Chapter 78: I think you are not small either!
Shen Qiunian's eyes trembled noticeably.
The image of Huo Xiao's lips at the corner that day outside the Hibiscus Pond flashed through his mind. It was the same position, with the same mark.
"General Huo..."
The words that were on the tip of Shen Qiunian's tongue went blank in an instant.
Huo Xiao saw that he was staring at the place where he was bitten by the princess, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
"If Sir Shen has nothing else to do, this general will go to rest."
"General Huo." Shen Qiunian's voice was low and deep, with a suppressed, cold and hostile tone. "Generals always leave the barracks when a major battle is imminent. Aren't you afraid of shaking the morale of the troops by abandoning your post like this?"
There was clearly a lazy smile on the corner of Huo Xiao's lips, but his eyes were so cold that people dared not look at him.
"Since the princess has come to the border with Lord Shen, this general will be fully responsible for her safety.
The eldest princess now lives in this general's residence. If I go to the general's residence to pay my respects to the eldest princess, it would be considered as abandoning my post without permission.
Lord Shen could report this to His Majesty, but I don't know whether, in His Majesty's eyes, the safety of the eldest princess is more important, or the imperial city of Xijing is more important.
Oh, right!
Suddenly I remembered something. Wasn't it Lord Shen who suggested that I send the princess to Ximen Town?
Shen Qiunian: ...
Shen Qiu Nian sneered in his heart.
Responsible for the safety of the eldest princess?
Are you responsible for your mouth?
In an instant.
Shen Qiu Nian felt as if someone was choking him.
He had originally proposed that the eldest princess live in Ximen Town because he didn't want to see her flirting with Huo Xiao in the military camp.
But he didn't expect that he would end up hitting his own foot.
What Huo Xiao said was true.
According to the emperor's current favor for the eldest princess.
Not to mention the Xijing Imperial City, even the Shengjing Imperial City.
I'm afraid none of them can be compared with the eldest princess.
Shen Qiu Nian heaved a long sigh in his heart, "It's best that General Huo knows his limits. I was worrying too much."
Huo Xiao sneered, looked at Lightning, threw the grass in his hand to the ground, and turned back to the tiger tent.
He had just taken off his armor when the scene of Su Yunyao kissing him in the general's mansion appeared in his mind again.
His fingertips landed on his lips, and the pain at the corner of his lips made his whole body numb slightly.
"General, General Ji requests an audience."
The guard's voice came from outside the tent.
Huo Xiao's eyes darkened. He put down his armor, extinguished the candle with a wave of his finger, and turned to walk towards the bed.
The sweetness of the eldest princess seemed to still linger on the bed.
He closed his eyes and turned over and over again. In the freezing cold border, there was only a charcoal fire burning in the tent, but he felt inexplicably hot.
After the guard passed the message, Huo Xiao did not respond at all and spoke with an embarrassed look on his face.
"General Ji, it's too late. General Huo has already gone to bed. If you have anything to do, why not come back tomorrow morning? General Huo trains every morning and gets up at dawn."
Ji Yan stared at the tiger tent where the lights had been turned off, and the corners of her lips were tightly tightened into a straight line.
The lights in the tiger tent were still on when she just came over.
As soon as the guard finished his message, the lights in the tiger tent went out.
Ji Yan stared at the pitch-black tiger tent, and his hands at his side suddenly tightened his military uniform.
The candle was extinguished just in time!
The next day.
When Su Yunyao woke up, it was already noon.
She lay on the bed, turned over, and yawned lazily.
"Xuan Qing."
Xuan Qing, who was dozing on the tree branch outside the window, suddenly opened his eyes.
Xuanming and Xuanxin heard the sound and flew to his side.
"Boss, the eldest princess is calling you."
The eyes under Xuanqing's mask narrowed.
Perhaps because he hadn't shown up, Su Yunyao became a little impatient and called out again.
"Xiao Xuanqing!"
Hearing the words "Xiao Xuanqing" again, Xuan Ming couldn't help but sneered, "Boss, the eldest princess is really interesting. Why does she always call you Xiao Xuanqing? I think you are not little either!"
Xuan Qing rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.
Through the gap in the window, his eyes fell on Su Yunyao again.
Xuan Xin patted Xuan Ming's arm and said, "I can't believe that the relationship between General Huo and the Princess has developed to this point..."
Before he finished speaking, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.
This inaudible laughter was instantly broken by Xuan Qing's cold snort.
His voice was clear and filled with anger, "Have you forgotten the rules of the Xuanyi Guard?"
Xuanming Xuanxin lowered his eyes upon hearing this, "I know I was wrong."
"Wait until we escort the princess back to Shengjing City and then accept the punishment yourself."
Xuan Qing's voice seemed to come from between his teeth. It was not like his usual voice. On the contrary, it sounded unusually cold and eerie.
He dodged and knelt in front of Su Yunyao.
"Your subordinate Xuanqing pays homage to the Princess."
Su Yunyao was bleary-eyed and felt very sleepy. "Why did it take so long for you to show up?"
"I just had something to deal with." Xuan Qing paused and continued, "I wonder what the princess wants me to do now?"
"This princess just remembered where I've seen that man I saw at Zui Xiang Lou yesterday."
Xuan Qing raised his eyes upon hearing this: "Princess."
"When I was in Shengjing City, this man went to Jinjing Tower to cause trouble wearing clothes covered in patches. You weren't with me at the time, so you probably didn't see him. But Xu Mubai definitely saw him and must have investigated him. He probably didn't find anything, otherwise he wouldn't have let him go so easily."
Xuan Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "I will send a message back to Shengjing City."
Su Yunyao nodded with satisfaction and yawned.
"When people are free, they should kiss more. Yesterday, I hugged Huo Xiao and kissed him, and it felt like my Ren and Du meridians were opened instantly.
This princess' silly little head suddenly became smart.
I remembered everything that happened so long ago. I usually can't remember ugly men like him."
Xuan Qing: ...
"What a toad pretending to be a frog, ugly as a flower!"
Xuan Qing: ???
After Su Yunyao finished speaking, she suddenly leaned forward and lifted Xuanqing's chin with one hand. "This princess is really curious, what does little Xuanqing look like?"
The moment the voice fell.
Su Yunyao raised her hand to take off his mask, but Xuan Qing grabbed her wrist.
He lowered his head and said, "Princess, the first rule of the Xuanyi Guard is that once you join the Xuanyi Guard, you can never show your true appearance to anyone again unless you are dead."
Show it to others?
Su Yunyao seemed to grasp the key point instantly. "Can't show it to others? It doesn't matter. I am a fairy, a god who has fallen into the mortal world, and a soul that ferry people across the Forgetful River..."
Xuan Qing: ...
"I am……"
Su Yunyao suddenly raised her hand and reached towards his mask.
Su Yunyao opened a tiny gap in the mask, revealing only a sharp arc.
