Chapter 451 The scenery is breathtaking!
"Yes, I do have that idea. We'll discuss the specifics when he arrives. He could be the head of our government-run escort agency, or he could recruit some retired soldiers to set up his own agency."
Liu Yi stroked his beard. "The escort agencies established by soldiers are all very loyal and righteous. The cohesion among the members of such escort agencies is based on loyalty. They risk their lives together on the battlefield, and naturally they share weal and woe on the escort route. They are very united. Such escort teams are not bad."
"Escorts also have their own rules. Some things can't be accomplished just by thinking about them ourselves. It's always better to find some knowledgeable people to guide us."
Liu Yi couldn't be of much help in this regard; being a scholar, he naturally didn't know any figures in the martial arts world.
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled a few times before saying, "I'm afraid this won't be difficult for you, will it?"
Duanmu Chuze felt slightly embarrassed, knowing that she was implying that he had many capable people around him, and that mere bodyguards or figures in the martial arts world were no match for them. However, given Mu Xinnuan's expression as she spoke, Duanmu Chuze felt that she was clearly doing it on purpose!
This little girl seems to hold a grudge.
"Zi Yi, you tell us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yi appeared out of nowhere and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
After saying that, Zi turned around and stood to the side, "Every profession has its own rules, and the bodyguards are no exception."
"Generally speaking, a bodyguard must uphold loyalty, righteousness, and courtesy. Only in this way can he travel safely to all corners of the world. As a bodyguard, there are also six prohibitions, which are essential principles that every bodyguard must know."
Mu Xin Nuan, on the other hand, perked up and listened attentively, craning her neck.
Duanmu Chuze seemed dissatisfied with her actions, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering, "Just listen. He's not as good-looking as me, you might as well just look at me."
That's way too jealous!
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled, her face slightly flushed.
While Zi Yi was talking, Mu Xin Nuan's mind was preoccupied with Duanmu Chu Ze, and she didn't listen to a single word he said.
After Zi Yi finished speaking, Mu Xin Nuan asked curiously, "After listening to so much from what you've said, was the journey of a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) both arduous and dangerous?"
Zi Yi's expression naturally became more respectful towards the mistress. "Your Highness, that's right. If you travel the roads often enough, you'll get used to them. For example, when escorting goods, if you find thorns along the way, you must be prepared to meet the bandits. If you can establish a connection and recognize each other as family, you can pass through smoothly. Otherwise, you'll have to rely on your martial arts skills to determine who is better."
Despite all that, Mu Xin Nuan still couldn't figure out why Duanmu Chu Ze had asked her to come here.
It wasn't until Liu Yi and the others had left and the two of them had lunch together at Qinghui Pavilion that she remembered this whole thing.
"What important matter do you have that warrants your invitation to Qinghui Pavilion?"
Duanmu Chuze held her as they rested on the soft couch in the inner room. "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to let you know that we have a guest coming to Yanzhou."
"A guest? I know him?"
Duanmu Chuze nodded. "Do you still remember Xie Yilin?"
"She's coming?" Mu Xin Nuan sat up, her eyes scanning Duanmu Chu Ze up and down a few times before she said, "Hmph! It's all your fault, you troublemaker, why did you have to attract so many suitors?"
Duanmu Chuze choked, thinking to himself, "Even if I attract a lot of suitors, I can't attract as many as you!" Of course, he would never dare say this to her face. Otherwise, he might have to sleep in the study tonight.
“My people found out that Xie Yilin was invited by Madam Lu. She said that she missed her niece, so she wrote a letter to invite her to come to Yanzhou for a short stay.”
"Madam Lu? Hmph! She certainly has some tricks up her sleeve. Does she really think that just because she invited a beauty over, I'm afraid of her?"
That being said, Mu Xin Nuan still couldn't be sure whether she invited Xie Yi Lin over for Duanmu Chu Ze or for her own eldest son.
Xie Yilin was beautiful and skilled in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; she was a renowned talented woman. Although Liu also came from a scholarly family, she was naturally inferior to a young lady from a prominent family like Xie Yilin.
However, Xie Yilin is proud and arrogant, so she naturally wouldn't think much of Lu Shaofeng. Therefore, it's highly likely she's here for Duanmu Chuze.
"Anuan, don't worry, no matter how long she stays, I definitely won't even give her a second glance! You're the only one in my heart, and I can absolutely guarantee that I mean what I say."
"You? Forget it! Xie Yilin is not young anymore. Once she enters the Prince's mansion, she can immediately serve him in bed, which will save you from always feeling so uncomfortable."
The last sentence was spoken by Mu Xin Nuan with a mixture of shyness and bitterness. It seemed she resented being too young to share a room with him.
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Chuze's face lit up with joy. "So Anuan knows I'm suffering. Why don't you help me?"
As he spoke, he leaned in and kissed her earlobe.
Mu Xin Nuan immediately felt a tingling sensation, which made her shiver involuntarily. Her reaction directly stimulated Duanmu Chu Ze.
"Anuan, shall we go back to Yijing Garden?"
"Huh?" A little confused, Mu Xin Nuan didn't understand what he meant when she felt her body lighten and she was pulled into his arms. Then she heard the whistling wind in her ears, which startled her so much that she immediately perked up and hugged his neck tightly, afraid that she would fall off him.
Once back in the dormitory, Duanmu Chuze was nowhere to be seen the gentle demeanor he had displayed in the study. The words "I'm a pervert!" were practically written in his eyes as he looked at Mu Xin Nuan.
Before Mu Xin Nuan could stop him, she felt a soft touch on her lips, and then she felt weak all over. There seemed to be a kind of heat coming from her body, which made her twist her body uneasy.
Her reaction made Duanmu Chuze overjoyed!
"Ah Nuan, my Ah Nuan!" The alluring voice made Mu Xin Nuan's mind go haywire. Only when her clothes were half-undone and she felt a cool sensation on her chest did she exclaim, "No! Ah Ze, not yet!"
"It's okay! Be good! Nuan, I just want to kiss you. Be good, don't be afraid." Duanmu Chuze continued to seduce her with that intoxicating voice, while at the same time, he placed his large hand directly on her chest.
Outside, the cold wind howled, but inside, the scenery was enchanting and spring was in full bloom!
