I govern the country by beauty

102. I thought Xizhi and Xizhi were good friends who confide in each other, but when I was about to get off the tree, he jumped down in a flash, leaving me hanging on the branch in a weird posture.

Although I was dissatisfied, I didn't want to ask for help, so I slid down the tree trunk a little bit.Although my thigh hurt from the bark rubbing against it, I still looked at Qi Zhi with a smile.

Fortunately, when we went back, he took the rein and walked the horse slowly, saving my life.

When I was sitting on horseback, I saw a white figure in front of the camp. I wanted to stop Qizhi, but that person turned his head to meet my gaze as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

Xizhi stopped in front of the fourth brother on his horse, and I jumped off the horse. The fourth brother's eyes were pale, and he just passed me, and his eyes fell on Xizhi behind me.

"Qizhi."

103. I sat in the tent and waited for the two to come back, but only one came in.

I couldn't find that white figure, so I couldn't hold back and asked, "Where's the fourth... Where's the fourth prince?"

"gone."

My fingers clenched the hem of the brocade robe, and I let go when I heard what Xi Zhi said.If you can't grasp something, it doesn't seem to be of much use to hold on to it.

Qi Zhi stared at me, and said abruptly, "Give me a token." Seeing my puzzled expression, he hurriedly said, "You must have a token if you promise me."

My mind was in a mess, and I nodded when I heard Xi Zhi's words, hanging my head and feeling for the jade pendant on my waist.

"You don't need something as expensive as a jade pendant."

"Then..."

Xi Zhi's eyes were a little dodged, and he said casually: "Wood carving is fine."

"But now there are no tools..."

104. The candle was flickering, and I looked at the scattered pieces of wood and all kinds of knives on the table, as well as the perching branch standing aside with a blank expression.

105. With a small knife in my hand, I carved on the wooden block bit by bit until I finally drew a complete circle.I was overjoyed, so I relaxed the strength in my hand. Just as I was about to raise my head to show off, the knife that was too forceful stabbed at my thumb.

Fortunately, the blade was not sharp enough, and only scratched the skin a little.

Xi Zhi, who was originally standing in the corner, dodged and stood in front of me. He tugged my wrist a little violently, looked at me for a long time before putting it down.He looked at the crooked wood carving in my hand and snatched it away.

"It's ugly." Qi Zhi frowned, his tone full of disgust.

I patted the table twice, "I haven't finished engraving yet, it will look good after engraving!"

"It's already ugly enough." Xizhi turned his wrist and hid the wood carving in his sleeve, turned his back and didn't look at me anymore, and disappeared into the room in a blink of an eye, leaving me alone sighing at the table full of sawdust.

106. The night is always hard to endure. I am playing with a small knife in my hand, letting the blade gently scratch my skin.Maybe this will make me forget the joy of yesterday, and the breathless neglect of today.

The candlelight was flickering, and I just felt that the room seemed a little cold.I turned around, and saw that the originally closed wooden window was wide open, and a man in a dark red brocade robe was sitting on the window sill with his collar open.The cold moonlight shone on him, and the deep eyebrows looked much gentler.Seeing my wide eyes, he grinned, and the sword in his hand twirled in the palm of his hand and rested firmly on his knee.

One leg was half-bent on the window sill, and she tilted her head and spoke to me.

"Playing with a knife in the dark is not a good thing."
