Chapter 43: Testing
Tuoba Xun did not underestimate this girl, but the more he fought, the more he realized that he still underestimated her.
Every attack of Jing Xuan was aimed at the fatal spot. Tuoba Xun was able to handle it with ease at the beginning, but now he had to show some strength.
There is no time to waste. If we continue, Chu Wenxi will come and beat us up, he thought.
So he didn't try to dodge and was punched in the abdomen by Jing Yu.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!" Tuoba Xun cried out in pain, winking as if he was trying to scam someone: "You little girl, you are so cruel!"
Jing Yu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the punch would hit the target.
Seeing the man looking like he deserves a beating, how could he not understand?
Although somewhat dissatisfied, Jing Xuan glanced around and frowned, knowing that she could not continue fighting.
They made such a fuss for so long that the people from the surrounding area gathered around.
As to whether there are people with ulterior motives among them, it is still debatable.
The fact that Tuoba Xun came to Yunan Pass should not be known to outsiders. Although he was wearing a mask, there was no guarantee that no one would recognize him.
Jing Xuan was thinking about this. She glanced at him, straightened her dress, and said stubbornly, "If you weren't wearing something uncomfortable today, I would beat you to a pulp."
Tuoba Xun couldn't help laughing out loud, and the next moment a murderous look came towards him.
He stopped laughing, clasped his fists towards Jingxuan, and looked serious.
Jing Xuan paused, looked at him warily, and wondered, what does this guy want to do now?
Tuoba Xun asked seriously, "Aunt, can you tell me your name?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter all around, and Li Qing and others also laughed out loud.
Jing Yu's mouth twitched: "Chu Yu."
Tuoba Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "General Chu's cousin?"
The tone clearly showed disbelief.
Jing Yu knew about it, but didn't take it to heart. Chu Mo would handle his suspicions and disbelief himself.
She knew very well that although Tuoba Xun appeared to be unruly and unrestrained, he was actually a very meticulous person.
He had been testing her from the moment he met her—testing what?
Whether he was fighting with her for the cake or teasing Li Qing, he was deliberately trying to make her angry and make her fight with him.
Only in this way could he tell which school of martial arts she belonged to.
Jing Xuan had anticipated his intention, so she went along with it. However, what she used were not regular martial arts, but rather rather ruthless moves from the underworld.
That's why Tuoba Xun was so surprised at first.
Will Princess Dasui learn this kind of moves?
He was a little skeptical.
Could it be that she was not a princess and he was just worrying too much?
Tuoba Xun watched Jing Xuan and the others walk away, then he unfolded his paper fan and glanced sideways at the people who were watching him in the dark.
The corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.
Good, one less person.
As expected, he went to report to Chu Wenxi.
Tuoba Xun was silent, and thought about the two options of continuing shopping and going to the mansion to wait for someone.
Hmm... Chu Wenxi shouldn't chase him and beat him up on the street, right?
No way!
His face darkened, and all the not-so-pleasant memories came flooding back to him. Then, without any hesitation, he walked towards the general's mansion.
He is smart and analyzes rationally——
Being beaten behind closed doors is better than being chased and beaten on the streets.
Master Xun, worthy of being called the uncrowned king of the grassland, had really anticipated everything.
At this moment, a figure was rushing towards the city at full speed.
The man was dressed in black, with a stern face and cold and murderous eyes.
——Tuoba Xun, do you dare to hit the little princess? ! !
Not long ago, a man came into Chu Mo's tent and knelt down to greet him: "Master, Master Tuoba is here."
Chu Mo said calmly: "I understand."
The subordinate paused, then said, "He and the young lady had a fight."
Chu Mo raised his eyes suddenly: "With whom?"
"Miss, Miss Chu Yu."
Chu Mo stood up and frowned: "Is she injured?"
"When I came here, Master Tuoba was injured..."
Before he could finish his words, the figure in front of him disappeared, as if a gust of wind had blown past at an extremely fast speed.
The men looked at him in surprise, and saw the man use his light Kung Fu to jump onto a horse and gallop away.
Chu Mo's face was cold, he looked straight towards the city, his mind full of - Tuoba Xun, you are dead! !
Jing Xuan, who had just had a good fight, was unaware of these things. She was happily eating steamed cakes with a happy look on her face. She mumbled, "Eat it..."
Li Qing couldn't help but gently scratch her small nose and said with a smile: "Greedy."
Without the tail, Jing Xuan shook her head, her heart leaping with joy: "Although I didn't get to eat the sugar cake, the steamed cake is not bad either."
Xiao Fu was also eating with her cheeks bulging. After hearing this, she felt like she had met a bosom friend: "Miss Chu, there are even better dishes than this!"
Jing Xuan held the soft and glutinous steamed cake in her hands, her eyes slightly rounded: "More?!"
"Yeah!" Xiao Fu nodded vigorously and waved her hand, with a sense of commanding power: "There is no delicacy in Yu Nan Pass that I, Xiao Fu, have not eaten."
"Wow~"
Xiao Fu: "There is a wonton shop on North Street. Not only is it cheap, but the skin is thin and the fillings are rich. It's really delicious!"
“There’s also a noodle stall on North Street. The lady boss is very nice and the noodles are delicious!”
"South Street..."
One person said, and the other's eyes lit up, staring in that direction expectantly.
This picture is particularly funny.
Li Qing joked: "In ancient times, people met soulmates when they were in the mountains and rivers. You are sharing the delicious food."
Jing Xuan smiled: "Sister, you don't know that my hometown also has many delicious foods, but I've gotten tired of them over the years, especially the meals at home, which are praised as the best in the world, but in the end, they are just so-so."
Xiao Fu clicked her tongue, raised a finger and shook it, saying calmly: "No, no, not my hometown, and not the cook at home."
Jing Yu was silent, staring at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Fu was surprised.
Jing Yu: “Nothing.”
It’s just that... my hometown is the capital of Dasui, and my chef is Chu.
Li Qing was worried that Xiaofu would speak without restraint and make Jingyu unhappy, so he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaofu."
Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment before she realized, "I'm sorry, Miss Chu, I'm not..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Jing Yu waved her hand: "I think you are right."
Seeing that she didn't look fake, Xiao Fu breathed a sigh of relief and continued talking about food.
Li Qing: "I think we can't eat today, let's go again tomorrow."
I just ate something and it’s time to go back home, so I can’t go to North Street or South Street again.
"Okay." Jing Yu responded, then looked at Chu Xue, whose face was gloomy, and asked worriedly, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Xue pursed her lips: "Miss, does it still hurt?"
Jing Yu was stunned.
“Your shoulder.”
Chu Xue knew that Tuoba Xun's palm strike was just a lot of noise but little impact, and the attack power was not strong, so the young lady did not show any sign of pain.
But she was still very worried and blamed herself, thinking that she had failed in her duty.
Jing Xuan raised the corner of her mouth and took Chu Xue's hand.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xue's hands were very hot, which was very different from her personality, and they were quite slender and not like those of a secret guard holding a hidden weapon and lingering between life and death.
Jing Xuan lowered her eyes and looked at her. When she felt the touch of her thick calluses, her fingertips paused slightly.
Chu Xue was not used to this and subconsciously wanted to withdraw.
"Sister, your hands are so beautiful and warm." Jing Xuan smiled, "Sister, you look cold on the outside, but I know you are a very gentle person."
"Don't worry, sister. I'm not hurt at all. You don't have to blame yourself. It was me who insisted on taking action. Sister did nothing wrong."
"If my cousin wants to punish you, I will stop him."
Chu Xue: "I am not..."
"Sister, can you please not call yourself a subordinate in front of me?"
"Sister, you should say 'I'." Jing Yu looked at her seriously.
Chu Xue was stunned.
"I want to be close to my sisters, just like Sister Li and Xiaofu." Jing Yu glanced at Li Qing and the others.
"But..." She was a lowly secret guard.
"Sister is mine now, and my words have final say."
Chu Xue was stunned when she met those clear and watery amber eyes, and Jing Yu waited quietly.
"Okay..." Chu Xue said hoarsely, "I will try to change it."
Jing Yu knew it was impossible to make her change instantly, so she didn't ask for it.
Jingxuan is a princess, so she naturally has many servants serving her.
Whether it was palace maids or eunuchs, she did not like them to belittle themselves excessively, and she did not like them to use their status to humiliate them.
A few years ago, the third princess beat a palace maid to death. When the news of this reached Jing Xuan, she was with Jing Ce.
Jing Ce put down the book in his hand and took a sip of tea: "Do you think your sister did the right thing?"
"No." Xiao Jingxuan frowned.
"Why is it wrong?" Jing Ce asked, "The princess is of an extremely noble status. If she wants to kill a palace maid, she kills her. What's wrong with that?"
Little Jingxuan clenched her fists and said seriously, "It is said in the book that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and killing people is against the law, so my sister is guilty."
"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people?" Jing Ce smiled, as if he was being sarcastic. "Then why was your sister only confined for a few months instead of being punished?"
Little Jingxuan: "Father's judgment is wrong, he is wrong!"
Jing Ce laughed and shook his head helplessly: "Father's punishment was indeed too light, but it's not all his fault."
"Who is wrong then?"
"This world." Jing Ce lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Jingyu tilted her head in confusion.
"This world is unfair. Those in high positions are honored, while those in low positions are lowly. The honored can beat or kill someone at will, and the person can only endure it. Once he fights back, he will be overwhelmed by countless charges. Xiuxiu, you say...is this fair?"
Little Jingxuan thought: "But, Xuanxuan is also a person of high status and a respected person, but I will not do such a thing."
"Our sister is very well behaved." Jing Ce smiled and said, "She is the emperor's most beloved sister."
Little Jingxuan smiled with her eyes curved.
"Xuan, Mozi advocated universal love and non-aggression, and advocated equality for all. This is an ideal. We don't know whether it can be achieved or how to achieve it. Perhaps after a long, long time, there will really be a society where everyone is equal, or perhaps... there will never be one." Jing Ce touched Jing Xuan's head and said softly, "Your birth is noble and extraordinary, but my brother hopes that you will not be like your sister. You must fear life, respect life, and remember that how you treat others is how others will treat you."
"My brother hopes that you can have good intentions and be able to distinguish between bad intentions. When others think of you, they will not feel fear but respect and love."
"My brother's daughter deserves to be treated like this."
Little Jingxuan opened her eyes wide and nodded vigorously: "Xuxuan remembers it. I remember everything my brother said."
She didn't lie to him, she took to heart all the principles Jing Ce taught her.
The same is true for this matter.
Because of this, she prefers respect and sincerity to humiliation.
What sincerity brings is another sincerity.
…
It’s warm over there, but here on Tuoba Xun’s side…it’s hard to describe.
After entering the mansion, someone led him to the Chu Mo courtyard.
He was sitting lazily on a stone bench in a red robe, playing with the stone table, then looking up at the tree, feeling bored.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. He was not afraid of the cold and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
Suddenly, Tuoba Xun's eyes changed, and he opened a paper fan with a swish sound, changing the trajectory of the incoming stones at an extremely strange angle.
"Bang!" The sound of the stone falling to the ground was quite loud, enough to imagine how painful it would be if it hit a person.
Tuoba Xun stared at the stone and swallowed silently.
Then, like a Sichuan opera face-changing, he turned around and smiled at the person: "Oh my, isn't this my good friend Chu Wenxi?"
Chu Mo had a cold face and stared at him with his narrow eyes.
Tuoba Xun was a man of character. He continued calmly, "Oh my, it's been a long time since we last met. I missed you so much."
Chu Mo slowly clenched his fist at his side, and the crackling sound of bones made Tuoba Xun's scalp numb.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha… I miss you so much, you don’t want to hit me, right?” someone struggled desperately.
Chu Mo said nothing and strode forward.
His eyes were dark, making people... oh no, making someone shudder.
"Chu Mo! Chu Mo!! Don't be so shameless, boy!!"
"I, I want to complain to Jing Junze!!!"
"You you you!! Don't go too far, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
“Ah! It hurts!! Ahhhhh!!!”
"Are you serious?! Hisss... Don't hit me in the face!!!"
"Fuck you, I'm going to fight you to the death!!"
“Ahhhh! It hurts!!”
The whole yard was filled with all kinds of strange and unhealthy noises. The secret guards hidden in the darkness were happily cracking melon seeds, watching Master Tuoba jumping up and down, dodging here and there, and being chased and beaten until his face was bruised and swollen, as if they were commenting on an actor.
After an incense stick of time, Chu Mo sat upright on a stone bench, glancing coldly at someone who looked like a young wife beside him.
Someone was pitiful but quite stubborn: "I reasonably suspect that you have bad intentions, tell me the truth! Why do you always slap me in the face??"
Chu Mo: "You owe it."
"…You're just jealous of me!"
"Yeah." Chu Mo was indifferent.
"Tsk, I just had a conflict with Yunan Pass, and I got beaten twice right after I arrived!" Tuoba Xun angrily said, "Twice!!"
Chu Mo glanced at him.
Tuoba Xun suddenly smiled, his smile was charming, although his pig-like face did not show any elegance, "I just met a girl in a blue skirt, she is beautiful and her personality is also very suitable for me. Tsk, I am a little interested."
Suddenly, a foot kicked him in the crotch! Less than a finger's width away from something!
The force was so strong that the stone bench beneath his hips shook.
Tuoba Xun: “!!!”
He stared at him dully and swallowed slowly.
Chu Mo smiled gently, with a sense of being a gentleman. "Misfortune comes from the mouth, and it will destroy your descendants."
“…”
Chu Mo chuckled: "You can continue."
“………”
Yunanguan is not good at all! ! !
"Tuoba Xun, I advise you not to try any more, otherwise... you won't be able to bear the consequences."
