Two yellow horses were galloping on the official road, and Concubine Ji yawned.
Ning Huangji glanced at her and asked with a smile: "The eldest princess didn't rest yesterday, okay?"
Master Ji glanced sideways at him with an unkind look on her face. Ning Huangji laughed knowingly and said nothing more.
Master Ji turned her head and continued to ride on her horse, but her mind recalled the creaking sound coming from the next room last night...
That sound was very familiar to Master Ji - it was the sound of the bed shaking.
Last night, Master Ji was disturbed by the noise and she really didn't get a good rest.
As the dean and a role model, he actually attacked his disciples. It’s true that a dog can’t change his mind and eat shit...
When Master Ji thought of this, her face turned red because of the anger in her heart.
Ning Huangji, who was on the side, saw this change in Master Ji. He wanted to ease the embarrassment before and talk about some relaxed topics to tighten the distance between them. After all, Master Ji would have to live in the military camp for a long time in the future.
As for the case of the Eternal Life Palace, it would not be possible to find out in a short while, so he said: "Is the eldest princess thinking about Crown Prince Li?"
"Actually, it's nothing. A little farewell is better than a wedding. If you really miss her so much, I'll send someone to fetch Prince Li later."
When Master Ji heard this, she trembled and her face turned redder. Of course, it was because of the anger of being misunderstood and ruining her reputation.
She glared at Ning Huangji fiercely and said coldly: "Commander Ning, that is not something you should be concerned about. What we need to do now is to find out the details of Qin Chenggu and find out the clues about the evil sect."
"Yes, yes, yes." Ning Huangji nodded repeatedly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the blushing color on Master Ji's face. He secretly thought in his heart, even a genius like the eldest princess, when talking about her lover,
She would also show such a look, and sure enough, women all over the world are exactly the same. As for Master Ji’s seemingly vicious remarks, in Ning Huangji’s view, they were just to cover up her shyness...
Of course, Master Ji also felt the teasing look in Ning Huangji's eyes. She knew that explanations were useless, so she turned her head and rode her horse, cursing secretly in her heart: Li Danqing! Let's wait and see!
The war horses are galloping, the wind and snow are getting stronger, and the marks of horseshoes are lined up in a long line on the snow...
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Li Danqing sneezed while running on the streets of Windy City. He looked at the increasingly heavy wind and snow in the sky, and thought to himself: He has clearly been acting these past few days, but his body and bones have become weak because of it. Such a little snow will make him feel weak.
He caught a cold? How will he manage everything from now on...
no!
I have to ask Xiaoxiao to roast some more big kidneys for him when I get back.
He reached out to brush the snow off his shoulders, and then looked at the street. The heavy snow had already reached his ankles. There were only a few people walking on the street. Most of them were hiding from the wind and snow at home, making the entire windy city seem a bit deserted.
Yingshui County was not considered wealthy among the thirty-six counties of Wuyang Dynasty, and Dafeng City was unable to make ends meet in recent years due to the decline of Yangshan Mountain. Every winter, there would always be some people who had a hard time because they lost their livelihood.
In the Wuyang Dynasty, which seemed to be at its peak during the Spring and Autumn Period, there were no longer a few places like this.
But the snowy day has some benefits for Li Danqing. After all, as his cultivation level increases, the burden that Chaoge Sword and Liuyin Armor alone can bring to him is very little. At this moment, he has already circled the entire
I ran more than ten laps in Gale City, but I didn’t feel tired. The ground
The accumulated snow can make his training more difficult. It doesn't have much effect, but it's still better than nothing.
Maybe I need to find another way to train my body.
Li Danqing thought secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled knowingly: "If Xiao Xianyin were here and saw himself changing the method to make his practice more difficult, I think he would be very happy..."
"I just don't know how that little girl is doing in Wuyang City now?"
…
"Without me here, that guy would definitely waste his time practicing and indulge in drinking and sex every day."
Xia Xianyin, standing inside the red window, looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky above Wuyang City and thought to herself.
She was always like this these days. Whenever she had free time, she would think of that hateful face and the other party's mean smile.
I should have left a few days later. I don’t know how that guy solved the trouble at Yong’an Martial Arts School. I heard that the evil sect involved was so weird that even His Majesty was alarmed.
"Miss, Chief Commander is here." At this moment, the voice of the maid came from outside the door.
Xia Xianyin's heart was shocked, and she came to her senses. She hurriedly went to the bronze mirror to tidy up her appearance. After making sure that there was nothing serious, she followed the maid to the reception hall.
The Xia Mansion is very big. In the entire royal city, apart from the Divine Palace, there are only a handful of things that can compare with the grandeur of the Xia Mansion.
But the Xia Mansion was also very deserted. Counting all the servants, there were only about ten people in the entire mansion. As for the Xia family, only Xia Xianyin was left.
"Da Siming is waiting inside." When she walked to the door of the hall, the maid stopped and whispered. Her expression was a little frightened, her head was lowered, and she did not dare to take a look at the door - Xia Xianyin said
The maid has long been accustomed to behaving like this. Even in the first few years, she had always felt this way. There was always such an aura flowing around the great commander, gloomy, dark, and repulsive to others.
outside.
Even now, Xia Xianyin still has some heart palpitations.
"I understand, please step back." She said.
When the maid heard this, she felt as if she had been granted amnesty. After thanking him several times, she turned around and left quickly.
Xia Xianyin took a deep breath at that time, then turned around and walked through the door.
"Xia Xianyin, Deacon of the Tianjian Division, pays homage to Grand Siming." She walked straight to the center of the house with her head lowered, bowed her hands towards the person sitting at the head of the room, and bowed to him, without raising her head during the whole process.
Go take a look at each other.
This was a habit she had developed over the years. Every time she looked directly at the other person and their eyes crossed, Xia Xianyin would feel an indescribable sense of suffocation. Over time, she became accustomed to lowering her head to talk to the other person.
"Deacon? I haven't written out the documents for the general position, and you demoted your position yourself? It seems that you have been coveting the position of chief commander of the Tianjian Division for a long time, right?" The person sitting in front of him said softly.
, the sound is a bit dry, like the sound made by a rotten citrus when it is crushed.
"I don't dare. It's just that I did violate the command of Chief Commander and should be punished!" After hearing this, Xia Xianyin hurriedly spoke, with a look of fear on his lowered face.
"You should call me Master when there is no one around." At this time, the man said again.
Xia Xianyin was stunned and quickly changed his words: "Master."
She called like this, but there was not much intimacy in her tone.
In fact, Da Siming helped her a lot
many.
Back then, the Xia family was implicated in an evil murder case. The members of the Xia family were beheaded and exiled. As the legitimate daughter of the Xia family, Xia Xianyin's fate should be like that of a green bamboo, being demoted to slavery.
But at this time, Yin Wujiang, who was the chief commander of the Tianjian Division, took action to protect Xia Xianyin and accepted him as his disciple.
This was actually a very risky thing at the time. Ji Qi, who had just ascended the throne, urgently needed something to scare the government and the public. The case of the Xia family was extremely implicated. If the nine clans were not implicated, it would be an extrajudicial favor. It would be extremely easy to take in the orphans of the Xia family.
He was jealous of Ji Qi.
But Yin Wujiang still did it. Not only did he do it, but he also promoted Xia Xianyin to the position of Shao Siming. You must know that at her age, she could reach such a position, at least in Wuyang Dynasty, which was unique.
Even the Xia family's old house, which should have been sealed off, was brought back by this old man for Xia Xianyin.
Xia Xianyin should be very grateful to the other party.
This is true in her heart, but she has never been able to get close to it.
That's a very contradictory feeling.
She was afraid of him, afraid of his official position as Chief Commander of the Tianjian Division, afraid of his power of life and death, and even more afraid of his eyes that would keep people awake for days and nights just by looking at them.
At this time, Yin Wujiang stretched out his hand, and Xia Xianyin hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
It was a thin palm, covered with traces of time.
In fact, Yin Wujiang is already eighty years old. In the forty years since he has been in charge of the Tianjian Division, he has learned too many secrets in the world.
Yin Wujiang often said that those secrets were his talisman and his death knell.
With Xia Xianyin's support, he slowly walked to the door of the room, looked at the snow outside the house, and asked softly: "This trip to Yangshan will not be easy."
Xia Xianyin raised her head and glanced at the old man. He was wearing a white shirt and had a thin figure, as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind.
"It was a bit troublesome, but thanks to Master, I sent that guy to Yangshan."
"Yangshan? It's thousands of miles away. Do you think he can come back?" the old man asked.
Xia Xianyin fell silent after hearing this. She didn't know if he could come back, let alone whether coming back would be good or bad for him.
"You don't need to be demoted from your position, but there is something you have to do." The old man said suddenly without further entanglement on this topic.
"What's the matter?" Xia Xianyin asked.
"Ying Li, you know, right?"
"You mean Mr. Ying's son?" Xia Xianyin frowned.
"Well. A few days ago, Mr. Ying proposed marriage to me on behalf of his son."
"The wedding date will be next autumn." The old man said calmly.
Xia Xianyin's body trembled, and for some reason, that guy's face flashed through his mind.
"Master, I..." she said.
"I know you don't like him."
"But I gave you a chance."
"It is your choice to return to Wuyang City, and since you are back, you must abide by the rules here."
"Remember, kid."
"In Wuyang City, there is never a question of whether you like it or not, there is only..."
