Chapter 10 The grace of saving lives
This is an unknown continent that is completely unfamiliar to the end of the Soviet Union. In the vast land, apart from the small subsidiary countries that can only survive safely by relying on powerful countries, there are still nine powerful countries. Guo, Dongli, Nanyue and Hengguo in the south, Xibi and Nayi in the west, and Jiuluo Beiyu in the north. A strange pattern of territory was formed between the nine countries. Su Mo stared at it for a long time before finally Understand where the faintly revealed something wrong comes from.

Taking Cang Yue as a reference point, although the other eight great powers have clear directions from east to west to northwest, almost every country has an area that cannot be ignored extending to neighboring countries. I don’t know if it is caused by years of war or other reasons. In short, these irregular geographical extensions, together with the partitions of the surrounding small countries and mountains and lakes, strangely form a pattern on the map surrounded by the eight planets of the solar system.The reason why he hesitated for so long before comprehending it was because Su Mo was not sure. After all, this was the feudal and conservative ancient times, not the 21st century. However, even if it might just be a too strange coincidence, Su Mo still I secretly remembered it in my heart.

Cangyue Kingdom has been established for 480 years and has experienced 21 emperors.

The longest reign is the No.19 Dai Yudi, who has been emperor for 49 years. During his reign, the national power was unprecedentedly prosperous and strong, and the economic and military strength reached its peak. It seems that he has become the head of all countries. But in the end, because he couldn't bear the war and the chaos and the displacement of the people, the good opportunity was missed.Among the descendants of the next two generations, there has never been such a talented and bold emperor.

But passed down to this generation, the reigning Emperor Ming was more than benevolent, but not wise enough. He has been on the throne for 21 years, and he has had two concubines and six concubines. , now there are only Empress Murong, Concubine Han and Concubine Li.

There were endless battles in the harem, but the emperor's dozen or so sons were peaceful. I don't know if it was because of the deep brotherhood or some other reason. In short, except for the third prince who was rumored to have died of illness 13 years ago, the remaining eleven sons The three sons and three daughters are all intact, and there is no cannibalism.

Between Cang Yue and Xibi there is a small and weak state of Guizhou. Although its territory is small, it has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with the four powerful countries because of its unique horse training technology.For a long time, even the undercurrents in several countries have been peaceful.

It took less than an hour for Su Mo to roughly understand the basic situation of the country he was in now. As for other information that could not be obtained from the history books, he could only learn by himself in the future.

Walking to the door, I looked at the sky outside. The colorful clouds had dyed half of the sky, red as fire, and shone in the small courtyard, haloing layers of halo, so beautiful that people sighed.

No wonder so many poets and painters always like to write poems and paintings against the sunset, trying to keep the beauty of that moment.However, the extremely beautiful things are always ruthlessly slipping away between the fingers, and they only want to leave people with a fantasy and a sigh.

Su Mo laughed at herself, when would she have time to grieve her age here.

Slowly step out of the small courtyard, walk up the nine-curved corridor along the short stone steps, swaying slowly under your feet, and watch the scenery on both sides leisurely.But secretly listening quietly, there is a plum garden at the end of the corridor, and the refreshing fragrance cannot conceal the hidden atmosphere.Although she has not seen a single person except for the two maidservants, her keen intuition that she has circled the edge of life and death countless times tells her that there must be no less than ten masters hiding in the dark nearby.

Su Mo didn't feel the killing intent, so she didn't bother to bother. Besides, her injury was not healed yet, so she didn't want to ask for trouble.

After walking around, I felt bored. Su Mo was going to go back to chat with those two girls. After all, if she wanted to know something, she could only ask them.

"girl."

Su Mo turned around and looked at the man in Tsing Yi who was only three steps away in front of him, "Call me?"

With a faint smile on Nanyun's young and gentle face, he nodded politely: "Under Nanyun, I am the master's bodyguard. The master guessed that the girl must be awake at this time, so he ordered his subordinates to come down and ask the girl if she would like to go to the school grounds. "Although I haven't seen it before, the strange woman who can appear here at this time, except for the Su Mo who interested the master, will definitely not have another person, so Nan Yun is not worried that he will recognize the wrong person.

"School?" Su Mo slightly raised his eyebrows.

"There is an open space in the backyard of the villa. Sometimes the master and a few young masters will use it as a temporary school ground." Nanyun explained, "The master said that the fourteenth young master rescued the girl in the pond there yesterday."

Su Mo nodded: "Lead the way."

The backyard is not far from the east courtyard. After exiting the plum grove, walk across an artificial lake, and then pass through two long corridors.

Although the distance was short, Su Mo left in shock. Although she was not proficient in mechanism formations, after all, in the 21st century, real guns and live ammunition were used. Who would be bored enough to study long-lost formations? From Yun's expression and actions, he knew that there were dangers almost everywhere along the road, and if he accidentally made a mistake, he would definitely die with incomplete bones.

He followed Nan Yun under his feet, not daring to make a wrong step.Although Su Mo is conceited, she never jokes about her own life.

"Girl, here we are."

Su Mo raised his eyes and saw that it was indeed a large open space, with a verdant and dense bamboo forest on the edge, and the green bamboos stood proudly like a gentleman.On one side is the colorful and fragrant peach garden, where peach blossoms are flying like a raging fire.

There is a small pond in the middle of the school grounds, the water is crystal clear and sparkling.Su Mo glanced at it indifferently, and felt that the pond was just an ordinary pond, and there was nothing special about it.I came here out of nowhere, definitely not because of this pond.

In a small and exquisite pavilion in the bamboo forest, two people are playing chess at this time.

Su Mo only took one look and recognized one of them was the man who appeared in his room yesterday and asked his name.Such an outstanding appearance, and the noble aura that can't be concealed from top to bottom, makes people want to forget and never forget.

Another man, Su Mo only has a little impression. After all, although she has a little memory, she was too tired yesterday and didn't pay much attention to it. If she remembers correctly, it was the two men who followed behind yesterday. one of them.

Su Mo walked over and found a place to sit down, neither too close to disturb the two of them, nor too far away to be rude.

She doesn't understand chess, and she doesn't like pretending to understand.However, beautiful things always make people happy, whether it is the quiet and elegant scenery around them, or the silent tranquility of the two men playing chess in front of them, it makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Glancing at the teapot on the stone table beside him, Su Mo poured himself a cup of tea and casually looked around.On the school field, a man in white was practicing archery. The man had a handsome face and a perfect demeanor like a gentleman.

Draw the bow, aim, shoot the target.

Bending down to pick up the arrow, then draw the bow, aim, and shoot the target.

So repeatedly, without stopping.

Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. The man's archery skills are obviously excellent. His slender and straight figure and flowing movements, even the strenuous training of drawing a bow, are extremely graceful and eye-catching to him.

However, if she read it correctly, the man was obviously exhausted, bending over and raising his hands, he couldn't hide his sluggish movements, his body seemed to be trembling slightly.Junxiu's face was frighteningly white, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

swoosh---
Another arrow hit the target.

Su Mo clearly saw that the man's hands were covered with large and small blisters, which were extremely red and swollen. Some blisters had been severely damaged by constant friction, and the palms of his hands looked horrible.

Su Mo knew how painful the blisters were after day and night of marksmanship training, let alone such a serious one.

This is not practicing archery, this is simply self-torture.

"Master, Xiao has been drawing the bow for a whole day." Shu Tong, who was holding the white arrow, said in a low voice, "There are 130 seven arrows left in a thousand arrows. He can't hold it anymore." More than 800 times, every time He hit the red heart, but his body couldn't resist drawing the bow and shooting arrows for such a long time without interruption.

Even, a drop of water has not been touched all day.

"What do you want to say? Plead for him?" Cang Hao smiled lazily, and his subordinates ruthlessly ate each other's son, and asked lightly.

"Shu Tong doesn't dare." Hei Zi was careful, but he still couldn't stop Bai Zi from plotting, pressing every step of the way, and his failure was revealed. Shu Tong simply gave up, "Master's chess skills are far beyond Shu Tong's. It is also difficult to be the master's opponent."

Cang Hao glanced at him, and said coldly: "Speak less of flattery, I don't like it. If you make up your mind and try your best, even if it is difficult to win completely, you will not lose so badly. Don't think that this king doesn't know what you are thinking What." Losing seven games in a row is really good.

Shu Tong got up, went to the side, lifted his clothes and knelt down: "Master, forgive me, Shu Tong just doesn't understand."

I don't understand that Xiao is in charge of all the economic power under Jiyue Mountain Villa. He is extremely capable, and his daily behavior is almost perfect, and he can hardly find the slightest mistake. He is also responsible for everything when he is with his master, humble and docile, and never oversteps the rules. Why is the master always so strict with Xiao.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Mo turned his head slightly, but Cang Hao said: "You don't need to worry about Yue Xiao's affairs. Just do your own business."

"Master." Shu Tong wanted to say something more, but was interrupted, "If you talk too much, don't you want to taste the taste of army sticks?"

Shu Tong was stunned, and smiled wryly: "If the master has an order, the subordinates dare not disobey. It's just that in these two days, he will take over the military power from Mo and train [-] elite cavalry. If Shu Tong goes into battle with injuries, why not call everyone The soldiers made jokes and lost their majesty."

"Since you are afraid of losing face, you should shut up for this king." He reprimanded coldly, and then said: "If you don't get up yet, do you want this king to help you?"

Reluctantly, Shu Tong got up and stood aside, not daring to say any more, but his eyes always involuntarily glanced at the corner of the school grounds, implying worry.

It turned out that the man who was shooting arrows was called Yue Xiao, and he seemed to be being punished, but the man who wanted to intercede but didn't dare was called Shu Tong. Seeing that they had finished playing chess, Su Mo approached, nodded lightly to Shu Tong, and stood on the table. Bian flicked his clothes and sat down.

Cang Hao frowned and raised his eyebrows, watching her back-length hair tied into a ponytail, maroon luster faintly visible in the setting sun: "Miss Su is feeling better?"

Su Mo nodded, with a calm expression, without the slightest restraint, "After a nap, my spirit has recovered a lot."

"How's the injury?"

"No problem." Su Mo replied, looking up at him slightly: "I will repay you three times for saving my life in the future." The tone of course was extremely relaxed.

"It's not my servant who saved the girl."

Su Mo nodded, her expression still flat: "It's your subordinate, what's the difference? If you don't agree, whoever dares to save them, even if they are saved, they can let me fend for myself." The flat tone, as if Talk about the weather, not your own life.

I can't hear gratitude, but I am indeed grateful.

"Since that's the case, how about a girl's promise with her body?" Cang Hao smiled with crooked brows and eyes, peerless, "Don't you girls like to say something on your lips, there is no repayment for saving your life, you should show it with your body." May."

Hearing this, Su Mo raised her eyebrows slightly, and the brows inadvertently bloomed proudly, the brilliance was compelling: "Since you said it, you can't repay it, so you promise it with your body. There are thousands of places that this girl can repay, and you don't need to sacrifice yourself." Report to each other."

Shu Tong, who kept his eyes on the school field for a moment, turned his head in surprise at this time, not to mention that the master has never shown interest in any woman, but this woman's rejection without hesitation is enough to surprise him.Regardless of status, status and power, the appearance and appearance of the master himself has already attracted most women in the world, and the exception has not yet appeared... No, the first one just appeared, a strange thing.

Su Mo didn't care what he was thinking, and continued: "If you want to kill someone, I can let him die quietly; if you want to rebel, I can help you train the most elite troops; if you want If I destroy a country, I can create the most lethal weapon." As the heir to the largest arms dealer in Asia, nothing can be difficult for her.

Stunned, Shu Tong's expression at this moment can only be described by this word.

This woman must be joking.

Killing, rebelling, destroying the country, these bloody words came out of her mouth, how could it be as simple as eating tofu?
Cang Hao smiled softly when he heard the words, and his expression became more and more cheerful: "Killing people, I have many masters who can help; Everything in the era, this king is also not interested."

Su Mo froze, startled by his unfathomable mind, and his terrifyingly keen insight, unexpectedly vaguely guessed that she did not belong to this world.

If it were anyone else, even if she said it, she would probably be treated as a lie to confuse the public, but he dared to make such a bold guess, and he was even vaguely sure.Although this man had only met twice, Su Mo fully understood his horror, nodded silently, and did not speak.

Glancing at the school field in a blink of an eye, Yue Xiao's body was on the verge of falling, his whole body was trembling violently, an arrow was shot tremblingly, and fell to the ground weakly halfway, Shu Tong exclaimed urgently: "Master!"

Su Mo only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the white figure shot out at the speed of a meteor, catching Yue Xiao who was already exhausted and fell to the ground in time, then hugged him by the waist, and said to Shu Tong who came later: "Command Chu Han .”

Shu Tong couldn't hide the worry in his eyes, but he breathed a sigh of relief quietly, bowed slightly, "Yes." He flew away in an instant.

Su Mo frowned slightly, thinking to herself, the ancient lightness kung fu was too fast, even if she tried her best, she might not be able to achieve such speed.

"Miss Su."

Su Mo stood up and said lightly, "Southern guard."

Nanyun cupped his hands politely: "The master said that the girl should go to the east courtyard for dinner tonight."

"East courtyard?" Su Mo raised his eyebrows.

"The east courtyard is the courtyard where the master lives." Nanyun explained.

Su Mo suddenly remembered something, "Master Nan, can you do me a favor?"

"Girl, please speak."

Su Mo took out the blueprints from his sleeve when he had nothing to do in the afternoon: "I need a craftsman to help me create what's on the drawing."

Nanyun took it and glanced at it, but didn't see any tricks, but said: "Young lady's order, Nanyun will try his best to do it."

"That's it, thank you." Su Mo thanked naturally, "Let's borrow the money from your master first, together with the grace of saving your life, and pay it back at a later date." There was no twitch in the tone, and there was no sign of borrowing money. Embarrassed.

Nanyun smiled slightly: "Miss, you are welcome."
