Chapter 357 I am your cowherd

Shitou was also a stubborn person who did not know how to adapt. He did not dodge and took the blow from the guard head-on. His arm was covered in blood, which was a shocking sight.

"Hiss..." He gasped in pain, his body shaking uncontrollably. He tried to speak with his tongue sticking out, but no words came out.

The guard's knife strike was more of a demonstration than a real intention to kill.

At this moment, they saw that their goal had been achieved. Shitou was afraid, so he put away his knife and said, "Get out of here quickly, otherwise, this will not be the end of this knife."

Stone:"……"

Shitou was still unwilling to leave. Since he had come here, how could he leave without seeing the princess?

Shitou covered the bleeding wound on his arm and said with difficulty: "I, I don't want to go..."

"Not leaving?"

The two guards were stunned.

Is there something wrong with this person's brain?

They showed no mercy and chopped the stone again, striking the other arm.

The wounds looked very deep and there was a lot of blood, which was very scary, but they were not fatal and did not hurt any vital parts, so the problem was not too serious.

But it will hurt!

The stones hurt so much that even breathing was painful.

He didn't dare to breathe deeply, and his legs were weak as he knelt on the ground. After a long while, he finally felt better.

He turned his head to look at the bloody wounds on his arms, and suddenly he came to his senses.

He is an ordinary citizen and nothing. How could he possibly meet the princess in the palace?

He is really wishful thinking.

Next, he should work hard to improve his own strength, make himself a well-known and powerful person, and then talk about repaying the princess.

Otherwise, everything will be in vain.

"Okay, I..." I left.

Shitou figured it out and was no longer stubborn.

He wanted to leave, but as soon as he stood up and turned around, his eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground in pain.

There were people coming and going at the palace gate. When they saw the stone bleeding, they stopped to watch and whispered to each other.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two guards asked someone to throw the stones into the mass grave and quickly cleaned up the blood on the ground.

"What are you looking at? Go away quickly."

"Remember this, if you dare to enter the palace without permission, this is the outcome."

The guards fiercely dispersed the onlookers and even beat them up to make them cautious and not think of breaking into the palace.

When Jiujiu left the palace, she saw the guards who were warning everyone.

Jiujiu didn't know what had just happened. She only saw the guards doing their job conscientiously. They knocked on the people gathered at the palace gate and asked them not to break into the palace and to stay quiet. She thought to herself that these two guards were serious about their work and were honest people.

She curled her lips in satisfaction and smiled softly.

Jin Kui asked, "Princess, do you want a reward?"

"Let's go first!" Jiujiu waved her hand and said, "I have something else to do today, so I won't delay you any longer. We can talk about it later when we have the chance."

"yes."

Jiujiu left the palace in a carriage.

After the two guards drove away the onlookers, they saw the princess's carriage leaving the palace. They wanted to pay a visit to the princess and tell her that someone had just wanted to see her but was driven away by them. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Jiujiu's carriage was running so fast that it was far away in the blink of an eye.

They didn't even have a chance to speak.

Jiujiu went out of the palace to visit her grandfather today. She heard that her grandfather has been in poor health recently and was unable to attend her coming-of-age ceremony. He has been bedridden and unable to get up, and there is a fear that his life may be in danger.

She was about to follow the army to the northern desert. She didn't know how long it would take for her to come back, and whether she would be able to see her grandfather again.

My grandfather was also worried about this, so he sent someone to tell her that he wanted to see her.

Here she comes.

After meeting her grandfather, she will join the army.

Originally, Concubine Jia was also going to come, but she was held up by trivial matters, so Jiujiu had to come alone.

In the carriage, Jin Kui helped Jiujiu hold her shoulders and said, "Princess, Miss Nan sent someone to bring a message yesterday, saying that she will be waiting for you at the gate of Li's mansion today."

"Yeah." Jiujiu nodded, understanding.

"Princess, would you like to have an orange? I'll peel it for you."

"I'll do it myself, keep kneading."

Since returning from the Southern Kingdom, Nan Yuanxiang has gone back to the Nan family to visit her family and has never returned to the palace.

Jiujiu never saw her again except for a brief meeting at the coming-of-age ceremony.

Jiujiu also misses Nan Yuanxiang, fortunately she will see her soon.

At this moment, at the door of Li's house, Li Guangsheng and Su Xiaoxue were already waiting for Jiujiu.

Originally, when Jiujiu came back, her grandfather Li Canfeng and grandmother Xie would be waiting for her. They loved Jiujiu very much and always wanted to see her as soon as possible.

But this time, Li Canfeng fell ill and Xie was taking care of him, so Li Guangsheng and Su Xiaoxue could only wait.

There was a little boy standing next to the two men. He didn't look very old, maybe about ten years old, but he was very naughty. At the moment, he was sitting on the ground playing with mud.

Li Guangsheng and Xie looked at him with disdain, sighed deeply, and continued to look in the direction where the Jiujiu carriage would appear.

Nan Yuanxiang was almost at the gate of Li's house, and Feng Yunyi was chasing after her.

Nan Yuanxiang said impatiently: "Feng Yunyi, what's wrong with you? Why do you always follow me?"

"Who said I followed you? I just happened to pass by here and ran into you."

Nan Yuanxiang: “…”

Hehehe.

He followed her as soon as she left the house, but now he said he was just passing by? Who was he trying to fool? Or was she stupid? So easy to fool?

Feng Yunyi was talking big, but his face didn't blush and his heart didn't beat. He continued: "Nan Yuanxiang, why are you looking at me like this? Do you like me so much that you can't help yourself?"

"I like you, haha." Nan Yuanxiang stopped, pulled Feng Yunyi's ear, and said, "I want to see if you are out of your mind today? We are sisters, how can we talk about love?"

“…”

After hearing this, Feng Yunyi was speechless for a moment.

Sister? Haha, he is a decent man, who wants to be her sister?

"Let go." Feng Yunyi struggled to free Nan Yuanxiang's hand, held her hand forcefully, and said affectionately, "Who is your sister? Don't talk nonsense. If you really want to talk nonsense, you can tell everyone that I am your cowherd."

Cowherd?

In fact, what Feng Yunyi wanted to express was that he was the Cowherd and Nan Yuanxiang was the Weaver Girl, and they were a match made in heaven.

But, Nan Yuanxiang mistakenly thought he was a cowherd, that kind of cowherd.

Nan Yuanxiang's pretty face turned red, and she wanted to hit someone, but suddenly she saw Jiujiu's carriage coming. She withdrew her hand, pointed at the carriage not far away, and said, "It's Jiujiu, Jiujiu is here."

"Let me go, I want to go meet Jiujiu."

"Don't pull me."

Nan Yuanxiang broke free from Feng Yunyi's hand, came to Jiujiu's carriage, and talked to Jiujiu happily.

"Jiujiu, you are finally here. I missed you so much."

"Little cousin, I miss you too." Jiujiu said, holding Nan Yuanxiang's hand and getting off the carriage. She smiled and looked behind Nan Yuanxiang, at Li Guangsheng and Su Xiaoxue who came to greet her, "Uncle, aunt, Xiangyang..."

Seeing how gentle Jiujiu's voice was when calling her son, Li Guangsheng and Su Xiaoxue said with disdain, "Jiujiu, don't pay attention to him."
