I am the sword fairy

Chapter 43 The old fox and the messenger

Li Chaoen said with a smile: "Don't deny it in a hurry. Someone happened to save you. You must be deeply moved by the grace of saving your life. It is said that the young man is handsome and as rich as jade... They must check it out, so as not to You suffered a loss and were deceived.”

Xiao Qing was ashamed and panicked. It was only that night that she found out about the past four worshipers of the Demon Supervisor. When she recalled the inexplicable encounter with the people from the Saibei Tang Sect before, she suddenly understood that she was probably "used" by her adoptive father. She was angry at the same time. I'm also thinking about a question.

How much does her adoptive father know about her and Song Yu's secrets...

"You are overthinking, he is just an ordinary friend!" Xiao Qing defended herself seriously and wrote lightly: "It was just a coincidence, a chance encounter, the life-saving grace is true, but the relationship between us is innocent..."

"You, this girl, was taken advantage of by your adoptive father once and became so vigilant?" Li Chaoen looked at her with a bit of helplessness in his smile, and sighed softly: "But it's not a bad thing, it shows that you are growing up."

"What...I can't just admit things that don't happen. I don't have anything to do. It would be bad if it affects others."

"You care about him so much, and you still say it doesn't matter. Tell me...what else do I don't know?" Li Chaoen's eyes were burning, and he looked at the girl he had raised since childhood with a wise expression.

Xiao Qing is smart, but too simple; kind, but also brave at heart.

To be honest, he was very surprised when he received the message from the four worshippers. The little girl actually dared to kill someone!
This made him feel a little bit disgusted, and he felt as if his juicy cabbage was about to be taken away by others.

At the same time, I am a little relieved that our daughter is a grateful person!

In order not to expose the boy's secret, she dared to kill people, then turned around and came back without a trace, without doing anything for the young man. He didn't believe it.

"I...I just gave him my token," Xiao Qing felt a little guilty, then immediately stood up and looked at Li Chaoen confidently, "A life-saving grace is beyond heaven, this is what you have taught me since I was a child!"

"No...you also gave him the token?"

The smile on Li Chaoen's face, which had been smiling all the time, gradually disappeared.

That expression was like an old father who was teasing his daughter about not being able to find a partner, but suddenly learned that his daughter really had a boyfriend...

"Ang!" Xiao Qing raised her head with a stubborn expression like "I'll give it to you, do whatever you want."

"I... this, damn... no, I have to tell Zhiping quickly. I asked him to go to Hanjiang earlier to find an opportunity to test the quality of this boy... You girl, why do you think you just let him go? The cards were given to him...what a child's play!"

As Li Chaoen spoke, he hurried out and muttered, "I don't know if it's too late."

Xiao Qing was stunned, followed from behind, and asked a little bit angrily: "What do you mean? You asked Sun Zhiping to test him?"

Sun Zhiping, the envoy who went to Hanjiang openly, was 27 years old, a sixth-level master at the peak of his dark power, and had won the top prize...

These are nothing, the key point is that it is not a secret in the Demon Supervision Department that this guy pursues Xiao Qing, who is almost ten years younger than him.

It's something that everyone knows very well.

Let him test the person who saved Xiao Qing's life. It's okay if he's ugly. If he's as tall as a jade tree facing the wind... then that's okay?
It may not be possible to take action, but regardless of his martial arts skills or status, Sun Zhiping can crush Song Yu!

Xiao Qing's face turned pale.

The adoptive father didn't want him to test Song Yu. He clearly wanted Song Yu to be hit... and retreated when the difficulties were encountered, right?
Li Chaoen, who knew he was in the wrong, explained with embarrassment: "How did I know that this girl of yours was already in trouble, just a few days ago? I can even give him my identity token! Hey, it's all my fault, I shouldn't let you out. .”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but get angry: "You want to marry my daughter, Li Chaoen, so what's wrong with testing him? If he can't get over this little ravine, then he doesn't deserve it!"

"Dad!" Xiao Qing stopped and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Li Chaoen had a headache on his face: "Hey, hey, don't be like this, dad knows that he was wrong, and he will make up for it right away. Hey, his grandma... how could this happen?"

If an outsider saw the appearance of the Grand Superintendent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Commander of the Forbidden Army, the General of the Guards of the Left Prison, the Grand Superintendent of the Demon Supervision Department...the appearance of this powerful eunuch, their jaws would definitely drop.

"It's definitely too late!" Xiao Qing's voice changed, "What are you doing!"

"Hehehe, you said it's nothing, do you think you are anxious? If one day my father and I are targeted and beheaded by the emperor, will you be so anxious?"

Li Chaoen was not in a hurry now. He put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Xiao Qing with a smile like an old fox.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If anyone dares to target you, I will chop off his head with one sword, and the emperor..."

"Okay, okay, good daughter, dad knows that you are filial and won't tease you anymore..."

Seeing that Xiao Qing was about to cry, Li Chaoen quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

"Your savior, how could dad be so imprudent? I scared you just now. I asked Zhiping to meet him, but it has little to do with you. After all... he is also the descendant of the benefactor who saved dad back then. I have been looking for him for many years. , but I don’t want to meet again in this way..."

Xiao Qing was stunned and looked at Li Chaoen blankly.

"But I still have to explain it again. It's best to let Zhiping bring him back to the capital. Hanjiang is a place of right and wrong!"

As Li Chaoen spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a peregrine falcon flew from nowhere and landed on his wrist.

The sharp claws were gently placed on it, restrained very wisely.

He glanced at Xiao Qing: "I'll write one, and you should write one too. Let Xiaoqing fly quickly. There should be no problem."

"Should I write?" Xiao Qing looked at him, "What should I write?"

"Write whatever you want. It's not like you don't know that Zhiping sometimes doesn't even listen to everything I say, but what you say... he will listen to." Li Chaoen said with a smile.

"Just write!" Xiao Qing turned around and returned to the room, picking up the pen and writing. Li Chaoen stood aside and watched with a smile.

Xiao Qing blushed and wrote in small regular script -

"Sun Zhiping, listen to me, that's the man I like. If you dare to bully him, I'm done with you!"

"Hahaha!" Li Chaoen laughed heartily: "This is our precious daughter, she must be so domineering!"

As he spoke, he threw out a small copper pimple from his body: "This time I went out, I experienced a lot of things, and my state of mind must have improved. Let's practice in seclusion for a while."

"You don't have to worry about that kid. He's just a copperhead. So what if he's hiding a big secret?"

"After all, it is a dead thing, but it can still cultivate immortality. What kind of immortality can it cultivate? Do you think my father's identity will care about this thing?"

"Practice with peace of mind. Maybe you can see him when you get out of seclusion."

Xiao Qing took it and said softly: "Thank you, dad."

Li Chaoen waved his hand, turned around and went out.

in the room.Xiao Qing looked at the small copper seal in her hand, her pupils gradually lost focus, and only that figure remained in her mind.

"He is so smart. Even without my warning, Sun Zhiping may not be able to take advantage of him. If he is really too self-righteous, he will definitely be in trouble!"

……

cold river.

Qi Wangfu.

King Zhao Dan of Qi was accompanying his envoy Sun Zhiping to visit his flower beds, gardens and birds.

Really bird.

All kinds, from golden eagles to hummingbirds.

Not to mention the former, the latter does not exist in the Southern Zhao Kingdom at all. This is a rare treasure sent as a tribute from foreign countries across the ocean!
The emperor specially sent people to serve him carefully all the way and sent him here all the way.

The flowers in the flowerbed are colorful and fragrant; the trees in the garden are lush and green.

Some fruit trees from the southern tropics can be seen here.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the royal gardens are not as rich as this huge greenhouse in Hanjiang City in Saibei!
Sun Zhiping grew up in a wealthy family and never lacked money. When he grew up, he was selected into the Demon Supervisor Department because of his excellent performance. Although his rank was not high, he was only from the fifth rank, but even in front of the first-rank officials, he never showed any weakness. .

However, the sight in front of him really opened his eyes. Even if he was hiding his thoughts, he had to express his admiration again and again.

"Your Majesty is truly the most wonderful person in this world!"

"Beautiful, so beautiful, as if I have entered a fairyland on earth!"

"I never thought that in this bitter cold land in the north of the Great Wall, you can see such beautiful scenery... This fruit must be found only in Qiongzhou, right?"

Zhao Dan stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like these. If Ambassador Sun likes it, I will ask someone to build you a greenhouse later, and send a few experienced gardeners to take care of it. No need. You worry..."

"Your Majesty has been demoted to an official position. This is absolutely unavoidable. I have been lucky enough to be able to feast my eyes on you. I don't dare to ask for more."

Sun Zhiping declined repeatedly.

He is tall, tall and tall, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome appearance.

There is an extremely strong spirit between the eyebrows.

In terms of dealing with people, he is personable and gentle as jade, and it is really difficult for people to fault him.

"The envoy Gu Jian seemed to be worried before. Could it be that he encountered some difficulties? If it's convenient... you can talk to Gu, maybe he can help you."

Zhao Dan said with a smile.

In fact, when he first met Sun Zhiping, he thought he was here to cause trouble.

He had a gloomy face, his brows were furrowed, and his whole body was filled with unhappiness.

But then I realized that it wasn't for him. Instead of saying he was unhappy, it would be more appropriate to describe him as distracted and worried.

It wasn't until I came to the huge greenhouse of the palace, saw the flowers, plants and trees, and listened to the chirping of insects and birds, that I felt relieved.

Sun Zhiping hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fist at Zhao Dan: "I really need to ask the prince for advice on something..."

"It doesn't matter if the envoy just says it!" Zhao Dan looked grand.

"You have been secretly sent all the way here. Your Majesty, you know that, right?" Sun Zhiping said carefully, and then immediately explained, "I have no other intention, I am just very worried about her safety..."

The prince Zhao Huan, who was always following the two of them and acting as a guest, heard this and subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Sun Zhiping's back. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, thinking, does this guy like Xiao Qing?
That is not true, is it?

If that's the case, if I invite Song Yu over to keep me company... wouldn't it be easy for something to happen?

At this time, Zhao Dan said with a smile: "So that's what happened. Since the envoy asked the question frankly, I didn't hide it from you. She is not a serious problem. That night, your Demon Supervisor also came with four people to worship her. Since it has nothing to do with the palace, Gu was No one was sent to inquire, but at this moment..."

He looked at Zhao Huan who was following him: "Is Miss Xiao still in the city?"

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "I have returned to the capital a few days ago with the four priests from the Demon Supervisor Division."

Zhao Dan looked at Sun Zhiping: "Envoy, you can rest assured!"

He was actually murmuring in his heart at this moment. Zhao Huan said that Song Yu saved Xiao Qing. The envoy in front of him... obviously also liked the girl. There shouldn't be any trouble at tonight's banquet, right?

Song Yu wasn't too worried, after all, he didn't know anything.

He was mainly afraid that the envoy would cause some trouble.

It’s not so much about fear, it’s mainly about being afraid of others.

But there is no reason to take back the invitations that have been sent out, and there is no such thing as doing things like that.

Huan'er said that although Song Yu was young, he was quick-thinking and eloquent. He thought... it shouldn't be a serious problem, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, Sun Zhiping said from the side: "There is a young handsome man named Song Yu in Hanjiang City? If it's convenient, could you please trouble the prince... to help arrange a meeting?"

In fact, he had known for a long time that Xiao Qing had followed the four worshipers back in advance, and he was still a little sad about this. He originally thought that he could go back with him... in a motorcade.

Although we are thousands of miles apart, we have plenty of time to spend together, but it is a pity...

The reason why he asked King Qi was, on the one hand, to explain his slight gaffe during the meeting; on the other hand, he also wanted to meet the young man whom the chief executive had personally told him.

He wanted to know what kind of person he was that could attract the attention of the chief executive who was thousands of miles away.

The key is that the young man named Song Yu... saved Xiao Qing.
