Chapter 18: Zixin's Troubles
After practicing the sword in the evening, Xiaobao looked at Zi Xin, who was still a little depressed, and said: What did Xiao Ziwu say today? Say it, and I'll help you beat her.
Zi Xin wanted to speak and stopped, but looking at Xiaobao's worried look, she only said: Originally, I only thought it was a joke between my father and the doormen, but when I heard her say this today, I was a little panicked. I always feel like the more I am afraid of something, the more I am afraid of something.
Huan Xiaobao also guessed a little in his heart, but felt that this matter could only be solved together if Zixin said it, so he said: Although I don't know what the specific matter is, I know that if this person wants to live freely, he must have some ability. You see, now that we can practice martial arts, riding and archery, and the secrets we got from the forbidden land, why worry about being controlled by others in the future.
Zixin smiled bitterly: You're still young. How can you understand the horror of fate sometimes? No matter how hard you try, you can't escape its shackles. Sometimes I feel sad and hard to think about it, and in the end, the bamboo basket is empty, and I am smiling and generous.
Huan Xiaobao shook his head: There are thousands of things, it is better to cut the mess quickly. It's nothing more than whether you dare or not, whether it's strong or not.
Zixin said: In front of the country, there is a little sadness, you look at the silent historian, how can he care about your thoughts.
Zixin sighed in her heart and said: Xiaobao, do you know that before I met you, although I was the daughter of Xiangguo, but my mother passed away early, and Aunt Guo was framed and rejected several times, and my life was not as good as that of ordinary children, so I have always been afraid in my heart, afraid that the future is uncertain, and my fate cannot be controlled.
Huan Xiaobao shook his head and said: It's not right for you to think like this, no matter how he writes the historian, future generations have their own opinions, you haven't seen the popular stories we read, which of the celebrities is conformist, isn't it all true temperament, so there is an ancient legend! The legend is that he knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. Everyone doesn't go, but I go alone.
Zi Xin's heart was shocked when she heard this, as if she had touched some kind of power, and suddenly there was some hope in her heart. She knew that Huan Xiaobao had always been smart, if she hadn't offered her a plan to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of Aunt Guo in the past, and when her father came, she would return to normal, and so on, her father naturally didn't believe Aunt Guo's words, but loved herself more than before. Since then, Aunt Guo and the whole family have not dared to despise it, and they really have the prestige and glory of the daughter of Xiangguo. Seeing Xiaobao's brows furrowed slightly, his face worried, and his heart warmed: Hearing you say this, I am much more relieved. I remember you said you were going to stay with me. Don't leave me behind.
Huan Xiaobao patted his chest and said: You can rest assured, today I swear to the sky and the moon that I must accompany Situ Zixin. Just as he was about to continue, Zi Xin's face twisted, "Who asked you to accompany me to the earth, I'm afraid that I will delay your lifelong event." It's not a red wedding dress coming to the day, and a night and a night. You have to accompany me all the time, your Lang Jun doesn't know how much he dislikes me. When Huan Xiaobao heard this, he crossed his hands and smiled: "Sister Zixin also learned from Xiao Ziwu to make fun of me." What do I want, someone wants to share half of my bed, so I won't do it. ”
"Shame," Zi Xin said, and the two laughed and played.
When the moonlight penetrated the window, the tulle was mixed with the sound of insects outside, Xiaobao extinguished the light, and as soon as he lay down, he heard Zixin say: Xiaobao, I can't sleep.
Huan Xiaobaodao: Still thinking about that? Although we don't have a princess in Wei Kingdom, the clan will definitely find a way, and if you don't have it, you can become there. Now that the four countries are peaceful and there is no war in the countries, I really can't figure out the reason why I will let a daughter of the prime minister get married. If it is Emperor Chu who is longing for you, then it makes sense. Huan Xiaobao paused and then said with a smile: Isn't it that day when the Chu envoy saw my sister Zixin like a shock, graceful and graceful like a dragon, so he told the Chu Emperor who loved to dance and became obsessed.
Zi Xin listened to a pillow thrown on the opposite bed, "Xiaobao, people have something to tell you, you are so out of tune"
Huan Xiaobao said: The emperor of Wei is not a fool, now your father has military power, if you marry to Chu State, in case one day.... Xiaobao said that it was only here, and he was a little embarrassed to continue. Although she didn't pay much attention to the affairs of adults, Father Huan, who was eavesdropping at home, had told that uncle some bad things about Situ Xiyi, and naturally she couldn't say it in front of Zixin. This Situ Xiyi mercenary is self-respecting and greedy for pleasure, and he has a lot of bloody cases on his hands, and he will be in trouble in the future. turned to think that the age of the monarch of Chu State is estimated to be Zixin's father, the current power of Chu State is next to it, and the eunuch is in charge, which is really not a good place to go. Thinking of this, he suddenly became worried about Zixin.
"My father's 3,000 guests are not fools, they are clever and clever, so why worry about not succeeding." Zi Xin said faintly, accompanied by a long sigh.
Huan Xiaobao was speechless for a while, there are too many variables in the future, and it is precisely because of the variables that people will be uneasy, but it is useless to think too much, it is nothing more than a fan of the authorities. Suddenly, the braincase flashed, how did he forget him, "There is someone who can definitely help us"
"Can anyone help us," Zixin asked. Huan Xiaobao pretended to smile profoundly: Sima Yi. Zi Xin's face was hot, and she turned over: "Can he really do it?" ”
Hearing Huan Xiaobao, he said: I must be able to. With the wisdom of a few of us, why worry about it. You don't have to worry about it, and these are all things that don't matter until now. That Xiao Ziwu may be our comrade-in-arms, and I will meet her another day.
Zi Xin heard Xiaobao's description in a good way, Su Ri knew that she was extremely wise, and there was nothing that could be done, so she sighed: Xiaobao, in the past, my mother was newly mourned, no one accompanied me, only me, at that time I thought that there would be a hero to save me, accompany me to watch the moon and count the stars. Haha, I didn't expect it to be you. It's good to meet you. Did you pop out of a crack in the rock? As she was talking, Huan Xiaobao on the other side was already asleep, listening to her even breathing and the sound of insects outside, Zi Xin felt very down-to-earth, thinking about what Huan Xiaobao often talked about: What about his grandmother, tomorrow is a new day!
The next day, after Master Li Xunzi's morning class, Huan Xiaobao and Zhu Lin went to take a swordsmanship class, and Zixin went to Wutian Pavilion to practice more exquisite dance skills. Wutian Pavilion is on the top of a small hill opposite the Frost Courtyard, and the hill is surrounded by thousands of deep cliffs and strange mountain rocks, and the Frost Courtyard is connected by a chain bridge, where the clouds and mist surround it all year round. That Zhu Lin originally came two years earlier than Huan Xiaobao, and the duration of the primary coursework was three years, because he went home for a year in the middle because of Ding Wei, and then encountered the dean's reform, so at the end of this year, he had to take the intermediate exam with Huan Xiaobao. The schoolwork of the two is the same, so the two of them always practice and study together during these days. That Ma Wei and Tang Qiu are still in trouble with Xiaobao Mo, and the reason is: don't be in the company of delicate female dolls, so as not to hurt your self-esteem as a man. So he left the two of them and went on their own. That Zhu Lin knew that although Huan Xiaobao was a female doll on the outside, he was actually a smart and clever person, coupled with the experience of several forbidden places before, he had admiration for this little doll from the bottom of his heart.
Along the way, Huan Xiaobao saw that no one else was on the side, and quietly asked Zhu Lin: How is that retreating technique? That Zhu Lin bun said with a serious face: I just saw the mental method, and I still need to practice for a while before I can practice. "Oh, don't practice day and night like you did before."
Baozi said embarrassedly: Since the incident was put down, I feel that the practice is much more enjoyable than before.
"Xiao Zhu, how about we go to the Jin Palace this New Year? I've always thought that person might be an old man from the Jin Palace, if you weren't familiar with it, how could you easily steal the wrench without being discovered by your father. Maybe that person still has a wrench in the Jin Palace. Xiaobao said and smiled slightly with the tiger teeth growing upward, and the young man's heart warmed, knowing that she had not forgotten to investigate the wrench.
Huan Xiaobao saw that Baozi's face and eyes were abnormally bright, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's learn our skills hard this year, and don't want anything else." At the end of the year, I should go to Lou Cang's house as a guest, right? Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, give me a word" "Okay," the young man said firmly, his eyes full of light.
With that, he pulled Zhu Lin and ran quickly towards the Sword Pavilion of Feitian Peak, where the disciples practiced swordsmanship, with the junior schoolchildren on the east side and the intermediate schoolchildren on the west side. The summer wind through the forest and the stream is really cool and pleasant, and the arms of the wind are like wings about to go to the wind, although it is a headwind, but it does not affect the feet of the two of them at all. Zhu Lin took Huan Xiaobao's hand and walked up the stairs, and Huan Xiaobao suddenly felt that the time of his youth was really good! Although I don't remember what I experienced before, the only thing I remember is the infinite hatred that surged in my heart at the moment when I was hit by the arrow, but time always has magic, domineeringly fading away all the pain and the moon-like state of mind and infinite possibilities in the future! Maybe forgetting is the only way to really be a child again!
Since the reform of the Dean, both junior and intermediate disciples have been busy preparing for this year's promotion exams. Therefore, before Zhu Lin and Huan Xiaobao, some schoolchildren had already arrived in advance, and although the sword master had not yet arrived, some people had already begun to practice. There was still half an hour left in the time, Huan Xiaobao said a few words to Zhu Lin and ran to the west to find Xiao Ziwu.
Although she knew that Xiao Ziwu was a powerful character, she wanted to confirm one thing so that she could plan in the future.
When she arrived at the west side, the sun was just shining directly under her eyes, Huan Xiaobao had to put her hands on the pergola and look around, and saw that Xiao Ziwu was drinking tea in the pavilion in a dark robe, and there was a man who looked like a male disciple diligently fanning her cool. Although he only saw a back, Huan Xiaobao snickered: I also recognize your back turning to ashes. Suddenly remembered being patted on the head by that person, and a burst of unhappiness suddenly surged in my heart, but now this person can inquire about some things, although I know that what she said may not be reliable, but opportunities are also challenges. There is still a year and a half before Zixin is about to perform the ceremony, and I heard Zixin say that her father has begun to prepare the dowry, and I am afraid that she will get married after the ceremony. If Zi Xin was suddenly married to the unpredictable state of Chu, it would not be a good thing. I thought that I had already arrived in front of Xiao Ziwu.
The man was drinking tea when he saw a schoolboy in a rust-colored girl's uniform appear beside him, his face was bright, his eyes soaked in the light of youth, but he did not have the humility and respect that he should have. Usually others are a little respectful when they see themselves, even the teacher does not dare to despise her, that day in the canteen she was defeated, and she was thinking about how to teach the little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, but she didn't think that she would take the initiative to send it to the door today. Seeing that the corners of this person's lips hooked up the hunter's sly smile before going to the net, Huan Xiaobao didn't know if he could become an ally with this person. Huan Xiaobao picked a well-ventilated stone bench and sat down, looked at Xiao Ziwu in front of him, spread his hands and said with a smile: You see I didn't bring weapons today, but I didn't come to provoke and fight, I want to negotiate a deal with you, I don't know if you dare. That Xiao Ziwu waved his hand to signal the servant to go down, and said ambiguously to Huan Xiaobao: By you? You're just a little doll.
Huan Xiaobao felt very tired of talking to this weird person, so he simply said directly: Since I am here, I must have this bargaining chip. Also, you're just a kid, and you're a big man here. Our ancestor has training, and he doesn't count his identity before entering Taihe.
Xiao Ziwu saw that the person who came said this, and suddenly became interested, changed his posture, supported his head with his left arm, his narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and the sunlight fainted under the long eyelashes, and pretended to be lazy and said: What conditions are to be said, let me listen. If it's, you know that my cherry gun won't stop until it doesn't see blood. Huan Xiaobao thought to himself that this person dared to threaten by force, who doesn't know that your swordsmanship and cherry spear are first-class, and you are so ruthless at such a young age, you are really good material for the king. Staring at this Xiao Ziwu's fox-like charming eyes, he smiled and said: I'm afraid it's inconvenient here, see you in the bamboo forest behind the entrance of our canteen at dinner time today, just the two of us, what do you think? Do you dare? "Hmph, little doll has times when you cry." Xiao Ziwu lowered his voice and said. "The time is almost up, I'm going to practice swords, see you or leave." Huan Xiaobao said in a leisurely tone. Xiao Ziwu looked at Huan Xiaobao's back and always felt that this person was not as vulgar as Youruo said, although he did not have the demeanor of a noble lady, but he had a temperament. She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and traveled around the world with her uncle when she was young, what kind of character has she never seen, but what kind of temperament is this Huan Xiaobao, she is not humble or arrogant when she meets herself, but she sees through herself, if it is true, this person is really a powerful character. Should such a character get acquainted with me in order to purge the Qing Dynasty and the opposition in the future? Let's see what medicine she sells in her gourd.
Huan Xiaobao came out from the west side, looking at the face of the bun in the distance like a sunflower under the sun, it was very kind, and I really wanted to go up and pinch it. I thought: This is what youth should look like!
