After Jiujiu finished speaking, she glanced at Green Willow Heights before asking Ling Xiao, "General, are you still willing to send me back?"
Ling Xiao glanced at Jiujiu.
After dismounting from the horse, Jiujiu's complexion had already returned to its usual fair complexion. At this moment, she was looking at him expectantly, just like the little dog he raised when he was bored at the border.
It looked as if it wanted to eat a bone.
Ling Xiao wasn't someone who would force others to do something they didn't want to do. The only reason he looked for Jiujiu was because Jiujiu looked extremely beautiful in women's clothing. He had enough evidence to convince His Majesty and make His Majesty believe that he rejected other people because he really liked Jiujiu.
Since Jiujiu wasn't willing, then forget it.
But …
"Since you're already here, come in and have a meal before you leave."
Ling Xiao pushed open the door to the courtyard and walked in.
Jiujiu wanted to leave, but Ling Xiao's horse had already followed Ling Xiao into the courtyard.
She didn't have a horse, so if she relied on her two legs, it would probably take her half a day to walk.
In any case, Ling Xiao's character wasn't bad, so he wouldn't do anything to her. Jiujiu followed Ling Xiao in.
The moment she entered the room, the first thing she saw was a row of weapons placed on both sides of the room.
There were sabers, spears, rods, and all sorts of weapons. There were even two stone blocks that looked like millstones. She didn't know what they were used for.
When he saw Jiujiu staring at the two stone blocks, Ling Xiao took the initiative to explain, "These are for arm strength."
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he raised one stone block in each hand.
The stone blocks were extremely large, each one weighing at least 50 kilograms. Just like that, Ling Xiao easily lifted them up.
The muscles on Ling Xiao's arms instantly swelled beautifully with his movements.
Ling Xiao quickly put down the stone blocks he raised.
Seeing Ling Xiao put down the stone blocks so casually, Jiujiu couldn't help but praise, "Good arm strength."
Many people could lift up a stone stool that weighed over 50 kilograms and sit on it. However, it was extremely rare for someone to be able to lift it up and put it down as easily as Ling Xiao.
The corners of Ling Xiao's lips curled up in a way that Jiujiu couldn't see, and he continued walking forward.
The courtyard wasn't like the other courtyards where flowers and plants were planted everywhere. Inside, other than sabers, spears, staffs, and a martial arts training ground, there were only green trees. There wasn't even a single flower. It was monotonous and dull.
This place was indeed very compatible with Ling Xiao.
Jiujiu watched Ling Xiao walk forward, and for the first time, she began to worry about what she was going to eat.
How could a meal brought by someone like Ling Xiao taste good?
Jiujiu's worries were not unfounded.
When she saw the heavy meat in front of her, Jiujiu, who was not drunk at all, felt her stomach churn and she felt like vomiting.
Seeing Ling Xiao eat big mouthfuls of meat, Jiujiu said with a look of disdain, "General."
Hearing Jiujiu's voice, Ling Xiao's back stiffened. Only then did he realize that he wasn't eating alone in his own home. He was eating outside with Jiujiu.
Thinking about how he ate like a bandit, Ling Xiao wished he could turn back time and start all over again.
Ling Xiao subconsciously slowed down the rate at which he was stuffing food into his mouth and swallowed the food in his mouth. When he looked up, he saw that Jiujiu's bowl was empty. "Is it not to your liking?
I'll have them remake it. "
"No need to trouble yourself," Jiujiu stopped Ling Xiao. "I drank just now, so I'm not that hungry. General, you can eat."
Although Jiujiu said that, Ling Xiao remembered Jiujiu's exquisite appearance. How could Ling Xiao not know that Jiujiu was not hungry? She was clearly disdainful.
Ling Xiao put down his chopsticks. "The people here are all from the military camp. They can't cook exquisite food. You can eat as much as you want so that you won't starve when you get back."
Jiujiu suppressed the discomfort in her heart. "It's okay. I'm not hungry. General, you don't have to eat."
Ling Xiao picked up his chopsticks again and sighed softly. "Miss Lin, you may not know this, but when we come from the military camp, we can't even drink water, let alone eat.
We're already satisfied if we can fill our stomachs. I know that his food must not be to Miss Lin's liking. Since Miss Lin doesn't want to eat, then don't eat. "
Ling Xiao picked up his chopsticks and continued stuffing food into his mouth. This time, his movements were much better than before.
Jiujiu knew that Ling Xiao had seen through her disdain, but she still had no intention of eating.
After Ling Xiao finished his meal, Jiujiu looked at him and said, "General, I don't mean to dislike it. I'm just not used to it."
Jiujiu looked at Ling Xiao. Her eyes were like a clear spring, filled with sincerity. "It's just as General said. I've been spoiled by my parents since I was young. I've never suffered a single bit. The food I've eaten is all delicately prepared by the local chefs. The worst food I've eaten was the one I ate on the way to the capital.
That time, because we miscalculated the distance, we didn't manage to reach the next place to stay. We found a temporary place to stay on the way. That was the food the chefs made with the game that Butler Li found.
Although there were all sorts of seasonings, because they couldn't control the heat, the taste was much worse than usual. That was the worst food I've ever eaten in my life. "
Jiujiu said calmly, "General, you've been here since you were young. You're used to the food in the military camp, so you don't think that there's anything wrong with it. Because you're used to it, you know what this food means.
But I'm not. I grew up in Jiangnan. I've eaten delicately prepared food by famous chefs. I'm used to being served and pampered. So, even if I know what this food means, my body still can't accept it. "
Jiujiu looked at Ling Xiao. "I don't mean to dislike it. I'm just not used to it."
Ling Xiao, who had been upset because Jiujiu didn't eat the food in front of her, suddenly felt relieved after hearing Jiujiu's explanation.
Yes, in his heart, he thought that this was the hard work of the soldiers. However, Jiujiu hadn't experienced that kind of pain since she was young. She didn't understand and wasn't used to it. It was human nature. He was the one who was obsessed.
Jiujiu took the initiative to reach out and hold Ling Xiao's hand.
Ling Xiao's hand was very big, like a cattail leaf fan. Because of the long sword and spear, Ling Xiao's palm was covered in thick calluses, like a layer of sandpaper. Jiujiu's palm was soft and delicate. Even though it was just a simple touch, Ling Xiao's calluses made her feel uncomfortable.
The moment Jiujiu's hand touched Ling Xiao's palm, Ling Xiao felt as if his heart was being gently caressed by a soft hand. From his heart to his limbs, it was so numb that he wanted to moan.
Ling Xiao lowered his head to look at Jiujiu's hand.
It was small, soft, and very nice to touch.
At this moment, it was obediently placed in his palm.
Ling Xiao paused and calmed his mind. He looked at Jiujiu and asked curiously, "Miss, what do you mean?"
"I'm willing to help you, General. But tell me, what do you want me to do?"
