Volume 1 Xiao Guo Chapter 4 Self-Seeking Teacher
When Bai Yanxiao and Xiao Sheng were on their way back to the house in a carriage, the news of Bai Yanxiao's canonization of the county lord had already spread all over the streets and alleys of Candle City.
And in the palace, among the female dependents, there are inevitably complaints.
Mrs. Liu Yin slapped the table: "What kind of thing is she!" This has not yet entered the gate of the palace, and has not yet saluted the princess according to the rules, so he dares to compete for favor in front of the saint! ”
Concubine Huang Qiang narrowed her eyes lightly: "Okay, the prince will come back, you guys hurry down, let the prince see you crying and sad faces one by one, I should blame me for not following the rules, the family is not strict, the female dependents are not allowed to enter and leave the hall if they have nothing to do, this rule cannot be broken." ”
Liu Yin choked, and lowered her hand unwillingly: "The side concubine taught a lesson." A few women with delicate makeup saluted and retreated with different expressions.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the house, and after a while, Xiao Sheng walked in.
Huang Qiang greeted him respectfully: "Lord Wang, you are back." But he was first shocked by the white smile, his face turned white, and he froze there.
"Bold, I don't bow when I see the side concubine!" The maid Chunhua on the side scolded Bai Yan and smiled.
Huang Qiang came back to her senses: "It's time for me to salute the county lord, please don't mess with my maid." ”
Bai Yanxiao was not very familiar with the rules of this Xiao country, and his mind was full of Yaohua's words today, so he just nodded at Huang Qiang in a hurry and walked towards Xiao Sheng: "Xiao Sheng, I have something to say to you alone." ”
Huang Qiang stood awkwardly on the spot.
"Oh?" Xiao Sheng raised his eyes tiredly and waved at Huang Qiang.
Huang Qiang smiled and walked out dignifiedly.
"Princess! You kindly gave her the steps to call her the county lord, and she dared to ignore you, she really took herself seriously! She! She even dared to call the prince by his name! "Out of a section, the spring flowers are uneven.
Huang Qiang paused, and her curled fingers clenched tightly. Same name, similar face. Xiao Sheng, after all, can't forget the first princess.
Hearing them go away, Bai Yan smiled before he spoke: "I have something to ask for, please help me inquire about someone." ”
"Oh? Who? Xiao Sheng was interested.
"My sister, her name is Mu Wanci. I suspect that she is now locked up in the palace. Bai Yan smiled and said steadily.
"But I don't do loss-making business, you have to ask for me, but you also have to promise me a condition." Xiao Sheng said quietly.
"All you want is the name of my county lord. I can promise you to stay for a while, and when I rescue my sister, you can use my position as the county lord to win over the ministers you want, and dispel Your Majesty's worries and jealousies about you, and we will settle the matter. Bai Yan smiled and firmly said what Xiao Sheng thought.
Xiao Sheng's face suddenly sank: "How do you know?" ”
Bai Yanxiao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "From the time you saw my appearance and couldn't wait to take me into the palace, you already planned to use me to seize Your Majesty's mercy and stabilize your power." Your flaw lies in the fact that you are too anxious. If Your Majesty doesn't make me the county lord so quickly and doesn't call me that sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to guess what you think at this time. ”
"A woman who is too smart often dies well." Xiao Sheng's voice was as cold as a cold pool.
"But do you really think Your Majesty is so stupid? What if he deliberately sealed my position as the county lord knowing what you were doing, but actually set it up for you? Bai Yan looked at Xiao Sheng with a smile, and a look of pride appeared in his eyes.
"He's just a teenager, you don't think too much about it." Xiao Sheng's eyes flashed with disdain.
"The more impossible things are, the more likely they are to happen." Bai Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Sheng looked at Bai Yan deeply and smiled, and after a long time, he got up and wanted to leave: "As you said, I will make this deal with you." ”
"Wait a minute!" Bai Yanxiao chased after him.
"What else?"
"Since the regent can agree to such a big thing, then there is a small matter, presumably the regent is just a gesture. I want to hire a master who teaches me kung fu! ”
"Women learn martial arts?" Xiao Sheng turned around and raised his eyebrows.
"So what?" Bai Yanxiao raised his chin high, wanting to put on a proud face, but he looked very cute.
"I advise you not to hurt yourself." Xiao Sheng turned around and left, and the door was slammed open. Seeing this, a waiter from afar quietly walked into a separate courtyard to report.
And early the next morning, the martial artists who taught the training waited in Bai Yanxiao's courtyard, waiting for her to choose.
Bai Yanxiao pushed open the door and stretched, and then caught a glimpse of a group of people standing in her courtyard waiting for her to choose....... Man...... Suddenly flashed his waist.
"Oops!" Bai Yanxiao touched his waist.
Then a group of people looked at Bai Yan and smiled, staring intently.
Bai Yanxiao was a little embarrassed.
"White girl, these are the martial artists that the prince has prepared for you, you can choose." The guard on the side said.
Bai Yanxiao twitched the corners of her mouth and let her choose...... Xiao Sheng: This is sincere to embarrass himself. Bai Yanxiao looked around, these martial artists were all strong and extraordinary, or their faces were cold and they were people who practiced martial arts, or they were people in the rivers and lakes with a steady demeanor.
Bai Yan smiled and looked at it quietly.
"The white girl has chosen?" The guard asked.
"I want him." Bai Yanxiao raised his hand and pointed at a person, his appearance was mediocre, but he felt very clean.
"This martial artist, may I ask what is your name?" The guard asked.
"Jiang Rin." The man looked at Bai Yan in disbelief, she hadn't even looked at herself just now.
"Okay, the other martial artists can go back." The squires dismissed everyone.
"Jiang Rin, can you go out for a walk with me?" Bai Yan called with a smile.
"Yes." Jiang Rin lowered his head.
Bai Yanxiao took Jiang Rin to the street, swaggering around this and that, but Jiang Rin followed Bai Yanxiao obediently like a servant and helped her carry things.
"Jiang Rin, do you know why I chose you?" Bai Yanxiao suddenly asked.
"I don't know." Jiang Rin said.
"Because, among the people brought by Xiao Sheng, every one looks like eyeliner, and only you are the cleanest."
Jiang Rin was stunned, does the choice of martial artists also depend on face......
"How do you sell this?" Bai Yanxiao pointed to a kite in front of the stall.
"Ten cents."
"Okay, I want it! Jiang Rin, pay! Bai Yan smiled and walked forward.
"Huh?" Jiang Rin didn't expect that being a martial artist would have to shoulder a "heavy responsibility".
Although Xiao Sheng agreed to her to learn martial arts, it is not difficult to see that the people he chooses have a bad appearance, all of which are just to let her know the difficulties and retreat. Jiang Rin looked clean, but he was like a guard, he didn't feel like a master, and he had no place to help him. Bai Yanxiao had a headache, thinking about finding another master.
"Girl, do you want to take a look at my bronze mirror, this photo can make you more beautiful." The stall owner next to him beckoned the voice.
Bai Yanxiao was not very interested, and he glanced at it, but he was suddenly stunned! In the mirror handed over by the stall owner just now, a butterfly-patterned pendant emitted a flash of blue light in the crowd! Then it quickly disappeared into the crowd and was hard to find.
And the butterfly pattern flashing on the pendant is exactly the same as the pattern of the guardian pendant owned by Bai Yanxiao!
Bai Yan smiled and panicked, and chased towards the dense crowd.
"Hey! Let's get it! Let's give up! In the distance, a coachman came speeding up with a carriage.
Bai Yanxiao chased seriously, not noticing that he was about to crash into his carriage.
"Girl, be careful! Get out of the way! The coachman roared, but he could no longer hold the horse.
Jiang Rin was paying on the side, and when he reacted, his face turned pale in vain.
Seeing that the carriage was about to hit Bai Yanxiao, suddenly, a black robe fell from the air, and in just a moment, Bai Yanxiao was picked up and flew away from the carriage.
The black robe swirled and flew in the air with a white skirt, and Bai Yanxiao raised his eyes to look at the man who had saved him. This glance made Bai Yan smile stunned for a moment. The man had a small mask on the right side of his face covering his right eye and part of his mouth, and the left cheek had blue and black lines, like a dragon, which was a little scary. But his eyes were gray, with a faint blue light, like stars, so deep that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
And that blue light was reflected by the glass pendant on his waist in an instant, and it only dimmed for a moment.
Bai Yan smiled and was surprised, this is the butterfly stone!
Looking at each other, the two slowly landed.
There was a round of applause.
"White girl, are you alright?" Jiang Rin rushed over and asked with a little weakness.
The black-robed man let go of Bai Yanxiao's waist as soon as he let go of his hand, but Bai Yanxiao grabbed his neck and did not let go, but took a step closer, with a happy look on his face, and said, "Hero, you go back with me to be a master!" I want to ask you to teach me martial arts! ”
On the side, Jiang Rin heard that his hand shook unconsciously, the kite fell to the ground, and Jiang Rin looked at the black-robed man tremblingly.
I saw the man twitch the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Let go." ”
Bai Yanxiao shook his head, and his tone was resolute: "Don't let go!" ”
The man pursed his thin lips: "Girl, this is what you want to do, and En will take revenge?" ”
Bai Yanxiao got up slightly, looked into the man's eyes and said, "Definitely." You saved me, and you will be my person from now on, so naturally I will cover you! ”
The black-robed man thought thoughtfully: "Let me teach you kung fu, and then you will cover me?" ”
Bai Yanxiao took a step back, looked at the black-robed man for a long time, and suddenly "pounced" and knelt on the ground: "Little girl Bai Yanxiao, please meet Master!" ”
This is the only way to keep him and find out.
The black-robed man was a little helpless.
Bai Yanxiao raised his little face and said, "Master, I can worship you as a teacher on the street without regard for my image as a woman, how can you bear to embarrass me!" ”
Hearing this, the people on the street talked a lot.
"Yes, this man looks like a person in the narrow sense, what's wrong with accepting a girl as an apprentice!"
"Hey, you don't understand that these people like to play tricks, save people with arrogance, and then don't care whether people live or die."
"Hey, hero, send the Buddha to the west!"
For a time, the streets were bustling.
The black-robed man's face became more and more heavy, and he said, "How do you know, I will definitely teach you, and I am still a good person?" ”
Bai Yanxiao raised his little face, and there was a bright light in his eyes: "First, if the hero can come to the rescue without hesitation, it means that he is a chivalrous, loyal and courageous person!" Second, the hero's martial arts are strong, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, this kind of realm is what I have sought all my life! ”
The black-robed man looked at the woman in front of him with serious nonsense, twitched the corners of his mouth again, and said, "Report to the house." ”
"The little woman is smiling in vain, and now she is temporarily living in the Regent's Palace."
The black-robed man's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Rin behind Bai Yanxiao faintly, but for some reason, Jiang Rin lowered his head weakly.
"Hero, are you willing to take me as an apprentice?" Bai Yanxiao grabbed the sleeve of the black-robed man and asked.
The black-robed man quietly took Bai Yanxiao's hand away and sighed: "I'm not a hero, but I'm very unlucky." ”
"Great!" Bai Yanxiao narrowed his eyes and turned to see Jiang Rin, and said, "That, you can go back!" I found another master......"
Jiang Rin held his breath in his chest, and there were words of suffering.
"Master, where are you going? Now it's convenient to go back to my home with me, make arrangements? Bai Yanxiao grabbed the black-robed man's clothes.
The black-robed man looked at Bai Yan lightly, crying and laughing: "Go back and clean up." ”
"Huh?"
"Tomorrow starts." After saying that, the black-robed man's figure flashed and disappeared.
