The little fat man lost his voice and said, "How do you know?" He is indeed as Guan Zhong thinks, although he is not afraid of offending the princess, but he will always bring some trouble to the family, so as soon as he recognizes Guan Zhong, he has the intention of taking him to the top.

Guan Zhong closed his eyes and said, "Tian Sandao broke my identity, but the woman behind me dared to sneak attack me." Say, who is she? He opened his eyes and glared at the little fat man. It's just that the voice is still calm.

The little fat man said weakly: "It's not anyone, it's just what ......"

"What?" Guan Zhong asked.

"Princess ......"

There are a total of four princesses in Daqi today, the most noble is of course Tian Qiniang's own Mrs. Mu, the second princess is Princess Heyang, who has married someone else, and the fourth princess is said to have a heavy body and cannot leave the palace. There is only Princess Shanyang left who is born from Princess Heyang's mother.

Guan Zhong recalled the appearance of the woman holding the Emei thorn who wanted to slap someone in a hurry, as well as the resentful eyes, and couldn't help but be secretly refreshed. Originally, I regretted that I couldn't make a golden branch and jade leaf, but now I finally got what I wanted, which is really refreshing. The only fly in the ointment is that I don't know when I fight, which affects the senses.

But his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

The little fat man really thought he was angry, stood up and bowed deeply to apologize: "Brother, the little brother had to send an arrow at that time." Besides, if the younger brother is not guilty, can he suffer this injury? The younger brother swore to the heavens that there would be no next time. "The attitude is very sincere.

Guan Zhong raised his eyelids and snorted, "Don't take it as an example." ”

The little fat man was overjoyed, bowed, and grateful.

The two drank again, and only then did they get up and go downstairs when they saw that the sun was going west. When it came to the account, the little fat man rushed to settle the account, and he was afraid that Guan Zhong would compete with him, so he separated Guan Zhong from the counter, and said: "Next time my brother will please, next time my brother will please." ”

Guan Zhong didn't shirk either, he looked at him for a long time, and when he finished paying the bill, he smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have any on me." ”

The little fat man's smiling face suddenly fell, and he said helplessly: "Okay, let's settle it." ”

Guan Zhong pounded his chest and chuckled: "You are good, I Guan Zhong recognizes you as a friend." After saying that, he didn't care about him, turned around and left.

The little fat man stayed for a long time before he came back to his senses and pouted, "Who is rare." After speaking, he pulled his legs and followed behind Guan Zhong's ass and said loudly: "Brother, brother, junior brother invites you to go to Yudai River to play in the evening." ”

Guan Zhong didn't go to the Yudai River in the end, but only agreed with the little fat man to swim the Yudai River together next time, so he got into a brand-new carriage and went away with Yao'er.

……

On the rocking carriage, Yao'er knew the true background of this Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong is the only son of Guan Bo, the prime minister of Great Qi, if he is only in this capacity, he would not dare to be so arrogant. It turns out that Guan Zhong has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and he often has amazing behaviors, in the words of the old man, he is a little deviant.

When he was five years old, Zhang Yihe, the contemporary head of the Zongheng School, was fortunate enough to have the true inheritance of the Zongheng family. When this Zhang Yihe traveled in Qi Kingdom, Tian Qiniang happened to be in trouble, and this Zhang Yihe had a life-saving grace for her.

Tian Qiniang didn't have time to repay her, and this Zhang Yihe would return to heaven, so this love was counted on Guan Zhong. After Tian Qiniang ascended the throne, he accepted Zhong as his righteous son and was named Enyibo, who was very favored by Tian Qiniang.

In addition to having this relationship, this Guan Zhong himself is also outstanding, using the doctrine of vertical and horizontal, combining vertical and horizontal, and successively sent envoys to Qin, Yan, and Chu, the overlord vassal states, and he has been studying in Chu for five years, and now he has just returned to China.

During this period, he was entrusted with important responsibilities by Tian Qiniang, and it is commonly said that he now holds the real power of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture of Qi State.

His purpose in inviting Yao'er this time is also very simple, hoping that Yao'er will go to the Ministry of Culture to work.

Yao'er was thinking about how to shorten the distance with Na Pei, but she didn't expect someone to send her an opportunity, so there was no reason not to agree.

……

In the evening, Yu Qi's house was very lively.

The door of the house has been closed, but many people in the house did not go back to their homes immediately, and there were people everywhere inside and outside Yu Qi's house, and no one cared about the noisy. Because there are many people present, who else cares about the ban?

Tian Yaoyao's face was red, and he desperately raised his voice to suppress the various noises in the room: Hey! I'll just say it! I'll just say it! Thanks to the fact that I found a Taoist priest to set up an altar, the feng shui in our workshop has become better. You see, Brother Yu'er has become a forbidden army!

The eldest lady smiled and said: Su Fangzheng, you can get it. Brother Yu just said that it was thanks to the help of Master Mu of Baimaguan that they had the opportunity to join the forbidden army. This is the credit of the Lord, what is the matter with the Taoist priest?

Su Fangzheng said unconvinced: Feng Shui is said to be mysterious and mysterious, and you don't understand it. How much mess did you say happened in our workshop a few days ago? If it weren't for the fact that the workshop was decisively inviting a Taoist priest to set up an altar to cast spells, which changed the feng shui luck of the workshop, how could this child meet a nobleman?

A farmer said with a smile: No matter what the reason, in short, the children in our workshop have this kind of great talent, which is a great thing.

Yu Qiniang said: What the old brother said is, no matter what you say, this is a festive thing, and you have to thank the big guys. My family Yu'er has finally come out, and his grandfather will be happy under Jiuquan......

Yu Qiniang couldn't help wiping her tears, and everyone was comforted when they saw it.

Many Fang Ding and Wuhou who were familiar with Yu Qi crowded around them, looking enviously at his heroic forbidden army uniform. After being sent by Yao'er, Xiao Qianyue, who had just become a fangding, touched the different uniforms of Tiannuo and Yu Qi, and said curiously: Brother Tiannuo, how is your military uniform different from Brother Yu'er, and what official positions do you hold in the forbidden army?

Tiannuo Dao: All new recruits must start from scratch, and no one can be an official directly. Not because I made a contribution to the Keju competition, the king was very happy, so he was exceptionally promoted and appointed as the head of the team.

Xiao Qianyue said again: I heard that the forbidden army has sixteen guards and horses, which guard are you?

Tiannuo Dao: I am now in Jinwuwei, and Brother Qiao chose Long Wujun. The Long Wu Army is full of cavalry, and although they are now soldiers, they have many opportunities to get ahead.

Yu Qi said loudly: Brothers, don't worry, this time I enlist in the army, I will definitely practice riding and archery hard, and come back with a great military merit in the future!

Zhongfang Ding Wuhou coaxed him repeatedly, wishing him to become a general as soon as possible, Yu Qi smiled and waved frequently, as if he had become a general.

Ning Xiaozhuo came late, after she closed the stall, she was busy for a while, and put the noodles to be used the next morning and put them on the kang head to wake up, and then she came to Yu Qi's house, and before she entered the door, she saw that the Ma family was not hot, and even the yard was full of people.

At that time, Her Royal Highness the princess passed the ball to Yao'er, who ......

Yes! Princess?

Of course, don't interrupt. Then...... ・Where did I go?

Ning Xiaozhuo couldn't help but purse his lips and smile when he heard this.

There was an extra lamp in the room, and the light was still bright, although the crowd shook the light a little flickering, but he could still be seen clearly.

Yu Qi was wearing a red battle jacket, covered with half-body leather armor, wearing a helmet with rolled ears, and a pair of earthy yellow fat-legged pants, which were tightly tucked into the combat boots. On closer inspection, he seems to be a little thinner and darker than before.

But the biggest change is not this outside, but something that comes out of his bones. As usual, he was boasting to his partners, but Ning Xiaozhuo could see that he had a different temperament from before, and his eyes seemed to be much clearer and brighter.

His chin was faintly stubble, not yet the age of the beard, and it was not cleanly shaved, but it also had a bit of a mature man's smell because of it. Ning Xiaozhuo's gaze slipped over the moving chin, and then moved to his mouth, and suddenly his body was hot, and even the roots of his ears were hot.

Before, this was unthinkable, she treated Yu Qi as a brother, never as a man, even if he held his hand, or touched his body when he was fighting, he didn't feel anything at all, but this time......

Yu Qibi said with a gesture, turning his head to this side.

Ning Xiaozhuo's heart jumped, he was a little afraid of being seen by him, so he hurriedly lowered his head and squeezed into the crowd of people around his mother...

It was late at night.

"Send Xiao Ning and her mother." Because the two families have always been on good terms, after sending the other guests away, Yu Qiniang ordered to send them away.

"I ...... I won't go, Sister Ning, I'll see you tomorrow. Yao'er wanted to send it together, but when she saw Ning Xiaozhuo hiding half of her body behind her mother, she was quite different from her usual hearty and generous appearance, and she actually showed the shyness of some children, and her heart couldn't help but move, and she wanted to say: I'll go too! But it was temporarily replaced by not going.

Ning Xiaozhuo was certainly apprehensive in his heart, Yu Qi thought that his mind was also a little cramped and uneasy, the two of them walked side by side behind the two old men, their hearts beating gently, and they both lowered their heads to look at the frosty ground, not knowing what to say.

Sometimes, they will tilt their heads slightly and sneak a glance at the person next to them, if the other party happens to look at him, the eyes will touch and quickly dodge, the feeling of shyness and timidity is something they have never experienced in each other before, and it is difficult to understand for a while.

Turning the road in front, I arrived at home, the first one at the adjacent intersection, stopped, his eyes drooped, and he said to Yu Qidao slightly shyly: Okay, you should go back and rest, Ming'er gets up early, and you have to go to the army to report, don't be late.

Well! That...... I went back.

Yu Qi stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the placket of the military uniform, and made a gesture to leave.

Ning Xiaozhuo saw his cramped appearance, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, and said softly: You, you really look like a human now. After becoming a forbidden army, I jumped out of this small circle from then on, worked hard, made contributions in the future, became a general, and then came back in a beautiful way to ask me to take a look.

Yu Qi snorted and said: To be a general, there are also people who became generals at a young age, but they are all children of wealthy families. Those of us who came from a humble family, unless we make great contributions, even if we are lucky, I am afraid that when I become a general, I will be seventy or eighty, will you still come to see me at that time?

Ning Xiaozhuo said: If you come back, I will go to see it, what is there at seventy or eighty? Unless you think I was ugly then.

Yu Qi blurted out: How come, even if you grow to eighty years old, Xiao Ning is still Xiao Ning, and she is still so good-looking.

A faint flush appeared on Ning Xiaozhuo's face, and he said lightly: Nonsense, then I won't be an old goblin?

Looking at her delicate and touching appearance, Yu Qi suddenly had a feeling of wanting to kiss her.

Born from the heart, his impulse suddenly revealed from his eyes, Ning Xiaozhuo faintly noticed, her face was slightly up, her eyes widened slightly, and the blurred brilliance in her eyes was expectation, surprise or fear, even she couldn't tell.

Yu Qi's head lowered slightly......

Xiao Ning, you......

At this moment, the eldest lady came out of the corner in a hurry, and saw Yu Qi leaning over to kiss and Ning Xiaozhuo looking up to greet her.

Yu Qi and Ning Xiaozhuo quickly straightened up, looked at her in a panic and said, "Auntie......

Oh...... Oh! Xiao Ning, it's not early, let's go back and rest early.

People are old and fine, her mother was only slightly stunned, and quickly returned to normal, as if she hadn't seen such a scene at all, Ning Xiaozhuo blushed and agreed, and her mother turned around and walked away. As soon as she walked around the corner, her mother quickened her pace, rushed back to the gate of Yu's house quickly, and shouted in a suppressed voice: I said old sister, old sister, come out quickly......

After this interruption, Yu Qi and Ning Xiaozhuo simply chatted a few more words, and Ning Xiaozhuo ran home as if he had escaped.

Yu Qi walked all the way back, thinking repeatedly in his heart: Xiao Ning ......, she is actually very handsome, diligent and capable, a good woman, if I can really marry her as a lady......

In the night, a figure stood quietly under the corner of the wall, and when he saw Yu Qi coming back, the figure pasted it to the wall again, and Yu Qi didn't realize it, and stepped into the courtyard......
