"Life always has to pass, and it's the same everywhere. Mu Li felt that if she didn't say anything more, she would lower her head to the ground.

Nalan Jinxiu heard his words and hurriedly raised his head, looking at him, his eyes were also shining. She looked at him quietly, then smiled again.

Mu Li was originally an expressionless person, but when he saw her smiling, he moved the corners of his lips not very obviously.

Nalan Jinxiu suddenly walked up to him, lifted his cheek with his hand, and said with a smile: "The corners of your lips should be raised when you arrive, you are pulling it down like this now, no matter how you look at it, it is too far-fetched to laugh." ”

Mu Li felt her warm fingers touching her skin, which was originally a very bland and peaceful feeling. But when she took her hand down, she inadvertently swept his lips, and it became agitated.

Nalan Jinxiu's movements were not distracted, and he saw that two red clouds suddenly rose on Mu Li's white jade-like cheeks. It was as if she had discovered a new continent, staring at it for a moment, and then laughing.

Mu Li was so laughed by her that he couldn't sit still, he stretched out his hand to hold down the person in front of him who was laughing presumptuously, but he was afraid of disturbing her good mood, so he could only let her laugh.

"Mu Li, I just found out now that you are so easy to be shy. Nalan Jinxiu didn't realize that he was too much, and still laughed wildly: "I used to think that you just had a stiff face and few expressions on your face, but now I know that you are innocent." ”

Speaking of this, she didn't seem to think it was enough, and asked again with a smile: "I don't seem to have asked you, how old are you this year, you should be a few years older than me!"

Mu Li lowered his head slightly to look at her, she was only a teenager, but she was not low, but because she was born delicate, she looked very petite. Anyway, in his opinion, this is just a little girl, he doesn't dislike her for being small, but she suspects his age?

Nalan Jinxiu smiled enough, and his sanity naturally returned. She found that there was contempt in Mu Li's eyes, so she subconsciously raised her chin, not realizing how childish her behavior was.

"The Princess's Mansion is a place of right and wrong, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for you to go back this time, aren't you afraid at all?" Mu Li felt that the girl in front of him was still like a child, he reached out and gently rubbed the top of her hair, his voice was still cool and faintly revealed a hint of softness.

The two of them used to be county lords and guards, and they have always adhered to their duties and have never exceeded the rules in the slightest. Now that they get along, they are more like friends, and some intimate actions are natural.

In addition, Nalan is used to pretending to be a man, and it is in an open place like northern Xinjiang. There are few thoughts of a little daughter in her heart, and she is more free and easy.

Not only was she not disgusted by Mu Li's contact, but she was still very accustomed to it, and she was still smiling a little heartlessly at this time: "I've experienced so many things, whether it's the war-torn Northern Xinjiang or the purgatory-like Huiwang Mansion, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”

Mu Li felt distressed for a while when he heard her say this, he sighed lowly, but he didn't say a word of comfort. He didn't want to admit that he felt he was the one who needed comfort, and that it was he who was suffering even harder.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know why, and saw the grievances in his silence. She smiled again: "I think the person who should put on a bitter gourd face now is me, okay?"

Mu Li raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I'm not afraid, because I know you're by my side!" she said without a head, and human courage is sometimes infinite, especially when there are companions. Nalan Jinxiu is now.

"Of course I will always be there for you, but if something happens, I still hope that you have the ability to protect yourself. Mu Li said.

Nalan Jinxiu pointed to his wrist, looking a little obedient: "I even wear the butterfly shadow on my wrist when I sleep." ”

Mu Li shook his head: "Although the butterfly shadow is amazingly powerful, it is only suitable for long-range attacks, after all, it has limitations. ”

"You're not trying to call me hand-to-hand combat, are you?" thought of Lige, who was very flexible in her fights, a bit like a fish in water. Thinking of Lige's heart, he was sad for no reason, and he didn't know where she was now or if she was still alive.

"Hand-to-hand combat is certainly strong, but if you're training now, you're definitely a little late, and besides, you're weak, and the results are probably not satisfactory. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was not motivated at all by what he said, her shoulders collapsed, and she was obviously not interested in this topic. What she didn't expect was that Mu Li was planning to make a very powerful weapon for her, and in the future, he would really save her life countless times.

The next day, Nalan Jinxiu had already gotten up at dawn, she and Mu Li simply sorted out their clothes, and went to say goodbye to Ji Hongye.

At that time, Ji Hongye was having breakfast, and he was going to the court today, and he had to go to the criminal department after the next court. Ji Boyan should also come back later, and he is going to test him to see if he has any insight on this trip.

Hearing that Nalan Jinxiu was coming, he vaguely guessed that she should have come to say goodbye. His eyes were completely healed, and she didn't seem to have a reason to stay, so he asked the plate he had prepared in advance to be wrapped around and handed to her.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't shirk it, she cured his eyes, which was a great favor. But because he made an exchange for the Baoxuan Armor Army at the beginning, now he will take these valuable entanglements, and it may be considered a clear two.

Ji Hongye originally wanted to send her away, but aside from the previous relationship, they can be regarded as having some friendship now. Besides, she healed his eyes, and he really should have behaved more enthusiastically in etiquette.

Nalan Jinxiu refused, her voice was calm but indifferent: "Master Ji has a lot of things to do every day in an important position, so see him off!"

Ji Hongye didn't like the difficulties of strongmen, but in the end he didn't go. He didn't know that he wouldn't have the opportunity to talk to her like this in the next few years, and he didn't know that he would one day regret his mistakes.

Nalan Jinxiu and Mu Li were still riding alone, they were originally extremely fast war horses, and the two quickly disappeared from Ji Hongye's sight.

Later, he struggled to remember the time of separation. But what remains in my memory is only the back of a green coat and the red dust splashed by the horse's hooves......

When Nalan Jinxiu and his party arrived at Luozhong, the capital of Southern Chu, it was already half a month later. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the wound on Nalan Jinxiu's collarbone was faintly painful.

It was already very difficult for her to hold on a horse, so Mu Li bought her a carriage. The carriage was wrapped in thick felt on the outside, plush on the inside, and even a small stove for heating was placed in the carriage.

It was such a warm environment, but Nalan Jinxiu's pain did not diminish at all. This is a problem caused by the damage of the clavicle hook, even if it is well maintained, I am afraid that it will take many years to fully recover.

She cursed King Hui in her heart, only to feel that this day was too difficult. At this time, I received a letter from Qu Qingjia, and the communication tool between them was a huge white eagle, which was very spiritual.

The main purpose of Qu Qingjia's letter was to worry about the pain of her wounds due to climate change, and said some ways to relieve the pain, including acupuncture.

He knew all the Nalan Jinxiu mentioned in his letter, and Qu Qingjia naturally knew that she knew. That's because they are both master and apprentice, but when they communicate, they are all serious, and as for those who come in and say goodbye, they never say anything to each other.

"Master, I didn't say anything, I deliberately didn't have anything to say. Nalan Jinxiu had just settled down in the princess's mansion, and Qu Lianbing was still resting, and she wanted to take advantage of this time to reply to the letter.

Mu Li saw that her face was still very pale, thinking of the suffering she had suffered along the way, and said in a low voice: "It's not too late to reply later, you can rest for a while." ”

It's strange to say that Nalan Jinxiu hasn't slept a peaceful sleep in the past half a month. Whether in the carriage or in the inn, she always had strange dreams when she fell asleep.

The previous life and this life overlapped repeatedly in her dreams, and she was terrified when she woke up. It was only now that she realized that she was scared in her heart.

"Mu Li, you don't have to guard me like this, I just don't have a good rest from the wound. Nalan Jinxiu laid out the paper and studied the ink by himself.

Mu Li saw that she stood up again, so he took the ink block and studied it for her.

Nalan Jinxiu is now accustomed to him doing these things for her, although he used to be clumsy and couldn't do these delicate jobs, but now he can be handy.

Her letter was much more normal than Qu Qingjia's, first asking him about his recent situation in the ancient city, and then asking how Zhu Yunbai was recovering. In the end, she told him about the current situation in the princess's mansion and her own plans.

Although Qu Qingjia often travels all over the world, he rarely stays well in Nanchu. But he still knows a lot about the situation in Nanchu, and at this time some of his suggestions become very important.

Qu Qingjia did not live up to her trust, and in his next reply, he had already cleaned up the people who could influence the situation in Nanchu. This is different from the information collected by the princess's mansion, and the actual meaning is greater.

After Nalan Jinxiu replied to the letter, there was a legend that the princess woke up. She changed her clothes and went to see Qu Lianbing, but after meeting, she was surprised. Qu Lianbing was so thin that he was almost out of shape.

"Mother, ...... are you" Nalan Jinxiu sat on the edge of the bed, and her first reaction was to check her pulse.

Qu Lianbing leaned weakly on the head of the bed, panting heavily, and whispered: "I have seen a lot of doctors, and they all say that I can't do it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu found that her pulse was vain, much like a patient who had been weak for a long time. But in her impression, Qu Lianbing is obviously very healthy. Even if you are seriously ill, it is impossible to have such a quick attack.

If it's not a condition, it's most likely poisoning. Thinking like this, Nalan Jinxiu asked, "Mother is very sick, have you ever doubted it?"

Qu Lianbing shook his head: "The diet is very careful, if you want to poison the princess's mansion, it is almost impossible." ”
