Rebirth of marriage

Xie Jiu sat aside and watched Gu Xiao wash the lamb chops, marinate them, skewer them on the iron rack, and then light the fire.

His movements were very skillful, as if he had done them thousands of times.

He also washed some rice in a crock pot, simmered it slowly on the fire, and shredded the remaining half of the cooked chicken breast from the morning.

He did it very meticulously, but he didn't look effeminate at all, and there was no sense of disobedience. He was still so charming.

Xie Jiu thought that after taking revenge in the future, if Gu Xiao didn't want to be involved with the royal family, maybe they could find a place to live in seclusion, or go to the prosperous and peaceful Dongsheng Kingdom that the master mentioned.

Buy a small yard, a family of three, and live a plain and down-to-earth life with three meals a day and four seasons.

"Jiu'er, don't stare at men like this." Gu Xiao suddenly turned his head and kissed her on the lips, saying in a low voice, "It's easy to arouse a man's instinct."

Xie Jiu lowered her eyes, feeling that she had inspired Gu Xiao's unknown side.

He has changed a lot, or maybe he had this temperament originally, but no one close to him gave him the opportunity to show it.

"I only stare at my man." Xie Jiu praised him without hesitation, "Ah Xiao is so good-looking."

"Silly Jiu'er, men can't say they are good-looking." Gu Xiao chatted with her while stirring the porridge in the earthen pot, "No matter how beautiful I say it, it's not as good-looking as my Jiu'er."

Xie Jiu smiled and rolled his eyes.

She really wanted to taste the honey in his mouth, it was so sweet, but she was unable to provoke a man who might push her down on the bed and eat her clean at any time.

Gu Xiao sliced ​​off a piece of meat with a dagger, blew on it and handed it to her, "Eat some meat first, and drink some porridge later to relieve the tiredness."

With such meticulousness and thoughtfulness, Xie Jiu thought, he must be a good father and would take good care of their children.

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, they basked in the sun in the yard. In fact, it was colder when the sun melted the snow than on snowy days, but they hadn't seen the sun for more than a month, and Xie Jiu was very greedy for the feeling of the warm sunshine shining on his face.

Gu Xiao hugged her from behind, feeling a rare peace of mind.

In the evening, the secret guard brought two servants over. They had a sumptuous dinner and two cups of soup. After thanking the wine and looking at the contents of the soup cup, they drank it with their ears warm.

Because she had bathed during the day, she simply washed up at night and then lay on the bed. She was telling Gu Xiao with her actions that she just wanted to sleep simply at night.

Gu Xiao smiled lowly and coaxed her, "I won't touch you tonight, so sleep peacefully."

He did keep his promise and just hugged her to sleep at night, but at dawn, he turned over and wanted her again.

This time it was unusually gentle. Xie Jiu didn't feel tired, but felt a different kind of joy.

After breakfast, Gu Xiao held her hand and walked out of the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, Mo Limoqi was waiting there with a carriage.

Xie Jiu glanced at Mo Qi and said with a smile, "I heard that your fiancée was infected with the cold epidemic. How is she feeling now?"

Mo Qi hurriedly held up his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, girl. It's okay now."

Xie Jiu nodded and got on the carriage.

The carriage drove for two hours and stopped at the foot of a mountain. Gu Xiao got out of the carriage first, led her out of the carriage and said, "If we take the main road, it will take tomorrow to get there. Let's cross over from the mountain to get closer. "

Xie Jiu got off the carriage and saw Mo Qi and Mo Li taking out several sleds from under the carriage. Mo Qi said, "The snow in the mountains is thick and won't melt for a while. The secret guards have already explored the road first and used the sleds to compare the light." It saves effort to use Qinggong.”

This sled was something they learned last time at Meishan. It is said that Xie Jiu made it and it is very easy to use.

But they didn't prepare a sled to thank them. After Gu Xiao put on his clothes, he spontaneously held the person in his arms and followed the secret guard leading the way to the mountains.

His qinggonggong was so good that he could glide smoothly without needing two poles, and his free hand could just hold Xie Jiu.

Xie's dimples were in his arms, and the corners of his mouth were raised. Perhaps in his heart, he was a complete lazy woman.

Gu Xiao lowered his head and glanced at the weak and lazy woman in his arms. When he saw her eyes shining towards him and her smile lazy and charming, he restrained the urge to kiss her and said softly, "You need some time. Squint first."

He pressed the edge of the wind cloak with both hands and completely wrapped Xie Jiu in the wind cloak.

Xie Jiu hugged him smoothly, pressed her face against his heart, closed her eyes and listened to his powerful heartbeat, full of fresh power.

very nice.

The man's arms were strong and strong, and his embrace was too warm. Gradually, Xie Jiu became sleepy. She tried to struggle for a while before closing her eyelids, and said, "Your hands will get sore if you hold her for a long time. I can lie on your back."

"Well, I'll tell you later when I feel sore." Gu Xiao responded to her, but he had no such intention in his heart. It would be better to wrap his arms with a wind cloak to keep it warm.

When Xie Jiu opened his eyes again, they had already arrived.

Cao Shoufu and his party had just come out of the cave where they had been hiding for more than a month.

"Mo Qi, pinch me. Is that Cao Chief Fu?" Mo Li's eyes widened.

Although Cao Shoufu is nearly fifty years old, he is well-maintained. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is in his thirties. In the past, when he appeared in front of them, he would always hold his head high and his chest high like a proud rooster.

But Cao Shoufu in front of him had a stooped figure, and most of his black hair was white and disheveled. He seemed to have difficulty walking. He was supported by two guards, and he was trembling like an old man in his twilight years.

It's miserable, but it's so enjoyable to watch.

Mo Qi didn't pinch him, but replied in a cold voice, "It's him."

He stared at Cao Shoufu fiercely, watching him being helped into the carriage by two guards.

The carriage was the one they came from. It had been covered in heavy snow for more than a month. Although the guards had cleared away the snow, the entire carriage was wet and there were no horses.

The horses had been eaten when they were trapped. Four guards stood in front of the carriage, and they planned to let the guards pull the carriage out.

Xie Jiu remembered that when they set out, there were nearly a hundred guards, but now there were less than ten, and all of them were skin and bones.

However, Cao Chengwang didn't see much weight loss. He was lying on the back of a guard, still cursing.

"After the mountain was closed, Cao Shoufu sent guards out to report the news. Of the thirty people, 29 died in the snow. Only one managed to get out of the mountain and was intercepted by my people. The others should have been looking for food for them in the mountain. I lost my life." Gu Xiao slowly explained, with little sadness or joy in his voice.

Mo Qiqu said, "Master, can I kill those guards? Those people didn't show mercy to us in the past."

With those guards around, the Cao family and his son couldn't really suffer. When he saw that Cao Chengwang was still dominating the guards, he wanted to kill them immediately.

But can't.

It was the Cao family that made Cao Shoufu successful, not Cao Shoufu who made the Cao family famous.

As long as the behemoth Cao family does not fall, even if they kill the chief minister Cao now, another chief minister Cao will stand in the court tomorrow.

And the master will be accused of indiscriminately killing important officials of the court.

"Master, let me and Mo Qi kill those guards." Mo Li agreed. Without the guards, the Cao family and his son could only walk out of the mountain on their legs.

Gu Xiao frowned slightly, Mo Qi was particularly violent today.

He glanced at him lightly, then broke off a dead branch and threw it out, hitting Cao Chengwang's dizzy point. None of the Cao family's guards were innocent, and he had no intention of keeping them.

Qie Xie Jiu pursed her lips all the time, obviously she was not satisfied with the current situation of the Cao family and his son.

This was the first time she had taken action for him, and he wanted the results to be more ideal.

A fight is imminent.

Before Cao Shoufu, who fell out of the carriage, had time to look up, the embroidery needle on Xie Jiu's fingertips shot out and stung him.

His confidant Ah San hurriedly looked in the direction from which the hidden weapon came. When he saw Xie Jiu who was slowly approaching, Ah San's pupils suddenly tightened.
