On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the military conscription was over, and stores began to open on the streets one after another. There were also a few pedestrians, but not many.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the streets came alive with the laughter of children. Of course, it was not much, but it was enough to send a signal to everyone in Anbu County.

Safe.

Recruitment is not the most terrifying thing for the people. The most terrifying thing is that the government officials will reach out to the people during the recruitment process, especially during the new year, making the already poor family even more difficult.

But last year, for some reason, those people restrained themselves a lot. On the sixth day of the new year, which was not like the new year, the prosperity of the past was restored again.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, a person was also welcomed into the small courtyard.

Early in the morning, the servant opened the courtyard door and saw a tall, sword-wielding man with strong features but an exceptionally pale complexion.

To be honest, the servant was really scared at this time, but she refrained from screaming. Instead, she timidly asked the man: "Who are you looking for?"

Their head family didn't even dare to do anything to the county magistrate. In this town of Anbu, even the county magistrate wasn't afraid. Who else?

The man's pale face was cold and hard, with no more than one expression, but his voice trembled slightly: "Mrs. Yu."

Looking for the owner?

The servants didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly went to report.

Yu Wei was already up now, but he didn't dare to stay in bed. Xuan Wuli's oath was still swaying in front of his eyes.

When she heard the servant say that someone was looking for her, she followed him to the door wearing single clothes and a fox fur cloak.

When she got to the door, she was stunned. She looked carefully at the man outside the door, who was also looking at her, with longing that she didn't want others to see hidden in her amber pupils.

Yu Wei took a few steps forward, and his face wrapped in snow-white down suddenly smiled: "Ajiu, so you look like this."

Ah Jiu's heart dropped after half a year, and he showed his first smile after taking off the mask. It was a little stiff, but it really came from the heart.

The princess didn't blame him.

"My subordinate is late."

Yu Wei led the people inside, laughing as he said, "It's not too late, have you had breakfast? My cook is average at everything else, but the buns taste great."

Ah Jiu followed and walked in. There was no barrier between the two of them communicating. One said something and the other responded.

Xuan Wu stood in the house, looking at the two people outside through the window, his eyes dark.

The two children stood at the door and looked at Ah Jiu, seemingly in disbelief. Is this their Uncle Ah Jiu?

Ah Jiu entered the house and saw the person standing by the window. This person has been eating and living with the princess for more than half a year...

Thinking of the general saying to him: "When you go back, keep an eye on that man and don't let anything get close to your princess."

Yu Wei was still asking him: "Has your injury healed? It's been almost half a year, your cultivation should have recovered, right?"

Ah Jiu replied to her: "I've recovered and made some progress."

Yu Wei expressed satisfaction. It seemed that his master was very kind to him and treated others well.

Then she looked at Xuan Wu and introduced: "This person you have met, Xuan Wu, because of some things in the past, I am now walking with him..."

Ah Jiu knew a little bit. The general told him about this matter, but even the general didn't know the specific reason.

"Mr. Xuan, this is Ah Jiu, the masked Ah Jiu next to me that you have seen."

Now that Ah Jiu is in front of the public, his identity must also be made clear.

Seeing the two of them greeting each other, she asked again: "Now that you have taken off the mask, what will we call you in the future?"

Ah Jiu whispered: "My subordinates are now the princess's people, and the princess can be called whatever she wants."

Yu Wei asked him: "Where is your original name?"

"Cheng Yan."

"Then how about calling me Cheng Yan?"

"My subordinate Cheng Yan is at the disposal of the princess."

After dinner, Yu Wei arranged a room for Cheng Yan: "We'll stay for two more days and then go to Yao Valley."

Cheng Yan nodded, still reticent.

Yu Wei sighed: "It's good to be back. If you're not here, I always feel like something is missing."

Cheng Yan's hand trembling slightly as he tidied the mattress, then returned to normal: "It's my subordinate's fault."

"It's your fault for what you did. You were seriously injured like that. Is it possible that you can still run on your own?"

Cheng Yan remained silent.

"Okay, I really don't blame you. There are a few people who can stop what he wants to do, and he will come back. Don't make it your own fault."

As soon as Yu Wei left, Qingfeng Qinming and two others appeared.

"Okay, brother, you're good at it!"

"You are the first secret guard to get into this situation, brother."

"..."

On Yu Wei's side, when he came out of Cheng Yan's place, he met Ah Jiu.

She looked across the study room and wondered: "There will be no class today?"

"Study today."

Yu Wei nodded and passed by. Behind her, Xuan Wu asked her: "You treat Ah Jiu differently from others. Why?"

Yu Wei turned around and looked at him. She actually didn't need to think about this problem at all.

"You know I am not her. Ah Jiu has been protecting me from the beginning. We have grown from mutual suspicion to mutual trust. Of course, it may be that I am unilaterally suspicious, but it is precisely because of his presence that I am very confident. I was never timid when facing the Xu family because I knew I would not be hurt and someone would stand up in front of me as soon as possible."

"You may not know how weak I was at that time. The sense of security that I could have with my back against a big tree was something that only Ajiu could give me at that time."

Xuan Wu stared at her closely, took a step forward, and said aggressively: "You are also very weak now. The prison has a hundred ways to kill you, but I protected you!"

Yu Wei was panicked by his stare, and forced herself to retreat, quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.

The moment Xuan Wu looked at her shrinking eyes, he regretted his impulsiveness. He was so crazy!

But the words have been spoken halfway, and if we run away again, the misunderstanding will only become deeper.

He was like a trapped beast eager to find a breakthrough: "Didn't I bring you a sense of security? Why are you so defensive of me?"

It's like a true heart has been trampled on, regardless of what the heart contains.

Yu Wei suddenly had an idea and nodded fiercely: "Of course, I feel at ease with you all the way. You are a friend I can trust, but you are so powerful that you can make me put away my secrets at will." I am exposed in front of you, what should I do if one day you stop protecting me!"

Xuan Wu didn't expect that she would say so much. The last sentence directly calmed his inexplicable mania.

After calming down, he realized what he had said. In an instant, he was so overwhelmed with shame that he couldn't help but run away.

Before leaving, he said: "Be obedient and I will protect you."

obedient?

Is she a dog?

Yu Wei gritted his teeth. As expected, he couldn't expect any kind words to come out of his mouth.

This old turtle is quite obsessed with comparison...

Two days later, when I saw Xuan Wu again, it was already the day before I left.

Yu Wei let go of all the servants in the yard, and the driver who drove Xuan Wu became Lao Li. It turned out that the driver who gave the money and let people go, and Yu Wei's driver became Cheng Yan.

The group set out again. This time, after three months, they arrived in Xizhou when the weather got warmer.
