"I'm afraid I won't be able to sit in the carriage." Meng Dazhu said with a smile: "Don't worry, with my general's presence, I will definitely be able to escort Master Ji back home safely." ”

The horse's back was bumpy, and the cold wind of the North was in his ears.

The girl's robe had already been soaked in muddy water, and she was shaking uncontrollably at this time.

Xiao Mu held the reins in one hand, neatly untied his cloak with the other, and threw it to her-

"Put it on."

His voice was as calm and emotionless as ever, as clear and straightforward as a distant Sanskrit sound.

Heng Yu said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Master Hou."

His cloak was large and heavy, and the moment he wrapped it up, it almost cut off the cold outside.

Heng Yu suddenly thought of that rainy night eight years ago, the young man's coat in the broken temple, which was the only warmth she could feel in the endless cold night.

Xiao Mu lowered his eyes and glanced at it.

The girl was so cold that she couldn't wrap herself tighter, and she was only willing to show half of her head.

After a while, the owner of the head became warmer, and his voice became less shaky—

"By the way, why did Master Hou come here?"

"I happened to be passing by."

Heng Yu seemed to believe it or not: "This is not the way to Yingzhou Daying, is Master Hou passing through here for another important matter?"

Xiao Mu let out a faint "um" noncommittally.

Heng Yu also didn't ask any more questions with interest.

Her body was a little warmer, and her consciousness had regained a lot, and she could smell some blood on the cloak she was wrapping, and other than that, there seemed to be a faint smell of medicine.

In addition to her outstanding memory since she was a child, her five senses are also sharper than ordinary people.

But how can it smell like medicine?

"Master Hou is injured?" Hengyu asked.

Although she was asking, her tone was firm.

Xiao Mu's hand holding the reins tightened slightly, and there was a slight vigilance in his tone: "Why did Master Ji ask—"

Facing his defense, Heng Yu said frankly: "I smell the medicinal gas on Hou Ye's body. ”

"......" Xiao Mu subconsciously turned his head and sniffed the position of his left shoulder.

I can't smell anything.

And this is clearly a rainy night on the outskirts, and many smells are mixed - is she a dog's nose?

The afterglow swept to his sniffing of his shoulder, Heng Yu inexplicably felt a little stupid, which was very inconsistent with his own image, and couldn't help laughing silently, and sighed: "The general has taken every precaution, but he still accidentally fell for my trick, now I know where the general is injured." ”

This is obviously a joke, she knows what if he is injured, Xiao Mu laughed meaninglessly: "Yes, Master Ji is so resourceful, it is Xiao who is invincible." ”

The atmosphere was inexplicably relaxed and harmonious.

In the next moment, Heng Yu was about to tear off his cloak and said, "The general is injured, let's put it on, I already feel warm-"

Before she could finish her sentence, she had just torn off half of her cloak when she felt a hand pull it up for her, and even completely wrapped her head and face.

The voice above his head said, "I am a martial artist, and I am only slightly injured." ”

Hengyu couldn't resist him, so he gave up.

The wind was bitterly cold, and she silently pulled out the sides of her cloak, wrapped it lightly around his hands that were at her side, holding the reins, and pressed the corners on the horse's back with her own hands.

Xiao Mu was a little stunned.

The cloak blocked the cold, and his hands holding the reins gradually became less stiff and cold, like the first wind of spring, slowly melting the frozen stream.

And after accepting the kindness of others, do not forget to think about the other person's actions as much as possible......

Xiao Mu's mind flashed the old picture again.

Is it her?

The wind gradually stopped, and the dark clouds were blown away, and after the clouds were lifted, the night revealed its original clear appearance, dotted with a few stars.

The gate of Yingzhou, which had long been closed, did not dare to open in front of everyone without any delay.

"See...... Is there someone in front of Xiao Hou? ”

As soon as the group left, the guards guarding the city exploded.

"See, see, see! I deliberately took two more looks, and it seemed that I was still a little Langjun when I was dressed up! ”

"The rumors are ...... Is it true? ”

“……”

Heng Yu didn't know that his man's robe would sit on Xiao Mu again today, and after getting off Xiao Mu's horse in front of the Hou Mansion, he went to the front hall with Yan Jin with Xiao Mu.

The men in black were handed over to Wang Jingyong for interrogation.

Heng Yu did not obstruct it, Xiao Mu's subordinates were better at interrogation than her, and she was anxious to know where these people came from - and she believed that if these people were really related to her grandfather's affairs back then, Xiao Mu would still hand them over to her to deal with.

When Yin Hai heard about this, he hurried over.

Yan Ming followed, his eyes were a little anxious, and his steps were hurried.

"General—"

When he entered the hall, he was about to say something, but he had to swallow back at Xiao Mu's reminding eyes.

There are still outsiders in the hall.

Yan Ming could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and wait on one side.

Yan Jin expressed his gratitude to Xiao Mu again, and his face was full of surprise: "...... Those people clearly want people's lives, and they don't know where they came from! ”

Xiao Mu looked at the handsome young man who was a little embarrassed at this moment, and asked, "Yan Gongzi expected that something would happen on this trip?" ”

Yan Jin pointed to Hengyu: "How can I have this ability, it's Ah Heng-"

Xiao Mu turned his gaze to Heng Yu.

In the hall, there was a charcoal pot and a smoked cage, and the girl in the crow's green robe sat upright in the chair, and two strands of hair tied up with ribbons fell on her cheeks—

She confessed: "In recent days, I have always suspected that someone is secretly following me. ”

"......" Wang Jingyong felt weak for a while when he heard this, and looked at his general silently.

Xiao Mu's face did not change, and even frowned slightly: "So the Ji painter chose to go out of the city, creating an opportunity for the other party to attack in the middle of the night, using himself as a bait to lure people in the shadows to appear?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Mu: "Why is Ji Painter like this? ”

A girl's family realized that they were being targeted by gangsters, and instead of asking for help, they didn't try to avoid trouble, but directly lured the other party to appear in such a dangerous way?

Although she made sufficient preparations in advance and secretly arranged for people to collect the net, no matter how good the net is, as long as she uses herself as bait, it is always risky.

"Only those who have been thieves for a thousand days, and those who have not been thieves for a thousand days, can prevent future troubles." The girl replied lightly: "Besides, I wonder who they are." ”

Xiao Mu looked at her - is it really that simple?

He suppressed the undeserved emotions in his heart and said calmly: "Who they are, Master Ji will soon know." ”

When the words fell, Yu Guang swept the still slightly wet robe on her body, wanted to say something, and paused.

In the end, I glanced at Yinhai.

Yin Hai raised his eyebrows slightly, and reminded with a smile: "The interrogation takes time, and it is cold at night, so Master Ji might as well go back and change his clothes first——"

That's what the general means, right?

I'm afraid that people will freeze, so just say it.
