Chapter 22: Back to the Mountains * Dark Tide

After a day and night in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Zhixi became more and more reluctant to leave her mother.

On the occasion of separation, she specially told her mother to take good care of her body, instructed the grandmothers and maidservants around her mother, and asked them to be cautious of their mother's medicinal food, and vaguely proposed to beware of someone poisoning.

Mu Cheng doesn't have much affection for Mu Zhixi's daughter, but he is quite respectful to Xiao Yi, the king of war.

He stood at the door and greeted him, stammering in the face of Xiao Yi.

When the prime minister's wife saw that the curtain of the carriage was lowered, she was in a very bitter mood.

sent Xi'er away, she was alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Alas, as long as Xi'er can be happy, as a mother, she has nothing to worry about.

The carriage gradually moved away, and in the carriage, seeing that Mu Zhixi was in a low mood, Xiao Yi pretended to comfort him inadvertently.

"The War King's Mansion is only five streets away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can do so at any time. ”

"Really, husband, so you're agreeing to let me go out of the house freely?"

In my memory, since she married Xiao Yiluo in her previous life, she was almost grounded in the War King's Mansion, and it was not easy to go out.

Seeing Mu Zhixi so happy, Xiao Yixi's mood was a little complicated.

He had to suspect that she was happy to facilitate a private meeting with Xiao Chengze when she went out of the house.

Even on days like Guining, Xiao Chengze can openly enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Mu Zhixi, let alone at other times.

The carriage moved smoothly all the way to the palace of the king of war, and the housekeeper and maidservant in the palace were ready to welcome the two masters back to the house.

After Mu Zhixi got out of the carriage, she saw Xiao Yi flying on the horse.

Seeing that he didn't even enter the palace, he was about to ride his horse away, so she hurriedly ran to the front to stop him.

She rushed out suddenly, and if Xiao Yi hadn't grabbed the reins in time, the horse's hooves would have stepped directly over her. "Mu Zhixi, what are you doing! Stopping the king's horse, do you think it's long!" Xiao Yibi was directly angry.

Mu Zhixi asked in turn without fear: "Where is the prince going again?"

"Barracks. Xiao Yiluo replied with two words very indifferently, and then turned the horse's head, wanting to cross Mu Zhixi.

"I'm going too!" Mu Zhixi suddenly made such a request, which made the guards, including Lu Yuan, a little surprised.

The princess is a woman, what do you want to do with the barracks?

"Husband, anyway, I'm bored in the house, so you let me ...... with you"

"Nonsense!" Xiao Yibi interrupted her directly.

was yelled at by him like this, Mu Zhixi's tears immediately slid down her face.

Her tears are like pearls, crystal clear, and the silent cry of grievances is the most distressing and unbearable.

The guards all looked at each other and turned their heads to look at their own prince.

Is this the princess crying?

Xiao Yixi couldn't see Mu Zhixi crying the most, he sat on horseback, looked at her aggrieved condescendingly, and asked patiently: "Do you really want to go to the barracks with this king?"

Mu Zhixi hurriedly nodded and replied very affirmatively: "Mmmm, I want to go!"

She wanted to go to the barracks, not because she was playful and willful, but because on the day of her previous life, Xiao Yiluo was assassinated when she went to the barracks.

She knew she couldn't convince him not to go to the barracks today, so she had to follow along to reassure him.

Even if she doesn't have martial arts and can't protect him, at least she can bandage him and treat his wounds when he is injured, so that he can suffer less pain.

On horseback, Xiao Yi didn't say a word, and directly stretched out his hand.

Mu Zhixi held his hand, felt that he was retracted by an internal force behind him, and then his feet left the ground and landed firmly on the horse's back

She was held in Xiao Yi's arms, and the wind whistled past her ears as the horse ran.

The speed was too fast, she was afraid of falling unsteadily, and subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yi's arm, and didn't even dare to open her eyes at first.

Lu Yuan and several of his guards all rode horses and followed behind Xiao Yi, and the group rode directly in the direction of the city gate.

The guards guarding the city saw from a distance that it was His Royal Highness the King of War, and they did not have a defense, so they directly let it pass.

"See, there is a woman right away from His Royal Highness the War King!"

"Woman?!"

The guards were discussing, what is the situation of His Royal Highness the War King taking a woman out of the city?

In her previous life, Mu Zhixi rarely went out of the city.

So what is it like outside the imperial city, she is really a little unfamiliar.

Outside the city gates, you can rarely see people, and on both sides of the official road are patches of fields, as well as ordinary people who are working in the fields.

The garrison camp was set up in the valley at the end of the official road.

The scenery along the way is very bright, and they seem to be chasing the clouds on the horizon.

When he arrived at the barracks, Xiao Yi put his arm around her waist and flew off the horse with her, his movements were all in one go, and he was very skilled, which made Mu Zhixi wonder if he often rode a horse with others.

The soldiers of the city guard army were full of curiosity when they saw His Royal Highness the King of War coming with a woman.

In the crowd, a familiar figure came out.

It's none other than Xiao Chengze, the king of Qi.

"This king thought that the king of war would accompany the new princess in the palace for a few more days, but he didn't expect that this was to bring the princess directly to the barracks?"

Xiao Chengze was followed by a few ministers, obviously they were ordered by the emperor to come over to supervise as usual.

The moment he saw Xiao Chengze, Xiao Yi's hand holding Mu Zhixi tightened suddenly.

I see......

He thought she was just trying to come to the barracks with him and make a fresh appearance.

I didn't expect it to see Xiao Chengze.

It's a shame that she's not afraid of danger to stop his horse.

He almost believed her, but there was always a way for him to plunge into deeper despair with his hope.

Is this how she deceived him and used him?

"Lu Yuan, take the princess to the main account. Xiao Yiluo's expression was cold and ruthless, he didn't look at Mu Zhixi at all, and directly asked Lu Yuan to take people away.

At this time, seeing that Xiao Chengze was also in the barracks, Mu Zhixi was more suspicious.

According to her experience in her previous life, Xiao Yilu will be assassinated in the military camp today, and it just so happens that Xiao Chengze is also here, will the assassination be related to him?

After being led to the main tent by Lu Yuan, Mu Zhixi stopped him and asked.

"Lu Yuan, what does the prince usually do here?"

Lu Yuan, like his master, thought that Mu Zhixi's sudden operation to come to the barracks was to see Xiao Chengze, so he didn't have a good attitude towards her.

"The princess can stay here with peace of mind, there are guards outside the main tent, you want to sneak out and have a private meeting with someone, and persuade you to die early. ”

After the warning, he left the main tent without looking back, leaving Mu Zhixi alone with doubts in his opinion.

Why is this suddenly a private meeting?

Does she look so similar, the "red apricot" who can't wait to get out of the wall?

The most important thing at the moment is to figure out who exactly wants to be against Xiao Yi.

Those assassins may have already infiltrated the barracks by now, waiting to attack Xiao Yi.

The point is that she's not with him now, and she can't go outside.

On the training ground, the soldiers were training, and Xiao Chengze took a few civilian officials to patrol around.

The ministers were just looking at the situation, and they were asking strange questions.

Xiao Yi's attention is on Xiao Chengze.

Once he couldn't see Xiao Chengze, he would wonder if he was with Mu Zhixi.

In fact, he only suffered from gains and losses in Mu Zhixi's affairs.

At this time, Mu Zhixi was also thinking about Xiao Yiyan in her heart, the assassin was in the dark, it was impossible for her not to worry.

In his previous life, he was assassinated on the training ground, that is to say, if Xiao Yiluo didn't stay at the training ground today, would he be able to dodge?
