[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

Chapter 3 The Omen of the Sunset

With the sound of "咻", the sharp arrow shot out and hit the red heart. After the examiner standing on the other side of the target registered and called out the perfect score, Zhaoyang was completely relieved, and then put down the hand holding the bow and wiped it. sweat.There was also a burst of applause from around, and Lulin rushed over from behind, hugged Zhaoyang, and said excitedly: "Oh my God, Zhaoyang, you are so good! You hit every shot, hundreds of years, you are the first!" equal to that person."

The person Lulin mentioned was a famous general hundreds of years ago, Shi Zhuo. He was famous for his superb swordsmanship and superb archery skills. He also created the archery examination method in Zhaoyang's school.There are 20 arrows in total. Only when the heart is hit can the next arrow be shot, and the target will be further and further away. This not only strictly requires the accuracy of archery, but also tests the mentality and perseverance of the archer.

Except for Shi Zhuo, no one has been able to get full marks, and now Zhaoyang has achieved it.

"Ah, ah, I can't believe it, Zhaoyang, how did you do it, you look so weak."

Zhaoyang smiled, but did not answer.This may be the only benefit of her time travel. She looks like a weak little girl, but her strength is much stronger than that of ordinary adult men, which is why she shoots the arrow so far.

Finally, this year's hard work was not in vain. After this incident, at least she can easily squeeze into the state mansion. If she works hard, she might be able to get the immortal status.

Soon this matter spread throughout the private school, and people kept coming up to congratulate Zhaoyang on the way to the cafeteria. Now, Zhaoyang has become a celebrity with little learning.

"How does it feel to be a celebrity?" Yingli sat in front of Zhaoyang with a meal in her hand.

"No matter what, it can't compare to being named Wen Zhang as soon as you enter school." Zhaoyang took two false taps with his chopsticks and complained, "Do you know what they call me?"

"The first one after Shi Zhuo, Shi Yi?"

"Yeah, don't you think..." Zhaoyang lowered his voice, "This sounds like calling me shit."

"Hahaha" Yingli laughed, and stretched out her finger to poke Zhaoyang's forehead: "No matter what, it's the highest compliment others give you, so just accept it."

Zhaoyang was stunned after being tapped on the forehead, and Yingli's slightly doting expression was deeply imprinted in her eyes.She also fully realized that Yingli's feelings for her had surpassed the feelings for a proper friend, so she lowered her head a little stiffly.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder, and when she looked up, she saw Qingshan sitting beside her: "Congratulations, you have become..."

"Stop, stop, stop" Zhao Yang interrupted his next words in time, "Don't call me by that name."

"Okay, okay, since you don't like me, I'll call you." Qingshan covered her mouth and smiled, "What are your plans for the future? Are you going to enter the government?"

"If there are no accidents, what about you?"

"If there are no accidents, so do I. I always want to find a place to settle down before Liu Guo collapses." Qingshan paused, then turned her head and asked Yingli, "What are you going to do, Yingli?"

"Me? Will go on to college."

"Yes, in the name of Wen Zhang, you must be able to successfully complete your studies and become a state official."

Yingli took a sip of tea and didn't answer.

I made an appointment with Yingli, Lulin and Qingshan to celebrate together in the evening, and Zhaoyang waited at the gate of Shaoxue after class.After waiting for a long time, I didn't find the person I was waiting for, but two people who had never met before came.

"Are you that Shi Yi?" one of them asked.

Zhaoyang cupped his hands towards the two, "May I ask who you two are?"

"This is Taihe, and this is He Su." Taihe briefly introduced to Zhaoyang, and then bowed his hand in return, "I heard that you are the first person to reach the grade of Shi Zhuo in a hundred years. A girl who looks so delicate."

"Could it be that the generals must look rather rough." Zhaoyang replied, "I don't know how the two of you recognized me."

"Eyes." He Su, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "It is said that you have a pair of dark, bright and unforgettable eyes. I saw you today, and it really is."

He Su, who said this, looked straight into Zhaoyang's eyes, which made Zhaoyang's heart shudder, and she turned her face away awkwardly, staggering her gaze.It just so happened that Yingli and Qingshan came to break the weird atmosphere.

After saluting each other, Yingli said, "Lulin told us not to wait for her, Zhaoyang, can we go?"

Zhaoyang nodded, and then turned his head: "If you two have nothing else to do, let us leave first." After speaking, he bowed his hands, and left with Yingli and Qingshan without waiting for an answer.

Qingshan: "Who are these two?"

"I don't know, Taihe and He Su are probably not their real names." Zhaoyang paused, and then said, "But judging by their conversation and clothes, it is the sword worn by Taihe's waist. It should be two Big shot." Such a winter device is not something you can have casually

Yingli pondered for a while, "Before you find out their real identities, it's better not to get in touch with them too much."

"Although I expected that this name would bring me trouble, I didn't expect it to come so soon. Their news is a little too well-informed."

Qingshan patted Zhaoyang on the shoulder and comforted him: "This is Zhicao, the capital of the emperor. It's normal for the news to come soon. Besides, it's not necessarily bad news."

"That's right, maybe I'm thinking too much. After all, none of us know what's going on in the Liu Kingdom that has already begun to collapse." Zhaoyang shook his head, took a deep breath, and decided not to think about it anymore. Circle the arms of Yingli and Qingshan: "Let's go, let's celebrate."

Facts have proved that Zhaoyang did think too much. Here, as soon as Zhaoyang left, Taihe and He Su also left.

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that the one who could draw with me was a little girl. I really didn't go down the mountain in vain today." Taihe laughed twice, and excitedly clenched his waist in order to finally have an opponent who could compete with him. Ground Saber: "If you have the chance, you must compete with her."

"You really don't think about it?" He Su asked again.

"My Royal Highness, you have asked me this question three times. Since King Liu is no longer interested in managing the government, you, the Taifu, should simply persuade him to abdicate voluntarily, and let Qilin quickly find the next king, so that Liu The country will be protected from evil and natural disasters."

"You forgot, I am no longer His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He Su shook his head, "And this is not an easy task. The older Liu Wang is, the more he thinks he is right, and the more he is right. It's hard to change his mind."

Taihe waved his hand, his face was full of disgust of "you are so troublesome": "I really don't know what you are thinking all day long, Liu Guo is going to change, what's the use of calling me a general back?" .”

He Su's face suddenly became serious.

Taihe was stunned for a moment, and his tone was unbelievable, "You...don't mean to imitate Fangguo's Yuexi."

He Su sighed: "This is the worst policy."

"Don't, don't, don't look for me. I'm simple-minded, but I can't bear such a heavy responsibility." That's regicide, not everyone has this awareness.

"I know that you have been living in seclusion on the mountain because you didn't want to lie in the muddy water in the court hall. If it weren't for the excuse of seeing her today, I wouldn't be able to lure you to see me. But I have no choice. I have no choice, help me." He Su lowered his head and solemnly begged.

Taihe quickly stepped forward to help He Su up, "I can't afford this bow from you, I hope you can successfully persuade King Liu to abdicate before this."

Zhaoyang's favorite food is authentic Chinese food, and the dishes made by this inn run by Shanke are very authentic.Speaking of this mountain guest, he can be considered a formidable person.Even though he was in a different place and had a language barrier, he was able to overcome all difficulties in a short period of time and opened one of the best inns in Zhicao.

The so-called mountain guests are those who come from the other side of the mountain, and the other side of the mountain is Zhaoyang's hometown.However, this hometown is not that hometown, and Zhaoyang has no interest in knowing this fellow.

Zhaoyang poured wine for himself, and as soon as he picked it up, Yingli snatched the glass away: "Children can't drink."

"I'm fifteen, and I'll be sixteen in half a year!" Zhaoyang's eyes widened, adding to the age in her heart, she is already an aunt of 35, okay?

"You haven't turned 16 yet." Yingli ignored Zhaoyang's effort to put on a pitiful face, poured out the wine decisively, washed it with boiled warm water, then poured water on it, and stuffed it into Zhaoyang's hand. It really doesn't leave a trace of alcohol.

"It's not fair, the two of them..." In the spirit of sharing weal and woe, Zhaoyang decisively wanted to drag Qingshan and Lulin into trouble.

Unfortunately, Qingshan took a sip of wine and said, "Don't look at me, I turned 16 last year, and I'll be 17 in half a year."

Lulin reached out and took back the wine bottle in front of Zhaoyang: "I'm sorry, Zhaoyang, I'm 16 too."

"That is to say, I'm the youngest here!" Zhaoyang drank the boiled water in his glass angrily, his heart felt like colic, her wine.

"Did you just know? That's right, you never pay attention to these things." Qingshan gave Zhaoyang a bite of green vegetables, and then made up the knife: "Hey, children eat more vegetables."

"..."

After a full meal, Zhaoyang sighed, "Speaking of which, it has been more than two years since we met, how time flies." Then he picked up the glass excitedly, "Come, come, I will replace the wine with water. Let's have a toast. May our friendship last forever, and no matter where we are in the future, we will never forget each other."

"May the friendship last forever"

"Friendship forever"

"Friendship forever"

"Ding" The four cups collided and made a crisp sound. This sound was like a testimony of the promise made by the four young people, sealed and sealed in everyone's memory.Ten years later, when they think about this moment, they don't know whether they still have the same mood as this moment.

Yingli and Zhaoyang lived together, so they went back together. Lulin refused Qingshan's escort to go back alone, saying "your arm is not as strong as mine", and Qingshan also went in a different direction after saying goodbye.

Lulin's home is in Zhicao, so she always lives in her own home, while Qingshan rents a house outside because of a disagreement with her roommate, and only Yingli and Zhaoyang live in a private school.

There was silence on the street, and the two of them walked side by side, surprisingly quiet.

"Zhaoyang" Yingli spoke suddenly.

"Ah?" Zhaoyang reacted immediately, "You are not angry anymore."

"Zhaoyang" Yingli stopped and turned to face Zhaoyang with a very serious expression, "I like you, so don't match Lulin and me any more."

Zhaoyang was stunned by this sudden confession, she didn't expect Yingli to say it like this, leaving her defenseless.In two years, Yingli seems to have changed a lot.

"I..." Zhaoyang opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

"I know that you only regard me as a friend and have always understood, but this has nothing to do with my liking you."

"But……"

"I know that Lulin has a crush on me, and I will find time to make it clear to her that I don't like her, and I just treat her as a friend." Yingli hugged Zhaoyang into her arms, "Zhaoyang, I want to be nice to her." Hello, so don't reject me."

Not far away, Lulin looked at the two people who were embracing each other, and finally couldn't hold back the tears, tightly clutching Yingli's coat in his hand, biting his lips to keep silent, the sentence of dislike was completely shattered all her hopes.

It seems... all the misfortunes started today.
