Offer a tripod

Yuan Jing had heard something about them before. Qu Li advocated monogamy. These two princes are brothers of the same mother, but their temperaments are quite different.The second prince, Chi Xiao, is only eighteen years old. Since he was a boy, he has gone out with the army whenever there is a war. He has an arrogant and domineering personality, but his martial arts skills are not bad. It is said that the first battle between Dayan and Qu Li was this Prince Chi Xiao. Leading the fight against the enemy.Qu Li is a martial artist. Compared with such a dazzling person, the humble and elegant eldest prince Ming Ye seems a bit worthless.

Quli sent him here, which shows the sincerity of the peace talks.Everyone looked sideways, Chu Yu was sitting close, Yuan Jing turned his head for a while and saw him looking lazy and thinking about himself.His silhouette is really good-looking, with firm lines and a high bridge of nose. The youthfulness of the previous two years has faded away, and his gestures and gestures reveal the demeanor of an adult man.Kneeling next to him was a maid serving wine, secretly looking at him expectantly.

Only Cao Ruyi called out in a low voice: "Prince." Yuan Jing said "ah", only to realize that the wine glass he was holding was tilted, and the wine was all spilled on his body, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he hurriedly wiped it.From the corner of his eye, he seemed to see Chu Yu glanced over here, and his mood immediately became worse.

After the horn drum sounded, only the sound of boots stomping on the ground was heard, and two well-dressed men walked into the hall.They wore scarlet envoy robes woven with Suzaku feathers, with narrow sleeves and waists, and the golden tassels on the shoulders were shining brightly, and at a glance, they looked like two groups of surging fire.As far as appearance is concerned, the two are very similar, but after getting closer, everyone can see the difference between them.

The second prince, Chi Xiao, had sharp brows and eagle eyes, majestic and majestic, with cinnabar dots painted between his brows, and a cloud of hostility rushed towards his face. Yuan Jing felt a little uncomfortable when he gave him a sideways glance.Standing next to him is the eldest prince Ming Ye. His complexion is much fairer than that of his younger brother, and his eyes are clear and clear. Although he is also dressed in red, his brows are full of fire, but he has no domineering air. He is like a red plum blooming alone in the snow. , Pure and elegant, self-styled.

They folded their hands on their shoulders and said in unison: "See Emperor Dayan."

Chi Xiao's voice was loud, and the two of them spoke at the same time, but only his voice was heard.He beckoned, and the person holding the wine jar behind him bowed and approached, Chi Xiao said in a deep voice: "The minister of the defeated country, respect the Emperor Dayan."

After saying that, raise your head and pour.I saw that he didn't leak a single drop of wine, but after a moment, he drank it up, his expression did not change when he put down the wine jar, and he glanced at the people around him, with a slightly provocative expression on his face.There was no sound in the hall for a while, there are many good drinkers here, but no one can drink eight liters in one go.There was a small and exquisite golden cup on the imperial case, and the fine wine had been poured into the cup. Originally, Emperor Yan wanted to bring it to honor the envoy, but now he only took one look at it, and asked someone to take it down. He wrote lightly: "Two Take your seat, prince."

After this incident, the generals who had been complacent and wanted to make fun of them before lost their arrogance.The Minister of Rites came forward to be courteous, and the prince of Mingye responded in a gentle voice. Chi Xiao obviously didn't like these red tapes, and his face showed a little impatience.Yuan Jing thought to himself, this person is a bit like the elder brother.I couldn't help but glanced to the side, but I saw Chu Yu lowered his head, as if whispering something to the maidservant beside him, with an intimate posture, as if there was no one else around.

All of a sudden, his anger surged up, and his angry face was puffed up, and he said bitterly: No, it's even worse, big brother!

Before the banquet, Emperor Yan made it clear that he would not care about state affairs tonight, but only talk about having fun and drinking.It's a pity that Yuan Xi sat across from Chi Xiao, and saw him staring at her every time, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if looking at a weak and helpless prey, which made him terrified and unable to enjoy himself at all.Cao Ruyi is a warrior, so she is even more sensitive about this. Ever since the prince took his seat, she has never left her eyes on the prince, and she is full of murderous intent, as if she is planning something.But above the Golden Palace, it is expected that the other party will not dare to be too arrogant, just be careful after the banquet is over.

I didn't want Chi Xiao to be impatient. Halfway through the banquet, he got up and said: "I have been all the way to Beijing, and when I heard people talking about His Highness the Crown Prince, they all praised him for his outstanding martial arts and extraordinary skills. I am bold, and I would like to ask the Crown Prince for some advice."

The cheers stopped, Ming Ye gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, Chi Xiao ignored him, and looked at the seat with burning eyes.

Yuan Jing was holding a piece of pastry in his hand, and the corner of his mouth was covered with icing sugar when he ate it. When he heard the words "excellent martial arts and extraordinary skills", he didn't think about himself at all, and didn't react until everyone looked at him. come over.I was dumbfounded and thought: Where did you hear the rumors?

Cao Ruyi was eager to protect the lord, and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, how can the prince with a thousand gold body do such a dangerous act of wielding swords and swords? I am willing to use my body instead to ask the prince for advice."

Chi Xiao glanced at him, pointed to a wrestler beside him and said, "In this case, you should fight against my subordinates."

The contempt was too obvious, Emperor Yan said displeased: "Prince, what do you mean?"

Chi Xiao shook off Ming Ye and took his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, nobles should not be used cheaply. Although Quli is a small country, I am still a prince anyway. I should not be reduced to competing with the guards. Bi, let me compare with your prince." With his jaw raised, he glanced at Yuan Jing: "But if His Highness the Crown Prince thinks of himself as delicate, I will never force others to do anything against him."

Although there is room for words, the arrogance of the posture has reached the extreme.Since he entered the palace, he has scorned the generals, and now he wants to humiliate the royal family. If he does not agree, the whole court will be disgraced.Today, Yuan Xi told the future that he was ill, and Yuan Jing didn't even have anyone to help him. Seeing Emperor Yan sweeping over gloomyly, he was full of panic.After a while, he said majesticly: "Since that's the case, prince, you should end up competing with Prince Chixiao."

Yuan Jing's eyes darkened, wishing he could just faint.Most of the important officials in the court knew the crown prince's skills, and after hearing this oral order, they almost jumped up without haste.Yuan Jing glanced to the side, saw that Chu Yu was only talking to the maidservants, and didn't care about the movement here, his eyes were red with hatred, he gritted his teeth, got up and said, "Yes, my son, go down and change clothes first."

Cao Ruyi helped him walk to the side hall. There was no one there, and the hall was dark. He comforted him all the way, saying that after all, he was in front of the imperial court, and that Chi Xiao didn't dare to be serious with him. He gestured twice, The emperor will make this matter go away.Yuan Jing thought sadly, do you believe this?He waved his hands dejectedly, and only asked him to get some light clothes.

When sitting alone in the dark, my mind went blank, and I didn't know how to deal with the next thing.Looking down at his palm, he suddenly remembered the days when Chu Yu taught him Kung Fu by hand.At that time, I was often too tired, and after a few practice sessions, I used to play tricks on others and refused to practice. Chu Yu was strict with him in other matters, but this matter was all up to him. At that time, he said: "I will protect you." You, you don't need to bother with theology."

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Yuan Jing felt sore in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Liar."

Returning to the main hall disheartened, Chi Xiao had been waiting for a long time.Seeing him, he nodded slightly, Yuan Jing was not in the mood to care about his arrogance, and only listened to Emperor Yan's words: "This time power is for fun, it's just like fists and feet, not using weapons, just point as far as you can."

Chi Xiao said in the middle of his mouth: "I obey." He saw his four fingers folded together, his joints flexed tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands protruding, his shape was like an eagle's sharp claws.Yuan Jing was unprepared, he was approached by those pale amber eyes, Yuan Jing couldn't move at once, he just felt as if he was being targeted by some poisonous snake.Chi Xiao made a sudden attack and went straight for his arm. If he succeeds this time, his tendons and bones will be broken, life would be worse than death.But as soon as his fingers touched his shoulder, there was a dull pain in the Xiaohai point of his elbow, which forced him to retreat.Looking down, I saw a little water stain on the fabric of the sore spot.

Yuan Jing seized the opportunity, turned around and ran away.Just now when Prince Chi Xiao approached him, he clearly saw the killing intent in the opponent's eyes, this person was not here to compete, but to take his life.Chi Xiao showed his vicious face, and quickly chased after him, this time the target was his calf.However, just like last time, as soon as the fingers touched him, there was a pain in the big acupoint on his body, and he had to stop halfway, so it was a disappointment.

After a few times, Yuan Jing also felt that something was wrong, so he looked back bravely, and saw that Prince Chi Xiao was holding his right hand with a gloomy expression. Yuan Jing was close, and saw that the back of his hand was slightly swollen.He subconsciously looked in Chu Yu's direction, only to see that he was holding a thin piece of ice in his hand, and glanced at him lazily.There wasn't much warmth in his eyes, but when Yuan Jing was looked at by him, he suddenly felt that he had something to rely on, and he suddenly felt confident.

Recalling the body moves he taught himself before, he rushed forward kicking and beating all the way. Wherever his fist hit, the thin ice flakes would fly there. .Chi Xiao was one against two, and although he was still making moves to block, he was a bit overwhelmed.He could tell that the prince in front of him was not capable, and a light pat was enough to make him kneel down and beg for mercy.This time there is an expert at the side, all previous thoughts have been lost, just focus on dealing with the side, look for opportunities to use strength to force the prince down.

Calculating together, retreating from time to time, his movements were not as aggressive as before, Yuan Jing made a few empty moves under his dexterous movement.Chu Yu guessed what he was thinking, and stood still for a while, and when he looked around suspiciously, he suddenly shot and hit the crook of his leg.Hearing a bang, Chi Xiao landed on one knee, kneeling in front of Yuan Jing.

There was a moment of silence above the main hall, and after a while, Emperor Yan seemed to be proud to say: "Prince, Prince Chixiao has already surrendered, so hurry up and help him up." Yuan Jing glanced to the side gratefully, but Chu Yu turned a blind eye to him , I picked up a piece of ice and threw it into the wine.

Chi Xiao's face was extremely ugly, his molars were clenched, and he suddenly said: "The prince is extremely skilled, and there are many capable people around him. This time, I am willing to bow down. I offer you a cup, and please give me a thin noodle."

The caller came, and served two jars of good wine, and when the wine was sealed, the fragrance overflowed.Yuan Jing's drinking capacity was worse than his kung fu, and when he saw this scene, he complained in his heart, and looked at Chu Yu pitifully.Although Chu Yu had no expression on his face, his heart had already softened. He just waited for him to show his kindness again, and he would block everything for him.

Prince Mingye, who had been sitting quietly by the side, suddenly stood up: "A Xiao, His Royal Highness is still young, how can he mess around like you, sit back!"

Chi Xiao was full of impatience, and looked back at him. Prince Mingye's eyes were firm, and he obviously had a gentle and refined demeanor, but at this moment he was awe-inspiring: "Sit back!" Chi Xiao was silent for a moment, and returned to him with a dark face. around.

Ming Ye smiled apologetically at Yuan Jing, and said in a warm voice, "My brother lost to the crown prince, and even though he lost, it is an honor. I will toast the crown prince for him." Holding the jade cup on the table, he respectfully drinks from a distance.Yuan Jing had an inexplicable fondness for him, so he quickly picked up his own and drank with him.

But the prime minister suddenly said: "I heard that the prince Mingye has a wonderful flute song, why don't you play it in front of the emperor, thinking that the emperor will have fun."

Chi Xiao was furious: "You are deceiving people too much, you can't use my brother as a lowly musician!"

Ming Ye sat him down and said with a smile: "I often heard that Dayan is a country of etiquette, and there are not many people who are good at folk art. Before I came, I wanted to learn from the musicians. Today I will make a fool of myself. "

The prime minister's proposal seemed to be an opportunity to retaliate, but when the gentle and lingering sound of the flute sounded, the emotions such as ridicule and hostility disappeared.

It seemed as if a long clear river appeared in front of my eyes. It was so clear and quiet that neither the golden sun nor the singing kingfishers could stop it from going away.A leaf falls on the surface of the water and is blown by the wind. When it floats far away, you will see a vast grassland, the end of which meets the sky. It seems that there is a desolate and distant singing voice. When you want to find it, you can’t hear it again.

Yuan Jing was in it, but he felt that he had never felt such a sense of relaxation. He stepped on this grassland in a trance, and there was no one around. He jumped into the long grass like a small animal, and beat several times Rolling away, looking at the sky with the pillow arm, whistling a few times, thinking: I wish I could stay here forever.It's just that although this place is good, it would be a bit lonely to live for a long time.

He thought together, and wrote one name after another in the palm of his hand, so that they and this comfortable place of water and mountains and green mountains would accompany him forever and ever.

After the sound of the flute, everyone's faces were in a trance, because they returned to the world from the fairyland.All kinds of talents just now are like a dream.Emperor Yan smiled gently: "There are three thousand musicians in my palace, none of which is as good as the prince's piece. This time I am sincerely convinced, and the prince please take a seat."

Make people withdraw the banquet and change the dishes, and invite him to the top.Ming Ye said: "Music is just a thing for expressing affection. There are differences in depth of affection, but there is no distinction between high and low. The emperor praised it." Sitting at the top without being humble or arrogant, it was as quiet as when it came here. of a plum blossom.

Perhaps it was because Yuan Jing won Prince Chixiao at the banquet and won some face for Dayan. Emperor Yan treated him with a little bit of sympathy, and when the banquet was about to end, he said: "You are tired today. There is no need to come to say hello, just take a good rest in the mansion."

Yuan Jing had been scolded a lot by him, and he almost couldn't believe his ears when he heard this concern.

After the banquet, he waited outside the hall. He thought it over, no matter what, he would make peace with Chu Yu, even if Chu Yu disagreed.However, Prince Chi Xiao was the first to come out. When he saw him, his expression changed, and he walked up to him quickly: "His Royal Highness, thank you for your enlightenment today."

When Yuan Jing saw him, his hairs stood on end, and he stammered: "You are welcome, you are welcome."

Chi Xiao turned his arm slightly, and suddenly a few Niuhao needles shot out from the bracelet, slender and small, the same color as the moonlight.Yuan Jing didn't notice, only heard Cao Ruyi scream, and was pushed back immediately.But seeing the darkness above his head, he raised his head and saw Chu Yu's back.

Chu Yu was tall, a full head taller than Chi Xiao, and he completely blocked Yuan Jing by standing like this. He looked at Chi Xiao and said in a deep voice, "It's easy to say."

Ming Ye has already rushed over, and seeing their swords and swords being tense, he said calmly: "A Xiao, I'm a little tired, please help me go back first."

Chi Xiao turned a deaf ear, and looked at Chu Yu viciously: "Who is Chu Ao, the general of Shenwu?"

Chu Yu said: "My father."

Chi Xiao looked at him coldly: "I guess so." He jumped down the jade steps and left. Ming Ye bowed to them and chased him away.After their figures disappeared, Chu Yu turned his head, and without waiting for Yuan Jing to speak, he left in front of him indifferently.

Yuan Jing was full of affection, and there was only one Cao Ruyi who followed him steadfastly. Seeing that everyone had left, he hurriedly said, "Prince, are you not injured?"

Yuan Jing was in a daze for a long time before looking at him: "What's the injury?"

Cao Ruyi looked nervous: "Just now I saw that barbarian prince use a concealed weapon on you!"
