Lu Fei glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the man who was supposed to have escaped. He took a look at the stone and threw it out, hitting another soldier.
He was shocked. Judging from the short time they got together, she did not have any martial arts skills, but her ability to throw stones was extremely accurate!
While he was stunned for a moment, several more pebbles flew towards him, none of them missed.
Without anyone's instructions, the two agile soldiers immediately rushed towards Xiyue. During the battle, they had to deal with the opponent's archers as soon as possible. They had this common sense from military backgrounds.
Lu Fei hurriedly flew forward to stop the two of them. Since she could throw stones accurately, he naturally wanted her to perform well to increase her chances of winning.
Moreover, she was extremely strong. Even though she had no internal strength, the destructive power of the stone should not be underestimated, and she had to bear more than a share of his pressure.
After fighting for a while, Lu Fei took the chance, grabbed a horse, fought his way out from among the soldiers, picked up Xi Yue who was throwing stones, and galloped towards the city gate.
Xiyue, who was sitting behind, had just settled down, turned around and threw all the remaining stones in his hand. The two soldiers who had been chasing him immediately felt pain in their eyebrows and fell to the ground.
The soldier behind him felt his heart tremble, and his feet involuntarily slowed down. When they tried to pursue them again, the two men had already run out of sight.
The leader of the pursuing soldiers turned around, grabbed the bow and arrow, set the bow and pulled the string, and the arrow shot through the air like lightning...
"Chase"
The horse galloped wildly, and after an hour he finally got rid of his pursuers. Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and scolded him without looking back: "Didn't I tell you to leave first? You don't know martial arts, so you are just trying to show off your strength."
As he was training, he felt his shoulders sink. Before he could react, the person behind him fell limply towards the horse.
Lu Fei was startled. He quickly reined up his horse and rushed to catch her. A sharp arrow was inserted into her shoulder, almost piercing her entire right shoulder...
In the palace.
The middle-aged female officer Lan Wei suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is missing."
"What?" The emperor stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, staring at her, and repeated: "What did you say?"
Lan Wei was about to cry. She suppressed her fear and said, "My slave went to Zhaoyang Palace to deliver meals and found that the lunch box was not moved. He hurriedly went in to check and found that the princess was gone."
The emperor sat down on the couch in panic. Wang Xi, the eunuch and leader of the royal family, was surprised for a moment, but he didn't care about overstepping his bounds and asked hurriedly: "So, you didn't see me in the morning?"
"Breakfast hasn't been touched yet."
Wang Xi asked sharply: "Why didn't you go in to check?"
Lan Wei trembled: "The princess has occasionally been in a bad mood before. When she didn't eat, the slave thought that this time it was the same..."
"You bastard!" The emperor was so angry that he grabbed the tea cup and threw it at the female official. "You are not promoted to a female official to make you a living. You can't stand a little girl, so what's the use of you!"
"Your Majesty, calm down." Lan Wei leaned down, regretful in her heart. If she had known she would live in Zhaoyang Palace today.
Nanny Zhang took care of Princess Xi Yue for thirteen years and died in her sixtieth year. She is only thirty now. How much luck can be devoured by taking care of her for five years.
Wang Xi's cloudy eyes flashed with an imperceptible glint, and he reminded: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to find the princess."
"Yes, yes, someone is coming, someone is coming -"
"Your Majesty!" The guard pushed open the door and entered.
The emperor was about to order a large-scale search, but he finally regained some sense when he spoke. At present, only a few people knew that Princess Xi Yue had been born. Searching for her with great fanfare would definitely make people panic and destabilize the government and the public.
After calming down his mind, he said: "Prince Xuan."
The guard glanced at Wang Xi, but didn't get the hint, so he took the order and went out.
"Wang Xi, Lan Wei."
"Slave/Slave is here."
"Secret search throughout the palace."
"yes."
The prince knew that Nanming would be destroyed before he became emperor, so he did not bother to plan. He spent these years eating and drinking, and his life was a happy one.
When he heard that Xiyue was missing, he suddenly became angry: "What are you doing if you provide her with good food and drink?"
Even so, she still left the palace to look for her. If there was an accident and she died unexpectedly, their happy life would have to end early.
When Xiyue woke up again, it was already night.
The bright moon outside the window was extremely bright, and the room was bright. Lu Fei was drinking strong tea, his face was full of fatigue. As he raised his hand, his sleeves fell down, and his exposed forearm was wrapped in white cloth, with blood leaching from it.
She was startled, and a warm current flowed through her heart. This was the second time in sixteen years that she woke up with someone by her side. The first time was on the raft, and it was him.
"You're awake, how do you feel? Wait, I'll call the doctor over."
After Lu Fei finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door, calling for the doctor.
The white-bearded doctor took his pulse and said: "There is no danger of life, but the wound has not healed, so we need to take good care of it."
Lu Fei frowned slightly, then relaxed it quickly. He sent the old doctor away with a lot of thanks, then turned around and began to lecture: "Tell me about you. You were hit by an arrow and you didn't even make a sound. You almost went to see the Lord of Hell." do you know?"
Thinking of the situation at that time, he couldn't help but feel frightened. His whole back was swollen. If the arrow hadn't been blocked, he would have almost bled to death.
Facing the scolding, Xiyue remained calm. She just raised her finger and pointed at his arm, gesturing, 'You are injured too. '
Lu Fei glared at her: "Can you compare with me? I am from the world of martial arts. I have been exposed to wind and rain. This injury is nothing. Besides, you were hit by an arrow. Do you know how dangerous it is to pull it out?"
Xiyue shook her head. She grew up alone in the deep palace and had no chance to see these things. But even if she knew, she didn't care.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lu Fei knew that he knew what he was asking.
For a moment, he felt regretful: "You are born with supernatural powers, but you haven't specially trained them. You are so accurate at throwing stones, and you are strong-minded and not afraid of pain. If you were in the world, you would definitely become a master archer. It's a pity."
Xiyue was not interested in the magic archer he was talking about. She looked at the bright moon in the sky and prepared to continue sleeping.
Not wanting to, Lu Fei had a sudden thought: "After you recover from your injury, do you want to learn martial arts from me? You are a bit older, but you are very talented. In time, you will become a peerless master."
Xiyue decisively refused.
Lu Fei refused to give up and said seductively: "Don't you want to travel and see the scenery? If you learn martial arts well, you don't have to worry about meeting bad people and go wherever you want. Look at me, visiting the palace is like visiting your own garden... "
Xi Yue secretly rolled her eyes. She had to be sick to learn martial arts. In the last two years, she naturally learned whatever martial arts she wanted.
She pulled the quilt over her head and refused to listen to his words.
"Forget it, you have a good rest. I'll hire a carriage. I have to be on my way early tomorrow morning." Lu Fei was not in a hurry. He didn't know how long it would take them to escape from the Zhenguo General's Mansion. There were plenty of opportunities for her to realize The importance of martial arts.
In the days that followed, just as Lu Fei expected, the General Mansion kept chasing them. Every time they escaped, they would be found again, which made him wonder whether the life of the young master of the Xu family was completely ruined.
Of course, every time after getting rid of his pursuers, he would try to lure Xiyue to practice martial arts, but Xiyue's refusal was as decisive as before, making Lu Fei so angry that he wanted to part ways with her.
The only thing that makes Lu Fei happy is that under his guidance, she can already speak some simple words, and communication does not have to rely entirely on guessing. The disadvantage is that it is even more irritating.
Except when her pursuers arrived, she would run away with them. The rest of the time, she would be undisciplined. She would sleep until midnight, and then go out for shopping, admiring the scenery, eating, drinking, and having fun.
Time flows like flowing water. In March, they passed by lotus ponds, walked through star frost, crossed waterfalls, drank moonlight together, and finally arrived at Jinci Town on the eighth day of the winter lunar month. However, the pursuers of the General's Mansion had disappeared for three days.
Lu Fei walked aside and said: "Jinci Town is a century-old porcelain capital and is very famous throughout the continent. There are countless caravans coming here to purchase goods, and there are many people coming and going. This time we can stay longer."
Thinking of her free will, he simply held Xi Yue's sleeve and said, "Follow me closely, don't get lost."
Xiyue raised her hand and pointed to the place where the crowd gathered not far away, "Where?"
Lu Fei glanced at it from a distance and said, "The official notice states that the Emperor of Nanming will use blood-red, clear-textured porcelain to worship the gods during the New Year. The official kiln cannot bake it, so the notice is issued to encourage skilled craftsmen in the world. Whoever bakes it will be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver." "
Xiyue’s comment: “Stingy.”
"Three hundred taels is quite a lot. It can be used by ordinary people for ten years." Lu Fei rolled his eyes rudely, "But these officials have always been evil-minded. Three hundred taels is indeed too little to exchange for their black gauze hats." point."
Xiyue was surprised. Over the past few days, she had developed a concept of money, and she also knew how foolish she was to use silver ingots to buy candied haws.
However, she didn't expect silver to be so valuable.
Silently she calculated that two silver ingots would be enough for her to come out this time. For a moment, she felt that the burden on her back was a bit heavy.
After arriving at the inn and booking a room, Xiyue sat by the window on the second floor, waiting for the food to be served. She looked at the passers-by outside the window. Most of them were in a hurry and few stopped.
The streets not far away were lined with stalls, almost all selling porcelain.
The best porcelain is bought by merchants and sold to various countries. Those with defects will be taken to the street stalls by the owners and sold at low prices.
Among the middle-aged and elderly vendors, a pair of seventeen-year-old boy and girl caught her attention.
The girl was wearing a semi-shabby taupe cotton-padded jacket and kept rubbing her hands. The boy ran over from a distance and handed over a paper bag, which contained two pickled pig's trotters.
The girl took the paper bag and pushed it to the boy, as if she wanted him to eat it too. The boy puffed out his chest and said loudly in the cold wind, "I'm strong and I'm not hungry at all."
Xiyue frowned as she watched the two of them push each other, and then a pig's trotter rolled to the ground, covered in dust.
The young man picked it up, patted the soil on it, and compromised: "Okay, okay, can't I just eat this one?"
The girl stopped talking, raised her face and smiled, her eyes turning red as she smiled. She gnawed the pig's trotters desperately, tears falling down her cheeks.
"What are you looking at?" When Lu Fei came over, he saw her dragging her chin and looking down attentively, with some confusion between her brows and eyes.
Following her line of sight, she saw a pair of boys and girls sitting side by side, chewing pig trotters.
"Want to eat pig's trotters?"
Xiyue looked away, shook her head, and glared at him dissatisfied. In his heart, she knew how to eat it!
"Then what are you looking at?" Lu Fei put his head out and took a closer look, only to find that the girl had been crying and the boy's eyes were as red as rabbits.
The waiter at the shop next to him was clever and said hurriedly: "Those are the boy from the Wen family and the girl from the Kong family. Hey, they are also poor people.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts. The Wen family wanted to hire Kong Yatou for Wen Xiu, but her father was a generous man and had to pay a hundred taels of bride price from the Wen family before he would marry the girl.
However, the Wen family is not rich either. Recently, for some unknown reason, the porcelain produced by the family's porcelain kiln always has many small holes, is not in good quality, and cannot be sold at a high price.
No, this couple has become a fateful couple, unable to get married for a long time. "
marriage? Xiyue rolled her eyes.
Lu Fei said angrily: "Are you marrying your daughter or selling your daughter?"
"Isn't that right? Whoever marries a daughter is as open-minded as his family. Hey, this girl Kong Nian has been in trouble for eight lifetimes to have such a father."
Xiyue blinked her eyes and asked, "Get married and play?"
"Getting married is a great joy. Of course it's fun and lively."
As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, Xi Yue immediately stood up and ran downstairs.
"Ayue, where are you going?"
Lu Fei hurriedly followed him, wondering what kind of trouble this careless person was going to cause.
"Girl, you want to buy something, we are here..."
As soon as Wen Xiu opened his mouth, Xi Yue handed over two silver ingots, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "We won't use so much, our porcelain is all defective and worthless, and your one hundred taels is enough to buy my entire car. "
Xiyue looked serious: "Cai, etiquette."
Wen Xiu was stunned. Kong Nian, who had just stood up and was about to come over to greet her, was shocked, with a flash of fear in his eyes. Lu Fei, who was chasing behind him, staggered.
"Don't get me wrong, what she said is not what you understand." Lu Fei trotted forward, "She meant to give you a gift to hire this girl from the Kong family."
Xiyue nodded and said: "I, see, get married."
Lu Fei's mouth twitched and he conveyed her meaning: "She wants to see someone get married, so she will help you with the bride price."
The stall owners nearby stopped selling goods and gathered around curiously, looking at Xiyue like she was a fool. The waiter upstairs in the inn almost fell from the window. These days, there are still people who help with the betrothal gifts, just to watch. lively!
He was so regretful that his intestines were green. If he had known that this distinguished guest had such a weird hobby, he would not be able to get any gifts for his wedding with Rouge Shop Xiaohong!
Wen Xiu and Kong Nian were completely stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He knelt on the ground with joy and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you so much, thank you so much. Thank you so much, girl. She is really the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva. We will live a good life in the future and never forget Girl’s kindness…”
Xiyue was a little impatient and interrupted: "Hurry up."
Wen Xiu responded smartly: "Yes, yes, as soon as possible! Let's buy wedding clothes and jewelry now!"
After saying that, he took the silver ingot, picked up Kong Nian and ran to the tailor shop, not even paying attention to the cart loaded with porcelain.
