Nalan Jinxiu used all the tricks, and finally forced Xu Jince to agree not to pursue it again. But Xu Jince also has his own requirements, that is, Mu Li can't continue to stay by her side, and it can even be said that he can't continue to stay in Northern Xinjiang.

Mu Li grew up in Zhenbei Wangfu since he was a child, and he had no home or relatives. For Mu Li, who only knows how to train every day, only knows that there are tasks, and will not earn or spend money, how will he live if he leaves the Zhenbei Palace? Nalan Jinxiu pleaded again and again, but Xu Jince was still unmoved, only saying that if she interfered in this matter again, then he could only let Mu Li disappear from this world.

Nalan Jinxiu knew that Xu Jince was there to protect her. The Zhenbei Wangfu has always been strictly disciplined, and when she passes by, all the guards must bow their heads, and they are not allowed to look at the county lord, let alone talk behind their backs. But she is still keenly aware that whenever she leaves, the eyes behind her are questioning, speculating, and puzzled......

She didn't know what method her brother used to block this Youyou. She only knew that Mu Li might have to leave. In fact, there is nothing to be reluctant to, life is like this, there are gatherings and dispersions. She should choose to accept it calmly, although she is reluctant to give up, but as long as she lives, isn't it the best result?

Mu Li's departure was very secretive. Xu Jince did this very cleanly, and when someone found out that Mu Li was gone, they would probably guess that he had been secretly killed. After insisting on Nalan Jinxiu again and again, she had the opportunity to see Mu Li off.

The injuries on Mu Li's body were almost healed. He was dressed in black, and he still had a cold face, just like when Nalan Jinxiu first saw him. The only difference was that he didn't have the long sword in his arms, and the long sword was wrapped in a black cloth by him and carried behind his back.

In fact, as of now, Nalan Jinxiu still doesn't know how to face the parting scene. During the days when she returned to northern Xinjiang, Mu Li was by her side almost every day and never left. She had gone from not caring at first to getting used to him being around. She took out the coil she had prepared for Mu Li, and said, "Here are the wound medicine I adjusted for you, two sets of clothes, and some silver tickets and broken silver, you can use it." ”

Mu Li wanted to refuse, but he had saved a lot of money over the years, which was enough for him. But I couldn't bear to refuse her offer, so I had to reach out and take it.

Because his right hand was still wounded, he took it with his left hand. Nalan Jinxiu looked at his right hand, which was still wrapped in layers, thinking that he was going to float around, his eyes were sour, and the tears that he had endured for a long time still couldn't hold back after all. She lowered her head, tears falling down her cheeks. She felt that she was very useless, knowing that Mu Li must have been framed, but she couldn't find any evidence to save him.

Mu Li watched her cry quietly, and gradually, her heart hurt. He remembered that when he first came to her, the prince and the prince were not in the mansion, and she often looked in a daze in the direction of Jinling, with sadness and nostalgia in her eyes. He knew that she must be missing the place where he grew up, after all, she was just a little girl who was not yet an adult and no one around her cared about.

He wanted to take care of her, he wanted to protect her, he wanted her to stop being sad. Even if this is his wishful thinking, even if his identity is never worthy of her, then what is there to be afraid of. Anyway, in this vast world, apart from her, there is nothing worth his concern.

"You...... Do you have a plan where you want to go?" asked Nalan Jinxiu with a good mood.

"I don't know, the world is so big, the four seas are home. "If he doesn't be her bodyguard and is removed from the Zhenbei Palace, the only change he has is that he doesn't have to call himself a subordinate in front of her, so that they seem to be closer again.

The four seas are home, and many times it is not free and easy, but helpless. Because I had no relatives and no friends, I had to wander all the time. When she thought of him, a person who practiced martial arts, but finally left a stump hand, lonely, and floating around, her heart suddenly hurt. She didn't want to spend a short time crying, so she held back the astringency in her eyes and pretended to be relaxed: "It sounds very good, like a hermit master." ”

Mu Li's eyes were bitter, and he said softly: "I hurt my right hand, I am like a waste, and I can no longer protect the county lord." The county lord must not put himself in danger in the future, and must find someone who can be trusted. ”

Nalan Jinxiu smiled bitterly, at first she felt that she didn't need a guard, and when she got used to it, she never thought of not wanting him. Because she knew that as long as she still had the identity of the county lord, she could protect him. She has been trying to find a way to keep him, but after all, she still can't resist her brother.

"No, I'll never have any more guards. ”

Mu Li looked up at her, his eyes could not hide his surprise.

Nalan Jinxiu smiled and explained: "I didn't have a guard before, and after having you, I always can't figure out which one is the master between me and you." After the trip to Fuhe Village, I thought, it's not bad to have a guard like you, can you ...... Lay down your life to protect me. ”

Mu Li's eyes were lowered, and he looked at her quietly with a lowered gaze. Looking at her eyes, her eyes were smeared with water, and the pair of jet-black eyes were more and more dazzling. She was much lower than him, and she looked up at him with all her might, and her expression was determined: "You are my companion, although you bear the name of a guard." But I don't want someone else to take your place, that's the only thing I can give back to you. Hopefully, one day, when I can make my own decisions, if you still have nowhere to go, come back to me. I said I would protect you, and that always counts. ”

Mu Li's heart was extremely complicated, he didn't want to leave her, and even felt that unless he died, he would definitely not leave her. But how could he not leave? This matter is related to the reputation of the county lord, even if the prince does not persecute him, for the sake of her well-being, he will leave.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally took advantage of the urge to leave his sorrow, and stretched out his left hand to pull her into his arms. This hug does not have a trace of male and female affection, but more encouragement and happiness. Just like on the battlefield, comrades-in-arms who have just experienced a life-and-death battle will hug each other and be glad that they are still alive.

Nalan Jinxiu was stunned at first, and then she was also infected by this emotion, reached out to hug him back, and patted him on the back comfortingly. She thought he was saying goodbye, but she didn't know that he was hugging her just because he wanted to. She has always been within his reach, but because of his identity and fear of scaring her, he has never been willing to have a trace of intimacy. Even the time he offended her, his mind was not clear, and his memories were obviously there, but he didn't feel a trace of it.

Now, he wanted to hug her like this. He wanted to go far away in the future, and he couldn't see her, and he could still remember the feeling in his heart now - the spiritual platform was empty, the spirit was quiet, and there was only this girl who smiled sweetly in his eyes, heart, and around him.

"I have something for you. As Mu Li spoke, he took out a small box from his sleeve.

Nalan Jinxiu took it happily, in her impression, Mu Li was an authentic big wood, but she didn't expect him to prepare gifts for people. She opened it, and inside the box was a small wooden figure, and the girl's long hair was scattered, and she smiled sweetly.

"This is...... Is it me?" asked Nalan Jinxiu, uncertain. The reason why she hesitated was because she felt that this little wooden man looked very similar to herself, but when did she laugh so innocently?

"It's you. Your birthday is coming soon, and this is my birthday gift for you. "The fifteen-year-old birthday is extremely important for a woman, because when the birthday arrives, it is a sign that she can get married. Originally, because there was still plenty of time, he could carve more detailed, but now he can't wait, and it is difficult for his right hand to bend, I'm afraid he will never be able to carve a portrait again.

Nalan Jinxiu put away the little wooden figure and said with a smile: "Thank you Da Mu, I like this gift very much." Come and don't be rude, since I received your gift, I should also return one to you. ”

Mu Li was thinking about what she would give to herself, when he saw her frowning in distress. When it was over, she smiled and said, "I didn't prepare today, next time, next time we meet, I will definitely give you a gift." ”

Mu Li smiled, sighing in his heart, he was still young and didn't understand the meaning of the difference. They are separated this time, maybe they will not be able to see each other again in this life and this life, after all, the prince will not let him appear in the northern frontier again.

The person who sent Nalan Jinxiu, although he didn't dare to urge the county lord, also knew that the time was almost up. If they bring the county lord back too late, the prince will definitely punish them. In fact, they are also a little reluctant to interrupt them now, after all, they are all guards, who doesn't want the guards to be valued by the county lord?

Mu Li had already seen what they meant, and he urged: "County Lord, go back!"

Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't have anything to hesitate, she instructed the last sentence: "After you leave, don't go to be a guard killer or anything." You go and buy a plot of land in a secluded place, build a house there, grow some grain to eat, and raise some chickens and ducklings. If a girl is willing to marry you, you should marry a daughter-in-law, and then have a bunch of little wood. ”

She said and felt that something was wrong, looked at Mu Li, and said seriously: "You can't always keep a straight face in the future, in this case, which girl is willing to marry you? You have to learn to laugh, just like me." ”

With that, she looked up and smiled, her eyes narrowed.

Because she has been blowing outside for a long time, her hair is a little messy, and her makeup is not as delicate as usual. But in Mu Li's eyes, she is still so good-looking, her eyelashes are a little moist, her eyes are clear and clear, and the two small pear vortices on the side of her mouth are so sweet and pleasant.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know that everything today had been remembered by Mu Li for a long time, until the end of his life......
