Chapter 373 is about 10 cents
Seeing Lin Tanhua almost falling, Miss Fan hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and glared at Zhou Ji angrily.
Xu Fengnian said helplessly, "No, where did you get so many melon seeds?"
"I just bought sauced beef on the street, and saw a lot of sunflowers planted next to the shop, so I picked up a few." Zhou Ji pointed behind him and explained casually.
"Sunflower beef sauce? What the hell?"
Xu Fengnian's mind suddenly appeared a figure with an expressionless face who only knew "hehe" perfunctory, then shook his head, changed the subject and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Lin Tanhua's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he stood outside for so long. Let's go to the mansion quickly."
At the same time, in front of the North Star sauce shop, a young girl in a yellow shirt and a red skirt stood blankly by the street, as if she was being held in place by something, and looked at the green space in front of her.
In the morning, the sun was still rising, showing her a golden smile, and when she returned at noon, there was only a piece of bare poles left, swaying with the breeze.
"Where are sunflowers as big as my sunflower?" Hehe, the girl couldn't even laugh out of the perfunctory hehe at the moment, and ran back to the shop in a hurry, gesticulating to Boss Jia of the stewed meat shop with both hands and feet.
'Ah Choo~! '
Zhou Ji put away the melon seeds and couldn't help but sneezed. He looked around suspiciously, thinking that he was new here, so he didn't seem to provoke anyone, right?
There was no figure of Nangong Pushe left or right, so Zhou Ji asked Xu Fengnian curiously. At this moment, Xu Fengnian and Lin Tanhua had formed an outspoken 'Anti-Xu Fengnian Alliance'. Chao Ting wanted to send Zhou Ji away.
Holding the flowerpot, Zhou Ji looked at the upright vines standing still in the cool wind, shook his head immediately, and said with a sneer, "I just asked casually, I have nothing to talk to her about, so I'm looking for her." What are you doing?"
Chaohu Lake is just opposite Tingchao Pavilion, until he passed through the corridor, the upright vines still did not forgive him, Zhou Jizhi walked in the corridor pavilion, and did not follow to the platform between Tingchao Pavilion and Chaohu Lake.
Lin Tanhua glanced over Zhou Ji who was talking with the potted plants, and heaved a sigh of relief.
After Xu Fengnian revealed his identity, and Zhou Jiyuan retreated to the lakeside in Laohuang, there were only two or three maids by his side.
Lin Tanhuatu saw it poorly, walked up to Miss Fan, and said in a deep voice: "Although the son has a lot of bad deeds, he is not small. He doesn't even have a guard around him when he meets people, so he is not afraid of being assassinated!"
"Dare to assassinate in the palace, that person is not small."
Xu Fengnian was as calm and confident as ever. He had seen Zhou Ji make a move. The pavilion and the floating platform were a hundred paces away in a straight line. With Zhou Ji's speed of fighting Western Chu thieves outside the city, he could arrive in an instant.
Lin Tanhua gestured to Miss Fan with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "So what if you risk your life for the people of the world!"
After the words fell, the girl Fan who had been silent all the way drew her sword out of its sheath, leaped forward and stabbed at Xu Fengnian, and two voices rang out at the same time.
"Traitor, die!"
"Old Zhou, help!"
Miss Fan scolded, subconsciously looked at the pavilion behind Xu Fengnian, not only her, but even Lin Tanhua also focused on Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji was still talking to Si Teng with a flower pot at the moment. Hearing Xu Fengnian's call for help, he turned around and looked down the stage. The sword, approaching forward, captured the opponent neatly.
Zhou Ji fiddled with the vine branches and leaves with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "It seems that I don't need to save you."
I didn't expect that Jade Bird, who had been with me for so long, would know martial arts.
Xu Fengnian suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, picked up the long sword that fell on the ground, and threatened Lin Tanhua, who was in love for a second, to kill the woman, as a token of honor.
Lin Tanhua saw Xu Fengnian's intention of probing, and pretended to be a frail scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken. He raised his sword for a long time and dared not swing it down.
The positions of the two were ever-changing, and they performed what is called a real "cake in a cake" in front of Zhou Ji. In the end, Xu Fengnian still misjudged Lin Tanhua's strength. He didn't expect that he was showing weakness when he fell and limped all the way. The center of the lake found out Lin Tanhua's true intentions, but on the way to the lakeside dock, Lin Tanhua took the opportunity to shoot, and almost injured Jiang Ni with a short dagger.
Because it was right by the lake, the blue bird didn't arrive in time, so Xu Fengnian pushed Jiang Ni into the lake water. Seeing the cold light of the short blade flashed in front of him, Xu Fengnian himself fell into the water on his back, splashing a lot of water.
Lin Tanhua was born in the Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River. He is familiar with water skills. He knew that the guards of the palace would arrive soon. Now is his only chance to assassinate Xu Fengnian. With a sneer, he bit his dagger and jumped into the lake.
However, the jumping figure has not yet fallen into the water, but the whole person has stopped in mid-air.
Waving his hands and feet, he drew ripples on the surface of the lake. Zhou Ji held the flower pot in one hand, and slipped Lin Tanhua's back in the other hand. He threw him back to the floating platform, and looked down at Gulu Gulu Mao. The surface of the lake covered with blisters showed a surprised expression, "Tsk tsk tsk~ After being stabbed to death, I actually staged an idol drama under the water."
Reaching out to stop the sweet potato and young fish Wei who came after hearing the news, Zhou Ji said with a strange expression: "Don't worry. Let them kiss for a while."
“.”
“.”
Sweet Potato and Fish Young Wei looked at each other, two heads popped out of the water, Xu Fengnian struggled to lift Jiang Ni to the shore, asked Yu Young Wei to send Jiang Ni back to the room first, and asked Sweet Potato to find towels and clean clothes.
Seeing Xu Fengnian crawling out of the water in embarrassment, Zhou Ji reached out and grabbed him by the collar, lifted him to the shore, and said with a smirk, "How does artificial respiration feel?"
"Very good~" Xu Fengnian touched the corner of his mouth subconsciously, quickly reacted, raised his voice an octave, and said anxiously, "The situation was too critical just now, do you understand that I was saving lives?"
"Understood~ Isn't it just to pass the breath?" Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.
Xu Fengnian glanced at the flower pot in Zhou Ji's arms, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in surprise: "Old Zhou is very experienced! Could it be that he also spends time with others? Is it with his sister-in-law? Or with someone else?"
The smile on Zhou Ji's face suddenly froze. He looked down at the vines slowly extending towards his face, subconsciously raised his body, and stretched his arms a little further.
Respond to the rant, refreshed.
Xu Fengnian took the towel and clothes from Sweet Potato, asked about Jiang Ni's situation, confirmed that she was just a little frightened, and choked on a few sips of water before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Sweet Potato walking away, Xu Feng's young and frivolous expression gradually became serious, his smile was restrained, and he said quietly, "I have thought about what you told me last time."
Zhou Ji's eyes were calm and his expression was as usual, waiting for him to continue speaking.
Xu Fengnian took a step back, bowed and gave a long salute, and said sincerely: "Old Zhou, I want to learn lightness kung fu."
Just now when Lin Tanhua was assassinated suddenly, Jiang Ni subconsciously stood in front of her. If she hadn't been close to the lake, he would have pushed her into the lake dangerously, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
Seeing a trace of fear flashing in Xu Fengnian's eyes, Zhou Ji nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Okay, I can teach you."
Old Huang didn't know why, seeing Xu Fengnian turned around and jumped into the lake again, fished out the simple and old wooden box from the position by the lake, and handed it over.
"I said how you look at it today, you always feel that something is missing. Look, I found it for you."
Old Huang glanced at Zhou Ji, then at Xu Fengnian, his eyes dodged, and he said with a complicated expression: "Actually, you don't have to."
Xu Fengnian wiped off the water stains on his face, and said seriously: "Old Huang, although I don't know what this thing is, and I don't know what's in it, but I know that you have been carrying it for so many years. You are very important."
Lao Huang lowered his head to show his usual naive smile, the corners of his mouth twitched, but his smile was so bitter.
Seeing Xu Fengnian comforting Huang with sincerity, Zhou Ji moved a few steps away and walked away quietly.
Xu Fengnian is not the Fan Xian he knew before, but they share some very similar qualities.
Unreserved sincerity to those around him, perhaps, this is the reason why he and Fan Xian can become friends?
Early the next morning, Zhou Ji went to the garden to collect morning dew for Si Teng, when he heard heavy footsteps, and saw Xu Fengnian walking towards this side with a heavy heart.
In the past few days, the people in the courtyard have gradually adapted to the dew that floats every morning and evening, and it is easy to find Zhou Ji's position along the trajectory of the dew.
Water drops dripped from his fingertips, Zhou Ji raised his eyes to look at Xu Fengnian, and said with a smile: "Look at your mountain-topped appearance, you shouldn't ask me to learn light kung fu?"
Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I just have nothing to do, and I want to talk to someone."
Why are you idle, I think you have something on your mind?
Zhou Ji waved his sleeves to disperse the dew in the garden, and lowered his head to play with the branches and leaves of the vines.
"I went to see Xu Xiao yesterday." Xu Fengnian said with a serious face, "He told me to make a choice, either kill Ning Emei, or send my brother Huang Man'er away"
Xu Fengnian took Huang Man'er, who was supported by someone in Beiliang's army, to take over Beiliang, and wanted to use his childlike and simple character as a puppet to take control of Beiliang.
Xu Fengnian didn't fully believe Xu Xiao's words, but he had no soldiers and no power of his own. Even the maids who accompanied him back then were dead soldiers arranged by Xu Xiao.
As if caught in a big net, he is struggling, and he is even more powerless to change what Xu Xiao has already decided.
"That's how things are." Xu Fengnian said bitterly, "Even I don't know where Xu Xiao is going to send Huang Man'er."
After listening to Xu Fengnian's story, Zhou Ji nodded slightly, and stopped stroking the vines, "I don't know much about the sects in the world, but maybe someone can guess where your father will send Xu Longxiang."
"Who is it?" Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Old Huang."
The light in Xu Fengnian's eyes dimmed, and his shoulders slumped, "Just him? Just him"
Xu Fengnian originally had a wry smile on his face, but the smile gradually subsided and his expression became serious.
Qingniao just told him that Xu Xiao arranged a total of four dead soldiers by his side, two of them have already died, and the last one is left.
Is Lao Huang the last one?
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Isn't it? You already knew it by asking him face to face."
Xu Fengnian and Zhou Ji immediately went to Lao Huang's place and asked about his identity.
In the entire mansion, Xu Fengnian was closest to these people in the courtyard. Knowing the identity of the blue bird, Xu Fengnian was fine on the surface, but felt a little uncomfortable after all.
If even Lao Huang is a so-called 'dead man', Xu Fengnian really doesn't know the whole General's Mansion, who else can he trust?
After confirming again and again from Lao Huang that he was not the last dead man, Xu Fengnian's tense nerves finally relaxed a lot, he let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his stiff face.
"Old Huang, can you guess where Xu Xiao will send Huang Man'er?" Xu Fengnian looked at Old Huang expectantly.
"I can indeed guess where it's going." Lao Huang poured a cup of tea for Xu Fengnian, motioned him not to get excited, and said in a deep voice, "But it doesn't matter where you send it to. The important thing is whether you don't want the little prince to leave, young master."
Zhou Ji's eyes were fixed, and he could hear a different meaning from Lao Huang's words, like a person with the will to die, looking for a reason to die calmly.
"Of course I don't want to!" Xu Fengnian didn't notice this, or he didn't have time to pay attention at all. At this time, he looked sad, his eyes were wet, and he was a little choked up while speaking, "But what's the use of me not wanting? Eldest sister and second sister go away I didn't want to, and in the end, if I didn't return, I would leave, and I'm just a prince who doesn't deserve the name."
"You don't want to be a person like Xu Xiao, but you can become a person like Wang Xianzhi." Zhou Ji shook his head and sighed softly, "No one in the world can force Wang Xianzhi to marry a daughter and send a son as a pledge, right? "
"Who would dare to play against a chessboard that sweeps across the board?"
Xu Fengnian muttered, reading out what Zhou Ji had said in Zijin Tower.
In the entire Liyang Dynasty, no one could force Wang Xianzhi to marry his daughter, and no one could threaten him to send his son as a proton.
However, there is only one Wang Xianzhi in the world.
Old Huang heard the name again, his expression was gloomy, and he subconsciously pressed the wooden box on the table.
At the beginning when he and Wang Xianzhi fought at the head of Wudi City, only five of the six famous swords in the box remained.
After so many years, Lao Huang's blood energy began to decline due to old age, and his realm also fell from Zhixuan to King Kong. Now if he goes to Wudi City to complete the battle of the year.
Old Huang himself knows that he will die without life.
Old Huang watched Xu Fengnian grow up since he was a child, and he has long regarded him as his blood relative.
When the eldest lady and the second lady left the house, not only Xu Fengnian was sad, but even Lao Huang himself was a little sad. Now even Huang Man'er is going to be sent away by Xu Xiao, so he uses his old life to plan a new life for the young master. A fleeting possibility!
Looking up at Xu Fengnian, Lao Huang's eyes are firm and he has made a decision.
At this moment, Xu Fengnian also tilted his head to look at Zhou Ji, and said seriously, "Old Zhou, who is better, you or Wang Xianzhi?"
Zhou Ji said with a strange expression: "I haven't played, probably, it's ten."
