121. Loyal dog

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?" Wu Yue was frightened, and hurriedly dragged Yan Qi over and asked urgently.

"Oh, it's okay," Yan Qi's face was expressionless for ten thousand years, "The Arrow God is really powerful." ”

"Yes!" Wu Yue thought that Yan Qi was also shocked by this magic skill, and immediately put down his heart and smiled, "I used to hear people say how good his archery skills were, I didn't believe it at first, but now I can see it, I have to be convinced!" Speaking of this, he suddenly received a little joy, and sighed softly, "Alas, I shouldn't have appreciated this person so much, if it weren't for him, Uncle Twelve wouldn't have ...... However, as a martial artist, he should have a clear reason, strong is strong, winning is winning, one yard is one yard, his strength is there, and he should indeed be respected and loved. ”

"What's wrong with your twelfth uncle, what does it have to do with the Arrow God?" Fourth Young Master Yan heard it at the tip of his ear next to him, and hurriedly came over and asked.

Wu Yue hesitated for a moment, and Fang said in a low voice: "Uncle Twelve made a lot of achievements in the army in the early years, at that time, he was as famous as the sky in the sky, and then somehow he had a conflict with the arrow god, and the two agreed to compete with the arrow to determine the winner, if the arrow god lost, he would never touch the arrow again for the rest of his life, and if the twelfth uncle lost...... If you resign from your official position, you will not be allowed to go out of office for the rest of your life......"

The results speak for themselves.

A young man who is in the best years of his life, who is just showing his ambitions, and who is about to reach the peak and cast glory, can no longer be an official and a soldier, cannot make meritorious achievements, cannot gallop on the battlefield, cannot show his talents, and can no longer prove himself - what a cruel bet this is.

Everyone was silent for a while, although they were so curious about what happened to Wu Changge and that arrow god to get married, but this kind of thing was not easy to ask after all, so they had to force themselves not to mention it.

The lake is in chaos at the moment - whether Qin Zhiyu's mistake is intentional or not, it is enough to be suspected of "intending to kill the king", and the emperor's guards have already rushed up to tie her up, and carried her to the dragon boat in a noisy to wait for the fate.

Everyone is paying close attention to the development of the situation, and it is really embarrassing to kill a little girl who is only eleven or twelve years old for this big festival.

Qiao Lezi, as the prefect of Kyoto, was also rowed over by a light and swift boat and received the emperor's dragon boat to deal with the incident, and the rest of the people talked in a low voice, Yan Qi stood in front of the boat railing, looking at the majestic and glorious luxury dragon boat from a distance.

"Do you know that person?" Young Master Yan Jiu's voice sounded slowly in his ears.

If there is anyone in this world who knows his sister best, it is only him, the biological brother who grew up with him.

"I don't know. Yan Qidao's gaze was a little faint and distant, so far away that it didn't even just pass through distance and time, "I just accidentally remembered the old man." ”

Old friend.

His sister is only twelve years old, and she rarely even went out of the mansion before entering the Splendid Academy, and her circle of friends is none other than Wu Yue, Lu Rong and Cui Xi.

Where did the deceased come from?

"Xiao Qi," Wu Yue leaned over and tilted his head and smiled at Yan Qi, "Let me ask you, do you think that compared with the arrow god, where can your archery skills reach him?"

"Probably to the knee. "Yan Qidao.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Of course, if he's tall, then to the foot and neck. Yan Qi added.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's enough. ”

It wasn't until nightfall that lanterns lit all the boats on the lake and river, and the news came out on the dragon boat: the emperor pardoned Qin Zhiyu's "unintentional offense to Tianyan", and even gave a great deal of grace to the heavens, allowing the current arrow god to personally send her out of the dragon boat and walk all the way to the deck.

All the people straightened their necks and opened their eyes wide, hoping to see the true face of the arrow god, but the people on the shore were too far away from the dragon boat in the center of the lake, and the sky was so dark that they couldn't see anything clearly; some of the officials and officials on the boat in the middle of the lake had seen the arrow god, and those who had not seen it were also looking at it with their necks stretched, but there were too many guards on the deck of the dragon boat that they couldn't see the people inside.

The night wind blew the lake waves, and the lake waves pushed the painting boat, and inadvertently, the boat where Yan Qi was located changed its angle, and it happened that her eyes passed through the gap in the human wall on the dragon boat and saw the person.

Leaning on the carved window to fold the begonia, it is not enough to wet the rain.

It turned out to be him.

The result of a happy event makes the festival even more enjoyable, as the storm calms down, and fireworks go off, illuminating the shores of the lake and decorating the world. The emperor returned to the palace, and the people who had sent the boss away could finally enjoy themselves without any pressure - although the day was over, the festival was far from over, and for those who were looking forward to indulging in wine and singing and revelry, the real joy had just begun!

Some of the more reserved officials are not too indulgent, after the emperor retreated, he followed back to his own home, and the fun-loving officials and dependents still stayed on the lake, lit the lanterns and spread out the feast, blew the sheng flute and danced, and the boats of the ordinary people were also allowed to go down to the lake.

"In the end, it didn't look like a challenge to the god of arrows. Wu Yue said regretfully.

This depiction boat is slowly rowing towards the shore of the lake, five, six, seven plus Yan Jiu Young Master, the four of them are still young, and their parents are not allowed to play crazy outside all night, so they have to go back to their respective homes, Yan Dayan, Sanyan and the fourth brother ran away as soon as they came ashore, and the Cui family also boarded the car and got on the horse, saying goodbye to everyone and leaving.

After Wu Yue and Lu Lotus were picked up by their families respectively, Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu waited with Yizhi in the place where their carriage was parked, while the others slowly paddled back on the lake.

The sister and brother were slowly enjoying the night view, when they heard someone on a boat near the shore shouting: "Yan Xiaopang! Come and play with us!"

Yan Qi waved his hand: "You have to go home, you guys have fun." ”

"It's only this time, what kind of home are you going back to!" The voice had already moved quickly from far to near, seeing that Yuan Chang had changed his clothes, and fell all the way to Yan Qi, "Let's go, go to the lake with us! Didn't you say okay if you won the game yesterday? When you win the dragon boat today, you will be invited to drink, and you don't have to go to the tavern, my brother-in-law borrowed a painting boat for me, let's go to the boat to play, there are many delicious foods, all of them are reserved for you, let's go!"

"Leave it until the day after tomorrow when I go to the academy you give it to me, I have to go home, otherwise my grandmother will say it." "Yan Qidao.

Yuan Chang: "......" is always the most important thing about food.

"It's really boring, you Yan Xiaopang," Yuan Chang felt disappointed, "If you don't go, I'll eat all the delicious food left for you!"

"What hatred and what resentment. ”

"So are you going or not?!"

"Still not going. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hmph, don't forget it. After Yuan Chang finished speaking, he didn't leave, he stared at Yan Qi fiercely, and suddenly heard someone on the lake shouting towards him: "Yuan Chang, what are you doing?!I've been looking for you for a long time!"

When he looked closer, he saw that it was Qin Zhiyu, and after glancing at Yuan Chang, who was full of impatience, he turned his gaze on Yan Qi's face: "Huh, why are you again?!"

Howoldareyou。 (How always you.) οΌ‰

"Yuan Chang, what are you doing?!Why did you avoid me and come to her!" Qin Zhiyu pulled Yuan Chang's arm and asked.

"Who am I looking for to care about your!" Yuan Chang shook off Qin Zhiyu's hand, and the impatience on his face became even stronger, "Don't keep following me!"

"Why is it none of my business?!The queen asked you to play with me!" Qin Zhiyu said angrily.

"I didn't promise!" Yuan Chang also said angrily.

"Do you dare to listen to Niangniang's words?!" Qin Zhiyu said.

"I don't listen to your!" Yuan Chang was very irritable.

"Is it because of her!?" Qin Zhiyu brushed the ground with his hand and pointed at Yan Qi, "Who is she who makes you always rush to post over like this?!"

Yuan Chang stretched out his hand and covered Qin Zhiyu's mouth, gritted his teeth with a little shame and said, "I warn you Qin Zhiyu - don't talk nonsense to me! Otherwise, you will know my temperament!"

Qin Zhiyu rolled his eyes, glanced at Yuan Chang's face a few times, and then at Yan Qi's face a few times, pouted and laughed, but said to Yan Qi: "I watched your match with the Yafeng Comprehensive Martial Arts Team, it seems that your archery skills are really good, after a few rounds, it will be Jinxiu against Lanting, it just so happens that I was also selected into the ultimate team of Lanting, you and I will always have a day against each other, instead of waiting until that day, it is better to let me learn your arrow kung fu today, how about it?"

"I didn't bring an arrow today. "Yan Qidao.

"Qin Zhiyu, are you finished!?" Yuan Chang roared.

Qin Zhiyu glanced at him: "This is a matter between our women, you men don't get involved." Since she dares to join the comprehensive armed forces team, she should have the courage to accept the challenge of others! Otherwise, aren't you afraid that if I tell you about this, everyone will look down on her?"

"You are a martial arts practitioner to challenge her and a martial arts practitioner, what kind of dignified is this?!" Yuan Chang said angrily.

"I don't need internal strength!" Qin Zhiyu said, ignoring Yuan Chang anymore as he spoke, just staring at Yan Qi, "How about it, do you dare to compete with me?!"

"Yan Xiaopang, don't pay attention to her!" Yuan Chang shouted.

"Your surname is Yan?" Qin Zhiyu looked Yan Qi up and down, "Who are you Yan Zike?"

"My uncle. "Yan Qidao.

"Is it really good for him to have broken sleeves?" Qin Zhiyu asked.

β€œοΌˆ-_-|||)……”

"Just now on the boat, I saw that the emperor rewarded him with a pair of goldfish, it was actually a vermilion purple robe, it is said that there are only four pairs of this kind of fish in my dynasty, all of which are raised in the emperor's goldfish pond, and even Concubine Min didn't give it to the emperor. Qin Zhiyu continued to gossip.

"That's what he asked my brother-in-law for!" Yuan Chang snorted.

"Really?!He's so bold!" Qin Zhiyu was surprised.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Because my brother-in-law lost to him in a gambling boat. ”

Yan Qi: "......"

"He even dares to win for the emperor?!" Qin Zhiyu was even more surprised.

"What's that, willing to gamble and lose. Yuan Chang didn't take his brother-in-law's loss of face seriously.

"So are you willing to compete with me for arrows?!" Qin Zhiyu asked Xiang Yanqi.

That's how the bear child's thinking is broken.

"I don't think much of it today. "Yan Qidao.

"Then when do you want to compare?" Qin Zhiyu frowned and asked.

"If Jinxiu loses in the all-round martial arts match with Lanting, I will compete with you. "Yan Qidao.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Qin Zhiyu got Yan Qi done, turned his head and said to Yuan Chang, "I saw that the emperor dialed a painting boat for you, you take me to play!"

"Our boat is full of men, not women!" Yuan Chang said with a cold face.

"Who are you fooling!?I heard you call her on the boat just now!" Qin Zhiyu pointed at Yan Qi in annoyance.

"She's just like a man!" Yuan Chang also said angrily.

"......" Hey. So I've always been a fat man?

Yan Qi was a headache by the quarrel between these two people, fortunately, the boat that the rest of the Yan family was on had already docked, except for Young Master Yan Jiu and Young Master Yan Shi, the other boys had already run out, and the young ladies were still honest, hugging the old lady and the two wives to get into the car one after another, and go home.

Yan Qi sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, the stars outside the car window were like rain, flowers and thousands of trees were gradually moving away in his ears, and a huge torrent of darkness and silence swept towards his body, washing away all the temperature and sound.

This is how she felt when she died in the previous life.

That's really, it's cold and painful.

And cold and painful, is her strong heart.

The window of the carriage was suddenly knocked on from outside, the darkness and cold suddenly retreated, and the fireworks and the joy of the city returned to the world. Yan Qi opened his eyes and looked out, and saw Yuan Chang's face sticking to the glass, and when he opened the window sash, he stretched out a hand, "Take it." Stuffed something in her hand, and then just squeezed his eyes and smiled at her.

It is a small and delicate horn millet, which has cooled and the fragrance is still there.

"My brother-in-law's imperial chef on the dragon boat made it freshly on the lake, and I tasted good, so I ...... Ahem, just hid one. Yuan Chang's eyes uncomfortably glanced at Young Master Yan Jiu who was sitting opposite Yan Qi, who was holding his hands and drooping his eyelids, looking like an old monk meditating in a state of concentration.

"Thank you. Yan Qi said, sniffing under his nose, "It's so fragrant." ”

Yuan Chang raised the corners of his mouth, and the stars fell like rain in his dark eyes.

The carriage was fast and bumpy, Yuan Chang didn't know how to pick up the outside of the carriage, his body was as steady as Romeo standing on the terrace outside Juliet's window, his young face was distinct, and there was the air and sunlight of the clear mountain and the lake on it.

It's bright and warm, and life is alive.

"I'm leaving!" Yuan Chang waved his hand casually, turned around and disappeared.

"Huh. "Young Master Yan Jiu finished meditating.

"What. Yan Qi began to peel the zongzi.

"Is this called a 'loyal dog'?" Young Master Yan Jiu asked slowly.

"You know too much. ”

……

When the women returned home, they were already sleepy, after all, it took their bodies and energy to join in the fun, so they didn't gather together to sit in one place anymore, and after asking Mrs. Yan for peace, they went back to their respective courtyards - Mrs. Yan was still playing outside, after all, they were also boys.

Yan Qi returned to his yard and saw that it was quiet, and the people who stayed behind all ran to the big kitchen to receive the zongzi in the house, and there was no open fire, it was dark everywhere, only the study was lit with a lamp, Yan Qi walked into the room, and turned east into the study.

I saw that the bellflower-style glass lamp on the big bookcase near her window was burning with warm yellow light, and a crystal glass fish tank was placed there under the light and shadow.
