Found a loyal dog

Chapter 41

The next day, Mu Xiong went to the bodyguard bureau to resign. She had worked for more than a month, and she was a little bit reluctant to quit the head of the bodyguard suddenly.

Chief escort: "If you still want to be an escort in the future, you are welcome to come anytime."

Mu Xiong: "Thank you."

Saying goodbye to the chief escort, Mu Xiong hurried to the palace, where Zhong Lisu was in the bedroom, ready to go to bed.

Zhong Lisu's face was full of joy: "Sister, why are you here so late?"

It's rare for my sister to come to the palace, no matter how sleepy she is, she will postpone going to bed.Zhong Lisu pushed Mu Xiong onto the chair, turned his head and told the palace man, "Go get some refreshments."

"You don't need to be so troublesome." Mu Xiong stopped her, and mentioned the matter of Li Wanjun's mother to her.

Zhong Lisu was originally very happy because of his sister's rare visit, but after hearing Mu Xiong Daoming's intentions, he couldn't help feeling disappointed, and said in a sense of loss, "You came here in the middle of the night just to tell me this? It's the same when you come back in the daytime tomorrow. We can do more. Let's talk for a while."

Mu Xiong: "I'm afraid that if I don't come today, Murong will be unhappy when I go back. It's rare for her to ask me for something."

Thinking of Murong, her whole body became alive, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.

Zhong Lisu frowned, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and fell silent for a while.

At this time, a guard rushed in anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of War has something urgent to see you!"

I'm afraid it's not a good thing to come so late.Zhong Lisu frowned: "Let her in."

The minister of the Ministry of War was sweating profusely with his hair disheveled, and his clothes were worn backwards. When he came in, he didn't even care about etiquette, so he knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the news just came from the south that 10,000+ barbarian cavalry raided the border, and our side suffered heavy losses. , Wangu City fell half an hour ago, and General Zhennan has already died."

"What?!" Zhong Lijin slapped the table and stood up excitedly from the chair.

The Minister of the Ministry of War was lying on the ground with his forehead close to the ground to report, but when he heard the voice, he immediately looked up at Zhong Lijin, with hope shining in his eyes: "General! Are you cured? Please go to the battle as soon as possible!"

The situation was more critical than expected. The barbarians caught them off guard by picking them up late at night this time. Zhonglisu cursed secretly, then turned to tell Zhonglijin: "Sister, you should rest in the palace for the night first, and leave for the border tomorrow morning."

The all-or-nothing force is terrifyingly powerful, and the Nanman has been conspiring for a long time. Although Zhong Lisu paid attention and sent people to follow him, if the barbarians really want to go ruthless, they might not really be opponents.

Mu Xiong was angry at those generals who were useless, and at the same time angry at herself.If it wasn't for her refusing to come back because of chasing women's votes, their country would not have fallen into such a passive situation.

Mu Xiong helped the minister of the military department to get up, and said guiltily: "It's not too late, I'll rush over now."

Zhong Lisu originally wanted to persuade her to rest before going, but seeing her resolute attitude, he had no choice but to give up.She went into the inner room of the bedroom, and quickly came out with half a piece of Tiger Talisman, and handed it to Mu Xiong: "I'm afraid of such an emergency, since you... I have been keeping it for you. You must return safely."

Mu Xiong put away the tiger talisman, nodded vigorously, walked a few steps and turned back: "Tell Murong for me, tell her not to worry about me, and I will come back to see her as soon as the matter is resolved."

There was no time to say goodbye to Murong, and if she went to Murong's house, she would have to take a long detour, so Mu Xiong had no choice but to ask Zhong Lisu.

After a pause, Mu Xiong added: "I have already told her that my real identity is the Great General."

Zhong Lisu's eyes flashed, and he quickly returned to normal, with the same gentle and kind look: "Okay."

----

Mu Xiong was away for four days, Murong waited and waited, usually taught the children, teased Mu Shao, and chatted with Wang Qi, one day passed like this.Before meeting Mu Xiong, every day in the past was like this, but these days are like years, every minute and every second is extremely difficult.

Mu Xiong didn't come back the next day, she thought it was because the two sisters had a rare reunion, so she stayed one more night, oh, she could understand, then waited for the third day, the fourth day...

Murong decided to go to the palace to look for Mu Xiong, she couldn't wait any longer, she couldn't wait any longer.

She hadn't set off yet, but Zhong Lisu came to the door first.

Zhong Lisu brought two guards with him, still wearing black veiled caps.

Murong looked behind her: "Where's Mu Xiong?"

Zhong Lisu said coldly: "She didn't come."

Murong was puzzled: "Why didn't you come?"

Zhonglisu: "I came this time to tell you that she will never come back to you."

Murong blinked: "What do you mean?"

"What's the point?" Zhong Lisu sneered, "She asked me to tell you that she was just playing with you. When she lost her memory before, she just took you for a ride, because you can provide accommodation and meals. "

"You don't really think she likes you, do you? Haha, 'How can I like her, she's just a country turtle, she's just used. If you want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, you don't have to weigh yourself first.' These are her exact words .”

She finished speaking in one breath, and waited excitedly to see Murong's injured expression.

Murong didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows: "Oh, so you hate me so much."

Zhong Lisu: "..."

Could it be that she didn't make it obvious enough?Zhong Li was astonished, and continued to insist: "Give up as soon as possible, if you want compensation, no problem, how much you want, just ask for a price."

It's kind of insulting to say that.

Murong's expression tightened, he stared at her for a while, then turned and entered the room.

If you don't refuse, you accept it. This Murong is nothing more than that. He says he loves her sister, but in fact he is just greedy for money. I really should let my sister see this woman's ugly face.Thinking of this, Zhong Lisu couldn't help showing a look of contempt on his face.

Murong came out with a thick stack of banknotes, and threw them into the air with his hands, like a winter snow, filling the entire line of sight in an instant.

As if it were just scraps of paper and not money.

A local tyrant is like an emperor, who has several tons of gold in the national treasury and has never dared to squander like this. Zhong Lisu didn't expect this to happen, and was stunned.

Murong stood on the steps, raised his chin at Zhonglisu, and said disdainfully: "I have money."

The positions of the insulted and the insulted suddenly changed, Zhong Lisu's face was livid with anger, and his eyes narrowed dangerously: "Oh, do you think that if you have money, you have confidence?"

She looked at Mu Shao, who was clutching Murong's pants with an ignorant face: "Your mother colluded with foreigners, and the traitors should be exterminated. The late emperor made a mistake and let you escape, but I won't, I won't let you go, and I won't let you go." You won't be soft-hearted. Even if you are not afraid of death, you don't care, but what about your daughter?"

Murong pursed her lips tightly: "...what do you want?"

Zhong Lisu laughed: "It's very simple, leave her, and I won't trouble you and your daughter."

----

This battle lasted for ten months.

Mu Xiong is used to this kind of life, she doesn't feel bitter, not to mention there is Murong's letter to accompany her this time.

The content of the letter is nothing more than concern about how she is doing, whether she is injured, whether she eats on time, and keeps warm.She would read the letter every day before going to bed, and then fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Often too busy to sleep, Mu Xiong carefully stuffs the letter in his arms, thinking that there are still people waiting for her in the distance, she will be full of energy.

The battle situation gradually improved, and everything was going smoothly, the only thing that made Mu Xiong feel strange was that the letters Murong sent her in the next few days were a little different from the second letter.The first letter was often painted with emojis that she couldn't understand, as well as various heart patterns, but from the second letter on, those things that belonged to Murong's characteristics suddenly disappeared.

But the font is still the same, and it would be too hasty to draw conclusions from the pattern alone.

Later, when the battle came to a critical juncture, Mu Xiong forgot about it.

On the day of the final victory, she received another letter from Murong, this time there was only one sentence in the letter: I don't think we are suitable, let's break up.

Mu Xiong went crazy. He fought without sleep for three consecutive days. He didn't rest after the victory.

The door of Murong's house was locked, and the door panel was covered with dust.

She kept the key that Murong gave her close to her body all the time, Mu Xiong took out the key with trembling hands to open the door, a pungent musty smell scrambled into his nostrils.

No, not a single person.

The neighbor went out and saw Mu Xiong sitting on the steps in despair. The door behind Mu Xiong was wide open. The neighbor was surprised and said, "Didn't you move away? Why did you come back suddenly?"
