Chapter 18: Slipping Out of Miyagi
Over there, Chen Xun and Liu Liang, the general who brought a bow to Yunqing, hurriedly came over.
As soon as Chen Xun came over, he immediately said, "Lord Duke, I lost." Viscount Yunqing's archery skills, Chen Xun was ashamed of himself. This time, Chen Xun lost the face of our army, and asked the Duke to punish him. ”
Yun Qing was able to accurately shoot the assassin on the city wall in two hundred steps, and Chen Xun thought that he couldn't do this alone, and he thought that Yue Qingrou was angry because he lost.
"Yes, it's time to be punished. See for yourself, how should I punish him? Yue Qingrou threw the bow in her hand in front of Chen Xun.
Chen Xun picked up the bow and pulled it with a confused expression, his face changed suddenly, and he looked at Liu Liang beside him with an angry face: "Liu Liang, you ...... How can you use such a small means? ”
Liu Liang's face was full of shame: "Lord Duke, Chen Xun didn't know about this matter, I did it myself." I can't be angry that Lord Duke values that imperial nobleman's archery skills so much, like making a fool of him. Lord Duke, don't punish Chen Xun, please punish me. ”
"Liu Liang, what are you talking about? You're just for me. Lord Duke, Liu Liang is doing this for me, please Lord Duke punish me. Chen Xun hurriedly pleaded.
Yue Qingrou's eyes were cold, and her voice was cold: "Hmph, neither of you two can escape." Come, drag them out for me, and beat them with a hundred sticks each. ”
As soon as this order came out, the surrounding soldiers all looked at each other, and this hundred military sticks were not for fun. Wait for the idlers to go down with a hundred military sticks, and they will be crippled if they don't die.
"What? You don't listen to what I'm saying, do you? Yue Qingrou saw that no one stepped forward for a while, and she was even more annoyed.
Yun Qing didn't react until this moment, Yue Qingrou actually made such a big fire for herself, and hurriedly stopped: "This beautiful duke, they are just joking with me." Don't be angry. Besides, I'm all your captives, so what if I make a fool of myself? What's that, graceful beauty, why don't you go and interrogate that assassin quickly. ”
"That's right, tenderness, let's not talk about the assassin. There is also a messenger from the Snow Plains next to him. Wanrong was reminded by Yun Qingyi and quickly diverted the topic.
Yue Qingrou suppressed her anger and said coldly: "Even if you are exempted from the military stick, but you can't just forget it, you two will start again as a soldier for me from today." ”
In a word, the two were dismissed from military service.
The two of them also hurriedly apologized, and it was very good to be able to deal with it like this.
"Your Excellency. I...... I throw in the towel. Feng Xiang, who had been standing on the sidelines, didn't understand why Yue Qingrou didn't care about the assassin and went to get angry at his subordinates, but he knew that the young man's archery skills were definitely better than his own.
When I thought about it, people didn't let that boy with excellent archery skills shoot at all, but let an ordinary marksman compare with him, and I felt that it was to take care of his own face.
But he couldn't turn a blind eye, so he directly and generously admitted defeat.
Yue Qingrou was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then understood: "You made a mistake." It's you who wins. That guy is not from my army. Come and take the Fengxiang envoy to the guest room to rest. ”
Yue Qingrou and Wanrong went to interrogate the assassins, and Chen Xun and Liu Liang were ashamed to apologize to Yunqing.
"Alright, don't kneel." Yun Qing pulled up this and that knelt, pulled up that and knelt down, his head hurt: "It's not a big deal, let's get up." ”
The surrounding soldiers also came over to persuade them, so that the two of them would not kneel anymore.
It's just that this day Yunqing's days are restless.
Liu Liang and Chen Xun simply became Yunqing's followers, and they almost followed the toilet.
"I said, can you two stop following me?" Yun Qing wanted to cry without tears and looked at the two people who were competing to serve him tea and pour water, which made no one stand this. These two people almost fed food to Yun Qing's mouth.
"Lord Viscount, we're so guilty. You saved us again, and we can't repay ......"
"Okay, don't talk about it......" Yun Qing swooped out of the house, and the speed made all the soldiers in the room stunned.
If you don't escape, you can't do it, as soon as these two people talk about this, it's endless. Yun Qing had heard it three times today, and each time it lasted for a long time.
I really can't figure out how two big men can be so verbose.
Yun Qing, who fled outside, naturally didn't dare to stay, and slipped towards the palace on the side of Liuyun Palace, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be found by those two guys.
Yun Qing had just slipped to the front of the palace on the far side, when he saw a figure sneakily hiding in the dark night.
It may be difficult for others to see that person clearly, but Yun Qing has been hunting in the mountains and forests for a long time and often moves at night, so his vision at night is also very good. At a glance, it can be seen that the sneaky person is none other than Yue Qingrou.
Who is this beauty hiding from in her own home? Curious, Yun Qing immediately followed.
"Hey, Duke Beauty? Where are you going? Yun Qing followed and shouted.
Yue Qingrou was taken aback, and when she looked back at Yun Qing, she hurriedly raised her index finger: "Shhh...... Don't make a sound. ”
"What are you doing?" Yun Qing lowered his voice.
"I'm going to slip out." Yue Qingrou looked around carefully, this palace was close to the side palace wall, and there might be soldiers patrolling the palace wall at any time.
"Why did you sneak out?" Yun Qing was a little puzzled: "If you want to go out, don't you just go out?" ”
"How's that going to work? If I go out like that, Wanrong must bring a guard to follow, so what's the point of me going out? Okay, anyway, I was discovered by you, and I'll take you out. Saying that, Yue Qingrou suddenly grabbed Yun Qing, her figure flew up, and she swept directly to the edge of the palace wall.
Then Yue Qingrou reached out to hold Yun Qing's waist, kicked her feet together, and the towering city wall was almost flat and she easily took Yun Qing to climb up.
By the time Yun Qing came back to his senses, he was already outside the palace wall.
"Do you come out like this often?" Yun Qing saw that she was so skillful in her movements, obviously not the first time she had done this.
"yes. Follow me. Yue Qingrou pulled Yunqing and left.
Under the moonlight, Yun Qing found that she had changed into an ordinary cloth dress, but even so, it was difficult to hide her peerless beauty.
"Now you should tell me what I came out for, right?"
"Enjoy the life of a commoner." Yue Qingrou replied with a smile: "Look, there is a candy seller over there, let's go." ”
With a mouth full of candy and a handful in his hand, no one would think of the majestic Duke on the battlefield and the high head of Miyagi.
Yun Qing also stuffed a few pieces in her mouth, and the two walked slowly on the road, looking at the bustling streets.
"You're actually trying to find out how they're living, right?" Yun Qing quietly asked about the operation of several shops and the daily life of several people, and suddenly realized.
"yes, that's how we can get to know the real thing." Yue Qingrou laughed: "If I come as a duke, I'm afraid I won't know anything." ”
"Your territory is well governed." Yun Qing looked at the prosperity in front of him, and thought of the small villages and towns he saw on the way to be escorted here: "I haven't seen any beggars and slums along the way. ”
"Of course it's impossible to see it. I specially organized people to gather the beggars and people in my territory who were poor, so that the healthy ones could build dikes and build bridges and pave roads. The elderly, the weak, the women and the children cooked for them. Then I pay them. In this way, their lives can be better, and the financial expenditure is really doing something. ”
"Can I learn from you how to govern the territory?" Yueqing's gentle words made Yun Qing feel very deeply, and he couldn't help but speak.
"You want to learn from me how to govern the territory?" Yue Qingrou seemed to have heard a big joke: "Lord Viscount, you are a captive." Whether he can be redeemed or not is still unknown. ”
"Those are two different things."
"No problem, tomorrow I will ask Wanrong to show you the official documents I handled before." Yue Qingrou laughed: "You really don't have the consciousness of being a captive." ”
"Well, that's right. One more thing. Yun Qing was a little embarrassed, it seemed that he really didn't see himself as a prisoner.
"Say it. What's up? ”
"Can you tell me a little bit about martial arts? I don't understand at all. Even the tenth rank of martial arts has only heard of it once. ”
This next month, Qingrou was completely shocked by Yun Qing.
"Your cultivation is at least at the level of the sixth-order connotation, and you actually told me that you have only heard of the tenth-order martial arts once. Who taught you? Yue Qingrou looked surprised, but she saw that Yun Qing's expression was clearly not fake.
"This ...... It was taught by an old man. When I teach, I only tell me how to do it, eh, that is, what you said about how to do the exercises, and I haven't talked about anything else. ”
"Okay. Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you every night. Yue Qingrou sighed, it was the first time she had heard of such a strange thing.
"There's something fun ahead, let's go." Yue Qingrou looked up, pulled Yunqing and ran.
This vacant lot is where many small vendors live. It is stocked with a variety of goods.
But none of them are for sale, and these vendors have their own tricks.
Some climb a high rope and win prizes according to the height climbed; Some of them threw thin bamboo poles into a bamboo tube and won the prize; Others shoot directly with a toy bow...... Of course, these all cost money.
"What do you want?" Yun Qing saw that Yue Qingrou's eyes lit up, and pulled her to the stall where the toy bow shot prize.
Yue Qingrou pointed to a beautiful necklace: "That necklace, and that earring." ”
"Okay, look at me." Yun Qing bought ten arrows and shot two arrows casually. Both arrows hit the base of the necklace and earrings.
But the base only moved slightly, and did not fall backwards.
"Hee-hee, look at the way you swear, stupid, right? I can't even shoot this one. Yue Qingrou gently spit out her little fragrant tongue and made a grimace.
Even as a duke, she was only an eighteen-year-old girl. Slipped out with Yun Qing, there was no one to follow, and the mood was relaxed, and he was happy to have a while.
Something is wrong, even if this toy bow is not strong, with my strength, I should shoot the base down, is there something strange?
Thinking of this, Yun Qing shot two more arrows.
This time it was different from before, these two arrows **** out, and the second arrow caught up with the first arrow when it flew halfway, and changed the direction of the first arrow.
So the first arrow hit the base from the side, and shot the base directly from the side. As soon as this one fell, Yun Qing concocted two arrows in the same way, and the base of the earrings was also shot down.
"Great, win." Yue Qingrou cheered like a child.
"This doesn't count, this doesn't count." The stall owner hurriedly shouted: "It's not backwards." ”
Yun Qing pulled the stall owner and said in a low voice: "I said, when the base fell down just now, others may not have seen it, but I can see it, there is a wooden stick behind the base, so it is not easy to fall back." Are you trying to tell me? ”
The stall owner's face turned green when he heard this: "Don't ...... Other...... Uncle, I am old and young, so I live on this stall......"
"Alright. Don't worry, just give me those two things. ”
"Good, good." The stall owner hurriedly went to get it and gave it to Yunqing.
Yun Qing took the necklace and earrings and walked towards Yue Qingrou: "The stall owner was persuaded by me, so it's okay." ”
"There's no mirror here, it's inconvenient for me to wear it, you can help me put it on." Yue Qingrou smiled. xh118
