104. Over-the-shoulder fall
"Princess, come on, I'm not afraid!"
The sun is shining brightly. Although one side of the trunk is pricked by a flying knife, the Hehua tree is still full of greenery.
Under the tree, Ah Fu was mourning, closed his eyes, and was trembling.
Yuan Qiu stood three meters away, wearing a red outfit, his hair was simply tied with a high ponytail, and there was a proud heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes.
This is only after I really started practicing martial arts. Yuan Qiu had a headache about this complicated ancient hairstyle. Many times he had to trouble Hongling to comb her hair. He decided early this morning and tied her hair up if she didn't go out in the future! What's so much trouble to do?
Seeing Afu's pretentious trembling, Yuan Qiu played with the flying knife in his hand and chuckled, "Little Afu, don't pretend."
Afu opened his eyes and coughed lightly, "Princess, I'm really afraid."
"Well, in order to avoid you losing your appearance or losing your life, you can avoid it in the smallest range. If I hurt you, you will lose. What if you lose?" Yuan Qiu asked. She was self-aware of her own strength and had no bad taste.
Afu's eyes lit up and nodded like pounding garlic, "Okay, okay! Thank you for not killing the princess!"
Yuan Qiu:...What a lie? She suddenly wanted to change her mind...
The fairy Su Mo was still sitting in the viewing pavilion, leisurely and at ease.
In the end, Yuan Qiu practiced against Afu for an hour, but did not hurt a single hair. It was purely because Afu was hiding quickly.
But it was a movable living target, and it was different from practicing the feeling of facing dead objects.
Yuan Qiu is not rushing to practice martial arts. As long as you make progress compared to yesterday, the soreness of your arms and wrists is worth it.
According to the agreement, during the day of Yuanqiu's martial arts practice, she would personally cook to prepare lunch for Su Mo. This is a restriction on "ordering service" that has been written into the family rules of the two.
Because if you personally take care of Su Mo’s three meals a day, it will take too much time and Yuan Qiu cannot accept it.
Xiliao Inn.
Early in the morning, Ji Chang was lying on his side, his face gloomy. He didn't know what he thought of, kicked away the maid who was serving, tied his robe, and called two confidants to come over.
"Prince, the sixth prince is still in the Duke Zhenguo's mansion. Do you need to go to Tantan again?" asked a subordinate.
Ji Chang shook his head, "Don't worry about him!"
Another subordinate asked, "Today, the prince is going to the Eastern Ming Palace again to discuss the exchange of the sixth prince. Will we leave after we have agreed?"
Ji Chang nodded and shook his head again, "Send someone back to report the matter first, I will not rush to leave."
After the words came, Ji Chang sneered, "How to deal with Rong Lan, the emperor has his ideas. For so many years, he has been obsessed with that bitch, which is not fake. But yesterday, the two who scolded me in the palace, can't just forget it!"
"What do you want to do?" asked the subordinate.
"Jun Zhaolin kept saying that Mu Yuanqiu was the sixth prince's concubine of Nanzhao Kingdom, and he couldn't control it. Since that's the case, if something happened to Su Mo and Mu Yuanqiu, Jun Zhaolin wouldn't control it either." Ji Chang snorted coldly, "Before I left Wan'an City, I would have fun with that couple!"
"Su Mo, is he really a useless man?" The subordinate looked inexplicably.
Ji Chang sneered, "This is what I want to know the most! I will send a few people to the Nan'an Palace tonight!"
On that day, Jun Zhaolin and several important officials were brought to negotiate with Ji Chang.
What Dongming Kingdom took this opportunity to get was agreed upon long ago. But the most important thing in negotiations is to test the other party's bottom line. They will be reserved at the beginning, and in the midst of constant tug-of-war, they will find the line that both parties can accept.
Ji Chang was very difficult to deal with. From the beginning, he had a clear attitude. The Western Liao royal family recognized Ji Fengyuan's identity as a prince and wanted to take him back, but Dongming's request was too much and could not be accepted.
Otherwise, it would be beyond his decision, and he could go back and ask Ji Yan for instructions before coming again.
But if this is the case, the time will be infinitely longer, and the Western Liao royal family will regret it.
For example, Ji Chang used the excuse of going back to ask for instructions and leaving Dongming. When he returned to Xiliao, he denied Ji Fengyuan's identity, saying that he was a fake prince and he admitted it for peace. What Dongming did before was in vain.
This is all possible. Dongming can be called "making a fortune by himself" this time and he will not suffer any loss, but he must stop when he knows it is better.
The first negotiation did not result.
That night, Yuan Qiu was about to sleep. Afu ran to Guanlanyuan and said that Su Mo wanted to have a midnight snack.
"The prince really treats the lady as a cook!" Hongling was very angry, thinking that Su Mo's behavior of having midnight snacks every day was too much. Yuan Qiu was spoiled by everyone at the Mu family, and when he got here, he had to cook every day.
"Don't say too much, I agreed." Yuan Qiu shook his head and ordered Hongling to prepare the ingredients.
Just because Su Mo sent someone to save Mu Yuanruo and Jun Zihuan, Yuan Qiu had no complaints about giving him midnight snacks.
I was not very happy last night and I said a few words to Su Mo, purely because he brought chopsticks to the palace for a banquet but deliberately ate nothing but was too weird.
But later I found out that there was something wrong with the chopsticks, so Yuan Qiu lost his temper and prepared carefully according to Su Mo's Yuan Qiu.
The reason why Ah Fu also had a share is because Yuan Qiu was not really angry, and beating him was just a joke at that time.
However, if Yuan Qiu knew that Afu had eaten the midnight snack she made last night and wanted to trick Su Mo into watching her take a shower, she would have really beaten Afu.
Yuan Qiu made chicken glutinous porridge, and asked Hongling to remove the freshest vegetables that were picked, and baked two vegetarian pies with golden and crispy skin.
Ah Fu would not come to get midnight snacks, so he had his little thoughts. What if Yuanqiu wanted to send it in person and go out to walk under the moon? So far, Yuanqiu has never set foot in Cangsong House, which is too unreasonable!
Tonight, the stars were shining brightly. Yuan Qiu handed the food box to Hongling, looked up at the night sky, and became really interested in going out for a walk.
"It's getting late, the lady rests early, I'll send it to you and come back." Hongling said.
"I'm not sleepy either, I'll just walk around the lake." Yuan Qiu said with a smile.
So, Hongling carried the food box and followed Yuanqiu out of Guanlanyuan and walked towards Cangsongju.
This is the first time Yuan Qiu has taken a walk outside at night. The air is filled with the fresh and quiet fragrance of flowers, and you can still hear the sound of insects and birds singing, which is quite natural and elegant.
"I'm going to ask my master for advice tomorrow. If you see Afu later, please ask him to catch two fish tomorrow morning." Yuan Qiu said to Hongling.
After eating the boiled fish made by Yuanqiu, Liu Zhong fell in love with it. The fresh fish in Wangfu Lake in Nan'an was well-known, and Yuanqiu's cooking skills were excellent.
Duan Rong is a taciturn but considerate elder. After he and Duan Yunhe moved to the capital, they did not often come to Yuan Qiu. They were afraid of disturbing her, so they did not let Duan Yunhe come too diligently.
Duan Yunhe has been busy with business affairs recently. Duan Rong is basically in the Doctor Liu during the day, chatting with Liu Zhong, giving advice on Fan Ao's martial arts skills, and helping to take care of the children.
Yuan Qiu went over to ask Liu Zhong every few days, so Duan Rong could see this granddaughter and eat the delicious food made by Yuan Qiu. There was no need for Yuan Qiu to think about visiting him alone.
Hongling thought Yuan Qiu was going to go to Cangsongju together, but when she heard the order, she was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, I will tell Ah Fu. Miss. Don't go far. Just walk around the lake. I will send it over and come back soon."
After the words came, the two separated, Hongling continued to go to Cangsongju, and Yuanqiu walked alone by the lake.
The night breeze was blowing and the water was rippling. Yuan Qiu picked up a stone and drifted it. When he was content with his complacent, several black shadows rushed out of the peach forest on the other side and rushed towards him!
Yuan Qiu was a little confused for a moment. Assassin? But she was going to bed, but she had changed her clothes, but she didn't carry a flying knife and didn't hold a dagger. She even took off the hidden weapon ring on her finger while bathing and put it on the head of the bed.
Although he learned Taekwondo in his previous life and learned self-defense at the Mu family, he was not unable to fight with bare hands, but Yuan Qiu knew how much he was when he faced more than a dozen assassins.
So, after reacting, Yuan Qiu shouted in the direction of Cang Songju, "Help!"
Just as the midnight snack was set, Su Mo picked up the spoon and the chicken porridge had not yet been put into his mouth, he heard Yuan Qiu's cry for help.
The next moment, there was no one in front of Ah Fu.
The assassin crossed the lake and approached Yuan Qiu at a very fast speed. Yuan Qiu ran towards Cangsongju while preparing for battle.
Even if you are injured, you must not be caught, as it will be really troublesome.
But Yuan Qiu turned around and was shocked to find that the assassin who was originally closest to him was already in a different place! The other assassins were also blocked by a short old man!
Yuan Qiu quickly identified from his figure that he was the old man Zhou who was looking at the gate. Unexpectedly, he was also a hidden master.
Yuan Qiu regained his sight and continued to run towards Cangsongju.
Not familiar with this place, Yuan Qiu and Hongling missed it. They ran over a corner and saw a black shadow appearing in front of them, very close.
The night was dark, and Yuan Qiu rushed forward without thinking, and then he fell over his shoulders firmly!
Ah Fu, who followed closely behind, looked at Yuan Qiu stuttering Su Mo under his feet in amazement!
"Princess!" Ah Fu exclaimed.
"Afu, come! I caught an assassin!" Yuan Qiu felt relieved, and after he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. Why did this assassin have no combat power?
The next moment, Yuan Qiu was pushed back by a force, and the "assassin" on the ground stood up slowly, with a slender figure.
"Hahahahahahaha!" Ah Fu let out a burst of laughter, "Master, you were actually knocked down by the princess! Hahahaha!"
Yuan Qiu looked embarrassed, "Why are you? Sorry, you didn't hurt you, are you?"
"It must be hurt! The princess is about to take her master back to Cangsongju, take off her clothes and check it out!" Ah Fu smiled and was kicked away by Su Mo.
To be honest, Yuan Qiu has never experienced a real battle when he traveled over. Without experience, he will inevitably make mistakes.
But she felt that Su Mo was knocked down, and she only took half of the responsibility, and the other half was Su Mo's own.
Su Mo must have deliberately refused to fight back, wanting to see what move she could do, so he let Yuan Qiu fall him.
"That move just now is pretty good." Su Mo's words confirmed Yuan Qiu's guess. After he said it, he left gracefully. The word "misfortune" has never had anything to do with him.
Yuan Qiu laughed and bowed to Su Mo's back, "Thank you, Tianxian, for not placing concerns with us and other mortals."
