On the official road from Beiyan to the ancient city, a vermilion carriage walked slowly. There was a boy in brocade clothes in the car who was playing a fan slowly, and his hand did not stop even though the weather was not hot.

"Young master, this woman is covered in injuries, maybe she is a wanted criminal, why do you want to save her?" Outside the car were two children, about ten years old.

"Don't you think she's supposed to be a storyteller?"

"There is a story, and it must be a blood feud with someone. You see that her ten fingernails are gone, and she is still covered in wounds, and the person who attacked her is really ruthless!"

The boy in brocade looked at the person who was still asleep, thoughtfully. He wasn't a nosy man, but he was touched at the first sight of this woman.

A person who was tortured like this, and who had such a strong will to survive, aroused his curiosity. He saved her just to know her story, that's all.

The carriage turned from the official road to the side road and began to jolt. Lige, who was originally asleep, woke up leisurely, and as soon as she became conscious, she felt that someone was approaching her. She subconsciously reached out and clasped the man's arm, and as soon as she pulled it, the man fell into her arms, and he locked the Adam's apple with his fingers.

"Who are you, and where are you taking me?" she heard two other people outside the carriage, so she kept her voice low. In this case, she had to be close enough to him if she wanted the person to hear her.

"Don't do it, I say, I say. The boy in brocade did not get angry or feel scared because he was threatened, but said slowly: "My name is Shen Xingzhou, and I am here to do business in Beiyan." ”

"Why am I in your carriage?"

Shen Xingzhou smiled bitterly: "I came out of the Northern Yan Palace, and as soon as the carriage entered a small alley, you jumped on the carriage and asked me to take you out of the city." It's only been two or three days, you can't have forgotten it, have you?"

Seeing that he didn't know martial arts, Li Ge relaxed his guard. She let go of him, leaned weakly on the soft couch on the carriage, and whispered, "Thank you for the rescue." ”

"Forget it, I'll be thankful if you don't choke me by the throat. Shen Xingzhou rubbed his neck, and approached Lige with some gossip: "Your hands are like this, how can you still lock your throat?"

Ligo didn't speak.

"Who is responsible for your injuries?"

Ligo remained silent.

"If you don't speak, don't blame me for leaving you in the car!"

Lige, you know that you have no one to rely on now, and if someone really throws her in this wilderness, she is afraid that she can only enter the wolf's mouth. So I said: "Naturally, it was the enemy's doing, and who it is, that's my private matter." ”

"I'm a businessman and I never trade at a loss. There is an unwritten rule in my country, which is that I only save the worthy. Shen Xingzhou flashed a pair of dark eyes, looking a little innocent.

"And what do you think I'm worth?"

"You'll have to tell yourself about it!"

"Since you were willing to come to the rescue, you must have taken a fancy to me, didn't you?"

Shen Xingzhou began to fan again, with a smile on his face: "I can see that you have good bones and good skills, I go from south to north, and there is a lack of a woman around me who can serve people and protect me." ”

"You let me be your maid?"

"Yes. ”

"Good. ”

Shen Xingzhou probably didn't expect Lige to agree so happily, he touched his chin and said, "I have to tell you what kind of business I did first, and if you still decide to stay, then you can follow me." ”

"You say. ”

"I used to be in the antiques business, and I often help others with treasures. ”

Lige's pupils widened suddenly, she looked at the man in front of her who was only about twenty years old, and asked in a low voice, "You are the Smiling Buddha?"

Shen Xingzhou laughed even more when he heard this title, and the fan in his hand rattled: "I didn't expect you to know my nickname, and everyone in the rivers and lakes said that I was a bald monk, just like that Maitreya Buddha." Tell me how you recognized me?"

"Antiques business. ”

"There are more people in the antiques business, and this reason is a bit far-fetched. ”

"This pendant of yours is different. ”

Shen Xingzhou picked up his fan pendant, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It has always stayed by my side, and I don't think it's any different." ”

"Your jade pendant is snow-white, only the middle part has a little cinnabar color, isn't this a dark jade?"

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect to pick it up like this, and I actually picked up a piece of live treasure and came back. You even know Styx, so it's not surprising that you know my true identity. You know so well about me, but I don't know anything about you. ”

"I've heard that you have a rule that you don't have to ask anyone who is following you. ”

Shen Xingzhou pondered for a moment: "What I mean by this is to people who are absolutely loyal to me, and for you, who have just met, I think it's better to know more." ”

"You just need to remember that I have a blood vendetta, and it is enough to avenge it sooner or later. ”

"The person you offended must be a big man in Beiyan, then I can't take you in, so as not to get into trouble. ”

Li Ge narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Then you have to think clearly, whether it is more terrible to cause trouble or die here!"

Shen Xingzhou looked at her fierce appearance and patted his chest gently: "I was kind enough to save you in the car, but I didn't expect you to take revenge so soon." ”

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so you say you can't accept me?"

"Accept it, do I dare not accept it? Auntie!"

Hearing him say this, Lige was relieved, and she whispered, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer if you stay." ”

Shen Xingzhou really couldn't understand what this woman was doing, how could the transition between back and forth be so big? Just now, she was so strong that she wanted to strangle him, but now she has become a weak person.

Lige only now began to look at the wounds on his body, and found that although the wounds looked shocking, they were no longer serious. She said coldly, "Thank you for the medicine." ”

Shen Xingzhou's eyes widened, her injuries were all over her body, and when he gave her medicine, he took off her clothes. Although he didn't look at it indiscriminately, and he covered all the places that should be covered, how could she, as a woman, not care about this at all?

He thought about the marks on her body, especially the tooth marks on her back, which seemed to have been left in the affairs of men and women. Could it be that she became like this, right......

Shen Xingzhou felt a little too much to think about it like this, thinking about others so much, it was really not a gentleman's doing. So he staggered the place and asked, "Do you have any relatives, or do you have any concerns?"

"Nope. "Lige's biggest wish now is to heal his injuries, make himself strong enough, and then kill Tuoba Tao! As for Xu Jince and Liange, she really doesn't know how to meet.

Nalan Jinxiu and his party have not arrived in Jinling after walking for more than half a month, Rao is walking so slowly along the way, King Xun still can't stand the fatigue of the journey and falls ill.

"What kind of climate is it here in the northern Xinjiang, it's cold like this before winter, this king ...... Ahh

Nalan Jinxiu originally didn't plan to see him, but the imperial doctor he brought with him prescribed two prescriptions to him but it still didn't work. King Xun was furious, and someone mentioned that she was a military doctor, so she was pulled over to check his pulse.

"I've heard you're pretty good at medicine. King Xun got along with her all the way, felt that she was too cold, and in order to express his sincerity, he took the initiative to talk to her every time.

"It's all Heyou Medicine, and it's not as good as the imperial doctor around His Highness. ”

King Xun snorted coldly: "They are very sleek, and they always have the mentality of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault." Give this king some medicine that doesn't hurt or itch, how can he cure a good disease!"

Nalan Jinxiu didn't hear his complaint at all, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this is a disease of wind and heat, and it is easiest to linger, so you need to be less angry and try to relax." ”

King Xun knew that she was changing the law and saying that he had a bad temper, but he was respectful, and he couldn't find fault with it. At this time, he sneezed a few more times, which really damaged his image.

It is related to King Xun's body, Nalan Jinxiu does not dare to be sloppy, and the decoction is made by himself. It was late autumn, and it was cold at nightfall, so she looked at the stove outside the tent, felt her hands a little cold, and slowly roasted them.

In the evening, she ate mutton, and she didn't eat much because she thought the taste was very strong, and she felt a little hungry at this time. Mu Li and Liangshan were putting felt outside the tent for her, and King Xun was ill, so she didn't know how many days she would have to delay before she could continue to hurry. It was so cold last night that she didn't sleep well all night.

She was thinking that it would be good if Mu Li was here, and she could give her a pheasant or something, when she saw Ji Hongye bring a few sweet potatoes over. He was a picky eater, and today's mutton is unpalatable, and he hardly eats it.

"Copy this!"

Nalan Jinxiu took it and put it under the small stove, so that it could be eaten in a while. Ji Hongye also wore a fur coat, which looked lighter and thinner than Nalan Jinxiu, but he didn't seem to be cold at all.

"You don't have to be so close to the stove, it's easy to get cold after baking for a long time. Ji Hongye saw that her hand was about to stick to the wall of the furnace, and couldn't help but remind her.

Nalan Jinxiu took her hand back and put it in the big pot to warm it, but the effect was not obvious, she still wanted to reach for the stove.

Ji Hongye saw his intentions, pulled her hand over and warmed her with his own hand. Xu had long been accustomed to physical contact with him, and Nalan Jinxiu did not feel uncomfortable because he had been separated for so long.

Ji Hongye's understanding of women came from Nalan Jinxiu. If you talk about experience, it's certainly not very sufficient. But he is usually careful and cares for her, so as soon as he shakes her hand, he feels inexplicably familiar.
