Chapter 53 Meeting the Princess
Qi Yu still had some doubts, "Can there really be such a strange person in the world?"
Zhong Ning glanced at him and said:
"Of course! Everything in the world has its own realm. For example, in poetry, a single sentence can define its realm. Just like martial arts, a single move can demonstrate its power!"
"My master's swordsmanship has reached the state of selflessness!"
"I have no form, no mind, no moves, no enemy. I defeat moves with my own moves. No one in the world can match me!"
"Of course, when I met him, my bones weren't that strong, and I had only just learned it. So even if I inherited my master's inner strength, I could only unleash one-tenth of his power!"
When Zhong Ning said this, he couldn't help but look at Qi Yu.
His eyes were deep, and I couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
After a moment of silence, Qi Yu spoke coldly:
"Since Miss Xu is so capable, why not serve as a guard to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess? Once Her Royal Highness returns safely to the capital, I will report to His Majesty!"
At this point, Qi Yu continued, "I heard that you are also from Shengjing, and were abducted and trafficked here by someone with malicious intent. If you can protect the princess, when you return to the capital, I will investigate your background and the reasons behind your life! Are you willing?"
The corner of Zhong Ning's mouth twitched slightly, damn Miss Xu!
"Master Qi, you are too kind. The past is dark and cannot be retrieved. I have changed my name and am now Zhong Ning!"
Qi Yu had checked the case files and naturally knew about this matter. His question just now was just a test to find out. "Your last name is Xu, why did you change it to Zhong?"
"After I mastered my martial arts, I once returned to Kaoshan Village privately. I learned that the villagers had built a cenotaph for me and named it Zhong Ning. I hope that in my next life, I can live a happy and peaceful life until the end of my life!"
"When I met my master, it was the day of my rebirth. I must not let the villagers down. Zhong Ning is a very good name. I like it very much!"
"My Lord, please don't forget it again!"
Zhong Ning emphasized this, and Qi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"In that case, Miss Zhong, escort the princess back to the capital, so that she can forget Xiao Yu and wait for her marriage in peace. This is a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. Can you do it?"
"I can't even afford five thousand taels of silver. I can't do it without money!" Zhong Ning rolled his eyes and replied directly.
Protecting the princess is one thing, but making her forget her first love requires some careful planning, right?
He wanted to make her work without paying a penny.
Dreaming!
Qi Yu's heart was blocked, "What do you want the money for?"
"Brother, you really are ignorant of the world, aren't you?"
"The best way to forget an old relationship is to start a new one. Of course, Her Royal Highness is an exception. She cannot start a new relationship."
"But it's necessary to open up a new world for her!"
"Don't you have to spend money to hire someone to act?"
"What are you doing here, trying to get something for nothing?"
When Qi Yu heard this, he had a bad feeling in his heart, "Looking for someone to act? What kind of play?"
"Don't worry about that. Just tell me whether you'll be paid or not. I can't do it without you!"
Don't think of letting her work for nothing!
Qi Yu was silent for a moment. "The imperial carriage is here and will return to the capital soon. No matter what drama we perform, it will be in vain!"
Zhong Ning glared at him angrily, "Five thousand taels, will you give it to me?"
Qi Yu looked at her, then took out a stack of silver notes from his arms, ten of them worth one hundred taels each, and said, "That's all the money we have. You can do whatever you want!"
"Yes, of course." Zhong Ning quickly took the money, carefully put it in his pocket, and secretly put it into the space.
"Rest early. I'll take you to meet the princess tomorrow!"
"Hey, wait a minute, I want to know when we will set off back to Beijing?" Zhong Ning asked.
"Seven days later!" After saying that, Qi Yu opened the door and walked out.
Zhong Ning's big eyes were full of confusion. Seven days later?
Wasn’t it three days later last night?
Suddenly changed the return date...
There are only two reasons!
First, he believed the intelligence he had sent and needed time to make careful preparations.
The second reason is that he doesn't trust me. He has detained me here for the past few days to see if I would secretly pass on information to the Northern Di people.
Forget it, I got into trouble as soon as I made a move. If I hadn't killed Xiao Yu in advance, there wouldn't be so many subsequent troubles.
And there is Princess Zhaoyang.
According to the plot of the original book, she, like herself, is a cannon fodder serving the plot.
Why make things difficult for cannon fodder?
It is really unbearable to watch her risking her life every day for a man, who is also a secret agent of the enemy country.
How can a princess indulge in love?
She must find a way to make Her Royal Highness the Princess realize that there are so many men in the world, so why should she miss any one of them?
The next morning.
In the Qionghua Pavilion.
Qi Yu brought Zhong Ning to meet Princess Zhaoyang in person!
"Your Highness, for your safety, I have found a female bodyguard with exceptional martial arts skills to protect you closely and escort you all the way to the capital!"
Qi Yu said, motioning Zhong Ning to come forward!
"Your subordinate greets Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Zhong Ning was wearing a tight-sleeved shirt, a waist-hugging long robe, and a high ponytail, looking neat and tidy.
Princess Zhaoyang, who was sitting in the upper seat, was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a listless expression, as if she had no interest in anything. However, seeing that Qi Yu was so concerned about her safety, she still gave him some face.
"Get up!" Princess Zhaoyang said softly, then took off a gold wire bracelet from her wrist and ordered the maid to pass it to Zhong Ning.
"From now on, my safety depends on you. If you can protect me, you will definitely benefit from it!"
Zhong Ning accepted the reward, without showing any emotion on his face, but inwardly he was screaming with joy.
"I thank you Princess, and I will do my best to protect Her Highness!"
"Ok!"
Princess Zhaoyang responded casually, then turned her gaze to Qi Yu again, "Qi Yu, do you know the whereabouts of Prince Xiao?"
Qi Yu's body stiffened, his eyes grew even colder, "I am incompetent!"
"You are incompetent! You are the most useful subordinate of our father. How come you can't even find one person?" Princess Zhaoyang was so angry that she threw the pearl hairpin she was playing with at hand.
Seeing that it was about to hit Qi Yu, Zhong Ning instinctively took action and caught the pearl hairpin in his hand.
"How dare you!" Princess Zhaoyang was furious. "How dare you disobey me?"
Princess Zhaoyang, who had just looked sad and depressed, immediately stood up from the phoenix couch with her eyes wide open.
It was as if he wanted to direct all his anger towards Zhong Ning.
Seeing the princess's anger, the maidservant beside her stepped forward and said, "Guard Zhong, you must not be rude in front of the princess!"
Zhong Ning stroked the pearl hairpin inlaid with pearls and gold threads in her palm.
He looked up at Princess Zhaoyang, whose body was meticulously crafted. A stern look flashed in his eyes. He was about to speak, but Qi Yu spoke first:
"Your Highness is so arrogant, you're willing to die for a man. I, Qi, am not talented enough, but I want to ask you, how much does this pearl flower cost?"
