I don't want to know that at the same time as Wei Nong spoke, the thief who stole chickens and dogs was already hiding in the shadows.

The door of the palace opened, and it was still the palace beauty who stepped in yesterday, still holding a few books in her hand, and saluted to Wei Nong: "The slave maid Jiyue has seen the princess." ”

The palace maid who served in the chariot last time was called "Water Moon", and the one in front of me was called "Ji Yue", which is really as good as its name, and the fairy spirit is curling.

"Miss Jiyue is exempt." Wei Nong looked at the book in her hand and asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has?" ”

Ji Yue presented the book in her hand, and replied: "Your Highness said that you must be bored during your recuperation, and the special slave maid will send you a few books to relieve your boredom." ”

Send books to relieve her boredom? I couldn't cry or laugh for a while. You must know that the daily lessons taught to Mama are boring and boring enough, she hasn't even finished reading the clan classics, where can she still have the time to read these books? Chu Li: Is everyone as good at reading as he is?

However, although he resisted in his heart, he still pretended to be happy on his face, and thanked Chu Li for the book.

The palace maid who called Jiyue did not stay for a long time, and after a few polite words with Wei Nong, he went back to Yuntai Palace to resume his life. Seeing each other twice, the palace maids were all in a certain way, and they never showed any differences, which also made Wei Nong unable to find the slightest mistake.

"What book did he give?" The man in black seemed to be impatient, and as soon as the palace maid left, he immediately appeared.

Wei Nong came back to his senses, picked up the books on the desk, and read them one by one: ""The Art of War", "The Record of the Dead Country", "Midnight Wu Song", "Nangong Old Things"? What kind of books are these! ”

There are military books, history books, poems, and books...... Chu Li's taste is really broad! Wei Nong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"What's the last book?" The man in black suddenly asked.

""Nangong Old Things"! It is a widely circulated book, which talks about the secrets of the former court. Wei Nong picked up the book and skimmed it, feeling quite bored: "I used to hear some jokes in the restaurant, but they were not interesting. ”

As soon as her voice fell, a black shadow flashed in front of her, and the book in her hand had been snatched by the man in black. The latter looked at the book cover, flipped through the other three books, and suddenly smiled with a sense of realization: "I see! I see! ”

When he saw that he was looking at himself in a little confusion, he did not hesitate to explain: "Little girl, you are about to get out of the sea of suffering, and I will withdraw tonight." ”

He pointed to the two books "Midnight Wu Ge" and "Nangong Old Things" one by one, and wrote on the table: "'There is no Ge in the middle of the night, Nangong is in power', he is telling me that I will not see Bing Ge tonight, let me leave from Nangong Gate." ”

"Is this a code word? Can you actually read it? Wei Nong was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, but he never expected Chu Li to come to this trick again after "prickly pear", and the content of the hint this time was even more difficult.

"Then what does this "Art of War" and "Records of the Dead Country" mean?" Seeing that he didn't mention it, Wei Nong asked.

"Oh, these two books ......" The man in black pressed the injury on his right shoulder: "He should be warning me that if I stay any longer, I will be 'soldiered' to meet each other, and let me 'die' in the Chu State." ”

"Oh my God!" Wei Nong was simply amazed, and couldn't help but praise: "He really has confidence in you, what if you can't read his hints?" ”

"That's where I wonder." The man in black frowned again as he spoke: "Yesterday's prickly pear pastry, and today's code word, we touched ...... The jargon of the rivers and lakes that only those who touch the dog and steal the chicken know. How would he know? ”

Oh, yes! How could a prince of the Chu Palace's palace understand the code words of thieves? Wei Nong was also puzzled, but only for a moment, this puzzlement was replaced by admiration: "I can only say that Chu Li is too powerful!" I've been walking darts for years and I've never heard of this jargon. ”

"It's a great character indeed." Xu is man in black got Chu Li's hint, and at this moment he was in a good mood, stretched his waist and said to Wei Nong: "For tonight, I have to recharge my energy now." Don't bother me, get me more food at noon. ”

Wei Nong couldn't wait to send away this plague god, so he also responded unprecedentedly, and asked: "Can you give me my antidote?" ”

The man in black glanced at her: "Not yet, give it before I leave!" As he spoke, he pointed to the secret medicine on the case, and said, "Give me a bottle of this medicine as well." ”

"Could it be that there are also code words in this medicine?" Wei Nong lifted his spirits again.

"I originally thought it was a code word, but I just watched it for a while," the man in black said with a bit of a joke, "It turns out that I was too worried, this is the medicine for you...... It's all good ingredients, so I'm going to take a bottle with me. ”

"Take it!" Before the slight thick voice fell, he had already put a white jade porcelain bottle into his arms, and said hatefully: "As long as you leave quickly, I will send you!" ”

The man in black smiled and stuffed the medicine bottle into his arms: "Thank you." I'll go up and sleep for a while! After saying that, he jumped up and jumped onto the beam.

*****

Because of Weinong's arm injury, Mama Jiao Xi gave her an unprecedented three-day vacation, and she couldn't stay in the dormitory, so she had to laugh with the first day of junior high school and Lantern Festival in the court, play some games at her daughter's house, and laugh for a while.

The first day of the new year and the Lantern Festival were all the same age as her, and they came with her and relatives from the Yan Kingdom, and both of them were personally assigned by the King of Yan and only listened to her orders. The first day of the new year is steady and careful, and the Lantern Festival is more lively. But the two are sixteen-year-old girls after all, no matter how calm they are, their nature is still jumpy.

It is undeniable that with the company of these two sisters, Wei Nong finally has a trace of comfort in this deep palace.

frolicked with them for a long time, and at lunchtime, Weinong deliberately shouted that he had no appetite and ate very little. After the meal, the imperial doctor came to change the medicine for her, and she shouted that she was hungry again, so she ordered the small kitchen to make some food and send it to the dormitory.

The man in black ate a lot, and ran to the beam of the house to continue to "recuperate", Wei Nong couldn't easily leave Yuxiu Palace, he was really idle and had nothing to do, but he went to the side hall to read and practice calligraphy, and copied a few pages of "Women's Training" by hand.

In this way, there was nothing to do until the evening, when Wei Nong hurriedly returned to the dormitory after dinner, and saw the man in black changing the dressing behind the screen, and then put the utensils on his body one by one on the table and re-equipped.

Hidden arrows, daggers, ropes, wounds, bandages...... He also took a soft sword from his waist! And the soft sword has a peculiar shape, the sword body is not straight up and down, but shaped like Feihong's wings, but the material is as thin as a cicada's wings, and it is faintly transparent. Slightly curious, I picked it up and took a closer look, and found that the sword body was almost translucent, and I put my hand under the sword body, and through the unknown material, I could vaguely see the lines in my palm.

After weighing it and trying it again, the sword body was very light and soft, not like a weapon at all, but more like a handicraft for people to play with. Wei Nong couldn't help but touch the transparent sword body with his hand, but he heard a sudden reminder in his ear: "Be careful!" ”

It's a pity that it was too late, and when the man in black spoke, she had already touched the body of the sword, and her index finger was immediately cut through a hole, and blood was like a pillar in an instant. Fortunately, the medicine for the injury was on the case in front of her, and she hurriedly applied the medicine, which barely stopped the bleeding.

"With such a sharp sword, you dare to wrap it around your waist!" Wei Nong couldn't help but complain.

"What do you look at? Didn't you see the sword bag? The man in black scolded her, pointed to a belt-like sword bag next to the case, and said, "This soft sword is made of rare materials, and it is incomparably sharp, and it needs to be placed in the sword bag before you dare to wear it on your body." ”

Wei Nong put the soft sword back into the sword bag, and sure enough, the sword became obedient and no longer showed its edge.

"You even use a soft sword?" Wei Nong was taken aback. It is necessary to know that the soft sword is different from other weapons, its sword body is as soft as silk, it is not easy to master and use, and it must be highly concentrated in essence, qi and spirit when practicing, so it belongs to the difficult swordsmanship in the sword weapon, and it is a completely different blade from the hard sword.

In her impression, there are very few people who can use soft swords, most of them are used to strengthen their bodies, and she has only seen one person who can make the soft sword supernatural, and that is the master who taught her Emei thorn. Master has two sets of mastery in her life, the Emei thorn is easier to get started, and the soft sword is more difficult to get started, so she learned the former.

It was precisely because she couldn't do it that she looked up to people who were good at using soft swords.

Unexpectedly, the man in black smiled and said, "I don't know how to use a soft sword." As he spoke, he snatched the soft sword back from Wei Nong's hand and put it back on the table.

Wei Nong instantly understood that this was what the man in black had stolen from Tianlu Pavilion!

"You're really knowledgeable!" She couldn't help but admire: "I've never seen such a sword weapon!" ”

"Tell me about you, I haven't seen it either." The man in black said with a smile: "I didn't bother to take over this business, and I came here because I was curious about this sword." The sword is worthy of its name. ”

"So you're doing things for someone else! You're a bounty hunter! Wei Nong suddenly realized, and almost exclaimed.

The so-called "bounty hunter" is a unique name in the rivers and lakes, and it is not really a hunting for a living. To put it bluntly, it is to take business at a clear price, and specifically do things for others to cover their ears, such as catching stolen goods, chasing, stealing, revenge, etc.

Bounty hunters are not robbers or killers, they usually deal with both black and white and the government, and move between good and evil. They can work in a gang, but the masters are all loners, and the price is extremely high. If you do well, you can make a lot of money in a single business, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Wei Nong suddenly looked at the man in black, especially a bounty hunter like him who dared to break into a king's palace alone must be a top master.

"Bounty hunters? Well, sort of! The man in black also admitted it, but Wei Nong always felt that his words were a little perfunctory.

But it didn't matter, he was about to leave, and they had nothing to do with each other from then on, and she didn't want to inquire too much.

The man in black didn't explain much, he ordered the equipment, reloaded it on his body, and finally wrapped the sword around his waist.

Wei Nong watched coldly, and when he saw this last scene, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful: "What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let you go, and you still want to take this sword? ”

"He didn't ask me to get it back. There are many treasures in the palace of the king of Chu, maybe he doesn't care. The man in black shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly, looked out the window and sighed, "When the sun sets, I'm going to explore the way." ”

Xu was in response to his words, and the window suddenly darkened. Pushing the window into the distance, the last ray of light at dusk has gradually disappeared into the sky, and a dull purple color emerges, and the moon rises.

"The hour has come," the man in black patted her on the shoulder, "little girl, we will meet again." ”
