The lord can't get along with this butterfly

After staying in Qinglan City for seven days, Hua Zhuo and others packed their luggage and planned to leave for Wanqing Villa.

In the early morning when he was about to leave, the sky had just dawned. Ji Xiao came back from practicing his sword, and when he walked to the door, he saw the shadow guard helping to load the luggage in the house into the carriage.The hands and feet who have practiced light kung fu are extremely brisk, and they will not disturb Hua Zhuo to sleep when they go in and out.

Seeing Ji Xiao's return, the shadow guard hurriedly greeted him: "Young Master."

Ji Xiao nodded, his eyes fell on him inadvertently, his footsteps suddenly stopped, he raised his hand hesitantly, and pulled out a small book with yellow-brown paper from his arms without any effort.

The shadow guard showed a corner on purpose this time, and looked at him suggestively, without the slightest shame from before, and said, "Young Master."

This time it is Qinglan City version.

Ji Xiao's eyebrows twitched hard.

When did he say he wanted something like this?

Ji Xiao looked annoyed, and was about to drop the book when he raised his hand, but there was a sudden movement behind him, so he had to shrink back quickly, and took advantage of the situation to stuff the book into his bosom, so as not to be seen, and gouged out the shadow guard by the way.

The shadow guard lowered his head, pretending not to see it.

The door behind him opened, and Hua Jue came out with sleepy eyes, yawned while holding the door frame, and asked, "Why are you standing at the door?"

"It's nothing." Ji Xiao turned around, and said to him expressionlessly, "Go wash up as soon as you get up, it's time to go to the front hall for dinner."

Hua Zhuo let out an "oh", turned around and went in to wash up.

Ji Xiao gave the shadow guard a cold look, signaling to turn around and deal with him properly, he didn't throw away the words in his arms, and turned away with them.

After having breakfast with Lin Chengtian and Mrs. Lin, the two took the car and set off on the road.The journey was still boring, so Hua Jue took out a book from the package and sat there to read it.

Ji Xiao was a little surprised, "You still brought books?"

"Yes." Hua Zhuo replied.

These are what he brought to relieve his boredom on the way.

Ji Xiao frowned, and reminded: "It's better not to look at it, the road is bumpy, be careful it's not good for your eyes."

Hua Zhuo said "oh" reluctantly, but obediently threw the book back.

The package was opened, and it was scattered on the small table in front of the two of them. Apart from the one Hua Juu had just read, there were several other books in it.Ji Xiao casually took a look, and found that they were all unrefined essays and wild diaries, only the book with a cinnabar-colored cover and heavy paper at the bottom looked a little different, but on the cover there was only the words did not write.

Ji Xiao flipped through it casually, and found that the content inside was empty.

Hua Zhuo was startled, quickly put away the book, and covered it up with a smile: "It's just a book I bought casually on the side of the road. I bought it because I saw the name was strange."

Ji Xiao paused for a moment, his eyes froze on the book for a moment, and he seemed to nod his head indifferently, leaning back, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Hua Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, silently packed the package, and tied a knot by the way.

Before dark, the carriage drove to a town, just in time for a temple fair in the town, so Hua Zhuo dragged Ji Xiao to join in the fun.

The sky gradually sank, the lights on the street were brightly lit, and the crowd was bustling, bustling like daytime.Hua Zhuo held a bag of glutinous rice balls in his hand, and walked while eating. He had to look at any stall to see what was new.

When he was almost scattered by the flow of people for the third time, Ji Xiao hurriedly took two steps, went up to grab the person with a headache, frowned, and reprimanded him: "What are you running around for?"

Hua Zhuo blinked, still chewing on the hemp ball, and stuffed one into his mouth, innocently said: "There are too many people here."

Ji Xiao glanced at him in trouble, held his hand directly, swallowed the cloyingly sweet hemp ball in his mouth, led him to continue walking, and reprimanded him: "Knowing that there are many people, I still keep going forward." Run, won't you follow closely? You don't know the way, so what if you get lost?"

Hua Zhuo gave a perfunctory "Mmmm" twice, then returned the strength to hold his hand, her eyes lingered on the lively street scene, and said with a smile, "Follow closely."

The slightly cool temperature passed along the palm of his hand, Ji Xiao frowned and said, "Why is it so cold?"

Hua Zhuo raised her head and lifted the bag, poured another hemp ball into her mouth, and said, "It's cold."

Ji Xiao endured it, knowing that it would be useless to scold him, he was always like this all day long, and the internal energy in his palms spontaneously mobilized and turned into heat to cover his hands.

It was quite warm.

Hua Zhuo leaned against him again.

The few shadow guards who had been hiding in the crowd behind them consciously moved the distance further away.

After walking around for a while, a dispute suddenly broke out at a small stall in front of them, and there was a lot of noise, and there was even the sound of tables, chairs and benches colliding and overturning.A man shouted angrily, talking loudly with his tongue, as if he had drunk too much wine.

Hua Zhuo moved over curiously, and found that it was three civilian men making trouble at the stall, all of them were strong and strong, with fierce faces, and one of them was holding a big knife in his hand, and the half-cut corpse was dumped on the ground. tables and chairs.

The other customers at the wine stall were scared away when they saw the battle. The stall owner was a young commoner, and he was also frightened by those people, and he dared not go forward tremblingly.

"What broken wine! How dare you sell so much rice dregs?" The man with the knife turned red from drinking, and yelled at the stall owner fiercely, "Return the money quickly!"

Even though the other party is messing around and making mistakes first, the stall owner dare not argue with this kind of person, especially if he is drinking too much and holding a murder weapon, it is easy to cause death.I had no choice but to swallow my anger and took out the money, intending to make it a trivial matter.

"Not all the dirty wine sold at the stalls are like that. It's really shameless to ask people to refund the money after drinking other people's wine." Hua Zhuo muttered in a low voice.

Ji Xiao stared at those people, his brows gradually wrinkled.

The shadow guard also followed and asked, "Young Master, do you want us to go up and help?"

Ji Xiao shook his head, signaling the shadow guard not to move.The three people who made trouble didn't stay long after taking the money, and had already left cursing. Ji Xiao's eyes were locked on their backs, and he said to the shadow guard: "You guys take care of things here, remember to take good care of him."

After speaking, he handed the flower wine to the shadow guard, followed in the direction where the three left, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

After receiving the order, the shadow guard went up to tidy up the damaged tables, chairs and wine jars for the stall owner, gave another ten taels of silver as comfort, and hurried away with Huazhu before the officers and soldiers came over.

"Who were those people just now?" Hua Zhuo asked.

The shadow guard shook his head and said: "I don't know, but those people look like ordinary people in their clothes, but they hold knives used by martial arts practitioners in their hands, and their body shape and appearance are not like ordinary people, which is somewhat suspicious."

Hua Zhuo let out an "oh" and said worriedly, "Then why don't you go and have a look?"

Those people looked fierce, what if Ji Xiao couldn't beat them.

The shadow guard said: "Young Madam, don't worry, the Master Shao can go alone for this kind of thing. If there are too many people, it will be cumbersome."

Hua Zhuo was muffled and didn't speak.

"Young madam, do you want to continue visiting the temple fair?" the shadow guard asked.

Hua Zhuo lost interest, shook her head and said: "No need, let's go back."

The shadow guard responded and led him back.

After returning to the inn, Hua Zhu sat in the room worriedly and waited.Er Fu also heard about the incident, came in with hot tea, and comforted him, "Young master is very skilled in martial arts, so he should be fine. It's already so late, young master, let's go to bed earlier."

Hua Zhuo held the hot tea and covered her hands, and said: "Understood, you go to sleep first, I will sleep after waiting."

Er Fu didn't say much, just nodded and went out.

It was a bit cold at night, there was no heater in the inn, Hua Zhuo got up and put on a coat again, holding a hot teacup in both hands, sat back at the table, set out a book and flipped through it.

It wasn't until Chou Shi that there was finally movement outside the door.

The candles in the room were still on, Hua Zhuo was not asleep, and most of the books on the table had been read.When Ji Xiao came in, he was stunned for a moment, closed the door with his backhand, frowned and said, "What time is it, why don't you rest?"

Hua Zhuo yawned, closed the book and stood up, with sleepy eyes, asked: "How is it?"

Ji Xiao said: "Those people have serious problems, I'm afraid they're in trouble, and they have to hurry back to the villa in the next few days."

Hua Zhuo looked at him, and asked again: "Then are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Ji Xiao said, "I'm just following them secretly, and I won't confront them head-on."

Hua Zhuo nodded reassuringly, and then sneezed.

Ji Xiao frowned, touched his hand, it was cold to the touch.

"What's the matter with you?" Ji Xiao suddenly got angry, pulled him to the bed, stuffed him into the quilt, and said, "I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I froze myself like this. It's freezing outside, no Do you know to go back to bed and stay?"

Hua Zhuo was indeed very cold, she wrapped the quilt tightly, covered herself tightly, looked at him with a pair of eyes, and said, "Aren't I worried that you will get hurt outside?"

Ji Xiao took off his coat, turned around and extinguished the candles on the table, the room was instantly darkened, only a little moonlight shone in front of the window, looking dark and lonely, he said mercilessly: "Worry Others should take care of themselves first, as for your body, if you are really sick, don't you have to be taken care of?"

"Oh." Hua Zhuo muffled in response.

Ji Xiao glanced at him, got on the bed expressionlessly, lay down beside him, and said, "Stretch out your hand."

When Hua Zhuo touched the pillow, he was vaguely sleepy, not knowing what he was going to do, he stretched out a hand from under the quilt.

The cold hand was held in the palm, and the continuous flow of heat was transmitted along the palm, which immediately made people feel much more comfortable.

Hua Zhuo opened her eyes, feeling a little less sleepy for no reason.

"You don't have to wait for me if you encounter this kind of situation in the future. I haven't done the night spy thing a thousand times, but I have done it a hundred times. Even if I run into trouble, I can find a way to get out of it. You can do what you should do in the future. Just be at ease." Ji Xiao's voice was deep and slow, which sounded low and sweet in the dark.

"Hmm..." Hua Zhuo responded in a low voice, closed her eyes, seemed to be really relieved, shrank back into the quilt again, the temperature of her right hand had been covered to ease a lot, and whispered, "There is no pain on my body." cold."

Ji Xiao paused, and the room fell silent.

Just when Hua Zhuo was about to fall asleep in a daze, the quilt on her body was suddenly lifted.

Ji Xiao sighed as if he thought it was troublesome, and moved from his quilt to his side, still holding his right hand with one hand, while the other rested on his back reservedly, feeling the warm warmth It also poured in, seeping into the cold body.

Feeling the temperature, Huazhuo's originally curled up body stretched a little comfortably, moved subconsciously, and rolled into his arms.

The two of them were already under the same quilt, and the slightly sweet aroma in the air was clearer than what they had smelled in the past, and it seemed to directly hit the brain along with their breathing, lingering for a long time, making people feel completely drowsy.

Ji Xiao's body froze and he didn't move.

The next day, because of the need to speed up the time for the return journey, the carriage still set off at Chen Shi.

Hua Zhuo held a hand stove in his hand, and yawned from sleepiness. Ji Xiao rubbed the center of his brows, and his eyes were a little tired. He usually had excellent physical strength, but his face looked like he hadn't slept all night.

"Those people from yesterday..." Hua Zhuo suddenly mentioned, remembering.

Ji Xiao didn't hide anything, and said, "Those are all members of the Demon Cult."

"Demon Cult?" Hua Zhuo had no concept of this word.

Ji Xiao nodded, and said lightly: "The people of the Demon Cult do many evils. More than ten years ago, the four major sects jointly suppressed the Demon Cult and expelled them to a wide area. Until now, there has been no disturbance in the Jianghu for many years. Recently, he suddenly appeared in the Central Plains again, probably because he has some evil thoughts about plundering again."

Kuanzhou is a remote place in the Daxuan Kingdom. The land has always been barren, mostly poor mountains and bad waters, road transportation is not developed, and natural disasters continue every year. It is a place that needs funding from the imperial court all year round.

Ji Xiao continued: "At the temple fair yesterday, I noticed that one of them seemed to have a Demon Cult tattoo on the back of his neck. I followed them for several hours and finally confirmed their identities. location in town."

"Tattoo?" Hua Zhuo thought for a while and asked, "Then how did you confirm it?"

Peek in the shower?

Ji Xiao said calmly: "After they left the temple fair yesterday, they went to a Goulan courtyard."

Goulan courtyard? !
