Chapter 825: Can't Bear to Blame

Xuanyuan Yao's expression was completely gone, he looked at him without saying a word, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Xie Jin's expression was cold, revealing a toughness that would not tolerate rejection.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Yao slowly frowned and looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Are you ordering me?"

"Xie Jin, please speak properly." Mo Ling'an subconsciously turned his head to look at the extinguished fire, and sighed softly, "How can you use an ordering tone to your sweetheart? You have to coax her well."

As he said, he muttered softly: "You are obviously concerned about Prince Yao, why are you so aggressive? It's a pity that you kept showing off how good Prince Yao was in front of me last night, why is he like this now? Sure enough, men's mouths are deceiving ghosts."

Xie Jin ignored him, locked his eyes on Xuanyuan Yao's face, and finally softened his voice: "Wait until the capital of Nanyue is taken, I will lie down and let you deal with me-"

"Shut up!" Xuanyuan Yao was slightly annoyed, "Xuanyuan Xie, do you have any shame?"

Xie Jin nodded meekly: "Shame."

Shame on you.

You dare to say anything in front of so many people, and you still have shame?

Xuanyuan Yao's eyes were slightly angry, but he didn't act willfully anymore: "You stay here and don't leave casually. I'll ask them to send some food and water when I go back."

Xie Jin said: "There are also bedding and pillows."

Mo Ling'an smiled and said: "I can share a quilt with Master Xie Jiu——"

"You're dreaming." Xie Jin glanced at him, "My bed is not for everyone. You don't even have the qualifications to wash Yaoyao's feet."

Mo Ling'an's face darkened: "Do you believe I will push you into this fire?"

"I don't believe it." Xie Jin said arrogantly, "With Yaoyao here, do you dare?"

Mo Ling'an was speechless: "..."

Xuanyuan Yao calmly glanced at someone's expression of showing off. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but his tone was cold: "This general has something else to do, so I'll leave first."

He then jumped on the horse, turned the horse's head, and rode away without looking back.

Xie Jin stared at his back reluctantly, muttering, "I really want to pick up Yaoyao and turn around to celebrate his merits."

Mo Ling'an was about to say something, but he saw Xuanyuan Yao suddenly riding back. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you so reluctant to leave?"

"Mo Ling'an, Xie Jin." Xuanyuan Yao sat upright on his horse and stopped far away, looking down at Xie Jin and Mo Ling'an, "You survived this disaster. After you go back, I will write down your names in the merit book of this general, including Mingyan and Mingmei, and wait for Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent to reward you according to your merits!"

Xie Jin smiled gently: "Okay, we will wait for the rewards."

Xuanyuan Yao rode away.

Xie Jin stared at his back until Xuanyuan Yao and the Eighteen Guards walked away and could no longer be seen. He then sat down by the fire again, hugged his knees, and said with a melancholy tone: "I finally got the opportunity to get together with Yaoyao by transporting grain, but now we have to be apart for a few days... When I think of this, I wish I could tear off the head of the dog emperor of Nanyue, soak it in a jar of pickled cabbage and pickle it into a salted pig head, and feed it to the dog with sauce."

Mo Ling'an's mouth twitched slightly: "I thought you wanted to eat it yourself with sauce."

"Do you have such a strong taste?" Xie Jin tilted his head and glanced at him, "If you want to eat it, I don't mind pickling it and giving it to you."

Mo Ling'an shook his head slowly: "I'm not interested in salting human brains."

Xie Jin and Mo Ling'an stayed in the suburbs, feeling the cold climate in late autumn, chatting and talking nonsense in the cold wind, enjoying themselves.

Xuanyuan Yao went back to clean up the mess. The soldiers he sent brought bedding and food to them at noon, and brought them a few sets of thick clothes and four pairs of shoes. With soft bedding and clothes to keep warm, and food and water, the days were not difficult to endure.

Xie Jin also did not let them get close, and just put down the bedding and clothes from a distance and left.

This kind of life lasted for three days in a row.

Every night Xuanyuan Yao couldn't help riding a horse to take a look. Even if he couldn't get close, he just took a look from a distance to make sure that Xie Jin and Mo Ling'an were safe and sound, and he was relieved.

Fortunately, Xie Jin and Mo Ling'an were warriors with strong physical fitness and were not afraid of the cold. Although they stayed in the cold wind for three days, it was definitely not as comfortable as staying indoors, but the three days passed safely.

It was another dark night, and the sky was full of stars.

Xie Jin, who had just finished eating a pheasant, lay on the ground covered with soft bedding, counting the stars one by one, with twinkling stars reflected in his pupils, and said in a lazy and leisurely voice: "Even the heavens are helping me, Dongling. Look how beautiful the night is tonight."

The fire in Fengshi City has been burning for two consecutive days. The flames that reach the sky have burned everything, even the corpses have turned into ashes. The sky is clear and there is not a drop of rain. It shows that even God does not like Nanyue.

"I have slept in the wilderness for three consecutive days. These difficult days are finally over." Mo Lingan sighed softly, "I am afraid that a fox demon will come in the middle of the night to confuse me and make me do something shameful."

Xie Jin was slightly surprised, and then sneered: "You wish."

Fox demon?

I have read too many stories from Liaozhai and dream all day long.

Da Da Da!

The sound of horse hooves galloped over.

"Your sweetheart is here again." Mo Ling'an spoke with a bit of helplessness, "I've had enough of you."

In addition to enduring the cold wind these past two days, what he couldn't stand the most was the ubiquitous clinginess between Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, which made him want to strip Xie Jin naked and send her to Xuanyuan Yao's bed.

"You're just envious." Xie Jin sat up and looked at the horse approaching from afar. When the face of the young man on the horse gradually came into view, Xie Jin's smile just rose, "I'm waiting for the day when you fall."

As he said, he raised his hand to greet: "Yaoyao!"

Mo Ling'an lay on his back on the ground, his arms across his forehead, just covering his closed eyes.

If possible, he wanted to plug his ears as well.

"How do you feel today?" Xuanyuan Yao sat on the horse's back, his eyes locked on Xie Jin's noble and delicate face, "No discomfort."

"The only discomfort is that I can't sleep with Yaoyao in my arms."

Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, and wanted him to be more subtle. There were people around, and it was not good to be too explicit. However, he was particularly considerate of Xie Jin's hard work of sleeping outdoors in the suburbs-of course, he himself was not at ease these two days. Burning Fengshi City was not as simple as setting the city on fire. There were many aftermath matters. Who could be much more relaxed?

But Xie Jin's hardship is not in sleeping in the open air, but in the psychological burden. Although he knows that the chance of contracting the disease under the protection of three layers of clothes is extremely small, he still can't help but worry about the one in ten thousand possibility.

So Xuanyuan Yao has been tolerant of Xie Jin's disgusting behavior in the past two days and can't bear to blame him.

"When can I go back?"

Xie Jin said: "Ming Yan knows a little about medicine. If he says it's okay, it should be okay."

Ming Yan said calmly: "Just in case, you can stay outside for a few more days."

The epidemic is not like other poisons or diseases. There is no antidote or treatment. There is no other way except to stay away from the source of infection.

Everyone in Quyang City is strong and elite. If someone is infected, it will spread from one to ten and from ten to a hundred. The consequences are unimaginable.

Leaving here and going to other places is not possible. If it is accidentally transmitted to innocent people, it will cause a large-scale epidemic infection. The safest way at the moment is to stay here and go nowhere.

"Stay a few more days?" Mo Ling'an took his hand away, frowning slightly, "I finally made it through three days, do you want to endure another three days?"
