Chapter 10: Raised Scars

Back at the Young General's Mansion, if it weren't for the medicine, Mu Zixiao thought that Huo Nanqi's whip was for himself, and he felt guilty and wanted to give him medicine, but Huo Nanqi waved his hand to signal him to deal with the injury on his arm by himself, and if his injury was not already familiar with the road, Mu Zixiao took the medicine and smeared the wound, the ointment was cold, and the fragrance was refreshing.

And Huo Nanqi also took off his coat at this time, seeing Huo Nanqi's solid chest and eight-pack abdominal muscles in his abdomen like a knife blade, Mu Zixiao casually touched his somewhat slender and weak waist, compared to his good figure, he was ashamed.

Looking up further, some fragmentary scars can be ignored for the time being, but a somewhat raised terrifying scar connecting the shoulder from the collarbone attracted Mu Zixiao's gaze.

"Does your knife wound hurt?" Muzi smiled and wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but he felt that it was inappropriate and took it back.

Huo Nanqi glanced down and said in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

"Left over from the war?" Muzi said with a smile.

"Hmm." Huo Nanqi's face seemed to change slightly, his fingers curled slightly, and then he relaxed: "The skills are not as good as people." ”

Mu Zixiao always felt that there would be some story behind this scar, and he wanted to ask something more out of curiosity, but Ruo Fei, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Mu Gongzi, why do you want to deceive our young general." ”

Mu Zixiao didn't understand for a while, thinking that they realized that they were not from this era, but when they thought of the white silk, they immediately scratched their heads and said: "If it weren't for it, say it, you may not believe it, I don't know what happened in the afternoon." ”

"What are you talking about?" Huo Nanqi had finished taking the medicine and put on his clothes again.

If it weren't for the fact that he and Mu Zixiao recounted what happened in the afternoon, Huo Nanqi was also a little incredulous, and stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take a look." Muzi smiled and handed him his hand.

Huo Nanqi held the slender and white hand, examined it carefully, and checked Mu Zixiao's pulse meridians, which were no different from ordinary people, not people who practiced martial arts, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Can you try to summon again?" ”

Mu Zixiao was relieved in front of Huo Nanqi, this man was good to himself, if he changed to someone else, he was afraid that the overlord meal would inevitably suffer from a meal of flesh and skin, not to mention that it would be five million taels of silver after that, even if he helped Huo Nanqi, it didn't hurt except that he was uncomfortable wearing women's clothes, not to mention that the person in front of him was also whipped for himself before returning home.

Thinking of this, Mu Zixiao concentrated, raised his right hand, and said silently: "Out!" ”

“......”

To no avail, "I'll try again!" Shaking his right hand, his palm spread, and the three of them stared at his palm intently at the same time, Mu Zixiao took a deep breath and said, "Out!" ”

“......”

Still unresponsive, if it weren't for the fact that he remembered something: "Isn't it life-threatening for it to appear?" ”

Mu Zixiao shook his head, touched his palm for a while and said, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, the child's life was indeed at stake at that time, but do you remember?" The whip that the Seventh Prince used on me was also in danger, but this white silk did not leak a single star! ”

If it weren't for nothing, he nodded and said, "That's right." In an instant, his eyes suddenly became vigilant: "But Mu Gongzi, who are you!" What is the purpose. ”

Mu Zi smiled for a while, and stammered, "I." I'm, well, I can't explain it, but I've never had the intention of harming you! ”

Huo Nanqi glanced at Mu Zixiao and said, "That's it, don't mention this matter to others." ”

"But the young general, Mu Gongzi is suspicious, this matter must be clarified, if he is the second style of speech, then ......." If it weren't for his unwillingness, he would have been wary of Mu Zixiao, he felt that the young man in front of him must be hidden, and his eyes had become no longer friendly, who was his lackey, it would be unfavorable to the young general, thinking that back then, the young general was extremely confident in the style of words, so there was such an accident.

"Shut up." Huo Nanqi said in a cold voice in an instant.

If he hadn't shut up, this would have been Huo Nanqi's heartache, and he had accidentally uncovered this scar without saying anything, and he felt remorseful in his heart.

Mu Zixiao saw Huo Nanqi who suddenly changed his face, and thought of the person who Ruofei mentioned, he secretly wrote it down in his heart, and when he saw Ruofei's unkind gaze, he raised three fingers and said sincerely: "Huo Nanqi, I swear to God!" I Muzixiao will never do anything harmful to you, such as breaking the oath, the sky will thunder, and it will not be good to ....... ”

"Not necessarily." Huo Nanqi knocked off Mu Zixiao's finger on the roof, and his face softened slightly.

"Major General." At this time, the voice of a small servant sounded outside the door, Mu Zixiao relaxed, if he didn't continue to question tonight, Mu Zixiao didn't know how to answer.

"What?" Huo Nanqi's complexion returned to normal.

"The eldest prince is visiting, please go to the hall with Miss Ruo." The little guy replied.

Huo Nanqi glanced at Mu Zixiao, hesitated for a moment and responded, "Okay." I'll come later. ”

"If not, you can go down first." Huo Nanqi patted Ruofei's shoulder, signaling him not to think nonsense, Ruofei hugged his fists and said, "Yes." Then he stopped talking and retreated.

Only the two of them were left in the room, and the breath in the air became a little subtle, and they didn't know what they were thinking about at this time, no one spoke first, and Mu Zixiao, who felt more and more embarrassed, found the topic first: "See your brother, then am I wearing women's clothes or men's clothes?" ”

"Men's clothes." Huo Nanqi said.

"Okay." Muzi said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Huo Nanqi saw that Muzi was smiling and didn't move, and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, you go out first." Mu Zixiao smiled awkwardly.

“......。”

Huo Nanqi pushed open the door and went to the front hall first.

Mu Zixiao changed into men's clothes and was refreshed, and the little maid took him into the front hall.

"This is 'Ruo Girl'?" A soft-eyed man looked at Mu Zixiao and smiled slightly, his tone was soft, and he was wearing a court dress embroidered with brocade patterns, although the court clothes were a little wide, but they had a different taste on his body, and he could see that this was a gentle and elegant literati.

The man's face is six points similar to Huo Nanqi, compared to Huo Nanqi's somewhat cold face, his face is tender like water, extremely gentle.

"Big brother is good, I am smiling at Muzi." Mu Zixiao made the old mistake again, and saw that this eldest brother was as gentle as jade and very good-looking, and blurted out: "Big brother, do you still lack a younger brother?" ”

"Ahem!" Huo Nanqi covered his mouth and coughed, a little helpless.

"It's okay, Mu Gongzi is very interesting." Huo Nanhua smiled: "Mu Gongzi sit down and say." ”

"Okay, thank you, big brother." Mu Zixiao took three steps and two steps, and sat on the vacant seat next to Huo Nanqi, in a very good mood, and thought to himself: It's really amazing, if the appearance of these brothers is in modern times, how many little girls will be crazy about it and bend their waists for it. ”

Huo Nanqi automatically ignored Mu Zixiao's expression, and asked Huo Nanhua, who had just taken a sip of tea: "Brother, when the person arrives, you can say anything directly." Huo Nanhua didn't go back to the house to change clothes, but came over directly in court clothes, definitely not for small talk.

"Hmm." Huo Nanhua put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Nanqi, today the emperor left me to play in the palace, and I was a little surprised to hear that the Seventh Prince and you fought for a woman in front of the public. This time, I also came to see the beauty of the face, and to pass on the oracle, announcing that the two of you will enter the palace tomorrow. ”

"Into the palace? See the emperor? Mu Zixiao's brain was clouded, and he asked again: "Big brother, can you not go?" ”

Huo Nanhua still said with a smile: "I'm afraid this won't work, but Mu Gongzi can rest assured that the emperor is not angry." After comforting Mu Zixiao, he turned his head to look at Huo Nanqi, his tone seemed to be much more serious, and said: "It's just that Miss An happened to be in the palace today, and she said something not very good, as for Mu Gongzi's male identity, Nanqi, you have to plan carefully, it's heavy, but it's the crime of bullying the king." ”

Huo Nanqi nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, I have my own plans." ”

Huo Nanhua smiled: "Well, that's naturally good." "His younger brother has had too many ideas since he was a child, and sometimes even his father can't figure out what he's thinking in his head, but every time there is no danger, Huo Nanhua won't interfere too much.

After that, Huo Nanhua got up and said, "Then you guys rest early, and I'll go back first." By the way, my father also knows about this, Nanqi, you can take the time to go back home. ”

"Yes, brother." Huo Nanqi got up to send Huo Nanhua out of the house, Mu Zixiao went to Huo Nanqi's room thoughtfully, thought for a while, and decided to reveal his situation to Huo Nanqi first, so that he would not make a big mistake tomorrow, so as to affect them.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Huo Nanqi returning, presumably the two brothers were still talking, Mu Zixiao was not in a hurry, crossed Erlang's legs, hummed a little song, and was leisurely.

When the door opened, Huo Nanqi saw Mu Zixiao sitting lazily in his room, as if thinking of the situation when the two slept together yesterday, and said without frowning: "Isn't there no accommodation arranged?" ”

"It's arranged, but people want to sleep with you." Muzi smiled on the table, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at Huo Nanqi and blinked.

The corners of Huo Nanqi's mouth twitched and said, "I'll go out to sleep." "Turn around and push the door out.

Mu Zixiao hurriedly got up and grabbed his arm, and said with a hippie smile: "Hey! Brother! I said why are you so careless, I'm just joking. ”

Hearing this, Huo Nanqi's heart was relieved, he didn't know why he was suddenly nervous just now, he relaxed at the moment, and when he looked down, he saw that there seemed to be shallow blood stains on Mu Zixiao's sleeves, and then he remembered that Mu Zixiao just casually smeared the ointment and did not bandage it at night.

Huo Nanqi took Mu Zixiao's hand away and walked inside, Mu Zixiao thought he was really angry, and hurriedly said: "Good brother, I was wrong, don't be angry." ”

"No, I'll go get the medicine." Huo Nanqi said lukewarmly.

"Oh." Mu Zixiao sat at the table obediently, he originally thought that some words were not easy to speak, so he adjusted the brisk atmosphere first, but he never thought that it would be self-defeating.

Huo Nanqi took the ointment and strap, and gently pulled up his sleeve, the originally white and delicate arm now had a hideous wound with open skin and flesh, which was unbearable to look at.

Huo Nanqi's fingers were glued with ointment, and he gently applied it to Mu Zixiao's wound, extremely gentle, as if his arm was a fragile porcelain.

The bright light of the candle flame on the wooden table swayed left and right on Huo Nanqi's face, and it stunned Mu Zixiao's eyes, looking at the person in front of him moving gently, he was slightly stupid, and his body instinctively tilted slightly, as if he wanted to... Lean in.

"Does it still hurt?" Huo Nanqi suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Mu Zixiao, who was about to lean over, was suddenly pulled back to reality by this low male voice, and almost fell under the table, Huo Nanqi raised his hand and helped him: "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Zixiao waved his hand again and again and said in a panic: "No, it's okay, what's wrong with what you just said?" ”

"Does it still hurt? The wound is a little deep. Huo Nanqi picked up the strap and wrapped it around his forearm.

"No, it doesn't hurt, haha, man, it's still good to get beaten occasionally." Muzi replied with a smile, he remembered that in his previous life, let alone whip wounds, his parents had never even touched a finger of him, and the pain was still painful, but he didn't feel the pain when his heart was warm.

"I'll look for some medicine when I enter the palace tomorrow to make this scar as light as possible." Huo Nanqi had already wrapped it, still gently tied a knot, and rolled down his sleeve.

Entering the palace, by the way, I want to tell him something, "That, Huo Nanqi, there is something I want to tell you." After Muzi finished laughing, he glanced at his expression by the way, and there was no heat or cold.

"You say." Huo Nanqi also looked at him.

"I'm from another country, maybe a little far, Persia you know, it's a lot farther than Persia." Mu Zixiao still didn't dare to say that he was not a person of this era at all, so he changed his mind and changed his words, maybe this would be better understood, and continued: "My country is completely different from yours, there is no emperor, no general, and the means of transportation and lifestyle are also completely different. I mean, can you get it? After Mu Zixiao said this, he glanced at Huo Nanqi cautiously.

Huo Nanqi was silent, frowned, and dispersed again, before he said in a deep voice after a long time: "Another world? ”

Mu Zixiao thought about the countless expressions Huo Nanqi had after hearing these words, but he didn't expect him to be so calm and expressionless, or what he said was originally a foreign country, but the two words in Huo Nanqi's mouth were from another world, which made Mu Zixiao surprised.

"Uh, that." Mu Zixiao scratched his head and did not continue to talk about his situation, but looked at Huo Nanqi and asked, "What do you mean by another world?" "He had to make sure he wasn't treated like a monster and thrown into the fire to burn to death, so he had to be cautious, even if he was at ease in front of Huo Nanqi, he wouldn't dare to gamble on it.

"In another world, when I was young, there was a master who taught me for a year, he was unfathomable, and said many things that I have never heard or seen, and he told me that after ten thousand years in our country there will be a world, peace, and no strife." Looking at Huo Nanqi's expression, he seemed to be a little yearning.

Mu Zixiao was silent, Huo Nanqi said that the master was probably the same as him, he crossed over, he was a little nervous, and asked, "That master, can I see it?" ”

"I can't see it." Huo Nanqi's originally bright eyes dimmed.

"Why?" Muzi smiled puzzled.

"When I was sixteen years old, I died." Huo Nanqi said in a low voice, as if mixed with a choked tone, and Mu Zixiao's heart that had just been mentioned also sank.
