In the defense of the country, the highest status, but also the strongest combat power of a border army, Qilian Army, in recent years, the most dazzling, by the army generals of a new star, Xie Houyin, although born in poverty, but since childhood familiar with military books, self-improvement, famous teachers to teach art, horse combat skills are extremely high, both deeply appreciated by superiors, but also won the support of subordinates.

There are many patriots who even compare it with Wei Chilin, the founding general of the Patriotic Empire, and Chang Dingfang of the Liang Kingdom, which is really the hope of the Patriotic Zhongxing.

However, it was such a promising rising star in the army, but he was forcibly transferred by Duanmu Shuofeng to the commander of the Qilian Army as a personal guard to accompany the eldest lady Duanmu Nanli.

Leaving the army he loved, Xie Houyin didn't show the slightest reluctance on his face, anyway, in the entire Qilian City, there were many people who didn't know him Xie Houyin, but there were basically no people who didn't know this Duanmu Nanli eldest lady, so his task was also easy, that is, to follow the eldest lady every day to prevent her from sneaking out again.

Although this famous Confucian general in the army, Xie Houyin has always had a kind and friendly smile on his face, but because he was born tall, coupled with the reason that he has been exercising all year round, he has never slackened, his figure is extremely strong, and he does not wear armor, but it highlights his figure even more, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, standing quietly on the side, which can really deter a lot of Xiaoxiao.

Duanmu Nanli was wandering around in this silk village, and from time to time he looked back at the annoying follower, but every time he looked at the other party, he replied with that warm smile that did not change at all, and she was disgusted and irritable.

After carefully picking at it for a while, Duanmu Nanli finally dropped Wei Jin, who had been very popular in Liangguo recently, and then turned around and walked towards Xie Houyin.

Seeing Duanmu Nanli walking over quickly, Xie Houyin hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Miss." ”

Duanmu Nanli crossed his waist without hesitation, raised his eyes, and looked the other party up and down, while Xie Houyin's face has always been the same smile that has not changed for thousands of years, making people feel good at first sight, and it has not changed in the slightest because of Duanmu Nanli's rude behavior.

However, in Duanmu Nanli's view, this is clearly an extremely hypocritical smile, just like the masks of those puppets in the theater, no matter how realistic it is, it will only make people disgusting.

"I've heard my brother talk about you for a long time, but I really can't understand why someone as capable and promising as you would have to be my henchman. Duanmu Nanli frowned, spread his hands, and said in a tone that hated iron and steel, "Don't you feel unwilling?"

When Xie Houyin heard this, he just responded with a smile: "Thanks to the appreciation of the son, Houyin has nothing to repay, and if he can protect the safety of the young lady under his meager ability, it can be regarded as a complete merit, and he dare not expect anything else." ”

Duanmu Nanli said with some indignation: "Are you going to follow me all the time like this?

Xie Houyin replied calmly: "When it's time to go back, I will naturally go back, Gongzi and the general have their own arrangements, and Houyin, as a soldier, should obey orders." ”

For the one in front of him, who is simply a fart who doesn't enter the oil and salt, Duanmu Nanli has no choice but to wave his hand casually, and said helplessly: "Okay, that's okay, you just continue to follow." ”

In fact, the last time she was her personal guard, the pair of sisters from the Shenjian Gate died tragically at the hands of thieves, so she was greatly hit, after coming back, Duanmu Nanli has not been out of his courtyard for a long time, and has been kneeling in front of the graves of the two sisters to pray and repent, hoping that they will know and forgive their sins, after all, if she hadn't left Qilian City willfully, there would have been no tragedies later.

It wasn't until recently that she thought about going out to buy some incense, candles, paper money and other things to burn for them, but just a few days ago, her own brother, Duanmu Shuofeng, the prince of the country, suddenly found this Xie Houyin, who has been following her as a personal guard, in the name of companionship and protection, to prevent her from thinking of doing stupid things for a while, but in fact, it is just as a surveillance, where can Duanmu Nanli, who witnessed the tragic death of two best friends, stand this, but she herself knows that no matter how much she loses her temper, the eldest brother will never change her decision.

She knows that Duanmu Shuofeng has always been the kind of person with a strong desire to control, whether it is for other outsiders or for his own sister, in short, he needs everyone to act according to his wishes, and if he is disobedient, he will be eliminated directly, and he will not hesitate at all, although he will not be so ruthless to her own sister, but the other party will definitely not change his decision because of her plea.

But in all fairness, in fact, the eldest brother is already very good to her, at least, he will only restrict her from going out of the city because of safety issues, but it is not very restrictive of her personal freedom, she can walk around the city casually, and Duanmu Shuofeng will not interfere.

But in this Qilian City, no one knows their brother and sister, and because of her brother's prestige and means, everyone's attitude towards her is a trembling and afraid to relax, for fear that if she accidentally says the wrong thing, or does something wrong to offend her, when the time comes, Duanmu Shuofeng will know about it, and there will be no way to stay in this Qilian City.

This made her feel extremely bored, and after a long time, she even developed feelings of anxiety, hesitation and nausea.

Imagine that everyone you face every day has become a subordinate in front of you who dare not communicate with you and dare not speak casually, how can you not feel lonely?

It was actually better before, after all, she was a very beautiful girl, and her temperament was naturally cheerful and lively, but there were many bold people in the market who could still treat her as their friend, and even some bold stinky boys, and dared to say some faceless meat words to make her happy, but when this fart came, even if he always had a gentle smile on his face, no one dared to ignore the momentum on his body and the saber on his waist, which is why the boss of the silk Zhuangzi, who was originally close to the relationship between the two parties, also became a little cringe after seeing the two of them。

But since he couldn't get rid of the other party, and it was impossible to persuade the other party to take the initiative to leave, Duanmu Nanli could only simply ignore this person and wander forward by himself.

I used to want to sneak out, but it was just because I was really tired of staying in the city, but since that incident, she also understands that sometimes a sudden idea of her may cause many people to die because of it, and then she is very sensible, and she doesn't argue to Duanmu Shuofeng anymore to go out, people have to grow.

Just when Duanmu Nanli and Xie Houyin walked along the main street of Qiliancheng, about to go to the opera garden at the other end to listen to something new, she suddenly slowed down, looked carefully for a while, and finally even her eyes almost popped out.

After rubbing his eyes vigorously again, and repeatedly comparing them with the image of the person in his mind, Duanmu Nanli crossed the crowd and walked cautiously.

Just opposite them, Ah Bao, a man who had just sold out of ointments and herbs and had won two silver taels, and the old man were also accompanying Han Ruying, a girl who had finally entered the city, to pick a wooden hairpin in front of the stall.

Duanmu Nanli silently walked all the way to the side of the stall, and then pretended to pick it up unintentionally, but mainly observed the three people next to him.

The man's senses were extremely keen, and he suddenly subconsciously looked to the side, and happened to meet the eyes of the two, Duanmu Nanli was an extreme surprise, and Xie Houyin still had a faint smile, like the neighbor's eldest brother.

Ah Bao looked at it slightly, and then nodded to the other party very carefully, and didn't say anything, just lowered his head silently, because he could see that the identities of the other two should be extraordinary.

Although the dress on the beautiful little sister is not exaggerated, there are some exquisite and elegant jewelry everywhere, and the price is definitely expensive.

That man is not simple, how many people can carry a knife on the streets of Qiliancheng? This must be an official family!

But this person is standing quite backwards, and as soon as he stands still, he has been looking around at the people around him, on guard, obviously a guard, not a partner, then the identity of this woman is about to come out, it must be the daughter of an official family, not something he can afford to offend.

"Bao, what do you think of this hairpin?" The girl Han Ruying also raised her head at this time, her face was full of joy, holding the hairpin on her head with one hand, and asked the man next to her, which also happened to see him nodding, and suddenly turned around and looked to the side suspiciously.

The young lady in front of her should be a few years older than herself, but the temperament of the two sides is not comparable at all.

Although Duanmu Nanli is not very old, he has an excellent figure, he likes to dance with swords and swords on weekdays, he is heroic, and he has a unique royal nobility and an elegant bookish atmosphere that has been touched since he was a child, coupled with the extreme beauty of his birth, under the accumulation of various characteristics, people fall in love when they see it, if it were not for her brother's fierce reputation, I am afraid that the suitor will go around Qiliancheng three times.

She is wearing a gorgeous pale pink dress today, not to mention anything else, just looking at this texture, she knows that it must be the most expensive Wei Jin in the silk Zhuangzi, and this workmanship and design are also extremely elegant, as long as it is a woman, she will definitely be envious at a glance, the girl subconsciously looked down at the rough clothes on her body, and inevitably gave birth to some inferiority complex.

The old man just glanced at the other party, and he shrank a little, of course he could see that the other party must be extraordinary.

It was Duanmu Nanli himself, and he smiled at the girl generously: "Hello, first time we met, my name is Duanmu Nanli." ”

The girl was a little embarrassed to retract her calloused hands because of her perennial work, and put them behind her, clasping them gently, lowering her head, and her voice was almost inaudible.

"I, my name is Han Ruying. ”

The old man was startled, and then hurriedly bowed down.

"It turned out to be Miss Nanli, the old Han Wei, who had seen the eldest lady. ”

As he spoke, he wanted to take his granddaughter to kneel down together, but the girl who had always listened to her grandfather was very stubborn and did not kneel this time, and the old man was so anxious.

Duanmu Nanli hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, looked at the man with a calm face in front of him, and pretended to ask casually, "What is this called?"
