"Hey, I'm your sister, and I'm still hungry." Su Ningxin said with a sad look on her face as she looked at Shen Zhao who kept passing rabbit meat to Mu Zhiyun.
But Shen Zhao said without looking back, "Yes, my sister can't run away, but my wife can."
Su Ningxin gave Shen Zhao a thumbs up, "It makes so much sense that I can't even refute it."
As she spoke, Su Ningxin viciously tore off two rabbit legs from the roasted rabbit, stuffed one into her mouth and handed the other to Gu Mingxi.
At this time, Su Ning missed the Queen very much. If the Queen was here, the two of them could have performed a drama of "How can I eat rabbits?" It was a pity.
After Shen Zhao showed his courtesy in front of Mu Zhiyun, he turned to look at Su Ningxin, "Why are you in such a hurry today? Is there something going on?"
They usually travel all the way to the mountains and rivers. They plan the route every time they travel. They have never slept in the wilderness in order to rush. Today is indeed uncharacteristic, they did not stop on the way, as if they were in a hurry.
Su Ningxin shook her rabbit leg and raised her head, "Didn't I tell you?"
Shen Zhao rolled his eyes, "What are you telling me?"
After getting along for more than ten days, the relationship between the brother and sister has improved a lot. Shen Zhao only thought that this was a family relationship that was thicker than water. In the past, Su Ningxin was not close to him just because they didn't get along much. Look now The more we get along with each other, the closer we will become.
But the fact is that Su Ningxin learned from Gu Mingxi that Shen Zhao had always taken good care of her in her previous life. Otherwise, with her fantastic ideas as a time traveler and her various actions in the backyard, it would have been impossible for her to not care about her at all. The good reputation has not spread.
Knowing this, Su Ning couldn't help but reflect on herself. After traveling through time in her previous life, she had wisdom and maturity far beyond that of her peers. Likewise, her family ties were not taken over by her, so she was never close to the people in Taiping's Mansion. , as if she was just an outsider wandering around, and did not expect that the brother Shen Zhao had been silently taking care of her.
Originally, Su Ningxin felt that there was no way to verify the past life, but at that time she ignored Gu Mingxi, an old monster with a time bug. She had been looping on the same day for so long, and she was still trapped in the capital and couldn't get out. , so she knew something about most things in the capital, so she got answers to these things that even Su Ningxin didn't notice in her previous life.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You're not thinking about Chu Jihan, are you?" Shen Zhao didn't wait for Su Ningxin's answer. Seeing that she was distracted, he leaned over and tapped her on the forehead.
Su Ningxin came to her senses and covered her forehead, "How dare you hit me? You're so brave."
As she said that, Su Ningxin picked up the stick for roasting rabbit and started beating Shen Zhao. The two of them went back and forth for a while before they sat down to talk.
"Gu Mingxi received news that a martial arts conference will be held in Yangzhou City. It sounds very powerful. Let's rush over to see it. If we are late, we may miss it." Su Ningxin gnawed at herself He said as he finished eating the rabbit leg.
"Martial arts conference?" Shen Zhao repeated doubtfully. He remembered that the martial arts conference should be held every eight years. It was an event for the martial arts sects among the people. However, if he remembered correctly, the last martial arts conference seemed to be three years ago. , this is still five years away from the next conference, why is there such an event now
Although they are also secret guards, Feng Ying's main scope of activities is the palace and the backyard, Long Guard is mainly responsible for protecting the emperor and investigating officials, and Xiyan established by Chu Luojue focuses on civilian affairs.
Therefore, as the leader of Xiyan, Shen Zhao has always paid close attention to the trends in the martial arts world, and is also very familiar with the rules of the martial arts conference.
Su Ningxin didn't know that much. Although she imagined the happy life of wielding swords when she traveled back in time, in fact, she still stayed in the capital most of the time, no matter in her previous life or in this life.
Even when I went to Xingyuan Mansion and Daming Mansion, I hid the fact that I knew martial arts and followed my family's motorcade. I never encountered the imaginary scene of fighting in a teahouse with tables turned over.
So as soon as I heard that there was a martial arts conference, something that I had long been fascinated by, I immediately planned to join in the fun.
Shen Zhao knew something must have happened, and did not dare to be careless. He directly focused his eyes on Gu Mingxi and said in a respectful tone, "Princess, has something happened in the world?"
Shen Zhao knew Gu Mingxi's identity as Princess Xingyang. In addition, Shen Zhao had served under Gu Mingxi's father, King Pingnan for a period of time when he was in the army. Therefore, he had always been respectful to Gu Mingxi and did not dare to look like him at all. Like Su Ningxin and Mu Zhiyun with such playful smiles.
And because Gu Mingxi was present with an unfamiliar person like Shen Zhao, she kept putting on airs. Su Ningxin felt that the way she ate was more gentle than when she was in front of him.
I saw Gu Mingxi put down the rabbit meat in his hand and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. In fact, he swallowed the food in his mouth under the cover of the handkerchief, and then said calmly,
"I have a friend from the martial arts community who sent a message saying that the current martial arts leader's family has been massacred. This early martial arts conference is to elect a new martial arts leader. Of course, it is also to find out who the murderer is and to provide evidence for the predecessor. The leader of the martial arts alliance takes revenge."
Seeing Shen Zhao's doubts, Gu Mingxi also explained, "Because we didn't know who the murderer was and we were worried about alerting others, this martial arts conference has been held in secret. When the alliance leader was exterminated, 184 people died. It was a big deal." The officials in Yangzhou cannot bear this responsibility, so they can only suppress it first and then secretly report it to the capital. I guess you will receive the news in the next few days."
Shen Zhao nodded. If the people in the Jianghu were deliberately concealing the news, and there was the cooperation of local officials, it would have taken him a while to receive the news. After all, Xiyan was just a power established by Chu Luojue, and it was only five or six times that it was full of hope. Years are still too short to penetrate into the world and become the leaders.
While thinking about it, Shen Zhao suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at Gu Mingxi in shock.
From what Gu Mingxi said, it seemed that she knew his secret identity, but it stands to reason that in the eyes of people in the capital, he should only be the heir apparent of Uncle Taiping's family without an official position. Even Su Ningxin knew that he was He felt that Chu Jihan had told her her identity. How could Princess Xingyang know
Gu Mingxi looked at Shen Zhao's expression, smiled, and then said, "Is it strange? The leader of Xiyan."
