The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Seeing Zhuge Liuying coming alone, Xiao Rui was a little shy.

There is no way, apart from practicing martial arts these days, he is daydreaming on the road chosen by Zhuge Liuying or Zhang Ruoxi, and now there is one more Li Ruoxue. Not being shy means that his skin is as thick as a city wall.

"Miss Zhuge, why did you come here early?" Xiao Rui asked.

When Zhuge Liuying saw Xiao Rui, she couldn't move her eyes, because she was shocked to find that the Seventh Prince in front of her had undergone earth-shaking changes from a month ago, especially for martial arts practitioners, who could see this change the most. Because this is a transformation from the spirit, from the inside out.

"watch out!"

Zhuge Liuying suddenly shouted, stretched out his palm and slapped Xiao Rui's face, Xiao Rui immediately backed away in fright, and at the same time stretched out his foot and kicked her wrist, pulling away the distance.

But Zhuge Liuying followed, the slender fingers of his right hand turned into sharp claws, and grabbed Xiao Rui's throat.

"Good time!" Xiao Rui had practiced swords for the past few days, and his hand skills were rusty, so he drew out the wooden knife at his waist and slashed directly at the sharp claws he had caught. Zhuge Liuying didn't dare to touch it head-on, she dodged it with flickering movements, and her left hand turned into a palm knife, opening and closing left and right.

Xiao Rui made a vertical cut with the wooden knife, and slashed at Zhuge Liuying's chest, but was hit by the back of the knife with her left hand, changing direction, and then her right hand was sharp, and directly tore his shirt on his chest.

But Xiao Rui dealt with it calmly, and the wooden knife changed direction and lifted from below, forcing Zhuge Liuying to move to the side, but Xiao Rui moved his feet and chased him instantly. The wooden knife cut across and slashed towards Zhuge Liuying's neck.

This knife is fast and fierce, killing decisively.

Zhuge Liuying cried inwardly, "Good time", and immediately leaned back to avoid the cross-cutting knife. At the same time, she raised her right foot and kicked Xiao Rui in the chest.

Xiao Rui snorted secretly, and took a few steps back before stopping.

"You have reached the realm of a first-rank martial artist? How is it possible!" Zhuge Liuying stared at Xiao Rui with burning eyes.

She has been carefully taught by the champion Hou since she was twelve years old, and it took three full years to enter the first-rank realm, but what about Xiao Rui? The muscles and bones are basically solidified, but she can still welcome the spring like a rotten tree, revealing its branches, how can this not surprise her?

Xiao Rui was a little proud, bragging: "Maybe I am very talented, but I didn't practice before, so I buried it."

Zhuge Liuying actually believed his tricks, nodded seriously, and said, "Very likely! Your Royal Highness, you really surprised me. It seems that I was right to come to you."

"Why are you looking for me?" Xiao Rui asked Zhuge Liuying casually after inviting him into the room.

Zhuge Liuying said eagerly: "Leave my business aside for the time being. I think that although your saber technique is decisive, but because you are a beginner and lack actual combat experience, your teacher taught you and you dare not be presumptuous. You lack the essence. Otherwise, I will accompany you." Are you going to practice the knife?"

It is true that Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang were timid when teaching Xiao Rui the saber technique, for fear of hurting him, but the real good martial arts are honed from life and death.

"How to practice the sword?" Xiao Rui asked hastily.

Zhuge Liuying said with a smile: "Naturally, he practiced swordsmanship by killing people. If he has never killed anyone, the swordmanship lacks murderous aura and is just a trick."

"Eh..." Xiao Rui hesitated: "Who are you going to kill?"

"Of course it's not about killing ordinary people." Zhuge Liuying said, "You misunderstood. What I mean by killing is to exterminate bandits and bandits for the imperial court."

Only then did Xiao Rui understand, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's my misunderstanding. But there are no bandits and bandits in the capital, they were all wiped out by the Zhongyonghou."

"So I have to go a little farther. I know that there is a small bandit den nearby. There are more than 20 people who are engaged in trail cutting. Because I am familiar with the local terrain, the local yamen and united soldiers have repeatedly failed to encircle and suppress them. I have long wanted to go there. Let's pack lightly and travel lightly, and we will go back and forth for three or four days." Zhuge Liuying said excitedly, "It's just for you to practice, and you can help me make suggestions and teach me how to organize women's espionage work during the journey."

Only then did Xiao Rui understand the purpose of Zhuge Liuying's coming to find him early in the morning, and he had to admire this woman's persistence in his heart. At the same time, I am very moved by her suggestion, and it is indeed a good idea to use bandits to practice knives. It's just that I left the city hastily. If Emperor Xia finds out, he will definitely be punished.

Just when Xiao Rui was hesitating, the reminder sounded in his mind again.

"Ding dong... New missions are open."

"New task: Exterminate the small bandit group outside Qiuyang County, 150 miles west of the capital. Task requirements: must be completed by the host and Zhuge Liuying in cooperation, and no other forces can be used. The time is five days. The task completion value +20 , the mission failed, and the descending value is deducted by 40. The current descending value: 40/100."

hesitate? Is Xiao Rui a hesitant person? If you don't even eat shit while it's hot, what can you achieve in life! Um... do it all over again.

If you don't even struggle early, what achievements can you make in life!

Xiao Rui asked: "Let's set off now."

"Okay!" Zhuge Liuying likes decisive people: "I'll go home immediately and arrange horses. You wait for me at the house for a while."

Gao Quan on the side looked confused, and it was too late to stop him.

Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang looked at each other, it was inappropriate for the prince to go to exterminate the bandits. The two looked at Jia Xu, but they saw Jia Xu shaking his head, telling them not to stop, and Jia Xu said: "Miss Zhuge, why don't you prepare an extra horse and let Wu Zhanfa follow, after all, His Highness's safety is very important." , there must be no accident. He is just accompanying and protecting."

"Okay!" Zhuge Liuying finished and left immediately.

Xiao Rui looked at Jia Xu and asked: "At home, I need to ask my husband to help cover it up. It's best not to let my father know."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "After a while, Your Highness will set off from the back door. There are forbidden troops arranged by His Majesty outside the mansion. Since Your Highness is going, I will definitely solve your worries."

"With Mr. here, I can rest assured."

Sure enough, as Zhuge Liuying said, she went back as soon as she went, and brought back two more good horses.

Xiao Rui and Wu Zhanfa changed into ordinary sackcloth, left through the back door, and then they rode out of the city towards Qiuyang County.

That evening, the three arrived at Qiuyang County.

Looking at the county town with simple folk customs and simple houses, it changed from the bustling and bustling capital city to full of tranquility and slow pace, which made Xiao Rui extremely uncomfortable.

The three of them got off their horses and strolled along the streets of the county town. This was the first time for Xiao Rui to step out of the capital and appreciate the outside world. Everything was so fresh.

They chose a small tavern, and the three of them tied up their horses and went in for dinner. They ordered four special dishes and a catty of water and wine.

"Your Highness, let's inquire about the bandit's whereabouts later, and start tracking down the exact location of the bandit tomorrow, okay?" Zhuge Liuying asked.

Xiao Rui said: "Okay, but you don't need to call me Your Highness when you are away from home. Be careful of revealing your identity. Why don't you just call me by my first name? You call me Xiao Rui, and I call you Liuying."

"Okay!" Zhuge Liuying immediately agreed without putting on an air.

Wu Zhanfa sat quietly at the side. He said that he was a hitch for this trip, and he could not make a move unless it was a last resort.

Soon, side dishes and drinks came.
