The first light of the morning hit my face, and I felt a breath of heat, and subconsciously put my hand in front of my forehead, and opened my eyes in a daze. Mo'er lay beside me, and there was no one around. I straightened up, I didn't see Qianche, I saw a white dress on the big rock last night, I rubbed my eyes, "That...... It's Chu Muxiu! ”

I looked in his direction, and there were mountains or trees on all sides, but there was nothing, "He, what the hell are you looking at?" ”

Qian Che walked over from there, holding a bottle of water in his hand, "Miss Nan, you're awake, drink some water, this is what I just got from the river!" ”

"Oh, thank you......" I took a sip of the water and returned the bottle to Qianche.

Qian Che turned his head to glance at Chu Muxiu, paused for a moment and then sat down again, as if he was used to Chu Muxiu's appearance.

"Qianche, I also saw your Highness sitting there last night, here is either a mountain or a tree, what is your Highness looking at?" Originally, I didn't want to ask, but when I saw Qianche's appearance, I became suspicious again.

"Look at the lady!"

"Lady Lady? Who is that, could it be that she is in heaven? "This name is a woman when you hear it, and it is also a noble woman.

"Concubine Shu Niangniang is the mother of Her Royal Highness, and she has been dead for more than ten years!"

"More than ten years?" I unconsciously glanced at Chu Muxiu again, "It turns out that he is also a poor person who has no mother since he was a child, just like me!" ”

Qian Che seemed to be a little lost, and even his tone began to become heavy, "Yes, when Concubine Niangniang left, my Royal Highness was only four years old, and he was still a little hairy child who needed his mother's love, and then the emperor also died, and His Royal Highness really became an orphan without father and mother." Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, Taifu Li was often transferred by His Majesty to Saiwai, and there was only one person left in His Royal Highness's Mansion. His Royal Highness is really pitiful, Concubine Shuniang said before she died that she would always look at him in the sky, and if she wanted her, she would look at the sky, so His Royal Highness would look at the sky when he was free......"

"That's ...... That's the Way"

It turns out that I just think that Chu Muxiu has a withdrawn personality and doesn't like to deal with living people, but I never thought that he was as pitiful as me, oh no, he is even more pitiful than me, although my mother died earlier than Concubine Shu, but I still have Daddy and Aunt Song who love me, and I am still carefree until now; But Chu Muxiu is different, his father and mother are dead, and even the only uncle who loves him is not by his side, and he is the only one left in the palace. No wonder when I first met him as a child, he was so arrogant, I can't believe how he survived such a hard time!

"Miss Nan, Miss Nan......"

"Hmm!" Qian Che dangled his hand in front of me for a long time before I came to my senses.

Qian Che asked me in a daze, and then looked at Mo'er again, "What was Miss thinking just now, don't tell Your Highness what I told you just now, otherwise he will say that I am too talkative, and I am about to tell that girl to get up, ready to go!" ”

"Oh, I won't say that!"

"Oh yes, Chiche!"

"Is there anything else wrong with Miss?"

"Don't call me Miss in the future, it's quite outside, you can call me Ah Candle like Your Royal Highness!"

"Good!" Qian Che immediately agreed.

I was quite grateful to Qian Che along the way, because I knew a lot about Chu Muxiu from his mouth. Qian Che is lively and kind to speak, Chu Muxiu is silent, the two of them are not the same character at all, and even one in the sky and one in the ground. has already followed such a boring person, and has to make his originally interesting self as boring as Chu Muxiu, Qian Che is afraid that he has also suffered a lot of sins in the past few years.

If Chu Muxiu's temperament is as hearty and easy to talk as Qian Che, I don't have to be so careful with him, so I can't talk about the topic!

"Mo'er, Mo'er, get up and hurry!" When I went to call Mo'er, she was still asleep.

Mo'er covered her eyes with her hands: "Forehead...... Is it dawn? ”

"I can still sleep when the sun is drying my buttocks, don't hold back, get up and hurry up!" Chi-cheol led the horse past us.

"Hold back, how can you talk, hey, who is holding back, you can make it clear......" Mo'er couldn't open her eyes yet, but when she heard Qianche's words, she came to her senses and walked faster than me.

"I don't call for hey!"

"Oh, you're called a scoundrel!"

No matter when, anyway, they quarreled as soon as they met, and after walking for most of the day, we were all tired, and they didn't have the strength to quarrel.

Sure enough, I didn't look for Chu Muxiu, he didn't say a word, and I finally believed that what Qian Che said about Chu Muxiu was a sullen person at all. If I don't speak for a day, I'm going to die of suffocation. I didn't say a word to Chu Muxiu after walking for a long time, because it was really tiring to keep walking like this, and I didn't know what to say to Chu Muxiu, so I couldn't tell him that I had no mother since I was a child like him, and then complained to each other, and finally cherished each other......

"No, there is not a drop of water, why am I so unlucky!" Today is already a sunny day, and after walking for a few hours, my mouth has long been dry, and when I open the cap, it is actually empty, and no matter how hard I take the bottle and slap it on my mouth, I can't see half a minute.

"Mo'er, Mo'......"

Chu Muxiu took the water bottle and threw it from his horse, "Drink mine!" ”

I pulled my neck back and grabbed the bottle of water with a hard time, "Oh, oh, thank you!" ”

"You're welcome, I promised to take care of you on the way to the prime minister!"

Originally, Chu Muxiu was quite happy to give me me, but when he said this later, I was instantly deflated, as if he had to give it to me as a last resort. Actually, I really didn't want to thank him, because Chu Muxiu's bottle was not light or heavy, and it almost knocked me off the horse, Aunt Song said that since ancient times, women have been thin, no wonder Chu Muxiu didn't have half a maid by his side......

I glanced at Chu Muxiu angrily, but still unscrewed the cap of the bottle, it is better to die than to live, no matter what, I can't wronged myself. I bent over and couldn't wait to pour this bottle of water into my mouth. For me with a dry mouth, a drop of water is a gift from the world, and that bottle should be regarded as a treasure!

"......Suddenly, Chu Muxiu pulled out the sword at his waist, and the sword knocked over the water bottle in my hand.

"Ah......" I sat on the back of the horse and watched a bottle full of water fall to the ground like this, when I got off the horse and picked up the water bottle, there was not a drop left, "My water, a whole bottle of water, I haven't taken a sip yet, what's the matter with you, if you don't want to give me a drink, just say why make such a ......fuss"

"Who's it, come out!" Chu Muxiu didn't pay attention to me at all, just rode his horse back and forth, and kept roaring in his mouth.

"You, you, don't think you can hide from it by pretending to be stupid, hurry up, hurry up and return the water to me!" I held the empty water bottle and questioned Chu Muxiu pitifully.

"Harnessing ......"

"What happened to Your Highness?" Qian Che also rode a horse and brought Mo'er with him.

Chu Muxiu still kept looking around: "I suspect that someone is following us on the road!" ”

Mo'er jumped off the horse: "Miss! ”

I knew that Chu Muxiu wouldn't pay attention to me, so he slowly put his hand down and held the empty bottle in his arms, "How can anyone follow us, there are only four of us and three horses on the road, and there is still a bottle of water," I was really angry halfway through my speech, and then raised my head and glared at Chu Muxiu, "It's good now, I was killed by a sword from you, a guy who doesn't have long eyes!" "It's the first time I dare to scold Chu Muxiu like this, because I think this water is really a pity, and Chu Muxiu is too hateful.

"Guy who doesn't have long eyes? Isn't the young lady talking about His Highness? ”

"Who else is it not him?" I touched the bottle in my hand, and I was really dying of thirst.

"No one has ever dared to insult His Royal Highness like this, Miss Nan is the first one, Qian Che admires it!" Qian Che clearly looked lively.

"Qianche!"

"Yes!"

Chu Muxiu called out to Qian Che, Qian Che glanced at Chu Muxiu, and then walked past me, I didn't know what to pull from the trunk of the big tree not far away, and then brought it to Chu Muxiu, "Your Highness, there is no poison on the dart!" ”

"Darts? Where do the darts come from? "I was a little scared when I saw such a sharp weapon.

Qian Che pointed behind me, "Now, on that tree trunk!" ”

I looked behind me, and the trunk was pointing straight in the direction of me, "The trunk?" In the trunk of a tree behind me, someone is trying to harm me? ”

Qian Che raised the dart and looked left and right, "If it weren't for His Highness's sword just now, this dart in my hand would have been stuck in your neck!" ”

"Neck, my neck!" I was so frightened that I immediately put my hand around my neck.

"Qianche don't scare her anymore, the top priority is to get out of this place as soon as possible!"

"Your Highness is right!"

I put one foot in the saddle and said, "Yes, yes, yes, gotta go, go!" ”

"You can't go!"

Before I could climb on horseback, I heard a shout, and then a group of men in black came up to me, all of them with their faces covered and knives in their hands, as if they were going to devour the four of us alive.

Chu Muxiu stood in front of me and Mo'er, "Who sent you?" ”

The man looked fierce: "Go to the Netherworld and ask the king of Hades!" Before he could finish speaking, he rushed towards us with a big knife.

"Hide behind that tree and don't show your head!" I saw Chu Muxiu's face struggling, and he pushed me out with a frown.

I pulled Mo'er to hide behind a big tree, and Mo'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.

Chu Muxiu and Qian Che and the dozen or so black-clothed people originally simply dismantled a few moves, but the more fierce they became. The knife skills of the group of black-clothed people are not bad, the knife is fast and accurate, and they also pick on others to stab when they don't pay attention, and the knife is deadly.

I hid behind and watched, the group of people in black always kept sneaking up on Chu Muxiu, and everyone was fiercely attacking Chu Muxiu with every knife, I felt that the purpose of their trip was definitely not to rob money. I thought about it carefully, in fact, I was on horseback at that time and I were in the same direction as Chu Muxiu, that dart was originally going to be aimed at Chu Muxiu, but I was just cannon fodder for Chu Muxiu, they wanted Chu Muxiu's life, and what they wanted to kill from beginning to end was Chu Muxiu!

"Your Highness'......"

"Miss is back, don't you want to die?"

I was still worried, so I showed my head, and before I finished speaking, I was pulled back by Mo'er.

The group of black-clothed people in the back surrounded Chu Muxiu and Qianche, although Chu Muxiu was good at kung fu, but there were many of them, and they were playing with big knives, so they were afraid that if they were so hard, they would lose both sides in the end. In fact, if it weren't for me and Mo'er, they could easily get out, but now they still have to take care of us......

"Qianche, there are too many of them, I'm afraid that if we continue to fight, we will affect the two girls, you take Mo'er, I will take Miss Nan, we will run separately, lead away their crowd, and we will meet at the border after we get out!" Chu Muxiu blocked the front with his sword, leaning on Qian Che and said softly.

Qian Che's gaze focused on the faces of the group of men in black, "Yes! ”

Mo'er honestly hid behind the big tree, but I always poked my head out for worry. I watched Chu Muxiu jump up, and then landed in front of me like a hero, grabbed my arm with a sigh, and pulled me onto his horse. I wanted to look up at him, but his face was close to mine, and I was afraid that my forehead would touch his face as soon as I looked up, so I lowered my eyes again. In a panic, I smelled the sandalwood fragrance on his body again, this fragrance is not strong or light, it is just the smell I like......

"Drive ......" As soon as Chu Muxiu's legs moved, the horse immediately ran.

"Mo'er, Mo'er is still there!"

When the horse started running, I relieved myself, kept looking back, and even wanted to get off the horse to find Mo'er, but I stepped on it and stepped on it, my head was on the horse's buttocks, and my whole body was about to fall off the side of the horse.

Chu Muxiu bent down first and then stretched out his hand to support my waist, and pulled me back to the horse in an instant, because my head was facing back when I called Mo'er just now, so when Chu Muxiu pulled me up, my face was facing him, and he pulled too hard, I threw myself into his arms at once, "Qianche will protect her thoroughly!" "All of a sudden, my face was flushed, and my heart was beating out of my throat.

"Hmm!" I nodded, not knowing what to say, but I was stunned the whole time.

Later, I quietly glanced behind me, and Mo'er was indeed gone, and now I was completely relieved.

In fact, I don't know when I started to like Chu Muxiu, maybe it was when he rescued me from the strong man on the street that day, maybe it was when he rushed into the fire and was carried out by me, maybe it was when he pulled me on the horse today, or maybe it was the first time I saw him at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet......
