Qin Zhiyu stood on the river beach in a daze, watching Yan Qi approach step by step, his heart was getting tighter and tighter, behind him was the noisy crowd, fire, wine, Xianle, barbecue, other people's lives are so beautiful, but her life is like falling into an ice cave. The more noisy she was, the more panicked her heart became, she didn't want to fulfill this bet, as long as she knelt on her knees, she would be finished, her future would be ruined, her reputation would be ruined, and those people she had offended and looked down on would definitely come out and fall into the ground......

People are always forced to such a time, and they will regret that they have left no room for others.

Qin Zhiyu really regretted it, his eyes were red, but he stubbornly refused to shed tears and relented, watching Yan Qi walk in front of him, he was about to kneel down as soon as he bit his teeth, but Yan Qi reached out and held his arm.

"Go to the gate of the palace. She didn't forgive her, but she was gracious enough to disgrace her in front of more people.

But she doesn't appreciate her for this, she hates her, hates her to the core!

"You really don't have to be grateful to me," Yan Qi seemed to be able to read what she was thinking, "I just don't want people who know you on the river beach to come and stop me." ”

There were several people over there looking at the room with their heads sticking out.

If you are stopped on the river beach, I am afraid that you will not even be able to kneel outside the gate of the palace and apologize.

Instead of being soft-hearted, it is doing better.

Qin Zhiyu stared at Yan Qi, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

Yan Qi didn't see it, and only said, "Let's go." ”

Qin Zhiyu gritted her teeth and walked in the direction of the palace, she didn't see Yuan Chang, she didn't know where he went, and she refused to follow to stop this surnamed Yan...... The more she thought about it, the more she hated, and she hated that she couldn't get this revenge back from Yan Qi right now!

Can...... She knows her archery skills better...... is indeed inferior to her, not only in archery skills, but also in ruthlessness and spiciness.

This Yan Qi should be as big as her, right?! It can be seen that she doesn't know how to do internal skills, so how did she practice this arrow skill? Could it be that she was taught by the Arrow God? Why didn't Yuan Chang know! If Tu Mi was her master, how could she possibly face the master with arrows?!

Qin Zhiyu also has her own master, and her master taught her: The best way to defeat a strong enemy is to learn from a strong enemy first, then practice more and harder than the other party, and finally return to defeat her!

What more way to get revenge than defeating an opponent with his opponent's successful methods?!

Qin Zhiyu clenched his fists, with a heart full of revenge, gritted his teeth and asked Yan Qi: "You-how did you practice your archery technique?"

"Practice more. ”

"More practice—what is more?" Qin Zhiyu asked without shame and humiliation.

"It depends on the personal situation," Yan Qi also gave advice, "How many arrows do you practice shooting every day?"

"Three thousand arrows. When Qin Zhiyu said this number, he was both proud and bitter in his heart, he practiced so many arrows every day, but he still couldn't compare to the person next to him, so he couldn't help but ask back, "How many arrows do you practice every day?"

"Are you asking now or before?"

"Now!"

"Now I only practice the four hundred arrows prescribed by the Riding and Archery Society. ”

"—What about before?"

"Before," Yan Qi's voice was calm, "ten thousand arrows." ”

"......" Qin Zhiyu didn't know how to react for a while.

"In the past, except for eating and sleeping, I practiced archery all the time," Yan Qi's voice suddenly became a little distant, "The action of archery has become a knee-jerk reaction for me like a blink of an eye without having to think and adjust, I can't say if I move the target, if the static target is fixed, I will probably only have a deviation the size of a soybean once in 100,000 arrows." ”

Qin Zhiyu looked at Yan Qi in disbelief, and almost forgot to take a step--10,000 arrows a day! Even if an arrow is shot every three moments (seconds), it will take more than four hours! This person--this person's life doesn't do anything but practice archery?! How is it possible! Isn't she still studying in the academy? When will she be able to spare four hours to practice archery?!

"Of course," Yan Qi tilted his head to look at her, "If you want to beat me, practicing ten thousand arrows a day is not enough." ”

Qin Zhiyu looked at her in astonishment, unable to find his voice.

"In archery, in addition to technique, the most important thing is the state of mind. "Yan Qidao," the calm state of mind is not innate, and it can't be cultivated by the life of the Golden House and Yudong. There are only two things in this world: life and death. If you don't experience life and death, you can't be calm. After being born and dying five times, what you have learned is calmness, after more than a dozen births and deaths, you can become calm, and after hundreds of thousands of births and deaths, there is nothing in this world that can affect your state of mind. A person who has been clothed and fed since he was a child and such a person raises an arrow to shoot each other, who has a greater chance of victory?"

The answer was self-explanatory, Qin Zhiyu was stunned and dazed. Born and died hundreds of times, what kind of person would have such a terrible experience? Is it Yan Qi? How could it be, how old is she! But...... But she is not shocked, isn't she like a person who has experienced a hundred thousand births and deaths?!

According to this statement, won't I never be able to defeat her?!

"Except for technique and state of mind," Qin Zhiyu heard Yan Qi still saying—apart from technique and state of mind, what else is there?!!How can there be?!" I still like archery. ”

…… Nonsense, if you don't like it, I'll learn it?!I practice three thousand arrows a day, rain or shine, can I not like it?!

"Can you guarantee that each of your arrows is as serious as the first arrow of the day?" Yan Qidao.

This...... Qin Zhiyu didn't dare to guarantee it, because people are not puppets, it is impossible to never know that they are tired, the more arrows are shot, the weaker their body and concentration will be, and the energy invested in the third thousand arrows and the first arrow will definitely not be the same.

"I can guarantee it. Yan Qi said, "The body and spirit are not excuses, you think you can't do it because you are not committed enough, you think you have put your heart and soul into it, but in fact, you just regard shooting enough as a task that must be completed." The real love is 'life is only like the first arrow'. ”

Qin Zhiyu was shocked, shocked and defeated on this sentence "If life is only like the first arrow". She felt like she had suffered Yan Qi's heavy and ruthless triple blows, from the technical training of 10,000 arrows a day, to the cultivation of the state of mind of birth and death thousands of times, and then to the fact that she liked archery "if life is only like the first arrow".

She was defeated and defeated.

When she walked to the gate of the palace, she could no longer support it, and her legs fell to her knees at the bottom of the steps.

When Young Master Yan Jiu slowly followed his uncle out of the palace gate—Yan Zike was specially asked by Imperial Doctor Lu to ask him to pick up the injury number, otherwise Young Master Yan Jiu wouldn't even be able to get out of the palace gate without a waist card—he saw the situation in front of him, Qin Zhiyu, who was so proud and glorious on weekdays, was kneeling on the ground like an eggplant hit by frost at the moment, and his sister, as calm and calm as ever, stood in the bright and silver night, waiting to take him home.

Young Master Yan Jiu closed his eyes, inhaled deeply, and exhaled slowly.

A few moments ago, Qin Zhiyu was still looking up at her chin like a proud princess.

A few moments later, she knelt at the foot of the stairs like a bereavement dog.

He didn't have to guess what had happened in those moments, he just had to reassure the people who cared about him the most.

Young Master Yan Jiu slowly grimaced at his sister.

The moon was in full bloom, gently softening the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

When he passed in front of Qin Zhiyu, he heard this person say "I'm sorry" in a dumb voice, but neither of the Yan family's uncles and nephews paid any attention, Yan Zike just asked his niece as usual: "What do you want to eat at night?"

"Can you make blood tofu soup from the imperial kitchen?" Yan Qi asked as she turned around and followed her uncle back, and Young Master Yan Jiu followed slowly behind, interjecting by the way: "I don't drink." ”

"Don't be willful, eat what you want. His sister said.

"That's why you drink milk every morning?"

“……”

"It doesn't work. ”

"What grudge?"

Yan Zike: "Hehehehehe." ”

A family of three slowly walked into the night.

Qin Zhiyu sat down on the ground in dejection, and Fang Cai's resentment suddenly collapsed without a trace, and all that was left was wolf bèi and dazed.

When the gap is so big that it is impossible or even unimaginable, the hatred is extremely ridiculous, and the so-called arrogance is blown into slag.

……

The bonfire meeting of the Yan family uncle and nephew naturally did not go again, and went straight back to Feilai Pavilion. Yan Zike didn't ask Yan Qi and Qin Zhiyu about it, and the three of them went back to their rooms early after eating, and no one had any nostalgia for the last night on the island.

The next morning, I got up, packed up and went to the dock on the island, and all the courtiers and their families waited nearby, and the emperor boarded the ship first, so that everyone could follow him and board the ship back.

Yan Qi stood in the shade with the gauze wrapped around his head, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be two eyes looking at this room, and he turned his face to look over, but he saw that it was Yuan Chang, who was quickly turning his head and looking away, but the stiff and straight back and clenched fists exposed the young man's complex and youthful feelings.

"Are you stimulating him again?" asked Young Master Yan Jiu with a smirk.

Yan Qi didn't speak.

The process of growing up is the process of constantly paying the price, and if it comes to the price, who can pay more than her?

After a quiet return journey, the three members of the Yan family finally entered the door of their house, regardless of the noon, they went to the upper room to greet the old lady and the old lady, and walked all the way, Yan Qi attracted the attention of many servants.

"The seven girls have lost weight. After caring about the injury on Young Master Yanjiu's head, Old Lady Yan began to look up and down at the granddaughter in front of her, who had never had a sense of zài at home, and suddenly found that she usually really ignored this child who was always silent, otherwise why did she find out that this girl was born no worse than Xiao Wu?

"Is the island fun?" couldn't help but soften his eyebrows and asked Yan Qi with a smile.

"It's fun. Yan Qi replied, took out a string of Buddha beads from his arms and presented it to Mrs. Yan with both hands, "The yellow vine on the island bears seeds, Xiao Jiu said that this seed is called 'Xingyue Bodhi', which is the best thing used to string Buddha beads, we have selected a good quality of polishing and processing, and we will honor you for playing." Yan Zike sat next to him and laughed.

Old Mrs. Yan happily took it, looked at it in front of her, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of the output of Yudao, it is really in excellent condition, and you sisters and brothers are also bothered." As he spoke, he put it on his wrist on the spot.

The young master Yan Jiu was also letting Shui Mo hold a rattan cane in both hands and present it to the old lady Yan: "There is a quinoa vine growing on the royal island, which is foot high, and the grandson saw that its shape was like a dragon, so he chose one of the passages to be used as a staff for his grandfather." ”

Old lady Yan took it and held it in her hand, walked around the hall twice, and squinted her eyes with satisfaction with one hand: "'You are like a good friend, and your provenance is always the same. Crossing the water more than 10,000 twists and turns, piercing the clouds or a thousand weights', a good staff. ”

"The seventh sister and the ninth brother have always been the most sensible, and this trip out and back are more and more like adults," Mrs. Yan laughed softly, "It's just that the food on that island is not used to eating? ”

It sounds like a concern, but the heavier ones inevitably don't think much about it--you can still lose weight by following your uncle to Yujima, isn't this subtext just accusing your uncle of not taking good care of you? Who is this trying to slap in the face!

Without waiting for Yan Qi to answer, Young Master Yan Jiu turned his head and smiled slowly: "There are a lot of people on the island, and it is difficult to move around every day to socialize. When it comes to socializing, there are many people who ask why the fifth sister didn't go, thinking that they are all friends of the fifth sister, and we have to explain one or two, telling the fifth sister to serve her grandmother at home...... Those people stopped asking, but taught people to envy the good popularity of the fifth sister. ”

When these words were said unhurriedly, the smile on Mrs. Yan's face was already a little stiff. Doesn't she know what her own daughter is like? After staying at home all summer and serving Mrs. Yan's bed, the girl didn't even bother to take an extra step out of her room—how hot it was outside! How cool it was in the house! From Baochun Ju to Sijiju, not to mention that the sun was shining directly on the top, even the ground was roasted to the soles of her feet! Who was happy to run out if she had nothing to do!

When Mrs. Yan heard this, she thought of the lazy appearance of the five girls, and could she be happy in her heart? Yan Xiaojiu was clearly disgusting with maggots in front of him! He knew what kind of virtue Yan Wu would have at home, and he deliberately picked this point to make a fuss, can you say that people are not right?

This is really a slap in the face, and the slap is louder than you and more brittle than you.

Mrs. Yan was about to say something, but she heard the lid of the teacup in her husband's hand next to her, and she caught a glimpse of him casually twitching his cuffs, in previous years, when he came back from the island, he would always take out the gifts for her from those cuffs, but this year, ...... Nothing, empty, not even the wind on the island brought back a trace.

Mrs. Yan lowered her eyes, her fingertips were a little cold, who put too much ice in the house? Don't you know that ten fingers are connected to the heart......

On the day when the Yan family's uncles and nephews returned home, it happened to be the day of inviting peace, and the adults and children in each room gathered in the Four Seasons House at dinner, which could be regarded as washing the dust and catching the wind for the uncles and nephews. The focus of everyone's attention at the dinner table was nothing more than two, one was the injury on Young Master Yan Jiu's head, and the other was Yan Qi's weight loss results.

Yan Wu girl hated Yan Qi, and after a meal, she either didn't look at her, or glared at her hatefully, who let this not only replace her place on the imperial island, but also lose weight!

"The seventh sister has lost weight and looks much more beautiful than before. Her fourth brother, Fourth Young Master Yan, was praising Yan Qi heartlessly.

"The fourth brother is also stronger than before. Yan Qi also praised him.

"Of course, I practiced riding and archery every day during this summer vacation!" Fourth Young Master Yan patted his chest, "Dad has promised to take me with him when he goes to Qiuwei with the emperor this year!"

The emperor has to go to the royal enclosure to hunt every autumn, when the military attaches in Beijing are all with them, and can bring their families to participate in the hunting, although Yan Zike is a civil official, every year will be called by the emperor to accompany the enclosure.

"Come on, then. "Yan Qidao.

"I heard that the top five officials in this year's hunting competition can become the guests of the Arrow God, go to his mansion as a guest, and ask him how to shoot by the way!" said Fourth Young Master Yan's eyes sparkled.
