Wei Ting and Xiu Nu were fighting. At first he could still hear the noise of their fight, but later the two fought further and further away and he could hear nothing.

But Wei Ting’s delay in returning is still a bit worrying.

Yuchi Xiu glanced at the big black blind cat that secretly kicked the poison bag from time to time, and felt that with it in place, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"I'll go with you." Su Xiaoxiao said.

"You stay!" Yuchi Xiu refused without thinking.

Su Xiaoxiao raised the broken crossbow looted from the pharmacist of the Western Jin Dynasty and said, "Never underestimate the power of a pharmacist."

Yuchi Xiu: “…”

When the two followed the traces of the fight all the way to the bottom of the hill, the battle had already ended.

Wei Ting sat on an open space, with a lazy posture and a calm expression.

There was no sign that his foot was stuck.

Next to him, there lay an unconscious man in a gray robe, with a bamboo hat covering his face.

"grown ups!"

Yuchi Xiu walked forward quickly, looked at Wei Ting, then looked at the man whose face was covered, and asked, "Who is he?"

"Xiu Nu." Wei Ting said lightly.

"Ah..." Yuchi Xiu was stunned, "You... killed Xiu Nu?"

"He's not dead." Wei Ting said, frowning and glancing at someone, "What's that expression on your face? Could it be that I can't kill him?"

Yuchi Xiu muttered quietly: "Don't you know whether you can kill him or not?"

Wei Ting looked over calmly and said, "Are you dissatisfied with your life again?"

Yuchi Xiu stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

etc.

What did he just do?

Yuchi Xiu covered his mouth.

It was all because of the disrespectful old Zhenbei Marquis who led him astray! Su Xiaoxiao came over and tilted her head to look at him: "Is your foot stuck?"

It's hidden by the bushes and you can't really see it unless you look carefully.

Wei Ting replied with a cold expression: "Yes."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him speechlessly. Even when he was trapped, he still had this aura of being the best in the world. No one else could do that.

It was a trap similar to a bear trap, but the difference was that the tines were not sharp and did not immediately pierce Wei Ting's flesh. But don't think that this means it is not dangerous.

There was a mechanism under the ground, right where Wei Ting sat. As long as he stood up, the mechanism would be activated, causing the trap to close quickly and cut off his entire foot.

Su Xiaoxiao put on the silver gloves and said, "Ordinary people can't step on this mechanism, how lucky are you?"

Wei Ting stepped on it twice. The first time was a trap, and the second time was the mechanism that activated the trap. In short, he was really unlucky.

Su Xiaoxiao used a dagger to pry open the trap, took out Wei Ting's numb foot, and asked Yuchi Xiu to find a stone and put it back in.

She wanted to try out the power of this mechanism.

When Yuchi Xiu helped Wei Ting up, there was a crisp sound and the whole stone was cut into pieces.

If this were a human foot...

Yuchi Xiu said with a sigh, "Sir, your grandfather is really cruel."

Wei Ting didn't ask why Su Xiaoxiao came. It would be strange if this girl would stay in the Imperial Observatory obediently.

Seeing that she was fine, he asked, "Did you meet Lord Su?"

Yuchi Xiu said, "Yes, he is in the woods over there. We will go look for him later. By the way, what happened to Xiu Nu? Why is he wearing a bamboo hat on his face?"

After that, he squatted down and took off the bamboo hat on Xiu Nu's face. "So this is what he looks like. Eh? He wasn't injured, so why did he faint?"

As Yuchi Xiu spoke, he took out a fire starter and looked at Xiu Nu carefully again in the light of the fire. He found that there was a blue mark on Xiu Nu's forehead.

He looked at Wei Ting again, and there was also a large bruise on Wei Ting's forehead.

His expression became indescribable: "No way, sir, you can't beat him, so you resort to headbutt?"

What kind of childish fighting style is this? Wei Ting said calmly, "I didn't do that."

Yuchi Xiu still doesn’t understand him?

"What's going on?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Ting paused and told what had happened before.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "You mean, he saw your iron bell and was distracted for a moment, and then you took the opportunity to pounce on him and knock him unconscious with your head?"

The handsome and elegant Lord Wei actually hit someone with his head. I dare not imagine that scene.

Xiu Nu would never have expected to meet such a shameless opponent.

Wei Ting said seriously: "This is called Iron Head Kung Fu, a unique Shaolin martial art."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

Yuchi Xiu: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao said: "When he fought with you in the woods, he said he felt familiar with you. Then when he saw your iron bell, he was immediately distracted. He seemed to know you. Could he be one of your brothers? Or... father?"

Wei Ting said: "No, my father and brother don't look like this."

He had also suspected this possibility, so he headbutted Xiu Nu at all costs. He actually just wanted to knock his hat off, but it seemed... the force was a little too strong.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "Maybe he has changed his appearance."

Wei Ting: “Hmm?”

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, that's right, a new look."

Wei Ting said according to his own understanding: "He didn't wear a human skin mask, and he didn't disguise himself."

"That's hard to say. There are many ways to change your appearance."

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and pulled a strand of Xiu Nu's hair.

…

Xiu Nu woke up to the sound of sucking.

He opened his eyes, sat up, and tried to grab the sword beside him, but missed.

Not only that, his head was spinning and he almost fell down again.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "He was hit hard by Wei Ting's head."

Xiu Nu looked over in the direction of the sound.

Su Xiaoxiao was holding a little bear in her arms and feeding it milk with a bottle.

The big black bear had just had a fight with the old marquis, and now both the man and the bear were sitting obediently at the entrance of the cave to reflect on themselves.

Wei Ting and Yuchi Xiu had gone to collect firewood and fetch water, and were not in the cave either.

"The sword is here." Su Xiaoxiao gestured to her side with her eyes.

Xiu Nu looked at his sword and didn't go forward to get it.

Su Xiaoxiao held the bottle and fed the little bear while looking at Xiu Nu: "You are very weak. Was it because of Wei Ting's hammer, or was it the backlash of your... power?"

Xiu Nu said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao almost guessed from his expression that the dizziness was caused by Wei Tingchui, but his weak body was the price he had to pay for his strength.

After every battle, they will fall into extreme weakness, and the degree of weakness is related to the intensity of the battle. To put it bluntly, the more energy they use, the weaker they will be afterwards.

During this time, even an ordinary person could kill them.

This is right, otherwise it would be too outrageous.

Xiu Nu felt something strange on his body. He pulled open his sleeves and collar to take a look and found that all the injuries, big and small, on his body had been healed.

He was not injured during the fight with Wei Ting, they were all old injuries.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "You... didn't feel any pain when you were beaten, but your body entered a period of weakness afterwards, so the pain would be doubled, right?"

Regarding the way the old marquis addressed Xiaoxiao, I seem to have always been wrong. She is his niece's granddaughter. The old marquis wanted to be closer to her, so he called her his little granddaughter. "My sister's son is my son, and my sister's granddaughter is my granddaughter." This should be the logic.

Earlier, it seemed that Madam Su also asked Ergou to call her grandma? I forgot which chapter it was.
