After the dinner, stepping on the moonlight.

The two sat in a carriage and walked on the Qingshi Long Street back to the inn.

The horseshoes rattled and the wheels rolled.

It was not a spacious green shed carriage, and the two of them sat opposite each other, making it even more crowded.

Even the air carried an inexplicable ambiguity.

"Well, it's over here, and I should go back."

Xia Xiaoqiao rubbed her forehead with a little drunkenness, her eyes rolled slightly and she spoke first.

"Ah."

Someone just looked at her quietly like this, but didn't say a word.

Xia Xiaoqiao raised her eyes slightly, "You, take good care of yourself in the academy. Although studying is important, a good body is the capital of revolution."

"revolution?"

cough cough-

Xia Xiaoqiao coughed directly, and then showed an embarrassed but polite smile, "Well, the most important thing is good health, you just need to understand this."

"it is good."

He agreed readily, followed by a long silence.

Soon the carriage arrived at the inn, and Xia Xiaoqiao's hands tightened tightly, "Well, do you want to go up and sit for a while? Or go back to the academy directly?"

She was just being polite, but she didn't expect someone to agree without hesitation.

"it is good."

Xia Xiaoqiao:?

it is good?
What's good?

It's so late, aren't you afraid to go back to the academy and close the gate?

But before Xia Xiaoqiao could react, Lu Jingyuan got off the carriage first.

Xia Xiaoqiao opened her mouth slightly, and finally followed behind helplessly, but she didn't want to hear Lu Jingyuan talking to the driver as soon as she lifted the curtain.

"Go back directly!"

Xia Xiaoqiao's eyes widened suddenly. What does this person mean?
Let the coachman go back, then he—

Could it be that you want to stay overnight in an inn?
But before she came back to her senses, a figure suddenly rushed out from the dark place at this moment.

Xia Xiaoqiao subconsciously protected Lu Jingyuan behind her.

But the unexpected assassination didn't happen, and the man knelt on the ground with a bang.

"My servant Mu Nanshuang, I have seen the eldest lady."

After calling the person, he directly touched his forehead to the bottom, and knocked his head to the bottom.

"Mu Nanshuang?"

Xia Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then saw her ruined half face by the moonlight, and instantly remembered who she was.

"Is your father buried?"

"Yes."

After speaking, he took out a purse from his sleeve, which was exactly the one Xia Xiaoqiao gave her.

"Ma'am, this is the twenty-five taels of silver left after my father was buried."

Xia Xiaoqiao glanced at her in surprise, "Nowadays there are a lot of disaster victims outside the city, and you, a little lady who doesn't know the place of birth, not only buried her biological father, but also has some money left, and most importantly, she can escape unscathed. Divide up."

"Thank you for your praise, my maidservant used to be a big girl in front of the master's wife. Although there are differences between the market and the mansion, they are much the same. The servant girl has money given by the eldest lady. Find some honest people to make a coincidence That's all."

She was modest, and Xia Xiaoqiao didn't make it difficult, she said directly: "You really think about it? Do you really want to follow me?"

"I beg the eldest lady to take it in."

After speaking, he directly took out his own deed of sale and handed it over.

It's not the first time Xia Xiaoqiao has seen this thing, and it's not as repulsive as before. It's just a piece of paper, no different from a labor contract.

As for life and death?

She is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between good and evil, let alone care too much.

After clarifying her mentality, Xia Xiaoqiao took it very naturally.

After looking at the deed of sale by moonlight, he directly put it into the sleeves, but actually put it into the space.

"It's not impossible to keep you, but it depends on whether you have the ability."

"Thank you, Ma'am, I will definitely not let you down."

After finishing speaking, she kowtowed to her again, and Xia Xiaoqiao hurriedly bowed to help her up, "Okay, get up, don't just kneel, just kowtow, our family doesn't have so many rules."

Mu Nanshuang was moved, "Thank you, Ma'am."

"Okay, you can take the rest of the money and treat it as your reward."

Xia Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have something for you to do."

With so many disaster victims outside the city, someone had to take care of them to eat, drink, and scatter, and Lu Silang helped, but he was a teenager, so naturally he was not as careful as a woman.

With Mu Nanshuang around, it saved me a lot of worry.

After dismissing the people, he looked at Lu Jingyuan behind him.

"Hey, that, before I—"

"Sell yourself to bury your father?"

"how do you know?"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked surprised, and then suddenly realized, with Lu Jingyuan's cleverness, he naturally guessed it from what the two of them said just now.

Of course, this is just one of them, and the second is that Tan Min went back and talked about it.

But looking at that girl, her eyes are clear, although she is quite ambitious, but she has a good heart, so she didn't say anything.

Immediately raised his feet and walked directly to the inn.

Xia Xiaoqiao shrugged helplessly and followed behind.

"What do you want to drink? Well, you drank a lot tonight, why don't you drink some honey lemonade, which will not only relieve your stomach but also nourish your stomach."

As soon as she entered the room, Xia Xiaoqiao started talking on her own.

"it is good."

Lu Jingyuan's voice was low and doting, and after speaking, he lifted up his robe and sat beside the desk, looking up at her.

Seeing this, Xia Xiaoqiao hurriedly cleaned her hands, took out a golden lemon from the space, cut it into slices and poured it with Lingquan water, sprinkled a spoonful of honey, added some ice cubes, and finally picked a few fresh leaves mint leaves.

Put it in a cup, it is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Drinking in the mouth, it is cool and refreshing, not to mention, it also has a sweet and sour taste, without losing the fragrance of mint.

"This drink is wonderful."

"Is it good to drink?"

Xia Xiaoqiao put a smile on her face, made a similar one for herself, and then sat opposite each other.

The moonlight shines on the two of them through the window lattice, reflecting the candlelight in the room, it clearly illuminates their faces.

A talented man and a beautiful woman are truly a match made in heaven.

"Delicious."

Lu Jingyuan was playing with the transparent glass cup in his hand, his heart was agitated, and he didn't want to be as calm as the surface.

"What? Are you looking for me?"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked at the other party with fixed eyes, but Lu Jingyuan's hand tightened slightly, "It's not very important to be a deacon."

After speaking, he directly took out the jade pendant returned by General Chang from his pocket, and slowly placed it on the table.

"Huh? Did he return the jade pendant to you?"

"Ah."

Lu Jingyuan responded softly, and then said: "Whoever holds this jade pendant can mobilize up to five thousand elites in each guard."

"what?"

Now Xia Xiaoqiao was stunned, looking at the jade pendant for a long time but couldn't recover.

Five thousand?Or elite?
This private deployment of troops is a serious crime, if people know about it, wouldn't it be? ? ?
Xia Xiaoqiao swallowed, looked up at Lu Jingyuan and said, "This?"

Now things get complicated.

Were all the ancients so honest?

If it's just to repay his kindness, how can he not repay him as the Duke of Zhenguo who is a super-ranked person?
Why bother to entrust all your wealth and life?
Even if he is honorable, can he be more honorable than the current emperor?
What is he trying to do?
And what's the point of giving her this hot potato?
