Chapter 739 Acting Is Also Very Tiring

Xie Jin hummed: "Indeed."

Xuanyuan Chen's eyes were warm and his tone became more serious: "Although it's for the sake of doing the job, it's really outrageous for you to do this."

He put down the curtain and went to sit aside.

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ah Chen seemed to have become a little bolder, and he even dared to scold him.

Okay, the boy is teachable.

Xuanyuan Chen sat on the chair and watched, while Xie Jin read the topographic map under the cover of the curtain, remembering all the marks, open and hidden doors, and where the defense was weak and easy to escape.

Then he folded the topographic map and kicked Zong Yushang, "Keep this."

"Hmm?" Zong Yushang was kicked awake with sleepy eyes, opened her eyes and saw the topographic map in Xie Jin's hand, "Burn it..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his hoarse voice scared himself and Xuanyuan Chen outside.

Xuanyuan Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at the curtain hanging on the bedside in disbelief.

Zong Yuchang was also startled and couldn't fall asleep instantly. She stood up and looked at Xie Jin: "My voice is a little hoarse."

"Yeah." Xie Jin said calmly, "I shouted too much last night."

Xuanyuan Chen pursed his lips, his face flushed and darkened, and he was so ashamed and angry that he didn't know what expression to put on.

Zong Yuchang was silent for a long time, and felt that this sentence of shouting too much made him feel a little helpless. If he had doubted why the prince of Huainan was willing to be captured by Xie Jin before, he now understood it completely - Xie Jin's shameless and shameless character, no matter how strong a man is, he can't resist.

"Not only is it hoarse, but it's also very thirsty." Zong Yuchang said, putting the topographic map back under his bed, and then got up and got out of bed, "I'm going to go down to drink water, otherwise my throat will smoke."

Every time he said a word, Xuanyuan Chen's face sank a point. He couldn't imagine how fierce the battle between the two last night was, and...

Did he sleep too deeply last night? There was no sound at all.

He looked coldly at Zong Yuchang who had just lifted the bed curtain and walked out. Zong Yuchang naturally felt a pair of cold eyes as soon as he got out of bed. He subconsciously looked up and met Xuanyuan Chen's cold eyes.

The four eyes met, and sparks flew in the air.

Zong Yuchang curled her lips and smiled, ignoring Xuanyuan Chen's anger, with a bit of pride between her eyebrows: "Last night, the master slept with me on the same bed, so Mr. Chen had to be wronged by the window all night. I hope Mr. Chen will not be surprised."

Xuanyuan Chen said coldly: "Shameless."

"I was originally planning to sleep for a while, but you two are fighting." Xie Jin raised his hand to fix the curtain, turned his head and looked at Xuanyuan Chen, "Sure enough, I shouldn't have brought you here yesterday."

Xuanyuan Chen had no expression on his face.

Xie Jin got up and dressed, and said to Zong Yushang: "Ask your servants in the courtyard to fetch water. I have to deal with disaster relief work after you finish cleaning up."

Zong Yushang nodded and was about to call for help, but suddenly his hoarse voice rang out through the door. He didn't know if it could be heard, so he simply walked over and tried to open the door himself. However, he suddenly stopped before opening the door, lowered his head and glanced at his clothes, turned around and walked back, took off his outer robe and threw it on the ground beside the bed, and only wore a white inner garment to open the door.

Xuanyuan Chen watched his actions silently, with a thoughtful expression.

After opening the door, Zong Yuchang raised his hand and waved. The servant waiting in the yard came over trotting: "Master, are you awake?"

"Go get some water." The hoarseness of his voice did not affect Zong Yuchang's speech, but his voice was not as clear and pleasant as usual, which made people imagine things. "Get more water. My master, Mr. Chen and I all need it."

The servant nodded and looked at Zong Yuchang hesitantly: "Master, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Zong Yuchang frowned: "Just go if I tell you to go, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Yes, yes! I'll go right away."

Zong Yuchang closed the door and sighed softly. Acting is also very tiring. You have to be careful not to leave any flaws at any time. After all, dealing with the group of old foxes at home, you must be careful every step.

If it were in the past, Zong Yuchang would really not be able to retaliate by relying on his own strength, but this time with the help of the court, he was just helping others, which was also the smallest effort to do the biggest thing.

After the servant called, the three of them washed and changed their clothes and quickly left the room.

A young man walked into the yard, looked at Zong Yuchang and sneered: "The sound of the eleventh brother's scream last night was really beautiful. I could hear such joy from a long distance."

As soon as the voice fell, Xie Jin, who was dressed neatly, came out of the room, raised his hand to tidy up the hair at the root of Zong Yuchang's ears, with a little intimate and doting gesture: "Yuchang, who is this?"

Zong Yuchang's voice was hoarse but soft: "The second brother of the uncle's family."

The four sons of the Zong family head all lived in this old house. After getting married, the first and second houses were independent, and the cousins ​​were ranked according to age. Zong Yuchang was the youngest among the cousins, ranking eleventh, so he was called the eleventh brother.

The speaker was Zong Zhiyuan, the second son of the first house.

"Thank you, sir." Zong Zhiyuan quickly put on a smile, "Grandfather asked me to come and see if the lord has gotten up. Breakfast has been prepared in the front hall. The lord should be hungry. Why don't we go over and have breakfast now?"

Xie Jin stretched his body with a satisfied expression on his face: "I wanted to sleep a little longer, but I had a hangover last night and had a headache. In addition, someone knocked on the door early in the morning to disturb my sleep, which made me unable to sleep... What's wrong with your family? Is it so difficult for me to sleep?"

Early in the morning, they sent people to see if they got up one after another. Whether it was because they were watching too closely or because they were too curious, I'm afraid only they themselves knew.

Zong Zhiyuan hurriedly apologized: "It's all because the servants are too tactless and disturbed your sweet dreams. I will punish them later."

As he said this, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at Xuanyuan Chen standing behind Xie Jin on the left side. He saw that his face was as cold as ice, and he knew what was going on. He couldn't help but sneer. The adults from the imperial capital didn't look like good people. On the surface, they were all for the people, but in private, they didn't know how many dirty habits they had.

Three people were in the same room last night, and they knew how many shameful things they did.

"What are you looking at, Second Young Master?" Xie Jin looked at him unkindly, "Do you think you can look at my people?"

Zong Zhiyuan quickly came back to his senses and apologized again: "I am rude, I hope you will forgive me."

Why are you pretending? You are so protective even though you are tired of the old and love the new? Who are you jealous of?

Zong Zhiyuan was disdainful in his heart, but he still maintained a respectful and flattering smile on his face: "The prefect also sent a message early in the morning, saying that he will come to discuss disaster relief with Lord Xie later. If you are free, why not go with the prefect to see the progress of the tent construction. Lord Yu arranged for the people in the government office to work overnight last night, and most of the people already have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Hearing this, Xie Jin showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Lord Yu is still very efficient, and I am very satisfied with him."

Xuanyuan Chen silently added in his heart, the more satisfied he is, the faster he will die.

The group quickly went to the front hall, accompanied by the head of the clan himself - although he had a high reputation in Mianzhou, he was just a businessman after all, and he could not put on airs in front of the imperial envoy.

"Did you sleep well last night, sir?" the head of the Zong family asked in a warm and caring voice, "Did you feel uncomfortable with the hangover?"

"I didn't feel that uncomfortable." Xie Jin looked at Zong Yuchang with a smile, "Yuchang is caring and considerate, and his massage technique is really comfortable. I chatted with him for a while when I woke up last night. I didn't have a headache when I woke up in the morning, and I felt comfortable all over."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen glanced at Zong Yuchang coldly, which happened to be noticed by the head of the Zong family. His smile deepened and he said, "If you are satisfied with Yuchang, let him serve you, and it will be a token of my kindness."

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Xie Jin looked happy, but embarrassed, "Yuchang is the young master of the Zong family after all, how can I do such a thing?"

Xuanyuan Chen said coldly, "Your Excellency has not done enough?"
