Seeing Zhuge Liuying coming alone, Xiao Rui was a little shy.

There is no way, in addition to practicing martial arts in the past few days, it is in Zhuge Liuying or Zhang Ruoxi, and now there is one more Li Ruoxue who is daydreaming on the road of choice, and not being shy shows that his face is as thick as a city wall.

"Miss Zhuge came early in the morning, what is the matter?" Xiao Rui asked.

When Zhuge Liuying saw Xiao Rui, she couldn't take her eyes off, because she was shocked to find that the Seven Princes in front of her had undergone earth-shaking changes from a month ago, especially for those who practiced martial arts, this change could be seen best, because this was a transformation from the inside out.

"Look at the move!"

Zhuge Liuying suddenly drank, stretched out his palm and slapped Xiao Rui's door, which frightened Xiao Rui to retreat immediately, and at the same time stretched out his foot and kicked her wrist, widening the distance.

But Zhuge Liuying followed, and the slender fingers of his right hand turned into sharp claws, grabbing Xiao Rui's throat.

"Good time!" Xiao Rui has been practicing knives for the past few days, and his skills are rusty, so he pulled out the wooden knife on his waist and slashed directly at the claws he caught. Zhuge Liuying didn't dare to touch hard, his body flickered and dodged, and his left hand turned into a palm knife, opening and closing left and right.

Xiao Rui's wooden knife cut vertically, slashing at Zhuge Liuying's chest, but was slashed by the back of the knife with her left palm knife, changing direction, and then her right hand was cold, directly tearing apart his chest and clothes.

But Xiao Rui dealt with it calmly, and the wooden knife that changed direction was picked up from the bottom, so that Zhuge Liuying had to move to the side, but Xiao Rui's footsteps moved, and he chased in an instant, and the wooden knife cut horizontally and slashed at Zhuge Liuying's neck.

This knife is fast and swift, and the killing is decisive.

Zhuge Liuying secretly shouted in his heart, "It's good", and immediately leaned back to dodge the cross-cutting knife, and at the same time raised his right foot and kicked Xiao Rui in the chest.

Xiao Rui snorted secretly, and his body took a few steps back before stopping.

"You have actually reached the realm of a first-class martial artist? How can it be! Zhuge Liuying's eyes were scorching, staring at Xiao Rui.

She has been carefully taught by the champion Hou since she was twelve years old, and it took three years to enter the first-grade realm, but what about Xiao Rui? The muscles and bones are basically solidified, and they can still greet spring like rotten wood, revealing branches, how can this not surprise her?

Xiao Rui was a little proud and bragged: "Maybe I'm talented, and I haven't practiced before, so I'm buried." ”

Zhuge Liuying actually believed his routine, nodded seriously, and said, "Very likely!" Your Highness, you really surprise me. Looks like I came to you right. ”

"What are you looking for me?" Xiao Rui invited Zhuge Liuying into the house and asked casually.

Zhuge Liuying said eagerly: "Put my business aside for the time being, I see that although your sword technique is decisive, but because of your beginner and lack of actual combat experience, your teacher teaches you not to be presumptuous, and you lack the essence." Why don't I accompany you to practice knives? ”

It is true that Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang were afraid of hurting him when they taught Xiao Rui's sword technique, but the real good martial arts are sharpened from life and death.

"How do you practice knives?" Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

Zhuge Liuying said with a smile: "Naturally, it is a murderous practice, if you have not killed anyone, the knife technique lacks murderous energy, and it is a trick." ”

"Uh..."Xiao Rui hesitated a little: "Who are you killing?" ”

"Naturally, it's not about killing ordinary people." Zhuge Liuying said: "You misunderstood, I said murder for the imperial court to exterminate bandits and bandits." ”

Xiao Rui then understood, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's my misunderstanding." However, there are no bandits and bandits in the land of Gyeonggi, and they have all been exterminated by the Marquis of Zhongyong. ”

"So I have to go a little farther, I know that there is a small bandit den nearby, more than 20 people, doing the work of cutting the path, because I am familiar with the local terrain, the local yamen and the unity soldiers have repeatedly encircled and suppressed, I have long wanted to go, let's travel lightly, back and forth for three or four days." Zhuge Liuying said excitedly: "It's just up to you to practice, and you can also help me with advice on the way and teach me how to form a female espionage job." ”

Xiao Rui understood Zhuge Liuying's purpose for coming to him early in the morning, and he had to admire this woman's persistence. At the same time, I was very impressed by her suggestion, and it was indeed a good idea to practice knives with bandits. It's just that he went out of the city rashly, and if Emperor Xia knew about it, he would definitely be punished.

Just when Xiao Rui hesitated, the prompt sound in his mind sounded again.

"Ding-dong... New quests are enabled. ”

"New task: Exterminate the small group of bandits outside Qiuyang County, one hundred and fifty miles west of the capital, the task requirements: must be completed by the host and Zhuge Liuying, not with the help of other forces, for five days. Advent value +20 for task completion, 40 for mission failure. Current Advent Value: 40/100. ”

Hesitate? Is Xiao Rui a hesitant person? If you don't even eat while it's hot, then what else can you achieve in life! Forehead... Do it all over again.

If you don't even struggle early, then what can you achieve in life!

Xiao Rui asked, "Let's go now." ”

"Okay!" Zhuge Liuying likes decisive people: "I'll go home immediately and arrange horses, and you wait for me at the house for a while." ”

Gao Quan on the side looked confused, and it was too late to stop it.

Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang looked at each other, and the prince went to exterminate the bandits, how did he think it was inappropriate. The two looked at Jia Xu, but saw Jia Xu shaking his head, asking the two not to stop him, and Jia Xu said: "Miss Zhuge , it is better to prepare one more horse and let Wu Zhanfa follow, after all, the safety of His Royal Highness must be small, and nothing can happen." He just escorted the protection. ”

"Good!" After Zhuge Liuying finished speaking, he left immediately.

Xiao Rui looked at Jia Xu and asked, "I still have to trouble Mr. at home to help cover up, it's best not to let my father know." ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Highness will set off from the back door, and there is a forbidden army arranged by His Majesty outside the mansion. Since Your Highness is going, I will definitely solve your worries for Your Highness. ”

"With Mr. here, I'm naturally relieved."

Sure enough, as Zhuge Liuying said, she went back as soon as she went, and brought back two more good horses.

Xiao Rui and Wu Zhanfa changed into ordinary linen clothes and left through the back door, and then the two rode out of the city and rushed towards Qiuyang County.

In the evening of the same day, the three of them came to Qiuyang County.

Looking at the simple folk customs and simple houses, the county town has changed the prosperity and liveliness of the capital, full of tranquility and slow pace, which makes Xiao Rui extremely uncomfortable.

The three of them dismounted and walked around the county street, this was the first time Xiao Rui walked out of the capital and appreciated the outside world, everything was so fresh.

I chose a tavern, and the three of them tied their horses to dinner, and ordered four special side dishes and a pound of water and wine.

"Your Highness, we'll inquire about the bandits' whereabouts later, and start tracking down the specific location of the bandits tomorrow, okay?" Zhuge Liuying asked.

Xiao Rui said: "Okay, but when you go out, you don't need to call me Your Highness, be careful to expose your identity, it's better to call him by his name, you call me Xiao Rui, I call you Liuying." ”

"Good!" Zhuge Liuying was not pretentious, and immediately agreed.

Wu Zhanfa sat quietly on the side, and he said that he was a tethered horse pillar on this trip, and he couldn't make a move unless he had to.

Soon, side dishes and drinks arrived.
