Zhu Ying took out two knives from her pocket and handed one to Ding Zhu. "Take it!"
Ding Zhu stood still. He was a member of the Fourteenth Prince. He obeyed the orders of the Fourteenth Prince. He was not a handyman for this woman.
"Why are you standing there? Hold it?" Zhu Ying urged him with a smile. The smile was so bright, but Ding Zhu felt more and more panicked.
Zhu Ying smiled with a knife hidden in her face and continued, "You are a man, don't you want to repay the favor I gave you just now?"
Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.
"I am not a servant!" Ding Zhu made his attitude clear, "I am a member of the Fourteenth Prince."
Zhu Ying concealed her smile and said sharply: "I know you are the son of the Fourteenth Prince, but you are also a man, right? If you are a man, you should have a man's responsibilities. If you eat for free and don't work, your prince is like this
Did I teach you that?”
Sure enough, she had planned everything, and she had planned it since last night. Ding Zhu's cold face couldn't stand up, and turned slightly red, but he still retorted, saying: "Yes, you made me eat it!
"
"Yes, I asked you to eat it. Now I want you to spit it out, completely." Zhu Ying emphasized the word "completely".
"..."
Ding Zhu could only sigh that he was unlucky and reluctantly took the knife.
"That's right!" Zhu Ying put on a bright smile again. She pointed to the white flower bones on the top of the branches and said, "Help me pick off all the flower bones on the tree. Remember, you must not hurt the branches.
, the sap of this five-hundred-year-old King of Hell tree is so poisonous that even the gods of Da Luo cannot save it."
Ding Zhu wanted to quit, but Zhu Ying said: "I don't like to talk nonsense, but Su Lan is a big mouth. By then, everyone in Biancheng will know that the Fourteenth Prince will not keep his word."
Crap."
Ding Zhu had no choice but to raise his spirits, and he jumped up onto the branches and walked among the branches to pick flowers.
Zhu Ying looked at his graceful figure under the tree and praised: "What a skill!"
Ding Zhu naturally knew that his martial arts skills were not weak. He thought about how powerful it was when he and Ding Yi led the shadow group to take the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops, just like picking out objects from a bag. But now he was being commanded by a little woman. If
If the brothers find out, I'm afraid they will laugh out loud.
Unfortunately, he couldn't resist her.
Zhu Ying arranged the task for Ding Zhu and started to work herself. She wrapped her hands with cloth strips, took a knife and began to carefully peel off the tears of the king of hell on the tree trunk one by one and collected them in a bamboo tube. Because it was necessary to
She was very careful, even if there were only a dozen or so, it took Zhu Ying more than half an hour to collect them. Ding Zhu had already picked the flower buds and was waiting for her. Seeing how careful she was, he couldn't help but look curiously at the strange tree in front of her.
.
Zhu Ying finally spent some time collecting a jar of slurry before packing up her tools and preparing to go down the mountain.
She no longer treated Ding Zhu with courtesy, and completely regarded him as her follower. She pointed to the basket on the ground and said: "Carry it on your back, let's go!"
Ding Zhu "..."
She really didn't regard him as an outsider.
"I walk slowly, and the city gate will be closed when I walk slowly. It doesn't matter if I sleep outside for a night. When Xu Mubai saw that I didn't come back, he would come looking for me with gongs and drums. I'm afraid he will drive your master out by then.
.”
Zhu Ying has now grasped Ding Zhu's weak spot and has him well. As expected, Ding Zhu's face turned blue and he obediently carried the basket on his back. He didn't believe that Xu Mubai could do anything to win over the prince, but he couldn't let the prince either.
Worried, Xu Mubai was asked to harass the prince.
Ding Zhu carried a basket and went down the mountain with Zhu Ying one after another. This was Zhu Ying's original intention. She wanted to get some tricks out of Ding Zhu's mouth. Although she knew that her method would not work, she still wanted to try it.
Try it, maybe the blind cat will encounter a dead mouse...
The road became much smoother after leaving Heigou Village. Zhu Ying deliberately slowed down and waited for Ding Zhu to catch up with her, but Ding Zhu was a stubborn person and always kept a distance from her. She didn't expect that he, a martial arts practitioner, would be so like this.
He is pedantic and unable to break through the shackles of ethics and education. He always adheres to the distinction between men and women and refuses to overstep it.
Zhu Ying had no choice but to let him follow her five steps behind her, but she still had to ask: "What kind of person is the Fourteenth Prince? I don't think he is easy to get along with."
Although Zhu Ying didn't want this husband, she was still full of curiosity about him. Her husband was full of magic. Every time I heard Mr. Shu talk about his victory over the Huaca Mo soldiers, he would praise him as a god descending to earth.
, omnipotent, which also aroused her desire to know what the people around him really thought of him. Her understanding of him was limited to hearsay, and most of these rumors were spread by rumors, and there were countless rumors.
Ding Zhu kept his mouth shut as always, lowered his head and hurried on.
Zhu Ying had expected that she would not get the answer so easily and didn't care. It was strange that Ding Zhu replied to her words, but there was no point in rushing on like this. She continued to ask: "What do you think of your princess?
"
Ding Zhu didn't answer, but there was disdain and contempt in his eyes.
Zhu Ying didn't see Ding Zhu's expression, but she could also imagine his expression at this moment, how kind he could be to an enemy's daughter.
"Actually, she is not as bad as you think. She has no choice but to do so." Zhu Ying portrayed the image of her victim, and first infiltrated her pitiful image into the enemy, so that if her identity was exposed one day, it would be better for them.
She is no longer so hostile to herself, but then again, in this gifted marriage, not only Zhao Yu but she is also a victim.
Ding Zhu did not express any opinion.
"She is just a chess piece. She was abandoned by her father since she was a child. She is also a pitiful person." Zhu Ying's eyes got a little wet as she spoke.
Ding Zhu finally spoke coldly.
"know?"
The sharp question made Zhu Ying suddenly realize that she had said the wrong thing.
"Isn't this... just hearsay? There are many versions of the storyteller? I just think she must have been a poor person when she married Prince Chun."
Ding Zhu said: "It's unbelievable!"
"That's true, that's true. You can't believe it, but you can't completely disbelieve it!" Zhu Ying added meaningfully.
The voice was very soft but Ding Zhu, who practiced martial arts, could hear it clearly. His eyes became sharp and he looked at the smaller person walking in front of him. He couldn't see clearly this Doctor Zhu. No wonder the master was always interested in her.
reserved.
This time, Zhu Ying lost interest in talking. The two of them walked in tandem for more than an hour and finally saw the city gate.
There was a long queue at the gate of the city. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were questioning people entering and leaving the city one by one, especially those entering the city. It seemed that something had happened.
Ding Zhu took two steps and rushed behind Zhu Ying, protecting her closely.
The two followed the crowd to the checkpoint, and the soldiers guarding the city routinely asked: "Where are you going?"
"Kimotodo!"
The guard raised his head and glanced at her. Zhu Ying immediately pointed to the basket behind Ding Zhu and said, "I went out of the city to collect some herbs. There are not enough herbs in the shop."
Ding Zhu's head lowered, as if to attract other people's attention
Although Mubentang has declined, it is still very prestigious in Bian City. The soldiers guarding the city waved their hands and let them pass. The two of them had not taken a few steps when they were stopped again: "Wait!"
The person who stopped them was a guard. His eyes swept over Ding Zhu's body. He looked suspicious when he saw Ding Zhu walking calmly and with scars on his face.
Ding Zhu retracted his hands into his sleeves and grasped the weapon, ready for a fight. He told Zhu Ying in her ear: "If you are caught, they will say that I am a bandit who kidnapped you."
Zhu Ying knew that a secret guard like Ding Zhu must have a lot of hidden weapons hidden on his body, and once searched, the secret would be revealed. She tightened her sleeve with her right hand and held the jar of collected Hell Tree sap. If she couldn't avoid it, she could only use it to make a weapon.
There's a fake plague.
At this time, a gruff aunt's voice shouted: "Girl, good girl, it's really you!"
Zhu Ying looked up and saw that it was the aunt from Heigou Village that morning. The aunt said to the dark, mountain-like guard: "Mountains, don't be rude. This girl is the benefactor from that morning."
The aunt said to Zhu Ying: "This is my son, Li Dashan."
Guard Li Dashan immediately put aside his official authority and saluted with clasped fists.
"Thank you girl for saving my life."
Zhu Ying smiled sheepishly. She really didn't want to save anyone at that time, she just wanted to get rid of a troublesome person.
The aunt's face was filled with joy. She took Zhu Ying's hand and said, "Where do you live, girl? I'll give you some red eggs tomorrow. My daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for me."
The aunt was laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. Li Dashan was also rubbing the back of his head and giggling.
Zhu Ying is a good person. When she saw that the other party's identity might be useful in the future, she immediately climbed up the barrier.
"Brother Li, why is the interrogation so strict? What happened?"
Li Dashan looked around to make sure there was no suspicious person and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I just received the order suddenly. There was no clear explanation from above. Anyone who looks suspicious will be arrested."
Zhu Ying widened her eyes and asked, "So strange!"
Ding Zhu looked serious.
Li Dashan glanced at Ding Zhu and said: "Brother, don't go out these days. If you are seen, you will definitely be put in jail. By the way, there will be a curfew at night, so you two should go back first."
After hearing this, the aunt quickly urged her, saying: "Yes, yes, yes, go back quickly, go back quickly!"
Zhu Ying and Ding Zhu said goodbye and were about to return to Mubentang. Li Dashan stopped them again and said, "I'd better let Ergou escort you two back."
With that said, he called a soldier next to him to give some instructions.
Zhu Ying and Ding Zhu were escorted by soldiers back to Mubentang. Along the way, there were soldiers in small and large groups. When they saw suspicious people, they stopped them for interrogation. Many passers-by with fierce looks were also detained.
Back at Mubentang, Zhu Ying saw Su Lan standing at the door anxiously waiting for them to come back. As soon as she saw Zhu Ying, she rushed to them and shouted to Ding Zhu with a arrogant look: "What are you doing?"
What did my young lady do? Why did you come back so late?"
She could not be cruel to the young lady, so she could only vent her dissatisfaction on Ding Zhu.
Ding Zhu looked at a loss and could only sigh: Women in the world are all in the same troubles. The master is like this and the slaves are like this.
