Chapter 45: Little Tiger is persistent
Shui Ling'er broke free of him, took two or three steps back, and shouted, "I don't want it."
Ziyi, who came in with tea, hurriedly put down the tea set and attacked Xiaohu.
Xiaohu dodged around, and when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he shouted, "Da Maomi, one day, you will come with me." After all, they and Situ Jing are people from different worlds.
Xiaohu escaped from Caiwei Pavilion, and Ziyi wanted to chase after him, but Shui Ling'er grabbed his arm, and Shui Ling'er said, "Don't chase."
Ziyi said worriedly, "Madam, did he do anything to you?"
"Nope."
Shui Ling'er climbed onto the bed and squatted, clasped her knees with her hands, rested her head on the back of her hands, and said, "He is Xiaohu, my childhood sweetheart, don't tell Brother Jing." She didn't want him to worry.
Seeing Shui Ling'er's sad expression, Ziyi didn't ask any more questions.
When Situ Jing came back, even if Ziyi didn't say it, Shui Ling'er's depression made Situ Jing suspicious, and Ziyi had to tell Situ Jing about Xiaohu.
In the study, Situ Jing said unhappily, "As long as I don't pay attention, I want to take Shui Ling'er away."
Fang Yu knew what Situ Jing was thinking, and said, "King Jing, the emperor sent you to send troops to annihilate Yanhou's private army on a certain day, don't delay it because of Shui Ling'er's matter."
Situ Jing knew the seriousness of the matter, but he was worried that Xiaohu would come to find Shui Ling'er again, although he had sent someone to look for Xiaohu's traces, but he didn't find it.
Fang Yu said again: "King Jing, why don't we send troops during this time, let Shui Ling'er follow Shui Wuxi, Shui Wuxian will take care of her, and she will not be robbed by Xiaohu."
Situ Jing was silent for a moment, and said, "This is a good way, and Shui Wuxian wants to go to the goods of the business under the Chu State Lane, just so that he can take Shui Ling'er to play, and when they return to Daliang, we will also move back to the court."
"Exactly."
At night, Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er sat on the big rock next to the stream, and Shui Ling'er and Situ Jing both soaked in the stream barefoot.
Situ Jing said slowly: "Shui Ling'er, I want to send troops to fight, during my absence, you can be safe."
Shui Ling'er hooked Situ Jing's neck with her hand, and said confidently, "Brother Jing, don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble during your absence."
Situ Jing smiled bitterly, the more she said this, the more uneasy he became, and he said, "During the time I was away, you and Shui Wuxian went to Chu to play."
Shui Ling'er hugged Situ Jing, although she was happy to go to Chu to play, but she was very reluctant to see Situ Jing for a long time.
Situ Jing knew that she was reluctant, so he hugged Shui Ling'er and said, "What about the fingers that Fang Yu gave you before?"
Shui Ling'er got up and ran back to the room to get it, Situ Jing took the finger, took out the silver chain and put it on Shui Ling'er's neck, he said, "If you miss me, write to me, as long as there is the imprint of this finger pattern, the letter can be delivered to me."
"Okay."
The next day, Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er were preparing to get into the carriage in front of the palace, Rong Ye saw that they interacted so affectionately, as if she was an outsider, she saluted respectfully and said, "I wish the prince and my sister a safe journey." Even the two of them didn't want to take her there if they wanted to go out to play.
Situ nodded, he didn't tell Rong Ye the truth, he just felt troublesome.
Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er got into the carriage one after another, Rong Ye watched the carriage leave in front of the palace for a while, and after she waited for Steward Chen to enter the palace, she said to the little girl on the side: "Go and prepare the horses, we will follow them."
Xiao Rou said with a difficult face: "But, the princess..." If the prince finds out, he will not spare the princess easily.
Rong Ye said impatiently, "Go quickly!"
"Yes."
A few hours later, the carriage stopped at the intersection outside Liang Guocheng, and Shui Wuxian had already stood there waiting for a long time.
Situ Jing and Shui Ling got out of the carriage one after another, and Shui Ling'er said reluctantly, "Brother Jing."
Situ Jing said with a smile, "Don't mess around, don't make trouble for Shui Wuxi."
"No." Shui Ling'er hugged Situ Jing for a long time before letting go.
Situ Jing respectfully said to Shui Wuxi, "I'm sorry for you."
Shui Wuxian nodded his head and said, "Don't worry, she is my sister, I will take care of her."
"Thank you."
Shui Wuxian looked at Situ Jing, squinted at Fang Yu standing behind him, and was still cold to him, and only when he hugged him, did he have the enthusiastic side.
They each got into carriages, and Shui Wuji's convoy headed in the direction of Chu, while Situ Jing's convoy headed towards the south of the imperial capital.
Rong Ye, who was some distance away from them, was riding on a horse, his heart was full of doubts, but no one could ask.
The little judo beside her said, "Princess, who are we going to follow?"
Rong Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's follow the prince's convoy." Now that Shui Ling'er is not by Situ Jing's side, she has a chance.
On the convoy of Chu State, Shui Ling'er and Shui Wuxian sat opposite each other, staring at each other for a long time, and Shui Ling'er sighed, "I miss Brother Jing so much."
Shui Wuxian said coldly, "It's only been a long time."
Shui Ling'er turned her head and leaned on the window to watch, and she felt bored with the water without a trace.
Shui Wuxian looked at the weather outside the window and said, "Are you going out for horseback riding?"
Shui Ling'er said happily, "Yes."
Half an hour later, Shui Wuxian and Shui Ling'er rode towards the road in the direction of Chu State, and Shui Ling'er said happily, "Brother, what are you going to do in Chu State?"
Shui Wuxian rode beside her and said, "Deal with the business of the Black Plum Gang, when you arrive in the Chu Kingdom, don't run around, follow me." There are people in the Chu State who are not good for the Black Plum Gang, and he is worried that those who hide in the shadows will be bad for Shui Ling'er.
Shui Ling'er didn't pay attention to it at all, and said, "Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen men in black quickly pounced.
The guards of the Black Plum Gang drew their swords one after another to resist the attack of the man in black, and the scene suddenly became a mess.
Shui Wuxian walked quickly to Shui Ling'er's side, but she had already been pulled off the horse by one of the black-clothed men, and Shui Wuxian struck at the black-clothed man with a palm, pulling Shui Ling'er behind her to protect her.
Shui Wuxian drew his knife and was about to attack the man in black, but Shui Ling'er grabbed the hand holding the knife, and Shui Ling'er said excitedly, "Brother, don't kill him."
Shui Wuxian frowned, he put down the knife and knocked the man in black to the ground, the weakness of his martial arts made him despise, and he even dared to attack him the Black Plum Gang.
The rest of the men in black ran over, grabbed the man in black who had been defeated, and ran to the woods not far away.
Shui Wuji shouted, "Get them all back."
Shui Ling'er shouted excitedly, "Don't."
Shui Wuxian said sternly, "Do you know the man in black?"
Shui Ling'er said with a weak heart: "I don't know."
Shui Wuxian saw through her lying at a glance, and he stared at her unhappily for a long time.
Shui Ling'er still kept her mouth closed, and she glared back at him not to be outdone.
Shui Wuxian said angrily, "You give me back to the carriage." He grabbed her and threw her directly into the carriage, while he sat in the groom's position and guarded her, not letting her come out, and he said, "You are not honest, let you stay in the carriage today until the inn." If he didn't know who the enemy was, he couldn't protect himself in advance.
