Chapter Seventy-Eight: Cold Arrows
Although Zhuyue and Meteor protected Song Zhi, they still shrank together, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble, but the water chestnut hunched over, pulling the corner of the curtain and looking out, like an ocelot ready to attack at any time.
"Do you know kung fu?" Month by month, he asked with some hesitation. Meteor was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the water chestnut.
Even if the water chestnut didn't turn back, she could feel her figure stiffen, she quickly sat up straight, and said a little discouraged: "The prince said that it is best not to let others see that I can do martial arts." ”
Her deflated appearance was almost like a squirrel that had been robbed of food, and Song Zhi couldn't help but smile, "It seems that you still can't cultivate at home." ”
There was a commotion outside, but there was an atmosphere of chatting in the carriage, and the bright eyes of the water chestnut looked at Song Zhi, and said suspiciously: "Miss seems to have known that I can do kung fu for a long time, and I am not surprised at all." ”
Zhuyue and Meteor also looked over together, and under the gaze of the three of them, Song Zhi was a little embarrassed.
"There are too many flaws, you don't act like a maid," her eyes stopped for a moment on the maid's bun of the water chestnut, "But why should the prince put a little girl who is not a maid by my side?" The greatest possibility is that you can do martial arts and protect me. ”
"Hasn't Miss thought of another possibility?" Water chestnut knew that she shouldn't say the next sentence, but she didn't know why, when she thought of her sister, she couldn't help but stab a little.
The two of them are married, even if they have Song Ling's relationship, they don't necessarily have such a heart-to-heart relationship with each other? What's more, Song Zhi is not like the kind of woman who has no city government.
"What is possible?" Song Zhi looked at the slightly evil smile on the water chestnut's face, and his heart felt the same.
"Aren't you afraid, I'm the eye that the prince put next to you?" As soon as the water chestnut finished speaking, the smile in her eyes suddenly evaporated, everything happened too fast, Song Zhi only felt a gust of cold and sharp wind, blowing straight towards her eyes, she didn't have time to do anything, and subconsciously closed her eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the right hand of the water chestnut was steadily grasping a pitch-black arrow, which had silver lines on its body, circles and circles, like lines on the body of snakes, until the end of the arrow.
"It's certainly not a bandit." Song Zhi and water chestnut said in unison.
"Is Miss alright!?" Su Zheng gasped and struggled to speak.
It's not that his martial arts are not good, it's just that the arrow rain is dense, and he can't parry, so he watched the arrow shoot into the carriage, knowing that the water chestnut martial arts are excellent, but he still shocked Su Zheng.
Blocking it, Su Zheng inexplicably felt that the arrow rain was a lot sparse, and the pressure was suddenly relaxed.
Shen Baiyan was obviously at the forefront, but he was always paying attention to the situation here, seeing that Su Zheng was a little struggling, he took out a bow and arrow from the horse's belly, took an arrow, and then pulled the bow and shot back, killing three archers in a row.
"It's fine." The water chestnut said loudly, she raised her eyebrows, obviously a little surprised that Song Zhi could see the difference of this arrow at a glance, and after revealing her identity, the look on her face was not only childish, but also had a compelling sharpness.
Meteor frowned and glanced at her, not angry at her for covering up her identity, but just felt that what she said just now was suspected of provoking the relationship between Song Zhi and Shen Baiyan, which was simply inexplicable.
How sharp the water chestnut was, she could naturally perceive it when she was glanced at by a meteor like this, she smiled, and she didn't intend to reply or justify.
Zhuyue also carefully observed Song Zhi's expression, only to see Song Zhi take the arrow in the hand of the water chestnut and look at it carefully, she looked at it attentively, as if she didn't care about what the water chestnut said just now.
There was a cold wind between the water chestnut and the meteor and the moon, but Song Zhi, the protagonist, seemed to be in another story, she broke out of the clamp between the moon and the meteor, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out.
I only caught a glimpse of a horse's hoof, and was dragged back by the two, "Miss, you have too much guts." Moon by month disagreed.
The blades and screams outside gradually subsided, and the water chestnut couldn't hold it back, and wanted to get out and stretch his fists, but in the end he knew that his identity was to protect Song Zhi, so he still stayed in the carriage obediently, just pricked up a pair of ears and carefully distinguished the sound outside.
After a while, Song Ling jumped in like a monkey, looked Song Zhi up and down, and was relieved to see that she didn't even mess up her sideburns.
Shen Baiyan followed him into the carriage, his gaze only glanced at Song Zhi very restrainedly, and landed on the hand she was holding the arrow. Shen Baiyan said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, I will first order them to go on the road." ”
Song Ling nodded at Shen Baiyan indiscriminately, then turned his head to Song Zhi and said, "Just now this group of people is the subordinates of the Divine Enlightenment Sect, and our trip was originally under the guise of going to Junan to discuss matters with the Marquis of Jinghai, but somehow leaked the rumors, so that the people of the Divine Enlightenment Sect knew the true purpose of our trip, and they dared to sneak attack!" ”
Song Zhi took out a handkerchief and pressed the thin sweat on Song Ling's forehead, "Is there anyone injured outside?" ”
Song Ling shook his head, took out the arrow from Song Zhi's hand, and said: "No, their martial arts skills are not high, and they still use the method of 'killing the master with random arrows', but it is only because they have prepared a large number of arrows and crossbows that they have wasted these time." ”
"Is it because of this arrow that my brother thinks it was done by someone from the Divine Enlightenment Sect?" Song Zhi saw Song Ling lowering his eyes and looking at the arrow with a strange pattern, and asked.
"In addition to this, Fang Cai also asked people to investigate the corpses of those ambushers, and there are dark eyes tattooed on their ankles, which must be people from the Divine Enlightenment Sect." Song Ling took Song Zhi's handkerchief and wiped it on her face, "I know what you think, do you think they are so blatant, but it's a little strange?" In fact, it is not surprising that the style of the Divine Enlightenment Sect has become more and more rampant over the past few days. ”
Seeing that Song Ling and Song Zhi had a lot of discussions, the water chestnut felt more and more that this Song girl was different from the powerful ladies she saw on weekdays, and the sons and ladies in other mansions were afraid that they were born from the same mother, and it was rare to have such a relationship.
Song Ling saw that Song Zhi was safe and sound, and said, "My brother went out first, and I can go to Junan tonight." When he got up and went out, he glanced at the water chestnut, and there seemed to be a deep meaning between his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.
The road was quiet again, but there was a faint embarrassment in the carriage.
Moon and Meteor were angry with her because of the water chestnut Fangcai's open-mouthedness, but the water chestnut Fangcai saved them again, so it was not easy to be angry, so they could only deliberately not look at the water chestnut, as if there was no such person in the carriage.
The water chestnut looked calm, and took out the tea set by himself, and smiled at Song Zhi: "Miss, do you want to drink a cup of ginseng tea to suppress the shock?" With a little pearl powder? ”
Song Zhi looked at the face of the water chestnut that had changed three times a day, and felt very interesting, and said, "I want rose dew." ”
The water chestnut is as good as a stream, and asked: "Poria cake, pea yellow, red bean cake." What refreshments did the lady order? ”
"Poria cake. It's always more appropriate to eat Poria cakes in autumn. Listening to Song Zhi and this inexplicable water chestnut discussing food and eating so enthusiastically, month by month, I couldn't understand what Song Zhi was thinking.
The water chestnut started to do this thing of handing out tea and water, and it looked clumsy, and a cup of rose dew was sprinkled on the table for half of it.
Seeing that she was ugly, Meteor felt a little better, so he took the rose dew and handed it to Song Zhi. Song Zhi took a sip, this rose was poured out of the jade bottle made of warm jade, this rose was still warm, Song Zhi suddenly remembered the piece of pastry that Shen Baiyan had heated for himself with his internal force.
"Miss seems to be a person who has seen a big scene, and she was almost injured by a cold arrow, but she is still so indifferent." Water chestnut looked at Song Zhi with interest.
Song Zhi looked at the light red cup in the cup, and there was a kind of enchantment reflected on the white quilt wall, like a touch of carmine on a woman's cheeks, and said, "Shen Baiyan asked you to protect me, but are you not happy to do this errand?" ”
The water chestnut's smile narrowed slightly, and he tilted his head, "I am a person under the prince of the world, and I have always done things according to orders, so naturally there is nothing to be happy or unhappy." ”
Song Zhi's long eyelashes staggered for a moment, looked at the side face of the water chestnut with a little baby fat, and said: "It must be very hard to learn kung fu at a young age." ”
The water chestnut was stunned, looked at Song Zhi with some surprise, and said: "To be selected, to learn a whole body of kung fu, it is already very good to have a bite of food, and there is also a moon salary." ”
When Song Zhi heard this, he took another sip of rose dew.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the water chestnut guessed in his heart, 'Is this Miss Song afraid of touching something hidden that can't be touched?' ’
Water chestnut was a little indescribably happy, 'Does it mean that there is no such deep affection between her and the prince?' So, it's not impossible for my sister to be impossible? ’
"You're following Sushui, aren't you? Sister Sushui has a gentle temperament, but she is a good match. Song Zhi's words made the thoughts in the heart of the water chestnut seem so ridiculous.
"You know Susui-sama?" The look on the water chestnut's face was shocked.
Song Zhi put down the cup and said very naturally: "Yes, the prince asked her to do me a favor." ”
"The prince actually asked Lord Sushui to help you?" The water chestnut was so shocked that it was a little out of shape, and his mouth and eyes were open.
Zhuyue and Meteor both thought her appearance was a little funny, but they also felt a little unhappy, and Meteor said: "My young lady is the wife of the prince who has not passed through the door, and the relationship is extraordinary, what are you so surprised about?" ”
As soon as the water chestnut was reminded by her words, he immediately restrained his expression, "Lord Sushui usually sees the head and the tail of the dragon, and even I rarely meet her, so I am surprised." ”
Song Zhi nodded, making a clear look.
Her natural Dao Sushui's identity is unusual, and her words are just trying the depth of water chestnut. Now it seems that the water chestnut is not directly disciplined by the plain water, and there is at least one layer between them. As a third-layer, the water chestnut is already so good at kung fu, and the people under Shen Baiyan are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
