"Dragon Guard, what you said, I already understand." Huaiyu pondered.

"Miss Gu, now that a fugitive has no place to stay in this Xu Mansion, please ask the girl to save me."

He originally planned to beg him to give himself a job after meeting the richest man Xu, and he was able to be a bodyguard in the Xu family's commercial houses all over Daqing.

With the protection of the Xu family, even if the emperor wants to arrest and hold him accountable, he has to think about it.

After all, most of the wealth of the treasury comes from the Xu family, which is extremely rich.

Although Long Gan is only responsible for storing the treasury of the Water Heart Mirror, he is still very clear about the source of the treasure in the treasury.

The emperor wants to have a feud with the Xu family, which is not a good thing for the emperor.

However, seeing Huaiyu at this time, Long Gan changed his original mind, although he didn't know what the woman in front of him had to do with the Xu Mansion, but seeing that Mrs. Xu was responsive to her, her identity in the Xu Mansion must be unusual.

This is his limitation as a guardian of the Water Mirror.

Since their ancestors, perhaps because they are the guardians of the Water Heart Mirror, or because they have been cursed by God, the Dragon Family has been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been taught by their father to take good care of the Water Heart Mirror since they were children, and they grew up listening to the mysterious and mysterious stories of the Water Heart Mirror.

As the guardian of the Water Heart Mirror, the Long clan has lived in the imperial city for generations, and is not allowed to have private contact with the ministers of the court and the central government, let alone go outside the palace to have contact with the common people.

He has been living in the palace like this, and since he was born, his life has been destined to protect the water heart mirror for a lifetime.

However, in the days since escaping the palace, he has been thinking about why he is destined to be locked up in the palace like a prisoner. Could it be for the ridiculous remark that only the Long clan can wait for the Water Heart Mirror that I don't know who put forward it?

For the sake of an ordinary mirror, his father lived in the palace all his life and never set foot in the imperial city.

And he, do you want to follow in his father's footsteps, marry a palace maid as his wife, give birth to a child, and continue to tell him the story of Shuixin Mirror?

Long Gan frowned.

No, that's not what you want.

"Miss Gu, I have been hiding in Kyoto these days, and I have heard many stories of girls from the people, I believe that in this world, if there is anyone who can save me, it must be Miss Gu, please save me."

His appearance of treating Huaiyu as the last straw was a little pitiful.

Although the word "Chu Chu is pitiful" is a little awkward to use on a man, it does not feel inconsistent at all when it is used on Long Gan at this time.

Huaiyu smiled: "I know, I also ask the dragon guards to live here for a few days, as for the search of the imperial city guards, what the Xu Mansion can block will be blocked for you, you can rest assured." ”

"Thank you, girl."

Long Gan was overjoyed, and made a deep bow to Huaiyu, and then bowed to Mrs. Xu, Ah Wei, and Xiaoliu respectively.

"Thank you, madam, thank you, brother, thank you—"

Xiao Liu covered his mouth and smiled: "You guard, you are very polite." ”

Long Gan smiled and stood in place, he has learned the ancient rites of the sages since he was a child, and he has learned the sages of the ancients, how his father taught, he learned, and always thought that this was the etiquette used by everyone.

But in fact, now that Daqing is falling apart, both scholars and civilians have long forgotten this set of ancient rituals, and usually express respect, that is, symbolically bow their hands.

At this time, Long Gan bowed ninety degrees and saluted everyone, and everyone felt that this person looked like a person who had come to this dynasty from ancient times.

His every move seemed so out of place in this world.

The snow fell heavier, and when they returned to the east wing, the lights on both sides of the house had been turned off, and Huaiyu and Xiaoliu deliberately slowed down, for fear of waking up the Duan sisters who had fallen asleep.

Ah Wei had also returned to his own room, and now only Huaiyu and Xiaoliu were left.

There is a maid who always pays attention to adding charcoal, opens the door and comes in, and the warmth inside suddenly wraps the two people who came from the wind and snow, and they can't help but sigh, and take off the cloak on their bodies and hand it to the maid.

Simply freshen up and get ready to rest.

Huaiyu leaned against the bed with her underwear, and said to Xiao Liu, who was busy, with a smile: "Sister Xiao Liu, we haven't slept in a bed for a long time." You see it's so cold today, why don't you sleep here? ”

Xiao Liu chuckled lightly and petted, "Okay, I'll come now." ”

The girl is like a little adult now, and every time she calls her Sister Xiaoliu, she is either coquettish or has something.

Thinking of today's cloak incident, the smart Koyanagi knew what the girl wanted to do, and Koyanagi thought, it was time to talk to the girl about this matter.

She rested the hairpin on her head and the pendant on her ear, walked over and made the bed, stuffed Huaiyu into the quilt, blew the lamp, and got in herself.

The two lay side by side in bed, as if they had gone back to the days when they talked in bed every night many years ago.

"Sister Koyanagi."

"Girl, Xiaoyanagi took the initiative to say it." Without waiting for Huaiyu to ask, Xiaoliu took the initiative to say, "The girl must have wanted to ask Xiaoliu if she has an intention, and the girl must have also found the clue, Xiaoliu is indeed happy with Awei." ”

In the dark, it can better cover a person's emotions, Xiao Liu said something about Xin Yue Awei, and his face was slightly red, but of course Huaiyu couldn't see it.

Huaiyu was stunned.

Then he came back to his senses, smiled and scratched Xiaoliu's itch: "Okay, you Nizi, when did this happen?" ”

"A long time ago, a long time ago." "At that time, I was still young, and Lord Awei only regarded me as a child, oh, of course, he only sees me as a child now." ”

Speaking of this, Koyanagi was very helpless.

In the first days of Yundu, the closest person to them was Ah Wei, a man who took care of the women, children and girls of the Duan family, as well as himself.

Young Koyanagi had a different kind of affection for this approachable man with martial arts.

However, in Xiaoliu's heart, Ah Wei was sent to the girl by Zhao Shizi to protect the girl, and he took care of himself just because he was the girl's girl.

Even putting this aside, Ah Wei was already a man who was close to age at that time, and if he got married and had children according to his age, I am afraid that the children would already be as old as himself.

Koyanagi hides this affection in his heart.

Until—

That day in Xiangcheng, I knew that Ah Wei had a fiancée.

knew that his fiancée was in love with someone else and betrayed Xunyanlou.

knew that Xun Yanlou handed over Ah Wei's fiancée to Duan Qingshu in order to rescue Brother Yunxiao.

Koyanagi often observes Ah Wei, and also sees the decadent appearance under the surface that he doesn't care.
