The relationship between the Xia family and the Zhao family is indeed good, but in Xia Zhaoyi's memory, she and Zhao Yu only met a few times, and they couldn't even be called acquaintances, and the conversations they had had were inconsistent.
More than ten sentences.
When we met at that time, the second brother was almost always present. At that time, Zhao Xun treated her in the same way. He was respectful, aware of etiquette, aware of distance, not overstepping, and not too troublesome.
Her impression of Zhao Xun was that he was a bit more leisurely and elegant than other children from aristocratic families in the capital, and a bit more suave and noble than the chess players.
The second brother, on the other hand, accidentally mentioned Zhao Xun once, saying that he was not very upright and had a bit of evil in him. He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. His temperament was very similar to that of Mu Xiaoshizi of Rongguo Gongfu's family, but he was younger than Mu.
The prince is more open-minded and cheerful.
But the second brother still liked Zhao Xin, and his tone when he mentioned it was not derogatory, and he kept laughing.
In addition to these, there was also the matter of Zhao Mingyue's marriage proposal, but she made her attitude clear early and refused cleanly.
Added up, all the memories Xia Zhaoyi had of Zhao Xuan in his previous life were nothing more.
"Forget it," Zhao Xun's shoulders sank, as if he had lost his strength, "Why am I telling you this? Let's... let's go."
"Prince." Ji Sheng followed.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the figures of their master and servant, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Ah Li." Shen Lie's deep and clear voice sounded in his ears.
"...Well," Xia Zhaoyi responded, raising her eyes to look at him, "Let's go too."
"good."
At this moment, a very light wind suddenly blew.
The two stopped at the same time and looked up at the hidden compartment where the broken bones had fallen. Their movements were almost the same.
"Could that be the exit?" Shen Lie asked.
Xia Zhaoyi was eager to try and wanted to climb up.
As if he could tell what she was thinking, Shen Lie said in a low voice: "Let's go to the front to take a look first. There are many agencies here. It's too dangerous for Master Zhao and servant Zhao to go there alone."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled softly: "You still care about his life and death."
Because she smiled, her dark black eyes were also stained with a faint smile: "After all, we were the ones who tied her down."
Moreover, Shen Lie also had a selfish intention. Although he was really unhappy with Zhao Gong and said harsh words in the letter, it was Zhao Gong who saved all her collection of books and stored them in Huaizhou Street, so he was allowed to
Being able to read it also prevented her favorite literary books from being spoiled.
Shen Lie always remembered this matter. Otherwise, because of Zhao Xi's mouth, Shen Lie would have gone to Zheng Bei with his sword in person to let Zhao Xi know what it meant to truly shut up when he could no longer speak.
"Miss Ah Li!" Ji Sheng called back to them from the front, fearing that they would not follow.
"Here we come." Xia Zhaoyi said in a clear voice.
After returning to the fork in the road, Zhao Yu did not continue forward. After Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie arrived, he said: "Then Chen Yunqi passed through the secret passage first, and might block the secret passage with torture tools. If we chase him the way we came, it will take such a long time."
It’s been a long time and I can’t catch up. So I thought, go check where Zhao Huien went just now.”
"Then let's go together, I happen to be going too." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Zhao Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, neither salty nor cool: "I thought you were indifferent to your sister."
"If I were really indifferent, I wouldn't remind you repeatedly to stop talking nonsense about your relationship."
Zhao Ping smiled: "Don't you always say that she doesn't care about reputation? I'll pay you back."
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Shen Lie said suddenly, his handsome face was cold.
Zhao Xun's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Shen Lie steadily.
Shen Lie did not escape and responded with frost.
The lights were dim, and the deep black eyes became brighter and brighter, as if they were painted on.
He has a handsome face that is enough to dazzle all living beings. Such a face, even if it is placed in this deep and silent mountain cave, can make the dead life become vivid and bright. And then, it is frozen because of his coldness and arrogance. Sealed like a deep mountain and a sea of snow.
After a while, Zhao Yu sighed softly: "Alas..."
He turned around and walked towards the other side, saying, "I shouldn't have given up martial arts and followed literature."
In fact, it is not that he has no kung fu. On the contrary, he is particularly outstanding among the children of aristocratic families in horse riding and shooting, but compared with those who really have kung fu, he is incapable of doing so.
Regardless of whether it was Brother Xia, Li Xiao, or Shen Lie, who was famous for his single-handed attack, Zhao Xun could not say that he had any skills in front of them.
It's just that it's so cold...
Zhao Xun frowned with his back to them. He was so serious. He was not satisfied with being so handsome, but he still wanted to develop such superb skills. He simply refused to let other men live.
Zhao Xun could only say that he was glad that he was three or four years older than him, and he had no interest in competing with him for such a savage and untouchable little girl.
At the same time, I have to be lucky that Shen Lie was not born three or four years earlier, otherwise, Mrs. Xia would have been seduced by this pretty boy.
"Shen Lie, it's okay with me." Xia Zhaoyi whispered.
"I know, but..." Shen Lie did not continue.
Xia Zhaoyi curved her lips and smiled: "Let's go."
There was fire in the depths of this road, and there should be more than one torch. The road was empty, except for the two corpses of Zhao Huien's men, and piles of bones.
One of the corpses had the same death appearance as the corpse found at the wooden door. Xia Zhaoyi found the exact same silver needle on his right temple, which also had the name of Snow Immortal.
On another corpse, no silver needle was found in the back of the neck. After a rough inspection of the cause of death, Xia Zhaoyi opened the deceased's trousers and finally found a poisonous snake tooth mark on the deceased's wrist, which was extremely small and difficult to detect.
"It should be a silver krait snake." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Ji Sheng was shocked: "This snake is extremely venomous."
Xia Zhaoyi thought of the mountain snakes that His Highness Qianqiu had been raising.
"Ah Li," Zhao Xun stared blankly ahead, "Come and see!"
Xia Zhaoyi stood up and walked over, when the corner suddenly opened up. It was obviously a resting place, and it was exactly the same as the "cell palace" above.
Books were scattered on the floor, and a breeze coming from nowhere was not enough to blow away the papers, but on the lightly fluttering pages were the words "Xia Zhaoyi".
"There are so many names for her," Zhao Yu murmured, "Who wrote them and why?"
He raised his foot to go in, but Xia Zhaoyi's ear twitched and suddenly pulled him back: "Be careful!"
Two silver needles suddenly shot out.
Zhao Xun's eyes widened, if he had been half a step slower...
Ji Sheng was frightened and came over shouting: "Your Majesty!"
With a deep clang, he drew out his long sword and stepped towards the ground where Zhao Xun had just stepped. He stepped on his footprints and two more silver needles shot out instantly.
Shen Lie's thin waist leaned back slightly, he nimbly avoided it, and shot away with the long sword in his hand.
The sharp blade carried great force, a dragon roar pierced the air, and in an instant there was a loud bang. The long sword destroyed most of the rock wall where the small hole for shooting the silver needle was.
Dust burst out, mud and rocks splashed down, and an iron box filled with silver needles was cut in half.
