On the second day, I came to the martial arts arena as promised.

Cheng Hao was already waiting there, and there was no one else around.

Hearing my footsteps, Cheng Hao turned around and said, "The one who dares to let this king wait, you are the first!" ”

"It's an honor!" I tilted my head and smiled playfully. In the past few days, I have found that this prince is cold-faced and hot-hearted, and I am no longer afraid of him.

He didn't bother with me, looked at me and asked, "Why do you have the Cloud Bow?" ”

I said: "The prince asked me to learn more skills, of course I am happy, Jin Se is used to using this bow, and other weapons are not used to it." I pulled the bowstring and tried it, "I just didn't think that it was taught by the prince himself, which really made Jin Se embarrassed!" ”

Cheng Hao frowned: "When were you so hypocritical?" ”

I smiled and didn't answer.

"Practice drawing your bow today." Cheng Hao's voice returned to indifference, as if he was training his soldiers.

"Draw a bow? But ......"

"Don't quibble, if you want to learn to count arrows in bursts, you have to change your habit of drawing your bow." Cheng Hao Ling Ran said.

How did he know I was going to practice counting arrows? Shui Yun Juli, before the Night Shadow King left, Cheng Hao sent someone to send two boxes of arrows......

I suddenly had an indescribable feeling in my mind, as if the answer was imminent, but out of reach.

My gaze unconsciously fell on his legs.

The scene in the prison is really a delusion?

"Come back to your senses!" Cheng Hao suddenly shouted.

I'm excited.

Hurriedly pulled up the bowstring.

"Straight back! Arm flat! Shoulder strength! Cheng Hao couldn't help reminding.

I followed his prompts and slowly corrected my posture.

In Fulan Garden, I was secretly learning, and the time I practiced every day was only an hour, and now that Mr. Cheng Hao taught me, I couldn't miss the opportunity.

In this way, after practicing for more than two hours, I was already sweating profusely.

But if he doesn't stop, I'll never rest.

I don't want to show a hint of slack in front of him. After all...... I can't rely on him all the time.

When he finally asked me to eat, my arm was so numb that I lost consciousness, and I was so shaky that I couldn't even hold my chopsticks while eating.

After finishing the meal, Cheng Hao sent someone to spread the word that I would rest the rest of the day by myself and not have to go to the martial arts arena.

I rubbed my numb arm in the room. I don't know what he will let me practice tomorrow, and if my arm is like this all the time, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice anything.

The door suddenly rang, and Xiao Nan's sweet voice sounded outside the door: "Sister, can I come in?" ”

After hearing my answer, Xiao Nan pushed the door in, holding a small green porcelain vase in his hand.

While opening the lid of the porcelain bottle, she said crisply: "The prince asked me to bring you medicine, and taught me to help you rub your shoulders." ”

As he spoke, he poured the medicinal oil into his palm and rubbed it for a while, "The prince said that this medicine needs to be rubbed hot in the palm of the hand, and then rubbed the sore parts, and it will be cured soon." ”

She put her hot little hand over my shoulder, rubbed it gently, and sure enough, after a few moments, it was no longer so sore.

"This medicine is amazing!" I couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Nan said: "Of course what the prince gave is magical!" The child's tone was full of adoration.

"By the way, sister, the prince won't let me tell you, it was the medicine he sent you. But I thought about it, if you don't tell your sister, won't you know when you become a sister? Who else in our house can have this rare medicinal material? Seeing the innocence of what the child said, I couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Nan pinched my arm again and kept talking.

The topic is naturally inseparable from the "prince".

"Sister, the prince is so good to you, there has never been a woman in our house, you are the first." After speaking, he immediately shook his head, "No, there was a beautiful woman a few years ago, but Xiao Nan was still young at that time and didn't remember much." ”

"Really?" I responded lightly, but I wondered what kind of woman it was.

As he was talking, Qinghe's voice sounded outside: "Miss Jinse, Mu Shilang is here, the prince invites you to the study to talk about it." ”

I hurriedly answered.

While arranging his dress, he thought about what Mu Zixiao would be when he came here.

Thinking of the situation in Mu Mansion a few days ago, my heart suddenly tightened.

Stepping into the study, I saw Mu Zixiao standing bent.

Cheng Hao was sitting at the table pondering. Qinghe stood on his right.

"Mu Zixiao!" When he heard me call him, he immediately turned to look at me.

Kwon passed away last night. And Mu Yuan has not spoken to Mu Zixiao because of Hua Nian's death.

He came this time to ask Cheng Hao for his resignation.

If it had been a day before, I would have rebuked him in righteous words. Hua Nian was killed, and the revenge was not avenged, is it too cowardly to retreat at this time?

It was only at this moment that I suddenly understood him.

I sent him out of the house. When I looked at him closely, he had completely lost his former look. But he was only in his twenties, and he looked like he was ten years older.

He told me that Hua Nian likes to dance, and even more so likes wisteria flowers. However, because of Mu Ziyi's relationship, she has never danced since she got married.

Recently, when he took care of his grandmother's funeral, he would take Hua Nian to find a secluded place and plant wisteria for her.

It's just that I don't know if she is willing to stay by his side and dance for her.

I sent him all the way to the door of the house. Watch him pass through the willows and disappear on the other side of the long street.

Since then, Mu Zixiao, the man who appeared in my entire youth, disappeared from my life.

It's night.

Calculate the time, at this time, it is time for the tall sophomore to come back from the Valley of Quiet Flowers.

When it was over, all the lights in the mansion were extinguished, and I quietly changed into a night suit, crossed the stone mountain, walked out of the Ningyuan Palace, and ran towards the long street.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and stood lightly on one foot on a paulownia tree at the end of the broken street. The paulownia tree is overgrown with weeds, and there is a vine with white flowers that wraps around the branches.

Tall and tall Erguo did not break his word. They were waiting for me at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing me coming, the second year of high school hurriedly raised a cloth bag in his hand: "Girl, we took and took three thousand taels of silver tickets, it should be enough, enough!" ”

Seeing this, Gao Da hurriedly kicked him, signaling that he had ears on the wall.

According to Gao Da, Luo Lantian's various gold and jade artifacts are equivalent to more than 20,000 taels of silver, and with her share of the proceeds from selling in various countries, it has reached nearly 40,000 taels so far.

This time, I only need to take three thousand taels of what I have told them.

"Good girl, I haven't seen so much silver or ......silver since I was a high school sophomore," the sophomore laughed uncontrollably.

"Laughing fart, this money is all for the girl to help the victims, don't be delusional!" Gao scolded the tall.

"That's self, that's nature, that's, that's nature, aunt, girl Gaoyi!" was scolded by Gao Da like this, and the stuttering in the second year of high school was even worse.

I smiled and said, "Jin Se asked the two of you to act like this, and you can trust the two of you." Don't worry about it. ”

After I asked him to do it, I asked Xiao Jiu to come to Ningyuan Wangfu to find me, and explained a few more words before leaving.

The tall sophomore said some words of gratitude while going happily.

I'm in a great mood too.

That's right, the last time I saw Gao Da Gao Sophomore, I gave them a map of Qingyu Flower Valley, and asked them to withdraw some of the silver money from Xiaotian and buy a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Kyoto. Notices were then placed on similar streets in Kyoto to recruit servants for Zhuangzi. The young and strong pay a high price, the old and infirm give a sum of money to go home, and those who have old people and young children in the family who cannot work, they are all paid half a month or two more.

In this way, at least they will not freeze to death in the wind and snow again.

After they were gone, I stood again on top of the paulownia tree, and I could see the whole street.

In the broken walls of almost many people's homes, there is a bean-like light. I know very well that in that faint light, some people are worried, some people are crying, some people are critically ill, some people are mending clothes at night, and some people are making wedding clothes for others......

"You're kind!" A familiar, deep voice sounded without warning.

I was standing on one foot, but I was so startled that I fell straight back.

A pair of large hands held me up from behind.

The man with the black mask was standing beside me at this time, and I looked happy and said urgently: "Why haven't I seen you these days?" ”

"It's only been a few days since I saw you, and you've missed me?" His hands were still on my back.

"How so? King Ningyuan is teaching me to practice. "I deliberately tempted him.

"He's idle." The Night King said idly.

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what he meant.

Recently, the more I have been in contact with Cheng Hao, the more familiar I feel. At this time, when I saw the Night Shadow King, this feeling was even worse. I secretly expected that I was right, but their voices were completely different.

"Why bother so much, isn't it easier to give a sum of money directly?" He actually knows everything.

It's okay, I wasn't going to hide it from him. At this time, in my heart, he and Cheng Hao are already the same person.

"There are times when the money is spent, and I believe they are more willing to support themselves." What's more, if I want to survive in Kyoto, I have to support myself. I thought so.

The Night King was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed me and flew up. In the night, I saw the silver locust flowers on his cloak, shining like stars.

He took me to a high pavilion where I could see the whole of Kyoto, including the mountains and forests around Kyoto Castle. In the event of a war, it is a natural protective barrier, but it can also hide the traces of attackers.

The Night Shadow King suddenly said, "Jin Se, what do you think of this world?" ”

I don't know what he wants, so I can only respond as I like: "In this world, there is more than enough to give, this is the world of the rich and powerful, they sing and dance, the wine and meat are stinking, no matter who starves everywhere, and the war continues." I only wish that this world is peaceful and everyone is safe. ”

"The world is peaceful, and everyone is safe...... Only by becoming the master of the world can it be realized. The Night King muttered.

I was stunned in my heart, it turned out that he had such a mind.

I looked at the mountains in the distance, and the stars were flickering on it: "But I yearn for a plain and pleasant life." I turned my head to look at him, although I couldn't see his face, I thought about Cheng Hao's face in my heart, "Just like then, in Shuiyunju." ”

He didn't look at me, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, he suddenly grabbed me, rubbed my whole body into his arms, and the cold mask was pressed against my forehead: "You are only allowed to learn arrows, and you are not allowed to get too close to him." ”

After a while, I realized that he was referring to Cheng Hao!

His arms were warm, but his tone was cold, and my heart began to be confused again, perhaps, I guessed wrong?

Seeing that I was silent, he whispered again: "Jinse, be obedient!" ”

I just nodded silently and buried my head in his neck, and he had a faint scent of grass and trees, just like the first time I saw him......
