Hu Tiehua was riding on a horse. Although this horse was also a good steed that had been carefully selected, it seemed to be both respectful and fearful of the black steed that Chu Liuxiang was riding. No matter how Hu Tiehua spurred it, he did not dare to keep pace with it.
With that, Hu Tiehua could only follow behind Chu Liuxiang. His stomach was full of discomfort, and he could not stop grumbling and sighing.
Chu Liuxiang didn't look uncomfortable at all. It was just that after parting with Ji Bingyan, he hadn't opened his mouth to speak. "Chu Liuxiang, do you know that I'm starting to suspect that you're not as good a friend as I thought you were?" Hu Tiehua finally couldn't help but say.”
"Oh?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
"Damn rooster, both of his legs are broken, but you don't feel sorry for him at all. I know you weren't this kind of person in the past." Hu Tiehua said loudly.”
Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while before she suddenly turned around and smiled,"How long have you known Ji Bingyan?”
"Although not as long as you, it's been more than ten years.”
"Have you ever heard him say so much?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
Hu Tiehua did not even need to think and immediately replied,"Of course not! Everyone knew that it was much more difficult to ask a rooster to talk than to ask him to treat them.”
"Have you ever seen him as agitated as yesterday?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
"Yesterday, when I saw him fall from his chair, I wanted to cry out loud. But you…you didn't even blink for a second, yet you still managed to laugh." Hu Tiehua sighed.”
Chu Liuxiang also sighed and said slowly,""You've known him for more than ten years. Don't you know his temper? If his leg was really broken, would he still say so many words and be so agitated?”
Hu Tiehua was startled and shouted,"What do you mean by that?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly.”
"Are you saying that he's only acting for us to see?" Hu Tiehua shouted.”
Chu Liuxiang sighed again and said,"Have you ever paid attention to the two girls who poured wine for us?"”
"Are you talking about Ying Yan and Ban Bing?" Hu Tiehua asked.”
"That's right, did you notice their attitude towards Ji Bingyan?" Chu Liuxiang said.”
"Are you jealous?" Hu Tiehua asked. Not every girl in the world would treat Chu Liuxiang well. Occasionally, there would be one or two who did not take Chu Liuxiang seriously.”
"Look at their attitude towards Ji Bingyan. Is it the attitude towards a disabled person?" Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly. Have you ever paid attention to their eyes, their expressions when they looked at Ji Bingyan?”
Hu Tiehua suddenly stopped laughing.
Chu Liuxiang continued,"You're also someone who has experience with girls. Of course, you're not blind."”
"That's right!" Hu Tiehua muttered. If a man can't satisfy a woman, a woman won't treat him with that kind of expression. A disabled person will never be able to satisfy others…"
"But why didn't you tell me then?" he shouted again.”
"Since he doesn't want to go, why should I force him?" Chu Liuxiang sighed.”
Hu Tiehua cursed," That damned rooster! Not only did he deceive me, he even made me suffer. How dare he use such a method to deal with a friend of more than ten years?"”
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said,"He treats us quite well."”。"You still say he's not bad?" Hu Tiehua roared.”
Chu Liuxiang said," He said a lot of things to show that he feels guilty in his heart. It means that he still treats us as friends. Otherwise, he might as well say 'no', and we can't tie up his votes, right?”
Hu Tiehua glared at him and said,"Aren't you angry at all when he treats you like this?"”
Chu Liuxiang said," If you want to make a friend, you have to understand his temper. If he has shortcomings, you should forgive him. When I met him, I already knew that he was such a person. Why should I be angry…"
"Besides, I'm already very satisfied that such a person can always treat me as a friend," he said with a smile.”。"But I'm not as magnanimous as you, I…" Hu Tiehua said angrily.
"You think you're a good friend?" Chu Liuxiang laughed. We have so many good friends together, but you actually secretly left without saying goodbye. We haven't seen each other for seven to eight years. Aren't they angry at you?”
"But I…I'm not like him…" Hu Tiehua said.
"Not bad!" Chu Liuxiang laughed. You're not like him. When a friend is in trouble, you will never retreat. But you also have your shortcomings, just like Ji Bingyan also has his advantages.”
Hu Tiehua touched his nose and stopped talking. He was indeed Chu Liuxiang's old friend. He had learned the same thing as Chu Liuxiang.
At noon, they found a place to queue up. Chu Liuxiang was about to discuss with him how to go, but when she turned around, Hu Tiehua was gone.
Chu Liuxiang could only smile bitterly and wait.
Even if he was anxious, it was useless. Hu Tiehua's temper was fiercer than fire, wilder than wild horses, and more stubborn than mules. He knew it very well.
Naturally, he could guess where Hu Tiehua had gone.
It was only four hours 'journey from here to Lan Province. If the horse was fast, two hours would be enough. Hu Tiehua had already spoken before dusk.
He did not come back alone. Behind the horse he was riding, there was another horse following him. He was pulling the reins of two horses alone, but there were two people sitting on the horse behind him.
These two people were actually Ying Yan and Bing Bing.
Their shiny hair had long been messed up by the wind. Their beautiful faces were filled with fear, and their soft hands had been tied up by Hu Tiehua.
Chu Liuxiang had been looking at the emperor from the entrance of the store, but after seeing the people, he walked back into the house, leaned against the door, and sat down.
Hu Tiehua waited for the horse to gallop to the door before he suddenly dismounted. He then took advantage of the momentum to reined in the horse behind him and helped the two people off the horse.
The horse was a good horse, and Hu Tiehua's skills were so beautiful and vigorous. In addition, there were two stunning beauties whose hands were tied up.
The eyes of the people on the street were fixed on him. If not for the fact that they were afraid of Hu Tiehua's astonishing skills, they would have already swarmed over.
However, Chu Liuxiang did not turn around and did not even look at Hu Tiehua.
Hu Tiehua walked over and said,""I'm back."
"En!" Chu Liuxiang replied.
"I also brought two guests back," Hu Tiehua said.”
Chu Liuxiang stood up and pulled out a chair. She smiled and let the two frightened girls sit down. Then, her face darkened and she still ignored Hu Tiehua.
Hu Tiehua had no choice but to order a jug of wine and pour it for himself. He muttered,"I know you're unhappy, but Ji Bingyan is really not a friend. If I don't expose his tricks, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for the rest of my life.”
Chu Liuxiang finally couldn't help but sigh,""But how did you deal with them?"
"This is the only way I can think of." Hu Tiehua smiled bitterly.”
"When you went, was Ji Bingyan taking an afternoon nap?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
Hu Tiehua said," I knew that this old habit of his wouldn't change, so I calculated the time and went. He was indeed sleeping. I think that as long as I invite these two ladies over, he will definitely come in less than two hours."”
He couldn't help but laugh." It's exactly like you. Others kidnapped Su Rongrong and the others, but you chased them into the desert. To be honest, my method is to borrow the Black Pearl."”
Chu Liuxiang sighed,"This method is too wicked."”
"Can you deal with a person like him without using wicked methods?" Hu Tiehua laughed.”
He stood up and bowed to the two girls who had their eyes wide open.
"Although the two young ladies were wronged this time, this can prove his feelings for the two young ladies. The two of you have more or less gained something.”
Ying Yan pursed her lips and smiled.”
"You should be grateful to me, or else you'll never see Ji Bingyan's anxious look in your lifetime…" Hu Tiehua said, unable to refrain from laughing.
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but laugh,"In terms of skin thickness, I'm afraid even I can't compare to you."”
"If that's the case, please untie my hands. If I don't give you two cups of wine, how can I express my gratitude to you?"”
However, not only did Ji Bingyan not rush over in two hours, she also did not rush over in four hours. By the middle of the night, he still did not rush over.
Ying Yan and Bing Bing gradually stopped laughing.
"Maybe Young Master guessed wrong. Maybe he doesn't care as much about his lowly concubines as Young Master imagined."”
Hu Tiehua started to get anxious, but he smiled and said,"Don't worry, he will definitely come.”
"What if he doesn't come?" Ying Yan asked.
Hu Tiehua was startled and turned to look at Chu Liuxiang.
"Don't look at me, this is your business."”
"Of course it's my business. Do you think I'm in a hurry?" Hu Tiehua laughed. I knew he would come…"
"But if he wanted to come, wouldn't he have come long ago?"”
Hu Tiehua couldn't laugh anymore and stuttered,""Maybe…maybe he can't find this path.”
"He sent us on our way, how could we not find him?" Chu Liuxiang said.”
"Yeah!" Hu Tiehua sighed.
Chu Liuxiang said,"Unless he hasn't thought that it was you who did it."”
"I left quite a few clues there on purpose, so that no one can see through them," said Hu Tiehua.
But when Ji Bingyan was five years old, she could probably tell.”
"If that's the case, why hasn't he come yet?" Chu Liuxiang frowned.”
"If he really doesn't come, what does Young Master want to do with the lowly concubines?"”
"This…this I…" Ying Yan's eyes turned and she suddenly smiled."It's good that he doesn't come. This lowly concubine will follow young master!”
Hu Tiehua jumped up and shouted,"This won't do!"
"Could it be that Young Master thinks that lowly concubines are ugly?" Ying Yan asked.”
"I…I definitely didn't mean that, but…but…" Hu Tiehua said.
"Then what does Young Master mean?" Ying Yan asked.”"Young Master captured us. Can we…can we still be human in the future?"”As she spoke, her eyes turned red, as if tears would fall at any moment.
Hu Tiehua said anxiously," Good girl, I beg you. Please don't cry. When I see a girl's tears, I don't know what to do."”
"Then, why doesn't Young Master want us?" asked Ban Bing with red eyes.”
Hu Tiehua jumped up and shouted,"I just wanted to embarrass that damn rooster. I didn't mean to snatch his wife. I…Although I like you guys very much, but…"
"If Young Master likes us, we'll follow Young Master even more."”
"Anyway, he doesn't care about us at all, so why should we follow him?" Ying Yan also said sweetly.”
Hu Tiehua was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands. Chu Liuxiang, however, sat there with a clear conscience, smiling as she sipped her wine. Hu Tiehua rushed over and snatched his wine glass, shouting,"Chu Liuxiang, why aren't you thinking of a way for me?”
Chu Liuxiang smiled leisurely." I've already said that this is your own business. Besides, I'm happy for you to have two smart and beautiful girls following you!"”
"Chu Liuxiang!" Hu Tiehua shouted. You old bug, I don't care what you're thinking, but if you don't accompany me to send them back, I'll fight you to the death!”
Along the way, Ying Yan and Ban Bing could not help but giggle.
Ying Yan smiled,"Since you want to send us back, why did you snatch us out?"，"If you weren't so anxious, I wouldn't have gone."”
Chu Liuxiang looked at Hu Tiehua's bitter face and couldn't help but laugh."Hu Tiehua, I hope that you will know in the future that not every girl in this world is as easy to deal with as Gao Yanan. You think that Gao Yanan is easy to deal with because she likes you.”
Hu Tiehua smiled." That's right. From now on, I won't dare to say that I'll deal with women. Right now, I really want to kneel in front of Gao Yanan and smell her feet."”
Chu Liuxiang laughed,"You can understand this logic, so there's still a cure."”
"Since you're so smart, do you know why Ji Bingyan didn't come?" Hu Tiehua said with a pout.”
"If he knew that you would send them back, why did he come?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
Hu Tiehua did not speak for a long time. Then, he slowly said,"If he really thinks that way, then he's wrong! There were no such stupid people in the world. It was just that some people were unwilling to do something too smart.”
Chu Liuxiang sighed and said," This is why Ji Bingyan will get rich, but you will never be rich. This is also why everyone says you are cute."”
"So I'm cute? I didn't know until today…" Hu Tiehua laughed.
His laughter suddenly stopped because a long line suddenly appeared in the distance. There were carriages, horses, and seven or eight camels.
It was already late at night, and there was not even a shadow on the road. Why did this large group of people have to hurry so late at night? Hu Tiehua frowned. His entire body was filled with the blood of a busybody. When he encountered something strange, if he was not allowed to take a look, it would be worse than killing him.
Chu Liuxiang looked at him and smiled.”
Hu Tiehua frowned and rubbed his chin, muttering,""In the middle of the night, driving so many carriages and camels is naturally to avoid people's eyes and ears. In my opinion, these people are either bandits or robbers.”
"Could it be that you're trying to take advantage of me?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
"You were the one who reminded me of this idea!" Hu Tiehua laughed.”
He lifted the rope and rode forward.
Although there were many horses and camels in this line, there were only two people. One was the coachman sitting in the carriage, and the other was a big, black man.
The burly man was holding a whip that was more than ten feet long in his hand. He was wearing an old sheepskin vest, revealing his skin that was darker than iron and stronger.
He walked at the back of the team. Although he was alone, he took care of the dozen or so animals obediently. One by one, they followed along the roadside. Not a single one ran around and did not walk out of the team. It was like a team of veterans who had been trained for a long time.
The carriage looked very strange. It was squarish, like a coffin. The doors and windows were tightly shut, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
The more Hu Tiehua looked, the more he felt that this team was strange and evil. They did not look like bandits, merchants, or guards.
He couldn't help but drive his horse to the side of the tower-like man. He smiled and said,"Friend, you are still in a hurry to travel in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of the hardship?”
The burly man stared at him and did not speak.
Hu Tiehua then realized that his face was like the skin of a dried orange. It was full of bumps and there was not even an inch of smooth and clean skin.
Looking at his eyes, they were so gray that one could not even tell the white of his eyes from his eyeballs. No one would have thought that there would be someone in the world with such eyes.
Although his eyes were staring at Hu Tiehua, it was as if he did not see Hu Tiehua. His eyes seemed to be filled with evil, but they also seemed to be empty.
It was not interesting to see such a person on the road in the middle of the night. Hu Tiehua could not laugh even if he wanted to.
However, he had the temper to get to the bottom of it. The more people ignored him, the more he wanted to get to the bottom of it. He turned his horse around and pressed forward again, shouting,"Only people with a guilty conscience are unwilling to answer others. Friend, don't you have a guilty conscience?”
The burly man did not even glare at him this time. He simply ignored him.
