Gu Chenjing stayed in Xichu for 6 days before he received an urgent call from his father, ordering him to return to China as soon as possible.

At that time, he was having lunch with Mu Qianxia, and when he heard the news from his subordinates, his face did not change, and he continued to eat unhurriedly, as if he had not heard the news.

Mu Qianxia has always been very discerning, and if others don't say it, she won't ask. Since Gu Chenjing is not in a hurry, what is there for her to be anxious about.

So, Mu Qianxia still used her lunch slowly and methodically, and her movements were as elegant and noble as ever.

Gu Chenjing's eyes slid with a touch of appreciation, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, there is no strong curiosity, but she has the means and ability, such a woman is really rare. And after a few days of contact and understanding, his attitude towards Mu Qianxia has changed from curiosity at the beginning to his current appreciation, from the beginning of his purpose to enhance his power through marriage to now marrying only for her as a person, from the beginning of playfulness to the current seriousness, Mu Qianxia has refreshed his understanding and understanding of women step by step, and she has aroused his desire to conquer.

No matter what, this woman, he Gu Chenjing is going to decide.

After Gu Chenjing had lunch, he looked at Mu Qianxia apologetically, hooked his lips slightly, and smiled lightly, "Qianxia, I'm really sorry, the emperor's order cannot be violated, my father urgently summoned Jing back to China, Jing had to go back, originally Jing planned to stay for more time and accompany Qianxia well, but now it seems that I can only wait for next time." When Jing returns to China this time, he will definitely present his thoughts to his father, so that his father can decide the marriage as soon as possible for Jing. After all, someone as good as Qianxia must be quite sought-after, Jing must be one step ahead of them, and I hope that Qianxia will not blame Jing for being abrupt. ”

Mu Qianxia smiled slightly, "Chenjing is too famous." Who would like someone like Asatsu? Qianxia will wish Chenjing a smooth journey here, and I will wait for news of Chenjing in this capital. "Since you have to marry him sooner or later, what's the difference between an earlier and a later one?

"Hahahaha, okay. Jing will not disappoint Asanatsu. ”

…………

Because of the suddenness of this incident, Gu Chenjing left a letter in the afternoon of the same day.

Mu Chenyi also received the news after Gu Chenjing left. His eyebrows frowned slightly, what happened, the Emperor of Eastern Qin would urgently summon Gu Chenjing to return to China at this time? The eyeliner he planted in Dongqin had not received any news before.

…………

An octagonal pavilion ten miles away from the capital.

"The eldest prince of Qiqi, it seems that His Royal Highness the Third Prince in the octagonal pavilion in front of you, do you need your subordinates to park in front?" The coachman asked respectfully.

"Stop. Since the third brother wants to send it in person, how can this king, as the royal brother, not appreciate his face?" Gu Chenjing chuckled in the car.

"Yes."

The carriage came to a slow stop as it drove in front of the Octagonal Pavilion.

Gu Chenjing lifted the curtain and paced down.

"Brother Huang." Gu Li saw Gu Chenjing walking towards him, and slowly spoke, but he did not salute, his expression was indifferent, and he did not see joy or anger.

Gu Chenjing didn't seem to mind Gu Li's attitude, raised his eyebrows, the corners of his good-looking eyes turned up slightly, and smiled, "I can get the third brother to send it personally, and this king is flattered." If you look closely, you can see that the smile has not reached the bottom of the eye.

"I want to let the imperial brother bring a word to my father for Li, and the matter here will be dealt with soon, at least three months, at most half a year, and I will return to China, so I don't need my father to send someone over. The ability to leave, presumably my father also knows. ”

"Listening to the meaning of the third brother, is it because the king has come here to make such a move, hindering the third brother's plan?" Gu Chenjing said in a deep voice.

"Leave, there is no such intention." Gu Li replied lightly.

What Gu Chenjing hates the most is Gu Li's indifferent and uplifted attitude, he obviously cares about everything, but he has to pretend that he doesn't care, but what his father likes most is his hypocritical appearance, as if he can disdain the whole world in front of him.

Gu Chenjing was angered by Gu Li's attitude, and asked angrily: "Was it your work that this king was urgently recalled to China by his father this time?"

Gu Li didn't seem to feel Gu Chenjing's anger at the moment, and said lightly: "Isn't there already an answer in the heart of the imperial brother?" Why bother to ask about leaving?"

"You," Gu Chen said angrily, "This account has been written down by this king." With that, he turned and left.

But in front of the carriage, Gu Chenjing stopped suddenly, "By the way, I haven't told you yet, Mu Qianxia has already agreed to the king's proposal, and on the day we get married, I hope that the third brother can come with a face." ”

After the words fell, Gu Chenjing boarded the carriage in a good mood and left.

Even before leaving, Gu Chenjing did not forget to block Gu Li.

Gu Li looked at the direction Gu Chenjing left, for a long time, and spoke softly, as if he was talking to himself, "Really?" ”

…………

Gu Li met Mu Qianxia who came out shopping on the way home.

"Gu Li! Why are you here?" Mu Qianxia exclaimed.

Gu Li smiled slightly, "I just went out to meet a friend." ”

Gu Li didn't say who it was, and Mu Qianxia didn't ask, but just nodded clearly.

"Princess, I heard that you have agreed to the proposal of the Great Prince of Eastern Qin?"

Mu Qianxia frowned, "You know?" It seems that Gu Li's news network is more powerful than she imagined.

Seeing Mu Qianxia's reaction, Gu Li knew that Gu Chenjing didn't lie to him, his heart sank slightly, and he said quietly: "Gu Mou will wish the princess a good marriage for a hundred years in advance."

Mu Qianxia nodded absently, "Thank you." ”

"Does the princess like the Great Prince of Eastern Qin now?"

Mu Qianxia pondered for a moment, "General, I don't like it but I don't hate it, if I live a life with him like a guest, I don't reject it." ”

Gu Li laughed at himself, but didn't say anything more.

At this moment, a group of assassins suddenly surged around, besieging them in the middle, pointing directly at Mu Qianxia.

Mu Qianxia came out to go shopping this time, so there were not many people with him, and Gu Li's injuries were not yet healed, and the situation that the enemy was strong and I was weak was quite obvious. Even if Gu Li had already sent out a distress signal at the first time, it would take a while for the guards in her mansion to come over, and during this time, they would need to hold on.

The two sides were soon at war, but the other side had a fairly objective advantage in numbers. Although the secret guards sent by the imperial brother to protect her also joined the war, the heroes were invincible, and there were still many assassins who broke through their defenses and killed Mu Qianxia.

Gu Li quietly protected Mu Qianxia behind him, blocking the assassins who came over one by one. However, the Assassin's injuries were not yet healed, so the fight was a bit difficult. If it had been put in the past, he could have disposed of these people in minutes, but now ......

It's really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs.

If he can't do it, he doesn't want to force his internal force.

Suddenly, a sound piercing the air came, Mu Qianxia looked back, and a cold arrow shot from Gu Li's back, aiming directly at Gu Li's heart. Mu Qianxia's face changed, and she rushed over without thinking about it and blocked behind Gu Li.

In the next second, a sharp pain suddenly hit the left shoulder!

"Thorn—"

The sound of arrows entering flesh.

Mu Qianxia's whole body shook, and the cold arrow shot straight into her left shoulder.

Immediately after that, the whole person fell into a warm embrace, hitting her nose a little sore, Gu Li hugged her body tightly, and swung his sword with his right hand to block all the assassins around her.

The person in the dark was about to shoot another arrow, but found that the guards of the princess's mansion had arrived, and he secretly felt sorry, after all, Gu Li's serious injury was not an opportunity at any time. inevitably revealed his identity, and quietly left.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the assassination could not be achieved, and after two false moves, the Assassins quickly retreated.

Including Shuo Feng, all the guards of the princess's mansion present had solemn faces, standing in place and not knowing what to do.

"Mu Qianxia!" Gu Li stared at the woman in his arms fiercely, gritting his teeth, but faintly with a hoarse and trembling voice.

This is the first time Gu Li has called her name, so he must be angry. Mu Qianxia's eyebrows furrowed, and it took a long time to try to relax his facial expression distorted by pain, and slowly spoke, soothing: "Gu Li, I'm fine."

Gu Li glared at her fiercely, his left hand clenched into a fist, the green tendons were exposed, and he squeezed out word by word, "Fool, madman!" ”

Mu Qianxia curled her lips, although it looked more like a forced smile at the moment, "I'm not dead, what are you looking at me like this?" ”

The pain made her already weak voice twist and tremble.

Gu Li's breathing became heavier and heavier, "Mu Qianxia, you are simply looking for death!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's all my own doing, it's none of your business."

Mu Qianxia's face turned pale, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "But I really can't walk...... Liuli isn't here now, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take me back. ”

Gu Li's Adam's apple kept rolling up and down, his eyes clutching her eyes, but he opened his mouth but didn't make any sound.

At this moment, there are no words to express his feelings...... Regret, chagrin, distress, regret, and even a certain gnashing of teeth.

Mu Qianxia looked at Gu Li's handsome face as gloomy as water, her black eyes were smeared with ever-changing complexity, she endured the pain and tugged at his sleeve weakly, "Let's go back to see the imperial doctor quickly, okay?" ”

Gu Li suddenly picked her up from the ground and strode forward.

Mu Qianxia looked at Gu Li's gloomy face, shrank into his arms, and called softly: "Gu Li, don't be angry, I was injured in the shoulder, I can't die, don't worry."

Gu Li, "......"

"Gu Li, you have something to say, don't ignore me." Mu Qianxia said with some grievances. Obviously, the injury on her body was suffered because of him, he was fine, and he looked angry, she said so many words to him, he ignored her once, obviously to ignore her existence. She provoked someone, the wounds on her body were still painful, and now she had to endure Gu Li's cold violence, why was she so miserable!

"The princess was almost killed by an arrow just now because of Gu, Gu is really guilty, and now she is self-reflecting, and she doesn't dare to talk to the princess at will." Gu Li said sneeringly.

Mu Qianxia smiled awkwardly, if she couldn't hear Gu Li's sarcasm, then she was really stupid.

Mu Qianxia blinked, and suddenly "ouch", "It hurts......"
