Twenty-three. Fanwang

With a bang, the big man slammed Qin Nanxi to the ground like a burden. She fell face down in the snow, eating her mouth full of cold snow particles, her elbows and knees that supported her body sank into the snow, and the bones in her body were as painful and stiff as if they had been broken, and she couldn't move for half a day.

"You're a reader?" A strange-pitched vocal cavity slammed into the head.

Raising his head, Qin Nanxi realized that he had been brought to a large tent with gorgeous colored felt. A burly, dark figure was coming out of the tent. The visitor was dressed in luxury, with a sable inlaid leather hat on his head, a large robe wrapped in gold silk and brocade otter skin, and a pair of riding boots with half-legged high boots decorated with five-colored silk embroidery and colorful agate.

"You, a scholar? What books have you read? The burly figure pressed to the top of Qin Nanxi's head, and there was already some impatience in the strange voice.

Qin Nanxi nodded, raised his face and squared him.

"Bee Zhun, long eyes, birds and eagles, jackals, ......" This sentence flashed in Qin Nanxi's mind between the electric lights and flints, and the dark figure in front of him really responded to this description.

"Okay, this king likes you Central Plains readers! Go and write your name and show it to the king. ”

"King? He's the King of the North! Qin Nanxi was really shocked, before he could come back to his senses, the rope in his hand had been untied, and someone brought a small case to him, with paper, ink, pen and inkstone, listing them one by one.

"Write." The sound of the command in my ears was unmistakable.

Qin Nanxi struggled to bend his stiff fingers, picked up the pen, and wrote the words "Su Jiu" on the snow-white paper. As soon as she stopped writing, a big man with rough hands and feet took the paper from her pen and held it in front of the king.

The king pinched the thin piece of paper, carefully looked at it, the smile on his face was like a treasure dug up by a wealth fan, looked at it for a long time, and praised it with satisfaction: "Good, a good word, strong bones, awe-inspiring spirit, the little boy can write such a stroke at a young age, and the sage book must be read better." ”

"What do you read on weekdays?" Fan Wang continued to ponder the two words on the paper, and then asked.

"Naturally, I have read some of the four books and five classics, but I dare not pretend to be familiar with the books of the sages." Qin Nanxi gritted her teeth to bear the pain on her left shoulder, knelt on the ground straight, raised her chin and replied coldly.

"Good, good! Well-read, but not rigid, this is the best! As soon as the king's voice fell, the smile on his face suddenly froze, his eyebrows twisted, he turned his head and stared at Qin Nanxi, and it took a long time for a cold question to emerge from between his teeth: "Since your surname is Su, can it be related to the Su family in Wuxi?" ”

Hearing his question, Qin Nanxi's hands hidden in his sleeves unconsciously clenched tighter. Wuxi Su family is the ancestral home of Mr. Su Changqing. At that time, Wuxi Su Changqing and Suzhou Qin Zi'an were famous all over the world, and the two great Jiangnan talents stood side by side, which once made Confucian students all over the world flock to it. She is Qin Zi'an's biological daughter, and she was raised by Mr. Su, since this king knows the Su Tan family, he has to be more careful and careful.

Naturally, the king didn't know that Qin Nanxi's mind had flown back and forth for a while, and he only squinted at her carefully, waiting for her to reply very patiently.

Qin Nanxi settled his mind, raised his spirit, straightened up, shook his head calmly, and responded without humility or arrogance: "Xiaosheng is a native of Chang'an, his ancestral home is Chang'an, and the scholars of the poor family dare not climb the Su family in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"Bold fanatics, replying is neither polite nor respectful, do you know who is in front of you?" A sharp question snatched from behind the king.

Turning around, Qin Nanxi saw a person who looked like a scholar from the Central Plains in a green shirt and scarf, standing beside the king with respectful eyebrows.

Only glanced at the scholar, Qin Nanxi sneered mixed with disdainful "Hmph." In response to him, he turned his eyes away and ignored him.

"Mr. Li doesn't have to care." King Fan raised his hand to stop the man in green shirts, and received: "You Central Plains scholars are stubborn, but you don't know that foolish loyalty is the pearl secret investment." There is a way that good birds choose trees to perch, and those who know the times are handsome. Since this Su Gongzi has arrived under the command of this king, this king will naturally treat him with courtesy, and I believe that over time, Su Gongzi will treat this king with sincerity like a gentleman. ”

"Xiaosheng was just sold to the king as a slave, and he was just a useless scholar, so he didn't need the king to bother, but he was afraid that Xiaosheng would not be able to repay him." Although Qin Nanxi is a girl, she has been taught and nurtured by Su Changqing's side since she was a child, even if she has no intention of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, she will not be afraid of death to join the enemy.

"Useless? Ha ha. This is a mistake, Su Gongzi is a scholar, so he naturally knows better than this king. In the past thousand years, in which of your Central Plains dynasties has there been a lack of scholars? In which melee was the scholar in the tent missing? Which of the founding heroes of the Central Plains did not have a group of thinkers behind him? This king only admires the civilization of the Central Plains wholeheartedly, and has the intention to teach my children of Dadi with the Chinese civilization, so he is eager to seek talents. I also hope that Su Gongzi will leave behind those clichΓ©s of 'not my race', teach the children of my clan what he has learned in his life, and spread Chinese civilization to Dadi. Since then, the Great Chu and the Great Di have gone hand in hand, respecting each other like guests, isn't it a good thing for the benefit of the world? While talking, the king slowly paced in front of Qin Nanxi, and reached out a big hand to help her up from the ground.

"Su Gongzi doesn't need to be anxious, he can live by the king's side with peace of mind, and after a long time, Su Gongzi is naturally the same as me at the beginning, and he is grateful to the king for his kindness." The scholar surnamed Li on the side interjected on the side again. Although his words were said to Qin Nanxi, his body bowed to the king, and his face was full of flattery.

Qin Nanxi gently withdrew his hand, stood up straight calmly, and looked at the king calmly, noncommittal.

"Heh, hehe, Mr. Li is reasonable, and he has seen people's hearts for a long time. Neither this king nor Su Gongzi need to be in a hurry. "It seems that the king is indeed eager for talent, and is determined not to let go of any scholar.

A moment ago, Qin Nanxi was still afraid that he would be reduced to Beifan as a slave in this life, but in a blink of an eye, he was courteous to the king. The situation of the world is indeed difficult to speculate, once it comes, it will be safe, Qin Nanxi thought about it for a while, and decided not to say more, stay by the king's side for the time being, and then find an opportunity to escape.

"A few of the children under the command of this king are now hunting not far away, why don't you go and watch with Su Gongzi and this king?" The king was very polite, and his tone was gentle and he said to Qin Nanxi, who was thinking about it.

Qin Nanxi had no choice but to nod and follow him towards the paddock.

The world in front of you is white, and the snow fields are endless. In the distance, there is a dead forest, several horses are rampage in the forest, and in the distance outside the forest, a few cases are set up on the ground, and the wine and food have been prepared.

Looking down at the strange food that she didn't recognize at all, Qin Nanxi felt a huge hunger rush out from the depths of her body, and she heard the galloping of thousands of horses in her stomach, "I'm just a woman, not a gentleman, besides, this food is only to save my life, I can only find a way to escape, and find a way to find Brother Xu again." ”

While explanating herself, she raised her hand and picked up a small lump of dark red meat on the plate, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it.

"Whoever of you shoots that red fox down today, this king will have a heavy reward!" The voice of the king beside him was like a bell, and Qin Nanxi, who was shocked, choked up, and looked up to see a group of fierce and strong Northern Fan warriors kneeling in front of him.

Yo roar~ The seven or eight samurai got the order, and they didn't see thanksgiving, so they jumped up and scrambled to jump on horseback, and with the chaotic sound of the horsewhip, a group of people went back to the dry forest.

Around the woods, the gongs and drums of the hunt rang out for a while, and the shouts suddenly became louder than before. The servants around King Fan also stretched their necks, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

In the distance, a small fiery red beast rushed out of the dead forest in a panic. The snow white and red beasts are extraordinarily distinct.

Suddenly, a short black shadow crossed the treetops, and with a "bang", it was nailed to the little fox.

The sound of human voices, gongs and drums stopped abruptly.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction where the little arrow had fired......
