Flower hibiscus this smile, warmed the South Island heart.
He raised his eyebrows, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and threw an eye at the flower, hibiscus.
"You're welcome!"
Seeing the actions of the two, Bai Zhan Ke's face became a bit dark and gloomy.
"Empress, Empress, your servant has found some water. Drink some first. Drink it and your stomach will feel better."
Just as everyone was looking at Hua Mu Jin and Nanyu, the green bamboo broke the stiff and awkward atmosphere by jogging over with water.
"Ask them if they want to drink it first. I'll drink it after I've bandaged Luo Chen's wound."
Green Bamboo sensed that something was wrong, and passed the water in his hand to Bai Zhan Ke.
"Your majesty, please drink some water."
"No need!"
Green Bamboo's outstretched hand froze. He didn't know whether to retract it or not. After all, this man in front of him was the ruler of a country, the emperor of Huan Yue Country.
"Hand it over. This general is thirsty."
Shangguan Yi suddenly spoke up, giving Green Bamboo a way out of his confusion.
In his heart, he was extremely grateful to Duan Ling Tian.
But in reality, Shangguan Yi wasn't helping her, he was truly thirsty and wanted to drink water.
"Imperial Concubine Xi, why does this person behind you look so familiar?"
After drinking the water, Shangguan Yi looked up at the South Island that stood not far behind Hua Mujiao. He was very clear on the identity of the South Island, but he still insisted on asking this question.
Hua Mujiao continued to bandage Luo Chen's wound. Upon hearing Shangguan Yi's question, she answered, "You've seen it, of course it looks familiar."
With a smile, Shangguan Yi pursed her lips, pretending to think for a while before raising her eyebrows.
"Oh, now this general remembers. Isn't that the person who nearly died when Esteemed Empress Xi saved him the other day?" This general really didn't recognize any of your attire. "
As she spoke, Shangguan Yi walked towards him.
Although both of them were clad in white standing in front of Nanyu, Shangguan Yi's white clothes had long been dyed red with blood, with only a few areas that had not been dyed red with blood.
"It could be said that it was worth it for Empress Dowager Xi to save you that day. It was also thanks to your timely appearance that you ensured her safety. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the heart to wholeheartedly deal with those assassins." "However …"
As she spoke, Shangguan Yi paused for a moment before her smiling eyes turned fierce.
"Although you were the one who saved Empress Xi, if you want anything from her, this general would advise you to give up on this idea. We'll give you the gold, but it's only gold!"
The feeling that the South Island gave Shangguan Yi was extremely dangerous.
If such a person were to appear by Hua Mu Jin's side frequently, it would definitely bring her a lot of danger.
Looking at Shangguan Yi, Nan Yu smirked.
"General Shangguan, is it? "He really does have the bearing of a general."
After saying that, Nanyu shifted her gaze and looked towards Hua Mu Jin.
Then, he continued, "But I hope General Shangguan understands. First, although it's convenient for me to save you, you must give me the gold. Secondly, she saved you all because of her. Third, only she wants to save me when I appear. Whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with you. "
Shangguan Yi had always been a talkative person, but now she had met someone who could speak the same way as him, and had provoked a competitive spirit in him.
"This general doesn't think you understand, right? Whether you make a move or not is your problem, but this general must tell you clearly, even if you don't make a move, we will not die, at least we will all live longer than you. "
Glancing at Shangguan Yi, it seemed that Nanyu didn't want to argue with him anymore.
He walked past him and walked to Hua Mujiao's side.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and speak, Bai Zhan suddenly dodged and shielded Hua Mujiao behind him.
From the perspective of the two men, it was a showdown.
"What is it? Are you afraid that I will harm her? "
Seeing that Nantan's attitude towards Bai Zhan Ke was extremely bad, Nan Ge growled in a low voice.
"Nanyu, pay attention to your attitude!"
She was not afraid of Shangguan Yi.
On the contrary, there was a provocative look on his face.
"Humph? Attitude? Nan Ge, he is your master, not mine. In this Pavilion Master's eyes, no matter what sovereign, this Pavilion Master has never looked down on me. "
With that, Nan Yu turned around and stared at Nan Ge, his eyes full of anger.
"Also, your Nan Ge and I have broken off all ties. You are no longer my Nan Yu's brother, so don't use your brother's attitude to educate me about what to do. This will only make me want to kill you even more!"
Nanyu's words completely shocked the flower hibiscus.
She had never known that the Nan Ge and the South Island were brothers by blood?
"Enough, stop staring at each other. This place isn't safe yet. Hurry up and get someone to clear the way. It's better to leave this place earlier." "Nanyu, come with me. I have something to ask you."
Hua Mujiao came out from behind Bai Zhan Ke. She did indeed have something to ask the south island.
However, just as she took a step forward, Bai Zhan grabbed her arm.
Seeing the worry in his black eyes, Hua Mujiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, he won't do anything to me. I'll just talk to him for a bit and he'll be fine."
As she spoke, she placed her hand on the back of his. Feeling the warmth from her hand, Bai Zhan Ke loosened his grip.
"Don't go too far. Remember to call me."
"Right."
Afterwards, Hua Mu Jin and Nanyu walked to a shady place. She raised her eyes, and her expression was gentle.
"Regardless, I still have to thank you again for saving me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that I would have been smashed to death in my palanquin. The most important thing is that I wanted to thank you for the child in my womb, giving him the opportunity to see this world. "
When Hua Mujiao had just opened her mouth, Nanyu's face was still filled with a proud smile.
But when she said that last sentence, the smile on her face froze, and her eyes widened!
"What did you just say? Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly. "
Although she didn't know why South Island had such a reaction, Hua Mu Jin was still very patient. "I said, I want to thank you for saving me and the child in my stomach."
"Are you pregnant?"
"That's right, the imperial physician just diagnosed it a moment ago."
Nanyu's line of sight subconsciously looked at Hua Mu Jin's lower abdomen.
He slightly creased his brow and moved his hand, extending it towards Hua Mujiao's abdomen.
At the same time, his eyes revealed a peculiar expression.
However, just as his hand was about to touch her lower abdomen, he suddenly retracted his hand.
"Fuck?" You want to touch the fetus? It had only been a month, and the child would not move until his stomach was fully formed. "When he's older, you come and see him again, okay?"
Nan Yu's hand was clenched into a fist, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as he pulled out a smile. "Hahahaha!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
"Alright, didn't you say that you wanted to ask this Pavilion Master? "What is it? Go ahead and ask."
Pursing her lips, Hua Mu Jin slightly turned to the side, looking at Bai Zhan Ke, who was staring at her, and said, "Actually, it's not that I want to ask you something, it's just that I want to ask you a favor."
"What kind of help?"
When she turned around, Hua Mujiao raised her eyes to look at the man dressed in white in front of her with determination.
"We still have four or five days to travel to the Southland. Originally, the empress dowager's assassination was within our expectations, but now that I've been diagnosed with a pregnancy, they have to worry about me while dealing with the killers. I'm afraid that they will be distracted and injured like today."
"So, you want me to escort you to the capital of the Southern Kingdom?"
As soon as Hua Mujie's voice fell, Nanyu guessed what she was going to say next.
She nodded her head and said, "Mm, I want to ask you to escort us secretly. The empress dowager won't let go of this opportunity, as the number of assassins we'll send later on will increase. In addition, we've lost quite a few guards in today's battle.
Upon hearing this, Nanyu folded her arms across her chest and curled her lips.
He looked meaningfully at Hua Mujiao and asked, "Then tell me, what benefits can you give me?"
Benefits?
This, the flower hibiscus really hadn't thought of this.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Didn't you guys take money to do things for others in the Mortal Life Pavilion? I'll give you two times the usual price. How about I escort you for a day to increase your price? "
"It sounds tempting, but don't you know that in the Mortal Life Pavilion, we kill people for money, not as bodyguards?"
Seeing that Nanyu seemed to be unwilling, Hua Mujiao became anxious.
If she hadn't been diagnosed with a pregnancy, they would have dealt with the killers effortlessly.
But now that she was pregnant, she had become their primary target of protection. To put it harshly, she had become a huge burden.
"If there are assassins approaching, you and your men will kill them. Isn't that the same as taking money from people to kill people?"
With a white eye at Hibiscus vulgaris, Nanyu felt a little helpless.
Taking a deep breath, he said in a low voice, "I can tell you this, but the so-called empress dowager you speak of is from the Five Elements Palace, the largest sect of assassins in the martial arts world. They always have a large number of people, but today, a few dozen people have died, so it's just the tip of the iceberg, do you understand? "
The tip of the iceberg?
When Hua Mujie heard this, she looked at the body of the black clothed man in the distance and frowned.
"However, the price of murder in the Five Elements Palace is outrageously high. If the empress dowager could satisfy their desire for money, then these people wouldn't be the only ones coming to die. "The Five Elements Palace lost tens of people today, I'm afraid they'll have to make conditions for the empress dowager. If she doesn't agree, then there won't be any more assassins after this."
Hua Mujiao didn't know how rich the empress dowager was in terms of money, but she was certain that the empress dowager would never stop just like that.
"I know, that's why I need you to escort me secretly. Don't worry, I'm very rich. When we get back, I'll send someone to deliver the banknotes and gold to the Lifestyle Pavilion."
She glanced at Hua Mu Jin with disdain. It was obvious that Nan Yu didn't want to receive such an answer from her.
"Do you understand the meaning behind this Pavilion Master's words? To me, wealth is just an external object. My main object is you, understand? "
