Mu Feng: "..."
Mu Xi was so bored he was practically bursting with boredom. I really don't know why he could stay there all day.
Mu Feng needed to find someone to help him this time, otherwise he wouldn't go back.
When Mu Xi finished fishing and started to head back, Mu Feng followed along. Mu Xi naturally didn't mind, but simply told the servants to add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Mu Feng: "..."
The meal featured mostly fish, probably because all the fish caught in Muxi today were here.
Mu Feng picked up a piece of tender fish and took a bite, then ate a mouthful of rice in a depressed mood, watching Mu Xi eat with unhurried and polite movements.
"Muxi, come with me to Xiliang."
Mu Feng put down his bowl and immediately began to speak. He couldn't eat anymore and was extremely worried.
Mu Xi ate calmly, still treating him as if he were nothing. Mu Feng, feeling choked up, decided to wait until Mu Xi finished eating before saying anything.
Mu Xi served mouthwash and a handkerchief, then turned her gaze to Mu Feng, who was standing to the side, and said softly, "Give me a few days."
Mu Feng was taken aback, then overjoyed. Mu Xi's words meant she agreed to go to Xiliang! That's great.
But after the initial excitement, Mu Feng realized he hadn't eaten anything and could only find a few large white steamed buns in the kitchen to eat.
Tonight we're having fish. Dou Shiliu sees that all the fish are nutritious and look quite tempting.
She ate it all up; the fish was incredibly tender. Dou Shiliu smiled and patted her stomach. After a quick digestion, she lay back down on the bed and went to sleep.
As night fell, Mu Feng went to the guest room, and Xiao Wu quietly entered Mu Xi's room.
He knelt down and bowed his head: "Master..."
Mu Xi paused slightly in her hand holding the book, her eyes still fixed on it, and subtly turned the page: "Have you eaten?"
"I'm done eating."
"Okay, go ahead."
Xiao Wu was puzzled, but he still looked away, even though he didn't understand why his master wanted him to check if An Yi had eaten.
Mu Xi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He placed the book on the shelf, then slid his wheelchair and used his internal energy to get onto the bed.
The candlelight quietly went out.
A good night's sleep
...
For several days in a row, Dou Shiliu ate delicious fish, and servants came to change her bandages. It was probably because the body of the secret guard was often injured. In just a few days, she recovered almost completely and could now get out of bed and walk around.
That day, Zero came to call her, saying that the master wanted to see her.
Dou Shiliu was naturally very happy to go see Muqi in the study.
Mu Feng smiled gently as he painted, his eyes remaining calm and serene.
"master"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xi turned his gaze and saw her hopping and skipping around, which reassured him slightly. He then put down his ink brush.
Mu Xi raised her eyes and looked at Dou Shiliu, "Go to Xiliang."
Dou Shiliu: "?"
Mu Feng: "?"
Mu Feng was a little confused. Did that mean Mu Xi wouldn't go? He couldn't help but say, "Mu Xi... I hope you go."
Mu Xi spoke calmly, "She's my right-hand woman," then glanced at Dou Shiliu, a faint smile appearing on her face, "An Yi Chong won't disappoint me."
Dou Shiliu's words of refusal caught in her throat, and she couldn't say them. Looking at the cannon fodder's big smile, she forgot everything and agreed without hesitation.
"good"
...
A few days later, in a carriage in the suburbs, Dou Shiliu stared straight ahead at the road.
Mu Feng spoke to her, "I feel like you're as quiet as Mu Xi. You haven't said a word the whole way."
Dou Shiliu was speechless. What did they have to say to each other? His eyes flashed with indifference, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the riding whip.
The horse also quickened its pace.
Dou Shiliu couldn't understand why the two of them would take a carriage instead of riding two horses at full gallop.
Mu Feng chattered noisily on the side.
Suddenly, a rope rose into the air from the road ahead, right in the middle, and the horse was moving so fast it seemed it couldn't stop.
Dou Shiliu and Mu Feng could only use their internal energy to fly up into the tree, while the horses below were tripped up by the force of the fall, their necks almost breaking, and the carriage was shattered into pieces.
Her eyes widened slightly, then she turned to look at Mu Feng, who had a serious expression on his face. "What's this?"
"They're probably plotting against us."
Dou Shiliu: "..." Can you please stop talking nonsense?
Suddenly, black-clad assassins appeared, swords in hand, and attacked them. Dou Shiliu immediately drew the soft sword from his waist.
She immediately engaged in battle with a group of black assassins, and Mu Feng joined the fight alongside her.
After a long while, Dou Shiliu's eyes turned bloodshot, and he lightly swept his hand across the neck of the last assassin. Before Mu Feng could stop him, he had already breathed his last.
Mu Feng frowned: "How are we going to know who sent them now?"
Dou Shiliu sheathed his sword, his cold gaze sweeping over the corpses, and said calmly, "Their horses should be nearby. Let's look for them."
Then, ignoring Mu Feng, he walked alone towards the place where the assassins had come out. Mu Feng touched the assassin's corpse but found nothing. Watching Dou Shiliu walk away, he simply abandoned the corpse and followed after him.
Sure enough, there were several fast horses not far away. Dou Shiliu flipped over and mounted one in one go, his handsome features exuding a heroic spirit.
Mu Feng casually picked a horse and sat down, looking at Dou Shiliu and saying, "I shouldn't have any enemies."
Dou Shiliu: "You say there isn't, then there isn't?"
Mu Feng: "I'm here to find reinforcements for my own country."
He abruptly stopped speaking, and Mu Feng asked seriously, "Is there a mole?"
He said that as long as Mu Xi came, they would win a great victory. Only the higher-ups knew this, which is why someone is now trying to assassinate them.
Dou Shiliu was unaware of their internal situation, but Mu Feng said there were no enemies, so it was possible that the enemy had colluded with their own people and then sabotaged things.
"Let's be careful on our way."
Mu Feng nodded seriously.
Dou Shiliu and he rode at full speed to Xiliang, which would take several days and nights, so they found an inn to stay in before dark.
"Please come in, sir. Would you like something to eat?"
Dou Shiliu: "Rice, meat, beef, pork, a soup, and a pot of wine."
Mu Feng: "..."
Dou Shiliu ignored him and went to find a seat under the waiter's guidance.
"Please wait a moment, sir, it will be right there."
Mu Feng sat down. "We shouldn't drink."
Dou Shiliu glanced at him: "Who said you could drink it? I'm drinking it."
Mu Feng: "..." Even if you're drinking it, you shouldn't be so self-righteous, right?
Isn't it said that bodyguards are cold and vigilant? The one in front of him is just like the kind of person who's been through the wrestling world.
Oh, Mu Feng remembered that she was also particularly aloof on the way here, so she didn't want to talk to him before?
The waiter brought over some peanuts, and Dou Shiliu peeled and ate a few.
