Chapter 171: Espionage

Hearing this, Xia Xue'er was suddenly startled, and turned her head to look at Mu Xuanlong, who was already standing one meter away from her, with a surprised expression. Fang Cai was too relaxed to pay attention to other movements in the orchid garden, when there was one more person beside her, she didn't even know!

A cold sweat broke out on his back, if it wasn't Mu Xuanlong standing beside him at this time, but a murderous maniac, wouldn't he not know how he lost his life?!

It's not that she has persecution delusions, it's that this world is really crazy, and it can't be explained clearly by reason at all! Being hated for no reason is already the norm in her life.

Mu Xuanlong saw that her two handsome eyebrows were tangled together, and with a defensive look, he couldn't help but take a step back before he opened his mouth and asked, "Can I sit down?" In the ...... away from you Closer? ”

The tone was full of caution.

Hearing this, Xia Xue'er came back from the fantasy of dying in a murderous demon, and wanted to stand up and salute with both hands on the tube tile, but she was stopped by Mu Xuanlong, who was quick-eyed, as soon as she moved.

"It's just me here, so you don't have to stick to those vain courtesies, this roof is not easy to stand on, don't fall!"

Xia Xue'er saw that he stretched out a hand to stop her in a hurry, so she didn't insist on standing up and saluting, sitting here curled up for too long, and her legs and feet were a little numb.

After another moment, she half-tilted her head to look at Mu Xuanlong and said, "Sit down, it's weird to be tired when you stand." The key is that it also blocked her from basking in the moonlight......

A flash of joy flashed in Mu Xuanlong's eyes, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. Reaching out and picking up the robe, he chose a position where Xia Xue'er was closer, but not so disgusted as to arouse her disgust, but it was a little restrained, which was not quite in line with his usual coldness and pride.

Neither of them spoke, Xia Xue'er just continued to look up and count the stars as if nothing happened, but Mu Xuanlong was apprehensive in his heart, for some reason, sitting next to her, he felt nervous, was it because she was too smart and he was afraid of her? But why are there still ** who want to get closer? ……

"Thank you."

Mu Xuanlong was stunned. Xia Xue'er, who had been counting the stars with her head tilted her head intently, suddenly lowered her head, looked directly at herself, and said thank you sincerely, his head was a little confused, and he stammered a little when he spoke.

"Why?" He couldn't think of anything he deserved to say thank you.

"Thank you for rescuing Uncle Rong." Xia Xueer further explained.

After speaking, he couldn't help but raise his lips and smile, he used to look at Mu Xuanlong, either he was a billet or a strict one, giving people the feeling that he was either a hooligan or a cold-blooded monster, just seeing him wished he could be eight hundred meters away from him, but I didn't expect him to look so cute!

"Oh, this", Mu Xuanlong suddenly realized, slightly embarrassed by Fang Cai's ignorance, he couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head, and asked, "Is he okay?" ”

Originally, seeing him stretch out his hand and scratch his head, Xia Xue'er smiled even more happily, in order not to let the other party find out, she also deliberately raised her hand to block the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but when she heard Mu Xuanlong ask Uncle Rong if he was okay, she couldn't help frowning, is this still the unpopular and selfish Mu Xuanlong she knows? How could he ...... Caring about others?

Mu Xuanlong himself was also taken aback, he didn't know what he was talking about, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, was the person who asked that sentence still himself?

He doesn't like to care, care is the handle, it is a weapon for the enemy, it is enough to destroy a person! Since the death of his eldest brother fifteen years ago, he has decided that he will only be alone in this life, and he will not have feelings for anyone.

It was Xia Xue'er's eyes that woke him up, I don't know when, his person has changed, his feelings seem to have become richer, and these are changes he doesn't need! If he wants not to be betrayed, in order not to follow the path of his big brother again, he must change back, to the person who once frightened the enemy and could not find a single flaw and handle!

"I sent him back to his hometown, he was not in good health, and he stayed in prison for a long time, so he went to the ghost gate for a while, and he would recover faster if he had relatives around to take care of him."

Xia Xue'er explained, her words were much softer than before, but Mu Xuanlong obviously didn't notice such a change, he seemed to have remembered the purpose of his coming here, nodded as if agreeing with Xia Xue'er's decision, and then asked, "When is Dengxian Tower going to reopen?" ”

Xia Xue'er lowered her head, she didn't see the indifference in Mu Xuanlong's eyes, she just sighed secretly in her heart, Dengxian Tower, which was targeted by the emperor, wanted to reopen, where is it easy? It is extremely difficult to determine the candidate for this shopkeeper, not only to be an absolute heartfelt and rigorous person, but also to be a person who has a thorough understanding of the situation in the city and can freely respond to various emergencies, after all, he carries the name of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion on his back, if the emperor comes to a surprise attack on a whim, and then shows any horses' feet, she is not the only one who dies! The crime of bullying the king, that is the punishment of the nine clans!

Thinking back to Mu Xuanlong's last time when he went south to suppress bandits, he didn't inquire about Dengxian Tower, and he never completely believed her in his heart, so he just asked, I don't know if it was really a casual question or what the purpose was! Xia Xue'er was shocked, she almost revealed her flaws!

I saw that she deliberately sighed heavily, and said with a distressed face: "Opening is a must, after all, it is about to enter winter, I am still waiting for the silver to open a porridge shed and buy warm clothes, which is a lot of expenses!" But before that, you must go to Jiangnan first, after all, this accident used the name of your grandfather, and you should confess your guilt and ask for permission by the way. ”

Mu Xuanlong has been observing Xia Xue'er's expression since he asked this sentence, hoping to catch a little clue, but he found nothing, he thought that he was asking this inadvertently, it stands to reason that he shouldn't arouse her defense! It's just that what she said is not unreasonable, as we all know, Xia Xue'er will build a porridge shed every winter, not only giving porridge, but also sending cold and warm clothes to poor people. This is said in such a way that no one can refute it!

"By the way, I heard that the emperor is going to give the eighth prince a marriage?" A seemingly inadvertent sentence shocked Mu Xuanlong's body, and Xia Xue'er was really puzzled when she saw him react like this, "What?" You don't know? ”
