Lydia stuck out her tongue and turned away. The expressionless face that didn't smile was looking at her from behind.

A few days ago, when there was a food crisis, she thought day and night that no smile would come to her aid; But Mrs. Tie in the main hall took the opportunity to kidnap the proprietress as a hostage, which made her afraid to reprimand without laughing.

But what should come will come, Lydia lowered her head and apologized in a low voice as if the child who didn't do his homework was caught by the teacher: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through......"

Buxiao reached out and lifted her face, "You're doing a great job." ”

"But I almost killed the proprietress ......"

"That's not the hostess." Not smiling didn't mean to blame her in the slightest.

"Huh?" Lydia froze.

Bu Xiao led Lydia to the shady place under the city wall, "Before leaving the Scarlet Leaf Forest, I have asked Loach to arrange three stand-ins to protect the proprietress of the city. ”

The arrangement of stand-ins was beyond Lydia's expectations, but I didn't expect this overly cautious guy to arrange three!

A doubt suddenly rose in Lydia's heart: "What about the men and horses that 'Giant Bear' Todd led to attack Kushui Village?" ”

"I was killed by Green as soon as I got out of town." Buxiao remembered that Lydia didn't recognize Green, and explained, "The kid who can be invisible." ”

Lydia's mouth opened wide, her impression of Green was just a squinting and grinning little boy, but she didn't expect him to be such a terrible killer.

Buxiao continued: "The muscular man mentioned that you would attack the city today, so I asked Loach and the others to pretend to be triumphant commandos and lead those three children into the Iron Lady's palace to lurk. ”

Lydia vaguely understood the intention of not laughing: "So...... Whether or not I have the means to break through the outer city, you can directly behead and kill the Iron Lady......"

"I can't."

She bit her lip and frowned, trying not to let her tears fall: "...... Am I really just a worthless redundant character......"

"Listen to me." Buxiao reached out and pinched Lydia's face, "I said: I can't." ”

Lydia was still immersed in the emotions of the tragic heroine, and just made up an eight-o'clock plot of "I have tried my best but it was useless", but without laughing, she forcibly changed the channel.

Bu smiled and let go of her face: "Without your strong siege, Lady Iron would not have been cornered, let alone sent a raid team to win in a delusional way." ”

Lydia snorted a few times, and though she was comforted a little, she was dwarfed by the subtlety of not smiling. She choked up and said, "But I almost messed up...... I still don't deserve to be a commander......"

"People are born whole, not perfect." Bu smiled and looked into Lydia's eyes, "You're excellent." ”

Lydia sniffed again, stared at her with red eyes, and asked, "Really?" ”

Don't smile and have a serious face: "Excellent enough for me to admire." ”

No one expected that the always cold and arrogant non-smiling could say such a thing, and Lydia's face, which was almost crying, suddenly became dazed. She couldn't help but slap herself in the face.

Hurt.

Not a dream?

"What you just said...... Can you say that again? Lydia pleaded.

The face that doesn't smile is still serious and serious: "Excellent enough for me to admire." ”

Lydia's heart almost bloomed, and her eyelashes were still with tears, but her eyes were shining with joy. She pleaded eagerly, "Can you say it again...... Just again? ”

"It's the same a few times." The expressionless smile wiped away the tears on her face, "Your excellence makes me admire." ”

The corners of Lydia's mouth couldn't help but rise, but unfortunately the world hadn't invented a video camera yet, otherwise she would have to take a picture of the scene just now and treasure it.

The two walked slowly along the path.

"Chilong told me about your deeds of rescuing the boss lady and the refugees." Buxiao took a deep breath, "I thought that the 'Princess of Fire' was just a legend in the mouth of the bard, but I didn't expect that Lydia in reality was far better than the legendary 'Princess of Fire'. ”

Lydia's face flushed, her fingers fiddling with the string around her waist. My mind was blank, and I just knew that I would go forward without smiling stupidly.

"Originally, it was just for this girl to experience what it was like to be a commander again, and to take Shamanli back to Bull Town. In this war, you have really shown the talent of a commander-in-chief. Bu smiled at this dilapidated earthen city, and there were still mottled traces of war on the city walls, "I didn't expect you to secretly do so many things for me." ”

"I shouldn't have done anything......" Lydia's eyes wandered, and she smiled secretly with her head down.

"Military, educational." Bu smiled at the wind and sand outside the city and muttered, "I can arrange such a magical military formation, educate those elders, and the next trial is about to open the door to the 'rule of law'." ”

Although Lydia is still reserved and elegant on the surface, she is so happy that she just wants to roll on the floor!

"It's just that if it goes on like this, I'm worried about your reputation ......" The hand that didn't smile touched the two gold coins in his pocket again.

Openly defeat the army of the Black Steel Empire, and judge the nobles of the clan. Once this kind of thing spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar. If Lydia were just an unknown knight, she would have the title of "princess" in the gods, and if she wasn't careful, it would cause a confrontation between the two countries.

"The more you do for the Red Pavilion, the more dangerous your situation becomes." Buxiao seemed to have made a lot of determination, clutching the two gold coins, "So ......"

"Are you happy, then?" Lydia asked suddenly.

Don't laugh and froze.

He looked at the unreasonable woman in front of him, who was now standing there with an earnest expression, smiling like a child waiting to be praised.

"I'm ......" The mouth of the non-smiling mouth suddenly broke out of the control of his brain, and he actually said the true thoughts that he didn't want to confide in at all, "I'm very happy." ”

Lydia's smile shone like the sun, so bright that she could barely open her eyes without smiling. Looking at her appearance, Bu smiled silently and released the two gold coins in his pocket.

"When the Iron Lady is judged, we will go to Chishuiwan and beat those traitors to the ground." Lydia dropped the words, playfully lifted her dress, and retired with the courtesy of a princess.

Looking at her back bouncing away, she breathed a sigh of relief helplessly without smiling. He thinks he is proficient in strategy, why is he always willing to bow down in front of this woman?

Finks quietly poked his head out of the corner of the roadside, "For her?" ”

Don't smile and shake your head.

Finks was slightly displeased: "Why? ”

"She's useful." Buxiao forcibly found an excuse to come out, "Shi Nan Fort may not be able to hold for ten days, and she and the cavalry need to rush there." ”

Finx's mind might not have been able to see through the lie, but her woman's instincts still prompted her to snort sourly.
