038 Journey south along the Yangtze River (4)

The low and gentle voice seemed to be bewitching, hitting the heart and disturbing the mind.

Although Ye Jiaoxi has never experienced love, she has been in the world for many years and has seen and heard a lot. She has seen a lot of people with cold nature and those who play with flowers. However, this time, it is different from the past.

.If she could laugh and tease him about how many women he had deceived with this trick before, now she is no longer as teasing as before when it comes to Ruma's thoughts.

Seeing that she had no reaction, Mu Ziling tightened his arms slightly, smiled softly, and said, "If you don't speak anymore, I will just assume that you want me to hold you like this all the time."

Ye Jiaoxi then said in a low voice: "But sincerely?"

Mu Ziling stretched out his hand to lift her chin, lifted her buried head, looked into her eyes and said: "Heaven and earth can be used as a guide." The deep black eyes were like bottomless whirlpools, but the gentleness revealed could

Bewitch people.

Ye Jiaoxi was a little at a loss. She wanted to lower her head but couldn't. She accidentally caught a glimpse of the glint in Mu Ziling's eyes and the triumphant smile. She suddenly felt like she was capsized in the gutter. She thought that she had been wandering around in the world for many years, but she couldn't be confessed by a man.

At a loss? She cleared her throat pretending to be calm and said, "Then tell me, what do you like about me?"

Mu Ziling looked at her obviously at a loss but pretending to be calm, and laughed and said: "I guess I like everything about you, just like how you pretend to be calm now when you want to escape but can't."

Ye Jiaoxi choked and stared at him speechless.

That night, Ye Jiaoxi went back to her room in despair, leaning against the window and staring at the night in a daze for a long time. The night was so beautiful that night, with the moonlight shining brightly and the stars dotting it, that she couldn't help but laugh when she looked at it.

After all, he is used to being casual and doesn't think deeply about what will happen in the future. He only knows that he likes it and she is moved by it.

That night, Mu Ziling was also looking at the night with a smile on his face. Thinking of the way Ye Jiaoxi ran away shyly in the end made him laugh. It was really hard to see her like this, and he couldn't help but feel that this cruel trick was very cruel.

It was worth it. He suddenly felt that if the palace really had such a mistress, it would probably be a lot more interesting, right? Maybe this is just a show of love.

Early the next morning, Mu Ziling took Ye Jiaoxi to visit Bibo Lake.

Bibo Lake is located outside Pingjiang City. The lake is long and the blue waves are rippling. A cruise ship is sailing in the middle of the lake. It has carved railings and painted buildings. There are many maids and attendants on the cruise ship. At a glance, you can tell that it is a trip of high officials and nobles. It is extremely luxurious.

Ye Jiaoxi leaned on the railing and looked at the lake, and said to Mu Ziling beside her: "I don't like this kind of lake tour."

"Then what do you like?"

Ye Jiaoxi smiled cutely, pointed to the small boat not far away and said: "If you want to swim in the lake, you have to take a boat like that. It's fun to float in a light boat."

The breeze blew and her black hair was dazzled. Mu Ziling stretched out her hand to knock her down. Then, her fingertips touched her skin, and there was a warm touch. But she heard him say: "Okay, I will take you there now." With a doting smile,

It seems like it can overflow with water.

After summoning the boat, Mu Ziling handed the boatman some silver and jumped in with Ye Jiaoxi, but Ye Jiaoxi said, "Don't you know how to row a boat?"

"Of course it will."

"Then why do we need a boatman?"

Mu Ziling choked, smiled helplessly, left the boatman on the cruise ship, took the oar and sat on the bow of the boat and started rowing, saying: "Do you like to be alone with me so much?"

Ye Jiaoxi hummed softly, "I just want you to do some physical work." After saying that, he sat down next to Mu Ziling, holding his chin and looking at the lake and mountains.

The breeze is rippling, the green willows are swaying, the grass and trees are spreading, the minnows are coming out of the water, and the white gulls are flying. The lake is green and ethereal, like smart eyes, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and white gulls in it.

Mu Ziling said: "Isn't it beautiful?"

Ye Jiaoxi nodded, "It's very beautiful, but you don't have to be too proud. I've been to this place a long time ago."

"Oh? I thought you stayed away from water and wouldn't go to the lake to play."

"How is that possible? I'm just afraid of falling into the water, but do you think I will fall into the water?"

Mu Ziling smiled and nodded, "That's true, your Qing Gong is indeed amazing."

"It's good to know." Ye Jiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled. After thinking about it, she suddenly turned her head and looked at him and said, "Have you been checking my origins?"

Mu Ziling was startled, but then he smiled and said: "I was investigating a few days ago, but I didn't find anything. But now I don't care about your origins. I also recognize the details of the enemy country."

Ye Jiaoxi chuckled and said, "You keep saying nice things, but I don't believe it. I saw that you and Yan Sang were talking about me last night. Do you want to find out the way out of my Kung Fu?"

"You are overthinking. Yesterday Yan Sang was reporting to me about the man in black."

Ye Jiaoxi suddenly dodged the pulp in Mu Ziling's hand and put it aside, pulled him over and said, "Look into my eyes and ask, are you hiding something from me?"

Mu Ziling saw that she was getting serious and said seriously: "There should be a lot of things you don't know, about the court and the palace. What do you want to know?"

Ye Jiaoxi thought for a while and said: "He is from the Jianghu."

"Jianghu? I have nothing to do with Jianghu."

"Really? Then why did Brother Liu come to the palace?"

Mu Ziling said: "Yan Ning was accidentally injured by Li Sanchi when he went out to do things. The Wuying Sect didn't want to offend the palace, so they asked Mr. Liu to come for treatment. That's it."

Ye Jiaoxi asked again: "What is Yan Ning going to do? As far as I know, Sanchi will not hurt anyone for no reason."

After Mu Ziling hesitated for a while, Fang said: "Okay, I'll do it. He's here to check your origins, but I don't know why Li Sanchi hurt him. Maybe he accidentally got into trouble."

Ye Jiaoxi was startled and said softly. After a moment, he said: "I'm really just a charlatan..."

Mu Ziling hugged her and said: "Yes, Jianghu people, I have never said that I don't believe it. What you said is right. There are many Jianghu people who can't find out their background."

Ye Jiaoxi said: "I have a background! My ancestral home is Lanfeng. When I was five years old, there was a flood. My parents and I were separated. Later, I was taken in by my master. From then on, I followed my master all over the world. My kung fu was taught to me by my master.

, No, there is also a master’s lover, Aunt Lan.”

Mu Ziling was secretly startled, but her face remained the same, she just smiled and said, "Aunt Lan? Not the master's wife?"

Ye Jiaoxi shook her head, "No, Master seems to want to marry me, but Aunt Lan refuses to marry me."

"Isn't there another senior brother?"

"No, actually I have two senior brothers. The four of us used to be together, and of course sometimes there were five. Aunt Lan only came to see us every other day. But then we grew up and went our separate ways. Now

I don’t even know their whereabouts, but I will definitely let you meet them if you have the chance."

"Okay, but what if your master doesn't like me?"

Ye Jiaoxi chuckled, "Then just please him!"

"Then what does he like?"

Ye Jiaoxi turned her head and thought for a while, then said: "Well... good wine, preferably ten-year-old peach blossom wine, the rest... seems to be nothing."

Mu Ziling also smiled and said: "It seems that your master is also a casual person."

"Of course!"

Mu Ziling stopped paddling, and the boat was floating in the wind in the middle of the lake. Ye Jiaoxi took off her shoes, turned around and sat on the edge of the boat, put her jade feet into the water and started playing with them.

Mu Ziling chuckled and said, "You, the princess, really have no image at all!"

"Then just drive me away."

Mu Ziling also turned around, sat cross-legged on the edge of the boat, held her in his arms and said, "You're just talking nonsense, you know I can't let you go."

Ye Jiaoxi smiled sweetly, and suddenly raised her foot to stir up water and splashed it towards Mu Ziling. Mu Ziling quickly dodged and said with a smile: "Okay, you dare to sneak attack me!" He said that he was going to push her into the lake.

Ye Jiaoxi exclaimed, hurriedly clenched Mu Ziling's clothes, and shouted: "Ah - Mu Ziling, you are looking for death!"

Mu Ziling laughed loudly, looking at her frightened and angry look, he couldn't help but feel happy. He suddenly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and sealed her red lips.

Ye Jiaoxi was slightly startled and slowly closed her eyes after a moment.

As the sun sets to the west, the silhouettes of the two men are lengthened, and they are slightly rippled by the blue waves in the center of the lake.
