Chapter 22: Ingratitude
"Nonsense?" Ah Jing suddenly calmed down and put the knife in her sheath.
The princess is now dressed as a man and has ugly makeup, so it should not be easy to spot. In addition, Lord Qin is not small, she can't be offended.
Seeing that she didn't fight, Ying Haoyan said: "That's right, your grandfather can't stand the anger, you still don't know this." ”
remembered that he stepped on his master's foot before, and sighed in his heart.

dining room
"Is the assassin really dead?" Fence Luo glanced at the dishes on the table and didn't move his chopsticks, "What's the reason?" ”
"Not hungry?" Qin Yemian was not as good as she wanted, and ate by herself.
Glancing at him, she picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites randomly, and said while eating, "What is the reason?" ”
The man ignored him and continued to eat slowly.
When he was almost finished, he suddenly said, "If I say he was trampled to death······ ”
"Ahem, ahem····· No way! Fence almost choked on the food in his mouth and coughed violently.
Seeing that she was coughing badly and was anxious to find a solution, her whole face swelled into the color of pig liver, and a flash of schadenfreude flashed in the man's eyes.
"Was it really trampled to death?" Finally stopping her cough, she asked eagerly.
"What's wrong with the face?" Qin Yemian replied to the question, and there was a hint of narrowness in his eyes. The mole at the corner of his mouth was found missing.
"Leave my face alone, just ask you if the assassin was trampled to death?" She's only interested in this now, and she doesn't care about what is shameless.
"What do you say?" The man did not answer the rhetorical question.
"How do I know!" She gave him a blank look, "You just said you were trampled to death?" ”
"Yes····· And how? "The man is deliberately ambiguous.
"If yes, it means ······." Halfway through his words, he immediately stopped talking.
I thought, yes, it means that my feet are very good! With a little practice, becoming a "shadowless foot" is just around the corner.
Thinking like this, my heart fluttered. I can't help but begin to fantasize about the future as a picture of a sect of grandmasters being admired.
The man didn't tell her that the Assassin had been seriously injured during the chase and fight. That kick was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Seeing that she kept staring at her feet silly, he couldn't help but tease: "What's wrong with your feet?" ”
"Feet?" Startled, Fence Fall hurriedly lowered his feet under the table.
"Hehehe····· It's nothing? She wouldn't tell him that she had stepped on that kick!
"My lord, isn't the man's place very fragile?" She felt a little incredible.
"Where?" Qin Yemian pretended not to understand.
"Is it a serious injury?" Knowingly, she thought to herself.
"Why do you ask me, you don't know." He teased her, with an unfathomable expression.
"Hehehe······· Yes, yes, I am a man, so I naturally know. Fence touched his nose in embarrassment.
I thought, Mom! Almost a goof.
After that, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. He only bowed his head vigorously to eat, not daring to look at the man again.
Because the man's eyes were deep and incomprehensible, she felt like she was on pins and needles.

After the meal, the group planned to go back, but they didn't expect the carriage and the coachman to run away.
"Why don't we prepare our own carriage?" The fence was very angry, the money was paid, and the people ran away.
"It's time to buy one." Lan Xin said.
"It's going to rain, what should I do?" A-Jing was anxious.
"Go inside and borrow one!" The fence fell and pointed to the official post. I thought to myself, there must be a lot of carriages in it.
"Yes." Ah Jing was ordered to leave quickly.
Soon, she and Shadow came out in a carriage.
"Ah Ligongzi, I just went out to run errands, I can give you a ride."
"Thanks!" Several people quickly got into the carriage.
I didn't go far when there was a sudden strong wind outside the carriage, and I heard the wind carrying sand and gravel on the carriage, making a "crackling" sound.
Especially when passing through the alley, the low roar is like the theme song of the gloomy ghost cry in the TV series of Strange Tales of Liaozhai, which makes people frightened by the "wind".
After that, there was a downpour, which poured down fiercely like the heavenly river had burst its banks, as if it was about to drain the vicissitudes ······of the world.
Fortunately, they left the post station in time, otherwise they were afraid that they would not be able to leave, and the hedge-down was glad that the coachman had run away, and they changed to a carriage.
At least it won't be ruined while walking, and the three of them will become little ghosts in seconds and go directly to the Lord of Yama to report for duty, wouldn't it be a tragedy.
And now the one they are sitting in, wrapped in mahogany from the inside out, is not only high-end and high-grade, but also has a very good sealing, not to mention that there is no leakage at all in the rain.
The interior of the car is even more exquisite, and there is a faint fragrance of tea under the careful smell, a familiar smell that makes her feel particularly at ease.
Under the swaying, the fence actually felt a little sleepy.
Could this carriage be his? Who is he? Is it a relative of the imperial family······? Before she fell asleep in a daze, she had a lot of question marks in her head.
The carriage struggled through the wind and rain and took longer than ever to arrive.
By the time the storm had subsided.
"It's here, Lady Fence." Shadow stopped the carriage and immediately said respectfully.
"Shadow Guard, when have you adults decided to leave?" Instead of getting out of the car, he poked his head out to talk to him.
According to Li'er, they have not yet received the order to leave.
"I don't know this, everything must be arranged by the master."
"Oh, that's it!" Fence Luo thought for a moment and said, "Then you can go!" ”
"Ah Li, be careful of your step." Shadow jumped out of the carriage and asked him to come down. I thought, if he doesn't come down, how will he go? Be all abroad!
"No, no." Liluo hurriedly grabbed Ah Jing and Lan Xin, who wanted to get out of the car, and handed them the reins.
"You go back first! I'll borrow the carriage for a while. After speaking, he told Ah Jing to leave quickly.
"No······!" Before the shadow could finish his words, he saw the carriage slip into the inn.
He wanted to say that the carriage was the master's favorite, and that he could not lend it to them.
But he could only say this to the air, because the door had been closed.
The shadow wanted to cry without tears, and stood alone in the wind. I stood for a long time, until my body was almost fossilized, and then I left angrily.

inn
"Are we going to do this?" Lan Xin said while fetching water to wash the princess.
She always thought they were ungrateful.
"It's just a few days of borrowing." Fence Fall didn't think it was a big deal.
"Will the shadow guards be punished when they go back?" Thinking of Lord Qin's cold appearance, she was a little worried.
"Not if you have a little brain, if it's an elm pimple, then it's a different matter."
"What do you mean?" Lan Xin didn't understand.
"You see, one, we are friends with the princess. Second, there are more people than him, and third, we borrowed the car and didn't say that we wouldn't pay it back. Either of these can be easily passed. ”
"Then this carriage, when will we return him?"
"Why don't we leave for the Faint City tomorrow! And then how about making an identical car? ”
Fence decided to go early, so that she could spend a few more days in the city and also leave plenty of time for the custom carriage.
"Great, the city has a reputation for good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River!" With that, she happily ran to pack her bags.
"What's the matter, I'm preoccupied." Seeing that Ah Jing's face was unusual, she couldn't help but ask.
"Princess······." Ah Jing hesitated, "The slave doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”
"Didn't you say you wouldn't talk like that? Are you ······ Blame me for stealing the shadow guard's carriage? "It's a bit nerve-wracking.
Because Ah Jing only spoke to her respectfully when she felt that the situation was serious.
"No, princess·····." Ah Jing hesitated and didn't know what to say.
She felt that the matter was much more serious than snatching a carriage or something. Besides, the carriage has already been robbed, and it is too late to say anything.
"What's that? You say, I don't blame you. "As long as she doesn't talk like that, she can say anything.
Ah Jing thought for a while and said, "Ah Li, how can you hold the hand of an adult·····?" You're a princess, and you're about to be betrothed to the crown prince. ······ If today's events are introduced into the palace by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable, do you know? ”
"No one knows that I'm a woman, and even if someone knows, I'm not afraid, isn't there still a pity? What's more, it's too early to say what is not allowed. ”
In fact, to put it mildly, she is just someone else's blind date, what is there to worry about!
"Ahh·····h A-Jing really wanted to be angry with her, "This is not a question of whether or not to give it to the prince, but a question of whether men and women are allowed to kiss or not." ”
"Got it, got it. I'll be sure to pay attention to the head office next time! ”
A-Jing looked like the sky was about to fall, which made it difficult for her to argue with her. I can only remind myself that this is ancient times, and I must follow the customs of the locals.
"Rest early!" Seeing her compromise, A-Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the face of an ignorant princess, it is really difficult to kill her to protect her and teach her.

The shadow who waited outside the master's door all night with trepidation, his mind was as messy as paste.
He didn't know how to explain to his master that the carriage had been lost.
At the same time, I was also annoyed by my performance last night, and I felt too bad.
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of breaking in the room, and he immediately pushed the door in.
"Master, are you awake?" He saw that his master was about to get dressed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"What's the matter?". Seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped looking very different from his usual calm temperament, Qin Yemian couldn't help but ask.
"Master, last night······· I've met bandits. Shadow was a little ashamed.
"Bandits?" When there were bandits in the mountain city, how did he not know.
"Yes! Your beloved carriage has been robbed. And it was easy to be robbed, Ying added silently in his heart.
"Bandits who hijacked the carriage?" You heard that right! What robbers are so weird?
Especially Ying's expression at this time was very interesting, the whole face was stinky, and he was a little interested.
