Zhu Lan is dead

Zhou Keyin was surprised to find that the man had a piece of jade on his right thumb.

Although the style of that piece of jade looks ancient, its workmanship is very exquisite. It is shaped like a cylinder, the lower end is flush with the upper end, and the front is decorated with double hooks in the shape of a beast. It looks like a glutton, with the mouth of the beast facing down. At the lower end of the back, a groove is horizontally carved to accommodate the bowstring.

This kind of jade was originally used to buckle the string and draw the bow. At first, it was to protect the fingers from being cut by the bowstring. However, it gradually became a pure ornament and lost its original function. Some people originally wore it. The kind of jade was either made of ordinary white jade or priceless jadeite, but he looked at this piece of jade, it was pure white and spotless, except for a slight yellowing over time, there was nothing too brilliant about it.

It's just that he couldn't figure out how such a rare practical jade would be carried on a man who was mainly engaged in business. Besides, this man behaved like a landscape literati. Yuwei, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a person who knows martial arts.

But remembering his first misjudgment of this man's image, Zhou Keyin silently bent his lips.

"Young master, what are you thinking of?" The man on the opposite side spoke slowly, seeing Zhou Keyin was stunned and said again: "I saw you just now seemed to be... laughing?"

Zhou Keyin reacted after hearing the words, and couldn't help smiling, "Indeed, I didn't expect to be seen by you!"

"Did you think of something good?" Liang Ke looked at him, rubbing the edge of the wine cup in his hand.

At this time, they were in one of the most prosperous restaurants in the capital, sitting on the best seats, tasting the best flower wine, in the area near the slanted window, looking at the surrounding Xiaojing River, in the twilight. The halo becomes gradually darker.

Originally because of Woxuan's proposal, Zhou Lixiao had no choice but to make an excuse to agree. However, due to the many incidents in the past few days and the accident at the riding and shooting ceremony that day, Zhou Keyin has not been able to make the appointment in time. After a good discussion, I used an excuse to go to see Uncle Wang.

But it was concealed in private, came to play outside the palace, and brought Zhou Liandi with her by the way, because she avoided being busy with people, so she changed her name casually.

Zhou Keyin looked at the boats coming and going and the continuous flow of people on the river bank not far away, seeing those boats full of tourists and sailing to unknown distant places one by one, inexplicably yearning in his heart, he turned his head , "It's not a good thing, I'm just curious about what is that jade pendant in your hand, Brother Liang, it looks a little strange?"

When Liang Ke heard this, she smiled faintly, "It's a rhinoceros horn!"

"Rhino horn?"

"Well." Liang Ke said: "I probably travel around a lot, and by chance in a foreign country, I got a rhinoceros horn jade horn by bartering with others, and I kept it with me when I saw Xinxi!"

"So that's it!" Zhou Keyin nodded, "It's just that this jade was originally used to draw the string and draw the bow. Since Brother Liang is willing to bring this thing, it must be good for archery, right?"

Slightly caressing the lines on the surface with her fingers, Liang Ke said with a smile: "It's not a good use, it's just a little bit of superficial knowledge!"

"That……"

"Then you can compete with me next time, it's doable!"

Before Zhou Keyin could say anything, a flamboyant but sweet voice came over. The two of them looked and saw Zhou Liandi walking up the stairs with a lantern in her hand, and behind her was a sleeper dressed in purple. Xuan, even though this man is smiling all over his face now, Liang Ke can tell that he is actually enduring it.

Zhou Liandi came over with a lantern and wanted to show it to Zhou Keyin. Woxuan walked over to Liang Ke's side exhaustedly. When he was about to sit down, Zhou Liandi stopped her with her hand, "Wait, I'll change seats with you. Sit with Brother Liang Ke!"

Zhou Keyin glanced at her helplessly, but Wo Xuan waved his hand, "It's all right, the world is not as big as you, I will let you, let you!" Although his tone was somewhat helpless, but Liang But Ke could clearly feel that this person was a little elated, and when she sat down, she moved the chair to Zhou Keyin's side calmly.

Zhou Liandi smiled obviously very satisfied, then sat down beside Liang Ke, and started talking and laughing with him.

When they met for the first time, although Zhou Liandi showed a very rare or even rare coquettish shyness towards Liang Ke, she was still very generous to sit and chat with him afterwards.

And her temperament has always been as open and forthright as a man's. Just now when Woxuan took her to the streets, although she was talking and laughing, she was not as close as she and Liang Ke are now, and the two people's thoughts were really serious. They are not on the same line. Regarding this matter, anyone with a discerning eye can tell who the princess really likes.

Zhou Keyin silently sipped his tea and watched. He actually didn't agree with Zhou Liandi's idea. Regardless of the fact that he didn't know Liang Ke's identity background enough, his father would not agree to Liang Ke's identity as a businessman, but he I don't know how to persuade, although it is not necessarily a good thing to marry Guo Rong with Woxuanyuan, but after all it is related to the interests and peace between the two countries, even if Woxuan has no feelings for Zhou Liandi, she can let her be free Perhaps Zhou Liandi knew about life, but he didn't want his sister to suffer any harm.

Although Zhou Liandi looked a little reckless, her mind was very simple. If she couldn't be given what she wanted, maybe as long as she was free, she would be able to live happily like this for the rest of her life.

At this time, the person who had been sitting beside him for a while suddenly leaned over, "Brother Zhou?"

"Huh?" Zhou Keyin came back to his senses, seeing that he seemed a little close, he wanted to back away calmly, who knew that he took a step back and the man took a step forward, he couldn't help being speechless, so he leaned slightly and said: "What is it?"

Wo Xuan raised his brows and eyes, his eyes were a little drunk, "I came here this time, and it seems that I made a wedding dress for someone else. I don't have to marry you, my sister, so what do you think?"

"..." Zhou Keyin was very speechless. As soon as this person came up, he made it clear that he couldn't accept it, and he couldn't say some fluffy words to comfort this person, so he said: "There is also a knot in the heart. Qianzhuan, this joyful thing, others really can't talk about it."

"Really?" Wo Xuan squinted his eyes, and Zhou Keyin realized that the man squinted his eyes like a fox, "Then there are hundreds of times of heart-wrenching, and it's possible that those who miss it or those who are unhappy will return it sooner or later." Will be back?"

"This……"

Zhou Keyin is really speechless now, he has never been emotional since he grew up, and he has never been in contact with the love between men and women, he just said it casually, but this person asked, and looked at this person puzzled As if he wanted to get to the bottom of it, Zhou Keyin only thought that he was a little disappointed that Zhou Liandi didn't like him, and couldn't help saying: "There is a change of heart, and there is also love at first sight. In the world, the word "emotion" is the most complicated word. Not good or bad, I am a person who doesn't understand, why do you make things difficult for me?"

"Really?" The fox narrowed his eyes again, as if he was thinking about something, but he still maintained the posture just now leaning against Zhou Keyin, who was forced to lean against the wall by him. From behind, it looked like Zhou Keyin was in Woxuan's arms.

"Then, what should I do if I fall in love at first sight with someone who doesn't understand feelings?"

Zhou Keyin was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't realize what the fox was saying, but Liang Ke who was at the side couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, and the expression in his eyes gradually deepened.

This old fox, can't help but want to fuck so soon?

Looking at the astonished eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him, Wo Xuan felt an impatient itch in his heart, and wanted to reach out and touch the prey he was eyeing!

"Are... are you kidding me?" Zhou Keyin looked at him.

"I didn't drink!" The fox still stared at him, but he didn't answer the question.

Zhou Keyin just inexplicably felt a bone-piercing chill on his body, and couldn't help but said, "I know you haven't been drinking..."

"I'm just kidding!"

"..."

Seeing that Zhou Keyin was already in a state of complete bewilderment, Wo Xuan finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and sat back in his original position.

"My lord, don't pay attention to him, this person... is boring and likes to joke!" Liang Ke relieved himself when he saw this.

Zhou Liandi, who was still fiddling with lanterns here, also followed suit: "Yeah, brother, you don't care about this guy, he just went out with me on the street, and he teased me a lot!"

Zhou Keyin nodded slowly when he heard the words, and straightened his sitting posture, but his hands couldn't help shaking. I don't know if it was an illusion or what, but he always felt that this man... was a little dangerous.

His fingers moved slightly, but his eyes were cold and deep.

Yu Changqi sat quietly on the edge of the bed, with his thin collar slightly open, revealing his delicate and delicate collarbone. He was wearing a white robe on his shoulders, which was surrounded by a layer of snow-white fluorescence under the candlelight.

"My lord? Are you okay?" The old doctor who had been treating him before was standing aside respectfully.

"It's nothing." The handsome face is slightly pale and weak. These days, she seldom moves, and has been lying on the bed all the time, so that the blood is not flowing smoothly, causing the complexion to turn paler, and even the person is not very energetic, Yu Changqi He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "How is Yuan Yi?"

"Everything is ready, just wait for the time to come, and yesterday's new batch of porcelain..."

"What do people say?"

"It's just trying to cover up!" said the old doctor.

Yu Changqi looked up at him, "Same as a few days ago?"

"Indeed, the subordinates sent people to check one by one. What those people want to transport into the city is not porcelain at all, but military supplies..."

"That's right..." Yu Changqi lowered his eyebrows and twisted his fingers, feeling tired for a while.

"Your Majesty? It's just that your Majesty is a bit too much this time..." The old doctor paused, and then said in another way: "If you don't let the wind out this time, let others know, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"Do you think there is room for us?" Yu Changqi looked at him, his tone a little more unquestionable, "Since there are some things to be done, we must do them well, otherwise when others fight back, they will regret it and be beaten."

The author has something to say:

①The predecessor of the finger is called 韘 (shè)

"Shuowen" said: "韘, shoot also", indicating that this weapon is a riding and shooting tool.

Jade 韘 is a tool for hand protection, which is worn on the string-drawing finger to hold the bowstring.

At the same time, when the arrow is released, it can also prevent the fingers from being scratched by the bowstring that is drawn back rapidly.
