away from the heart

Chapter 16
It is the season when the vegetation is luxuriant, the courtyard is lush and green, and a fiery figure is reflected in the emerald curtain.The girl was dressed in a red dress, dancing with a long sword in her hand like a swimming dragon. When she made a move, the flowers and leaves around her body were fixed in the air.

With a movement of the girl's figure, she took the move neatly.The long sword was put into its sheath, and the flowers and leaves scattered and fluttered down.There was applause from the side, and the old man laughed heartily: "Okay, okay! Nannie, you have mastered this ninth move—Pingsha Luoyan."

Su Nannan was overjoyed when she heard the words: "That's great! Then I'll go to the senior brother to compete. The senior brother said that if I beat him, he will agree to one condition..." A blush floated on her cheeks while speaking, She looks very delicate.

The old man laughed: "Struggle to win, but you are more diligent than your senior brother at your age."

Su Nannan stomped her feet: "Master, please stop praising me, how is it possible, my senior brother is so powerful."

"No matter how powerful a person is, there are times when they are ignorant. But... your senior brother probably doesn't have the time to compete with you now."

Su Nannan frowned when she heard the words: "Why, something happened to Xizhao again?"

"That's not true, this time, it's a good thing—" the old man stroked his beard, and replied slowly, "Your brother is married."

Su Nannan's hands trembled, she couldn't even hold the sword firmly, and the long sword fell to the ground with a clang.She tremblingly said: "Cheng... get married? When did it happen?!"

"Just two days ago, it was said that the emperor married a princess. You are practicing the ninth form in seclusion. I specifically ordered everyone not to tell you that you should not be affected by such mundane incidents as the top swordsman in Nansang... ..."

Before she finished speaking, a red shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and Su Nannan had already run away.

Chuyue stayed in Xue's mansion honestly for two days, and got a general idea of ​​the situation in Xue's mansion.In such a large Xue residence, only a gate in the front yard can lead to the outside.From the front yard, you have to go through a corridor to get to the back yard.There is a large garden in the backyard, and at the end of the garden is a woodshed, and beyond the woodshed is the back wall that few people visit.

The Xue family is not prosperous, and there are not many servants in the backyard. An old lady said that she went out of the city to worship the Buddha a few days ago, and took away a group of people.Now there is only one General Xue left. He is a hard-working and motivated young man. During the day, he either spends his days studying hard in the study in the front yard or fights and kills in the martial arts arena. It is easy to see no one.

Today is sunny and clear, which is a good day for traveling.Chuyue changed into Taoyao's clothes, the two carefully avoided the maids and mothers in the mansion, slipped into the firewood room, climbed a ladder out, and went straight to the back wall.

Chuyue stood under the wall, looking up at the high sky, very moved.After climbing over this wall, there is a vast world and great rivers and mountains in front of you.As if she heard the call of freedom, she couldn't help but put all her energy into it, set up the ladder, climbed up the wall, and happily greeted Tao Yao: "Tao Yao, come up quickly!"

Tao Yao ignored her.Chuyue lowered her head and glanced down, and she was so frightened that she almost fell off the wall: "Xue...husband, why are you here? The weather is very good today, especially at this high place, where the breeze is blowing, so it's very pleasant. Husband, do you want to come up?" Sit with me?"
