Dragon Warrior

Chapter 7 Master and Disciple Meet
The princess turned around, turned her back to Xiao Jing, and said in a bad tone: "You are so eloquent, but after all, you just want to get out of the palace as soon as possible. Why, is this princess so annoying to you and makes you so impatient Do you want to run far?"

In addition to the superficial sullenness in the princess's tone, there was also a hint of grievance that was not easy to detect. Maybe the princess didn't notice it, but Xiao Jing was keenly aware of it.

With a soft heart, Xiao Jing said softly: "The princess looks like a fairy, and she looks like a dragon and a phoenix. I wish I could be a cow and a horse for the princess for the rest of my life. It's just that life is hard, and everyone has something that they can't give up. It is a lofty ideal, or a burst of ambition, or a belief in protecting relatives and friends. In short, people who play different roles in life always have fetters that others cannot understand. For certain things, it is worth fighting with our lives.”

The princess still turned her back to Xiao Jing, silent for a moment, turned her head sideways, stared at Xiao Jing with burning eyes, and said softly: "Then what is it that makes you unable to let go? Ideals? Ambition? Faith? Or, feelings?"

Xiao Jing dropped her hands and remained silent.ideal?ambition?belief?emotion?Maybe both!

The princess went on to say: "I can agree to everything you said, and it's okay to let your master and apprentice leave, but before that, I have one condition."

Xiao Jing was thinking about the princess's question just now, and for a while she lost interest.After hearing the words, he just replied indifferently: "What are the conditions, princess, please speak up, if you agree, you will succeed, if you don't agree, you will refuse, that's all!"

Seeing Xiao Jing's expression was different, the princess frowned slightly, and said bluntly: "I said, if I still want you to serve me tea, what are you going to do, will you bow your head and appoint, or fight to the death? "

Xiao Jing frowned, and didn't want to turn around, and the matter returned to the original track. She calmed down a little, and Xiao Jing refused: "Such a request, Xiao will be hard to obey. However, I will neither accept fate nor accept it. I won't fight to the death, the future will be long, there will always be a day when the will will be bright. At that time, the world will be far away, and maybe we will see each other forever. Even if there is communication, most of them will be enemies rather than friends. I hope the princess can advance and retreat calmly."

Hearing the cold and unfeeling words, the princess's face turned pale, she bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and whispered, "If it's only a month, why don't you agree?"

"Huh?" Xiao Jing was startled inwardly, the princess's weak posture had never been shown in front of him before, which surprised him and made him laugh at the same time.Surprised that the princess is so persistent in asking himself to be a servant, and funny that one day someone eagerly begged himself to be a servant.

In fact, if Xiao Jing was only surprised, then the rest of the people were only shocked.Although the two elders Xuanming, Ku Toutuo, Ah Er, and Ah San have not been with the princess for a long time, the time they have joined Ruyang Palace is not short. When they followed the prince in the past, they have never seen the princess like this. This kind of expression that seems to be desperately wanting to get something, but is uneasy, will never appear on this tough and precocious Princess Dayuan in the past. Let the princess do this.

Xiao Jing really couldn't bear to refuse the small request of the little princess anymore, it was only a month, and there was not much delay, anyway, there were still two or three years before Zhang Wuji returned to Zhongtu, and the plot officially started, so there was no rush.

So he said: "If the princess doesn't think that the boy from the country is rude and stupid, then I will try to do it, and if there is anything wrong, I will ask the princess to take care of it."

Received Xiao Jing's positive response, the princess immediately beamed with joy, turned around, clapped her hands with a smile on her face and said: "No, no, don't worry, someone makes the tea well every day, you are only responsible for handing it to me That's enough, I believe that the future Chief Xiao will not be unable to do such a small matter, right?"

Xiao Jing nodded, saying that if it was just such a trivial matter, it would not be too difficult.

The princess was happy for a while, suddenly thought of something, and immediately added: "One thing I have to declare in advance, this month is not the promise you promised, it has to be counted separately."

Xiao Jing had expected it long ago, and it was all right after hearing the words.But now that the two sides have negotiated, it is time to get down to business.

Xiao Jing said solemnly: "Since I have agreed to the conditions of the princess, I don't know when I can see my teacher. I miss him very much after a long absence. I just want to serve him at the knee of the old man as soon as possible to fulfill my filial piety."

The princess didn't shirk this time, and said straightforwardly: "Don't worry, I promised you, and naturally I won't go back on it. Since Mr. Xiao entered the palace, he has served him with delicious food and drink, and he has not treated him harshly. , it’s much more comfortable than staying among those beggars of your beggar gang, you’re in such a hurry to pick him up, I’m afraid he might not be happy because he’s used to the life of a king’s mansion!”

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest. Master urinates and hangs out among the flowers. For him, there is no place that makes him more comfortable than the gang of beggars. Although life in the palace is good, but It's no different from a cage, I only regret that my ability is limited, and I didn't come to pick him up as soon as possible."

"Well said, you have this heart, and I am very pleased to be a teacher, and it is not in vain to hurt you." Just as Xiao Jing finished speaking, an old and thick voice suddenly came from behind.

Xiao Jing's body trembled slightly, his expression was agitated, and he turned around in disbelief, only to see a thin old man with white hair and a little listless spirit standing at the door at some point, this person was none other than himself The long-awaited teacher Xiao Yuantai.

"Master, I thought I would never see you again!" Xiao Jing rushed to Xiao Yuantai in a few steps, knelt down on the ground with a plop, her eyes were slightly wet, and she tried her best not to let the tears flow out.

Xiao Yuantai stretched out his right hand, stroking Xiao Jing's hair, and his tone could not help but fluctuate: "My good boy, since you are already in prison as a teacher, why should you throw yourself into the trap? , but Xiaojiu, you are different, just like the rising sun, how can you take risks lightly and catch yourself?"

"If Master hadn't rescued me, I would have died in the fire five years ago. Master died, how could I be afraid to go forward because of the danger? Even if I was buried lightly, I have no complaints or regrets." Xiao Jing The truth is revealed.

At this moment, looking at the old man in front of him, Xiao Jing only had deep admiration in his heart.After all, the person in front of him is his only relative in this world, and he treats him as much as a mountain. All kinds of dark thoughts before made him feel a little guilty. The utilitarianism of this act made him still unable to let go of his heart when facing his mentor.

The princess quietly watched the scene where the master and apprentice met, without making a sound.Xiao Jing, who showed her true feelings in front of her eyes, made it difficult for her to connect with the deep, wise, calm and calm image just now. This gave her another different feeling, and made her mood inexplicably better: it turns out , besides being aloof and cold, he also has such an affectionate and sexual side.
