Since sending the token of love to the Night King that day, Xiji found that the Night King treated him better, even though it had changed a little bit before.

But now the good ones are becoming more and more blatant. Anyone with eyes in the mansion can see the difference in how the Night King treats him.

At first, Xiji was still a little uncomfortable, but later Xiji found out that the difference between how people treated her and the past was that she did things more appropriately and did everything for herself, and then she gradually got used to it.

"My lord, the weather is turning cold again." Wan Lian looked at the scenery outside the window, then at Xiji sitting in front of the window, and carefully covered him with a cloak, "My lord, be careful not to catch a cold."

Feeling the temperature on her body, Xiji looked up at Wan Lian's face, showed a slight smile, and said softly, "Thank you, I know."

After Wanlian went down to deal with other trivial things in the yard, Xiji turned his gaze to the withered leaves outside the window, and when he saw a row of geese flying across the sky, he couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. "Before I knew it, a year had passed.

Xiji sat in front of the window like that, quietly looking at the orange sky outside, his face was full of emotion.

……

"My lord, as we expected, a large-scale drought has broken out in other territories." Mr. Guo frowned involuntarily when he said this, then looked at the Night King, and said with a serious expression:

"Because of this incident, some refugees have already started to move towards us. Recently, the patrols in various places have found traces of these refugees one after another. If it takes a few more days, these refugees will probably gather in groups Appeared."

The Night King casually turned the silver ring on his hand. After listening to his report, he raised his head to look at him, and said calmly, "All refugees are not allowed to enter the city, but to enter the king's territory."

Hearing Ye Wang's order, Mr. Guo was stunned for a moment, and then retreated in response.

After Mr. Guo left, Ye Wang looked at the ring on his finger expressionlessly, smiled softly, and sighed: "This era is really interesting."

……

Xiji sat on the window sill and watched the scenery for a long time, until he was about to cook, he got up and tidied up, ready to go to the kitchen to cook.

In the mansion, he doesn't have to do anything, he can open his mouth for food or stretch out his clothes for food, but for cooking, he still wants to do it by himself.First of all, this is his job. No matter what he does, he can't lose his job.Secondly, if he cooks by himself, both he and the Night King will be happier, after all, his skills are no worse than those cooks.You can make delicious meals that both of you like to eat.

As usual, Xiji put on some light clothes and was about to go to the kitchen.As soon as she went out, she saw Wan Lian standing at the door, and she came out and said softly, "Master, the password came from your lord just now."

Xiji blinked strangely, and said, "What did your lord say?"

Wan Lian immediately repeated what the attendant said just now, "Your Excellency said, if the young master has nothing to do recently, it's better not to go out, so as not to hurt the young master."

Xiji was a little strange after hearing this. He remembered that when the Night King said this to him last time, there were criminals outside, but he didn't know what happened this time.

Thinking of this, Xiji simply asked, "Did something happen outside?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Lian shook her head with a puzzled expression, "I don't know, the guard came here in a hurry. After saying this, he ran away in a hurry."

Seeing her like this, Xiji didn't ask any more questions. After all, it seemed that the matter was very urgent.Slightly frowned, thinking about asking the Night King when he came back.

It's just that Xiji didn't expect that not only would he be more cautious when going out in the future, but he didn't even wait for the Night King to come back at dinner time that day.

"My lord, it's already late at night, why don't you go to bed early!" Wan Lian cautiously suggested as she looked at Xiji who was sitting at the table, frowning and wondering what she was thinking.

Hearing this, Xiji shook his head, his face became a little dignified, and he seemed to be very puzzled and muttered to himself: "What is it that made you go out in such a hurry, and didn't even send a message back."

Xiji didn't go to sleep, and Wanlian had no choice but to sit aside, preparing to wait for the Night King to come back with Xiji.

Just when the two of them fell asleep with the dim candlelight, a servant from outside rushed in.Hearing the movement, Xiji immediately woke up, thinking that the Night King had returned, and hurried out to greet him.

When he opened the door, he found that the person who came was not the Night King, but a powerful attendant by his side.

When the visitor saw that he was fully dressed, he knew that he hadn't fallen asleep yet, so he saluted respectfully, and quickly said, "My lord, my lord told me to come and tell you that he might not come back tonight, so let me not use it." Wait for him and rest early."

Xiji was taken aback when he heard the words, and then thanked the man.

The guard hurriedly said he didn't dare, then saluted, and ran away in a hurry.

Seeing the figure of the man disappearing into the vast night, Xiji thought in a daze, if he read correctly just now, the corner of the guard's clothes just now was stained with something that seemed to be blood.

"My lord, it's late at night, go to bed earlier."

Hearing Wanlian's soft reminder from his ear, Xiji raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the moon was a little red.

After a long while, he seemed to have finished reading, turned his eyes back to Wanlian, and said softly: "Prepare hot water, I want to wash and rest early."

"Okay, I'll get ready now, servant girl." Wan Lian replied, her voice was much happier than before.

Looking at the back of Wanlian leaving, Xiji turned his eyes to the moon in the sky again, and muttered to himself: "No matter what, I hope no one will die."

……

"My lord, this subordinate has conveyed your order to Mr. Xi." The guard returned to the tower just now, looked at the Night King who was staring down with no emotion in his eyes, and respectfully told what happened just now come out.

"Is he asleep?"

Hearing this, the guard immediately repeated the scene he had just seen to the Night King, "My lord, when I came down, the young master hadn't rested yet, and it seemed that he was waiting for the old man to go back. After I told the lord's order, the young master It looks a little lost, but not entangled."

Listening to his subordinate's report, Night King looked at the group of people below with no expression on his face. Some people begged, some cried bitterly, some scolded hoarsely, and some rushed forward desperately.It seems that as long as they can enter this city gate, they will have a chance of survival.

Silently lowering his eyes, looking at the subordinates beside him, he ordered lightly: "Send more people to protect the palace."

"Yes." The man took the order, saluted the Night King, and left quickly.

After the guard left, Ye Wang took his gaze away from the crazy crowd and looked in the direction of Ye Wang's mansion.

After a while, it seemed that he thought that he would not be able to see the person he wanted to see, so he looked away again, and told the white shirt who was following him: "Stop them, don't let them enter the city. Send some more people to go to the city." Check below to see who is instigating."

"Yes."

After the Night King finished his orders, he didn't look at the people below again, but looked up at the stars in the sky.Under the wall is the ear-piercing noise, and the people dressed in black stand silently on the wall.

……

When Xiji woke up the next day, he found that there was no trace of another person on the entire bed except his own trace.He looked at the position where the Night King fell asleep habitually, and lowered his eyes. He didn't think that what the Night King said couldn't come back was actually true.

Normally, the Night King was around, and Xiji didn't feel anything, but this time he left suddenly, Xiji felt a little deserted.

After he finished his breakfast, Wan Lian, who was sent by him to inquire about the situation, also came back.Sensing the movement of Wanlian's return, Xiji looked up and saw that Wanlian's face was much paler than when she went out just now, as if she had encountered something terrible.

Xiji frowned, looked at her and asked softly, "What's the matter, did something happen?"

Wanlian raised her head, looked at Xiji who was staring at her worriedly, and remembered what she was doing when she went out this time.Trying to calm himself down, then raised his head to look at Xiji, and said in a steady voice:

"My lord, I went out this time and found out that the reason why my lord went out for a day this time was because I didn't know there was a large group of refugees who wanted to enter the city. My lord ordered them not to come in. Those refugees wanted to rush in , was blocked by adults sent by adults. Later, a few people who were not afraid of death and had high force appeared among the refugees, and injured many soldiers guarding the city. Only then did adults be alarmed and let adults go to sit in the town in person."

After listening to her story, Xiji was very surprised. He didn't even understand why there were refugees here.In his impression, Night City has always been prosperous, and there aren't even many beggars, so why are there a large number of refugees, let alone such refugees who hurt many people.

Wan Lian, who was extremely shocked after hearing the news, looked at Xi Ji who was astonished, as if shocked by the news, suddenly startled, and hesitated if she said too much, so that she scared the young master .

Just when she opened her mouth to ease the current atmosphere, Xiji raised her head first, looked at her, and asked with some concern: "Then your lord has not suffered any harm?"

Wan Lian knew that Xiji would ask such a question, so she said the words she had prepared a long time ago, "My lord is sitting in the rear, and those refugees have no chance to hurt my lord."

Xiji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and did not continue to ask further questions.He only needs to know that the Night King is safe and well, as for the rest, others need to worry about it.

Listening to Wan Lian's description, Xiji thought that he would have at least two days before seeing the Night King, but he didn't expect to see the Night King who had returned from the journey that night.

When he learned that the Night King was back, Xiji was overjoyed to greet him, but when he saw the Night King walking towards him, he was scared away by his aura.

Compared with the mature and stable appearance in front of him, the Night King at this time is like an unsealed sword, showing his sharpness. As he slowly approached, there was an indescribable aggressive momentum towards Xi Ji overwhelming pour.

Xiji subconsciously took a step back, and it was this step that the Night King realized. He stopped walking towards Xiji, then quickly restrained his momentum, and walked towards Xiji again When he came over, he seemed to be the original Night King again.

Xiji was keenly aware of the changes in the Night King, and raised his head to look at him with complicated expressions in his eyes.

Soon as the Night King walked in front of him, he put away all his small thoughts, only looked at the person in front of him, and asked softly, "Is your lord alright?"

Ye Wang raised his eyebrows when he heard his question, and asked knowingly: "I didn't do anything, how could something happen?"

Hearing what he said, Xiji opened his mouth, wanting to ask about those refugees, but soon remembered that these matters should not be his own, and finally shut up, not saying much.Just looking at the Night King who came back, he scanned him up and down, and found that there was nothing wrong with him except for some dust on his clothes.

"My lord, you go take a bath first, and I will prepare food for you."

Hearing this, the Night King fixed a glance at Xiji, seeing that the concern in his eyes did not seem to be fake, he was silent for a moment, then nodded, and walked towards the bathroom.

When the Night King came out of the bathroom, Xiji had just prepared the meals.

On the head of willows on the moon, Xiji sat in the room with the Night King, against the warm yellow candlelight, it looked extraordinarily warm.

"Your craftsmanship is getting better and better." Night King picked up a piece of ribs and took a bite, watching Xiji sincerely praised.

Being praised by the Night King, Xiji showed embarrassment on his face, and finally said modestly: "Actually, my craftsmanship has not improved, but the ingredients have become fresher recently, so the things I make have become more delicious. .”

Even though he said that, the smile on Xiji's face did not decrease much. It can be seen that he was very happy to receive this praise.

Ye Wang looked at the shallow smile on Xiji's face, and felt that his heart was lightly swept by something, which made him look extremely numb, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

Just when the atmosphere between the two seemed particularly warm, there was a sudden knock on the door in a hurry.

Hearing the voice, the Night King squinted his eyes, the emotion in his eyes was a little irritable, and he just wanted to ask the visitor to leave.The man stumbled and ran in, knelt down towards the Night King, and said loudly:

"My lord, the number of those refugees has increased again. I don't know who inspired them, and now they are desperately trying to enter the city. Even some refugees have mixed into the city at some point. At this time, Commander Bai is searching the whole city. Those refugees have no means to separate themselves. Therefore, General Qing asked his subordinates to come down to ask your lord what to do next."

Ye Wang squinted his eyes, looked at the kneeling people below, and wondered why he had such useless subordinates.But very soon, before he had an attack, another soldier hurried in.

"My lord, among the refugees outside the city, it seems that some people have been infected with the plague, and now a large number of them have fallen ill, and the situation is almost out of control."

His words shocked everyone present, and the maids all showed panic, like the plague that was still far away, and it would arrive in front of them in the next second.

Hearing this, Night King didn't bother to reprimand his subordinates anymore. He immediately stood up and ordered in a cold voice, "I'll go over now and gather all the doctors in the city and make them stand by at any time."

"Yes." The man answered, and immediately ran outside in a hurry.

After the man left, Ye Wang put down his chopsticks and stood up, looked at Xiji who was staring at him, and said softly: "I will send more people to protect the palace, you can stay at the palace at ease."

After exhorting, the Night King was about to walk outside. When he passed by Xiji, he felt that someone grabbed his sleeve suddenly.Sensing the movement on the sleeve, the Night King lowered his head and met Xiji's concerned eyes. His heart suddenly softened for a moment, and his tone of voice unconsciously softened, "What's wrong?"

Xiji watched the Night King staring into his eyes, then looked at his hand holding his cuff, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.

The Night King looked at Xiji who was staring at him without speaking for a long time, thinking that he was just reluctant to act like a baby, so he stretched out his hand that had not been held, touched his head, and then leaned over and kissed him on the forehead Take a sip, "Hey, go to bed early and wait for me to come back."

Taking advantage of Siji's stunned effort, the Night King tore his cuff out of Siji's hand, and strode away towards the door.

Xiji looked at his empty hands, and then at the back of the Night King. For some reason, he always felt his heart beating very hard.

When he could no longer see the back of the Night King, looking at the closed doors layer by layer, Xiji turned his gaze to the food that was still warm in front of him, and murmured: "My lord is so powerful, nothing will happen."

I don't know if this sentence is to comfort myself, or to say it to the person who walked away.

……

That night, Xiji slept very restlessly.He has been wandering between half dream and half awake, woke up again by the nightmare, saw that it was still dark outside, and knew that what he saw just now was a dream.

In his dream, there are countless dead people, and the death conditions are very miserable, which looks extraordinarily scary.

Xiji's movement woke up the maid who was on guard outside, only to hear a soft inquiry from outside the door curtain, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

With.

Xi.

group.

Correct.

Seeing this, Xiji broke away from the state just now, and hurriedly said to the outside: "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare, go back to sleep!"

Xu Shi believed what Xiji said, and the little maid said to call her directly if there was anything to do, and then there was no sound.

After coaxing the little maid to sleep, Xiji looked out of the window again, and saw the bright moon hanging high there, which made people feel a little calmer.

Just when Xiji was quietly looking at the moon outside the window, preparing to regain sleep and sleep for a while, another urgent report came from outside the door.

"My lord, your lord is injured!"

The visitor's words made Xiji panic, and immediately sat up from the bed, lifted the covering curtain, and asked anxiously outside: "What did you say?"

Perhaps Xiji's voice was too loud, the people waiting outside trembled in vain, then raised their heads to look at Xiji, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency is injured."

When Xiji tidied up in a hurry and came to the place where the Night King was, he saw the Night King sitting on the main seat, with a doctor beside him carefully bandaging his hands.

The Night King looked at his hands with impatience on his brows. It wasn't until Xiji came in that he seemed to have noticed something. He turned his gaze around. The moment he saw Xiji, his face was full of astonishment. , Then he became angry, looked at the people around, and scolded in a low voice: "Who invited this person?"

Hearing the violent voice of the Night King, those people around the Night King lowered their heads, not daring to look at him at all.

When he heard the news of the Night King's accident, Xi Ji was worried.At this time, seeing the Night King who was not injured in any other place except his hands, he was relieved.With this relief, he understood what the Night King said, but Xiji still decided to pretend that he didn't understand.

He leaned in front of the Night King, looked at his injured hand, and asked with some distress: "My lord, is your hand alright?"

The Night King looked at Siji, his eyes were red due to lack of sleep, and when he looked at him, there was a slight warmth.When he saw him looking at his hand distressedly, he shook his head and said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Xiji didn't quite believe it, and then looked at the doctor sitting aside, wanting to hear his answer.

Facing Xiji's concerned gaze and the Night King's death-threatening gaze, the old doctor stumbled and said, "My lord's hand is just a skin trauma, and it will heal after a period of training. It's not a problem."

Hearing this, Xiji was truly relaxed, watching the Night King open his mouth and wanted to ask him why he was injured.

At this moment, another loud noise erupted outside in vain, followed by crying and howling. The sound seemed to come from a grieving ghost from hell, crying miserably.

Xiji was shocked by the sound, and his face turned pale for a moment.

Seeing this, the Night King stretched out his uninjured hand, held his hand, then looked at the white shirt standing there, and whispered, "Go and drive those people away."

"Yes." The white shirt took the order, turned around and left.

The Night King glanced at the white shirt who left, and then followed his gaze along the arm holding Xiji, looking all the way.Meeting Xiji's worried eyes, he whispered, "I'm fine, you go back first."

Xiji wanted to nod subconsciously, but after a while he looked at the Night King and hesitated, "My lord, what about you?"

The Night King rubbed the back of his hand and said softly, "Of course I want to watch here."

Xiji opened his mouth, wanting the Night King to go back with him, but he also knew that if he said that, he would be too willful.So he gritted his teeth, looked at the Night King, and ordered, "My lord, please protect your body."

"Ah."

Xiji believed in the night king's force. After the night king promised him, he was ready to leave under the protection of his guards.

Just as he went out and was about to get into the carriage and leave, he was suddenly stopped by someone.Xiji immediately got into the carriage like this and looked at the person coming.

"Mr. Guo?"

Mr. Guo looked at Xiji with a serious expression, and then said respectfully: "Young master, can you come and take a look with me to see what happened."

Hearing this, Xiji hesitated for a while, then nodded slowly.
