"Thing~~~" When the long sword was still about three feet away from Xia Chengyi, a healthy old man jumped up from the next table and brushed it off with his hand. The sword fell to the ground and hit the wooden floor, making a "clang" sound. Xia Chengyi was originally immersed in thoughts, but at this moment he was startled by the sharp sound and screamed "Ah". The other old man at the next table instantly left his seat to protect her.
The two people who took action were Hundun and Zhu Jian, who were among the top ten guards of Jaw Palace. Seeing that his sister was depressed all day long, Xia Chengxuan couldn't bear it, so he took her out in the afternoon when he went to Rui Mansion. After coming out of the house, Xia Chengyi insisted on going for a walk by herself, but Xia Chengxuan couldn't resist and had to agree. Worried that she would be in danger, he sent these two guards to accompany her. It was Zhu Jian who shot down Ayixi's sword.
"Master!" The diners at the next few tables had been attracted by the fight between the fat-faced man and Cuo Ayixi. Now they saw Zhu Qian jump behind Xia Chengyi from a foot away and knock off the flying knife. The long sword, everyone couldn't help but praise in their hearts.
Zhu Jian's face turned cold after hearing Xia Chengyi's scream, and he rushed in front of the fat-faced man and Cuo Ayixi with a "swish" sound, and attacked them. Seeing that his expression was wrong, Ran Hui was worried that he had hurt Cuo Ayixi, so he quickly took action and protected Cuo Ayixi behind him. Zhu Jian fought one against two, without losing any chance. After sixty or seventy moves, the fat-faced man gradually became exhausted and was kicked away by Zhu Jian. His two companions hurriedly protected him behind them, "Junior brother Chen, how are you?" the gray-browed middle-aged man asked with concern.
"I'm fine, he didn't use gravity." Chen Daqi replied with a smile.
On the other side, Ran Hui faced off against Zhu Jian, but he soon fell behind and was hit on the shoulder by Zhu Jian. Ran Hui hurriedly took four or five steps back to stop his fall. Obviously, Zhu Jianshi's kick was much harder than the one he just kicked the fat-faced man.
"Wait a minute!" Ran Hui stretched out his hand to stop: "Brother, our disciples disturbed your lord just now. It was our fault. I am protecting Zhongshan Ran Hui. I would like to apologize to your lord and hope that this matter will be settled. How? ?" He deliberately said this after receiving a slap. In fact, he intended to resist the punishment with his own body, hoping that the other party would see this and his anger would subside. After all, it was true that A Yixi's sword was mistaken just now and almost stabbed him.
Before Zhu Jian could answer, Xia Chengyi said to him: "Master Zhu Jian, forget it, let's go back!" As he said this, he walked out of his seat. The three gray-browed middle-aged people and the people on Zhongshan Mountain all stepped aside to make way, and nodded slightly. This is a ritual to express gratitude in the world of martial arts. Everyone could see that this young girl's status was definitely extraordinary and they had no intention of making a grudge against her.
It was already dark when they came down from the restaurant. The three of them got on their horses, but instead of going straight back to Prince Jia's Mansion, they drove their horses all the way to Rui Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Princess Chengyi hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid that if you miss the time to go back, you will be scolded again." Rui Xiaoling said to Xia Chengxuan with a smile. The marriage of the two has been decided and they are an unmarried couple. Rui Xiaoling felt much better after being with him for the past half day.
Xia Chengxuan had a look of anxiety on his face and replied: "What does it matter if I get scolded by my mother? As long as she comes back safely and happily!"
Seeing the forced smile on his face, Rui Xiaoling felt even more happy in her heart. She chuckled and said, "Chengxuan, Princess Chengyi is truly a rare blessing to have a brother like you!" She is the eldest daughter in the family. I had never had such an experience before, and for a moment I couldn't help but feel envious.
Xia Chengxuan was startled and said with a smile: "You have to tell Yiyi about this! She has been bullying me so much, I'm afraid she doesn't think so at all?" Then he said softly to Rui Xiaoling: "Xiao Ling, You and I have made an engagement, and you will be my wife soon. I will naturally love you, cherish you, love you, and will not let you be wronged at all. I hope you can be happy every day!"
At that time, Xia Chengxuan was the only one of the royal grandsons of the right age who was unmarried. Now that the in-laws have been decided, all they have to do is wait for Xia Mu to finish all the Anxian affairs and return to the capital to conduct the wedding ceremony. In recent months, Xia Chengxuan has been visiting Rui Mansion every few days and stayed there for most of the day. Rui Xiaoling had been getting along with him for a long time, and the two had already developed feelings for each other. When she heard his warm promise, her pretty face turned red and she didn't dare to look at him. She buried her head deeply and nodded lightly, saying "Yeah". Her grandfather and second uncle were killed one after another, and she felt really sad. However, Prince Jia's palace unexpectedly proposed this marriage proposal, and Xia Chengxuan was also gentle and considerate to her, which gave her some comfort.
"Your Majesty, the princess has just entered the palace and will be here soon." A royal guard came over to report.
Xia Chengxuan couldn't help but relax after hearing this. Seeing this, Rui Xiaoling laughed and said, "Fortunately, Yiyi has not forgotten the time. Aren't you worried now? When you go back, the princess won't scold you."
While the two were talking, they saw Xia Chengyi, Zhu Jian, and Hundun walking over.
"Yiyi, why are you coming back so late? We're going back too late, mother will be worried." Xia Chengxuan said with a frown.
"I know." Xia Chengyi responded softly, not wanting to say more. Zhu Jian on the side intervened: "Your Majesty, I just encountered some Jianghu people who caused trouble, and I was delayed for a while."
When Xia Chengxuan heard this, he hurriedly grabbed his sister's sleeves, looked around, and asked, "Yiyi, are you okay?"
"With two masters here, how could anything happen to me?" Xia Chengyi replied with a chuckle.
"Your Majesty, Princess, people from all walks of life are gathering in the capital. Some are summoned, some are taking the opportunity to seek revenge, and everyone is there! I advise the two young masters to avoid running outside. Today, Ran Hui, who is protecting Zhongshan Mountain, , the martial arts are very good, if they attack together today, even the two subordinates are not sure that they can protect the princess!" Zhu Qian said seriously. His duty is to protect King Jaw's family. He has a high status in the palace and has always dared to give direct advice.
"People who protect Zhongshan? Are they rebelling?" Xia Chengxuan heard that they actually took action against Prince Jia's Mansion, and his anger increased sharply, and he said coldly.
Zhu Jian saw that he had misunderstood, so he told the whole story. Xia Chengxuan's face softened after hearing this, and he called Xia Chengyi in a warm voice: "Yiyi, this is a troubled time, so let's stay out less!"
Although Xia Chengyi was unruly, he was not unruly. At this time, he naturally noticed that the capital was different from the past. He nodded and said: "Well, let's go back! I haven't come out recently." Zhu Jian and Hundun listened. He looked happy and said with a smile: "That's it."
"Xiao Ling, we're going back. It's already late, so I won't ask General Rui to resign. I'd like you to convey the message on my behalf." Xia Chengxuan didn't dare to be too intimate with her when others were around.
Xia Chengyi walked up to Rui Xiaoling, held her hand, and laughed softly: "Sister-in-law, we won't be here these days. Just be happy!" Before he could finish speaking, Rui Xiaoling's face turned red with embarrassment. I don't know how to refute.
"Haha, Yiyi, let's go!" Xia Chengxuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Rui Xiaoling's embarrassment, and pulled Xia Chengyi away.
Although the brothers and sisters are both direct children of the Xia Mu Dynasty, Xia Chengxuan's status is much respected and he has a specially provided sedan chair. Xia Chengyi had been riding for half a day and was already tired. After leaving Rui Mansion, he got into Xia Chengxuan's sedan without any ceremony.
"Yiyi, let's go back. Brother will give you a good gift!" Xia Chengxuan sat in the sedan chair and smiled at his sister. He really felt that the scene just now was really funny and fun, and he had to thank his sister properly.
Xia Chengyi smiled half-heartedly and replied: "Miss Rui will be my sister-in-law, and I am very happy to do so. I want you to please me!"
"Yes, yes!" Xia Chengxuan was happy in his heart and did not argue with her. "You've been out for half a day. Are you feeling better?" Seeing her rare smile, Xia Chengxuan asked again. He hadn't seen Mei Yuanchen smile since she left the capital. She was dull and depressed all day long and couldn't bring herself to have any energy. Seeing this, he felt distressed and anxious in his heart. Although Xia Chengxuan often gets the most anger when the two of them are together, he loves his sister from the bottom of his heart and cannot bear to see her sad.
"Well, it's much better if I go out for a walk. From now on, I'll just stay at home and won't cause you any trouble." Xia Chengyi exhaled heavily and replied with a smile.
Xia Chengxuan saw that she seemed to be in a much better mood, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He made a face to his sister and said, "It's good to know! If my mother knows that I let you go out to play for so long, she will give me a good scolding." Woolen cloth."
"Humph!" After Xia Chengyi answered, he ignored him and rested against the carriage. After walking outside for most of the day without eating anything, she was really hungry, tired and sleepy at this moment.
"Deng Deng! Deng Deng!" The carriage became quiet for a while, and only the sound of horse hooves on the ground could be heard.
"Hey~~~!" After less than half an hour, the sedan chair gradually stopped. "Your Majesty, Princess! You have returned home!" Zhu Jian reported outside the carriage.
Xia Chengxuan fell asleep in a daze, and woke up when he heard the announcement, "Oh, we're here?" He reached out to pat Xia Chengyi and called, "Yiyi, you're back home!"
Xia Chengyi slept very deeply and woke up after a while. Seeing that she was drowsy, Xia Chengxuan held her arms and helped her slowly get out of the sedan chair.
Today is a bit surprising. It is Chu Zhong who is waiting outside the house.
"Oh, the two young masters are finally back! Mr. Yuanchen has been waiting for you for a long time!" Seeing Xia Chengxuan and the others getting off the sedan chair, Chu Zhong hurriedly greeted them and said with a smile.
Both of them woke up from their dreams, their minds were not clear and they did not react. Seeing that they were not happy at all, Chu Zhong was not surprised and said, "Master, Princess, I said Master Yuanchen is back, why are you not happy at all?"
He spoke clearly and slowly, and Xia Chengxuan finally understood. His face showed a look of ecstasy, and he shouted to Xia Chengyi: "Yiyi, Yiyi! Wake up, did you hear it? Yuanchen is back!"
"Brother, what?" Xia Chengyi finally regained consciousness and asked, rubbing his eyes.
Xia Chengxuan smiled and said: "The person you miss so much is back!" Chu Zhong on the side also reported in time: "Princess, Young Master Yuanchen came back at three o'clock in the morning, and has been waiting for you for two hours. He"
Before he finished speaking, Xia Chengyi ran in quickly, like a hare running for his life.
