This Person Is A Hidden Treasure Chapter 6

Roman said depressedly: "Why do I feel that you only give me hope and then pour cold water on me?"

Ah Liu chuckled.

Marquis Xue Yi said calmly in the carriage: "Roman, do you really hate riding in the same carriage with me so much?"

Roman asked: "If I answer yes...will it be considered as angering the Marquis?"

"Okay." Marquis Xue Yi answered without hesitation.

Roman sighed silently and said, "It is my great fortune to be able to ride in the same carriage with the Marquis."

"Why don't you get in the car? You should get enough fresh air."

Roman had no choice but to climb into the carriage.

In fact, sitting in this carriage is definitely more comfortable than riding a horse. It is warm, spacious, and not bumpy or shaking. There is thick fur under the butt0cks, soft pillows behind the back, and endless snacks at hand - if the marquis gives them. But these advantages combined cannot make up for the one disadvantage of the Snow Robe Marquis.

Roman leaned against the outermost corner of the carriage.

Xue Yi Hou held a book in his hand and asked casually, "Have you been taking a bath every day recently?"

"Thanks to your words, Lord Marquis, I dare not not take a bath every day." Roman hugged his knees with one hand and supported his chin with the other hand, saying lazily.

"Then the old dirt should be washed away, right?"

Roman opened his eyes, rolled his eyes and said, "Some dirt is deeply rooted and cannot be washed away in a short time."

"Oh?" Xue Yi Hou said calmly, "I'll ask Ah Liu to help you with the brush later."

...

Could it be the brush that he saw Ah Liu using to brush the horse by the river last time?

Roman weighed the pros and cons and said with a smile, "Although it may not be cleaned in a moment, it can definitely be cleaned in an hour."

"That's good." Snowy Marquis's slender fingers gently slid across the pages of the book, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy outside the carriage. After you take a shower for an hour tonight, you can sleep in the carriage with me."

...

Sleeping together in the carriage?

Roman knew without a mirror that his expression must be very stupid at the moment, "Thank you for your concern, Lord, but I am used to the fragrance of plants and trees outside..."

"Don't want to?" Marquis Xue Yi interrupted him calmly.

"My Lord, you are so considerate... Of course I am willing to die." This time it was really deadly. Roman secretly reflected on whether he had gone too far before. If he had known earlier... he should have been more reserved.

At night, Roman took nearly two hours to take a shower. When he returned to the carriage, his skin was almost wrinkled like a fan.

The roof of the carriage was inlaid with eighteen luminous pearls of similar size, so even though it was pitch black outside, the inside of the carriage was still clearly visible.

Marquis Xue Yi was leaning against the pillow, playing with a ring in his hand, and he didn't even bat an eyelid when he heard him come in.

"My lord, where should I sleep?" Roman deliberately wet his hair, and water droplets dripped from the ends of his hair onto his fur.

Snow-robed Marquis finally raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently, "The head is outside, and the body is sleeping inside."

...

Roman once again realized what it meant to suffer the consequences of one's own actions.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I'll go dry my hair first."

Marquis Xue Yi did not comment.

Roman went out and found a piece of cloth and wiped it inside and out dozens of times. Only after he was sure that it would not drip water anymore did he enter the carriage.

The night-shining pearl had been blocked by a movable plate, and the inside of the carriage was as dark as outside.

Roman had just stepped in and turned around, ready to run away, when he heard Xue Yi Hou's indifferent voice coming from the darkest depths of the carriage, "Come in."

Roman found that he had the urge to sigh more and more recently.

He sat down slowly on the fur.

"close the door."

...

Roman laughed dryly and said, "Open the door for some ventilation."

The answer to his question was silence, but he clearly felt a silent pressure. He closed the door silently and waited for the next instruction, but after waiting for a long time, he only heard the sound of slow breathing.

Calculating the time, it's almost time.

Roman didn't dare to have any more random thoughts, and hurriedly focused on his Yuan and Oneness, quietly practicing Qi in his Dantian.

Time passed slowly in silence, but the pain in my stomach became more and more obvious.

Roman used his inner strength to suppress the three silver needles that were running around in his dantian.

An hour is neither long nor short, but to endure such torture every night is undoubtedly a despairing and suffocating torture.

Roman heard some noise in the carriage, but dared not move until an hour later. He slowly exhaled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Is this why you lied and said you only took three baths a year?" There was a sense of pleasure in Xue Yi Hou's voice, like a cat catching a mouse.

Roman leaned his head against the wall of the car, "It is common to have abdominal pain every month. Why does the Marquis think so deeply about it?"

"Do you have abdominal pain every month?" Xue Yi Hou asked, "Why?"

Roman smiled and said, "I'm afraid the old Marquis's wife will have to explain this to the Marquis."

"How dare you!" The Snowy Marquis, who had been riding on Roman's neck for several days, finally got angry again, "Roman, my tolerance for you is limited."

Roman was silent for a moment and said, "Then what does the Marquis want to hear me say?"

"Truthfully." Snowy Marquis said, "Ah Liu told me that you take a bath very carefully every day. How can someone who doesn't take a bath for many years and hates taking a bath take a bath so carefully every day?"

Roman smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm a serious person."

"I rejected this reason long ago."

Roman touched his nose.

"If a clean person pretends not to take a bath, there are three reasons." Marquis Xueyi said, "First, you are afraid that I will take advantage of you while you are bathing to harm you. Second, you have something shameful on you. But you saw that I had already bathed under the noses of the maids in the mansion, so these two reasons are not true."

Roman said nothing.

"Then there is only the third option left." Marquis Xue Yi's voice suddenly became deep, "You don't want others to get close to you."

Roman said: "The Marquis is indeed very observant."

Snowy Marquis said, "I just hate being kept in the dark."

"How could the Marquis be so wise and brave, and be kept in the dark?"

"Don't you think you've used the words wise, wise and brave several times?"

"You can never have too much sincere compliments." Roman said piously.

Snowy Marquis said, "If your explanation is not sincere, then no matter how sincere the compliment is, it will be useless."

Roman sighed softly.

Marquis Xue Yi did not urge him.

"Actually, I was hit by the midnight three corpse needles."

Marquis Xue Yi seemed to have expected this and did not show any surprise. "The Blood Slaughter Hall's Midnight Three Corpse Needles?"

"The Marquis is indeed very knowledgeable."

"The Blood Slaughter Hall is the largest assassin organization in the past decade. In addition to being good at killing people, they also have two terrifying hidden weapons, the Midnight Three Corpse Needles and the Frost Soul Pill. However, with the Blue Flame League in power in recent years, they have become more cautious and secretive, and rarely appear in the martial arts world. I didn't expect you to mess with them."

Roman said: "I didn't provoke them, I provoked Ming Zun."

Upon hearing the word "Ming Zun", Marquis Xue Yi finally showed a hint of surprise.

But in the darkness, Roman didn't notice.

"In fact, I had wanted to leave the Demon Sect and join the imperial court several years ago." Roman said with emotion.

"oh?"

"But I know too many secrets of the Demon Cult. How could Ming Zun allow me to escape his control?"

Snowy Marquis asked, "So?"

"At first, he used both soft and hard tactics to force me to submit. Later, when he saw that I was determined to leave, he pretended to agree, but on the other hand, he contacted the people of the Blood Slaughter Hall to kill me." Roman's voice was extremely calm, but on such a night, such a story, without any emotion, gave people a sense of pain and vicissitudes. "I was not even ten miles away from the Demon Sect when I was killed. Later, Ming Zun came to rescue me hypocritically, and promised that as long as I did not leave the Demon Sect, he would provide me with enough silver for life to buy medicine to relieve the three corpse needles."

"Is this the reason why you betrayed the Demon Cult?" If so, it can indeed explain why he did not surrender to the imperial court before, and had to betray the Demon Cult in such an extreme way.

"My Lord, do you think I shouldn't betray you?" Roman asked back.

The silence lasted for a long time in the darkness.

Roman rubbed his knees gently.

"The pain when the Three Corpse Needles strike at midnight is unbearable for ordinary people. Don't you regret it?" The voice of Marquis Xueyi sounded faintly.
