Chapter XI
The next morning, the morning light peeked into my eyes through the window. Yesterday I stayed late in the courtyard and came back to the house in the middle of the night. When I woke up, sleepiness haunted me and made it impossible for me to get rid of. When I got up and opened the window, the wind with refreshment and coldness swept through my senses, making my consciousness slightly clearer.
Originally, I was not going to leave in the morning, after all, I have always felt that lying in bed is the most fundamental right of man. However, there is always a risk associated with traveling at night, and the only way to get to Kyoto before dark is to leave in the morning.
There was already a lot of commotion outside the door, and I knew it was Haixun who was carrying their luggage. I walked over to the sink and washed up. After a while, someone called out to me outside the door.
"Boss, are you up?" came Chen Yu's voice from outside the door.
"Chen Yu, why are you here? "Shouldn't it be Jin Yu who came to wake me up?
I pushed the door open and watched as Chen Yu poked into a cheek that was red by the autumn wind.
"Good morning, Boss. "She had a suit in her hand, and when I looked at it, I knew it was the one I had made for the tailor to wear at the wedding party.
"Boss, your clothes have arrived, but this dress is very curious. Chen Yu said.
"That's right. "I took my clothes and checked them briefly.
"Boss, you can wear it. Chen Yu's little eyes turned again, I knew that she was making up her mind again, and quickly dispelled her thoughts.
"What time is it, let's go. I grabbed her arm and led her out of the room. This little girl is ghostly, if she follows her thinking, she can't tell what will happen.
Outside the courtyard, everyone had gathered. A dark blue painted bus stopped in front of the door, scratching the grass and trees on the ground twice. I didn't care about feeling sorry for the grass and trees, so I said hello to the people around me and prepared to get in the car. At this time, Zhang Mubai ran to me.
"Boss, why are you here?" said Zhang Mubai.
"Where's Jin Yu?" I thought to myself, why didn't Jin Yu come to me.
"Jin Yu and Haixun went to buy lotus cakes, and they will come over later. Zhang Mubai's tone was casual, but I heard a little envy in it.
"You are a rich second generation, you should have been in a lot of love. I couldn't help but ask.
"No, the girl I like has been abroad, and I want to marry her in the future. As soon as Zhang Mubai's words came out, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Zhang Mubai, don't you know if you like another girl?" Chen Yu said.
"I can only like her, it's a family contract. Zhang Mubai's tone was firm.
"Then does she like you?" Chen Yu then asked. I stood aside, silently praising this girl's gossip psychology.
"That's her business. After Zhang Mubai finished speaking, he felt inappropriate, so he picked up the box on the side and moved it, obviously wanting to hide his weakness with busyness.
I didn't like Zhang Mubai's words, that woman didn't like Zhang Mubai, and Zhang Mubai stupidly asked herself to like him like a jade.
"Do you like that girl because of family matters?" I said.
Zhang Mubai didn't reply to me, so I continued:
"Lao Bai, you should make your own decisions in your own life. "I'm not a big dealer, and I rarely try to persuade people to change their decisions. But at the moment I still showed my attitude.
"But ......"
"Wow, boss, look. Chen Yu interrupted Zhang Mubai and made Zhang Mubai stiffly hold back what he wanted to say. No, Chen Yu, he's ready to say what's in his heart, why don't you respect my gossip psychology, why interrupt him.
But I knew right away why Chen Yu suddenly exclaimed. Because Lan Muxi sat at the end of the bus at some point, holding the jet-black stick in his hand and closing his eyes. It still surprised me to see this guy sitting in the car just about to leave.
"Envoy, I don't know why you're here?" I didn't guess Lan Muxi's intention, and I vaguely felt that something was happening.
Lan Muxi listened to my voice and opened his eyes:
"The family sent me to protect your safety. "Protecting my safety, or is it the family's request? This family has made things difficult for me before, and now they want to protect me. As soon as I was confused, he told me why.
"The affairs of the Baiyun Clan have had a great impact, and the imperial court also knows that you are persecuted, and I am the closest envoy to you, so I was sent to protect you. Lan Muxi was quiet after speaking, there was no extra movement on his body, and a pair of black and bright pupils stared at me.
"Then it's time to ask the overseer. "I guess in my heart that the court is meddling. And this Lan Muxi is strong in martial arts, skilled in medicine, and the focus is on being upright, and he is completely a companion who can be assured.
A little smile appeared at the corner of Lan Muxi's mouth. To be honest, although he has no expression on his face most of the time, he always responds to the world with an indifferent look. But after all this time, I have also seen his anger, doubt, and sadness, but I have never seen him laugh. Could it be because of Princess Yizi?
I pondered silently, and Chen Yu beside me brought some words into my ears:
"Boss, I found something wrong. ”
"What's wrong?" I thought I had a good grasp of the details, could it be that Chen Yu had discovered something I wasn't aware of. Could it be that this questioning made Lan Muxi conceal it. But Chen Yu's next words made me hold my forehead and ponder:
"This Lan Muxi, why is he even more handsome than when he first came?"
"Do you know what the burning stick in Lan Muxi's hand is?" I ignored Chen Yu and patted Zhang Mubai beside me. Zhang Mubai listened to my question and shook his head. I looked at Lan Muxi's expression, and I didn't want to ask him, so I found a place and sat down. And I have a plan in my heart, since this Mulan Xi is also going with me, it seems that I can find an opportunity to ask Wei Lengluo about it.
Soon, Haixun and Jin Yu came back one after the other.
"Childe, Jin Yu and I heard that there is a lotus cake in the morning market, so we bought some and came over, and Childe can try it too. Haixun and Jinyu both had bags of pastries in their hands.
I silently took a few pieces of lotus cake from Haixun's hand and chewed the taste of other people's love one by one. After a while, the pastries in Haixun's hands were divided by the people in the car.
Jin Yu walked quickly to Lan Muxi's side and handed over a box of lotus cakes. Lan Muxi only opened his eyes and looked at them, then shook his head, and then continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
Today's weather has changed, and the autumn wind is already very cold at this time. I put on several layers of clothing to barely resist the cold. And Lan Muxi was still wearing the thin civilian clothes of the inspector. When the autumn wind squeezed in through the car window, Lan Muxi's body also trembled slightly, but he still straightened up and didn't say a word in the cold wind.
"Jin Yu, you go and hand over one of my clothes to the envoy. I said to Jin Yu.
"Yes, Childe. Jin Yu said.
When Lan Muxi took my clothes from Jin Yu's hand, he was first surprised, then looked at me and bowed slightly to express his gratitude. I'm also convinced, this guy won't say anything when he's cold, he will carry everything by himself, and he won't have a complaint. I don't know how to describe him.
At this point, everyone got into the bus. I looked out the window and at the yellowish autumn scene.
The sound of the car starting slowly sounded. Once, when I left my city to go to SH, it was also autumn, but the autumn day in this plane was even colder.
I wrapped my clothes tightly and said to Chen Yu beside me:
"Xiaoyu, can you do me a favor?"
"What's the hurry?" Chen Yu leaned his head over.
"I'll help me with Lan Muxi's words later. I smiled.
"Beauty, boss, you're so bad. ”
