Sixteen years later.
On the afternoon of early autumn, in a large courtyard, three young women are sitting under a big tree to enjoy the cool. They are all very beautiful, but they are different. The woman sitting by the door is green and white. Her face is as calm as water. She wipes the thin blade in her hands in silence. The soft sword is very sharp.
The woman in red on her side is very different from her. Her scarlet dress makes her face beautiful. There is a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows. She is as red as fire. She sits tall and straight, her eyebrows are valiant, and her whole body is full of noble spirit. By contrast, the woman in white around her is much more lazy, holding her chin in one hand and tea in the other. She has calculation in her cat like eyes She said, "sister Chen, sister Ning, in a few days, it will be my 16th birthday. You No indication? "
The woman in red looked at her and asked, "what do you want?"
"Oh, it's your intention to give anything. How can you let the birthday star ask for any gift?"
"Mind?" Yan Ning frowned, but quickly replied, "it's simple."
Seeing that she did not ask any more, Su Su felt a little anxious, and the words changed: "but I'm so understanding that I won't let my two sisters worry. I'll try my best to ask for it. "
Knowing that she had something to ask for, Yanning said with a smile, "say it."
"Cough." After coughing two times, Su Su raised his voice and said, "I want to..." The ending dragged on for a long time, and there was no next sentence for a long time. Yan Ning's face was impatient: "say!"
Su Su put out his tongue and said, "I want the bright pearl of the night."
Yan Ning frowned: "what do you want it for?"
Su Su laughs and doesn't answer. The man sitting on one side wiping his sword coldly says, "I'm afraid it's the night pearl in the army room. I want to find it to make up the number." There is a place in Su family's military room where flint weapons are developed. It is not allowed to be near the fire. The dazzling night pearl is much brighter than ordinary night pearl. It is the best place for lighting.
Su Su blushed and said, "where is it?"
Lou Chen slightly raised his head and glanced at her. Under her cold eyes, Su Su turned her lips and didn't have to refute.
It turned out that she was in trouble again. Yan Ning was funny: "you have eighteen lotus steps, and you are afraid of being skinned by your aunt."
Speaking of the eighteen lotus steps, it is really the unique lightness skill in the world. It's faster than a flying bird. It's like a startling goose. With one glance, the figure can fly out tens of feet away. It can lift its breath and jump up the ladder without any help, reaching more than ten feet.
She really wants to run, so I'm afraid she can't catch up. I really want to thank her mother Gu Yun for her unique skill. As the only daughter of the Su family, Su Su has never been afraid of anyone. Even the emperor's uncle, who is high above, occasionally dares to talk back. Only one person needs to hum. She immediately droops down like a mouse meets a cat. But this girl has not been a clever person since she was a child. It is absolutely impossible for her not to make trouble and be lazy. From childhood to nature, she must be repaired by Gu Yun. Because of Gu Yun's superb sword technique and amazing endurance, she is not good at lightness skill. In order to avoid Gu Yun, Su girl's other Kung Fu is mediocre. She has no leisure at all. She has been practicing lightness skill hard. Since she was 12 years old, Gu Yun has rarely been able to catch her in anger.
It's like Now, louchen and Yanning just feel a flower in front of their eyes, a white shadow flashed by, leaving only the tea cup on the table, which was thrown down in a hurry, still turning around, where there is Su Su's shadow. When they looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly. Needless to say, it must be my aunt. Sure enough, there was a low voice outside the door: "Su Su --"
no matter how fast you run, you will be punished. After 30 laps of frog jumping in the school yard, Su girl moved back to her room with her legs shaking like a sieve under the pity of all the people. She stayed in bed for two days and finally ushered in her 16 years old Birthday.
In the boudoir room, I always lie on the bed. Even if there are people in the room, I can't get up.
"I don't want the night pearl." Yanning was playing with a night pearl the size of a fist. Even in broad daylight, she could still see its light brilliance. There was no need to say that in the night.
The man on the bed gave her a white look, turned over and hummed, "no, it's all a meal. What do you want it for?"
A white hand suddenly stretched out. Su Su looked at the brocade box in front of him and sat up happily. He couldn't wait to open it. There were more than ten dark green pills lying in the brocade box. The faint fragrance was refreshing. Su Su's eyes brightened: "Nuanxin pill?! Sister Chen is the best! "
In order to cure Lou Xiyan's body, Zhuo Qing devotes herself to studying traditional Chinese medicine and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Her medical skills are getting better and better. Lou Chen has been smart since she was a child. Under her influence, her medical skills are not inferior. She occasionally makes some pills to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, relieve pain and promote muscle regeneration. It's a good thing for Su girl, who has to be cut from time to time.
Lou Chen lightly returns a way: "save to use."
"I know what I know." Su Su said as he put two pills into his mouth and chewed them.
Yan Ning shakes her head. She has been in pain for several days. It's good to bear it. She even eats two. Is that saving? Anyway, Lou Chen doesn't say anything, spoils her, and Yan Ning doesn't bother to say anything about her. She hands out a rectangular box.What's that? Su Su was a little curious. When he opened the box, it turned out to be a map made of cowhide.
Maps are really rare. If you change them to ordinary people, they can be regarded as precious things, but they have no attraction to Su Su. There are many kinds of maps in Su Su's family. Su Su threw the map back into the box and asked, "sister Ning, what are you doing with the map?"
When she took out the map and spread it on the table, Yanning's eyes fell on a certain part of the map. Her eyes were burning. "You're bored in the capital all day. Don't you feel bored?"
"Of course it's boring." Looking at the map on the table and Yan Ning, Su Su finally got up, supported her chin and said with a smile, "sister Ning, do you think of something funny?"
Yan Ning raised her head and said with a mysterious smile, "why don't we make a bet?"
"What's the bet?"
"It depends on who can find a treasure with his own ability. It's a year. We'll compete this time next year. "
"A year? This is running away from home?! My mother has to skin me. " Su girl's mouth said so, but there was a little excited light in her eyes.
"Do you want to bet or not?"
"Bet!" In one word, the girl's fear of chaos in the world is fully displayed.
Yan Ning looks at Lou Chen, who is sitting in silence. Lou Chen is always paralyzed and doesn't talk much, but her mind is very sharp. Yan Ning seems a little nervous, "what about you?"
Lou Chen glanced at the map on the table, and then at Yan Ning. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "good."
On the third watch day, the Imperial City shrouded in the night was quiet and cold. The three figures ran all the way to the wall, jumped up, climbed up the wall, jumped up again, and then fell outside the wall. The city wall, which was more than three feet long, was nothing to them, so their martial arts were extraordinary.
The three men stopped after running for ten years.
"One year."
"Take care."
After a few words, the three heads did not run back in three directions.
Yan Ning ran all the way forward, but she apologized in silence. Chen, Su Su, I'm sorry. I have to go to that place. Only by cheating you out and dispersing the energy of my family can they take me back so quickly. Forgive me, forgive me!
Compared with Yanning's eagerness, Su girl is much more leisurely. She wants to see the magnificent scenery of the sea, so she naturally chooses Donghai. When she has enough fun, she can visit uncle Ao on Juling island and ask for a treasure by the way. Maybe she will win a year's appointment!
Lou Chen's eyes were cold, his face was dim, and his steps were calm. Ning had just gone to the west, so Let's go further. How about Liao Yue?
Three people, three minds, in any case, their journey started.
"The three of them ran out like this. Are they really not afraid of danger?" Tall City upstairs, a few shadows standing there quietly, looking at the three people gradually away, Qingfeng still some worry.
Zhuo Qing looks very relaxed: "it's so big, it's nothing to go out for a walk."
Thinking of his daughter's lazy nature, Su Ling whispered: "do you want to send someone to protect you secretly?"
"No way." Gu Yun cold voice with a bit of pride, "these years, they have learned a lot of skills, a door also need protection, like what."
"That's true." Zhuo Qing and Qingfeng think about it, but they also nod. During the conversation, the three slender figures completely disappeared in the night, and the women on the tower turned away, leaving the three men in a dilemma. After all, they were their precious daughters.
"Do you really care?" Su Ling and Lou Xiyan look at Yan Hongtian at the same time. He is the king and they are ministers. Naturally, they listen to him. Yan Hongtian shook his head, mouth Yang Yang, back: "this is family, according to reason, Xiyan is a big brother-in-law."
Su Ling doesn't care to turn to see Lou Xiyan. Anyway, he doesn't need to make a decision and take the blame.
Lou Xiyan's long and narrow black eyes narrowed slightly, and his warm voice said: "ladies only say that they can't protect in secret, but they don't say that they can't 'monitor' in secret."
Is that ok?
Lou Xiyan deserves to be Lou Xiyan
Ten days later.
There were three people on their knees in the huge assembly hall of the general's mansion, their resolute faces full of shame.
"The end will be incompetent. I Lost Princess Ning in the wind forest of Heishan. "
"The end will be incompetent, shut Miss Chen to lose in the room door."
"Mo Jiang is incompetent. He lost Miss Su in Maocheng."
The brows of the three men in the main position wrinkled, then slowly loosened, and their faces were a bit proud. Lou Xiyan raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth: "it seems that We underestimate them. "
