Entrance, teahouse.
The tables and chairs placed outside the door have been put away.
There was a dim oil lamp burning in the room.
The girl was holding needle and thread, mending clothes under the lamp.
The middle-aged man sat at the table, eating a plate of broad beans and drinking a little wine, chatting with the girl about several major events that had happened in Dayan recently.
"The demon tribe, which has been silent for many years, has recently shown signs of revival. It is said that the city of Mo near Chuanmen Pass has been occupied by the demon beasts driven out by the demon tribe, and the people have fled..."
"It is said that it was once the capital of the ancient demon tribe, and many of the demon tribe's treasures are buried underground..."
"Dad, isn't the princess's army stationed there?"
"Yes, but the eldest princess was summoned to Kyoto a few months ago. It is said that she has been placed under house arrest in the palace and cannot go to the border."
"Ah, the eldest princess is so powerful, and she is the elder sister of the current emperor, why is she under house arrest? Who did it?"
"Hmph, this matter is complicated. I heard that the princess came to Kyoto with all her heart for reform, but who knew she would end up in trouble. Those nobles have long been united, and the princess's reforms have infringed on too many interests. Moreover, the emperor is not a simple person either."
"Alas, in the face of power, even brothers will turn against each other, not to mention that the eldest princess is too dazzling and too loved by the people..."
As the father and daughter were talking in low voices, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Waiter, lead the horse!"
The girl was startled when she heard this, and quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up, and whispered: "Daddy, it seems to be the voice of that stupid young man. He actually came out alive."
The middle-aged man continued to drink without saying anything.
"Squeak..."
The girl opened the door and walked out. She was secretly surprised to see that the ordinary-looking boy had returned safely.
She hurried to the stable and led his horse out. When she was about to speak, the young man suddenly jumped on the horse, threw her a piece of silver, and rode away with a "go!"
“Da da da!”
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
The girl stood there for a while with the silver in her hand. Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the house, a slender figure suddenly jumped down from the path on the stone wall next to her and said in a cold voice, "Lead the horse!"
At this time, another woman also jumped down lightly.
The girl glanced at the two of them, then immediately went to the stable, pulled out their horses, and handed them to them.
The graceful figure immediately jumped on the horse and was about to ride away when she suddenly looked at her and asked, "Did someone ride away just now?"
The girl opened her eyes wide and shook her head: "I don't know."
The woman directly threw her a silver ingot and said, "Do you understand now?"
The girl took the silver, but still shook her head and said, "I really don't know."
The woman's face darkened and she was about to get angry when the tall and slender figure rode away on his horse.
The woman snorted coldly and followed immediately.
The girl held the silver and stood outside for a while before turning back to the house, closing the door and saying, "Daddy, that young master seems to be being hunted by someone."
The middle-aged man threw a bean into his mouth and asked, "How do you know he is being hunted?"
The girl said, "The master and servant were so fierce just now. When they entered the mountain before, the group approached them and they were almost beaten. Now they are aggressively chasing the boy again. The boy must have been unable to resist teasing the girl. Daddy, you didn't see that the girl has a great figure, with a curvy figure, long legs, and a beautiful face. Men can't help but take a few more glances when they see her, and women are no exception."
The middle-aged man glanced at her and said, "Is she as beautiful as you?"
The girl giggled, touched the scar on her forehead, and said, "It was still a little short. Dad, you are really amazing. The boy actually got out safely. I wonder what happened to the other group of people."
The middle-aged man lowered his head to drink and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou rode his horse and galloped all the way.
In the early morning, he arrived at the horse farm ten miles outside the city. After handing over the horse and getting the money, he ran towards the city on foot.
With his current level of cultivation, he could run and jump at full speed faster than a horse.
It's just extremely physically demanding.
Fortunately, the journey was not too far, and soon they arrived at the foot of the city.
He walked around the city wall at the city gate, headed towards the west wall, and stopped under an arrow tower.
He had been out of body for the past few nights and had explored every place outside.
This arrow tower should be unguarded.
However, for safety reasons, he still hid in a corner, and flew into the air to investigate carefully.
There was a magical instrument embedded in the arrow tower that could restrain the soul, but due to his breath-concealing technique, the bead did not capture the aura of his soul.
Seeing that there were no guards around the arrow tower and the patrolling soldiers on the city wall had gone away, he floated down, brought a rope with his flying sword, flew to the top of the city wall, hung the rope on the battlement, and hung down.
Then the soul floated down and entered the body.
He pricked up his ears to listen to the noise above, then suddenly jumped onto the wall, grabbed the hanging rope, ran a few steps on the wall, and jumped onto the top of the wall.
He squatted on the ground, motionless. When he saw that there was no movement around him, he retracted the rope and jumped directly into the city. After landing on the ground, he rolled over and rushed out again, disappearing into the shadow of the corner of the wall.
Not long.
The sound of horse hooves came quickly from the darkness and arrived at the city gate.
After circling around, the girl turned her horse around, took the woman away, and went to a nearby inn to look for her.
Luo Qingzhou took off the mask, jumped into the mansion, and returned to the courtyard quietly.
He took off all his clothes in the yard, then drew two large buckets of ice-cold water from the well. After his rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down, he began to take a cold shower.
He was having a great time moving forward, backward, left, right, up and down, when suddenly he felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw a figure standing in the shadows of the corridor, staring at him motionlessly and silently.
Luo Qingzhou froze in place for a few seconds, then hurriedly squatted down, holding his butt, and said, "Chanchan, what are you doing? When did you come?"
Xia Chan stood in the corridor holding the sword, still looking at him silently without saying a word.
Luo Qingzhou quickly picked up the wooden bucket and poured all the water in it onto himself. Then he took the towel, squatted down and wiped his body, saying, "This is too much. How can you peek at my son-in-law taking a bath?"
After drying himself, he quickly put on his underwear and outer clothes. While wiping his hair, he walked over and said, "Are you scared? Come on, go inside, and I'll show you enough."
"snort!"
Xia Chan immediately left quickly and went out through the main door, closing the door for him.
Luo Qingzhou stood under the eaves, looking at the closed courtyard gate, feeling a little warm in his heart.
Did she find out that he had gone out, so she had been waiting for him here? Or had the Second Miss already told her to be ready to meet him at any time
Thinking of the Second Young Lady, he had to go and tell her, lest Princess Nangong come tomorrow morning and reveal any flaws.
The second young lady might still be worried.
Thinking of this, he immediately dried his hair, went out, and went straight to Meixiang Garden.
He knocked on the door gently, but no one responded. Just as he was about to jump over the wall, the door suddenly creaked open.
Zhu Er poked her head out, and when she saw it was him, she hurriedly said, "Sir, come in quickly, the young lady hasn't slept yet, and she's coughing again tonight."
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, his heart sank and he walked in immediately.
The light in the study was still on.
He walked into the house quickly. When he reached the door of the study, Qiu'er came out from the room next door and said softly, "Sir, let me help you take off your shoes."
As she said that, she came over and squatted in front of him, holding his legs and helping him take off his shoes.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned and looked at her with suspicion.
Qiu Er stood up and saw him staring at her with such eyes. Her cheeks immediately turned red and she lowered her head and said, "Sir, I don't... I don't have a foot fetish..."
"You confess without being asked!"
Zhu'er snorted coldly outside.
Luo Qingzhou showed a gentle smile on his face. He stretched out his hand, rubbed the girl's head, and encouraged her: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you have it. If you like something, you should pursue it bravely. Don't be afraid of being laughed at by others. How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
"Sir, I really didn't..."
Qiu'er blushed and was about to explain when the door of the study suddenly opened.
The second Miss Qin, dressed in a plain white dress, stood in the doorway, looking delicate but pretty. She smiled softly, "Brother Qingzhou, please don't teach Qiu'er bad things. What kind of ambition is to have feet?"
Zhu Er came into the room and asked curiously, "Uncle, what is a red kettle? Is it used to boil water?"
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched and he replied, "Yes, it's used to boil water."
After saying that, he immediately went into the house and closed the door.
Miss Qin Er was still covering her mouth and laughing.
Under the light, her beautiful and gentle face was as pretty as a flower, her eyes were full of life, her appearance was delicate and lovely, and her posture was weak and charming.
Luo Qingzhou grabbed her slender waist, held her in his arms, and warned: "Laugh again?"
Miss Qin bit her lip and tried not to laugh, but her sparkling eyes were still smiling, and her fair chin was slightly raised, as if to challenge: "I laughed, what do you think, Brother Qingzhou?"
“Bang!”
Luo Qingzhou's hand around her slender waist suddenly slapped her buttocks and whispered, "If you don't obey, spank me."
Miss Qin Er's body froze, her watery eyes wide open, she bit her lip and looked at him, her fair cheeks instantly flushed, she was stunned for a moment, and said shyly: "Brother Qingzhou, you..."
Luo Qingzhou stared at her blushing cheeks for a while, then suddenly picked her up and walked towards the bed in the inner room.
Miss Qin's body began to soften, her heart pounded, her chest heaved, and her breathing became more rapid.
Luo Qingzhou opened the curtain and placed her on the bed.
Then he squatted on the ground, held her slender calves under her skirt, and slowly took off the snow-white stockings on her feet.
A pair of snow-white, slender girl's feet were suddenly revealed.
