Once you've become a bodyguard, you'll probably have little time to yourself. So under the pretext that I needed to deal with some personal matters, I took two hours off from Yuanji and went to my cottage in Dading City on the outskirts of the city.

As soon as I entered the door, the fiery figure of the red flame rushed towards me. Since I joined the He family's army, the military camp has strict discipline, and I can't go out often, so Chiyan is basically in a state of free-range. Fortunately, Beidi is its birthplace, and it is very familiar with several nearby mountains, so it is not a problem to feed itself. Of course, I usually try to find time to stay here for a while.

"However, I may not be able to come to see you as often in the future." I touched the prickly mane on Chiyan's head, and said with some reluctance. However, I still have excitement and anticipation in my heart to become He Liancheng's attendant.

After a few months of free-range, Chiyan's body has grown a lot and become stronger. A year ago, when it was brought to the wedding banquet of King Xuan and Qianmo, it was only the size of a little fox, but now it can easily run around with me. But it also became more and more dependent on me, and when I said that I couldn't come here to see it often, it roared a few times, obviously unhappy.

I soothed it, fed it to its fill, and played with it in the courtyard of the hut for a while, and soon it was time to go back to the barracks.

"Chiyan, you have to be obedient, take care of yourself, do you know?" I followed its mane and stroked its body, trying to erase its loss and sadness.

When I went out, it reluctantly followed behind me, and there was a "whining" sound in its throat, as if pleading. My heart was sour, but I deliberately put on a straight face and urged it to go back. With Chiyan's current size, it would be very conspicuous if he appeared on the street. After all, the fire is now almost extinct in Beidi, and its appearance looks so fierce that I am afraid that it will cause panic among passers-by, and I am afraid that it will bring danger.

Seeing that I was angry with it, Chiyan had to turn around and go back to the house sullenly, his big round eyes full of grievances. Although I was reluctant, but seeing that it was getting late, if I didn't rush back, I was afraid that it would be more than the time to take leave, so I had to be ruthless, and saw that Chiyan had already entered the house, so I closed the door and walked out.

The hut is located on the outskirts of the city, and the surrounding area is already sparsely populated, and at this time it is twilight, and passers-by are barely visible. I hurried to the direction of the He family's army camp, but was startled by a call behind me.

"Miss Ye, are you ...... Miss Ye? ”

I paused, and my heart chuckled. Although this voice sounds a little familiar, I know that I can't turn back at this moment, and I can't stop, because I'm not Ye Qinglan now.

After a brief pause, I continued to pretend to be calm. But the man behind him probably did a light trick, and in the blink of an eye, he fell in front of me, blocking my way.

I looked up, and sure enough, it was an acquaintance, the prince of Xiliang Yanping, Murong Jing.

Murong Jing was stunned for a moment when he saw my face, then his eyes widened instantly, pointed at me, and said in surprise: "You...... You are not the one from the forward battalion of the He family's army...... The soldier's name is ...... What's it called......"

"It turned out to be Murong Shizi." I also pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and bowed to him and said, "Murong Shizi really has a good memory, the little one is named Shanfeng, and he came out to do something on the orders of the commander. It was getting late, and the little one was in a hurry to rush back to the barracks to resume his life and retire. ”

I took a step forward and continued to walk, but when I passed by Murong Jing, he grabbed my arm. He asked me in a calm voice: "Miss Ye, what are your intentions to join the He family army in disguise as a man?" ”

I froze, but I still denied it. "The little one doesn't know what Murong Shizi is talking about."

But as soon as I finished speaking, Chi Yan spread his hooves and rushed up, grinning at Murong Jing and roaring a few times, as if he wanted to attack him, but because I was restrained by Murong Jing, I didn't dare to act rashly. Murong Jing grabbed my arm tightly, looked at Chi Yan, then raised his eyes to look directly at me, and said, "Do you still want to deny this, Miss Ye?" ”

I sighed. It seems that he can't escape in front of Murong Jing today. When I was in Mocheng, I had a few encounters with him, so I naturally knew that in today's world, Chiyan would only listen to me, Ye Qinglan, alone.

Chi Yan probably thought that Murong Jing wanted to hurt me, so he raised his upper body, raised his head and roared at him, maintaining the posture that he was about to pounce on him and bite his neck at any moment. I reached out and patted Chi Yan's head, calmed it down, and said coldly to Murong Jing, "What does Murong Shizi want?" ”

When Murong Jing saw that I had admitted my identity, his handsome face immediately changed to a look of joy. "Miss Ye's disguise technique is simply superb, if I hadn't seen this fire sword following you just now, I really wouldn't have recognized it at all."

I gave him a cold look and didn't say anything. Murong Jing was not hit by my cold attitude at all, but leaned closer and whispered: "Although I don't know why you want to disguise yourself as a man to enter the He family's army, Miss Ye, don't worry, I will definitely help you keep it a secret and will not tell anyone about it." ”

Murong Jing patted his chest and swore to me. However, I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why did Murong Shizi help me?" ”

I asked myself if I had no friendship with Murong Jing, at most, I was bitten by a poisonous insect when he was in Mocheng last time, and I was ordered by Qianmo to send him medicine a few times. Why is he so zealous to help me hide it?

Murong Jing's eyes widened, as if he thought that I shouldn't be ignorant. "Because I like you, Miss Ye, I told you when I was in Mocheng, in fact, I have liked you since the last time I saw you taming the fire in Xuanwang's Mansion......"

"Murong Shizi, I'm joking with you." I interrupted his gibberish, grimaced, and said, "Anyway, thank you for keeping it a secret for me." I must hurry back to the barracks as soon as possible, so I will say goodbye and take my leave. ”

I remember when I was in Mocheng, once I went to the other hospital to give him medicine, and he seemed to have said to me that he liked me, but I only thought that he was seriously injured and delirious, and I didn't take it to heart. How could a son of a wealthy and noble man like Murong Jing understand the true meaning of the word "like".

I broke free of his grip on my arm and crouched down to stare at Red Flame, threatening that if it didn't run out of obedience, I wouldn't want it again. Under my combination of soft and hard work, Chiyan rubbed in my arms a few times, and obediently turned around and went back.

I watched Chi Yan turn around and enter the hut step by step, then nodded lightly at Murong Jing, turned around and continued to walk in the direction of the barracks.

Murong Jing hurriedly followed, walked beside me step by step, and whispered: "Miss Ye, it's not easy to come out of the military camp, so let's do it, I'll usually help you take care of Chiyan, don't worry, I will definitely serve it well, how about it?" ”

Regarding Murong Jing's almost stalking, I could only helplessly support my forehead. Recalling Murong Yan's initiative to give him a hug to He Liancheng, I suddenly felt deeply that the children of the Murong family were really straightforward enough in the expression of love.

However, if he can help me take care of Chiyan, it would be a good thing, and I can save myself a worry. With that in mind, I stopped, turned to him, and thanked him.

Murong Jing waved his hand indifferently, his expression was extremely chic, but as if he suddenly thought of something, his face instantly turned white again, "That...... Miss Ye, shouldn't Chiyan not welcome me? ”

Seeing his stunned appearance, I secretly amused. Is this guy just thinking about this now? Chi Yan is an ancient fierce beast, with a fierce and abnormal temperament, if Murong Jing goes to find it alone without me, it is certain that he will be attacked by it.

The more Murong Jing thought about it, the more worried he became, and he looked at me pitifully, and the corners of his mouth drooped. I turned my head and ignored him, and walked forward quickly.

"Miss Ye, you wait for me......" Murong Jing refused to give up, and followed me all the way like a dogskin plaster until near the barracks.

I really couldn't bear it, if it weren't for the fact that Chiyan still needed him to take care of him, I would have already lit his dumb hole and thrown him far away. Taking a deep breath, I patiently said to him, "Ten days later, at noon, you will wait for me outside the hut just now. ”
