Thousands of Mountains

Chapter 25 Sneak Attack

On the way to Guiyun Lake together, Chen Ji whispered to Yin Cen, "Someone attacked me on the hill, Gaifeng's front hoof was not accidentally injured, but was hit by a hidden weapon, and I lost my balance, so I fell. down."

Yin Cen frowned, the surprise attack in broad daylight must not be an emergency, but a long-planned plan.

Who is it?

What is the purpose?Just to make the prince embarrassing in front of everyone and lose his ranking?

Yin Cen asked, "Did you see someone sneaking up on you?"

Chen Ji replied, "No, I thought it was a problem with the horse's hoof, but when I inspected it, I found that there was a tiny steel nail pierced into the horse's leg. This must be man-made."

Yin Cen nodded, he didn't have much idea at this moment, just thinking about it, he had already arrived in front of Guiyun Lake.

In the center of Guiyun Lake, a pleasure boat was parked. Two tall columns were erected above the bow, and a swing that could swing back and forth was hung in the columns.

Those who play on the water swing must stand on the swing, get off the swing at the right time when the swing reaches the highest point, and fall into the water with a superb and beautiful posture.

Must be good in water, well coordinated, and not afraid of heights.

Good-looking figure is the key, otherwise it will be embarrassing in all directions.

Yin Cen did not expect to see synchronized diving in this year. He looked up at the extremely high water swing and asked Chen Ji suspiciously, "You can do this?"

Chen Ji sighed, "It's not what you said, just force it."

Yin Cen giggled so hard that he was about to stifle internal injuries, "So it's not okay, why don't you just admit it and forget it, because if you fall down and hit the water, it will hurt."

"You still laugh when you know it hurts?..." Chen Ji was very dissatisfied, this brother didn't know how to feel sorry for me.

He also said, "Father is looking forward to seeing my performance today. If I shrink back now, it will be difficult to change my impression in his heart."

"Well," Yin Cen nodded, "behave well, enter the water with your head down, hold back a little internal strength, be sure, don't fall sideways."

Yin Cen thought to himself, he was careless, if he had known that the water swing was such a thing, he could have taught this kid synchronized diving earlier, he could perform a 360-degree turn and a front flip for two and a half weeks, so as not to scare everyone to death.

Suddenly he remembered that he could teach the simplest one now.

He pulled Chen Ji over, "You play something different later."

Chen Ji's suspicious eyes floated over, and Yin Cen said, "Others must stand on the water swing with their faces facing forward, and jump forward after reaching the highest point. You come forward with your back facing forward, and when you can jump, open your hands. People jump backwards, raise their hands above their heads when they enter the water, first press the water splash, let the body enter the water straight from head to toe, and make sure it looks good.”

Chen Ji's suspicious eyes became even stronger, jumping behind his back, and splashing water... Can it work?

Eunuch He has already started to let the spectators board the other boats, and the sons who want to dive and swing will be sent to the boats in the center of the lake by small boats.

Chen Ji recited the method Yin Cen just said in his heart, and decided to do it like this. There is no better way anyway, it is better than stabbing headfirst.

At this moment, Yun Ye is calm and relaxed, with a plan in his chest.

Water swings, who in the southeast have played since they were young, in terms of water, the children in the coastal areas are not afraid.

A total of about ten men participated in the water swing, and the interest of the spectators was far higher than that of the players.

The ten sons put on special swing clothes in the painting boat, without any cumbersome decorations on their bodies. Chen Ji wore a sky blue slanted top with a slightly darker clear water blue pleated skirt. The fabric is soft and light, and it dances with the wind. , Standing on the bow of the boat is really beautiful.

Yin Cen thought of the phrase "If you lose, you don't lose." He thought to himself how could he be so good at dressing up when he was tall and tall, and he always blamed him for being good-looking.

The ten young masters on the boat in the middle of the lake wore swing clothes of different colors. For the beauty of floating, each of them took some care, such as the robes with long streamers, such as the ones with tulle gowns, and the others. This man is full of gauze layer after layer, and it is colorful at a glance. In this world, it is true that daughters are not as delicate as men.

The first one to play was Yu Zairan, who was eliminated in the first round of horse riding and archery. This time, the water swing trembled and stood on the swing board again.

The father-in-law of Li Jian stood alone, and He Jin shouted loudly, pushing the swing forward vigorously together.

The turquoise ribbon dyed by Yu Zai fluttered high, and his dress fluttered. He gritted his teeth tightly, and the swing was swinging back and forth.

When he reached the highest point, Yu relented, let go and jumped down. The audience in the stands held their breath.

A line of emerald blue light went straight down, and Yu Zairan shrunk his body into a ball halfway. With a "boom", a huge meat ball fell into the lake, splashing water everywhere.

Everyone was dumbfounded, this entering the water... was unheard of.

But it's so funny.

When Yu Zairan came up again from the water, he could only hear loud laughter from the stands around the water, all the ladies and wives were holding their bellies and laughing up and down.

No wonder the folks in the southeast love to play with this water swing, it's really interesting!It should be kept in the palace in the future, come once a month!

Chen Ji covered his eyes, unable to see anything.

Yunye covered his mouth, this young man from the capital city is not good at skills, but he is courageous enough.

Then everyone saw all kinds of strange diving, some fell horizontally, it hurt to look at it, some fell obliquely, the angle was as tricky as if they had been practiced, and some were afraid to jump on the swing for a long time, and then turned back tremblingly. On the boat... there was only one Yuan Yuanshan, who jumped steadily forward and fell straight into the water, winning a lot of applause.

Only Chen Ji and Yun Ye were left. This time, Chen Ji stopped Yun Ye without waiting until the end, and said, "I know this is the game that Shi Zi is best at. Sister Zhe Gui is also waiting for Shi Zi's demeanor. The ugliness in front of this, I'll go first."

With a smile on the corner of Yun Ye's mouth, he also thanked Chen Ji and let Chen Ji go.

Chen Ji took a deep breath, and stood on the swing with his back facing. Yin Cen was on the diagonally opposite painting boat, and saw that tall, slender young man with azure color began to dance in the air, and his dress was fluttering one after the other. It was very beautiful. up.

There were whispers among the crowd, how does the prince stand up like this?

At the highest point, Chen Ji dropped his hands and jumped down with his back facing the water. He opened his hands and turned his head downwards. He quickly closed his hands over his head. He was straight and slender, and entered the water lightly like an arrow. The water splashed slightly. A circle of ripples.

It's very, very, very gentle.

There was warm applause from the stands on the water. I didn't expect His Royal Highness to win so effortlessly, flying like a ghost in the air, and there was no trace when he entered the water.

However, a strange thing happened again. It had been a while since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been submerged in the water, but no one came up. He Jin squatted down and grabbed the side of the boat, looking down into the water, but Chen Ji was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Ze stood up suddenly and shouted, "Quickly go into the water and have a look!"

Before the words were finished, Yin Cen jumped up from the stand of the painting boat and plunged headlong into the water.

The lake water in early autumn was quite cool, and the water was not muddy. Yin Cen looked down from the direction where Chen Ji entered the water, but there was no one there.Immediately, I became anxious, how could the man disappear after entering the water?

Swimming downstream again, I saw a large piece of aquatic plants deep in the bottom of the lake. Yin Cen saw a light blue skirt floating in the middle of the water plants, and quickly swam towards that direction.

Sure enough, there was a person lying in the water grass, Chen Ji lost consciousness for some reason, the water grass wrapped around his ankles and waist, Yin Cen cut it off swiftly with a knife, picked him up and floated out of the water.

Chen Ze and the people in the stands saw Yin Cen jumping back to the shore with Chen Ji in his arms, and the chaotic yelling in his mouth fell silent instantly. Yin Cen quickly put him down, parted his lips and started artificial respiration, and pressed his heart together.

After a while, Chen Ji suddenly turned over, spat out a mouthful of water, and woke up.

The stands applauded again.

Yin Cen saw that Chen Ji's face was not right, and asked, "What happened?"

Chen Ji's face was pale, dripping with water, and there seemed to be a bruise on his forehead. He glanced at the people in the stands on the lake, and said to Yin Cen, "Let's go back to the house and talk about it."

Yin Cen nodded, and was about to report to the emperor Chen Ze that Chen Ji was unwell and needed to go back to the mansion to rest in advance. Chen Ze waved his hand and ordered Gao Ren to send a carriage and call the imperial doctor to take Chen Ji back to the mansion. .

On the carriage, Chen Ji coughed violently again, and spit out some water, before he was completely relieved.

Yin Cen wrapped him tightly in the quilt on the carriage, and put his arms around him. Chen Ji seemed to be still recalling what happened just now, and said slowly, "I closed my eyes when I entered the water, and then felt the forehead I was hit hard by something, and then I lost consciousness, followed by the feeling that someone dragged me into the water plants in a daze, I wanted to resist but couldn't move at all... Then you carried me out of the water."

Chen Ji looked at Yin Cen seriously, "Does it mean that if you find me later, I will die?"

Yin Cen's anger was no longer indescribable, he tried to calm down, if it is said that the horse riding and shooting range was just a show of disgrace, then the dirty hands in the water at this time are all rushing to take people's lives.

If there were no guards who were good at water and quick to respond, with today's royal guards alone, I am afraid that Chen Ji might really lie down in the water forever.

This is too courageous!In front of the emperor, in front of so many civil and military officials, and children of aristocratic families, if something happens to Chen Ji today, the people who salvage and investigate will only say that the prince is unlucky, his body is entangled in water plants, and he cannot get ashore will die.

Yin Cen gently touched the bruise on Chen Ji's forehead with his fingers, "No, with me here, none of these tricks will succeed."

"Yeah!" Chen Ji smiled palely.

"But the person behind it must be found out. Since this person has already made a move and failed, there must be another time. We are ready and waiting." Yin Cen's eyes showed cruelty.

The imperial physician also came to the mansion, and after checking the pulse, there was nothing serious, so he prescribed some recuperating medicine and left.

Later, an unexpected person came to the Prince's Mansion. Shizi Yunye's Mansion sent someone to send an invitation, saying that His Highness the Prince was invited to the Lion Tower in the city the next day. After all, it was his engagement with Princess Zhegui. There was such an accident at the ceremony, as one of the betrothed hosts, he had to apologize and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to honor him.

Looking at the invitation, Chen Ji and Yin Cen couldn't figure out Yunye's real meaning, whether he was sincerely apologizing, or if he missed the blow, and then probed the other party's reaction?

Yin Cen made a decision, "Go, if you don't go, how will you know if the other party treats each other sincerely, or if you are a monster."

Chen Ji also nodded, "I'm not afraid, there are some dirty tricks, just use them, my brother Pingshan hasn't beaten anyone for a long time."

Yin Cen laughed loudly, and put his arms around his shoulders, "Have a good rest, and beat up the idiot together later."

"Ok!"
