Lifting her feet and stepping into the east room, she was smoked by the warm heat in the room, Qin Nanxi felt tired from not closing her eyes all night, and she had no strength in her body, so she could only let A Luo support her and lead her all the way to the inner room.

Liu Qi, who was behind the bookcase, heard the sound of footsteps and raised his head. Seeing that it was Qin Nanxi coming in, the corners of his thin and pale lips were slightly hooked, revealing a shallow smile. He was clearly laughing, but in the face of the pale mask, she still found his smile strange and sinister.

The body trembled slightly without obeying the call, Qin Nanxi knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly bowed down, and lowered his gaze to avoid his terrifying face.

A Luo on the side coughed dryly, and the fingers supporting Qin Nanxi obviously increased some strength, and he stiffly explained: "Mr. is still worried that the girl has been bumpy and tired for a few days, but I am afraid that she will not be able to get up early today." How did I know that the girl got up earlier than our husband? When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw the girl and the general admiring the snow! ”

"Snow viewing?" Liu Qi seemed very surprised when he heard this, and his body, which was already half-up, quietly sat back again. He didn't wait for her to answer, so he said coldly: "Your injuries need to be recuperated, and you need to rest more." ”

Qin Nanxi nodded timidly, and quietly sat down with Ah Luo's traction.

Liu Qi didn't speak anymore, and in the warm east room, there was only a wonderful silence left.

Qin Nanxi lowered his eyes, staring at the tips of his boots, waiting for his inquiry. In his ears, there was only the friction between Luo's fine footsteps and the ground. Ah Luo was busy before and after, adding incense for a while, and pouring tea for a while.

After a while, Liu Qi said slowly to A Luo, who was pouring tea beside Qin Nanxi: "You go down and take a look, the new cook doesn't know the details after all." You have to keep an eye on the diet of the general and Miss Su. ”

The teapot in Ah Luo's hand trembled faintly, then raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Nanxi, and replied with a low "yes" and retreated.

Seeing Ah Luo go out, Liu Qi on the opposite side suddenly broke the silence and asked straight to the point: "I don't know who this Liu Xu is?" ”

Qin Nan was stunned, she thought that Liu Qi would ask her about Brother Xu's appearance and temperament and other things related to the search for people, but she didn't want him to ask directly about her relationship with Brother Xu. How would she answer this?

Su Xu is matter is implicated in many things, even Situ Yi can't be explained, let alone this strange Liu Qi? I don't know why, Qin Nanxi always feels that this Liu Qi has a touch of mystery on his body, and the dark eye holes on his mask will always make her spine chill. But if Liu Qi really grew up in Wuquan Village since he was a child, then he would probably know that Liu Xuyuan was not surnamed Liu? Will he even know Su Xu's details?

After a moment of thoughts, Qin Nanxi settled down, and opened his mouth to answer the temptation that he asked: "The general said that Mr. is from Wuquan Village, and it is said that although Liu Xu who is looking for him should be in Wuquan Village, he is not from this village. He had only arrived there about ten years ago when he had defected to his cousin. ”

Qin Nanxi carefully studied his expression after saying that, but with the mask in the way, she still couldn't see anything. Seeing that she didn't answer, Liu Qi didn't ask any more questions, put down the scroll in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Miss came to him alone, there must be something extremely important?" ”

When Qin Nanxi heard this, his face couldn't help but turn a little dark, he lowered his eyes again, and said in a low voice: "This is not a very important matter, but I was entrusted by my father-in-law on his deathbed, and some words must be told to Liu Xu in person." ”

"Father-in-law?" The corners of Liu Qi's thin lips twitched, and he repeated in a low voice, as if these two words could chew an extraordinary aftertaste between his lips and teeth. On his miserable white mask, in the two dark and bottomless eye holes, a pair of cold light shot at Qin Nanxi, like a thunderbolt in the dark night, which can make the dark as bright as day in an instant, and make all the thoughts in the darkness clear.

Qin Nanxi's heartstrings tightened by what he saw, and the hands at the bottom of his sleeves couldn't help but clench into fists, and his long nails were immediately embedded in his palms, and a faint pain instantly swam all over his body. She hurriedly turned around, picked up the porcelain cup on the small table and took a sip of the green tea soup in the cup, and reluctantly calmed her mind before she turned back and looked at Liu Qi calmly: "Yes, it's my father-in-law." I wonder if the general has ever mentioned it to Mr.? Su Jiu grew up in his father's house in Jiangnan when he was a child, so he was very harmonious with his brother-in-law Liu Xu. Entrusted by people and loyal to people, his father-in-law is as kind to Su Jiu as a mountain, and his deathbed entrustment, Su Jiu naturally does not dare to slack off. ”

Liu Qi listened, and said a meaningful "oh", and then there was no follow-up.

In the awkward silence, Qin Nanxi only felt like a live fish nailed to the chopping board, and Liu Qi's sharp gaze was like a scorching sunlight, even if he only looked at her indifferently, her fear would increase exponentially.

Qin Nanxi was silent for a moment in fear, and decided to make a dangerous move to attack and defend. With this in mind, she sank down and asked in a carefully prepared tone of expectation: "The general once said that the surname Liu of the Northern Xinjiang generation is not a big surname, and Mr. Liu is from Wuquan Village, I don't know if Mr. has ever heard of Liu Xu?" ”

Liu Qi took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "Although the surname Liu is not the big surname here, there are thousands of people up and down, and I came out early, so many people don't recognize it." After that, he glanced up at her, and when he saw the expectation in her eyes, he seemed to be a little unbearable and continued: "However, since this matter is entrusted by the general, Liu Qi will naturally do his best." As for whether he can find Miss's 'righteous brother', Liu Qi didn't dare to guarantee it. ”

Although the word 'righteous brother' in Liu Qi's words is particularly special, but because of Situ Yi's feelings, he will not ask in person anymore. Qin Nanxi's heart quietly let go, got up and gave Shi Shiran a salute, and thanked him thoughtfully.

Liu Qi summoned Ah Luo in, and told her to go back to Situ Yi and then go to the car and leave for Tianfeng Ridge immediately. Qin Nanxi thanked him again, followed Liu Qi, walked out of the east chamber, and went to the front garden.

When the group reached the second gate, they heard the sound of a child crying in the front yard, mixed with the rough persuasion of an adult man.

When I looked around, I saw that in front of the stable in the southwest corner, Mo Dan was squatting on the ground, holding on a child's shoulder, and whispering something to persuade him. The child happened to be on his back, and he could only see that he was bowing his head, his shoulders trembling, and he seemed to be crying very sadly.

Mo Dan was coaxing with a sad face, and suddenly looked up and saw Liu Qi, his huge body bounced up like a machine, and he smiled with admiration from afar.

"What's going on?" Liu Qi glanced at the child and asked lightly.

Mo Dan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly fooled the kid with a pair of big hands, pulled him to turn around and salute Liu Qi, and explained with a smile: "This baby heard the general say that he would take him to the army that day, and he will follow me to the camp today." How old is he, and that's where he went? No, if you don't let him go, you start crying! ”

"I promised him to join the army, but I didn't go to the camp now." Behind him, Situ Yi interjected.

And when they turned back, they saw him coming out of the inner garden.

When the boy saw him, he rushed to him with an arrow, knelt down and kowtowed, and cried: "General, I heard Brother Mo Dan say that the general was only fourteen years old when he joined the army, and now I am eleven years old, why can't I go to the camp?" Beg the general to take me to the camp, I don't want to raise horses and feed cattle here. With that, he straightened up and whined aggrieved.

"You little cub, how can you compare to the general." Mo Dan was so anxious that he blew his beard and glared.

Situ Yi glanced at Mo Dan, stopped him, leaned down to help the child, and said with a smile, "Ambition!" It's just that meritorious service in the army doesn't necessarily mean that you will go to the camp now, but what I let you stay in the house to do is much more important than in the camp. ”

The boy looked up in confusion and with tears on his face. As soon as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Qin Nanxi on the side.

"Maverick!" Only then did she realize that the child in front of her was the same child named Xiaoniu that she had met when she was sold to the Uda camp that day. On that day, she begged Situ Yi to redeem the calf and save her, and at that time he said that she "had to make inches". Now, the child is in his general's mansion......

"Little brother!" The little cow also recognized Qin Nanxi, jumped in front of her, pulled her arm and looked carefully around her up and down, and said incoherently excitedly: "You're okay!" That's great! That's great! You were also saved by the general? I was specially rescued by Brother Mo Dan sent by the general! ”

Qin Nanxi stroked his shoulder, glanced at Situ Yi gratefully, bowed his head and said to Xiao Niu: "Do you know that the general specially saved you, and you still don't listen to his arrangement to cry here?" ”

The little cow was stunned, looked up and said blankly, "I, I want to join the army like a general, I don't want to raise horses to be a stable." ”

Qin Nanxi patted his frozen face and said with a smile: "Silly boy, the general left you in the mansion, one is because you are too young to be a soldier, and the other is to trust you, think about it, how precious is the general's goose?" The general handed it over to you, is this important task? ”

The calf suddenly realized and burst into laughter. and hurriedly thanked Situ Yiyi. Seeing this, Mo Dan stepped forward and dragged him down.

Being troubled by them like this, it was already dawn, and at the gate of the General's Mansion, the carriage that went to Tianfeng Ridge was ready. Ah Luo took care of a simple little baggage, and helped Liu Qi to the side of the car. Qin Nanxi followed Situ Yi and sent him to the car.

"Miss Su's injury is not serious, just rest, but your injury is not light, don't be careless." Liu Qi held the edge of the carriage with one hand, turned around and glanced at Situ Yi and Qin Nanxi, who was side by side with him, and instructed.

Situ Yi nodded in response, stretched out his hand to help him into the car, and advised: "I sent a competent person to follow you, even so, you have to be careful." If anything, send me a message in time. ”

Liu Qi hummed in response, was silent for a moment, and said to Situ Yi: "Li San's people will definitely do it, you have to be careful." If I have the opportunity, I will also listen to Shuofang's affairs on this trip. I'll be back in as little as ten days, or as little as half a month. Then you have to plan ahead for the things in Beijing. ”

Situ Yi answered, and helped him into the car. The carriage then drove away, slowly out of view.

"Who is that Li San? Why would he risk killing you? Qin Nanxi stared at the smaller and smaller carriage in front of him, but what floated in front of him was the solemn expression when Fang Cai Liu Qi told Situ Yi to be careful. With Liu Qi's person, this must be ninety percent sure.

Situ Yi beside him retracted his gaze, turned to look at her with a smile and said, "Last time I said that I would take you to taste Yunze's sake, but it happens that there is nothing to do today, why don't we go now?" ”

"Situ Yi, ....... you" Qin Nanxi looked at his dodging eyes, and doubts rose in his heart.
