CH 24

There are only a handful of times in Genius Long’s two lifetimes when he is really angry. He usually does whatever he wants to do when he is angry. He has to lift the table, yell, and be the whole person, but when he is really angry, there is no expression on his delicate face.

He was born into a wealthy family and lived a high-class life since he was a child. He had a noble spirit in his bones. Later, he learned a lot from Lei Yan. He was also a senior member of the group. I have seen scenes of all sizes, so he has virtually practised ruthlessness.

Therefore, when he stared at you blankly, even if he didn’t say a word, there was still a cold sharpness that made people afraid to make random mistakes.

Yun Xian had already fainted, and the original shrinking pattern on his left shoulder and clavicle slowly spread out and then stopped. Genius Long intuitively changed it back to its original state, so Muzi hugged him to the bed and covered him with a quilt. The people watching the excitement in the room still hadn’t dispersed, but he forced them to take a big breath.

The movement was so loud, it was impossible for the steward of Cuixiang Pavilion to pretend that he didn’t know anything, so he also came out. His eyes turned on Genius Long and General Gu. His first reaction was to strangle his subordinates. How much of the world can the shopkeeper of a small inn in a backcountry see? Can his vision be believed?！ How could these two be businessmen?！

General Gu didn’t expect Xiao Wang Ye would look like this when he was angry. After a brief daze, his eyes sank in an instant, and his power began to increase. Whoever made this person feel bad, he would never make that person feel better!

Genius Long was afraid that they would disturb Yun Xian, so he asked Muzi to stay here, and he took these people back. The crowd wanted to follow, but he was swept away by his eyes and instantly they scattered.

The five people had been tied up when Yun Xian was immersed in the bathtub. Genius Long picked one casually and brought it in. He asked coldly: “Did you mean what happened tonight or did someone instruct you?”

These human traffickers are all human spirits, and naturally, they know that this person is not easy, but in this business, they all know the strength of Cuixiang Pavilion. That is, they must not offend. An unidentified person is put together with a force that involves countless powerful people in the capital… He said without thinking about it: “It’s what he meant.”

Genius Long asked Xiao Chong to block his mouth and press it on the ground, and then let the facial paralysis throw one in: “He said you were instructed by someone, is it true?”

The man was startled. It’s best not to be guilty of this kind of thing. If you don’t want to choose one, you must be on the side of Cuixiang Pavilion. But now that someone is willing, to tell the truth, Cuixiang Pavilion can blame him in the future. This person can be blamed, so he nodded indifferently: “Yes.”

The first person’s face suddenly turned grey.

Genius Long did the same, and the result was a positive answer. He didn’t let Xiao Chong take the cloth from their mouths, but looked at the first person: “Who instructed? Whenever you want to say something, you nod your head, and if you don’t nod your head once, I’ll break your finger, understand?”

The man’s face turned pale with fright. General Gu had already come in. He couldn’t help but look at him when he heard this, but he didn’t speak after all.

Genius Long took a sip of tea: “Xiao Cao, do it.”

Xiao Chong walked over with a smile, and he glanced at Genius Long secretly. This person… is far from the weak and deceitful appearance, and it is no wonder that he was taken by the general. He couldn’t help but feel that he was worthy of General Gu, with a really good vision.

Seeing Xiao Chong approaching, the man knew that this person was not joking, and now that the matter had reached this point, it was useless for him to hide it, and he nodded hurriedly.

So a few minutes later, the door of the steward’s room was kicked open, and his men were all in the room, and immediately stood in front of Uncle Lin: “What are you doing?”

Genius Long sneered: “What do you say I’m doing?” He strode forward, and one of his subordinates wanted to stop him when he saw this. His eyes narrowed and he used the fighting he had learned to the extreme. The speed was very fast. The man groaned in pain and fell to the ground.

Both General Gu and Xiao Chong were shocked. They couldn’t believe that this person would have such skills. They all looked at him together. They saw Genius Long slowly close his fists and slowly looked back at them. Then he shouted: “Ow ow ow! It hurts to death!”

General Gu and Xiao Chong: “…”

Xiao Wang Ye rolled on the floor with his hands in his arms, “It’s absolutely misplaced! What, it hurts! What kind of broken body is this!”

The original momentum disappeared in an instant, and everyone couldn’t accept it for a while, and they didn’t know how to react in a daze. Someone continued to roll around: “It’s really not what ordinary people can do to be cool, wow! It hurts!”

Xiao Chong wondered in his heart for the second time, is he still a man or not?

General Gu returned to his senses and stepped forward quickly: “Don’t move, let me see.”

Genius Long sucked his nose, got up pitifully and stretched out his arm to him: “It’s misplaced…”

General Gu pinched it and whispered, “Bear with it.”As soon as the voice fell, only a crisp sound was heard, and Genius Long howled again: “It hurts, it hurts! Hurt! You lighten up! Ahhh”

“Okay, I’ll give you medicine in a while.”

Genius Long hummed and was about to go back to continue his unfinished business, but saw the officers and soldiers coming, and the magistrate of the small town also arrived. He didn’t want to get up in the middle of the night, but it is said that this time it involved people from the capital. He had to follow just in case.

The officers and soldiers were sent by the steward to call. He originally wanted the officers and soldiers to get the traffickers away from Genius Long so as not to be caught up in something, but who knew this person asked so quickly.

Upon seeing this, General Gu pulled the magistrate aside, whispered a few words, and took out a sign. The magistrate was shocked. General Gu confessed a few more words. The magistrate trembled suddenly and looked at Genius Long. His eyes almost fell out in horror, secretly saying that he was right today.

Seeing that the magistrate suddenly stepped forward and turned around the person, the steward nodded and asked questions, and there was a thump in his heart. He secretly said that he really provoked the person he shouldn’t have provoked. It seems that today he can only go back to the government with them, and then do a deal or let the boss get him out.

He thought so, but Genius Long’s next words completely knocked him into hell.

“Send a few people to send them back to the capital together with the ones in my house. When I go back to the capital, I will deal with it myself. You will write a letter and let them bring it to Xiaohua. He should go back to the capital one step ahead of these people. You let him say hello to my brother,” Genius Long said coldly. “I don’t care which prison these people are in and who is in charge of this matter. It doesn’t matter if they die before I go back, but if they disappear out of thin air or are released…”

His eyes narrowed: “I want the group of people who are protecting to roll into reincarnation! I don’t believe that Shenghua still has people who dare to do those things under my brother’s eyelids!”

The magistrate naturally knew who his brother was, and nodded nonchalantly, calming him down by the way.

The steward’s face suddenly turned grey. To be able to say this, these people must be of great origin. He knew that this time it was really over. No matter how powerful Cuixiang Pavilion was involved, it was impossible for him to offend the powerful for an ordinary steward. He is destined to be regarded as an outcast by the boss.

Blame him for not being greedy for a while and moving people who can’t move.

The magistrate will handle the rest. Genius Long went to see Yun Xian and casually said, “Go back and look through the law to see what their crime is.”

General Gu and Xiao Chong followed silently, without speaking. Genius Long knew in his heart that if he kidnapped someone and still tried to kidnap someone, how much could he be sentenced? He gritted his teeth: “No matter how light the sentence is, I will let them peel off! Huh? You said that if I said that Yun Xian is the younger brother I recognize, isn’t he also the Royal Family?” He smiled ‘Hehe’, “Kidnapping the Royal Family, shouldn’t they be guilty of a serious crime this time?”

“…” General Gu looked at him with a palsy on his face.

“…” Xiao Chong thought that he would never offend this person in the future. He asked with a smile, “”So it’s your royal relative?”

“Don’t pretend, didn’t you guess it a long time ago, haven’t you heard of pretending to be struck by lightning?”

“…” Xiao Chong silently went back to sleep.

Yun Xian’s face was still very white and his body was cold, so Genius Long asked for another quilt to cover him and sat by the bed to look at him, his eyes very heavy. General Gu stood aside and finally spoke: “Do you care about him so much?”

“Yes,” Genius Long said in a low voice, “I know you can’t understand, but he is my relative, and I don’t want him to have anything to do,” He paused, his voice lighter, “I don’t want you to have anything to do either.”

General Gu trembled in his heart: “Why?”

“Because I only have two of you in this world…” Genius Long whispered. He is not a person who can bear loneliness, and he is also not a person who is easy to make friends with others. So far, he only has a sense of closeness to these two people. Without them, he couldn’t imagine how to live alone in this strange dynasty.

“I treat Yun Xian as my own brother, and you,” he looked up, “I will tell you personally when I figure out how I feel about you.”

General Gu looked at him. This person’s gaze was rare and quiet. He looked at him steadily for a while, couldn’t help but kiss him on the forehead, and picked him up horizontally: “You are tired, go back to sleep. The wrist injury should also be dealt with. I will give you medicine.”

Genius Long was indeed tired, so he didn’t refuse and shrank into his arms: “Will he be okay?”

“No, it’s really not possible. I’ll call a doctor tomorrow to have a look.”

“Hmm.”

Yun Xian’s consciousness was blurred, he only felt sore all over, and he couldn’t use any strength. This symptom was exactly the same as the feeling after being transpired by a certain man countless times before. He couldn’t help whispering: “Hey, I’m cold…”

He thought that the man would rub over and hug him when he heard it, but he waited for a while but there was no movement, and then he finally opened his eyes. It was already bright outside, and the surroundings were a little strange. He stayed for a while and suddenly remembered what happened last night. This was the first time the Gu (compulsion) in his body became powerful. He never thought it would hurt so much.

His body was still uncomfortably cold. Although the culprit was that person, at this moment he had the urge to plunge into that person’s arms to keep warm. He couldn’t help but cover his eyes with one hand and leaned low.

At this moment, the door of the room creaked open, and a few people came in. When Genius Long saw this, he hurriedly rushed over and threw himself on the bed: “Ow! Xiao Yun Xian! You finally woke up!”

Yun Xian groaned: “Don’t press me, it’s uncomfortable.”

Genius Long got up: “How are you? Do you want to call a doctor? Oh, are you hungry? I will let the kitchen cook for you.”

Yun Xian’s heart warmed: “I’m not hungry, I’m fine, just get some sleep, don’t worry.”

Genius Long nodded, then rubbed over: “Xiao Yun Xian, what the hell is that on your shoulder?”

Xiao Chong was also in the room, and when he heard this, he shook his fan and asked with a smile: “Is it Gu?”

Yun Xian responded: “I love Gu.”

Genius Long’s eyes widened: “Is it the kind of Gu who will fall in love with others immediately after getting off the plane?”

“…” Yun Xian said, “Brother, you have watched too many TV series. This kind of thing can only control the body, not the nerves.”

“What’s the use?”

“…” Yun Xian’s expression was a little distorted, “Brother, don’t ask.”

Genius Long bit his finger and thought for a while, stretched out his paws and said with a pure expression: “Could it be that if the person who is bewitched wants to be with you… you can’t refuse?” He paused, “Hey, what happened to you last night? I remember there is a spring-medicine ingredient…uh…” He blinked, purer, “Does it hurt that much if you want to have sex with someone ……?”

“…” Yun Xian turned over silently, without saying a word, which was regarded as the default.

Genius Long grasped his hand and said almost pathetically: “Xiao Yun Xian, why do you think you are always so unlucky? It’s not enough that you’ve been fucked by a man, but you can only do it with him in the future, and you can’t even go to a brothel -courtyard and the small brothel. So many beauties can be seen or touched there. Do you think you are miserable?”

“Brother, you’re enough, stop talking…”

Genius Long continued: “Xiao Yun Xian, I really want to meet your man. Why do you think he is so talented?”

“…you really have enough.”

“I think he is a very sensible and interesting person. Do you have tools? What kind of binding is it like, a whip, wax dripping…”

“…you think too much.”

“Hey, I think the binding is good, Xiao Yun Xian, you are so beautiful, if you are naked and tied with a circle of red lines, it would be really… Tsk tsk… I can’t help but be tempted, hey, in fact, the chain is also good… Really, consider it.”

“……”

Xiao Wang Ye was eventually dragged out by General Gu, because the more he said, the more straightforward he became, and people couldn’t listen to it. Yun Xian finally got out of his clutches and fell asleep again. The body recovered almost the same, and their group hit the road again and continued to play.

Shenghua’s army returned to the imperial city in a mighty manner. In addition to the victory, the heroic deeds of Xiao Wang Ye gradually spread, passing ten or ten to a hundred, becoming the most talked about the topic after tea and dinner.

So when they were playing this day passed by a tea shed and stopped to drink tea, they heard the latest rumours being told vividly at the next table: “To say that our Xiao Wang Ye of Shenghua, that is really a young hero, not afraid of life and death, went to the enemy camp alone, and had a long conversation with Yun Xian, the military division of Beimo. He was stunned and asked Yun Xian to bow down and be a minister. The two fought in blood, with one hundred enemies, killing thousands of enemies, like a god of war descending to the earth, in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, they captured the true king Doji, seriously injured King Ulla of Vidan, and then left alone. The general led an army to arrive and beat the Beimo to the sound of ghosts and wolves!”

As soon as the voice fell, Genius Long and Yun Xian sprayed tea together, fell on the table and coughed violently: “Ahem…”

Genius Long coughed for a while before looking up. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he twitched the corners of his mouth: “Tea…it’s a bit hot…”

Here Yun Xian also raised his head from the table, the two of them looked at each other, poured a cup of tea one after another, touched the cup, and drank it all.

Xiao Chong was surprised: “What is it?”

“It’s nothing, just a little bit of emotion,” Genius Long said. “It’s the first time it’s become a hot spot nowadays. I’m not used to it.”

“That’s right,” Yun Xian said, “For the first time in so long, you can’t understand our mood on the Weekly Entertainment Gossip.”

Both General Gu and Xiao Chong fell silent, and after a while, Xiao Chong asked, “What does this mean?”

“Yo, it’s very good. Just ask if you know it or not,” Genius Long praised. “It’s not like someone with facial paralysis who is silent if he doesn’t understand. He has nothing to pretend to be deep. Does he think he can understand by silence?”

A certain paralysis: “……”

Xiao Chong frowned: “Then what did you mean by what you just said?”

Genius Long spread his hands: “No comment.”

“……”

Don’t know when the topic over there changed, and one person said, “It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days.”

“Yes, I wish we could be together for a long time and share the moon for a thousand miles.”

“Puff!” Genius Long couldn’t help but spray again.

“Oh, he has burned again. Yun Xian looked at everyone and said, then dragged someone who was still coughing violently, and quickly ran to a small corner to nest: “Brother, are you okay?”

“No, what the hell is going on? They’re plagiarising, pirating!”

Yun Xian nodded in agreement: “That’s right, it also explains the moon. You see, People like ‘Su Shi‘ and they use it a lot. Gong Chanjun, how can it be that I don’t know who wrote the words here, Gong Yueyue?”

“This is not the point,” Genius Long stared at him, “The point is what’s going on?”

Yun Xian said Ahhh: “Brother, since history has changed, the great man we are familiar with may not even be born. Do you know that?”

“Of course.”

“Then you see, there is tea here, which means that someone invented tea tasting, there is paper, which means that someone invented papermaking, and there are tables and chairs and a series of things. Can you understand what I mean?”

Genius Long nodded blankly: “There is always the first person to eat crabs, but this person may not be familiar to us.”

“Well, but I think there is a certain number somewhere. You see, the imperial city of Zenan is Jianye. That was the name that Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms used to have when he moved to the capital. But obviously, there is no experience of the Three Kingdoms, but there is still Jianye. Not only that, but I also found that the origin of some idioms and festivals is similar to what we are familiar with,” Yun Xian said, “So maybe one day you will hear some famous sentences from other people, but the source is a complete stranger to us, brother, you will slowly get used to it.”

Genius Long nodded again in a daze, and then looked at him: “You said that if I make a few famous poems, will I be immortal?”

Yun Xian looked at him for a long time: “I really haven’t thought about this question.”

Genius Long came back with his head held high, poured a cup of tea, and coughed lightly: “I and a pot of wine, among the flowers, I drink alone, for no friends close to me. Raising my cup, I asked the bright moon to have a drink with me, she(the moon), my shadow and me make three drinking people.”

Everyone was shocked and looked at him in unison, and General Gu and Xiao Chong also looked at him in surprise.

Genius Long opened his mouth and then opened it again, and finally put his cup of tea down and silently turned his head: “Let’s go, let’s go on our way.”

After speaking, he left first, climbed into the carriage under the watch of everyone, and disappeared in an instant. Yun Xian followed up in surprise, sitting next to him and looking left and right: “Brother, why don’t you keep on reciting? How famous is Li Bai’s “Drinking Alone under the Moon”?

Genius Long was expressionless: “I know.”

“Then why don’t you keep on reciting it?”

Genius Long was silent, and finally said: “I forgot what’s down there…”

“……what?Ahhahahaha!” Yun Xian was taken aback and then twitched instantly.
