Death Princess

In the back garden of the Liu family, Wen Yihai and Wei Zhuoer, under the banner of "Liu Lu is inconvenient to expose her martial arts in the capital and needs expert guards", and the other under the banner of "Liu Lu is not familiar with the capital needs a tour guide", are Sitting in the gazebo, he looked at the direction of Liu Xiang's garden with great interest.The faces of the two of them were changed by Zhaolu with illusion, claiming that unless you look closely, even your own father would not be able to recognize them.

Wei Zhuoer looked up at the sky which was almost at noon, and smacked his lips: "It's really kneeling honestly. I have learned a lot since I knelt down at noon before dawn."

"That's not it," Wen Yihai gnawed on the melon seeds, "Old man Liu Xiang has put all the dissatisfaction with the three generations of grandchildren on her head. Miserable, really miserable."

"Indeed." Wei Zhuoer nodded seriously, "I just didn't expect that she would really kneel down so honestly. She can count five fingers of people who have kneeled seriously in her life. Over the years, she has kneeled down to me. I have only seen it once, and the impression is that the suzerain was in a hurry, and the aura was full, and a slap on the table frightened her so that she fell to her knees and didn't dare to move, just like in front of her eyes."

After thinking about it carefully, "For the rest, the owner of the valley is reluctant to let her kneel, and she is also reluctant to let her knees touch the ground. Therefore, when the owner of the valley is angered, she is usually chased by the violent wind and snow. Hiding behind the human-shaped stove. By the way," Wen Yihai said, "Where is your father? Uncle Wen is her master, has she ever knelt down honestly?"

"Naturally, I have kneeled down, although there were only two times when I was a teacher and when I was a teacher, the rest were basically run away by the thunder." Wen Yihai replied.

"From this point of view, Ah Lu's kneeling today is really worth a lot." Han Shuangxue sighed. "It's just that, in this capital city in the future, she won't be able to continue to protect that precious knee. The emperor, empress, queen mother, prince, prince... and Yi, Princess Changping and Princess Yong'an, smack, smack, think about me Knees hurt."

"It's as if you and I don't need it." Wen Yihai said sarcastic remarks, but his eyes stopped at the sky that was not so clear.

"...That's right." Wei Zhuoer sighed, "By the way, senior brother, what are you doing staring at the sky?"

"It is going to rain."

"rain?"

"Isn't there an unwritten rule? When kneeling, there must be heavy rain in spring and summer, but there will always be snow in autumn and winter." Before he finished speaking, a drop of rain fell on his nose, "Look, "Wipe the raindrops on the tip of your nose, "It's raining."

"Really." Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, Wei Zhuoer reached out to catch a few drops of rain, "It's raining."

"Let's go back to the house." Wen Yihai stood up.

"Well."

"Be careful of thunder." Wen Yihai took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned sideways to avoid the tree on the left.

"Ray?" Wei Zhuoer was stunned.

In the next moment, a flash of lightning followed by a thunderstorm exploded in the ears of the two of them, and the thunder and lightning split a gap in the branches beside them.

"Wow——" Wei Zhuoer opened his mouth wide, and took a few steps back away from the tree trunk with lingering fear, "Lei Gongxian sings and there is not much rain, so Ah Lu is lucky."

"The premise is that the thunder is really caused by God." Wen Yihai said coldly.

As the two of them walked forward, the rain started to rain on their back feet.

. . .

On the other side, at the gate of Liu Xiang's courtyard.Kneeling on the ground, Zhao Lu hid her right hand, which was still current, and chopped those two sarcastic talkers into coke in her heart.She squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky that seemed to have a hole, and after blowing away the raindrops trying to flow into her mouth, she let out a long sigh.

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Xiaoji on the shoulder jumped from the right shoulder with electricity to the left shoulder, and said in a voice that only Chaolu could hear.

"Aniang, it's easy for you to say, how about I give up my body to Xiaoji now, and we exchange?" Zhao Lu replied in her heart.

"I don't care. After kneeling left and right, it's not my leg that hurts." Liu Yanxue gloated a little.

"..." That's right, using the phantom thunder and spiritual power to actively give up the body is just sharing the senses and control of the body with the other party, so no matter how you change, you can't escape the uncomfortable feeling.

"Hey, you have the right to pay your mother's debt as your father's debt. This long knee should have been kneeled by your grandfather. My grandfather entrusted it to me, and I entrusted it to you."

"..." Since when, the word "long kneeling" can be described as "entrust"?

"However, grandpa's temper is still the same as before. We carefully prepared such a large truckload of things for you to bring, but it didn't reduce his anger at all." The thumb monkey sat cross-legged on Zhaolu's shoulders and said. .

"..." You can sit comfortably.

"Little Lulu, have you gained weight in the capital these days? Why do your shoulders feel soft and comfortable when you sit?"

"..."

Boom—another thunderbolt strikes beside Zhao Lu.

"Be quiet and don't be impatient. The more restless you are, the slower time will pass. Back then, in terms of kneeling skills, your father was hundreds of times better than you."

"..." This "kneeling" has become "gong"?

In the midst of the sarcastic remarks one after another like this, Chaolu stayed open until the sun went down and opened the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing the door open, Zhao Lu hurriedly stood up against the rain, but unexpectedly, her legs and knees gave way, and she forced the maid beside her who came to help her to the ground.The maid's name was Nie Qian, and she was sent by the queen.Was her name in the palace Jade or Grass? Zhao Lu felt nervous when she heard this, so she tried her best to trick her into the name her parents gave her before entering the palace, and decided to call her by her real name.

Nie Qian is indeed worthy of being a Queen's person. Since she came to Chao Lu, she has arranged things properly, repeating the written and unwritten rules of the capital, the Yang family, and the imperial palace back and forth in Chao Lu's ears every day. He insisted on educating such an "uneducated" scumbag like Chaolu into a young master of the capital who knows etiquette and advances and retreats.

From Nie Qian's point of view, Mr. Liu Ba and his group really deserved to be wanderers, and regardless of the way they never used sedan chairs to go in and out and rode horses in high spirits, it was just the habit of doing things by themselves that made Nie Qian like this. The personal maid feels that she is superfluous every day, even under the strong request of Hachiko, she is the only servant in this yard.She was not a long-winded person at all, but she became ear-piercing only because she had nothing to do.

The gate of Liu Xiang's yard was opened, and Nie Qian limped in with Chao Lu on her side. After helping Chao Lu to kneel under Liu Xiang's hands, she walked out of the house and yard, and closed the door.

"Sit down." Xiang Liu said without raising his head.

Chaolu didn't move.

Liu Xiang raised his eyelids.

Zhao Lu seized the opportunity to raise the tea that Nie Qian re-brewed just now in front of Liu Xiang: "Grandfather, please drink tea."

Liu Xiang squinted his eyes, which made the corners of his eyes full of wrinkles even more.He didn't reach out, and Zhao Lu didn't stop. The "grandfather and grandson" just stared at each other motionlessly.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the rain outside the window seems to have stopped.

Liu Xiang took the teacup and squinted his eyes: "Your arm is quite strong, and it hasn't shaken after holding it for so long." He said this nonsensically, but he didn't know what the meaning was.

"..." Zhao Lu understood the source of her mother's poisonous words.

Seeing Zhao Lu's slightly aggrieved expression, Liu Xiang smiled.He strained the tea leaves with a cup lid and drank the tea.Putting down the teacup, nodded: "Not bad, just brewed?"

"Yes." Zhao Lu said.

"It seems that the maid next to you is quite clever, Queen?"

Chaolu didn't answer.

Liu Xiang smiled again. He put the teacup on the table, and pointed to the chair opposite: "Why, I've finished the tea, do you still plan to continue kneeling?"

"...Thank you, grandfather."

"Be careful, don't knock over the desk."

"..."

After seeing Chao Lu carefully sitting on the chair, Liu Xiang looked at this strange "grandson" seriously.After a long time, he sighed: "Tell me, why did you come here? It's impossible for your father to suddenly realize that the old man in the capital and I need to visit, right? I know the temperament of him and his wife. Don't say anything, but people are very stubborn, once you decide to leave completely, even if the sky falls, you won't come back."

The old man smiled and smiled, but suddenly he couldn't laugh anymore, his eyes became a little cloudy: "It's better to leave, so as not to hate each other. Besides, the identity of his wife..."

Chaolu's heart skipped a beat.

"What?" Liu Xiang noticed keenly, "As an old man, you really don't know what's flowing on your body? Otherwise, why do you think I would insist on peace?"

Now that you know it, it's easy to say.Zhao Lu thought to herself.

Zhao Lu was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Liu Xiang suddenly changed his mind: "Forget it, you young people's abacus is left to you to figure out, don't tell me to listen to me, it will save me from worrying. No matter how hard you try, you should not be uprooted. Besides, the other two sons of the old man are not fools. Judging by your performance today, you are also a smart man. The Liu family will provide you with a place to live and eat. You can watch the rest. Let's do it."

After being stunned for a while, "...Thank you grandfather." Zhao Lu stood up and bowed deeply.

But Liu Xiang seemed to be displeased with this scene, and waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and go back to the house. I guess it won't be long before the Empress Dowager's edict will come to call you into the palace."

"...Yes." Zhao Lu saluted again, and slowly stepped back out of the room.

As soon as she stepped out of her front foot and turned around, she heard that very weak voice: "If there is only one thing I regret in my life, I should say that I lost my granddaughter. Therefore, I don't want to lose my granddaughter." A grandson. Ah Lu, do you understand?"

Chao Lu froze.She turned her head slowly, only to find that Liu Xiang had lowered her head and wrote something on the desk, as if she had never said the words just now.She took a deep breath, and after answering in her heart, she walked out of the courtyard.

Great-grandfather, I will be fine, and I will not let the Liu family be in trouble.

Stepping out of the courtyard, Zhao Lu found that the rain had completely stopped.She was walking aimlessly in the back garden, recalling what Liu Xiang had said, and worried about Leng Tong's condition.

Suddenly, Xiao Ji, who was hiding in his sleeves, jumped out and ran towards Liu Xiang's courtyard without saying hello.Looking at Xiao Ji who disappeared in a flash, he smiled at Lu, very cryptically.

No granddaughter... No, great-grandfather, your granddaughter is still alive, she is alive and well, she is very happy.She just... can't appear in front of you.
