Chapter 14 Simple and simple

At night, in the main hall of King Jing's Mansion, Shui Ling'er dined with Situ Jing and Fang Yu for the first time, usually she dined with Xiaohu and Ah Jiu and other soldiers, eating and drinking, heroic and straightforward.

But now, Fang Yu asked her to sit in a proper posture, Situ Jing sat opposite her and stared at her, making her uncomfortable, she couldn't help but shake her feet, Fang Yu frowned, and said, "Shui Ling'er, girls can't shake their feet, even if they are men now, they are ugly, and they can't be on the hall of elegance."

Shui Ling'er said helplessly, "Suffocate me." Although she stopped shaking her feet, her body writhed like an insect.

Situ Jing said with a serious expression, "Stop!" Faced with Shui Ling'er, a rude woman who had been taught rudely, he had to lure her to make her willing to learn etiquette obediently, he said, "Shui Ling'er, is there anything you want?" This is the fastest way to buy hearts and minds.

Shui Ling'er grew up in a cottage village since she was a child, although she is not rich, but she is also well-fed, simple and simple, she is very satisfied with everything she has now, so she wants nothing that does not belong to her.

Fang Yu saw that Shui Ling'er thought for a moment and still couldn't answer, if it was an ordinary woman, she would have asked for gold, silver, jewelry, or rare playthings, but she didn't ask for anything, which was rare.

But she is King Jing's intended person, even if he has a heart, it is not feasible, so he can only back down and send blessings.

Fang Yu chuckled and said, "Shui Ling'er, you think slowly, as long as you do a good job of the etiquette and things that King Jing should have, King Jing will definitely give you what you want, no time limit."

Shui Ling'er really couldn't think of it, so she could only nod her head and agree.

After dinner, Fang Yu's mouth in her ear never stopped, saying that she had to chew slowly, and said that she couldn't make a sound when she ate, and Situ Jing looked at her with a serious face, as if he wanted to see her through, which really made her eat unsatisfied.

After finishing the meal, the emergency military situation came to report, Situ Jing and Fang Yu discussed in the study, Shui Ling'er felt bored and went to the backyard to find Xiaohu and Ah Jiu.

Xiaohu saw Shui Ling'er, and after looking back and forth to make sure that she was the only one, he grabbed her hand and said, "Da Mao Ni, let's not stay here anymore, go back to the cottage village, even if your body can't be replaced, it doesn't matter, I will take care of you for the rest of your life." After speaking, she pulled Shui Ling'er and walked towards the door, but she shook off his hand.

Shui Ling'er remembered Situ Jing's worried expression when he couldn't change his body, she couldn't bear it, she said, "I have to exchange my body with King Jing, and King Jing wants to marry me."

Xiaohu said excitedly, "Da Mao Mu, why are you so easy to deceive? What kind of person is King Jing? He is a high-ranking prince, a royal family, and you are just a commoner woman in a small cottage village, he wants to marry you, it is just a temporary freshness, and when he arrives in the imperial capital, he can be worthy of him is a woman of the royal family and nobles, and when you don't even wear a wedding dress, he will marry someone else."

What Xiaohu said was not unreasonable, Shui Ling'er couldn't help but panic and said, "Brother Jing won't lie to me."

Xiaohu pulled Shui Ling'er and said sternly, "Come with me, instead of waiting for you to be hurt, let me take care of you for the rest of your life." Ignoring Shui Ling'er's wishes, he forcibly pulled her in the direction of the door.

Although Shui Ling'er struggled, her strength was not as strong as Xiaohu's, and she was half-pulled and half-pulled towards the door.

Xiaohu frowned tightly and said, "Da Mao Mu, this is what you forced me on." After speaking, he knocked Shui Ling'er unconscious with one palm.

He dragged her body to the door, found a carriage, and after putting Shui Ling'er in the carriage, he drove the carriage away.

The world is so vast, he wants to find a place where no one knows them, and start over with Shui Ling'er.

In the study room of King Jing's Mansion, Fang Yu summoned all the people above the general level to hold a meeting.

The generals sat on both sides according to their ranks, Fang Yu stood in the middle to explain that the front line of the Chu State army was menacing, while Situ Jing was standing behind the curtain in the study and listening.

Steward Chen quietly walked up to him and whispered, "Miss Shui Ling'er, I have searched up and down King Jing's Mansion several times, but there is no trace of King Jing."

Situ Jing nodded lightly, and said in the same low voice, "You send more people to look for it outside."

"Yes."

After Situ Jing saw Steward Chen leaving, he cursed secretly, where did Shui Ling'er go at this critical time? She must take his place and lead the army into battle.

After Fang Yu finished explaining, he didn't see Shui Ling'er come in for a long time, he walked behind the curtain worriedly, and said to Situ Jing, "King Jing, hasn't Shui Ling'er come in yet?"

Situ Jing said coldly, "She's gone."

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and then regained his composure, "King Jing, what should I do next?"

Situ Jing said sternly: "Order all the generals to reassemble their troops and camp at the border first, and you will lead them."

"Yes."

An hour later, all the people in the army were fully equipped, Fang Yu put on a suit of armor and walked to Situ Jing, who was standing at the door and looked out, he said respectfully, "King Jing, it's time to go."

Situ Jing turned from his original anger to worry, and the little tiger in the mansion was nowhere to be seen, he must be with Shui Ling'er, he had sent Ah Jiu out to find it, but there was no news coming back for a long time.

But it was important to defend the beam, and he couldn't delay, so he said to Steward Chen, "If King Jing comes back, send him to the place where our army is camped immediately, and if there is any news, send someone to report it."

"Yes."

A few hours later, the steep slope of the road woke up Shui Ling'er lying in the carriage.

At this time, Xiaohu's carriage had reached the border of the next state, and after he found an inn, he said to Shui Ling'er in the carriage, "Da Mao Mu, we will spend the night here tonight."

Shui Ling'er was still in a state of drowsiness, and said weakly, "I want to go back." Situ Jing will be angry when he finds out that she is gone.

Xiaohu walked into the carriage, fed her a pill, and said, "Sleep well, don't think about anything else."

Shui Ling'er didn't have time to ask him what kind of pill he gave her, so she fell asleep.

In the next few days, Shui Ling'er was half-asleep and half-awake, she was awakened by the bump of the carriage, after waking up, Xiaohu fed her medicine, and let her fall asleep again, back and forth several times, she no longer knew whether it was day or night outside the carriage.

Until Shui Ling'er woke up for the last time, what she saw was not Xiaohu, but Ah Jiu, and she said weakly, "Ah Jiu, why are you here?"

Ah Jiu saw her wake up, so he went to the front of the carriage to drive the carriage, and he said, "It was I who snatched the carriage while Xiaohu was not paying attention, I have already driven the carriage through a county and city, and Xiaohu can't catch up."

King Jing sent him out to find Shui Ling'er, he found them on the first day after looking for the track left by the carriage, he thought that Shui Ling'er voluntarily followed Xiaohu away, but he hid in the dark and found that Xiaohu kept feeding Shui Ling'er medicine, and Shui Ling'er always fell asleep, obviously Xiaohu forcibly took her away.

If he stepped forward to question Xiaohu, not only would he not be able to take away the sleeping Shui Ling'er, but he might also have a big fight with Xiaohu, although Xiaohu was not his opponent, he didn't want to hurt him.

Shui Ling'er's spirit gradually recovered, and she said to Ah Jiu, who was driving the carriage, "Where are we going?"

"On the border of Daliang, King Jing's army is at war with the army of Chu, you use King Jing's body, you must hurry up to join the army, otherwise the army's heart is easy to turbulent."

Shui Ling'er is just a little female thief, the war has never had anything to do with her, and now she has to face it, and she can't help but be afraid, but her body is Situ Jing's, and before the body is changed back, she must replace him and do his thing.

At noon the next day, Ah Jiu and Shui Ling'er found a restaurant to eat, and the two ate quietly, when they heard a son next door say, "I heard that the State of Chu led troops to attack my Daliang this time, but I am completely sure."

Another boy replied, "Why? King Jing of my Great Liang is a victorious army, and he is not easily defeated."

"It's the Xuanqing Sword."

"Are you referring to the Xuanqing Sword held by the kings of the past dynasties when the world was unified a hundred years ago?"

"That's right, according to legend, the country that gets this sword can dominate the world, and the Chu State doesn't know where to find this Xuanqing sword, this time he led his troops to come, and the leading general still carries it."

"With this sword, you can dominate the world? That's too presumptuous."

"Let's not talk about whether this rumor is true or not, the military spirit and the people's heart of Chu State alone are excited."

Shui Ling'er listened word for word, and after she finished her meal and Ah Jiu walked back to the carriage, before she could speak, Ah Jiu spoke first, "No."

Shui Ling'er said angrily, "I haven't said it yet, you just say no."

Ah Jiu looked at Shui Ling'er's excited face and said, "You're going to steal the Xuanqing Sword."

"That's right." If she could steal this sword and give it to Situ Jing, not only would he not be angry with her, but he might also say a few nice words to her.

"It's too dangerous, the Xuanqing Sword is in the military camp of the Chu State, there must be soldiers patrolling, it's not as simple as robbing the rich family's mansion in the past."

"I know, but we can go to the Chu State military camp first to take a look, maybe there is no imaginary danger."

Ah Jiu looked at Shui Ling'er's innocent appearance and knew that she didn't know the danger on the battlefield, and said, "The battlefield is not as simple as you think."

"Just go and see, don't have to steal." Of course, she will find a way to steal, this is her thief gang's unique skill.

Ah Jiu couldn't resist her, and said solemnly, "Let's just go and have a look, and we can't have other thoughts." If she had any accidents, King Jing would not let him go.

"Yes." Shui Ling'er replied with a weak heart.

On the main road between the Liang State and the Chu State, in the tent of the commander of the Liang State military camp, after Situ Jing finished reading the map in his hand, he closed his eyes and looked up for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Is there any news of her?"

Fang Yu knew that he was referring to Shui Ling'er, and said, "No."

Situ Jing said the question in his heart, "Do you think Xiaohu abducted her, or... She volunteered?" Even though he stated that he wanted to marry her, he never knew what she wanted of him.

It was the first time he had been so scared of someone leaving him.

Fang Yu said flatly, "My subordinates don't know."
