53. Chapter 53
Qinglong Mountain, that is, the location of the back mountain of Haotian Royal Academy, is a small valley that is inaccessible, and there is also a waterhole where mountain springs converge, and the strange flowers and plants in the valley are like a fairyland.
Above a pile of rubble, two figures, one black and one white, danced like two butterflies, and it was Du Long who was dressed in black, and the beautiful woman in the white dress was naturally Xia Qinglian!
This will be two people are practicing the advanced version of Fengxing footwork on the pile of rocks, what is the advanced version, in fact, it is two people moving together at high speed in a limited space, during which no collision is allowed, and the basic steps of Fengxing footwork cannot be messed up!
In this way, the difficulty increases exponentially, and the cultivation is more fun!
Seeing a white shadow lightning flashing towards him, Du Long reflexively made a mysterious move, and the direction of the wind footwork on the soles of his feet changed, and he easily avoided the crisis of a collision.
The moment they passed by, the two eyes were intertwined, and there was no need for any words at all, just a look, from which you could see infinite tenderness and secret!
Call!
After practicing the Fengxing footwork almost perfectly, the two of them tacitly jumped out of the pile of rocks and landed on the grass next to them!
Xia Qinglian flashed to the edge of the pool, took out a silk scarf embroidered with blue lotus flowers from her arms, rubbed it in the clear pool, and then walked to Du Long, and gently wiped the sweat beads on his cheeks with this silk scarf with a unique body fragrance.
Du Long had long been accustomed to her gentle and considerate service, and after being polite a few times, Xia Qinglian still insisted on it, and he didn't say anything more!
"Childe, we have been skipping class one after another and coming to the back mountain to practice for half a month, Princess Huofeng seems to have an opinion, and she is always mentioning that she is also going to skip class and come to the back mountain to practice with us! Look at ......" helped Du Long wipe the sweat off his face, Xia Qinglian said softly.
"Alas, this unruly princess...... It's not that I don't want to take her out with me, after all, she is the princess of the empire, what is it like to be alone with a man for a long time?! She has no name and no share, which is very inappropriate for her reputation! Besides, if she is left behind because of this, if the emperor knows about it in the future, how will I explain it?!" Du Long had long known that Princess Huofeng wanted to cultivate with him, but he also had his own concerns.
"Although what Childe said is reasonable, it ...... But can't you see it?!" Xia Qinglian continued hesitantly.
"Can't see anything?!" Du Long asked with some confusion.
"I can't see Princess Huofeng's ...... to Childe Affection?!"
Xia Qinglian almost gritted her teeth and said this in the end, no matter what, her feelings for Du Long are sincere, let her connect Du Long with other women, this kind of thing really has to be big-minded.
Because of his background, it is impossible to become the main room of the Du family's grandson, plus Princess Huofeng has a great favor to herself, and she has lived in the same room in recent days, treating herself like a sister, Xia Qinglian naturally hopes that even if Du Long marries a wife in the future, she will marry a woman who will be better to herself!
Out of comprehensive considerations in many aspects, she also hesitated for a long time, and then she relentlessly and said Princess Huofeng's intentions, and after observing for a long time, she knew that Du Long should not know that Her Royal Highness the princess had feelings for him.
"Princess Huofeng is emotionally attracted to me?!" Sure enough, as Xia Qinglian guessed, Du Long pointed to the tip of his nose and laughed in disbelief: "Haha, how is it possible! I am a dignified princess of the empire, what am I? I am just the notorious second ancestor of the imperial capital, how can he de? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! She should just treat me as a little brother!"
"That's right, she doesn't have affection for me, she just treats me like a brother, at best with a family affection of pity!"
Looking at Du Long with a look of disbelief and constantly looking for excuses to justify himself, Xia Qinglian sighed lightly: "Alas, Childe, you must still be the concubine of the second-rank general of the dignified empire, or the grandson of the Du clan! At the age of sixteen, you became a student of the martial arts department of Haotian Royal Academy, and your future achievements are limitless, so why should you be arrogant?!"
"When you were young, you were despised because of your physical problems, dare to ask now, who dares to despise your son?! Now you go out into the street and see who in the neighborhood dares to be disrespectful to you as before?!"
Xia Qinglian is right, she has blindly lived in the inferiority complex of the past ten years, although after being reborn, this inferiority complex has weakened a lot, but in her bones, she still hides an inferiority complex deep in her heart.
It is precisely because of this that on weekdays, Princess Huofeng's kindness to herself is all regarded as the care of her sister to her younger brother, in fact, is this really the case?!
Shaking his head violently, Du Long showed a wry smile: "Qinglian, maybe, what you said is right! But, after all, Princess Huofeng is the princess of the empire, and she can't even decide who she will marry in the future, so I naturally don't dare to be delusional, besides, when I reach the age when I have to get married, can't I marry you and enter the door?"
"Who is going to marry you?!" After glancing at him coquettishly, Xia Qinglian lowered her head shyly and muttered, rarely showing such a charming and moving appearance in front of Du Long, and looked at him dumbfounded on the spot.
It seemed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Xia Qinglian raised her head just in time to see the long-admired Gongzi staring at her with burning eyes, her eyes did not hide her strange emotions, she couldn't help but be stunned, and her beautiful eyes were intertwined with Du Long's gaze.
At such a close distance, it is the age when love is beginning to bloom, how can Du Long still bear it, as if he was attracted by a huge magnet, his head slowly poked into the beautiful face that was close at hand.
Xia Qinglian froze there as if she was scared stupid, her face was flushed, her beautiful eyes looked at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer without blinking, she could feel a masculine aura getting closer and closer, and finally she couldn't help but close her eyes in shame!
The moment the lips touched, it seemed that an electric current suddenly flowed through the two of them, and at this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the young man and woman could not feel it at all.
As if feeling that this scene was a little embarrassing, the little golden snake on Du Long's arm hurriedly buried the snake's head in his sleeve, looking so cute that I couldn't see.
"Uh-huh, boy, it's not too early, it's time to go back for lunch! There are still military training classes in the afternoon that you need to study in person!" Just when Du Long was in a good state and couldn't help but reach out to hug Xia Qinglian, the voice of the Ring Spirit Beauty suddenly sounded in his mind.
Secretly rolling his eyes, Du Long could only let go of the beauty in his arms depressedly, and said with embarrassment on his old face with a blush: "Qing...... Hehe, it's time to go down the mountain, there are still military training classes to be held in the afternoon!"
At this moment, Xia Qinglian still closed her eyes, and after hearing Du Long's voice, she immediately lowered her head and replied shyly: "Well, then let's go down the mountain!"
After speaking, she was embarrassed to look up at Du Long, so she got up from the grass with a shy look!
Standing up, he lovingly reached out and gently hugged her thin willow waist, Du Long didn't say much, and directly expressed his heart with his actions, and walked down the mountain with his arms lightly.
This area is rarely visited, mainly because there is no mountain road leading directly here, these are nothing to Du Long and Xia Qinglian, who have cultivated the wind step, gently hugging the soft and boneless beauty, still moving forward with great ease all the way, and soon came to a mountain road, and quickly moved along the mountain road towards the academy.
Royal Academy, there is a public military training hall in the military training department, this military training hall is a public place where all military training courses can be studied, because the academy only has a military training hall, there are many classes in the college that can use it, like Du Long's class can only arrange to use three classes at most per month.
Because of this, this course is set as a compulsory course by the Ring Spirit Beauty, and if Du Long wants to develop in the military in the future, this kind of practical course is very important!
He had come to the Military Cultivation Hall to take a class before, and he was familiar with the road here, and after a hurried lunch, he led Xia Qinglian over together.
It seems that he has long been accustomed to the two of them being so elusive, Princess Huofeng and the others didn't say much, of course, a polite meal is inevitable, no one found that Du Long didn't seem to treat Princess Huofeng as casually as before, and actually became a little polite!
The Military Cultivation Hall, as the name suggests, is a place where troops are arranged on the sand table to conduct a simulated confrontation between the two armies!
This thing sounds a bit like talking on paper, but in practice, it's very similar to leading a war with a leader, and it's much more fun than chess and the like.
As first-year freshmen, Du Long and the others have not had the opportunity to show their skills on the simulated sand table, and what they are learning now is only the elementary knowledge of the sand table simulation drill, in fact, they are learning the various rules of the sand table arrangement!
Whether it is playing chess or really leading troops to fight, this sand table simulates the arrangement of troops, and then the confrontation between the two armies certainly has its rules, which can only be carried out according to the rules, and the final victory and defeat will be judged according to the rules, and must not be nonsense!
The military cultivator stood in front of a huge sand table, at this moment, this sand table was simulated as the terrain of a certain location on the border of the Haotian Empire, with hills, narrow valleys, grasslands, etc., it was a sand table where various terrains fused with each other.
On the sand table, the red and blue flags are full at both ends of the sand table, and the patterns on the red and blue flags are not the same, including infantry, cavalry, archers and so on.
In fact, as early as in the first-year classroom of the Department of Martial Arts, there was a general explanation of the rules of this sand table military push, and now it is just a review in front of the sand table object, everyone learns very quickly, and after the military cultivation instructor roughly introduces it, he begins to point to the sand table to solve it!
