Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 73
Anticipating that her house would be searched, Su Jingning had asked Nianyu to put Shen Lingze's cloak in Fenghe Garden in advance.

At this time, let her go to fetch it again.

Su Jingning and Shen Lingze divided the guest of honor and sat down, and Nianqing served tea in a timely manner.

Thinking about what happened in the afternoon, Su Jingning asked, "Why did the prince suddenly come to the mansion with Taoist priest Shouzhenzi today?"

Shen Lingze replied: "I put eyeliner nearby, and I reported the situation of your house from below, so I asked Master to see if I could help."

Su Jingning smiled and thanked.

She just said, why did Shen Lingze come by such a coincidence to save his grandfather.

She asked again: "Is it the prince's idea that the Taoist chief asked me to do odd jobs at his place?"

Shen Lingze nodded and said: "In this way, Miss Su can go out at will, and things will be much more convenient."

Su Jingning nodded.

She is a girl's family, and she can't go out if she has no business on weekdays. This is an excellent excuse.

Shen Lingze thought everything through.

She thanked again.

The two talked about the three foreigners who were under surveillance.

"It's Chinese New Year recently, they haven't gone out all the time, and they don't know how to contact the outside world, but there is no movement at all." Shen Lingze was a little puzzled.

Su Jingning thought for a while and asked, "Are there any carrier pigeons?"

Shen Lingze shook his head: "My subordinates are very strict in monitoring, not to mention carrier pigeons, even an ant can't wait to check it carefully."

Su Jingning asked again: "Then what do they do with their daily meals?"

Shen Lingze said: "There are vegetable farmers who regularly come to deliver vegetables, but I also checked that they are only ordinary people."

"What about the house? Have you checked whose name it is in?"

Shen Lingze said: "The house was rented by someone they found themselves, and there is nothing wrong with the owner of the house."

Su Jingning couldn't help thinking.

The other party was indeed very cautious, and he didn't miss a single trick.

She thought for a while but didn't have a clue, she raised her head and said, "Can you take me there to have a look?"

Shen Lingze thought about it, nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't bother to check it carefully last time I went there, and I am planning to go there again."

He felt that Su Jingning was very smart, and he might be able to see something if he went there.

He pondered for a while and said: "After the new year, when you go to my master's place, let's go there."

Su Jingning agreed.

At this time, Nian Yu also came in from outside holding a cloak.

Shen Lingze looked at the sky, it was late.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Su Jingning.

"A few days ago, I met the third son of your mansion in Zangyage, and accidentally learned that your birthday is today, so I prepared a gift, thank you for helping to carve the chapter a few days ago."

Su Jingning was a little surprised at first, and then smiled after hearing the words: "I am in a cooperative relationship with Shizi, and helping me is also helping me. I should do my best in this matter, Shizi really has a heart."

Shen Lingze didn't answer her words, but said: "Miss San can open it and have a look, maybe it's what you need."

Su Jingning thought about it and was no longer polite, she took the things and said with a smile, "Then I would like to thank the prince."

The box was only the size of a book, and it was not heavy in her hand. She opened it curiously, and inside lay a palm-sized crimson hand crossbow, and three small arrows beside it. sharp edge.

Su Jingning's eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up the crossbow and looked carefully.

This hand crossbow is made of a combination of wood and iron. It is small and exquisite, with smooth and natural curves, and it looks very good.

The more she played with it, the more she liked it, and she was reluctant to put things down for a while.

Shen Lingze's mood improved when he looked at her bright eyes, "I saw you hung a crossbow on the wall, so I thought you might like it, and this thing can also be used for self-defense, it is a more practical object."

Su Jingning looked at the wall in her room, and there was hanging the small golden crossbow given by her father before, but she didn't expect Shen Lingze to notice it.

She nodded with a smile and said: "I really like these very much, but it's a pity that the one on the wall is a flower stand and can only be enjoyed, but the one given by the prince is very good."

She said thank you again.

Shen Lingze nodded slightly and introduced: "The three small arrows next to it are used together with this hand crossbow. It's a pity that in order to pursue lightness and compactness, part of the power and range were sacrificed. This arrow can shoot about ten steps away."

Su Jingning was already very satisfied, and said after hearing the words: "It's very good, it's suitable for me, no matter how big it is, it won't fit on my body."

Shen Lingze also smiled, and picked up an arrow in the box to show her: "This kind of arrow is called a three-pronged arrow, and it is more lethal than ordinary arrows."

Su Jingning carefully took it over and looked it over, and saw that the entire arrow was flat, with a sharp blade in the middle, and small knives protruding outward on each side, which looked very dangerous.

"Would you like to try?" Seeing her ready to move, Shen Lingze asked.

Su Jingning nodded immediately, she was really interested.

Shen Lingze didn't procrastinate when he saw her smile like this, first explained how she loaded the arrow, then explained the mechanism of the mechanism, and personally shot an arrow on the door panel as a demonstration.

When he pulled out the arrow, Su Jingning looked at the small hole and shuddered. If it was used on a human body, she would suffer.

"You do it!"

With that said, Shen Lingze handed over the crossbow.

Su Jingning took over, quickly picked up an arrow and stuffed it into the crossbow, aiming at the door panel activated the hand crossbow.

"Tuk!"

The arrow flew out with a whoosh and was firmly inserted into the door panel.

With an excited smile on Su Jingning's face, she hurried over to pull out the arrow.

It's just that the arrowhead was inserted deep, and the body of the arrow was somewhat smooth. She tried hard but couldn't pull it out, but her face turned red.

Seeing that she couldn't even pull out an arrow, Su Jingning was a little embarrassed, so she couldn't help but increase her strength.

Seeing that she had been fighting with Zhijian, Shen Lingze walked over to help her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, Su Jingning used too much force, and the arrow was suddenly pulled out. She took the arrow and fell backwards suddenly.

Shen Lingze subconsciously caught him.

A faint warm fragrance immediately rushed into his arms, and both of them froze.

Although it was already severe winter, the house was very warm with a brazier, so Su Jingning was so angry that she only wore a piece of padded clothes, and she could clearly feel the two hands supporting her under her body.

She stood up abruptly, and said at the same time as Shen Lingze: "Thank you! (Sorry!)"

Both of them pretended to be nonchalant and smiled, but actually they were a little uncomfortable.

Su Jingning is not shy or anything, it's just that it's very awkward to be so close to another man for the first time.

Shen Lingze was not much better, the incident happened suddenly, although he could still maintain his composure, the tips of his ears were glowing red.
