Chapter 270: Boating

"So, you're asking me to help you win the bet?" Zhong Siye tried his best to suppress the twitching corners of his mouth.

An Ruolan nodded innocently, "It's my father-in-law who has gone too far, otherwise I wouldn't have stood up and spoken for him."

"Don't make excuses for your elbow to turn out." Zhong Siye raised the corners of his eyes.

An Ruolan shrunk her neck, pointed her finger pitifully, and said, "But I've already agreed, except for my father-in-law, I don't know who can help me."

"......" Zhong Siye covered his eyes, "Even if you sell cute, it's useless, I won't help you, you will go back to the Hou Mansion in two days, there will be no Yi Qi in the future, even if you lose, it's not a big deal."

Can it be said that it is worthy of a father and daughter, the idea of playing tricks is the same.

Coquettish, An Ruolan pursed her lips, resumed her dignified and calm posture, and said: "That father-in-law will stop bullying him indiscriminately in the future, he will bully the small with the big, and he will not be ashamed."

Zhong Siye pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Okay then." Anyway, it's almost a lesson.

The father and daughter make an agreement.

"That's right," Fourth Master Zhong suddenly spoke, and said, "I'm going to visit Boss Xie in Xie Mansion tomorrow, you clean up tonight, and I'll send you back to Hou Mansion tomorrow."

An Ruolan then remembered that he had been out for four or five days.

The days of leisure passed so fast that she forgot all the time.

"yes, got it." She replied in a low voice, and she didn't feel a little down.

Zhong Siye patted her head and comforted: "In the future, my father-in-law will find a chance to pick you up to play."

Suddenly, he shook off the folding fan, bent his eyes and smiled: "It's just that I don't know if I can see someone."

The little depression in my heart disappeared in an instant, and it was replaced by shame. An Ruolan snorted twice, blushed and ran away.

Back in the room, she immediately instructed the lark vulture to pack her luggage.

In the past few days, she is still living in the bamboo building inn, served by four joys and eight yuan, and I heard that she is going back to the Hou Mansion. Sixi and Bayuan are very reluctant, so let her stay more in the future.

These two maids, one is lively and the other is steady, An Ruolan has been with them for a while, and there is already a relationship between the master and the servant. She was also reluctant to think of separating.

After thinking about it, she said: "You don't have anything to do in Qianxunju, why don't you go back to the Hou Mansion with me, how about I go and ask my father-in-law to ask you for it?" Well...... It's just that there are more rules in the Hou Mansion. You can't come and go as you please, you may not be used to it."

Sixi and Bayuan glanced at each other, both hesitated, and Bayuan said: "Please also ask the young owner to let the slaves and maids think about it."

"It's nature." An Ruolan shook his head refreshed.

After explaining, she habitually went to the lake to watch Xiang Ye's military training, and in addition, she also wanted to tell the guard about leaving.

On the clear blue lake, four small boats form a square. Rippling between the blue waves, the warriors on the ship are all heroic and extraordinary. Facing the wind, one after another - jumping into the lake.

As soon as An Ruolan came over, what he saw was such a nonsensical picture.

Xiang Ye stood on the wooden boat near the pier with his hands in his hands, as straight as a pine, the whistle in his mouth kept ringing, and the people on the boat kept jumping.

Accustomed to such scenes. An Ruolan walked slowly to the dock and found a place to sit down.

Hear movement behind you. Xiang Ye turned around and glanced at her. Soon turned back again, during the period, did not forget to blow the bamboo whistle in his mouth.

An Ruolan propped up her chin and looked boredly at the various falling positions in front of her.

She had to admit that she was lonely and unheard, and after watching it for a few days, she didn't see what Uncle Xiang was exercising the ability of this group of people.

Suddenly, the whistle changed, from ease to rapid, and the group of people who were originally diving leisurely and leisurely immediately refreshed their spirits, and changed from jumping into the lake to jumping in line between the four boats.

Each boat was about three feet apart, and An Ruolan watched as they landed on the water, then flew into the air on tiptoe, and then fell to the water, and so on twice, and finally reached the opposite boat.

She knew that this was called light work, but she didn't understand how they borrowed strength in the water and stepped on the water to get up. There is a saying in the book that there is light power to float on the water, but are these people all capable of this?

An Ruolan was skeptical.

And isn't it strange to practice light skills in water warfare?

As soon as she thought this, someone accidentally fell into the lake, and in the stirring water, she saw wood looming on the water.

I see, she instantly understood that she had used wood to borrow power in the water.

The person who fell into the water quickly swam back to the boat, climbed into the boat and followed the back of the line to continue practicing, and then some people fell behind one after another, whenever this happened, Xiang Ye would take out a booklet and write down the name of the person who fell into the water.

In this cycle, a group of people flew around the four boats for more than half an hour, until no one fell into the water, Xiang Ye stopped the whistle and shouted: "All rest for a quarter of an hour!"

The moment the words fell, everyone cheered, and those who had just landed on the boat collapsed directly on the boat, and those who had just risen turned and fluttered into the water, causing a large splash.

For a while, there was laughter and scolding.

An Ruolan couldn't help laughing.

Xiang Ye rowed the boat back to the shore, jumped on the dock, and dragged An Ruolan, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "It's cold on the ground, be careful of the cold."

Although the action is rude, this kindness is useful.

An Ruolan grinned and asked the doubts in her heart, "Uncle Xiang, are you training their light skills?"

"Sort of." Item.[,!] Ye smiled and bowed, "Water warfare is not only about strategy and force, but also about the ability to survive, on the sea, soldiers are more likely to drown in the sea after the ship is sunk, rather than die under the enemy's sword."

An Ruolan's heart was shocked, and a wave of admiration arose in his heart, and he said excitedly: "Uncle Xiang hopes that even if they fall into the water in the sea and are in danger, they can save themselves, or even save people?"

Xiang Ye paused and said solemnly: "I just think it's too shameful to be drowned."

"......" An Ruolan only felt full of admiration for Fu Liushui.

"Hahaha!" Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Xiang Ye laughed heartily, patted her head and said, "Girl, although you are young, you think a lot."

"I'm an adult at heart." An Ruolan retorted indignantly in her heart.

Xiang Ye's expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "You are right, on the battlefield, the most important thing is to survive."

Having seen too much blood and death, victory is no longer his only pursuit.

An Ruolan looked at his resolute eyes dyed with pain, and couldn't help but think of the look of the previous life guard every time he went out on the expedition, and he was like this at that time.

In his previous life, Wei Xing often went on expeditions, and after marriage, they didn't spend much time together, and every time before rushing to the battlefield, he would sit silently beside her for a day and do nothing.

At that time, she didn't understand him, and always ignored him, but now that she thinks about it, he has a lot to say to her, the helplessness of the war, the grief of losing his comrades, and the fear of not knowing whether he can return.

She finally understood why Qin Yiqing was always so resistant to his expedition, and now her mood was the same.

A burst of sourness swelled up in her heart, she silently lowered her eyes, and asked uneasily, "Uncle Xiang, will you come back?"

Xiang Ye was slightly stunned, stroked the top of her head, and said solemnly: "Will come back, we will all come back."

We in his mouth, An Ruolan knows who is included.

A quarter of an hour was too short for the exhausted sixteen people to catch their breath, but while everyone was resting, the guards were still practicing water.

His efforts are seen by everyone, and although there are those who do not like him, they have to admire his persistence.

Seeing that he worked so hard, the rest of the people were not far behind, and they all gave up their rest time and plunged into the water to practice water.

At sea, the higher the ability to squeeze water, the better the chance of survival.

Xiang Ye looked at the scene on the lake, bowed his head with satisfaction, looked at the shadow floating in the water, and said with a smile: "Although that kid is annoying, he has a good foundation and is diligent enough, you can rest assured."

An Ruolan followed his line of sight, and just saw the guard torture drill out of the water, and in the splash that was stirred, the wheat-skinned teenager shone in the sun, making people unable to take their eyes off.

It must be an illusion, it's the waves that are too dazzling!

According to the pounding heartbeat, An Ruolan deceived herself.

Soon, the whistle sounded again, and the crowd, who were fluttering vigorously in the water, immediately climbed back to the boat and stood upright.

"Let's go, my father-in-law will take you to have a look." Xiang Ye patted An Ruolan on the shoulder, motioned for her to follow, and then strode onto the boat on the shore.

Hearing his self-proclaim, An Ruolan suddenly became playful, and pretended to be puzzled: "Why is Uncle Xiang a stepfather, not a stepmother?"

Xiang Ye's feet slipped and almost fell into the lake, and when he looked back and saw her evil smile, he said with a calm face: "The husband is not strong, the father is not strong, how can you boost the army!" Wait for me! The last four words popped out between my teeth.

jumped on the boat with Xiang Ye's support, and as soon as he stood firm, An Ruolan was stuffed with a piece of wood pulp in his hand, and Xiang Ye ordered without changing his face: "Paddle over."

Is this an opportunistic revenge?

So stingy! An Ruolan sighed indignantly in her heart, but she still carried out the task honestly.

So, everyone who was waiting for the battle saw the mighty General Xiang coming here in a slow boat, and the speed was comparable to that of a turtle crawling. When the ship approached, everyone realized that General Xiang had hired an unreliable boatman.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing An Ruolan rowing hard, a group of people burst into laughter without giving face.

An Ruolan's face was flushed, and he buried his head and muttered: "What are you laughing at, I haven't seen anyone rowing!"

As soon as she spoke, everyone laughed even more exaggeratedly, and they almost rolled on the ground.

Xiang Ye couldn't help laughing, pursing the corners of his mouth and trying his best to restrain himself from laughing.

Wei Xing couldn't laugh at all, he frowned, eager to snatch An Ruolan over and hide it so that this group of people wouldn't see it. (To be continued)
