"Ah Zi?" Li Ke said with surprise in his tone.

"Childe, it's only been three hours. Xiao hurriedly reminded and lamented in his heart.

Since his son-in-law found the nine girls, he has changed as if he was a person, and he wants his subordinates to remind him to worry about it at any time. In the past, although his son-in-law was young, he was smart and well-planned, and he really had no last resort. As a subordinate, as long as you carry out the orders given by Childe well, it is fine, and as an enemy of Childe, you will definitely be unlucky.

However, since his son-in-law found the nine girls, he has always put the nine girls first. As long as it involves the safety of the nine girls, he has arranged them properly, and he has no last resort. But in this way, his own safety is not so properly arranged, and even their subordinates obviously feel that their son-in-law is sometimes gambling: if he wins the bet, then he will live, and if he loses the bet, then....

Xiao Jiu suddenly found that as Childe's personal guard, everything used to be fine with just executing orders, but now he has to worry about Childe's safety all the time. Moreover, he also found that as long as the nine girls were involved, even if it was a sea of swords, his son-in-law would have to go there, and he had obviously become stupid. For example, he himself said that it would take at least five hours for Shuofang City to get here, and it was only three hours, and the nine girls arrived, which was obviously a problem. His son-in-law was about to jump out without thinking.

Xiao Jiu felt that he had to protect Childe's safety as a personal guard, so he immediately jumped in front of Childe to stop him, and then solemnly reminded him that it was only three hours.

Jiang Chengzi heard Xiao Jiu's serious reminder, laughed, and quipped: "Xiao Jiu, it's good, it's very clever." ”

"Don't dare to be, who is coming?" Although Xiao Jiu heard the voice of the nine girls outside the account, he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately drew his sword in his hand and protected him in front of his son.

"Under Yang's Azhi. Jiang Chengzi replied with a grin.

"Who are you coaxing? Xiao Jiu pouted.

Li Ke looked at Xiao Jiu who was blocking in front of him, and said helplessly: "Xiao Jiu, the one outside is the Nine Girls, it's like a fake." ”

"Childe, be careful, it's only been three hours. Xiao Jiu insisted on not letting Li Ke go out. At the same time, a long howl sounded. This long whistle warns the surrounding guards that Childe is in danger.

Jiang Chengzi had bypassed all the guards and quietly arrived in front of Li Ke's tent. When those guards heard the signal this time, they immediately gathered in front of Li Ke's tent as if they were facing a great enemy.

In the faint moonlight, I could only see a thin man standing in front of the tent, dressed in a night suit.

"Who's coming?" the people faced each other with their swords.

"Alas, Xiao Jiu, you are shocked, look at the good things you have done. Li Ke sighed.

"Childe, I'm afraid there is fraud. Xiao Jiu felt obliged to remind his son-in-law that maybe the person outside was sent by the enemy. Anyway, now the whole world knows that the ninth girl is the weakness of the childe.

"Xiao Jiu, it's the Nine girls outside, I know. Li Ke said patiently.

"Childe, you once said to your subordinates that the most powerful enemy can be confused with falsehood. Xiao Jiu said stubbornly.

"It's not true, I said it, right?" Li Ke asked rhetorically.

Jiang Chengzi, who was outside the house, turned around and smiled at the guards: "It's me." ”

"Huh, nine girls. "Someone was surprised.

"Who knows if it's true. Some time ago, someone took advantage of Childe's weakness and pretended to be the Nine Girls to assassinate Childe. One of the guards said coldly, the hand holding the knife tighter.

When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he was surprised, and then angry: those bad garbage actually dared to use themselves. She is not a generous person, and if she finds out, she will definitely make them regret using her.

"Someone pretended to be me to assassinate the King of Shu?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

The guards decided that there was a fraud this time, and they did not answer her, but they were like a great enemy.

Li Ke in the tent said to Xiao Jiu slowly: "The fake can't be true, it's to tell you that no matter how realistic the enemy is, there are some things that can't be imitated." For example, the footsteps of the nine girls, the lines of her voice, and her breath. These are things that others can't imitate. And I, even from a long distance, can tell if it's her. I can hear it all. For example, the person who pretended to be her last time to assassinate me was far away, and I knew it. And you don't recognize you, do you?"

"Yes. Xiao Jiu thought about it and reluctantly admitted it.

"Xiao Jiu, you stand down. Li Ke said gently.

Childe's voice was gentle, and Xiao Jiu almost fell. Childe has always been as cold as ice, since this envoy to the Turks, there is no good face and good tone, the nine girls came, and even the voice of the son became like a peach blossom in the sunshine of March in the south of the Yangtze River, it seems that there is no doubt that there is indeed a nine girls outside.

But how did Childe know that it must be the Ninth Girl?Voice, breath, footsteps...... , that's too mysterious, isn't it?

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but look back at his son-in-law with a puzzled expression.

Li Ke saw Xiao Jiu like this, and Jiang Chengzi came so soon, he was very happy in his heart, so he said patiently: "When you meet someone in the future, you will understand what I said today." ”

Childe, is this talking about marrying a daughter-in-law? Xiao Jiu's face turned red all of a sudden.

Jiang Chengzi didn't care about the people outside, and reached out to open the curtain. At this time, Xiao Jiu just got out of the way.

Under the candle fire, the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time looked at each other, looked at each other without saying a word, but did not make further movements, only looked at each other.

The guards behind him already knew that this was really the Nine Girls. And Xiao Jiu also came to his senses, and hurriedly flashed out and waved his hand at the guards, signaling them to go back to their respective posts.

The guards dispersed, Xiao Jiu stood with his back to the camp tent and looked at the moon in the sky, thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law, blushing and heartbeating, feeling that this night was really hot, and summer might really come.

Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke looked at each other for a moment, and both of them laughed. He smiled and opened his arms, Jiang Chengzi rushed over and hugged him without reserve, muttering: "It's not fair, you have grown taller again." ”

Li Ke laughed and said, "You have also grown taller." ”

"Not as fast as you. Jiang Chengzi said in a muffled voice.

Li Ke patted her on the back and said, "You haven't really grown tall yet, and after this year, you will start to grow taller." ”

"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi nodded.

After this year, she will be twelve years old, and it is time to begin her second development. Besides, in fact, Yang Shuyue and Yang Wang's are relatively tall, and Yang Minzhi's head is already outstanding among girls of the same age. It's just that Li Ke is also outstanding among his peers. Therefore, there is always a big gap in the height of the two.

"It's just that you've lost weight. Li Ke hugged her tighter.

She is thinner than before, probably in the Lost Mountains in order to hurry, and she can't eat or sleep well.

"Hehe, you've lost weight too. She let go of him and looked at him with a grin.

"I didn't. He shook his head in denial, reached out and pulled her to sit down, asking, "Tired, aren't you?"

"You know that my body is different from others, and I don't feel tired. But Li Nan and Jinyun were tired. This time I returned to Chang'an and gave them a few days off to rest. Jiang Chengzi also sat down on the side.

"It's all up to you. His eyes were gentle, and he only looked at the person in front of him. Even though he has met for a long time, he still has a feeling of sudden dream.

"Have things been handled properly?" Jiang Chengzi asked softly.

"That's been done. The Turks will be chaotic for a while, and their vitality will not be restored. He said confidently.

"Then you met the person you're looking for?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

This time, Li Ke went to the Turks, and there was another private matter: then at the request of Concubine Yang Shufei, he would look for the former Xiao Hou, that is, Li Ke's grandmother.

"Yes. However, she said that she was not done yet, and that she would pick her up at a later date. When Li Ke said of Empress Xiao, his eyebrows were serious and full of awe.

"Does she want to completely relieve the border trouble?" Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but sit upright.

She really wanted to see the strange woman who had been mentioned many times in history and legends, and she was very curious about what kind of woman she was, who was captured by the enemy country, and thought about the interests of the motherland, but in fact, the motherland that belonged to her was no longer there.

Li Ke nodded and said, "She said that it was my grandfather's lifelong wish, so that the people of the Central Plains would not be trampled on by Hulu and let the Quartet come to court." ”

Jiang Chengzi was suddenly silent, she thought that she might understand what Empress Xiao was doing. She may really love Yang Guang, so even if that person is gone, she is still trying to realize his ideals and strive to turn the blueprint he drew into reality.

"She's a great woman. Jiang Chengzi was silent for a long time and said slowly.

Li Ke grabbed her hand, looked at the candle flame, and said slowly: "I also said this to her." She just laughed, saying that she was just an ordinary woman, not for the sake of the world. All she did was a surviving person's ideals for the deceased. ”

And so it was!

Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips tightly, secretly thinking that if it was him, he was afraid that he would be like Empress Xiao. It seems that in history, there is really nothing false about the deep relationship between Empress Xiao and Yang Guang.

"Ah Zi, don't think about it. Everyone wants everyone's choice. My grandmother was very smart and saw the big picture, and I kept someone to protect her. Li Ke looked at her with a solemn face, so he comforted her in a low voice.

She smiled and asked if she had paved the way for her grandmother. Li Ke gently pinched her face and said, "My grandmother brought a letter to my father. ”

"That's good. Jiang Chengzi let out a breath.

The previous crisis has come to an end. It's just that I don't know what happened to my father who was far away in the capital, and whether Li Chengqian could handle it. Thinking of his father, Jiang Chengzi returned to his heart like an arrow, so he asked: "Since the border is calm, will we return tomorrow?"

"There's no hurry. Li Ke patted her hand, "You have been in the dust, you have been rushing in the mountains and mountains, and you must not have eaten well." Come, I'll prepare food for you. ”

Jiang Chengzi looked at the low table, the white rice was piled up in a white porcelain bowl, the grains were distinct, and they were as clear as jade. The bacon was red and white, neatly arranged, and there were slices of fresh fish on top of the verdant green onions, and a small plate filled with the best soy sauce.

"This soy sauce is the kind we made ourselves?" Jiang Chengzi smiled and picked up the chopsticks.

"Well, the six-room cook asked for it. Li Ke said proudly.

"You really think of yourself as your own home. Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips, full of joy.

Li Ke leaned lazily on the cushion and said proudly: "Of course, my daughter-in-law's house is my family." ”

Jiang Chengzi sneered, and he urged her to eat quickly, while he watched her eat from the side, only feeling that this was the happiest thing in heaven and earth. 10
