In the National Teacher's Mansion, Qing Yu is sitting on a sandalwood armchair drinking tea. The red copper charcoal basin in the house has just gathered a charcoal fire, which makes people feel warm and cozy. There will be "crackling" sparks from the charcoal fire from time to time. .

Standing in front of Qingyu was a young man of a foreign race. The sleeve of his right hand was hanging straight down by his side. It could be seen that he had lost an arm.

Qing Yu's eyes fell on the severed arm, and then she raised her eyes to look at Humanity and said, "I didn't expect that Master Fan Er would also lose his hand. It seems that the power around Lord Gu Hou can't be underestimated."

Pan Yu just lowered his head slightly ashamed.

Qing Yu laughed loudly, and said comfortingly: "I know that you have tried your best, so the second leader does not need to blame yourself, after all, this is justifiable."

For these aliens, Qing Yu's attitude is obviously much better than that of others. Even if the assassination failed this time, he is still quite tolerant.

In fact, the assassination of Su Yan Fanyu was also a narrow escape that day. He managed to escape from those treacherous people, and he was lucky enough to get his life back. It is a feather and return.

He used to disdain and despise the people of the Central Plains, but now he is frustrated by the people of the Central Plains, and he has a feeling of jealousy towards those people.

Fan Yu raised his head, and said to the teacher in the Central Plains dialect: "Now that Su Yan has returned to Beijing safely, he is still locked in the sky prison of the imperial court. He knows about our cooperative relationship and all the secrets in the southwest region. , once the confession will be bad for us, this person will have endless troubles, I can ask my brother to send a dead man to assassinate him!"

Qing Yu stood up, and the soft candlelight in the room shone on the side of his face, making that feminine face even more beautiful, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about this, Su Yan's father and his Su family have more than 100 pieces of paper. Human life is still in my hands, I believe he dare not speak nonsense. Besides, he really won't live long."

Fan Yu didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't say anything more, thinking that the national teacher had made his own decision and didn't need him to worry about it, he just said: "My elder brother asked me to ask, how long will it take to wait?" , can we send troops to capture the imperial city?"

Qing Yu turned around and put the palm of his right hand on his left chest, like a special etiquette, he humbly bowed slightly and said to humanity: "Please tell Chief Fanlu that the time has not yet come, and when the time is right , you and I will be able to conquer the royal family of the Central Plains by cooperating internally and externally, and then it will be the time to achieve hegemony, and then he will be the only emperor to rule the Central Plains."

Hearing this, Fan Yu laughed admirably, as if he had seen his eldest brother wearing a dragon robe sitting on the throne of the emperor, and he, the hero who founded the country, was also among the princes and generals, enjoying endless glory and wealth up.

However, Qing Yu, with his head down, had a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth. He was thinking that these greedy and stupid Xinling people are so easy to deceive. No wonder they were invaded by the Central Plains and their tribe was slaughtered. It's time for someone to change the leader.

Naturally, Qing Yu would not hand over the country and the throne he had obtained to others. These aliens were nothing more than pawns he used.

...

Three days later, the emperor arranged a palace banquet in the warm pavilion of the West Palace. There was an open space outside the main hall, and there was a shooting range for people to entertain.

All civil and military officials were present at this banquet, and the hall was already full of wine and wine. The maids came in orderly with all kinds of melons, fruits, wine and delicacies on mahogany trays, and placed the food on the sandalwood table in front of everyone. After getting on, she went out gracefully and gracefully.

In the center of the hall, there are more than a dozen dancers in light gauze and soft silk, dancing to the melodious tunes played by the musicians on lutes and zithers. The eyes of all the officials present are straightened, and they feel intoxicated even before drinking. .

At the top of the main hall sat the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Xiaolin and Gu Muchen sat at the bottom, and diagonally across from him sat a muscular man of a different race, his clothes looked different from those around him. out of place.

This person has dark skin, silver-white hair, a straight hooked nose, and light blue eyes. He is Yeliqi, the second prince of the Xize Kingdom in Nanyang.

At this time, Yeliqi was looking towards Xiaolin, and smiled politely at him.

Xiaolin had been talking to the emperor since the banquet started, and just as he turned around, he saw the big foreigner smiling at him strangely, which made him twitch the corners of his mouth uncomfortably, but he still smiled and nodded to him, then Look away.

At this time, that Yeliqi got up and came out, holding a cup in his hand, toasted the emperor above, and said in a strange voice: "Thank you His Majesty the emperor, for the warm hospitality with fine wine and food, this time I can personally escort you to present to the royal court. It is also my honor, this glass of wine Yeliqi respects the emperor, I wish the prosperity of the Hongwu Kingdom and the well-being of His Majesty."

Xiaoyi from above nodded with a smile, took a drink from his glass, and said with a smile, "Prince Yeli rarely visits the Central Plains, so he will stay for a few more days and go for a walk. I believe your trip will be worthwhile."

Yeliqi bowed his head in reverence and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your grace, then Yeliqi would be more respectful than obedient."

Afterwards, the second prince specially came over to toast with Xiaolin and Gu Muchen. His gaze was fixed on Gu Muchen for a long time. After all, this was the little general who defeated them in Xize Kingdom. He still knew him. There must be hatred, but there is also some respect and appreciation.

Because the emperor ordered that the palace banquet should not be too restrained. After drinking and eating, some young people ran out to play. There was a target on the field outside for shooting, and there were a few good horses for horse racing.

Xiaolin drank some wine, Jun's face flushed slightly, feeling that the hall was stuffy and wanted to go out to get some air. Seeing this, Gu Muchen led him out and watched the eunuch's children shooting in the crowd.

Seeing the person's eyes blurred and a little dizzy, Gu Muchen whispered to him in a gentle tone: "I told you to drink less, but you didn't listen, are you drunk?"

These words were filled with resentment, but Xiaolin's heart felt warm when he heard them. He hiccupped in response to the occasion, raised his head and smiled brightly at the person, "Why are you afraid of being drunk? Master Hou will carry you back when you fall down. Woolen cloth."

That smile was bright and moving, like the warm sun that suddenly shone in on this winter day, it hit the eyes of the Nanyang people over there, Yeliqi couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Yeliqi originally thought that his sorcerer, Arut, was a charming enough beauty, but he didn't expect that the prince of the Central Plains royal family was so jade-like, even worse than that.

At this time Yeliqi came over, he completely lost the humiliation and eloquence when he met the emperor just now, and he still said in a loud and blunt voice: "I heard that the men in your Central Plains are weak and sick, so most of the civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty are capable of military affairs. There are very few people here, I wonder if that is the case? I am very interested in competing with the prince in archery, I wonder if the prince will show respect?"

Knowing that the Nanyang people are rude and straight-forward, but these words sounded like compliments, but they were sarcasm, and they were sarcasm in place. It was like offending all the men from the Hongwu Kingdom present, and immediately welcomed many angry people. look.

Even Xiaofeng, who was leading the Imperial Army team over in the arena, stopped when he heard this. He frowned and looked over. Seeing that the person invited was Xiaolin, he couldn't help feeling worried, and waved his hands to let his subordinates continue patrolling, while he walked over Said: "Why don't I compare with you."

Everyone cast their gazes over and saw a commander of the imperial army in armor approaching. The firm look in his eyes and the mighty aura made the second prince feel a little uncertain, and said, "This general looks like a general at first glance. He has nothing to do with you." Comparability, I just want to compete with your princes, don't be so nervous."

Before Xiaofeng could speak, Gu Muchen gave him a look and shook his head slightly, then he heard Xiaolin say, "I'll compare with you."

Hearing this, many people present had worried expressions on their faces, because everyone knew that the Seventh Prince did not practice martial arts, and was really weak and sick. Marrying Marquis Wu An may be because of the reason of co-cultivation. It looks better.

Archery with a bow pays attention to arm strength and internal strength. How could this prince who is scorned as a "trash" be able to shoot? Besides, Nanyang people are good at riding and shooting. The second prince of their country is naturally not bad at shooting. He will definitely lose in the competition.

Although it's just an ordinary match, if they lose, it will affect the face of the country and the dignity of their Hongwu country men, Xiao Lin naturally knows it.

Gu Muchen, who was beside him, injected some real energy into his back with his hands, and before the alcohol dissipated, he first dispelled some of the alcohol in his body, but encouraged him: "Believe in yourself, use the same strength as you did in the competition. It's in good shape."

Xiaolin was a little unconfident in the face of those worried eyes, but after hearing Gu Muchen's encouragement, his heart felt warm, and he nodded confidently to him.

Perhaps seeing that Marquis Wu'an trusted the prince so much, many people had hope in their hearts, and cheered for Xiaolin.

Xiaolin and Na Yeliqi went to the shooting range, and the sword eunuch held his bow in both hands and presented it respectfully to Xiaolin. Yeliqi saw that the prince did not have martial arts, and he would definitely have weak hands when shooting, and he didn't think so. Afterwards, the victory will be invincible, and I just want to take this opportunity to embarrass the Central Plains royal family, at least to regain a little face from the shame of the defeat back then.

In this competition, each person has ten arrows, and the one who hits the most bulls-eyes is the winner. After hearing a sharp sound of breaking wind, that Yeliqi couldn't help but want to show off and shot an arrow unceremoniously. Right in the heart, the tail feathers were still trembling proudly.

This is tantamount to putting pressure on Xiao Lin's mind. He has already heard the cheers from the Nanyang envoys, as well as the expressions of admiration from the officials in his own country.

Once again, he shot out with a loud roar, and this arrow also hit the bull's-eye. This is the arrow shot by Xiaolin. Seeing the feathered arrow on the red heart over there, the officials of the country and those young masters who were watching at the scene cheered happily. Yeliqi couldn't help being a little surprised.

But he felt that the prince was just a fluke, but Xiaolin shot five or six consecutive arrows without fail, Yeliqi realized that he underestimated the prince, and because he was distracted on the way, he missed two shots. Although the arrows did not deviate from the red heart, they all landed on the edge of the thrilling red heart.

Just when Xiaolin was about to shoot the ninth arrow, Yeliqi suddenly spoke to him and said, "I heard that my wizard was arrested by the prince and prince. You said that if I go to ask the emperor to release him now , I don’t know if you will agree to it or not?”

The arrow in Xiaolin's hand happened to be shot, maybe he was a little distracted, and that arrow also fell to the edge of the red heart. Looking over there, the ninth arrow released by Yelici hit the bull's-eye, and he knew that this person deliberately let him Distracted.

Judging from the current results, Xiaolin is in the lead. After hearing that, he said: "According to the laws of this country, killing people pays for life, even if he is a foreigner, he cannot be spared. Even if the second prince wants to protect him, my majesty will not Will do as you wish."

Seeing the two people talking over there, Gu Muchen also noticed that Xiao Lin was not in the right state just now, so he walked over and saw that Xiao Lin's fingers were bleeding when he pulled the string, and seeing that the last arrow seemed to be strenuous stand up.

Gu Muchen went from behind and grabbed the hand pulling the string. He felt that people were trembling while holding the bow, and then realized that Xiaolin's persistence was all due to force, which made him very distressed. He lowered his head and said to the person, "let go Come on, Xiaolin, you've already won."

Feeling the warmth behind her, Xiao Lin's straight back relaxed after hearing this, her arms trembled even more, and she smiled at the person, "Master Hou, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

Gu Muchen looked at him lovingly, kissed him on the temple, and affirmed him: "You are very talented in shooting, and you can't teach it in vain."

While saying this, the last arrow in Xiaolin's hand was shot out by Gu Muchen's force, and when it hit the red heart in the distance, it seemed that it was carrying an invisible air current, and the feather arrows that Xiaolin shot originally Give the shock away.

Yeliqi felt that there was no need for him to shoot that last arrow. When Jiu saw the fierceness of the target next to him, he couldn't help feeling tense. Amidst the cheers of the officials present, the target actually " With a bang, it fell apart.

It seemed to be with some kind of deterrent anger, as if telling those Nanyang people, including the second prince, that this was the end of provoking them.
