"No, I'll wash it when I'm done eating."

With that, Chu Mu took her and walked out the door.

When the maidservant guarding the door saw the two come out, she immediately handed over the oil-paper umbrella.

Chu Mu took the umbrella, hugged Ruan Tang, and walked into the rain.

Ruan Tang looked puzzled.

Didn't he want that?

What are you doing outside? Fighting in the field?

But she's really not that thick-skinned, not to mention that it's pouring rain now, and she doesn't like this kind of play like wet body fighting.

Ruan Tang tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "Your Highness, isn't it okay to go outside?" Or maybe it's in the room......"

Chu Mu turned his head to look at her, his eyes were full of helplessness, "What do you have in your head every day?" ”

"......" obviously contains something different from you.

"This king is looking for you, it's not just that kind of thing." Chu Mu continued.

Ruan Tang was surprised.

Isn't their current relationship just because he figured out her body?

How? Now you don't want her body again?

"This king said before that I would make you a bow and arrow, and it has been done, so let's try it."

Following Chu Mu's voice, the two walked out of her yard and came to the backyard.

Although she rented this courtyard, she didn't have time to take a good look at all the courtyards here.

He led her through the heart of the backyard to the door of a room.

He took the umbrella before opening the door.

He then motioned for her to come in.

Ruan Tang glanced at him suspiciously, and then raised his feet and stepped over the threshold and walked in.

The entire room had been cleaned and empty, but against the east wall, there were a few racks of arrows.

At the other end of the room, there was a square table with several bows and arrows on it.

Chu Mu walked over, picked up one of the small hand-held crossbows, and then beckoned to Ruan Tang: "Sugar Candy come here." ”

Ruan Tang didn't expect that he still remembered what he had told her before, she thought he had forgotten about it.

Because she forgot too.

But she really wanted to learn archery.

She can't learn martial arts, but if she can learn this skill, she will be considered a skill in the future.

She walked towards Chu Mu with some excitement.

As soon as he walked in front of Chu Mu, Chu Mu handed her the bow and crossbow in his hand, "Let's see if you like it?" ”

Ruan Tang took it and looked at it carefully.

The bow and crossbow are not large, and the structure is very simple, consisting of a crossbow arm and a trigger, the whole thing looks like it is made of iron, and it does not lose weight when held in the hand, but it is not very heavy, and for her, this weight is just right.

She gently stroked the crossbow, her eyes full of joy.

Seeing that she liked it, Chu Mu also curled the corners of his lips, "Do you want to try it?" ”

Ruan Tang nodded hurriedly.

Chu Mu took out a small arrow from an arrow pocket on the table, then walked behind her and encircled her in his arms.

She lifted the crossbow in her hand and lowered the arrow into the path of the arrow.

Then he held Ruan Tang's other hand, put it under the trigger, and then raised the crossbow to the same height as his face.

"Take aim, and you can pull the trigger and shoot." After speaking, Chu Mu took Ruan Tang's hand and pulled the trigger.

With a 'whoosh', the arrow flew out and hit one of the bullseyes on the opposite side.

"Alright, try it yourself."

Ruan Tang nodded, followed Chu Mu's appearance, loaded the arrows, aimed, and shot.

But her first arrow missed the target and landed next to it.

"It's okay, you can shoot if you practice more."

Ruan Tang naturally knows that she is not a genius, she can't be achieved overnight, no matter what she does, she always needs to work hard.

Undeterred, she loaded another arrow, but this time it was the same as before, and it missed the target again.

Chu Mu raised his hand and pointed to the lookout mountain on the crossbow, "Remember, this point is a little above the bull's-eye, so that the arrows you shoot can easily land on the bull's-eye, you try again." ”

According to what he said, Ruan Tang tried several more times, although he didn't hit the bull's-eye in one fell swoop, but he didn't miss the target directly like the previous two times.

She has hit the target several times in a row, although it is above the first ring and the second ring, but she has made great progress.

The more she shot, the more confident she became, and when she got to the back, she hit a little next to the bullseye several times.

Chu Mu saw that she was getting more and more proficient, and he himself picked up a bow and arrow, and also shot it.

Almost every arrow he shot hit the bull's-eye.

Ruan Tang couldn't help but ask curiously: "How many years have you been learning archery?" ”

With a "whoosh", another arrow shot out in Chu Mu's hand, and he put down the bow and arrow before saying, "This king started practicing at the age of five. ”

"Five?" It's been twenty years since he shot now, so it's no wonder he's so good at archery.

She's just starting out, and it's normal for her to shoot inaccurately.

"Then how long did it take you to practice before the arrow hit the bull's-eye?"

"One day."

"One day?" Heckling, right?

"You don't believe me?"

Ruan Tang wanted to nod, but she didn't dare.

"Another day, the king will take you to see the queen mother, and you ask her if the king is lying."

For the rest he didn't dare to say that he was talented, but archery was.

His royal brother said that he was a genius in archery, and his archery skills were also taught to him by his imperial brother, but the blue is better than the blue.

When Ruan Tang heard that he was going to take her to see the Empress Dowager, he hurriedly replied: "I believe it, I believe ......."

What the queen mother is, she doesn't want to see it, and let her marry his son later.

"You don't have to see the Queen Mother."

Chu Mu stared at her for a while, but he didn't force her anymore.

The two practiced for a while, and then Chu Mu asked, "I went to the Jing'an Hou Mansion today, did I find anyone?" ”

"No, the people are not in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, but their disappearance, I think it has something to do with the Jing'an Hou Mansion."

"And what are you going to do?"

Ruan Tang put down his bow and arrows, looked at him, and said after a while: "Your Highness, can you help me find it in the upper capital?" After all, you have a lot of people, so it's quicker to find. ”

"Yes." Chu Mu agreed quickly.

"But...... What are the benefits of this king? Chu Mu shot another arrow before turning his eyes to look at Ruan Tang, with a smile on the corner of his lips that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"What benefits does Your Highness want?"

"You know."

"I don't know." I don't want to know.

"How about staying with this king, and all my men may be sent by you?"

Ruan Tang put the bow and crossbow back on the table and looked at him, "Your Highness, you know that I will not agree to this condition. ”

"Why?" Chu Mu followed her words and asked directly.

But Ruan Tang was silent.

She had given him the answer before.

"You don't want to marry this king, and this king doesn't force you, but can you stay here? Even if you live here? ”

There were only about two months left on their agreed term, and he knew that when it was up, she would leave.

Because here, there is no one who is nostalgic for her, and this is the case with the Marquis of Jing'an, and so is he.

He didn't want to talk to her about it now, but he just couldn't help but blurt it out.

He had thought that for the rest of the time, they would get along well, and maybe when the deadline was up, she would change her mind.

But the answer she just answered, obviously, she still wanted to leave.

But the thought of her leaving, however, made him feel depressed and his heart empty.

It was the first time he had felt this way.

So, no matter what, she can't leave.

"You don't want to marry this king, this king is not reluctant, this king just wants you not to resist staying with this king, even if ...... As a friend? His tone was a little low.

Ruan Tang was surprised, but after a while, he only felt ridiculous.

They are like this now, put aside that relationship, can they still be good friends?

Obviously impossible.

As long as she agreed to him to stay, then their current relationship would continue.

"Your Highness thinks that we can still only be friends?" Ruan Tang raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were extremely calm.

"Why not?"

Ruan Tang couldn't help but sneer, "Is it wearing the cloak of being a friend and doing the most reluctant thing?" ”

Chu Mu was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to reply to her for a while.

Because she seems to be right.

If she stayed, would he really be able to be pure friends with her? Obviously, it can't.

Ruan Tang didn't expect him to answer, and directly changed the topic, "Your Highness, let's go back, I'm sleepy." ”

Ruan Tang really didn't want to talk to him about this anymore, so he turned around and wanted to leave, but before his foot could step out, his arm was grabbed by Chu Mu, and in the next second, she was pulled into his arms.

"What if this king promises to be a pure friend with you? Would you like to stay? ”

"I don't want to!" Ruan Tang replied simply.

It's impossible.

They are not people of the same world, she wants freedom, and it has never been his.

The most important point is that she doesn't love him.
