Chapter 66 Do you know why Liu Jiao can't embroider...?
On the other side, the border fortress.
As the night deepened and the dew grew heavy, Li Du lifted the curtain of his tent, intending to go to sleep.
But behind the half-drawn bed curtains, a woman with long, flowing hair and a hunched posture could be seen.
In the hazy silhouette, her clothes were half-undone, revealing a round, beautiful nose.
Even without a close look, one can tell she's a beauty.
Li Du's brows furrowed.
Who's so bold?
He grabbed the tall, slender crossbow that was as tall as a person, took a few steps forward, and nocked an arrow.
He walked with a swagger, exuding anger and aggression.
He walked around the breathable linen bed curtains and saw the true face of this ignorant and arrogant woman.
The arrowhead was aimed directly at the woman's vital point. He narrowed one eye, a cold glint in it, and just as his hand was about to tighten the drawstring—
He paused.
Suddenly, his grip loosened, and the crossbow instinctively aimed at the grayish-brown ground.
The woman in front of him was kneeling, her skin was fair and her hair was black, and her shoulders were partially exposed, all on top of her brown fox fur coat.
At this moment, her hands were tightly guarding her chest, and her watery eyes were wide open like a hare being targeted by a hunter.
They were clearly frightened.
It's Liu Jiao.
She was changing clothes when he caught her.
Li Du's neck hung down stiffly, and his throat involuntarily bobbed twice.
Okay, it looks good...
No……
He is the older brother.
After a long silence, he forced a calm expression and said, "Continue changing."
Liu Jiao panicked, quickly turned her head away, and remained silent.
Afterwards, Li Du put away his crossbow and strode away.
However, those who practice martial arts often lack a stable footing.
The tent flap was closed.
He let out a sigh of relief and slumped against an empty tent to the side.
This is the place for deliberation.
It's night now, and there's no one around.
His breathing became increasingly heavy.
He tried his best to close his eyes and suppress the evil aura.
Whether her eyes are open or closed, she looks perfectly developed.
For the first time, he realized that his sister was a woman.
He had feelings for her even when they first met.
My heart skipped a beat for a moment.
For a long, long time.
He exhaled a breath of stale air.
Li Du got up, and his mind cleared.
How did Liu Jiao end up in his tent?
She was still changing clothes in his tent?
He was so angry that he went directly to his subordinates to ask them.
The subordinate looked completely innocent: "You ordered that Miss Liu Jiao be given the biggest and best tent."
"Isn't your tent the biggest and best one?"
Li Du: "..."
Li Du was speechless, so he flicked him on the head and cursed him for being filthy.
He had no choice but to pack his bedding and go live in the tent that had originally been prepared for Liu Jiao.

The next day, Li Du had some free time and practiced archery.
Liu Jiao witnessed this and was utterly astonished by the technique. Recalling that her younger brother was also skilled in it, she couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Jiao sincerely praised, "You're really amazing."
Li Du simply said, "Are you still lingering in the military camp and not planning to leave?"
Liu Jiao fell silent.
What a joke!
How can she escape if she has no ability to protect herself?
Staying close to acquaintances is still the safest option...
Li Du pointed to the crossbow: "Want to learn?"
Liu Jiao wanted to learn, but her hands...
Liu Jiao spoke the truth:
"My hands are injured, so I can't do embroidery anymore."
"You hurt your hand? How come I didn't know—"
"It's all better now," Liu Jiao said, her eyes filled with confusion.
Li Du paused, coughed twice to cover up his excessive concern: "It's injured, but as long as it's usable, it won't interfere with my studies."
He comforted her, saying, "Although she can't do fine embroidery, she still has strength in her hands, and she has sharp eyes, great strength, and can endure hardship, so she's quite suitable for archery."
Li Du: "Want to learn?"
Liu Jiao nodded firmly: "I'll learn!"
Li Du: "Once you've learned how to protect yourself, leave quickly. This isn't a place for you."

Huajing, Peach Blossom Mansion.
Sang Ji sensed something was wrong and went to find Wangyou Jun.
When they arrived at the residence of Lord Wangyou, he was surrounded by a group of girls, all covered in perfume.
When someone saw Sang Ji arrive, they tried to provoke him, but Sang Ji drew his sword and coldly told them to get lost.
Forget-Worry Lord frowned and waved for the girl to leave:
"Master Sang, why are you here instead of staying with the princess?"
Sang Ji's gaze deepened, and he asked only one question:
Do you know why Liu Jiao can't do embroidery?
