Chapter 1268

That was why she came to Gao Changwen's small courtyard early in the morning.

"Ling'er, what were you just about to confess? Did Second Brother interrupt you?"

Gao Changwen suddenly lowered his head and asked Gao Ling.

Gao Ling shook her head hurriedly, "Second Brother, it's nothing... it's nothing."

"I still have lessons, so I'll go study them first."

After speaking, Gao Ling turned and ran.

Gao Changwen turned back, staring at Gao Ling's departing back, and sighed.

"On a day off, she doesn't forget to study; she is well-behaved!"

"At such an age, she isn't greedy for play; she is diligent and eager to learn!"

"When she does something wrong, she wants to confess; she is honest."

"She drugged a large rooster but feels guilty; she is so kind-hearted!"

"Ling'er is truly a good child who is well-behaved, diligent, eager to learn, honest, and kind!"

Gao Changwen stood with his hands behind his back, sighing.

But with so much chicken excrement in the courtyard, he certainly couldn't stay, so he gave an order to the servants.

Then, he strolled around the Duke of Ding Prefecture.

It was also at this time.

Three figures stepped into the main gate of the Duke of Ding Prefecture, their steps unsteady, but their anger soaring to the heavens.

Qiluo was dressed in a unique outfit, which made her delicate features look exceptionally beautiful.

She had risen early and was also strolling around.

Coincidentally, she ran into Gao Changwen.

The latter had a very thick skin, so he accompanied her, and from time to time, he would find topics to discuss.

"Miss Qiluo, do you have megalophobia?"

Gao Changwen asked suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Qiluo's mind flashed with the towering mountains she had seen since entering Da Qian from the Western Regions.

Her beautiful eyes brightened, and she said to Gao Changwen,

"Every time Qiluo sees mountains that tower into the clouds, especially when at the foot of the mountain, looking up, I always feel an inexplicable fear. That sense of insignificance and awe is simply indescribable."

"Second Young Master, is this what is called megalophobia? Does Second Young Master have it too?"

Gao Changwen looked solemn.

He nodded and said, "That's right."

"And this young master lives in this fear of giant objects every day!"

Qiluo was full of curiosity, "But what steep peaks are there in Changan? How could they make Second Young Master feel fear every day?"

Gao Changwen took some toilet paper and said to Qiluo, "Every day when this young master urinates, whenever I look down, my heart is filled with horror and extreme fear!"

"That feeling is even more terrifying than when Miss Qiluo faces high mountains!"

Qiluo: "..."

But there was no help for it; when one is under someone else's roof, one has to bow one's head. She could only offer an awkward but polite smile.

"Miss Qiluo, this young master is going to the latrine and has to face this fear again, so I won't accompany you on your stroll."

As he spoke, he walked leisurely toward the latrine not far away.

Qiluo: "..."

Gao Changwen had just entered the latrine.

Gao Tianlong, Gao Feng, and Gao Linyuan arrived.

"Qiluo, the servants said Changwen came in this direction. Have you seen the Second Young Master?"

Gao Linyuan asked.

For some reason, Qiluo felt a terrifying murderous intent from the few of them.

She hurriedly pointed toward the latrine not far away.

"Second Young Master went there!"

The few of them stared at the latrine and headed straight for it.

Inside the latrine.

"Terrifying!"

"Too terrifying!"

"This sense of fear is simply too strong. I don't know which beautiful woman with a good figure and pretty face will benefit in the future."

Gao Changwen's self-muttering voice rang out.

"Since I'm here, I might as well squat for a bit!"

As he spoke, Gao Changwen took off his pants again and began to brew the feeling.

But suddenly.

Gao Changwen sensed something was wrong.

Today's weather was clearly quite good, sunny and bright; even when squatting, it felt like being enveloped in golden sunlight.

But now it was as if the sky had suddenly darkened!

Da Qian's latrines are generally divided into two types: one for people of high status, which has excellent privacy, is enclosed on all four sides, and the top is sealed tightly.

One is for ordinary servants; to save costs, three sides are low walls about chest-high, and the very front is a wooden door that is also chest-high.

As for the roof, there was none at all, and the space was extremely small, only allowing one person to squat, with little room to move left or right.

Gao Changwen was not a fastidious person, so he entered the latrine used by the servants of the Duke of Ding Prefecture.

In broad daylight.

But Gao Changwen felt as if his whole body was enveloped in darkness.

No!

This... seems to be a shadow.

Gao Changwen raised his head and looked slowly upward.

He saw three figures, like three towering and immovable mountain peaks, each on one side, standing respectively on the low walls on the left and right, and in front of the wooden door at the very front.

The few of them were full of majesty, like angry-eyed Buddhas, awe-inspiring without anger, looking down at him from above.

It was precisely because of their tall bodies that they blocked the sunlight, shrouding him in a shadow.

At this moment, Gao Changwen admitted that his megalophobia had flared up...

PS: (This part of the plot is about done, and it is about to enter the major plotline of the three kingdoms uniting to use the Xiongnu to control Da Qian, which can be considered a major game of chess for the whole book. For the sake of plot rationality, there will be a simple transition in time, because whether it is fighting the Xiongnu or the vicious plot against the Zhao Kingdom, they all need to erupt in spring and summer. Thank you all for your support along the way. In some places, perhaps because the author is too unskilled, there are some forced comedic moments that were a bit awkward. For any shortcomings, I ask for your forgiveness.)
