Mu Zixiao couldn't understand what was going on with the people in the hall for a moment, and his expression was a little strange, but he understood that this matter was probably over, and Mu Zixiao retreated to Huo Nanqi's side and stood up again.

"Wechen retired." Huo Nanqi was obviously a little unhappy, and Emperor Zhou Shi also knew at a glance that although he was his own courtier, before the emperor spoke, the courtier was about to retire, which was a big rebellion. But Huo Nanqi is such a personality, and Emperor Zhou Shidi also complained to himself a little, what kind of joke is not good, it has to make such a big fuss, hey, it's just that, who let this young general recruit himself to like it, really let him retire to the field, but he is really reluctant, but some things should be given him some time.

Emperor Zhou Shidi waved his hand to signal to retreat, Huo Nanqi turned around and retreated, Mu Zixiao raised his hand and pulled Huo Nanqi's sleeve as if to appease, he didn't see it, Huo Nanqi's expression was written on his face, you play with me, I'm not happy, it's just that I am your courtier, I don't dare to say anything, it's a big deal.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, the emperor touched his beard and said, "Little Dezi, do you think Nanqi and this child are anything weird?" Xiao Dezi rubbed Emperor Zhou's shoulder with a hippie smile, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the relationship between young people is good, you and the slave sometimes hook up your shoulders and back, what's not strange about pulling down your sleeves." ”

Emperor Zhou Shidi patted Xiao Dezi's head and said, "Whoever hooked up with you sounds more like a traitor." Alright, I'm going to sleep. "That's what he said, it's just that Emperor Zhou Shidi's eyes have always been vicious, and there is nothing wrong with seeing people, he only feels that Huo Nanqi seems to be completely different from this Mu Zixiao, and when he observes Mu Zixiao carefully, he always feels that he is five or six points similar to a person, and it seems to be a little like the style of speech, and he can't help but worry in his heart.

"Oops! Your Majesty, it's about to be the time of the early dynasty. Xiao Dezi saw Emperor Zhou Shidi get up and walked to the inner hall, and hurriedly said.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow. By the way, you go to draw up an excerpt, just say let Huo Nanqi temporarily dismiss the affairs of the army, and he can only return before the year, let him go outside to toss, it can be regarded as a small punishment. After that, he rubbed his eyebrows, as if he remembered that the eldest lady of the Hou family had a headache, so he lifted the curtain and went in to rest, Xiao Dezi sighed: "The slave obeys the order, hey, our emperor is a child's temper." ”

Out of the palace, if it weren't for the fact that he had already been waiting for a carriage at the gate of the palace, seeing Huo Nanqi's unkind face, he asked Mu Zixiao in a low voice: "Has the emperor punished him?" Muzi shook his head with a smile and whispered, "No." If it weren't for the unknown: "What's wrong with the young general?" Mu Zi smiled and shook his head again: "I don't know either." ”

"Go home." Huo Nanqi, who had already sat in the carriage, said in a low voice.

Mu Zixiao and if he didn't say more, when Mu Zixiao got in, if he hadn't raised his horsewhip and drove away, that night, Mu Zixiao consciously went to the room arranged for him to sleep, and didn't bother Huo Nanqi again.

The next day, Huo Nanqi still got up early and entered the palace, and Mu Zixiao didn't dare to go out again when he had nothing to do in the mansion, for fear of causing trouble for him again.

If it weren't for telling the story of Huo Nanqi when they were young, in fact, Mu Zixiao wanted to hear about that style of speech, but if it wasn't for his mouth being too tight, he didn't even get a word of coaxing.

When Huo Nanqi came back, it was already late at night, and Mu Zixiao was lying on the bed in a daze, when he heard a knock on the door.

"Have you rested?"

"Not yet, wait!" Put on his shoes and get out of bed to open the door, Huo Nanqi, who was standing outside the room, took a cloth bag and looked at him.

"Come in." Mu Zixiao felt a little uneasy when he saw the cloth bag, An Zhirui's matter was over, and he was useless, Huo Nanqi had prepared a burden to let him go.

"Drink water?" Muzi asked with a smile, trying to make his emotions seem peaceful.

"Nope." Huo Nanqi sat at the table and pushed the burden in his hand towards Mu Zixiao, and said, "Here are a few changes of clothes and some gold leaves, you can bring them in case you need them, and my brother will come over to pick you up tomorrow." ”

Mu Zixiao hesitated, didn't know whether to take it or not, and then thought about it, if he didn't take it today, he was afraid that he would have to eat the overlord meal again in the future, so he raised his hand and thanked him, and then said softly: "Don't bother big brother, I don't want to go anywhere in the future." ”

"You're leaving?" Huo Nanqi froze for a moment.

"Huh? Didn't you drive me away? Mu Zixiao saw Huo Nanqi's reaction, and said in his heart: "I thought wrong? ”

"I'm just going to leave for a while, please ask my brother to take you to Huo Mansion tomorrow, and I didn't say I want to drive you?" Huo Nanqi said.

Hearing this, Mu Zixiao was overjoyed, put the burden on the table casually and said, "Really? ”

As if he didn't understand why Mu Zixiao was suddenly so happy, Huo Nanqi said sincerely: "Seriously." ”

"That's great!" Mu Zixiao happily opened the baggage, in addition to the two men's clothes, what caught his eye was a small red cloth bag, which was covered with a heavy pile of gold leaves, and said in surprise: "Thank you, brother, for giving me so much?" According to the silver I bought last time I bought clothes, I am afraid that these gold leaves can be eaten for several months and will not starve to death, thinking of this, I can't help but raise my eyes and ask, "How long are you going to go?" ”

"I'll be back about a year ago." After speaking, he thought that Mu Zixiao was worried about sending people under the fence, and said: "I have explained it clearly to my brother, you can rest assured." ”

"Isn't it, wait, years ago?" Now a few months, May, that is half a year, Mu Zixiao thought that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly confirmed it again.

Huo Nanqi said: "Well, the emperor decreed, I need to leave Beijing temporarily." ”

Mu Zixiao tied the package and stuffed it into Huo Nanqi's arms: "Take me with you." ”

Huo Nanqi smiled: "The road is long, it is not easy, and there may be dangers. After examining Mu Zixiao's thin body, he continued to smile: "Your physique is too poor for long distances. ”

"Hey! Huo Nanqi! You laugh, how do I think you treat me like a waste. Mu Zixiao is not happy, his current body is small, but that is because his body is young now, as long as he exercises diligently, he can still fight or anything.

"It's not a waste, it's about a canary." Huo Nanqi couldn't help but laugh.

"It's too much! I'm also a decent man, and I think of me like a big lady. Take me with you, and I won't make trouble. Muzi smiled and looked sincere.

Huo Nanqi said: "You can't even protect yourself. ”

Muzi smiled: "I practice hard. ”

Huo Nanqi said: "It may often be dark at night. ”

Muzi smiled: "I'm not afraid to follow you." ”

Huo Nanqi said: "Maybe there will be beasts. ”

Muzi smiled: "Then you kill it, I'll stew it for you to eat." ”

Huo Nanqi: "......"

"That's it, go to bed." Mu Zixiao took advantage of Huo Nanqi's time to object, hurriedly pushed him out of the door, and turned over the bed with the package, no matter where he was going, as long as he could go with him, it would be much better than in the capital where no one knew him. What's more, he still has some things to know in Huo Nanqi's mouth, thinking of this, Mu Zixiao closed his eyes and fell asleep soundly.

Before dawn, a figure in white stood not far from Huo Nanqi's door, as if he was still holding something in his arms, motionless, like a light ghost.

"Mu Gongzi, who are you?" If he hadn't thought that there had been a thief in the house, he quietly approached and found that it was Mu Zixiao.

"Ahem, it's okay, turn around." Mu Zixiao smiled embarrassedly, and tightened his burden: "Why can't your general afford it?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that he seemed to see the burden in Mu Zixiao's arms, he guessed his intentions, and said with his forehead: "Mu Gongzi, now that the time has just passed, are you afraid that our young general will leave you and run away by yourself?" After that, he looked around at the dark and starless surroundings, and said helplessly: "The young general has explained, he will take you to set off with him after Huo Mansion returns tomorrow, don't make a fuss." ”

"I'm not making a fuss, I can't sleep, or if you don't chat with me, I don't think you're sleepy." Muzi smiled and said with a smile, showing a mouthful of white teeth in the dark, and inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was weird.

"Stay put, I'll go to sleep." With that, a dark shadow ran away and disappeared into the darkness.

"Hey, do you hate me so much?" Mu Zi smiled and sighed, looked up at the stars, and thought of his previous life: "Mom and Dad, are you okay?" ”

Mu Zixiao sat on the stone platform, curled up and thought about his past life.

At that time, I turned into the river, and I don't know what kind of expression my parents would have when Mu Zixiao was salvaged, the river that suddenly appeared must be strange, or that river is a certain connection point with the current world, or a medium.

If I think so, if I find that river, can I go back? Holding his temples with both hands, he tried his best to remember what the river looked like, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of why.

The rooster crowed, and the people in the house had already gotten up.

Huo Nanqi opened the door, and what came into his eyes was a thin body sitting on the stone steps thoughtfully, he couldn't help laughing, the cold dew wet his clothes, his face was slightly pale, and he was surprised in his heart, how afraid he was that he would leave.

"You're up." Mu Zixiao patted the dirty dirt on his body, raised his eyes and said with a smile, Huo Nanqi is also dressed in white today, more gentle and elegant, and less aggressive.

"I'm going back to Huofu to see my father today, do I want to go along?" Huo Nanqi didn't plan to smile with Muzi, and wanted him to rest for a while before leaving, after all, the future is not a peaceful one.

Mu Zixiao refused with a smile: "I won't follow you when you go home, say hello to the eldest brother for me, haha." As if thinking of something, Mu Zixiao ran away with the package, then stopped and turned around and said, "Brother, remember to take me when you leave." "Hurriedly left.
