The sky gradually darkened.

The medicines cooked for the coaches were taken away by the coaches. Since Lin Shuanghe came to Liangzhou Guard, all Xiao Jue's medicines were handled by Lin Shuanghe, so he didn't even have the words to talk to. Chen Muxue stood here, and Xiao Jue was focused on the training of the Nanfu soldiers, and had no intention of talking to her. After a long time, he naturally felt embarrassed.

After all, she was a lady with golden branches and jade leaves in the Censor's Mansion, and her self-esteem was so strong that she could bear to share hardships with Xiao Jue, and she would not be a doctor in such a bitter and cold place. But she could not be like those girls from ordinary people, even servants and maids, expressing her feelings to Xiao Jue frankly and directly.

What Chen Muxue has always hoped that as long as she stays by Xiao Jue's side, Xiao Jue will one day discover her goodness and will take the initiative to tell her that they are the most compatible people in the world. This is her reserve, and she has never felt relieved. After all, there are many beauties around Xiao Jue who are thrusting up, but I have never seen him touched her. Xiao Jue is not close to women at all.

But now, Chen Muxue is confused. Some things make her have a bad premonition. If she had not let Xiao Jue see her goodness, Xiao Jue would have fallen in love with someone else?

Chen Muxue could not imagine such a picture.

She picked up the empty bamboo basket and did not say goodbye to Xiao Jue. She turned around and walked out. When Xiao Jue was training, she was not happy to disturb him. Over the years, she had already figured out Xiao Jue's preferences clearly.

"Miss Chen." Someone called her.

Chen Muxue raised her head, the man in front of her wide-sleeved robe smiled and pointed to the front, "If you lower your head like this, you will hit the stone in front."

Not far away, there was a huge rock. The new recruits from Liangzhou Guard often like to sharpen their knives on this huge rock. Now the potholes on them are full of knife marks, and there are also people carved with messy words of cursing. She was just now and didn't even see such a big stone. If Chu Zhao hadn't spoken to remind him, she would have hit him in a silence.

Chen Muxue stopped and owed Chu Zhao, "Second Young Master Chu."

She knew that Xiao Jue and Chu Zhao had a different position. After all, Chu Zhao was Xu Xiang's favorite student. However, Chu Zhao was born well and had a gentle temperament, so it was difficult for ordinary women to feel disgusted with him. The same is true for Chen Muxue. When she meets him on weekdays, she never loses her etiquette.

"Miss Chen seems to have something to worry about." Chu Zhao smiled slightly: "But are you worried about Governor Xiao?"

Chen Muxue was shocked and instantly felt panic as if she was peeped at. But after a moment, she calmed down and said softly: "There is nothing, I'm just thinking about the pharmacology in the medical books I read today. Mr. Chu Si was worried too much."

Chu Zhao nodded and was about to continue walking forward. The moment he passed by, Chen Muxue was moved and suddenly asked, "The Fourth Master Chu seems to have a good relationship with a new recruit named He Yan, a Liangzhou Guard?"

Chen Muxue has seen Chu Zhao talk to He Yan several times. Although Chu Zhao is approachable on weekdays and never acts like an official young master, he is definitely not a passionate and talkative person. In Liangzhou, he has no contact with others except talking to that beautiful and overly maid. However, he is very kind to He Yan.

"Brother He?" Chu Zhao paused, "Brother He is my friend in Liangzhou Guard. Does Miss Chen have anything to come to him?"

He admitted it directly, but Chen Muxue didn't know what to ask. After a while, he looked at Chu Zhao, "When U-command sent troops to Jiyang, I heard that the Fourth Master Chu was there at that time and lived with the Governor and the others in the Zhongqi Mansion. The Fourth Master Chu is He Yan's friend, so I must have known a lot about He Yan's affairs."

Chu Zhao listened quietly to her.

Chen Muxue hesitated for a moment before asking: "How is the relationship between the governor and He Yan? They... are they getting along well?"

"Ms. Chen asked a little strangely," Chu Zhao's eyes flashed over the woman in front of him. Chen Muxue grabbed the corner of her skirt nervously. Chu Zhao smiled, "Brother He is very skilled and straightforward, and is trusted by Governor Xiao. Ms. Chen should know better than anyone else. Governor Xiao is definitely not an easy person to approach, but Brother He is not an ordinary person, and seems to have easily opened Governor Xiao's heart."

"Instead of being a master and confidant, I think Governor Xiao and Brother He are more like friends."

"Friend?" Chen Muxue's voice became a little sharp for a moment. She frowned: "The governor of the Right Army and a new recruit, who are so bad in his identities, how can he be friends?"

Chu Zhao smiled: "Ms. Chen said badly. You should be at will when making friends. Age, identity, and position are not important. How can friends distinguish between high and low? Governor Xiao treats Brother He as a good person. When they were in Jiyang, they lived in the same room and had a meal on the same table. Governor Xiao also bought clothes and outfits for Brother He. If you say you are superiors and subordinates, it would be too far-fetched."

Chen Muxue was secretly shocked when she heard this.

Xiao Jue loves Jie and is withdrawn. Eating on the same table with others is already the limit. She lives in the same room? She can't imagine that when did he care about these details of others even when she bought a suit for He Yan?

Chu Zhao stared at Chen Muxue's eyes: "What are Miss Chen worried about?"

Chen Muxue met his thoughtful gaze, couldn't help but take a step back, subconsciously shook her head and denied: "No."

"Since Miss Chen's woman's body is able to travel thousands of miles from Shuojing to Liangzhou, she should be a person with a firm mind and courageous and open mind. Why did she feel timid in this matter?"

Chen Muxue pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

"I can probably understand something about Miss Chen's concern. Brother He is my friend, and I can't say much, but I also admire Miss Chen's intentions, so... if Miss Chen really can't let it go, it's better to go and explore it yourself. Sometimes," he said lightly: "People should believe in their intuition, especially... women."

Chen Muxue raised her head, and the man in front of her was still smiling slightly, with gentle and concerned eyes, but it made her unconsciously feel a faint chill all over her body.

"I... don't understand what Mr. Chu is talking about." She frowned, clenched the basket in her hand, and quickly walked around Chu Zhao: "I'm going back to make medicinal materials. Mr. Chu is going to say goodbye."

Chen Muxue hurriedly left, and her back looked a little embarrassed. Chu Zhao looked at her back, her smile slightly closed, and after a moment, she lowered her head and said to herself: "It's getting more and more interesting."

"Chen Muxue," he murmured: "Xiao Huaijin, which one would you choose?"

...

The daily training of new recruits in the martial arts field is over.

When Lin Shuanghe passed by the martial arts venue, he happened to see Xiao Jue disperse the soldiers of the South Mansion, so he went up and said hello, intending to go back for dinner with Xiao Jue.

"Huaijin, have you been training me Sister He so hard these days? I haven't seen her for a long time. I have to remind you that she still has injuries on her body. Although it is not very serious, the girl's family is not as good as a man. You should take more rest. You should be more considerate in your life."

Xiao Jue said coldly: "Mediating on other people's business."

"How can this be called a nostalgic business? Sister He is my friend and you are also your friend. Friends should have helped each other."

"Precaution yourself first."

Lin Shuanghe shook the fan and sensitively realized that Xiao Jue was in a bad mood today. Although this person was in a good mood or not, he would not reveal too much on his face, but... it was because of years of friendship and some subtleties that could still be captured.

He was about to ask, but when he looked up, he saw someone walking not far away. Liangzhou Guards came and went, except for recruits and coaches, and people who did not wear uniform clothes always seemed particularly eye-catching. Lin Shuanghe said, "Second Master Chu?"

Chu Zhao turned around and saw that it was Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe. He nodded and said, "Governor Xiao, Mr. Lin."

"It's so late, what are Mr. Chu doing here?" Lin Shuanghe asked.

"I just walked by Wulu River, and now I'm back."

The weather has gradually begun to warm up. With the scent of early summer, the winter is gone by the Wulu River, which is cool and pleasant. It is indeed comfortable to walk around at night.

Xiao Jue was cold and too lazy to pay attention to Chu Zhao. Lin Shuanghe was naturally harmonious and could not make the atmosphere so stiff. However, he and Chu Zhao had not had much contact, so he had to make no talk. He asked Chu Zhao, "What is the fourth young master Chu tied his waist?"

Chu Zhao followed his gaze and smiled: "It's just a stone."

Lin Shuanghe was a little curious. Chu Zhao was both the fourth son of the Chu family and Xu Jingfu's favorite student. Although his clothes were not too gorgeous and expensive, he was considered to be particular. He thought Chu Zhao was wearing a piece of jade on his waist, but he didn't expect it to be a stone. The Chu family was about to fall? So poor?

As if he saw the surprise in Lin Shuanghe's eyes, Chu Zhao smiled, took off the stone from his waist, and handed it to Lin Shuanghe.

Lin Shuanghe took a look and found that it was a flat stone, naturally in the shape of a horse, with marks of grinding at the tail. It was also carved on the head and the horse. If it was made of jade, it would be interesting and lively, but the stone was made of it, it was more like a thing for children to play with, and I couldn't tell what was special.

This is indeed just a stone.

"How could Mr. Chu Si want to tie a stone on his body?" Lin Shuanghe handed him back the stone in his hand and coughed twice, "This stone is not worthy of Mr. Chu Si."

"My friend's wishes are priceless even if they are stones." Chu Zhao answered very seriously.

When Lin Shuanghe heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and looked at Chu Zhao with a smile: "What is the meaning of the Fourth Young Master Chu? Is this the girl in my heart given to me?" He changed his mind about Chu Zhao. You must know that Chu Zhao is the one that Xu Bingting likes. No matter how powerful Chu Zhao is, he is still not as good as he dares to fight Xu Xiang openly, and Xu Xiang loves his pearl the most. Xu Bingting's eyes are higher than the top, so he will definitely not give Chu Zhao a stone. The girls who can give such things are probably the daughter of an ordinary family. Chu Zhao dares to wear the gifts given by a woman other than Xu Bingting on her body, and is not afraid of being discovered by the father and daughter of the Xu family, so he can't afford to take care of it.

How can this be less admirable?

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "It's not a girl he loves, it's Brother He."

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were quiet.

Xiao Jue's eyes fell on Chu Zhao's face, but Lin Shuanghe couldn't wait to ask: "You said it was He...brother gave it to you?"

"That's right," Chu Zhao said: "The stone was originally finished with her carving."

Lin Shuanghe was shocked.

With all his precautions, He Yan was still trapped! He could even do something like sending stones, which shows that he loved it very much. But she can't blame her. She was at the age of just falling in love, so who could resist the attack of the gentle and kind young master?

It would be fine if it was someone else, but Chu Zilan and Lin Shuanghe thought it was not a good match. Not to mention the messy things in Chu Zilan's father Chu Linfeng's yard, it would be difficult for Xu Bingting to deal with it. After all, He Yan has no identity and background, so it would be easy for Xu Bingting to find a reason to deal with He Yan. If Chu Zhao really has He Yan in his heart, the best way should be to stay away from him, but if he is so unconcealed, wouldn't He Yan become a living target and put it in front of him and wait for Xu Bingting to come and cause trouble.

What's more, Chu Zhao knew He Yan's identity.

For a moment, Lin Shuanghe, who had always been "kind to others", looked at Chu Zhao with a little hostility.

Who is Chu Zhao? He saw the hostility that Lin Shuanghe suddenly developed, and his expression remained unchanged. He looked at Xiao Jue again. The young master's dark blue brocade robe was covered with a layer of cold color under the night. His figure was handsome and upright, and his eyes were dark, looking at him faintly.

It seems to have sharp sharpness.

He smiled and bowed: "My house is here, so I won't disturb Governor Xiao and Mr. Lin for now." As he said that, he turned around and headed in another direction.

"This Chu Zilan is a bit unkind." Lin Shuanghe looked at his back and murmured.

It seemed to be coming for He Yan.

....

The lights in the room were lit again.

Xiao Jue changed his clothes and sat down at the table. He watched the training recruits in the martial arts field during the day, and at night he also saw the military books sent by the capital.

Lin Shuanghe sat aside, looked at him, went out soon after, and came in quickly, holding a plate of dried fruit in his hand, and quietly put it on Xiao Jue's table.

Xiao Jue glanced at him.

"I happened to have made some in the kitchen here today. Since you like to eat, eat more."

Xiao Jue frowned: "What is this?"

"Plum!" Lin Shuanghe slapped his thigh and said seriously: "Don't you like to eat sour things? The freshly picked ones have not been pickled. It's so sour and sour."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Jue said, "Take it away."

Lin Shuanghe stood up straight, shook the fan and said, "I won't leave. Xiao Huaijin, Chu Zilan said so, can you still sit still? If you don't do anything, Sister He is kidnapped by Chu Zilan, it will take a moment later."

The young man replied indifferently: "It has nothing to do with me."

"You, sister He, have lived and died together in Jiyang City. There is no love and good deeds. You and I know who Chu Zilan is. Everyone is a man, and what he wants to do, a fool can see. Chu Zilan can't get rid of Xu Bingting, but she wants my sister He to care about him. You don't know, when I was in Jiyang before, Sister He loved Chu Zilan but couldn't do anything, and they told me that I would not plan to get married in this life. Tell me, how big a sin did this person have done?"

Xiao Jue lowered his eyes, his eyes moved slightly, but he did not stop Lin Shuanghe and continued to say.

"If you don't have the ability to marry someone, you have to tease him. I think this person is not good," Lin Shuanghe said: "My sister He is a little stupid, but she is good at being good, and she looks good. Except for her family background, she is not inferior to others. Such a good girl can't be delayed by Chu Zilan. Besides me, Liangzhou Guards can only compete with Chu Zilan. You can get back Sister He's thoughts and let's make a long-term plan."

Xiao Jue sneered: "Who do you think I am?"

"I know, this is wronged you." Lin Shuanghe patted his friend's shoulder, "But think about it, if Chu Zilan continues so unscrupulously, something will happen sooner or later. Do you dare to say that there is no one arranged by Xu Bingting around him, and as long as the news comes back, Sister He will be in big trouble. I can't stand by, and you can't. After all, you have played a fake couple. How can you be so ruthless when a couple is kind to a hundred days a day?"
