Three days later, Qingyuan

When Xi'er entered Qingyuan with the toiletry, Ji Qiang was already dressing up.

"Huh? Miss, why did you get up so early today? ”

Ji Qiang didn't answer Xi'er's words, and asked instead, "A few days ago, I asked you to help me find someone to make the silver needle?" ”

Xi'er hurriedly put down the basin in her hand, took out the wrapped silver needle from her sleeve, and handed it to Ji Qiang, "I went to get it early this morning." ”

Ji Qiang nodded, took the silver needle, in the past few days, in addition to thinking about how to test the second aunt, she was studying books about poisonous Gu in the house.

She knew that it was not easy to get Zhao Qiao to teach her the art of poisoning Gu, if it wasn't for Xia Jingnian's guarantee, maybe she wouldn't even have the chance to see Zhao Qiao in her life.

So she only has this one chance, she must let Zhao Qiao willingly accept her as an apprentice, she must learn these skills to be able to strengthen herself and protect the people she wants to protect.

"Xi'er, prepare two carriages for me in a while, and find two clever guards in the personal guards that my father gave me, and drive the carriage for me." Ji Qiang put away the silver needle, took the last hairpin, and said.

In the past few days, Ji Qiang either went to Xuange to see Ji Yang, or stayed in the courtyard to read some strange books, she was still thinking about how to trick Miss into going out to relax today, but she didn't think that she was going out, Xi'er was very happy, and immediately ordered.

As soon as Ji Qiang arrived at the flower garden in the west of the city, she saw Xia Jingnian standing not far away with his hands behind his back.

He is still dressed in a purple dress that has not changed for thousands of years, and the breeze gently blows the hem of Xia Jingnian's clothes, coupled with the color of the garden, it looks like an ink painting, which makes people can't bear to disturb.

Ji Qiang walked slowly towards Xia Jingnian, a foot away from him, Xia Jingnian turned around and looked at Ji Qiang, thin lips and white teeth, smart apricot eyes, for some reason, Xia Jingnian felt that it was better to look better if she hadn't seen her for three days.

"The king didn't bring a guard." After saying that, Xia Jingnian turned around and walked towards the flower garden first.

Ji Qiang raised her eyebrows, looked at the two guards behind her, and said, "You don't have to follow. After that, he followed Xia Jingnian.

Xia Jingnian is handsome, in just six words, she can actually understand what she wants to say, but few people can keep up with her own thinking.

Ji Qiang had some difficulty following Xia Jingnian, Xia Jingnian seemed to feel that he was walking a little faster, and gradually slowed down, waiting for Ji Qiang to follow, and said, "Don't bring a personal guard?" ”

It was still a little difficult to follow Xia Jingnian, and suddenly he could walk side by side, how could Ji Qiang, who had always been careful, not know that Xia Jingnian had slowed down, this action gave Ji Qiang a good impression.

The corners of Ji Qiang's mouth curled slightly, and said, "If the prince wants to kill me, you don't have to go to such great lengths to trick me here, besides, how can the two personal guards I bring be the opponent of the prince." ”

He didn't see the wrong person, I don't know why he didn't look at the major ladies in the capital very well, but this Song Guogong's eldest lady, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

"It's also your luck, Zhao Qiao's old man's whereabouts are secretive, it's usually difficult for me to find him, but today is the fifth day of the sixth month, he will definitely come here, but it is also the day he doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders."

Ji Qiang raised her eyebrows, "Why?" ”

"Remembering people."

Xia Jingnian never explained the reason to others, but this time he explained it to Ji Qiang, and even he didn't find out that this time he didn't call himself the king when he talked to Ji Qiang.

After walking for about half a pillar of incense, Ji Qiang saw an old man with half a hundred hair not far away, leaning on the tombstone on the side, holding a wine jug, sleeping soundly.

When Xia Jingnian and the others were only three feet away from the old man, the old man suddenly spoke, "Stinky boy, don't you know that today, the old man doesn't want to see anyone, you still bring a little doll, do you want to be angry with me?" ”

As he spoke, the old man pursed his lips, his eyes still not open, but his hand holding the bottle tightened.

"A jar of osmanthus stuffed."

The old man opened half of his eyes and looked at Xia Jingnian, then turned around with his mouth pouted again, and continued to sleep.

Xia Jingnian smiled evilly, "Three jars of osmanthus brewing." ”

The old man's eyes rolled and he stood up, "And use wine to coax me, a little old man, to tell me what will make you look for me today." ”

"She wants to learn the art of poison Gu."

"Oh? It's because this female doll wants to learn the art of poison Gu, so you brought her to me? ”

Xia Jingnian nodded noncommittally, which made the old man not calm, and walked around Xia Jingnian several times, confirming that this was indeed Xia Jingnian several times!

Looking at the appearance of the two, the fool knows that Xia Jingnian has a lot to do with the old man in front of him, not to mention Ji Qiang, who has always been smart, and the little old man in front of him is very likely to be the rumored Zhao Qiao.

"Little girl Ji Qiang, I also ask Senior Zhao to teach." Ji Qiang bowed generously towards Zhao Qiaoluo.

Zhao Qiao scratched the back of his head, walked around Ji Qiang a few more times, and finally looked at Xia Jingnian, "This girl has no other characteristics except for being a little smart, why do you want to bring her here and let her worship me as a teacher." ”

Xia Jingnian smiled evilly, "No, I didn't let her worship you as a teacher." ”

Ji Qiang frowned slightly, sure enough, she still couldn't understand what Xia Jingnian was thinking.

Hearing Xia Jingnian's words, Zhao Qiao laughed a few times, and hurriedly asked, "Let's just say that you, an iron tree that has not bloomed for 10,000 years, how can you be so good to a female doll, what are you going to do, bring it to me to practice poison and play." ”

Hearing that Zhao Qiao was going to use Ji Qiang to practice poison, Xia Jingnian frowned, "I asked you to teach her the art of poison Gu, but I didn't plan to let you be her master." ”

"Ahh What did you say! It's not enough to teach her, or is it a white teaching, can't even shout the master? Zhao Qiao was not calm now, and Ji Qiang was also taken aback.

"It's not a white sect, I should pay your tuition, and three jars of osmanthus are brewed." Compared with Zhao Qiao's uncalmness, Xia Jingnian was very calm, as if he just said what he ate last night.

"Don't teach, don't teach, don't teach ten jars of osmanthus brewing, it's too much of a loss, and I don't even call the master." Zhao Qiao waved his hand.

The corners of Xia Jingnian's mouth were slightly hooked, giving Ji Qiang a look, Ji Qiang smiled lightly, and slowly stepped forward. "Then Senior Zhao has to ask me to apprentice before he is willing to teach me the art of poison Gu?"

Zhao Qiao glanced at Ji Qiang and snorted, "That's right!" ”

As soon as Zhao Qiao's words fell, Ji Qiang suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed, "Ji Qiang also asks Master to be taught!" ”

Xia Jingnian pulled up Ji Qiang with one hand, and then said lightly, "I also bowed, the master also shouted, and the ten jars of osmanthus brew were also given to you, and the benefits were all taken up for you, and you still don't teach?" ”

"Teach, teach! It's rare that you will allow me to brew ten jars of osmanthus flowers, and there are ......" Before the words were finished, Zhao Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "Ah, stinky boy, you are tricking the old man again." ”

"Yes, the reaction was a little quicker this time." Xia Jingnian still has a calm and breezy face, and he is not affected by Zhao Qiao at all.
