obey

Li Yuan tapped on the table, his eyes fell on Concubine Chen Guifei who was pouring wine, and Ying Qi quietly touched the green snake scabbard on his back waist.His sword blade is soft and can be wrapped around his waist like a belt, and the exposed hilt is a hidden buckle with a snake head, like a brass buckle on a waist seal, so he can carry the sword in and out freely under the strict guard of the palace.

Li Yuan glanced at Ying Qi: "Don't be nervous, it's still early."

A young girl came slowly under the high platform, dressed in a light blue dress, dignified and elegant, the pearl green lotus headdress was just right, not too complicated, not too simple, the creamy skin was slightly powdered, and the willow-leaf curved eyebrows added a little tenderness .

Along the way, the eunuchs saluted one after another: "Princess Tyrant."

Princess Ba Xia nodded, and slowly walked up to the high platform, and sat beside the emperor.

General Zhongli, who was in charge of Tianwei Battalion, withdrew his seat ahead of time. The border was tightened due to the war in Western Xinjiang.

General Zhongli got up, saluted General Chu Wei and left.There was no one around General Chu Wei, and the concubine was heavy, so she stayed in the Zhennan Palace to rest and was unable to show up.

Kong Yanxi saw General Zhongli leave the table and quietly got up to catch up.

"General Zhongli, General Zhongli stay a little longer." Kong Yanxi trotted all the way to catch up.

Zhong Limu didn't stop walking, looked straight at the petite young master, and asked indifferently, "What's the matter."

Kong Yanxi walked along with General Zhongli and asked, "I heard that the war in the western borders is tense, and the Xiyun clan is getting stronger and stronger. I'm Kong Yanxi, a family from the South Vietnam Shensha family. Maybe he can help the general?"

General Zhongli glanced at him, and said: "The Xiyun tribe is getting stronger day by day, they have enough soldiers and horses, they have domesticated beast soldiers, made loud arrows, and joined forces with the Jie tribe to attack together. The Tianwei camp has just arrived in the western border, and the climate is not acclimatized, so it is difficult to resist."

Kong Yanxi thought for a while: "Is the Tianwei Battalion still strong enough?"

General Zhongli said: "Not enough, we are waiting to be dispatched by the sage. And the generals are scarce. I heard that your brother's martial arts are outstanding, and he is a talent to be made. If you intend to send him into my command, I can accept him."

Kong Yanxi bit her nails lightly, hesitated a little, then bowed and said: "Thank you, General, for your appreciation. I will ask my brother what he wants, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

General Zhongli hummed and left.

Kong Yanxi bit his nails and went back, bumping into his younger brother with a bang.

Kong Lanjiao lowered his head and asked him: "Why did my brother reject General Zhongli? Didn't you want me to enter the Tianwei Camp?"

"No..." Kong Yanxi bit her nails, and said softly, "Wait first... don't worry, my brother will send you when I want to go later, now... let's see and talk."

It was rare for Kong Lanjiao to look at people with his nostrils, so he hummed.

The second young master of the Kong family is a master who looks down on anyone. In the Kong family and in the imperial city, he never restrains his arrogance, but he is the only one who is kind to his elder brother.

Li Yuan sat quietly behind the food table, chatting and joking with the princes around him from time to time, but most of the time he remained silent.

The Prince of Lingnan came over with a longbow and sat beside Li Yuan.The imperial palace is not allowed to bring sharp weapons in, so Li Mo handed over the arrow and only brought his beloved antler bow.

"Yuan'er, what are you thinking about?" Li Mo leaned over to hold Li Yuan, squinted his eyes and asked him, "Are you distracted, didn't you sleep well? Or... did you sleep too well?"

Anxi also pretended to be a bodyguard and followed Li Mo, wearing the red shirt with butterfly pattern of Lingnan Palace, and smiled heartlessly at Ying Qi.

Ying Qi slightly nodded in response.

The two masters chatted, An Xi and Ying Qi took a step back.

Anxi leaned closer to Ying Qi and asked, "Brother Xiao Qi, Brother Xiao Wu and the others...where did they go?"

Ying Qi asked coldly, "Where did Anbei go?"

Anxi smiled and said: "Why do we have to test each other when we are together? Anbei and I admire you very much, so why can't we make friends?"

In fact, Ying Qi also appreciates An Xi and An Bei, these two dark guards are very strong, if they don't have their own way, Ying Qi doesn't mind making this friend.

Anxi asked softly: "Brother Seven, I don't want to test you, I just want to ask where you were born and who trained you. This is not a secret, right?"

Ying Qi asked back: "What do you mean?"

Anxi said: "Anbei and I were trained by our master himself. Since we were young, the master tortured us and sent us to learn martial arts. After returning, the master trained us with a ruler and a whip."

Ying Qi was stunned: "Did the master personally train...?"

He nodded secretly.

"My own hands..." Ying Qi turned her head and glanced at Li Yuan, and couldn't take her eyes off His Royal Highness for a long time.The picture in my mind rotated rapidly, imagining what it would be like if all the punishments on my body were given by His Royal Highness.

Anxi pushed him: "Brother Xiao Qi?"

Even Yingqi himself could not imagine that his obsession with His Royal Highness has already exceeded the normal limit.In the shadow palace, when those instruments of torture fell on him, Ying Qi was extremely frightened, and the only comfort in his heart was the appearance of His Royal Highness.

He almost couldn't remember the reason, it seemed that he was only grateful and admired, and was forced by the Shadow Palace to make him fall in love with His Royal Highness in his heart, and he would never be able to leave him, as long as he thought of leaving His Royal Highness, his body would hurt, I will be extremely afraid in my heart, and it will be difficult to live.

Yin Qi's casual question made Ying Qi panic.

But he likes it.

Luncheon singing and dancing, silk and bamboo orchestra, and drum music.After drinking for three rounds, princes and princes who are skilled in martial arts will ride horses to shoot and hunt. Many palm-sized red silks have been arranged in advance in the royal hunting grounds, so that the princes can ride horses and draw bows in the dense forest hunting grounds, each with thirty arrows, Whoever shoots the most red silks wins.

Some of these red silks are in the open, while others are tied in a tricky way, and you have to have some skills to get them.

The second young master of the Kong family was about to get up and take the bow, but was pulled back by Kong Yanxi.Kong Yanxi was small and lacked strength, so he trotted two steps and hugged Kong Lanjiao's arm before pulling his brother back.

Kong Yanxi pulled his younger brother back and sat down beside him, and told him softly, "Don't steal the royal family's limelight."

Kong Lanjiao sat back cross-legged, glanced at his brother, and complained in a low voice: "Even my father and the others don't care about me, and my brother and I are tied up once when I come out, it's so annoying."

Kong Yanxi was wearing the Shensha tribe's navy blue feather dress, with hollow emerald rings on his ears, and long eyelashes. He carefully wiped the soup splashed on the edge of the plate with a small handkerchief, and said, "Father? Uncivilized The South Vietnamese barbarians are stubborn, what does he know, he will embarrass the family when he goes back to the noble assembly, I don’t even want to talk about him.”

Kong Lanjiao said: "Oh."

The prince already has a family, a wife and children, so it seems a little unsafe to participate in these games, so he doesn't participate much. For Li Yuan, he has never participated in it. This kind of project used to be a project that Li Yuan pretended to be ill.

Li Mo nudged Li Yuan with his elbow: "Yuan'er, since you are so good at bowing, why not compete with me? It's nothing to hide and hide. I know that paper can't cover fire, and sooner or later I will be... pierced."

Li Yuan pushed his hand away: "Aren't you afraid of losing to me?"

Li Mo stretched out his hand, and the ring of his index finger was inlaid with a passionate and coquettish flame pattern stone, showing his canine teeth and smiling: "You won?"

Li Yuan grabbed Li Mogong's cocooned hand and clenched it tightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Walk."

Princess Baxia who was far away on the high platform still had a dignified demeanor and an extraordinary manner, but she was already clenched her teeth in anger, cursing in her heart: "Damn Li Yuan." I don't care about Li Yuan anymore, and stare back at the movement in the field to make sure Nothing goes wrong.

The crown prince drank a glass of wine calmly, looked at his cousin Li Yuan in the distance, took the bow, put the quiver on his back, filled thirty arrows with engraved names, and led the horse to the paddock.

A guest beside him who was toasting the prince also followed the prince's gaze and sighed: "The son of the prince of Qi has never participated in these riding and shooting. Today is the sun coming out from the west."

The other guest was a civil servant who always advocated taking back the military power of the King of Qi. When he saw the son of the King of Qi leading the arrow into the forest, his expression darkened, and he said sadly: "The son of the King of Qi is also capable of archery. It seems that today is the time to open your eyes. gone?"

After receiving the toast, the crown prince said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, you are too worried. During the inspection tour of Linxun Erzhou recently, I taught Yuan'er a half-style. .”

The civil servant calmed down and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is very powerful."

Outside the royal hunting ground, Li Yuan and Li Mo rode together, Li Mo turned his head and asked him: "Brother Yuan, after years of hard training, you will always have a magic bow in your hand, right?"

Li Yuan smiled gently and said, "Shen Bow? If there was one, I would have shown it off a long time ago."

Li Mo threw Zhu Yun's antler bow, which he never left his hand, to Anxi who followed behind him, and Anxi took the heavy antler bow thrown by his master, and carried it neatly on his back.

Li Mo immediately took a wooden bow that was the same as Li Yuan's, and said with a smile, "Cousin, don't say I bully you."

Li Yuan nodded: "As expected of Mo'er, it's fair."

Li Mo said: "If you lose, how about letting me cut your hair for fun?"

Li Yuan said: "If you lose, how about letting me stew your little leopard?"

Li Mo: "Bah."

Li Yuan smiled.

Anxi and Yingqi followed and protected in the dark. As soon as the owner entered the hunting ground, the two jumped on the branches and watched from the shadow of the forest.

The two rode into the forest. Li Mo carried a bow and arrow on his back and chatted as he rode forward: "Yuan'er, I remembered something, and I'm very sorry."

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me."

Li Modao: "My father said that before I was born, a bone-piercing blue dragon appeared in the world. It harmed one party and was beheaded by all the hidden masters. Later, it was divided up by the beheaded masters. Among them, the dragon bone was... Madame Jiang, Goddess of Stepping Goose, took it away."

"Father likes to collect exotic beasts. At that time, he specially visited Xiaoyao Mountain and wanted to exchange this blue dragon bone with Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang refused no matter what, so my father returned disappointed."

"I heard that this blue dragon bone was made into a dragon bone bow by Mrs. Jiang, and it has been lost for many years."

Li Yuan was surprised, Mrs. Jiang?

Li Mo didn't notice Li Yuan's lack of focus, and continued: "I really want that bow. If there is a chance, I will definitely get it by any means."

Li Yuan restrained his expression, smiled and said: "Since it is a keel, it must be dedicated to the Holy One, what use are you using it for?"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Mo, and said softly in a low voice, "It's hard to say whether it's a keel bow that I want to get by any means, or something rebellious."

Li Mo searched for the red silk tied in the dense forest, and licked his lips: "Brother Yuan understands me, but your father has dragged his sick body and held on to the military power for so many years, just to keep it for you, don't make fun of me, our goals are similar , no one is much cleaner than anyone else."

Li Yuan lowered his eyes: "I just want to live a more comfortable life. I don't have to intervene in the open and secret fights between you and the prince's cousin, but you don't want to hinder my freedom."

Li Mo raised one corner of his mouth: "If you were obedient and obedient, and didn't do unnecessary things, I really didn't intend to do anything to you."

As soon as the words fell, Li Mo suddenly drew the arrow and raised the bow, and the bow and arrow buzzed, but in an instant, the feathered arrow engraved with the butterfly pattern of the Lingnan Palace flew away, and the butterfly lock on Li Mo's neck jingled.

At the same time, Li Yuan also let go of the Tianxiang Peony-patterned Feather Arrow, and shot it off the string.

Two feathered arrows flew towards the leafy dense forest branch a hundred paces away, aiming at the same red silk.In midsummer, the cicadas were singing and noisy, the forest was silent for a while, and the fallen leaves were flying. There was a clanging sound, and the two feathered arrows hit the heart of the red silk at the same moment, nailing the branch three inches deep.

The two royal highnesses rode their horses and galloped: "drive!"

A shadow guard and a dark guard followed the guards in the depths of the dense forest. Anxi sat in the branch nest with the antler bow of the prince of Lingnan on his back, while Ying Qi stared at Li Yuan intently.

He secretly smiled and sighed: "Sure enough, the prince of Qi is also a person who hides his secrets and does great things in a silent voice. Is this game going to be a tie?"

Thirty arrows, two master archers who shot every arrow, it is difficult to distinguish the superiority.

Ying Qi was indifferent, An Xi suddenly rushed out from behind, and turned around to make a face at Ying Qi: "Bibi who can help my master win, if I win, tell me your name, and if you win, I will tell you yours and mine."

Ying Qi turned over and jumped, like a bolt of lightning flying across the blue sky, speeding through the dense forest expressionlessly:

"it is good."
