How to ask for a wife
Two swords clashed, a man and a woman faced each other.
Xu Ning jumped lightly to the ground, her wrist relaxed, and she suddenly raised her sword with a short and powerful stroke. The tip of the sword struck the ground like an eagle's beak, hitting the ground and rising. The woman then raised her leg again and kicked the man in the waist.
The enemy dodged to the side, retreated half a mile, and ran with his sword raised. Xu Ning bent down to avoid it.
This person looks somewhat familiar.
Isn't this the "servant" among the master and servant who were chased by Tang Xixu in Yangye Mansion that night?
I had a few exchanges with him that day, and he was very fierce. He was not a good person.
"Stop, you can't beat me." The man's brows were sharp, and the sword in his hand was not inferior to Xu Ning at all.
While Xu Ning dodged the sword sideways, he pointed the sword directly at the man's throat, with the tip of the sword only a finger's thickness away from the flesh.
The man clenched the long sword in both hands. Xu Ning used all his strength to push the sword forward, his face flushed red.
"Really? But why do I feel like you're not far from death?" Xu Ning used his flat palm to strike the man's vital point with his backhand.
The man retreated ten miles. A sudden wind blew and the pain felt like a needle piercing his heart. A mouthful of hot blood rushed to his throat and "Puff!" A "blood flower" bloomed on the mud.
When the two separated, the man slapped Xu Ning's chest hard.
Xu Ning steadied herself gently and spat out a small mouthful of blood. The man did not give Xu Ning any chance to breathe and attacked her with the sword.
The man attacked ruthlessly and went straight for the vital point.
"Stop struggling. The reason you were able to knock me down just now was because I only used 50% of my internal energy." The man wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and mocked the woman in front of him who was shaky in her steps.
Xu Ning supported herself on the tree trunk and slowly stood up, her breath weak. "Is that so? But, I only used 30% of it."
The girl closed her eyes, held her breath, and concentrated. She gripped the hilt of the sword backwards, held the sword with her hand, and pushed against the tree trunk with her foot. She took a straight step in the air, her body moving flexibly and her wrist turning very quickly.
The cold light in Xu Ning's eyes flashed across the blade of the Xilin Sword, stern and cold.
She was clearly just a girl in her sixteenth year, but she was full of murderous intent and wanted to kill everyone.
The long sword pierced deeply and heavily into the man's right chest. Wen Ran widened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood after a few seconds.
Hot blood spilled onto the ground, and once again a scarlet flower blossomed. After fifteen years, Xilin Sword tasted blood again.
Wen Ran held the sword to support himself on the ground, barely maintaining his final dignity.
"Hmph, I, I'll tell you." Xu Ning's hand holding the sword was shaking a little, and the sword body was shaking. Moreover, Xu Ning had just used up all his internal strength to kill Wen Ran.
The poison had not been completely cleared yet, and he was so angry that he had to forcefully use his internal energy to suppress it.
Suddenly, the world spun around, his brain went haywire, and Xu Ning fell to the ground the next second.
"Didn't I reach the first level of the Small Extreme Peak a few days ago? How could I be defeated so easily?"
Although his body was not in good condition, Xu Ning could still communicate with the system.
[That's true, but since you haven't completed the extra task I assigned you recently: promoting the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the original book, I'm taking back some of your strength as punishment.]
Xu Ning then remembered that he had a small task in a corner...
"Don't you know to remind me?"
[Sorry, dear, this system does not have this service.] The system is so cheap.
Xu Ning had no choice but to fall asleep with his consciousness and wait for his body to wake up naturally.
Just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard a sad cry and a... violent shaking.
"Ningzi, wake up." Qu Yi, Zhao Mingshang and Xu Lian woke up in the inn and asked for directions along the way before finally tracking them here.
Xu Ning hadn't woken up yet. "Why isn't she awake yet? How about I take a picture of her face?"
Xu Ning was woken up by Qu Yi. Just as her hand was about to fall, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Take your hand away. If you keep shaking, you'll shake out all the food I had last night."
Qu Yi withdrew his hand angrily, closed his mouth, and slowly helped Xu Ning up.
Tang Xixu saw this scene as he fell back. The young man's eyes darkened and his face darkened, as if a storm was about to come. The young man grabbed Xu Ning's wrist from Qu Yi's hand and walked forward.
When my fingertips touched the pulse, I could strongly feel the girl's faint breath.
"Why are you so badly injured?" Tang Xixu's eyes were filled with shock, heartache, worry, and discomfort hidden in the deepest part of his eyes.
Xu Ning, still holding the sword, said nonchalantly, "Tsk, isn't this normal? You'll always get hurt in a fight."
The voice was weak and seemed to be forced to speak.
Without waiting for Xu Ning to finish, he carried the man on his back and slung the Xilin sword across his waist.
The two walked in front, and the three behind them looked calm. Only Zhao Mingchang smiled helplessly: "Young Master Qu, you must be more careful in the future."
Qu Yi touched the back of his head and said, "It's not that serious. I just helped her up."
Xu Lian couldn't bear to watch it anymore and shook his head: "How can you find a wife if you are like this?"
Qu Yi pondered this sentence for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. However, he didn't want to suffer a loss of face. "Brother Xu is not anxious, so why should I be anxious?"
…
After Cui Huaping handed the evidence to Tang Xixu, she took poison and said, "I can finally, finally be free. Madam, I have lived up to your expectations. I have come to see you."
Mrs. Pan had been frozen to death on the road to exile. Pan Ruyi only found out about it now and fainted from anger on the spot.
This is a letter, a letter in which officials colluded with the State of Jin.
An important official in the court made a deal with the State of Jin and leaked the battle formation diagram of the Mo family army. In addition, half of Mo Wenqing's elite soldiers were replaced. Later, when the two armies fought to the Scorpion River, the State of Jin suddenly doubled its troops, and all of them were elite soldiers.
Tang Xixu tightly grasped the letter, his rage soaring to the sky. A feeling of suffocation surged into his nose. He was helpless in catching the murderer and at a loss as to how to investigate.
Xu Ning read the letter and rubbed the yellowed paper. "Do you know where this kind of paper comes from?"
"I've checked. It's just the common Songjiangtan paper." Xu Ning wanted to ask something else, but Tang Xixu guessed what the woman was thinking at a glance, "Officials in the court don't use this kind of letter paper."
Xu Lian walked slowly to Tang Xixu's side, picked up the fruit beside him, and took a bite. "There are none among the court officials, so what about the palace?"
"Now that Master Xu mentioned that, I actually remembered someone." A woman with a stunning appearance emerged in Zhao Mingchang's memory. "Noble Concubine, Shen Xiuyu."
"Chen Xiuyu was originally from Songjiang, the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, and the daughter of the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture. During His Majesty's southern tour, he was captivated by Shen Xiuyu's beauty and immediately appointed her as Consort Jin." Zhao Mingchang took a sip of water and continued, "Since Shen Xiuyu was favored, her father, Shen Weixu, jumped two ranks and became the commander-in-chief of a province."
When one person is favored, the whole family rises to prominence. No wonder so many officials send their daughters to the palace. Xu Ning finally understood it.
"This is strange. She is a concubine in the harem and she doesn't know General Mo. How could she frame him?" Qu Yi hugged his chest and expressed everyone's doubts.
"Why is her title 'Jin'? Is there any deep meaning behind it?" Xu Ning did not miss any details that could be easily overlooked.
Zhao Mingchang said slowly, "Sister Ning's question is exactly what I'm going to talk about next. I heard that when His Majesty first saw Shen Xiuyu, he thought she was like a osmanthus flower, layered and magnificent, waiting for someone to peel back the petals and explore her mysteries. The osmanthus flower is also called the brocade shed flower, and His Majesty thought the word 'brocade' was the most beautiful, representing splendor and preciousness, just like Shen Xiuyu, a rare beauty."
She didn't think it was a good title, but she couldn't explain why. She felt strange after hearing this explanation, uncomfortable and unpleasant.
The place where the few of them were was in the wilderness, and Qujiazhuang was about one or two days' journey away.
"Don't think too much. Even if you want to go to Beijing, you have to pass by my Qujiazhuang. My elder sister is at home too. A few days ago, my father wrote to me saying that my sister is getting married." Qu Yi didn't want the atmosphere to be so tense, so he told me a happy event.
Xu Ning was so shocked that she spat out the fruit in her mouth. "What?! Sister Qu is getting married? Tell me which man has captured the heart of my sister Qu Xiang."
The original book did not mention whether Qu Xiang got married, it only said that "the medical saint Qu Xiang's temperament changed drastically overnight, and he became cold and aloof, and people were intimidated by him."
But Xu Ning was still happy for her, after all, it was a big happy event in her life.
"I won't tell you this. You'll know when you get there. You'll never guess it." Qu Yi smiled maliciously.
Xu Ning was too lazy to ask any more questions: "Speak if you want."
The night is a little chilly, my heart is cold and frosty, but the love is unforgettable.
Tonight was a little warmer than the day, and the forest was drier. We made several fires, so it wasn't too cold. We were back to the days of sleeping outdoors in the past few months.
"Put your hands here, they'll be warmer." Tang Xixu lifted up his outer robe a little and placed Xu Ning's hands on his abdomen through his inner garment.
Xu Ning wanted to take her hand away, but Tang Xixu pushed her hand back and looked at her with a smile on his face.
His hands were indeed warm, and Xu Ning no longer refused.
It is quite warm, it would be a waste not to use it.
Guang Yu frowned. "Really? You don't have any other thoughts?"
Xu Ning ignored him.
It was late at night and the forest was completely silent.
On the night of the fight in Yangye Mansion, Yin Wumeng came.
Xu Lian originally thought that she had something to do with Yang Ye's group. Perhaps it was because of the prejudice in his heart, or perhaps it was for some other reason. In short, he followed her without anyone noticing, as if he had been bewitched.
Xu Lian was circulating his internal energy when suddenly a gust of wind blew past his ear, and then the other side also felt cold.
The wind was mixed with the scent of cosmetics, but it was not pungent at all, and was even pleasant.
The meditating man frowned and suddenly opened his eyes.
Just opposite a pair of fox-like phoenix eyes, the tip of Yin Wumeng's nose was about to touch the tip of Xu Lian's nose.
Soft and delicate.
The man whose heart was as pure as pure water just now, at this moment, a piece of gravel fell into the lake, causing ripples.
Yin Wumeng looked at Xu Lian meaningfully, like a hunter setting his sights on his prey, determined to get it, or rather, he was already in her pocket.
Xu Lian attacked Yin Wumeng immediately without waiting for her to react.
Yin Wumeng's figure was as fast as a ghost, and he flashed behind Xu Lian in an instant.
The woman smiled charmingly, pinched Xu Lian's arm lightly with her slender fingers, and blew a breath on the back of the man's neck.
Xu Lian paused, motionless.
The man reacted quickly and tried to hit Yin Wumeng with his backhand, but Yin Wumeng jumped back onto the tree.
The leaves fell, and the other three people who were sleeping woke up.
Tang Xixu was sleeping soundly while cleaning up the remaining poison and did not participate in these things.
"Where are you from, young lady? We are all passers-by. Why do you want to hurt others?" Zhao Mingshang said righteously. When he woke up, he saw Yin Wumeng hitting Xu Lian with a palm. Xu Lian happened to be a little weak today and could not dodge the move.
Yin Wumeng twirled her golden hair, her eyes tilted upwards: "How do you know that I hurt him, and not him hurt me?"
Xu Lian seemed furious, but also seemed afraid of something. "So what if I hurt you? The 'path' you chose is wrong, and the path you're taking is naturally wrong. What's wrong with me eliminating those with evil intentions?"
Yin Wumeng was not frightened by his words, or perhaps she didn't care at all: "Oh~ I thought it was because you were afraid of me."
