Chapter 18
Lu Wuchen returned to the small courtyard with half a bag of mushrooms and a processed pheasant. Gongsun Xie had already boiled the fish soup to fill the courtyard with aroma.
Seeing Lu Wuchen coming back from the window, Gongsun Xie came over to take the things and said, "Take a break, I'll call you when I'm ready." He went to wash the mushrooms and cut the chicken.
Gongsun Xie's voice was back to normal, and the pills that Lu Wuchen fed last night had already worn off by this time.
Lu Wuchen didn't go to rest, but leaned against the door to watch Lu Wuchen wash vegetables and cook.Looking at it, he suddenly laughed.
Gongsun Xie was puzzled, looked up at Lu Wuchen and said, "What's the matter, Wuchen, is my face stained?" He raised his sleeve and wiped his face, but instead wiped some water stains.
Lu Wuchen didn't answer him, but asked: "Are you going to just wash your hands with me and make soup like this from now on?"
Gongsun Xie was stunned, and said nostalgicly: "I used to cook in Xuanmen, and you asked me if I would cook for you for the rest of my life. Of course I agreed, you may have forgotten."
Lu Wuchen said: "Well, just do it, anyway, I'm too lazy to do it." After saying that, he walked to the main room.
"Wu Chen," Gongsun Xie called him, Lu Wuchen turned around and motioned for him, Gongsun Xie asked, "The person in the woods just now is from Qingshan outside the mountain, right?"
Lu Wuchen said: "Why, do you recognize him?"
Gongsun Xie said: "We met once. Ten years ago, he escorted us all the way. Although we only saw half of his face, there should be no mistake."
Lu Wuchen nodded and said: "Yes, it's him, Shen Feng from the green hills outside the mountains, finally married Shen Canyue two years ago, and now he is the young master who is not old." He smiled and said, "I know you have seen it." The only thing I can’t forget is reading books, so I can also read people.”
Gongsun Xie secretly said: "I used to walk with you. I don't even look at other people, so I can't remember." Holding the mushroom, he hesitated for a long time and then asked, "...Wu Chen, the people in the green hills outside the mountains were martial arts. What Meng is looking for is...you looking for?"
Lu Wuchen was a little surprised that Gongsun Xie asked this question, smiled and said: "I have known you for more than [-] years, I always thought that you were stupid except for being good-looking and good at medicine. It turns out that Feng Wuchang didn't say Wrong, you are really not that stupid."
Gongsun Xie couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, looking a little sad: "Since when did you know that I was going to be an internal response, and then started to make arrangements?"
Lu Wuchen said: "From the beginning."
Gongsun Xie was stunned, and looked at Lu Wuchen in disbelief, eyes full of astonishment.
Lu Wuchen was not moved by his pity, and continued without relenting: "The Wulin League sent many internal agents, but they failed to get through the Eternal Life Cult. The people of the Wulin League thought that maybe they should change the method. For example, Mingxiu plank road, Keep Chen Cang in the dark. So there are two insiders sent by the Taoist sect, and you are on the bright side, but they are really counting on me."
Gongsun Xie was shocked by Lu Wuchen's words, his face was full of grievances: "So whether it's Master Mo's chase order, or you chase me down, are they all arranged?"
Lu Wuchen said: "Yes," Gongsun Xie turned pale, but he continued, "No. The original intention is that you can find out the terrain of the Eternal Life Sect if you go to the Eternal Life Sect, and we will prepare other reasons for future Exchange with the Eternal Life Sect with you as a bargaining chip, and give the Eternal Life Sect bait."
"you?"
"Me, Master, President Bai and Shu Chi. Many people probably don't know that Shu Chi is the apprentice of President Bai. So she also has a part in this plan. But unfortunately, the plan that was prepared was useless in the end, because you were right before you left. I took medication, so it ended up being what it is now."
"That's good." Gongsun Xie was deceived, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he said happily, "If that's the case, then Wuchen also likes me, right?"
What Gongsun Xie cared about was not being deceived, but his own attitude. Lu Wuchen couldn't help but said, "This is the only thing you care about?"
"Only this." Gongsun Xie said while pinching the mud on the mushroom root, "I entered Taoism when I was six years old, and almost lost contact with my family. I have been around you for so many years, and you are the most important thing in my heart." Whether it is the Wulin League or you, even if I am a pawn, as long as I am on your chessboard, I will be happy."
Lu Wuchen didn't speak for a long time, and at the end he just said "fool", left Gongsun Xie behind and went to the back of the yard.
After the two had dinner, Gongsun Xie finished packing and went back to the house, while Lu Wuchen was reading at the desk outside.The shadow of the candle was flickering, and Lu Wuchen was watching very intently. When he was reading, Gongsun Xie just watched him, and he couldn't get tired of reading it.
Lu Wuchen put down the book and looked at Gongsun Xie, who was making medicine opposite, and looked at him directly: "Why are you staring at me, I have flowers on my face?"
Gongsun Xie smiled, and said honestly, "No, but it's prettier than flowers."
Lu Wuchen snorted, put down the book and started to dismantle the wooden bird again.Seeing this, Gongsun Xie took off the lampshade and cut off the lantern flower, and the candle was brighter, but Lu Wuchen didn't fiddle with it a few times, but put down the wooden bird and started reading again.Gongsun Xie simply moved the stool to the desk and put the medicine mortar on his lap, only an arm's length away from Lu Wuchen.Occasionally he got up to get herbs, and Lu Wuchen felt the lights beside him change.
Seeing Gongsun Xie always walking around beside him, Lu Wuchen said with a look of disgust: "Go to sleep if you have nothing to do, don't keep wandering around."
Gongsun Xie was a little shy, his handsome face was a little red by the candlelight: "I drank a little too much, I can't sleep for a while." During dinner, Lu Wuchen took a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine from somewhere, and the two drank it separately. Wu Chen drank two bowls of fish soup first, so most of the wine ended up in Gongsun Xie's stomach.
Lu Wuchen heard that Gongsun Xie's voice was not as cool as usual, he seemed a little drunk, he simply threw the book on the table, leaned back on the chair and hooked his fingers at him.
Gongsun Xie blushed even more, he held the pestle tightly and looked left and right, but he didn't look at Lu Wuchen.
Lu Wuchen laughed in a low voice, laughing so hard that Gongsun Xie became dizzy and began to wander.Hearing that Lu Wuchen pulled away the chair and got up, he thought he was gone, so he hurriedly looked up, but his eyes dimmed, and Lu Wuchen actually walked in front of him.
Seeing Lu Wuchen lowering his head, Gongsun Xie had a teasing smile on Yinglang's face: "Why, you dared to drug me back then, but now you don't even dare to look at it?" Lu Wuchen gently pressed against his ear, and exhaled The heat made his ears turn red, "I thought you were ungrateful, but suddenly you came so steeply, I was shocked."
"Wuchen, I'm sorry, I made a mistake first, you can retaliate however you want." Gongsun Xie recalled that the color on his face had faded and turned whiter.
Lu Wuchen retreated back and sat on the table, condescendingly said: "Oh, how do you plan to compensate me?"
Gongsun Xie looked at Lu Wuchen seriously, and said firmly, "If you want, I want to follow you and take care of you for the rest of my life."
Lu Wuchen laughed, turned sideways and fiddled with the pen in the pen holder casually, and said, "If you let me follow me, your wish is fulfilled. You are the one who took advantage, right?"
Gongsun Xie put the medicine mortar aside, grabbed Lu Wuchen's hand and held it: "Then are you willing to make my wish come true?"
Being watched by Gongsun Xie affectionately, Lu Wuchen still smiled casually: "What do you think?"
Gongsun Xie said: "I can't beat you. If you drive me away, I can't do anything. I can only follow in a stern manner. I don't dare to drug you again."
Lu Wuchen snorted coldly: "It's enough to hit you with one blow. If you dare again, you will be poisoned into a waste." He grabbed Gongsunxie's wrist with his backhand and pulled him to the inside.
Gongsun Xie was stunned for a moment, his face turned red again when he thought of something.Walking behind, he glanced at the back of Lu Wuchen's neck and moved away, looked again and then moved away, back and forth, his face became redder, and he smiled contentedly unconsciously.
