"It's too slow...... Hurry up...... Hurry up and ......."

"How many times have I said it, the subtlety of this set of swordsmanship lies in the skillful reduction of force, and the victory with speed, tsk...... You are ...... understanding."

"The posture of the sword is wrong again...... It's stupid......"

"What to see...... Call you stupid and you're still not convinced......"

The old place in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is still a Taishi chair, a few small on one side, a cup of fragrant tea, and a white coat. Song Yuanxi leaned lazily on the Taishi chair, raising his eyebrows from time to time and pointing at the woman who was practicing the sword in front of him.

Xia Taozhi is dressed in a neat short fight, her hair is tied up high, she is holding a long sword, dancing in the wind, and she is full of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, and she has a beauty that is different from that of ordinary women.

It's a pity that some people really don't know how to appreciate, they are pretentious, their eyes are full of contempt, and they keep picking thorns in their mouths. It's not that she is stupid, it's that her understanding is too low, and she spoils his set, this set, "Heaven and earth, only I am the only one in the world, and the world's unparalleled swordsmanship" has been ruined.

Xia Taozhi was drinking a sip of tea handed over by Peony when she heard the name of this set of swordsmanship for the first time, at that time Song Yuanxi had just finished demonstrating this set of swordsmanship, she casually asked the name of the swordsmanship, and she didn't expect to hear such a thunderous answer, and she sprayed a sip of tea far away.

"Ahem, what's it called?" When the peony gave her a good breath, she didn't give up, and struggled to ask again.

Song Yuanxi had an expression of "no knowledge", and repeated arrogantly: "Listen! Lao Tzu's set of swordsmanship is called "Heaven and Earth, I am the only one who stands alone in the world, and is unparalleled in the world"! It's Lao Tzu's own creation! ”

Xia Taozhi laughed mercilessly, not only her, but also Peony and Begonia couldn't help but chuckle, and even the little mud grinned together.

This can annoy Song Yuanxi, since she began to learn this set of swordsmanship, he has always had a look of disgust on his face, constantly picking and choosing, speaking harshly, and trampling her to the point of uselessness.

"The posture is so clumsy, the movement is so slow, you have been beaten to death ten times earlier......"

"Such a subtle swordsmanship, you actually practiced it like this? It's stupid and blunt......"

"The perception is too low...... The little black dogs at the entrance of the alley are faster learners than you......"

In the end, he concluded: "Talent is not good...... Perception is also not good...... But the victory is still diligent, and it is not incurable......"

The angry Xia Taozhi wanted to throw the long sword in his hand at his hateful face and poke him blind!

Little Mud paid a terrible price for his grin. Every day, an extra hour is added to the stake, and when practicing, each arm holds a bucket full of water, if you can't lift the water and spill it, you will be smacked. The little mud was very afraid of Song Yuanxi, so he didn't dare to be angry, he honestly held the bucket, his small body was thin and thin, and he looked crumbling.

Peony and Begonia watched distressedly on the side, and they didn't dare to come out.

For five days, day after day.

On the fifth day, Xia Taozhi had practiced this set of swordsmanship perfectly, and the sword walked freely and freely. But Song Yuanxi was still not satisfied, thinking that she was not fast enough.

"Women are not as good as men in terms of strength, only by overcoming rigidity with softness and fighting slow with speed can they win by surprise......" He was training Xia Taozhi here, but behind his back was like having eyes, and he shouted without looking back: "Hey, little mud!" What for? The waist sinks, don't be lazy! ”

The little mud who had just secretly straightened his waist by half an inch and wanted to rest quietly, immediately sank his waist when he heard this, and he didn't dare to move.

Xia Taozhi felt that he was deliberately finding fault, and said unconvinced: "Where am I slow?" If you're too slow, how can you call it fast? ”

Song Yuanxi took the sword in her hand without saying a word, and made a lightning shot, she didn't see it clearly at all, the sword had been sheathed, and the next moment, her hairband fell, and her head was full of green silk fluttering and falling, flying in the air.

Song Yuanxi looked indifferent: "This is called fast." ”

Xia Taozhi: "......"

She stretched out her hand and brushed her hair, and just wanted to scold this dead arrogant girl, a maid from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to report: "Your Highness, Lord Gu, the squire of the military department, came to visit the master, knowing that you are in the house, saying that you have something important to see......"

She immediately squinted her eyes and said that it wasn't a broken sleeve? It's only been a few days since I saw him, and I have all found the Prime Minister's Mansion......

Song Yuanxi said: "Please Lord Gu go to the study first, and the king will arrive later."

The handmaid answered.

Song Yuanxi turned around and ordered: "Continue to practice, don't be lazy, this king will go back when he goes." After that, he glanced at Xia Taozhi deeply, swept his eyes over her right hand, smiled, and turned to leave.

Xia Taozhi raised her right hand and spread out her palm, there was a small pebble lying inside, which she secretly picked up when Song Yuanxi turned around just now, and wanted to use it secretly to throw him, but he didn't want to be discovered by him, and it seemed that he had seen through her intentions.

was so gloomy by him, she didn't have the courage to plot against him, so she had to throw the stone in frustration.

"Nothing can escape your eyes, you are the little black dog at the entrance of the alley!" She thought hatefully.

The corners of Song Yuanxi's clothes were about to disappear into the corridor, and Xia Taozhi and Xiao Niba sat on the ground together, exhausted.

Peony and Begonia hurriedly stepped forward to help the two.

Begonia took out the food box containing the pastries, opened the lid, and a sweet smell wafted out. Little Muddy looked like a little milk dog, shrugged his nose and looked at her. Haitang said: "Look at what I do, eat quickly." Little Clay immediately grabbed a piece of pastry and ate it, eating it so fast that he choked. Haitang sighed, took out the tea that had been prepared and handed it to him, and while helping him smooth out, he said disgustedly: "What is the dog anxious about?" No one is robbing you, so eat slowly. ”

Peony tied up Xia Taozhi's hair and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white jade arm with bruises and bruises, all of which were accidentally injured during the five days of practice.

Peony took out the blood-invigorating and stasis cream and rubbed it on her, rubbed it carefully, and said with pain in the center of her mouth: "...... Does it hurt? ”

Xia Taozhi said: "It's okay, it's just a small injury."

Peony muttered quietly: "Your Highness is really ...... It's too cruel to the mother......"

"When life and death are at stake, there is no other way......"

Peony's eyes darkened, and a worried look appeared in her eyes. Xia Taozhi stroked her hair and signaled her to feel at ease.

A few days ago, they had revealed the plan to Peony, although Song Yuanxi didn't believe in Peony, but there was no other way, there were too few people who could use it at the moment, if they wanted to change their appearance, they couldn't help Peony, so they could only take risks.

They can only gamble now, betting that Peony is a loyal maidservant, in Song Yuanxi's words, if they win the bet, they will turn their lives against the sky, and if they lose the bet......

His voice sounded in her head.

"Did you lose the bet...... It's a big deal for you and me to go to Huangquan together, and we will both be a ghost couple......"

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sandalwood is faint and the green smoke is curling.

Song Yuanxi stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, with an unknown expression on his face, and a book was placed on the desk behind him.

"So, Xitu Xizuo infiltrated my Dachu for this "Hundred Arrays of Strange Soldiers"?"

Gu Ziyi said: "Back to Your Highness, exactly." The identity of the leader of the black-clothed man who ambushed Weichen on Mibai Mountain that day has been confirmed, and it is Ling Yao, the close attendant of Feng Yuanjun, the prince of Xitu. Come to think of it, the prince of Xitu infiltrated Dongchu in the name of his relatives, and secretly wanted to plot this "Hundred Arrays of Strange Soldiers". ”

"Oh? From this point of view, Situ's harmony is indeed ulterior motives. "Okay, you're a little white face, you can still have the ability, and you've found a lot of information.

"It's a pity that Prince Xitu has exhausted all his organs, but he didn't expect that His Royal Highness had already seen the opportunity and ordered Weichen to take good care of the "Hundred Arrays of Strange Soldiers", which did not let Prince Xitu's treacherous plan succeed."

Song Yuanxi turned his back to him, his expression was like a ghost, his eyes seemed to hide a cold knife, and Sen Sen flashed with a cold glow.

It's just a little bit, it's really just a little bit that he will be able to get this "Hundred Arrays of Strange Soldiers" on that day, with this "Hundred Arrays of Strange Soldiers", he will be able to wave the army to the east, and he will be able to crack the formation of King Ling's soldiers without much effort, destroy Dongchu in one fell swoop, and unify Weishui!

But on the contrary, people are not as good as heaven......

He didn't succeed with all his efforts at the beginning, but now he has fallen into such a situation, but he has obtained this "Hundred Arrays of Strange Soldiers" without much effort. What's the use of getting it now? Not to mention that he fought for Situ, he couldn't even go back to Situ......

Gu Ziyi said again: "It's a pity that Wechen has been strictly inspecting the sentry post for dozens of days, and he still hasn't captured Xitu who sneaked into my Dachu, Wechen is really incompetent."

Song Yuanxi clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to clarity, and when he turned around, his expression was as usual: "Xitu people have always been cunning, Ziyi doesn't need to blame himself."

With that, he walked to the table and sat down.

Gu Ziyi still had a look of shame on his face, and he also sat down: "Weichen still has something to report to His Highness."

"Ziyi, please speak."

"As far as Wei Chen knows, there seems to be some movement on His Royal Highness the Prince's side recently, and General Li Rong has been in close contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently, and frequently enters and exits the East Palace. And this Guide general is the person in charge of the preparation of the star event. ”

Song Yuanxi was slightly surprised when he heard this, he had expected that Song Yuansheng would do something in the star-picking event, but he didn't want him to be so stupid, and he was really stupid to blatantly cultivate the Mingxiu Plank Road Mingdu.

"Ignore them. How have you done what the king has told you to do? ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's done." Gu Ziyi was a little skeptical: "Has Your Highness still decided to do this?" Wechen still felt that this was very risky. ”

"It doesn't matter, just do it."

"Yes."

Xia Taozhi was lying in the corner, trying to peek into the study through a gap in the windowsill. From this angle, you will be able to see half of Song Yuanxi's side face. I have to say that Song Yuanxi's side face is very good-looking, with soft contours, and perfect facial features, which is really very pleasing to the eye.

At this time, Song Yuanxi stood up, walked around the desk, walked to Gu Ziyi's side, and whispered to him.

Looking at it from Xia Taozhi's angle, I just saw Song Yuanxi and Gu Ziyi getting very close, and their faces were almost together, extremely ambiguous.

She threw herself back in shock, her head almost hitting the window frame. It was also said that it was not a broken sleeve! In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, lonely men and widows, in the same room, are about to kiss! It's really immoral, it's immoral!

She fled.

Song Yuanxi skimmed the windowsill and curled the corners of his mouth funny. Gu Ziyi said curiously: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"So...... What His Highness just said ......"

Song Yuanxi nodded.

"I want you, fake an identity. An identity that can participate in the star-picking event in a bright and bright way. ”

Xia Taozhi ran to the garden in one go, hiding behind the rockery and panting. She's really going to wash her eyes! Blue sky and white day, this dead arrogant, this dead broken sleeves, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, light and thin son! No, Childe looks ...... Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Childe is really a broken sleeve!

She still hadn't calmed down, when she heard the footsteps of two people behind the rockery, one light and one heavy, and stopped beside the rockery. She looked over, and at this angle she would only be able to see half of the body of one of them.

But even if she only had half of her body, she immediately recognized it, this round face and chubby body turned out to be Xiaocui, the maidservant of the Lang's Mansion who had not been seen for many days.

She was wondering why she also came to the Xiangfu with Gongzi, when she heard Xiaocui reprimand the person next to her in her familiar disdainful tone: "If it weren't for Sister Wan's illness today, would you still be able to come with you?" You dare to run around for me! Clumsy, all day knows how to make a mess! ”

"Sister Xiaocui extinguished the fire, I just ran to the thatched house with a bad stomach, and I got lost when I came back...... I promise not to run away, and I will never dare to make trouble for Sister Xiaocui......"

Xia Taozhi was completely stunned, as if a thunderbolt exploded above her head, she was nailed to the spot, stunned in place like half a piece of wood, she unexpectedly, she actually heard her own voice???
