Madam, protect me!

In the morning, Li Nuo opened the door with dark circles under his eyes.

Yesterday, because of that case, he had been busy until late at night. Later, Princess An Ning came to his room and asked him questions, which lasted for more than an hour.

Last night was probably the worst night he had slept in the past month.

He planned to catch up on his sleep after returning home.

Princess An Ning walked in from outside and said, "You're awake, I'll take you home."

Li Nuo said, "No, the housekeeper at home should be waiting for me outside."

Li An Ning did not insist and said, "Okay, I'll take you out of Sifang Pavilion... Next time there is a case, I'll go to the Song family to find you."

After these two days of contact, Li Nuo felt that Princess An Ning was actually a good person. Not only did she answer all his questions about cultivation, but she was also willing to assign cases to him.

This reminded Li Nuo of the senior who helped him get familiar with the work when he first entered the court.

At that time, Li Nuo was not familiar with the business. Thanks to her patient guidance, she would take the initiative to help him share the work when Li Nuo could not complete it.

It was undoubtedly a very happy thing to meet such a senior when I just entered the industry.

Li Anning sent Li Nuo to the gate of Sifang Pavilion, and Wu Butler's carriage was already waiting here.

Li Nuo got on the carriage, Li Anning waved to him and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to the Ministry of Justice to find me..."

Li Nuo clasped his fists to her and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Wu Butler drove the carriage and asked, "The master was also in Sifang Pavilion last night. Did the young master see the master?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "Yes."

Wu Butler had obviously heard about what happened in Sifang Pavilion last night, and sighed, "Princess Anning is worthy of being a heroine. The case that the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple could not solve was actually solved by her at a glance..."

Li Nuo was very satisfied with the result.

He didn't care whether he was famous or not. Anyway, he had gotten what he deserved. When he was still weak, it was better not to attract too much attention.

Back to the Song Mansion, Li Nuo dragged his tired body into the room and greeted Song Jiaren who was dressing up, "Madam, good morning..."

After that, he walked to the bed, without even taking off his clothes, and fell straight down.

Song Jiaren's lips moved, and before she could ask anything, steady breathing came from the bed.

After a while, she walked to the bed, raised her hand, and Li Nuo's shoes and socks were automatically taken off. A quilt slowly unfolded and covered him...

When Li Nuo woke up, it was already past noon.

It was still comfortable to sleep on the madam's bed. More importantly, the familiar fragrance on the bed made him sleep very peacefully. In the future, he should try to stay out less at night.

Walking into the yard, Song Jiaren, who was practicing sword, saw him and said, "You're awake. I'll ask the kitchen to heat up lunch."

She sheathed the long sword and put it on the table.

Li Nuo walked to the stone table and saw the sword that his wife had placed there. He picked it up casually and drew his sword habitually to make a few beautiful sword flowers.

This habit was obviously not his own.

Li Nuo looked at the last page of the code. On that page was a middle-aged man with a resolute face. He was the Chu guard who assassinated his country's envoy.

His portrait was colorful and bright.

The last time, the guard of the Gu family was also a warrior, but the portrait had never lit up, indicating that this Chu assassin had some kind of talent recognized by the code.

Being able to cultivate two skills to the fourth level at the same time, his martial arts talent must be higher than that of ordinary fourth-level warriors.

Li Nuo waved the sword casually for a few times, and many exquisite sword moves automatically emerged in his mind, but his physical strength was limited. After dancing twice, he was a little out of breath.

It seems that he only got the other party's sword skills, but not his cultivation.

Come to think of it, it is incredible to be able to obtain the skills that others have practiced for a lifetime. If you can even inherit the true energy, it is too against the sky.

Although he knew it was impossible, Li Nuo still felt a little regretful.

If he had the cultivation of the fourth realm, even if it was only for a day or a quarter of an hour, he would not have pinned all his hopes on his wife the next time he encountered danger.

As soon as Li Nuo had this idea, he found that the portrait of the man on the code began to flash wildly.

As the portrait flashed, his remaining lifespan was also decreasing rapidly.

Two hundred and fifty-three.

Two hundred and fifty-two.

…

In just a moment, his lifespan dropped from the highest of two hundred and fifty-four to two hundred and forty, and there was a trend of continued decline.

The familiar scene made Li Nuo's eyelids jump wildly, and he immediately said: "Stop, stop, stop!"

The number on the code finally stopped at two hundred and thirty-six.

In just a moment, he was deducted eighteen days of lifespan.

Similar things happened only when Li Nuo exchanged the calligraphy skills of the female assassin.

But that time it only reduced one day. This time, if Li Nuo had not stopped in time, I don't know how much his lifespan would be deducted.

Eighteen days of lifespan were lost.

But there seemed to be something extra in his body.

Li Nuo was very familiar with this feeling. It was the same feeling when his wife sent the true energy into his body.

Li Nuo swung a sword in the air.

Swoosh!

An invisible energy shot out.

The next moment, a deep crack appeared on the wall not far away.

Li Nuo stared blankly at the sword mark on the wall.

Could it be that as long as he was willing to pay a lot of his life, he could even exchange for the cultivation level of the person in the portrait?

Going against the will of heaven is going against the will of heaven.

But the price is too high.

After slashing out this sword, his body was already empty.

He consumed eighteen days of his life, and he was just happy for a moment...

The slash just now was at best the strength of the True Qi Realm. If he wanted to rush to the Controlling Object Realm, his pitiful life span would have to be squeezed dry...

Half a month of life was wasted in a flash. Only a very extravagant person could do such a thing.

This also made Li Nuo completely understand that the code was controlled by his mind. As long as he had an idea, anything that could be achieved by the code would be executed without hesitation.

It was a bit painful, but it had to be said that this ability was very useful.

Next time if he encountered any danger, even if Butler Wu and his wife were not around, he could deal with it himself.

Although the cost of dealing with it was a bit high.

When Li Nuo comforted himself like this, Song Jiaren came in with a dinner plate.

Yesterday, he only ate some cakes provided by Sifang Restaurant. Li Nuo didn't think about these things first and concentrated on eating.

Song Jiaren stood beside him, curious about who the woman who took him away yesterday was, but she felt that she had no right to ask, so she didn't ask in the end.

She picked up the sword and continued to practice sword moves in the yard.

Li Nuo ate while admiring the lady's sword dance.

In the past, he just watched the excitement and focused on watching people, but today was different. Today, he focused on the sword.

Although he didn't know anything about martial arts, he could see the exquisiteness of her sword moves, which was naturally due to the light of the Chu assassin.

In the martial arts, most warriors pursue absolute cultivation.

But there are also a small number of people who pay more attention to martial arts.

The fifth-level martial arts masters are all masters of martial arts skills.

After learning from others and integrating the martial arts of various schools, they often break the shackles and walk out of their own way.

Founding a school and creating martial arts is a martial arts master.

To become a master, physical talent alone is not enough, but also requires extremely high comprehension.

Among ten warriors in the Qi realm, one can enter the realm of controlling objects.

But there may not be one master in the realm of controlling objects in a hundred.

Watching the lady practicing sword, Li Nuo couldn't help but think, if he was her opponent, how should he break her sword moves.

The final conclusion was that he couldn't break it...

This shows that the strong man from the Chu State is not the opponent of the lady in terms of martial arts alone.

Housekeeper Wu always said that the lady had a very high talent for martial arts. Li Nuo didn't realize it before, until today, he had a more obvious understanding of her talent.

There is no harm without comparison.

The guard of the Chu State, who could practice two martial arts to a high level at the same time, must be a genius among geniuses, but in front of the lady, it seems that he is not good enough.

Li Nuo hadn't finished his meal when several old gentlemen came over.

The lady said that they came yesterday, but didn't wait for him.

Li Nuo felt a little sorry for making the elderly wait for two hours in vain, so he specially explained some more content to them today.

After the lecture, he played with Mu'er for a while.

After they played a few games of Go, Song Mu'er suddenly asked: "Brother Li Nuo, who was that big sister yesterday?"

Li Nuo asked: "Which big sister?"

Song Mu'er said: "It was the big sister who rode a horse in the morning."

Li Nuo was surprised and said: "How do you know that big sister who rode a horse?"

Song Mu'er said: "I saw it at home, and I greeted you, but you ignored me..."

Li Nuo was in a hurry to investigate the case yesterday, and did not notice that Mu'er greeted him. He explained to her and said: "The big sister who rode a horse is my brother's friend."

He and Li Anning should be considered friends.

Song Muer asked again: "What kind of friend? How did you meet? Why haven't you met that sister before?"

The little girl asked a lot of questions today, but Li Nuo also patiently explained to her. After listening, Song Muer suddenly said: "So that's how it is..."

After playing this game of chess, Song Muer went to practice, and Li Nuo continued to read.

Song Muer trotted to another courtyard and said to a figure in the courtyard: "Sister Jiaren, I asked for you, they are just ordinary friends..."
