Princess, the little monk is polite!

At sunset, Qiu Bao took the time to pour the footwashing water, leaving Jingyang alone to go out.

Quickly walked to the small forest in the distance, and stopped under a big tree, "The princess said, I will go down the mountain and return to the palace tomorrow, you are very protective, if you make a mistake, be careful of your heads!"

At this moment, Qiu Bao seemed to be a different person, his voice was cold, and his brows seemed to drift away like frost. He was still the somewhat naive person in the past.

"Yes!" As soon as Qiu Bao finished speaking, someone responded immediately, and this person should be not far from her.

After hearing someone's response, Qiu Bao walked back with the basin in his hand.

When he was still in the city earlier, Qiu Bao had noticed that someone was following them, and it seemed that he deliberately let himself discover their existence.

Recalling the scene of that day again:

Qiu Bao always got up early, but when he got out of the room, he was blocked by someone, and he frowned, "You guys followed us all the way?"

"Exactly." The leader was a man with a black saber in his hand.

Qiu Bao looked at the knife in the man's hand, and he knew in his heart, "The princess is going to Longshan Temple, so you can protect her."

The man with the knife frowned slightly, "It seems that Miss Qiu already knows who I am."

Qiu Bao stretched out his right hand, pulled the corner of his mouth towards the man, and pointed his finger on the handle of the saber, "If Qiu Bao remembers correctly, this should be the symbol of Ouchi's guard with a sword."

The man twitched the corner of his mouth and bent his body. "Miss Qiu is really smart. The emperor ordered her to protect the princess. But please keep this matter a secret from the princess."

Qiu Bao leaned forward to return the gift, "Your Excellency, you are being polite. Qiu Bao only does what he is supposed to do and won't say anything else. Please don't worry, Your Excellency."

In fact, it's not that Qiu Bao didn't want to tell the princess about it, it's just that with Jingyang's temperament, if she found out, she might not know how to make a fuss. .

After thinking about things for a while, she walked to the front of the hut in a blink of an eye, shook her head and resumed her usual lively appearance, just pushed open the door, and before she had time to put down the empty basin in her hand, she heard Jingyang's voice sound.

"Why did you pour the water for so long? Could it be that you went on a tryst with some lover secretly!" Jing Jing winked at Qiu Bao from the side.

As soon as Qiu Bao entered the room, she was teased by Jingyang so unprincipled that she stomped her feet in embarrassment. But there are only a few wolves."

Jingyang just likes to see her so at a loss, walks up to her with her lips pursed, her eyes flickering back and forth on her body.

Looking at it, Qiu Bao's back was numb, and he shrank his neck but did not dare to raise his head.

He patted Qiu Bao on the shoulder, "Say you are seventeen this year, right? I'm only fifteen and my father wants to marry me off." As he spoke, he took a few steps closer, next to Qiu Bao's ear, With a somewhat mysterious expression, he said: "Tell me secretly, if you have a crush on the son of some family, I will snatch him to be your husband!"

"Princess!" Qiu Bao blushed to the base of her neck, turned her face away and said embarrassingly, "If you say such embarrassing words again, I will ignore you!" Is this what a princess should say? !I don't know who I learned this from, and my mouth is full of nonsense.

Compared to Qiu Bao's embarrassment, Jing Jing looked very generous, brushed off his sleeves, and said solemnly: "The male college should marry, and the female college should marry, what is there to be ashamed of?" He patted Qiu Bao's arm: "If you fall in love with someone, just tell this princess, I will ask Father to give you a marriage!"

"Princess! I, I'm ignoring you!" Qiu Bao walked around Jingyang and walked to the bed, bowed his head and began to make the bed without saying a word.

Jing Jing was still talking behind Qiu Bao, and kept talking, and the more he talked, the more he talked, but the man didn't respond at all. "Hey, did you say something?"

Seeing that Qiubao still didn't respond, Jingyang stopped her hand making the bed, the atmosphere was a little strange, "Qiubao, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Qiu Bao's voice was hoarse, and there was a bit of a nasal sound when he spoke. Could it be that he was crying?

Pull Qiu Bao's face hard, sure enough!

Jingyang was so anxious now, "I was just joking, why are you crying? Stop crying."

Qiu Bao shook her lips, and her voice was still crying: "Princess, don't you want Qiu Bao to serve you?"

"of course not."

"Then why did you let Qiu Bao marry? Qiu Bao has been in the palace since he was a child, and it was hard for him to serve the princess. In just a few years, the princess will be kicked out." While talking, tears flowed, The sobbing sound also became louder.

"I didn't, I really didn't, you really misunderstood me." Jingyang hurriedly reached out and wiped her tears, "Oh, I was just joking with you, just take it as me, and ignore me."

Qiu Bao took Jingyang's hand and said, "The princess can't drive me away in the future."

"No rush, no rush, when will I overtake you?" Jingyang looked at Qiu Bao with a smile, what a silly boy.

Hearing what Jingyang said, Qiu Bao immediately stopped the tears, and his face brightened, and nodded at Jingyang with a smile: "I knew it, the princess is the best!"

Early in the morning, Qiu Bao packed their bags, thanked Uncle Chen and his daughter in a hurry, and set off on the road.

"In this mountain forest, although it is not as lively as in the city, the tranquility is the most difficult thing." Jing Jing walked all the way, but he felt reluctant to part with this place.

"The princess mainly likes this place. After returning to the palace, it is okay to call more people to come again." Qiu Bao didn't like this place very much, and the journey was too hard.

"How can it be the same? When the time comes, there will be groups of people, which will actually disturb the tranquility of this area." Jing Jing looked at Qiu Bao and shook his head.

"Princess, what are you doing?" Seeing Jingjing suddenly bent down, Qiu Bao picked up a stone.

"What are you doing picking this up? It's all dirt, so dirty."

Jingyang took out a handkerchief, wiped off the dirt on the stone, stuffed it into his sleeve, turned to look at Qiu Bao, "What do you know, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come here again, so keep a piece of it, It’s also good as a memorial.”

Qiu Bao couldn't help laughing when he saw that Jingyang took this stone as a treasure, and when his own princess became sentimental, "Okay, listen to the princess."

"Why is the road level and the branches gone?" Jingyang was a little surprised.

This road is much more suicidal than when I came here. The original uneven road has been completely filled, and all the obstructive branches have disappeared, as if someone pruned it specially.

Jingyang has noticed it, how can Qiubao not know.He cursed secretly in his heart: What a bunch of mindless bodyguards, if they do so well, aren't they afraid that the princess will be suspicious?

"Maybe, it was made by the monks on the mountain. They often have to walk this way. If it is made smoother, it will be easier for them to walk." Qiu Bao opened his mouth to talk nonsense, so he didn't even need to cover his face.

Jingyang didn't have any doubts at first, and when she heard what she wanted to say, she thought about it, so she nodded: "So that's the case."

"There is a river in front of the princess. I'll get some water. Don't wander around." Qiu Bao hurried to the river.

Crouching down, just as he was about to fetch water, he saw a black shadow flash across the surface of the river, and then a silver light split down.

"Who are you!" Qiu Bao turned around and hid.

The man in black didn't speak, and raised the sword in his hand to stab her again.

"Oops! The princess is still there!" Qiu Bao drew out his saber, and kept making fierce moves in front of the man in black.

This person's martial arts are much higher than Qiu Bao's, so she will definitely be unable to stand up to this.

Qiu Bao grabbed a handful of dirt and sprinkled it on the eyes of the man in black, then turned around and ran towards the princess.

Seeing that she was about to run, the man in black flew the sword in his hand towards her.

"when"

Just when Qiu Bao thought he was going to die, another silver knife knocked the life-threatening sword away.

After three moves and two moves, the man in black was subdued by that man.

"Who sent you here! Tell me!" It was the guard with a knife who had crossed paths with Qiu Bao yesterday.

The man in black still didn't say a word, the difference was that there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, and then a mouthful of black blood spurted from his mouth.

"He took poison!"

"The princess is still ahead!" Qiu Bao didn't care if he died or not, she just wanted to see the princess as soon as possible.

When the two arrived, they saw only a few corpses of guards with knives lying on the ground, but Jingyang was nowhere to be seen.
