Madam General, please run slower.

Those stories about wild goblins and monsters that people had long heard tired of hearing in the teahouse were once again popular. It was still the same old storyline, but it was related to the Ninth Princess after she woke up from her foolishness.

There are also some rumors that the little princess was able to wake up thanks to the general, and that she was sent by God to bless General Yu Xun. The two statements are equally powerful and there are many different opinions, but they all agree on one thing: the little princess was no longer a "human" after she woke up.

The so-called spirit in the crowd was leisurely practicing darts in the yard. However, her darts were small stones found everywhere on the ground, and her target was the Dark Guard Sixteen who was marked as being within the escape range.

After hearing the gossip outside, the servants in the west courtyard began to think about going to work in other courtyards.

The housekeeper agreed to their request with Yu Xun's tacit consent. Soon, Chunmei was the only servant in the West Courtyard. Chunmei was also punished by Jiang Wan for being responsible for the food for the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, and she could only lie on the bed to rest for the past few days.

Li felt much more relaxed without the servants, so he thought about capturing Wei Wu and the others to play with. As the youngest newcomer in the secret guards, Wei Shiliu was mercilessly pushed out by Wei Qi to serve as the little princess's playmate.

Compared with Wei Wu and the other two, Li likes Wei Shiliu more.

Besides the last time he gave her an acupuncture treatment, there was another reason. Without his mask, Wei Shiliu looked more pleasing to the eye than the other three. Moreover, this talkative guy looked a bit like Xiaoliu in his previous life, so much so that Li wanted to beat him up.

He was the second person Li wanted to poach in this mansion. Of course, the first one had to be the chef who made pig's trotters.

"Ouch~" Wei Shiliu was hit on the forehead by a stone again, and felt dizzy. "Little Princess! Didn't we agree to be gentle?"

Wei Shiliu is the youngest among the secret guards and has the lowest martial arts skills. The wounds he received from being punished by the little princess that day have not yet fully healed, and now he has been tortured by her to the point of being unrecognizable. The training is even more tiring than that in the secret guard camp.

Li tossed the small stone in his hand and said, "You are so slow, is it my fault?" After that, another stone landed perfectly on the back of Wei Shiliu's hand, causing him to howl in pain again.

Before Wei Shiliu could adjust his body, the man on the stone chair flew towards him. Wei Shiliu instinctively turned sideways to avoid the attack, but when he blocked it, Li's knee had already hit his stomach.

Wei Shiliu hunched over in pain, and when the next attack came, he ran to hide behind a phoenix tree in the corner, shouting as he ran: "You, you, you have no moral integrity!"

When Yu Xun arrived at the West Courtyard, he saw the scene where he was running away and she was chasing him, unable to escape even with wings.

"Cough cough." Yu Xun coughed a few times, trying to attract the attention of the two people in the yard.

Li threw a big pouch behind Wei Shiliu's head, then he withdrew his hand with satisfaction and looked at Yu Xun at the gate of the courtyard, "The general is here, do you have good news?"

"Well, the emperor was very angry about the rumors today, so he asked me to take you to the palace in the afternoon." Yu Xun stretched out his long legs and sat down in front of the stone table.

Li looked at the sun and it was almost time for lunch, so he waved his hand and asked Wei Shiliu to go down and serve the meal.

"You use my secret guards quite well."

Li didn't respond to him. He just sat on the recliner with his legs crossed waiting to be fed.

If he had not confirmed Wei Shiliu's identity again and again, he would have almost suspected that Wei Shiliu was the little princess's man.

Yu Xun had been busy outside these days, and he also listened to Wei Qi's account of the chrysanthemum viewing banquet. No matter how many guesses he had about Qu Tangli's identity, the information he had collected told him that the person in front of him was Qu Tangli, the ninth princess of the Qianwu Dynasty.

When rumors spread that she was a mountain monster, Yu Xun's first reaction was that this statement was quite reliable.

Later, he simply left Wei Shiliu in the West Courtyard, hoping that since they were of similar age, Wei Shiliu would be able to find out something indirectly.

However, judging from the current situation, it would be lucky for this secret guard to be alive in her hands, and she couldn't expect him to find out any information.

After a while, the servants prepared lunch on the stone table.

Codonopsis, crucian carp and wolfberry soup, red bean and barley porridge, fried pork liver with celery, braised pig's trotters with soybeans, and the snack is the famous eight-treasure cake among medicinal foods.

The dishes are simple and casual, and the main focus is on replenishing blood.

Li reached out and pulled the plate of pig's trotters on the table to his side, then took a bite of the meat with great satisfaction.

Yu Xun was thinking about going to the palace soon and had not eaten much. When he came to his senses, half of the dishes on the table were gone, and only soybeans were left in the plate of tender and delicious pig's trotters.

Yu Xun's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that this person's appetite had increased after not seeing him for a few days. This appearance reminded him of the rumors in the market, "Are you really a pig spirit?"

"Ahem, huh?" Li nearly choked to death on a mouthful of barley. After a little thought, he knew what Yu Xun meant. "General Yu, if you have nothing to do after eating, go for a walk outside by yourself and don't be an eyesore here."

She has been exercising every minute these days, and since she is in the stage of immortality, her appetite has naturally increased a lot.

"Fortunately, you were born into a royal family. If you were an ordinary family, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to afford to raise you." Yu Xun didn't care about Li's threatening look and said rudely.

Looking at Yu Xun's teasing eyes, Li really wanted to say to him: What do you care about me? Do you think I eat your rice?

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that she is indeed eating their rice now.

Li rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, but his hands did not slow down at all. In a short while, he had cleared all the dishes on the table.

Yu Xun put down his chopsticks helplessly, and he accepted her idea of ​​being a pig spirit. God had mercy on him because he only ate half full. "Please pack up, we will go to the palace at 5 pm."

At one o'clock in the morning, when Yu Xun saw Li dressed in white, he was stunned.

The golden osmanthus hairpin swayed gently in her hair. In order to control the amplitude of the hairpin, she slowed down her steps. At this moment, she really had the demeanor of a princess.

"What's wrong?" Li asked with a raised eyebrow. In order to avoid being beheaded for dressing like a filial son, she suppressed her instinctive reaction and let Chunmei apply paint on her face wantonly. Now she just felt that something was wrong with her face.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something." Yu Xun looked away awkwardly.

"What's the matter?" Li's intuition told her that what Yu Xun said was probably not good.

Sure enough, the next second Yu·Straight Man·Xun spoke up, "It reminded me of a rare white-haired pig I saw in the frontier before."

suffer:......

"Wei Shiliu!" Li gritted his teeth in anger.

"exist."

Wei Shiliu got used to being called by Li these days, so he jumped out subconsciously when he heard Li's voice, but what was waiting for him was Li's angry big mouth.

"Ah!" Li's mood improved a little after hearing Wei Shiliu's scream like a slaughtered pig. After saying "the master's debt must be repaid by the servant", she strode out without any manners, and the hairpin on her head jingled as she shook it.

Wei Shiliu covered the back of his head and looked at his master with a resentful face.

Yu Xun calmly threw a few pieces of silver to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Here's a reward."

Wei Shiliu took the silver with a smile, said thank you, and disappeared into the darkness again.

Several secret guards beside him cast envious glances at him. When would it be their turn to get paid for just getting slapped in the face?

Wei Shiliu knew what they were thinking. He grimaced and touched the back of his head where he had been hit.

If they had personally experienced the dizziness caused by the little princess' slap, they would not have envied him. The worst thing was that the little princess did not allow him to take painkillers, so he had to endure the injury.
