Yan Qi slept very well this night, and the next morning he was still lazy in bed for a while before getting up, although it was Sunday, he still had to go out to exercise before dawn, Xiao Chen arrived earlier than her as always, and stood in the old place and looked at her fixedly.

"Good morning. Yes, I'm leaving Beijing. I haven't figured out where I'm going yet. I'll be back in a few years. That's right, I'm in the same class as the Arrow God, but I don't want to have anything to do with him. If you want to practice to the level you saw yesterday, of course, there is no problem, the way to do this is to be diligent and thoughtful. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Yan Qi greeted.

Xiao Chen: "...... Nope. ”

"Let's go, run. ”

After running, they still went to the Xiao Mansion shooting range to practice archery, but when the two jumped into the courtyard wall from the wall, they found that Xiao Tianhang, Lord Xiao, was waiting there with his hands in his hands.

"Lord Xiao, morning. Yan Qi said hello.

The two of them had been practicing arrows in the Xiao family for so long, and it was impossible to say that Xiao Tianhang didn't know anything about it, so Yan Qi and Xiao Chen were not surprised, and they came close to salute, but Xiao Tianhang pushed his son aside: "I have something to say to An An." ”

After watching Xiao Chen walk to the distant target path to practice arrows by himself, Xiao Tianhang looked at Yan Qi: "Who have you offended?"

"If it's that rumor, don't worry, it's impossible to make waves in this circle. "Yan Qidao.

"It's true that making waves won't make waves," Xiao Tianhang said in a deep voice, "This kind of method is mostly seen in the common people who don't read much, or the women in the back house who are superstitious about gods and ghosts, and the circle of officials and relatives in Beijing are all from the official academy, so don't say that such rumors will not be transmitted, and no one will believe them, but after all, it will damage your reputation, and you will know that you have offended people when you think about it, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not breed other gossip." Do you know the person behind you?"

"I'm not sure," Yan Qidao said, "but I don't want to pursue it for the time being." ”

Xiao Tianhang stared at Yan Qi for a while, and said, "If there is no one in the family to support you, you can come to me, if you are worried about someone talking behind your back, I ...... Recognize you as a righteous daughter. ”

A sound of "collapse" came from the target road, Yan Qi turned his head and said to Xiao Chen: "Only the practice without distractions can be effective, and you are not allowed to eavesdrop on the adults." ”

Xiao Chen: "......" can be heard by you if you shoot a nine ring.

Xiao Tianhang glanced at his son, a trace of complicated thoughts flashed in his eyes, and he turned his words away: "Tu Mi is really your senior brother?"

"It used to be," Yan Qi still replied in the same way, "I don't want to have anything to do with it now." ”

Xiao Tianhang nodded, hesitated slightly, and finally slowly stretched out his hand, gently stroked the top of Yan Qi's head, and said in a low voice: "An An, you are a smart child, you know what you want, and you are firm in it, even I admire this." I used to blame me, wishful thinking that it was good for you, but ignoring your feelings, hoping that you could ...... Forgive me. ”

"It's serious," Yan Qi waved his hand, "You are really good to me, I know very well." ”

Xiao Tianhang smiled, withdrew his hand, and looked at Yan Qi: "If you don't dislike me, you can treat me as a friend who forgets the New Year, needs help, or has nothing to do, or needs someone to share worries and share some happy things, you can come to me at home, I will sweep the floor and cook tea here." ”

"Good. Yan Qi nodded, "The good thing is that we finally don't have to jump over the wall from now on." ”

Xiao Tianhang laughed: "People's words are terrifying, whether you should avoid it or avoid it, I can cover for you." ”

"Well, that seems to be misleading...... Then I'm going to practice archery, you go and get some sleep, it's not easy to wait here so early to catch us. ”

Seeing Xiao Tianhang leave, Yan Qi stood beside Xiao Chen with a bow and arrow: "Did you do something wrong just now? When practicing archery, even if the sky around you collapses, it has nothing to do with you, otherwise the environment affects emotions, emotions affect technology, although if the sky really falls, it is important to escape, but when practicing archery, you must have such concentration." ”

"I was wrong. Xiao Chen said.

"If you are wrong, you will be punished," Yan Qi put down the bow and arrow in his hand, "In fact, there is also a corresponding training method for emotional instability. As he spoke, he walked to the other end of the target path, stopped a hundred steps away, turned around and looked at Xiao Chen, "See the snowball in my hand? it is your target, and I will not stand still, what you want to shoot is a moving target, give you the opportunity to shoot ten arrows, shoot more than seven times to pass the level, if you can't pass the level, you will be punished to sing a song, let's start." ”

"...... "What kind of punishment is this?" Knowing that he is not emotionally stable at the moment, but he still has to use himself as a target frame, if he loses his energy a little, she is likely to be injured by his arrows, which is simply the opposite way to force him into a desperate situation, forcing him to concentrate, she just believes that he will not miss?

Seeing Yan Qi holding a walnut-sized snowball in his hand and doing strange movements there, Xiao Chen still felt a little sweaty on his forehead, it was not a problem for him to shoot the target, the walnut-sized target was not a difficult task for him, it would not bother him if someone else held it, and he would not feel uncertain about doing it at another time, but it was really difficult for him to concentrate today......

Yan Qi's eighth set of children's radio gymnastics was almost in the last section, and Xiao Chen completed the ten arrows, and the seven arrows barely passed.

"Do you know why Tu Mi is called the God of Arrows?" Yan Qi asked.

Xiao Chen shook his head and stared at her firmly.

"Because God has no passions and desires, when He uses arrows, all people, all things, and all thoughts are dead in His eyes. Yan Qi turned his gaze away and fell towards the sky that had not yet lit up, "It's not so much that he is an arrow god, but that he is called an arrow demon." The rock will not be shaken by the wind, and he will never be affected by any emotion in the hand that holds the bow. And emotion is the most important factor affecting archery skills, and if such a factor is zero with him, who can win him?"

"You mean, if you want to reach the height of his, you have to abandon the seven emotions and six desires?" Xiao Chen looked at Yan Qi.

"It depends on whether you want to be a god or a demon. "Yan Qidao.

"I don't want to. Xiao Chen said.

"Don't pursue the highest archery skills?" Yan Qi asked.

"If the price of invincibility is ruthlessness, I'd rather not. Xiao Chen said.

"That's a good point, Lord Xiao hugs his grandson. "Yan Qidao.

“……”

Yan Qi bought fragrant scallion pancakes and hot mutton millet porridge from outside, the mutton porridge was served in a bamboo tube, came back and poured it into the bowl, carried it into the upper room of the second courtyard, set it on the table in the hall, and woke up the service through the door: "Mr. Yan Jiu, after breakfast, you can get up and eat." ”

A string of ellipses came out of the crack in the door, and there was a slow sound of the bed board inside, and it took a while for the door to open, and Young Master Yan Jiu floated out of it with his shoes and a robe in his hand, and gave his sister a slap in the eye, and sat down at the table slowly.

"Are you sure that you can keep up with the progress of your classmates when you come back from a few years of sabbatical?" After eating, Yan Qi watched her brother slowly wipe his mouth with a handkerchief.

"I'm the progress. Young Master Yan Jiu said lightly.

"......" Meow's domineering is no one.

"Do you really want to take Cui Xi with you?" Young Master Yan Jiu glanced at his sister.

"It's good for him to go out for a walk. Yan Qidao, "This is called tourism therapy. ”

"If you really get sick on the road, what are you going to do?" asked Young Master Yan Jiu.

"That's right, go back and ask him to sign a life and death certificate for me. ”

“……”

"I think if he can really talk about Lord Cui and his wife, I think they will bring him a private man on the road, and we can still touch him. ”

“…… This kind of light doesn't stick to it. With his body and bones, if you are afraid that you will have to bring more people on the road, how many people do you have planned?"

"I don't have to bring it myself, so what about you?

"What to take them for. ”

"Little Ninth Master doesn't want anyone to serve you?"

"It's enough to have you. ”

“……”

The sisters and brothers were chatting with each other, and suddenly saw someone come in and spread the word: "The eldest lord asks the seventh lady and the ninth master to change their clothes quickly, go to the second gate to meet everyone, and go to the martial arts house together later." ”

The family went to the Wu Mansion, and they were in such a hurry - something happened to the Wu family?

When the sisters and brothers arrived at the second gate, only Yan Zike and Yan Fourth Young Master arrived first, and the rest of the people were still rubbing behind, seeing Yan Qi coming, Yan Zike beckoned to her, and said to her in front of her: " It was the second little soldier of the martial family, who arrived in Beisai with the army of the martial arts and was assigned to the command of Yao Zongbing, Yao Zongbing ordered him to lead the team to be the vanguard of the emergency into the enemy formation, and personally led the army to do backup, but the second little warrior broke in, but his Yao Lida's backup was cut off by the army of the Siyi Alliance, Wu Xiaoer led the soldiers to kill in the enemy formation for three days and three nights, and he couldn't wait for the rescue, and finally the whole team was almost wiped out, leaving only Wu Xiaoer and two or three remnants of the army desperately out of the encirclement...... It's a pity that Wu Xiaoer lost an arm and can no longer serve in the army, just when the team escorting grain and grass is going to return to Beijing to resume his life, Wu Changge asked the escort officer to escort him back by the way, for fear that the family is worried, and no one will make the ward in advance, and the Wu family only knew the news when they entered Beijing last night. ”

Fourth Young Master Yan waved his fist fiercely with red eyes next to him: "Is that General Yao a soldier who eats dry food?! This has hurt Second Brother Wu! A person as good as Second Brother Wu will never be able to go to the battlefield again! If he is missing an arm, he can't even go out of office! The surname Yao has ruined Second Brother Wu's life! Dad! I want to go to Beisai! I want to join the army! I want to kill all those barbarians to avenge Second Brother Wu! I want to beat that person surnamed Yao severely!" As he spoke, he wiped his eyes and got water stains on his face.

Wu Yue's second brother Wu Yan is about the best person in the martial arts generation, both civil and military, with high emotions and intelligence, Yan Qi went to the martial arts family as a guest when he was a child, and he would always pick the flowers that bloomed at the highest place on the tree for her to wear, because he said that the flowers that bloom at the highest place are born to be warm, and when she wears such flowers, no matter how cold (wooden) her face will be warm.

The Yanwu family has always been good friends, and if something like this happened to the children in the family, they should go to the house with their families to visit.

When the rest of the Yan family rushed to the second gate, Yan Zike rushed straight to the Wu Mansion, and did not say much greetings when he entered the door, and went to Wu Yan's courtyard under the guidance of the Wu family.

Wu Yue's eyes were swollen from crying, and he walked behind and held Yan Qi's hand tightly, and his voice was choked: "How could such a thing happen to the second brother...... I never imagined that he would end up in such a ...... It's so heart-wrenching...... I still can't believe it's true, I don't believe it's happening...... What can the second brother do in the future...... What can I do......

"Don't cry, the more you cry, the more uncomfortable he feels," Yan Qi stretched out his hand to wipe Wu Yue's tears, "He hasn't done anything yet, you lost hope for him first, how can this make him better?" The second brother is open-minded by nature, this thing can't break him, the more you should be stronger at this time, the more you should become his strong backing, the support of your family is the most important, don't cry, go in for a while, treat him as usual, what to say and what to say, being cautious will make him uncomfortable." ”

"A group of people have been crying around him for a long time last night," Wu Yue wiped his eyes vigorously, "I don't dare to go in to see him now, I can't help but ...... when I see him"

"Then don't go in, either go back to your own yard or wait for me outside. "Yan Qidao.

"I'm waiting for you outside, you comfort and comfort the second brother for me. Wu Yue stood at the gate of the courtyard.

A group of people from the Wu family and a group of people from the Yan family were crowded in Wu Yan's house, and there was no place to put their feet, Yan Qi had to wait in the hall, and when Yan Zike came out with the adults of the Yan family, most of the people in the house were suddenly missing, and the children of the Yan family took their turns to enter.

Wu Yan was wearing a homely shirt and sitting on the kang near the window, losing an arm, such a serious injury did not allow him to lie on the bed in An'an Province, his face was very pale, but his spirit was good, seeing the Yan family brothers and sisters coming in, a smile appeared on his handsome face: "Ugly words are said in front, whoever dares to cry and mourn will be beaten out of the door." Little Four, what's the matter with those two red-eyed circles?

Fourth Young Master Yan gasped heavily, strode over to him, and said hatefully: "I'm also going to join the army!

Wu Yan supported his chin on the kang table with his only remaining left hand, and looked at Fourth Young Master Yan up and down with a smile: "I think it's okay, if you go to join the army, you will definitely be the first cavalry in the whole army." The strongest force of the barbarians is cavalry and archerymen, which are fast, powerful, long-range, and accurate. Tell me, how many rings can you shoot ten arrows in a row?"

Fourth Young Master Yan was silent for a while: "Seventy or eighty rings." ”

"Yes, at your age, it's not easy to achieve seventy or eighty rings," Wu Yan didn't have the simple and impulsive mind to stop or attack Fourth Young Master Yan, "Do you know what kind of combat the barbarian cavalry archers are best at?"

"What kind?"

"The barbarian cavalry archer, riding on a horse to hedge against you from a distance, but he does not shoot you first, but aims at your horse's knee, and when an arrow comes over, the horse's knee can be broken directly, do you know why?" Wu Yan asked.

"In order for me to fall off the horse, the offensive power will be greatly reduced. Fourth Young Master Yan said.

"This is one of the reasons, and the other reason is," Wu Yan looked at Fourth Young Master Yan, "if you break the horse's knee, this horse can no longer be reused, which is completely equivalent to being abolished, so even if you still win this time, the next time you play, you will have no horses to work with you, and your offensive power will be even more reduced, and even because you have lost too many horses, you may not have any horses to use." Raising a war horse, from breeding, to picking horses, to feeding, to training, to cooperating tacitly, how much material and mental power is consumed, I think you know better than me, if your arrows can't kill the other party before the enemy's arrows come over, when the enemy's arrows come, you can instantly wipe out so much effort you put in, and I tell you, the most elite cavalry archers in the barbarians, eight out of ten arrows can hit the horse's knee. ”

Fourth Young Master Yan was silent again, and this time it took a long time before he spoke: "I won't join the army for the time being, let's practice riding and archery first." ”

Wu Yan laughed, and his eyes moved to Young Master Yan: "It's a blessing to be able to play, we don't have dice to guess in the army, we can't use dice to gamble, drink and drink, we can only draw fists, this is good, without the habitual right hand, I estimate that I am a hundred strokes and a hundred losses." ”

Young Master Yan also smiled, sat next to him, and said, "Anyway, you have been free recently, I will teach you ten tricks that you can gamble on without using any tools, and ensure that you never get tired of playing." ”

Wu Yan laughed: "This is good, I will point to you for the days of recuperation." After that, he looked at the second girl Yan, and saw that he was sitting on the chair opposite and had been silent, so he smiled at her, "It's not a bad thing that I was driven back with a broken arm, I guess I can drink the joy of spring, right?" It's just that I don't know what kind of congratulatory gift to give...... How about I send a message?"

Before the second girl Yan could speak, the fifth girl Yan was already in a hurry and blurted out with regret: "But your hand is ......"

didn't wait for the second girl Yan to scold her, Wu Yan laughed: "What's the matter, if you lose your right hand and left hand, you can practice from scratch, if your left hand is not good, you still have a mouth, and if you can't do it, your mouth will still have feet, as long as your second sister doesn't dislike it." It's hard to say from the beginning, but it's just that people don't have the courage to go through a long time, and coincidentally, I have more of this kind of courage here. 166 Reading Network
