Chapter 289: Do You Want to Go With You Too?
After Mu Jinchen's poisoning, his life hung by a thread, and General Qingping's Mansion was already targeted by King Yu at that time. In order to protect himself, General Qingping could only hand over the military talisman and be an idle courtier in the capital.
He was also envious in his heart, longing for Su Mingjin to be wanton and chic in the camp, happy and unrestrained. The two of them got together and talked even more headlessly.
"Yikes."
The two of them looked out of the house together, and Bai Ruo stood outside with a tray in his hand, at a loss.
How could there suddenly be a handsome man in the young lady's room.
Su Xiangsi followed Bai Ruo a few steps behind, and saw that his brother and Mu Jinchen seemed to be chatting ...... Pretty good. The table was full of scattered military books and scribbled papers.
"Go and help Nie Yong, it's good to have me here."
Before Bai Ruo could recover from the shock, the person had already unconsciously walked out of the house.
Su Xiangsi flattered and put the snack in front of Su Mingjin: "My brother didn't say anything when he came to my house, and I specially sent it to the study for you." β
Su Mingjin squinted at her: "If I didn't come, I didn't know that you were hiding such a big fright." You're getting bolder. β
One is her own brother, the other is her sweetheart, and she is not easy to offend on both sides. Mu Jinchen rushed back overnight, and she didn't know it, and it was difficult to drive people away in broad daylight, so why was it her to blame.
In Mu Jinchen's scorching gaze, he still sat honestly beside Su Mingjin.
Su Mingjin looked at the person opposite with a smug look.
Mu Jinchen's fiery eyes directly crossed him and looked at the person behind him.
Su Xiangsi quietly rolled her eyes, the two of them were really naΓ―ve.
Li Qinse was happy to learn that Mu Jinchen was going to stay for dinner, and he directly skipped Su Xiangsi and Su Mingjin with vegetables. This time, Mu Jinchen gave Su Mingjin a smug look.
"I heard about what happened in the capital during this time, and the capital is in turmoil, and I want to take Si'er out for a few days."
"Or you're thoughtful."
"No way!"
"I disagree!"
Three voices rang out at the same time.
Su Mingjin pulled her sister down to her side and looked at Mu Jinchen with a fierce eye: "Mother, my sister and Ah Chen haven't decided to marry yet." What is such a lonely man and a widow? β
"I know you like Dust, but you can't be so used to it. If it's not peaceful in the capital, is it safe outside? β
The smile on the corner of Su Xiangsi's mouth couldn't be suppressed, and he tacitly changed his eyes with Mu Jinchen.
"I protect Si'er and don't get hurt anymore."
Mu Jinchen looked at Li Qinse with great sincerity and firmness, and he would take her out today no matter what.
Su Mian tugged at his wife's sleeve, of course he was relieved to Mu Jinchen, but he didn't want him to marry his baby girl so easily.
Li Qinse glared at her husband and son slightly angrily, and saw her daughter's pitiful and expectant little eyes, how could she care about anything else.
"Since you went to Jiangnan, Acacia has been bored in the house all day long, reluctant to go out, just come back when you have had enough fun this time."
"Ma'am, this ......"
"What? You two want to go along, too? β
Su Mian and Su Mingjin lowered their heads silently, they didn't have the courage to say to follow.
Su Xiangsi affectionately grabbed her mother's arm: "It's still my mother who loves me the most." β
ββ
Jing Jiu had been in the ancient Burmese tribe for two whole days, although there was no restriction on his movement. Wherever he went, there were always people following him, and those in the shadows, their eyes always resting on him.
Although the tribe is not easy to find in the mountains, there are streets and shops. Every month, merchants go out of the mountains to Jiacheng at a fixed time to buy the things they need in large quantities and bring them back for sale, and the clansmen in the tribe are also at ease.
Two days were not completely fruitless. LΔ«ze's father was a patriarch of the Gu-Burmese tribe, and he also had three older brothers and one sister. 's mother is a wife, and there are two aunts and uncles.
This big family seems to be very harmonious, who knows the inside story.
Li Ze's kid only hit his feet, and he was pressed on the bed by his mother and not allowed to move. He's the youngest son, but he can't do it.
Jing Jiu held the dagger in his hand and carefully carved the wood in his hand, and he was either wandering around the tribe or mixing with Li Ze all day long.
Li Ze watched the piece of wood become a water chestnut in his hand, and slowly took on a general shape and felt very strange: "Don't you want to go out?" β
"Get out? Why go out? I don't have a home, so it's not good here. As he spoke, he took the time to look up at him and raised his eyebrows: "What?" In a hurry to get me away? β
Li Ze shook his head again and again, reluctant to let him leave so soon, the longer he contacted, the more he found that this person understood a lot.
"I'm afraid your relatives are in a hurry."
Jing Jiu laughed at himself and raised the corners of his mouth: "I don't have any relatives, I can live so long because of God's favor." β
The tone was relaxed, and it was still like a wooden stick in Li Ze's heart.
It's stuffy, not very comfortable.
"I forgot to ask you, why were you in the deep forest that night?"
Jing Jiu lowered the look in his eyes, and finally asked the point.
"Offended people in Jiacheng and was hunted down to the deep forest. If I hadn't run into you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out of this life. β
Li Ze looked at him quite unexpectedly: "Mother said that you should be treated well, you can stay as long as you want." β
There was a slight sound outside the window, and Jing Jiu's eyes swept over without a trace. The totem carved from wood in his hand is about to take shape.
"This is the son who saved Aze, right?"
Jing Jiu got up and bowed slightly to the bright girl: "Exactly." β
Li Ze was pleasantly surprised, if it weren't for the sprained foot, he would have rushed over: "Sister, you're back." β
"Sit, no need to be polite. Are you used to living here? What is needed is not to be told. The girl's eyes were very obvious when she looked at Jing Jiu, and she was polite, but her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
"The girl is polite. Since the girl came to see Aze, she left first. β
Jing Jiu took a few steps to the door and was stopped by the girl behind him: "The tribe is full of traps, and the son still walks less at night." β
"Thank you, girl, for the reminder."
Don't let you move around more? He's not an honest man. If you can't find out the terrain during the day, you can only take advantage of the night.
After nightfall, Jing Jiu was very keenly aware that the number of secret guards who had been lurking around his house had decreased significantly, and although some people had followed him in the past few days, he could also remember the general terrain and the location of the secret guards in his heart.
What made him feel strange was that Li Ze's sister didn't seem to stay in the tribe very often. What's going on out there?
Until now, he has not explained why Li Ze is still injured in the mountains and forests at night.
Moreover, he has not yet met his father. Patriarch of the ancient Burmese tribe.
Five is when everyone sleeps the deepest, Jing Jiu changed into his night clothes and sneaked out of the window. Thanks to the trees that fill the streets, a little tiptoe can hide behind trees and under eaves.
With his memory, he groped into the patriarch's house, and turned around the terrain to find Mrs. Li's house. Hold your breath and crouch against the back of the house.
Mrs. Li looked gentle and generous, but in fact, she also had some martial arts on her body. Jing Jiu hadn't seen her do anything, so she had to be careful in everything.
After squatting quietly for a while, he heard some movement inside, and Jing Jiu stabilized his mind.
"Mother hasn't rested yet."
"You're back, did you have a smooth journey?"
"Mother rest assured, none of them found anything abnormal."
The words between the two were nothing more than chatting a few words about the boudoir between women, Jing Jiu frowned slightly, what was it that made the mother and daughter so cautious.
Jing Jiu didn't plan to stay longer, and was about to get up to leave when he heard the conversation inside.
"The identity of that boy will have to be checked a few more times. I have observed today, and his martial arts are not high. β
"It's not high, and he didn't notice it when he drugged it two nights ago."
The corners of Jing Jiu's mouth twitched a few times, it was because he kept a heart.
