Hmm? Qin Zhaoyue's interest was piqued again.
She has the cultivation level, but she doesn't understand a single move or technique, so she can't unleash her full combat power.
But hidden weapons are different. They can be coated with poison and secretly thrown out to ambush people. That's perfect for her!
Sui Mo could tell from her expression that she was very interested, so she called over Mo Twelve.
This girl looks quite quiet and doesn't say more than a few words all day, so Qin Zhaoyue doesn't have much of an impression of her.
However, it is precisely because of this appearance and personality that his use of hidden weapons is even more unexpected.
Just like Mo Er, she is extremely deceptive; who would have thought that she is a strong woman who can achieve miracles?
"Your Highness."
Mo Shier bowed respectfully, then reached up and began to pull at his hair, one stitch, two stitches, three stitches…
Looking at the pile of fine needles in front of her, Qin Zhaoyue felt a chill run down her spine. "Alright, stop arguing."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shier immediately lowered his arm and stood quietly to the side.
"Aren't you going to accidentally hurt yourself?"
"I could when I first started practicing, but not now."
Qin Zhaoyue picked up a flying needle, as thin as a cow's hair, and upon closer inspection under the firelight, it could be seen that it was hollow.
I pinched the middle and pressed the sides, and surprisingly it was quite firm.
"This is Mo Twelve's unique flying needle, which is fast, quiet, and extremely well concealed."
Its attacks are often unpredictable and, after being poisoned, possess considerable lethality.
No fewer than ten fifth-realm experts have died from her flying needles; she even had a record of killing four-realm experts in a single battle.
Qin Zhaoyue's eyes lit up instantly; this suited her perfectly! "I want to learn!"
Mo Shier didn't answer, but looked at the group leader. Sui Mo also didn't expect that the Sixth Princess would be interested in hidden weapons.
"Your Highness, ordinary hidden weapons are fine, but throwing knives and willow leaf darts are relatively easy to master."
Mo Twelve's flying needles are too light, requiring a great deal of skill in technique, and to truly master them, one needs to utilize true qi..."
"Yes, yes!" Qin Zhaoyue nodded vigorously, "I want to learn, I want to learn!"
Suimo sighed, realizing her explanation had been in vain.
Alright, I guess she'll only be interested for a short while. Once the princess tries it and finds it's not that simple, she'll probably give up on her own.
"Oh well."
Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Twelve picked up a flying needle and pressed it into his palm.
Normally she uses her true energy to absorb it, but considering the princess's situation, she first used her thumb to bend and fix it, which was also the method she used when she first started learning flying needles.
Qin Zhaoyue listened attentively, paying attention to the techniques of concealing the needle, maintaining stability, and the force of the flick, because she truly possessed all the qualities to learn them.
After listening to all the key points, she felt that she had a basic grasp of the skill.
"Hey you two, one of you go stand back a bit, and you're wearing a peach on your head."
Gentle breeze, light rain: ?
"Your Highness, are you referring to...me and Xiyu?"
"Nonsense, we're all girls! What if we accidentally poke the wrong spot? Do you really want Ping An to go?"
Gentle breeze and light rain!
Boys are also afraid of being poked in the wrong place, you know, they haven't had children yet.
The two looked at each other and suddenly noticed the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Better to die for a friend than for myself; the ship of friendship can capsize in an instant.
Just as their eyes clashed and undercurrents surged, they suddenly heard the clear sound of bells ringing from the outside.
"Ring ring..."
All the Azure Phoenix Guards instantly went on alert, as did Qingfeng and Xiyu.
Aside from Ping An, who was still enjoying his meal, even Qin Zhaoyue and Tao Yao became wary.
This is a signal that was agreed upon beforehand, indicating that vigilance should be heightened.
Before long, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard; it was the patrol team on night duty.
Upon seeing the leader of the tall, imposing horse, Qin Zhaoyue covered her mouth.
"Sui Mo, Meng Jian is here, he's so handsome!"
Broken Ink: ...
"Well... Your Highness, Commander Meng's cultivation is quite high; he can hear what you're saying. Covering your mouth won't help."
Qin Zhaoyue: !
She immediately pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, as if she had covered her mouth to avoid being impolite, then decisively lowered her head and continued drinking her porridge, as if nothing had happened.
How embarrassing! He heard me peeking at a handsome guy!
Meng Jian, on horseback, originally intended to come over and say hello; even if she was not favored, she was still a princess.
Besides, we'll be seeing each other all the time these days, so it's best to observe all the proper etiquette.
Before they even got close, they could hear the sound of bells and the maids scattered around the Sixth Princess.
Meng Jian instantly made a judgment: these people were definitely not ordinary maids; they all possessed cultivation!
How could this be? The Sixth Princess's residence actually houses so many powerful individuals who have transcended the mortal realm?
Before he could process the information, a soft murmur reached his ears.
Meng Jian's breath hitched, his back stiffened, and he immediately changed his stance from pulling the reins to spurring the horse to squeezing its belly, as if he hadn't heard the words, and swept past the Sixth Princess's camp.
After they had walked a little further away, Qin Zhaoyue finally sighed.
It might seem a bit socially awkward, but everyone has a love for beauty. Besides, since they just pretended not to hear it, let's just happily pretend it never happened.
"Hey, the handsome guy's gone... Do you think he had a six-pack? Did it feel rough to the touch?"
Broken Ink: ...
She wanted to say that Meng Jian should still be able to hear her from this distance, but after opening her mouth, she gave up.
Well, it's only the first day of our journey, so let's keep it a secret for now to keep things quiet.
Meng Jian, who had already ridden away, felt a sudden pang of unease: Could it be? Could it really be coming for me?
After eating and drinking their fill, Qin Zhaoyue stood up. "Alright, everyone who's eaten, get to work. Get some wood and carve it into wooden cards so we can play!"
All the Azure Phoenix Guards: ...
What happened to your promise not to make things difficult for people? You really are the princess of legend.
Only the silly maid Taoyao cooperated, "Princess, shall we play leaf cards?"
"No, let's play Ludo, Animal Chess, Chinese Chess, Gomoku, and Run Fast!"
"This servant has never heard of it."
"That's right, they were all invented by this princess, and there are so many fun ones."
"Great! Great!"
"Playing alone is no fun, how about we gamble some of our monthly salary?"
The applause stopped abruptly, and the silly maid immediately made a face and turned her head away, saying, "Never mind then, I won't play anymore."
"No, just a penny or two will do."
The silly maid wasn't that silly; she already had her monthly wages deducted, so where would she get any money?
Qin Zhaoyue then looked at Sui Mo and asked, "The Qingluan Guards must have a lot of monthly pay, right?"
Broken Ink: ...
I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.
