When is it time for mandarin ducks to say goodbye?

Chapter 42

The nuns passing by were stunned with flushed cheeks when they heard this, Wei Xianyuan coughed lightly, pulled his belt and said in a low voice, "Let go first!"

"I do not!"

"...How about this, let's go back first, I'll get you something to eat, okay?"

This sounded reasonable, Wei Young loosened his belt, but still prevented him from sneaking away, watching him with eyes full of wariness.

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Wei Xianyuan shook his head while walking, placed the little girl in the house, and told Shun'er: "Go buy food for the young mistress, buy whatever is delicious, and take the money."

Shun'er reached out to take the money, and looked at her master in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Wei Xianyuan raised his eyebrows: "Is there a flower on my face?"

Shaking his head, Shun'er smiled and said: "No, I just think the master is really nice to the young mistress."

"That's right, I'm kind." After waving him away, Wei Xianyuan went into the room and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Du Weiyang looked at him with his chin propped up, and asked curiously: "Why did you focus on the position of the commander of the imperial army as soon as you came?"

"Either you can't do it or you have to become a big one, isn't it good?" Wei Xianyuan asked carelessly.

"Good is good." Wei Young said: "But I heard from my father that there are many military generals in the court who need to be replaced, and the commander of the imperial army is the most tiring position, and the responsibility is heavy. If you don't pay attention, you will implicate your family."

"You're scared?"

"That's not true." Blinking and looking at him carefully, Wei Young half-jokingly said: "I always feel that you seem to have some plan."

The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, Wei Xianyuan curled his lips, motioning for her to come over, and then said mysteriously: "You have seen all this?"

"Yes, yes, my intuition is very accurate!" Wei Yang raised her tail: "Quickly tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I think so." Wei Xianyuan stroked his chin and said, "First get the champion of martial arts and change it to a military position, then climb all the way up to the position of the commander of the imperial army, and then approach the emperor—"

Taking a breath, Wei Young stared at him: "And then!"

"Then?" With a chuckle, Wei Xianyuan stretched out his hand and gave her a brain crash: "Then ask him to marry the princess to me."

Full of anticipation and fed the dog, Du Weiyang rolled her eyes and sat back on the stool: "You don't want to say it, I'm not a fool!"

"You'd be happy if you were a fool." After taking a sip of tea, Wei Xianyuan said with a smile, "The less you know, the longer you live."

Humming twice, Wei Young didn't want to discuss the topic of fools with him anymore, she rolled her eyes and asked him again: "Then what if you don't get the champion of martial arts?"

Wei Xianyuan raised his eyebrows: "You have no confidence in me?"

"There is a contingency in everything." Wei Young said earnestly: "Tomorrow's competition will be things like marching soldiers, are you good at it?"

After thinking about it, Wei Xianyuan said, "It's not like I'm good at it or not. I've read military books, but I haven't actually fought."

"Isn't that bad?" Wei Yang slapped his thigh, and said: "I heard people say that Shen Ting came back from the border and went to the battlefield! He has more experience than you, how did you win?"

"That makes sense." Wei Xianyuan nodded, "Then I won't go tomorrow, shall I?"

"Hmm...what?" Wei Young almost fell off the stool in fright, and looked at him angrily: "How can you lose without fighting! What I mean is to let you sharpen your guns before the battle, and just read books if you have no experience!"

"Put it down, I've seen everything I need to see in this mansion." Yawning, Wei Xianyuan said a little sleepily, "Tomorrow just happens to be a bad day, so it's safer for me to stay in the mansion."

Not a good day?Du Weiyang's ears perked up, and he immediately took out his divination tools from the cabinet next to him - a turtle shell, six ancient coins, spread them out on the table, and started thinking like a witch.

"What are you doing?" Wei Xianyuan looked at her with disgust.

"Don't make noise!" Shouting at him, Wei Young calculated the divination with sincerity, looked at the divination carefully, thought for a while, and said: "This house is short of gold, there is a disaster."

What's the mess?Wei Xianyuan never believed in ghosts and gods, so he just glanced at her and said, "I'm going to sleep first, if there is any disaster, you can come and extinguish it."

If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, who is afraid of whom?Wei Young snorted, looked at the hexagrams, then looked around the house, clapped her hands and called Yan Zhi to come in: "Copy guy!"

Yan Zhi understood, cleaned out the tools brought along with the dowry, and went to the backyard with Wei Young with the lamp.

"Since entering this mansion, it seems that the hexagrams have never been better." While chopping wood, Wei Yang muttered: "It's either a bad hexagram or a normal hexagram, and there is not even a shadow of an auspicious hexagram. But Fengshui is not bad."

A simple bow and crossbow can be done in two strokes. The strings are self-contained, strong and strong, and an arrow can pierce through human flesh.Satisfied, Wei Young shot an arrow towards the outside of the courtyard wall.

"Uh!" A muffled groan, the arrow seemed to hit someone, Wei Young was startled, and hurriedly said: "Ranzhi, go and have a look!"

Rouge moved extremely fast, but when she chased her out, she only saw bloodstains on the ground, not even a human figure.

"Master." Frowning slightly, she said, "You should go back to the house first."

"No, it's not finished yet." Wei Young kicked the semi-finished product under her feet: "Although many of them are half-made at home, it will take an hour to finish all of them and install them. Hey, this string seems to be loose. A bit..."

While talking, she adjusted the bowstring again, took the arrow and put it on. After thinking about it, she was afraid of shooting someone again, so she shot towards the roof.

As a result, when the arrow hit the roof, the tiles on the roof clicked.

"Eh? Did you shoot the tile?" Wei Yang stared: "Impossible, if you go up from this angle, you have to fall into the front yard anyway, how could you fall onto the roof?"

Rouge frowned, and flew up to the roof to look again. The bright red blood flowed down the tiles, but she still didn't see anyone.

"Master." She said in a deep voice, "You might as well shoot around the courtyard wall to see if there is any movement."

"What's happening?" Wei Young was at a loss.

"I saw a few wild cats, and I don't know when they came in. They are black and not easy to catch." Yanzhi said calmly, "You startle them, they are easy to catch."

As soon as the words fell, there was sudden movement around, Wei Young shuddered, rubbed the goose bumps on her body and said: "You have alarmed them."

"Isn't it?" Yan Zhi sneered, and immediately shouted: "Catch the thief!"

After all, it was the General's Mansion, and the reaction of the Household Nursing House was very quick. The surrounding lights gathered little by little, encircling a few black shadows so that they leaped up to the roof.

"Wow." Wei Young looked dumbfounded: "Such a big wild cat?"

Yan Zhi pushed her into the room: "Big Lynx, leave it to the servants to catch, you rest first."

The door was closed, Wei Young looked dazed, and was about to open the door to take another look, when Wei Xianyuan's voice sounded from behind: "Is something wrong?"

"I don't know what's wrong." Turning her head, Wei Young gestured to him innocently: "I was trying out the bow and crossbow I just made, and the few arrows I shot seemed to hit people. Thief, it's getting lively outside."

After hearing her finished speaking, Wei Xianyuan's jaw dropped, he stared blankly at her for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha——"

The laughter shook the ashes on the beams of the house, Wei Yang wiped her face, very confused: "What are you laughing at?"

After lying down on the soft couch and laughing for a long time, Wei Xianyuan finally took a breath, wiped the crystal tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked her: "Have you ever heard of a martial art called Turtle Breath Dafa?"

"what is that?"

"It's just to assassinate a target. When it's dark, they wear night suits and lurk around the target. They hardly breathe and don't move. Even a master like me can't detect their existence. Once the target relaxes their vigilance, they will Release the misty smoke, and let people set foot on the road to hell in their sleep."

With a chill behind her back, Wei Young said in fear, "It's too cruel! But what does it have to do with what happened tonight?"

"Fool, do you really think there are thieves outside?" With a snort, Wei Xianyuan opened the window.

Wei Young stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look, and saw a man dressed in jet black had been caught by the guard, Yan Zhi was standing beside him, calmly telling the butler what had happened.

"Could it be possible..." Responding, Wei Young blinked and looked at Wei Xianyuan: "I made a mistake and shot the man in black who was resting like a tortoise?"

"That's right!" Wei Xianyuan patted her head as if to praise her, and said with a smile, "You did a great job tonight, otherwise maybe something really happened."

A little dazed, Wei Young nodded and sat down on the soft couch, pondered for a while and felt something was wrong: "Who wants to kill you so much?"

"There are a lot of people who want to kill me, but those wild people rarely break into the general's mansion." Wei Xianyuan lay down and said casually, "I did enough homework tonight. You don't want to know where they are coming from." , wash up and sleep early."

How can anyone say half of this?Wei Young was very upset and grabbed his clothes and refused to let go.Wei Xianyuan ignored her, and directly picked her up and stuffed her into the bed: "Don't let me go and I will lie next to you."

Thinking of what happened before, Wei Young blushed, let go of her little hand and looked at him bitterly.

Wei Xianyuan pursed his lips, lay down on the folding bed, pulled the quilt over and turned sideways, facing the window and closing his eyes.

The cold wind was blowing outside the window, carrying a faint smell of blood, blowing all the way from the general's mansion, blowing over the corners of the fleeing man in black.

"Failed?" The person behind the curtain was inconceivable: "Didn't you say you never failed!"

"There are many traps in the general's mansion, and the target is too vigilant. Tonight, I accidentally startled the snake. If I want to do it again, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while." The man in black lowered his head, took out the order and handed it back to him.

Reaching out to take the piece of paper, the person behind the curtain frowned and crumpled the order into a ball.

After a good night's sleep, Wei Xianyuan went out to participate in the second selection test early the next morning.Since there are still things to be done, Weiyang doesn't plan to join in the fun today, and invites Xianyu to come over, intending to add some "gold" to the yard.

"Don't you care about the result of the elder brother's competition?" Wei Xianyu looked at Wei Young curiously and said, "It's very lively outside. All the big banks are raising their bets early in the morning. If you win again today, elder brother will be the champion of martial arts."
