Mei Xiaoren pursed her lower lip, and she could feel the sharp tip of the knife slicing on her back, each time it hooked up a real pain.

She shuddered violently when the arrow was pried out by the dagger, but her lips were pursed tightly, and she never snorted the whole time.

The old woman came in with water, and couldn't help but sigh: "Madame is so brave, how can she withstand the blow of pulling out an arrow if she were another woman." ”

Mei Xiaoren turned her head to look at Gu Chuyu, as if she was surprised by what the old woman called her.

Gu Chuyu saw that her pale and weak face was beaded with sweat, and there was a deep tooth mark around her lower lip, knowing how painful it was for her just now, which was a girl's family that could afford to be tortured.

He pressed the muslin cloth with one hand to help her stop the bleeding, and with the other hand stroked the hair on the top of her head, and gently advised: "It's okay, rest well, and I'll take you home in a few days." ”

Mei Xiaoren nodded.

The old woman put down the basin and walked to the bed, "I'll bandage Madame." ”

"There is labor."

Gu Chuyu got up and went over to wash his hands, the blood on his hands stained the clear water into a basin of bright red.

The old woman scrubbed Mei Xiaoren's wide clothes, and found clean clothes for her to change, so that she could restore her appearance as a woman.

In the afternoon, Gu Chuyu came in from outside with a clear porridge, and saw her lying on her side on the bed with her eyes closed to recuperate, and the green silk was scattered behind her, like thick ink spread out, pleasing to the eye, and the thin face was not powdered, and there was a pure beauty.

Mei Xiaoren heard the movement, opened his eyes, folded his hands under his cheeks, and asked curiously, "How did you recognize me?" ”

Gu Chuyu sat on the edge of the bed, took a small spoon to adjust the porridge in the bowl, and replied lightly: "You are very smart, but the blue may not be better than the blue." ”

"Am I so easy to see?"

"It's your pulse." Gu Chuyu told the truth and said, "But why does King Yu know, you have to ask him." ”

"Ei also knows?" Mei Xiaoren was shocked.

"Xiao Xiao, what should I say to you?" Gu Chuyu had a smile in his eyes, scooped a spoonful of porridge and handed it to her mouth.

"Silly ......" Mei Xiaoren replied to himself, raised his hand to cover the upper half of his face, and opened his mouth to drink porridge.

Mei Xiaoren remembered that when she was dying before, he called "Miss Xiao", put down his hand to look at him and asked, "Then you also know who I am?" ”

Gu Chuyu said bluntly: "A woman who has only seen two sides and said that she fell in love with me." ”

Mei Xiaoren silently buried his face in the pillow......

At night, there was only one room and one bed here, she was thin, she occupied less than the whole bed, and it was unusually cold in the mountains, so she decided to "take in" the prime minister.

When he lay down, her heart beat fast for a moment.

In order not to wronged the Prime Minister, Mei Xiaoren moved inside again, wanting to make a spacious place for him, but he stretched out his hand and encircled it in his arms.

"Don't move, watch out for your injuries." Gu Chuyu said lightly.

She asked in a low voice, "Has the battle been won, is it safe here?" ”

"Because of your idea, the defeat of the Xia Kingdom is a foregone conclusion, and it is only a matter of time before they surrender the book."

His arms were very warm, Mei Xiaoren was close to his shirt, as if he could hear his steady heartbeat, and said: "Compared with Mrs. Wei's hard work, what I have done is nothing." ”

"Where did you get the news?"

"The Flowing Fire Gang, Chu Zifeng, they are the hands of Xia Guo in Daning, and those spies are the gangs of the Flowing Fire Gang." Mei Xiaoren raised his head slightly, looking at the face close at hand, "Chu Zifeng is the fourth master of the Flowing Fire Gang, but he is just a puppet. ”

"He's still alive?"

Mei Xiaoren still had a lot of questions in his heart, so he asked: "Why did you let Liuyue chase him in the first place, and why did you obviously not promote the captain in Qiushui County, why did you say that you promoted him and let others misunderstand?" ”

"I'll tell you about Chu Zifeng later, as for that captain, aren't you happy that you know now that he was not promoted but imprisoned?"

Mei Xiaoren glanced at him, "Is there a person like you who is angry with others and pretends to be a blocker!" After a while, she gradually smiled, "But happy is happy." ”

"If I told you that it was my order to let you rise from Qiushui County to Xuanzhou Mansion, would you be happier?"

Mei Xiaoren was stunned for a moment, she was distressed that she was sued by Jiang Rong and could not be promoted, but suddenly she was transferred......

"If I tell you again that Ji Heng's recommendation of you to enter Beijing was planned by me behind the scenes, so that he could come to fruition, would you be very happy?"

Mei Xiaoren was dumbfounded.

"Also, Zhou Xun is safe and sound now, I didn't treat him well." Gu Chuyu curled his fingers and gently scratched the tip of her nose, "I know you have always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask." ”

Mei Xiaoren was stunned for a long time, and then reached out to grab the back of his head. Gu Chuyu lowered her head very cooperatively, touched the tip of her nose, and her lips were almost together.

The corners of his mouth lifted, his lips opened, and he asked in a voice that was very tempting to her: "How are you going to return these favors?" ”

"Do you want to make a promise?" Mei Xiaoren replied simply, looked into his eyes, and said seriously, "But I have to tell you, I have neither a family background nor a scholarly background, and I have read few books, and I don't have the talent like Miss Ji......

Before she could finish speaking, he kissed her on the lips and swallowed the sound, and when she stopped talking, he let go of her and hugged her to sleep.

Mei Xiaoren feels that the happiest thing in her life is to open her eyes every day, and the person she wants is right in front of her.

After a few days, she was able to get out of bed and walk around, and specially went with Chu Yu to visit the two old people who took her in.

The two old men, both in their prime, hunted for a living in the mountains, where there were no tyrants' minions and no killings, and they had been in this position for decades.

Mei Xiaoren and Gu Chuyu sat at the table with the owner and his wife, and there were a few simple side dishes on the table, although they were far less than the delicacies of the mountains and seas they usually ate, but they were already the best delicacies that the owner could get.

She and Chu Yu came to say goodbye, after all, this is still an enemy country, Chu Yu's status is precious, if she doesn't return to Daning for a day, there will be many people who can't feel at ease.

Before they could move their chopsticks, there was a "bang", and the two firewood doors were slammed open, and more than a dozen Xia soldiers rushed into the house, holding spears and pointing directly at them at the table.

The old couple was terrified. Mei Xiaoren was panicking, and the hand on his lap was suddenly held. She turned her eyes to look at Chu Yu, who was also looking at her, and said to her, "It's okay." ”

The soldier at the door shouted outside: "Princess, here they are!" ”

After a while, the princess of Xia Kingdom appeared in front of the door, her face was fierce, but she turned angry and shocked when she saw the two of them.

The princess of Xia Kingdom looked at Gu Chuyu for a long time, as if she was admiring a beautiful object, and then sighed happily: "Tut-tut, it is really your Ningguo's landscape cultivator, and there is such an otherworldly man." ”

Mei Xiaoren frowned and whispered, "She seems to have taken a fancy to you." ”

Gu Chuyu was silent and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist.
