Mu Li thought that the county lord who came back from Jinling turned out to be in poor health. No wonder the prince and the prince are so nervous about her, and they want him to be her bodyguard, and they want to guard her safety every step of the way.

Nalan Jinxiu only knew that she had lost some weight, but she didn't know that she had been tired of traveling and traveling recently, and she didn't think about tea and dinner, which made her look like a sick seedling, which led to misunderstanding. I only felt that Mu Li, who had an indifferent expression, looked at her now, and was quite sympathetic. This made her feel very uncomfortable, because in the previous life, after the decline of her family, there were always many people who looked at her with this kind of eyes.

"You go back first, I'm going back too. After Nalan Jinxiu finished speaking, he walked to the Star Picking Tower.

Mu Li looked at her back and felt inexplicable. Shizi said that if he was to be the county lord's guard, he would have to follow her every step of the way, and even if she slept, he had to stay outside the house. Actually, he didn't want to come. He is not an ordinary soldier, but a secret guard personally trained by the prince, with a total of forty-nine people, selected from the Xuanjia Army, named Jingyun.

Anyone in the clouds can be one enemy and one hundred, as the saying goes, one man is the key, and ten thousand people are invincible. From the time they officially became a member of the Astounding Clouds, they were endowed with a belief that was higher than freedom and life, and that was to protect the Astounding Clouds.

What exactly is the Shocking Cloud Order, no one knows except the prince himself. But each of them knew that what the Amazing Cloud Order controlled was the last barrier to protect the northern frontier, and it was very important.

For people like them, who grew up in the army, guarding the territory and protecting the lives of the people in northern Xinjiang is the most important thing. It's much more important than protecting a little girl. But if this little girl is the daughter of the prince, then they are also duty-bound.

Nalan Jinxiu walked all the way back to the Star Picking Tower, only to find that he was followed by a person. She was startled, and said a little unceremoniously, "What are you doing behind me?" ”

Mu Li felt that I was your guard, and I would follow you every step of the way, so I didn't need to explain this kind of thing to her. He stood at the door with a long sword in his arms, with a cold face and a look of resoluteness not to talk to you.

Nalan Jinxiu saw that he made it clear that he didn't talk to him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, thinking that he liked to blow the wind outside the door, so he let him blow it. Thinking so, she is still a kind person in the end. Because of the change of place, she didn't fall asleep until midnight, and she was tired when she thought of auspicious Ruyi, so she didn't quarrel with them, and put on her robe to write.

In the past, she used to write a notebook describing the third brother, but now she didn't bring any of them. Her heart suddenly felt sore, she blinked her eyes, took a thousand gold prescriptions and came out to copy. As soon as he wrote a few words, he thought that Mu Li would not still be outside the door! Pushing open the door to make sure, he saw that he was really standing there, the same posture as before, as if he hadn't moved.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" she asked him.

Mu Li opened his eyes, looked ahead, and replied coldly: "I was sleeping just now." ”

"You can fall asleep while you're standing?"

He hummed lightly, and Nalan Jinxiu was about to express his opinion, when he heard him say again: "Sometimes you can fall asleep while walking." ”

Nalan Jinxiu was choked in her throat just as she was about to say something, and she smiled wryly: "It's cold and cold at night, you better go back to sleep." ”

"I am your bodyguard, and it is my duty. ”

"Go back and rest, I won't sue my brother against you. ”

Mu Li finally glanced at her, as if she had said something rebellious. His body remained still, poking at the doorway like a wooden stake.

Nalan Jinxiu was embarrassed and muttered: "What is it called Mu Li, it is better to call it wood directly." ”

She spoke in a very small voice, but Mu Li could still hear it clearly. He looked down at her, and her long black hair was scattered, half-covering the sides of her face, making her cheeks even smaller, and her eyes even bigger, black and beautiful.

The robe she wore over her body was a little larger, and her whole body was even thinner. It is windy in northern Xinjiang, especially at night, and she looks like a strong wind can blow it away.

Mu Li frowned: "County Lord, go in." ”

Nalan Jinxiu saw that he was thinly dressed, and felt that it was a bit contrary to human ethics to let a person stay outside the door all night, and she had always disapproved of it. Even when she was a child, when she had a maidservant to keep vigil for her, she had to sleep on the couch.

"Since you don't go back to sleep, and I can't sleep, why don't you come in and polish my ink. ”

How could the guards enter the county lord's bedroom? Mu Li glanced at her coldly, speechless. Nalan Jinxiu was angry by his glance, she was kind-hearted, and where did he think of it? And she took him to the study, did he react so much. You're a stinky and hard-tempered person, could it be that I can't really do anything about you?

"You ......" she said a word, and organized the language for a long time before she said: "You have offended me, and I will punish you now...... Sharpen my ink!"

Mu Li was silent, is there any difference between this and asking him to polish the ink for her just now? Okay! The process is a little different, but the result is the same.

"Why, you don't want to?" her voice was soft, and even when she spoke in a proud and coercive tone, she still sounded very delicate.

Mu Li thought that she was eccentric, if he didn't agree, he would probably think of other ways to rectify him. I could only nod and resigned myself to the study with her to polish the ink.

Nalan Jinxiu couldn't write anymore after writing for a while. In fact, she has always liked to write, otherwise she would not still write so badly in two lives. Now that she can write like this, it all depends on the supervision of the third brother, and she likes him in her heart, and she will not easily get tired of the calligraphy he wrote, and she will redouble her heart.

"Wood, the lord of this county is tired, you can write for a while. ”

Mu Li was stunned, I really didn't understand when she changed his name, but it didn't sound so annoying. He replied coldly: "Back to the county lord, my subordinates can't write." ”

His attitude looked respectful, but his voice was cold, and I am afraid that the county lord is not more noble than others in his eyes. Nalan Jinxiu didn't care about humility, and he didn't think he was offended, so he asked casually: "You can't write, so do you know how to read?"

"Recognize. ”

"How much do you know?"

"A lot. "To be exact, he hasn't met a word he doesn't recognize.

"Then you follow what I just did and write a word. ”

Mu Li didn't speak, and when he took the pen she handed him, he saw her slender fingers. The climate in northern Xinjiang is harsh, and he has never seen a woman's hands like hers, the real hands are delicate, and the snow white is as delicate as mutton fat and white jade.

The county lord was born so transparently, he should be afraid of wind and cold. Mu Li thought in his heart that he would have to watch her closely in the future, so he didn't twist his face, held the pen, and wrote a Mu character like a ghost. I could barely tell what it was, but the ugliness was outrageous.

Nalan Jinxiu subconsciously made a movement to wipe his sweat, thinking that if the third brother came to teach Mu Li, he didn't know what his expression was when he saw this word. His reaction must have been very good, he was still angry when she wrote it like that, and he wasn't going to be angry if she said this.

Mu Li was speechless, how funny was his writing? Nalan Jinxiu saw that he was cramped, held back a smile, and said seriously: "You must pay attention when you write, both horizontally and vertically should be straightened, so that the words written will look good." ”

Mu Li looked at what she wrote, and felt that the pen was very smooth, giving people a feeling of flowing water. He told the truth: "The county lord writes well. ”

The words that Nalan Jinxiu had just learned had already dried up, she rubbed it lightly, and said in a low voice: "It should be that he taught it well, and in the past, my handwriting was also ugly." ”

"Who?"

Nalan Jinxiu shook his head: "No one, it's all in the past." ”

"You write well, I watch. Nalan Jinxiu sat on the sandalwood chair, like an overseer.

Mu Li had no choice but to continue writing, drawing stroke by stroke according to her guidance. He sits upright and straight, which is the instinct of a man born in the military, but the hand holding the pen is too strong. After only writing for a while, he was sweating profusely, and felt that writing was much more tiring than practicing martial arts.

"Poof. He heard her laugh, very close to him. He stiffened, looked up sharply, and saw the county lord standing beside him, leaning over to watch him write, Lingxiu's eyes were full of smiles.

Mu Li was too serious when he was writing just now, and he didn't even notice her coming. Seeing her smiling, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and his handwriting was really a little ugly. He thought that the county lord would laugh at him, but who knew that she said, "You are very talented in writing, and you have made rapid progress, and these words are much better than the first one." Practice hard!"

He watched her go out and was about to get up to follow, when he saw her wave her hand and motioned for him to sit down, "You can rest here tonight, and tomorrow I will ask my brother to arrange a place for you to live in the Star Picking Tower." ”

Since ancient times, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, the guards are to guard the master, and it is already very good to have their own residence, how can there be arrangements in front of the master?

"County Lord, no, you can't talk to the prince. ”

Nalan Jinxiu turned around: "Are you afraid that your brother will blame?"

"It's not. Mu Li lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I just don't want to be that special person, and the county lord doesn't have to set a precedent for his subordinates." ”

"It's not special, I don't have the habit of keeping vigils in the first place, let alone being outside the door. ”

"The county lord. ”

"Needless to say. ”

Mu Li knew that he couldn't stop her, so he stopped talking. Nalan Jinxiu said again: "If you don't want to be my guard, I won't force it." If you have any thoughts in your heart, just tell me, and I'll go and talk to my brother. ”

Mu Li looked at her back, stunned in place, and didn't move for a long time. It turned out that his slightest hesitation had already been seen through by her, and she was still up to him to choose. This openness is something that many men don't have, and he suddenly felt that it didn't seem bad to come here to be her guard.
