The governor's wife, who was thinking about it, didn't know that at the moment, Xiaya was sullenly angry in the room.
That's right, Xia Ya was indeed angry, and she was still angry with the governor's wife.
The reason for his anger is nothing else, it is the matter of the two maids who were sent to "warm the bed" for him before - the governor's wife of the Besta Military Region is too stingy. Two nice guys here! Hmph, throwing these two ugly bastards over here, do you think Lao Tzu is very good at making big hair? !
Xia Ya was very upset.
"Oh, so, if it's two beauties, do you really accept it with a smile?"
"Of course not!" Xia Ya replied without hesitation: "I only have Adeline in my heart now, and I won't take a second look at other women... Huh?! Dora?!"
Xia Ya said casually, then suddenly shouted and jumped up from the bed, then he hugged his head and whispered in surprise: "Dora? Dora, is it your voice?! Damn it! So many days There is no movement from you guy, I thought you... thought you... "
"Think I'm dead?" Dora's voice fell in Xia Ya's mind, the words were still as clear as before, and, in Xia Ya's sense, it seemed that the tone of the female dragon seemed to be more faint than before. A little bit of unclear content.
"You... You've already died, how could you die a second time." Xia snorted, "However, since Merlin made me get that damn 'Blood Rage', and then made me into a After being disabled, you will no longer have a voice, and I thought it might be Merlin's spell that made you disappear."
Dora was silent for a while, and Xiaya seemed to hear a soft sigh in her mind. The sigh seemed a little guilty, but then Dora's voice returned to normal: "Okay, Xiaya, I It's always been there, but before... Well, for some reason, I can't communicate with you. By the way, your body is terrible now! I'm afraid your physical strength is not comparable to that of an ordinary person."
"I don't understand." Xia Ya frowned: "My body has become very weak, but you know, I was not like this before, even if I hadn't smeared your blood before, my body is still very strong, more What's more, after the dragon's blood came into play, I should have become invulnerable, but now..."
Dora was silent for a while, and then suddenly changed the subject: "What about now? You seem to be in a bad situation now, that... Aslan..."
"Don't mention that old bastard to me." Xia gnashed his teeth: "This old bastard has probably gone to find Aunt Sofia by himself now, but I actually sympathized with him before, and I was soft-hearted and told him the address... Heck. "
"...Xia Ya, be careful with that woman."
Dora suddenly came out with such a sentence, which made Xiaya a little surprised: "What?"
"Be careful of that woman." Dora's voice seemed a little hesitant: "I... feel some bad breath from her, um, it's a very dangerous feeling!"
Danger…
Char Ya did not object. Because he also felt that the Governor's wife had brought too much pressure on him - such an opponent who is smart enough to see through all your thoughts at a glance is of course dangerous.
"I didn't mean that, I mean, I sensed an aura from her... Well, anyway, you should be more careful yourself. I heard your conversation, at least now she shouldn't hurt you."

A quill pen was gently put down, and a drop of thick ink remaining on the tip of the pen was immediately printed on the snow-white paper, leaving a drop of black ink.
The Governor's wife stretched slightly—with her beauty, there was no doubt that she was full of seductive charm when she did this.
The delicate little hand gently rubbed his forehead, and after the slender fingers circled back and forth between the eyebrows, the Governor's wife let out a long breath.
In the room, there was a person standing in front of her desk, but even with such an alluring gesture just now, this person didn't even look loose at all, and the whole person stood there quietly, as calm as water.
This man looks about thirty years old, thin and slender, with strong arms, a white rhino leather upper body, a golden armband on each pair of arms, and a black long arm behind him. Bow, dagger with leather straps on the outside of the thighs - this is clearly the attire of a standard archer.
But ordinary archers are naturally not qualified to stand in the study of the practical person in the Besta Military Region, and the rhino leather armor on his body has a delicate pattern on it, with a strange Light, this is obviously the effect of blessing magic - ordinary archers can never afford such a precious piece of magic blessing equipment.
This man's appearance is very handsome, but he is too serious, which makes him look rigid and cold, and his gray hair also makes him look a little old. The hair is simply tied behind his head, and a black With it, a small iron bell was tied.
Standing in this room, the stunningly beautiful Governor's wife who is close at hand, the amazing charm exuded by her gestures, does not seem to cause any fluctuations in this person's emotions, and his eyes are still looking at him coldly. The paper on the table full of writing.
"I need to get an answer as soon as possible to find out two things." The Governor's wife tapped on the table lightly and said slowly, "First, why did this Mr. Xia Leiming come to us quietly. I don't believe that he made a special trip to visit me, after all, the two of us didn't have any contact before."
The governor's wife's tone was also cold and clear: "The second thing, the information we got, Manninger seems to have sent troops to attack them, and the leader of the troops is Manninger's son Morka. Erka is not a waste, but I heard that the Odins suffered a lot... This matter, you go to find out what is going on! I want to know all the details! The troops they dispatched, led the troops Who is the person, what method, what tactics, and where did he defeat the Odins! I need to know all the details, the more detailed the better! I need to master as much as possible before the showdown with Char. More about him! Do you understand?"
The man's eyelids drooped: "Yes, ma'am, these answers will appear on your desk in the shortest possible time."
The Governor's wife looked at the person in front of her, her bright eyes shrouded this person, but this person still seemed to be in a trance and was indifferent.
"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind? Or, did you have any thoughts that you didn't tell me?" The Governor's wife raised the corner of her mouth slightly and smiled.
The man still didn't speak.
"… Ugh!"
The Governor's wife sighed, "Well, I know what you're thinking, actually..."
"I just want to compete with him." The man said coldly: "I heard that he wounded Hastings on the battlefield. I really want to try his strength... And, I don't like this guy! "
"So today, when he was trying to get close to me, you fired that arrow."
The Governor's wife's face suddenly turned cold! At the same time became cold, and her eyes. The eyes that were bright and moving just a moment ago have now become dense and full of coldness!
"Rufis! I'm sure you know, I don't like anything unplanned! Or anything that doesn't happen according to my wishes! I hate accidents, and I hate people around me making their own decisions. In that village today , the arrow you fired made me very dissatisfied, and I think you should know this."
"I just want to protect you, ma'am." The man's tone was blank.
"I don't need protection." The Governor's wife sneered: "You know this better than anyone else! I will only think that your arrow is a temptation for you to make up your own mind! Right? Ruffis, you have seen me sort it out. The information, no, many of them were even collected for me, so you recognized this person as Xia Leiming! You know that he played against Hastings, so you lost your cool and lost your mind, You can't wait to try his strength - you always do, anything involving the name 'Hasting' will make you lose your mind, and even your supposedly bright mind will change in an instant. utterly stupid."
The man remained silent, but his fists were clenched quietly.
"There is no next time, and I don't want to have another next time." The Governor's wife said lightly, looking over the other's clenched fists: "You should also understand the purpose of me asking you to do these two things now... I need I know the answer, but I can send anyone! I'm sending you, I just want you to stay away from my guest while he's here and stop doing stupid things on your own, understand? Don't bother him, let alone any so-called temptation. That's right, I'm using this method to get you out of the way, Rufis, I've made it very clear what I mean, if you do it again What if..."
"As ordered."
After the indifferent answer, the man finally raised his eyelids, glanced lukewarmly at the Governor's wife, and then turned to leave.
Looking at the back of the departure, a hint of helplessness appeared on the beautiful face of the Governor's wife, and she sighed softly.
※※※
Amy Xia took a nap for a while, and when she woke up at noon, she finally felt that the exhaustion of running around all night had been swept away.
Immediately afterwards, the two "bed warmer" maids appeared again, but this time, they just waited on Xia Ya to get up, change clothes and freshen up.
The governor's wife is indeed a very hospitable host. Just when Char is resting, she has sent someone to prepare several sets of clothes of completely different styles for Char to choose - the size of the clothes completely matches Char's figure! Even the shoes fit so well!
(There must be this woman's spy among the tailors in Lao Tzu's county governor's office.) Xi Ya thought to himself.
Then Xiaya was taken to a restaurant in the garrison.
The Governor's wife was already sitting at the dining table radiantly waiting.
This was a sumptuous lunch, and what surprised Xi was that most of the dishes were what he usually liked, and the salty and bland tastes were even in line with his liking.
(Okay, it seems that Lao Tzu's chef also has an inner ghost...) Char muttered in secret.
It must be admitted that the Governor's wife is not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable. During a lunch, it is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing to chat with the beautiful woman beside her while enjoying the delicious food. Especially when she was not talking about those troublesome business affairs, the governor's wife's conversation was lively and interesting, and even Xia Ya couldn't help but unknowingly, her inner vigilance gradually relaxed.
After this sumptuous lunch was over, the Governor's wife wiped her seductive mouth with a napkin in a graceful manner, and then smiled lightly: "Okay, Your Excellency Marshal Xia Ya, I wonder if you are free in the afternoon? If possible, I would like to invite you to go hunting outside the city."
"Hunting?" Xia was a little surprised, he laughed: "Before eating, I thought you would have a negotiation with me here."
The Governor's wife smiled softly and movingly: "First, I never like to talk about official business during meals, it will affect my appetite. Second... Mr. Char, you were born in the famous Rodriguez cavalry, and you want to come to riding. Of course, it is very good, and a small horse hunting should not be difficult for you? Besides, you were recognized by the late Emperor Cantos at a horse hunting conference, and you became famous because of this. So, is it Can you show me your heroic appearance on horseback?"
I have to say, this woman's words are really nice, Xia Ya thought about it and didn't refuse.
The two enjoyed some after-dinner refreshments, and sat there chatting for a while - this woman's knowledge really surprised Xi Ya, whether it is talking about astronomy and geography, or art philosophy, or even the strategy of war, she can Straightforward and straightforward.
The most important thing is that she is so knowledgeable, but it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable at all—for example, a vulgar guy like Char. Of course, we are not saying that our native turtle is illiterate - in fact, it is not too much. After all, under the education of an irresponsible old guy, Xiaya's education level is only able to speak and write. As for other Knowledge is limited to reading those broken books and some ancient notes left by the old guy. To say that Xia Ya is illiterate is a bit too much, but if you say that he is "semi-literate", I am afraid that even Xia Ya himself can't object.
Generally speaking, people like Char will always have some inner discomfort and discomfort when talking with a learned and talented person. But the governor's wife will not let this happen at all. She always guides the topic in the most correct direction in a calm manner, and then deliberately induces Xi Ya to express a point of view appropriately, so as not to cold field. She even took the initiative to talk to Char about the knowledge of hunting - what surprised Char was that he was an excellent hunter, but apparently the governor's wife seemed to know no less than herself in terms of hunting. ! Many tricks are only mastered by old hunters, and this distinguished governor's wife actually knows all of them like the back of the hand.
In fact, Xiaya's patience is not very good. There were times when he couldn't help but want to turn the topic to business - after all, he didn't want to spend too much time here, but the governor's wife said something. , The chatter is full of interest, but he refuses to turn the subject to serious business.
But every time when Xiaya's patience was running out, Dora's reminder came from her heart.
Dora reminded Xiaya to keep calm!
"If the other person doesn't speak first, you must never speak first! You just have to remember that."
This is Dora's words.
Therefore, after the two chatted for a long time, they almost re-studied the knowledge of hunting, and then a servant came in to report that the horses and equipment for the riding and hunting activities were ready, and the guards had assembled, so they waited outside.
"Come on, Lord Xia, let me see your excellent hunting skills."
"I hope your hunting skills can be as wonderful as you said." Xia Ya replied not to be outdone.
…
The hunting place is not far away, just outside the city of Husk in a suburban forest.
Now that it has entered autumn, it is the season when the beasts go out to look for food to prepare for the winter, and it is also a good time to hunt.
Although there are no rare beasts in the suburban forest outside Husk City, it is not a very good hunting ground - but both of them are very clear that this is just a pretense for acting.
Under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, the two of them rode out of the city all the way - although Xi Ya's body was not as good as before, but fortunately he did not lose too much riding skills, and the movements of mounting and manipulating the horse at least seemed to be very skilled and natural. Of course... He couldn't do some of the difficult maneuvers that made horses stand up in the past.
This forest is just to the east outside the city. Standing beside the woods, you can clearly see the outline of the city wall of Husk City.
When they came to the woods, the escort cavalry had already advanced into the woods to search, and also divided two teams to guard the woods. Char and the Governor's wife sat on the horse and took a sip of water. The Governor's wife turned back and pointed at Haske City not far away with a horse whip: "Lord Char, have you heard of this city?"
"… I know a little." Xia Ya smiled lightly: "Unfortunately, the empire invested such a huge fortress, but it didn't play any role."
"So, people are the root of everything." The Governor's wife sighed: "The county governor of Esria County is a cowardly idiot. For such a idiot, even if he is given a hundred thousand soldiers, he will be given a Husk City is a fortress that is ten times taller and stronger, and he will only surrender obediently in the end. But if you were the county governor, I am afraid that I would not have ordered the dispatch of troops to Esria County at all, or even not. Got my mind on you."
"I think today's compliment is enough." Xia Ya smiled: "Although it does sound very comfortable, Mrs. Governor, I don't think you need to be too modest."
The two glanced at each other, the Governor's wife made a gesture of invitation right away, Xi Ya smiled, and a cavalryman immediately handed over a hunting bow—Xia Ya was heartbroken as soon as he took this bow!
This is just an ordinary hunting bow, the bow string and bow tire are of ordinary texture, and the strength is also very ordinary... If in the past, with a little force, Char Ya could even pull and break this kind of bow directly.
But now... with his current physique and strength, such an ordinary bow would be a bit laborious to draw!
This time, Xia Ya was even more sure of one thing: this Governor's wife really saw through her own strength! Those words on the carriage before were obviously not bluffing.
He looked at the bow, and then at the Governor's wife. This beautiful woman just smiled, as if she didn't care about Xia Ya's deep eyes: "Just ask Lord Xia Ya to show me your excellent archery skills, but I heard that you shot a deer with one arrow back then. That's it!"
She knows this...
Xia pouted the corners of his mouth. Back then, when he was full of supernatural power, the bow he used was also the superb "Juxiao Bow" sent by the Lantis people, but now... The Juxiao Bow was damaged when he hit the Damandras Orochi. If it is lost, where can I easily find another one of such a superb good thing? Moreover, with his current strength, even if he really gave himself a Whistling Bow, the fun would be really great, and he was afraid that he would never be able to pull that powerful bow again.
(Did she really see through my current strength... or... is this bow just a test?)
With a belly full of doubts, Xia Ya rode his horse slowly into the forest with the same expression on his face.
He knows his own situation. For archery, strength and precision are indispensable. Naturally, he can't show the so-called "magic archery" now. But for a good hunter, bows and arrows are not the only weapons.
After Xia Ya entered the forest, he simply jumped off the horse, slowly searched along the roots of the grass and trees, and found some traces of the beast's actions. He quickly took out a roll of rope dexterously and hit a The beast's rope was tied, and a few branches were cut with a knife to make a few simple traps...
All the movements are so skillful, just like the countless days and nights that were walking in the deep mountains.
Just when Xia Ya was cutting the branches, suddenly his heart moved, and he deliberately flicked his wrist, as if he was so careless... Seeing that his wrist movements suddenly became light, this was clearly his unique way of chopping wood!
At this moment, Xia Ya glanced at the woman secretly.
really!
This beautiful woman originally had a calm and warm smile on her face, but when she suddenly saw Xi Ya's technique of cutting wood, her amazingly beautiful big eyes squinted quickly, and a strange light flashed in her eyes!
She understands! ! !
This way of chopping firewood, strong men like Merlin and Aunt Sofia were amazed.
And at this moment, from the light that flashed in the eyes of the Governor's wife, she clearly understood! She can understand the magic of this technique!
Such a simple look is enough to prove one point: this woman is definitely not so weak from her appearance!
Next, the Governor's wife deliberately walked past the animal traps arranged by Char Ya, and praised Char Ya's hunting skills, but Char Ya knew that this woman was taking the opportunity to carefully observe the branches she cut out. Just a cut!
