Chapter 2
The Xiangxiang incident was aroused, and the business of Guo's Tofu Shop was getting better and better.The matchmakers didn't come to the door anymore. Instead, they were some local hooligans who often talked stupid things around Xiangxiang.Guo Tian was in a hurry, and chased down several streets with a knife, but everyone kept their backs and continued to make all kinds of obscenities.Guo Tian and his wife were worried secretly, there was no way to go on like this.Mrs. Guo Chen took some golden scorpions to find the matchmaker. The matchmakers who had been around her before were a little evasive and hesitant.After such a thing happened, and I don't want to be a concubine, what kind of family can I find...

But on this day, a matchmaker really came to the door, pulling Mrs. Guo Chen and whispering: "The Ma family in the west of the city, the male master is 32, and wants to marry a step-wife."

When Mrs. Guo Chen heard this, she hesitated, and the matchmaker hurriedly said: "This Ma family is not bad, it is a wealthy family. The male owner, Ma Jingshan, looks decent and is a good person. Let's talk about earlier, Xiangxiang Girl, it's not something he can ask for. Not now... He heard about it and didn't mind at all. "

Guo Chen took Guo Tian aside again and talked about it.Guo Tian thought for a while: "Ma Jingshan in the west of the city has two children, and Xiangxiang will marry them..."

The two looked at each other, and finally discussed with Xiangxiang.Xiangxiang lowered her head, and said softly, "But it's up to the parents." Guo Tian still didn't want to embarrass his daughter: "Well, in two days, Dad will call Ma Jingshan to our shop for a drink. You can look through the curtain. .If you think it’s okay, your parents will talk about it. If not, just pretend it’s not the case.” Xiangxiang nodded in response as she had nothing to say.

Ma Jingshan was a quick-tempered person, so he came to Guo's Tofu Shop the next day. The 32-year-old man is in his prime, but he is also a thick-backed man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.He drank with Guo Tian for a while, and his words were hearty and honest: "Boss Guo, let me tell you the truth. I have two children in my family. Although the land property is not much, I can't be hungry for my wife. Xiangxiang, I am really I like it. If I want to put it aside, I, a toad, dare not think about it. Now...no matter what happens, it is not Xiangxiang's fault. If you agree to this matter, I promise to treat her well in the future and never let her suffer. A little grievance."

He put a pair of gold bracelets on the table: "If you are willing, I will keep this bracelet first. It is a token."

Guo Tian got up, found an excuse to go to the kitchen, and asked Xiangxiang, "What do you think of people?"

Xiangxiang blushed, and said with tears in her eyes, "Daddy makes the decision, I... I have no objection."

Guo Tian sighed, turned around, and said to Ma Jingshan: "The bracelet cannot be accepted by Mr. Guo, please ask nephew Ma Xian to ask a matchmaker to come and formally hire him."

Ma Jingshan knew that this matter was considered a success, and his heart overflowed with joy: "Yes, I am being rude. I will invite a matchmaker to come and hire me tomorrow."

Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Guo Tian and Guo Chen looked at each other. The old couple, both of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

The next day, Ma Jingshan came to hire him as expected.Apart from a few pieces of gold jewelry, the dowry also added a lot of leather goods, which was quite generous.Because people's words are scary, Guo Tian is also worried that there will be long nights and dreams, so he and Ma Jingshan soon set a date to get married.Ma Jingshan became more and more satisfied with Xiangxiang, and came here every now and then to deliver some clothes and food, and sometimes he helped run the hall and sell tofu.Xiangxiang is subconsciously afraid of tall men, and usually avoids him, and the two of them can't speak a few words.Ma Jingshan didn't mind either, and went to Guo's Tofu Square whenever he was free.

Murong Li couldn't stay in Jinyang City.He hated going to court every day, and hated listening to a group of civil servants talking nonsense about political affairs. He complained of illness every day and did not go to court. King Yan knew his temperament, so he simply didn't bother to talk to him.He only gets excited when he's fighting.In the end, he was not optimistic for a moment, he beat his eldest brother Murong Bo, and the sixth younger brother Murong Su came over to pull him and got kicked too, if his third brother Murong Qian hadn't stopped him, Murong Bo would have been in trouble.

King Yan was furious and ordered him to be fined with a hundred army sticks.In the end, he was beaten with a hundred army sticks, but he was still full of energy. After changing his clothes, he wandered outside the house of his eldest brother Murong Bo, so frightened that Murong Bo's family dared not go back.

The eldest son was like a frightened bird all day long, King Yan was helpless, just as the Shanrong people in Liaoxi were in chaos and bandits were rampant, he simply asked him to lead the right battalion of [-] troops to the west of Liao to suppress the bandits.Murong Li took the order and entered the palace to bid farewell to King Yan.His father waved his hand like chasing flies away, fearing that he would go to the west of Liaoning and harm the common people, so he ordered Han Xu, Zhou Zhuo and Yan Qing to go with him.

The three of them were all martial arts masters, and they had been itching to stay in Jinyang for a long time. They were overjoyed when they heard the news, and entered the palace to thank them.King Yan was affable and amiable: "No matter how good he is, he is also the son of an orphan. The three of you go together. If he accidentally makes a mistake and kills someone... It is not easy for him to kill him, but he can finally take you out to take the blame. ..." The three of them looked at each other—I'm sorry, why don't we reverse it?
The next day, Murong Li reorganized his army and took 5000 people to western Liaoning to suppress bandits.The governors of the prefecture drove tens of miles to meet him, but Murong Li didn't even look at him, and he didn't stop at Xingyuan.Zhou Zhuo touched Han Xu and asked, "Does the lord dislike Xingyuan?"

Han Xu caught up a few steps ahead, and asked Murong Li: "Master, I heard that Lingzhi County is famous for Costin, why don't we stay in Lingzhi County, and we can also go to Bird Market to see." Murong Li didn't speak, but Hmm.

Zhou Zhuo touched Han Xu, and the two winked.Yan Qing was puzzled: "What are you two doing? Why don't you follow up and watch the prince closely. The heads of the three of us are all pinned to the waistband of his trousers."

Zhou Zhuo slapped him with a horsewhip: "Can't I choose a better place to put my head?"

Han Xu smiled: "Yan Qing, the tofu nao in Lingzhi County is pretty good, shall we try it?"

"Huh?" Yan Qing was bewildered.

While talking, the three of them came to the South Lane in the north of Lingzhi County.

When I got off the horse, I saw Mrs. Guo Chen closing up the stall.Seeing the three men in military uniforms, Mrs. Guo Chen was also a little scared, so she forced a smile and asked, "Three military masters, what's the matter?"

Han Xu asked, "Do you have a daughter named Xiangxiang?"

Guo Chen's heart jumped suddenly, and his face changed: "I don't know what happened to the little girl, the three military masters..."

Seeing her expression, Han Xu understood, and said, "It's okay, just ask casually."

Just at this time, a tall man came out of the kitchen, and while wiping his hands with a rag, he asked, "Mother-in-law, do you think there is anything else to clean up?"

Guo Chen said tremblingly: "No, it's all right. Jingshan, you go back first."

Of course that man was Ma Jingshan, and since the store was about to close, and some tea mugs, tables and stools placed outside had to be moved back, he would help by the way.Han Xu glanced at him and asked casually, "Who is he?"

Guo Chen secretly said that no matter who it is, maybe it will be fine if they know that Xiangxiang is married.Bian said: "If you go back to Lord Jun, he is Xiangxiang's husband-in-law."

Han Xu nodded, and then realized: "What?"

Guo Chenshi was even more taken aback, Han Xu thought to himself that the mother and daughter were really alike, but he was furious—you really dare to marry!But if people are married, how can they kill people and burn down the shop?Forget it, it's better not to tell the prince, what if he really has such a little meaning, and I unfortunately fall into my words, what will happen?

The three got on the horse, and Zhou Zhuo was also angry: "Damn it, it's only been a few days? You got married? How dare she!"

Han Xu was also unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "What else can I do? I'm married!"

Yan Qing was stunned and didn't understand, Zhou Zhuo was not reconciled: "If I had known earlier, I might as well have left it to me." That girl in coarse clothes and sarong is also a beauty!That skin... is worthy of selling tofu.Han Xu also stopped talking and went back to the residence together.

Murong Li was impatient with the way the state officials ushered them in and drove them away.By this time, I had taken a shower and changed into a suit of casual clothes.Han Xu honestly accompanied him to visit the Bird Market. There were many Haidongqings, but few top-quality products. After all, there was nothing missing in Yanwang Palace.Murong Li wandered around for a while without interest, and returned disappointed.Han Xu followed behind, knowing that this did not please the prince.Turning around, he asked the waiter to go to the state official to ask Hai Dongqing, and touched his nose again.Oh, you'd better forget about it, my lord.

Early the next morning, Murong Li read the map and laid out the route to suppress the bandits.The servant brought up breakfast, Murong Li only ate two mouthfuls.Yan Qing looked at Han Xu, and Han Xu kept winking at him—eat well, don't talk!
Yan Qing's nickname is Lengtouqing, and she can carry whatever pot of professional skills she can't do.He was immediately blessed: "Han Xu, didn't you say that the tofu nao in Lingzhi County is good yesterday? I don't think the prince ate a few bites for breakfast, how about..."

Han Xu groaned in his heart, Yan, Qing, are you tired of having your head on your neck?
Murong glanced at him sharply: "Do you want to eat tofu?"

Yan Qing stayed, I, I... Didn't I hear what Han Xu said?Why can't this be mentioned?When Murong is not smiling, it is scary no matter how you look at it.He panicked: "I, I, I... I actually don't really want to eat..."

Murong Li stood up, "Lead the way."

Yan Qing looked at Han Xu weakly and helplessly, and Han Xu looked for an early breakfast stall in a coy, coy, and oblique manner: "How about...here?"

Murong Li stared at him, his heart was trembling - no, you still have to go there?With his head down, he walked towards the south alley in silence.

Guojia Tofu Square is the busiest time in the morning.A bowl of tofu nao is tender, fragrant and cheap. Many neighbors like to have breakfast here.

Xiangxiang was wearing a grass-colored sarong with a white apron tied around her waist.The tie ties the waist so tight that it is impossible to grasp, the hair is combed in a very ordinary bun, but a silk flower is tied with light yellow silk on the sideburns, which makes the whole face vivid.From time to time, guests left, she wiped the table with a rag, and let the new guests take their seats.

Yan Qing went over and ordered four bowls of tofu nao, and Xiangxiang brought them over on a tray.When she arrived at the table, she put down the four bowls of tofu nao, and was about to speak slowly when she raised her head, when she suddenly saw Murong Li's face.With a bang, the remaining tofu nao on the entire tray, together with the seasonings, garlic water, etc. inside, hit the ground.

This is a dream, this must be a dream!Xiangxiang took two steps back, looked at the face that only appeared in nightmares, turned around and ran.Of course there is a back door in the store, she said to Guo Chenshi with a pale face, "Mother, I'm tired, let's go home and rest for a while."

Guo Chen didn't know what happened, but said: "Go, there are people here to take care of you."

As soon as Xiangxiang left the store, she stopped suddenly.No, that is a murderous demon!Father, mother and younger brother are all in the store, so I can't leave by myself.She gritted her teeth and turned back.Just as Guo Chen was about to ask, she had already left the kitchen.

At Murong Li's table, Guo Yang was cleaning the tofu nao on the floor, apologizing to them all the time.Xiangxiang was trembling all over, her legs seemed to be stepping on cotton, but she still walked over.After sending away Guo Yang, she asked in a low voice, "Xun... Prince Xun."

Murong Li stared at her coldly and asked, "Why are you running?"

Xiangxiang's eyes were filled with tears, she bit her lip and said softly: "I...I..." I didn't say anything for a long time, Murong Li slowly ate the tofu nao in the bowl, Xiangxiang was about to cry again .

The people around began to realize that something was wrong, and Guo Tian also saw it, and came over to ask: "This guest officer, it was the little girl who was careless. We invited some tofu brains, sorry, sorry." He pulled Xiangxiang to Behind him, he cleaned up the ground by himself.Murong Li didn't speak, just stared at Xiangxiang, this woman is really white, her skin is as tender as water.

Han Xu lowered his head, snorted and ate it all, then wiped his mouth and stood up: "Master, shall we go?"

Zhou Zhuo glanced at him——are you dying?

Han Xu shook his head sadly, and whispered to Murong Li, "Master, she's already married."

Murong Li was taken aback, then slapped the table and stood up.Han Xu almost wanted to shake with Xiangxiang, but Murong Li kicked him away and walked out of the shop with a flick of his sleeves.Han Xu, Yan Qing, and Zhou Zhuo quickly followed.Yan Qing felt that she was the most innocent, what happened?

Murong Li suddenly turned his head and asked in a deep voice, "Who married her?"

Sweat dripped down Han Xu's face. Facing Murong Li's eyes, he answered the boldest answer for the first time: "No... I don't know."

Murong glared sharply, and immediately said: "Your subordinates go ask!"

Murong Li said: "Ask clearly, so as not to kill by mistake."

Han Xu was about to cry. After going in for a while, he came out immediately, and heaved a sigh of relief: "My lord, it turned out that my subordinates made a mistake. She is not married yet, not married."

Murong Li turned his head and left, Zhou Zhuo pulled Han Xu's sleeve straight: "Are you crazy? How dare you lie to the prince!"

Han Xu said in a low voice: "Listen, it seems that the prince really wants this woman. Let's tell the truth, he will definitely kill people. At that time, King Yan will chop off our heads!"

Zhou Zhuo glared: "Nonsense, I also know. But if the prince wants someone, you really offer him a married woman?"

Han Xu thought for a while: "Anyway, if we don't tell, the prince won't know."

Zhou Zhuo was stunned: "What?"

Han Xu said: "Isn't the lord just wanting that woman? Leave it to him. Don't you know his temper? He just thinks that this woman refuses to be with him. He feels that this woman refuses to be with him. He feels that he is puzzled, and it is difficult to save face. This is back here No matter what you say, you have to get it and play with it. He will never marry her, and it is estimated that he will just play for a few days."

Zhou Zhuo thought about it, and shook his head again and again: "Whether there is virtue or not, they are all married."

Han Xu was angry: "Wicked or lack of brains, you choose!"

Zhou Zhuo quit: "I can't do this, you can do it yourself." Anyway, if I don't go to hell, whoever wants to go will go.

Yan Qing next to me stared, can anyone tell me what happened?

Nobody told him.

In the afternoon, Xiangxiang slipped out some time, and met Han Xu who was waiting for her at the corner of the street.Han Xu got straight to the point: "The prince is here to suppress the bandits, go with him for a few days."

Xiangxiang's complexion changed drastically, and she shook her head while stepping back.Han Xu took a step closer and said with a serious face: "I don't want to threaten you, but even if you don't agree now, he will find someone else to do it. But at that time, the person who will come may not be as reasonable as me."

Xiangxiang burst into tears, and Han Xu said: "He is the son of King Yan, a famous general with great military exploits. If he kills and sets fire, even if King Yan knows, do you think he will give his son to him?" Your parents and relatives are killed!"

Xiangxiang's face was pale, and her lips trembled. Han Xu said, "Think about it clearly, he doesn't blink when he raises a knife. Besides, you are his woman, and you dare to marry someone. It is a serious crime of copying your family and exterminating your family! It’s fine if you don’t pursue it, but if you pursue it, the government will investigate and deal with it according to the law if you don’t do anything!”

Xiangxiang's legs softened, and Han Xu stretched out his hand to support her: "I figured it out, come to Lingzhi Station. I'm going to meet someone tonight!"

Xiangxiang thought for a long time, and returned to the store in a daze. There were not many customers.

Guo Chen asked, "Xiang Xianger, where did you go?"

Xiangxiang reluctantly suppressed her tears and smiled: "Mother, Prince Xun's people came to me and said that they wanted me to follow them... to testify against the bandits who entered the city last time."

Guo Chen was taken aback: "Xiang Xiang'er, you're going to get married soon! This...running out with a group of soldiers, what does it sound like?"

Guo Tian also heard it, and hurried over at this time: "Xiangxiang, this is no joke. The bandit has no eyes, and you can't ride a horse. These soldiers can protect you? Don't go, good boy, Let's just pretend it doesn't matter, that's all."

Xiangxiang bit her lip and said with a smile, "Daddy, these military masters sent me back from Mount Yilu, so I should identify the bandits."

Guo Tian was burning with anxiety: "Xiangxiang! Jingshan over there..."

Xiangxiang held back her tears: "Father, Brother Ma... can I return it? I don't like him." I'm sorry, if I knew this, I shouldn't have come back.Guo Tian held her hand, heartbroken: "Xiangxiang, do you want to go out of the city to identify the bandits because you don't want to marry him?"

Xiangxiang lowered her head, and a tear rolled down her face: "No, Daddy, I just don't want those bandits to go unpunished. I...I must go. Brother Ma...I..."

Guo Tian sighed: "Son, you go... come back... people don't know what they will think of you."

Xiangxiang nodded: "I know. Dad, I must go."

Guo Tian sighed, and finally asked: "When are we leaving?"

Xiangxiang hung her head: "Leave in a while."

Guo Tian was suspicious: "What bandit is identified and needs to go there at night?"

Xiangxiang said: "In the past... we still had to discuss tomorrow's itinerary."

Guo Tian took her by the hand: "Father will go with you, please ask when you will be back!"

Xiangxiang had to grit her teeth hard to stop crying: "No need for Daddy, I can go by myself." Then without further ado, she went to the post house.

Han Xu was really waiting for her, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her coming.Xiangxiang stood a few steps away from him, with her head down, like a frightened quail.

Han Xu turned his body sideways: "The prince's bedroom is upstairs, the innermost one on the left."

Xiangxiang's legs were so heavy that he couldn't move. Han Xu said, "It's better to appear willing. I can guarantee you haven't seen his bad side yet."

Xiangxiang went upstairs slowly, getting closer and closer to the room. She stood at the door, but she still didn't have the courage to push the door.She squatted on the ground with her head in her arms. After a long time, she finally wiped away her tears, stood up, and slowly opened the door.Murong Li was not here, she was relieved, knowing that she couldn't leave, she sat down at the table.The post house had obviously been specially repaired, and the furnishings in the room were exquisite, but she didn't dare to move.After waiting for more than half an hour, Murong Li opened the door and came in.

Xiangxiang hurriedly stood up, Murong Li was taken aback when he saw her, then took off the cloak and threw it on the hanger casually.Xiangxiang stood there bewildered, and it took a long time before she whispered, "My lord."

Murong Li sat down impatiently, took a sip of water before asking: "Why are you here?"

Xiangxiang's face flushed red: "I... I... General Han said..." Murong became impatient with his incoherent speech, and he stood in front of her like a mountain: "I just want to ask you, are you willing to serve Ben? King?" Xiangxiang kept shaking, her small appearance was so alluring, Murong Li carried her to the bed and pressed her down viciously.She pushed him, and his tongue pushed in domineeringly, entangled her so much that she couldn't breathe.A deep kiss, by this time, it's too late if you don't want to.

The clothes fell to the ground.

The next day, Xiangxiang was still asleep when she was awakened by voices downstairs.As soon as Xiangxiang heard the voice, she knew it was her father Guo Tian. She was taken aback and hurriedly dressed and got up.Of course there was no dressing table in the room, no matter how noble King Xun was, he didn't need that thing after all.She pulled her hair up two or three times, and opened the door to go out when she felt a little neater.In the post house, Murong Li sat at the head, Guo Tian knelt in front of him.

Xiangxiang didn't care about being afraid of him anymore, so she subconsciously ran forward and grabbed Guo Tian: "Father! Why are you here?"

Seeing his daughter, Guo Tian heaved a sigh of relief, but still pleaded: "My lord, Guo is a grassroots person who doesn't know etiquette. If you offend me, please forgive me. But everyone knows the love of a son, Xiangxiang is just This girl is going to get married soon, no matter what, Cao Min can’t let her go out of the city with the prince just like that. Please forgive me!” It turned out that he had discussed with Guo Chen all night, but he still felt that Xiangxiang could not go out of the city with the army.

Murong Li doesn't speak, reasoning with people is not his style.Han Xu and Zhou Zhuo had already stepped forward, the knife in their waist was half out of its sheath: "The prince's order, is it something you can't go if you don't want to go?"

Guo Tian hugged Xiangxiang, and was also very firm: "Master Jun, my daughter is young and ignorant, how can I sit and watch her self-destruction? As a father, I can't protect her and love her. It's heartbreaking. I can't do it now." Then watch her make mistakes and risk herself. Even if you kill me, you still..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiangxiang covered his mouth: "Father! Don't talk nonsense. I'm fine, I'm fine."

Guo Tian looked resolute, but Han Xu and Zhou Zhuo were in trouble.This old Guo dared to gossip in front of the prince for so long, he is considered a man, he can't really kill him, right?
Murong Li got up and walked in front of Guo Tian, ​​Xiangxiang's face was like paper, and she opened her hands to protect Guo Tian behind her.Ever since they were young, their father has regarded the three of them as his darlings. No matter what mistakes they make, as long as their father is around, they can solve them.But now, she knew that her father could no longer protect her.

Murong Li grabbed her wrist and pulled her up abruptly. Before Xiangxiang could speak, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her mouth.Xiangxiang's brain thumped, and the golden flowers scattered in front of her eyes.Guo Tian's eyes widened slowly, but he even forgot to speak.After a long time, Murong Li dropped Xiangxiang, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Do you understand now?"

Guo Tian opened his mouth, closed it after a long time, turned his head after a long time, and called softly, "Xiangxiang?"

Xiangxiang sat on the ground with tears in her eyes. It took her a long time to raise her head and said with a smile, "Father... I, the prince and I... I did it voluntarily."

Guo Tian looked shocked: "Xiangxiang! He is King Xun, you follow him..." Can he still marry you?

Xiangxiang raised her face, and tears pooled in her eyes: "Father, I did it voluntarily."

Guo Tian closed his eyes, and asked softly after a long time: "My lord, generals, since this is the case, I have nothing to say. But please tell me, when will the army return to the city? When the time comes, some of you will send someone to see you off." Come back, or is the Caomin here to pick you up?"

Han Xu and the others all looked at Murong Li, and Murong Li said flatly, "Since he belongs to me, I will take care of it myself, so don't worry about it."

Guo Tian wanted to ask again, but his expression was already very impatient.Xiangxiang gently pushed Guo Tian: "Father, I will go home by myself, you go back first. Tell mother, don't worry about me."

Guo Tian didn't know what to say, this kind of blow made him lose his mind, no matter how much his heart hurts, such a person is not something he can provoke.Even if he risked his life, how could he shake this person by the slightest bit?The morning sun shone on her body, making her look a little sad.Looking at the back that has been protecting her from the wind and rain all this time, Xiangxiang burst into tears.Murong Li turned his head and said, "Leave the city."

The army is stationed outside Lingzhi County, and Xiangxiang doesn't know how to ride a horse.Murong Li still rode together with her, the whole journey was sunny.The horseshoes clattered like a rhythm.Murong Li controlled the horse with both arms, holding her in the middle, and she could feel her back rubbing against his chest from time to time.She didn't dare to look back at him, and there was no one around, and his subordinates fanned away from him.Wen Xiang nephrite hugged his arms, Murong Li didn't think about anything else, when he should be sober, he was very lucid.

The bandit's cottage was built close to the mountain. After exploring the terrain, Yan Qing and Zhou Zhuo came to report: "My lord, the mountain is densely covered with traps. If we attack from above, we will inevitably lose our troops. If we are besieged, there will be clear springs and streams on the mountain. It doesn't work either."

Murong Li got off his horse, and took Xiang Xiang off his horse: "Shout out, within three hours, everyone put down their weapons and descend the mountain to surrender."

Han Xu asked, "Otherwise?"

Murong Li waved his hand, signaling the troops to station on the spot: "Otherwise, we will set fire to the mountain."

Han Xu and the others were all taken aback: "My lord, mountain fires are easy to start, but hard to extinguish..."

Murong Li asked: "Is that related to this king?"

It really doesn't matter...it doesn't matter.Han Xu paused, and said for a while, "The general will follow orders."

The soldiers camped at the foot of the mountain, and some began to shout to the mountain. There was no movement at that time, and the bandits also needed a time to observe and discuss.Murong was not in a hurry, some soldiers started digging the stove to cook.Murong Li brought a sentry to look around the terrain, Xiang Xiang saw the leader cooking, and of course Murong Li and the three generals ate in separate small stoves.Xiangxiang looked at the side for a while, and said softly, "I... can I come?"

Some of the gang leaders recognized her and knew that she was someone close to the prince, so they didn't dare to talk too much, so they gave her all the belongings.During the march, the soldiers' meals were all based on the standards of being easy to carry and not perishable, and whether it was difficult or unpalatable was not considered.Of course Murong Li and the others said something else.

Xiangxiang looked at the ingredients, there were newly selected vegetables, fresh chicken and duck.She looked up and saw a chestnut tree next to it, which was in the ripe season.She tugged at the guy next to him, pointed to the tree, and didn't say anything, but the guy understood, and said that she likes to eat, so he picked some for her.

She peeled all the chestnuts, washed and drained the chicken, made a chestnut chicken, found a radish to stew the duck meat; boiled the remaining chestnuts, picked some sweet-scented osmanthus for juice, and made a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus Chestnut cake; stir-fry a plate of garlic and green vegetables, shred the potatoes, and serve cold.

When Murong Li entered the tent, she saw Xiangxiang making the bed, and she did the things in Murong Li's tent by herself if she could.Murong Li frowned: "These things will be done by the servants."

Xiangxiang almost jumped up like a frightened rabbit: "It's... I, I... Can't I do it myself?"

Murong Li saw that she was shaking like a piece of tender tofu, and said two words coldly: "As you wish."

Xiangxiang hurriedly served the hot food on the hanging pot.Murong Li usually doesn't pay much attention to what he eats. When he was 15 years old, he entered and left the military camp. Sometimes he was delicacies from mountains and seas, and sometimes he was starving. His sense of taste has long been numb.I tasted it this time, but I found it fresh and refreshing. In comparison, the former gang leader should be pushed out to behead!After eating for a while, he saw Xiangxiang standing aside and said, "Sit down and eat!"

Xiangxiang sat down quickly, only picked up shredded potatoes, and ate tremblingly.Murong Li took a few big mouthfuls of food, and then went out to patrol the camp, fearing that bandits would jump over the wall in a hurry and come down to attack.Xiangxiang put all the dishes and chopsticks into the food box, and the gang leader will come to pick them up.

At night, when Murong Li came back, Xiangxiang had already fallen asleep.There was a quiet fragrance in the tent, he turned his head to look over, and saw a bunch of sweet-scented osmanthus soaked in water in the corner of the tent, which was about to be released.He undressed and went to bed, and slept soundly. Her physical strength, riding all the way here from Lingzhi County during the day, and another busy day, was too much for her.Murong Li pulled her over, put her under him and went to undress her.She knew it was him, so she dared not make a sound, Zhou Zhuo, Yan Qing, and Han Xu's camp was next to them, if there was any movement, they would hear it.

Murong Li's actions are by no means gentle, even quite rough, she still whispered Lan Jie in a low voice, she closed her eyes, thinking of her parents, sister, and younger brother, her tears were like streams of water.When he had had enough tossing, she got up, her body was sticky and sweaty.Murong ignored her, she straightened her clothes and left the tent.Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there were night guard soldiers talking in low voices, which could be heard very clearly in the dark night.A group of soldiers and ruffians just talk badly, what can't they say when they get together?
I only heard A say: "The girl next to the prince, I heard that she was snatched from Donghu last time, she is so tender that she can squeeze water out of it."

Yi was obsessed with lewdness, and said: "It's a tofu lady from Lingzhi County. I wonder if the prince will let us try it if he gets tired of playing..."

Bing smiled and said: "Go away, General Zhou and the others should still be a little bit fishy, ​​so you and I don't even think about it..."

Ding whispered: "It's not impossible. I heard that one of the prince's concubines was hired seriously, and it was also given to the generals under him...hehe..."

When Xiangxiang walked over, their voices stopped talking, and of course their eyes were more or less looking at her.Next to it is the lake, and all the drinking water in the army is taken from here.

Xiangxiang found the place where the back was carried, fetched some water with a copper basin, moistened it with a handkerchief and gently wiped her body, her whole body hurt like bones were broken.I don't know if I can go back to my own home in the county town?Even if he was willing to let him go back, what would other people think?Parents secretly shed so many tears for their own affairs, this time... how should they behave?Father has been upright and innocent all his life, but he has a daughter like me when he is old... No, I can't go back.I can no longer go home.Would he really give himself to these men?He has never been very impatient with himself... What should we do if that time really comes?She sat by the lake and looked at the lake as black as ink in the night.As if being bewitched, I suddenly thought, how about jumping in, and it will be over once and for all.If he sees it, he will think that I have fallen into the water and will not implicate my family.She took off her shoes and slowly slid into the water. The lake water in September was already chilling. She buried herself in the water lightly. The cold lake water covered her body, and her blue hair swayed and spread across the lake.The lake was flooded, and people couldn't help but start to panic, and their minds went blank.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her by the hair, and Xiangxiang grabbed something almost instinctively.Lifting her out of the lake with one hand, the air entered her lungs again, and she gasped for breath. After a long time, she realized that Han Xu was standing in front of her.

Han Xu's eyes were dark, and Xiangxiang stepped back again and again: "I..."

Han Xu said, "You just stumbled and fell into the lake."

Xiangxiang gritted her silver teeth slightly, the wind blew past, and her drenched clothes clung tightly to her body, and she couldn't help shivering.Han Xu asked: "It's really painful and you don't want to live?" Before Xiangxiang could answer, a person in the dark reed said in a deep voice, "So you shouldn't save her." Also surprised, knelt down: "My lord."

Murong Li ignored him, staring at Xiangxiang: "Go down." Xiangxiang was trembling even breathing, Murong Li was as cold as a stone: "Go down!"

She walked to the lake hesitantly, looked back at him tremblingly, and slipped into the lake again.The lake was flooded again, and Han Xu said anxiously: "My lord! She is still young, so don't worry about her!"

Murong shouted sharply: "Shut up!"

Han Xu didn't dare to speak anymore, after a while, Murong Li entered the water and pulled her up.Xiangxiang just took a breath when he pushed her into the water again with his arms.She struggled desperately, splashing water.Murong Li didn't care about it, and after a while, he lifted her out of the water again.

Xiangxiang was frightened and cried loudly.After crying twice, he pressed her down again.Several times in a row, Xiangxiang lost all strength, and she didn't struggle when she pressed into the water again.Murong Li threw her on the shore, and while wringing the hem of his wet clothes, he said to Han Xu who was still kneeling on the ground: "You care about her so much, I will reward you."
