After that, she lived in the palace and was even raised to be more delicate than the princesses.
Although she has the reputation of being a little bully, the girl's appearance is too deceptive. She looks delicate and soft, and with His Majesty's support behind her, everyone just thinks it is a rumor.
But who is this person killing the enemy without changing his expression now?
Gardenia put down the bow and arrow in her hand and saw that they were all looking at her, with a bit of doubt in their round eyes.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Huo Lichi coughed, calling back everyone's thoughts, and then arranged for someone to investigate the situation, and then turned to look at her.
"Why aren't you in the team? It's dangerous here."
Gardenia blinked, threw away the bloody arrow in her hand, and answered obediently.
"I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
As he said this, he got off the horse with his skirt in hand and ran over to look around him.
Looking at the little girl wandering in front of him, Huo Lichi's expression softened a little unconsciously and he held her down.
"I'm fine. Let's go back to the convoy to meet up."
After checking around and seeing that he was not injured, Gardenia nodded obediently, but her little hand had unconsciously touched the corner of his clothes and rubbed against him, so she could not see the ferocious look just now.
She came out in a hurry and didn't bring any weapons. The bows and arrows were picked up from those corpses, so that now she felt that she smelled of other people's blood, which made her feel a little disgusted.
After secretly wiping her hands clean, the little girl grabbed his clothes and changed the subject.
"Can you join the team from now on?"
Huo Lichi looked down at the corner of his clothes, hummed slightly, and then held her wrist.
"I'll take you to the river."
Seeing him discover this, Gardenia couldn't help but feel guilty. She didn't even realize when she was being carried and turned over.
When she reacted, she was already trapped in his arms. When she raised her head, she saw the other person's superior and beautiful profile.
The little girl thought for a moment, then hugged his waist and found a more comfortable position to shrink down.
Although riding a horse is cool, my legs hurt after a long time. It would be good to have someone to hold me.
Gardenia thought happily, and did not notice that the other party's body was slightly tensed due to her proximity.
After a brief stiffness, Huo Lichi hugged him tighter without saying a word.
When the soldiers in the woods checked the situation and confirmed that there were no ambushes within a hundred miles, and came back to report to the young man, they discovered that both of them were missing.
Several generals looked at each other, hesitantly.
"Should we wait here, or return to the team to protect His Majesty?"
"...Wait a little longer. There is no signal from the convoy. It seems to have been resolved. If we go back now, how will the general return to His Majesty later?"
"Yes, then we don't have to catch up?"
"Who are you worried about?"
Thinking of his own general who was fighting against a hundred, and then thinking of the extremely cruel little princess just now, the person who asked the question fell silent.
He might as well worry more about himself when he has this free time.
…
The river is not too far from the woods, and we arrived on horseback in about ten minutes.
As soon as Huo Lichi tightened the reins, the little girl in his arms rushed down impatiently.
He looked at his hand that was in the air, silently retracted it, turned over and dismounted, and placed the horse aside.
Due to limited conditions, Gardenia only knelt down and washed her hands, then wetted her face and wiped her face.
Looking at her bright red dress, she wrinkled the tip of her nose, a little regretful.
In fact, she quite likes this dress, but she probably won't wear it again. Who knows if it's stained with other people's blood.
