When Baizhi and Xiaoshuang saw him swaggering out of the house, the two girls widened their eyes in shock and ran in to ask Xiao Ruge what was going on.

Xiao Ruge sighed, waved his hand to let the two maids go down, and asked Bai Zhi to find a way to call Bai Song and the others back, and told him not to make things difficult for the secret guards brought by Mu Gu.

Bai Song had reported to her before that Mu Gu once tried to climb through the window at night, but was stopped by him and his men.

Later, he learned his lesson and brought more people with him when he came again. He asked them to trip up Bai Song and others, while he came to find Xiao Ruge in a swagger.

When Bai Song, Mo Yi and others came back, Mu Gu had already knocked off the mud covering the beggar's chicken and was washing his hands by the well.

Seeing the two men jumping into the yard with stern faces, Mu Gu smiled.

"Mo Yi, bring your brothers to invite Guard Bai to have a drink. Let Mo Qi and his men guard here tonight."

Mo Yi responded and turned to look at Bai Song.

Bai Song bowed to Mu Gu and said, "It is our duty to protect the young lady. It is not appropriate for us to leave our post to drink. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Seventh Prince."

Mu Gu raised his eyebrows, then brought the beggar's chicken into the house to complain to Xiao Ruge.

"Bai Song is too inflexible. I asked Mo Yi to invite him out for a drink but he refused. How is he going to find a wife in the future?"

Xiao Ruge glared at him, not understanding what not drinking had to do with not being able to find a wife.

Thinking that there was nothing to do recently, I let Bai Song and Mo Yi go for a drink.

As Bai Song and Mo Yi left, a man in black jumped down from the roof.

Xiao Shuang was just about to go out to make tea for Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu. The two almost bumped into each other. Xiao Shuang was so scared that she screamed, slipped and fell down the stairs.

Mo Qi quickly reached out to grab her, pulled her into his arms, and curled his lips at Xiao Shuang.

"Are you okay, girl? I'm so sorry I didn't see you just now."

Mo Qi looks younger than Mo Yi. He is handsome and has a small canine tooth when he smiles, which is very attractive.

Xiaoshuang's face turned red all of a sudden, and she stammered, not knowing how to answer. In the end, Baizhi rescued her.

After steadying Xiao Shuang, Bai Zhi stared at Mo Qi warily, drew out a short blade, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? How dare you break into a private house!"

Mo Qi saw that he had misunderstood, and quickly raised his hand to explain, "Sister, please don't misunderstand me. I am the secret guard of His Highness the Seventh Prince. My name is Mo Qi."

At this time, Mu Gu also heard the noise outside, walked out and glared at Mo Qi.

"You've just gotten into trouble!"

"I admit my crime, please punish me, Master!"

Mo Qi admitted his mistake with a good attitude. In the end, Mu Gu just told him to keep a good watch and went back to accompany Xiao Ruge.

"Watch your people and don't mess with the girl next to me!"

Although Xiaoshuang was a maid who was taken in later, after a few months of getting along with her, Xiao Ruge found that this girl was very loyal to him.

So a few days ago, he found an excuse and took her indenture contract back from Old Lady Xiao.

Moreover, the poison that was given to her was also cured, which moved Xiaoshuang so much that she knelt on the ground to express her loyalty and said that she would serve her well for the rest of her life.

The little girl is not very smart, but Xiao Ruge is very satisfied with her loyalty.

"Mo Qi just has a lively personality, there is no other meaning, I will warn them!"

Mu Gu smiled and pulled off a chicken wing and handed it to Xiao Ruge, but Xiao Ruge ignored him and continued reading.

Seeing that she didn't eat it, Mu Gu put it into his own mouth instead. He glanced at the book in Xiao Ruge's hand and smiled, "Other girls love embroidery, but you are different!"

Xiao Ruge's mood for reading was instantly gone after hearing this. She closed the book and glared at Mu Gu, "I don't embroider because I can't."

What she said was true. She had been learning medicine from her master since she was young, and all she studied was pharmacology. Even after returning home, she was forced by her grandfather to read military books.

At first, her mother wanted to teach her needlework, but later she found that her schedule was fully scheduled, and she wanted to let her play more and relax when she had free time, so the matter was eventually dropped.

Mu Gu didn't expect this to be the case. He just thought that Xiao Ruge didn't like embroidery.

"I see. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, the embroiderer is here, and you don't have to make the clothes yourself. It doesn't matter whether you can do needlework or not."

He signaled with his eyes the beggar's chicken on the table, asking Xiao Ruge to eat with him.

The overbearing aroma of the beggar's chicken kept drilling into Xiao Ruge's nose, and finally she had no choice but to grab a chicken leg and slowly gnaw on it.

Mu Gu felt better after seeing this. He stared at Xiao Ruge while eating, as if he thought Xiao Ruge was more delicious than the chicken in his hand.

"Why didn't you fight for the food this time?"

Xiao Ruge asked casually.

Mu Gu smiled, threw the chicken bones in his hand onto the tray, and said, "My injuries haven't fully healed yet, so let Third Brother go this time! Didn't you say there's no danger?"

These words made Xiao Ruge silent.

It's been almost two months since the last time he got injured, and this guy actually told me that his injury hasn't healed yet? Even if he's making up an excuse, can he find a more decent one?

Although I don’t know why Mu Gu postponed this matter, since it is different from the previous life, I have to take more precautions just in case.

"Ask the Third Prince to bring more men. Although the situation in the North is critical, I am not worried as long as General Yao is here. I am only worried about the dangers we may encounter on the road."

Mu Gu nodded seriously, "I have discussed with my third brother that in addition to the team we are leading in public, we will secretly gather a group of good players to follow us."

Although she had made careful arrangements, Xiao Ruge was still worried.

She asked Mu Gu to take a jade pendant to Changwei Escort Agency to find Sun Yan and ask him to arrange two death squads to follow Mu Huan and go to the northern border together.

She didn't know that it was her arrangement today that saved Mu Huan's life not long after and made Mu Huan trust her more.

The team escorting the grain and fodder set out five days later. By then, everything had been arranged, and the carriages loaded with grain and fodder headed north in a mighty procession.

Xiao Ruge stood on the city wall with Ao Rong, watching the team going away and sighing in his heart.

"Don't worry, Third Brother will definitely come back safely!"

Ao Rong smiled and nodded, putting away the worry on her face, turned around and held Xiao Ruge's hand tightly.

"The farm has sent a lot of fruit and game these past two days. Sister, come back with me soon and take some back to eat!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Ruge smiled and nodded, then she and Ao Rong walked down the city wall hand in hand, got on the carriage and headed towards the Third Prince's Mansion.

Ao Rong knew that Xiao Ruge had arranged people to protect Mu Huan. Regardless of whether they could be used or not, it was at least a token of her appreciation, so she was very grateful to Xiao Ruge.

After returning to the prince's mansion, he ordered people to bring two large carts of things to Xiao Ruge.

In addition to the fruits and game she mentioned, there were also many vegetables, poultry and fat fish. On the way back to the Xiao Mansion, the sounds of chickens, ducks and geese were very lively.
