Xiao He raised her eyes and met Lu Bei's clear and gentle gaze. She couldn't help but feel happy and relaxed a little. She smiled shyly.

"Sir, didn't you suggest that I choose a place far from human habitation to live in seclusion? I searched for a long time and finally came to this mountain forest."

"I think the environment here is pretty good, very safe, and no one will disturb me, so I built a house here."

Lu Bei was surprised and widened his eyes. "You said it's safe here?"

"And you, a girl, can build a house?"

Lu Bei raised two questions in a row.

Xiao He nodded, his big eyes clear and serious as he said, "I'm afraid of getting along with people now. Compared to humans, it seems that the beasts in the mountains are quite friendly to me."

She suddenly blushed with shyness again. "As for building a house, I'm sorry, sir, I was just bragging. Calling my house a thatched cottage is probably an exaggeration."

"Come with me and take a look. You'll see. It's just ahead."

Lu Bei became interested and turned to look at Jiang Nan and Lu Xiaohu, "Okay, let's go take a look."

Both of them smiled and nodded.

So, Miss He turned around, picked up the basket and led the way.

Lu Bei smiled and told Jiang Nan and Lu Xiaohu about how he met Xiao He.

When I heard that this was a poor girl with amnesia who was now homeless.

Jiang Nan's eyes dimmed for a moment, and it was obvious that he felt a resonance in his heart.

Because in a sense, she has also been on the road looking for home and relatives, and she knows the feeling of confusion and helplessness.

Lu Bei looked at Lu Xiaohu, wanting to tease him to change the dull atmosphere of the journey over the past half month.

So he touched Lu Xiaohu's shoulder, smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it, Miss He is pretty, right?"

Lu Xiaohu looked up and finally nodded calmly.

Lu Bei smiled bitterly, "Okay, it's been half a month, don't dwell on that emotion anymore."

Lu Xiaohu rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "Have you forgotten what kind of person I like so quickly?"

Lu Bei was stunned, then suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, yes, I remember now."

He didn't have time to say anything.

Lu Xiaohu replied calmly.

"When a woman lowers her head and her toes are invisible, she is truly the most beautiful woman in the world!"

"boom!"

Lu Xiaohu was kicked off his horse in an instant.

"Ouch!"

Lu Bei was also stabbed in the waist by a scabbard, causing severe pain.

They both looked at Jiang Nan angrily at the same time, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Nan scolded with a cold expression, "Don't say such dirty words behind Miss He's back."

Lu Xiaohu said dissatisfiedly, "We didn't say anything about her."

Lu Bei also curled his lips and said, "That's right, we are just discussing aesthetics."

"That won't work either," Jiang Nan glared at Lu Bei.

Lu Bei frowned and rubbed his waist, "Okay, no more jokes like this."

"Well, I was trying to liven up the atmosphere, but you ruined it all."

Lu Bei shook his hands helplessly.

Jiang Nan snorted coldly, "If you really like this kind of atmosphere, why didn't you two stay in Yangzhou City and have fun?"

Lu Bei looked at Jiang Nan helplessly.

Lu Xiaohu rolled up his sleeves and said indignantly, "Hey, I won't say anything because I have to go south to learn swordsmanship, but don't you understand Brother Lu's intentions?"

"He didn't do it for you."

"Xiao Hu," Lu Bei interrupted him anxiously.

Because Jiang Nan had already realized that she had said the wrong thing, her face flushed. But she was stubborn and still looked calm, but the blush on her cheeks proved that she was pretending to be serious.

Lu Bei glanced at Jiang Nan, smiled secretly, and said to himself, Humph, did you hear that? Everyone else saw it.

But he still didn't make his point clear.

Because the situation between him and Jiang Nan was very delicate at the moment. He almost knew what Jiang Nan was thinking, and Jiang Nan should also know what he was thinking.

But the reason why neither party actively expresses their feelings is due to their backgrounds. One is a princess burdened with the mission of restoring her kingdom, the other is a young man seeking the truth behind her family's feud. Both have their own goals and responsibilities.

Once two people express their love to each other and agree to stay together forever, there will inevitably be a bond in their hearts, and one of them will have to make a choice.

Either Lu Bei gave up his own revenge and quietly stayed by the side of this woman who might become the empress.

Either Jiang Nan gave up the plan to restore the country, or after the restoration was successful in the future, she would not become an empress, but would be willing to be a woman of the world and accompany Lu Bei on his travels around the world.

But it is too early now, because if the country is successfully restored in the future, Jiang Nan will inevitably become the empress. After all, her younger brother is still too young, only eight years old, and only she can take on the responsibility.

So after Lu Xiaohu said that angrily, the whole place fell into a subtle atmosphere.

Lu Xiaohu waved his hand and said no more.

Lu Bei glanced at Jiang Nan and straightened his chest and raised his head.

Jiang Nan knew that she was in the wrong, so she curled her lips, not looking at Lu Bei, and her face turned unnaturally red.

Miss He had noticed the commotion behind her a long time ago. Seeing that they seemed to be quarreling because of her, she was immediately panicked. She wanted to turn around and comfort them, but she didn't know what to say. So she just stood there in a daze, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Jiang Nan saw Xiao He looking over and seemed to have found the stairs.

So she snorted arrogantly, took two steps forward on her donkey, and said softly, "Little Sister He, come sit here with me."

Xiao He blushed and shook his head, then turned around and pointed, "No need, we're here, look."

The three of them looked at the place where Miss He pointed.

In the middle of the forest, there was a building made of a mixture of thatch and branches. It was simple and rough, and at first glance it looked like a pile of firewood. Only when you looked closely could you see that there was still a small wooden door.

"this."

The three of them were stunned and looked strange.

Lu Bei's face twitched for a moment, but he quickly controlled himself.

Jiang Nan frowned, and his eyes softened as he looked at Miss He.

Only Lu Xiaohu couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, what kind of house is this? Isn't this someone's firewood pile?"

"Oh shit!"

Lu Xiaohu was chopped off by Jiang Nan's sword again and fell flat on his face.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lu Bei finally laughed out loud, but he was just pointing at Lu Xiaohu's miserable appearance.

Xiao He's face was filled with embarrassment and shyness. He lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes shyly, not knowing what to do.

Jiang Nan turned over and glared at Lu Bei who was still smiling.

Lu Bei suddenly choked.

Jiang Nan walked up to Xiao He and said softly, "It's quite good for a girl like you to build a house like this."

"Next, how about letting these two grown men help you renovate this house?"

Jiang Nan pointed at Lu Bei and Lu Xiaohu.

Miss He was surprised and asked, "Really?"

"Mr. Lu, are you willing to help me?"

Lu Bei came over with a smile, "I'm willing."

Lu Xiaohu also patted the dirt off his body and said, "Leave it to us."

As he said that, he walked over to Jiang Nan, pointed at her, and said fiercely, "You wait."

Jiang Nan snorted coldly and drew his sword, "What am I waiting for?"

Lu Xiaohu suddenly said with a timid look on his face, "Just wait to be amazed by the superb construction skills of Brother Lu and me."

After saying that, he ran away dejectedly.
