Chapter 253 Call brother-in-law.
After arranging accommodation and everyone had left, Xiao Ning asked his men to gather.
She picked out ten people and asked them to escort the property back to Jinzhou the next day.
He also warned: "On the way back, keep an eye on that..."
At this point, Xiao Ning remembered that she had not yet asked her cheap brother-in-law's name.
He said, "Keep an eye on my brother-in-law and don't let him get away. Keep a close eye on him once we get to Jinzhou. I'll make all the plans after I get back."
The soldiers nodded deeply.
The general's brother-in-law is Princess Duanhui's younger brother, so he is the late emperor's son.
This identity is indeed sensitive.
if……
The soldiers didn't dare to think any more and just did whatever the general told them to do.
In order to keep an eye on Shang Xi, Xiao Ning asked him to live in the same room with him.
The rooms in the bandit camp have big kangs that can accommodate several people.
Shang Xi stood by the kang in the room, looking at Xiao Ning, his ears flushed, and he felt very embarrassed.
Xiao Ning was very natural.
"What's your name, brother-in-law? I was so happy to see you during the day that I forgot to ask your name."
Shang Xi rubbed his fingers on the edge of the kang.
"My name... is Xu Linghui."
Xu is Madam Shen...that is, his biological mother's surname, and Ling Hui is the name given by Madam Shen.
Xiao Ning was distracted by his little movements.
Not only is his expression exactly the same as the princess's, but even his subconscious little movements are exactly the same.
"We've met for so long, why don't you call me brother-in-law?"
Shang Xi: “…”
Xiao Ning stared at him: "Brother-in-law?"
Shang Xi pursed his lips and called out reluctantly, "Brother-in-law."
Xiao Ning lowered his eyes, "You are so reluctant, it seems that my brother-in-law is not very satisfied with me as his brother-in-law."
Shang Xi: “…”
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.
Xiao Ning said, "Okay, go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."
After saying that, he took off his coat naturally, got on the kang, and took a seat first.
Shang Xi watched her lying down with her back to him, scratched the hem of her clothes with his fingers, and said in a muffled voice: "I haven't applied medicine to my face yet."
"There's a mirror in the room, just go up there yourself. My brother-in-law has lived among the common people for so many years, so he shouldn't need others to serve him in everything."
Shang Xi: “…”
He felt that Xiao Ning seemed angry.
But he didn't know why Xiao Ning was angry.
Is it because of what he said before?
Because he had that idea, she not only wanted to take him to Jinzhou to watch over him, but also treated him like this.
Shang Xi felt like he had made things worse.
Not only did Aning not like him in men's clothing, she even seemed to dislike him a little...
Is it because his face was injured?
Shang Xi came to the table in horror and looked in the mirror.
The blood on his face had been washed away, the slap marks on his cheek had faded a little, and a scab had formed where his forehead had been hit.
Still a very beautiful face.
Even because of this injury, she looks even more pitiful and touching.
Shang Xi looked at himself in the mirror, pursed his lips, then glanced at Xiao Ning who was lying on the bed with his back to him. Finally, he picked up the ointment and applied it himself in front of the mirror.
After applying the medicine, he looked at his bloody wrist, his eyes rolled, and he went back to Xiao Ning.
"Xiao Ning, I also have an injury on my hand. How should I treat it?"
Xiao Ning turned his back to him and said, "Call me brother-in-law."
Shang Xi: “…”
Shang Xi pursed his lips and called out reluctantly, "Brother-in-law."
Xiao Ning then sat up, held Shang Xi's hand, and looked at his wrist.
Shang Xi shivered from the heat of Xiao Ning's hand.
Xiao Ning raised his eyes and glanced at him.
The man's cheeks were slightly red, and he looked shy and awkward, just like the princess.
When Xiao Ning raised his eyes, he had already lowered them.
In order to break the rope, Shang Xi's wrists were rubbed with several large blisters and were covered in blood.
However, a soft scab had grown on the bleeding area, but the blood blister was still clearly visible on the wrist.
Shang Xi's fair skin made the injury seem even more shocking.
Xiao Ning tightened his grip on his hand.
"How did it come to this?"
Shang Xi felt pain from the pinch and pulled his hand back.
Xiao Ning noticed it and immediately relaxed his grip.
Shang Xi said, "You guys were drawing fire over there, and I didn't want to just sit there and wait for death, so I quietly untied the hemp ropes that bound me."
"The world is so chaotic now, and you dare to wander around with just a few losers?"
"If I hadn't happened to pass by today, do you know what the consequences would be?"
Shang Xi was stunned by Xiao Ning's fierceness.
He stared at Xiao Ning blankly, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Are you... concerned about me?"
Xiao Ning never looked up, nor did he respond.
She threw Shang Xi's hand away and said, "The blood blister on your wrist needs to be pricked open with a needle."
After saying that, he got off the kang and walked out.
Shang Xi followed closely.
Xiao Ning came to the house where his subordinates lived and knocked on the door.
The door was opened quickly.
"master."
Because Shang Xi was following, the soldiers did not directly call Xiao Ning General.
"Let me use your sewing bag."
Xiao Ning said.
The soldier immediately took off his sewing bag and handed it to Xiao Ning.
"I'll return it to you later."
After Xiao Ning finished speaking, he took the sewing bag and left.
Shang Xi followed her back.
The soldier looked at him and said, "The general is very cautious. He even took him with him for these few steps, for fear that he would escape."
"It's good to be cautious."
The soldier said a few words and went back to the house.
Shang Xi also followed Xiao Ning all the way back to their house.
"sit down."
Xiao Ning ordered.
Shang Xi sat obediently on the edge of the kang.
Xiao Ning took out a needle, heated it with fire, then lifted Shang Xi's hand and punctured the blood blister.
Shang Xi groaned in pain and subconsciously pulled his hand back, but Xiao Ning held it firmly.
"Don't move."
Xiao Ning popped all the blisters and applied medicine to him before saying, "Don't let your wrist touch water for the next few days."
Shang Xi hummed in frustration, the corners of his eyes turning red because of the pain.
Xiao Ning stared at his face and suddenly felt relieved.
"Will you dare to run around alone again?"
Shang Xi lowered his eyes and whispered, "I will follow you from now on."
Xiao Ning paused as he was putting away the needle.
Then he put the needle back in place with a normal expression.
"Why are you following me? Don't you have great ambitions to achieve?"
Shang Xi: “…”
Xiao Ning said, "Go to sleep. I'll go return the needle."
Shang Xi sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her back with longing eyes.
When Xiao Ning came in after returning the needle, Shang Xi was still doing the same thing. Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Xiao Ning lowered his eyes first.
She closed the door behind her, walked to the kang, took off her shoes and got on it.
"Go to sleep, what are you still sitting there for?"
Shang Xi watched her get on the bed and lie back in the same place. He murmured with his lips, and called out in a low voice: "Aning..."
Xiao Ning interrupted him: "Call me brother-in-law."
Shang Xi: “…”
Shang Xi is a smart man.
Naturally, he noticed the change in Xiao Ning's attitude.
He clenched his fists, suddenly climbed onto the kang, grabbed Xiao Ning's shoulders with both hands, and turned the person over to face him.
Their eyes met.
Xiao Ning looked calm, but Shang Xi's eyes were red.
"Aning, you recognized me, didn't you?"
