Chapter 157: Gender Discrimination
The martial arts arena of Tai Academy was lively for a day, and Zhao Xiyue also fell asleep for a day. By the time she woke up, it was nearly dusk. She rubbed her head, a little dazed, looked around, her heart was indescribably strange, and for a moment she couldn't understand why she was sleeping in her room.
She shouted twice, "Someone!" and no one paid attention to her, and when she opened the door and took a closer look, she realized that there was no one in her Youyu Xuan.
"Where have all the people gone?"
Just as she was looking around for someone to ask what was going on, she saw her two palace maids walking in with a stack of cyan clothes, it was her personal maids Lu E and Xuan Zhuang in this palace.
"Princess, your face ...... You're back. The slave and maid will have their supper brought to you. Seeing Zhao Xiyue, Lu E hurriedly gave a salute, and when she spoke, she looked in awe, a little less lazy in the past, "I will definitely ask the imperial chef to cook something delicious tonight and send off the princess to celebrate!"
"Princess, this is your Sword Sect's Inner Chamber Sect Sect Sect Sect Costume. Someone just asked us to pick it up, and we'll get it back for you. The slave will put you in the room. Xuanzhuang has always done things properly, she saw that Xiyue had a puzzled look on her face, and after saluting, she hurriedly explained the whereabouts of her and Lu'e, for fear that Xiyue would lose her temper with the princess, and now she knows that her strength is amazing, but she doesn't dare to slack off.
"Sword Sect Sect Sect Clothes?!" Zhao Xiyue couldn't help shaking her head, stroked her ears, and said that she had heard it wrong, and was about to ask again, but saw two eunuchs who were doing rough work in her Xuan walked in, holding a stack of documents in their hands.
"Princess, this is the document you will use tomorrow to leave the palace. Just now, someone ordered the slave to fetch it for you to leave the palace tomorrow. Minion, I'll put you in the study. ”
"Princess, the carriage slave for you to leave the palace tomorrow has also been prepared. Now the minions go and prepare some good fodder, and feed them again in the evening. Tomorrow morning, I will run fast on Qingyun Mountain. ”
"Out of the palace paperwork?!Out of the palace carriage?!" Zhao Xiyue was confused when she heard it, and her heart was full of thoughts. It's called a mess, and it can't figure it out for a while, and in the face of four sneaky-looking slaves and slaves, it doesn't know how to ask what is going on, but frowns and thinks about it......
In addition to doing these errands, the two palace maids and the two minions spent most of their time crowded into the martial arts arena of Tai Academy to watch the good show on the martial arts platform.
In addition to the emotional drama and wonderful martial arts drama of Zhao Ting and Zhao Xiyue, Zhao Su and Princess Danli in the martial arts arena on this day, many princes who were unwilling to be lonely also went to join in the excitement and participated in the assessment, in order to facilitate the inner room disciples to enter and leave the palace freely.
Although the princesses of the world know that there are many risks and adverse effects of joining the Sword Sect. But as hostages, they have been trapped for a long time, and they can't take care of so much for the sake of freedom, anyway, with people like Zhao Ting, Zhao Xu, and Zhao Feng in the lead, they are not afraid of being weak in the Sword Sect.
Some of them passed, some did not, and the competition was extremely noisy for a while, and some people set up a gambling game at that time, and of course they did not participate in the gambling of these palace maids and eunuchs. Everyone was lively for a while, and if they couldn't come back in time to serve the master, they naturally had to find some light work to prevaricate.
Now. The four of them saw that Zhao Xiyue's expression was not good, and they were very afraid that she would use her "divine power" on the martial arts field, so if it was called to them, they might not be able to get out of bed for several months. They hurriedly pretended to be busy. They all slipped out of Youyuxuan under various excuses, saying that they were going to prepare for Zhao Xiyue to leave the palace tomorrow, and for a while, they actually threw Zhao Xiyue alone in the small courtyard of Youyuxuan.
If it weren't for Zhao Xiyue, her mind would still be a mess at the moment. According to her old temper, she must be angry. But at this moment. There was still a little bit of sweat medicine in her body, and her mind hadn't turned so quickly at this moment.
She rubbed her head and went back to the bedroom. Habitually sitting in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze, but suddenly found that her face was a little dirty, and there was a little dust stuck to her face?!
A woman loves beauty, how can she tolerate such a dirty face showing off herself? Zhao Xiyue hurriedly took a towel and scrubbed it in a golden basin filled with water on the side, and then immediately wiped the grease and powder again in front of the bronze mirror to dress herself.
When she opened her rouge box, she saw a note inside.
The handwriting on the note made her heart tremble, and her heartstrings were immediately plucked out of a jubilant sound by the words between the lines, like a thin trickle slowly breaking through the spring river where the ice and snow were melting.
"Xiyue, I have already done it for you to enter the Sword Sect and become a disciple of the Inner Chamber. Rest assured to enter the sect, don't ask the reason. Seeing the words as faces, there will be a period later. Gu Junshang. ”
Zhao Xiyue carefully folded the note, put it in the inner pocket of her close-fitting coat, and kept it close to her chest, treasured it like a treasure. She caressed the clothes of the disciples of the inner chamber of the Sword Sect placed at the head of the bed, her eyes were full of tenderness and hope, as if she was touching her wedding dress in her hand, her face was soft and ruddy, like a peach blossom in spring, and the pink peach fragrance was so tender that people couldn't bear to climb and fold, but they didn't want to look away.
She didn't even think about why she fainted on the side of the road in the Hundred Gardens, and why she woke up in her room, and why the pill that she was about to take to instantly increase her combat power disappeared. It seemed that all doubts dissolved in this little note. She loved him, so she believed in him, believed for no reason, and was extremely firm.
Early the next morning, the sun rose as usual. Zhao Xiyue's mood is very different from the past, her heart is full of hope for a better future.
The carriage clattered along the steep mountain road, and the sharp stones rolled down from time to time, falling into the abyss beside the mountain road without making a sound. The sound of birds and beasts chirping echoed in the mountain stream, like a high-pitched war song, so loud that it could pierce the sky, but it could not disperse the leisurely white clouds.
With such a mountain road, even a warrior with unique skills is afraid that the horse will lose its hooves and fall into a deep valley. But the pampered and noble Zhao Xiyue didn't feel scared at all, she couldn't wait to rush to the top of the mountain immediately, but she eagerly looked forward to going down the mountain immediately to the slave market in Qingdu City to find Gu Jun who she had been thinking about for a long time.
"Princess, we have arrived at the mountain gate of the Sword Sect, you should get off the carriage. The road behind. The carriage stops, and it seems that you need to climb to the top of the mountain yourself. "The eunuch who drove the car stopped his horse. Respectfully bow to the curtain of the carriage.
The palace maid lifted the curtain for Zhao Xiyue, revealing Zhao Xiyue's pretty face like snow. The sect disciples of the Sword Sect guarding the mountain gate peeked at it, and when the deer collided in his heart, a heat burst out in his lower abdomen, and he was a little out of proportion for a while, and he actually stammered a little when he spoke: "Gong, princess, the disciples of the Sword Sect are not allowed to take a car and sit in a sedan chair when they enter the mountain gate, please forgive me." ”
Zhao Xiyue smiled and said lightly: "It's okay." ”
When she got out of the carriage, she saw the steep peaks behind the mountain gate. I can't help but lose my face - how can I get to the top of the wall? !
Seeing that the beautiful princess was in trouble, the Sword Sect disciple guarding the mountain gate hurriedly stepped forward and enthusiastically proposed: "This mountain seems to be steep, but in fact, there is a flat path that winds up the mountain, and it can reach the top of the mountain, but this path is hidden in the lush forests, so it is not suitable to find." We are all brothers and sisters, and I can draw a map for the princess. The princess went to find this mountain path with my map, and she would find it. ”
Zhao Xiyue was overjoyed when she heard this. He thanked him softly, and saw the disciple take out a map from his bosom and hand it over.
The map was clearly drawn and folded neatly, like a pamphlet bought and sold in a street market. It's like a perennial product.
Zhao Xiyue was just about to take it, but she was blinded by a gust of wind, and then opened her eyes. The map is in someone else's hands.
"Sure enough, there is a map, and this good thing was given to her for free? Could it be that this Sword Sect is sexist? If I pretend to be a woman and go up the mountain, won't I save time, effort and money?"
A rugged man's voice rang out on a green pine tree by the side of the road. Zhao Xiyue looked fixedly, and saw that the man was dressed in a blue and white Sword Sect costume and had a broad and tough figure, with a playful look on his face, a little bohemian between his eyebrows, and a little crazy in his expression, it was actually Zhao Feng, the son of the King of Fujian.
"It turned out to be the prince of the King of Min, didn't you claim that the sect of the Sword Sect let you win 10,000 gold before you were willing to join the Sword Sect? Could it be that they really lost 10,000 gold to you?"
Princess Xiyue is in a good mood today, she doesn't care that the map was snatched by Zhao Feng, it's a big deal to ask this sect guarding the mountain gate to draw another one for her, she is even more curious about how this "poisonous bee son" can also join the Sword Sect. She is to escape from marriage, to break free from the cage and see her beloved. Why did this "poisonous bee son" go to the troubled waters of the Sword Sect?
"Don't you see that this Sword Sect disciple is stingy with men? The Sword Sect is so wealthy, if I want to win them 10,000 gold, I naturally want to come to their lair to absorb gold! Besides, all the fun people in the Tai Academy have come to the Sword Sect, and no one accompanies me to gamble and fight in that bird cage in the Tai Academy, how boring were those days? I naturally want to come here to have fun! Isn't it, Princess Yueyue?"
"Why are you again! It turned out to be a prince! A dignified family, refusing to give out money, and having the face to rob a girl's things, so not ashamed!"
The sect disciple of the Sword Sect guarding the mountain gate saw that Zhao Feng was not angry, took a step forward, and pointed at Zhao Feng, who seemed to be squatting in the pine tree for a long time, and actually shot out a ray of silver sword light on his finger, and arrived at Zhao Feng's face in an instant, but saw that Zhao Feng's figure was empty, and there was no figure in the blink of an eye, which made people gasp strangely!
"The Sword Sect's guarding the mountain gate turned out to be a good errand, and I will come to guard it for a while when I go back, and make a lot of money! The senior brother who guards the mountain gate, and the beautiful senior sister Yueyue, there will be a period later, and I will talk about it on the mountain!"
Zhao Feng's voice came from afar, as if he was already among the trees on the mountain, and there was no human figure in sight, obviously completely hidden in the blades of grass.
Zhao Xiyue has always been generous, and besides, when she saw that the disciple guarding the mountain gate had obviously collected money for the map but did not ask her for money, she had a little more favor, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the disciple, and said softly: "Please also ask the senior brother to be accommodating and give me another map." Please smile at this little bit of heart. ”
The disciple guarding the mountain gate couldn't help but be a little flattered when he saw Zhao Xiyue so polite, he had heard that the princess of the prince had a temper like a cow, and he had already seen a few in the morning, although the money was earned, but he was also angry, and he was quite unhappy. But the beautiful princess in front of him was so polite to herself, it seemed that she was a rare royal girl, and he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and he quickly took out a map from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said attentively: "They are all the same door, thanks to the princess who can afford me to guard the mountain gate, this map will be given to the princess." If you give the silver, you will be divided, how can you practice together on Qingyun Mountain in the future?"
"Then please give me more guidance in the future. Zhao Xiyue smiled, took the map and looked at it. The Sword Sect disciple guarding the mountain gate pointed out the path with great diligence, and Zhao Xiyue set out to hit the road with a thousand miles of foot.
Qingyun Mountain Zhong Lingyu show. Zhao Xiyue's journey is the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the song of warblers and swallows. Too many beautiful things. It can really be said that the exotic flowers and plants are lush and beautiful, and the rare birds and beasts abound with spirituality, quite the beauty of the world, and the spirit of fairyland, which makes people feel in it, calm and happy, and forget the ordinary.
Halfway down, there is a gazebo. Zhao Xiyue wanted to rest here. But I saw a person sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion, dressed in brocade, with a white face, and a little sadness and resentment between his eyebrows, which made people look forward to it, it was Zhao Ting.
Zhao Xiyue was in a hurry all the way, and she was a little out of breath at the moment, but she didn't want to rest with Zhao Ting, so she gritted her teeth and decided to continue to the top of the mountain.
The steps under his feet have not yet been taken. But listening to the sound in the forest made people numb. I didn't have time to think about what kind of movement this was, but I saw that Zhao Ting in the pavilion was actually tied up by a thick vine and dragged straight to the forest next to him......
A raging fire burned out in Zhao Ting's body. The vines that wrapped around his body heard the sound of crackling vine bark, but he did not see any loosening of the rattan binding. The force of the wrapping continued unabated.
Zhao Xiyue was stunned and didn't know whether she should step forward to help, she didn't hate Zhao Ting. is even more because she came to Qingdu with Zhao Ting on the same road, and she has a good impression of sharing hardships, but she has no love for him at all. Because of the emperor's marriage, she hated him with itchy teeth, but after all, she never thought of letting him die.
"Help~!"
Zhao Ting's resistance was ineffective, he fell into despair and shouted for help. Only then did he wake up Zhao Xiyue, who was stunned there. She hurriedly pulled out the dagger for self-defense, poured it into her poor true yuan, rushed in front of Zhao Ting, and stabbed the vines on his body......
When Zhao Ting saw that someone rushed to save him, he was first happy, and then when he saw that it was Zhao Xiyue, he was worried, he didn't want Zhao Xiyue to be killed by this tree vine, so he hurriedly shouted: "Xiyue, go and call someone else to help! You can't deal with this tree vine!"
But he shouted a little late, the dagger in Zhao Xiyue's hand had already pierced into the flesh of the tree vine, and the vine seemed to be in pain, the rattan shrank, flung wildly, and picked up Zhao Xiyue, who was still holding the dagger, and threw it into the air......
Zhao Xiyue's arm strength is very limited, she was thrown by the tree vine like this, she couldn't hold the dagger stuck in the tree vine at all, the moment she let go, she was thrown far away, so far away that Zhao Ting was so frightened that he held his breath and didn't dare to look, he thought that he had harmed his beloved girl, and he would never see her beautiful face again in this life......
The wind whistled in her ears, as if she was laughing at her stupidity, Zhao Xiyue was very scared, she was afraid that she would fall to her death like this, and the man she loved didn't have time to see her for the last time, and she couldn't look at him for the last time. finally broke free from the cage to see him, but he died like this. If his father knew that he would die of grief, how he wished that he could tie the knot with the man he had destined and rejoice at his knees......
"Annoying Zhao Ting, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost~!" Zhao Xiyue shouted with all her might, as if announcing her last words......
"If you're so stupid, Lord Yama won't accept you! You still want to be a ghost? You're not qualified!"
Zhao Xiyue only felt that her body was light, and she no longer landed, but rose slightly, and then landed slowly, the gentle force on her waist seemed to be a familiar and warm embrace, and in a trance, the familiar taste made her think that it was Gu Jun she had been thinking about for a long time. But when she cried with joy and looked up at the face of the person who saved her, her heart couldn't help but fall back to the trough - it was actually the perverted son "Zhao Su"!
"You deserve to be a 'pervert son', you didn't even let go of such a thrilling opportunity to rub oil, and took advantage of me, but don't think I'll thank you for saving me. ”
If someone else saved her, Zhao Xiyue would certainly not be so ungrateful for the picture. But this pervert, in her cognition, the starting point of his thinking has always been to satisfy his lust~ desire, so such a romantic hero saving beauty has become a "thrilling oil opportunity" in her eyes, only interests at all, no romantic complex.
"Zhao Xu" didn't get angry when she heard Zhao Xiyue say this, she just smiled faintly and said lazily: "Your oil and water are so poor that you can't feel it!
"You!" Zhao Xiyue was so angry that there was only such a thin "you" left.
"Zhao Xu! You still said that you didn't come to the Sword Sect for her! You quickly put her down for me! Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you!"
A coquettish voice came from behind him, sharp and able to penetrate the sky, and he heard "Zhao Su" shiver.
He shook his head helplessly, and said softly to Zhao Xiyue in his arms: "Since there is no oil and water to rub, I have to throw you down! You have to be careful! Don't fall, there is too little meat, and it will hurt to fall down to the bones!"
After that, Gu Jun gently lowered Zhao Xiyue, with moderate strength, just enough for Zhao Xiyue's feet to land safely.
Zhao Xiyue, who had stepped on the ground with both feet, only then did she think of Zhao Ting, who was in danger of life and death, so she hurriedly shouted to "Zhao Su": "You go and save Zhao Ting! He was entangled in the vines! Just in front of the gazebo! Hurry! He couldn't hold on for long!"
"Zhao Xu" didn't answer, but his footsteps never stopped, and the direction happened to be the pavilion. Zhao Xiyue looked at the back of "Zhao Su", and her heart rippled -- did he know that something had happened to Zhao Ting? Could it be that Zhao Ting shouted "help" too loudly, and he heard it......?
