Chapter 16 Dress Up 4

I know that it is difficult to support the feelings that are gradually ignited, so it's better to give up. Thinking of this, I turned my head and shouted, "Dern."

Kwain didn't say anything.

I raised my voice and shouted again: "Done!"

Kai En, who was sitting on the door, fell on the head and almost fell to the ground. In such a long time, he can even fall asleep! Realizing that I was calling him, he quickly raised his hand and wiped his mouth, stood up dizzy and ran towards me.

I wanted to say "Send her back" to En, but I didn't think about it right and said, "Send her away."

"Yes!"

Amaranth's eyes moved a few times, and their eyes were like a cold arrow shot at me in the moonlight. She looked straight at me, with a helpless resentment in her eyes. This is the first time I have seen resentment in her eyes. I can't bear to look at her anymore.

When Amaranth turned to leave, I asked her, "Before, someone ordered the city guards to splash water on the wall. A few days ago, someone dressed up as me and asked Liu Zhong to order to set up a sharp stake on the wall. I've always wanted to know who that man is. Could it be...?"

Amaranth turned around and moved his mouth. I heard a sentence: "I have never known who that man is, is it?"

The voice and tone of the speech are exactly the same as mine. It even makes me suspect that it is the echo of what I just said.

Although he didn't say anything, he stared at Amaranth with a surprised face.

Amaranth didn't look at me anymore. He slowly stepped over the exit door and left.

Early the next morning, when En came to my room, I had just finished washing. He inexplicably handed me a sachet. I took a look and found that this was the one that fell out of Liu Zhong's body some time ago.

"That woman asked me to give it to you." Kyoun said.

At this time, I realized that no wonder I think this sachet is so familiar. It turns out that its owner is amaranth. I remember that when she met amaranth in the "Immortal Pavilion" for the first time, she held this sachet in her hand. The last time I saw this sachet, I only felt familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

In addition to the last time I picked up the sachet and returned it to Liu Zhong, this time I held it in my hand and looked at it carefully. As I looked at the sachet through the sunlight through the roof skylight, I asked En, "What did she say?"

"She didn't say anything."

"This sachet" I raised it in front of Kone and asked, "But the one I lost a few days ago?"

Kwain nodded and said, "That's the one."

"I know, you go out."

"Sima." Qian didn't go out, but stepped forward and whispered to me.

"What's the matter?"

"Is that what happened to Liu Zhong?"

Huh? What's wrong with the world? I guessed that Liu Zhong collected this sachet because he, like me, had an admiration for amaranth. But from the meaning of Kuan, it seems that Liu Zhong and Wei Er have some unusual relationship. I couldn't help feeling tight.

"His sachet was snatched from the people's homes."

I breathed a little relief.

I asked, "What people took this from?" What's the use of robbing this?"

"Sima, you don't know that Liu Zhong likes the woman last night."

"Does the world like amaranth?" Sure enough, I guessed it.

"Yes." Kwain confirmed, "When the woman was exiled to Huiji, she took this sachet to the pawnshop. Unexpectedly, the sachet was in the hands of a people engaged in the silk trade, and then turned to the sentence. Liu Zhong recognized that this was the woman's sachet, but no matter what method was used, the people were unwilling to take action. So Liu Zhong took a few soldiers to rob them. I lost a few money and bought it for the people.

"That's right" Koughten seems to remember something, "Do you remember what happened the night the South Gate was lost?"

"Hmm?"

"When the thief suddenly attacked the city that day, I woke you up. Liu Zhong was not in the house."

I remember this very well. The situation was very urgent that day. I couldn't find Liu Zhongren, but he hurried in from outside the door, panting. There were also a few soldiers behind, with a nervous look on his face. At that time, although I felt that their behavior was strange, the war was in full and I didn't care about their business.

"That night, Liu Zhong took someone to grab the sachet."

I asked, "How can you know so clearly?"

"This is the only thing you don't know, Sima. Besides, on the way to see my fellow countryman and the woman off yesterday, I saw the woman take out the sachet. After I asked, she told me what had happened. Before saying goodbye, she asked me to give you this sachet.

"Oh?" Hearing Kan's tone, it seemed that amaranth didn't mean to send me a sachet, so he thought of giving it to me at the last minute. I caught this detail, thought about it for a while, and felt very subtle. For a while, I still didn't understand what the reason was.

"Why did it come back to her?" I asked.

"This is a coincidence. It turned out that the man who redeemed the sachet was not redeemed for the sachet, but for the woman. I want to return it to her, but I don't know her whereabouts. It happened that the man saw her in the stream, so he told her the whereabouts of the sachet. The woman knew that Liu Zhong was bullying others and wanted to teach him a lesson. He found an opportunity to make Liu Zhong suffer some losses and took away the sachet.

"Oh. So that's it." I looked at the sachet for a long time, and then said to Kuan, "Don't you know that Liu Zhong likes her?"

"I don't know that."

"Don't tell anyone about this. You go first. After breakfast, I went to visit the village.

After Kuangne left, I called Liu Zhong in and held up the sachet and said to him, "Is this sachet the one you wore the other day?"

"It looks the same." Liu Zhong replied.

"What about the one you wore the day before yesterday?"

Liu Zhong lowered his head and said no.

"It's probably this one. Someone picked it up and sent it to me. Take it back."

Liu Zhong hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it.

I waved back Liu Zhong, but my heart was very uneasy.

I originally wanted to put away Amaranth's sachet, but I was moved when I heard Kuan that Liu Zhong liked Amaranth. Liu Zhong is young and has no family. Although he has no combat achievements, he is also very brave. If trained, he can also become a general in the future. If he and Amaranth are in love, they are a good match.

Although the sachet was given to me by Amaranth, if the two of them can be matched, it is not bad to give this sachet to Liu Zhong.

The room was quiet, but my heart surged with waves: yesterday, when I saw amaranth, I almost broke the decision to leave amaranth in Wu County, and I was saddened by her departure last night; today, I have to give her things casually and set her up with others. What are the contradictions?

Why do I think that after many years of experience and being calm, I always do something that surprises me when I meet amaranth?
