The prince's personal bodyguard

In the dark, Dongfang Gu saw all this and took a breath. He didn't expect Bai Xinyin to have such great ability, which led to his loss of troops. The snake charmer was a master he had invited from southern Xinjiang at a high price. When he came, he patted his chest and made a "pa pa" sound, guaranteeing that nothing would go wrong and that Mu Yunxiao would be buried under his hands. In the end, he died without even a wave of water.

Dongfang Gu gnashed his teeth as he watched the assassins who were ambushing in the sand being bitten to death by the snakes one by one. He let Mu Yunxiao escape again. But thinking that there was a "death ship" ahead, almost no one could get out alive. Dugu Feng was lucky last time. He whistled happily again.

"Shhhhh..." Dongfang Gu's sharp and piercing whistle immediately spread. Listening to the military advisor blowing the untuned whistle, it seemed to pierce people's eardrums. The guards beside him looked at him in horror, their faces pale, and their bodies trembling involuntarily. "Military advisor... or, you, you should stop blowing..." A guard's lips trembled, his voice full of fear, "If you attract those snakes again... we will be dead!"

"Get out!" Dongfang Gu's eyes widened with anger. He stopped whistling and kicked the guard.

Listening to the surrounding environment gradually quieting down, Bai Xinyin and Mu Yunxiao walked hand in hand towards the depths of the desert.

Dongfang Gu narrowed his eyes as he watched the two people walking away. "Retreat!" After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, he went back to sleep. He ordered people to strengthen their vigilance and be alert to the people coming from the other side at any time.

Bai Xinyin and Mu Yunxiao walked about a mile and stopped in front of a crooked poplar tree. This kind of tree is quite common on the edge of the desert.

"What's wrong? Ayin." Seeing Bai Xinyin leaning against the tree and not moving, Mu Yunxiao became confused.

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Bai Xinyin put her finger to her lips and said softly, with a sly smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes. She seemed to be planning some secret action, which made people look forward to her next move.

"Wait a moment, let's sneak back. The way back is easier. I don't want to go to the desert. I'm thirsty just thinking about it." She wrinkled her small nose and pouted her lips slightly, revealing her disgust for the desert and her desire for an easy return home.

"Forget about coaxing them. They really think they are so powerful. Just let them relax so that we can travel more smoothly." There was a hint of contempt in Bai Xinyin's smile. She was disdainful of those people's self-righteousness.

"That's right." Mu Yunxiao laughed softly, his voice full of admiration and love for Bai Xinyin. He looked at Bai Xinyin with eyes full of tenderness and doting, "Why didn't I think of it myself? Our A Yin is the smartest." He gently touched Bai Xinyin's hair, as if she was the most precious baby in the world.

A blush appeared on Bai Xinyin's face. She lowered her head slightly, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.

"You, have you been blinded by love?" Bai Xinyin chuckled softly.

"Wait a little longer, until they are almost asleep then we go back. It's almost midnight now and they must be tired. The fourth watch is when people are the most sleepy. Let's take a break and then set off. With our martial arts skills, as long as we don't have a head-on conflict, eight trips back and forth will be no problem." Bai Xinyin stuck out her tongue and made a face.

"Ayin knows everything." Mu Yunxiao reached out and put a strand of hair that was scattered on her face behind her ear, then sat down and let Bai Xinyin lean on him.

"You must be curious about why I have the Five Thunder Talisman? I just drew it." Bai Xinyin leaned her head on Mu Yunxiao. She knew that there were some things that Mu Yunxiao would not ask unless she told him.

"I was very surprised when I was kidnapped. That little maid was so bold that she took away all my protective gear. In fact, those gears were nothing special, just some ordinary self-defense gear. When I entered the palace that day, I did not expect the queen to be so bold as to collude with Dugu Feng, so I did not make any special preparations."

"Guess why I have these talisman papers again?" Bai Xinyin asked softly, with a hint of cunning in her eyes. She wanted to test Mu Yunxiao's reaction.

Mu Yunxiao was so smart that he immediately understood Bai Xinyin's intention. He smiled slightly and deliberately cooperated with her drama, and replied: "Did you bribe that little maid again?"

Bai Xinyin's mouth curled up and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Mu Yunxiao's answer was so wise that she couldn't help but feel happy.

However, she was not satisfied with this, she continued to ask: "No, guess again."

A gleam of thought flashed across Mu Yunxiao's eyes, and he deliberately exaggerated and said, "That's because the gods like our A Yin and sent her here personally?"

There was a hint of teasing in Mu Yunxiao's words, but more of it was his pampering of Bai Xinyin. He knew that Bai Xinyin liked this kind of interaction, so he was willing to play with her as long as she was happy.

Bai Xinyin couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing what Mu Yunxiao said. Her laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in the air, making people feel extremely happy.

Mu Yunxiao looked at her smile, and his heart was filled with warmth. He knew that as long as he could make Bai Xinyin happy, he was willing to do anything. At this moment, the tacit understanding and love between them became deeper and deeper, as if they could understand each other's intentions without words.

There is a state of getting along, where you know what to do with just one look from me? Even if I have to act stupid, it’s just to make you happy.

"Hahaha, after coming to this valley, they relaxed their vigilance against me and treated me to delicious food and drinks. I was able to get these talismans today thanks to the chefs who cooked delicious food. Dugu Feng really spent a lot of money on me, giving me several rooms of gold, silver, jewelry, clothes and so on. However, the two maids who served me were like iron walls and copper walls. I could tell from their faces that they looked like they were going to die. I simply didn't look for them."

"Knowing that I like delicious food, Dugu Feng asked people to cook for me in various ways. Some of the chefs were newly hired by Dugu Feng from outside and they didn't know much about the situation. One of them was very young, so I told him that I wanted to write down the recipes and asked him to prepare a pen for me. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it."

"Later, I said I couldn't sleep at night and asked him to buy some cinnabar to calm his nerves, and he did. I was secretly happy. I hid these things by the stream and went there to read every day, pretending to study the secret of the Dugu family's short life. By the way, I will tell you the secret of the Dugu family's short life when I come back."

"Ayin, you can say it whenever you want." Mu Yunxiao gently stroked Bai Xinyin's hair and said in a light tone.

"The day before yesterday, I told the little cook that yesterday was my grandmother's death anniversary. Oh, God! I hope my grandmother won't blame me if she knows." Bai Xinyin stroked her forehead when she said this. "I asked him to buy some talisman paper for me. Money makes the world go round. I borrowed a flower to offer to Buddha, and gave him a night-shining pearl that Dugu Feng gave me. I found the smallest one, because I didn't want the big one to be conspicuous."

"Sure enough, this little chef did not disappoint me. When he brought me the meal, he cleverly put some things in the secret compartment of the food box and sent it to me. I opened it and was immediately overjoyed. Yesterday, I sat alone by the stream for a whole afternoon, concentrating on secretly drawing a lot of talismans. Dugu Feng thought I was just obsessed with thinking about the secrets of his family, so he didn't come to disturb me. Haha, am I very smart?" At this moment, Bai Xinyin was as happy as a child, sharing her little secrets with people around her, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Our Ayin is the best!" Mu Yunxiao's face was full of doting.

"Wait a moment, there's a surprise. I'll sleep for half an hour. I haven't dared to sleep these days..."

Bai Xinyin fell asleep while talking. She really didn't dare to sleep these days. She was always on guard against Dugu Feng. Although Dugu Feng behaved like a gentleman, every night, Bai Xinyin seemed to be asleep, but she was always awake in her heart.

Today, with Mu Yunxiao around, I felt relaxed all of a sudden.

Mu Yunxiao looked at Bai Xinyin who was sleeping on him, kissed her forehead gently, changed her into a comfortable position, took off his clothes and covered her, and looked around vigilantly.
