Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 314 Rumors (5)
He looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, with a soft smile on his lips.

"My father always said that my mother dotes on me, but sometimes my mother is stricter than my father." He stared quietly at the fire in front of him, "During the six months in the cold palace, my mother taught me to be self-reliant. I am used to fine clothes and good food, and I was not allowed to get used to the life of clothes and food. She wanted me to learn how to survive in any adversity. So all the food we ate during that time were vegetables grown by my mother and me. And... the birds and beasts that occasionally fly by."

He looked down at the slingshot in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips.

"I was weak and slow in practicing martial arts when I was young. At that time, I didn't know how to do it lightly. But my mother asked me to catch a bird every day as food. She broke off a branch and made this slingshot for me. Let me Use a slingshot to hunt birds. My mother raised all the birds I shot down, then trained them, and finally released them, let me shoot them down again with a slingshot... and later, she would cover my head with a cloth Eyes, let me hunt by hearing...until I learn light work..."

He turned the roasted rabbit over, and his jade-like face looked more and more psychedelic when the firelight reflected on it.

Ling Xihan pondered, noncommittal about the queen's education method.But from this point of view, the relationship between Xiao Tingxuan and the queen is very good, so why...

"When did the relationship between you and the queen begin?" She suddenly asked such a question.

Xiao Tingxuan pursed his lips, suddenly a cold air radiated from his surroundings, his eyes were gloomy and unpredictable, and his fingers tightened subconsciously.Ling Xihan sensed sensitively that he was angry, very angry.This anger is mixed with pain and regret.She suddenly remembered that time at the Jingxin Lake, when Xiao Tingxuan faced Ouyang Chen, he was also cold and angry.A person as graceful and calm as him can show his emotions so much, she doesn't believe that the conflict between the two of them is all about belonging to a city without worries.Among them, there seems to be a constant connection with the Queen.

Just as he was thinking, a fat rabbit leg appeared in front of his eyes.The fragrant smell brought her back to her mind, and she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Tingxuan.

"Eat." Xiao Tingxuan's expression was calm, his phoenix eyes were smiling, as if the person who fell into the ice and snow for a moment just now was not him.

Ling Xihan raised his eyebrows and took it, but swallowed the words when it came to his mouth.She intuitively thought that if she asked that question, not only would she not get an answer, but she would also make him angry.

The two ate quietly, and the sound of cracking branches could be heard in the fire, and the surrounding wind was blowing slowly, and it was quiet and peaceful.Suddenly, the sound of the wind became louder, and there was a gloomy and cold atmosphere in the forest.Ling Xihan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Xiao Tingxuan also sensed the danger around him.He still looked calm, his eyes as calm as water.Slowly raising their eyes, they were surrounded by countless black masked men, all holding long swords, with bloodthirsty and cold eyes.

"It seems that he really spared no expense."

Ling Xihan frowned, always feeling that the "he" Xiao Tingxuan mentioned didn't seem to refer to the right minister Zhao Linfeng.

Without time to think, the leading man in black ordered coldly.

"Kill!" The man in black instantly raised his sword and stabbed at the two of them, Xiao Tingxuan remained calm and calm.When the long sword pierced his eyes, he suddenly moved.His hands, fingers perfect as artistic sculptures, swept across the fire.Just in the blink of an eye, the scorched charcoal turned into a remnant soldier and a sharp sword flew towards the man in black like a meteor of fire, and then screams were heard.Ling Xihan looked up and saw that dozens of people had fallen to the ground and died tragically.Suddenly his waist tightened, and Xiao Tingxuan had already pulled her back a few steps away.At the same time, with the power of the palm, sand and rocks flew away, screaming again and again.

Ling Xihan swung around in his arms and kicked back the chests of the men in black who were facing him.The moment it landed, the damask in the sleeve flew out like a dragon, sweeping across a large area.

The leader in black squinted his eyes, his eyes full of fear.And the long silk in Ling Xihan's hand had already come in front of him.The man in black was startled, and quickly raised his sword to meet him.

During this period of time, Ling Xihan took time to practice martial arts every night, and her martial arts skills have improved greatly compared to when she just traveled here.It's just that the leader in black is also a first-class expert, after several rounds of fighting, Ling Xihan gradually struggled.

Over there, Xiao Tingxuan was trying to test the black-clothed killer, but saw that Ling Xihan was somewhat defeated.Frowning, the jade flute in his hand suddenly burst into sharp light, and all the men in black around him were hit by the green lights, screaming and falling to the ground dead.With a wave of his hand, his True Qi flowed out, blocking the oncoming assassin in black.Pointing to the ground, he flew up to catch Ling Xihan who was repelled by the leader in black.Hitting the black-clothed leader with a palm, the black-clothed man stepped back quickly before standing still.

Xiao Tingxuan put Ling Xihan down, looked down at her slightly pale face, with worry in his eyes.

"Stand here and don't move around." After finishing speaking, Ling Xihan dodged away, only to see a white figure passing through the black-clothed crowd like lightning, followed by incessant screams.One by one, the men in black fell to the ground and died, even breathing was unnecessary.And Chi Lian, who was hidden in the dark, had already joined the battle with his hidden guards.

Ling Xihan was slightly surprised, this guy's martial arts has improved a lot.

During Xiao Tingxuan's killing with extreme rage, most of the group of people in black were dead in an instant, and the leader of the black clothes looked in horror at the man in white clothes who looked like a fairy but killed people like hemp.The face hidden under the black cloth became paler, no wonder the master was so afraid of Xiao Tingxuan, he did not expect his martial arts to be so high.

After a moment of distraction, his eyes became colder.He suddenly made a strange gesture, and eight masked men in black suddenly landed behind him.They each occupied one side and formed an array to trap Xiao Tingxuan.

Ling Xihan frowned, and just as he was about to walk over, he saw the hidden guards brought by Chi Lian also quickly set up an array to fight against the man in black.

Xiao Tingxuan's hidden guards were all elites, and their martial arts were slightly better than the men in black, but those men in black seemed to be endlessly killed, and they died batch after batch.If this continues, the hidden guard brought by Xiao Tingxuan will sooner or later run out of energy and die.

She frowned tightly, and before she could think of a good way, Xiao Tingxuan had already escaped from the shackles and came to her side.

Ling Xihan looked sideways and saw that he was paying attention to the battle ahead, thoughtful.

"Why does Zhao Linfeng have so many hidden guards?" All of these people are highly skilled in martial arts, and the number is astonishing.Zhao Linfeng is only a prime minister, how could there be so many hidden guards?

Xiao Tingxuan looked indifferent, "It's not a hidden guard, it's a dead soldier!"

Ling Xihan's eyes shrank, and coldness surrounded his eyes.
