Qingchuan History

Chapter 126
With the extremely exaggerated tone and the meaningful smile on his face, Ruan Xueyin naturally received it all.Regret arose, and she didn't think about what to say for a while, but she heard Gu Xingmo speak lightly, with a coolness in her childish voice:

"My brother has been weak since he was a child. Mr. Zhang said that he needs to recuperate in a place with fresh air and few people, so he has been living in the Xiling Palace. The so-called homework is just some basic skills that don't take effort. Sister-in-law Pei just said about learning classics, The basics of the book of war, even the martial arts of riding and shooting, but where do you start? I ask myself, I don’t have the ability to learn so many skills.”

Ruan Xueyin was inexplicable when she first heard these remarks; after a little thought, she finally understood, squatted down, and looked at Gu Xingmo at the same level,

"I don't know exactly what you have learned in Xiling, and how many skills you have. What I said just now did not come from secret inquiries, nor was it a face-to-face interview. It was just a natural judgment based on your speech, behavior and bearing. "She looked at him seriously, with a calm tone,

"Your Highness, if you don't want people to know something, the best way is to remain calm and keep silent. If I wanted to test you just now, if you deliberately explained, questioned and even denied it, it would be tantamount to admitting in disguise. No matter how old you are, you will understand better when you have the experience of talking with real knives and guns. In many cases, the best response is no response."

Chunfeng didn't know what the two of them were talking about.Gu Xingmo's sudden attack is strange, what is Ruan Xueyin doing now?Teaching on the spot?

But there was one thing she reacted to:

Xiao Mo has been living in Xiling, claiming to maintain his health, but in fact he is secretly receiving a full set of training in Wen Tao and Wu Lue.She didn't quite understand why this matter had to be carried out quietly, but after Brother Jiu explained it, she followed it, and it was a good thing for Xiao Mo after all.

She is the older sister of Gu Xingmo's mother, and every year before the autumn hunting, she would come to the palace early to accompany him, so she naturally knew the truth.But other people, even the eldest sister and a few brothers, don't know about it.The most puzzling thing is that every time the autumn hunting starts and the princes and generals come to Xiling, most of Xiao Mo's homework stops.

He only reads some books in moderation every day, and does not hunt with his brothers. The reason is that he is not in good health, and he has not achieved much in riding and shooting.

This is of course a lie.He is nine years old this year, and he has been able to shoot twenty arrows in a row and the arrows hit the bull's-eye.She seems to have asked Gu Xinglang why she kept it a secret in the early years, and she has forgotten how the other party answered.In short, there is no definite reason, just let her keep it as a secret.She is not interested in anything other than gossip, especially what Gu Xinglang planned——

In her opinion, there are only two words: complicated and boring.

As time went on, she was no longer curious.Just keep it a secret.

So here comes the question, how did Ruan Xueyin know?
So at this moment, she only answered Gu Xingmo's question earlier, and understood Ruan Xueyin's answer at the same time.

Gu Xingmo didn't expect the other party to be so direct, direct and frank.He looked into those clear eyes, subconsciously said: "But I really want to know if you have inquired secretly, how can you not ask?"

Ruan Xueyin smiled: "Before attacking the opponent, you must first be sure to protect yourself. You may not be able to get my words out of me, but you have really exposed yourself. Conversation is different from martial arts, and moves can be dismantled back and forth. What you say can’t be taken back. Fortunately, this time it’s just a trivial matter. If you accidentally reveal the big secret in the future, unless you kill the other party, it will be irreparable.”

"Then I should not respond just now, neither admit nor deny?"

"That's right. After all, Chunfeng has already interjected, and you won't appear rude if you don't speak. If you doubt me, you can go back and make plans, or even tell Brother Ninth to let him decide. It's better than talking recklessly just now."

After all, he was still a nine-year-old child, he was a little convinced, and then wondered: "Why did you teach me this?"

"Because you look smart and worth teaching."

She smiled brightly, showing a bit of childishness.The childish smile appeared on that incomparably beautiful and indifferent face, blending with an extremely pure beauty, even Gu Chunfeng was dumbfounded.

I don't know if brother Jiu has seen it.

The six masters and servants walked the meadow for a long time, passing a large luxuriant camphor forest, but did not take the forest plank road, but passed through a barely noticeable path between two sections of mountains.

Move sideways and walk in the dark mountain crevice for a while, when the sky shines again, Luling will appear in front of you.

The road was led by Gu Xingmo, and Yunxi praised:

"Following His Royal Highness Xing Mo really saved a lot of leg strength. The two times we came a few days ago, we traveled all the way over the mountains."

Chunfeng raised his eyebrows: "Huh? You guys walked through the camphor forest and walked from the mountain?"

Yunxi glanced at Ruan Xueyin, nodded in agreement.

Ruan Xueyin didn't take it seriously, "Since we're here, we have to take a look at the scenery everywhere. Standing on the edge of the camphor forest and looking at the entire mountain depression, it's quite magnificent."

"The scenery of Xiling is unique, and it is well-known in the entire Qi State." Chunfeng nodded, quite proudly, "Hey, didn't the sister-in-law also see that hut?"

Ruan Xueyin reacted for a moment and replied: "I saw it. It was said to be the former residence of the prince during the war. It was a little far away, and there were soldiers guarding it within a few miles, so I didn't go there."

Chunfeng curled his lips: "At first there were no soldiers guarding it, only someone went there regularly to take care of it. Didn't it start last year? Ji Wan—Mrs. My fiancée, the relationship is different after all, "

She spoke eloquently, but she didn't see Gu Xingmo rolling her eyes one after another.

"From the first day, I got into the hut, every day until the end of the autumn hunting. The col is already at the westernmost point of Xiling, and it is connected to the Nine-colored Deer Ridge. Hunting is prohibited in this section, and few people come. The same is true for the mountain col. Brother Jiu was worried about her safety, so he sent people to protect her."

She frowned, dissatisfied: "Xiling is so big, there is only Xiaomo on weekdays, and the manpower is small. Every autumn hunting, I have to bring a bunch of people from Jidu, and I have to send a team of soldiers for her. Don't you think it's the eldest lady's style? She's definitely going to eat Brother Ninth!"

Speaking of this, she suddenly felt inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Of course, this moment and that moment, after all, it was all in the past—" She was taken aback, then stopped again, "Oh no, there are still so many people there this year keep it?"

When Yunxi first heard her mention Ji Wanling, she felt that it was not good. Sure enough, the more she talked, the more she got angry, and quickly continued: "Mrs. You should be careful with the guards. We walked this way, if we didn't choose the trail deliberately, there would be soldiers stationed along the way."

Gu Chunfeng nodded again and again: "That's right, it's just following the rules, sister-in-law—"

After she met Yunxi's eyes, she turned her head to explain to Ruan Xueyin, but why was the other party still by her side?
