Chapter XVII
"As long as the Hou Ye agrees, the women have their own opinions."
Ming Bijin is still that cold and detached appearance, obviously the distance is very close, but Xu Jingxian is stunned, and there is an insurmountable gap between them.
He reacted instantly, she may have misunderstood what happened just now, and hurriedly said: "I wasn't acting just now, I really want you to ......"
"That may be the mastery of Master Hou, and it is normal for us mortals to not be able to distinguish the real from the fake."
Ming Rujin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the resentment in his eyes was covered by his lowered eyes: "At least I have been taught." β
In the months of the wedding, he was also soft on her, but in that scene, she was the only one who took it seriously. Ming Rujin laughed at his own naivety.
Xu Jingxian suddenly laughed as well, short and without warning, a faint bitterness surging in her chest.
He gritted his back teeth, thinking that as soon as he heard that she was on the mountain, he would come alone, and he was afraid of any danger to her at the first time, and he was worried about her and put himself in danger of being surrounded by mountain bandits. She is good, and in one sentence she turned all his thoughts into the acting she had taught.
She wasn't happy, but he was uneasy, even if his kindness wasn't understood, he didn't even have a euphemistic word of thanks, what was this?
The whispers passed away with the wind, and he felt ridiculous that one day he would need someone else's reason.
"Give me a reason." Xu Jingxian raised his eyes, his gaze locked tightly on Ming Rujin.
"I need my own strength to protect me and Brother Ming. I don't want to encounter this kind of thing in the future, and I can't do anything about it. β
Ming Bijin didn't lie, she had planned to do so from the beginning, so she said those words to the second and third masters last night.
This reason did not give Xu Jingxian a peace of mind, but made him feel like a fish in his throat.
"I don't need them, I can too." Xu Jingxian spoke extremely quickly, with a little urgency, "I can protect the safety of your mother and sonββ"
As he spoke, he leaned in front of her, but she subconsciously retreated step by step.
"Master Hou." Ming Rujin raised his hand and stopped Xu Jingxian's footsteps, his eyes were full of indifference, "I used to think that my mother was right, marry a man, eat and dress, and feel at ease and have something to rely on." But...... You didn't want to protect me before, and you won't need it anymore. β
The surroundings seemed to be stuffed with a large ball of cotton, soft and fluttering, but stuffy.
Xu Jingxian felt that there was a breath in his chest that he couldn't swallow or lift, so he only wanted to beat his chest.
It wasn't until Xu Si, who came up the mountain later, that Qingyun had been rescued, and after he and Xu San looked at each other and nodded, he came to Xu Jingxian's side and whispered a few words to break the dull atmosphere.
Only then did he realize that he had nothing to do with her.
"Master Hou, those six people have indeed only gone up the mountain in the last few days."
Needless to say, there are people who can be placed in it.
The three masters are also inseparable from it, for the sake of Ming Rujin's efforts to protect them, he honestly explained, "I have received a favor from someone and promised that one day, I can help him do something when I can do it."
Robbing Miss Ming seems to put her in danger, but it is not enough to hurt her life, and its purpose is only to allow Hou Ye to marry the county lord of Qingping with peace of mind.
If the Hou Ye can open the net, I Hehong and Xiong Mo will be the guardian girl for three years. β
This is a half-truth, and what is false is that it is clear that there is no return. It is really the people in the rivers and lakes who pay attention to freedom and Cigna, and three years is already the biggest bottom line of Hehong. The two of them, plus the thirty-six brothers under them, are enough to make Ming like Jin worry-free, unless the person sent by the other party is a master of one enemy and one hundred.
Xu Jingxian nodded and handed these people over to Ming Bijin. Since she didn't believe him, he could only let her go first, but he wanted to keep Xu San among these people, just in case.
As a result, Ming Bijin still refused, but handed over these people to Qingyun, and asked her to find someone in the dart bureau and take them to the place she had already thought of, which was not needed for the time being.
After going down the mountain, Xu Jingxian always wanted to bandage Ming Nijin's hand, but Ming Nijin only let Qingyun get closer, and his words were all in and out: Master Hou, we are already strangers, if it weren't for Brother Ming, I wouldn't have appeared again.
The third master copied the trail when he went up the mountain like a brocade, so he arrived in one day and one night. But with so many people going back, the trail naturally couldn't be walked, and in order to take care of Ming Bijin, the journey naturally slowed down.
But in the evening of this day, he was intercepted by a group of people.
The other party seemed to be a little surprised when he saw Xu Jingxian return safely.
"Uncle Guo's Mansion guards Li Chao, in the name of the county lord of Qingping, came to ...... Help Hou Ye. β
Li Chao lowered his head and hid his expression. The county lord of Qingping explained that An Guohou would be in danger, and specially asked him to bring people to save people, but now it seems that things are a little different from what the county lord expected.
Xu Jingxian understood after a little thought, and the corners of his eyes suppressed a touch of disgust under his eyes.
The two chatted for a few words, and Xu Jingxian pointed out the six people who had been killed to the general.
In the distance, Qingyun, who had changed into men's clothes and was mixed in the army, turned his head and chatted with Ming Bijin, "Lord Qingping, it's too hateful." β
It's understandable that everyone has something they want. The county lord of Qingping was nothing more than after she stirred up the big wedding, and he was a little uneasy under his arrogance, so he thought of such a play.
Let people find the three masters, in order to repay Enjia and make money to support their brothers, kidnapped her, first planned to get rid of her, and then planned to save people when Xu Jingxian was trapped, after all, the news of the bandits spread to the mountains early in the morning.
Anyway, Ming Bijin's words saved her from the dire situation, and by the way, she was recognized by the two masters, and she added some strength to herself.
It's just that she hasn't understood until now, even if the county lord of Qingping does these calculations, she is not qualified to let Xu Jingxian, the Marquis of Anguo, come to Hulu Mountain to suppress bandits.
Unless, there's someone up there who intervenes.
The two parties converged, and when they saw that it was getting late, they planned to find a nearby flat water source to rest on the spot for a night.
The night was cold and dewy, and Qingyun protected Ming Rujin to rest, but suddenly heard the sound of soldiers fighting outside.
Ming Rujin's whole person was on guard, and he immediately woke up, and when he got up, he saw Xu Jingxian who was walking quickly, "There are assassins, you are with me." β
Ming Bijin would not joke with his life, so he naturally followed behind him, but he didn't say a word, said nothing, didn't ask anything, and was quiet like a little white rabbit.
Xu Jingxian led the two of them to the six mountain bandits they caught, and before they arrived, they could smell a strong and pungent smell of blood, which could not be dispersed in this open wilderness for a long time.
The light of the bright brocade eyes condensed, and the six people in front of him were actually lifeless, and before they could think of a reason, they heard a chill in their ears, and Qingyun's soft whip had wrapped the arrow feathers towards the bright brocade on the whip.
Xu Jingxian looked at the arrow feather, and the coolness in his eyes could freeze all the air around him.
After a while, the person was arrested, and Xu Jingxian's close guard Xu Si removed the man's chin, making him unable to take poison and commit suicide.
