Daily life of captives

Seeing his three subordinates being seated relatively close to him, Lu Feng glanced at the officials of Hou Chu by the way.

"People in the Central Plains pay attention to the emperor and the courtiers. It seems that this is true. Now these people are much better than the ones the king saw a few years ago."

A few years ago, Lu Feng came to Yunzhou with his father to meet Li Zheng. At that time, he thought that in a few years, when Chidi had more soldiers and horses, and when Li Zheng's life was more dissolute, They might be able to capture the Central Plains, so they don't have to live a nomadic life without a fixed place to live, but now Lu Feng feels a little regretful, he shouldn't wait.

The eldest grandson Boyi also looked around, and said calmly: "King Chidi has won the prize."

After three glasses of wine, Xie Jun, who was going to change clothes, brought a few people over, but except for Xie Jun who still had a smile on his face, the word "anger" was clearly written on the faces of the others.

After making a bow to grandson Boyi, Xie Jun said calmly: "The official is late, please punish me, general."

The eldest grandson Boyi glanced at the complacent King Chidi, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, Chidi's horses are all good horses, and even the King Chidi can't control them when they run wild, so how can you rely on them?" Can you catch up with two legs?"

"General Xie for your understanding." Jie Jun raised his head and looked at Lu Feng with a smile, "I have the courage to give King Chidi a suggestion. The next time you go out to participate in an important event, don't choose an untamed horse. That's why our general knows horses, so we can see that it's not that King Chidi is being rude, if it's someone who doesn't know how to do it, it will break King Chidi's tolerance."

"Thank you for the reminder," Lu Feng clasped his fists at Jie Jun, "I offended you a lot earlier."

The most powerful ability of these Central Plains people is probably to talk nonsense in a serious manner, but it seems to be very reasonable, so people can't refute it, it's really suffocating!

Xie Jun nodded and smiled, urging the unhappy officials to take their seats.

Now that everyone is here, the banquet should begin.

Lu Feng first chatted with his grandson Boyi, seemingly just chatting about family affairs, but every sentence was full of secrets, quietly inquiring about Hou Chu's current situation.

The elder grandson Boyi dealt with it calmly, but there was always an unnatural gap between the conversations with Lu Feng. Lu Feng thought it was elder grandson Boyi who was cautious and needed to think carefully before answering his questions, or just Changsun Boyi reacted slowly, but in fact, Changsun Boyi was just taking a sneak peek at Li Shao's prompt.

Li Shao sat next to the eldest grandson Boyi, quietly, and there was nothing noticeable in his words and deeds, so Lu Feng only looked at Li Shao when he first arrived, from Li Shao's temperament and the seat he was sitting on. It can be seen from the position that he is the wife and concubine of Changsun Boyi, and after that, Lu Feng never paid attention to Li Shao.

Li Shao didn't expect that he would be ignored so completely. He has a great reputation. No one has ever ignored him so reassuringly and boldly, whether facing the prince of Ding Ling Kingdom or the princess of Xizhi Kingdom. Di's king was underestimated, which made Li Shao feel a little awkward.

In any case, Lu Feng's ignorance gave Li Shao greater freedom of speech and deeds. Sitting next to Changsun Boyi, turning the cup for a while, and knocking on the table for a while, it seems that these are just habitual small movements, but in the eyes of Changsun Boyi In the eyes, that is a vital reminder.

Unaware of it, Lu Feng only thought that Changsun Boyi was a rather difficult man, but judging from his demeanor, he was definitely a brave and resourceful general. After chatting with him, he found out that he was a quick-thinking politician. No wonder he was able to teach him Such a group of upright and awe-inspiring courtiers appeared.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Feng became jealous, and resolutely stopped probing, he was afraid that if he continued talking, he would be the one who would be prodded out of the secret.

After looking around for a while, Lu Feng suddenly said loudly: "It's no fun just drinking and eating meat like this. Duochen and Jiajiang, come out and play a little bit! General, don't you mind?"

Duochen and Jiajiang are well-known warriors in Chidi, and they are also Lu Feng's right-hand men.

"I don't mind." Looking Duochen and Jiajiang from head to toe very quickly, Changsun Boyi had a general understanding of the strength of these two people.

With permission, Duochen and Jiajiang walked to the center of the field, and started fighting without saying a word. The strength of the two was comparable, and they were very familiar with each other's ways. The longer it took, the more boring this competition became.

Changsun Boyi raised his hand to beckon the two Habayashi guards not far away, and ordered: "Go and add some color."

"Yes, General!"

The two Habayashi guards had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, and they couldn't bear their skills. Immediately after Sun Boyi gave orders, they immediately inserted between Duochen and Jiajiang with great interest. When the competition between the two became a competition between the two countries, in the The people who watched the battle immediately cheered up and watched intently. The officials of Hou Chu did not want to shout and shout because of their status, but the passionate generals in the Yubayashi Army didn't care about this, and shouted when they watched anxiously. Cheering and cheering for his companions, the scene became lively in an instant.

This two-on-two competition lasted for half an hour, and in the end the two Habayashi guards lost.

The two Habayashi guards actually didn't feel ashamed to lose, who said that their skills were not as good as others, but after taking a few breaths, the two of them suddenly remembered that they were sent by Changsun Boyi to fight these two Chidi people In addition to representing themselves, they probably also represent Hou Chu. Thinking about it this way, the two of them felt a little nervous.

"General..." The two men walked up to Changsun Boyi with their heads down, and looked carefully at Changsun Boyi's expression.

Is the general angry or not?Can this face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years change a little?

"Go and have a good rest." Changsun Boyi looked up at the two panting Habayashi guards, and said nothing unnecessary.

In fact, Changsun Boyi didn't think there was anything to be angry about. The ordinary soldiers in his Habayashi Army fought with Chidi's warriors for half an hour. Although they lost because of inferior skills in the end, isn't this a matter of course?On the contrary, it took the two Chidi warriors half an hour to defeat the two pawns, so they must be vomited to death right now?

Sure enough, both Duochen and Jiajiang looked extremely ugly, and after being glared at by Lu Feng, they returned to their respective seats and sat down resentfully.

Changsun Boyi said in a nonchalant manner: "The Chidi people are indeed brave and good at fighting. We have to ask our Habayashi Army to strengthen their training when we go back."

After hearing this, Lu Feng gritted his teeth secretly.

Also strengthen training?Did he want to train the soldiers of Hou Chu to be as powerful as his warriors of Chidi?Even in Chidi, there are only a handful of people who are as strong as Duochen and Jiajiang. If this general trains an army where everyone is so strong, these nomadic tribes living in the gap between the Three Kingdoms will still have a way out No? !

Just when Lu Feng was thinking about how to respond to Eldest Sun Boyi's words, Chi Di's only woman on this trip stood up and walked out gracefully.

"My lord, Ruji heard that there are many good archers in Houchu. I wonder if Ruji has the honor to ask for advice today?"

Hearing the ecstasy sound, even Li Shao couldn't help but his bones shattered, so he turned his head and looked at the open space in the field for the first time.

I saw a woman with a charming smile standing lazily in everyone's sight. The woman's upper body was wrapped in leather armor, revealing her uneven figure. Her lower body was wearing a pair of loose trousers and a pair of sheepskin boots. , the boots were tied with a rough straw rope, hooped on the legs, and looked a bit heroic, but what caught Li Shao's attention was the longbow carried by the woman behind her back.

Suddenly being kicked by Changsun Boyi, Li Shao looked suspiciously at Changsun Boyi, and seeing Changsun Boyi staring at him with dissatisfaction, Li Shao shrugged and looked away.

Logically speaking, shouldn't he be worried that Boyi will empathize with other women if he looks at other women more?Why is Boyi always in charge of him?Can't he just look at it?

Lu Feng looked at his grandson Boyi with a bright smile: "Ruji is the number one archer in Chidi under his master, and has always been confident in his archery skills, and has never lost in various competitions in Chidi. Self-satisfaction has given me a headache, I don’t know if there is anyone from Houchu who can kill her today, tell her to calm down. But I see that you don’t have many generals from Houchu.”

Changsun Boyi said coldly: "The generals of Houchu are all busy defending the frontiers. They are not as idle as I am, who can run around with His Majesty. If Miss Ruji doesn't mind, then compare yourself with King Cangyun."

Because Ruji successfully attracted Li Shao's attention, the eldest grandson Boyi didn't like Ruji very much, and he didn't even want to take a look at her.

Tao Wujing stood up when he heard the words, and bowed to Ruji.

As a result, Ruji glanced at Tao Wujing, looked at the eldest grandson Boyi and said with a charming smile: "The general of Hou Chu, this King Cangyun is not good at bows and arrows at first sight, and his skills are not too bad to be seen, but it is not The best among them, if he competes with Ru Ji, he will definitely lose."

Tao Wujing said with a smile: "It's okay to lose. I have been in the army for half my life, and I can't win every time. The so-called there are mountains outside the mountains. There are people outside the mountains. I don't know if Miss Ruji can understand this sentence. I haven't drawn my bow for many years. , I also want to know how far I am, so I ask Miss Ruji to enlighten me."

It doesn't matter if he loses, you can show the eldest grandson and son how the girl's archery skills are.

Ruji felt a little dissatisfied with Tao Wujing's ignorance, but she didn't stop Tao Wujing: "Since King Cangyun is so open-minded, please."

Only then did Tao Wujing come out from behind the table.

Habayashi Wei hurriedly set up the target, and gave Tao Wujing a pair of bows and arrows that he had prepared a long time ago. Tao Wujing flicked the bowstring and tried it out. He felt that the bow was quite handy, so he smiled at Ruji.

Ruji gave a cold snort of disdain, and set up her bow to shoot arrows very casually. It seemed that there was no process of aiming at all, but the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

Tao Wujing immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Miss Ruji's arrow skills are truly amazing!"

Ru Ji frowned, and looked at Tao Wujing suspiciously.

This Cangyun King actually still praised her leisurely manner?Look down on her?

When it was Tao Wujing's turn, Tao Wujing was obviously not as unrestrained as Ji Ji. The arrow rested on the bowstring for a long time before it was shot, but it still missed the bull's-eye and missed.

"Hahaha, I made Miss Ruji laugh." The fact that his skills were inferior to others was in front of him, but Tao Wujing was still in a good mood, smiling brilliantly.

Ru Ji frowned.

Can you laugh at this?What about his pride as a man?

Tao Wujing wanted to try another arrow at first, but after drawing the bow, he gave up after measuring it. He turned his head and said to Changsun Boyi with a smile, "It's not as good as back then. Do you want to try it yourself, General?"

Grandson Boyi gave Tao Wujing a white look, and said in a deep voice, "This general is not good at archery either."

"Is it that difficult?" Li Shao stood up suddenly, stretched his arms, "I'll try."

The eldest grandson Boyi looked up at Li Shao, and said: "You can play, be careful."

"Understood." With a bright smile, Li Shao strode towards Tao Wujing, and took the bow and arrow from Tao Wujing.

Tao Wujing also smiled and said: "Young master, be careful, don't hurt yourself."

Li Shao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "When did King Cangyun become as verbose as the general?"

"The general is concerned about your son." After saying this, Tao Wujing returned to his seat and sat down after bowing his hands.

Ru Ji presumptuously looked the thin Li Shao from head to toe, and asked disdainfully, "Who are you from General Hou Chu? Male concubine?"

As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Ruji's tone, Li Shao smiled calmly and said, "I haven't married yet, so I'm just a fiance for the time being."

"Oh," Ruji sneered, "I know that many men in Houchu have male concubines, and we Chidi also have concubines, but I really haven't heard of anyone who would marry a man as their wife, can you give birth to them? "

Li Shao didn't expect that Ru Ji, who is Lu Feng's subordinate, would say such a thing, turned his head to look at Ru Ji, Li Shao didn't take it seriously and said: "General, if he can give our family a person to pass incense, Then I don't mind giving him one, the premise is that he must be able to give birth."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shao shot an arrow and hit the bull's-eye.

"It's time for you, girl."

Ru Ji looked at Li Shao's archery target, then put on a posture, drew the bow and set the arrow.

Seeing that Ruji was about to let go, Li Shao suddenly said very casually: "Is it time for King Chidi to need an heir?"

Ruji's hand trembled, and the arrow missed.

Putting down the bow in her hand, Ruji looked at Li Shao angrily.

Li Shao looked at Ruji's target, pretending to be surprised and said: "I thought that Miss Ruji was a perfect shot, but she would miss it too, so I don't worry."

He felt that there was something more in this woman's eyes when she looked at King Chidi, but he didn't expect that he was really fooled.

Ru Ji took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "The horse stumbles, and the man stumbles. It's your turn."

Li Shaola nocked the bow, but this time he skipped the step of aiming and released the arrow directly, hitting the bull's-eye again.

Putting down his arms, Li Shao turned his head and saw Ruji's mouth opened slightly, as if he had something to say but didn't have time to say it.

Li Shao pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Miss Ruji have something to say?"

Ruji closed her mouth, and gave Li Shao a bitter look: "No!"

After the words fell, Ruji began to prepare her third arrow.

However, when the arrow was about to leave the string, Ru Ji heard Li Shao's voice: "I don't know if King Chidi would prefer a virtuous woman who bears his children to a brave female general."

Unexpectedly, Ruji's arrow missed again.

Ru Ji was so angry that she dropped her bow and arrow, and glared at Li Shao angrily: "You are cheating!"

Li Shao looked innocent: "When?"

Li Shao said those two words in a low voice, no one could hear them except himself and Ruji, so when the people around suddenly saw Ruji throwing the bow and arrow, they all looked dazed.

"Ruji, what's wrong?"

Hearing Lu Feng's deep voice, Ruji came back to her senses, and immediately turned around and knelt down towards Lu Feng: "Your subordinate has lost his composure, please punish me."

Lu Feng didn't say anything, because obviously the decision-making power in this matter was not in his hands. What Ruji offended was the people of General Hou Chu Tiance. explain.

The eldest grandson Boyi didn't say anything, just looked at Li Shao, and Li Shao smiled and said, "Isn't that going to be punished? It's just a trivial matter. A woman's emotions come when you say it. This is also a lovely place for women, Chi Di." What does Wang think?"

Lu Feng still had a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "But Ruji really offended this...?"

Not knowing how to address Li Shao, Lu Feng turned to his elder Sun Boyi for help.

The eldest grandson Boyi said calmly: "Our people in Houchu call him son, and King Chidi can call him whatever he wants."

Lu Feng turned to Li Shao again, and said, "Ru Ji has indeed offended the young master, and should be punished."

Li Shao handed over the bow in his hand to a Habayashi guard, and walked back: "It's just a question, it's not an offense. King Chidi also said that Miss Ruji is proud of her archery skills, I have never lost to anyone, so I probably felt that she shouldn't have lost to me just now, who told me to look like I have no power to restrain the chicken."

"Master, you are joking," Lu Feng laughed dryly, "Ruji, why don't you thank you for your generosity?"

Ruji reluctantly said, "Thank you, Young Master."

Li Shao waved his hand, turned around and sat down next to Eldest Sun Boyi: "Before I came, someone told me that this was just a banquet, but how can there be such a boring banquet? Master Shangshu, do you owe me something?"

Not counting Tao Wujing's match, there were two matches in total. It seemed that Chi Di had a tie with Hou Chu, but after the first match Chu Chu lost and still won. In other words, Chi Di lost two games today. If we don't change the atmosphere, King Chidi will make an appearance in person next time, right?But Boyi is the only one who can fight against King Chidi. If King Chidi loses again, it will be really embarrassing.They didn't come here specially to fight against Chi Di today.

Minister of Rites hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile on his face: "It's because I didn't think carefully, which made the young master feel bored, and also neglected the distinguished guests from Chidi. I just asked the actors to come and perform."

As soon as Ye Ling entered the arena, the embarrassing atmosphere caused by the competition disappeared in an instant, at least on the surface, it was not so embarrassing.

Lu Feng also smiled again, appreciating the singing and dancing, while looking at the officials of Hou Chu.

Li Shao thought the singing and dancing were too loud, so he greeted his grandson Boyi, and then led Yu Shi away from the open grass and walked to a small forest beside him.

"Young Master." Sensing that someone was following them all the time, Yu Shi tightened his nerves and stood on guard cautiously.

Li Shao smiled lightly: "It's okay, you go and hide for a while, women want to talk to someone, and they don't like having extra people listening, especially if they want to say something ulterior."

Yu Shi was taken aback, and immediately guessed the identity of the person from Li Shao's hint, and then he followed Li Shao's order and walked a little further.

As soon as Yu Shi left, Ru Ji came out from behind a tree, and in a flash, she came in front of Li Shao, and pressed the dagger she had drawn out at some point on Li Shao's neck.

"What do you know?"

Li Shao took a few steps back, leaned against a tree trunk, tilted his head and smiled: "What?"

"Don't play dumb!" Ru Ji sent the dagger forward again.

Sensitive skin felt the coolness and threat, Li Shao looked at Ru Ji with a smile that was not a smile: "Miss Ru Ji, be careful, if I go back with the injury later, it will be difficult to explain."

Ru Ji was startled, she retracted her hands unconsciously, and then bluffed: "How much do you know about our king?!"

They have been carefully protecting the information about the king, and what can be spread are all irrelevant or false news. How did this person know that the king's concubine is pregnant?How did he know about the relationship between her and the king?That was clearly a secret between the two of them!

Li Shao said with a smile: "That is your Chidi's king, how would I know about him?"

Chidi is a nomadic people, living in no fixed place, and the people of the tribe are extremely united, so it is impossible to bury hidden stakes among the Chidi people. Fortunately, there are few Chidi people. It's nothing to say.

Seeing that Li Shao refused to admit it, Ruji said angrily: "If you dare to spread the news that the king has an heir, no matter where you are in the world, I will definitely kill you!"

Li Shao was taken aback for a moment, and said with some surprise: "He really already has an heir? This is really... surprising."

King Chidi also has a brother and a younger brother. According to the rules of Chidi, if King Chidi has no heirs, after the death of King Chidi, the throne of Chidi will pass to one of his brothers. Son, after the death of King Chidi, the throne will naturally be passed on to his son, and his brother will live and die with his son, even if King Chidi's son died of illness, his brother will also be buried with him.Therefore, the most loyal guardians of Chidi kings in the past are his uncles. If these people want to live, they must do their best to keep Chidi king's life.

When Li Shao heard this incredible "tradition" from Sejong for the first time, Li Shao still felt that there was no such unreasonable thing in the world, but Chidi believed in gods and was extremely devout, no matter how incomprehensible it was, As long as it is said to be the will of the gods, the Chidi people will abide by it throughout their lives, and the saying that the fate of the uncle and nephew is connected is naturally the word of the gods.

Thinking about it now, Li Shao felt that this was probably the most clumsy way Chidi came up with to protect the crown prince after experiencing countless power struggles.

Ruji was taken aback, seeing that Li Shao's expression didn't look fake, she immediately scolded herself for being impulsive, but that's also due to the treachery of this man!How could she not be worried when he said that?

But Li Shao, who caught a glimpse of Ru Ji's troubled expression, was in a good mood.

"Miss Ruji sent me such important news. I am really touched. Could it be that Miss Ruji was a spy buried in Chidi by the former emperor? Do you want to return to Houchu?"

You really can't do things with a bad heart. Look, he just said two ambiguous words, and Ruji panicked like this. Is she afraid that the heirs of King Chidi will be discovered, or is she afraid that she and King Chidi will be found out? Adultery was discovered?Tut tut.

Seeing Li Shao's playful expression, Ru Ji trembled with anger.
