Chapter 121 The Underestimated Song Jiaren
In fact, no matter whether the relationship between husband and wife is sweet or bitter, it is not something that should be told to outsiders.
But then again, Li Anning is not completely an outsider.
For the past three days, she had been the insider.
It is difficult to understand what is happening in the mind of the person involved, so why not listen to her thoughts as an outsider?
After thinking for a moment, Li Nuo slowly said: "This is a long story..."
After a while, Li Anning supported his chin with one hand, peeled a slice of orange, put it into his mouth, and said, "Actually, I can understand your wife. Not to mention that she has such a high talent for martial arts, even if she is an ordinary woman, she would not be willing to marry a fool..."
Although this sentence is not so pleasant to hear, it is true.
Therefore, Li Nuo never felt dissatisfied with his wife because of this matter.
Li An Ning thought for a moment and continued, "Although you are no longer stupid, given what happened before, if I were her, I would not be able to save face. What's more, a woman like her must be very proud in her heart and would not easily accept anyone as her husband..."
After putting himself in Song Jiaren's shoes, Li Anning was able to figure out many things.
He has shown excellent talent in martial arts since he was young. At a young age, he is already a martial arts master of the fourth level. His future in martial arts is limitless.
Even if one cannot reach the sixth realm, it is not difficult to become a grandmaster.
Even if her husband is not a martial arts genius, he must be a rare talent.
If she were Song Jiaren, she would have run away long ago.
Li Anning spoke as he analyzed.
"The question now is what her ideal husband looks like."
"If she wants her husband to have the same martial arts talent as her, then you might as well divorce her early and marry a like-minded woman. If you continue like this, you will only torture each other."
"If she doesn't think so, then it's not impossible for you two to be together. Maybe after spending more time together, you will naturally develop feelings for each other. By then, everything will fall into place... Do you know what kind of husband Song Jiaren likes?"
Li Nuo shook his head. He could never guess what his wife was thinking.
Li Anning thought about it and changed the way of asking, "Is she usually nice to you?"
Li Nuo recalled and nodded.
Li Anning asked, "How is it better? Please tell me in detail."
Li Nuo said: "When we were not familiar with each other before, we were embarrassed to sleep in the same bed, so she always slept on the floor."
Li Anning: “…”
She suspected that Li Nuo had hidden meaning in his words.
Then she realized something and asked, "You all sleep in the same bed?"
She thought that given the relationship between Li Nuo and Song Jiaren, they would be like they had been doing in the past few days, with one sleeping on the bed and the other sleeping on the floor.
I didn't expect that they had already slept in the same bed.
Li Nuo nodded and said, "We just sleep in the same bed, but with different quilts and pillows."
Li Anning breathed a sigh of relief.
This is very telling.
If she hated someone, she would never lie in the same bed with him.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "In that case, she should not be against you. You two have slept in the same bed and have fallen in love with each other for a long time. Maybe one day, she will accept you...but now..."
Li Nuo asked: "What's going on now?"
Li Anning lowered his head silently and said nothing.
Li Nuo also understood.
I was getting along well with my wife, and our relationship was developing steadily and getting closer every day. Maybe one day we would fall in love.
Then, she saw him and another woman being affectionate and showing their love on the street.
This is not the worst.
What's more serious is that Li An Ning fed him food in front of her, and she not only accepted it, but also called Li An Ning "wife"...
Isn't this just a close-fitting shot?
She didn't kill them with her sword, which showed her restraint.
Li Anning raised her head again and asked, "She was really not angry just now?"
Li Nuo was unsure, but he still said, "She wasn't angry last time when rumors about us were spread outside. This time... she shouldn't be angry either, right?"
Li Anning also heard those rumors last time, and they were indeed outrageous.
Things like the golden palace to protect her husband, future prince consort..., it sounds like the truth.
Not to mention that she didn't think about finding a prince consort, even if she wanted to, she wouldn't look for a married man.
After being reminded by Li An Ning, Li Nuo realized that the relationship between him and his wife was already in the development stage, and this might very well lead to all the previous efforts being wasted.
He sighed softly and said, "This time, I should be on this mission with my wife..."
This is indeed a great opportunity to promote bonding.
The relationship with Li Anning is progressing so fast, let alone my wife.
After all, she is his legally married wife. Even if she refuses, it is better to find someone else than to do it without authorization.
Song Yu's wife does not really match her figure, but she can find someone else to play the role. It will only take some time and she will definitely find one that suits her.
Every failure makes you wiser. Next time a similar situation occurs, be sure to explain it to her in advance.
Li Anning paused while peeling the orange.
With Song Jiaren?
Does she have that figure?
Does she have her own acting skills?
Or is she willing to make as great a sacrifice as herself in order to solve the case?
Holding hands, hugging, dressing up...
How many first times has she missed?
Has Song Jiaren ever held his hand, let him hug her or carry her on his back, or fed him with her own hands?
He even felt regretful!
Li Anning was furious. She looked at Li Nuo expressionlessly and said, "She's not angry, but maybe she doesn't care. After all, who would care about someone they don't like?"
Li Nuo still knew whether his wife cared about him or not.
If she didn't care, why would she stay outside the cell all night to guard him?
If she really hated him, why would she teach him horse riding and archery personally?
Apart from this sentence, Li Anning's analysis as his emotional strategist is still very reasonable.
"Thank you."
Li Nuo stood up, bowed to Li An Ning, and said, "For those remaining members of the Thief Sect, when the Ministry of Justice comes out with the results, remember to have someone notify me."
When he reached the door, he thought of something again, turned around and walked back, putting the remaining oranges on the table in his arms.
Seeing Li An Ning looking at him, Li Nuo explained: "This orange is good, I'll take it back and let my wife taste it..."
He took an orange from Li An Ning's hand and said, "It's not good to eat too many oranges. Your skin will turn yellow. You've eaten enough today. I'll take this away for you."
Watching Li Nuo walk out of the yamen, Li An Ning gritted his teeth.
Dog man!
He didn't even remember our past friendship and didn't leave any for me!
Fake is fake after all. In his heart, she will never be as good as Song Jiaren!
Li Anning was thinking angrily, and his expression suddenly froze.
Why does she want to compare herself with Song Jiaren?
Why can she compare with Song Jiaren?
She rubbed her brows. She had been too immersed in the role these days and needed some time to adjust.
She didn't sleep last night. After finishing the work of the Ministry of Justice, she immediately went to the Li family. With her body, she felt tired at the moment. She hoped that after a good night's sleep, she would completely forget this feeling...
Song Mansion.
When Li Nuo came back, Mu'er was swinging on the swing in the yard alone.
Seeing Li Nuo coming back, she pointed towards the room and winked at her desperately.
Li Nuo walked into the room and saw his wife sitting at the table.
There was a book in front of her, but she didn't even open it.
Li Nuo walked over, took out four oranges from his arms and placed them on the table, saying, "These are tribute oranges. They taste good. Madam, please try them."
Song Jiaren didn't look up, she opened the book on the table and said, "Give it to Mu'er and Ning'er."
Li Nuo glanced outside and said, "Mu'er doesn't like eating oranges."
Song Muer, who was standing outside the door and eavesdropping, looked helpless. Forget it, Brother Li Nuo said she didn't like it, so she didn't like it.
Li Nuo sat opposite Song Jiaren, peeled an orange, peeled off the white orange peel on the orange segments, handed it to Song Jiaren, and said, "Try one, this orange is really delicious..."
Song Jiaren turned a page and said calmly, "I don't like eating oranges."
Li Nuo had slept with her for so long that he knew her a little bit.
She doesn't dislike eating oranges, she's just angry.
If she really didn't like oranges, she would at least look at him before refusing.
Li Nuo put down the orange and said, "Madam, I have to apologize to you."
Song Jiaren said calmly: "If you are talking about the matter with the princess, then there is no need to say more. You don't need to apologize for this matter."
Li Nuo shook his head and said, "Pretending to be a couple with Her Royal Highness the Princess for three days, we eradicated the Dao Men organization and captured nearly 500 thieves. There is nothing wrong with this. Even if I were to choose again, I would still do it. But before doing this, I should tell you that we are husband and wife after all, although you may not think so..."
Song Jiaren paused while flipping through the book, looked up at him, and moved her lips: "I..."
As a couple, there are some things that they never express clearly, and they both keep a tacit understanding with each other.
But she still heard some self-deprecation in this sentence.
Did she think so, he thought?
She slowly lowered her head and said, "I don't think otherwise...
After turning the passive situation into the active one sentence, Li Nuo did not continue to dwell on it, and said sincerely: "So I want to apologize to you. This time I was inconsiderate. I will pay attention next time."
In order to prevent Li Nuo from going deeper into another topic, Song Jiaren closed the book, looked at him, and said, "I'm really not angry. Do you think I'm unreasonable?"
Li Nuo put a slice of orange to her mouth and said, "Then eat an orange."
Song Jiaren hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth slightly, and reluctantly took the orange slice that Li Nuo handed over.
Now Li Nuo was sure that she was not angry anymore.
However, he still explained in detail: "That day on the street, we actually deliberately performed it for the people who were secretly monitoring us. The people who stole the door were very cautious. You don't know how careful they are. If we didn't do this, they wouldn't trust me at all, and this mission would not have been successful..."
Song Jiaren nodded, picked up an orange on the table and started peeling it.
Sincerity is indeed the ultimate weapon, and she started to like eating oranges again.
Li Nuo continued, "It was an emergency. After I was chosen by the steward of the thieves' sect that day, they sent people to secretly monitor me, so I couldn't come back. I had to ask Steward Wu to send you a message. You should have received the message. What did he tell you?"
Song Jiaren peeled the orange peel carefully and said, "He said that you have important things to do and won't be back to stay for a few days."
Li Nuo glanced outside. What a fool is Butler Wu. Will he die if he explains a few more words at this time?
He usually says a lot of things that he shouldn't say, but when he should say something, he doesn't say a word.
He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and explained, "These past few days, we have been staying at a civilian's home in the north of the city. However, at night, the princess always sleeps on the bed and I sleep on the floor, just like we did before. Nothing happened..."
Song Jiaren nodded and said, "I know."
Li Nuo was slightly stunned: "You know all this?"
Song Jiaren ate a slice of orange and said, "The aura in your body is pure yin, and the aura in your body is strong yang. If you practice special martial arts techniques and have a cultivation level above the fourth level, you will be able to sense it."
She had no doubt about this.
If they really had a fusion of yin and yang, the energy in their bodies would be yang in yin and yin in yang, it would not be so pure.
Compared with Song Yu, he is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
Li Nuo didn't have the chance to ask the old woman how she knew he was still a virgin. He didn't expect that the old woman had such a skill.
However, the old woman didn't have any skills, so she must have some other tricks. He would have to ask her about it next time he went to the Ministry of Justice.
Next, Li Nuo told his wife everything that had happened in the past few days.
From the murder case that day, to the Thieves' Sect, and how he sneaked into the Thieves' Sect, passed the layers of competition, became the leader of the Thieves' Sect, and how he gained their trust and finally succeeded in catching all the Thieves' Sect members in one fell swoop...
Whether she is interested or not is one thing, whether he says it or not is another.
It's a matter of attitude.
Of course, he didn't tell everything.
The incident of breaking into the house and robbing people can be described in detail.
The matter of pretending to be a couple with Li Anning should be kept silent if possible.
Song Jiaren lowered her head to peel an orange and asked a question in her mind: "Have you cooked for yourself in the past three days?"
Li Nuo nodded and said, "Yes, luckily I know a little bit about cooking, otherwise eating would be a big problem. By the way, my lady, you must not know that the thieves in the robbery sect actually have rules. They have the "Ten Don'ts", which are not to steal from the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, the poor, and the beggars..."
Song Jiaren asked: "Can you cook?"
Li Nuo was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "I know a little bit. I didn't expect that there are six arts for thieves, namely climbing over walls, picking locks..."
Song Jiaren asked: "After you put on makeup, even familiar people can't recognize you. How do you do that?"
Li Nuo lowered his head and said, "Well, ma'am, you know I know a little bit about makeup. I've done it for Mu'er Ning'er before..."
"You did the princess's makeup, too?"
"Forehead……"
"you---"
"My lady, I suddenly remembered that Song Yu had something to ask me just now. I'll go check on him."
…
When Li Nuo came to Song Yu's room, he found that he was reading a book.
According to Song Yu, with his knowledge of military tactics, he could not keep up with Miss Yuanyang's thoughts when they were chatting, so he planned to make up for it by studying military tactics.
Li Nuo also picked up a book at random to read.
If he doesn't leave now, he might have to sleep alone at night.
My wife talked a lot today, asking questions one after another.
So many first times were given to the fake wife. What would the real wife think?
He used the book on military strategy as a cover, but his eyes were actually looking at the law code.
It lasted for more than six hundred days. I have never fought such a rich battle in my life.
The imperial examination is definitely enough. The fourth level of cultivation is enough to be exchanged at least three times.
Just now in the Ministry of Justice, he was so focused on looking at the life span that he forgot to check if there were any new color portraits.
The goat beard is just a guardian, and he can get the recognition of the code.
The two messengers above him, as well as the other three guardians, may be qualified to light up the portrait.
Having the stealing skills of so many people at the same time, isn't he the king of thieves?
Li Nuo opened the code, turned to the back, and his expression froze.
Logically speaking, since so many thieves were captured and their lifespans were extended by several hundred days, there should be dozens more pages of portraits at the end.
But there was not a single extra portrait on the code.
Not only was there not one more, but there was one less.
The portrait of the goateed thief who was originally ranked second has disappeared!
This portrait played a vital role in helping Li Nuo to eliminate the thieves in one fell swoop.
But it disappeared so inexplicably.
Strangely, the knowledge about stealing techniques is still in Li Nuo's mind.
It was clear that at this time yesterday, he had not exchanged the goatee's stealing skills.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all the time he had owned the code.
Could it be that the same abilities will be merged in the code?
That way, not all the pictures will be merged.
Li Nuo looked down at his hands, his eyes moved slightly, as if he realized something.
He walked out of Song Yu's yard and stopped when he passed by a wall of the Song Mansion.
A moment later, a figure floated over the courtyard wall and landed without making any sound.
Li Nuo looked back.
Although the portrait on the code disappeared, his ability to climb over the wall did not diminish at all.
It has even been enhanced.
No, this is not an enhancement.
When he climbed over the wall before, the sound was small, but there was still some sound, but he used his body movement and skills to reduce it to a minimum.
But this time, there was not even the slightest sound.
It truly achieves absolute silence when it lands.
This goes against science, okay?
Even in a world where martial arts are rampant and a hundred schools of thought contend, sometimes science is necessary.
Li Nuo suddenly thought of a book he had read about the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Hundreds of years ago, during the period of flourishing and contending schools of thought, in addition to mainstream schools such as Confucianism, Legalism, Military Science, and Mohism, there were also some niche schools, and Daoist School was one of them.
The thieves at that time were not the same as they are today.
Real thieves, like other thieves, have special abilities.
They can gather all the energy in their bodies, landing silently, and even pick up objects from a distance. These, like the power of rules of the Legalists, the power of mechanisms of the Mohists, and the great power of the Confucians, all involve the mysterious laws of heaven and earth.
Li Nuo carefully felt the changes in his body and discovered that in addition to the power of the Legalists, there was another deep hidden power in his body.
The portrait on the code disappeared, but the ability to steal did not disappear. Instead, it was integrated into his body.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the power of the thief family.
What kind of thing is this? He is a law practitioner, but he actually has the power to steal people's homes.
You know, the ancient thieves had completely disappeared in the long river of history because it was too difficult to get started and practicing was not glorious. They had not appeared for hundreds of years. He might be the only heir of the thieves in the world today...
Putting all this aside for now, Li Nuo discovered a new ability of the codex.
Not only can it acquire other people's special abilities, it can also automatically integrate them. As long as the number of portraits with the same ability reaches a certain level, it will change from an experience to permanent and will no longer consume his lifespan.
Just as he was about to try something else, Li Nuo looked up and saw Ning'er sitting on the steps in the yard peeling an orange.
Li Nuo was slightly stunned and asked, "Ning'er, what are you doing here?"
Li Nuo remembered that there should be no one living in this yard, so he climbed in.
Song Ning'er raised her head and saw Li Nuo, then turned back to look at the closed door from the inside, and asked in surprise: "Brother Li Nuo, how did you get in?"
Li Nuo said: "I, I was practicing Qinggong, and I climbed over the wall to get in..., why are you here?"
Song Ning'er said: "This is my secret place. When they don't play with me, I play here alone."
She blinked her eyes and said to Li Nuo, "Brother Li Nuo, if you want to come here in the future, can you go through the door?"
"Okay." Li Nuo nodded and said, "Then you continue to play. I'm going back."
After saying that, he opened the gate and walked out.
After Song Ning'er bolted the door, a figure walked out from behind the tree.
Song Ning'er divided the orange in half, handed it to her, and said, "Master sister, try this orange. Brother Li Nuo brought it back from outside. It's very sweet..."
The veiled woman looked in the direction where Li Nuo disappeared, with an extremely puzzled expression under her veil.
When he climbed over the wall just now, he made no sound.
There wasn't even a trace of true energy fluctuation.
Warriors at the fourth level can land silently, but there will be fluctuations in their true energy.
I have never heard of the Legalists having such ability.
He couldn't possibly be a sixth-level warrior...
There are more and more mysteries surrounding this guy.
Song Jiaren, oh Song Jiaren, what kind of husband did you marry?
After returning to his own courtyard, Li Nuo planned to study the ability of stealing houses.
This school of thought has been lost for hundreds of years, and even the books only mention it in one sentence.
What Li Nuo knows now is that climbing over a wall can violate the laws of physics and make no sound at all.
Picking locks and unblocking, I don't know if there are any changes.
Li Nuo walked to the door and found that it was closed from the inside. When he wanted to open the door, he subconsciously put his hand on the door.
The next moment, the door latch in the house opened by itself. There was no sound during the whole process.
Li Nuo pushed the door open and was slightly stunned.
Song Jiaren, who was changing clothes, was also stunned.
Although she heard Li Nuo's footsteps.
But she remembered that she had clearly closed the door.
Did I remember it wrong?
Li Nuo looked at the bra in her hand and thought that he had really underestimated her before...
