There are bandits attacking

Chapter 20: Ambiguous

This time Zhang Jiu slept with a sore back and a very uncomfortable backache. After waking up, he was taken aback by the ambiguous posture of him and Qin Ce, with an extremely unnatural expression on his face.

"Are you awake?" Qin Ce was startled awake, and felt very good that he could see Zhang Jiu as soon as he opened his eyes.

"Well, is the city gate about to open?" Zhang Jiu stood up and stretched his muscles. Looking at Qin Ce's plain expression, he felt that he was making a fuss over a molehill, and sleeping together at night might happen, Zhang Jiu He said to himself: It's just that he was thinking too much about the ambiguity of keeping each other warm.

Qin Ce looked at the sky, "It should be opening soon."

Zhang Jiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the joy that the hard days were coming to an end. When he opened his eyes, the joy was replaced by fright, because Qin Ce was standing in front of him to remove the hair on his head. Grass, "I don't bother His Royal Highness to do this little thing, I'll do it myself."

Qin Ce raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you can see it?"

He was sure that he couldn't see it, but he would rather bear a head of grass than bother Qin Ce to do it. The feeling now is too scary.Zhang Jiu laughed dryly, "Thank you very much."

"No, you can help me with it later, we are reciprocating courtesy," Qin Ce said.

But he didn't want to go or come, he just wanted to do it himself, his eyes turned around on the face in front of him, Zhang Jiu finally lowered his eyes, it was more comfortable to see nothing and look at Mother Earth.

"Okay." There was a smile in Qin Ce's eyes, and the moment Zhang Jiu raised his head, he retracted it.

Maybe maybe he really thought too much. Looking at Qin Ce's normal expression, Zhang Jiu had no choice but to say this to himself, but he and Jiang Ning had never had such mutual help in more than ten years together. Zhang Jiu I really feel that if one of him and Qin Ce changed their gender, it would definitely be a beautiful and harmonious picture.

Absently helping Qin Ce pick out the hay on his head, Zhang Jiu tried hard to drive out the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

"Aren't you alright?" Although enjoying Zhang Jiu's service made him feel happy physically and mentally, his neck was really sore from being lowered all the time, so Qin Ce had to ask.

"Oh, it's all right." After making a few random moves, Zhang Jiu returned to God.

"You're dirty too," Qin Ce said, reaching out to pat Zhang Jiu's stolen goods very naturally, and tidying up his messy clothes.

Qin Ce's performance made Zhang Jiu think of the scene of a considerate wife changing her husband's clothes. Zhang Jiu began to reflect on how the relationship between him and Qin Ce became like this?After much deliberation, he couldn't find the answer, and he tended to be more and more biased. Without noticing it for a while, Zhang Jiu suddenly asked, "Are you as good as Long Yang?"

Hearing his own voice, Zhang Jiu realized that he actually asked. Why did he ask?Really stupid.If not, it’s okay, if it’s too embarrassing, Zhang Jiu hurriedly remedied, “I’m talking nonsense, you just listen to a joke, don’t care about it.”

Qin Ce was also stopped by Zhang Jiu's question, and he was stunned for a while before saying, "I have married three wives and have four children. Do you think I am as good as Long Yang?"

Qin Ce has never had feelings for a man, so he doesn't think he is as good as Long Yang, but for Zhang Jiu, Qin Ce thinks he should really regard Zhang Jiu as a friend, and he is not without purpose, is it? Is it because of this that Zhang Jiu misunderstood?

Qin Ce has already taken the initiative to ignore the strange feeling towards Zhang Jiu in his heart.

"It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have one." After receiving Qin Ce's answer, Zhang Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he was thinking too much. The prince has outstanding looks and intelligence. How can he like a man if he doesn't have many beauties?

Neither of them spoke until the city gate was wide open.

The first thing Zhang Jiu did when he entered the city was to rush to the nearest bun shop to buy buns to eat. After being hungry all day and night, Zhang Jiu felt that the buns in his hands were the most delicious food in the world, and he showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Qin Ce glanced at Zhang Jiu. Zhang Jiu was very particular about food. Sometimes even if there was a lot of food in front of him, Zhang Jiu would not eat it if he didn't like it. Now he actually showed such a satisfied expression to a few buns. , is this considered to be happy with the situation?

Qin Ce ate the buns slowly, perhaps because of Zhang Jiu's influence, he also thought the buns here were pretty good.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhang Jiu rubbed his stomach, and the gloomy mood before was swept away.

When going back, Zhang Jiu didn't want to walk any more, so he found a carriage, and felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit depressing. Zhang Jiu wanted to find something to say, but after much deliberation, he couldn't find a suitable topic, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind, and went all the way to the inn. Both remained silent.

"Here we are, do you want to get out of the car and take a ride?" Zhang Jiu smiled a little fake.

"No need." Qin Ce shook his head, his body is not suitable for meeting people, and there are still many things to do.

"Then goodbye." Zhang Jiu got out of the car gracefully without turning his head.

When entering the inn, I saw Jiang Ning looking left and right.

"Master Jiu, why didn't you come back all night? And you're still in such a mess, did you get robbed?" Jiang Ning jokingly observed everyone.

"Are you gloating and secretly pleasantly surprised?" Zhang Jiu rolled his eyes at him.

"No, I am expressing my deep sympathy and concern for Master Jiu's experience"

"Your way of expressing sympathy and concern is to smirk after eating and drinking here?"

"I just turned grief and indignation into appetite, forced a smile, Jiu Ye, listen to my heart is crying"

"Crying for joy"

"Master Jiu, how can you trample on my sincerity like this, it's so sad"

"I'm very surprised that you still have a heart to hurt me"

Jiang Ning held his glass heart and let out a long sigh, "Okay, I admit that I was just a little worried about your disappearance, but isn't Brother Heng with you this time?"

"You are not afraid that he will sell me"

"Don't be afraid, because Master Jiu is definitely not the kind of person who is sold and paid for by others."

"Should I thank you for your trust in me?"

"It's useless, I just hope that Master Jiu can trust me like I trust you in the future."

"Your requirements are too high, I may not be able to do it." Zhang Jiu said that his ability is limited.

After going back to the room and taking a beautiful hot bath, and changing her outfit, Zhang Jiu's mood was clear, and it turned cloudy only when he thought of Qin Ce.

"Xiao Ning, does Qin Ce know that we know his identity?" Zhang Jiu couldn't figure out why Qin Ce made a fuss. In fact, not only he couldn't figure it out, but Qin Ce himself didn't understand either.

Jiang Ning didn't even bat an eyelid, "Didn't he already know?"

"But he made it clear to me yesterday?" That's the point.

Jiang Ning frowned and pondered, "Let's make it clear. Anyway, it's something he knows well. Then what did he say after that? Threatened you? Or lured you, or used a beauty trick?"

"Not at all..." Qin Ce just wanted to tell him about his tragic childhood experiences, but it was precisely because of this that Zhang Jiu was even more worried. As a person who is just an ordinary friend, he would actually say this to you, isn't it abnormal?

"Then what are you worried about? Anyway, we don't ask for anything from him, and he is also the one who came to us. We just need soldiers to cover up the water and soil, or else we'll pretend to be stupid, and we have to pass the exam and everything will be fine." Jiang Ning was very open.

"It's really good if it can be like this." What Jiang Ning said is not wrong. He thought so before, but a series of accidents kept coming. Zhang Jiu just felt that things would not be so simple. What happened yesterday between him and Qin Ce Zhang Jiu didn't want to tell Jiang Ning about the incident, so he had to worry secretly.

Both mentally and physically exhausted, Zhang Jiu spent the whole day sleeping. When he woke up, he developed a high fever instead of recovering. It was really a wave of just flattening and another wave. Zhang Jiu suspected that since arriving in the capital, His life became one tragedy after another.

And the facts once again proved to Zhang Jiu that there is no such thing as the most tragic, only more tragic.

This ferocious fever lasted until the day of the imperial examination and did not subside. Zhang Jiu also wanted to go to the examination room with his illness and use strong willpower to resist the illness, but the illness came down like a mountain. He was so light, even if he got to the examination room, he would definitely only pass out, not to mention that his mind was in chaos now, and it became a serious difficulty to do the questions.
