The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 136 Someone Invited

Those who keep watch will suffer tonight.

Although this place is located in the south of the Yangtze River and the road is not frozen, it has already been frozen.

It's very cold.

In order to perform his guard duties, Mu Ai naturally had to sit on the frame.

Because his injuries from taking care of him had not yet healed, the blanket that Mu Lu bought on the orders of the Marquis came in handy at this time, allowing him to sit here without feeling too uncomfortable.

A sip of hot tea is enough to temporarily drive away the cold.

He sat on the carriage, holding a sword in one hand and a cup of hot tea in the other, chatting quietly with Wen Yao. The little girl who had brought the hot water was sitting in the carriage at this time.

Although the walls of the carriage blocked the night wind, they couldn't keep out the cold, so she huddled up with her arms folded.

There were originally two blankets in the car, but one was taken out and given to Chu He, so there was only one left.

Mu Ai glanced at the girl who kept rubbing her hands and said, "Wrap yourself in a blanket. You won't be cold soon."

"No need, I'll go into the house in a moment." Wen shook her head. She still had to take care of Guard Chu. Besides, it would be unreasonable to leave the young lady alone there.

But for Muai...

Of course she couldn't let her go back so soon! After all, it was not easy for her to be alone with Miss Xu for once.

Although Chu He was still inside, he was half dead at the moment and could not cause any trouble.

Previously, because of Lin Jiaoyue's incident, the eldest lady refused to pay attention to the Marquis for many days. During that time, the Marquis was in a bad mood, and he and Mu Lu suffered a lot as a result.

So the two of them agreed that no matter what time, they must find ways to create opportunities for their own lord!

Only when the Marquis is comfortable can they live a good life.

Isn’t this a great opportunity right now?

So he rolled his eyes and sighed, "I was busy going to the village to get information, so I didn't eat much. I don't know if I can make it through tonight."

Wen Yao was startled: "Is Lieutenant General Ai hungry?"

Mu Ai nodded, and with a hint of disappointment: "Yes, but it's dark here, there's nothing we can do."

Wen Yao was simple-minded. She whispered, "I do know how to cook noodles, but I'm afraid my skills aren't as good as Sister Luo's."

Seeing her take the bait, Mu Ai was overjoyed: "I just want to fill my stomach now, how can I care about anything else." After saying this, he was afraid of Wen Yao's response, so he thanked her first: "Thank you very much, Miss Wen Yao."

Wen Yao had no doubts. After all, Deputy General Ai had been busy running around for their safety. She was more than willing to do something for him at this time.

So he put on his hood again, jumped out of the carriage, and went into the kitchen.

Mu Ai was overjoyed. He calculated in his mind that from lighting the fire to kneading the dough, rolling it out, cutting it, and finally cooking it, it would take at least half an hour!

Mu Ai couldn't help feeling a little proud of himself for being able to buy so much time for his master.

But, just after a cup of tea, Wen Yao came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles.

Muai: "..."

This action is too fast!

Wen Yao didn't notice his surprise. She walked under the carriage and carefully handed the bowl and chopsticks to Mu Ai. Then she smiled and said, "Fortunately, Sister Luo still had some noodles from earlier, and she left the stove on! Otherwise, it would have taken me a long time to prepare them before Lieutenant General Ai could eat."

Mu Ai: Sister Luo, thank you!

Mu Ai took the bowl, looked around and said, "You'd better go into the car and wait for me. It's too cold here."

Wen Yao knew that it would take some time to eat a bowl of noodles, so she didn't refuse. She lifted her skirt and was about to get in the car.

But the ruts of the carriage had frozen, and the place where he stepped on slipped instantly. Wen Yao leaned backward and almost fell off the carriage.

Mu Ai quickly reached out and picked her up.

The huge inertia made Wen Yao fall into Mu Ai's arms.

Both of them were stunned.

Wen shook her head, her face flushed from the busy kitchen hours earlier, a distinctively moist glow on her cheeks. But this sudden shock, like a frightened deer, bulged her eyes, her hands clutching tightly at Mu Ai's collar.

In the cold night, the man's breath was cool, but not unfamiliar.

Wen Yao came back to her senses and quickly stepped out of Mu Ai's arms, her pretty face full of apology: "I'm sorry for being rude."

"It's okay." The warmth in his arms disappeared, leaving him with an inexplicable emptiness. Mu Ai cleared his throat and said, "It's dark and the road is slippery. Let's get into the carriage first."

The two have been close since they met.

When he was in the hunting palace, he had forcibly carried Wen Yao away many times in order to create opportunities for his own lord.

The girl was stubborn and struggled desperately in his arms every time. At that time, he did not have any romantic feelings at all. All he wanted was to make her calm down quickly.

This is the first time I've been embraced like this tonight...

Perhaps he was not hungry, or perhaps the incident just now made him forget the taste of the noodles for a moment, Mu Ai ate this bowl of noodles very slowly.

Wen Yao was completely focused, waiting for him to finish eating and then clean up the dishes.

So I asked, "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"

Mu Ai shook his head and blurted out: "How can it be not delicious if you cook it?"

Wen Yao: “…”

For no reason, her face turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

Mu Ai didn't expect that he would say such a reckless thing. He quickly explained, "What I meant is that since you can serve the young lady well, you must be an extraordinary person. Doing something as simple as cooking is naturally no problem for you."

"In that case, Deputy General Ai, please eat it while it's hot." Wen Yao said, and closed the car door.

Mu Ai swallowed the bowl of noodles without a trace of taste. He could no longer hear any movement from inside the car, so he carefully opened the door and found Wen Yao already asleep inside.

After all, I was tired after a day and had been scared for a long time.

At this time, the little girl was curled up in the corner, sleeping soundly.

Sink to...

Mu Ai took the blanket from the frame into the car, laid out the mat in the car, and placed Wen Yao softly on it.

Then he took off his cloak and covered her with it.

She never woke up after this action.

Mu Ai smiled and shook his head.

Perhaps it was because the cloak he had just taken off still had a hint of warmth, Wen Yao buried his little face in it and fell into a deeper sleep.

……

The next day, the sky in the east was still dark, but the night had already faded.

Luo Xiao got up from her bed early. Looking at the empty half of the bed, she knew that the county lady must have not slept all night.

So she hurried to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone and also some noodles for the county lady to use on the road.

She was hoping that Guard Chu would wake up.

After the fright last night, Luo Yuqi slept restlessly almost the entire night. Feeling sorry for her daughter, she hoped to leave Yujia Village early today.

but……

Chu He is still in a coma.

Everyone finished their breakfast.

After Shu Qing finished taking Chu He's pulse, he discussed the matter, "Guardian Chu didn't have a fever last night, but he still hasn't woken up. I'm worried he's suppressing his injuries with his instincts. If that's the case, he could easily suffer a backlash later."

Mu Rong asked, "Are you staying here today?" Before Shu Qing could respond, a polite voice came from outside the door: "Are you guests in the house? Our owner invites you in for a chat."
