Zuo Duwei hesitated for a moment, and then responded, but he didn't leave, seeing Xiye turned back to teach Xiangnu how to write, and waved the imperial doctors to leave, while he helped grind the ink on the side.

"Kings!"

The door in the distance was pushed open with a creak, and the strong sunlight came in from outside. Zuo Duwei heard the sound and looked from the door. An iron guard rushed in panting and sweating profusely, ran to the door of the hut and knelt down on one knee , holding up a secret letter with both hands over his head: "My lord, there is an urgent report from the palace!"

Xi Ye frowned when she heard the sound, paused holding Xiang Nu's big hand, and continued to lower her eyes to finish writing the word "Xiaoxiong" on the paper, but Xiang Nu turned her head and stared at the iron guard curiously.

It wasn't until he finished the last stroke while holding Shanu's hand that he took off the writing brush in her hand, picked up the white paper and examined it carefully.

Seeing the guard's expression, Zuo Duwei knew that there must be something urgent, but he didn't dare to urge Xi Ye.

He followed Xi Ye's line of sight to look at the words. Although there was a pause in the middle of his writing, it still seemed to be done in one go, with both rigidity and softness. At that time, there was a sudden turn of events, and the power of the explosion rushed to the sky. Although it was only a single word, it seemed to have a thrilling feeling.

"Xiaoxiong, Xiongxiong..."

Zuo Duwei was secretly convinced, and silently recited these two words in his heart, looking at the leisurely Xi Ye in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a surge of pride and passion in his chest.

His Majesty lived in the midst of conspiracy and blood since he was a child. How many times his life was at stake. He relied on his own ability to get to this point. Going to the battlefield, everything they had was bought with iron and blood. After going through hardships to this point, no one can deny the king's strategic ability. How can such an overlord of the world need him to worry about it? , Pressing the impatience in my heart and stepping aside.

Shan Nu looked at the anxious guard, blinked her clear eyes, turned around and glanced at Xi Ye, quickly snatched the writing from his hand, and hid it behind her, she stared at Xi Ye nervously, the corner of her eyes flickered from time to time. Float over to see the guard.

Xi Ye couldn't help laughing, knowing that she wanted to help the guard, she didn't care about it, and lovingly leaned beside her ear and smiled softly: "My boy, go play in the yard by yourself."

Xiang Nu hastily threw away the paper in his hand and shook his head, grabbing his sleeve and refusing to let go: "Ye, I will be good, I will not leave..."

"Xianu is obedient, I will open the door, you can see me when you stand in the yard, I will go play with you soon, okay?" Xi Ye continued to coax her, but not only did Shanu not listen, but pulled his robe It tightened even more, and there were faint traces of water overflowing from the dark eyes.

"No, don't go, Nuer, I want to be with Ye..."

Xi Ye sighed, these days, Xiang Nu has been staring at him every step of the way, even coaxing her to go to the latrine for a long time, he has never been so tired and "miserable" in his life, this girl seems to be sure of him , as long as she puts on this timid and nervous expression, he can only surrender.

However, this kind of getting along made him feel an unprecedented warmth, knowing that it was illusory, but regardless of it, he just wanted to greedily enjoy this most peaceful period of time.

Only then did Zuo Duwei notice that the king called himself "I", he was a little surprised, and quickly raised his head to look at him. He couldn't connect this gentle man in front of him with the cruel and cold Xi Ye. Since that day, as long as he and Xiang Nu Together, the king is like a different person, making him not used to it everywhere.

Seeing that the master couldn't deal with that girl no matter what, Zuo Duwei boldly leaned over and said to Xiang Nu: "Young girl, if you are disobedient, the king will throw you away and never want you again."

As soon as the words fell, he felt an obvious murderous aura coming from the top of his head. His scalp was numb, and he knew where the murderous aura came from without raising his head, so he shrank his head and retreated.

Xiangnu saw Zuo Duwei every day these days, so naturally he was not afraid of him. Hearing his words, he looked at Xi Ye in horror, hesitated for a long time, and then moved towards the door aggrieved, turning his head while walking, as if he was afraid that Xi Ye would think she was disobedient Leaving her behind, she turned her head back without reassurance when she went out, and said aggrievedly: "Nu'er, Nuer will be very good..."

Seeing her reaction, Xi Ye's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect the current Xiang Nu to rely on him so much, his heart was tangled and complicated, mixed with feelings that he couldn't tell whether it was sweet or bitter.

Against the sun.

He stared blankly at the girl in white standing at the door looking back frequently.

The soft blue silk hung down to her waist, and was simply tied with white cloth strips. The snow-white clothes exuded a faint light in the sunlight at the door, and her clear eyes were as pure and simple as a child's. Seeing her begging and uneasy eyes, I felt a twinge of tension in my heart. Pain, I couldn't help but lift my foot and wanted to pull her back.

Seeing this, Zuo Duwei quickly stepped forward and reminded: "Your Majesty, let's deal with business first."

Xi Ye clenched her fists and stopped, watching Xiang Nu obediently being taken by the guards to the big tree outside the house, where he could just be seen, Shan Nu hugged her knees and curled up there, staring at her figure without blinking, There was an inexplicable satisfaction in his heart, he took a deep breath and looked away.

It's just that the moment he turned his head, the temperature in the hut instantly dropped by a few degrees, and the tenderness just disappeared, replaced by a cold face, Zuo Duwei trembled, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look into his eyes again .

"Tell me, what's the situation?"

Xi Ye reached out to take the letter and read it with lowered eyes, her voice was cold and stern without any emotion.

Zuo Duwei restrained his mind and replied carefully: "Go back to the king, the calmness in the womb was a little abnormal a few days ago, the king ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on Zheng Taihe, and they found out the clues. The iron guards saw the queen mother and ordered people to I went to the uncle's mansion in private, and followed the past to find out that the queen mother secretly ordered people to go to the border pass to pass on the imperial decree while the king was away, and successively received the Qitan in the east, Huanggu in the west, and the Chiyao military orders in the north, and tried to block all news , and has secretly dispatched troops to the capital of Yinlou, fortunately, it was discovered early this time, otherwise something serious would happen."

"What!" Xi Ye's face became colder the more he listened, his bottomless pupils were flickering with scarlet, his eyes bursting with light, they were as sharp and cold as a beast.

Zuo Duwei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his appearance, and felt friendly for no reason. It seems that the king is still the same king as before.

"It seems that the queen mother is going to put all her eggs in one basket this time, and the king must deal with it as soon as possible. It is said that the queen mother used the king's token to pass on the secret decree about the border. The king may have to personally come forward this time to solve it." Zuo Duwei said here Paused, and frowned deeply: "It's just the king's body..."

The letter was squeezed into a ball, and Xi Ye exuded a cold and stern aura. He lowered his eyes and said nothing, and turned to look outside the door. The girl curled up under the tree was staring at him with black eyes, a little frightened and nervous.

A trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Shan Nu with a worried expression.

In the end, he sighed deeply, turned his head and said coldly: "My king has recovered a lot, ordered the Iron Guards to continue to monitor the movement in the palace, and you immediately call the Beicheng guards, and this king will go to the border in person."

"Then, Miss Xiangnu...do you want to send her back to the palace first?"

Xi Ye walked to the table and sat down, raised her eyes and stared at him: "Zuo Duwei, are you getting smarter?"

The cold voice made Zuo Duwei shudder, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Xi Ye's eyes: "This subordinate is stupid."

"Huh!" Xi Ye snorted softly, his eyes flickering, and he looked thoughtfully through the darkness of Zuo Duwei. He narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table: "The palace is too chaotic now, not to mention Those women in the harem will not save trouble, but sending her back is throwing a stone into the overly quiet palace, and all the arrows are not pointing at her? Now it seems that it is still safe here, you stay here to protect her , with the iron guards here, the old woman’s people can’t find it yet.”

Zuo Duwei felt ashamed secretly, it seemed that the king was more thoughtful.

He thought for a while, and then said worriedly: "My lord, I understand, but Miss Xiangnu is so dependent on you. If the king leaves suddenly, Miss Xiangnu may not be easy to appease. She was too frightened before, but now she can't find you." The king's words..."

Xi Ye frowned, knowing what Zuo Duwei wanted to say.

How could he not know the extent of Shanu's dependence on him these days, and this is exactly what he was worried about, but the environment in the north is harsh, and there may be any danger around him, so it would definitely not work to bring her along. Shan Nu was not harmed in the slightest, and he had no choice but to leave her here alone.

Sighing deeply, he stood up, looked at Zuo Duwei and said, "The current situation can no longer be taken care of so much. Xiang Nu is now a child at heart, and it will be fine after two days. This king will leave quietly tomorrow night , you lead a team of iron guards to stay here, and you must protect her well, if there is any mistake, I think you know what to do!"

"Your Majesty!" Zuo Duwei was shocked, and quickly raised his head: "The situation in the north is unknown, and the road is dangerous. Let the subordinates go with the King! Miss Xiangnu, the subordinates will send the highest-quality personnel in the Iron Guard to protect them. You must follow the king..."

Xi Ye's sharp eyes were covered with a layer of frost, Zuo Duwei's whole body trembled, and he swallowed all the words he hadn't finished speaking.

He naturally knew that Xi Ye trusted him to keep him here, but what he was more worried about was Xi Ye's safety. Xi Ye's meaning was already very clear. It seemed that at this moment he valued that woman more than his own life. It's important, he sighed in his heart, knowing that it's useless to say more, the king can't do without that woman anymore.

That being the case, all he can do is to let the king have no worries.

Thinking of this, his eyes were full of persistent and firm belief, he took a step back, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists to accept the order, with a sonorous voice: "What the king said is that my subordinates will protect Miss Xiangnu, and I will not disgrace my life!"

On the second night, Xiye hurried to Chiyao while Xiangnu was asleep.

There is a huge difference in temperature between the north and the south of Yin Lou Kingdom. The capital is located in the south. Even though autumn has entered, the temperature is still high, but the north is already as cold as winter. Before leaving, Zuo Duwei prepared a white fox snow coat for him, saying Chiyao's side was so icy and snowy that even the main road was cracked.
