Xia Chu looked at the cold and handsome face close at hand and sighed slightly. Xiao Mubai's words were not a joke. He really didn't know how many years she had been in love with him...
"What? You can't deny what you just said. You told me your heartfelt feelings in front of the Regent of the Western Regions. You can't be irresponsible." Xiao Mubai saw her suddenly stunned. His words were joking and his face was condescending, and he reached out to tap her eyebrows.
"Stop making trouble, you have such a big heart." Xia Chu waved his hand away helplessly.
"I don't have a big heart, I can only pretend to be you." Xiao Mubai said his love words calmly, but it was Xia Chu whose heart beat faster.
Before she could speak, she heard Xiao Mubai continue to say, "What are you worried about? Yue Feng Duan is so powerful, a powerful dragon can't overpower a local snake. Why are you worried about him in the Xiao Kingdom?"
"But Duke Liang..." Xia Chu started to speak but was interrupted again: "In the Fushui King Temple in Liang Kingdom, there is a Princess Su Ran praying for blessings and waiting to be married. He can't find the reason for this. Even if they really fight each other, uncle You may not be afraid of him, so you have to retreat and seek the next best thing, I just don’t want to increase innocent lives. If the Western Region sends troops without any reason, just fight."
"But I'm a woman pretending to be a man..." Xia Chu spoke again, but was interrupted again: "Isn't that just right? I have so generously asked to marry the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. She is a good match, a talented man and a good-looking woman, and a good harpist. Luanfeng and Ming..."
Xia Chu's ears felt hot, and she quickly put her hand on his lips: "Is it still in shape..."
Xiao Mubai held her wrist and kissed her fingertips gently: "What I just said were serious words..."
Xia Chu quickly retracted his hand. Although his face was still red and his heart was beating, Xiao Mubai's words made sense if he thought about it carefully.
Her originally panicked heart gradually calmed down, and she realized that what Xiao Mubai said at the door just now, that soldiers will cover up water and earth will cover it up, was not a joke.
Xiao Mubai saw that her face softened slightly, and then he stepped forward and said, "We only have one very serious problem now."
"Huh?" Xia Chu looked up with confusion on his face. Aren't the most important things just these few things? What else could be called a serious problem
"Where should I sleep at night?" Xiao Mubai asked with a smile on his face and a serious look on his face.
"Go back to your palace!" Xia Chu suddenly understood what he meant and pushed his face away.
Xiao Mubai put his hand on her lips, and Xia Chu waved it away: "Don't do this, the raven is outside, who can eavesdrop?"
Xiao Mubai laughed awkwardly: "Han Sa is still on his way back to the capital with King Mo's army. I came back secretly for someone. I traveled day and night, wearing the stars and the moon, eating and sleeping in the open air. The man didn't take off his armor, and the horse didn't take off its saddle. , day…”
"Take it." Xia Chu stretched out her hand and shook it gently in front of him, and Xiao Mubai kept silent in cooperation.
"You can stay." Xia Chu held his head against the pain.
Leaving aside the fact that he returned to the capital secretly, Yue Fengwan still didn't know his true identity, and it was indeed inconvenient for him to return to the palace, so he could only let him stay in the palace for the time being.
Xia Chu raised his head and was about to ask him to go to the wing next door, when Su Qianan went to Han Yang. His room was still vacant and the items in it were quite neat, but Xiao Mubai beside him had disappeared at some point.
Xia Chu heard the noise coming from inside, got up and walked inside.
Good guy, he had already laid out the bedding, twisted his body into a curve, and lay on the couch enchantingly. He waved to her and asked, "Do you like to sleep inside or outside?"
Xia Chu gritted her teeth and walked over, smiling sweetly, holding his hand: "I like outside."
"Well, me too, but it doesn't matter, I can sleep..." Before he finished speaking, Xia Chu pulled him up and walked towards the door, a silver needle pressed against his shoulder: "I like you to sleep in Outside the house!”
Xiao Mubai was forced to walk and said: "If you don't use a beauty trap to seduce me, you are cheating..."
Xia Chu snorted twice, then opened the door, kicked him out, and closed the door quickly.
Xiao Mubai turned around and patted the locked door: "Ah Chu, it's been a long time since I had a good sleep!"
There was silence in the room for a while, and then a voice came out: "Raven, take him to Su Qian'an's room."
When Raven heard this, she raised her chin at Xiao Mubai, gesturing for him to follow, and turned around to lead the way. Xiao Mubai glanced at him up and down, and suddenly his eyes turned to look at a tree in the distance.
There are now eight secret guards perched on that tree, leaving aside Bian Ding and Jiang Yan, as well as the six Xiao Mubai brought with him. They are all hanging on different branches, but watching the show in the same direction. Suddenly being glanced back by the male protagonist in the play, they almost fell from the tree together.
Xiao Mubai saw that the branches and leaves of the big tree suddenly trembled and rustled. After a while, it returned to silence and silence.
He snorted coldly at the big tree, and the tree also trembled. If it weren't for the raven urging him: "Follow me."
I'm afraid that big tree will have to shake for a while...
Just as he followed the raven to the door of Su Qianan's room, and everyone on the tree let out a sigh of relief, Xiao Mubai suddenly called out: "Jiang Yan."
Just hearing a 'click' sound, a person actually fell on the tree in the distance.
It's falling, not falling...
Xiao Mubai glanced at it with an unmoving brow, and said calmly: "Come in."
Jiang Yan climbed up shakily, with a bitter look on his face, and looked up at the big tree above his head in despair.
The moonlight was clear, and the silver light shone through the mottled branches and leaves. It was vaguely visible that seven figures on the tree hugged him, as if wishing him a good journey, a strong man...
Jiang Yan cursed his mother in his heart and pretended to be limping towards Xiao Mubai's room.
In the room, Xiao Mubai looked at Jiang Yan, who was standing unsteadily but still maintaining his saluting posture, and asked with a stern expression, "Did you fall badly?"
Jiang Yan's body stiffened, and his standing became even more unsteady. He tremblingly replied, "It's okay."
Xiao Mubai sneered: "I miss you after following you all these years, so I will send you back to retire."
Jiang Yan stood up straight with a snap: "Your Majesty, my subordinate is fine. It's really fine. If you don't believe me, I'll give you two laps."
Xiao Mubai gritted his teeth. Did this guy really think that he felt sorry for him and hurt him
Xiao Mubai slapped his palm on the table, and Jiang Yan knelt on the ground.
"It turns out that you are innocent at heart, why are you pretending to be stupid like this? I've been staying with Ah Chu for a while, how dare you to deceive you like this?" Xiao Mubai saw him kneeling down, He sneered, and immediately understood that he was pretending to be stupid, not really stupid.
Jiang Yan remembered what Xia Chu said, if Xiao Mubai was blamed and showed weakness in the future, all he had to do was show weakness, pretend to be pitiful, gain sympathy, and everything would be fine!
Therefore, Jiang Yan flattened his mouth, knelt down and took two steps, and called out aggrievedly: "Your Majesty..."
