Young man, please stay

Chapter 24 Searching for the missing girl
  "The princess and the current emperor..."

Qin Lang stared straight at Su Yinping's face and muttered hesitantly:

"They are actually twins..."

"?"

Gu Jin frowned in confusion:

"What are...double turrets?"

"Huh? It's twins, not twin turrets, it means twins."

……

The empress who looks like Su Yinping...

Qin Lang looked at the white and tender tofu in the basin and imagined it for a while with chopsticks in his mouth. Not to mention, he could still imagine it a little bit.

"From what Miss Sumire said, it means that Princess you and Your Majesty just have different temperaments, and their physical appearance and so on... are exactly the same?"

"Um…"

Su Yinping's pretty face turned red and she crossed her legs:
  "Roughly the same…"

In fact, the bodies of the two sisters cannot be said to be exactly the same. They still have their own advantages in some places...

And excluding these unspeakable things, the appearance of the sisters, Princess Qingli and the current Holy Emperor, is indeed carved from the same mold.

……

Not to mention not feeling it yet, after knowing that the royal Su-style sisters were twins, Qin Lang looked at Su Yinping again, imagining her graceful appearance in pink skirt and silver shoes when he first met her. When he placed it in the Golden Palace, it seemed that they really matched. Be worthy of the image of a queen.

But the specific temperament is hard to say.

If she is the kind of gentle and gentle little woman she is now, then even if she wears a dragon robe, she may be more suitable for the role of a queen than an emperor.

"By the way, Princess, the Holy One doesn't know you are coming out this time, right?"

"Originally, but now..."

"Yeah, that's right, you should know by now."

After all, the Blood Knife Sect was once one of the twelve sects in the Jianghu, and the news of its annihilation will definitely spread throughout the country before long.

The clues about Princess Qingli will definitely reach the emperor's ears early.

"I guess she should send someone to find me now..."

Su Yinping suddenly felt a little depressed. When he goes back this time, his sister will definitely find someone to watch him, and maybe send "Ben Lei" to the house. By then, it will be difficult for him to run out and enter the world again.

unless…

Unless she becomes stronger herself.

Take this Blood Knife Sect incident for example. Although the main reason was that the other party was too cunning and cunning, and even Gu Jin miscalculated, if he was strong enough, at least his injuries would not be so serious, and he might even be able to help Gu Jin. The gang was eliminated on the spot.

In this case, there is no need to trouble Qin Lang, alarm the state capital, and alarm my sister. This series of chain reactions...

"Qin Lang."

"Ok?"

"I have recovered from my injury. Can I practice some external skills?"

"Practice..."

"Yes, I usually use knives more, and I want to practice knives."

Practice swordsmanship…

Qin Lang looked at the pear knife Su Yinping placed in the corner, thought for a while and asked:

"Princess, do you have any sword skills that you use regularly?"

"Yes, it's called..."

Su Yinping was about to speak, but suddenly covered her mouth. She immediately exchanged glances with Gu Jin, then pursed her lips and said:
  "What I practice is called "Wandering Dragon Slash""

"Wandering Dragon Slash..."

Listening to the name, Qin Lang could understand Su Yinping's reaction just now.

It was probably also a secret skill that was not passed on to others. If it had the word "dragon" in it, its origin might be related to the royal family. After Su Yinping hesitated, he still told himself the name. Qin Lang was actually somewhat moved in his heart.

Trust is such a magical thing.

Everyone has feelings. Whether your trust in others is respected or others take the initiative to express trust in you, it is a very touching thing.

"Okay, if Princess You's injury has almost recovered, you can simply show off your current sword skills, and then... um... let's not give you any advice, but my senior sister also taught me some sword skills, I can See if there's anything I can do to help you."

----------

Qin Lang helped check Su Yinping's wounds that day. What made Qin Lang envious was that the scabs on her shoulder sockets were relatively soft. After they fell off, as Su Yinping, he could find some good ones. Once you apply the ointment, the wound will basically look like it never existed before.

The reason why Qin Lang envied this was because the wound could recover like this, which was undoubtedly related to the existence of internal strength.

With Su Yinping's strength, although her internal strength level was not much higher, Qin Lang was still a dwarf in front of others.

Qin Lang felt it for himself, and found that the "water vapor" in his Dantian was only a little bit thicker than it was a few days ago.

This level of internal strength is completely unlike someone who has practiced martial arts for more than ten years.

But what can I do? Anyway, let’s do this for now.

……

In this case, it really doesn't hurt to play with the sword a little bit.

But forget it for today, it won't be too late to get up early tomorrow and practice again. Today Qin Lang asked Su Yinping to have a good rest, have a good sleep at night, and drink a bowl of hot horsetail tea before going to bed.

As for Qin Lang himself, he was originally planning to recharge his batteries and get up tomorrow to experience Su Yinping's sword skills.

As a result, Qin Lang suddenly woke up from an inexplicable panic at around the fourth watch of the night.

"?"

Ghost on the bed?
  Qin Lang thought that he didn't sleep on the bed either. He rubbed his eyes and looked around, and was surprised to find that there was one person missing in the room.

Gu Jin was missing on the straw mat under the window sill in front of the stove.

……

In fact, for so long, Su Yinping asked Gu Jin to sleep with her on the bed many times, but Gu Jin refused. The bed was too small, and the stubborn girl in black always slept on the straw mat like Qin Lang.

Su Yinping was actually quite concerned about this. The reason why he squatted at the end of the bed to sleep last time was because he wanted to show that he was "equal" with others. Of course, Qin Lang and Gu Jin persuaded her to go to bed.

……

Now Qin Lang tried to look on the bed, and sure enough, Gu Jin was not in bed either.

So where did this guy go in the middle of the night...

Speaking of which, she was a personal guard. She was always elusive and an assassin. She didn't need Qin Lang to worry about walking at night in brocade clothes.

But the situation is different now. She is away from home in Qingzhou, living a simple and simple life with Qin Lang. Qin Lang really can't think of any reason for her to run out in the middle of the night, so she still feels uneasy after all. Heartbroken, he got up and went out to find her.

squeak-

As soon as he went out, Qin Lang immediately guessed why Gu Jin went out.

I saw that there was only one purple horse tied to the horse-tethering post at the door. Because it was very relaxed, it did not sleep standing up, but slept soundly on the ground.

And the other little white horse, Zhen Ji, is no longer there.

Based on the situation in the past few days, Qin Lang guessed that it was probably because Zhen Ji was restless in the middle of the night that Gu Jin woke up again to comfort her.

At this time, a man and a horse should be wandering nearby.

"Miss Sumire——"

Qin Lang looked under the locust tree for a moment. If there was nothing there, he walked further towards the back of the house and shouted in a moderate voice.

On the one hand, this level of sound would not wake up Su Yinping in the room.

On the other hand, Qingniugang is not big, and there is silence in the middle of the night. If Gu Jin is there, it will be enough for her to hear her call.

However, when he received no response, Qin Lang saw no one again, so he decisively changed direction and glanced at the foot of Qingniugang. He really discovered that under the moonlight, the water of Chijiang River was flowing quietly. Beside, in the dark woods, a snow-white figure flashed vaguely.

"Zhen Ji...?"

Seeing the little mare, Qin Lang ran down Qingniugang in a hurry, took three steps and then five steps, and got into the woods. Before he could call out, he saw a girl sitting on a stone by the river. Above, he looked at himself blankly.

"Miss Sumire! Why are you here?"

"you…"

The girl's thin lips parted slightly, and for a moment she even thought she was hallucinating.

How did he...

"Girl Sumire."

Qin Lang looked around and didn't see Zhen Ji nearby, indicating that this place should be some distance from the position he just saw from a height.

"What's going on with you?"

Qin Lang walked up to Gu Jin and could see through the moonlight that Gu Jin's expression was not very good.

"You're not sleeping...how did you find yourself here..." she muttered softly.

"I woke up suddenly and found you weren't here. Let's see if you came out to take care of Zhen Ji again."

"Zhen Ji... doesn't really listen to me, she only listens to Madam..."

Gu Jin took a deep breath, looked at the Chijiang River flowing quietly behind her, and said quietly, word by word:
  "An hour ago, she seemed very restless... I woke up and followed her... all the way to this forest, and then she... ran away by herself. I called her... but she didn't come back..."

"Wait."

Qin Lang caught some blind spots in the girl's words:
  "Have you been here an hour?"

"..."

"No, if she doesn't come back, why don't you go find her yourself?"

"..."

Gu Jin blinked her eyes and said nothing, but Qin Lang clearly saw that her ears that could not lie began to turn slightly red again.

"You...uh..."

So Qin Lang narrowed his eyes:

"Miss Sumire, are you... afraid of the dark?"

"..."

She still didn't speak, and then stared at Qin Lang angrily.

Ok…

I have to say, this guy looks really good when he's angry...

Qin Lang cursed in his heart, then observed the color of her ears and ruled out the possibility of being "afraid of the dark".

Also, as a personal guard, you should not be afraid of anything but the dark. After all, assassins and other shady threats often occur at night. How can you protect your master if you are afraid of the dark?

woohoo-

While Qin Lang was guessing, a string of unknown owl calls suddenly sounded in the originally quiet atmosphere, and soon there was a "squeaking" sound among the trees and grass leaves.

At this time, Qin Lang clearly observed that the delicate body of the girl in black sitting on the stone seemed to tremble...

"..."

As a result, Qin Lang suddenly had a new guess in his mind.

call--

A gust of dark wind blew, the leaves in the forest rustled, and a huge black shadow bared its teeth and claws in the night. Qin Lang saw a certain girl's expression and body tense up instantly, and finally spoke:

"Miss Jin, did you take what we said when we were chatting about Zhen Ji seeing dirty things seriously...?"

"..."

Gu Jin stopped glaring at Qin Lang. She swayed her long ponytail and turned her head slightly. She still didn't speak, but her ears became pink as expected.

Qin Lang was a little amused, and then he seemed to hear a snort nearby.

"Don't move around here. I'll find Zhen Ji first."

He turned around and was about to lift his legs when a few more owls whined in the forest.

"?"

Then, Qin Lang felt his body stagnate slightly. When he looked back, he saw the girl in black still sitting on the stone with her head tilted. She didn't look at herself. She only stretched out one hand and used the tips of her thumb and index finger to squeeze. He grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly.
