Mo Li snorted and laughed: "Look at you, I'm just joking, I know that you won't leave the family alone." ”

"The princess treats my husband and wife like this, but we don't know how to repay it."

"It's all a family, what is there to repay and not to repay. As you know, I've been getting heavier and heavier lately, and you've been a little more burdened by family affairs. After all, my father is old, and when this kind of thing happens again, I should take care of it more. Big and small things depend on you and your eldest brother. ”

"The princess is serious. Since I was a child, I have seen a lot of open and secret battles in the house, and I have never seen a woman with such a princess. I don't say anything anymore, but if I talk too much, it seems that I am a little childish. If there is anything in the future, although the princess commands, my husband and wife will do their best. Liu had tears in his eyes.

She was also born in a powerful family, but she was bullied because she lost her mother when she was a child. After marrying into the palace of Bac Ninh, although it is better than before in the boudoir, but with the pressure of the Lu family, he always has to be careful. Now that I have heard Mo Li's words, I feel intimate. I couldn't help but respect her a little more in my heart.

Mo Li smiled: "Don't say these words again in the future, it sounds like a raw thing." It's not early, you're tired from the day, go back and rest. ”

"Yes, princess, you also rested earlier." Liu got up and said goodbye and left.

Mama He brought the summer tea, Mo Li was very tired, and she fell asleep after only two sips.

……

In the northwest of Ding'an City, Princess Xiao of Jin tucked the quilt for her sleeping daughter and lay down next to her. At the end of June, the northwest is not as hot as the capital, especially at night, if you don't cover the quilt, Mi'er will catch a cold again.

It was late at night, but Xiao Shi did not feel sleepy at all, she had stayed in Ding'an City, and she didn't know much about the war outside, only heard that the imperial army had repeatedly forced in, and Xilong was almost unable to keep it.

The wind began in the evening, and became stronger at night, with the sound of the howling wind mixed with the rustling of sand against the doors and windows.

The door outside was slammed open, Xiao Shi was startled, only to hear the maid who was keeping vigil outside exclaiming, followed by a man's low and hoarse voice: "It's this king." ”

Xiao Shi hurriedly got up, and saw that a tall figure had already entered the bedroom.

There was only a small oil lamp lit in the room, and the man's face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, but the familiar breath was not Zhong Hanchi, who could it be?

Then the maid who followed up lit the oil lamp and lit the candle on the candlestick, Xiao Shi saw the man in front of him clearly, only to see that the robe and cloak on his body were covered with dust and blood, his hair was unkempt, his eyes were bloodshot, the blue and black stubble had covered his originally smooth chin, and there was a blood stain on his cheek.

After knowing each other for so many years, Xiao had never seen him look so embarrassed, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Lord Wang! What happened to you? But hurt? ”

"No problem." Zhong Hanchi waved his hand and sat down at the table, "It's all other people's blood." ”

"Go get some hot water and get some food in the kitchen. Quick, go! Xiao instructed the maid as he stepped forward and removed the cloak from his body.

Half crouched in front of him, his hand trembling slightly touching his cheek, he lost weight, his cheeks collapsed, and his cheekbones appeared higher. The stubble was hard and a little prickly, and it was even more piercing to her heart, making her feel a throbbing pain, and tears couldn't help but flow.

originally thought that she didn't care about him for a long time, but at this time she knew better that this man was her poison, and she couldn't get past it in her life.

The hand was grasped by a rough man, and a hoarse voice sounded overhead: "What are you crying about!" This king is not dead! ”

"Lord Wang......" tears poured out even more.

Zhong Hanchi pulled Xiao up and put him on his lap, wrapped his hands around her waist, and put his chin into her neck: "Xilong lost ......"

His voice was as calm as if he were talking about what he had eaten for dinner, but Xiao could feel that his heart was already full of devastation and dripping blood.

Raised his hand around his neck and stroked the man's messy hair: "Isn't there still the three cities in the northwest, don't worry, let's take our time." ”

Xiao didn't understand the situation in the world, the strife between friends and enemies, she just wanted to comfort the man who was hugging her at the moment. This kind of pure heartfelt hug is something they have never had before, warm and heartwarming, which makes her involuntarily greedy, and even hopes that time can stand still forever in this moment.

"Princess, the hot water is ready." The maid's words broke the peace in the house.

"Send it in." Xiao got down from Zhong Hanchi's body, asked people to carry hot water into the clean room at the back, and ordered someone to call the nurse over.

Zhong Hanchi got up and went to the couch, squatted down and looked at the sleeping little person on the couch, and wanted to reach out to touch her face, but realized that he was dirty, and retracted his hand.

"The prince will take a bath first, and then hug her when Ming'er wakes up." Xiao asked the nurse to take the child away, and the little one did not wake up from beginning to end, and slept sweetly with his mouth pouted.

waved away all his subordinates, Zhong Hanchi let Xiao Shi pull him into the clean room, personally dressed him, and served him to bathe.

Soaking in warm water, he felt like he was finally a little alive again.

After the imperial army broke through the Pyeongtaek Pass, Xilong was in danger, and he had to order conscription. However, the land of Xilong is vast and sparsely populated, and the number of levies that can be levied cannot meet the needs of the war. The forcibly requisitioned soldiers were even more useless, and thus destroyed the prestige that had been established by the common people with great difficulty.

The people below were anxious for quick success, and in order to rapidly expand the number of people, they did not hesitate to include teenagers and even younger children in the barracks, causing the people to complain. And Murong Chu had already sent people to infiltrate Xilong, and took this opportunity to spread the unkind and unjust remarks of the Jin king's army.

Losing the hearts of the people, the army of King Jin began to struggle to move an inch, and was defeated and retreated under the pressure of the imperial army. When he retreated to a small border town in Xilong, the generals who didn't want to defend the city defected, and if it weren't for the desperate protection of the guards around him, he probably wouldn't have known where he would have been buried.

fled all the way back to Ding'an City, and there were not many people left around him. Fortunately, there are still tens of thousands of horses left in the three cities in the northwest, but I don't know if he can make a comeback with these tens of thousands of people.

Xiao Shi spread his hair and scrubbed it carefully and gently, he had already checked it when he was dressing him up just now, and there were no other scars on his body except for a few bruises, so he was relieved.

The man seemed too tired and leaned against the edge of the barrel and let her wash him. Wash your hair and spread it on the water, scrub it with a soft cloth soaked in water, and from time to time soft hands touch your skin.

Zhong Hanchi suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, and he saw a face that had long been familiar but unfamiliar.
