Chapter 13 Guard(1/2)
An hour later, Zhuo Feiyang challenged again, but as soon as he made a move, he was hit by a sword and his face turned gray and ugly.
This sword stabbed him in the shoulder and he could not do it again.
He gritted his teeth, with a livid face, turned and left without saying a word, even ignoring Suru and Zhao Ying, and walked away with his hands on his shoulders.
When Zhao Yinglin boarded the boat, she gave Chu Li a hard look. The hatred between Zhuo and Chu became even greater, and it was difficult for her to persuade him to make peace.
Chu Li smiled apologetically.
After he watched the boat disappear, he turned around and met Suru's smiling eyes.
Suru pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Chu Li, do you like Zhao Ying?"
Chu Li smiled.
Suru chuckled lightly: "It seems that she likes Zhuo Feiyang more. That's true. If you two stand together, Zhuo Feiyang will have an advantage."
Chu Li was silent.
Suru looked at him with a smile: "Zhao Ying seems to be quite popular."
"She is beautiful, gentle and kind, what man wouldn't like her?" Chu Li sighed, feeling melancholy that Zhao Ying did not like him.
"Do you think there's hope for you?"
"certainly!"
"I think Xuan!" Suru pursed her lips and chuckled, "Can you compete with Zhuo Feiyang?"
"..." Chu Li frowned.
Zhuo Feiyang is not only talented, but also handsome. He is more popular with women than himself. He does not deceive himself. He is indeed not as good as Zhuo Feiyang, and women like Zhuo Feiyang so much. He is full of masculinity and amazing charm. He is lackluster in front of Zhuo Feiyang.
.
"Are you discouraged?" Suru said with a smile, looking at him with bright eyes like water.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "I won't give up!"
"That's right!" Suru said with a smile: "It's not like you, Chu Li, to give up!... Do you want my help?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Suru smiled and said: "Don't believe I can help?"
"Thank you, manager!" Chu Li cupped his fists and bowed deeply: "Please help me, manager!"
Don't hesitate to ask for help when it's time to ask for help, and be willing to show off your face. Without this willingness to go out of your way, how could you possibly get a woman!
Suru giggled, laughed for a while and shook her head: "You men... it's true!"
Chu Li smiled sheepishly and said, "You can't just watch the woman you like being snatched away by another man, right? Besides, Zhuo Feiyang is not a good companion either. I can't watch Junior Sister Zhao jump into the pit of fire!"
"I still don't know what you are thinking?" Suru glanced at him and snorted: "You men think that you are the only one worthy of a beautiful woman, and you shouldn't be with other men!"
Chu Li chuckled twice.
Suru hummed: "Okay, I'm not joking with you, I'm here for serious business this time."
"Yes!" Chu Li's expression turned serious.
Suru glanced around and saw that Li Yue was not there. Only the two of them were standing by the lake, coming slowly. The lake was refreshing, empty and quiet.
"Can you grow fairy whiskers in large quantities?"
"If you're not afraid of destroying the land, no problem."
"Well, we need a large number of fairy whiskers this time, so plant them as soon as possible!"
"How many?"
"At least twenty acres!"
"Twenty acres!?" Chu Li frowned and looked at her: "These twenty acres of land will be ruined. It will take at least five years to recover!"
"Um."
"...It's best to plant it outside the house, and the more fertile the soil, the better."
"That's what I meant!" Suru chinned her head gently and said in deep thought: "This matter must be kept secret!"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Judging from Suru's expression, she knew that this matter could not be made public.
"There is a valley on the other side of Shiwanda Mountain. It is very hidden. If you go there and plant, the land there will be very fertile."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded without hesitation.
"This matter is kept secret and cannot attract attention." Suru shook her head: "But there can be no mistakes, so I plan to assign you a guard."
"One more person means more risk." Chu Li said: "I will do it myself!"
"What if something happens on the way!" Suru glanced at him and snorted: "Can you handle it?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, smiled, and looked in the distance in the direction where the boat disappeared.
Suru hummed: "Okay, let Zhao Ying follow you!"
"Thank you, manager!" Chu Li was overjoyed, cupping his fists and saluting.
"Hmph, this is what you wanted, but things are going to go wrong. You will be demoted to two ranks, and Zhao Ying will also be demoted to a handyman!"
"yes!"
"If you get into trouble when you go out, you know what to do, right?"
"Don't worry, manager, our identities will never be exposed!"
"You are smart!" Suru nodded with satisfaction. This matter was handed over to Chu Li as a test to see if he could handle it.
——
In the early morning, the south gate of the Duke's Mansion.
Under the bright sunshine, the two giant bronze lions seemed to come alive and would pounce at any time to bite people.
Zhao Ying was dressed in a lake-green robe, holding a maroon horse, and stood quietly next to a giant lion, staring at the door with bright eyes.
It was still early in the morning, and almost no one came or went in and out of the door. Her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly from time to time. This mission made her a little curious.
When she received the mission, the mission was to escort a person and operate in secret. She was not allowed to tell anyone, and she did not say who the other person was. She was only told to wait at the south gate in the morning, and someone would come to find her.
She was very curious and excited, and it was a rare opportunity for her to go on an outing.
I don’t know how many people will be on this mission, who will be escorted, maybe some high-ranking big shot. Only these big shots keep their whereabouts secret for fear of others knowing.
The Duke's mansion is powerful and famous, and its reputation is spread all over the world. However, these reputations are built on the heads of people. There are many enemies. Those martial arts figures are very bloody and will risk their lives for revenge. Once their whereabouts are exposed, they may be surrounded by a group of evil wolves.
.
She was just a ninth-grade guard, and it was her first time to participate in such a secret operation. She was inexplicably excited, her eyes brightened, and she waited for a long time without feeling impatient at all.
She suddenly saw Chu Li and hurriedly waved her little hand, signaling Chu Li to come over and leave quickly. There is no need to come over to say hello.
Although he was curious about why Chu Li was also holding the horse, as if he was about to leave the house, he couldn't care about it. He was focused on the person who was about to appear, and he didn't want to miss that person or leave a bad impression on the other person.
Chu Li led a bay-red horse and slowly came to Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying glanced around quickly with her bright eyes, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Chu, what are you doing!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Junior sister Zhao, who are you waiting for?"
"No one is waiting!" Zhao Ying said hurriedly.
This mission was confidential and could not be told to anyone, she kept this in mind.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed: "Are you waiting for me?"
"Nonsense, I'm not waiting for anyone!" Zhao Ying snorted and waved her little hand: "Senior Brother Chu, if you have anything to say, please tell me some other time, hurry up and do your work, I'll leave right away!"
Chu Li laughed.
Zhao Ying frowned and glared at him.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "Junior Sister Zhao, you are indeed waiting for me."
"Senior Brother Chu——!" Zhao Ying stamped her feet and yelled, her face turning red.
Chu Li said: "Your mission this time is to escort me!"
"Hmm——?" Zhao Yingming's eyes widened.
Chu Li nodded and said: "Yes, it is to escort me, a confidential mission."
"Really...is it really you?" Zhao Yingming blinked and pointed at him in surprise.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Is there a word "Li" in your mission book?"
Zhao Ying frowned and looked at him.
Chu Li said: "You have the badge of the Duke's Mansion, right?"
Zhao Ying nodded.
