C9 His City

There was the sound of hooves coming from the other side and they stopped in front of her, neither too fast nor too slow.

She jumped off the horse and rushed over, as if she had seen a family member she hadn't seen for a long time. She actually stretched out her arms and hugged him. "Mr. Portugal, you're finally back."

He had never experienced anything so excessive in his life — enthusiasm and boldness.

Embarrassed, she lifted her hand. After a while, it landed on her hair and gently caressed it.

The caress brought indescribable comfort, like a parent. She chattered excitedly, "Mr. Portugal, I'm really hungry. Let's go back and eat …"

He laughed, and she dragged him into the house.

He only looked at her along the way.

"What? Am I very strange?"

"A little."

She blinked. "But it's convenient."

He then laughed, "Is it convenient for you to come out and find me?"

"I wanted to take the gold and run, but I was unwilling. I wanted more gifts. It's not worth it to run away. "

He laughed. He had been holding her hand all along, but now, with a little force, he shook hers.

The dinner was unusually sumptuous.

Blue Jade ate a lot, fragrant and steady.

Most of the time he watched her eat, drinking only a cup of tea.

She asked curiously, "Why don't you eat more?"

"I'm not hungry."

She put down her chopsticks in relief and raised her head. Large jewels dangled from her neck.

There were also earrings, which were also very large and very ostentatious.

She blushed slightly.

The smile on his face became wider. He slowly took out a small box and handed it over to her. "Jade. Maybe this box is more suitable for you."

When she opened it, she saw a necklace. It was a green gem that was completely transparent. According to her visual estimation, if she were to calculate the current unit, every single one of them should be above three carats.

Not only was there a green gem, but there was also a chain.

With a single glance, one could tell that it was much more refined than the large gem around his neck.

Her face was even redder. A true upstart naturally didn't know how to appreciate things. She always thought that the bigger the better.

He hung the necklace around her neck and looked at it, satisfied.

"It's said that this belongs to a certain concubine of the Shang Dynasty."

Shang Dynasty?

"Could it be the fox spirit Su Daji?"

He laughed and slapped her face.

Very gently.

She raised her face and looked at him blankly. In her memory, there had never been anyone who could touch her like this. They were intimate, gentle, and even had a trace of camaraderie.

Being doted upon.

Like a father to his daughter.

Too strange.

No wonder he refused to leave.

He inadvertently met her gaze and was startled. Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed and his gaze fell on her wrist.

However, she obviously didn't notice his expression and forgot to hide it.

Now that the big gem had appeared, the jade bracelet felt even more ashamed.

His eyes became gentler as he said gently, "Yuchang, are you tired?"

She did not answer. She lay on her stomach on his lap, snoring softly. She had actually fallen asleep.

When he woke up, there was moonlight outside his window.

He leaned against a person's chest.

She was suddenly very happy. She stretched out her arms and hugged his neck. "Mr. Portugal …"

"Yuqi, tell me about yourself, okay?"

He himself!

What was there to say?

In fact, she wanted to know more about him.

"Mr. Portugal, what do you want to know about me?"

"For example, why do you know martial arts?"

Martial arts! A scattered fight could still be considered a martial arts technique.

She giggled. "When I was young, I was bullied by those kids every day. At that time, there was a martial arts school next to the school. I went there every day to play … "Hehe, I was about seven or eight years old. Then, I practiced everyday, trained everyday. Finally, one day, there were two little boys who bullied me. I gave them a good beating …"

It was because of the foundation built at that time that the organization began to set its eyes on him.

"Did you girls go there to study as well?"

Her interest was piqued. "Mr. Portugal, when I was in school, my grades were so good that I always got first place. So the school deducted all my expenses. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go to university …"

"What is a university there?"

She drew a line, "It's Doctor..." Yes, those learned people here are called Doctor... "Heehee …"

"Like Sima Xian?"

This was not easy to compare. Sima Xian was a scholar like them, and he himself was a science major, not a writer.

Fortunately, he didn't pursue the matter to the bottom.

However, Bluejade knew that he must have thought that he was a scholar like Sima Xiangru.

It doesn't matter.

He even asked if there was any trivial matter that they were interested in, until Blue Jade was tired and fell asleep in his arms.

The entire night was peaceful.

Until the sun came in again.

She was lying on her bed, Döller, next to her.

She asked in surprise, "Mr. Portugal, are you awake?"

"You look good when you sleep."

She covered her mouth and snickered like a little girl who had just woken up to see her father holding the most exquisite clothes and hairpin.

Every single young lady was once a princess.

However, this part of hers had only just begun.

As expected, there was an exceptionally beautiful set of clothes on the side, with flowing clouds and flowing water sleeves; the embroidery was exquisite.

"Yuchang, I have to leave this place for a very long time."

Without thinking, she said, "I'll go with you."

He hesitated.

"Mr. Portugal, are you the emperor?"

He laughed loudly, "Look, do I have a palace?"

This truly was not the Imperial Palace.

"Since you're not the Emperor, then the secret isn't so big. Can I go with you?"

The eyes of such a young face were filled with joy.

"I will do a lot of things. I won't drag you down. Ride, shoot, I'll do it. I can still protect you … "

His eyes became strange once again. "You will protect me? "Why?"

"Because you treat me well. No one used to treat me like that. "

He stared into the girl's innocent eyes, in contrast to her sometimes shrewd toughness.

"Mr. Portugal, will you let me protect you?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing to follow an old man like me."

"Mr. Portugal, you're not old at all, you're really not old at all. You're very handsome …"

His face actually turned slightly red. "No one praises this old man like that."

"You are very handsome. "Really, more handsome than many people …"

He was at least ten thousand times more handsome than that damned Shi Xuan.

He stared at her.

He was like a stray puppy that had been adopted when he was in need. From then on, he was loyal and devoted.

"Yu Zhi, after you leave this time!" You must always follow me! "Always!"

Yes, not for comment.

She jumped up in joy. "I'll pack my things right now. I won't hold you up."

Thirteen riders were guards.

Including Bluejade and Dale, there were fifteen of them in total.

Guard, all of them were Ferghana Horses.

However, that was not the point.

Blue jade eyes fell on the horse of Döller, silver gray, all over, as if covered with a layer of shining satin. She had never seen a gray horse before and asked curiously, "What kind of horse is this?"

"Gray Shadow Knight."

Gray Shadow Knight?

A horse is just like its name.

"Mr. Portugal, where are we going?"

"Three Waters Pass."

She did not know the place and had never heard of it.

He didn't even care about the danger. Following such a person made it seem as though there was nothing to be afraid of in this chaotic world.

After hurrying for three days, she was slightly surprised. That was the way to Yi Shui. She suddenly thought of the devilish Shi Xuanyin and her mini gun.

Of course they wished to find him, but how could they possibly fight against Shi Xueman?

When she opened her mouth, she discovered that his face was extremely grave.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to.

Finally, Yi Shui could no longer hold it in. "Mr. Portugal, it's very dangerous up ahead."

"What's the danger?"

"Where did I pass by a few days ago? There's a Demon King named Shi Xuanyin leading an army and showing off his might. Let's not go there."

He smiled.

"Mr. Portugal, that person is really a demon. We can't let him go, he is not only robbing women of their property, but also robbing the caravan."

"Yuchang, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Sweat was on her forehead, so how could she not be afraid? Even if he was thirteen, how could he match the thousands of men and horses of others?

However, she quickly shut her mouth.

For there was a road in front of him.

To a new city.

Three Water Entrances.

So, it wasn't to change the water.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

The city was newly built, but it looked like it had reached the end. The artisans who came and went busily painted it with red paint.

At the door, the soldiers who lined up knelt down when they saw him: "Greetings, sir!"

My lord?

What do you mean?

The three kingdoms' Liu Bei was often referred to as the lord.

However, this was not the Three Kingdoms, nor was it Liu Bei.

The door opened, and without dismounting, everyone slowed down.

"Yuqi, do you like it here?"

Her eyes widened. "Mr. Portugal, you wouldn't say this is your city, would you?"

He smiled but said nothing.

Her eyes widened. What kind of a man is he, Geller?
