Nalan Jinxiu was a little incoherent when he spoke in a hurry, and he didn't pay attention to whether the words were used correctly. But Mu Li heard it clearly, he slowly raised his head, still with his usual indifferent look, and said coldly: "You have a nightmare, I just don't want you to be afraid." ”

Nalan Jinxiu's mind was still messed up, and he didn't realize that he didn't call each other by the county lord and his subordinates. In fact, Mu Li looked calm on the surface, but he was also nervous in his heart, so he didn't realize that he didn't use honorifics just now.

Nalan Jinxiu felt that what he said seemed to make sense, at least she couldn't say anything accusatory. But for whatever reason, he shouldn't have hugged her, this must be wrong. She calmed down for a moment, then said, "Then you should wake me up." ”

Mu Li said in a low voice: "The subordinates called, but the county lord couldn't hear it." ”

It's very likely, she does sleep quite deeply sometimes. Nalan Jinxiu was blocked by him again, in fact, if you think about it carefully, Mu Li is usually not very talkative, but he is indeed not stupid at all, and he can even be said to be very smart.

Also, how could the qualifications of the guards assigned to her by her brother be poor? She shook her head, feeling that she had mistaken the point. Obviously she wanted to teach her guards a lesson, but how did she think about whether people were smart or not? In order to bring the topic back, she had to say, "Then it must be that you are not loud enough." ”

Mu Li lowered his head, at that time, he only heard her shouting quite poignantly, and his heart hurt for a while, but he couldn't care about anything. Now seeing that she blames herself, he can't tell what he feels in his heart, in short, he is not very comfortable. Especially the third brother she shouted, who was cherished and dependent, he didn't think it was her brother.

Mu Li thought about it, and suddenly realized that his thoughts were too dangerous. He seemed to care more and more about the county lord, and he didn't even want her to leave his sight for a moment. He has never had contact with girls, and he is a very simple kind of person emotionally, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything. Now, he is thinking about the county lord in Xiaoxiang!

As soon as Mu Li's thought popped out of his mind, it seemed to give him a slap in the face and make him suddenly sober up. He suddenly knelt down in front of Nalan Jinxiu, lowered his head, and said lightly: "My subordinates have offended the county lord, please punish the county lord." ”

Nalan Jinxiu has a psychological barrier to others kneeling to her. That's because in the previous life, when she remembered that when the Taifu Mansion fell, everyone knelt in the courtyard, trembling. There were all the faces she knew, but she could only watch from the sidelines, and could do nothing.

After that, every time someone knelt in front of her, she would have the feeling that she especially wanted to protect that person. And now too. She turned around and walked to the window, looked out of the window with a heavy heart, and said calmly: "Mu Li, I never let you kneel to me because I don't like this way." You never knelt down to me before, not because you didn't respect me, but because you never regarded me as a master. ”

"The subordinates don't dare. ”

"Don't dare?" Nalan Jinxiu turned her head and stared at him tightly, and her tone was much harsher than just now: "You have been by my side for a while, I don't know what kind of character you are?" You seem to be a guard sent to me by my brother on the surface, and you have to obey my orders in everything. But in your heart, no one can be your master. Do what you want to do, even when it's hard to do. What you don't want to do, even if it's a knife on your neck, you still won't do it. ”

Mu Li was silent, only lowered his head, not knowing whether it was acquiescence or what.

Nalan Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief again, looked at him and said, "You kneel on me now, it's just that you feel that I'm just a stranger to you, it doesn't matter, right?"

Mu Li still didn't speak, struggling inwardly. Some emotions seemed to burst through his chest, but he knew that he couldn't say it. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the right to stay with her.

"Mu Li, you look at me and answer me!" This is a rare time when Nalan Jinxiu is stern.

In addition to being indifferent and calm, Mu Li's temperament also has a straightforwardness that belongs to young people. He especially wanted to say what was in his heart, he wanted to ask her, answer you? I dare to answer, and do you dare to listen? But in the end, reluctance prevailed. He was reluctant to disappoint her, reluctant to see her embarrassed, and reluctant to leave her.

He never liked anyone, and he never thought about who he would like one day. However, the moment he hugged her, he knew very well in his heart that he was in love with this girl, his little master. It turns out that liking someone is such a simple thing, just by getting along with her for a while, you will like it.

"Mu Li, I've been telling you that people should trust each other. And when will you be able to trust me completely, just like you are to your comrades. Nalan Jinxiu worked hard for a long time, but he still said these words. She is a person who has died once, and she has seen many things through, including the relationship between men and women. Mu Li was hiding from her, in fact, because of what she was hiding, she probably knew it in her heart.

When Mu Li heard her say this, his heart also turned cold. She has a kind temperament and is good to her subordinates, she is from a noble background, but she can commit herself to free clinics in that small pharmacy. Her kind of specialness made him let his guard down, thinking that they could be fellow travelers. But she was born to be the master, and he is a person who can't even control his own destiny, how can they be on the same path?

She said these things to him now because he had hugged her just now! she wanted him to die and stop thinking about her. She was afraid of hurting him, so she said it so tactfully, if he didn't restrain his thoughts, how could he be worthy of her?

Mu Li got up, saluted her respectfully, and said lightly: "County Lord, you are the master, the person whose subordinates swore to protect you, just now your subordinates accidentally offended you, and it will not be in the future." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, and found a step for him to go down: "I don't blame you for being in a hurry." ”

Mu Li sorted out the half-copied art of war so that she could refer to it later, and re-studied the ink for her before exiting the room. Every time she was not in a good mood, she would write, and she would quiet down as she wrote.

Mu Li thought that writing could calm people's minds. didn't know that Nalan Jinxiu wrote only because her handwriting was taught by the third brother. Her current font is seven or eight points similar to the third brother's. Every time she saw the words she had written, she felt inexplicably at peace.

Feelings are such an unreasonable thing, obviously that person failed her, but she still remembers it. Before she left Jinling, if she knew that she couldn't let go of it, she would definitely make it clear to him. She asked him to tell her in person that his feelings were far less important than his career, and he chose the latter. If that were the case, she probably wouldn't be as obsessed with it as she is now.

Nalan Jinxiu picked up Mu Li's copy of the art of war and sat on the bookcase, and didn't look at it for a long time. Mu Li's current handwriting, although it looks much better than before, is still a little sloppy, which is not in line with his neat character. It seems that she still has to supervise him well.

The thought of supervising him to write made her feel a little headache. Mu Li is a few years older than Xu Jinsheng, but Nalan Jinxiu is about the same age as him. She also had a new love affair and loved someone wholeheartedly.

The person you like for the first time will be impressive, and you will never forget it. That's because I just knew how to like it, and I would give all my feelings to it. Since it is a sincere effort, it will inevitably be unforgettable.

She liked Zong Xuanyi at the beginning, isn't that what she likes? This kind of liking starts pure, and ends simply. And the kind of love that still has to be admitted after careful consideration is love. True love is something that people can't easily give up, just like she is now with her third brother.

Now Mu Li is probably just a novelty to her. Because he has never been in contact with other women like this, he will ignorantly regard his good feelings as liking. In the beginning, it should be easy to suppress!

Nalan Jinxiu pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a way, that is, to let Mu Li contact more girls. When he gets along with many girls, he will understand that this feeling cannot be called love, just a good feeling for the opposite sex. The difference between this kind of affection and love is that it can have many, and love is the only one.

Although Nalan Jinxiu is a man of action, in order not to make Mu Li suspicious, she still decided to let Ji Xiang Ruyi try first. Her two girls are the most Bingxue smart, let them have more contact with Mu Li, and they are not afraid of giving birth to right and wrong. Even if there is a birth of right and wrong, it is a good thing, anyway, if the man is unmarried and the woman is not married, she will make the decision for them when the time comes.

Nalan Jinxiu was playing her wishful thinking beautifully, and was startled by Cuizhu's cry. She pushed open the door and stood on the second floor looking down at the courtyard. Cuizhu came over because she looked crazy, and was stopped by the mother-in-law at the door, and she still shouted loudly to see the county lord.

Nalan Jinxiu had no choice but to let her in, Cuizhu saw her, and didn't go forward, just knelt on the ground, and begged her vigorously: "County lord, slave maid, please save the princess!"

"What's wrong with the princess?"

Cuizhu didn't dare to say it, so she just fell on the ground and cried vigorously. Nalan Jinxiu had an ominous premonition in her heart, she asked Mu Li to bring her medicine box, and she rushed downstairs as fast as she could, rushing towards Cangwu Yu.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she felt weird. In the past, there were many guards guarding the door, and the maids and ladies also came and went, busy with their own business. At this time, the courtyard was very empty, as if she was the only one. She called out to her mother twice, but no one answered, so she had to go upstairs.
