312: The Lord and the Guards

"Jinge" has become famous in this area, and it has been half a month later. The so-called wine fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys, because Nalan Jinxiu's medical skills are good, so more and more people come to see a doctor day by day.

Mu Li is already handy at handling medicinal materials, and he is tall and a martial arts person, so it can be said that it is easy to do these jobs. Under her, he is idle, and he has time to clean up the medicinal herbs at his own disposal.

He didn't stop, just outside to watch Nalan Jinxiu, and he went over if he needed help. Ji Xiang and Ruyi thought he was weird at first, and the first impression was not good, and some rejected him. Later, I gradually found out that this person is really diligent, he can't even steal if he's lazy, and he doesn't mind personal gains and losses, he is very kind, so he is everywhere towards him.

There are always some things made for Nalan Jinxiu in the kitchen that were given to him by Ji Xiang Ruyi, and he thought that it was something she liked, so naturally he did not refuse. He also gradually discovered that her body is not very good now, and her breath is not as peaceful as before.

The two maids beside her let the kitchen stew soup for her to drink every day, and there were medicinal herbs in it. Although the medicinal diet nourishes people, she doesn't need to use it all the time, and she doesn't know what's wrong with her body.

He once asked her, and she only smiled and said, "It's a little lack of qi and blood, and I will raise it slowly." ”

He was originally very worried, but seeing that her life was fine, and her spirit was getting better day by day, he gradually relaxed. It's just that the number of people seeking treatment has increased, and he has begun to worry that she will be tired again. Therefore, every day he prepared the medicinal materials early and followed her all the time.

At noon on this day, Nalan Jinxiu was sleepy after eating lunch, and she went into the inner room to take a nap. Ji Xiang Ruyi went to the kitchen to help the cook peel beans, and the dinner master wanted to eat roasted eggplant with meat foam beans, and they had to prepare it in advance.

Mu Li saw that the two of them had gone out, and he was afraid that she would need someone when she woke up, so he stood guard at the door. He thought that if she woke up, he could call someone for her, so that no one would wait for her.

Nalan Jinxiu's nap time has never been long, and if you sleep for a long time, you will lose energy in the afternoon. She was a little thirsty and wanted water, but when she saw that Ji Xiang Ruyi was not there, she slowly got up and went out to find water by herself.

She walked out of the inner room, and around the screen, she saw Mu Li standing in the doorway, his posture straight, just like the person she remembered. The man would always follow her regardless of the weather, rain or snow, and even when he was sleeping, he would always stay in front of her door.

She found that she missed him a little, but unfortunately she probably never saw him in her life. Looking at his back, Nalan Jinxiu's eyes suddenly became sour, thinking about how he was doing now and whether the injuries on his body were completely healed.

Mu Li turned around when he heard footsteps behind him, and saw her standing not far from him, looking in a trance, as if she was distracted. She stood there with a sluggish expression, her body was thin and weak, and she looked a little pitiful, he felt uncomfortable for a while, and saluted her: "The owner is awake, I will call them back." ”

He never used to call himself a slave in front of her, and Nalan Jinxiu didn't care. She didn't have that kind of master habit, to be exact, she had it a long time ago, but she was sharpened clean by life.

"No need, I'm just a little thirsty, come out and get some water to drink. She went over to the table and sat down, where there was a warm cup of tea, and she poured it out and drank it slowly.

Mu Li was still standing outside the door, and when he saw that she didn't need help, he turned around and continued to stand guard. The days when he was her personal bodyguard were the most peaceful and happy times for him, and after leaving her, he often remembered that time. Now, it is enough for him to still be able to stay outside her door like this.

Nalan Jinxiu watched him lose his mind, and sat there for a long time unconsciously. When she came back to her senses, he was still standing there, and she couldn't help but ask, "Li Yang, what did you do before?"

Mu Li said: "Protect something that is more important than life. "To him, she was more important than his life.

Nalan Jinxiu thought sideways and asked, "Then are you a dart master?"

Mu Li wanted to say no, I was a guard for my county lord. He didn't dare, though. He was still a little afraid that she would be estranged from him, and she was still protecting him when he did such an excessive thing. Now, he didn't dare to face it.

He didn't answer, and Nalan Jinxiu took him as a default. She said slowly: "The dart master is not bad, you can go anywhere in the south and north of the world, and the escorted baby can also pass the eyes, it is a free and knowledgeable job." ”

Mu Li naturally knows what a dart master does, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a dart master. It's just that he has been guarding a treasure all along, which is the treasure of his heart.

Nalan Jinxiu smiled when she saw that he didn't answer, and she said, "I used to have a guard, and he was similar to you, he was so untalkative, like a wooden stake. ”

Mu Li didn't expect her to mention herself, her throat was so tight that she couldn't make a sound for a while.

She didn't seem to care whether he would answer or not, so she just said to herself: "He doesn't talk much, but people can be relied on, and he will try his best to protect me." ”

She said here and looked out the window, and her tone was calm and vicissitudes: "In this world, how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for you? Most people will calculate you for their own rights and interests." ”

Mu Li didn't know how she could have such an exclamation at her young age. He used to wonder that she often had a sense of loneliness that did not match her age, the vicissitudes of a thousand sails.

He didn't like her like this, his county lord, should be carefree. He was a stupid person, and when he was with her before, when he was teased by her, he was always inferior to her in terms of tongue. So he worded for a long time before squeezing out a comforting word: "Don't be afraid, he will always guard you." ”

Nalan Jinxiu looked back at him, smiled and shook his head: "He left, left, and said that I couldn't protect him." ”

"Even without him, there will be others. Mu Li thought that there were many guards in this courtyard, as well as Ye Bing, who was used to wearing a half-mask, and they were all trying their best to protect her.

She smiled again and said slowly: "They were ordered by the third brother to protect me, otherwise they wouldn't have come to kill them." ”

"Third brother?" he muttered.

When Nalan Jinxiu thought of her saying this, he shouldn't know who she was talking about, so he explained: "It's my husband." ”

The third brother is the husband! Mu Li finally determined that the third brother she once called when she was unconscious was really the person she liked in her heart and now married again. Also, if a good woman like her likes someone, that person should probably be overjoyed, how can she not like her?

Mu Li didn't speak again.

Nalan Jinxiu seemed to be bored, and she asked again, "Where are you from?"

Mu looked at her puzzled.

She repeated, "I mean, where is your hometown? Your voice is broken, so I can't hear your accent, but I don't think you're a native of Jinling." ”

"My hometown is called Lujin, which is the border between Northern Xinjiang and Northern Yan, but I haven't been back for many years. ”

"Lu Jin, I don't seem to have heard of it. ”

Mu Li smiled rarely: "It's a small place, it's not famous, and it's not surprising that the owner hasn't heard of it." ”

At this time, Jixiang and Ruyi entered the door, and the two girls smiled: "Master, when did you wake up? Why don't you call the slave?"

"I know you must have gone about your work. ”

"Hmm. Ruyi ran to Nalan Jinxiu's side, put a bowl of peeled grapes in front of her like a treasure, and said with a smile: "Chilled, it is very refreshing, I begged Aunt Wu for a long time to give such a small bowl." ”

Nalan Jinxiu raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "Hmm, is it difficult for Aunt Wu to keep this for herself?"

"She said that the third master instructed that you are not allowed to eat ice things, this is for the third master. ”

Nalan Jinxiu pursed her lips, quite unpleasant: "The third brother doesn't know if he will come, and he may not eat when he comes." The two of you will go to the kitchen in a while, one will lure Aunt Wu away, and the other will steal. ”

Ji Xiang Ruyi didn't look at her, obviously disagreeing, and her tone was even worse: "The slave maid asked you for this bowl because it was too hot, otherwise your body, of course, can't use this." ”

Nalan Jinxiu was a little annoying to them, they always thought of her recently, and she listened to her head getting bigger, so she simply didn't look at the two of them, and only scooped the grapes with a spoon to eat. After eating two sweet ice grapes, I felt comfortable all over. In a blink of an eye, seeing that Li Yang was still poking at the door, she asked Jixiang to bring a small bowl and gave him half of the ice grapes.

Mu Li was a little flattered, looked back at her, and saw that she was still wearing men's clothes, sitting in a very dignified posture, but she was a little anxious about eating. Seeing that he was holding the bowl and not moving, he urged: "You should eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it doesn't get cold after a while." ”

Mu Li actually didn't like sweet things, but seeing that she was so enthusiastic but couldn't bear to refuse, it was really difficult to be gracious, so she had to eat it reluctantly. Because he grew up in northern Xinjiang since he was a child, his physical fitness is excellent, so he is cold and not heat-resistant. Eating cold grapes is also very refreshing.

Nalan Jinxiu ate half a bowl of grapes and rinsed his mouth again. Seeing that the sun has gradually sunk, the courtyard is still so quiet, I think there should be no patients in the afternoon, so I plan to take auspicious Ruyi back, and I can go to the market on the way.

When the two girls heard this, they were naturally very happy, but their joy did not last long, because someone came to the medical hall. It was really unfortunate that the patients came at this time, but they did not dare to complain, because the master has always been the heart of the healer's parents.

The patients who came were a little abnormal, but they brought more than a dozen guards, their clothes were tattooed with patterns, which were extremely conspicuous, and they were all equipped with knives around their waists, which seemed to be bad for the visitors.

The guards in the Jin Pavilion also leaned over, and even Ye Bing appeared. He stood beside Nalan Jinxiu and said in a low voice, "Madam, don't go far by my side." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, looking at the clothes of those people, and a chill ran down her spine. She has been married to Zong Xuanyi for four years, and it is impossible not to know the marks on the clothes of his subordinates......
