Chapter 174 It’s a matter of course
He stared blankly at Rong Heqing slowly approaching, her scent and breath brushing against his face, warm and alluring.
Seeing her lips so close, the moment they touched, he felt countless fireworks exploding in his mind, beautiful and dreamy, making him dizzy.
However, before he could feel it any longer, the softness on his lips left.
Qin Yunxian: “???”
Rong Heqing stood up straight and said with a smile: "Okay, now we are even."
"no!"
Qin Yunxian blurted out, Rong Heqing raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"It's not even." Qin Yunxian grabbed Rong Heqing's waist and pulled her back into his arms, letting her sit on his lap. He said softly, "I've reflected on it. My previous concealment was indeed excessive. One kiss is not enough. I'll pay you with a few more."
Rong Heqing smiled, "What if I say no?"
Qin Yunxian's eyes were gloomy. "It doesn't matter. I'll give it to you on my own initiative."
"Buying by force is not strong——"
Qin Yunxian pressed the back of her neck and kissed her actively.
Rong Heqing's laughter was completely swallowed up and gradually turned into ambiguous and fragmented sounds.
The sound of clothes rubbing against each other was infinitely amplified at this moment.
Rong Heqing felt like she was sitting on a stove. It was hot all over and she was about to sweat.
His hand gradually fell down weakly, but was caught by Qin Yunxian halfway and put back on his shoulder.
Amid the intermittent, heavy and rapid breathing, Rong Heqing's mind quickly flashed through all the scenes since they met and got to know each other.
From Shu Xian at the beginning, to Prince Duan later, and then to Po Jun wearing a mask.
His identity is changeable and seemingly unpredictable, but in fact he has never seriously concealed it in front of her. Perhaps he also hopes that she will recognize him one day?
They have been through so much together, from being wary of each other to trusting each other wholeheartedly, and then to fighting side by side.
In fact, only a year has passed.
In just one year, they have become an indispensable part of each other's lives.
The agreement signed before marriage has now become completely worthless.
Rong Heqing thought of the paper and couldn't help laughing again, but was bitten by Qin Yunxian.
"Hiss—" She came back to her senses and glared at him, "Are you born in the year of the dog?"
Qin Yunxian asked in a hoarse voice: "What are you thinking about?"
Rong Heqing couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm thinking that the agreement we had before might be invalidated."
"Really?" Qin Yunxian was stunned for a moment, then his brows lit up with joy, with lust still in his eyes. Upon hearing that, he picked up Rong Heqing and put him on the table.
Rong Heqing was startled and quickly put his arms around his neck, "What?"
Qin Yun smiled and leaned in to rub her lips gently, saying vaguely: "Happy."
There was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and Rong Heqing could see it even if he didn't say it.
She couldn't help but laugh.
"From now on, you'll be mine."
Qin Yunxian rested his forehead against hers and whispered, "It's always been yours."
Rong Heqing suddenly remembered something, pinched the back of his neck and asked, "You were the one asking me this just now, but I haven't asked you yet, what are your feelings for me? When did it change?"
This time Qin Yunxian did not answer immediately. He stared at Rong Heqing in silence for a long while before speaking, "Actually, I never told you that when I first saw you, I felt very familiar with you, as if I had met you before. Every time we met afterwards, my feelings for you became deeper. I don't remember when I fell in love with you."
"The first time I realized my feelings was the night your aunt almost found out."
Rong Heqing was startled, thinking of the mistakes they had made that night, and shook his head with a smile, "Then we are really destined to be together."
She confirmed Pojun's identity that day.
He made up his mind that day.
"You asked me how I feel about you." Qin Yunxian held Rong Heqing's hand and pressed it against his heart, looking at her with burning eyes, "Do you feel it?"
His heartbeat was so fast and powerful that it seemed to leave his body and crash into her palm.
After feeling it for a while, Rong Heqing felt his heartbeat also quicken and become the same frequency as his.
"It said, 'I am happy and peaceful, and I wish to be together till we grow old together, and never part from each other, even in life or death.'"
After saying this, the heart under his palm beat faster.
Rong Heqing felt a warm feeling in his heart, and there was a hint of moisture in his eyes.
"We'll tear up the agreement when we get back, and from now on, we'll be real husband and wife."
"Okay." Qin Yunxian lowered his head again.
This time, their kiss was gentle and slow, without any desire, more like comforting each other.
……
After a while of being together, the two had to return to their busy reality.
They beheaded the officials and governor of Licheng. It was a satisfying act, but troubles followed.
Licheng is so big, it will not work without someone in charge.
Qin Yunxian temporarily took over as the prefect and had people call all the officials, big and small, to come and investigate them one by one. Reward them according to their merits and punish them according to their crimes. Some were killed and some were demoted. There were only a few officials left in Licheng, and the entire government was almost destroyed.
We have to find a way to fill the vacant positions.
Rong Heqing helped write a memorial to explain the situation here clearly, and then asked the emperor to send people to fill the vacancies. Positions such as prefects and other local leaders cannot be neglected, as they cannot make the decision. However, they can select the remaining minor officials from nearby cities.
Orders were passed down one after another, and everyone was busy.
After the prefect has dealt with the matter, there is still the Licheng navy.
Matters involving military power have always been sensitive, so Qin Yunxian did not act rashly. He asked Wei Hanping to temporarily take over the post of governor to stabilize the military morale, and then he personally submitted a memorial to request credit for Wei Hanping.
At night, Qin Yunxian led soldiers to search the residences of the prefect and other high-ranking officials. They moved out the seized valuables in boxes, and it took half a day to move all the valuables out.
This shows how much of the people's money they have extorted over the years.
By the time everything was settled, it was three days later.
Early in the morning, Rong Heqing heard people talking in the corridor. She didn't move, but just closed her eyes and listened for a while.
It’s Guan Zhen’s voice.
"Master, our people have turned Yanzhi Island upside down, but we haven't found any clues related to Qin Yunxuan. However, we have found a lot of medicine and weapons that were not completely burned. What should we do with them?"
Qin Yunxian whispered, "Distribute the usable weapons to the soldiers, and destroy all the unusable ones. As for the medicine - send someone to escort it back to Yundu and let Mei Gu take a look. Keep the good medicine, and destroy all the poisons, so as to prevent them from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives and causing trouble."
"Yes, I will do it now!"
The footsteps gradually faded away. Rong Heqing turned over and sat up. The next moment, he heard Qin Yunxian knocking on the door.
"Enter."
Rong Heqing looked down at her undershirt, and seeing nothing wrong with it, she calmly sat on the bed and swung her feet.
So when Qin Yunxian entered the door, he saw two white and tender feet swaying leisurely.
