There is a wide Taishi chair in the spacious martial arts field on all sides, and there is a case table of yellow rosewood next to the Taishi chair, and there are all kinds of melons and fruits on the table, and Mrs. Zhang stood respectfully aside, holding fresh melons and fruits with a painted porcelain cup and offering them to Mrs. Zhang who was sitting next to her, and then stood aside and covered her mouth with a silk and smiled: "The scenery of this Zhuangzi is really good, thanks to the blessing of my mother, like we are detained in Beijing all year round, where can we see such a good mountain scenery." ”

Old Madam Zhang had a sable hair on her head and wiped her forehead, and there was a shining pearl in it, but she had some sickness on her face, and she was quite inadequate. She was a little stunned when she heard this: "At that time, I had a whole birthday, and the first emperor looked at the Zhuangzi who was specially rewarded on the face of the former queen. ”

Second Mrs. Zhang hurriedly served tea with her own hands, bowed down and comforted a few words, and then pretended to look at the door inadvertently: "It's almost noon, why hasn't the emperor come yet, don't be delayed by something, right?" ”

Of course, Mrs. Zhang knew what she was thinking, Jiang You had just left Beijing on the front foot, so she was in a hurry and came to Huangzhuang to live for a few days, and specially brought Dongnian with her, Mrs. Zhang didn't want to come, but first, she was really sick and couldn't bear it, and secondly, she also wanted to take advantage of the time when she could walk around, so she responded with one eye closed, anyway, Mrs. Zhang had her own pressure here, and there was no big mess.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was tired, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly took a thin jacket and covered her with it, and raised her hand to beckon to Zhang Dongnian, who was practicing archery in the martial arts arena, and helped him smooth out the wrinkles on his collar, and said lovingly: "My son, the emperor will come in a while, the emperor is good at martial arts, you show Xiàn, show Xiàn calm and smart, can the emperor not value you?" ”

At this time, Zhang Donglan was drinking tea, and she almost sneered when she heard this, as far as Jiang You's temperament was, the more stable she looked, the more disgusted she was.

Second Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned around on him, and she tucked the corners of her mouth with a silk lukewarmly: "The third child has also entered Taixue to learn some serious knowledge, and it is not a matter to learn some kung fu like a reckless man, our Qi Dynasty still rules the world with literature in the end, and when the emperor goes back to the school, if there is an answer that can't be answered, it is still our Zhang family's face that is lost." ”

Zhang Donglan didn't want to compete with the women's Taoist family for the benefit of her tongue, not to mention that she was still an elder, she just smiled faintly when she heard the words, and Mrs. Zhang lifted her eyelids and looked at her coldly: "The emperor's most important character, he won't look down on our Zhang family because of this little thing, but you have restrained your careful thoughts, do you really think that others can't see it?" ”

Second Mrs. Zhang was reprimanded in front of her juniors, and she was ashamed and angry for a while, but she only hung her head and didn't dare to speak, just when a report came from outside the door: "The emperor is here!" ”

Everyone was about to get up to greet each other, when they saw Jiang You dressed in pure black, the collar was embroidered with gold thread with a wide edge, the silk silk was hung with a jade hook, and he was wearing a jade crown on his head.

She looked over, then happily called "grandmother", and walked over quickly, Mrs. Zhang may not have seen her for a long time, she lovingly took her into her arms and rubbed her for a while, pointed to the martial arts arena and said: "The emperor looks, your two cousins are practicing riding and archery." ”

At this time, Zhang Donglan and Zhang Dongzheng both got on the horse at this time, and the second lady Zhang heard that a glance swept over, Zhang Dongnian nodded knowingly, and subconsciously glanced at Jiang You, and was a little distracted at first sight.

The last time he fought with Zhang Donglan, she didn't say a word and came up to pull the sideshow, and she didn't see her appearance clearly at the time, but now I see her dressed in a dark color, and her skin is as white as jade, her hair is black, and there is a sense of Haoran and hearty between her eyebrows.

Originally, he was just worried about the identity of the queen, and he didn't have much thought about her herself, but now when he saw the real person, it was like picking up a big bargain, and he was even more pretentious, straightening his back and riding his horse with a bow and arrows.

Jiang You heard that he could practice riding and archery, so he said with confidence: "I will also go down and try." Behind her, Xue Yuan stopped her waist and trapped her in his arms, didn't let her move, and smiled: "The two sons are measured in comparison with each other, the emperor is not serious, whether he is injured by the two sons or the two of them, it is not beautiful, or An An is watching on the stage alive, you have the mind of Xiang Wu, it is the same whether you compete or not." ”

Jiang You's body stiffened, his face was slightly red, and he twisted his body uncomfortably, but he was surprisingly docile.

Seeing the intimate posture of the two, Mrs. Zhang thought of the rumors she had vaguely heard a few days ago, her eyes were a little uneasy, she raised her hand and beckoned and said with a smile: "The emperor is coming, I know you are coming, and I specially asked Mother Wei to make a lot of snacks, which are all your favorite foods when you were a child, come and taste them while they are hot." ”

Jiang You's interest in desserts has faded a lot since he had his teeth extracted, but he still walked over and picked up a piece and was about to bite it, when he saw the scene in the field in a blink of an eye, he was so shocked that the snacks in his hand fell.

Zhang Dongnian didn't know if he was deliberately prestigious or what, but he didn't shoot his own arrow target after Zhang Gong took the arrow, turned around sharply on the horse, and shot at Zhang Donglan's arrow target with an arrow, and after hitting the bull's-eye, he smiled proudly at Zhang Donglan: "The third brother's kung fu is not yet hot." ”

Zhang Donglan raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, and the two shot an arrow at the same time, this time Zhang Donglan's arrow shot straight at his arrow, and after shooting his arrow away, it hit the bull's-eye, and then stood on the horse and hugged his fist slightly: "The carving insect skill is not comparable to the second brother." ”

Zhang Dongnian's face was blue, and he suddenly pulled out the Yanling arrow from the quiver behind him and put it on the bow, he first aimed at the bull's-eye, and when the arrow was about to shoot, he suddenly turned around and shot it at the other side, the arrow was like an eye, and it shot straight towards Zhang Donglan.

He had a good plan in his heart, and he naturally didn't dare to let him kill people, but it was okay to let Zhang Donglan suffer some hardships, and by the way, let him throw back people in front of the emperor. Even his grandmother and uncle didn't dare to do anything to him.

Jiang You saw that Zhang Dongnian's posture of holding the bow and arrow was wrong, and at this time, when he saw the arrow shooting towards Zhang Donglan, he turned around in surprise and shouted: "Stop him!" ”

Although Zhang Dongnian didn't dare to aim the arrow directly at him, but the arrow was also very close at this time, he waited to see Zhang Donglan fall off the horse and throw back the big ugly, but he didn't expect Zhang Donglan to just change his face slightly, and then quickly leaned down and made a 'hide in the saddle', narrowly avoiding the arrow.

Several guards behind him immediately took their knives out of their sheaths, turned over and jumped off the field and only rushed towards Zhang Dongnian, the horse he was riding was not a war horse, and he was rushed by this murderous aura, so that the horse neighed and stood up, directly overturning Zhang Dongnian to the ground, and the whole person was lying on the martial arts arena in a big shape.

Second Mrs. Zhang let out an 'oops', and was about to rush straight over, but was forced to stay in place by Mrs. Zhang's eyes, Jiang You saw that Zhang Donglan was fine, so he eased his expression slightly, turned his head and frowned at her: "How did the second lady discipline her son, and did such a cruel thing to her own brother?" ”

Second Mrs. Zhang's expression froze, and she explained after a while: "This emperor is serious, that is, when there is still a bump between the teeth and the tongue, the brothers are just playing with each other, and this cruelty is naturally not to be talked about" She saw Zhang Donglan coming over in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and pulled him and said: "The third party is only on the field, you know best what happened, you can tell me, is your second brother unintentional?" She was anxious, the hand holding Zhang Donglan's wrist slightly increased her strength, and her eyes also revealed coercion.

Zhang Donglan's expression was slightly cold, and she quietly broke free of her shackles: "I don't know if the second brother is a nephew on purpose, but I know that as soon as I raised my head, the second brother's arrow rushed straight towards me." ”

Second Mrs. Zhang was anxious, and turned her head to explain to Jiang You, Jiang You frowned and didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned around to watch the martial arts arena again, but found that Zhang Dongnian, who had just fallen on his stomach, was helped to stand up, but his expression was angry and hateful, and he was helped to the viewing platform, knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhang and said, "The child is incompetent, which makes grandmother worried." ”

Zhang Donglan walked over and knelt on the other side, although Mrs. Zhang was also annoyed that he was so heavy on his brother, but what is this the ugly family of the Zhang family, there are so many eyes on this martial arts field, and the punishment can only be turned back. He only sank his face and said: "You can compete until the end of the experiment, why do you want to make such a big move, but it hurts the brotherhood!" She turned her head to Jiang You and said apologetically: "Dongnian, this kid has a rough temperament, but it disturbs the emperor's interest, so it's better to stop there." ”

Zhang Dongnian bowed to Jiang You, looked at her with a smile on his face, and used his strength to make a beautiful son: "It's all Weichen's, it's disturbing the emperor's interest, it really shouldn't be, please ask the emperor to be gracious and allow Weichen to take you around this Zhuangzi to make up for some sins." He was quite close to Jiang You at this time, vaguely smelling the sweet smell of her, and his heart beat several beats.

Second Mrs. Zhang also helped: "It's rare for the emperor to come back, it's better to let Nian'er walk around with you, you used to play together when you were young, but now don't be angry." ”

Jiang You said lightly: "I don't remember the things when I was a child, but I still remember the things that Zhang Ergongzi abused his brother in every way and even beat people a few months ago. She pressed a small gold-painted fan against her head: "Besides, I came to see my grandmother, so I don't have to go to the garden, and I don't have that leisure." ”

Second Mrs. Zhang's expression froze, and she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, but Old Madam Zhang glanced at her coldly; "You take Nian'er back to your yard first and take it with you, and you are not allowed to come out without my orders." This is the meaning of grounding, she ignored the face of Second Lady Zhang after speaking, and smiled at Jiang You: "The emperor has a heart, old lady, I am just some old illness, I am worried about you." ”

Jiang You was about to open his mouth to answer, when he suddenly saw a soldier still wearing a small colonel with a small flag on his back, and no servant dared to stop him all the way, he hurriedly ran in, knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhang, and said urgently: "Old lady, Zhenguo Gong and Little Grandpa somehow had a sudden high fever in the barracks last night, and now they are unconscious, and even their breath is weaker!" ”

Old Madam Zhang shook her body in shock, and the dragon head crutch in her hand turned away with a bang, and said in a trembling voice: "What?!" Zheng'er's father and Zheng'er wrote to the old man a few days ago that they were in the camp well, why was it wrong all of a sudden?! ”

The soldier said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the situation is now, I just listen to the military doctor in the camp" He paused slightly, took a deep breath and said: "The prince of Zhenguo and the little grandfather seem to have been hit by a chronic strange poison, which has accumulated in the body for a long time before attacking together. ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her fingers trembled, and she reluctantly said, "What kind of poison is it?" Is there a way to heal? ”

The soldier hurriedly knelt down and said: "The military doctor didn't recognize that kind of poison, so he thought of a way, asked the old lady to face the saint, and begged the emperor to invite Wei Cheng, the national hand of Xinglin, to come to diagnose and treat, maybe there is still salvation!" ”

Wei Cheng is imperial doctor, Old Madam Zhang hurriedly turned her head to look at Jiang You, and said unsteadily: "Your Majesty"

Jiang You also came back from the shock at this time, and hurriedly supported her and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, I will invite someone to come and see my uncle." ”

Old Madam Zhang was speechless for a while, just patted her hand gratefully, Jiang You hurriedly ordered someone to invite someone, and then looked at Old Madam Zhang, who was pale and almost fainted, and said, "Grandmother, don't worry too much, I will go back and follow the imperial doctor to see my uncle." ”

She looked sideways at Xue Yuan, whose face sank slightly, and took a deep breath and said, "When I was learning the art of war, Liu Shangshu said that anything can be messed up, that is, the military spirit can't be messed up, otherwise nothing will happen." The commanders of the three major battalions can't be transferred for the time being, without the commander, it's hard to guarantee that the people under me will have any thoughts, I will go to the town for a few days, and when I turn back, the governor's mansion of the five armies will send people again, and I will naturally come back. ”

She is also anxious now, on the one hand, she is worried that Zhen Guogong and Zhang Dongnian really have three strengths and two shortcomings, and on the other hand, she is afraid that the boss will be poisoned, and the subordinates will take the opportunity to make trouble, so she frowned and looked at Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan pursed his lips and said lightly: "The minister is waiting for the emperor to come back in the imperial village." ”

Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Xue Yuan didn't want to follow, firstly, if he left, there was no one in the capital, and secondly, Zhenguo Gong had never dealt with him, and when he woke up, he saw that it was another dispute. She is a vigorous and resolute person, without saying a word, let people prepare horses, the military camp of the Zhenguo Gong Drill is not close to Huangzhuang, and it can be arrived in half a day on a fast horse.

At this time, it was morning, Jiang You wanted to rush over before dark, and immediately went out of Zhuangzi, wanting to ride a horse, but was forced into a carriage made of fine iron by Xue Yuan, he instructed his subordinates, and said to Jiang You: "The emperor went to such a far place for the first time, be careful on the road, and come back quickly if you encounter something wrong." He lightly buckled the carriage of fine iron: "This carriage is made of a strong structure, it is invulnerable, it can withstand heavy blows without falling, you sit in it safely, and don't come out if you have anything to do." ”

Jiang You didn't expect him to have a tendency to be an old mother, so he nodded with a headache, where can there be any disasters in the peaceful and prosperous world?

Xue Yuan saw that she was impatient, raised her eyebrows quietly, turned around to leave, and was suddenly stopped by her softly, she coughed uncomfortably on her face: "Palm print" Xue Yuan stood in place and looked at her, she had never been a mother-in-law, at this time, she rarely showed hesitation, and pulled his sleeve slowly, without words: "Did you say that my uncle was poisoned?" ”

Xue Yuan looked at her silently for a long time: "Didn't the emperor know when he went?" ”

Jiang You was used to staying by his side, and he was going to leave him for a few days for the first time, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, but he didn't expect to touch a soft nail, and he was about to sit back in the carriage, when he held his hand and kissed him on the lips: "The emperor came back earlier." ”

Jiang You's face flushed, and he smirked at him a few times without embarrassment and sat back in the car. She went to treat Zhen Guogong this time, in addition to bringing the imperial doctor and all kinds of medicinal materials, she was accompanied by hundreds of guards, and the group was fully equipped, so she didn't have anything to worry about.

After walking for two hours in a row, when she reached an extremely steep and narrow mountain road, she opened the curtain and looked out, looking at the cliff not far away, and said: "We have brought so many people and horses, this kind of road is really not easy to walk." ”

Ma Cheng smiled outside the car: "Isn't it? Fortunately, there is only one such steep road along the way, and it is smooth when you walk past. ”

Jiang You nodded, and was about to ask how long there was still to go, when he heard a few rumbling sounds of the cliff above his head, as if something extremely heavy was moving, and then he saw more than a dozen boulders falling straight down from the hillside.

Everyone who was smashed this time was caught off guard, the mountain road was already narrow and difficult to dodge, not to mention that everyone was riding horses, and more than a dozen were killed and injured at once, and then as soon as the horse was frightened, he immediately neighed, and several of them were uncontrollable, and fell straight down the cliff with their masters.

Jiang You felt a shock to the body, and shook from side to side a few times, but fortunately, the chassis of the carriage made of fine iron was stable, although it shook violently, it did not fall to one side, she grabbed the door hard, and asked loudly; "What's going on?!"

The guards not far in front of her were about to answer, when a masked Assassin jumped down from the cliff and struck him with a sword, and before he died, he slashed at the assassin's neck and shouted, "Assassin, go back!" ”

There were two drops of warm blood still splashed on her face, she was so angry that her fists trembled, she returned to the carriage and picked up a short sword and was about to go out, Ma Cheng had been serving her for a long time, and when she saw the appearance of this little ancestor, she knew that she had committed a donkey, and she hurriedly opened her arms to block the car door tightly: "There are assassins, you can't go out, otherwise these guards will die in vain!" ”

Jiang You's face turned pale with anger, and he was about to answer, when he saw that in the gap of the cliff, dozens of crossbows shot in succession, Ma Cheng screamed, and hurriedly rolled away, just like that, he was also hit by an arrow.

She also retracted into the car with great reflex, and for a moment the sound of 'tuk tuk' was incessant, and the iron carriage was full of sharp protruding dots, and then the carriage shook again, and the frightened horse pulled straight towards the cliff

Under the mountain road, there is a mighty team of nearly 1,000 people is moving forward without hurry, among the team is a very luxurious carriage, at this time the curtain embroidered with gold thread is gently lifted, most of the body of the car is hidden in the shadows, only the golden python on the knee is shining, his two white and slender hands like jade carvings are folded on the knees, that is, motionless, but also makes people feel picturesque, quiet and beautiful indescribable.

A woman in pink knelt in front of the car and cried with vinegar: "Lord, you have to be the master of the concubine, if someone hadn't interceded at that time, the person surnamed Xue would have killed the concubine." She wiped her tears with a silk and cried like a pear blossom beaten by a torrential rain: "The concubine is not afraid of suffering from some flesh and skin, but the concubine is the person you sent over, if he really beats me to death, won't it hurt your face?" ”

King Linchuan sat in the car, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he suddenly laughed lightly: "I wanted to see if he really didn't expect him to send people back directly, young Mu Ai, ignoring women to this point, even if he is not a real eunuch, I am afraid that it will not be far away." He raised his hand and beckoned, "Come near." ”

The woman in pink hurriedly moved to his car, and her body was about to slide into her arms as soon as she fell, but he avoided it quietly, although the king of Linchuan is a beauty, but he also has a very high vision for women, not ordinary vulgar fans can get into the eyes, she also knows this, her face is a little embarrassed, but she still cautiously took a few steps back.

King Linchuan clasped the handle of the pot and refilled some tea for himself: "Have you seen others?" What is the appearance of bearing? Or did they send you back without saying a word? ”

The pink-clothed woman's face was even more embarrassed, she bit her lower lip and nodded, and hurriedly defended: "That Xue Yuan really seems to be unmoved by women, but it's me, and he didn't even look at our sisters." ”

King Linchuan sighed softly, and pressed the floating tea with the lid of the bowl: "In vain, I carefully selected a number of Jiangnan people before I left, and sent them to Beijing quickly, he is really not afraid of offending me." As if he thought of something, he smiled slightly: "It's a rebellious one, since you can't accept it, you can only make a move." ”

The woman in pink didn't understand what he said, so she just blindly greeted him: "The prince is too much to promote him, he is just a eunuch, how can he compare with you, if you want to rectify him, it is just a matter of raising your hand." ”

King Linchuan sneered, if a woman has no brains, no matter how beautiful she looks, it is in vain, he was about to call someone to drag her down, when he saw a jade ring hanging from her waist, and his eyes were fixed: "Where did you get this jade ring?" ”

The woman in pink listened to his question, reluctantly rubbed it in her hand a few times, but still untied it and handed it to him: "Back to the prince's words, this is a handsome little boy who gave a reward to the concubine, and he saw that the concubine was frightened, so he took this off from his waist and gave it to the concubine." ”

King Linchuan rubbed his fingertips for a while, and then stared at the dragon tattoo on it: "The dragon pattern is not something that anyone can use, and the person who rewarded you with the jade ring is not a little boy." ”

He closed his eyes slightly, there are not many princes in the capital, and this jade pendant is the carving skill of the craftsmen in the palace, I am afraid that the only one who can use this is the one in the imperial city, and the little emperor is so close to Xue Yuan, which is really unexpected by him. He opened his eyes and was about to speak, when he heard the pathfinder in front of him hurriedly running over, kneeling in front of the car and shouting: "Lord Wang, there is a team of people and horses in front of you who have been attacked, and they have raised flags to ask us for help!" ”
