After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

He didn't show it on his face, still pretending to dote on the beauty, but in his heart he despised her to the core.

A little bit of love can bring a princess down from the altar.

A small bowl of wild food made him so excited.

Royal Princess, nothing more than that!

She was like a vine, clinging to him all day long.

She is not tired of it, but I am almost tired of it.

A hint of boredom flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes, but the smile on his face deepened.

He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it in Princess Zhaoyang's bowl. He stared at the beautiful woman in front of him with affectionate eyes and said, "If you like it, eat more. I will go hunt some game later and cook it for you myself!"

Just one sentence made the beauty blush and feel full of happiness.

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but Xiao Lang is willing to cook for her.

He really treats himself sincerely.

....

As for Zhong Ning, he kept frowning after Xiao Yu left.

Suddenly she thought of something.

Marquis Yongyi Xiao Bufan was born into a military family and had extremely high requirements for the training of his offspring.

As the eldest son of Marquis Yongyi, Xiao Yu naturally received the best education.

Not only was he well-versed in classics by famous authors, including the Four Books and Five Classics, he was also proficient in music and skilled in martial arts.

It is recorded in the book that Xiao Yu has extraordinary martial arts skills and can escape from the joint attack of dozens of secret guards.

After returning to Beidi, he encountered countless assassination attempts.

Most of the time, he was able to avoid them all by relying on his martial arts skills.

Moreover, he was able to control the army in Beidi on his own and ascend to the throne of regent by relying on his martial arts and skills, and conquering countless generals.

He is one of the only two martial arts masters in the world after the male protagonist in the whole book.

If martial arts has ten levels, then Xiao Yu is at least at level seven.

If such a person wants to kill himself, it is as easy as crushing an ant.

No, a simple bamboo joint can't hurt him at all.

We need to add a few more layers of protection.

Zhong Ning thought so and began to ponder secretly.

Shen Yan was happily eating meat, but when he saw Zhong Ning's unhappy expression, he slowly stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhong Ning shook his head, "Just thinking of something!"

"Do you need my help?" Shen Yan asked again.

"You've helped me a lot." Zhong Ning raised his head and replied with a smile.

Shen Yan put down his chopsticks and said slowly, "Actually, I was going to come see you today."

"Is something wrong?"

"I'm here to say goodbye!" Shen Yan raised his eyes and looked directly at Zhong Ning, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes. "I heard that there might be a war on the border, and I want to join the army!"

"Why, so sudden?" Zhong Ning's voice was hoarse. "Didn't you say you wanted to save some money and return to Shengjing to visit your family?"

"That's what I thought before, but..." Shen Yan was silent.

"I've been thinking about this over and over again these past few days, and I always feel that the so-called nobleman hiding in the dark must be a powerful person. If the two of us return to the capital as commoners, our chances of revenge are slim."

"Not to mention finding my family back home."

"I think I should join the army first. I have some brute force. I have fought wild beasts in the mountains over the years and have learned some tricks. Although my methods are wild, I still have the ability to protect myself."

“So, I want to give it a try!”

After saying that, he stopped and looked straight at Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning was also stunned.

She had never heard Shen Yan say so much at once.

Usually he only replies with one or two sentences, very little words.

But unexpectedly, he would become a chatterbox one day!

"When do we set off?" Zhong Ning asked.

"Three days later! We need to make some preparations!"

Shen Yan said this and looked at Zhong Ning again, "You, take care of yourself! If possible, can you not go to Shengjing for now? I'm afraid you'll be in danger if you're alone. I'll be back in three years at most!"

Zhong Ning shook his head. "How can you be sure about the war? I have my own plans. I can't stay here for so long."

Shen Yan lowered his eyes slightly, knowing that since she had made a decision, she would not change it easily.

But in the final analysis, it was he who left her first.

"I'm... I'm sorry, I clearly promised you..." Shen Yan whispered, his voice full of guilt, "Remember to protect yourself before I come back."

"Well, don't worry!" Zhong Ning smiled. "I'm the best at protecting myself. If I can't beat them, I'll run away. I won't give anyone the chance to hurt me!"

"Okay!" Shen Yan's lips curled slightly, and he looked very happy. "If someone bullies you, just write to me. I will definitely avenge you when I come back."

Zhong Ning was quite surprised by Shen Yan's sudden decision.

However, I still feel a little regretful that we can no longer travel together.

After Zhong Ning sent the person away, he sat in the study in silence for a long time.

She found that she was actually a little dependent on Shen Yan.

Perhaps it was because of the same kidnapping experience, or perhaps it was because the last time they worked together to defeat Xu Yongzhang, it has to be said that Shen Yan was indeed the first friend she made in this era.

Sure enough, that saying came true.

No matter who it is, they can only accompany you for a while, but not for your whole life.

Shen Yan has arrived at his destination. He is going to pursue his own life. I should bless him!

It was getting dark.

Zhong Ning sat in a chair, thinking carefully about what happened today.

According to the book, the palace guards found this place half a month later.

Xiao Yu could have taken the princess and escaped into the mountains, but he hid in this small courtyard for more than half a month.

Could this be the legendary, great hermit hiding in the city?

In any case, what is certain is that Xiao Yu is not easy to deal with.

Before, Xu Yongzhang was just a weak scholar, while Xiao Yu was a young man from an aristocratic family with excellent civil and military skills.

He could kill himself with just a flick of his finger.

There was no resistance at all.

Zhong Ning stood up suddenly. She couldn't delay any longer and had to run quickly.

Although the book said that the action would take place in two days, now the treasures had been taken away by myself, so there was no guarantee that the plot would not be advanced.

Zhong Ning put all the things he had bought in the study into the space and was about to leave.

But before she could lift her foot, the study was blown open by a gust of evil wind.

A white figure flew in directly.

Zhong Ning was startled and retreated back in fear, even forgetting that he had space to hide.

The swift figure is like a car rushing on the road.

At that moment, I was standing there alone, unable to think of anything.

The white shadow rushed straight towards Zhong Ning. When she instinctively wanted to shout for help, the man grabbed her neck with his warm hands.

Zhong Ning's breathing became tight and his vision went dark.

At this moment, she seemed to see her breasts.

She was standing right in front of him, waving and smiling at him!

The neck was so thin that the man could pinch it effortlessly.

It seemed as if it could be broken with just a little force.

A strong sense of oppression came over him, and the man moved forward and pressed Zhong Ning against the wall of the study.
