Chapter 396 Your father will only arrange for old men.
"Ah~ I'm really sorry for you." Looking at Xu Fengnian's bewildered look, Xiao Que'er shook her head regretfully, turned around and winked at Jiang Ni, and said meaningfully: "Brother Fengnian is doing you a favor."
"What did I miss? Why did I take advantage of you?" Xu Fengnian tilted his head and looked at the back of Xiao Que'er striding away, feeling like he had missed many things.
Jiang Ni was stunned, but understood what Xiao Queer meant, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and then restrained herself, "Hey, don't ask."
Jiang Ni knew very well that Mr. Zhou Ji next to him had a heart of gossip and a mouth full of fire, so he quickly stepped forward to stand between Xu Fengnian and Zhou Ji, and looked at the curved wooden box in his arms. , bypassing the topic and said, "Your mother gave this to you?"
"Great Liang Longque, my mother's sword." Xu Fengnian looked down at the simple pattern on the sword box, and smiled.
Jiang Ni asked suspiciously: "Didn't you learn swords? Could it be that you have learned swords instead?"
"I support this~!" Zhou Ji raised his hand and said, "Although swords and swords are all fierce soldiers, they seem to be capable of everything, but they are actually different in nature. There is not much difference in the limit of martial arts, but if you practice further, A knife is a knife, and a sword is a sword."
"I'm pretty good with a knife, and I don't intend to give up the knife to learn the sword." Xu Fengnian shook his head and chuckled, and handed the sword case to Jiang Ni, "What's more, this is a betrothal gift from my mother to my future daughter-in-law."
Jiang Ni stretched out her hand to take it, when she heard the second half of the sentence, she felt like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, jumped up instantly, retracted her hands behind her back, and took a half step back: "What are you doing?"
Xu Fengnian saw Jiang Ni's stress reaction, held back his smile, and said as a matter of course: "You are my maid, you don't hold the sword for me, you want me to hold it myself?"
Jiang Ni's eyes wandered, and she responded with some embarrassment: "Is that what you mean?"
"What else?" Xu Fengnian asked back, Jiang Ni hurriedly hugged the sword box and shook his head, "No otherwise, no otherwise"
Xu Fengnian couldn't help laughing, turned to look at Zhou Ji and said, "The relationship between Beiliang and the Qingyang faction must not be leaked out, at least the Liyang royal family must feel that the conflict between me and the Qingyang faction has not been resolved. That's why Prince Beiliang put me down the mountain."
Speaking of this, Xu Fengnian said sincerely: "I will go out through the main gate alone later, and I will ask Lao Zhou to take care of Jiang Ni for me, and take her out through the side gate, and go around the forest to the mountain road behind. I will be with the team Waiting for you to meet up there."
Zhou Ji said indifferently, "Since I brought this girl up the mountain, I have the responsibility to bring her back safe and sound."
Jiang Ni struggled to hold the sword case half as tall as a person, stretched out her hand to brush the hair hanging by her ears, and looked at Xu Fengnian with a bit of resentment, her eyes full of resistance.
“.”
When the two of them flew from the roof to the courtyard, Xu Fengnian saw Zhou Ji grabbing Jiang Ni by the collar, as if he was holding a little chicken and putting it on the ground.
Although it looks better than being caught in the elbow or carried on the shoulder, Xu Fengnian can't help but empathize with Jiang Nisheng's frustration.
Xu Fengnian sighed, and gestured with ten pennies: "Is ten pennies okay?"
"Twenty Wen!" Jiang Ni immediately counter-offered when he heard the money.
"Deal!" Xu Fengnian interrupted directly, took out two strings of copper coins from his sleeve and threw them into Jiang Ni's arms, without giving her any room for regret.
Jiang Ni showed a bright smile on her face, but when she saw Xu Fengnian's quick move to take out the money, her blooming smile suddenly retracted, her eyes wandered back and forth between the copper coin and Xu Fengnian, and she was extremely annoyed: "Am I going to lose money?"
Xu Fengnian ignored Jiang Ni's remorse, and carefully chose his words: "Old Zhou, Auntie said that there is a ferocious beast in the back mountain of Qingcheng. When you go down the mountain later, you'd better 'walk' close to the forest and be as cautious as possible."
Hearing that Xu Fengnian specially added the accent on the word'go', Zhou Ji immediately understood what Xu Fengnian meant, and said with a dumbfounded smile: "Well, then let's go."
With Zhou Ji around, Xu Fengnian felt relieved, and after saying goodbye to Zhao Yutai and Wu Lingsu, he walked towards the main entrance alone.
Zhou Ji turned to look at Jiang Ni, but saw Jiang Ni's nervous expression and stiff body, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered standing in place, closing his eyes and waiting to be picked up.
Zhou Ji laughed out loud, condensed a drop of water from the void, raised his finger and flicked it, and tapped it between her eyebrows.
Jiang Ni was shocked by the drops of water, and immediately trembled, her closed eyes quietly narrowed a gap, seeing Zhou Ji waving at her outside the door, "Why are you standing still, let's go too."
"Oh~oh~~" Jiang Ni's tense nerves finally relaxed, raised her knees to push against the sword box that was about to slip, and chased after Zhou Ji with her hands clasped tightly. The two went out from the side door and walked along the edge of the mountain road , From time to time, I heard the low roar of the ferocious beast echoing in the depths of the dense forest, with a bit of pain, but it seemed to be desperately restrained, not wanting others to find out.
Walking on the desolate mountain road, listening to the wailing again and again, Jiang Ni's originally relaxed nerves tensed again, and followed Zhou Ji step by step, for fear of being lost in the dense forest.
Zhou Ji saw Jiang Ni's uneasiness, and said with a smile: "Listening to the roar, the tiger kui in the mountain should be giving birth. As long as we don't invade its territory, it won't come out on its own initiative."
As soon as the words fell, there was another low growl, this time even Jiang Ni could hear the weakness of the roar, the vegetation in the forest shook slightly, but Jiang Ni lost the panic just now, raised her eyes to look deep into the forest, completely Take it easy.
In the outskirts of the mountain forest, under an old tree, a round giant panda obediently lay beside a woman, and from time to time grabbed a leaf from the green bamboo pole she carried on her shoulders, and beat it for tooth sacrifice.
The woman's eyes were solemn and her expression was cold. Looking at the group of carriages parked at the foot of the mountain, her eyes fell on Xu Fengnian in front of her, and an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.
"It turned out to be you. Sure enough, it was you"
The woman sensed the dangerous aura coming from the carriage, so she didn’t choose to rush directly to the convoy. Thinking back to the mission route she had received, she dropped the bamboo pole and turned over to ride the panda, driving it towards Qingzhou.
The mountains are densely forested, and the path is difficult to walk. If you walk alone, you will feel a little lonely.
Zhou Ji and Jiang Ni were chatting nonchalantly, and suddenly frowned slightly, and stopped to look into the forest.
Seeing that he had already reached the outskirts of the forest, Zhou Ji's sudden action made Jiang Ni's heart tighten. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly found the grass and trees swaying in the distance, and there seemed to be a rustling sound coming from the side.
Jiang Ni took half a step back in fright, in a trance, a black and white giant shadow flashed past her eyes, before she could see clearly, the giant shadow had already run out of the forest and disappeared.
Jiang Ni turned her eyes to look at Zhou Ji, but saw Zhou Ji shook her head with a dumb smile, signaling her not to be nervous, and continued to walk down the mountain.
"The one who just ran over. Is it Hu Kui?" Jiang Ni looked at the direction where the giant shadow disappeared, and couldn't understand why Hu Kui, who was still giving birth in the back mountain just now, ran out of Qingcheng Mountain and headed east.
It seemed that he had noticed the movement of the tree trunk falling. Even though Xu Fengnian had inexplicable trust in Zhou Ji, he couldn't help but worry about Jiang Ni's safety.
Raising his eyes and looking around the mountains and forests, just when he couldn't help but want to lead people into the mountains to meet Zhou Ji, he finally saw two familiar figures appearing in his sight.
Xu Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Zhou Ji again. He learned from Jiang Ni that there was an iron-eating beast in the mountain. He just passed the two of them, and Xu Fengnian's heart tightened, and he asked for details.
Zhou Ji smiled and said: "Although I haven't seen it, I have seen the man riding on its back."
"Where?"
"Lingzhou City." Zhou Ji took out a handful of fresh melon seeds from his sleeve, and said with a smile, "These melon seeds were peeled from the sunflowers that man carried."
"You mean, she followed all the way from Lingzhou to Mount Qingcheng?" Xu Fengnian asked in surprise, "Then what is her purpose?"
"How do I know?" Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "I guess your father sent you to protect you secretly, or he knew you left Beiliang and wanted to kill you on the way. I guess, the second most likely."
Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "Why do you say that?"
Zhou Ji said with a gloomy expression, "Because your father only arranges for old men."
"Who said that?" Xu Fengnian couldn't laugh or cry, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but thinking of Lao Huang, Lao Kui, Li Chungang, and Wei Shuyang, it seems that old men are indeed a bit too much.
Suddenly, Zhou Ji noticed a cold gaze glanced at him inadvertently, with no killing intent or hostility, just such a light glance, as if reminding something.
Zhou Ji glanced behind Xu Fengnian, saw the blue bird in the imperial car, immediately understood, and said with a smile: "I am correcting what I just said, except for the blue bird girl, everyone else."
The corner of Xu Fengnian's mouth twitched, and he was immediately speechless.
"Your Majesty." Wei Shuyang coughed lightly, and stepped forward to make a relief, "The convoy has rested and is ready to leave at any time."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "Then let's go, bypass Qingcheng and take the water route, go down the river, and go straight to Qingzhou."
The convoy quickly assembled and set off. Zhou Ji returned to the carriage behind with a flowerpot and sat down. Jiang Ni also carried the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow into the carriage and whispered to comfort the young fish.
After several turns, the convoy stopped at the Yanzi River on the border of Yongzhou.
On the other side, Zhao Kai changed back into the Confucian uniform of the Shangyin Academy to visit Zhao Xun, the heir son of King Jing'an. The two had met half a year ago. This time, Zhao Xun wanted to use his line to meet King Jing'an Zhao Heng to offer advice.
Prince Jing'an's son has a reckless personality, great ambition and few talents, so he was easily persuaded by Zhao Kai and took him to see Zhao Heng.
Knowing that this student from Shangyin Academy wanted to assist him in assassinating Xu Fengnian, Zhao Heng looked indifferent, twirled the rosary in his hand, and was thrown out of him directly.
Zhao Kai was unwilling, so he secretly mobilized Prince Jing'an. Prince Jing'an wanted to kill Xu Fengnian and stir up chaos in the world. The two coincided with each other, so they decided to use the Qingzhou Navy to intercept and kill Xu Fengnian on the river.
Xu Fengnian, who was sitting on the bow of the boat listening to Jiang Ni's reading, naturally didn't know Zhao Kai's plan. After all this journey, Zhou Ji finally wrote the first book and handed it to Jiang Ni to read to Xu Fengnian.
Li Chungang was still chewing on his pen at the moment. Seeing that a copy had been handed over there, he felt a little dissatisfied, and wanted to know what Zhou Ji wrote.
Zhou Ji didn't deliberately avoid Li Chungang, and let Li Chungang listen to some of the mental moves integrated in the old book building. Given his current state, he has already understood by analogy. Facing a practice system that is different from this world, his vision, which was originally shackled by cognition, suddenly opened up. Cheerful, although the knot in his heart is still unresolved, and his realm still stays between the mysterious sky, but as long as he has a clear mind, he can return to the land **** immediately, and his strength will be improved to a higher level.
Li Chungang didn't want to owe favors to others, so he immediately competed with Zhou Ji, no longer entangled whether Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni could understand, and put his own unique knowledge on paper, as if he used Jiang Ni as a reading tool, wanting to surpass him in his understanding of the way of swordsmanship Zhou Ji bowed his head, which can be regarded as repaying the favor.
This is a pain for Jiang Ni and Xu Fengnian.
Jiang Ni gets dizzy from reading every day, Xu Fengnian half-understands, and there are two white female votes by his side to listen. It is really too small to charge seven guan for a book, it should be seven guan for each person.
On this day, Xu Fengnian sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, comprehending what he had heard and learned in the past few days.
Zhou Ji stood on the top of the boat on the second floor, facing the vastness of the mist and the wild wind, trying to draw the Dahe Sword Intent that he had seen before into a painting, and reappear in this world.
Jiang Ni had a rare free time, squatting on the stairs and counting the copper coins for studying and settlement in the past few days, counting over and over again, with a smile on her face every time.
When Li Chungang had nothing to do, he found a bamboo pole to fish, and without bait, he fished with a straight hook, and half a fish basket was caught in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Ni put the copper coins in the box, and curiously approached him, glanced at the fish basket and said, "Are you the sword **** or the fish god? This fishing is faster than fishing."
Li Chungang proudly said: "I am using a hook as a sword. This is not fishing, but stabbing."
"Are you really good at martial arts?" Jiang Ni asked curiously.
"Is it okay?" Li Chungang said reservedly, but he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.
"How tall is it?" Jiang Ni couldn't help asking curiously, "Compared to Mr. Zhou?"
The reserve on Li Chungang's face suddenly froze, his gaze went up, he looked at Zhou Ji who was standing on the top of the boat, and looked away, "What do you think?"
"I don't quite understand what the two of you wrote, but every time I finish reading, Mr. Zhou will always be the first to forget, and your writing will have a deeper impression."
Jiang Ni tilted her head, thinking: "You should be stronger, right?"
(Watched the recent new drama "Twinkle, Twinkle, Shine Star", barely passed the drama, was dubbed to pull the crotch, too much self-harmony, often can't match the lip shape, such as "puppy love", "rival in love" and so on It’s like watching "Dear Beloved", knowing that it is about CS.GO, but changing it to a network security competition in the later stage of the review.)
(However, dramas with the theme of going back in time like this are relatively rare. The heroine is quite pleasing. The first episode of Love Brain fully performs what is called "dog licking". After you don't lick it, you can be yourself and save the real hero. .)
(I only saw the fifth episode, the quality is not as good as "The Beginning", you can watch it if you are short of drama.)
