Chapter 3: Reunion after a long absence

June 20, Night Country City-

This town, located in the middle of the Night Country, seems to be so rich and prosperous no matter how young you are. The only difference www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is that it is now completely under the influence of Sima Jiang Yan Pei and "Liu".

On the morning of this day, Qi Rui rode his horse to the apricot flower shop in the south of the city and jumped off the horse in front of the apricot flower shop. It seems that because of today's appointment, Di Qian deliberately emptied the guests in the Xinghua Fang, and when Qi Rui walked into the lobby on the first floor, there was a rare quiet scene all around. Only at the table at the corner of the staircase sat a man, whose identity was identified by the scimitar at his waist.

Di Qiu heard Qirui's footsteps, suddenly got up, and pulled out the scimitar at his waist with his left hand, only to see the blade of the knife draw an arc of light in the air, which was very dazzling.

Qi Rui frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with Di Qiu's temptation, but the opponent's knife was already out of the sheath, so it was better to take the opportunity to find out each other's strength. It's just that Qi Rui has never carried weapons with her, and the bow in the package in her hand is still what Jiang Yanpei asked her to bring to Di Qiu, and the arrows are also specially made, only six.

Do you want to decide the winner within six arrows?

Qi Rui pondered for a moment, unwrapped the outer package of the bow and arrow, the pattern on the bow body and the luster of the bowstring all showed that this was a good bow.

Seeing this, Di Qiu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and there was a little more playfulness in his eyes. The next moment, he shifted his pace, and attacked Qirui first.

Qi Rui performed light skills and easily avoided it, and at the same time held a feather arrow in his left hand and waved his backhand with the back of the bow in his right hand, using the bowstring as a blade to attack Di Qiu.

The bowstring is extremely thin and tough, if the skin comes into contact with it, it is bound to see blood, Di Qiu could not swing the sword to cut the bow, so he had to dodge in a hurry, and the moment of hesitation was enough for Qi Rui to gain the upper hand.

However, after only two moves, Di Qiu found his rhythm and changed his sword moves to attack again.

Qi Rui tried to use the same method to force Di Qiu back, but this time Di Qiu didn't care whether the bowstring was intact or not, and used the chain knife technique to chase after him step by step. This situation was completely reversed, after all, Qi Rui did not dare to let the bow given to Di Qian by Jiang Yanpei be damaged before it was handed over to his master.

Because of his scruples, Qi Rui had to focus on defense, retreated to the side of the stairs with exquisite light skills, looked around, and instantly calculated the next countermeasure.

When Di Qiu made another move with a scimitar, Qi Rui took two steps back, climbed the steps with his back to the stairs, and then took a leap under his feet, and lightly touched the railing of the stairs with his toes, and in an instant, he rose three feet high, and Di Qiu's attack immediately failed. At the same time, Qi Rui bent his bow and arrows in his left hand, and shot two feathered arrows like lightning, attacking Di Qiu from different angles.

Di Qiu was reluctant to break the shaft of the arrow, so he turned sideways to give way to an arrow, and caught another arrow with his right hand. And this will work, and I saw two arrows fired at the same time, shooting straight forward. Di Qiu then turned his left scimitar sideways, grabbed the two feathered arrows with the inside of the blade, and then swung the knife and spun it quickly, causing the arrows to stop, and then also held them in his right hand, and said:

"On a whim for my brother, it's rude. Why don't you just stop? ”

"The elder brother is the one who cherishes the bow and arrows, and the younger sister should obey her fate." Qi Rui immediately withdrew the hand that drew the bow, bowed and said, "The little sister borrowed her brother's bow and arrow just now, and I hope my brother won't be surprised." ”

"It doesn't matter. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't know that Rui'er is not only amazing in light skills, but also superior to ordinary people in left-handed archery. Di Qiu said as he picked up the feathered arrow that had just been shot.

"In front of my brother, the little sister is ugly. In fact, I used to use my right hand in the past. Qi Rui said, and then stepped forward and handed the bow to Di Qiu along with the remaining two arrows.

Di Qiu took the bow, looked at it carefully, and said with great satisfaction:

"Thank you, father-in-law."

"My father-in-law said that this should have been sent to my brother a long time ago, but I didn't feel comfortable handing it over to others, so I asked me to intercept such a good errand."

"After many years, you used to be a little girl, and now you are almost no longer under me."

"The elder brother intends to give in, otherwise the younger sister is not the opponent of the elder brother." A dimple appeared on Qirui's lips, and she said with a humble smile.

"That way, I can rest assured that you can take over a lot of things." Di Qiu nodded in appreciation of Qirui's ability to exceed expectations.

"Is there any progress on the 'stream' side?"

"Jiang Ruoxue has already sent the new list of 'believers' and code words. What was previously impossible to penetrate and difficult to explore seems to be gradually finding a breakthrough. No matter how much the opponent doesn't leak, it's only a matter of time before we poke a hole. ”

"But what kind of force can hide so deeply, and have such amazing strength to act in the dark."

"Could it be that the Qu family still has fish that have slipped through the net......" Di Qiu's mind flashed in his mind and muttered to himself.

"Who did my brother say was the fish that slipped through the net?" Qi Rui wondered.

"It's just speculation." Di Qiu quickly denied his idea, the Qu family is just a rumored existence, and the rumor has rarely been mentioned so far, and most of the younger generation does not know, after changing his mind, Di Qiu asked again, "Rui'er is the first time to come to the city?" ”

"Yes."

"Xinghuafang is not only singing and dancing, the dishes are exquisite and famous, how about eating here at noon?"

"My brother's recommendation must be good, so it's here."

"But you still like to eat hawthorn like when you were a child?"

"Well, I like sugar cones." Qirui had a girl's heart for a while and said.

"Then let someone do it." Di Qiu Lang laughed.

"Every day?"

"What's so hard about that. In the future, in this Xinghuafang, you and I will have the same weight. Before the table opens, I'll accompany you up and down first. ”

"Okay."

At the beginning of August, Tuoba Yabu went to Dadu to meet the Kaiser. After reporting the errand assigned by the Kaiser, Tuoba Yabu thanked the emperor for his favor and walked to the back garden to visit Princess Jialu.

In the dormitory, Helian Jialu was drinking tea and talking with Chan'er, and when he heard the news from the guards, he got up and walked to the front of the hall to greet him.

"Brother Tuoba is returning to the capital today? It's been hard work for two months in a row. Helian Jialu saw Tuoba Yabu coming in the dust, and greeted him.

At the same time, two maids have already presented clean water towels for Tuoba Yabu to wipe and cleanse his face. When the maid retreated, Tuoba Yabu couldn't help but smile heartily:

"Jialu has the dignity of a princess, and her mind is also delicate, and her face towel is dipped in water, which is very refreshing."

"It's not my credit." Helian Garlu smiled and shook her head, looking back at the inner sanctum.

I saw Chan'er walking out with a teacup, handing it directly to Tuoba Yabu, and said with a light smile:

"Brother Tuoba, try it, my craftsmanship is no worse than Brother Zhi."

When Tuoba Yabu saw Chan'er, his heart jumped, he took the teacup, took a sip quietly, and then looked up and said:

"After Hengguo said goodbye, I haven't drunk such a good oolong tea for a long time, and I may not have seen my little sister for a long time."

"If Brother Tuoba likes it, I often make tea for you to drink."

"It's just that this time I'm staying in the big city for too long."

"You're going to the woods, aren't you?"

When Tuoba Yabu heard this, he was slightly surprised. Seeing this, Helian Jialu followed and said:

"I told Chan'er that Brother Tuoba has his own forest farm."

Tuoba Yabu then nodded in understanding and said:

"I will go to the forest farm for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

After a pause, he added:

"Little junior sister has not seen the moon on the grassland yet. Are you going to spend the festival in the palace, or are you going to stay in the forest farm with me for a few days? ”

"I promised my father to help take care of the courtiers' families at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner. After all, my mother has passed away, and there is no one to take care of the harem. Helian Jialu said, his eyes turned to Chan'er, "I know you're not keen on social scenes, so you might as well go to the forest farm with Brother Tuoba to race horses and enjoy the moon, it should be very interesting." ”

On the one hand, the picture scroll described by Helian Jialu really made Chan'er yearn for it, and on the other hand, Chan'er didn't want Tuoba Yabu to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, so she responded quite simply:

"Okay. Horse racing, moon appreciation, splashing ink, and stroking the piano, so as to live up to the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

With joy in his heart, Tuoba Yabu drank tea as if he were drinking, and then said:

"Okay, five days later, I'll pick up the little junior sister and set off."

"Now Brother Tuoba is blessed. I asked them to bring more good tea leaves, so that you could cook tea and write poems. Wouldn't it be nice to have wine and tea, poetry and music? ”

"Thank you so much Princess Jialu."
