Every transmigration is in Shura field [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 96 Raising a Wolf Cub 1
"His Royal Highness said very well, I appreciate you very much, I don't need anything else, I just want you."
Zha Da's words had just finished, and everyone seemed to have never thought that the tribal leader would raise such a condition. They were stunned for a moment, and Xie Ling, who had been standing behind Yuan Bai, was the first to reprimand angrily:
"Presumptuous! How dare you insult His Highness the Crown Prince like this!"
The clenched fists showed the master's anger. While Xie Ling forcibly restrained himself from the urge to rush up and kill this barbarian, his heart was already filled with rage. This barbarian who grew up drinking goat milk actually wanted to take his brother as himself have?Looking at Zha Da's eyes examining Yuan Bai, he wanted to dig out his eyes with his own hands.
Not only Xie Ling was furious, but even the captain said angrily: "Zha Da, do you know that if you say such a word, it is a death penalty for disrespect!"
Leaving aside the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been admired by him for a long time, naturally this rude barbarian is not allowed to be so defiled!Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the representative of the Qing Kingdom at this moment, and in some respects it represents the entire Qing Kingdom. Zha Da's words are really unforgivable!
Compared to Xie Ling and the captain's unresolved anger, Yuan Bai's reaction was very calm, his beautiful eyes looked at Zha Da who was sitting on the ground, waiting for the next sentence.
Zha Da looked at the two followers behind Prince Qing, quite disdainful, he gently supported the ground with one hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, is my request too much? Why did your followers react so much?" so big?"
Yuan Bai looked at Zha Da who stood up, and heard that the barbarians were all strong and tall, and Zha Da personally confirmed it, Yuan Bai said: "General Zha Da seems not ready for this peace negotiation, including the one just now , it’s already two times of nonsense.”
Yuan Bai looked into Zha Da's eyes, and his eyes became sharp: "Everything must be based on strength, and the same is true for what you want. Today's time is more than wrong, so please think twice before you speak, and think carefully before speaking."
Xie Ling stood behind Yuan Bai, staring at Zha Da fiercely, if this barbarian dares to speak rudely again...
Zha frowned indistinctly. The prince of the Qing Kingdom is really a representative of the southerners. He has mastered the cunning of the southerners. No matter how he tries or provokes him, he can easily turn big things into small things. The problem is thrown to myself, but I can't figure out his attitude and thoughts at all, so the situation will become very unfavorable if this continues.
Yuan Bai quietly waited for the next sentence, Zha Da's thoughts at this moment were very clear to him.
Looking at Yuan Bai standing aside smiling and not saying a word, with his slender and tall figure, his handsome appearance, and the elegance of his every move, all these things seemed to turn into a cat's tail, making his heart itch.
As Yuan Bai said before, Jiayun Pass is like a ripe potato that is getting hotter and hotter to him, and this handsome and wise Prince is really not to be underestimated. Put the two together, compare them, and weigh them Then came out.
Zha Da laughed twice and replied: "We are different from you southerners. We never hide our liking. I like His Royal Highness. There is nothing shameful about it. According to the rules on our grassland, when we meet someone we like People just want to snatch back the camp, but I don't have the ability to snatch His Highness back, but His Highness's words are not bad, so how about following His Highness's words and judging by strength?"
This rule is not bad. If Qing Kingdom also had such a tradition, Xie Ling's blackening value would probably be more than 30 points now...
Thinking of this in his heart, Yuan Bai also smiled politely: "I agree with General Zha Da's statement, so I don't know what the general plans to do?"
"Then let's have a competition. If His Highness the Crown Prince wins, King Jiayun Guan Ben will give back unconditionally. However, if His Highness the Crown Prince loses..." At this point, Zha Da's deep eyes stared at Yuan Bai's eyes , One word at a time: "If Your Highness loses, then Your Highness will follow me."
Xie Ling couldn't stand it anymore, he should have known that this barbaric dog couldn't spit out ivory, so he was about to charge up and fight!Being blocked by Yuan Bai's hand, Xie Ling first glanced at the arm lying across his chest, then turned his head to look at Yuan Bai, feeling a little bit of grievance in his exasperation, and said, "Brother, he is so rude... "Yuan Bai glanced at Xie Ling, beckoning him to stay calm, then looked at Zha Da, and smiled with his lips curled up: "Okay, it's a deal."
Yuan Bai's words were resounding, Zha Da's eyes lit up, he was quite surprised, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Qing Kingdom would agree, as long as he dared to fight, he would have the confidence to snatch this elegant beauty back to the grassland !
Zha Da was happy, but Xie Ling looked at Yuan Bai in disbelief: "Brother, how could you... how could you agree to his request!"
Yuan Bai just glanced at Xie Ling and ignored him.
Then he said, "Then I don't know how to compete?"
Zha Da thought for a while: "It's simple, we will send one person, you will send one person, and the two will compete on behalf of the two countries."
Yuan Bai naturally had no objection. Zha Da looked at Yuan Bai's attitude, and his heart was already smiling. He glanced at Xie Ling who was at the side, and smiled contemptuously, with a slight disdain in his tone: "Then this boy seems to care about the prince very much. Your Highness? Do you dare to compete with this king?"
As soon as Zha Da's voice fell, there was a burst of laughter, Xie Ling gritted his teeth, boy?How dare this dog dare to make fun of himself?
Before Xie Ling could exit, the captain arrived first: "Didn't you say that each side sent one person? How could it be a choice!" He didn't understand Xie Ling, just like Zha Da, Xie Ling was just a young boy with him, How can the prince's safety be entrusted to such a person.
Yuan Bai looked at Xie Ling who seemed to be invading his territory, like a lion ready to go, the atmosphere became tense now, and the long eyelashes drooped slightly, making it difficult to see whether his eyes were too big Thinking about something, only heard: "Okay, I will let Xie Ling fight."
Xie Ling looked at Yuan Bai, with indescribable emotions in his eyes: "Brother?"
Yuan Bai smiled at him: "Don't panic, I believe you."
Yuan Bai's decision hit Zha Da's hands. In his eyes, Xie Ling is just a boy. Now he thinks that this competition is guaranteed to win, and all the beauties in the country are destined to belong to him: "Oh? How dare this little brother?" Don't you dare to fight? Don't panic when you get to the field!"
Encouraged by Yuan Bai, Xie Ling calmed down, looked at the arrogant Zha Da, pursed his thin lips, and said in a cold voice: "There's so much nonsense, just talk about it?"
Zha Da rolled his eyes: "Since they are all men, they must show their masculinity. The comparison must be riding and shooting..."
A trace of sarcasm flashed across Xie Ling's eyes, riding and shooting?OK.
There was also a little smile in Yuanbai's eyes, as he expected, this Zha Da would definitely choose his housekeeping skills, riding and shooting, and Xie Ling's riding and shooting naturally needless to say, he is bound to win Jiayun Pass .
Xie Ling turned around and led the steed behind him, Zha Da looked at the bow and arrow tied to the horse, and said with a smile: "So the little brother has also practiced riding and archery? But this king will not show mercy, so today's competition will be given to you The boy doll is in class."
Xie Ling glanced at Zha Da blankly, thinking coldly in his heart: You are an arrogant barbarian who dares to covet your elder brother, and you will lose face later.
"How to compete? What rules?" Xie Ling said coldly, holding the rein with one hand and stroking the horse's mane with the other.
Facing Xie Ling's contempt, Zha Da's face darkened, and he thought that he must show some color to this little brat today: "Two wins in three rounds, the competition is divided into three items, the first item, which is the last Basic target shooting, one person shoots three arrows, and when three arrows come down, the one whose arrows are the closest to the bull’s eye wins; the second item, hunting, I sent someone to release a sika deer in this forest, who can find and hunt it first Killing is the winner; the third item, there is a gray rabbit in the forest, the rabbit is tied with a red ribbon, and there is a bell on the ribbon. If the rabbit does not die, shoot the bell and it will be the winner. , if you shoot the rabbit by mistake, you will lose the round.”
Xie Ling nodded after listening, and opened her thin lips lightly: "Okay."
Zha Da grinned and waved to the men behind him: "Come on, set up a target."
In this gap, Yuan Bai led Xie Ling aside, and explained: "Suppress first and then raise, Zhata riding and shooting is very good, if you want to win steadily, you must let the opponent take it lightly."
Xie Ling looked at Yuan Bai with a serious face, and nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I won't let that barbarian succeed, no one can take you away from me!"
Xie Ling's age made his face look between a teenager and a young man. Looking at Xie Ling's smiling face and his firm eyes, Yuan Bai was stunned for a moment, then reacted and rubbed his face with a smile. Rubbing his head: "It's so good."
Zha Da looked at the target in the distance, and smiled confidently. It seemed that it was God's favor. He was going to have this beauty in his pocket. Thinking of this, Zha Da looked around and saw Yuan Bai and Xie Ling talking under the tree. You laughed, suddenly displeased, and shouted at them: "Boy, do you still have to study before the exam? Why did His Royal Highness give you some tricks?"
The conversation between the two was interrupted by Zha Da, Xie Ling glared at Zha Da, and strolled over.
Looking at the target in the distance, the target distance is much longer than the usual practice range, it seems that Zha Da is deliberately embarrassing himself.
Zha Da looked at Xie Ling at the side, and said slowly: "This is based on our target distance, it should be too far for the little brother, but you southerners archery is too much like a play, and you will experience it today. Let’s take a look at the demeanor of our Northwest boy!”
Xie Ling glanced at him indifferently, why does this person talk so much nonsense?
"let's start."
Xie Ling's disdain and arrogance were all in his eyes, and he felt more and more that Xie Ling was just a bratty brat, so he took up his long bow and pointed his finger at the bull's-eye: "I'll show you a sample, please. ?”
Xie Ling took out a feathered arrow from the quiver, aimed and shot it.When the feather arrow hit the target, someone rode a horse and dared to report the result. After hearing this, Zha Da laughed loudly and said, "The archery is not bad, but I still need to practice for a few more years."
Xie Ling pretended not to hear Zha Da's provocation, and shot another arrow.
Zha Da teased Yuan Bai who was on the side: "I can't see the subordinates of His Royal Highness, but their temper is very delicate!"
Yuan Bai did not follow his words, but stretched out his hand and said, "Second arrow, general please."
Afterwards, the subordinates came and hit the bull's-eye again.
In the first round, Zhada won.
Xie Ling didn't speak, turned around and walked to the horse, jumped on the horse neatly, the captain handed the reins to Xie Ling's hands, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, you must not lose this game. "
Xie Ling pursed his lips and nodded, then drove the horse and galloped towards the forest.
As Zha Da said, there is only one sika deer in this forest, and it is also a matter of luck to shoot the sika deer in this round. It depends on who can find the sika deer first.
Where the horseshoes went, a crowd of birds started up, and the sound of horseshoes behind them gradually approached, and Zhada's voice came from behind: "Boy, if you lose this game, your highness the crown prince will be mine! Hahaha "
Zha Da's words completely aroused Xie Ling's anger, and he cursed: "Just wait and see, barbarian!" He said that he gripped the rein tightly in his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and flew to the depths of the forest.
The deep part of the forest was damp, and the ground was much softer than outside. Xie Ling gently pulled the reins to slow down the horse's speed, thinking not to disturb the sika deer, but there was still no deer in the forest, thank you Ling Tiao changed direction and continued to search until he saw the imprint on the ground. He was overjoyed. It was the hoof print of a sika deer!
I rushed along the mark, and after a while, I saw a sika deer grazing deep in the grass. Xie Ling stopped his horse quietly, and when he picked up his bow and arrow and was about to shoot, he heard a sound of hooves. The deer's hearing is sharper than people's , I saw the sika deer flying up and fleeing immediately, Xie Ling immediately drove his horse to catch up, and frowned when he heard the sound of Zhada behind him: "Fortunately, the king came in time."
Xie Ling whipped his horsewhip and accelerated towards the sika deer. Behind him was Zha Da who was also chasing after him. When the sika deer appeared in sight again, the two drew their bows and shot arrows almost at the same time. Zha Da aimed at the deer, and the arrow He flew out of the string, but was shot on the ground by Xie Ling's feathered arrow. Xie Ling smiled, and when he was stunned, he shot another arrow, killing the sika deer, and the arrow pierced through the throat!
Zha Da looked at the fallen sika deer not far away, and the arrows he had fallen on the ground, his face darkened, and he immediately understood that Xie Ling had deliberately released water in the first round!Then he said in a cold voice: "Oh...it seems that the king was careless."
Xie Ling cast a cold glance at Zha and replied, "The third game is about to begin."
In the depths of the jungle, the two were chasing after each other on two steeds. After Zada found out Xie Ling's true level, he never dared to slack off. The two shuttled through the jungle with all their strength until they heard The copper bell sounded under the sound of horseshoes, the eyes of both of them flashed, and the rabbit was nearby!
Xie Ling is just young and has good hearing. This is one of the reasons why Zada has been following him. Xie Ling recognized the direction, turned the horse's head and galloped over. Behind him was the sound of Zada's hooves. Xie Ling turned around and challenged Zada. With a smile, Zha Da whipped the whip and overtook the past!It's now!Xie Ling turned around again and rushed in the opposite direction. Zha Da realized it was too late, and cursed: "Cunning southerners!"
The gray rabbit ran away and was hard to find in the grass. Xie Ling could only distinguish its direction by listening to the sound. The sound of horseshoes behind him approached again. Xie Ling picked up the bow and arrow and shot towards the sound of the bell. Arrow couldn't help restraining his breath, and saw the grass rippling for a while, and then recovered, Xie Ling smiled and got off the horse.
The grass was peeled off along the feather arrow, and a red ribbon tied with a bell was nailed to the ground by the feather arrow. Xie Ling pulled out the feather arrow with a little force, shook Zada behind him, and said coldly: "How? Admit defeat? ?”
The iron-colored arrow pierced the red ribbon, and the bell rang with the swaying movement. Zha Da gritted his teeth secretly, and the hand holding the rein was so hard that it turned white. After a while, he turned around and left.
Xie Ling looked at the back of Zha Da leaving, and smiled mockingly, dare to ask Brother Yuanbai in front of him?Then get ready to lose flat.
Everyone outside the woods also became anxious, except for Yuan Bai who couldn't hold back, the captain even said anxiously behind Yuan Bai: "His Royal Highness, if Xie Ling loses, is it possible that he will really be taken away by this barbarian?" ?”
Yuan Bai's eyes were only looking in the direction of the woods, and he shook his head upon hearing the sound.
Seeing Yuan Bai's reaction, the captain thought he had other plans, so he breathed a sigh of relief and joked, if the crown prince was taken away by this barbarian, let alone his head, even sitting in the nine tribes would not be enough for the emperor to chop off!
Before the captain could adjust, Yuan Bai said softly: "I believe that Xie Ling will never lose."
Only the captain, who had just experienced ups and downs, was left with a stunned expression: "..."
Following a commotion in the crowd, the figures of Xie Ling and Zha Da appeared in the eyes of everyone. The two drove their horses closer, and saw a sika deer on Xie Ling's horse. Listening to the whispers of Zha Da's subordinates, the original There was also a smile on Bai's face.
Xie Ling threw the sika deer on the ground, smiled at Yuan Bai, and got off the horse.
"Do what you say, here, brother." After speaking, he handed the feathered arrow wearing a red ribbon to Yuan Bai.
Yuan Bai took the feather arrow, looked at the red ribbon on it, shook it lightly, a crisp copper bell sounded, Yuan Bai smiled, and said to Xie Ling, "Well done."
Walking in front of Zha Da, General Yuan Bai showed the feathered arrow in his hand, with a polite smile on his handsome face: "General Zha Da, after three rounds of competition, the results are obvious to all, our side won two out of three rounds."
Zha Da looked at Yuan Bai in front of him, and snorted softly, "I didn't say you guys lost."
The smile on Yuan Bai's face was even bigger: "It's very good, I hope General Zha Da can do what he says."
Zha Da and Yuan Bai looked at each other for a few seconds, and said, "This king keeps his word. This time, this king carelessly underestimates the enemy. The king of Jiayunguan will withdraw his troops and return."
Yuan Bai's expression also became serious, and he nodded: "On this point, I admire General Zha Da."
Zha Da snorted: "Now let's talk about these good things, but I am waiting for the day when I will meet His Highness the Crown Prince again on the battlefield. At that time, I will definitely take His Highness back to the camp."
After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to take a look at Xie Ling's reaction, and said to the subordinates behind him, "Let's go!"
Xie Ling watched Zha Da's back slowly walk away, and walked to Yuan Bai, with a bright smile on his young and handsome face, which made people think of the morning sun, dazzling but comfortable: "Congratulations brother, Live up to your mission and take back Jiayun Pass!"
Yuan Bai stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes, and said gently, "Thanks to Ling'er."
The smile in Xie Ling's eyes deepened when he heard this, and he said loudly: "In that case, how will brother reward me?"
Yuan Bai was amused by his greed, pretended to think for a while, and then said: "I can't think of it, what does Ling'er want?"
Xie Ling looked into Yuan Bai's eyes: "Whatever you want, brother will give you?"
Looking at Xie Ling's eyes, Yuan Bai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that... after thinking about it, he shook his head secretly. How could it be? Xie Ling is still young, so he thought too much: "Well...you can give me whatever you want. , as long as it is what I have."
The smile on Xie Ling's face completely widened: "Then I'll keep this for now, and I'll ask my brother to ask for it some other day."
Yuan Bai smiled and shook his head, with a rather helpless expression: "Well, let's go first."
Back at the barracks, Colonel Xie Ling followed Yuan Bai into the camp tent. The captain's face was filled with joy as he knelt on the ground and congratulated Yuan Bai: "Congratulations, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you have recaptured Jiayun Pass without a single soldier!"
Yuan Bai helped the captain up, and said with a smile: "This matter can be accomplished, the captain also contributed a lot."
The captain shook his head and glanced at Xie Ling, with undisguised admiration and admiration in his eyes: "Your Majesty the Crown Prince is ashamed of what he said, and I will make peace with Zha Da today, and take back Jiayun Pass after three rounds of competition. It’s because of His Royal Highness’s witty words and Brother Xie Ling’s excellent kung fu!” Then he extended his thumb towards Xie Ling: “In terms of riding and shooting, we are indeed no match for the barbarians, they claim to have grown up on horseback, riding and shooting Even children can do it, and Zada's riding and archery skills are even better, Xie Ling brothers can win back Jiayun Pass from Zada, it's really impressive!"
Xie Ling didn't have a good impression of this captain at first, but now he actually praised himself in front of his brother, which gave him a lot of face. It's not too annoying, Xie Ling nodded lightly on the surface: "Lord Captain you flatter me."
Yuan Bai discussed a few more words with the captain, and brought the topic back to normal: "Now that Jiayun Pass has been taken back, it's time for me to return to my mission."
The captain looked at Yuan Bai: "Why is Your Highness returning to Beijing in such a hurry?"
Yuan Bai nodded: "The northern part of the Qing Kingdom has been lost, and some people in the court are inevitably panicked. As the prince, I have such an important mission. Now that the city is taken back, I should set off immediately and return to the palace to return to my command."
After hearing this, the captain felt very relieved, and nodded in agreement: "When will His Royal Highness leave?"
Yuan Bai said: "Tomorrow morning, let's set off immediately. I also hope that the captain has conveyed to me the lightly armed thirteen riders. Let them rectify tonight and return to Beijing early tomorrow morning to return to their orders."
The captain responded and left.
When Yuan Bai was talking, Xie Ling kept silent, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Although Xie Ling didn't like Zha Da, he admired this man on the grassland very much-he Dare to directly say what he likes in his heart, even the kind of life he mentioned is actually the life Xie Ling yearns for.
Xie Ling asked Yuan Bai: "Brother, do you like this place?"
Yuan Bai was a little confused, so he asked back, "Why does Xiao Ling ask such a question?"
Xie Ling replied: "If brother likes it, we might as well stay here."
Xie Ling had already figured it out clearly, if he could have his elder brother stay by his side in Jiayunguan, he would not need the status of prince.
Thinking of staying here, Yuan Bai's eyes could not help but light up. When Xie Ling and Zadabbi tried riding and shooting, he also had a panoramic view of the grassland. It is more grassy and fat, and it is not difficult for him to understand why Zha Da would give up Jiayun Pass so easily and his plan to go south. From the bottom of his heart, he also has a carefree desire to herd sheep outside the Great Wall
But his thoughts like this just flashed through Yuan Bai's mind, and soon he came to his senses, he shook his head and said:
"I am the crown prince of the Qing Kingdom, how can I stay here forever, my father will not allow it."
Hearing Yuan Bai mentioned Emperor Qing, and thinking of what Emperor Qing had done to Yuan Bai before, Xie Ling's tone became more urgent, and he said to Yuan Bai: "All the cities including Jiayun Pass are I am willing to be loyal to my brother, why does my brother go back to the palace and be manipulated by others..."
Originally, when Xie Ling said these things, Yuan Bai just listened absent-mindedly, but when he heard Xie Ling's last words, Yuan Bai suddenly thought of something, he turned his head to look at Xie Ling and said:
"You already know?"
Yuan Bai thought about it carefully at this time, he vaguely remembered that Xie Ling brought him back to the camp, if he saw the marks on his body, it shouldn't be difficult to guess what.
Although Yuan Bai didn't fully explain what he had said, Xie Ling also understood that what Yuan Bai said was that he already knew what Emperor Qing did to Yuan Bai.
Xie Ling's expression became a little stiff, but he still nodded and said:
"Yes."
The two of them didn't speak for a while, Yuan Bai turned his head away, his eyes were a little more depressed, but he was also very thankful that it was Xie Ling who knew about it, and Xie Ling also showed contempt for him, instead He was always thinking about himself, for fear that he would fall into the jaws of a tiger after returning to the palace.
In fact, there is no need for Xie Ling to say, Yuan Bai knew very well in his heart that when the crisis at Jiayunguan was lifted, Emperor Qing would definitely not let him and Xie Ling go easily, but of course he couldn't agree to Xie Ling, even if he wanted to agree to Xie Ling. Ling, it is impossible for the system to agree.
Thinking of this, Yuan Bai consoled Xie Ling: "Father is just impulsive, I am his biological son after all, he won't really do anything to me."
But the key is that you are not his biological son!
Xie Ling said painfully in his heart, Yuan Bai didn't know, but Xie Ling knew Yuan Bai's life experience in his heart, but he couldn't tell Yuan Bai directly, because he only learned about Yuan Bai from Ning Qiu. There is no sufficient evidence for Bai's life experience, and secondly, Xie Ling doesn't want Yuan Bai to know, in fact, Yuan Bai is not Qinghuang's biological son, he is afraid that if Yuan Bai finds out about this, without the barrier of father-son relationship, Yuan Bai might choose to be with Qing Huang.
Although Zha Da, the captain and Xie Ling all strongly opposed Yuan Bai's return to the capital, but no matter what, Yuan Bai did not change his mind. In the end, it was the captain who, in the name of protecting the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, offered Yuan Bai another Arranged fifteen guards, and asked them to protect Yuan Bai after they arrived in the capital.
Yuan Bai had just led Xie Ling and more than twenty cavalry out of the city. Before he had gone for a long time, Yuan Bai vaguely heard someone shouting from behind. The businessman who sent Zada the message was galloping towards him on horseback at this time.
"His Royal Highness! Huh, finally caught up."
The businessman said out of breath, and behind the businessman was a servant leading a horse.
Yuan Bai looked at the servant leading the horse and asked, "This is?"
The businessman replied: "This is the Chollima given to His Highness by Zada, the King of the Grassland."
Grassland king, the kind of king with a green grassland on his head?
Hearing what the businessman said, Yuan Bai couldn't help thinking in his heart, but seeing the horse, with its flowing black mane, it did look much taller than ordinary horses, and even its eyes were deeper.
The businessman said again: "The Prairie King also said that if His Highness has anything to do, the king's tent will always be opened for His Highness."
Yuan Bai: "..."
Is this guy still thinking of tricking himself into his camp?
Although Zha Da lost to Xie Ling in the previous competition and was forced to accept the peace agreement and quit Jiayun Pass, he still enjoys the vast grassland north of Jiayun Pass, so Yuan Bai couldn't just refuse him directly As a gift, he kept the horse and ordered a guard to take care of the horse.
Seeing that Yuan Bai just accepted the horse, but did not directly ride it, Xie Ling's vigilant eyes from before finally moved away from the businessman, and the businessman completed the task, and immediately left.
Although the group of people was not in a hurry to rush back to the capital of the Qing Kingdom, Yuan Bai did not want to delay, so he hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the capital of the Qing Kingdom on the tenth day.
Knowing that Yuan Bai was about to arrive in the capital in advance, Emperor Qing led a group of officials to greet him ten miles away from the capital. Even many people in the capital had heard the news, and they all couldn't wait to see the triumphant return. His Royal Highness.
Yuan Bai and his party just came to the outskirts of the city, and before Yuan Bai got off his horse, Emperor Qing in his crown had already stepped forward and said, "Xuan'er."
It's just that I haven't seen him for a month, and Qinghuang looked a bit haggard, but the moment he saw Yuan Bai, he suddenly became radiant.
Seeing Emperor Qing at this time, and seeing his haggard appearance, Yuan Bai softened his heart for a moment, let go of the grudge in his heart, knelt down on one knee and said:
"My son pays homage to my father, is my father well?"
Emperor Qing helped Yuan Bai up: "Xuan'er please stand up, if Xuan'er can return safely, everything will be fine for Gu."
Although Xie Ling behind Yuan Bai was a bit reluctant, seeing that Yuan Bai had already knelt down at this time, he followed behind Yuan Bai and bowed to Emperor Qing. Originally, Emperor Qing would just ignore him like before. Knowing that this time, Emperor Qing looked at Xie Ling with eyes full of admiration and kindness.
This should be the first time Emperor Qing looked at Xie Ling with straight eyes. Obviously, he had heard about the defeat of King Zha of the Grassland to Xie Ling. Emperor Qing had to admit that this son whom he had never looked down on was gradually surpassing him. He would even replace him one day, just like how Qinghuang replaced his father back then. This made Qinghuang feel a little panic in his heart, and he decided to get rid of Xie Ling as soon as possible.
But on the surface, Emperor Qing still looked like a loving father. He said to Xie Ling: "Ling'er is worthy of being an orphaned son. This time, Ling'er was able to take down Jiayun Pass without bloodshed. Linger's contribution is indisputable."
Qinghuang's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the officials behind him to hear clearly. If Yuan Bai remembered correctly, this should be the first time Qinghuang admitted that Xie Ling was his son in public.
Emperor Qing actually admitted Xie Ling's status as a prince, which made Yuan Bai feel that something was wrong. This so-called banquet was probably a Hongmen banquet, and for the guards who came from Jiayun Pass, they felt that something was wrong. Surprised.
This young man is also Emperor Qing's son?That is to say, he is Qinghuang's unrecognized prince?
They are very clear about how this young man won Zha Da. With such skill in riding and shooting, they originally thought that Xie Ling was the descendant of a general in the capital, but now they know that Xie Ling is actually the one in the capital. Rumor has it that Emperor Qing never cared about his illegitimate son.
But judging by Emperor Qing's reaction at this time, this illegitimate son has finally made it through and can enjoy the honor of being a prince.
Thinking of this, they looked at Xie Ling with more envy.
Regarding Qinghuang's words, Xie Ling had a thought in his mind at this time: it's nothing to show courtesy, it's either rape or robbery.
Before Xie Ling was taken into the palace by Emperor Qing, he lived at the bottom of the Qing Kingdom, and this sentence was the one he heard the most. own people.
Although Qinghuang looked at him full of concern and admiration, Xie Ling also vaguely saw the flash of killing intent deep in Qinghuang's eyes, Xie Ling's heart sank suddenly, and the two After staring at each other for a long time, Xie Ling said to Qinghuang:
"Thank you, Father, for your compliment."
Although Xie Ling's eyes seemed harmless, Qinghuang could see the ice-like coldness in his eyes,
It didn't look like the eyes of a 12-year-old child at all, but rather like a wild beast desperately protecting its cubs, those eyes were...wolf eyes.
At this time, Emperor Qing finally remembered that he had been attacked by a wolf when he was a teenager, and that wolf looked at him in the same way. If it wasn't for that time, the prince's thanks appeared in time and forced the wolf back with a sword. The female wolf, I am afraid that she has already been buried in the wolf's belly.
Qinghuang didn't understand at the time why the female wolf was so desperate, even after being hit by several arrows, she would rush towards him again and again, but Xie Ci took away the messy dead branches around Qinghuang, and hidden inside Three little wolf cubs whose eyes have not yet opened.
At that time, Xie Ci said: "Even a wolf has the feeling of protecting a calf."
Qing Huang looked at Xie Ling, he started to think, for Xie Ling, who would be the cub he desperately wanted to protect?
However, Emperor Qing did not forget his purpose, he still had a smile on his face, and said to Yuan Bai and Xie Ling:
"The banquet has been set up in the palace. Xuan'er and Ling'er will go to the banquet together with Gu. All the soldiers have worked hard, so let's go together."
Xie Ling hesitated for a moment, and whispered to the soldier who was in charge of taking care of the horse that Zha Da had given him. When everyone was heading towards the palace, the horse under Xie Ling's crotch also turned into the horse. A BMW that can travel thousands of miles a day.
Xie Ling was very vigilant along the way. If it was said that Emperor Qing had no conspiracy, Xie Ling would not believe it even if killed. The only thing he is not sure now is when Emperor Qing will launch an attack.
Qinghuang didn't do anything on the road, the group of people arrived in the palace, the tables in the hall of the palace were already filled with fine wines, and everything looked normal, but before the banquet started, Qinghuang had already set off. Most of the ministers were invited, except for Yuan Bai, only Xie Ling and the dozen or so cavalry brought back by Yuan Bai from Jiayun Pass were on the banquet.
The banquet had just started, and after everyone was seated, it was obviously a happy scene, but Xie Ling raised the wine glass in his hand and asked Qinghuang:
"Father wants to use the trick of prescribing medicine again?"
After Xie Ling finished speaking, the dozen or so cavalry had drawn their long swords from their waists. They were far away from Jiayun Pass, and they were not completely loyal to Emperor Qing. They were only loyal to those they admired and admired, such as Yuan Bai, For example Xie Ling.
Faced with this situation, Emperor Qing didn't panic at all. He smiled at Xie Ling and said, "Ling'er still underestimates Gu. A person who kills his brother and father never uses only one trick."
Following Qinghuang's words, he directly threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and with a crisp sound, the door of the hall was closed suddenly, and a large number of swordsmen and archers appeared from both sides of the hall.
Zha Da's words had just finished, and everyone seemed to have never thought that the tribal leader would raise such a condition. They were stunned for a moment, and Xie Ling, who had been standing behind Yuan Bai, was the first to reprimand angrily:
"Presumptuous! How dare you insult His Highness the Crown Prince like this!"
The clenched fists showed the master's anger. While Xie Ling forcibly restrained himself from the urge to rush up and kill this barbarian, his heart was already filled with rage. This barbarian who grew up drinking goat milk actually wanted to take his brother as himself have?Looking at Zha Da's eyes examining Yuan Bai, he wanted to dig out his eyes with his own hands.
Not only Xie Ling was furious, but even the captain said angrily: "Zha Da, do you know that if you say such a word, it is a death penalty for disrespect!"
Leaving aside the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been admired by him for a long time, naturally this rude barbarian is not allowed to be so defiled!Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the representative of the Qing Kingdom at this moment, and in some respects it represents the entire Qing Kingdom. Zha Da's words are really unforgivable!
Compared to Xie Ling and the captain's unresolved anger, Yuan Bai's reaction was very calm, his beautiful eyes looked at Zha Da who was sitting on the ground, waiting for the next sentence.
Zha Da looked at the two followers behind Prince Qing, quite disdainful, he gently supported the ground with one hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, is my request too much? Why did your followers react so much?" so big?"
Yuan Bai looked at Zha Da who stood up, and heard that the barbarians were all strong and tall, and Zha Da personally confirmed it, Yuan Bai said: "General Zha Da seems not ready for this peace negotiation, including the one just now , it’s already two times of nonsense.”
Yuan Bai looked into Zha Da's eyes, and his eyes became sharp: "Everything must be based on strength, and the same is true for what you want. Today's time is more than wrong, so please think twice before you speak, and think carefully before speaking."
Xie Ling stood behind Yuan Bai, staring at Zha Da fiercely, if this barbarian dares to speak rudely again...
Zha frowned indistinctly. The prince of the Qing Kingdom is really a representative of the southerners. He has mastered the cunning of the southerners. No matter how he tries or provokes him, he can easily turn big things into small things. The problem is thrown to myself, but I can't figure out his attitude and thoughts at all, so the situation will become very unfavorable if this continues.
Yuan Bai quietly waited for the next sentence, Zha Da's thoughts at this moment were very clear to him.
Looking at Yuan Bai standing aside smiling and not saying a word, with his slender and tall figure, his handsome appearance, and the elegance of his every move, all these things seemed to turn into a cat's tail, making his heart itch.
As Yuan Bai said before, Jiayun Pass is like a ripe potato that is getting hotter and hotter to him, and this handsome and wise Prince is really not to be underestimated. Put the two together, compare them, and weigh them Then came out.
Zha Da laughed twice and replied: "We are different from you southerners. We never hide our liking. I like His Royal Highness. There is nothing shameful about it. According to the rules on our grassland, when we meet someone we like People just want to snatch back the camp, but I don't have the ability to snatch His Highness back, but His Highness's words are not bad, so how about following His Highness's words and judging by strength?"
This rule is not bad. If Qing Kingdom also had such a tradition, Xie Ling's blackening value would probably be more than 30 points now...
Thinking of this in his heart, Yuan Bai also smiled politely: "I agree with General Zha Da's statement, so I don't know what the general plans to do?"
"Then let's have a competition. If His Highness the Crown Prince wins, King Jiayun Guan Ben will give back unconditionally. However, if His Highness the Crown Prince loses..." At this point, Zha Da's deep eyes stared at Yuan Bai's eyes , One word at a time: "If Your Highness loses, then Your Highness will follow me."
Xie Ling couldn't stand it anymore, he should have known that this barbaric dog couldn't spit out ivory, so he was about to charge up and fight!Being blocked by Yuan Bai's hand, Xie Ling first glanced at the arm lying across his chest, then turned his head to look at Yuan Bai, feeling a little bit of grievance in his exasperation, and said, "Brother, he is so rude... "Yuan Bai glanced at Xie Ling, beckoning him to stay calm, then looked at Zha Da, and smiled with his lips curled up: "Okay, it's a deal."
Yuan Bai's words were resounding, Zha Da's eyes lit up, he was quite surprised, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Qing Kingdom would agree, as long as he dared to fight, he would have the confidence to snatch this elegant beauty back to the grassland !
Zha Da was happy, but Xie Ling looked at Yuan Bai in disbelief: "Brother, how could you... how could you agree to his request!"
Yuan Bai just glanced at Xie Ling and ignored him.
Then he said, "Then I don't know how to compete?"
Zha Da thought for a while: "It's simple, we will send one person, you will send one person, and the two will compete on behalf of the two countries."
Yuan Bai naturally had no objection. Zha Da looked at Yuan Bai's attitude, and his heart was already smiling. He glanced at Xie Ling who was at the side, and smiled contemptuously, with a slight disdain in his tone: "Then this boy seems to care about the prince very much. Your Highness? Do you dare to compete with this king?"
As soon as Zha Da's voice fell, there was a burst of laughter, Xie Ling gritted his teeth, boy?How dare this dog dare to make fun of himself?
Before Xie Ling could exit, the captain arrived first: "Didn't you say that each side sent one person? How could it be a choice!" He didn't understand Xie Ling, just like Zha Da, Xie Ling was just a young boy with him, How can the prince's safety be entrusted to such a person.
Yuan Bai looked at Xie Ling who seemed to be invading his territory, like a lion ready to go, the atmosphere became tense now, and the long eyelashes drooped slightly, making it difficult to see whether his eyes were too big Thinking about something, only heard: "Okay, I will let Xie Ling fight."
Xie Ling looked at Yuan Bai, with indescribable emotions in his eyes: "Brother?"
Yuan Bai smiled at him: "Don't panic, I believe you."
Yuan Bai's decision hit Zha Da's hands. In his eyes, Xie Ling is just a boy. Now he thinks that this competition is guaranteed to win, and all the beauties in the country are destined to belong to him: "Oh? How dare this little brother?" Don't you dare to fight? Don't panic when you get to the field!"
Encouraged by Yuan Bai, Xie Ling calmed down, looked at the arrogant Zha Da, pursed his thin lips, and said in a cold voice: "There's so much nonsense, just talk about it?"
Zha Da rolled his eyes: "Since they are all men, they must show their masculinity. The comparison must be riding and shooting..."
A trace of sarcasm flashed across Xie Ling's eyes, riding and shooting?OK.
There was also a little smile in Yuanbai's eyes, as he expected, this Zha Da would definitely choose his housekeeping skills, riding and shooting, and Xie Ling's riding and shooting naturally needless to say, he is bound to win Jiayun Pass .
Xie Ling turned around and led the steed behind him, Zha Da looked at the bow and arrow tied to the horse, and said with a smile: "So the little brother has also practiced riding and archery? But this king will not show mercy, so today's competition will be given to you The boy doll is in class."
Xie Ling glanced at Zha Da blankly, thinking coldly in his heart: You are an arrogant barbarian who dares to covet your elder brother, and you will lose face later.
"How to compete? What rules?" Xie Ling said coldly, holding the rein with one hand and stroking the horse's mane with the other.
Facing Xie Ling's contempt, Zha Da's face darkened, and he thought that he must show some color to this little brat today: "Two wins in three rounds, the competition is divided into three items, the first item, which is the last Basic target shooting, one person shoots three arrows, and when three arrows come down, the one whose arrows are the closest to the bull’s eye wins; the second item, hunting, I sent someone to release a sika deer in this forest, who can find and hunt it first Killing is the winner; the third item, there is a gray rabbit in the forest, the rabbit is tied with a red ribbon, and there is a bell on the ribbon. If the rabbit does not die, shoot the bell and it will be the winner. , if you shoot the rabbit by mistake, you will lose the round.”
Xie Ling nodded after listening, and opened her thin lips lightly: "Okay."
Zha Da grinned and waved to the men behind him: "Come on, set up a target."
In this gap, Yuan Bai led Xie Ling aside, and explained: "Suppress first and then raise, Zhata riding and shooting is very good, if you want to win steadily, you must let the opponent take it lightly."
Xie Ling looked at Yuan Bai with a serious face, and nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I won't let that barbarian succeed, no one can take you away from me!"
Xie Ling's age made his face look between a teenager and a young man. Looking at Xie Ling's smiling face and his firm eyes, Yuan Bai was stunned for a moment, then reacted and rubbed his face with a smile. Rubbing his head: "It's so good."
Zha Da looked at the target in the distance, and smiled confidently. It seemed that it was God's favor. He was going to have this beauty in his pocket. Thinking of this, Zha Da looked around and saw Yuan Bai and Xie Ling talking under the tree. You laughed, suddenly displeased, and shouted at them: "Boy, do you still have to study before the exam? Why did His Royal Highness give you some tricks?"
The conversation between the two was interrupted by Zha Da, Xie Ling glared at Zha Da, and strolled over.
Looking at the target in the distance, the target distance is much longer than the usual practice range, it seems that Zha Da is deliberately embarrassing himself.
Zha Da looked at Xie Ling at the side, and said slowly: "This is based on our target distance, it should be too far for the little brother, but you southerners archery is too much like a play, and you will experience it today. Let’s take a look at the demeanor of our Northwest boy!”
Xie Ling glanced at him indifferently, why does this person talk so much nonsense?
"let's start."
Xie Ling's disdain and arrogance were all in his eyes, and he felt more and more that Xie Ling was just a bratty brat, so he took up his long bow and pointed his finger at the bull's-eye: "I'll show you a sample, please. ?”
Xie Ling took out a feathered arrow from the quiver, aimed and shot it.When the feather arrow hit the target, someone rode a horse and dared to report the result. After hearing this, Zha Da laughed loudly and said, "The archery is not bad, but I still need to practice for a few more years."
Xie Ling pretended not to hear Zha Da's provocation, and shot another arrow.
Zha Da teased Yuan Bai who was on the side: "I can't see the subordinates of His Royal Highness, but their temper is very delicate!"
Yuan Bai did not follow his words, but stretched out his hand and said, "Second arrow, general please."
Afterwards, the subordinates came and hit the bull's-eye again.
In the first round, Zhada won.
Xie Ling didn't speak, turned around and walked to the horse, jumped on the horse neatly, the captain handed the reins to Xie Ling's hands, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, you must not lose this game. "
Xie Ling pursed his lips and nodded, then drove the horse and galloped towards the forest.
As Zha Da said, there is only one sika deer in this forest, and it is also a matter of luck to shoot the sika deer in this round. It depends on who can find the sika deer first.
Where the horseshoes went, a crowd of birds started up, and the sound of horseshoes behind them gradually approached, and Zhada's voice came from behind: "Boy, if you lose this game, your highness the crown prince will be mine! Hahaha "
Zha Da's words completely aroused Xie Ling's anger, and he cursed: "Just wait and see, barbarian!" He said that he gripped the rein tightly in his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and flew to the depths of the forest.
The deep part of the forest was damp, and the ground was much softer than outside. Xie Ling gently pulled the reins to slow down the horse's speed, thinking not to disturb the sika deer, but there was still no deer in the forest, thank you Ling Tiao changed direction and continued to search until he saw the imprint on the ground. He was overjoyed. It was the hoof print of a sika deer!
I rushed along the mark, and after a while, I saw a sika deer grazing deep in the grass. Xie Ling stopped his horse quietly, and when he picked up his bow and arrow and was about to shoot, he heard a sound of hooves. The deer's hearing is sharper than people's , I saw the sika deer flying up and fleeing immediately, Xie Ling immediately drove his horse to catch up, and frowned when he heard the sound of Zhada behind him: "Fortunately, the king came in time."
Xie Ling whipped his horsewhip and accelerated towards the sika deer. Behind him was Zha Da who was also chasing after him. When the sika deer appeared in sight again, the two drew their bows and shot arrows almost at the same time. Zha Da aimed at the deer, and the arrow He flew out of the string, but was shot on the ground by Xie Ling's feathered arrow. Xie Ling smiled, and when he was stunned, he shot another arrow, killing the sika deer, and the arrow pierced through the throat!
Zha Da looked at the fallen sika deer not far away, and the arrows he had fallen on the ground, his face darkened, and he immediately understood that Xie Ling had deliberately released water in the first round!Then he said in a cold voice: "Oh...it seems that the king was careless."
Xie Ling cast a cold glance at Zha and replied, "The third game is about to begin."
In the depths of the jungle, the two were chasing after each other on two steeds. After Zada found out Xie Ling's true level, he never dared to slack off. The two shuttled through the jungle with all their strength until they heard The copper bell sounded under the sound of horseshoes, the eyes of both of them flashed, and the rabbit was nearby!
Xie Ling is just young and has good hearing. This is one of the reasons why Zada has been following him. Xie Ling recognized the direction, turned the horse's head and galloped over. Behind him was the sound of Zada's hooves. Xie Ling turned around and challenged Zada. With a smile, Zha Da whipped the whip and overtook the past!It's now!Xie Ling turned around again and rushed in the opposite direction. Zha Da realized it was too late, and cursed: "Cunning southerners!"
The gray rabbit ran away and was hard to find in the grass. Xie Ling could only distinguish its direction by listening to the sound. The sound of horseshoes behind him approached again. Xie Ling picked up the bow and arrow and shot towards the sound of the bell. Arrow couldn't help restraining his breath, and saw the grass rippling for a while, and then recovered, Xie Ling smiled and got off the horse.
The grass was peeled off along the feather arrow, and a red ribbon tied with a bell was nailed to the ground by the feather arrow. Xie Ling pulled out the feather arrow with a little force, shook Zada behind him, and said coldly: "How? Admit defeat? ?”
The iron-colored arrow pierced the red ribbon, and the bell rang with the swaying movement. Zha Da gritted his teeth secretly, and the hand holding the rein was so hard that it turned white. After a while, he turned around and left.
Xie Ling looked at the back of Zha Da leaving, and smiled mockingly, dare to ask Brother Yuanbai in front of him?Then get ready to lose flat.
Everyone outside the woods also became anxious, except for Yuan Bai who couldn't hold back, the captain even said anxiously behind Yuan Bai: "His Royal Highness, if Xie Ling loses, is it possible that he will really be taken away by this barbarian?" ?”
Yuan Bai's eyes were only looking in the direction of the woods, and he shook his head upon hearing the sound.
Seeing Yuan Bai's reaction, the captain thought he had other plans, so he breathed a sigh of relief and joked, if the crown prince was taken away by this barbarian, let alone his head, even sitting in the nine tribes would not be enough for the emperor to chop off!
Before the captain could adjust, Yuan Bai said softly: "I believe that Xie Ling will never lose."
Only the captain, who had just experienced ups and downs, was left with a stunned expression: "..."
Following a commotion in the crowd, the figures of Xie Ling and Zha Da appeared in the eyes of everyone. The two drove their horses closer, and saw a sika deer on Xie Ling's horse. Listening to the whispers of Zha Da's subordinates, the original There was also a smile on Bai's face.
Xie Ling threw the sika deer on the ground, smiled at Yuan Bai, and got off the horse.
"Do what you say, here, brother." After speaking, he handed the feathered arrow wearing a red ribbon to Yuan Bai.
Yuan Bai took the feather arrow, looked at the red ribbon on it, shook it lightly, a crisp copper bell sounded, Yuan Bai smiled, and said to Xie Ling, "Well done."
Walking in front of Zha Da, General Yuan Bai showed the feathered arrow in his hand, with a polite smile on his handsome face: "General Zha Da, after three rounds of competition, the results are obvious to all, our side won two out of three rounds."
Zha Da looked at Yuan Bai in front of him, and snorted softly, "I didn't say you guys lost."
The smile on Yuan Bai's face was even bigger: "It's very good, I hope General Zha Da can do what he says."
Zha Da and Yuan Bai looked at each other for a few seconds, and said, "This king keeps his word. This time, this king carelessly underestimates the enemy. The king of Jiayunguan will withdraw his troops and return."
Yuan Bai's expression also became serious, and he nodded: "On this point, I admire General Zha Da."
Zha Da snorted: "Now let's talk about these good things, but I am waiting for the day when I will meet His Highness the Crown Prince again on the battlefield. At that time, I will definitely take His Highness back to the camp."
After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to take a look at Xie Ling's reaction, and said to the subordinates behind him, "Let's go!"
Xie Ling watched Zha Da's back slowly walk away, and walked to Yuan Bai, with a bright smile on his young and handsome face, which made people think of the morning sun, dazzling but comfortable: "Congratulations brother, Live up to your mission and take back Jiayun Pass!"
Yuan Bai stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes, and said gently, "Thanks to Ling'er."
The smile in Xie Ling's eyes deepened when he heard this, and he said loudly: "In that case, how will brother reward me?"
Yuan Bai was amused by his greed, pretended to think for a while, and then said: "I can't think of it, what does Ling'er want?"
Xie Ling looked into Yuan Bai's eyes: "Whatever you want, brother will give you?"
Looking at Xie Ling's eyes, Yuan Bai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that... after thinking about it, he shook his head secretly. How could it be? Xie Ling is still young, so he thought too much: "Well...you can give me whatever you want. , as long as it is what I have."
The smile on Xie Ling's face completely widened: "Then I'll keep this for now, and I'll ask my brother to ask for it some other day."
Yuan Bai smiled and shook his head, with a rather helpless expression: "Well, let's go first."
Back at the barracks, Colonel Xie Ling followed Yuan Bai into the camp tent. The captain's face was filled with joy as he knelt on the ground and congratulated Yuan Bai: "Congratulations, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you have recaptured Jiayun Pass without a single soldier!"
Yuan Bai helped the captain up, and said with a smile: "This matter can be accomplished, the captain also contributed a lot."
The captain shook his head and glanced at Xie Ling, with undisguised admiration and admiration in his eyes: "Your Majesty the Crown Prince is ashamed of what he said, and I will make peace with Zha Da today, and take back Jiayun Pass after three rounds of competition. It’s because of His Royal Highness’s witty words and Brother Xie Ling’s excellent kung fu!” Then he extended his thumb towards Xie Ling: “In terms of riding and shooting, we are indeed no match for the barbarians, they claim to have grown up on horseback, riding and shooting Even children can do it, and Zada's riding and archery skills are even better, Xie Ling brothers can win back Jiayun Pass from Zada, it's really impressive!"
Xie Ling didn't have a good impression of this captain at first, but now he actually praised himself in front of his brother, which gave him a lot of face. It's not too annoying, Xie Ling nodded lightly on the surface: "Lord Captain you flatter me."
Yuan Bai discussed a few more words with the captain, and brought the topic back to normal: "Now that Jiayun Pass has been taken back, it's time for me to return to my mission."
The captain looked at Yuan Bai: "Why is Your Highness returning to Beijing in such a hurry?"
Yuan Bai nodded: "The northern part of the Qing Kingdom has been lost, and some people in the court are inevitably panicked. As the prince, I have such an important mission. Now that the city is taken back, I should set off immediately and return to the palace to return to my command."
After hearing this, the captain felt very relieved, and nodded in agreement: "When will His Royal Highness leave?"
Yuan Bai said: "Tomorrow morning, let's set off immediately. I also hope that the captain has conveyed to me the lightly armed thirteen riders. Let them rectify tonight and return to Beijing early tomorrow morning to return to their orders."
The captain responded and left.
When Yuan Bai was talking, Xie Ling kept silent, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Although Xie Ling didn't like Zha Da, he admired this man on the grassland very much-he Dare to directly say what he likes in his heart, even the kind of life he mentioned is actually the life Xie Ling yearns for.
Xie Ling asked Yuan Bai: "Brother, do you like this place?"
Yuan Bai was a little confused, so he asked back, "Why does Xiao Ling ask such a question?"
Xie Ling replied: "If brother likes it, we might as well stay here."
Xie Ling had already figured it out clearly, if he could have his elder brother stay by his side in Jiayunguan, he would not need the status of prince.
Thinking of staying here, Yuan Bai's eyes could not help but light up. When Xie Ling and Zadabbi tried riding and shooting, he also had a panoramic view of the grassland. It is more grassy and fat, and it is not difficult for him to understand why Zha Da would give up Jiayun Pass so easily and his plan to go south. From the bottom of his heart, he also has a carefree desire to herd sheep outside the Great Wall
But his thoughts like this just flashed through Yuan Bai's mind, and soon he came to his senses, he shook his head and said:
"I am the crown prince of the Qing Kingdom, how can I stay here forever, my father will not allow it."
Hearing Yuan Bai mentioned Emperor Qing, and thinking of what Emperor Qing had done to Yuan Bai before, Xie Ling's tone became more urgent, and he said to Yuan Bai: "All the cities including Jiayun Pass are I am willing to be loyal to my brother, why does my brother go back to the palace and be manipulated by others..."
Originally, when Xie Ling said these things, Yuan Bai just listened absent-mindedly, but when he heard Xie Ling's last words, Yuan Bai suddenly thought of something, he turned his head to look at Xie Ling and said:
"You already know?"
Yuan Bai thought about it carefully at this time, he vaguely remembered that Xie Ling brought him back to the camp, if he saw the marks on his body, it shouldn't be difficult to guess what.
Although Yuan Bai didn't fully explain what he had said, Xie Ling also understood that what Yuan Bai said was that he already knew what Emperor Qing did to Yuan Bai.
Xie Ling's expression became a little stiff, but he still nodded and said:
"Yes."
The two of them didn't speak for a while, Yuan Bai turned his head away, his eyes were a little more depressed, but he was also very thankful that it was Xie Ling who knew about it, and Xie Ling also showed contempt for him, instead He was always thinking about himself, for fear that he would fall into the jaws of a tiger after returning to the palace.
In fact, there is no need for Xie Ling to say, Yuan Bai knew very well in his heart that when the crisis at Jiayunguan was lifted, Emperor Qing would definitely not let him and Xie Ling go easily, but of course he couldn't agree to Xie Ling, even if he wanted to agree to Xie Ling. Ling, it is impossible for the system to agree.
Thinking of this, Yuan Bai consoled Xie Ling: "Father is just impulsive, I am his biological son after all, he won't really do anything to me."
But the key is that you are not his biological son!
Xie Ling said painfully in his heart, Yuan Bai didn't know, but Xie Ling knew Yuan Bai's life experience in his heart, but he couldn't tell Yuan Bai directly, because he only learned about Yuan Bai from Ning Qiu. There is no sufficient evidence for Bai's life experience, and secondly, Xie Ling doesn't want Yuan Bai to know, in fact, Yuan Bai is not Qinghuang's biological son, he is afraid that if Yuan Bai finds out about this, without the barrier of father-son relationship, Yuan Bai might choose to be with Qing Huang.
Although Zha Da, the captain and Xie Ling all strongly opposed Yuan Bai's return to the capital, but no matter what, Yuan Bai did not change his mind. In the end, it was the captain who, in the name of protecting the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, offered Yuan Bai another Arranged fifteen guards, and asked them to protect Yuan Bai after they arrived in the capital.
Yuan Bai had just led Xie Ling and more than twenty cavalry out of the city. Before he had gone for a long time, Yuan Bai vaguely heard someone shouting from behind. The businessman who sent Zada the message was galloping towards him on horseback at this time.
"His Royal Highness! Huh, finally caught up."
The businessman said out of breath, and behind the businessman was a servant leading a horse.
Yuan Bai looked at the servant leading the horse and asked, "This is?"
The businessman replied: "This is the Chollima given to His Highness by Zada, the King of the Grassland."
Grassland king, the kind of king with a green grassland on his head?
Hearing what the businessman said, Yuan Bai couldn't help thinking in his heart, but seeing the horse, with its flowing black mane, it did look much taller than ordinary horses, and even its eyes were deeper.
The businessman said again: "The Prairie King also said that if His Highness has anything to do, the king's tent will always be opened for His Highness."
Yuan Bai: "..."
Is this guy still thinking of tricking himself into his camp?
Although Zha Da lost to Xie Ling in the previous competition and was forced to accept the peace agreement and quit Jiayun Pass, he still enjoys the vast grassland north of Jiayun Pass, so Yuan Bai couldn't just refuse him directly As a gift, he kept the horse and ordered a guard to take care of the horse.
Seeing that Yuan Bai just accepted the horse, but did not directly ride it, Xie Ling's vigilant eyes from before finally moved away from the businessman, and the businessman completed the task, and immediately left.
Although the group of people was not in a hurry to rush back to the capital of the Qing Kingdom, Yuan Bai did not want to delay, so he hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the capital of the Qing Kingdom on the tenth day.
Knowing that Yuan Bai was about to arrive in the capital in advance, Emperor Qing led a group of officials to greet him ten miles away from the capital. Even many people in the capital had heard the news, and they all couldn't wait to see the triumphant return. His Royal Highness.
Yuan Bai and his party just came to the outskirts of the city, and before Yuan Bai got off his horse, Emperor Qing in his crown had already stepped forward and said, "Xuan'er."
It's just that I haven't seen him for a month, and Qinghuang looked a bit haggard, but the moment he saw Yuan Bai, he suddenly became radiant.
Seeing Emperor Qing at this time, and seeing his haggard appearance, Yuan Bai softened his heart for a moment, let go of the grudge in his heart, knelt down on one knee and said:
"My son pays homage to my father, is my father well?"
Emperor Qing helped Yuan Bai up: "Xuan'er please stand up, if Xuan'er can return safely, everything will be fine for Gu."
Although Xie Ling behind Yuan Bai was a bit reluctant, seeing that Yuan Bai had already knelt down at this time, he followed behind Yuan Bai and bowed to Emperor Qing. Originally, Emperor Qing would just ignore him like before. Knowing that this time, Emperor Qing looked at Xie Ling with eyes full of admiration and kindness.
This should be the first time Emperor Qing looked at Xie Ling with straight eyes. Obviously, he had heard about the defeat of King Zha of the Grassland to Xie Ling. Emperor Qing had to admit that this son whom he had never looked down on was gradually surpassing him. He would even replace him one day, just like how Qinghuang replaced his father back then. This made Qinghuang feel a little panic in his heart, and he decided to get rid of Xie Ling as soon as possible.
But on the surface, Emperor Qing still looked like a loving father. He said to Xie Ling: "Ling'er is worthy of being an orphaned son. This time, Ling'er was able to take down Jiayun Pass without bloodshed. Linger's contribution is indisputable."
Qinghuang's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the officials behind him to hear clearly. If Yuan Bai remembered correctly, this should be the first time Qinghuang admitted that Xie Ling was his son in public.
Emperor Qing actually admitted Xie Ling's status as a prince, which made Yuan Bai feel that something was wrong. This so-called banquet was probably a Hongmen banquet, and for the guards who came from Jiayun Pass, they felt that something was wrong. Surprised.
This young man is also Emperor Qing's son?That is to say, he is Qinghuang's unrecognized prince?
They are very clear about how this young man won Zha Da. With such skill in riding and shooting, they originally thought that Xie Ling was the descendant of a general in the capital, but now they know that Xie Ling is actually the one in the capital. Rumor has it that Emperor Qing never cared about his illegitimate son.
But judging by Emperor Qing's reaction at this time, this illegitimate son has finally made it through and can enjoy the honor of being a prince.
Thinking of this, they looked at Xie Ling with more envy.
Regarding Qinghuang's words, Xie Ling had a thought in his mind at this time: it's nothing to show courtesy, it's either rape or robbery.
Before Xie Ling was taken into the palace by Emperor Qing, he lived at the bottom of the Qing Kingdom, and this sentence was the one he heard the most. own people.
Although Qinghuang looked at him full of concern and admiration, Xie Ling also vaguely saw the flash of killing intent deep in Qinghuang's eyes, Xie Ling's heart sank suddenly, and the two After staring at each other for a long time, Xie Ling said to Qinghuang:
"Thank you, Father, for your compliment."
Although Xie Ling's eyes seemed harmless, Qinghuang could see the ice-like coldness in his eyes,
It didn't look like the eyes of a 12-year-old child at all, but rather like a wild beast desperately protecting its cubs, those eyes were...wolf eyes.
At this time, Emperor Qing finally remembered that he had been attacked by a wolf when he was a teenager, and that wolf looked at him in the same way. If it wasn't for that time, the prince's thanks appeared in time and forced the wolf back with a sword. The female wolf, I am afraid that she has already been buried in the wolf's belly.
Qinghuang didn't understand at the time why the female wolf was so desperate, even after being hit by several arrows, she would rush towards him again and again, but Xie Ci took away the messy dead branches around Qinghuang, and hidden inside Three little wolf cubs whose eyes have not yet opened.
At that time, Xie Ci said: "Even a wolf has the feeling of protecting a calf."
Qing Huang looked at Xie Ling, he started to think, for Xie Ling, who would be the cub he desperately wanted to protect?
However, Emperor Qing did not forget his purpose, he still had a smile on his face, and said to Yuan Bai and Xie Ling:
"The banquet has been set up in the palace. Xuan'er and Ling'er will go to the banquet together with Gu. All the soldiers have worked hard, so let's go together."
Xie Ling hesitated for a moment, and whispered to the soldier who was in charge of taking care of the horse that Zha Da had given him. When everyone was heading towards the palace, the horse under Xie Ling's crotch also turned into the horse. A BMW that can travel thousands of miles a day.
Xie Ling was very vigilant along the way. If it was said that Emperor Qing had no conspiracy, Xie Ling would not believe it even if killed. The only thing he is not sure now is when Emperor Qing will launch an attack.
Qinghuang didn't do anything on the road, the group of people arrived in the palace, the tables in the hall of the palace were already filled with fine wines, and everything looked normal, but before the banquet started, Qinghuang had already set off. Most of the ministers were invited, except for Yuan Bai, only Xie Ling and the dozen or so cavalry brought back by Yuan Bai from Jiayun Pass were on the banquet.
The banquet had just started, and after everyone was seated, it was obviously a happy scene, but Xie Ling raised the wine glass in his hand and asked Qinghuang:
"Father wants to use the trick of prescribing medicine again?"
After Xie Ling finished speaking, the dozen or so cavalry had drawn their long swords from their waists. They were far away from Jiayun Pass, and they were not completely loyal to Emperor Qing. They were only loyal to those they admired and admired, such as Yuan Bai, For example Xie Ling.
Faced with this situation, Emperor Qing didn't panic at all. He smiled at Xie Ling and said, "Ling'er still underestimates Gu. A person who kills his brother and father never uses only one trick."
Following Qinghuang's words, he directly threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and with a crisp sound, the door of the hall was closed suddenly, and a large number of swordsmen and archers appeared from both sides of the hall.
