Seeing Concubine Shu worried about him, Xiao Chen felt a little warmer in his heart.
Originally, he thought that he only needed to ensure the safety of Concubine Shu, but as for his own strength, he was too lazy to explain to Concubine Shu.
But now, Xiao Chen held the worried beauty in his arms, exercised all his patience, spoke in a gentle voice, and earnestly reassured Concubine Shu, "Your Majesty, everything you said is right, but you only ignored one thing. ——This governor’s ability.”
"You have lived in the court for a long time, and you don't know much about the so-called masters in the world. It is inevitable that you will think a lot about these so-called masters who are seeking fame and reputation and boasting about themselves as gods."
"But in fact, in our Chu world, seventh-level masters are already at the top. Looking at the entire world, there are no more than ten people who can fight with Brother Xiang. And among these few people, who can How many can be used by Dali Temple and Jingnan Academy? How many can be used by Zhou Tianfu?"
"So to put it bluntly, those who secretly want to harm the governor are just some sixth-grade people. Brother Xiang can beat ten of them by himself."
Concubine Shu's eyes moved, and the worried look on her face finally eased a little, but after all, she was outnumbered and she could not help but feel worried, "What if the opponent has dozens of sixth-grade masters? Who should Xiang Yichun do? how to respond?"
Xiao Chen was amused by her, and a feeling of being missed filled his heart more and more strangely. This feeling was unprecedented. He couldn't help but hug the beauty in his arms tighter, "My good wife, you treat me as Are the Lin brothers brought here just for decoration?"
"They have not been idle in the past few days. They have been intensifying their martial arts training. Now all of them have broken through to the fifth level. So, we now have a seventh-level master who can compare with one to ten, and a sixth-level master who can compare with one to five. A master, a fifth-level strongman who can crack rocks with ten punches..."
"Even so, you still can't resist the recklessness that the other party may send?"
As Concubine Shu listened, the original worry on her face completely disappeared, and there was only a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Xiao Chen, are you so powerful?"
"Of course." Xiao Chen raised his chin, his face full of high spirits, like a sharp sword that was not unsheathed, but had the ability to cut iron as fast as clay at any time, "Do you know your man's abilities now? "
Concubine Shu's face turned red, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed again. She glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you are not from this palace... you are not?"
"Oh? If my wife's man is not my governor, then who can he be?" Xiao Chen came closer to Concubine Shu and looked at her blushing cheeks with a deliberately evil smile.
Concubine Shu pursed her pretty lips and looked at Xiao Chen angrily, but she didn't speak.
It's strange. According to common sense, Concubine Shu's only man is the emperor, but Xiao Chen can feel that he and Concubine Shu subconsciously did not count Chu Yanwu at all.
The carriage continued to move forward, and after playing around for a while, Xiao Chen rested his head on Concubine Shu's fragrant and beautiful legs a little tiredly, and fell asleep soon after.
Next, they were not in a hurry. When Xiao Chen woke up, the sun was about to set, so he leisurely opened the car curtain, looked around, and shouted to Xiang Yichun, "Brother Xiang, let's go to Taolinyi ahead. rest."
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
Xiang Yichun responded and sat steadily on the horse with a vigorous posture, reflected in the sunset.
A red shadow flashed across the forest at an extremely fast speed. It was unclear whether it was a falling flower or a red silk that someone had left behind.
Xiao Chen glanced thoughtfully, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a clever idea came to his mind.
"Looks like I can have some fun again tonight. It's a great relief."
Stretching out comfortably, Xiao Chen showed a mischievous boyish smile in his eyes and lay comfortably on Concubine Shu's lap again.
At night, the green mountains and green waters of Jiangdong are covered with stars, and the cicadas chirp like the songs of fairies. Inside and outside Taolinyi, everything is peaceful and quiet.
In the guest room where Xiao Chen and Concubine Shu were, several elegant carved windows were wide open. Xiao Chen was sitting on a rocking chair by the back window, holding a bamboo fan in his hand and fanning it constantly.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of strong wind in my ears, and accompanied by a unique cool fragrance, a man dressed in red rushed in.
"ah!"
Concubine Shu, who was sitting by the bed arranging her clothes, was startled.
Just as he was about to call someone, he saw Xiao Chen still sitting peacefully on the chair, making a "no need" gesture.
Ji Hongluan stood in front of Xiao Chen with two knives in hand, a look of awe and anger in her eyes, and straight to the point, "Bitch thief, I order you to hand over the Heart Sutra to me immediately, or I will kill you!"
"Tsk" Xiao Chen frowned slightly, as if he was looking at a fool. He stood up slowly and said leisurely, "I said, girl, these doors and windows are wide open. Are you afraid that others won't know?"
"In this age of my life, this is the first time I have seen someone with the door open and yelling about robbery."
While talking, Xiao Chen lazily closed the two windows next to him, and then sat back on the chair. He just raised the handle of the fan slightly to signal Ji Hongluan to do something.
Ji Hongluan looked at Xiao Chen coldly, the most disgusted with his shameless and arrogant look, "How dare you, a eunuch, manipulate this girl?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were already a little sleepy, and he yawned and said: "Oh, that's okay, then I will just shout it out so that everyone can hear it."
"You!" Ji Hongluan secretly clenched her fists, feeling that this eunuch was really hateful.
But then...
boom!
boom!
With two consecutive blows, Ji Hongluan flew out her two swords and obediently closed the two windows tightly.
Immediately, the red-tassel scimitar landed conveniently on Xiao Chen's chest, "Say!"
"Tsk" Xiao Chen was dissatisfied again and shook his head helplessly, "You little slave is so brave. I asked you to close the window and just take credit like that."
"Okay, since you are so beautiful, I will satisfy your request."
Xiao Chen was not afraid at all. He stretched out his hand and touched Ji Hongluan's head twice, "Good little stubborn dog, you did a great job. Master will reward you."
"You..." Ji Hongluan was stunned for a moment, and then she was filled with overwhelming anger. Unable to bear such shame and humiliation, she brandished her two swords and struck at Xiao Chen, "Thief, you deserve to die!"
This eunuch dared to use her like this. This was clearly trampling on her!
Today she not only wants to get the Heart Sutra, but she also must kill this thief!
"A master is like a father, my beauty, are you trying to kill your father?"
"You're such a rebellious girl, you're so unfilial!"
Xiao Chen shook his head and still sat firmly, facing Ji Hongluan's double swords without even blinking.
"Xiao Chen, be careful!"
When the tip of the knife was less than three inches away from Xiao Chen's chest, Concubine Shu immediately threw out the brocade bundle in her hand.
Hiss.
The baggage collided with the tip of the knife and was instantly torn apart.
Concubine Shu was startled, her eyes were cold and stern, and then she rushed forward to resist Ji Hongluan.
But at this moment, Ji Hongluan was seen swaying a few times and stumbling on his feet. He lasted less than two breaths before falling weakly to the ground.
Concubine Shu looked at Ji Hongluan in surprise, and then looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief, "My burden is so powerful?"
Xiao Chen smiled leisurely, stood up calmly, looked at Ji Hongluan who was lying on the ground with an angry and unconvinced face, and said with a bad smile: "Of course not."
"Instead, the Governor's secret medicine from Dongchang worked."
Lifting the beauty's chin with his slender fingers, Xiao Chen's smile also had a hint of danger, and there was also a wicked ridicule that could not be concealed, "You were the one who closed the window with your own hands and let yourself be infected by this poison."
"You said you are so stupid, why do you have to learn from others to be an assassin?"
"You! You... a thief!" Ji Hongluan struggled a few times, but was unable to stand up, and her body was getting hotter and hotter. "What on earth did you use on me?"
