Tao Cheng walked in the bamboo forest with a sword in his hand, glanced back, and stopped walking.

"Come out!" Tao Cheng said coldly.

Xiao Yuan shrugged his shoulders, and walked out casually.

"Why are you following me?" Tao Cheng looked at him coldly.

"I didn't follow you." Little Harajuku whistled, "It's just going the same way."

As soon as Tao Cheng lifted his footsteps, Xiao Yuan immediately followed.

"Yuan Jin, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xiao Yuan cleared his throat and said seriously, "I want to see what you've been doing recently?"

"It's none of your business, don't follow me anymore." After glancing at him, Tao Cheng jumped away.

Xiao Yuan continued to follow, Tao Cheng ignored him.

Followed to the wilderness in the outskirts, suddenly saw a group of people approaching, Tao Cheng immediately hid behind the mound, Xiao Yuan followed him.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yuan asked with a slight frown.

After a pause, Tao Cheng said calmly, "Recently, a group of mountain tyrants have set up camps. I don't know what their intentions are? /p>So come and have a look."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyes and asked him.

"Tell you? Ask your son to visit? See if there is any cooperation?" Tao Cheng stared at him with black eyes.

Xiao Yuan was at a loss for words, this is really something his young master can do.

"Hey, didn't your lord take my young master down? Naturally, my young master wouldn't do what your lord forbade him to do, so he turned his head away.

As soon as the team left, the two came out.

"The places outside Shandian County are not under the control of my adults, but for the safety of the people in Shandian County, we must find out why they came here!" Tao Cheng said coldly.

"Do you need help?"

"No need." After Tao Cheng finished speaking and left, Xiao Yuan froze in place, looking up at his back as he walked further and further away.

In the market, Baida is picking up goods.

"Brother Bai, the goods you selected have been packed into the carriage." A servant came over and stood beside him and said respectfully.

Bai Da clapped his hands and stood up, nodded, "Then go back, don't choose anything else."

"Yes!" Bai Da came here to help Xiao Xi a year ago. He used to be a villain who didn't understand anything, but now he is the big shopkeeper of several shops.

"Brother Bai, Mr. Zhao is here."

As soon as I got back to the store, a young servant came out to report in a hurry.

Bai Da was stunned for a moment, unable to react, and rushed in immediately.

"Mr. Zhao?"

Just as Zhao Youjing stood up, he laughed when he heard Bai Da's voice, and turned around, "Good boy, long time no see."

"Mr. Zhao, it's really you!" Bai Da was shocked.

"What, miss me?"

"I want to!" Baida came over, "Mr. Zhao, sit down and I'll pour you tea!" "No, Baida, I want to find Xiao Xi."

"Lord Xiao, he should be in the county government office now."

Yu Lin has been running around Xiao Xi's place a lot lately, but Xiao Xi has always had the same attitude towards him, neither neglecting him nor being enthusiastic towards him.

"Lord Xiao, can I have a look at your paintings?" Yu Lin saw a stack of ink paintings on the counter, and couldn't help asking with interest.

"En." Xiao Xi replied without raising his head.

Yu Lin picked up the drawing paper and flipped through it page by page.

Xiao Xi was reading official documents on the desk and had no time to pay attention to him.

After a long time, Xiao Xi had finished reading and put down his pen, while Yu Lin was still standing there.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xi wondered.

Yu Lin turned his back to him, Xiao Xi couldn't see his expression.

"It's okay." Yu Lin arranged the paintings, and turned around, "You are so engrossed in the paintings, I was amazed." Yu Lin said absent-mindedly.

"It's okay." Xiao Xi didn't pay much attention to him, and stood up, "It's already lunch time, let's eat first."

"En." Yu Lin nodded, keeping his eyes on him.

After eating, the two walked in the courtyard.

"Xiao Xi, you have been ignoring my feelings for you, is it because you already have something in your heart?" Yu Lin still couldn't help asking.

Xiao Xi narrowed his eyes, and his heart sank, "No, don't make wild guesses."

"Since that's the case, how about you answer me?" Yu Lin's eyes were stained with anticipation.

Xiao Xi looked at him with cold pupils, "No intention, how should I respond to you."

Yu Lin choked on the spot, then smiled indifferently for a moment, "It's okay, anyway, I'm by your side now, no matter whether you respond or not, I'm by your side now."

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Xi gave a slight "hmm".

"Xiao Xi." A hasty voice came from far and near, Zhao Youjing immediately rushed forward when he saw Xiao Xi himself, so excited!

Xiao Xi was very surprised, so he forgot to push him away, "Zhao Youjing, why are you here?"

"If you don't go back to the imperial capital, I will find an opportunity to find you! Xiao Xi, we haven't seen each other for two years! I miss you so much!" Zhao Youjing's little heart trembled, seeing Xiao Xi was so excited!

Woohoo, he hasn't seen Xiao Xi for two years, he misses him so much!

Xiao Xi smiled lightly when he heard this, and couldn't bear to push him away for a while, "Zhao Youjing, long time no see, I miss you very much."

"Xiao Xi woo woo..." Zhao Youjing rubbed against Xiao Xi's body.

"Mr. Zhao, you've had enough tofu, can you let go of my lord?" Tao Cheng who came over said angrily.

"Tao Zi, you are so annoying! After two years, you still look like this!" Zhao Youjing reluctantly let go.

Tao Cheng didn't want to talk to him.

"Cough cough."

Yu Lin coughed twice before Zhao Youjing noticed him.

"Yu Lin, he is my good friend, Zhao Youguo."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao." Yu Lin smiled politely at Zhao Youjing, and was relieved after confirming that it was not this person.

"Hello." Zhao Youjing nodded to him indifferently, then turned to pester Xiao Xi again.

At night, Xiao Xi and Zhao Youjing drank and chatted alone under the moonlight.

"Xiao Xi, haven't you seen him in the past two years?" He obviously didn't want to ask, but after a glass of wine, Zhao Youjing still couldn't help asking.

Xiao Xi sat down with a glass of wine, then smiled, "No, isn't he very busy? The battle of the wild slaves just ended recently.

"Well, the battle has been won, and the emperor didn't know what to reward him if he wanted to? All the gentry are scrambling to launch their own daughters into the Hao Palace." Zhao Youjing curled his lips in disdain.

Xiao Xi smiled indifferently, "This is also normal!" "That's right, according to King Hao's outfit, even if he is old, there are still women being pushed into Prince Hao's mansion." Zhao Youjing sighed.

Xiao Xi smiled lightly, but didn't speak.

Zhao Youjing raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xi, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter with that Yu Lin? I don't believe that he is just your business partner 1" Xiao Xi smiled helplessly, "As you think !" Zhao Youjing sputtered, and said angrily, "You are mine, no one can take you away丨" Xiao Xi just smiled and said nothing.

"By the way, how did you get here in the past two years?"

"It's just like that, there's nothing to say." Xiao Xi wrote lightly.

"Okay." Zhao Youjing nodded, since Xiao Xi didn't want to say it, Zhao Youjing would not force it, but Zhao Youjing in the imperial capital still knew a little about Xiao Xi's basic situation.

"Come here, let's drink. It's been a long time since we drank together." Zhao Youjing raised his glass.

Xiao Xi nodded and clinked glasses with him.

Looking at the full moon above his head, Xiao Xi rolled his eyes, "It's been a long time indeed!"

"Why, are you happy to see me?" Zhao Youjing smiled like a sneaky cat.

"En." Xiao Xi nodded.

Zhao Youjing was happy in his heart, he looked at Xiao Xi quietly, after two years of seeing each other, Xiao Xi had changed a lot, but Zhao Youjing liked such a simple Xiao Xi even more.

The next day, before Xiao Xi left the room, Zhao Youjing got up to look for him.

"I have nothing to do today, but I can take you around Shandian County."

"Well, I also want to see this place where you have lived for two years?" Zhao Youjing said cheerfully.

After breakfast, Xiao Xi took Zhao Youjing out for a stroll, Yu Lin, who came a step late, was in vain, and no one was waiting.

"My lord, we have an appointment with the merchant this morning, let's go and have a look first! Go and pay a visit." Xiao Yuan stood behind him and spoke.

Yu Lin had no choice but to go back.

At this time Xiao Xi was taking Zhao Youjing for a stroll.Shandian County is not big, and there are not many places to visit. Many of them have been developed in the past two years.

"I heard that Tao Zi is only taking over the business now, the rest..." Zhao Youjing glanced at Xiao Yun who was following behind them.

"Well, I let him do things independently. He has been with me for several years, so he should have his own ideas."

"Xiao Xi."

"Ok?"

"I really like you more and more." Zhao Youjing said with a deadpan face.

Xiao Xi shook his head with a smile and remained silent, no matter what Zhao Youjing said was true or not, he would not go into it.

When the two returned to their residence, a servant hurried out to report.

"My lord, Master Tao is injured."

Xiao Xi's heart tightened when he heard this, and he immediately strode in.Zhao Youjing hurriedly followed.

"Young master, don't worry, it's not a serious injury."

Before Xiao Xi walked in, he heard Tao Cheng's calm voice.

"How did it hurt?" The doctor is already bandaging the wound, Xiao Xi took a closer look, the wound is really not big, only the surface of the chest.

"I met a few thieves and got ambushed."

Xiao Xi frowned.

However, Zhao Youjing noticed Tao Cheng's open upper body, with large and small wounds, although healed, it looked shocking.

Seemingly seeing Zhao Youjing's gaze, Tao Cheng put on his own clothes after bandaging.

Zhao Youjing's heart sank, and he looked away.

After leaving the door, Zhao Youjing raised his eyes and asked Xiao Xi, "Tao Zi, how did you get hurt?"

Xiao Xi waved his hand, he didn't want to say now, "I'll tell you later!" After finishing speaking, he went back to the room.

It was night, and Tao Cheng stood under the moonlight, recalling the scene during the day, and went to investigate those bandits by himself, but he was ambushed as soon as he arrived there. Fortunately, a man rushed out suddenly and rescued him.

Although he didn't see the man's face, Tao Zi could probably guess who he was.

"Didn't you say it won't appear again?" Tao Cheng sighed softly in his heart.
