Liu Xianglian swallowed his words in an instant. He touched his nose in embarrassment, and finally sighed: "Well, I really wanted to say it."

"It's just that you don't seem to like it." Liu Xianglian looked at Lizhi with a helpless expression.

Under the moonlight, if a handsome man looks at you so intently, a normal woman will miss two beats of her heart.

However, Li Zhi was indifferent to masculinity, she just frowned, feeling that Liu Xianglian seemed to be getting more and more annoying recently: "What exactly are you here for today?"

Liu Xianglian carefully observed Lizhi's words and deeds, and found that she was really unresponsive, not only a little discouraged: "...I came today to tell you that the child from last time has been brought by my side .”

Lizhi was taken aback for a moment: "Bringed by your side?"

"Now I'm also eating at an official's house, so it doesn't matter if I raise a child," Liu Xianglian said, "It's not a big deal if Quan is my servant."

"That child is still a bit strange," Li Zhi always felt that he had missed something, "Forget it, since you have it with you, you should pay more attention."

Liu Xianglian nodded, the two of them said a few more words, and Liu Xianglian planned to leave.

But Lizhi stopped him: "Wait, don't rush away."

Liu Xianglian turned around with some doubts, not knowing what Lizhi was going to do.

Lizhi took out a small bag of pastries from her bosom, and put it in Liu Xianglian's hands: "Here, didn't you say you wanted to eat it before? The walnut cake I made today."

Liu Xianglian didn't expect to be able to have such an unexpected joy when he came here today. Holding the small bag of pastries, his heart softened inexplicably: "...is it specially for me?"

Lychee seemed a little awkward: "If you don't eat it, return it to me."

"Eat!" Liu Xianglian hurriedly put away the pastry, "You made it for me yourself, of course I love it."

Li Zhi pursed her lips and said nothing.I don't know why, but the atmosphere around me feels a little strange.

The two stood silently facing each other for a while, and finally it was Lizhi who spoke first: "You...do you have anything else to do? I'll go back when I'm fine."

Liu Xianglian hummed: "I'll come back to you in two days."

Li Zhi glared at him, but did not deny the words.She passed Liu Xianglian and walked outside.Liu Xianglian looked at the swaying back of Lizhi, holding the bag of pastries in her hand, and suddenly laughed.

Today's trip seems to be right.

In the border town, the sun has not completely set.At a glance, there is no variegated color in the yellow sand, and the fiery red sunset is close to the sky, connecting the yellow sand with the sky.

Jia Baoyu sat on a chair and looked at the sky, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Jia Baoyu and Chen Yuetang have lived in this border town since they were taken away by someone who appeared out of nowhere last time.The people in the desert area have a tough folk style, and their words and deeds are completely different from those in the capital.It didn't take long for Jia Baoyu to go from being unaccustomed to it at the beginning to being expressionless now.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and Jia Baoyu looked back, only to see the female leader of the horse bandit standing there, still dressed in red, looking like the same A dancing flame.

"You, the original man in the middle, are so strange, you just sit here every day." Mu Na walked to Jia Baoyu's side and sat down without any scruples.On the contrary, Jia Baoyu couldn't help stepping aside: "Where's my master?"

Mu Na glanced at him: "Your master is discussing something with my father, but my father won't let me listen, so I don't know."

Jia Baoyu groaned, then closed his mouth.He didn't quite know what to say to Mu Na beside him, but Mu Na didn't notice Jia Baoyu's silence, instead she was very interested: "You are from the capital, can you tell me, what is there in the capital that is different from the desert?" same place?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment. He looked at the small courtyard in front of him and said softly, "The capital...is lively, prosperous, and crowded with people. Naturally, it is also much richer."

There was a longing look on Mu Na's face: "The capital is so nice, why don't you go back?"

Jia Baoyu smiled wryly: "I traveled around with my master, and it's true that I haven't been home for a long time. I don't know what the situation at home is like now. If I want to go back now, I really can't."

Mu Na patted Jia Baoyu's shoulder sympathetically: "Man, don't say you can't do it."

Jia Baoyu:? ? ?

"Don't worry, you will be able to go home sometimes," Mu Na smiled, "Man, don't be discouraged."

Jia Baoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Well, what you said is true."

Seeing that he was no longer negative, Mu Na stood up: "Okay, then I'm leaving, it's easy to be suffocated if you stay in the house all the time."

However, before Mu Na could finish speaking, a human voice suddenly came from outside.The sound gradually began to boil from far to near.

Mu Na suddenly looked out the window, her expression became very serious.After listening for a while, she said to Jia Baoyu: "Stay inside, don't come out!"

After speaking, Mu Na hurried out the door and left.

In Rongguo Mansion, Lin Daiyu is playing chess with Yingchun.

When the battle was at a stalemate, Xue Baochai came in from the outside, and she looked a little unhappy.

Lin Daiyu noticed that the breath on Xue Baochai's body was stagnant. She was holding a white piece, but she didn't make it for a long time. Instead, she looked at Xue Baochai: "Sister Bao, what's wrong? She looks worried."

"I just got the news that a foreigner has invaded the barren northern desert." Xue Baochai looked very sad. "You also know that my elder brother went there to do business, but now, he just happened to arrive there."

Both Lin Daiyu and Yingchun understood, Lin Daiyu put down the chess pieces in her hand, and comforted her: "Sister Bao, don't panic, brother Xue is auspicious, he will be fine."

Xue Baochai sighed lowly: "I hope so."

Obviously, Xue Baochai didn't listen to Lin Daiyu's reassurance.Lin Daiyu and Yingchun looked at each other, and Yingchun said: "Sister Bao, I have some good news. I wanted to tell you, but it seems a bit inappropriate at this time..."

Xue Baochai worked hard to adjust her mood, and she smiled at Yingchun: "Second sister, but it's okay to say."

Yingchun said: "When I was playing with Zhaozhao a few days ago, I told her that you were going to the palace to do praise. Zhaozhao said that she just needs a companion. If Sister Bao is willing..."

Xue Baochai immediately understood the unfinished meaning in her words, and then cheered up a little: "If it can be like this, it's really great over there."

Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief: "It would be great if Sister Bao is willing."

This is indeed good news, but it can only relieve some of Xue Baochai's urgent needs. If there is no news of Xue Pan's safety, Xue Baochai can't rest assured for a day.

Lin Daiyu stood up and helped Xue Baochai to sit down: "Sister Bao, let's have dinner in my yard today. I'll let Lychee cook some side dishes, and bring her freshly dried wine."

Lychee was watching by the side, and upon hearing what Lin Daiyu said, she didn't wait for Xue Baochai to speak, and responded directly: "Just listen to the girl!"

After speaking, Lizhi went out, Xue Baochai wanted to speak out, but finally agreed.

In the palace, the young emperor looked at the memorial in front of him, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

He has always been mild-tempered, and because of his poor health, the emperor has developed a good skill in nourishing qi for so many years, and he will not get angry easily.

But today I couldn't hold back.

"Are you kidding me!" He grabbed the memorial in front of him and threw it on the ground, "There is an attack from the wild north desert, why did you report it now!"

The two officials kneeling down had already knocked their heads to the ground. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word. This matter was really serious. They were afraid that if one of them didn't respond well, the emperor in front of them would take them under the knife.

"You scum with corpses and vegetarian meals!" The emperor was about to go mad. "You are fighting for power and profit, and you don't think about the common people at all. Just for your own petty gain, you put thousands of people's lives at risk!"

The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and the whole person fell into a rage: "Come here! Throw the two of them out!"

The two officials were thrown out by the ruthless imperial guards, and the hall finally became quiet.

"Okay, don't be angry, let's all go out." Seeing the emperor's pale face, Liu Xianglian couldn't help persuading: "Now is not the time to be angry."

The emperor took a deep breath, and slowly sat back on the chair: "Internal and external troubles, how do you want me not to be angry."

"Have you thought about what to do?" Liu Xianglian looked at him, "Is there any general in the court that can be used?"

The emperor frowned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he shook his head: "There are still people who can be used, but... If you transfer it at will, something will happen to the Supreme Emperor. This time the candidate must be cautious. All games are lost."

Liu Xianglian smiled: "If you can't think of it, I have a candidate here, let's see how it goes."

The emperor was a little curious: "Who? I don't believe it anymore. Is there anyone else available now?"

Liu Xianglian walked in front of the emperor and said, "Master of Rongguo Mansion."

"...Jia Amnesty?" The emperor hesitated, "Can he do it?"

"It doesn't matter if Jia Amnesty can't do it, what he wants is the prestige of his Jia family in the army, and Jia Amnesty has another advantage, that is to be obedient. If you are afraid of losing the battle, you can take one more person out." Liu Xianglian seemed It doesn't matter, "What do you think of He Junqian?"

The emperor glanced at Liu Xianglian and sneered: "I think it would be more appropriate for you to go with Jia Amnesty, what do you think?"
