Jiangshan side

【Ming City·Imperial Palace】

On the day after the battle that day, Nanping really showed his exemption card, and Hou Ye followed Baili Ge's instructions before leaving and immediately returned to the court.Four days passed, and the soldiers who went on the expedition returned to the imperial capital and stationed outside the imperial capital one after another, waiting for the emperor's arrangement.

The generals were received by the Lord Houye, and galloped all the way into the palace. Naturally, they were rewarded for their merits. After a series of ceremonies to receive the soldiers back to the court, the Lord Houye Wan Tengci met with Deputy General Qian Lin alone at Longyuan Pavilion.

"Where is Bailige?" Hou Ye Guojun Wan Tengci frowned, his eyes were anxious and worried, "I don't believe what you said before, he is counting soldiers and won't come back for the time being."

"Your Majesty, please turn away from the left and right sides." Qian Lin said.

"Okay, you all step down." Wan Chengci glanced at the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs.

When only Qian Lin and Wan Qici were left in Longyuan Pavilion, Qian Lin suddenly knelt down and said in horror: "Your Majesty is the last general who has neglected his duty. The great general... the great general is missing! His life and death are unknown!"

"What?!" Wan Tuci turned his lips white and stood up, with an incredulous expression on his face, "How is it possible!! Baili him!! He is so good at martial arts!"

"Your Majesty, the general suddenly turned back while our army was retreating and asked our army to retreat first, but...but the last general waited all night and did not see the general come back." Qian Lin said truthfully.

"This... didn't you find him?!" Wan Chengci roared in astonishment.

"Your Majesty, calm down because the last general really doesn't know where the general has gone... There is nowhere to be found. At the beginning, Deputy General Yin Xie also went to protect him, but he was still lost." Qian Lin was heartbroken, and the old man burst into tears, " At the end of the day, the general will not dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army, he will not dare to send a large army..."

Wan Tengci couldn't say a word, but just slapped the table hard, furious.

"Your Majesty, the disappearance of the general must be made public... we can only send someone to investigate secretly." Qian Lin suggested.

"Well, I see, you go back and rest."

"Yes, I will retire at the end."

Tuliu Wan Tuci sat back on the dragon chair exhaustedly, his eyes gradually lost and empty.

【Ming City East Gate】

When Guan Yixiao pulled the ox cart to the door, he was stopped by two guards as expected.He smiled and rolled his eyes, then said softly and coquettishly:

"Brother guard, don't you remember me?"

The guard looked at him for a while, then suddenly realized with a smile: "You... shut up! Yoyo, why is our famous actor so downcast?"

"Don't mention it~~" Guan Yixiao said coquettishly: "I haven't sung well recently, and I was sent to do odd jobs, don't mention how miserable it is..."

"My mother, what's the matter with your stinky body?!" Another guard covered his nose.

"Oh, these people are doing business and transporting dung!" Guan Yixiao stomped his feet and said, "I don't want to either... Oh, it stinks, let me in quickly, I'm still waiting to take a bath..."

"What kind of feces is this?" The guard held his nose curiously and wanted to check it out.

"Oh~" Guan Yixiao suddenly put his arms around his arm: "How dare you dirty the guard's armor? Come, let me show you." As he spoke, he carefully took the shovel next to him, lifted a little of the curtain and cleaned it. A spoonful came out and handed it to the guard.

"Mmmmmm—it stinks, go in!"

Guan Yixiao grinned, put the shovel inside, and pulled the ox cart to leave.

Suddenly a voice floated over coldly: "Aren't you afraid that there are people hiding in him?"

Guan Yixiao froze, turned around and saw a handsome man in black, staring at him with cold eyes.

He scolded Cheng Yaojin in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Who are you?"

The man narrowed his eyes: "Who am I and what does it matter to you?"

Guan Yixiao cursed in his heart, and smiled on the surface: "Young man, I just dragged some dung into the city, even if I hide people inside, I will be smoked to death, right?"

The man raised his eyebrows: "Just talking casually, why bother to argue."

Where the fuck did you come from?Guan Yixiao jumped up and down in his heart, still smiling on the surface: "Brother guard and I are old acquaintances, how can you let your words ruin our relationship?" He said, winking at the two guards, and said : "Recently there have been frequent wars, and Mingcheng, as the capital of the Houye, has naturally undergone strict trials, but this young man does not look like a person from the Houye Kingdom, but looks like a Congdong Gao."

As soon as he said Donggao guards, he immediately became vigilant, stepped forward and said to the man, "Who are you? What's your name?"

The man glanced at the guard indifferently, then looked away lightly: "It's just a ranger, Mu Jingnian."

"Ranger? I'm sorry, but you can't enter this city." The guard said seriously.

"That's right, someone who has no status or status, looks like an assassin!" Guan Yixiao added viciously, and then said coquettishly: "Brother guard, I want to take a bath, my whole body smells so bad~~"

"Okay, go in quickly!" The guard covered his nose and gave him one.

Guan Yixiao immediately thanked him in a charming and authentic manner, then got on the bullock cart and rushed straight into the city, not forgetting to glare triumphantly at the man named Mu Jingnian.

He hummed a ditty and drove all the way to the actor's hall, regardless of the disgusting looks cast on the road.

In fact, Guan Yixiao also called that suffering in his heart. Not to mention the painstaking efforts to transport Bailige back from the border, he came up with this trick in order to enter Ming City, sacrificing his proud body fragrance, It's also very hard work.

He turned a corner and was about to sneak into the back door of the actor's hall when suddenly a familiar black shadow descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

After seeing that face clearly, Guan Yixiao couldn't help screaming: "Why is it you?!"

Mu Jingnian still had that indifferent expression, his eyes seemed to poke a hole in him: "Your name is really Guan Yixiao?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Guan Yixiao was forced to take a step back by his murderous intent: "Hey, how did you get into the city?"

"Why is it difficult to enter the city?" Mu Jingnian said expressionlessly, "It's just that I was too lazy to turn over the top of the city, so I went through the door."

Guan Yixiao saw that he was handsome, so he was a rare man, but the current situation was special, so he didn't care about getting lucky.He rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said: "Excuse me, give in, I still need to take a bath."

Mu Jingnian didn't move at all, and glanced at the ox cart: "Who is inside?"

Guan Yixiao immediately stretched out his hand in front of the bullock cart like a hen guarding its cubs: "Why? You wanted to expose me in front of the city gate, and now you want to get to the bottom of it. What kind of grudge do you have with you?!"

Mu Jingnian frowned beautifully; "It's just curiosity, it doesn't matter whether you expose it or not."

Guan Yixiao frowned, thinking that this handsome man must be strong in martial arts, maybe he could pierce his ears through the wall, and it might ruin his business, so he had to find a way to drive him away.Thinking of this, he immediately took out the shovel in the bullock cart, and handed the cow dung directly to Mu Jingnian's face: "Get out of the way."

Mu Jingnian frowned and stepped back a few feet, but he didn't go far.

Seeing that he still didn't leave, Guan Yixiao simply threw a shovel of cow dung over it: "I beg you, hurry up, sir!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jingnian turned around and disappeared into the air like a phantom.Guan Yixiao blinked blankly, looked around and saw no one, and immediately pushed the ox cart into the back door of the actor's hall.

【Ming City·Jianxiao Pavilion】

Bathed in petals, the body is full of fragrance.

Guan Yixiao carefully placed the red string with pearls on it on the table, touched it with a dazed expression.

Suddenly he cheered up and jumped up from the chair again. With his long black hair coiled up by a silver crown and a white and red robe, he walked out of the room with steam in his eyes. In front of the mirror, Gu Ying turned around a few times in self-pity, and then shouted three times: "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a violent cough in the corner.

"Ah, baby... oh no, no, General Baili!"

Guan Yixiao hurriedly flew to Bailige who was sleeping in the corner like a butterfly, looking worriedly at the man who was about to wake up with moist eyes.

Bailige finally opened his eyes under his eager gaze. After seeing him in a daze for a while, he was taken aback: "...off?"

Seeing that he still recognized her when he woke up, Guan Yixiao burst into tears: "General Baili, you're awake..."

Bailige turned over vigilantly, almost bumping into Guan Yixiao who lowered his head: "Where is this?"

"This is my boudoir." Guan Yixiao patted his chest softly and said, "General, you were injured in Xing'er Forest on the border, and you lay motionless on the ground. You scared me to death."

"Why are you at the border?" Bailige stared at Guan Yixiao strangely and asked, then frowned and sniffed his own clothes, his face immediately paled: "Why is it so stinky?!"

"I have been following the general to the border, but you seem to be very busy, and I couldn't find you for a long time." Guan Yixiao blinked a pair of winking eyes and said: "Later, I ran into you in Xing'er Forest and was surrounded by enemy troops, so I rescued you." Afterwards, I used a bullock cart to cover people’s eyes and ears to pull you back, and I packed some cow dung in order to enter Ming City... What’s wrong with you?!"

Bailige suddenly covered his shoulders and frowned, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Guan Yixiao was terrified, and quickly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his sweat: "I've already bandaged it? Could it be..."

"Toxic." Baili Ge said with a sullen face, "I will borrow your place to take a bath."

"Huh? Let me help you."

Bailige glanced at Guan Yixiao, his mouth twitched, he gritted his teeth and stood up: "No need."

"The general hates me?" Guan Yixiao pouted resentfully.

The corner of Bailige's mouth continued to twitch: "If the poison is infected, you will not be immune."

"Ah!" Guan Yixiao patted his chest with a frightened expression: "But you can do it by yourself, General."

Before he finished speaking, Bailige walked straight into the bathroom without saying a word.

"Oh, I wanted to see General Kong Wu's powerful body..." Guan Yixiao turned around with his hands behind his back, with an expression of "it's a pity".

Suddenly there was a flash in his eyes, and he suddenly changed his steps, and in an instant came to the window of Jianxiao Pavilion, looking out the window vigilantly.

"Mu Jingnian..."

Who is this elusive guy?
