Helan Xuenuo looked at Xiaozhu and said with a wicked smile, "Do you feel guilty about doing something bad?"

She glanced at Xiaozhu's water bag and said, "Take me with you, and I won't tell on you."

Xiao Zhu had an inexplicably guilty look on her face. She said "hush" to Helan Xuenuo and took Helan Xuenuo to the martial arts training ground.

At this time, Mu Kong was training a few young soldiers with his back to them. The servants in the mansion had already dispersed after training.

Xiao Zhu walked up to Mu Kong with a huge smile on his face. "Young General Mu Kong, you must be tired after a day of training. Have a drink of water."

Mu Kong had a hesitant look on his face. He picked up the water bag and looked at Helan Xuenuo behind Xiaozhu. Helan Xuenuo smiled at him.

Mu Kong withdrew his gaze and rested it on Xiao Zhu again, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He opened the water bag and pretended to drink. Xiao Zhu's mouth was already grinning upwards, with a face full of conspiracy, as if he was afraid that others would not know.

Mu Kong pointed behind them. Xiao Zhu and Helan Xuenuo looked behind them with confused expressions, not knowing what Mu Kong wanted them to look at.

Mu Kong took the opportunity to pour the water into a water bag hanging on his body.

When Xiao Zhu turned around, she saw Mu Kong pretending to drink up all the water.

He handed the water bag back to Xiaozhu.

Xiao Zhu looked into the water bag and found it empty, which made him secretly happy.

Mu Kong said politely, "Thank you."

Xiao Zhu felt embarrassed because of the word "thank you" and said, "No...it's okay."

Mu Kong took a step forward and stared into her eyes. His eyes rolled around, and Mu Kong smiled, which was rare. This smile made Xiao Zhu stunned for a while.

Then Mu Kong took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to Xiao Zhu, "I see you are tired from training, you should drink it too."

Helan Xuenuo seemed to be watching the fun from the side.

Xiao Zhu's cheeks flushed, but she didn't refuse and took it and started drinking.

When she finished drinking, she caught a glimpse of a cunning flash in Mu Kong's eyes.

She noticed that the water tasted wrong and frowned in confusion.

Mu Kong smiled and said, "Is the water you brought delicious?"

She then realized that she had fallen into a trap, a beauty trap and a lure away from the tiger's mountain. She coughed and retched, pointing at Mu Kong and said bitterly, "Mu Kong, you are so pissed off!"

Helan Xuenuo patted Xiaozhu's back anxiously, but then she thought that Xiaozhu's teasing was clearly written on her face, and it would be strange if she didn't get caught. She couldn't help but smile, as she didn't know what had gone into the water.

She looked at Mu Kong again, but found that Mu Kong was looking at them. When their eyes met, Mu Kong looked away.

It turned out that Xiaozhu had put croton powder in the water. She ran to the toilet all night and felt exhausted, wailing all night long.

Helan Xuenuo found it very interesting and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xiao Zhu looked at Helan Xuenuo with resentment, "Miss, you are making fun of me. I won't live like this anymore! It's so embarrassing."

Before Helan Xuenuo could reply, Xiaozhu's stomach rumbled again and she ran to the toilet.

It can be seen that Xiaozhu took a really large dose of medicine. She was not seen in the training ground for two whole days.

She lay in bed for two days, touching her butt.

Qi Didi's ten-year persistence was interrupted by the arrival of Helan Xuenuo. She took a few days off on the pretext of feeling unwell.

When Helan Xuenuo came to the archery range today, Yuan Xu was lying in a rocking chair with his hands behind his head and a piece of wild grass picked up from somewhere in his mouth, but the grass was very dry and yellow.

Helan Xuenuo threw the cloak that Yuan Xu had borrowed from her yesterday onto him, just enough to cover his face.

Yuan Xu angrily ripped off his cloak and complained, "Helan Xuenuo, I was worried you'd get wet and catch a cold, so I covered you with the cloak. But you didn't just give it back to me, you threw it at me. You're such an ungrateful person."

Helan Xuenuo found Yuan Xu's angry look very interesting.

She ignored Yuan Xu, took off her cloak and put it aside, then walked straight to the iron rack, ready to take down the bow from yesterday. Although she knew that the bow had changed its position and was placed higher today, she couldn't reach it with her hand, so she stood on tiptoe. Just when she was about to touch it, Yuan Xu came behind her and helped her take it down.

She turned back to face Yuan Xu's lowered head. His breath tickled her face. She scratched her face, took the bow from Yuan Xu's hand, and pressed it against his abdomen. She pushed hard, but Yuan Xu didn't budge. She pushed harder, but Yuan Xu still didn't budge. A faint smile of unknown meaning hung on his face.

Helan Xuenuo just felt a little annoyed and could only walk away.

"How do I draw the bow?" Helan Xuenuo picked up the bow and tried to imitate Qi Didi, but found that it was quite difficult to draw the bow.

She gritted her teeth and pulled it open.

Yuan Xu just smiled, his head lowered. Then his expression turned serious. "I thought that after seven years of not seeing you, the ferocity you had when you chased me with a stick as a child would have become even stronger, but I didn't expect you to become so soft. Do you really want to just marry somewhere, have a few children, take care of the housework, and live a boring life?"

When Helan Xuenuo heard Yuan Xu's words, every word struck her heart. She pondered for a moment, "Do you think it's too late for me to wake up now?"

She looked at Yuan Xu with a sincere look, her black eyes were bottomless.

Yuan Xu suddenly felt that what he had just said was a bit harsh. A happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, "It's not too late."

He walked behind Helan Xuenuo, rested his chin on her forehead, and placed his hands on hers. They held the bow handle tightly, with the bow head pointing upwards. He pulled back with his right hand and shot an arrow, which hit the center of the bull's eye.

This arrow was shot by Yuan Xu.

Yuan Xu released his hand and said, "Now, practice as I tell you. You've been smart since you were little. I think if you practice for a few more days and years, you won't lose to Miss Qi."

Yuan Xu's words sounded a bit harsh, and Helan Xuenuo's face was full of indignation. She was thinking about how Yuan Xu had just taught her to draw the bow.

Close your eyes, use all your strength, and shoot an arrow.

She opened her eyes and saw that the arrow had hit the bull's eye, and she jumped for joy.

Yuan Xu burst into laughter, walked to her side, and flicked her forehead with his hand. Helan Xuenuo touched her forehead in pain.

"Helan Rendong, do you think you are some kind of prodigy? Shooting arrows with your eyes closed? Look carefully, your arrow hit the bull's eye next door."

Helan Xuenuo was half-believing and half-doubting. She looked carefully and realized that she was too happy too early. The arrow hit the center of the bull's eye, but it missed the target by a huge margin and went to the target next door.

"Open your eyes and shoot the arrow well. When shooting arrows, you must open your eyes and see the target clearly so that you can hit the target with one shot. Otherwise, you won't even know who you want to kill." When Yuan Xu said this, there was a serious tone in his voice like a teacher.

Helan Xuenuo felt that Yuan Xu seemed to have changed a lot, and her opinion of him also changed a lot unconsciously.

She thought that even if they didn't become husband and wife in this life, they could definitely be good friends.

After practicing for an hour, Helan Xuenuo's arrow finally got slightly closer to the target.

Yuan Xu stepped forward and patted her shoulder, encouraging her, "That's pretty good. I just started archery and couldn't hold the bow properly for a few days."

Hearing this, Helan Xuenuo regained a bit of confidence. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xu spoke again, "But I was only six years old at that time, and the bow was indeed too heavy."

The glimmer of confidence Helan Xuenuo had just regained was ruthlessly shattered by Yuan Xu. As expected, he had taken it for granted; Yuan Xu's venomous tongue was a fact that could not be changed.

"Go back! I'll teach you how to ride tomorrow."

Yuan Xu looked at Helan Xuunuo's neck, which was covered in sweat. The training clothes she wore today were still very tight. Yuan Xu looked away. "Change your clothes tomorrow. These clothes are not suitable for archery. Besides, if something really happens, you can't carry special riding and archery clothes with you. Just dress as usual."

Helan Xuenuo didn't understand what Yuan Xu meant, but she felt it made a lot of sense. She recalled Qi Didi in her previous life. At that time, Qi Didi was also wearing a gorgeous dress, with her sleeves fluttering in the wind, which did not affect her bow-drawing gestures at all.

She nodded, put the bow back on the iron frame, picked up her cloak and put it on, then left without looking back.

Yuan Xu shook his head and said helplessly, "This girl is still so rude. Even though it's only been a few days, she's still half a master after all."

After saying that, he put on his cloak. A burst of fragrant aroma came to his nose. He sniffed the fur collar and sighed softly, "What kind of fragrance is that?"
