By the time Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo arrived, the three of them were already waiting at the gate of Dongning County. Xiaolong hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Which of you won!" ”

Xia Hongying smiled: "If you draw, you will lose." ”

"Alas," Xiaolong gasped, "it's not fair, I still have to wait for Xiao Shuo, it's normal to lose." ”

Xue Qing smiled: "Xiaolong, next time you let Hongying take care of Xiao Shuo and see who wins." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to lose."

"Let's go, let's go find an inn to rest, we haven't had a good rest in the past few days." Xia Hongying was the first to enter the city gate, and a group of people followed.

Soon, they found a comfortable and quiet inn. After the meal, Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo were arranged by Xia Hongying to take a horse step.

According to the qualifications of the two, in addition to the basic skills, they plan to teach Xiaolong some simple swordsmanship in the future, while Xiao Shuo mainly learns light skills, and can escape to save his life. Xiaolong said that Xiao Shuo should be allowed to practice equestrianism first, and he would not be able to learn light skills for a while, and being able to ride a horse was also a means of saving his life, and he would not be held back in a hurry.

Xue Qing was bored, so she went to the roof alone and looked at the night sky in a daze.

"What are you thinking?" I don't know when, Xia Hongying also came to the roof.

"Look at the sky, it's almost the Begging Festival."

"yes, we've been walking together for a month, and a lot of things have happened."

"Are you taking pity on them?"

"Mai Qing is actually not bad, but he is not a person all the way after all."

"Not all people can go the same way, and different ways do not conspire with each other."

"I have always thought that the meeting of several of us was fate, otherwise how could the five of us from completely different backgrounds and different personalities come together, and there is still a tacit understanding. Even though everyone has their own secrets, they can still trust each other. It's different from Mai Qing......"

"Alas, it's all my fault for being too careless and causing you to miss a confidante."

"Xue Qing," Xia Hongying said, "I don't like to hear what you say." ”

"Okay, then I won't talk about it." After speaking, Xue Qingfei got off the roof.

After Dongning County, further east to Jiaozhou Mansion. As soon as he got out of Dongning County, Xiaolong forced Xiao Shuo to practice horses, he hadn't forgotten to try it with Xia Hongying, but he wanted to take Xiao Shuo to compete with Xia Hongying. The two of them can't compare to everyone in martial arts, so the gap between them and horseback riding is not too big.

"Xiaolong," Xia Hongying caught up with Zhu Xiaolong, "You let Xiao Shuo practice slowly, I'll try it with you first." ”

"Okay, how do you compare?"

"How about seeing which of us gets to the woods ahead first?"

"No problem, those who lose, please eat!"

Xiao Shuo pouted and said, "Xiaolong, which time was not invited by Red Sakura for dinner?" ”

"Uh...... Well, let's compare it first. ”

"Let's go, I'll let you run first."

"Okay!" In this regard, Zhu Xiaolong will not be polite to Xia Hongying, although he knows that he has no hope of winning, he also wants to try to see how big the gap is, of course, he doesn't want to lose too ugly.

After Xiaolong set off, Xia Hongying also rode his horse and galloped away, Xiaolong looked at Xia Hongying's figure getting closer and closer, and said to the horse in a hurry: "Hello horse, good horse, run quickly, I will buy you a lot of delicious food if you outwin." ”

The horse under him seemed to understand his words, and ran more happily, allowing him to distance himself from Xia Hongying a little more.

Xia Hongying didn't want to hit him too much, so she kept this distance until she was about to reach the finish line, when he suddenly accelerated, and finally won by a distance of two zhang.

Although he lost the race, Xiaolong was very happy, the result was already better than he expected, and he seemed to understand how to communicate with the horse.

"Red Sakura, I'm good to the horses, the horses can feel it, right?"

"Of course, horses are very spiritual, and there are many stories of good horse protectors."

"I see, I want to have a good relationship with the horse, so that I can improve my horsemanship, I'll tell Xiao Shuo later."

After arriving at Jiaozhou Mansion and finding a good inn to stay, Xia Hongying arranged for Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo to inquire about the news of the five heroes of Jiaozhou. Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo took on the task very happily. Since they can't do their best during the competition, of course they won't shirk these things that they can do.

Xia Hongying was studying the information collected by her subordinates, and Bingyan and Xue Qing came over: "Let's talk about the situation of the five heroes of Jiaozhou, it should be difficult to deal with." ”

Xia Hongying shook her head and said with a smile: "Alas, it seems that I can't hide anything from you." ”

Xue Qing sat down opposite him: "If you don't know the bottom of your heart, how can you rest assured that only the two of them will go out to find out the news." ”

"Both of them are very good, and what is even more rare is that they have a pure heart. It's just that because of their bad backgrounds, they don't have good teachers to teach them, and they haven't seen the world, so now that they have this opportunity, they will train them more. They will all be talents in the future. ”

"yes, they've been improving for more than a month."

"I plan to give the silver to Xiao Shuo in the future, Xiao Shuo can't practice martial arts, he can cultivate writing and arithmetic."

Ice Flame struck, "It's you who want to be lazy." ”

"Haha, that's by the way. Regarding the five heroes of Jiaozhou, when Xiaolong and them come back, we will discuss it again. Jiaozhou is a good place, since we are here, let's go shopping. ”

"Yes." Ice Flame is still concise. He understood Xia Hongying's hard work, since he let Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo go out to exercise, then he had to give them proper recognition and encouragement, there was no need to rush for a while. Since there is nothing to do for the time being, it is also a good choice to go out for a walk.

Bingyan agreed, and Xue Qing naturally had no opinion. In the past month or so, they have been eliminating harm and practicing martial arts, and it is rarely like now. It's also good to have time to stop and walk around.

When Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo returned, they saw that the outer room was full of all kinds of snacks.

In order to facilitate the care and discussion, they usually choose to rent a small courtyard, or a suite that is large enough for them to live in. This time, I rented a three-room suite, and the outside room was used for group activities such as dining and discussions.

Xia Hongying's handsomeness is not the traditional thick eyebrows and big eyes, his eyes are a little crooked, like half a moon, this time they are bent into a crescent moon, and he said to them: "Come back, I'll leave these things to you to solve." ”

"Ah, what do you mean?" Xiaolong didn't react for a while.

Bingyan also showed a rare smile and explained: "It's just to let you eat it all." ”

"Huh? This...... That's too much......"

"Don't worry, Xiaoshuo, I'm here! I'm dying of hunger...... "The dragon said as he threw himself into battle.

Xiao Shuo was still muttering, "Why did you buy so many things?" ”

Bingyan and Xia Hongying looked at each other and smiled, and said to one of the rooms. Xiao Shuo suddenly understood, and joined the team to fight with Xiao Long.

Xue Qing secretly observed their actions in the room, she deliberately bought a lot of things today.

I remember the first time she went down the mountain, she was with You Lie and Ice Flame. That year, she was thirteen years old.

It happened to be the morning meeting, Xue Qing, who had been on the mountain, went down the mountain for the first time, looking at the bustling crowd and the dazzling stalls, she was excited like a bird flying out of the cage.

She looked here and touched there, and the most attractive thing for her was all kinds of snacks, some of which were small and exquisitely made, and some of which looked simple but full of aroma.

She bought almost all the snacks on the street. Yu Lie and Ice Flame also let her, letting her take a small bite of everything and then pounce on the new battlefield, while they followed behind, helping her pay and help her carry it.

The same is true for today's Ice Flame and Summer Red Sakura.

The end result was that even though she had a round belly, they went home with a lot of snacks. Then Li Gaowo, just like Xia Hongying just now, smiled and asked the five disciples to solve those snacks.

That night, Bingyan sat on the roof with her to watch the stars, and Bingyan rubbed her head dotingly: "Look at you, eat so many things, do you have any stomach discomfort, if you like it, you can go again next time, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Okay, then we'll go back next month."

"Next time, I won't take you there."

"Stingy, I can go to You Lie."

"If you really eat your stomach, but no one dares to take you there, we know how precious you are Master."

Xue Qing smiled brightly: "It won't be like this next time, I already know what is delicious and what is not." ”

"You, I'll stay with you for a while today, and when my stomach is gone, I'll go to sleep."

"Hmm!"

Coming back to her senses, Xue Qing jumped out of the window and sat alone on the roof in a daze.

After a long time, there was another person beside her, and she said gently: "After eating so many things, is there any discomfort in your stomach?" ”

A simple sentence hit Xue Qing's heart, and she raised her head sharply and stared into the eyes of the visitor. However, after a few moments, the other party turned his head, avoided making eye contact with her, and said no more.

Xue Qing lowered her head, moved her legs, and hugged her knees: "If you don't taste them all, how do I know which ones are delicious and which ones are not." ”

"When your stomach is gone, let's go to sleep...... I'll go first......"

Ice Flame left in a hurry, he didn't know why he was buying things from her, and he took the trouble to follow, even happy; Why would I want to go up to accompany her when I knew she was on the roof? Why do you involuntarily say those words, even that tone, which is not usually there?

It's as if this scene has already been rehearsed, and without thinking about it, it was said and done, so naturally.

Ever since he and Xue Qing had a dismantling trick last time, he knew that they must have known each other before. Now he began to believe that their relationship was much more than that. She said that he once said that he wanted to marry her, maybe it was also true, that Xiao Rong......
