An arrow pierced through the deer's throat, and a line of blood spurted out from the deer's neck. The prey struggled twice, and fell down with a plop. The warm blood stained the withered yellow grass leaves under it.

Xie Che didn't even look at it, but took another arrow and put it on the bow.

The horse galloped, but his upper body remained motionless, as steady as a rock, half-closed his eyes, and aimed at a red-colored fox.

Li Chengqi glanced at many young talents off the court, obviously feeling very satisfied, she turned her head to Xie Mingyue and said: "Xie Che is very good at archery."

Xie Mingyue said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

With a calm expression on his face, he glanced at the loose-looking young man off the stage, and nodded slightly.

Li Chengqi just raised his glass, thought about it and then put it down, and regretfully said to Li Yan: "I have heard that the prince's archery skills were excellent, but it's a pity that I can't watch it."

Li Yan bowed his head and said, "I feel regretful that I am sick."

"My lord, take good care of your health." Li Chengqi said slowly, "There may not be opportunities next year."

Li Yan paused the hand holding the wine glass, "Yes."

He raised his eyes quietly, and saw the emperor was smiling, because the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and a pair of small dimples appeared on his cheeks. It was these dimples that made him look a little childish and deceptive, completely different from Li Zhao.

But except for this pair of dimples, everything seems to be similar.

His lord, his brother, his...

Li Yan raised his glass, raised his head and drank the contents of the glass, and suddenly realized that there was no wine in the glass.

It's like sweet water, but it's not sticky, and the temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold.

Seeing Li Yan's doubts, the palace man behind him lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that you are unwell and are not suitable for drinking at the moment."

Li Yan was startled, and looked at the palace man behind him almost in horror.

The man was taken aback for a moment, and said anxiously: "My lord, my lord?"

Li Yan turned his head stiffly and raised his hand to pour himself the wine.

For some reason, his movements were not sensitive, but his fingers trembled slightly.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry noticed Li Yan's reaction. The person who was able to pull a hard bow back then couldn't pour himself a glass of wine smoothly. fine?"

Li Yan poured the sweet water made by unknown means into the wine glass, and smiled palely at Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, "I am fine."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry hesitated to speak, and finally only said, "The sacred heart is unpredictable, and the prince doesn't want it either, it's too much to worry about."

Li Yan nodded slightly.

He lowered his head and saw the sweet water in the cup rippling slightly, reflecting his pale face.

Raise your glass and drink it up.

For some reason, he always thought of Li Zhao recently.

Every move of the new emperor is indistinguishable from Li Zhao.

After the fraud case, the emperor did not impose a punishment, so he locked himself in the mansion and grounded himself. When he was hunting in autumn, he finally met again. The emperor treated him preferentially and tolerantly in everything. For a moment, Li Yan even felt terrified.

The emperor knows nothing.He told himself that more than once.

Yet deep down, a voice told him over and over again that the emperor knew everything.

Just because he knows everything, he is tolerant.

Not waiting for a change of heart, but enjoying it, when others completely let go of their vigilance and feel guilty, and even breed a bit of delusional hope, suffering as if they are in the fire of karma, and then mercilessly question their sins.

Do people with similar appearance even act similarly?

The sweet water in his mouth was like holding a sharp knife, and Li Yan swallowed hard.

Li Chengqi looked away calmly, tilted her head and smiled at Xie Mingyue: "It seems that Gu didn't reward him with candy, but gave him."

Xie Mingyue knew who Li Chengqi was talking about, but asked with a puzzled face: "Candy?"

Li Chengqi nodded: "Sugar water."

Xie Mingyue put down her wine glass, her voice was soft and slow. Others only knew that Li Chengqi and Xie Mingyue were talking frequently, but they couldn't hear what they were saying, "I have been working for the country for many years. Even when I am ill, I don't care about state affairs at all Willing to delay," he raised his eyes and looked at Li Chengqi with pale eyes, the grievances in which only Li Chengqi could see, "It was very cold last night, it was already midnight when I returned to Changle Palace, and today I also feel unwell."

Li Chengqi didn't expect Xie Mingyue to be entangled in such a trivial matter, and he laughed angrily for a while, "Xuan Du, don't put on an air in front of Gu."

Xie Mingyue is considered half a doctor, why is he unwell?

I know where he feels unwell, and I have already taken the medicine by myself if I feel unwell, so what to do in front of him.

Xie Mingyue lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Isn't Li Yan's pale and overdressed appearance considered a gesture?A shower can make a big man sick for a month?joke.

Xie Mingyue has experienced this kind of day countless times before, the emperor is suspicious, how can he allow others to snore on the couch?Besides, Xie Mingyue is really ambitious, and she often goes beyond the rules in state affairs.

Xie Mingyue is very used to it, and she can clearly see Li Yan's little thoughts.

Xie Mingyue stopped talking, but Li Chengqi looked at Xie Mingyue more.

In the past, Xie Mingyue's personality was gentle on the surface, but he couldn't tolerate anything that didn't go his way. If the monarch and his ministers disagreed, Xie Mingyue would definitely argue with reason, and he didn't know how to be gentle. Even Li Chengqi was like this when he just woke up, but now he is more and more understanding. Detoured.

Do not fight or grab, tame and obedient, obedient and sensible.

Even though Li Chengqi knew that he was pretending and nothing had changed inside, all these were just means to achieve his goal, but Li Chengqi had to admit that he was indeed a layman, and he liked it very much.

Just as Li Chengqi was about to speak, there was a cry of exclamation from below. He looked over and saw that a young man suddenly rushed out in front of Xie Che to block him.

"Be careful!" someone yelled.

The deer that was just aimed at became someone else's object in the next breath.

Xie Che reined in his horse and stood still, panting slightly.

The man smiled triumphantly at Xie Che, showing his white teeth, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Young Master."

Extremely provocative.

Unless the family relationship between this group of aristocratic families is very good, those who grew up together are generally nodding acquaintances. They are all sons of big families, arrogant and arrogant, and because of old grievances between their ancestors, they don't get along well. .

Now that the New Deal is progressing smoothly, the forces of all ethnic groups have been weakened more or less. Some people hate Xie Mingyue's suppression of dissidents, while others think that the New Deal is all in the hands of the emperor. It is unknown how long Xie Mingyue, a powerful minister, can maintain his glory.

Therefore, whether it is hatred or wanting to add insult to injury, the fear of Xie Mingyue is less than before.

Only then will there be the actions on the hunting ground today.

Li Chengqi clicked her tongue softly, "Which family is the one below?"

This matter happened suddenly, Xie Mingyue no longer entangled with Tianshui, followed the emperor to look over, shook her head and said: "I don't know."

Li Chengqi didn't expect him to know the names of the two juniors, she tilted her head, Qing Ai had written down the names and faces of the people in the hunting ground long ago, and prepared for the emperor's needs, bowed and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the archer is Ping Bo Dai Ling Dai Langjun of the Hou Mansion, and Jiang Ziyu Jiang Langjun of the Minister of Rites' family who shoots arrows."

Marquis Ping Bo was on the viewing platform, although he was somewhat surprised by Dai Ling's actions, he did not show any signs of panic. Obviously, Dai Ling's actions were inseparable from his precepts and deeds.

"A young man is arrogant and competitive," Xie Mingyue's voice sounded at the right time, "but it's just a matter between children."

Li Chengqi glanced at Xie Mingyue disapprovingly, "Although it is a trivial matter on the hunting ground, if Xie Che didn't rein in his horse today, would it be a trivial matter if he fell from the horse in shock? Or would it be a trivial matter to bump into Jiang Ziyu? Is it a trivial matter for other gentlemen in the midfield? It’s okay to be competitive, but it’s okay to use any means.”

Xie Mingyue's eyes fell on Xie Che who was bowing again, "Your Majesty, Xie Che will inherit the Marquis Mansion in the future." He said.

Li Chengqi paused.

In the future, when Xie Che became a lord, he would shoot openly and covertly. Compared with him today, even if he was injured, it would be an insignificant matter.

Besides, there is no rule saying that it cannot be done.

If you pamper too much, you will be like Li Yin.

The emperor thought about it, raised his glass at the end, and smiled at Xie Mingyue, "Mr. Gu understands the love of his son, and he will love his son for a hundred years, but Gu feels that he can't even protect him now, and he doesn't want to talk about it for a hundred years. "

Xie Mingyue looked at him, "Oh?"

Li Chengqi laughed, "I can't see my children being wronged."

On the surface, the matter of the hunting ground was embarrassing for Xie Che, but in fact, it was directed at Xie Mingyue.

Xie Mingyue was silent for a moment, then suddenly lowered her eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty's loyal servants also understand, but if His Majesty tells you to stop at this moment, no matter who it is, they will not be convinced, especially Xie Che."

After being insulted by this, Xie Che kept his face calm. He bowed and shot arrows as smoothly as before. Doesn't he want to win?

Not only want to win, but also want to win openly.

Let others see that even with these unapproachable methods, they are still no match for him.

Li Chengqi thought about it for a while, "That's fine." He teased, "I'm afraid that if the young master loses, he will come back and complain about you as a father."

Xie Mingyue also smiled, and replied calmly, "Your Majesty might as well think about it, and give Xie Che Ruyi and Yupei some words of encouragement."

Li Chengqi smiled.

All the officials couldn't help looking in his direction, not knowing what Li Chengqi was happy about.

The sun shone into the eyes, shaking people dizzy.

A drop of sweat dripped into Xie Che's eyes, causing him to squint.

The handsome young man with strange eyebrows and eyes frowned, and his eyes narrowed into thick and colorful lines, which contained a bit of hostility.

There are many large and small prey on the hunting ground, but there are only six deer. Xie Che has two, including the one that stopped Xie Che just now, and Dai Ling also has two. Chasing in panic, he galloped across the field, dodging several feathered arrows.

When the six deer are exhausted, the hunting will stop.

Dai Ling and Xie Che rode side by side, the distance between the horses was less than half a foot.

Xie Che missed the shot many times, and his breathing trembled slightly.

Meng Chun slapped his thigh straight on the small table not far away, wishing he could yell at Xie Che, how did my sister teach you!

Fortunately, Meng Xingchi was not there, otherwise seeing Meng Chun's restless behavior, he would have wanted to give him a few slaps.

Dai Ling dismissed it in his heart, and smiled at him with a mocking smile. He nocked his arrow and aimed at the galloping deer. His voice was shattered by the sound of the wind, but he could still hear the extremely provocative emotions in it, "I heard that Xiao Lord Hou is also interested in this piece of jade pendant, I will let the young master watch it and enjoy it."

Feathered arrows shot out following his words.

Dai Ling's archery skills were also accurate, and everyone seemed to have seen the result when the dust had settled. Meng Chun, who had been standing restlessly, sat down and sighed deeply.

Xie Che's arrow was only a little slower than Dai Ling's.

But even if it was only a little slower, Dai Ling would be the first to shoot.

Dai Ling put down his bow and arrows, the victory is already in his hands.

Xie Mingyue watched calmly.

Li Chengqi propped her jaw with her hands, and also focused on watching.

Everyone had seen the result, the palace servants were about to beat the drums to stop, but suddenly opened their eyes wide at the next moment.

The arrow had just touched the deerskin, but before it penetrated, Xie Che's feathered arrow pierced along the tail of the arrow, with such force that it sliced ​​the arrow from the middle!

The two feathered arrows fell to the ground at the same time.

The escaped deer opened its eyes wide.

The next moment, an arrow pierced through the deer's eye.

The deer ran forward a few steps in pain, and was shot by another arrow before falling to the ground.

Meng Chun was dumbfounded, hesitated for a moment, stood up abruptly, and shouted towards the hunting ground: "Xie Che, you didn't embarrass my sister!"

It's a pity that Xie Che didn't hear the noisy hunting ground.

All the hesitation just now was just a pretense to make Dai Ling relax his vigilance.

When the drums sound, all sounds stop.

The palace man from the hunting ground ran over. Because of the special situation, he picked up the two arrows and sent them to the place where the general was.

The two arrows were passed among the generals.

Among them, the shaft of the feathered arrow with Dai Ling's name engraved on it was split from the center and divided into two, exactly.

Several people looked at each other, and a veteran sighed, "Sure enough, a hero is a boy."

Feng Jin was fiddling with the arrow that had been split in two, he didn't talk much, so he just nodded.

Among all the generals, his archery skills are the best, and his approval shows that Xie Che's archery skills are excellent.

Holding the arrow pierced by Xie Che with both hands, Zhao Shangxing quickly walked up to Li Chengqi, and said with admiration: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xie Xiaolang is really a genius."

Hearing his voice, Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he poured himself a glass of sweet water.

The competition in the small hunting ground is riding and archery. If you can shoot arrows to this level, it is clear which archery is better between Xie Che and Dai Ling.

Besides, Xie Che got the most deer.

Even if Dai Ling and Jiang Ziyu used that method just now, it was Xie Che who took the lead.

With a slight smile on Xie Mingyue's lips, she put down the wine glass.

He had been holding the wine glass just now, neither drinking nor putting the wine glass on the table.

Li Chengqi picked up an arrow and said with a smile: "If you have a son like this, why worry about my lack of successors."

With the evaluation of the emperor, it is already clear who the leader is.

Dai Ling suddenly turned his head and looked at Xie Che fiercely.

Xie Che nodded at him, "Thank you, Mr. Dai, for letting go."
