monopolize my master

Ling Xiao hurriedly dispelled the idea of ​​flying to kick the man in black off his horse, hugged Su Huang tightly, and quickly looked in the direction where the man in black was staring, but there was no one there.

"Psychological tactics?"

Taking advantage of Ling Xiao looking back, the man in black quickly got on his horse and fled.Before leaving, I did not forget to sprinkle a pile of extremely smelly mist powder.

"Hold your breath." Ling Xiao quickly covered Su Huang's mouth and nose with his sleeve robe, and turned his back.When the smoke cleared, the man in black who came to assassinate him had already ridden his horse and disappeared.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Ling Xiao supported Su Huangzai and checked him carefully, "Did you inhale the blind eye? Or was it injured?"

"No..." Su Huang shook his head, "Ling Xiao, did that person run away?"

"Yes. I will send someone from the palace to take you back to the palace. I will go back to the Yamen again and tell Mr. Fu Yin the characteristics of that person."

"I'll go back with you." Su Huang said.

"No. The assassination just now may be aimed at you. If you are injured in any way, I really will die... Be obedient." Ling Xiao told Su Huang worriedly, with an unquestionable tone.

"But those attendants around me are not as good as you...and we have just walked so far, who knows where they are now..." Su Huang said dissatisfied, "I will not hold back."

"...Forget it, get on the horse first." Ling Xiao pulled the rope and carried Su Huang onto the horse, "Sit down."

Su Huang was obedient, and the two rode together, and Ling Xiao speeded up appropriately.

"...Ling Xiao." Su Huang seemed hesitant to speak.

"how?"

"...It's nothing. You just said that you have a family?" After hesitating for a long time, Su Huang finally asked tentatively.

"Ah."

Su Huang immediately lowered his face when he heard the words.An unhappy look.

"My imperial sister said that a man with a wife can no longer be nice to others... If you find such a person, try to stay away from it... You just talked softly to those two girls... and the same to me ..." Su Huang's voice gradually became quieter, struggling in her heart, and finally asked forcefully, "Are you... are you such a person?"

Ling Xiao was stunned for a while, and sighed with his forehead, "...what is your sister Huang talking to you..."

Su Huang stared at him intently, and Ling Xiao sighed helplessly, "I don't have a wife. It's out of politeness to show courtesy to those two girls, not the kind of people your sister said you should stay away from." Paused Dun Lingxiao said again, "cough...and you and I are regarded as the friendship between master and apprentice and monarch and minister. It's different from them."

"Oh. Got it." Su Huang nodded, the expression on his face seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

I really can't see through him.Ling Xiao rubbed his forehead and sighed, Su Huang was young, in some places he looked calm and grown-up, and in some things... unexpectedly immature.

Perhaps, this should be the appearance of an eight-year-old child?

Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing.

East Palace.

Ling Xiao and Su Huangfang got off their horses and realized that something was wrong.None of the eunuchs and maids around the East Palace were there, deserted and lifeless.

Ling Xiao and Su Huang looked at each other, frowning.

"You came back early."

A stern voice came from inside the hall.Ling Xiao and Su Huang were shocked.

It's the emperor.

"My son came back late, please punish my father!" Su Huang pulled Ling Xiao to kneel on the ground, pleading guilty to the bright yellow robe.

"I know."

The emperor slowly walked out of the room and walked in front of the two of them.

A chill.

"Where have you been?" asked the emperor.

"...Going back to Emperor Father, it's Donghui Yamen. I'm a little concerned about the murder of Master Zhang that you mentioned a few days ago, and I want to go with Master Ling to see the situation."

"My son is promising." The emperor said with a chuckle, "Studying so hard and making progress is not what I expected. Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

"Ling Aiqing, get up too, you've done a good job. It's always good to take Ah Huang out to see the world." The emperor also smiled and said to Ling Xiao, "I'm not asking my teacher to ask a crime, but I have something to ask Master Ling."

Ling Xiao stood up in trepidation.

"Recently, I have heard such a rumor among the people, and I am very concerned about it. It is said that there is a young martial arts talent among the people. He is about the same age as Ah Huang, but he is already a good martial artist. I asked someone to ask, That kid has only practiced martial arts for more than a month, but he has profound inner strength, and even a few stronger young people are no match for him." The emperor said, "I thought about it, since I agreed to Ah Huang's martial arts training, I need an opponent Come and hone each other, so that we can benefit and grow faster."

"...Your Majesty, please forgive me for being ignorant and ignorant. I have never heard of such a strange thing among the people." Ling Xiao frowned and replied thoughtfully.

More than a month?How can it be?

"Ai Qing also thinks that is impossible?" The emperor chuckled, "I have already found someone to bring him. Eunuch Liu, pass it on to Qi Hong."

"Qi Hong sees His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ling Xiao looked at the boy upon hearing the sound.Even though he was well-informed and had seen quite a few talented youngsters in the martial arts world, he couldn't help being taken aback by this young man named Qi Hong in front of him.

According to the emperor, Qi Hong is about the same age as Su Huang, more than eight years old.However, this child was as strong as a bull, and was more than two heads taller than Su Huang.He bowed to the emperor and Su Huang with a sound like a bell, and he looked like a person with deep inner strength.Ling Xiao squinted his eyes and looked at the young man carefully. As expected, the young man's muscles and bones are extremely strong, his foundation is solid, his inner strength is deep at a young age, coupled with his unique body, not to mention Su Huang, who has only learned martial arts for a long time. Ling Xiao, it will take some effort to defeat him.

What is the emperor thinking?It was his own son who participated in the contest.

"Ling Aiqing, did you watch carefully?" The emperor smiled, "How about giving Aiqing fifteen more days to train Ah Huang to defeat him?"

Um?fifteen days?

Ling Xiao felt a chill down his back.

"Your Majesty...this..."

"Aiqing has many talents and abilities, so the fifteenth day shouldn't be a problem." The emperor interrupted Ling Xiao with a smile, "So is Ah Huang, don't let me down."

Su Huang bit her lower lip lightly, looked at the tall young man Qi Hong with a complicated expression, and said nothing.

"Since it is a holy order, my son... I will obey the will."

The emperor looked very satisfied when he heard the words, smiled and Lasuhuang got up and said, after a few words of comfort, he turned and left.

"...Fifteen days. Is Your Highness really sure?" Ling Xiao looked at Su Huang and couldn't help but sighed.

"Father thinks I can do it... then I'll show him." Su Huang's voice was as low as a mosquito, "Father, he didn't believe me before...he thinks so, maybe he started to trust my ability... Ling Xiao, we wasted all day yesterday, and we have to make up for it today..."

"...This is simply a fantasy." Seeing Su Huang's stubborn face, Ling Xiao's heart suddenly burst into an unknown fire, "This is an impossible task. You only need to practice swordsmanship for a few days. Where is that Qi Hong? He is obviously a trainer. This is not to let you prove your ability, this is clearly..."

What is it?

Ling Xiao swallowed the second half of the sentence violently.Because he saw that the eyes of Su Huang, who was usually stubborn to death, were a little red.

"I'm sorry... Your Highness, I didn't mean to yell at you..." Ling Xiao panicked.

"You don't understand." Su Huang smiled bitterly, "You don't understand how important father's approval is to me. He can do it, why can't I?"

"...I see." Ling Xiao sighed, stepped forward and patted Su Huang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't let Qi Hong hurt you."

"This is not what I want..."

"I know. I will try my best. Believe in me and yourself, okay?" Ling Xiao knelt down and gently held Su Huang in his arms, "It's my fault. I shouldn't put pressure on you anymore. You want Isn’t my Taifu just to preach and teach? I can’t even win a game, it’s nothing.” Ling Xiao chuckled, his tone was rare and gentle, “Go back and rest for a while, let’s start, okay? ?”

Su Huang nodded.

"Ling Xiao, we will do it."

The expected reply didn't come as expected, Ling Xiao sighed lightly, then bent down and patted Su Huang's shoulder.

"I said you...can you stop calling me by your name like this?"

"...Then what should I call you?" Su Huang asked suspiciously, "I don't want to call you Taifu Ling, and I don't want to call you Master Ling... If you are not used to calling you by your name, then...call you Brother Ling?"

Ling Xiao almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

"That's all." Ling Xiao blinked and smiled, "It's still the same. Brother Ling? Haha, I can't bear His Highness's claim. I'll go back and make some preparations. See you at Weiming Lake tonight."
