Chapter Twenty-Four: The Best Princess
Nameless just wanted to swing his sword to block, but when he saw that the opponent's eyes were full of determination, he knew that the other party had already saved the idea of dying together, so he hurriedly collected his sword and dodged sideways. Just kidding, Nameless is young, but he doesn't want to die like this.
Seeing that he had succeeded in forcing Nameless away, the assassin did not hesitate any longer, his feet were strong, his body was raised high, and he had already passed the guards on the periphery and fled.
"Still want to run?" Nameless roared, withdrew the dragon tendon whip, and his body was shocked, and he also chased after him.
That person's light skill was no worse than that of Nameless, but he was seriously injured on the shoulder and was bleeding nonstop, so this light skill was naturally discounted, so after passing a few palaces, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the assassin was about to turn around and fight to the death, when he suddenly saw a small courtyard next to him, and he thought that there was a place to hide, so he turned his body and entered over the wall.
Nameless just wanted to jump in, but He Ziming's anxious words came from behind: "Nameless!" Don't make a mistake! ”
Nameless stopped his figure, and He Ziming, who rushed up dissatisfied, said: "I'm about to catch him, why did you suddenly stop me?" ”
He Ziming said helplessly: "Do you know who lives in this courtyard?" Just so recklessly jumping into the wall? ”
"Who is it?" Nameless asked angrily.
He Ziming pursed his lips and said, "Eldest princess Li Xiuxin!" ”
"Eldest princess?" Nameless looked at He Ziming with a puzzled face and asked, "The emperor's sister or sister?" ”
This eldest princess is not something that can be called casually, according to the rules of the Great Qian Dynasty, the emperor's daughter is called a princess, and her status is equivalent to a first-class marquis; Only the emperor's sister can be called the eldest princess, and her status is the same as that of the prince. That's why Nameless asked.
He Ziming smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor has only one sister, and there are no other sisters." ”
"The emperor's sister?" Nameless frowned and said, "Then why do you still live in the palace?" Isn't she married yet? ”
"Shh He Ziming hurriedly stopped the nameless nonsense and whispered, "Don't let the eldest princess hear this, otherwise you will die." ”
"Listen to your tone, this eldest princess's temper is not very good!" Nameless's brow furrowed even tighter.
"It's not good!" He Ziming twitched his cheeks, as if recalling the heroic deeds of the eldest princess, looked around again, and said, "You also know a little bit about the temper of the queen mother, right?" ”
"Could it be that this eldest princess is the same as the queen mother?" Nameless asked, his eyes wide.
"Compared with the eldest princess, the queen is an absolute lady!" He Ziming can be said to be speechless, and he is endless.
It turned out that Li Guanqi's cheap father, Emperor Muzong, gave birth to a lot of sons, but he gave birth to a daughter in his life - Li Xiuxin. Originally, in feudal society, the idea of preference for sons was particularly serious, and the royal family was even more so. But whether it is people or things, they are all rare and expensive. Emperor Muzong has only one daughter, so he is naturally extremely loved, so he naturally developed Li Xiu's character of not being afraid of heaven and earth.
When Li Guanqi ascended the throne, he naturally took special care of this only sister, and without hesitation, he crowned Li Xiuxin as the eldest princess, and basically met the requirements of this sister as much as possible.
It is precisely because of Emperor Muzong's favor that he is unwilling to let his only daughter leave him, but the marriage of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been delayed, and she is already twenty years old, and she is still waiting for the boudoir.
Nameless looked at the palace wall, and said to He Ziming, "Although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not easy to mess with, but now that the assassin has run into her palace, if we don't go in, in case she has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't we be more responsible?" ”
He Ziming shook his head and said, "At this time, the eldest princess must have fallen asleep, and the assassin was in a hurry to escape, so he didn't want to disturb the eldest princess." Let's call the door obediently, otherwise we will annoy this person, and it will be a miserable one! ”
Looking at He Ziming's grinning expression, Nameless knew that he must have been repaired by the eldest princess before. For someone like He Ziming, who can make a master like He Ziming feel uneasy, it's better not to mess with him.
Originally, according to He Ziming's conjecture, now that the second watch has passed, Li Xiuxin should have already fallen asleep, and the assassin panicked, and it was definitely impossible for him to run into Li Xiuxin's dormitory again. But who would have thought that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess hadn't slept tonight, but was practicing swords in the courtyard!
That's right, it's sword practice. Although Emperor Muzong is not good at martial arts, the daughter he gave birth to is very much like her grandfather, Emperor Wuzong. Emperor Muzong is such a daughter, and he doesn't stop her from having any hobbies or the like, so after so many years, this eldest princess has become a "dance master".
Originally, Li Xiuxin usually had to practice swords every night, but he couldn't practice so late. Coincidentally, today a palace maid beside her presented a "Yue Nu Swordsmanship" sword book, and the "dancing idiot" eldest princess couldn't hold back her excitement, so she had to practice all this set of swordsmanship before going to sleep.
So when the assassin jumped into the courtyard, the eunuchs and maids in the palace collapsed to the ground in fright, but our eldest princess was not only not afraid, but very happy, because she finally had the opportunity to fight. The guards on weekdays always deliberately lost to her when they fought against her, which made her very angry, although she always thought in her heart that those guards, including He Ziming, were not her opponents in the first place.
The assassin originally thought that at this time, there should be no one in the courtyard, but who knew that when he jumped in, he found that there were not only people in the courtyard, but also a woman, a very beautiful woman.
I saw that she had a long figure, fluttering hair, a purple forehead with her eyebrows, no skirt, wearing a goose-yellow brocade suit, hakama pants made of fine silk, trouser legs tied in small boots, narrow and close-fitting, lining her round and slender thighs strong and powerful, straight and toned legs.
Looking at her appearance again, her eyebrows are even more picturesque, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her eyes are as clear as water.
When the assassin was looking out of his mind, he only heard a coquettish reprimand, Li Xiuxin raised the sword with both hands, jumped forward, and stabbed straight at him, which was one of the moves in the Yue Nu swordsmanship she had just practiced - Xizi Holding the Heart.
