The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 111 The Complicated Duanmuling
Seeing him staring down at her eyes, Bai Jiujiu suddenly realized that she was doing something stupid again, and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"No...it's nothing, I got a grain of sand in my eyes, and I'm very uncomfortable."

"Oh." Duanmu Ling withdrew his gaze, and glanced at the two maids who were giggling beside him.Then leave.

While rubbing her eyes, Bai Jiujiu watched him walk away silently, anxious in her heart, but couldn't hold him back.I had to say loudly: "I'm hungry, I want to have breakfast."

Sure enough, Duanmuling stopped and turned around. He was stunned for a second before saying, "I'll let the kitchen deliver it to you."

Yuanhua pursed her lips, and said boldly: "But the old master ordered the slaves to take Miss Bai to the hall for dinner."

Duanmuling took a deep breath and nodded, "Then let's go."

Before Bai Jiujiu understood, Yuanhua and Yuanyue's two servant girls each took her left and right arms, and trotted towards Duanmuling.

But no matter how hard they pursued, Duanmu Ling kept a distance of three steps away from them.

Bai Jiujiu only heard a soft sentence "Miss Bai, I've offended you." She felt her arm hurt and her right hand was squeezed hard.Suddenly, she uttered "Ouch" in pain.

Duanmu Ling heard the call and turned around again.But before he could open his mouth, Yuanhua hurriedly spoke with concern.

"Miss Bai, what's the matter, did you twist your foot?"

Bai Jiujiu immediately understood, and pretended to be sad and shook her head: "No, it's just that I accidentally stepped on a small rock and hurt my feet."

"It must be girl, you are not used to walking so fast." Yuanyue said pitifully.Then he pleaded with Duanmu Ling: "General, Miss Bai is no more servant than us."

If they were to change to other masters, I'm afraid they would have taught these two unruly maids a lesson, but after Duanmu Ling glared at them, he saw that they bowed their heads in fear and stopped making trouble, so he didn't pursue it any further. .

The grim expression eased, and just as she was about to walk in front of the three of them to speak, suddenly Yuan Hua took a step back, bowed and said, "My servant suddenly remembered that there is still something to do, so I will leave first."

"Ah, as soon as Sister Yuanhua reminded me, the maidservant also realized that there is still something to be done. The maidservant also said goodbye first!"

The two servant girls, Yuanhua and Yuanyue, seemed to be fleeing from the flames of war, and they fled away without waiting for their general and master's permission.

Bai Jiujiu was shocked.Originally, he always thought that he was presumptuous and bold enough, so he would talk to Xia Jinchai in a convulsion if he had nothing to do.Only when I saw these two today did I realize that I was still young...

Is it because the master is different?Ah, if it's true, it really means that Duanmu Ling is a person who is easy to talk to and easy to get along with!

It is really rare for a god of war as cold as a mountain to transform into such an amiable general!

Bai Jiujiu was having fun, when her shoulders suddenly sank, and a big hand was put on her.

"Let's go." Duanmu Ling's voice was full of complexities.

Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In the hall, there were obviously only three people dining, but there was a large table of dim sum, which was even more luxurious than that of Prince Chai's Mansion.Bai Jiujiu couldn't help being dumbfounded, thinking that these two men would really enjoy it.This is usually enough to feed myself for several days.

"Jiujiu, come, come, sit there, sit there!" Duanmu Jianjiang greeted enthusiastically, determined to have Jiujiu sit beside Duanmuling.

Bai Jiujiu was naturally so happy, but Duanmuling froze there and wanted to leave.

Seeing Jiang meeting, Duanmu suddenly pulled his old face and stopped: "Ling'er, why are you standing there stupidly? Sit down soon!"

The three of them shared a table, and Duanmu Jianjiang kept chatting with Bai Jiujiu. Bai Jiujiu was used to dealing with his master, and now he was able to chat with Duanmu Jianjiang, who was also an elder, with ease, amused him from time to time.Only Duanmuling felt uncomfortable on pins and needles.

It's not that he hates the woman beside him so much, on the contrary, he is afraid of this feeling which is completely different from hate.Especially when he thinks about grandpa's arrangement for her, he is always worried that it will be nothing in the end.

Empty, understand?That is defeat!And he, Duanmu Ling, has never been defeated since he was a child, and he will never allow defeat.

He really wanted to avoid this war, but he couldn't bear to send her back to Prince Chai's mansion like this, which is a place full of dangers for her now.

Rice is so tasteless; she is so pleasing.Grandpa smiled happily, and even the servants in the row beside him heaved a sigh of relief.What should I do?

Duanmuling returned to the study, facing the marching formation map on the table, but Bai Jiujiu was full of thoughts.From the first meeting to the goodbye in Chunyuelou.From the meeting in Chai Wang's mansion, to the reunion on the street again and again.

Obviously she is not the woman I have met the most times, but why is it that she is the only one who makes me willing to meddle in this capital city time and time again.He even did not hesitate to deal with Xia Jinchai.

Xia Jinchai...that prince who has changed a lot in the past two years.Originally, I didn't have much impression of him, but he was a gentle and elegant prince.To me, it's just a casual acquaintance in the court.But since he lost his parents, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. Not only did he become ruthless, he even dared to speak insultingly to the emperor.

The most puzzling thing is that the prince who has become supercilious always observes himself on occasions he attends, approaches him under various names, toasts again and again, and finds him without words again and again. talk.

Just when he thought that he was intending to win him over and seize the throne, but because of the appearance of Bai Jiujiu, he showed no other intentions to win him except for a little politeness.

It's okay for him to break the rules and bring Bai Jiujiu into the palace for a banquet, but he personally rescued her and redeemed her from Chunyue Tower.Let me ask, since he has been a prince for more than 20 years, when did he treat anyone so well?
If he wanted to keep Bai Jiujiu by his side, he probably would have come to ask for it back without asking him.

It hurts my head when I think of Bai Jiujiu's relationship with Xia Jinchai, which is not like a servant or a friend.

"Beep beep beep", a knock on the door sounded rhythmically.

"What's the matter?" According to the usual practice, no one knocks on the door when there is no urgent matter in the study.So Xia Jinchai immediately put his emotions in order and hurriedly asked.

Unexpectedly, it was a pretty voice.

"General Duanmu, it's me, Bai Jiujiu."

Xia Jinchai was overjoyed at first, but then fell into a gloomy mood as if falling into hell.

"Anything urgent?"

"Uh..." Do you have to find him in an emergency?This is not a military camp, why is it so serious.

When Bai Jiujiu remembered the support of the old man Duanmu Jianjiang behind him, he became more courageous.
