Chapter 622: Interesting Stories of Youth

The weather is good and the weather will be fine and sunny for the next few days.

The journey back to Beijing when the imperial guards escorted the prisoners was uneventful, and nothing unpleasant happened. However, May was already the beginning of summer, and the weather was getting hotter towards the end of the month. The sunny weather would only add to the suffering.

The Imperial Guardsmen were wearing silver armor, and the hot sun was making people sweat. The people sitting in the prison cars were even more uncomfortable. They were all haggard. For them, the huge gap from being a rich lady to a prisoner was just a matter of time. Like falling from heaven to hell, the despair and desolation that surrounds you can destroy all hope of a person.

All the eyes revealed were deathly silence.

Carrying the mighty prison car, the speed of the journey was naturally much slower. Fortunately, the journey went smoothly without any accidents. Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao were happy to enjoy their leisure time behind them.

Xie Jiuye is really interested in Little Leopard's past. Although he is always very distressed, he can't stop listening to it. The more he listens, the more he wants to know more.

Of course, in exchange, he would occasionally intersperse stories about his childhood, just to adjust the atmosphere. The two of them walked and talked all the way, uncovering the interesting and embarrassing things about their childhoods.

For example, Xuanyuan Yao was later punished by Rong Yu. For a long time, he was as obedient as a cat. He would practice archery whenever he was asked, and he would never miss a quarter of an hour after four hours; He didn't dare to slack off at all; if he was told that there would be a drill in the military camp the next day, he could stay in front of the sand table all night without sleeping. Of course, at that time, if Xuanyuan Yao had any doubts in his heart, he would dare to ask for advice, and he would not do it again. I think that's a shameful thing.

For example, Xie Jin was beautiful when he was young. Several concubine brothers in the family laughed at him for looking like a little girl, wondering if his mother had not given birth to a son, so they raised the little girl Xie Jin as a son. At a young age, Xie Jin was not annoyed or angry, and sued his father on his own - his reasons were very good and there was no nonsense.

The core sentence is just one sentence: the concubine brothers openly mocked and insulted the mistress and the legitimate son, and made false accusations.

The brothers did not expect that he would go directly to his father to complain, and they were trembling with fear.

Xie Shoufu asked Xie Jin what he wanted to do with them, but Xie Jin was kind: "I want to see my brothers in skirts. They must be very charming. By the way, go into the water and catch me some koi. I'll ask the kitchen to add food in the evening."

Of course, koi cannot be used to add vegetables, but the Ninth Young Master cannot disobey his request. Who dares to say anything?

Unfortunately, it was late autumn, and the lake was not frozen but was bone-chilling. The seven-year-old Xie Jin stood leisurely on the pontoon with a smile and kindness on his face, despite the resentful and murderous looks of several concubine brothers. Watching them change into skirts one by one, he praised: "Brothers are really beautiful."

At that time, several of the Xie family's concubines wanted to push Xie Jin into the water and drown him, so as to end this scourge once and for all.

However, they didn't dare. Not only did they not dare, they had to obey his wishes. They wore the skirts that women only wear in summer and walked into the water shivering. As soon as they entered the water, their faces turned pale and their lips turned pale from the cold. Qing, the koi carps were so frightened that they fled in all directions. A few bastards tried their best to catch one or two koi carps, but Xie Jin was either too big or too small, or else he thought the color was not good-looking and would disturb the cook. play.

All in all, they forced several bastards to freeze in the water for nearly half an hour. Their bodies were stiff from the cold, their limbs were numb, and they were about to die. When they begged for mercy, their teeth chattered so much that they could hardly speak a complete sentence.

Xie Jincai showed mercy and asked: "Brothers, do you like the skirts you are wearing?"

Dare they say they don't like it?

Although their hearts were filled with anger, their mouths were trembling with coldness: "Hi, hi, hi... I like it..."

"As long as the brothers like it." Seven-year-old Xie Jin smiled particularly cheerfully, "Then next time I want to see my brothers wear it, I hope they won't reject me."

The brothers really wanted to reach out and drag him down and drown him in the lake.

But there are several Xie family guards with strong martial arts standing on the pontoon. Anyone who dares to take action will just stay in the lake to feed the fish today without going up again.

"Brothers look particularly beautiful in their skirts standing in the water." Xie Jin praised, "They look like playful beauties, um, they look like hibiscus emerging from the water?"

There are no words to describe the expressions of the concubines, because they are all so cold that they can't even see their expressions except green and white.

When Xie Jin finally showed mercy and allowed them to come up, several of them had cramps in their legs and feet and had been dragged out by the guards.

"How cruel." Xuanyuan Yao was speechless after hearing this, "Ajin, your cruelty is really deep in your bones."

Xie Jin glanced at him: "What Yao Yao said, should I be bullied and not fight back?"

Xuanyuan Yao choked and smiled: "Not really."

"I'm different from Yao Yao." Xie Jin said indifferently, "As the legitimate son of a powerful official in the imperial capital, without some scheming and means, you can't survive in that circle, let alone make people fear you. They don't fear you, They will try to bully you more and more. Human nature is like this. It flatters the superior and suppresses the inferior. It bullies the good and fears the evil. "

Even if his father can protect him, sooner or later there will be places where he cannot be protected. Only by becoming stronger can he protect himself and make others afraid.

Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Ajin is right, different environments are destined to have different ways of survival. There is not so much intrigue in the military camp, so I always ignore the power struggle and the horror of human nature."

Xie Jin looked at him leisurely: "Yaoyao will also integrate into the environment of the imperial capital in the future. Although the military camp is still the main focus, sometimes it is inevitable to face some annoying things. I will protect you then, don't worry."

"I'm not worried." Xuanyuan Yao replied subconsciously, "Even if there is no You——"

Xie Jin curled his lips and smiled: "Yaoyao, speak nicely."

Xuanyuan Yao wanted to say that even without you, I still have a backer, but when he saw Xie Jin's beautiful face like a fox, he suddenly thought of his current relationship with Xie Jin, and turned a corner, "Well, with you here, there is nothing to worry about."

Xie Jin was very pleased to hear this, and his expression was obviously happier: "Yaoyao is so good."

Xuanyuan Yao wanted to sneer, but the corners of his mouth did not turn down, but instead curved upwards, with a touch of arrogance in his eyebrows.

Although the weather was a bit hot, for Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao at this time, they really hoped that time could pass slower, slower, and it would be better if they could walk a month on the road back to the imperial capital.

But although they had this idea, they could not stop Chu Hongyi from wanting to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, so that it only took half a month to escort the prisoner back to the imperial city on the fourth day of June.
