Nalan Jinxiu listened to Ji Hongxuan talk about things on the battlefield, and occasionally there were vague memories, so Ji Honghuan made up for it. Time passed quickly before she knew it, the moon had risen in mid-air, and the fire in the courtyard was about to go out, Ji Honghuan proposed to send her back, and the three of them went to the Star Picking Tower again.

As soon as they came out of Ji Hongxuan's courtyard, they saw Mu Li standing at the gate of the courtyard. I don't know when he came, but it looks like he's been standing for a long time anyway. He was still wearing a black power suit, his posture was straight in the night, and he was still holding the big piece that Xu Jince gave Nalan Jinxiu in his hand.

Nalan Jinxiu was stunned for a while, he didn't follow when she went out, she thought he must have received a military stick and went back. He had a cold face and looked angry, why did he care about her? She suddenly felt very unkind, as if she had done something wrong, and felt a little guilty.

Since her guards were here, there was no need for them to send her back. Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan stopped, said goodbye to Nalan Jinxiu, and planned to go back.

"County Lord, you forgot to give him back. ”

Nalan Jinxiu then remembered that he was still wearing Ji Hongxuan's big hat. Tomorrow they have to leave early in the morning, in case she can't come in time to deliver it, the weather in northern Xinjiang is so cold, and he is in the wilderness, how can it be good to have no big guys? She reached out to untie the strap on her collar, and then neatly took off the big hat and handed it to Ji Hongxuan.

The moment Da Yu left her body, a gust of cold wind penetrated, and she trembled, but there was already another big piece draped over her shoulders. She whispered to Mu Li, "Thank you." ”

The voice was really small and thin, because she was really embarrassed. Who knew that Mu Li didn't seem to hear it, it was his usual cold look, and he only stretched out his hand to her, signaling that she could go.

Ji Hongxuan looked at the backs of their master and servant, a little distracted. Why did he think that Mu Li was not a simple guard to Jin'er, and he should have an attitude towards his master? Could it be that he was too careful? Because he was worried in his heart, he always felt that others were also thinking about it. He had guarded against the fifth brother before, and he had also suspected the third brother, but now he even had a guard, did he have to be suspicious?

Ji Honghuan looked at Ji Hongxuan's expression and knew what he was thinking. The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. As an outsider, he sees this kind of thing most clearly.

The guards naturally respect and love their master, otherwise they would not have been able to stand silently outside the door for so long, and they could find that she was wearing other men's clothes at the first time, and put on a big coat for her. The master is mostly unintentional to the guards, but he does not rule out pity. Otherwise, she wouldn't listen to him so much, she was the master, and she didn't need a guard to do things by herself.

Such an obvious thing, but he, the smart brother of Bingxue, still can't see through it, or he doesn't want to believe it. The guards and the master are inseparable, if they are unintentional, it is fine, if they have a heart, they will get the moon first near the water, and I am afraid that no one can hinder them.

Although the status of the guards is low, it is absolutely impossible to match the county lord. But since the beginning of the dynasty, there are not a few princesses and county lords who have raised faces in private. Ning Lu does not explicitly stipulate whether it is okay to raise a noodle head, but since a man can have a group of wives and concubines, it is not unacceptable for a woman to raise a few noodle heads.

Xu Jinsheng has a pure nature, and he is young, so he should be very cautious about emotional matters. And he thinks that Xu Jinsheng is a person who attaches great importance to affection. If so, she really likes Mu Li, so she naturally refuses to let him be the first face, but she probably won't kiss him. This looks good, although there is no name of husband and wife, but there is the reality of husband and wife.

The more Ji Honghuan thought about it, the more he felt that something might happen to Mu Li and Xu Jinsheng. After all, this guard is so good-looking, and his skills are first-class. Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, not to mention a hero who cares for herself and saves herself from fire and water. Everything is possible. He looked at his brother, who was still standing there stupidly, and finally didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, signaling that it was time for him to go back and rest.

Ji Hongxuan's thoughts were a little confused, and when he was lying on the bed, his mind was full of Mu Li's fall on him, and he didn't feel anything. Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and he hasn't been careful enough to hold grudges so much. But looking back on it now, I feel that nothing is right.

He tossed and turned for a moment, and found the guard an eyesore. Thinking that when he returned to the barracks, he must tell his brother that Mu Li could not continue to stay with Jin'er. In any case, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he would never take any chances.

Nalan Jinxiu walked in front, and Mu Li was still one step behind her as usual, walking slowly with her footsteps. Nalan Jinxiu wanted to ask him how he was hurt, but he was embarrassed to speak for the sake of face.

The main thing is Mu Li's current attitude, you say that he is different from usual, but he usually looks like he doesn't make a sound when he is killed. But if you say that he is the same as usual, it is not the same, for example, he would not have done this to her as usual.

Although Mu Li was taught to obey orders, he did not lose his attitude. Just like he usually treats her, the county lord, it seems that he is respectful enough, so that people can't find a trace of fault. But her attitude is always neither humble nor arrogant, as if she, the county lord, is not much nobler than ordinary people.

He felt that they were like friends, and when they could treat each other with sincerity, he would take care of her more. And when he felt that there was a difference between them and their inferiority, he would have special respect for her and be very estranged. He's really hard to understand, it's just a contradiction.

The more Nalan Jinxiu thought about it, the more she felt that her head was big, and she really didn't want to continue thinking about it, so she quickened her steps. From the barracks where Ji Hongxuan and their temporary residence lived to the Star Picking Tower, there was a long way. Because in the early stage of construction, the king of Zhenbei considered that he could not disturb the backyard, so he built it farther.

She walked quickly, and Mu left in a hurry, and she didn't bring a lantern at all. The dark road, although because the people around him were not afraid, Nalan Jinxiu accidentally broke his foot. She secretly shouted that she was unlucky, she could really encounter anything, and such an adult could still walk with her feet.

If Mu Li didn't care about her, would it be difficult for her to limp back like this? Even if she could endure the pain, it would take about the middle of the night to walk back! She was annoyed to death, and reached out to press her ankle, which felt that it should not be serious, but she still wanted to see how the specific injury was.

"Don't move. Mu Li said lightly.

Nalan Jinxiu actually listened to his words, and his body, which was already half-leaning down, slowly straightened up again. When I moved like this, my ankle really hurt. Mu Li leaned over, gently pressed her ankle with his fingers, and looked up to ask her if it hurt?

"It hurts a little, but it's not too serious. "She doesn't twist either, because most people who practice martial arts will be boneless, yes, these injuries should also have a lot of experience.

Mu Li straightened up, looked at her, and said slowly: "The subordinates will go back on their backs." ”

Nalan Jinxiu shook his head and refused: "Don't do it, you ...... Don't you have a wound on your back? I'll wait for you here, you go back and call the car. ”

Mu Li felt that it was right, he had just taken two steps, and he couldn't help but stop and look back at her. The little girl stood there alone, surrounded by darkness, and that look...... Why does it look so pathetic?

He strode back, paused in front of her, and made his voice as soft as possible: "It's better for your subordinates to carry the county lord back." ”

"No, you go get a car. ”

Mu Li endured it, but in the end he couldn't hold back: "It's already so dark, how can my subordinates leave the county lord alone?"

Nalan Jinxiu has naturally seen his stubbornness, the kind of temperament that says nothing about what he believes in, no matter how he looks at it, he is more resolute than her master. She had just punished him in the afternoon, and she was feeling guilty at this moment, and she didn't want to disobey him again. I had to say, "Then you can come and help me, so that you can go faster." ”

Mu Li was still very persistent, leaning down with his back to her. Considering that her foot was injured and that he was tall, he had to get down on one knee so that she could easily lie on his back without any effort.

Somehow, Nalan Jinxiu's nose was sour, and the guilt in her heart was even worse for him. In order to go back early, I couldn't bear to refute his intentions, so I lay on his back. Two thin arms, gently wrapped around his neck.

Mu Li smelled the familiar green bamboo fragrance again, wrapped in a faint bitterness, that was because she always served medicinal herbs. The taste of this traditional Chinese medicine is faint, and it is surprisingly soft when wrapped in the aroma of green bamboo. Because his back was beaten with ten military sticks, it was actually very painful to carry people on his back like this. He held the little girl on his back steadily, and felt how good it would be if there was no end to this road.

"I'm sorry. She whispered from his back.

Such a small voice, if it weren't for the proximity of the two, Mu Li's ears would be no matter how clever they were, I am afraid that they would not be able to hear it. But now that he heard her say this, his heart warmed.

When he went to receive the punishment in the afternoon, the person in charge of the punishment was still a little hesitant. The Zhenbei Wangfu rarely punishes people, and the county lord is a well-known calf protector, and she is reluctant to discipline her own people, so she does not allow others to touch them.

Mu Li's attitude was very resolute, he must get the ten military sticks, and even the people from the torture hall wanted to ask the county lord in person, but he also refused. First, because the county lord is his master, Chrysostom Yuyan, she said that she would be punished, and he could not dodge; second, he himself was indeed at fault, knowing that the man and the county lord were cousins, and he was also half his master, so he should not have done it, or even could not fight back.
