Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!
Chapter 11: Learning
After a few consecutive autumn rains, the weather turned cold, and the colors of Li Li's autumn leaves gradually faded, showing a bit of depression in the early winter.
After reading this morning, Xiao Changning wore a light concubine-colored jacket skirt, with a homely round bun, a little green hairpin obliquely inserted, and a swaying tassel. Although he was married, his makeup still retained the clarity and elegance of a young girl. Not light, colorful but not vulgar.
At this moment, there was still ink scent remaining on her fingertips, and she was sitting lazily on the bench down the corridor, holding the pheasant feather in one hand and the chin in the other, playing with the cat with great interest.
The tortoiseshell cat stretched out its soft paw pads, pounced and played after the pheasant feathers, and soon became hungry, rubbing against Xiao Changning's calf and meowing.
"You greedy cat, you just ate food just now. Are you hungry?" Xiao Changning bent down to pick up the cat and said to the maidservant standing behind him, "Xia Lu, Amber is hungry, you can still eat in the house. Are there any drunken fish left?"
"Back to Your Highness, all the leftovers are thrown away." After thinking about it, Xia Lu watched Xiao Changning's look, and whispered, "However, the kitchen of the East Factory bought a few baskets of live fish this morning..."
Xiao Changning naturally understood the meaning of Xia Lu. Since she was married to the Dongchang factory, it was nothing to take a few fishes from Shenxuan, but she couldn't help her face, and she always felt a little bit responsive.
"Since the Queen Mother has returned to the palace, she is not short of money every month, so there is no need to ask for something from Shen Xuan. You should be aware that people's mouth is soft and people's hands are short." When Shen Xuan was mentioned, Xiao Changning would always agree. Consciously raised his brows.
Although she was taken care of by Shen Xu when she was assassinated two days ago, Xiao Changning's hatred for him has disappeared a bit, but he still doesn't like it. She could feel that Shen Xuan probably didn't like her "useless" people. She was bored with seeing each other for a second, so why bother to get involved in trivial matters?
And Shen Xuan rescued her. Even if it was just a rescue, she still felt as if she owed him something, contradictory.
Seeing that she had decided, Xia Lu lowered her head and said, "The servant girl understands. The servant girl will go to the street to buy."
Xiao Changning stroked the cat's back and called to her, "Wait, the rouge gouache style in this palace is too old. After you finish purchasing, go with Qiuhong into the palace and let the inner court present some new ones."
Xia Lu took the command, and Fu Yifu retired.
Xiao Changning scratched the cat's chin and said with a smile: "Be patient, there will be dried fish soon."
"Meow!" The autumn wind hit, but the tortoiseshell cat in his arms suddenly agitated, arched his back, and made a vague whine in his throat.
The cat owner has always been calm and relaxed. The last time I saw him so frightened, he still met Shen Xuan on the day of marriage...
...Shen, Shen Xuan? !
From the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar figure approaching, and Xiao Changning's heart tightened, he got up quickly, held the cat and turned and left.
"His Royal Highness Princess." A low voice sounded behind him, although his tone was light, but with the majesty that has been in the upper ranks for a long time.
Xiao Changning had to stop, holding the cat and slowly turning his head back.
The man at the door was tall and straight, with a terrifying temperament, as if he was a **** of war with a golden sword. He was about to come back early in the morning, wearing an apricot-white embroidered golden python robe, wearing a black turban official hat, foot soap boots, walking wind, long eyebrows and eagle eyes, heroic and prosperous. Isn’t he just the prestigious Admiral Shen? !
The tortoiseshell cat in his arms groaned uncomfortably. Xiao Changning was afraid that it would offend Shenxuan and cause death, so he bent down and placed the cat on the ground and let it escape into the rock cave in the rockery in the courtyard. Turning around, she showed an unnatural smile to Shen Xuan, and whispered in a low voice: "Admiral Shen is busy with official duties. How come you have time to come to the South Pavilion of the palace?"
With two wooden knives in one hand and one hand behind her, Shen Xuan lifted her chin towards Xiao Changning and said, "Come here."
Xiao Changning looked at him without moving.
Shen Xuan raised her long eyebrows, and then she understood something. She bowed slightly and clasped her fists. She softened her tone and said, "His Royal Highness, please come over, the minister has something to say."
It's a rare courtesy that has been comprehensive, which is enough to give her face.
Xiao Changning was satisfied, and slowly walked down the stone steps with his sleeves, standing in the courtyard, five steps away from Shen Xuan, keeping a little guard and saying: "What's the matter? Please say it."
Shen Xu didn't speak, but just two steps forward, handing a wooden sword to Xiao Changning.
Xiao Changning hugged the wooden sword subconsciously. The body of the sword was polished to be very smooth, with golden spikes. She wondered: "Avoid evil spirits for me?"
However, it did not look like a mahogany sword.
"Take the sword." Shen Xuan looked at her seriously, "I will teach you two tricks."
It took Xiao Changning a little bit of effort to understand what this "teach you two tricks" means. She was shocked and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Does this governor look like someone who has time to joke?" Shen Xuan held a sword flower in her hand and stood with her sword in her arms, her handsome and cold face, "His Royal Highness is too delicate, if you don't learn two ways to defend yourself , It’s not so easy to get out of danger again."
What? Xiao Changning couldn't understand Shen Xuan's thoughts!
Teach a princess who has been pampered since childhood to practice martial arts? Did you make a mistake?
"My palace doesn't study." Xiao Changning refused without thinking.
"Why don't you learn?"
"My palace's hands have always been used for painting and calligraphy to play the piano. Why do you need to dance your swords and swords like a reckless man? What's more, when you travel in this palace, you should be protected by attendants, which are enough to deal with crises."
Hearing this, Shen Xuan said lightly, "The last time I was assassinated, was there an attendant to protect Your Highness?"
Xiao Changning choked, then retorted, "It's not your implicated! The assassin was there for you, but my palace just happened to be unlucky and was sitting in the same car with you."
"Since your Royal Highness has married Dongchang, he is a member of the factory. The Assassins won't give you any closeness. Whoever wants to kill the governor, has never let you go?"
When she said this, Shen Xuan's eyes were as deep and indifferent as the October sky.
"This governor has seen too many seemingly loyal servants turning back on the spot, as well as those who have lurked for many years to assassinate their masters. I advise your Highness not to place all hopes on others, rely on the sky and the earth instead of relying on yourself."
Xiao Changning was speechless.
Shen Xuan talks very little on weekdays, but when she speaks, she will definitely hit the key point. She is very sharp and unpleasant like him.
Seeing Xiao Changning not speaking, Shen Xuan urged, "Pick up the sword and attack me."
Xiao Changning held the hilt with both hands, and the ears of the sword trembled lightly. She bit her lip and said, "My palace won't."
Shen Xuan said, "Just stab or chop, first look at your strength and agility."
This eunuch, Shen Xuan, actually used her as a subordinate to train!
Xiao Changning's heart was quite dissatisfied, and it was not easy to happen, especially because the suspect had saved her life... The grievances in her heart were hard to be resolved, and the whole was turned into the strength in his hands. Past.
Shen Xuan, you asked for this! This palace has been waiting for the widowhood for a long time!
However, Shen Xuan still stood upright with his sword, with one hand behind him, and he was at ease. Only when the wooden sword slammed into the face door, he slightly avoided it, and then shot the wooden sword in his hand, blocking it with a bang. A deadly blow.
Before Xiao Changning even had time to see how he did it, the wooden sword in his hand flew out, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground. The sword body cracked and broke into two pieces.
Xiao Changning clutched his numb wrist and tiger's mouth, shocked and painful, and stepped back and said, "You...you actually used all your strength to hit this palace!"
Shen Xuan retracted the sword and frowned, "This governor only used 30% of his strength. It is the princess who is too weak, lacks strength, sluggish body, and full of flaws."
Regarding martial arts, Shen Xuan was extremely strict. Although the evaluation did not contain any derogation, Xiao Changning was still blushing with shame, rubbing his wrists and said: "My palace is not a fan, so I don't practice anymore."
She turned around to leave, but Shen Yan grabbed her thin wrist and pulled her into her arms to imprison her.
This is an unprecedented intimacy gesture, strong and dangerous.
Xiao Changning's back was close to Shen Xuan's hard body, and the vigorous heat spread through the clothes, climbing all the way along the back, burning her face. She made a profit, and said with shame and anger: "What are you doing! Let go of this palace!"
"If the eldest princess is held in such a way," Shen Xuan was indifferent to her faint struggle, holding her wrist in one hand and twisting behind her, holding the wooden sword across her tender neck with the other hand, spraying warm breath. In her ears, she said deep and coldly, "How should we deal with it?"
Shen Xuan's tone was deep and serious, not as if she was deliberately offending.
Xiao Changning's heartbeat was like a drum, struggling with all his strength, but the strength was too great. Instead of being able to break away from the shackles of Shen Xuan, he was tightened even more.
She could even clearly feel his neat and powerful heartbeat.
"Wrong." Shen Xuan's voice steadily heard from the top of her head, "If the assassin is held in such a way, the eldest princess twists like this, it will only irritate the other party and will definitely die."
"It hurts! I won't play anymore!" Xiao Changning's ears were red, and his voice trembled, crying, "Shen Xu, let go!"
Her shoulders trembled slightly, like a frightened little bird.
Shen Xuan's gaze shifted down, and landed on Xiao Changning's clean, white neck: Two pieces of placket wrapped tightly around the fragile neck, soft and beautiful, as if frost and snow had condensed.
He unconsciously relaxed his strength, released the palm of Xiao Changning's wrist, held her fingertips instead, guided her to fumble upwards, and stopped at the mouth of his right hand holding her neck with a sword.
"If the eldest princess is held by someone with a sharp blade, you can cling to his right arm, first, you can separate the distance between the blade and your skin; second, the knuckles of people are the most vulnerable, and your Highness can start from here. "Speaking, Shen Xuan raised her, "hold my thumb with my right hand."
Xiao Changning tried to do the same, touching his slender knuckles with trembling fingertips, and pulling hard.
Kang Dang, Shen Xuan loosened the pain, and the wooden sword in her hand fell to the ground.
"Yes, that's the case." Shen Xuan's voice eased a lot, and she continued to point. "There is a tendon three inches below the ribs. A strong blow can make the half of her body numb and weak. Please bend the longest princess' left elbow. , Hitting my ribs three inches backwards."
Xiao Changning tried, but because his body was shackled and his strength made him inaccurate, he didn't hit the right place after several attempts.
In other words, Shen Xuan's body is too hard! Her elbow was numb, but he was like a okay person.
"Go down, to the left... it's still wrong." After a long time, Shen Xuan became a little impatient. "If the Governor is really an assassin, the princess will only have one chance to fight back and escape. If you miss a hit, you have already died."
Xiao Changning's face was flushed, with fine beads of sweat oozing out on his forehead, and said annoyed: "I can't see behind him, I can't find the position you mentioned!"
Hearing this, Shenxuan pondered for a moment behind her, Fang slowly raised her hand, her broad and hot palms covered her waist, and the knuckles were three inches below her crisp-chest, and she said, "Here."
After speaking, he reacted with hindsight to what he had done, and hurriedly withdrew that frivolous hand, as if her soft touch still remained in his palm, which was reverie.
The autumn breeze was cool, the leaves fell silent, and Xiao Changning's face was almost as hot as a pancake. Angry and angry, she elbows back, and slams three inches below Shen Xuan's rib with the greatest strength in her life.
Now the location is right.
Shen Xuan took a step back, snorted, and laughed: "It's time."
The author has something to say: Changning, who got up on the second day of learning art, had a sore waist and backache, staggering: dead eunuch!
After seeing all the fans, they were shocked and said: Are our factory supervisors so powerful!
