As soon as he stepped into the back hall, before Ouyang Jing could say his purpose, the old man in charge of the shopkeeper spoke first: "If Miss wants to find the manager, please go back." The chief manager was sent out of the city by the young master to run errands, and he has been gone for more than a month. ”

Been gone for so long? No wonder she was kidnapped and injured, but he never appeared. I thought it was because the palace was too tightly guarded, and he couldn't break in. Hey, I don't know what to say, I was worried about his injuries before she left.

"Forget it. I'll come back when he comes back. ”

Ouyang Jing walked out helplessly, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly asked with the mentality of trying it out: "Then do you know where my brother is?" ”

"In the barracks, of course." This time, it was the three of them who answered at the same time.

Ouyang Jing looked at the housekeeper and Ningxia beside her in some surprise, it turned out that she was the only one who didn't know?

"You know, you don't say it sooner." Really, she ran so far.

The housekeeper lowered his head and smiled, and Ningxia retorted helplessly: "Miss, you didn't ask, and you didn't say that you wanted to find the eldest young master when you left the house." ”

The army was stationed in a remote area, and the steward called a carriage to take them there. To Ouyang Jing's surprise, after the soldiers went in to report, it was Ouyang Qi who came out to pick her up in person.

"Jing'er."

"Brother~" Ouyang Jing happily ran over and crashed into Ouyang Qi's arms.

Ouyang Qi's face turned red, he was still not used to this sister's unscrupulous intimate behavior, but he couldn't bear to push her away, his eyes swept lightly, and the people around him lowered their heads very consciously and didn't see anything.

"Why did you get out?"

Ouyang Jing was stunned for a moment, how could she feel that her brother also knew that he was grounded? Have they already united?

Ouyang Qi took her hand and walked back to his tent, looked at her puzzled look, and kindly explained:

"I went to the palace to see you when you had an accident at the racecourse before. However, he was stopped by the prince at the door. He said that if I don't have the heart to help, it's better not to enter the palace, otherwise it will only hurt you.

He said he would protect you, so I think you'd be grounded in the palace. ”

Ouyang Jing nodded, and took the water poured by Ouyang Qi, but there were mixed feelings in her heart, some surprised, some moved, and some pity.

Once Ye Moxuan tried his best to use her to force Ouyang Qi into the palace, just to make the world think that Ouyang Qi was a royal force and force him to help the emperor.

Now Ouyang Qi personally sent him to the door, but he turned him away from the palace. At this time, if Ouyang Qi enters the palace, even if he won't help in the future, at least in the short term, the prime minister's jealousy of his forces will be slightly restricted, isn't it?

But he refused so decisively, just because he was afraid that Ouyang Qi would be too good with her and would cause her to be killed.

On today's trip, she really didn't come wrong. If he could give up Ouyang Qi's forces for her, then she could also win Ouyang Qi's forces for him.

"Brother, do you still want to continue to sit and watch the tiger fight?"

Ouyang Qi's expression was as usual, "What does Jing'er want to say?" ”

"Jing'er is just an ordinary girl, and she doesn't understand the big truths that you men consider. Jing'er only knows that the world is peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

The elder brother did not inherit the family business but chose to enter the court as an official, isn't it to put on armor and go into battle to keep the peace of the people?

I haven't seen the prime minister, and I've only seen the emperor twice, Jing'er doesn't know them, but my brother has been an official for many years, who can keep this Feng Kingdom peaceful and prosperous, my brother knows very well, isn't it? ”

Ouyang Jing looked at Ouyang Qi and smiled slightly, got up and walked to the table, and gently stroked a sword on the sword stand, although the sword body was a little old, it was spotless, which showed that the user cherished it very much.

"Holding a sword to kill the enemy, protecting the family and defending the country, this kind of thing, Jing'er is probably hopeless in this life." With a look of regret on her face, Ouyang Jing suddenly jumped back in front of Ouyang Qi and smiled playfully, "But I don't feel sorry for it, because there is not only one way to protect the peace of the world." ”

"I really can't help you." Ouyang Qi smiled, and his hand gently rubbed the black hair on the top of her head, full of pampering.

He understood that Ouyang Jing said so much just to let him help the emperor. In fact, even if Ouyang Jing didn't come today, he would have made a good decision.

In the past, he could not care about anything, because Ouyang Jing's martial arts were not weak enough to protect himself, and his methods were ruthless, even if others were not harmed by her, why worry about her.

But although Ouyang Jing is weak now, she is simple and cute, and she usually looks confused, but she is surprisingly smart. Let him break his bones and want to love her well.

Ouyang Jing had already been injured twice, and even if he continued to hold his ground, the other party would still beat Ouyang Jing's idea. Rather than continue to be beaten passively, he would rather take the initiative and protect the people he wants to protect.

"Brother, you're so nice!" With a happy smile, Ouyang Jing took advantage of the situation and got into his arms again, and said coquettishly. She had already thought of a bunch of words to persuade Ouyang Qi, but she didn't expect him to agree so refreshingly.

The two chatted in the tent for a while, Ouyang Qi was concerned about her injuries and worried about her life in the palace, and she reported them truthfully. By the time I left the tent, the sun had already set.

Ouyang Jing thought, oh no, after playing outside for so long, you won't be angry when you go back to Ye Moxuan, right?

Walking to the carriage, seeing that the housekeeper and Ningxia both looked anxious and panicked, she confirmed her conjecture, Ye Moxuan must be very angry.

Hurriedly saying goodbye to Ouyang Qi, got into the carriage and hurried to the palace, at this time she didn't care at all that her bones were about to fall apart.

As soon as he got out of the carriage and saw the two people guarding the door of the palace kneeling respectfully, Ouyang Jing chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt that he didn't want to go inside.

"Butler, I'd better go through the back door. I'm used to going through the back door. ”

This time, the housekeeper also followed Ningxia to learn 'bad', but did not let her go with a smile but stared at her with Ningxia with two eyes aggrieved, and the look in his eyes obviously read: Princess, can you bear the trouble yourself.

Ouyang Jing was helpless, there was no way back, she could only choose to move forward.

As soon as she approached the hall, she saw people kneeling on the ground in the hall, including the guards of Moyuan, the housekeepers, the maids, and the ten people who pretended to be her today. Ye Moxuan sat in the middle, his face was cold, comparable to the North Pole.

Ouyang Jing only felt that her legs were frozen and stiff, and she couldn't lift them anymore, so she took a small step with great effort, stopped at the door, and whispered, "I'm back." ”

"Where did you go?" Ye Moxuan raised his eyes and asked coldly.

Before Ouyang Jing could answer, he only heard a pop on both sides of his body, and Ningxia and the housekeeper both knelt down and shouted: "Please forgive the prince, the slave is willing to be punished." ”

Ouyang Jing was stunned for a moment, wouldn't this attitude of admitting mistakes be too good? The housekeeper has been in the palace for so long, he must know Ye Moxuan very well before he did this, right? Then if she does the same, will Ye Moxuan not be angry with her?

Thinking like this, she was really ready to kneel.
