Chapter 5 Bah, the old fox

They got it!
When the bandit saw the dark guard, he yelled in his heart that something was wrong. He turned around and tried to escape, but he held his arm firmly. During the struggle, he swung his knife with his backhand and cut off his arm. dripping.

"Tsk." The dark guard slightly twitched the corner of his lips, got up and joined the battle.

The sound of fighting and killing resounded through the forest and mountain road, but all this outside the car had nothing to do with the two people inside the car.

Mu Xici let go of her eyelashes, and gently let go of the fingers hidden in her sleeves holding the yellow talisman. She knew that this encounter would not be her job.

"Miss Mu, aren't you afraid?" Mo Junli rolled over the two locks of hair hanging down his chest with great interest, and through the soft gauze curtain, he could clearly see the little girl's trembling long eyelashes.

"Why are you afraid?" Mu Xici's expression remained unchanged, and he casually smoothed his sleeves.

"That's a vicious robber bandit with a lot of blood debts?" Mo Jun rolled his eyes, and his tone of voice was slightly teasing.

"Then," Mu Xici calmly raised his eyes, and through the curtain, his black pupils met the young man's long, deep eyes, "Your Highness, are you afraid?"

"Are you afraid of those vicious and cruel bandits?"

Behind the soft veil, the little girl's eyes were clear and calm. Mo Junli looked at those eyes and suddenly broke into a smile: "Of course I'm not afraid."

"The royal guards, how could they be defeated by such Xiaoxiao's hands?"

What's more, it's not just the royal guards, but those standing outside are all vanguards he carefully selected and cultivated by himself.

"So you are not afraid of Xici." Mu Xici pursed his lips, and his almond eyes that were shining like water narrowed slightly, covering up the fleeting glimmer of darkness in the bottom of his eyes. Don't be afraid. Right now, Xici is riding in the same carriage with His Highness, and the guards want to protect His Highness, so they will protect Xici by the way."

"A very beautiful answer." Mo Junli clapped his hands softly, and the sparse applause fell to the ears of the attendants outside the car and turned into a hidden signal. robbers.

"Master, the leader of the bandits has escaped, and we have captured all the rest... Do you see?" It is said that the "dumb voice" secret guard stood outside the car and bowed his hands respectfully. Mo Junli brushed his sleeves lightly when he heard this: "They are all evil people, let's kill them on the spot - stay away when dealing with them, don't dirty Miss Mu's eyes."

"Yes, this subordinate takes orders." The dark guard responded, and led half a team of bandits into the deep forest with a wave of his arms. After a while, the smell of rust entered the car along the cold wind, and Mu Xici frowned slightly. eyebrow.

"You're not curious, why didn't I stay alive and be escorted to Beijing for interrogation?" Mo Junli raised his eyebrows, and the little girl in front of him was already calm beyond his imagination.

"Brother Anwei has already said that the leader has escaped." Mu Xici lowered his eyes, his delicate white face was neither sad nor happy, "Even if you interrogate the rest, you may not be able to find anything. Besides, is this Isn't it an ordinary bandit robbery?"

This is the place that must pass through to enter the capital, and the mountains are quite complicated. There are bandits haunting and robbing travelers all the year round. I can extract myself clean from it.

"Really? But they are obviously heading for the carriage of your Duke Mu's mansion." Mo Junli leisurely picked up the teapot on the small table, raised his hand and poured a cup of clear tea, "In other words, these bandits are It's aimed at you, Miss Mu—you really don't want to know who's behind the scenes?"

"If Your Highness wants Xici to know, Xici will naturally know." Mu Xici answered irrelevant questions, and through the curtain, she didn't even bother to fake a smile.

"What if I don't want to?"

"There are probably people who are skeptical about the reluctance."

If she returns to Beijing, how many people can she block the way?Who else is so unwilling to let her return to the Duke's Mansion safely, except Mu Shiyan?
Mu Xici sneered in her heart, she wasn't going to spare Mu Shiyan's things that were sloppy and intended to step on her elder sister and father and brother's superiors.

She owed her a lot.

resembles.

Mo Junli raised the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were tightly locked on the little girl behind the curtain. Her calm and calm demeanor made him return to the frontier battlefield decades ago in a trance. At a certain moment, he seemed to see that With a flick of a hand, hundreds of thousands of troops can be wiped out——

Qianping Guoshi.

There were layers of waves in the eyes of the young man. At that time, he was forced by Mo Shuyuan to feign death and leave Beijing, and changed his name and surname to become a counselor of another country. On a certain year on the battlefield, he was lucky enough to glimpse the unstained beauty from afar. This engraved an indelible white in his mind.

He wanted to abduct this little girl with the qualifications of a national teacher, and he wanted to raise a national teacher who would be devoted to him alone.

In the previous life, everyone around him died because of that imperial road, and in this life, he does not want to overturn the car and continue the track.

"Miss Mu, I want to go to the famous waterside pavilion to enjoy the moon in three days." Mo Junli raised his eyebrows lightly, Mu Xi understood his words, and continued in a slow voice: "I encountered bandits on the way back to Beijing this time, thanks to Your Highness and the guards in the house who sacrificed their lives. Save me, I regret to say goodbye and go back to the mansion, I will definitely pay a visit to thank His Highness for saving my life."

"Smart man." Mo Junli laughed lowly when he heard the words, and Mu Xici closed his eyes after hearing this: "I dare not be that."

After such a courteous gesture, the two silently turned their eyebrows away, and quietly cursed at each other as an "old fox" in their hearts.

Mu Xici thought, she never knew that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy could have so many thoughts; Mo Junli thought that this Mu Da Guoshi was so difficult when he was young?

After the bandits were dealt with, the guards returned to the team, and the coachman also drove the carriage, and set foot on the road back to Beijing again.

"Miss, it's windy in winter, and your body can't stand the wind. Otherwise, we'd better go inside and wait." In front of the gate of Duke Mu's mansion, a maid with a worried face carefully supported a thin and frail girl. Shaking his head lightly: "It's okay, wait a little longer, seeing that it's getting dark, Ah Ci should be here soon."

"Father can't bear to see her, and Aning is not here. If I, the elder sister, don't come out to meet her, how can she recognize the house?" Mu Xiyin covered her lips and coughed twice, her thin figure was blown by the cold wind Shaking.

"Even if you have to wait for the third lady, you have to pay attention to yourself! Otherwise, the young master will blame the maid again when he comes back." Ling Hua comforted, "What's more, there are housekeeper Li and the others following."

"That's different, Linghua, let me wait a little longer." Mu Xiyin closed her eyes, and her eyes were slightly astringent. Her A Ci was born without a mother, and within two days, she was called a mother by her aunt again. "Conquering father and mother", she was forcibly sent a hundred miles away by her father when she was less than three years old, and she was not able to return to Beijing until today.

She wants to wait for her here, she wants Ah Ci to be able to see her when he gets off the car.

Mu Xiyin pulled the cloak and looked towards the direction outside Beijing. She wanted to see the convoy from Fuchu sooner, and she wanted to pick up her sister sooner.

"Big sister, it's already this time, are you still waiting here?" The soft female voice rang in her ears, and the sarcasm in her words made Mu Xiyin frowned uncontrollably.

She pursed her lips and did not want to talk to her, but the owner of that voice refused to let her go: "I said big sister, don't wait here in vain, there are road robbers on the way back to Beijing, maybe the third sister is out of luck, I ran into a bandit and couldn't come back!"

Mu Xiyin suddenly turned her head when she heard this, her sick little face became a little more serious: "Shut up!"
