Xiao Nanhui looked at the other person in confusion, not understanding whether he looked down on her or on Xiao Zhun who taught her kung fu.
If you can't say it, then don't say it. Why bother talking nonsense with her?
"Master Xiao?"
Xiao Nan came to her senses suddenly. The ceremonial officer who had delivered her armor that day was standing in the tent, and Lu Songping was with him.
Mo Chunhua looked at the other person wantonly from the side, probably wondering: How did such a feminine-looking pretty boy become the captain of the Black Feather Camp?
Xiao Nanhui had become quite familiar with her over the past few days. Mo Chunhua was a person with a very simple mind and was very easy to guess. She probably knew what she was thinking. She patted her shoulder and whispered, "Be polite, or you'll regret it."
Mo Chunhua hummed in agreement. Then, she thought again, feeling a little embarrassed for being intimidated, and angrily walked forward to take the clothes from the ceremonial officer.
"Right General, the training ground is ready. Please change your clothes and come with me."
******************
Before Xiao Nanhui changed his clothes, he didn't expect it to be this color.
Touching the scarlet shorts on her body, she looked around curiously and couldn't help asking, "There are clothes of this color in the camp. Why haven't I seen them before?"
The ceremonial officer, walking diligently a few steps away, didn't even turn his head. "I don't know what's going on in the camp. If you have any questions, please ask His Majesty in person later."
She choked and had to give up.
The style of the clothes was indeed the most common military training uniform, but the color was really strange. It wasn't dark ochre, nor was it bright red, but a color between vermilion and orange, more like...
Xiao Nanhui only felt her palm burning, and the words written by Zhu Pan on her palm flashed before her eyes.
It is the color of cinnabar.
"What is Master Xiao thinking?"
Lu Songping suddenly spoke, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if she had been caught doing something bad.
"Thinking, thinking about this dress..."
"I was asking. I was in the tent just now."
Xiao Nanhui was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was asking him why he was daydreaming in the tent.
She thought about it and felt that although Lu Songping's behavior was not pleasing, he could be considered half her own person. She was feeling a little depressed, so she told him about her conversation with Ding Weixiang in the morning.
After hearing this, Lu Songping was silent for a moment and raised his eyebrows.
"Did Lieutenant Ding really say that?"
"Is it fake?" Xiao Nanhui angrily tied his cuffs and tightened the binding on his hands. "Do you think he's deliberately trying to make things difficult for me? He knows I'm doing a thankless job, but he still keeps saying nonsense..."
"Right General." Lu Songping suddenly interrupted her.
This was the first time he called her by her official title. Xiao Nanhui stopped and looked at him suspiciously.
Lu Songping's expression relaxed for a moment, and he grinned at her half-jokingly, "General, you should know that caution is the best way to go. Who knows, Lieutenant Ding might be doing this for your own good?"
Lu Songping said this half-jokingly, but for some reason, Xiao Nanhui couldn't tell how much of it was true and how much was false.
Before she could continue to figure out, the ceremonial officer leading the way stopped and turned to look at her.
"Master Xiao, the field ahead is a temporary training ground. The surrounding defenses were personally arranged by Master Lu. They are very well-prepared. Please go with peace of mind."
What does it mean to go with peace of mind?
Xiao Nanhui was very dissatisfied with the ceremonial officer's words, but she couldn't say anything for a moment. Lu Songping watched her quietly from the side, with an indescribable strangeness in his eyes.
The uncomfortable feeling she had just felt became stronger. She scratched her head vigorously, stretched her limbs on the spot, distracted herself for a while, made up her mind, and walked towards the martial arts field.
It was called a martial arts training ground, but in reality, the place was not very large, presumably a temporary space built for the emperor's use. The layout seemed random, but a lot of thought went into it, making it easy for secret guards to patrol the area while leaving no blind spots where people could hide.
Xiao Nanhui's evaluation of Lu Songping became even higher, and his inquiring gaze turned to the center of the field, where a person was standing.
The man also heard her footsteps and slowly turned around.
At that moment, the wind blew up the sand and gravel on the saline-alkali land, which blurred her eyes.
She knew who the person in front of her was, but she couldn't tell whether he was Zhongli Jing or Su Wei.
When Ding Weixiang had given her instructions earlier, she had even been somewhat rebellious, wanting to use her power for personal gain to teach the emperor what martial arts were.
But that person taught her to give up this idea at that moment.
He took off his usual long gown made of luxurious fabric and dragged lazily, and changed into a dark blue short shirt with his long hair tied up. Unfortunately, his overly handsome and delicate face did not add a trace of heroic spirit. Instead, the slightly rough fabric made it look even more fragile, like a jade statue covered with rags by ignorant villagers.
He was the stark contrast to the roughness of the land beneath his feet.
It is also completely different from the one she was born from.
Xiao Nanhui suddenly felt a headache.
In her early years, when she was fighting and fooling around with all kinds of ruffians in the army, she never knew what "property" was, but now she has to think about this issue carefully.
Just from this pause, Su Wei noticed her hesitation, raised his eyes to look at her, and for some reason a faint smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Nanhui's headache instantly turned into difficulty breathing, and he took half a step back as if facing a formidable enemy.
What does he do?
She was used to seeing brave men leading troops into battle, and she had never thought that men could be like this.
In the past, she would not frown even when facing thousands of troops and extremely cruel enemies, but now, basking in the gentle afternoon sun, she felt a little weak in the legs.
The emperor definitely did it on purpose.
He was a man who rarely smiled or even raised his eyebrows on normal days, but now he was smiling at her!
Do you think I'll show mercy to you if you smile?
Xiao Nanhui's heart was churning. He coughed lightly to cover it up and said in a serious tone, "If Your Majesty is ready, let's begin."
Su Wei opened his arms slightly, and she saw the crystal clear relics on his wrist sparkling in the sun, like the light of the sun and the moon held in the mouth of a giant dragon in the legend.
"I'm ready, Gu."
