Xiao Bao ran out of two steps, and Tang Yuan jumped over his head and blocked directly in front of him. Xiaobao stomped his foot, turned around and ran back, still blocked. He swept his legs, Tang Yuan easily dodged it, he punched out again, but Tang Yuan directly grabbed his arm, and gently pulled it, Xiaobao "poof" fell to the ground, a dog gnawing style.

He spit out the mud in his mouth, glared at Tang Yuan angrily and said, "Come again!" ”

Tang Yuan was not polite: "Okay! ”

With another backhand pull, Xiaobao fell to the ground again.

"Come again!"

Xiaobao has a new style every time, and Tangyuan can resolve these little tricks of his every time. After a few times, Mrs. Gu couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly picked up Xiaobao and patted the ash on his body: "Don't make trouble!" If you fall down again, it's time for your front teeth to fall out! ”

Xiaobao was not convinced, wiped the mud on his face, glared at Tang Yuan and said, "You wait, I will definitely find a way to defeat you tomorrow!" ”

Tang Yuan stuck out his tongue and scratched his head: "Okay, I'll wait." ”

Ming Ruonan was helpless, so she had to take the rice balls to make do with it first. During this period, he talked a lot about Gu Huaiyuan's youth with Mrs. Gu, and the two chatted speculatively.

After lunch on the second day, Xiaobao actually got up with the dumplings again.

"Come again!"

"Don't come, don't come, I'm afraid I'll break you." The little face of the rice balls finally returned to white and tender, today Mrs. Gu specially stewed a home-raised chicken for them, the rice balls were eaten with a round stomach, and they just wanted to lie down and bask in the sun at the moment.

Xiaobao didn't discuss with him, and punched him directly, Tang Yuan was a little impatient, frowning and flashing, he punched again, Tang Yuan pushed him casually, and pushed him to the ground.

After a few times, Xiaobao's hands were a little sore, and his whole body was bruised and purple, but he couldn't touch the rice balls.

On the third day, as soon as Ming Ruonan came out of the house, he still saw this scene, Tang Yuan became more and more impatient, he was pestered by Xiaobao all day, and he didn't have time to go out to play.

Tang Yuan looked at his master for help, but Ming Ruonan raised his chin at his apprentice with a smile.

Tang Yuan pouted, and with a slight touch, he pushed Xiaobao down again.

This time, Xiaobao didn't stand up again, but sat on the ground, looked at the mud on his hands, and sobbed and cried.

Tang Yuan was dumbfounded for a moment, and said innocently to Ming Ruonan: "I didn't use my strength!" ”

Xiaobao cried louder and louder, which directly attracted Mrs. Gu, who looked at Xiaobao extremely distressed and hurried to comfort her. Ming Ruonan stopped her and said with a smile: "Give it to the rice balls." ”

Mrs. Gu looked at the courtyard worriedly, only to see Tang Yuan scratching her head, and wondering, "No, why are you crying?" Isn't it just that you can't beat me? Practice becomes sprinkling! You're better today than you were yesterday! ”

Xiaobao snorted and looked at the rice balls, and couldn't stop shedding tears: "I want to be a general like my father, but I ...... But I can't do anything! ”

Tang Yuan squatted down, patted Xiaobao's shoulder, and comforted awkwardly: "I still want to be a master like my master!" Who doesn't have a dream? ”

Xiaobao blinked his eyes, wiped his tears, and wiped the black mud on his face.

"Is your master a great hero?"

"Of course!" Tang Yuan was very proud when he said this, "The entire martial arts is respected by my master!" She supports justice and eliminates harm for the people, and everyone admires her! ”

Xiaobao pouted: "But isn't she a woman?" ”

"What's wrong with the woman?" Tang Yuan pinched his waist and stood up, looking serious, "You didn't see my master beating people, but it's enjoyable!" ”

Xiaobao looked at Tang Yuan suspiciously and asked, "Your master is my father's junior sister?" ”

Tang Yuan nodded: "If you cultivate hard, one day, you can be as powerful as me!" ”

"Cultivation?"

"Well, practice martial arts!" Tang Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a thief light, and he finally found someone who could share the joys and sorrows with him, of course, mainly the same suffering, and he was younger than him, and he was not supported by someone like Mi'er, and when the time came, he Tangyuan also had someone to bully!

Thinking so, he showed an extremely warm smile: "Xiaobao, do you want to practice the Cold Ice Palm like me?" Ice Palm is very powerful! ”

Xiaobao blinked his eyes and was even more confused: "Is it the same as my father's practice?" ”

Tang Yuan nodded like pounding garlic: "You come to be my junior brother!" ”

Ming Ruonan looked at Tang Yuan holding Xiaobao's shoulder, and felt that this child seemed to have really grown up, and he looked like a senior brother.

Originally, things had just settled, but that night, Ming Ruonan had a nightmare again after a long absence.

She was sleeping in a daze when she was slapped on the face by a wrinkled old man.

She woke up and was about to shout, but found that she couldn't move at all, and she couldn't make a sound at all. After calming down for a moment, I looked at the old man's face so close to him, and it seemed to be a little familiar...... Oh, Yuan Jing's grandfather.

"Zeng Zeng Zeng...... Great-granddaughter-in-law, don't sleep! My Great-Great-Great...... Something happened to the great-grandson! ”

After the old man said this, he disappeared, and Ming Ruonan really woke up from his dream this time.

She sat up on the bright sky, looked at the bright moon still hanging outside the window, and was a little dazed, unable to tell if it was really Tai-Zutuo's dream just now, or if she was dreaming upside down.

She thought for a long time, listening to the rooster crowing three times outside, and the panic in her heart became heavier and heavier.

"Leaving so soon? It would be nice to stay longer. Mrs. Gu seemed a little reluctant.

"I was not sure, worried that something might have happened at home. Sister-in-law, I will send someone to send you back to the southwest in a few days, and you and Xiaobao should hurry up and pack up. Ming Ruonan turned his head to look at Xiaobao and rubbed his head, "In the future, you will be my apprentice, this is the wooden hairpin carved by your senior brother, and I will send you as a apprenticeship for the time being, and then when you go to the southwest, the master will make up for you again!" ”

Xiaobao looked at the hairpin in his hand, and his eyes overflowed with an indescribable look. He nodded, looked at Ming Ruonan and frowned slightly, as if he had something to say, but in the end he held back.

Ming Ruonan didn't say anything more, and returned to the county seat with the rice balls. Fortunately, although there are many liars in Yiyang County, the inn does not deceive me, and the horse is still there.

The two rode their horses all the way, did not care about rest and water, and returned to the capital in only three days. But as soon as she pushed open the door of the palace, she sensed that something was wrong. The courtyard is dead and silent, even if the noisiest rice balls are not there, the three girls of Matuan, Guozi and Huan'er can also chatter and quarrel on weekdays, but today, she has been in the door for so long, but she hasn't even seen a figure.

"Sister Ma Tuan?" Tang Yuan frowned and shouted in, and only then did someone poke his head out.

Ma Tuan pushed the fruit on the side, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss is back!" ”

Several people hurriedly ran out of the inner room as if they had seen a savior, and looked at Ming Ruonan for a while, but they didn't know how to speak.

Huan'er cried out directly with a "wow", looking at Ming Ruonan for a long time but didn't say why.

A few girls cried and cried, but they didn't see the shadows of Linz and Lin Chong, and even Lu Beibei didn't know where they went, Ming Ruonan immediately realized that something was wrong at home.

"Don't worry, speak slowly."

Ma Tuan sniffled and said, "I'll go to the Bazhen Pavilion to find Beibei and come back, we can't tell clearly." ”

"Tangyuan runs fast, Tangyuan, you go."

It didn't take long for them to intermittently explain the matter. The day before yesterday, a gang of officials suddenly came, with a holy decree, saying that they were going to search for something, turning the house into a mess, and they also said a bunch of inexplicable words, what kind of crime committed by King Yu, he should have been punished, but he remembered the past merits of the princess, and only the King of Yu was imprisoned.

"What crime has you committed? To put a prince in prison? ”

Ming Ruonan frowned, and suddenly had a bad conjecture in her heart.

Just about to ask, Lu Beibei came back, the little boy, his brows were not spread, and the moment he saw Ming Ruonan, he alternated guilt and self-blame, and almost cried directly. With tears in his eyes, he said aggrievedly to Ming Ruonan: "Young master, it's me...... I didn't protect my uncle, you can punish me! ”
