King's favor is hard to do

After everything was tidied up, Du Yuzhang's arm was also bandaged, and Su Rucheng straightened up.He asked Du Yuzhang,

"My name is Su Rucheng. What's your name?"

Du Yuzhang hesitated for a moment, "I don't want to lie to you. But I can't tell you my name either."

"..."

Su Rucheng was a little surprised.He thought that Du Yuzhang probably wouldn't tell him his real name, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even make up a pseudonym.Staring at Du Yuzhang for a while, he grinned.

"Then I will give you a name. From now on, I will call you Aqile. This name comes from my hometown."

"Are you from the grassland? North? Or west?"

"West."

"..."

Du Yuzhang was silent.His brain was running fast - on the boat before, Bai Zhiyue kept saying that the Western barbarians had sent people to sneak into Dayan in order to spy on the military situation and prepare for war.This person also said himself that he was from the west and possessed martial arts skills, so he should be a Western barbarian warrior... He asked tentatively,

"I heard that most of the Westman people know martial arts, and the Young Master Westman is the most powerful among them. You can save me from so many gangsters, are you from the Young Master Westman?"

Su Rucheng glanced at him.

"I ask you a question. If you will answer me, I will tell you."

"please say."

Du Yuzhang didn't expect that Su Rucheng didn't say anything, but approached him and put his hands on his side.

Du Yuzhang watched the man press down condescendingly, his handsome face getting closer and closer.Du Yuzhang just wanted to push him away, but felt a heavy weight on his shoulder——Su Rucheng pressed his shoulder with one hand to stop his struggle.

"I said, don't move. Your arm can't take it."

"..."

"Besides, I'm just here to ask a question. You're hurt now, and I won't do anything to you. You can rest assured."

Su Rucheng spoke with certainty, with an upright look on his face.It seems that just now, while Du Yuzhang was in a coma, he was not the one who was frivolous around his waist for a long time.

But when Du Yuzhang saw what he said, he believed it.He really didn't move.Su Rucheng leaned over him like this, staring deeply at him with a pair of eyes.He took a long breath, and the warm breath slowly sprayed on Du Yuzhang's face.

"Do you...do you want to ask?"

As time passed, Du Yuzhang became more and more uncomfortable.Su Rucheng smiled slowly, leaning closer to Du Yuzhang's ear,

"I heard that you, Dayan, have a custom. If the hero saves the beauty's life, the beauty will make a promise with her body and go home with the hero. Is this the case?"

"..."

"I'm a hero, I saved your life. I like you very much, will you come home with me?"

When Du Yuzhang's face became hot, he was about to push Su Rucheng away.But Su Rucheng moved faster, holding down his arm firmly, unable to move at all.

"I told you not to move. If you don't obey me, I will tie you up."

"you!"

Du Yuzhang suffered too much from Li Guangning, and he subconsciously resisted the words "tie up".Hearing this sentence, his face turned pale, as if he wanted to vomit.

"what happened to you?"

Su Rucheng quickly let go of him, helped him up, and patted his back to comfort him.

"I was just joking. How can I tie you up? Don't be afraid... I'll get you some water."

Du Yuzhang took the water bowl and was silent for a moment.

"Su Zhuangshi, I am very grateful for your life-saving grace. If there is a chance in the future, I will find a way to repay you. But what is the joke about me going home with you... there is no need to say any more."

"why?"

"No why."

"Why is there no reason?" Su Rucheng smiled ruffiantly, "Let me guess. Is it because——you belong to Emperor Dayan?"

Su Rucheng said it lightly.But Du Yuzhang was shocked when he heard it!With a shake of his hand, he didn't hold the water bowl firmly and spilled half of the bowl of water.

"Aqile, what are you afraid of?" Su Rucheng took the sweat towel and was about to wipe the water marks on Du Yuzhang's body.

Du Yuzhang dodged vigilantly.Su Rucheng raised his eyebrows and said,

"Just wipe the water for you, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you again."

But he still didn't force it, just handed the sweat towel to Du Yuzhang. "I said I like you, I just like you. I won't dislike you just because you have been with Emperor Dayan."

Du Yuzhang ignored his verbal teasing.He stared at Su Rucheng sternly.

"What the hell do you know? What's the purpose? - Are those people who ambushed me sent by you!"

"No. I was just passing by and recognized your carriage. I wanted to find you, but I didn't expect that you were being pinned to the ground by those people, and you were in danger—could I still do nothing?"

"Then why did you..."

"I asked me why I knew you were from Emperor Dayan? I fell in love with you at first sight when I saw you that day. I wanted to follow you to your house and propose marriage to you. But I didn't expect that your carriage was going around the capital. They made a big circle, and finally got into the palace.”

Du Yuzhang lowered his eyes.What Su Rucheng said is indeed reasonable, not like lying.But he is a Western barbarian with a special status, and he has to guard against it.he continued,

"Even if what you said is true, you are a barbarian, why did you come to our Dayan? What is your purpose?"

"I came here to meet someone."

"who?"

Su Rucheng pursed his lips, looking thoughtful, as if he was full of thoughts all at once.But all he could say was,

"I want to meet Dayan's chancellor, Du Yuzhang."

"Du Yuzhang?!"

Du Yuzhang felt that the world was ridiculous, "You traveled thousands of miles from Ximan to Dayan to see Du Yuzhang? Why?"

"I'm going to ask him something..."

Unexpectedly, just as he said this, something happened outside the window!

A string of torches reflected the sky red, and the noise came from far to near.Du Yuzhang could hear someone shouting loudly,

"Surround this inn, don't let the villains escape! People are here!"

"It came so fast."

Su Rucheng frowned and snorted coldly,

"Why didn't you see them come when you were about to die just now? I came out to disrupt the situation after I had a good chat with you! It's really annoying! If it wasn't for my inconvenience to kill now..."

"What do you want to do?"

Du Yuzhang became alert, "You want to kill people here? This is my land of Dayan."

"Understood." Su Rucheng glanced at him, the corners of his lips raised, "Look at your worried look. How do you look like a concubine in the harem? I'm afraid your prime minister, Du Yuzhang, isn't as worried as you are."

"..."

"I have to go, Achille."

As Su Rucheng said, he suddenly reached out and lifted Du Yuzhang's chin—he is very good at martial arts, and before Du Yuzhang could react, he already felt a kiss on his forehead.The kiss was so soft that it went away with one touch.Before Du Yuzhang got angry, Su Rucheng had already opened the window and went out.
