Jiu Qing slowed down her steps and looked back at Xue Gu.
Xue Gu stared at his face. This face really didn't look fake.
However, there are so many disguise masters in the world, and the techniques of disguise are endless, and the masters have so many methods that you can’t even imagine.
Jiu'er only learned the basics at first, and then started practicing on her own. In the end, even she couldn't see the flaw in her disguise method.
The face of the man in front of me is darker than that of ordinary men, and there are several old scars on his face.
He looks very ugly, but when you look at him, you don't feel disgusted at all.
Even if you take another look at him, you will think that this man is quite good-looking.
Why can someone look better and better even though their face is full of scars?
Xue Gu narrowed her eyes, thinking in her mind.
Jiu Qing, however, had no patience anymore and turned around to leave.
Xue Gu still chased after him: "Xia Shi, I think Xia Shi's skills are really great, but I am ignorant and don't know who Xia Shi studied under?"
Jiu Qing ignored it and walked straight into the hall.
Long Shiyi arranged a room for him to stay in, but he didn't seem to have much respect for him. They got along with him just like partners.
They are all brought by Mu Mu, and this is how they should get along.
However, Xue Gu still felt that Jiu Qing was really not a simple person.
His aura always makes people feel different from people like Long Shiyi and Long Yi.
But his breath tightened, and Xuegu couldn't tell what was different.
"What?" Mu Mu came up behind her and looked at the direction Jiu Qing left with complicated eyes.
"Mu Mu, is this man really one of your subordinates?" Xue Gu looked back at him with a confused look on her face.
"Of course not." Mu Mu had said before that he was a friend in the martial arts world. He said, "I invited him back. He has a withdrawn temperament. Although he is not easy to get along with, his martial arts skills are extremely high."
There is nothing wrong with this statement. If his martial arts skills were not high, he would not invite him back.
"Don't worry, Gu Xue. Although he is not under my command, he is a very honest person. Since he promised to protect Jiu'er, he will definitely do it."
Isn't it Jiu Qing who rescued Jiu'er this time?
Although he injured his foot, it didn't look too serious, and to Jiu Qing, it wasn't considered a breach of duty.
Xue Gu was still full of doubts: "Why is a person with such great martial arts skills never heard of his name in the world?"
"Xue Gu has stayed on Snow Lotus Mountain for too long. Ten years is enough to change the world several times. What's more, not everyone wants to be famous. This friend of mine likes to keep a low profile."
Xue Gu wanted to say something else, but Mu Mu was the first to say, "I know Xue Gu is just worried about Jiu'er and the people around Jiu'er who have different intentions, but I can guarantee that Jiu Qing will never do it."
Seeing Qiao Mu helping Jiu'er back to the room, Mu Mu said, "I'll go over and see Jiu'er first."
"Let's go together." Xue Gu also calmed down her thoughts and walked into Feng Jiu'er's room with him.
The room was very simple and was temporarily rented by brothers Qiao Mu and Tianjitang.
They took the official road and had already arrived at this village yesterday, but they didn't know what happened to Feng Jiuer and the others in the wild forest, and they didn't arrive until now.
However, Qiao Mu is fairly familiar with this area.
"You have met the Senmu people, haven't you?"
"What is Senmuren?" Jiuer looked at her.
"They are a group of bandits entrenched in the nearby mountains and forests. They have lived here for hundreds of years, but in fact, because no one passes by this road on weekdays, they have not been bandits for many years."
She was also a bandit, and she knew something about bandits in several mountains near the imperial city.
"I'm afraid I accidentally saw you passing by this time and wanted to grab something from you."
Xue Gu knelt down, took out the ointment and kneaded Jiu'er's ankle. She said, "Your horse went crazy. Was it Jiu Qing who saved you?"
"Yes, thanks to him."
"You have been with him these past two days. Has he... bullied you?"
In fact, Xue Gu didn't know what she wanted to ask. She was really not used to talking in a roundabout way.
Who is Jiu Qing? Is it possible that he is disguised as Prince Jiu?
Although she thinks the possibility is really low, who in this world is really willing to abandon his country for a woman?
In front of him, the Ninth Prince holds half of the troops of Beimu Kingdom, and half of Beimu Kingdom's country is already in his hands.
If he leaves at this time, he naturally knows what the consequences will be.
Once it was discovered that the Ninth Prince was not in Beimu Kingdom, there would be many people trying to capture his city.
Xue Gu is actually very conflicted. On the one hand, she hopes that Zhan Qingcheng can really do what others can't and can truly devote herself to Jiu'er.
On the other hand, I don’t want to... lead to more terrible consequences...
"Xue Gu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so weird?" Jiu'er looked down at her and waved his hand in front of her.
"How could Jiuqing bully me? He is very good to me and has always tried his best to protect me. This time, I really owe him this kindness."
Xue Gu nodded and quickly collected her thoughts.
Jiu'er still tilted his head and looked at her. He always felt that Xue Gu's behavior in the past few days was really weird. Why did she seem to have so many unspeakable secrets?
"Xue Gu, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Why am I uncomfortable? I'm fine." Xue Gu lowered her head, not wanting to make any eye contact with her, and continued to massage her ankle with ointment without saying anything else.
Mu Mu withdrew his eyes from Xue Gu. He looked at Jiu'er and said, "Since you are fine, we will set off early tomorrow morning. I have already asked people to prepare food again. There should be no problems on the road."
"Okay." Jiu'er nodded. When he heard the word "food", his stomach suddenly growled.
"Well, can you give me a bowl of noodles now? I haven't touched any staple food in two days."
"Any kind of miscellaneous sauce noodles, meat sauce noodles, beef noodles or egg noodles will be fine. If not, just give me a bowl of white rice and a small plate of pickles."
After eating wild fruits for the past two days, my poor stomach really couldn't bear it. Now my stomach is overflowing with acid and I'm in a lot of pain.
"By the way, prepare some for Jiu Qing. You should prepare more. He is so tall and must have a big appetite."
"It seems that Jiu Qing and I have really become friends in the past two days." Qiao Mu said with a smile.
Jiuer has a wide range of friends. With her good character, everyone is willing to get along with her.
No, even the cold Jiu Qing was conquered by her, and he was willing to carry her on his back all the way.
If it were him, Jiu Qing would probably drag her all the way back.
Oops, why do I feel so pitiful the more I think about it?
This Jiu Qing's character is similar to that of a certain prince!
