Revert to one 's origin.

The morning in the courtyard is exceptionally quiet, except for the rustle of sweeping the floor, and the occasional sound of handmaidens frolicking in the front yard, there is hardly any other sound. The sky is silent, and it is the most comfortable time.

Mu Lan sat under the small pavilion on the back porch in a daze, looking a little bored.

After confessing to a few maids, Mo Zhu coiled over with a log, and saw Mu Lan's appearance from afar. She stepped forward and called, "Mulan, what are you doing here?" She looked like she had suddenly come back to her senses, and Mu Lan, who was a little flustered on her face, looked at her strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Thinking about the situation in recent days, she frowned and looked at the silent girl worriedly: "Have you encountered anything in the past few days?" In the past, I always talked and laughed with people.,It's very cheerful.。 It's always sad on your face these days, Mulan, or is there something wrong with you? ”

Reluctant to smile, Mu Lan shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that the girl has always told you to do something with Agarwood recently, and I have nothing else to do except take care of the yard, I feel a little idle, so I unconsciously started to stay...."She changed the topic and looked at the brocade box on the wooden plate in Mo Zhu's hand, "By the way, what is this?" ”

"It's a tonic sent by General An, and I heard that it took a lot of effort for General An to get the snow ginseng." Mo Zhu lifted the wooden plate in his hand and said softly, "I was about to send it to the small kitchen, let them make some tonic soup first, and drink some first when the girl comes back." ”

Mu Lan blinked, reached out and took the initiative to take it: "Then I'll go." I'm fine, so I'll go for a walk, but you haven't rested for a few days, so go to the rest meeting quickly. ”

Mo Zhu wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Fang Cai Milan's words, he couldn't say anything when he stopped at the words of refusal.

She smiled and nodded, "That's fine, be careful." ”

Mu Lan nodded obediently, and when she turned around with the wooden plate, her eyes glanced at one place carelessly. In just a moment, she took her eyes back and walked quietly towards the small kitchen.

When he arrived at Shilipo, Ning Fei had already arrived.

Gu Mingxiu ordered the guards who came to follow her not to follow her forward, so he went up with agarwood. The remaining guards didn't dare to disobey Gu Mingxiu's orders, so they had to leave some people to guard around, and some people went around to check if there was anything wrong.

Ning Fei was waiting for her in the small pavilion, wearing a long cyan skirt that was delicate and lovely.

Seeing her coming from afar, Ning Fei smiled slightly and walked towards her slowly: "The road up is not very easy to walk, but I forgot about it when I asked you." What do you think? Do you feel uncomfortable in any way? ”

"It's so easy to get sick somewhere." Gu Mingxiu saw that she took the initiative to come over, so she paused and stood on the path waiting for her to walk in front of her.

The two stood side by side and walked slowly down another path. Agarwood was originally standing behind Gu Mingxiu, but when she saw Ning Fei coming over, she stepped back a distance, keeping a fixed but not close distance from the two.

"When I first met His Royal Highness the Sixth, it was on the shore of a small lake not far from this ten-mile slope." Ning Fei walked forward with Gu Mingxiu, and spoke slowly, she stared at the wind in the distance, with a faint smile in her eyes, "At that time, Qingqing asked me to travel with me, but I happened to meet His Highness the Sixth. At that time, I was young, and I hadn't yet recognized the young master and miss in the whole of Beijing, besides... Where is it so easy to see people in the royal family? ”

"His Royal Highness the Sixth was very surprised when he saw us, and greeted Qingqing directly, but Qingqing glared at him impatiently." Ning Fei pursed his lips and smiled softly, "When His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness appeared, he was so angry that I was startled, and Qingqing was dissatisfied with this before he disciplined him. I thought it was just a good friend with Qingqing, but I didn't know that it was still a prince. ”

"Even if I have known Qingqing for a few days, I would never have imagined that Qingqing would dare to reprimand a prince no matter what."

Ning Fei remembered the old days, his eyebrows were a little helpless, and he couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "But she dares, and the person who is reprimanded is also willing to be reprimanded by her." ”

Gu Mingxiu didn't speak all the way, just listened to her quietly. Her expression was quiet, her eyes were gentle and indifferent, and she was as shallow as a star. The purple skirt spreads out at the feet with the pace of walking, and the skirt spreads out like a lotus leaf.

A girl with a natural and elegant posture and gentleness.

The eyes were quietly withdrawn from Gu Mingxiu's body, and Ning Fei said softly: "From the first time I saw Qingqing... I knew that Qingqing was not an ordinary girl, just like the first time I saw you. Mingxiu, like Qingqing, you have something different from others in your bones, so you are not an ordinary girl. ”

"So Qingqing has the weight of His Royal Highness the Sixth, and you..."Ning Fei paused, gentle and gentle, "Although His Royal Highness King Xiao has never made a clear statement, he has given you that precious qin. In the years I have been in Yangzhou, I have never seen His Highness behave differently towards anyone. ”

Gu Mingxiu's eyes were quiet, and she didn't stir up a trace of waves because of her words: "Maybe His Highness knows that I have the backer of General An's Mansion behind me, so he treats me differently like this." After all... Under the struggle for the throne, there is no truth to speak of. ”

A few traces of exploration flashed in her eyes, Ning Fei was shocked, and hurriedly took her hand, looked left and right nervously, and said seriously: "Mingxiu, don't talk nonsense!" Talking about the government in vain will be raided, you can just talk about it in front of me, and you must not say such things again in front of others. ”

Gu Mingxiu smiled lightly.

Taking her hand and walking forward, Ning Fei sighed: "You are also a character....Qingqing looked stubborn, and others couldn't say anything about her, but she would be a little shaken in the bottom of her heart." You look gentle and gentle, and you seem to be quite approachable, but you are afraid that you are more stubborn than Qingqing in your bones. ”

"I don't like to tolerate those who try to deceive me, kill me, and calculate me, if you move your mind, it doesn't matter, if you move this ability..."Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly, her voice was faint, but it was a little cold, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Ning Fei was slightly stunned, and subconsciously went to see Gu Mingxiu. She turned her head before she met Gu Mingxiu's faint gaze, her eyes changed suddenly, and she pulled Gu Mingxiu to the side and exclaimed, "Be careful!" Someone! ”

A sword was stuck horizontally on the ground where the two of them were standing just now, and Ning Fei grabbed Gu Mingxiu's hand, quite frightened.

Agarwood reacted the fastest, and looked at the direction where the sword flew with heavy eyebrows. She casually broke off a branch from a nearby tree and threw it in that direction with her backhand. The sharp branches shot out like a sword, flying into the jungle and disappearing.

After a miserable scream, there was the sound of squirming footsteps everywhere, and a group of black-clothed people with long swords rushed out of the forest and stopped Gu Mingxiu and the others. The man at the head sneered: "Entrusted by others, take your life!" ”

"Run!" Ning Fei immediately pulled Gu Mingxiu and ran forward.

Agarwood took a few quick steps back and drew the long sword on the ground. She blocked in the direction of Ning Fei and the others escaping, stared at the group of black-clothed people expressionlessly, and said slowly, "Who sent you?" ”

"It has nothing to do with you, if you know each other, get out of the way!"

Ning Fei pulled Gu Mingxiu and ran up the mountain, his tone flustered: "I, I know a path!" Let's run over there first, and we'll be fine! As long as you run down the hill from the path, then you will be saved! Mingxiu, don't be afraid, Mingxiu——! ”

Shaking off her hand, Gu Mingxiu said in a deep voice: "I can't let Agarwood be there alone." ”

She turned around and ran back, not forgetting to tell Ning Fei: "You go quickly!" If you escape, you will report to the official, my people are all down the mountain, as long as you find them, you will be fine. ”

Gu Mingxiu walked very resolutely, not leaving Ning Fei the slightest chance to stop him.

By the time she turned around, there were already several men in black on the road. Agarwood was half-kneeling on the ground, surrounded by a man in black, red blood oozing from his shoulder, obviously injured.

"You're not in a hurry to chase me, don't you think I can't run away as long as I'm in the mountains?" Gu Mingxiu said loudly, she stood at the corner of the corner, and as soon as she spoke, she attracted the attention of others.

Agarwood suddenly changed color: "Girl!! ”

Gu Mingxiu's expression was calm, without the slightest fear: "But how do you know that there is no path on this mountain, how can I not get out of trouble." Or the longer you delay, the more you will not be afraid of those who are guarding the mountain? My grandfather gave me people who were good at fighting, and you think you can get away with it right under their noses? ”

She scoffed, paused, and without hesitation turned and ran out into the jungle—but not the path.

Seeing this, the man in black only hesitated for a moment, then stopped looking at the agarwood on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Catch up!" Can't let her run! ”

Agarwood hurriedly said: "You-" She just held up her sword and couldn't help but kneel.

The figure of the man in black quickly chased Gu Mingxiu and disappeared there, and after a while, a purple figure quietly came out of the small forest on the side, picked up the agarwood, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up!" ”

"Girl?!"

"There's a little hole there, and they can't see me." Gu Mingxiu explained in a low voice, but he pulled the agarwood along another path and walked up the mountain, "Since they are so prepared, there must be people guarding underneath, if we go down, maybe they will be discovered first before we find our own people." ”

"Go up, stall for time."

"Just wait for our people to find out that something is wrong....."

Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes and looked at the figure approaching in front of him, a slight coldness flashed in his eyes: "Then you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”

The person who came out of the weeds was Ning Fei, and she was a little scared and nervous in her eyes. Seeing Gu Mingxiu's master and servant, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with a little surprise in his eyes: "I thought something happened to you....let's go, I just met that group of people, and I was almost discovered." ”

"Well, let's go." Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly.

"Otherwise... It's too late. ”
