Night, silent.
In a quiet and mysterious old castle, there was a rush of footsteps, and then a beautiful figure appeared in the bright corridor light.
I saw her dressed in white, walking slowly. Under the light, her skin as white as snow was revealed. The long black hair was flying freely in the air, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars sparkled even more under the light of the lights. She was so beautiful, as if she didn't belong in this world.
If Xiao Yu'er is the pure white and independent holy lotus in the fairy world, then she is the most beautiful human peony.
"Grandpa, I'm here." The beautiful figure said respectfully outside the door.
"Come in." An old voice came from inside the house.
The beautiful figure gently opened the door and walked in slowly.
In front of him, a huge portrait hung high on the white stone wall. Under the portrait, a white-headed old man stood silently with his back to Wu Wuxia.
"Wuxia, you are seventeen this year, right?"
"Yes, Grandpa." Wu Wuxia replied.
"Alas! You have grown up before you know it." The old man turned around and sighed.
Wu Wuxia seemed to feel something and called out uneasily: "Grandpa, is it because Xia'er has grown up that makes grandpa unhappy?"
"Haha! It's all nonsense."
Immediately, a red page flew into Wu Wuxia's hand. Wu Wuxia took it and saw that it was a letter of appointment.
"The Li family in the imperial capital has a son who is twenty-two this year and has not yet been married. He has extraordinary literary talents and extraordinary strength. He is known as the "invincible little bully" in the army. He is a rare young hero in the wilderness in recent years." The old man said with a smile on his face. Obviously, the old man is still very satisfied with this marriage.
"Grandpa, I don't want to get married. I want to stay with grandpa all my life." Wu Wuxia stepped forward to hold hands and act coquettishly.
"Nonsense," the old man scolded.
Wu Wuxia was silent for a while and said, "Grandpa, I want to see him first."
The old man glanced at Wu Wuxia and said, "He is currently in the imperial capital. Ask Zilong to accompany you tomorrow."
Outside the castle, the wind picked up.
...
"Is this my fiancé?" Wu Wuxia slowly unfolded a scroll. The young man on the scroll is handsome, riding a war horse, holding a sword, and there is a hint of domineering in his eyebrows.
"Miss, his name is Li Yilong. He is the son of the current head of the Li family in the imperial capital. He is said to have the qualifications to be a general. He is known as the most outstanding disciple of the Li family in the past century. He is also one of the most outstanding young talents in the military in recent years." Next to him. Wu Zilong reported respectfully.
After the two came to the imperial capital several days ago, Wu Zilong went to collect all information about Li Yilong and report it to the young master in front of him.
When he heard that Lin Shuai also praised Li Yilong, Wu Wuxia's beautiful face now had a hint of joy.
Wu Wuxia looked at the scroll and asked, "How do you feel his strength compares to yours?"
Wu Zilong pondered for a moment and said: "Although I only took a quick look at him from a distance, he gave me a very strong impression that he is a master. He is a top-notch expert among the younger generation. I am not sure of victory."
Wu Wuxia was surprised. Although the person in front of him was his attendant, he had been taught by his grandfather since he was a child and had learned the true heritage of the Wu family. Not many people can get praise from him.
Wu Zilong next to him hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Wu Wuxia said, "Between you and me, just tell us what you have to say."
"It is said that Li Yilong also has a younger brother who was deprived of martial arts not long ago and is still lying in bed. It is said that he was killed by a gangster who sneaked into the Imperial Military Academy to commit murder. There are also rumors that he met an alumnus during that murder. Caused by killing." Wu Zilong said softly.
"Imperial Military Academy?" Wu Wuxia's eyes lit up.
Wu Wuxia had heard about this most famous university in the wilderness and had longed for it.
"Miss, do you need to arrange time to see him?" Wu Zilong asked.
"Don't be in a hurry, the best gifts are often the ones left until the last moment to unwrap them."
Wu Wuxia pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Zilong, the two of us will go to the Imperial Military Academy in a few days to have fun. You go and make arrangements."
"Yes, miss!" Wu Zilong turned and left.
Wu Wuxia put away the scroll, walked to the window, and looked out at the yard outside the window. There are green bamboos all over the yard. A breeze blows and the bamboo leaves sway gently, which makes people feel peaceful.
The people standing in front of the window are naturally in a good mood.
...
The pavilions and towers are beautiful, both ancient and modern, with luxuriant grass and beautiful lakes.
Wu Wuxia and Wu Zilong leisurely visited the Imperial Military Academy, and couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.
"This is the place where that person once studied." Wu Wuxia happily said to Wu Zilong.
"Yeah. I heard that the Imperial Military Academy will hold its annual school competition in a few days."
"Oh, it seems we are lucky. We are also lucky enough to see the students of the Imperial Military Academy." He said with interest in his eyes.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure quietly appeared in Wu Wuxia's eyes.
She was seen holding a book in her arms and walking quietly along the campus paths. She looked so calm and composed that Wu Wuxia couldn't help but look at her carefully.
As if sensing something, Xiao Yu'er turned around and stared in surprise at the extremely beautiful woman opposite.
Neither of the two people said anything while looking at each other, but their gazes did not flinch at all, as if they were destined rivals.
Wu Zilong next to him looked at Xiao Yu'er and then at Wu Wuxia. He suddenly felt that the atmosphere became a little strange, but he couldn't explain it.
But Wu Zilong was an attendant after all, so he asked Wu Wuxia, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Wu Wuxia turned around and whispered: "It's nothing."
At the same time, the little fish opposite also looked away and continued walking.
Wu Wuxia, who was later hailed as the "Flower of the Empire", a famous woman in the history of the Great Wilderness, met for the first time in the quiet campus lanes of the Imperial Military Academy the girl she regarded as her lifelong enemy.
The next moment, Wu Wuxia suddenly said: "Zilong, I'm tired. Let's go back!"
"Ah?" Wu Zilong was surprised. After all, the two of them had just walked into the Imperial Military Academy. Not even half of them, not even a tenth, were seen.
"Yes, miss." Wu Zilong reacted quickly and responded. As long as it is his lady's request, no matter how unreasonable, he is always willing to do it. This is also a habit he has developed since childhood.
"I don't like this Imperial Military Academy." Wu Wuxia muttered to himself in the wind.
"Well, then we won't come here anymore."
"Is it because of the female military student just now?" Wu Zilong asked carefully. The girl just now is indeed very beautiful. She is the only person who has the appearance of the young lady in these years, but the young lady is by no means the kind of person who hates seeing other people's beauty.
"I don't know. Anyway, I suddenly didn't like it." Wu Wuxia said with an unhappy look.
"Zilong, go make arrangements. We will go back to Fengcheng tomorrow." Wu Wuxia suddenly turned around and said.
"Yes, miss, are we not going to watch the Imperial Military Academy's competition?" Wu Zilong asked cautiously.
"I won't watch anymore. It's just a formality, and there's nothing interesting to see after thinking about it." Wu Wuxia walked out of the Imperial Military Academy without looking back.
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea.
