Chapter 276: Compassion
Gu Ningyue hadn't noticed Mu Xuan originally, in her eyes, Mu Xuan was just one of Lu Qingzi's many guards.
He has his mission, whether it is protection or surveillance, Gu Ningyue does not take him to heart.
It was only when he protected her and stood in front of her that Gu Ningyue began to look at this man.
He may be a little more vicious, but it is undeniable that he is far kinder than himself.
That day, they gathered around the fire, Gu Ningyue fell asleep in light clothes, and when she woke up again, she already had an extra coat on her body.
It was Mu Xuan's clothes, and she saw Mu Xuan lying a little far away from her with the long knife on his pillow, and fell asleep with his arms crossed.
On the way to Qingfeng City, Mu Xuan also took extra care of Gu Ningyue's injuries.
even gave her the illusion that he cared for herself like this, not because of his duty.
It's just that this illusion is just a flash, what really makes Gu Ningyue care a little about Mu Xuan is the moment when she hurts her ankle.
She became a burden, and she couldn't take a single step.
Those people were in hot pursuit, and she still remembered that she said to Mu Xuan, "You go first!" I have a way to get out. ”
She still has more than a dozen poisonous needles in her hands, and these people in front of her can't move their feet now, so they should be able to solve them.
It's just that Mu Xuan said to her very firmly: "No, leave your daughter and get out by yourself, that is, there is no task to be done, how can this be done by a man?" ”
Mu Xuan was injured because of her, and it was the first time he had seen him injured along the way.
This is also the first time Gu Ningyue has felt compassion, and she used her medical skills to save a person who should not have been looked at by her.
Compared with Jiang Mingxuan's pretended gentleness, Mu Xuan's masculinity made her look at it a few times.
Mu Xuan hid behind her back for a day before going to the Tongfu Inn, but he didn't expect that because of the matter of the daughter of the prefect of Qingfeng City, it would become like this.
However, Gu Ningyue also understood that she and Mu Xuan were two kinds of people.
Lu Qingzi listened to what Gu Ningyue said, and only after a while did she look at her and said, "When you arrive in the capital, you probably won't see each other again, if you are not happy, just make it clear to him now." ”
Gu Ningyue raised her eyes and looked at her and asked, "Say what?" ”
Lu Qingzi paused for a moment, then shook his head, "It's nothing, I said the wrong thing." ”
She saw some of her own shadows on Gu Ningyue, how could she not be like this to Wen Ye at that time?
Perhaps, if I said what I wanted to say earlier, many things in the future would not be what they are today.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingzi couldn't help but sigh faintly in his heart.
Now that she has found Gu Ningyue, as long as she arrives in the capital safely, she can start to detoxify Wen Ye and see a doctor.
Lu Qingzi thought of this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
As long as Wen Ye can get better, everything that happened before, and all the suffering he has suffered now, Lu Qingzi can forget.
That night, the city lord's mansion of Qingfeng City.
Mei Yufeng looked at the two guards who came to report back, they were injured and their clothes were dirty, and they were standing in front of him at the moment.
"How?" Mei Yufeng's brows furrowed, and he looked at the two of them very unhappily and said, "What kind of system!" ”
The two guards glanced at each other, and one of them whispered: "City Lord, we went to chase a carriage as usual during the day today, who knew that the two men in the carriage were both good at kung fu, and the five people under him went, and they all fell in a few moves, and they ......."
Seeing that the guard wanted to speak and stopped, Mei Yufeng couldn't help but say angrily: "And what? It's also a mouthful! ”
"The lord of the city is angry." Seeing that the city was angry, the guard hurriedly said: "A woman got down from the carriage, holding the token of Princess Rui, saying that she came out to do things for the Rui Palace. ”
When Mei Yufeng heard this, he got up from his chair, looked at the guard and said, "Can you see clearly?" Is it really Princess Rui's token? ”
The guard nodded and said bluntly: "Yes, the subordinates have seen it clearly, and there are indeed three words written on it, Princess Rui." ”
"What did she ask?" Mei Yufeng looked at the guard who had just spoken and asked, since he had already shown his waist card, even if his people wanted to come back at that time, they must not be able to.
I must have asked them something, and I knocked them out and left.
The woman asked whose idea it was to sign at the gate of the city, and why the prefect's youngest daughter was with a few flower shooters.
The guard looked very cautious when he said these two words.
Mei Yufeng stared at him and returned: "How did you answer?" ”
The guard heard Mei Yufeng's meaning, and immediately replied: "The subordinates dare not betray the city lord, and they have already determined that everything is the prefect's doing, the city lord can rest assured!" ”
Mei Yufeng nodded, "That's right, follow this city lord, this city lord will naturally not treat you badly." ”
After saying that, Mei Yufeng looked at the guard in front of him and said, "You guys go down first!" Starting tomorrow, keep an eye on every move in the city. ”
The two guards were pardoned, "Yes! The subordinates retired. ”
The two of them walked to the door, but Mei Yufeng suddenly stopped them and asked, "How many children have been sold, but they all went well?" ”
"Don't worry, the city lord, the silver has been handed over to the account office yesterday."
Mei Yufeng nodded, "Go ahead!" ”
When they came out of the study, Mei Yufeng couldn't help frowning again, if what he did was known to His Majesty today, he would definitely be furious.
It's just that there was a fire in the capital, and Princess Rui died, why did King Rui send someone here?
Or asked someone to take the token of the dead Princess Rui to Qingfeng City, and no news came out.
This matter is really a bit strange, the city lord of Ning City has changed two in a row, although the current city lord is still safe and sound, but just thinking about the news that came to him, he felt that this series of events was very strange.
It seems that in Ningcheng, there has also been such a mysterious woman, and now, is it her turn to be in Qingfeng City?
Mei Yufeng glanced at the attendants who were watching with bated breath, and suddenly ordered him: "Send someone to the capital immediately, go to the Rui Wang's Mansion and ask if anyone has really been sent here." ”
The attendant answered, but confusion appeared on his face, "City Lord, if it's true, won't we be caught in the net?" ”
Mei Yufeng glanced at him, "If that's the case, isn't this city lord doing anything here, and King Rui won't tell His Majesty the truth?" ”
The guard did not dare to say anything more, but immediately bowed his hand and ordered the men to go at once and prepare to go to the capital quickly.
