Chapter 569: Playing Tricks
Qin Peiyou looked around and asked, "Where's Xing'an? Why isn't he here?"
"I didn't see him when I came out of Duke Dingguo's place just now. Maybe he had some things of his own to do."
Seeing that He Yanxiu didn't care, Qin Peiyou didn't say anything more.
The guard returned quickly and placed a teapot filled with water on the table.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the room so brightly that one could see the guard's slender fingers.
Qin Peiyou frowned, "Wait a minute."
"What do you want, Your Highness?" The other party bowed his head and spoke in a low voice.
"Aren't you the guard who went to pour water just now?" Qin Peiyou asked, and put his hands on his waist, ready for battle.
The guard said nothing and turned and left.
Sure enough, there was a problem! Qin Peiyou stood up and reached out to pull the other person.
But the guard was very agile and easily dodged Qin Peiyou's attack. He even raised his hand and hit Qin Peiyou on the shoulder, causing Qin Peiyou to take a few steps back.
Good Kung Fu! Qin Peiyou had never seen a guard at the door with such outstanding Kung Fu before. He felt that the guard was more and more suspicious, and he became more interested and chased after him.
The guard didn't seem to have any intention of escaping completely. When he reached the yard, he stayed there for a long time, and when Qin Peiyou attacked again, he blocked it with his fist.
The two of them started fighting in the yard.
The noise was so loud that everyone opened the door and came out to see what was going on.
Seeing this, Tuoba Yu suddenly became very nervous, "Who is this?"
"Probably..." He Yanxiu narrowed his eyes, with a playful smile on his lips, "It's an assassin."
"Assassin?" Lou Yanlin's eyes widened. "If it really is an assassin, wouldn't His Royal Highness be in danger? Why is there no one to help capture the assassin?"
"No need." He Yanxiu raised his hand and added, "It's okay."
No problem? Tuoba Yu and Lou Yanlin looked at each other, both of them puzzled.
In the current situation, it is obvious that Qin Peiyou is at a disadvantage, and both of them are holding long swords. If this continues, the assassin will definitely hurt Qin Peiyou's life.
Would they allow the assassin to threaten the crown prince of a country like this? Wouldn't He Yanxiu be too bold...
Tuoba Yu and Lou Yanlin could only turn their attention to Duke Dingguo and others.
But at this time, Duke Dingguo, Lu Yuncheng, Lu Yuntao, and even Lu Yunyue who had just recovered from a serious injury all looked calm, and were even whispering about the current moves of Qin Peiyou and the assassin.
What the hell is this…
What's going on? Just as Tuoba Yu and Lou Yanlin were stunned, the sword in the hand of the "assassin" was already pointed at Qin Peiyou's throat.
Qin Peiyou immediately stopped what he was doing, looking annoyed, "I thought I had made some progress after studying and practicing hard here, but in the end, I am still no match for you."
"Of course."
The Assassin took off his tightly-fitting helmet, revealing his bright and beautiful face. The corners of his mouth were full of smiles. "Let alone you, even if you count all the people in this yard, except for those few, no one else can be my opponent!"
Seeing Lu Wenjing's proud words, Qin Peiyou became even more angry and curled his lips, "Don't be so proud. When I learn from the Duke for a while longer, I will definitely be able to surpass you!"
"Then I'll have to wait and see." Lu Wenjing tilted her head and made a face at Qin Peiyou.
The child's playful appearance made people around him laugh.
Lu Yuncheng frowned, "I've always told you to be steady, but I didn't expect you to be so naughty again!"
"Jing'er has done a lot of things and made great progress in the few months since she followed Princess Ping'an." Lu Yuntao spoke for Lu Wenjing.
Lu Yunyue even agreed, "That is to say, we can't call it fooling around right now. Military affairs are tedious and boring, and everyone is under great pressure with the war approaching. Jing'er making a fuss like this actually makes people happy. I am very optimistic about it."
"Father, isn't that right?" Lu Yunyue put the pressure on Duke Dingguo.
"Of course." Duke Dingguo nodded with a smile.
joke!
He only has this one precious granddaughter, so naturally everything about her is good!
Lu Yuncheng also knew the behavior of his father and two younger brothers. He did not say much at this time, but only snorted coldly, "When did you come back? Did Princess Ping'an come back with you?"
"I just came here to eat, and I saw that Grandfather and you were discussing important matters in the house, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I also felt it was boring, so I came up with this idea."
"As for Princess Ping'an..." Lu Wenjing paused and said with a grin, "Sister Jin said that there are still some things to clean up in Shimen County regarding the epidemic, so it will take me two days to come back. She asked me to come back and tell you guys first."
When Lu Wenjing said this, she looked at He Yanxiu and laughed.
When He Yanxiu heard these words, he pursed his lips.
We have to wait two more days.
Two days equals twenty-four hours, and each hour takes that long...
Very long!
However, compared with the three months they have been separated, these two days are really nothing.
The most important thing is not to let her feel that he is impatient, so as to avoid her misunderstanding that he does not support what she does.
He Yanxiu tried to keep smiling, nodded and said, "I understand."
"Since my cousin knows, that's good." Lu Wenjing put away the sword in her hand, with the smile on her face unchanged.
It was getting late and there were important things to do tomorrow, so Duke Dingguo ordered them to rest early.
Everyone agreed and went back to their rooms.
He Yanxiu was the first to return, walking in a hurry.
Seeing his somewhat lonely back, Qin Peiyou felt a little uncomfortable and reached out to grab Lu Wenjing who was about to go back to the house.
"What's the matter?" Lu Wenjing stopped.
"Hey, why didn't Princess Ping'an come back with you?" Qin Peiyou said, thought for a moment, and then said, "No, let me ask you another question. Why didn't you come back with Princess Ping'an?"
"Didn't I just tell you that Sister Jin said she had something else to do and would be late for two days?" Lu Wenjing replied with a blink of her eyes.
Qin Peiyou pouted and pointed at his head, "What is this?"
"Your Highness's head?"
"Yes, this is a head, not a brick on the wall, so it contains a brain." Qin Peiyou said unhappily, "Everyone knows that you value Princess Ping'an more than your cousin. How could you leave Princess Ping'an alone in Shimen County and come back alone?"
"Tell me, what are you doing behind my back?" Qin Peiyou felt that it was not enough, so he added, "I advise you to tell the truth and not play any tricks."
Playing tricks? Lu Wenjing narrowed her eyes, "Your Highness, everyone says that my grandfather is still strong and powerful in his old age, and he is still as powerful as ever on the battlefield. Do you know what the secret is?"
