Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

It was late at night, and the lights in the side hall were dim.Xiong Lu was very sleepy, followed Guan Fuxiu down from the stargazing platform in a daze, fell down on the soft cushion not far from the bed and fell asleep before he reached the bed.

With both hands, gently caressed his cheeks, from eyebrows to lips, inch by inch.He didn't realize it.Suddenly there was the sound of the silver basin overturning outside the door, and the water flowed all over the ground.Xiong Lu moved his eyelids, turned over, and then fell asleep.

Guan Fuxiu turned around, there was anger in his eyes.The maid outside the door hastily knelt down, and worried that Xiong Lu was still asleep, so she didn't dare to speak loudly.Guan Fuxiu stood up, walked slowly in front of her step by step, and said, "Why are you so careless?"

"Damn Xiaolian, Guan Buyin... Your Majesty..."

Guan Fuxiu looked directly into her eyes and said, "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Lian hurriedly shook her head and said, "No...it's nothing, it's just...the king's guards are still waiting outside the hall..."

"Go out and tell them that the king is sleepy, rest here tonight, and let them come tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Go and bring another basin of water and put it outside the door."

"Little Lian understands."

Guan Fuxiu closes the door, and there is a faint figure behind the curtain.He said, "Shadow, help Wang to the bed."

The black shadow came over, gently picked up the bear couple who was sleeping on the ground, and moved him to the bed.Guan Fuxiu covered him with a thin quilt.

"Master, he is not a king."

Guan Fuxiu looked back at the shadow, and when he walked behind the bamboo curtain, the shadow followed closely.Guan Fuxiu said solemnly: "From the day I picked him up, he is the king. Until the real king comes back, he will be the king."

"But he is not after all. Master...they are two different people, why does the master have the same thoughts?"

Guan Fuxiu frowned slightly: "Shadow, have you tried your best to do what I told you?"

"Master, don't worry, the task assigned by the master, even if the shadow is smashed to pieces, will do it. These days, there is no news from the king."

Guan Fuxiu extinguished the lights one by one, and said: "Shadow, you are tired, go and rest. I have my own discretion in my affairs, so you don't have to worry about it."

Shadow stood quietly for a while, cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Shadow understands."

How late did you go to bed last night?So sleepy, I don't remember anything.The Xiong couple woke up in a daze, only feeling that their minds were empty and not clear at all.By the way, he didn't seem to return to the palace last night.Thinking of this, Xiong Lu stood up in an instant, opened his eyes, and saw bamboo curtains and white curtains everywhere.This is... the room of Guan Fuxiu.And the one below is Guan Fuxiu's bed.

He lifted the quilt and walked to the middle of the room, but he didn't see Guan Fuxiu, and there was no one in the room.

He occupied his bed, so where did he go?

Xiong Lu stood in the room for a while, then Guan Fuxiu, dressed in white, pushed open the door, came in with a silver basin, and said, "Your Majesty, you are already awake."

Xiong Lu scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "I'm so sorry, I... occupied your bed last night."

"Nothing, there is no shortage of places to sleep in this temple. The king, come and wash up."

The Xionglian's hair has grown longer, compared to people of this era, it is still short, but it can be tied up, so there is no need to wear a wig.Guan Fuxiu gently combed his hair and tied it up, then put on the hair crown.When Guan Fuxiu was away, Xiong Lu learned to tie his own hair so that others would not find that his hair was much shorter.It's just that the technology is limited and the hair is not well tied. Fortunately, it is not obvious after wearing the hair crown.Watching Fuxiu is much better than what he does.

After eating breakfast at Guanfuxiu, he walked slowly to the bedroom.He will not go to court today, so he is not in a hurry.After changing his clothes in the bedroom, he decided to go out and take a walk in the backyard to relax.As a result, as soon as he went out, he bumped into Rong Ao.

To be precise, it didn't happen by chance, but because Shao Ao waited for him intentionally.Yesterday he decided to keep Yun Ao by his side and let him live in a side hall near his bedroom.Therefore, after a night of arithmetic calculations, with two darkened eye sockets, Ruo Ao happily wandered around early in the morning, waiting for him to come out to discuss arithmetic with him.

Seeing his appearance, Xiong Lu was a little amused, waved off the palace guards, and simply asked Luo Ao to accompany him to visit the Chu Palace.He has already memorized several important routes of Chu Palace, as long as he walks on the avenue and walks in the right direction, he will never get lost.

"My lord, I thought about it all night yesterday and couldn't sleep at night. I just felt that this arithmetic is really very mysterious, so I really want to see the divination watcher, but I am afraid that I will disturb the priest."

Xiong Lu waved his hand and said: "It's not difficult if you want to read it, but I'm afraid he doesn't have the leisure time to ask him about arithmetic. Guan Bu Yin spends most of his time studying ancient books, and he is a bit arrogant. I don’t want to repeat what I’ve gone through once, so you can discuss it with me, if there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll ask Guan Bu Yin.”

Luo Ao was startled and said: "Then Luo Ao is a good man! Your Majesty takes care of everything every day, how can I have the face to take up so much time?"

Xiong Lu said with a smile: "It's okay. Your father asked you to accompany me to study. Every day, you will teach me literature etiquette first, and I will spend about half an hour discussing arithmetic with you. How about it?"

Luo Ao nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two walked around the palace, talking about arithmetic, until noon was approaching, when the palace people rushed to remind them, Xiong Lu remembered that he would learn archery with Pan Dang in the afternoon.After lunch, I lay down on the bed and took a nap before going to the school grounds ahead of schedule.He still remembered the agreement with Guan Fuxiu to let the shadow guide for half an hour before Pan Dang arrived. The content might not have anything to do with archery, and sometimes it would be some simple self-defense moves.

When he arrived, the shadow was already waiting for him there, the two practiced their moves for a while, Xiong Lu always felt that the shadow was not in a good mood today and was full of preoccupations.He said, "Shadow, are you unhappy?"

"The king has a heart, and the shadow is fine. The move has been practiced twice, and the shadow will teach the king another round of archery."

Xiong Lu nodded, put the bow and arrow box on his back, and drew the bow to shoot, with the shadow guiding him.The bear couple just shot the second arrow, the shadow was keenly aware of the human voice, and whispered in his ear: "There are people, the shadow temporarily avoids it."

This arrow barely hit the edge of the target, Xiong Lu was a little depressed, why do people always barge in when he is practicing?It's really annoying.He pretended not to know, drew out another arrow, and shot another one.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and Xiong Lu could hear that the footsteps were very steady.A calm male voice came from behind: "Your Majesty's archery skills need to be improved. Of these two arrows, one is on the edge of the heart, and the other is barely on the target. My Great Chu builds a country by force, so how can your Majesty be weak in archery?" For ordinary soldiers?"

The man walked up to him and stopped at a short distance.Xiong Lu stopped to look at him, suddenly a little nervous, his palms were slightly sweaty.He naturally knew this person, it was Douban who reminded him in the hall that day that the positions of Ling Yin and Da Sima were vacant.Watching a fight from a close distance, I only feel that he has a majestic expression and a murderous look, and he is definitely a battle-tested general.

"It turned out to be Zuo Sima. What a coincidence, Zuo Sima came to the school today to practice archery?"

Looking directly into Xiong Lu's eyes like a fight, Xiong Lu felt a strong sense of oppression.He gave him the feeling that... When he was a child, he occasionally failed the exam, and his father gave him a stern look when he taught him a lesson.Xiong Lu suddenly felt that his idea was a bit funny, how could Douban be compared with his father, he was really confused.

"Today, I don't know that Your Majesty is practicing arrows hard in the school grounds, so I just stopped by and passed by the school grounds to see the war horses."

"So it turns out that Zuo Sima is really responsible, and he is actually a good minister of my great Chu, haha."

The dou-like expression was still very serious, and Xiong Lu even thought that he was about to scold him like a class teacher, but he didn't expect him to put his shoulders on him suddenly, and said: "It's a good thing for the king to practice hard. If you don't dislike it, let me Come and teach me." After saying that, he actually taught him how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

The bears were buzzing in their minds, they didn't expect that Douban would actually do this.He also had the nerve to say that Pan Dang would come to teach him for a while, isn't that rejecting him?So he had no choice but to let him hold hands obediently, slowly draw the bow to the full, and shoot an arrow.

The arrow sank into the red heart, and Xiong Lu had a happy expression on his face, thanking him, "Thank you Zuo Sima for your advice."

The fight-like expression seemed to soften a bit: "Your Majesty, remember, when aiming at the red heart, you must lift up slightly, keep your waist straight, and use your arms firmly." He looked around and asked, "Where are the palace people? Shouldn't you always follow the king? Such a dereliction of duty!"

"I don't blame them, it's because I don't want people to watch, so I let them stay away. In less than half an hour, Pan Dang will come to practice arrows with the widow."

Dou Ban frowned, and said: "That boy Pan Dang, how can you let the king wait?"

Xiong Lu hastily explained again: "The widow is the one who came first. I know myself...the archery is too bad, so I want to come here earlier and practice for a while."

There was a faint smile on his Dou-like face, and he said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about being ridiculed by others. Your archery skills are not good, just practice more. If that boy Pan Dang hasn't arrived, let me teach you."

Xiong Lu thinks that this fight really looks like the combination of his father and the class teacher, why don't you be so conscientious, aren't you fighters big villains?He thought about the Doujiao he saw last time, he was very polite and respectful to him.This Douban doesn't really respect him, but it seems that he regards him as a nephew and tries to discipline him, which is quite responsible.Thinking about it carefully, if the Ao family is from the lineage of King Chu, then Dou Ban can actually be regarded as the uncle of King Zhuang.

Did the assassination last time have anything to do with these two people?The couple bears are a little suspicious.If the person next to him is a traitor, isn't he very dangerous at the moment?Douban is so strong that he can easily break his neck.
