Chapter 59: Rivalry

Duanyue dragged her steps, and she was very reluctant to turn around and walk to the gate of the Li Mansion, just in front of Xu Xiachu's eyes who were resting on the carriage, she lowered her head and was sullen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Xinghui nodded at Xu Xiachu, he glanced sideways at Duanyue, and sighed lightly. "Let's go back." He avoided Xu Xiachu's eyes, and inexplicably felt that he had a little feeling of weakness. But think about it, I ran away from home with Duanyue, I'm afraid that I will be angry with Ning Hou.

Xu Xiachu stood up straight and forcibly suppressed his anger. He looked at Duanyue and scratched his forehead helplessly, as soon as Duanyue ran away from home, he didn't expect that he was the one who suffered in the end. Thousands of miles came over to pick up Duanyue, not to mention, and the face of the wind, the low pressure frightened Xu Xiachu didn't even dare to refute, so he had to nod and run out of the door.

"Enough fun, it's time to go back."

But Duanyue turned her head away, making a child's temperament. "Why are you here to pick me up? If it's not my brother, I'm not going back. ”

"My little ancestor, how can Master Hou have time to pick you up in person, aren't you busy going to the Wei She people to help you clean up the mess! Tell me what you are doing, if you have to cut Miss Wei's head, how can you explain it to the emperor and the queen mother? He glared at Duanyue resentfully, and continued to complain. Tell me about you, you dare to run away from home, what do you think? ”

"Brother, he ......" Duanyue swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart. Brother, is he angry with me? ”

Isn't this nonsense? Xu Xiachu couldn't help complaining about Duanyuelai, but when it came to her mouth, she had to swallow it in her stomach. "Hou Ye didn't say anything, he just broke the jade screen in the house, the kind that can blow foam when the wind blows."

Duanyue was frightened and hurriedly shrunk her neck, as if it was not the screen that was broken but herself. Yan Xinghui saw the horror in Duanyue's eyes, and touched the tenderness in his heart. He softened his voice and comforted Duanyue Dao softly. "It's okay, Master Hou can send someone to pick you up to show that he still cares about you." Yan Xing leaned back into Duanyue's ear and whispered to dissuade him. "Master Hou has given you the steps down, don't hurry up and go down the slope, don't be bad at the end."

Duanyue pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment. Reluctantly, she twisted her body and shuffled down the steps to the side of the carriage. "I don't want to go back......" Duanyue muttered to herself.

When Xu Xia heard her muttering, she ignored it indifferently, lifted the curtain on the carriage, gestured to Duanyue with her eyes, and drove her into the car. Xu Xiachu raised her chin at Yan Xing, and said in a tone that was neither arrogant nor humble. "Yan Sangongzi go back together, if you don't see you this day, you can make it easy for Mrs. Yan to find it."

"Thank you for the kindness of Guard Xu, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." He raised his head and looked directly at Xu Xiachu's brown and black eyes, walked straight to the side of an idle horse, held the reins, and stepped on the horse's back in a chic manner like a peer, just like a dignified ranger.

Xu Xiachu didn't glance at him, but just stood in front of Duanyue's tightly closed curtain and told him again and again. "You have to remember not to lose your temper in front of the Hou Ye when you go back, even if you are dissatisfied, wait until this matter is over." He shook his head. "Master Hou is full of trivial matters now, you must not stir up any more trouble."

"I know......" Duanyue leaned in the carriage, very dissatisfied with the grievances in her heart. But there is no way, everything has an ending, and no one can get off the stage if it goes on endlessly. So Duanyue had to pretend to be well-behaved and agreed.

The carriage drove slowly, and Duanyue was drowsy from the bumps. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, poked her head out of the carriage and yawned at Xu Xiachu. "Xu Xiachu, there is something I want you to help me do."

"You say that makes me feel a little uncertain, let's talk about something."

Duanyue rubbed her eyes again, and she shook her head. "There's a gang of robbers in Hexi Town, send someone to destroy me!" Duanyue gritted her teeth when she thought of that group of people, clutching the empty money bag, and was angry. In this life, I only have to bully others, who would have thought that I would be bullied by others like this.

"I'm not in charge of the robbers." Xu Xiachu's eyes were half squinted, and without thinking about it, she immediately rejected Duanyue's request. "I'm also a person with a head and a face, and the robbers still have to be taken care of by the yamen, and don't rely on me to do everything."

"To go or not!" Duanyue was suddenly awakened by Xu Xiachu's words, and glared at Xu Xiachu angrily, as if she had been a little wild cat.

"Don't go!" Xu Xiachu didn't show weakness either, and glared back.

Duanyue was beaten by his strong counterattack and suddenly withered, and looked at Xu Xiachu on the window edge with her head down, her eyes wet and very aggrieved. "I was almost robbed by them, and if I hadn't given them all my money, I don't know if you would have been able to get me."

"I see." The corners of Xu Xiachu's mouth lifted. "I've been chasing after you, and if you go with your front foot, I'll catch that group of people with your back foot and hand them over to the yamen."

"Huh?! You've been following me! Duanyue sat up straight and looked at him. She touched her nose and didn't feel someone chasing after her?

The night slowly darkened, and in the quiet countryside suburbs, I saw this carriage, and two horses were moving quickly. The bumpy carriage shook Duanyue and trembled. She tilted her head and looked at Xu Xiachu with a puzzled face, staring at him all the time, making Xu Xiachu turn her head in embarrassment, skillfully avoiding Duanyue's scorching gaze.

"Have you been following me?" Duanyue looked at Xu Xiachu with a smile and asked softly again.

Xu Xia couldn't avoid this question when he first saw it, so he dodged his eyes and explained hesitantly. "As the county lord, and the Hou Ye asked me to protect you, isn't it normal to follow you all the way? Besides, later Master Hou also asked me to pick you up......" The roots of his ears reddened slightly.

Duanyue nodded with an "oh", and she cupped her cheeks. Yan Xing pulled the reins back, and the black horse under the seat shook his head and walked towards Duanyue. Yan Xinghui nodded politely at Xu Xiachu.

"Guard Xu doesn't know if he can get to Chang'an tonight, if not, it's better to find a nearby post station to rest. There is no hurry at this time. ”

Xu Xiachu glanced at it, and the contempt in the depths of her eyes was difficult to detect, but it still made Duanyue feel that the atmosphere was delicate. He straightened his head and looked straight at the dark path in front of him.

"In half an hour, we will be in Chang'an." He turned his head to look at Yan Xinghui with a smile, and there was a hairbreak behind his back. Still thinking about what Xu Xiachu was looking at, he opened his mouth again and continued. "Yan Sangongzi, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Oh? Xu Guards can say. ”

Xu Xiachu smiled, and her face suddenly darkened. "My official position is the right general."

Yan Xinghui sighed in his heart, and then recalled that he had been calling Xu Xiachu "Xu Guard", no wonder he always ignored his love, it turned out that he had been offending him! Yan Xinghui suddenly realized, his face suddenly turned blue, and he hurriedly apologized to Xu Xiachu.

"General Xu atoned for his sins! I'm stupid to be quick talked. ”

Xu Xia opened her mouth at the beginning but was covered by Duanyue's "hahaha" laughter, she looked at the embarrassed appearance of the two of them and laughed heartily, instantly breaking this delicate atmosphere.
