you can't get out once you get in.
