"very worried?"

Gu Xi walked to Wei Rou's side and saw her frowning, with sadness between her brows, not understanding why she was so nervous.

Wei Rou took a look at him, naturally it was hard to say that she was worried that Zhao Yong would be unfavorable to Shopkeeper Qiao.

If Gu Xi knew, she would doubt how she knew that the case would be handled by Zhao Yong.

So she said vaguely, "The shopkeeper Qiao can't get away, and I don't know who will take care of the bookstore. I don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi gave Wei Rou a deep look.

Wei Rou's back felt chills from his gaze, and she looked away guiltily.

"What... what's wrong?"

Gu Xi smiled faintly.

"Nothing. I just feel that I need to earn more property in the future, so that Rou'er can rest easy."

Wei Rou: ...

Now it's all right, she has another label in Gu Xi's heart.

That is "money fan".

That's it.

It's better to be a money fan than to be a money fan, than if Gu Xi suspects that she is possessed by ghosts and gods.

The return journey was half a day faster than the arrival time.

After getting off the boat, Li Huo, Gu Xi's mount, was already waiting at the pier.

When Lie Huo saw Wei Rou, he couldn't help but run forward, and was dragged by someone talking about it.

Seeing this, Wei Rou's brows relaxed a lot, and she stepped forward and patted its head.

"Agni, long time no see, miss me?"

Agni grunted happily.

Gu Xi took the reins, and cast a cold glance at Lie Huo. He obviously didn't say anything, but Lie Huo seemed to understand what he meant, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Wei Rou.

Wei Rou was a little puzzled.

Gu Xi had already carried her on the horse, reined in the reins and galloped towards the capital.

The closer you get to the capital, the colder the wind blows.

Different from the warmth of Jiangnan, it is a bit more biting.

Gu Xi tore off his cloak and put it on Wei Rou, turned her to face him, and hugged her in his arms to avoid being attacked by the cold wind.

Wei Rou wrapped her hands around his waist, and leaned her cheek against his chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, her own heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

It was pitch black in front of her eyes, she couldn't see anything, and she didn't know what was going on outside, so she wanted to ask a question from time to time.

"Where have you been?"

Gu Xi would answer her patiently.

After that, Wei Rou felt that she was long-winded, so she didn't ask any more questions.

But Gu Xi saw that she was silent, worried that she would be bored, so he took the initiative to talk to her.

The way he was trying to find a topic by force made Wei Rou want to laugh, but she held back, and talked to him softly with sweetness in her heart.

As he spoke, sleepiness surged up.

When Gu Xi spoke, Wei Rou responded in a hurry.

It wasn't until later that Gu Xi realized that she hadn't moved.

She slowed down and lifted the cloak to see that she was sleeping soundly.

Gu Xi smiled helplessly, and hugged her even tighter, lest the bumpy road would throw her off the horse.

By the time they arrived in the capital, the sun was already setting.

The city gate is heavily guarded, and the guards carefully check the people who enter and leave.

Hearing the harsh sound, Wei Rou woke up with a start.

"Have you arrived in the capital yet?"

Why is it so noisy?

She was about to lift the cloak to check the situation outside.

Gu Xi held her down.

Wei Rou was taken aback.

Then she heard guards approaching.

"Who is coming?"

Wei Rou unconsciously frowned upon hearing this.

There is someone who doesn't even recognize Gu Xi?

Ling Yun, who was following Gu Xi, scolded loudly: "General Gu is here, let him go quickly!"

The man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Xi with a little more fear, but he still poked his neck and said, "I'm going to patrol here under the order of Mr. Zhao, and everyone will be subject to review. Even the generals have to Obey!"
