The night passed peacefully for the time being.

Fortunately, after waking up the next day, Xie Mingzhao's high fever finally subsided.Although his face looked a little pale, at least he was able to move freely.For Nan Yuanyu, this is a great thing.

In this strange place, if he had to rely on him alone, he really wouldn't be able to walk out with Xie Mingzhao intact.

"Can you do it? Do you want to rest for a while?" After walking for half an hour, Xie Mingzhao was obviously out of breath. Nan Yuanyu helped him, and when he heard a slight panting sound in his ears, he hurriedly stopped asked with concern.

Xie Mingzhao shook his head: "It's okay, let's go ahead." He glanced around, "Looking at the situation, we should already be in Xigan's territory, if you see someone later, don't talk, let me come .”

Nan Yuanyu nodded emphatically to show that he understood.

"Have you left any clues for Brother Gao and the others so that they can find them sooner?" Nan Yuanyu thought of this and hurriedly asked.

Xie Mingzhao narrowed his eyes, "There's no way to leave a mark here, it's too obvious and it wouldn't be good for others to notice." He paused, raised his eyebrows at Nan Yuanyu: "Why, you're still afraid that I won't be able to take you back ?”

"...Yes, yes." Nan Yuanyu replied angrily, "Anyway, I'm just a nobody, so it's no big deal if someone finds out. If the Xigan people see the enemy who is fighting with them General Fang is alone in their territory, aren't you afraid that they will hang you on the flagpole and dry it into a piece of bacon?"

"..." Xie Mingzhao paused, and couldn't stop laughing, "Why do I feel that you don't take me seriously now?"

"Didn't you say you want me to be free in front of you?" Nan Yuanyu helped him to sit on a flat place where there was also a thin stream. He still held it in his palm and bowed his head to beg himself drink--

"Wait." Xie Mingzhao stopped him.

Nan Yuanyu turned his head slightly to look at him, and asked him what's wrong with his eyes?

Xie Mingzhao sighed softly, "I'm fine now, let me drink first."

Nan Yuanyu's ears turned red, and he took a sip before he said: "Forget it, you are just right, don't turn around and have something happen again, but it will really make every day ineffective." He applauded again He took some water and went back, "No, drink it."

Xie Mingzhao looked at him.

"you dislike me?"

"It's nothing." Xie Mingzhao smiled, lowered his head, and drank the water directly into the palm of his hand, and the tip of his tongue accidentally touched the palm of his hand.

Nan Yuanyu almost couldn't hold back his hand, it was so itchy.

Xie Mingzhao, on the other hand, said as if nothing had happened: "Are you hungry? It's not like the woods where you can buy wild rabbits and pheasants. Even if there are, it's probably Tian—"

Nan Yuanyu covered his throat and retched, "Don't say that word!"

Xie Mingzhao laughed, "Are you afraid of that?"

"It's not fear!" Nan Yuanyu retorted, "It's nausea."

Xie Mingzhao: ...

"What if we really can't find other food by then?"

Nan Yuanyu imagined the scene, but still couldn't help running to the side and coughing hard, before turning around and saying, "Then we'll talk about it when the time comes!"

"Actually, that stuff is quite fragrant." Xie Mingzhao smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it."

After a while, Nan Yuanyu felt more comfortable, and walked back to Xie Mingzhao to sit down. He slightly raised his head and said, "How do you know, have you eaten before?"

Xie Mingzhao's eyes fell on his small face, and he said after a while, "I ate a lot when I first went to the Southwest Military Camp."

"Isn't the King of Southwest your grandfather? Could it be that you really started as a soldier?" Nan Yuanyu had also heard Zhao Laosan say something about Xie Mingzhao before, and knew that this person was different from the second and third generations of other aristocratic families. His military achievements are also earned bit by bit with real swords and guns.Of course, more things come from his impression of the 'Xie Mingzhao' in the novel.

Nan Yuanyu propped his chin and looked at the endless grassland in the distance, and suddenly said: "I heard that you still have a confidante in the capital."

"...What?" Xie Mingzhao was at a loss.

Nan Yuanyu turned his head, stared at him faintly and said, "That girl named Su Yi is the oiran of the Swallow House in Kyoto, right?"

Xie Mingzhao: ... "Where did you hear this?"

"The daughter of the prefect's mansion, the oiran of the capital, General Xie, you are really romantic, and you are full of confidante. I just don't know if you can take care of those girls who are waiting for you to look back."

Xie Mingzhao raised his forehead: "A child as old as you knows what a confidante is?"

"I don't know." Nan Yuanyu straightened his neck and replied, "I don't."

"You, fortunately there are only two of us here." Xie Mingzhao raised his hand and flicked his forehead, "If other people hear it in the city, the daughter of the county government will come to you to demand her innocence."

"What do you mean?"

"He obviously has someone he likes, okay?" Xie Mingzhao was speechless.

Nan Yuanyu had a look of disbelief, "Don't try to fool me, that maid named Qiaoyi told me plainly that you and her young lady had known each other for a long time, and that you were already a family. I remember Clearly, she said it to me specially."

Xie Mingzhao was a little funny and annoyed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the back, he raised his eyebrows and pretended to be puzzled, "Why did she tell you specifically?"

Nan Yuanyu became angry when he thought of this, "It's not that you asked them to call me a little son, but they actually regarded me as that kind of person in the end! I'm looking for you to ask for my innocence, okay?"

Xie Mingzhao finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and said while laughing, "I really didn't know they thought so haha!"

"I've also convinced these people's brains, and this thinking is too divergent! But the root cause—" Nan Yuanyu stared at him and said: "It must be that someone is not disciplined enough on weekdays, so he let him People think about it in that way, isn’t that what the so-called groundless rumours mean? I really suffered innocent injustice for nothing!”

Xie Mingzhao laughed for a while and stopped, waved his hands and said: "My fault, my fault, I really didn't expect them to think so." He waved his hand, motioned Nan Yuanyu to sit closer, and said, "But you are I really missed it. But it's not your problem, it must be because Yun Ruo didn't tell her maid in detail."

"What are you talking about?" Seeing that there seemed to be something hidden, Nan Yuanyu, whose gossip factor was mobilized in an instant, asked hurriedly.

Xie Mingzhao glanced at him with a half-smile, "Why, are you willing to listen to me now?"

"I'm just giving you a chance to prove your clarity, so forget about it."

"Okay, I'll say yes." Xie Mingzhao said helplessly: "Yunruo and I have known each other for a long time. Her mother's family has some connections with my grandfather's family. When I was in the southwest, I lived in my grandfather's house. She often She went to her mother's relative's house, so she was often taken to my grandfather's house, and I have a good relationship with my cousins. Although there are differences between men and women, because of the cousins, I have occasionally met a Twice, but they just bumped into each other from a distance, although everyone was young at that time, they already knew how to avoid suspicion."

Seeing Nan Yuanyu's expression of "surely there is still a problem", he continued: "Well, I admit that my grandmother liked her very much at the beginning, and she did think about it a little bit. But because my father is Yong'anbo after all, It's not good for her to interfere in my marriage, so at most it's just thinking about it. And Yunruo, she is actually a very free and easy-going woman. Once she encountered robbers on the way back from the southwest to the north of Shanxi, and I happened to be there. Just help. Don’t stare, there are other people beside me, Gao Ge and Gao Qu are also here." Xie Mingzhao paused, and finally said: "The person who saved her was not me, but Gao Ge."

Nan Yuanyu blinked, feeling as if he had grasped a key point. "So, the person she likes is Brother Gao?"

Xie Mingzhao nodded appreciatively: "Now you understand everything."

Perhaps she also knew that some things could not be easily told to others before they became a foregone conclusion, so she didn't tell the maid very clearly, so in the maid's view, the person her lady likes must be Xie Mingzhao.

"Did she fall in love with Brother Gao at first sight?" Nan Yuanyu exclaimed, unexpectedly it was a scene of a hero saving the beauty.

Xie Mingzhao thought for a while, and said: "Maybe, but since then, she always inquired about me from my cousin. At first, my cousin also thought that she had some thoughts about me, but then she made a fool of myself." Long, she just said it straight."

"Does Brother Gao know?"

"he knows."

Nan Yuanyu glanced at Xie Mingzhao, "Then he—?"

Xie Mingzhao restrained his expression slightly, "There are some things that are not yet ready, so he can only pretend that he doesn't know."

Nan Yuanyu let out an 'oh', a little disconcerted.Although he is a modern person who came through books, he knows how rare it is for a daughter of a county mansion to be with a guard in this world.

"Don't think too much, if Gao Ge has the heart, he will strengthen himself to protect the person who is worthy of his protection." Xie Mingzhao silently nodded his head to Nan Yuanyu, "Okay, after resting for so long, let's go on."

"Okay——" Nan Yuanyu was about to get up when Xie Mingzhao pressed his shoulder suddenly, "Why——"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Because at this time he also heard the sound of hooves getting closer.

Almost the moment Xie Mingzhao stood up, a figure on a horse appeared in their sight.

The author has something to say: The stupid author tried to make a cover for himself yesterday, so he searched for PS tutorials bit by bit, and finally found out after a day of tossing - I'd better come back and code the words obediently (neck hurts)
