Chapter 13: Guards

After an hour, Zhuo Feiyang challenged again, but as soon as he made a move, he was immediately hit by a sword, and his face was pale and ugly.

The sword pierced him in the shoulder, and he could no longer use his hand.

He gritted his teeth, blushed his face, turned around and left without saying a word, even ignoring Su Ru and Zhao Ying, covering his shoulders and walking away.

When Zhao Ying was about to get on the boat, he glanced at Chu Li fiercely, the enmity between Zhuo Chu and Chu was even greater, and it was difficult for him to persuade him to make peace again.

Chu Li smiled apologetically.

When he watched the boat disappear, he turned his head to meet Su Ru's smiling eyes.

Su Ru pursed her lips and chuckled: "Chu Li, do you like Zhao Ying?"

Chu Li smiled.

Su Ru chuckled: "It seems that she prefers Zhuo Feiyang, but that's also true, the two of you stand together, Zhuo Feiyang has more advantages." ”

Chu was silent.

Su Ru looked at him with a smile: "Zhao Ying seems to be quite popular." ”

"She is beautiful, gentle and kind, what man doesn't like it?" Chu Li sighed, feeling melancholy in his heart, Zhao Ying didn't like her.

"Do you think there's hope?"

"Of course!"

"I'll see it!" Su Ru pursed her lips and chuckled, "Can you beat Zhuo Feiyang?"

"......" Chu Li frowned.

Zhuo Feiyang is not only a genius, but also handsome, more likable to women than himself, he does not deceive himself, he is indeed not as good as Zhuo Feiyang, and women like Zhuo Feiyang a lot, full of masculinity, amazing charm, he is dull in front of Zhuo Feiyang.

"Discouraged and disappointed, right?" said Su Ru with a smile, looking at him with bright eyes like water.

Chu Li shook his head and said, "I won't give up!"

"That's right!" Su Ru smiled: "Giving up is not like Chu leaving you...... Do you want me to help?"

Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Su Ru smiled: "Don't believe I can help?"

"Thank you, Steward!" Chu Li hugged his fists and saluted deeply: "Please help me!"

When you should ask for someone, you don't hesitate to ask for someone, you are willing to go out and be cheeky, how can you get a woman without this open-mindedness!

Su Ru giggled, laughed for a long time and shook her head: "You men...... Really!"

Chu Li smiled embarrassedly: "You can't watch the woman you like being snatched by other men, right?" besides, Zhuo Feiyang is not a good companion, I can't watch Senior Sister Zhao jump into the fire pit!"

"I still don't know your thoughts?" Su Rubai snorted with a glance: "You men think that only you are worthy of beauty, and you shouldn't be with other men!"

Chu Li laughed twice.

Su Ru snorted: "Okay, I'm not kidding you, I'm here this time for business." ”

"Yes!" Chu Li's expression became serious.

Su Ru glanced around, Li Yue was not there, only the two of them stood by the lake, slightly soothing, the lake water was refreshing, empty and quiet.

"Can you plant a lot of fairy beards?"

"If you're not afraid of destroying the land, no problem. ”

"Well, a large number of fairy whiskers are needed this time, you can plant them as soon as possible!"

"How much?"

"At least twenty acres!"

"Twenty acres!?" Chu Li frowned at her: "These twenty acres of land will be wasted, and it will take at least five years to recover!"

"Hmm. ”

β€œ...... It is best to choose to plant outside the house, and the more fertile the soil, the better. ”

"That's exactly what I mean!" Su Ru bowed his head lightly and muttered: "This matter must be kept secret!"

Chu Li nodded slowly.

Looking at Su Ru's demeanor, he knew that this matter could not be made public.

"There is a valley on the other side of the 100,000 mountains, which is very secret, and you go there to plant, and the land there is very rich. ”

"Yes. Chu Li nodded without hesitation.

"This matter is confidential and cannot be noticed. Su Ru shook her head: "But you can't make a mistake, so I'm going to give you a guard." ”

"One more person, one more risk. Chu Li said: "Myself!"

"What if something happens halfway!" Su Rubai snorted at him, "Can you handle it?"

Chu Li raised his eyebrows, smiled, and looked in the direction where the boat disappeared in the distance.

Su Ru snorted: "Okay, let Zhao Ying follow you!"

"Thank you, manager!" Chu Li was overjoyed and hugged his fists.

"Hmph, this is what you wanted, but the matter is going to be messed up, you will be demoted to two grades, and Zhao Ying will also be demoted to a miscellaneous servant!"

"Yes!"

"You know how to get out in trouble when you go out, right?"

"Don't worry, our identities will never be revealed!"

"Count you smart!" Su Ru nodded with satisfaction, this matter to Chu Li can be regarded as a test, seeing that he is useless.

――

Early in the morning, the south gate of the Guogong Mansion.

Under the bright sun, the two bronze giant lions seem to come to life, and they will pounce and devour people at any time.

Zhao Ying wore a lake green shirt, led a jujube red horse, and stood quietly next to a giant lion, staring at the door with bright eyes.

It was still early, almost no one was in or out of the door, and her slender moth eyebrows frowned from time to time, and this mission made her a little curious.

When she received the task, the content of the task was to escort a person, act secretly, and she was not allowed to say it to anyone, and she did not say who the other party was, only to wait at the south gate in the morning, and someone would come to look for her.

She was curious and excited, and it was rare for her to come across an outing mission.

I don't know how many people will be on this mission, who will be escorted, and which high-powered big man may be, only these big people will be secretive, afraid that others will know.

The Guogong Mansion is powerful and prominent, and its prestige spreads all over the world, but these prestige names are piled up by people, and there are many enemies, and those martial arts characters are bloody, and they don't want to die for revenge, once their whereabouts are revealed, they may be surrounded by a group of vicious wolves.

She was just a nine-rank guard, and it was the first time she participated in this kind of confidential operation, she was inexplicably excited, her eyes lit up, and she waited for a while, without the slightest feeling of impatience.

She suddenly saw Chu Li, and hurriedly waved her little hand, signaling Chu Li to come over, hurry up and leave, no need to come over to say hello.

Although he was curious about why Chu Li was also leading the horse, as if he was going to leave the house, he didn't care about this, he was focused on the person who was going to appear, and he didn't want to miss that person or leave a bad impression on the other party.

Chu Li led a jujube red horse and came to Zhao Ying slowly.

Zhao Yingming's eyes quickly swept around, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Chu, what are you doing!"

Chu Li smiled and said, "Senior Sister Zhao, who are you waiting for?"

"Didn't wait for anyone!" Zhao Ying said busily.

This mission was confidential and could not be said to anyone, and she kept that in mind.

Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "You're waiting for me, right?"

"Nonsense, I didn't wait for anyone!" Zhao Yingjiao snorted and waved her little hand: "Senior Brother Chu, if you have anything to say another day, hurry up and hurry up with you, I'll leave immediately!"

Chu Li laughed.

Zhao Ying frowned and glared at him.

Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "Senior Sister Zhao, you are indeed waiting for me." ”

"Senior Brother Chu-!" Zhao Ying stomped her feet and was angry, and her jade face turned red.

Chu Li said: "Your mission this time is to escort me!"

"Huh-?" Zhao Yingming's eyes widened.

Chu Li nodded and said, "Yes, it's to escort me, a confidential mission." ”

"Really...... Is it really you?" Zhao Yingming blinked and pointed at him in surprise.

Chu Li smiled: "There's a word on your mission book, right?"

Zhao Ying frowned and looked at him.

Chu Li said: "You have the waist card of the Guogong Mansion on you, right?"

Zhao Ying nodded.

"You can't take it, put it back, you can't bring anything that identifies you on this mission. ”

"Is it really you?" asked Zhao Ying disappointedly.

Chu Li smiled: "Hurry up, let's set off quickly!"

"Are there any other guards?"

"It's gone, it's just you, your task is big!"

"Why me?"

"I'll explain to you on the way, hurry up!" Chu Li waved his hand.

Zhao Ying glanced at him, turned around and walked towards the house, and quickly disappeared with light skills.

After a while, she hurried back and hummed, "Let's go!"

The two men mounted their horses and walked on their backs.

The south gate of the Guogong Mansion is the north gate of Chongming City, the two of them walk slowly in Chongming City, the traffic around is busy, it is very lively, the whole Chongming City is like a lively morning market, more lively than usual.

"Why am I the only one?"

"It's not noticeable, the two of us look like a couple, and we won't attract attention. ”

β€œ...... Who's a couple with you?"

"Hehe......"

"I'm just a nine-rank guard, and I can't do martial arts. Zhao Ying was a little embarrassed.

This is the first time to carry out a secret mission, and the reward for a secret mission is three times that of a normal mission, and not everyone can take it, so it stands to reason that he is not qualified to take on such a secret mission at all.

"If you can do without martial arts, it is better not to use martial arts. Chu Li sat on the horse and drove the horse lazily.

"What if it's dangerous?"

"There's only one word - run!"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Dress up as a couple!"

"Senior Brother Chuβ€”!" Zhao Ying glared at him dissatisfied.

"Senior Sister Zhao, don't you want to take on this task?" Chu Li said with a smile: "I really don't want to take it, you can change people." ”

Zhao Yingbai snorted at him: "Who said I didn't want to take it!"

Chu Li said: "You won't hold a grudge against me, will you?"

"What are you doing with a grudge?"

"I defeated Zhuo Feiyang, do you think you can't bear it?"

"What nonsense, who can't bear it!" Zhao Yingjiao said angrily: "It's just a martial arts competition, Senior Brother Zhuo is a martial arts wizard, and he can surpass you sooner or later, Senior Brother Chu, it's not good for you to be so proud!"

"Who said Zhuo Feiyang could surpass me?"

Zhao Ying pouted her cherry sip, she didn't want to reveal Chu Li's scars, she couldn't practice internal skills without building a foundation, she was so pitiful that she couldn't bear to declare it.

Chu Li smiled: "Senior Sister Zhao likes Zhuo Feiyang very much, right?"

Zhao Yingbai didn't say anything.

Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "Who made Zhuo Feiyang have a flattering face, alas...... , but I didn't expect Senior Sister Zhao to judge people by her appearance like this. ”

"Senior Brother Chu, don't talk nonsense, who judges people by their appearance!" Zhao Ying said angrily: "I don't like Senior Brother Zhuo either!"

"Anyone can see that you like Zhuo Feiyang!"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Yingjiao said angrily: "I'm just asking Senior Brother Zhuo for advice and improving my martial arts as soon as possible!"

"It's better to follow him for advice!" Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "He only buries his head in stupid practice, he doesn't read books, and his martial arts knowledge is far behind!"

"Senior Brother Chu, you need to practice martial arts, you need to practice, it's useless to just read books!" Zhao Ying disagreed.

Chu Li shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Zhao, your idea is wrong. ”

The two of them said while riding through the bustling crowd, attracting people's attention, although the man was not handsome enough, but he was better than the air, and the woman was beautiful, quite compatible.

Chu Li is not in a hurry, sitting on the horse and enjoying it slowly, experiencing the strong breath of life, it has been a long time since he has such a relaxed and comfortable state of mind.

Zhao Ying snorted: "Senior Brother Chu, why am I wrong?"

Chu Li said: "You think that the martial arts you practice are unique, don't you know, just repeat the old path of your predecessors, there are a lot of cultivation notes in the Yanwu Palace, recording your own cultivation experience, you don't read it, just explore it yourself......"

He shook his head and sighed, "It's a pure waste of time!"

"The experience of self-exploration is deeper. Zhao Ying snorted.

Chu Li shook his head and said, "According to what you say, you don't need a Master, just practice slowly!"

"Hmph, I won't tell you!" Zhao Ying was short of words.

Chu Li said, "Senior Sister Zhao, you are practicing the Feiyan Sword Technique, right?"

"Not bad. ”

"Show me when you have time. ”

"Senior Brother Chu, you also know the Feiyan Sword Technique?"

"I understand a little, I've read a few cultivation notes. ”

β€œ...... Good. Zhao Ying snorted, but I wanted to see if he was blowing a conch!
