In the dead of night on the grassland, the cavalry rushed into the tribe like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, trampling on human lives wantonly. The sounds of hacking, screams of pain, and begging for mercy became the concerto of the night.
The corpses were like firewood, and the tribe became a pile of fire, just like a firefly in the dreary night on the grassland.
A mute couple knelt beside the fire, weeping inconsolably as they stared at the corpses of their tribesmen.
The old patriarch’s body was chopped beyond recognition. He held his little granddaughter tightly in his arms until his death. His little granddaughter was only five years old...
"Why are you crying? They are just a few lowly people."
The woman's voice was mocking and ruthless. Asuna got off her horse arrogantly and said smugly, "I said before I left that I would make them regret it!"
As she spoke, she looked at the dumb couple with contempt:
"I'm not an ungrateful person. Since you've taken good care of me over the years, I'll spare your lives."
The dumb man who had always been honest and loving his "daughter" suddenly jumped up. He pounced on Asuna like a dying old wolf. He regretted bringing this evil ghost back to the tribe and raising her. He wanted to kill this ungrateful wolf.
A whip came and hit Aji's father in the face, immediately tearing his face into pieces.
Asuna's face suddenly flashed with anger: "You old fool, you don't know how to live or die!"
She pulled out the scimitar and slashed at the neck, blood splattered everywhere, but it was Chunqi's mother who stood in front of Aji's father. The scimitar cut her neck, and blood gushed out from the gap.
Asuna wiped the blood off her face and said coldly, "Skin these old guys. If you don't want to leave, then you'll both die!"
"Miss Asuna." The cavalry leader suddenly said, "The messenger of God has sent us to the royal court as soon as possible. Skinning them will take too much time, so we should just kill them directly."
Asuna walked up to the cavalry leader and asked, "What did you just say to me?"
"Asu..."
Bang!
Without waiting for the cavalry leader to finish his words, he slapped him hard in the face.
Asuna raised her chin proudly and said, "Don't call me by this disgusting name anymore."
"Remember, my name is..."
"Yun! Qing! Wu!"
…
The next day.
Qing Wu woke up at daybreak.
It would be more accurate to say that she didn't sleep at all rather than that she rarely did.
After wandering around the palace for a while, she finally found Xiao Chenyan. He was steaming all over, with sweat on his forehead, and there was a faint smell of blood on his body.
"Don't come over." Xiao Chenyan stood five steps away from her, "You haven't showered yet, be careful not to stink yourself."
Qing Wu showed a look of disdain, pinched her nose deliberately, and asked: "Were you there last night?"
"Sleeping."
"Where do you sleep?"
"I hammered a nail into it and hung it on the wall to sleep."
Hearing these teasing words, Qing Wu glared at him and walked forward to tickle him again, but he grabbed her wrist.
Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes to look at her, with a smile in his eyes:
"I'm very dirty now, are you sure you want to make a scene?"
"You smell like sweat and blood. Did you kill someone or set a fire last night?"
"I went to Huang County."
"Huang County? You used the method of shrinking the earth to make it a foot long and went to Huang County in the middle of the night to help General Huo suppress the bandits?" Even Qing Wu was dumbfounded, "Xiao Chenyan, you are really full of blood and vigor."
Xiao Chenyan felt a nerve twitch in his brain, and he couldn't help but flick her forehead: "Is this how these two words are used?"
"What else? Last night, your sword was thirsty and you had to go to Huang County to kill bandits to sacrifice it?"
Xiao Chenyan felt a pain between his brows. He took a deep breath and suddenly took a step forward. Qing Wu was caught off guard by his approach and was startled. Just as she was about to step back, the man bent down and hugged her around her knees with his long arms.
"ah!"
Qing Wu's short and sharp voice was directly carried on his shoulder. Xiao Chenyan took the opportunity to shake her, which not only made Qing Wu's curse in her throat echo back, but also almost made her spill the overnight meal.
"Put me down."
"Be honest."
"You stink! You're dirty, smelly, and sweaty! You're going to make me vomit!"
"You deserve it." Let you speak without restraint.
People in the palace did not know Xiao Chenyan's identity and actually treated him as the princess's younger brother, 'Master Moshi'. The black-armored guards all looked a little strange after seeing this scene.
They only started whispering to each other after Xiao Chenyan carried Qing Wu away.
"Isn't it too much for siblings to do this and that?"
"This Master Moshi appears and disappears every day. Did you see the look in his eyes when he looked at our princess? Oh, that look is really unclean. Could this be my brother?"
The black-armored guards looked at each other, sighed, and felt heavy in their hearts.
"But didn't Mr. Situ say that Master Moshi is the princess's biological brother? He can't help lying, right?"
"Maybe he is trying to save the prince's reputation?"
A group of rough guys sighed.
"My Lord, it's so painful..."
"If the prince doesn't come back from Nanling, my house will be robbed. What's going on here..."
A bunch of rough-mannered men who couldn't even find wives were worrying about their masters, not knowing that their "loud conspiracies" had already reached the ears of the two masters.
It goes without saying that Qing Wu's hearing is excellent. Nothing in the palace can escape her eyes and ears. Xiao Chenyan is now between "being a human but not a human", and his hearing is also extraordinary.
Before reaching Iris Courtyard, he put Qing Wuxu down as she struggled.
"Your good subordinates are really heartbroken for you!"
"Well, we have to give them some rewards."
Qing Wu rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head and sniffed herself, grinning in disgust: "You stink me up!"
"You did it on purpose." Xiao Chenyan glanced at her and said, "If you think it stinks, why don't you take a shower and clean your brain? I wonder who taught you to say those nonsense."
Qing Wu took out the judge's pen and poked him, "Do you believe I'll poke your kidney?"
Xiao Chenyan was caught off guard and was poked on the funny spot. His body stiffened and he raised his hand to pinch her cheek reflexively.
After this move, the two men looked at each other.
Qing Wu's eyes were blazing with fire: "You've been very naughty lately, pinching my face all the time?"
Xiao Chenyan: It’s a habit…
The main reason was that her face was round, soft and tender when she was a child, like a meat bun, which was very comfortable to pinch, and he was used to it.
He rubbed his fingers, with a smile in his eyes: "I seem to have gained some weight recently."
Qing Wu felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she slapped his hand away, rubbed her face, pouted her red lips, and cursed under her breath.
She was mumbling nonsense, which Xiao Chenyan couldn't understand, but he had a feeling that her curse must be very dirty.
"Did I worry you last night when I was away?"
Qing Wu stopped cursing, glanced at him, and turned her face away proudly: "Who would worry about you? I'm sleeping soundly."
The judge's pen that had just been used as a tool to poke the kidneys said: "That's strange, Awu, you tossed and turned last night, like a maggot."
The veins on Qing Wu's forehead bulged, and the hand holding the pen exerted force, and the pen made a miserable sound.
"Break the bird! I want to break the bird! Woohoo, you are so angry! I was just whispering to you, and Brother Yantai can't hear it anyway."
Xiao Chenyan: Um... sorry, I heard everything.
