An hour later, Zhuo Feiyang challenged again, but as soon as he made a move, he was hit by a sword and his face turned gray and ugly.
This sword stabbed him in the shoulder, and he couldn't do it again.
He gritted his teeth, turned livid, turned and left without saying a word, even ignoring Suru and Zhao Ying, and walked away with his hands on his shoulders.
When Zhao Yinglin boarded the boat, she gave Chu Li a hard look. The hatred between Zhuo and Chu became even greater, and it was difficult for her to persuade him to make peace.
Chu Li smiled apologetically.
After he watched the boat disappear, he turned around and met Suru's smiling eyes.
Suru pursed her lips and chuckled: "Chu Li, do you like Zhao Ying?"
Chu Li smiled.
Suru chuckled lightly: "It seems that she likes Zhuo Feiyang more. That's true. If you two stand together, Zhuo Feiyang will have an advantage."
Chu Li was silent.
Suru looked at him with a smile: "Zhao Ying seems to be quite popular."
"She is beautiful, gentle and kind, what man wouldn't like her?" Chu Li sighed, feeling melancholy that Zhao Ying did not like him.
"Do you think there's hope for you?"
"certainly!"
"I think Xuan!" Suru pursed her lips and chuckled, "Can you compete with Zhuo Feiyang?"
"..." Chu Li frowned.
Zhuo Feiyang is not only a genius, but also handsome. He is more popular with women than himself. He does not deceive himself. He is indeed not as good as Zhuo Feiyang. Moreover, women like Zhuo Feiyang, who is full of masculinity and amazing charm. He is lackluster in front of Zhuo Feiyang. .
"Are you discouraged?" Suru said with a smile, looking at him with bright eyes like water.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "I won't give up!"
"That's right!" Suru said with a smile: "It's not like you, Chu Li, to give up!... Do you want my help?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Suru smiled and said: "Don't believe I can help?"
"Thank you, manager!" Chu Li cupped his fists and bowed deeply: "Please help me, manager!"
Don't hesitate to ask for help when it's time to ask for help, and be willing to show off your face. Without this willingness to go out of your way, how could you possibly get a woman!
Suru giggled, laughed for a while and shook her head: "You men... it's true!"
Chu Li smiled sheepishly and said, "You can't just watch the woman you like being snatched away by another man, right? Besides, Zhuo Feiyang is not a good companion either. I can't watch Junior Sister Zhao jump into the pit of fire!"
"I still don't know what you are thinking?" Suru glanced at him and snorted: "You men think that you are the only one worthy of a beautiful woman, and you shouldn't be with other men!"
Chu Li chuckled twice.
Suru hummed: "Okay, I'm not joking with you, I'm here for a serious business this time."
"Yes!" Chu Li's expression turned serious.
Suru glanced around and saw that Li Yue was not there. Only the two of them were standing by the lake, coming slowly. The lake was refreshing, empty and quiet.
"Can you plant fairy whiskers in large quantities?"
"If you're not afraid of destroying the land, no problem."
"Well, we need a large number of fairy whiskers this time, so grow them as soon as possible!"
"How many?"
"At least twenty acres!"
"Twenty acres!?" Chu Li frowned and looked at her: "These twenty acres of land will be ruined. It will take at least five years to recover!"
"Um."
"... It's best to plant it outside the house, and the more fertile the soil, the better."
"That's what I meant!" Suru chinned slightly and said in deep thought: "This matter must be kept secret!"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Judging from Suru's expression, she knew that this matter could not be made public.
"There is a valley on the other side of Shiwanda Mountain. It is very hidden. If you go there and plant, the land there will be very fertile."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded without hesitation.
"This matter is kept secret and cannot attract attention." Suru shook her head: "But there can be no mistakes, so I plan to assign you a guard."
"One more person means more risk." Chu Li said: "Just me!"
"What if something happens on the way!" Suru glanced at him and snorted: "Can you handle it?"
Chu Li raised his brows, smiled, and looked in the distance in the direction where the boat disappeared.
Suru hummed: "Okay, let Zhao Ying follow you!"
"Thank you, manager!" Chu Li was overjoyed, cupping his fists and saluting.
"Hmph, this is what you wanted, but things are going to go wrong. You will be demoted to two ranks, and Zhao Ying will also be demoted to a handyman!"
"yes!"
"If you get into trouble when you go out, you know what to do, right?"
"Don't worry, manager, our identities will never be exposed!"
"You are smart!" Suru nodded with satisfaction. This matter was handed over to Chu Li as a test to see if he could handle it.
—
In the early morning, the south gate of the Duke's Mansion.
Under the bright sunshine, the two giant bronze lions seemed to come alive and would pounce at any time to bite people.
Zhao Ying was wearing a lake-green robe, holding a maroon horse, and stood quietly next to a giant lion, staring at the door with her bright eyes.
It was still early in the morning, and almost no one came in or out of the door. Her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly from time to time. This mission made her a little curious.
When she received the mission, the mission was to escort a person and operate in secret. She was not allowed to tell anyone, and she did not say who the other person was. She was only told to wait at the south gate in the morning, and someone would come to find her.
She was curious and excited about a rare outing mission.
I don’t know how many people will be on this mission, who will be escorted, maybe some high-ranking big shot. Only these big shots keep their whereabouts secret, for fear that others will know.
The Duke's mansion is powerful and prominent, and its reputation is spread all over the world. However, these reputations are built on the heads of people. There are many enemies. Those martial arts figures are very bloody and will risk their lives for revenge. Once their whereabouts are exposed, they may be surrounded by a group of evil wolves. .
She was just a ninth-grade guard, and it was the first time she participated in such a secret operation. She was inexplicably excited, her eyes shining, and she waited for a long time without feeling impatient at all.
She suddenly saw Chu Li and hurriedly waved her little hand, signaling Chu Li to come over and leave quickly. There is no need to come over to say hello.
Although he was curious about why Chu Li was also holding the horse, as if he was about to leave the house, he couldn't care about it. He was focused on the person who was about to appear, and he didn't want to miss that person or leave a bad impression on the other person.
Chu Li led a bay-red horse and slowly came to Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying glanced around quickly with her bright eyes, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Chu, what are you doing!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Junior Sister Zhao, who are you waiting for?"
"No one is waiting!" Zhao Ying said hurriedly.
This mission was confidential and could not be told to anyone, and she kept that in mind.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed: "Are you waiting for me?"
"Nonsense, I'm not waiting for anyone!" Zhao Ying snorted and waved her little hand: "Senior Brother Chu, if you have anything to say, please tell me some other time, hurry up and do your work, I'll leave right away!"
Chu Li laughed.
Zhao Ying frowned and glared at him.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "Junior sister Zhao, you are indeed waiting for me."
"Senior Brother Chu!" Zhao Ying stamped her feet and yelled, her face flushed.
Chu Li said: "Your mission this time is to escort me!"
"Huh-?" Zhao Yingming's eyes widened.
Chu Li nodded and said: "Yes, it is to escort me, a confidential mission."
"Really... is it really you?" Zhao Yingming blinked and pointed at him in surprise.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Is there a word "Li" in your mission book?"
Zhao Ying frowned and looked at him.
Chu Li said: "You have the badge of the Duke's Mansion, right?"
Zhao Ying nodded.
"You can't take it with you. Just put it back. You can't bring anything that could indicate your identity on this mission."
"Is it really you?" Zhao Ying asked disappointedly.
Chu Li laughed: "Hurry up, we have to leave as soon as possible!"
"Are there any other guards?"
"No more, it's just you, your task is important!"
"why me?"
"I'll explain it to you on the way. Act quickly!" Chu Li waved his hand.
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes at him, turned around and walked towards the house, using Qing Gong she quickly disappeared.
After a while, she hurried back and hummed: "Let's go!"
The two mounted their horses and rode side by side.
The south gate of the Duke's Mansion is the north gate of Chongming City. The two of them walked slowly in Chongming City. The surroundings were busy and lively. The entire Chongming City seemed like a lively morning market, even more lively than usual.
"Why am I the only one?"
"It won't attract attention. We two look like a couple, so we won't attract attention."
"... who is a couple with you!"
"hehe… "
"I'm just a ninth-level guard, I don't have any martial arts skills." Zhao Ying was a little embarrassed.
This is the first time to carry out a secret mission. The reward for a secret mission is three times that of a normal mission. Not just anyone can accept it. Logically speaking, I am not qualified to accept such a secret mission.
"It's best not to use martial arts if you can." Chu Li sat on the horse and drove the horse lazily.
"What if there is danger?"
"There's only one word - run!"
"Then what do you want me to do!"
"Pretend to be a couple!"
"Senior Brother Chu!" Zhao Ying glared at him dissatisfied.
"Junior Sister Zhao, you don't want to take this mission?" Chu Li said with a smile, "If you really don't want to take it, you can substitute someone else."
Zhao Ying glanced at him and said, "Who said you don't want to pick it up?"
Chu Li said: "You won't bear grudge against me, right?"
"Why do you hold a grudge?"
"I defeated Zhuo Feiyang, do you think you can't bear it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who can't bear it!" Zhao Yingjiao said angrily: "It's just a martial arts competition. Senior Brother Zhuo is a martial arts wizard. He will surpass you sooner or later. Senior Brother Chu, it's not good for you to be so proud!"
"Who said Zhuo Feiyang can surpass me?"
Zhao Ying pouted her mouth. She didn't want to expose Chu Li's scars. She couldn't practice internal skills without building a foundation. It was so pitiful that she couldn't bear to tell it to her mouth.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Junior sister Zhao likes Zhuo Feiyang very much, right?"
Zhao Yingbai glanced at him and said nothing.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "Who gave Zhuo Feiyang such a lovable face? Alas... I just didn't expect Junior Sister Zhao to judge people by their appearance like this."
"Senior Brother Chu, please stop talking nonsense. You judge a book by its appearance!" Zhao Ying said angrily: "I don't like Senior Brother Zhuo either!"
"Everyone can see that you like Zhuo Feiyang!"
"Nonsense!" Zhao Yingjiao said angrily: "I'm just asking Senior Brother Zhuo for advice to improve my martial arts as soon as possible!"
"It's better to ask him for advice than to follow me!" Chu Li shook his head and said with a smile: "He only immerses himself in practicing stupidly and doesn't read books. His martial arts knowledge is far behind!"
"Senior Brother Chu, practicing martial arts requires practice. Just reading is useless!" Zhao Ying disagreed.
Chu Li shook his head and said: "Junior Sister Zhao, your idea is wrong."
The two of them were talking as they rode through the bustling crowd, attracting people's attention. Although the man was not handsome enough, he was more impressive and majestic, and the woman was pretty, so they matched each other quite well.
Chu Li was not in a hurry. He sat on the horse and slowly admired it, feeling the rich atmosphere of life. He had not been in such a relaxed and comfortable state of mind for a long time. Since he had the Ku Rong Sutra and established the foundation, his heart was no longer depressed and he was completely relaxed.
Zhao Ying snorted: "Senior Brother Chu, why was I wrong?"
Chu Li said: "You think that the martial arts you practice is unique, don't you know, you are just repeating the old path of your predecessors. There are many practice notes in the Yanwu Hall, which record your own experience in practice. You don't read them, but explore on your own..."
He shook his head and sighed: "This is a complete waste of time!"
"The experience is deeper when you explore it yourself." Zhao Ying hummed.
Chu Li shook his head and said: "According to what you said, you don't need a master, you just need to practice slowly by yourself!"
"Humph, I won't tell you!" Zhao Ying was at a loss for words.
Chu Li said: "Junior Sister Zhao, you practice Feiyan Sword Technique, right?"
"good."
"Practice for me when you have time."
"Senior Brother Chu, do you also know Feiyan Sword Technique?"
"I know a little bit, I've read a few training notes."
"...Okay." Zhao Ying snorted, wanting to see if he was bragging!
