"Since you are a guard, you must show me your hand first."

On a small piece of flat land dotted with pines on the west bank of Linghua Pond, Feng Yeling was dressed in a smart outfit, standing fifty steps away from Lanqiao. Her hair was tied up high with a ribbon, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she was beautiful.

Her face was focused and looked heroic in the autumn wind.

Feng Yeling held a mahogany longbow, and the quiver beside her contained more than a dozen powerful iron-rod arrows. She picked up one and put it on the string, then fully drew the bow, pointing the powerful arrow at the blue bridge and said:

"If you can touch the corner of my clothes before I finish shooting these eighteen arrows, I will let you continue to live in the guest room of my bamboo house. Otherwise, you can sleep in a tent by the pool."

Lan Qiao actually didn't care whether Feng Yeling slept in a bamboo house or a tent. He just didn't like the feeling of being looked down upon. Especially since he suffered a loss last time against Zhang Zhongjie, he hoped to prove it to Feng Yeling.

Self: "Then the young lady should watch her clothes carefully."

A smile appeared at the corner of Feng Yeling's mouth, and without further words, he shot out an arrow with a "whoosh" sound.

Lan Qiao dodged backwards. He thought he could avoid the arrow by hiding behind a pine tree trunk, but unexpectedly, the powerful arrow shot through the trunk of the tree and shot towards him again with unabated force, just like the green arrow.

The trunk of a pine tree looks like it is made of tofu.

He quickly rolled to the side and managed to avoid the arrow, breaking into a cold sweat at the same time. He looked at the arrow shaft that was still trembling on the ground, and he admired Feng Yeling Tianxuan's pure Qi in his heart.

He couldn't help but marvel at her technique of shooting through the tree trunk with her Yin energy.

Feng Yeling looked at Lan Qiao's embarrassed appearance rolling on the ground and said with a smile: "Are you scared? It's too late!" As she said that, she took out two more arrows, put them on the bowstring at the same time, and then shot them out together, and obtained two arrows from Lan Qiao.

The lower abdomen and forehead are so accurate that it makes people scared.

At this point, Lan Qiao no longer dared to look down on Feng Yeling. He stretched out his hand and slapped it on the ground. He took advantage of the force and flew up into the air. He grabbed a branch like an ape and then swung to the side. Not only did he avoid Feng Yeling's two arrows.

, and even took this opportunity to fly forward, shortening the distance between him and Feng Yeling to forty steps.

"Watch the move!" Feng Yeling got excited about playing. This time he set three arrows at the same time and shot towards the Blue Bridge in a zigzag pattern.

Lan Qiao didn't dare to stay on the tree. Thinking of Bai Xueyin's idea of ​​"a swallow returning to startle the snow", he stretched his legs on the branch like a cat and flew forward to the left with the help of the elasticity of the branch.

This time he had a very narrow escape, and one of the arrows even missed the tip of his nose. Not only was he so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, but even Feng Yeling in the distance almost screamed out.

The distance was shortened to thirty steps, Lan Qiao aimed at the next branch and flew forward again.

Feng Yeling took four powerful arrows and drew the long bow to full capacity again.

Lan Qiao habitually thought that Feng Yeling shot one arrow the first time, two arrows the second time, and three arrows the third time, so the fourth time it must be four arrows. Unexpectedly, after the bow string sounded, it was still

Only three arrows were shot at him in a zigzag pattern, and the fourth arrow was caught on Feng Yeling's finger, causing it to not fire.

Due to the shortened distance, Lan Qiao didn't have time to think too much, so he repeated his old trick and flew past again, passing between the three arrows shot from Feng Yeling's glyph shape. At this moment, Feng Yeling's bow string sounded again,

The fourth arrow clasped on his finger came out from the string and shot straight towards the foothold of Lanqiao's flyby.

It turned out that Feng Yeling had also seen through Lan Qiao's scheme, and this time he used the trick to block Lan Qiao's way in advance. If Lan Qiao remained unchanged and reached the branches in front, he would definitely be hit by Feng Yeling's powerful arrow.

ending.

Lan Qiao felt more and more that this pampered young lady from the Hou Mansion should not be underestimated. He turned over in the air and made a heavy weight fall down quickly. When he landed on the ground, Feng Yeling had already put five arrows on the string at the same time.

At this time, there was only twenty steps between him and Feng Yeling. Feng Yeling's eyes flashed and he shot five arrows towards Lanqiao one after another.

Lan Qiao rolled forward violently, and waved his left hand in front of the arrow cluster that was rapidly growing in size. The arrow made a "dang" sound and was blocked by his Yin-Yang bracelet. He took the opportunity to take two steps forward, waved his hand again, and

Use your wristband to deflect the second arrow.

Although his bracelet is only two fingers wide, when Lan Qiao pours Qi into it, it can create a strange suction force, sucking the iron arrow shaft into the bracelet.

Lan Qiao advanced all the way and blocked five arrows with his bracelet. Although his wrists were numb from the shock, he finally got close to about three steps in front of Feng Yeling. During the whole process, Feng Yeling shot and Lan Qiao blocked the arrows, only a few seconds before and after.

The effort of just snapping one's fingers can be described as thrilling.

When Feng Yeling came back to her senses and wanted to get another arrow from the quiver, Lan Qiao had already rushed to her side. In desperation, Feng Yeling swung her bow to hit Lan Qiao, but Lan Qiao turned around and dodged.

He reached out to Feng Yeling's head and took off the ribbon that bound her hair.

Feng Yeling's black hair was blown away by the autumn wind. Lan Qiao took two steps back, put the ribbon under the tip of his nose, took a sniff and said with a smile: "It smells really good."

"You..." Feng Yeling stretched out her hand to comb her hair, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and Lan Qiao couldn't help but be stunned by her shy and resentful look.

"Okay, okay." Feng Yeling saw that Lan Qiao had no intention of returning her ribbon, so she whispered: "You win this time, I will let you live in the bamboo house, why don't you return the hairband to me quickly."

Lan Qiao said with a smile: "If the eldest lady thinks it is not polite, I will set up a tent outside the house without any complaints. It's just that I have another matter, but I want to ask the eldest lady for clarification."

Feng Yeling was startled and forgot to continue asking him for the ribbon: "What do you want to ask?"

Lan Qiao pointed to the clothes on his body and said: "I had a small sachet with me. I took it out to dry when I was changing clothes in the guest room last night, but I couldn't find it the next morning.

"

"Oh?" Feng Yeling frowned, "Maybe you don't remember where I put it."

"Probably not." Lan Qiao thought thoughtfully, "I searched the room carefully when I was putting my luggage, but I still couldn't find it, so I wondered if the eldest lady had picked it up."

"No wonder I asked you to come out after so long. It turned out that you were looking for something." Feng Yeling showed a surprised look, "But I have never seen the sachet you mentioned. How about I accompany you to look for it again."

She took Lan Qiao back to the guest room, and patiently accompanied him to search inside and outside the guest room, but still found nothing.

Feng Yeling was unwilling to give in, and finally lay down on the ground regardless of her image, and reached under the bed. Lan Qiao looked at her serious expression and the fragrant sweat on her temples, and believed that she was not lying.

"Forget it if you don't find it." Lan Qiao sighed with a wry smile, "It's not a valuable thing. If it is really lost, you can only blame my bad luck."

"Don't say that now, wait until I call Shuang'er to ask." Feng Yeling gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, called Xia Shuang and asked, "Qiao Chu said that a sachet was lost here.

, have you seen it?"

"I've seen it before." Xia Shuang glanced at Lan Qiao and said, "I saw that the sachet was dirty last night. I thought the spices in it were soaked and were useless, so I took it and threw it away."

"Who told you to throw it away!" Feng Yeling was so angry that he was shaking all over, "Where did you throw it?"

"It's the one behind the house..." Before she could finish her words, Feng Yeling turned around and left, and found the dusty sachet in a tin box where discarded debris was piled behind the bamboo house.

Feng Yeling blew and patted it until the dust was almost gone, then handed it back to Lan Qiao and said: "I'm really sorry, this servant is ignorant, I apologize to you."

Lan Qiao took the sachet and saw that it was not damaged. He felt relieved and said, "I am very touched that the eldest lady is so concerned about my affairs. As for making amends to me, I really don't dare to take it seriously."

Xia Shuang pouted at the side and said, "Why should Miss apologize to him? Has Miss forgotten what happened last night? This man is obviously extremely useless. He couldn't even beat Zhang Zhongjie, but now he has the shamelessness to become Miss."

Personal bodyguard, why should he still want to take advantage of the young lady?"

"That's enough!" Feng Yeling turned around quickly and said, "Have I spoiled you too much and become more and more lawless! It's my intention to ask him to be my personal guard, don't you even listen to my words?"

Seeing Feng Yeling getting angry, Xia Shuang quickly knelt down and said, "But...but he obviously can't protect the young lady. It was the young lady who protected him last night."

"What do you know?" Feng Yeling said with a cold face, "The most important thing in employing people is loyalty. Qiao Chu knew that he couldn't defeat Zhang Zhongjie, but he didn't flinch and tried his best to delay me. With such a person by his side, and

What are you worried about?"

After hearing this, Lan Qiao screamed secretly and felt ashamed, and at the same time, he felt a surge of blood. It seemed that if he could not really protect Feng Yeling, he would not only be sorry for Feng Yueming, but also sorry for the trust that the young lady from the Hou Mansion had in him.

"I punish you by kneeling here for three hours and reflecting on your mistakes." Feng Yeling gave the last instruction and took Lan Qiao back to the bamboo house.

"Speaking of which, you also wanted to save me." She said as she walked, "Generally, after the sachet is soaked in water, the spices inside will lose their effectiveness. If you still remember what spices are in it, you might as well tell me, maybe I can

Find a new batch for you."

"I don't need to worry about it, Miss." Lan Qiao said respectfully, "To be honest, this sachet is quite old. The smell of spices in it is very weak. It's gone after soaking it. It's nothing."

"Oh?" Feng Yeling raised his eyes slightly and asked jokingly: "Brother Qiao is so attached to this sachet. If it's not because of the spices inside, it must be because of the sachet itself. They say girls can do it.

The sachet is given to the man who likes it. I wonder if Brother Qiao’s sachet is also a gift from Brother Qiao’s sweetheart?”

Lan Qiao blushed, scratched his head and hesitated: "Uh... this... I... am not..."

"What's not?" Feng Yeling saw Lan Qiao's embarrassment and asked with more interest, "Do you want to say that the person who gave you the sachet is not your sweetheart, or do you want to say that the sachet belongs to your sweetheart, but she did not give it to you?

?”

Lan Qiao was so excited that she started to sweat. After a long while, he said dejectedly, "I can't reach that high level."

"What kind of words are these?" Feng Yeling stopped suddenly, turned around and stared at Lanqiao Road, "What does it mean that you can't reach something too high? Do you think I can't reach something too high?"

"This... the eldest lady's words..." Lan Qiao said cautiously, "the eldest lady is the most beautiful in the world, she is also of noble status, well-educated and sensible..."

"Stop it." Feng Yeling rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't want you to flatter me, so tell me the answer."

Lan Qiao thought to himself: "The only person who can match the eldest lady is the best hero in the world."

Feng Yeling asked: "Then who is the best hero in the world? Can you give me an example?"

This question stopped Lan Qiao. He wanted to say Feng Yueming, but felt it was inappropriate. He opened and closed his lips, but he still couldn't find a suitable answer.

Feng Yeling sighed softly, turned around and walked forward again, asking as he walked: "Can you know how to use a sword?"

Lan Qiao said modestly: "I know a little bit."

Feng Yeling stopped again, frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Can you speak properly? My brother is a very discerning person, and the person who can make him acquiesce in being my personal bodyguard must not be an ordinary person."

"Then I'll tell you the truth." Lan Qiao coughed dryly and said shamelessly, "I have some experience in swordsmanship."

Feng Yeling smiled and said calmly: "How much experience do you have?"

Lan Qiao's face turned red again when she saw her, and he whispered: "There are probably no more than twenty people in the world who can surpass me in swordsmanship, including men, women, old and young..."

"That's right!" Feng Yeling let out a sweet laugh, then hit Lan Qiao's chest with her pink fist, "Stand up your chest and be a human being, don't always think of yourself as a human being."

She walked into the storage room with light steps, took out the night sky sword that Zhu Xuan gave her, threw it to Lan Qiao and said, "It's for you."

"This... this is too precious..." Lan Qiao held the sword in both hands and said with fear.

"Anyway, I don't know how to use a sword. This sword is just a decoration for me. I might as well give it to you." Feng Yeling said lightly, "Use it to protect me."

Lan Qiao felt as if he had found a treasure and said happily: "Thank you so much, Miss."

Feng Yeling pulled a bamboo chair and sat down, crossed her legs and said, "If you want to thank me, I'm hungry now. How about you make me something to eat?"
