set of flowers

Although Zhuge Xingyun's words show that he likes men, it doesn't mean that he likes Hua Qianshu, but in order to stop the loss in time, Hua Qianyu brought out the existence of twins and vaguely skipped the part about his wife, so as to fabricate a The illusion of a happy family, and hurriedly left before Zhuge Xingyun asked him where his sworn brother lived.

Hua Qianyu thought about Zhuge Xingyun's undisguised loneliness and insincere blessings, looked at Hua Qianshu who stayed at home because of Hua Qianmo's punishment, lamented Hua Qianshu's sinful crimes, and also lamented Zhuge Xingyun's innocence. It took eight lifetimes of bad luck to fall in love with Hua Qianshu.

Under the long corridor, Hua Qianshu taught Xinghe Feiyue how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, but even with a special soft bow, it is difficult for two young children who are just over three years old to draw the string, let alone aim at the target?The two arrows shot together quickly fell near the two archers, accompanied by several arrows on the ground.Hua Qianshu touched the heads of the little shooters, and pretended to be surprised with an exaggerated expression: "Wow! You are indeed my child, really amazing!"

After receiving his father's praise, the twins looked at Hua Qianyu suspiciously. Hua Qianyu looked at the four arrows embedded in the wooden board and lined up on the wooden board in the distance. He didn't know whether to shoot the fifth arrow that would hit it. .

Hua Qianshu added: "He is an adult, and you are still young. Now this is already very serious."

"Will we be as powerful as my uncle in the future?" Hua Xinghe held a light bow that was as tall as himself, and looked at Hua Qianyu with a pair of big eyes, clear eyes full of yearning.

Hua Qianyu raised the corner of her mouth, and replied, "Yes, just like I will be much better than your father."

Draw the string, raise the bow, open the bow and lean on the position, aim, release—the heavy arrow pierces the air, shoots in the middle of the "line segment" with a "swish", the long arrow penetrates the thick wood, and the wood splits in two.

"Wow—" the twins said in unison, and Hua Feiyue clapped her hands even more, the bow in her arms almost fell to the ground.

"Can you show me?" Hua Xinghe looked at the horn bow in his uncle's hand and asked earnestly.

"Of course." Hua Qianyu knelt down on one leg and raised the bow in front of Hua Xinghe. Hua Xinghe didn't take it immediately, but put down his own bow, letting the light bow lean against the fence shorter than it , then stretched out his hands, waiting for Hua Qianyu to put the bow in his hand.

"It's a bit heavy." After being reminded, Hua Qianyu slowly let go of his hand. At the moment when he realized that Hua Xinghe really couldn't bear the weight, Hua Qianyu held the horn bow tightly again, so that Hua Xinghe would not be carried by the weight. During the fall, Hua Xinghe also understood the weight of the bow.Hua Feiyue also put down her obviously unremarkable light bow, and leaned over to have a look.

"Is Daddy also this powerful?" Hua Feiyue turned around and asked Hua Qianshu.

"This……"

Hua Qianshu doesn't like to show off, and he doesn't mind at all that Hua Qianyu is admired by the twins more than himself, but since the child asked, he has no reason not to show his skills.Hua Qianshu picked up the jade wrench on Xifeng's plate, put it on his right thumb, took the bow and arrow from Xifeng, set up the arrow, and said to Hua Qianyu next to him, "That barbarian is Yours?" As he spoke, he glanced at Le Liyou who was standing beside Le Yang.

"Yes, to be noticed by you, should I be happy for him?" Hua Qianyu opened his bow, and the string was pulled to the side of his face, but he didn't intend to release the arrow. He concentrated on looking at the oblique side, as if he couldn't get past the tree .

"Ha," Hua Qianshu said with a smile, "beauty is eye-catching, don't make me look blind."

Hua Qianyu turned to ask: "What is your relationship with Zhuge Xingyun?"

Hua Qianshu opened his bow and answered, "Friend? We used to be friends, but after a quarrel, he didn't say a word and went to Beijing to rush for the exam."

"You really consider him a friend. It's a rare reunion. How can you run so fast?" Hua Qianyu let go of the arrow after Hua Qianshu shot it. The prediction was wrong, two arrows flew across, one was embedded in the tree trunk, and the other was shot into the target.

Gemini watched happily from the sidelines, and didn't care what the two were talking about.

"See you again...I'm very happy, but it's been a long time." Hua Qianshu raised his hand, and Xifeng passed the arrow, "I always feel something is wrong."

Le Yang was also handing the new arrow to Hua Qianyu. Hua Qianyu took it, set it up, and asked, "Are you afraid of him? This is not like you who are shameless and skinless."

When Hua Qianshu heard this, he thought it was funny, and the arrow in his hand shot out steadily, piercing the shaft of the previous arrow, and the arrow hit the wooden target——Hua Qianyu's "attack" still missed.

The twins applauded, Hua Qianshu turned around and smiled at them, and then answered Hua Qianyu's question: "I haven't seen each other for almost ten years, and I've been a stranger for a long time. If it wasn't for his special name, I probably wouldn't recognize him. Depending on my face, he probably wouldn't recognize me." Ten years ago, he wasn't called Yinhuo either.

ten years?For Hua Qianyu, this time is really scary, after all, he is only 15 years old.

"You really think he doesn't recognize you?" Hua Qianyu thought that Zhuge Xingyun took the initiative to find him just to talk to Hua Qianshu.

"Well...the four characters on the fan imitate his handwriting, maybe he still has some impressions." As he said, Hua Qianshu raised three fingers, asking for three arrows, drew the bow fully, and aimed three arrows at the target Fa, this time, Hua Qianyu, who was ready to go, finally knocked down one of them.

Hua Qianshu shook his head with a smile: "Oh, if the eldest brother sees this, maybe he will say that you have lost his manners."

"Brother Mo is so pedantic in your heart?"

Hua Qianshu still shook his head: "Forget it, my elder brother is strict with me, but he is very tolerant of you."

Hua Qianyu said with a smile: "You must be wrong, you always worry about it—I wonder why you have changed so many folding fans, why they are always the same style, so—" Hua Qianyu elongated the sound meaningfully.

Hua Qianshu held his bow and said freely: "Isn't it very suitable for me? These four words."

Hua Qianyu was helpless, his second brother's level of heartlessness had really reached a level.

"Speaking of which, since you know that he is going to take a scientific examination, you will be able to find his whereabouts. You have avoided seeing him for so many years. Didn't you hide from him on purpose? Didn't you think he would look for you?"

"What do you want me for? He is upright and sincere. If you make friends casually, which one is better than me? We don't agree with each other. I already have a big brother who wants me to 'be a man'. Why do I have to make such a friend? Mutual anger?" Hua Qianshu handed the bow to Xifeng, Hua Qianyu saw that his expression was the same as usual, and thought what he said was really from the heart.

If Zhuge Xingyun heard this, he would probably show that expression again, Hua Qianyu thought.

Ten years... How many decades are there in life?

Hua Qianyu suddenly thought, maybe Zhuge Xingyun's loss was just a sadness caused by the fact that things are different.Thinking of this, he turned to Hua Qianshu's back and said, "I saw him in Huamanlou last night... Let's talk to him, he still seems to miss you."

Hua Qianshu agreed simply: "Okay, wait until your eldest brother is willing to let your second brother go out." He walked up to the twins, picked them up, and asked, "Is daddy good?"

"sharp--"

"Want to learn?"

Hua Feiyue said no, Hua Xinghe thought, the former prefers to wield the bamboo stick her father made for her.Hua Qianshu put down the twins, gently scratched the bridge of Hua Feiyue's nose with a bent index finger, and asked the two of them, "Why don't you learn how to sword?"

After receiving affirmative answers from the two, Hua Qianshu leaned into the ear of Hua Xinghe who seemed to be speaking insincerely, and whispered: "When Xinghe is strong enough, daddy will teach Xinghe whatever he wants to learn." He held up the hands of the two of them. , took off the small fingers on their thumbs, and continued: "It's Daddy's fault, Feiyue Xinghe is still young, and he can't use his strength yet."

Hua Qianyu leaned against the pillar and looked at them - it was obvious that the real purpose of Brother Mo's punishment was to let Brother Shu, who always liked to run out, stay with the children more.Thinking about it, he raised the horn bow in front of Le Yang, and said, "Have you not practiced for a long time? Try it."

Le Yang shook his head: "My lord's bow is too expensive, if it is broken by Le Yang's clumsy hands..." Such a good bow will take years to make, not to mention that a weapon like a bow will break if it is used too many times .

"It's okay, the bad ones are not good enough for you."

"Son..."

Being so valued, Le Yang was very moved and determined to satisfy the young master, so he took the horn bow with both hands under Hua Qianyu's gaze.The servants who were taking advantage of this gap to clean up the arrows and broken boards on the ground saw that the situation had changed, and ran back to the corridor resignedly.

"Shoot ten rounds in a row, with both speed and strength, it depends on how well you do."

"Yes!"

After receiving the instruction, Le Yang pulled out the long arrow in the quiver bag on his back, lowered his shoulders, tightened his back, and immediately hit the second arrow after shooting the arrow, so that he shot ten arrows in a row. Although it was a little bit close, one of them brushed against the wooden board and shot at the wall, but judging from the tragic state of the wall and the thick wooden board, Fafa is not lacking in armor-piercing power.Hua Qianyu applauded. Apart from being disappointed with his performance, Le Yang was also worried that he would break the wall and cause trouble—there was a wooden board next to the wall behind the board, but Le Yang missed it a few months ago. Repaired the wall.

Le Liyou watched from the sidelines. Le Yang's strange power was no longer an anecdote. Having never touched a bow, he naturally didn't understand how difficult it was for an archer with such a strong bow to change arrows at such a frequency.

Hua Qianyu glanced at Le Yang's figure, wondering if he was ignoring Le Liyou on purpose, he said: "If you weren't young and out of Brother Shu's hunting range, maybe you could still be my second sister-in-law." After all, for Hua Qianshu In other words, Le Yang is probably also a special existence--especially outstanding ability.

Hearing this, Le Yang trembled his hands and almost couldn't hold the bow, but his young master laughed and said, "Just kidding, I can't bear to let Brother Shu bully you."

Hua Qianyu has always known that Hua Qianshu is not a good person, even for a person like him who was taught by his mother's deeds to respect women and spend his whole life being responsible for the one he loves, Hua Qianshu's behavior is also unreasonable. It is deviant.Before meeting An Mingxi, Hua Qianyu always thought that there were too many things in this world that were more important than the love between men and women. It was not a problem for him not to take concubines or even marry a wife, but he did not think that others What's wrong with three wives and four concubines, you love me, each takes what he needs.Similarly, he has no opinions or even suggestions on what Hua Qianshu did. For him, as long as Brother Shu is happy, he is now wondering whether Hua Qianshu is really happy, and those who may miss Hua Qianshu What about Qianshu's people?

In the past, in order to practice archery well, Hua Qianyu could practice all day in the backyard where the target was set up, but now he feels that the backyard is too quiet... I don't know if Mingxi has learned archery... Since he is a prince, it is impossible for him to be unreasonable shooting ceremony...

Hua Qianyu walked out, Le Yang followed behind him, Hua Qianyu stopped, and waved his hand: "Leave to teach Liyou to shoot arrows, use the bows and arrows in the Bing Pavilion as you like."

"Where are you going, son..."

Hua Qianyu turned around, looked at Le Liyou, sighed, and said: "I also want to teach Mingxi by hand... Forget it, you should study hard, otherwise when the time comes to the battlefield, you will have to stay in the barracks. After finishing speaking, he strode away without telling Le Yang where he was going.

After leaving the gate of Huafu, he happened to see the guard named Li Hebai walking towards him, Hua Qianyu stopped, and waited for Li Hebai to come to him to explain the situation——

According to the interrogation and investigation, Boss Zhao often brought wine to drink at work. The person who served Boss Zhao was indeed an ordinary family, and there was no sign of being ordered by others. Medicine, yesterday was indeed Zhao's eldest daughter's birthday.Boss Zhao thought of using accomplices as an excuse to blackmail his colleagues because Huang Zhong, the jailer who first revealed Boss Zhao's crimes, first said that Boss Zhao made a mistake by taking them to drink, and that Boss Zhao was solely responsible.

"Can Huang Zhong be interrogated alone?" Hua Qianyu asked.

Li Hebai nodded: "It's been interrogated, everyone has been interrogated, but they all insist on not admitting to being instigated by others."

"It was true that no outsiders entered that night?"

"No. There is only one place to go in and out of the prison. Except for the four people who fell asleep, the eight people guarding the entrance said that no outsiders were allowed in or out. After the autopsy, he also said that Zhongshu hadn't been dead for too long—unless there were twelve The jailers conspired."

"is it possible?"

"The subordinates think that... the possibility is unlikely."

Hua Qianyu also felt that it was impossible. After all, it is too difficult to control 12 people without revealing their secrets. Since it is something that can be done by one or two people, there is no need to risk 12 people.

In any case, he didn't think that Wang Mengzhen died of suicide, but if he concluded based on suspicion alone, there would be a mountain of unjust deaths... I really hope that there is a Taoist priest who can recall the souls of the dead, so that he can ask Wang Meng for a question.

"Have you explained this matter to Ming... Fourth Highness?" Hua Qianyu asked.

"The imperial city is not allowed to enter at will, but the letter has been delivered."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, I will talk to His Highness."

……

An Mingxi, who had just returned to the Chonghua Hall from the imperial study, stepped into the main hall, and saw Ajiu pouring tea for Hua Qianyu who was reading a book. Seeing him, Ajiu called out to His Highness, but she had heard a maid outside calling for His Highness Hua Qianyu stood up slowly, bowed, and called His Highness.

The subtle change on An Mingxi's face flashed across, and then he walked over and asked blankly, "What's the matter?" Hua Qianyu's serious attitude made him feel uneasy, worried that Hua Qianyu came to him for the sake of safety. Spiegel.

Hua Qianyu took out the letter from his bosom, and handed it to An Mingxi with both hands: "The jailer's review has a result."

It's really something that came...

Anyway, it wasn't for breaking with him, An Mingxi couldn't say whether he was lucky or frustrated at the moment, but just took the envelope calmly, took out the letter paper, and read it carefully.

Ah Jiu thought to himself: Obviously this letter was not sent by you.

Indeed, Hua Qianyu just asked Ah Jiu for a letter from someone else, and then stuffed the letter into his clothes.

After An Mingxi read the letter, the two discussed the matter. An Mingxi also talked about An Qingxuan asking others to go south to collect evidence on their behalf. Not only was Hua Qianyu not surprised, but he also recommended Li Hebai. , An Mingxi has no objection.

"Ming Xi still remembers that old lady in Su Cheng?"

"The one who informed the eldest lady's identity?"

Hua Qianyu nodded: "Qianyu remembered that the old lady claimed to be the grand lady's nanny."

An Mingxi was astonished as if waking up from a dream: "The eldest lady was only adopted at the age of eight, how could there be a nanny?"

"Yes, maybe they didn't expect that the eldest lady was adopted... Send someone to Gufang Villa to check whether the tunnel exists, and maybe we can confirm whether we have wronged the eldest lady."

An Mingxi lowered his head, thinking: "If not, then our assumption is wrong... Wang Zhongshu betrayed the lord back then, but Zhang Huai's incident probably has nothing to do with him... If the ignorance he showed is not a disguise... "

Hua Qianyu quietly admired the way An Mingxi was thinking. After a while, he turned his head and said to Ah Jiu: "Mingxi and I are here to discuss, you go out—close the door."

Ah Jiu bowed: "Yes." Then he stepped back and slowly closed the door.

Hua Qianyu called out: "Mingxi."

An Mingxi raised his head when he heard the sound, and said: "If those people weren't ordered by Da Furen—" The sudden hug cut An Mingxi's words, Hua Qianyu hugged him tightly, and asked: "Brother Xi, do you miss Qianyu? "

"In less than a day, who would...not want to." As he said this, he raised his hand and embraced Hua Qianyu's waist.

"But Qianyu misses you, and can hardly bear Mingxi not being by his side for a moment."

"……Um."

"I really want to marry you home immediately."

An Mingxi buried her face in his shoulder: "Yes."

An Mingxi's response made Hua Qianyu almost couldn't bear to pick him up and turn him around for a few times, then put him on the bed, and then... Thinking of what he might do that made An Mingxi "unbearable", Hua Qianyu Yu still withdrew his hands, just sniffed his scent, and then closed his arms even tighter, wishing to embed him into his flesh——

"Let's shoot arrows together!" Hua Qianyu said suddenly.

"Archery?"

"Correct."

An Mingxi lowered his eyes: "I don't know how." It's embarrassing to say, as a prince, he doesn't know most of the Six Arts.

"Just right, let me teach you... well, I missed you so much in less than a day, what should I do in the future... can I kidnap you?"

He still has to go to the frontier.

"Idiot," An Mingxi patted his lower back, "Holding him too tightly."
