Feng Xiaoyue's statement was also a sign of respect for the little girl.
After lunch, everyone took a brief rest and then got back on the road.
Judging from the distance, it is determined that we will not be able to return to Hetou Village tonight.
Chen Xiaobei had to think in advance about where to stay tonight.
At this time, Princess Zhaoning had already arrived at Centipede Ridge with her men like lightning.
Centipede Ridge has long been deserted, and with the arrival of winter, it looks a bit dilapidated. Fortunately, Princess Zhaoning has stayed on this mountain before, and the roads are relatively familiar.
After entering the cottage, Princess Zhaoning first went to the former Juyi Hall and several other large tents to look at them. They were relatively complete, so there would be no problem in making do with them for at least two nights.
As night falls, the bonfire is lit and everyone prepares to eat.
At this moment, a melodious flute sound suddenly came. Princess Zhaoning couldn't help being shocked when she heard the sound of the flute.
She stood up immediately and said, "This is my master's favorite song."
After listening for a while, Princess Zhaoning hurried to the entrance of the village to greet her, shouting as she ran, "Master, is this you? Master, are you here?"
The laughter of the Lotus Leader came from the darkness, "You have a good memory, but you still remember that Master loves to play this tune."
When the master and apprentice met, Princess Zhaoning lifted up her clothes and wanted to bow to her, but was stopped by the leader of the Lotus Sect, "Okay, you are a princess, so you don't need to do this grand ceremony in front of your subordinates."
"Master, how did you find this place? This disciple is really excited." Princess Zhaoning looked very excited.
"Princess, I met Chen Xiaobei. He told me that you were here, so I rushed over." After finishing speaking, the Lotus Cult Master shrugged his nose.
"I happen to be hungry."
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhaoning hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Master, please come in quickly and have dinner with me."
The Lotus Master sat there with a carefree attitude, and Princess Zhaoning hurriedly took a piece of barbecue and sent it to her master.
Smelling the fragrant barbecue, the Lotus Master smiled and said, "I can't eat your food for free. I came here with a gift."
"Several of your senior sisters are outside the mountain stronghold. Please send someone to bring them in."
Soon, a dozen more people came in. When Princess Zhaoning saw it, she quickly ordered people to continue cooking. Now the dinner she prepared was not enough.
The leader of the Lotus Cult whistled, and then Jasmine came over with a few people and escorted the two spies.
Princess Zhaoning was very surprised when she saw two men tied up and came over, "Master, what do these two do?"
"They are spies from a neighboring country. I caught them on the way. They just happened to drop by to give them to you."
"I have also interrogated you clearly along the way. They were ordered to go to Wannian City to find their accomplices, and then provoked civil strife. The border was going to take the opportunity to attack Jizhou."
"By the way, it's the man named Zhu Meng who is the mastermind behind the attack on Jizhou."
After listening to the words of the Lotus Cult Master, Princess Zhaoning took a step forward, raised her hand and pulled out the sword she carried with her, and put it on the neck of one of them.
"Is what my master said right?"
The man nodded, "That's right, that's right."
Princess Zhaoning smiled slightly, suddenly. The long sword flicked and stabbed directly into the chest of the other person.
The man fell down without saying a word.
The Lotus Leader nodded approvingly, "Yes, to be a teacher, it is enough for one person to tell the truth. Keeping two is a burden."
The person who just spoke was so frightened that he trembled, and he was probably feeling lucky that he was the one who asked the question just now.
But after beheading the person, Princess Zhaoning frowned, but she didn't want to go back.
Then who will take this man back?
Suddenly, his eyes turned to look at the two guards in the corner, who were sent by his elder brother to protect him.
Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoning came to the two of them and said, "You both heard what my master just said."
The two men nodded hurriedly, "Your Highness, we all heard it."
"Well, I'll hand the person over to you, and you'll be responsible for sending the person back to the capital, and telling my elder brother the news by the way."
The two people looked at it and had no choice but to agree. After all, this was arranged by the princess, so how could they dare to disobey.
Tonight, Princess Zhaoning gave the best room to her master and personally brought her hot water.
"Master, please wash your feet. You are tired after running all day."
The Lotus Master nodded, reached for the basin and put it on the ground. He began to take off his shoes and asked Princess Zhaoning while soaking her feet.
"How long do you plan to stay here?"
Princess Zhaoning sighed, "Master, I don't want to go back."
"My father wants me to go to the Great Earth Kingdom to get married, but I don't want to."
"I will stay here in Centipede Ridge, chant sutras and worship Buddha every day, and I will not go to the Great Earth Kingdom."
After listening to her words, the Lotus Master let out a long sigh and said, "To be disrespectful, your father is really an old fool."
Princess Zhaoning also sighed, "Yes, the front leg is still at war with the Great Earth Kingdom, and the back leg wants to send me away, alas."
The Lotus Leader looked at Princess Zhaoning, suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Princess, have you ever thought about not going to the Great Earth Kingdom? What will you do in the future? Who will you marry?"
As soon as this question was asked, Princess Zhaoning's face suddenly turned red, and she shook her head in embarrassment.
"I don't want to get married. I practice martial arts every day and go hunting in the back mountains. Wouldn't it be a happy life?"
After hearing this question, Master Lotus' face straightened, "That's not okay. Women have to get married sooner or later. Besides, you are still a princess of a country, how can you live alone for the rest of your life."
After hearing this, Princess Zhaoning said, "Master, you are not married yet, so why should I be worried?"
After saying this, the Lotus Cult Leader suddenly became gloomy.
"It's not that I don't want to get married, but the person I want to marry has disappeared. I don't know whether he is dead or alive."
Upon hearing the words of Master Lotus, Princess Zhaoning instantly became interested in gossip, came forward and said with a smile, "Master, please tell me which hero is so lucky that you want to marry him. ah."
"Do you still remember Qin Fang, the Qinglong Sword I told you?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhaoning understood instantly and nodded repeatedly, "I remember that Master said that there are few people in the world who are better in martial arts than you, Qin Fang is the only one."
Master Cotton rolled his eyes at her, "I said someone with higher martial arts than my master. Did you remember it wrong?"
Princess Zhaoning chuckled and said, "It is said that the master is better than the master. I think the master's kung fu can be as good as that of the master."
"Okay, don't talk to me about this, you can go out." The Lotus Cult Master waved his hand.
Princess Zhaoning had no choice but to stand up, turn around and walk out. She had just taken two steps when she heard Master Lotus say from behind, "Remember what I said, find someone you like to marry quickly, otherwise it will be a matter of time before we get married." .”
