Found a loyal dog

Chapter 15

The next day Murong woke up, there was only him and Mu Shao on the bed, the other side was empty, even the sheets were cold when touched.

It was still early, the inn had just opened not long ago, there were only three or four guests downstairs eating breakfast quietly, Murong glanced over and did not see Mu Xiong.

She closed the door, thought for a while, and then opened the window. Outside the window, Mu Xiong was practicing sword in the courtyard downstairs. Although each move was simple, it could make people feel the spiritual energy in it. Bear practiced well.

Murong propped his chin to look.Only yesterday did I realize that I knew martial arts, and I only read a few books on swordsmanship. This morning, I was able to use the sword well. It can be seen that Mu Xiong must have been a person with high martial arts skills before he lost his memory.

Some things can't be hidden no matter what, Mu Xiong's vigor and agility are all there when he uses the sword, even if he randomly pulls a passerby from the street, he can see that Mu Xiong is suitable for sword use.A martial arts foundation like Mu Xiong's can't be practiced in seven or eight years.

A woman who practiced martial arts since she was a child and was born in a wealthy family... Could it be Zhong Lijin?This thought appeared in his mind without warning, but was quickly denied by Murong.

As the general of this country, Zhong Lijin, if something happens, it is absolutely impossible that there will be no news at all.Even if the court can hide the news of the general's accident, what about the news that she heard that the general will come to the border towns to meet the guards to boost morale and stay in the border towns in case the barbarians suddenly attack? explain?

Several high-ranking soldiers had fought against Zhong Lijin. If it wasn't Zhong Lijin who went there, he would be spotted right away.

The court can't make fun of this kind of thing and slap itself in the face.If Zhong Lijin disappeared, the emperor didn't need to spread the news that Zhong Lijin was coming to the border if he wanted to hide it, it would be safer to just say that Zhong Lijin was injured and recuperating at home.

Who is Mu Xiong?People in this world respect both literature and martial arts. Parents with a little background will let their daughters learn martial arts, and martial arts learning basically starts at an early age. If you calculate this way, there are quite a few people who meet the standards.Looking for it based on Jiafu and Huiwu alone is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Murong sighed.

Mu Xiong, who was practicing sword downstairs, suddenly put away his sword and looked up at Murong: "Why are you sighing, didn't you sleep well last night?"

She stopped and raised her head before Murong saw the dark circles under her eyes, smiled and tapped her eyes with her index finger, Mu Xiong dodged his eyes for a while, and covered his eyes in a concealed manner.

Murong was amused by this cute reaction, and waved to Mu Xiong in a happy mood: "It's time to eat, you come up here."

Leaving this town today is the forest, and I can only eat some dry food on the way, so this morning's breakfast is a bit different from the previous breakfast, like Chinese food, and stir-fried vegetables.

Jiang Xin waved to Murong who had just come down, and patted the seat on his right hand, signaling Murong to sit down.

Murong didn't care, he hugged Mu Shao and sat down on Jiang Xin's right, Mu Xiong, who came a step late, had to sit on Jiang Xin's left, with a stinky expression on his face.

Murong feeds Mu Shao first, and then uses a spoon to pick up rice and deliver it to his mouth.

Jiang Xin watched Murong take off his veil every time he ate a meal, and felt troubled for Murong in his heart, so he stretched out his hand to help Murong take it off.

A hand was faster than her, inserted from the side, and grabbed her wrist.

Mu Xiong's voice sounded a little cold, implying a warning: "What are you going to do?"

Murong hurriedly covered his veil, secretly blaming himself for being careless.

Jiang Xin turned his head to look at the stern-faced Mu Xiong, looked at it for a while, then raised one eyebrow, and picked up a chopstick dish for Murong with the other hand.

Murong had never seen this kind of dish before, so he tried to take a bite and found that it tasted very good, so he ate it up, and he was naturally in a good mood because of the delicious food, so he smiled a little more in his eyes: "Thank you."

Jiang Xin showed a meaningful smile to Mu Xiong, both showing off and provocative.

There was an unknown fire in Mu Xiong's heart, and he picked up a chopstick of chicken and put it into Murong's bowl.

Murong was stunned for a moment, thinking that these two people are really naive, he smiled helplessly and ate the chicken.

Jiang Xin picked up vegetables and Murong smiled happily, and Murong's expression became helpless, and Mu Xiong was a little unhappy.

Jiang Xin continued to pick up a bunch of dishes into Murong's bowl without stopping, Murong couldn't finish eating so much, he waved his hands again and again: "Don't pick up, I can't eat it."

Neither Jiang Xin nor Mu Xiong paid any attention to her. The two of them seemed to be caught in a strange competition, and neither of them would stop first.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Murong had no choice but to give up.

Soon a small hill was piled up in front of Murong.Mu Xiong was able to compete with Jiang Xin at the beginning, but gradually felt powerless because he was too far away from Murong, and in the end this match became Jiang Xin's special game.

Jiang Xin triumphantly glanced at Mu Xiong, who was shrouded in shadow.

Murong, who watched the whole process, was speechless. What are these two people arguing about?There is no reward and she is the one who suffers in the end. After eating so many dishes, she must be half dead?

Jiang Xin looked at Murong with burning eyes, and Murong seemed to see a murderous intent in her eyes similar to "Do you dare to finish this bowl of rice?"

Murong Xiao's heart trembled, and the hand holding the bowl trembled.

Suddenly, his eyes blurred, the bowl in his hand disappeared, and there was a half-eaten bowl of white rice in front of him.

Mu Xiong swallowed the small hill with his head down, as fast as an African refugee rescue site.

There was no leftover food on the table, Murong opened his mouth, with a confused look on his face: "...Damn it, why don't you save some food for me!"

Mu Xiong touched his stuffed stomach, his eyebrows were wrinkled together in pain, and he did not forget to make up the knife meanly: "No!"

Mu Shao excitedly dropped the chopsticks he was playing with, crawled up to Murong, and stretched out his hand: "Mom, you're swearing!"

Murong: "..."

I must have owed you two or one hundred million in my previous life!With a depressed face, Murong took out a copper plate and put it in Mu Shao's palm, and aggrievedly picked up Mu Xiong's half bowl of cold rice and ate it.

----------

A few people started on the road after eating, and walked non-stop through the forest into the official road. The closer they got to Jusuo Town, the fewer people were on the road. There were not only shops on both sides of the official road, but there were no trees, only yellow sand flying in the sky.

Soon the city gate appeared in their field of vision.The vermilion gate was tightly closed, without guards blocking it, Murong and his party took the initiative to rein in their horses and stop.

Standing on the city gate, someone who looked like the little leader of the guards shouted to Murong and the others: "Who is here?"

Zhang Lin dismounted and saluted with fists in his hands: "My surname is Zhao. I am a teacher. Because my house was on fire, I came to join my relatives. This is my wife. They are my daughter and granddaughter."

The little boss glanced over the faces of Murong and the others one by one: "The imperial court ordered a few days ago that the door must be closed every day from now on. You can come back tomorrow."

That being the case, they had no choice but to return to the forest, stay in the forest for one night, and come back the next day.

Several people drove their horses back, but no one spoke.Li Zi was the most impatient, and asked Zhang Lin curiously: "Is this regulation only made yesterday? Otherwise, why didn't I receive any news?"

Zhang Lin was silent.Li Zi got used to her cold temper, so she didn't get annoyed, and said to herself: "Besides, it's too early to close the city gate at Shenshi! It's still bright. Tell me, why did you close the gate so early? "

No one answered, Wang Qi was a man who didn't understand politics so he didn't know how to answer, Zhang Lin and Jiang Xin sat on the horse silently as usual, Mu Xiong frowned slightly, but there was not much doubt in his eyes.

The atmosphere was quiet, only the sound of horseshoes stepping on the official road.

Li Zi felt that he was abandoned, so he howled a few more words in a daze.

Murong looked at her sympathetically.

Here is very close to the border, so there is only one possibility to close the city gate so early - I am afraid that the town of Suo is already in chaos, even if it is not, then the battle between the two clans is not far away.
