Chapter Twenty-Six: Before Riding and Shooting

"You ......" Xu Xuan was angry: "Zi Fei Fish, how do you know the joy of fish?" ”

"If it's not me, how do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?" Yang Shi replied.

"The purpose of the policy essay is to clarify the outline and make suggestions, and those words that are acupuncture and disadvantageous are the complaints of rotten old students after tea and dinner, what are the achievements?" Xu Xuan began to target obviously.

……

"Okay, two!" Yuan Xin stopped Yang Shi, who was just about to speak out, and then said, "These two sons' articles have their own merits, so you should consider a grade first, plus a few others, Jingshi, the game, oh, and the riding archery haven't been tested yet?" After the final competition, all the results will be comprehensive, and it will be clear who is superior and who is inferior, and we will report the final candidate to Tsukasa, so that there is a certain number. ”

"Yes—the lower officials will do it!"

Seeing that Yuan Xin had spoken, the other officials didn't seem to have any opinions. He watched the two groups of people quarrel again, and he couldn't figure it out by himself, so he simply didn't recognize anyone, and directly let Yuwen Hu settle down!

At this time, Yuan Xin put down the exam paper in his hand, continued to look at the long table, and asked, "My Da Zhou sent letters of state to the surrounding countries to invite them to compete together, what is the situation of the sons of various countries?" Don't be lazy! ”

"The Great Zhou Weather is grand and all-encompassing, and we are the masters, how can we be slow guests? The conditions of the sons of various countries have also been carefully selected, and the existing Qi Yu Gongzi of Qi State, Chen Rui Gongzi of Chen State are all first-class, Tuyuhun He Gongzi, and Turkic Kenaduo, it's okay. When Xu Xuan mentioned the Turks, he said very reluctantly.

Yuan Xin nodded and continued to ask, "When will the riding and archery competition start?" ”

Yang Shi replied: "It is scheduled to compete in the Lishan paddock in three days. ”

Yuan Xin nodded again, left without saying anything, and left a group of people to continue......

At night, the candlelight swayed, a gust of breeze came, and the figure under the candlelight swayed with the wind, like a floating frame in the wind, cruising uncertainly.

In the candlelight, the thin body, pale face, and long hair that was spread out, no matter how you look at it, this is not a very healthy person, but this person who is not so energetic, his right hand seems to use all his strength to really pinch the string of prayer beads, as if to crush it.

Sheng Feng and Jiang Lei outside the door saw this and knew who he was worried about, but they just looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed, and couldn't do anything, at this time, the two heard footsteps outside the door, and it turned out that Uncle Tian was back. Lan Jun in the room sat up abruptly and greeted him, and asked, "Uncle Tian, you're back, do you have anything to discover?" ”

Uncle Tian shook his head and said, "Murong Mansion and the palace have come to report, Princess Qingshi and Princess Yiyue have no abnormalities in their bodies, and their diet and daily life are the same as usual......

Lan Jun listened, sighed, his brows locked deeper, his face was very ugly, he silently dragged his heavy body back to the seat, and after a while, he seemed to say to himself in a low voice: "They must have used chronic poison, calculated the time, and waited for the day of the move, waiting for the enemy to make another move, it was really passive, heavy, that is Qingshi......"

Seeing the helper's face pale and trembling all around, the Jiang brothers and Uncle Tian were also gloomy, all these years, no matter what happened, as long as they went to the helper, they could solve it and be calm. is the only Qingshi, he is always so careful and concerned.

"Helper, the sons of various countries are going to go to the Lishan paddock to compete in the day after tomorrow, will they do it there. Because then the princess will also be gone! Uncle Tian guessed.

"Will Qingshi end?" Lan Jun muttered.

Immediately, Lan Jun nodded, shook his head again, and said, "We will also go to the paddock tomorrow morning to prepare the car."

"Yes" Tian nodded, and then said, "Helper, you better stop thinking nonsense, and rest early!" ”

Today is destined to be a lively day, because before dawn, more than half of the mansions of the princes and nobles in Chang'an City have begun to be busy.

Because the owner of the mansion or the young master gets up and freshens up.

But there is one mansion where everything is as usual, and it seems to have nothing to do with everything today.

That is Murong Mansion. As usual, the princess sat up from her bed at this time, meditated and breathed for a while, and then came to the dresser.

As soon as Qing Shi sat down in front of the dressing table, she heard a banging on the door outside. Qingshi instructed the maid Chunyang: "You go and open the door, it should be Qingshan."

As soon as Chunyang opened the door, Qingshan hurriedly rushed in, and when he saw that his sister had not yet dressed up, he said in surprise: "Sister! Why haven't you freshened up yet? ”

Qing Shi took the comb, did not turn around, but turned to the mirror and scolded Qingshan: "It's getting more and more unruly!" Rush in! ”

Qingshan seemed to have been poured cold water, and then smiled while saluting, and said: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, may Her Royal Highness the Princess stay forever, beautiful as a fairy......"

Qing Shiwaner handed the comb to Chunyang, and said lightly: "Is there any difference between today and the past?" ”

"Of course it's different!" Qingshan stepped forward and said: "Tomorrow is going to hunt the ground, and today I have to rush to Lishan, the history, the game, and the strategy are all over, plus this last competition, isn't it probably clear who my sister will be?" ”

"What? Are you in such a hurry to marry me off, hoping that no one will control you in the future, right? Qing Shi sneered slightly.

"That can't! I have to take good care of my sister, don't come to our Murong family with anyone who fishes in troubled waters. Qingshan immediately denied it, and then said with a little hesitation: "It's just ......"

"But what? Slurred? Qingshi asked.

"It's just that sister, you are married, it is the intention of Your Majesty and Tsukazai......" Qingshan said slowly.

The room suddenly fell silent, and the comb in Chunyang's hand stopped moving......

It seemed to be quiet for a long time, and Qing Shi said without any expression: "Since there is a will for this princess to marry, then this princess will obey the will." Chunyang, go and bring me my uniform. ”

Chunyang hurriedly put down the comb and went to find it.

Then Qingshi said to Qingshan: "You can also go and prepare, let Dazhu inform the Spring Palace, and say that I will also arrive,"

"Yes—then sister, you dress up first." Aoyama went out in a huff.

Qing Shi looked at her face in the mirror, and two lines of tears slid across her beautiful face and landed on the placket of her clothes......

The driver of the Spring Palace was already waiting outside the gate of the house, and Qing Shi was riding a horse every day, but now it was not as good as in the past, so he had to get into the carriage in a military uniform, and Qingshan was also dressed in a military uniform, riding a horse in front.

As soon as I walked out of the intersection, I saw a person waiting on the side of the road. This man is dressed simply and has extraordinary equipment. When Aoyama approached, he saw that it was an acquaintance.

"Brother Qi Yu! Why are you here? Are you waiting for us? Aoyama asked.

Qi Yu immediately arched his hand and said: "Brother Qingshan, there is indeed something here, I want to inform Brother Qingshan of Her Royal Highness the Princess, please move!" ”

"Good!" Qingshan understood, and said to Qing Shi in the car: "Sister, you are waiting for me for a while, Brother Qi Yu and I have a few words to say." After speaking, he motioned to Qi Yu, and the two walked forward together.

After a while, Aoyama came over quickly on horseback, came to the front of the car, flew off his horse, handed over his horse to the subordinate general Dazhu, got into his sister's carriage, and then ordered everyone to continue on their way.

As soon as I got out of the city, I met the carriage and horse of Lan Jun of the Great Zhou Dynasty who went to Lishan to watch the ceremony, and the companions were naturally indispensable Duguzhen and Yu Wenruo. However, Lan Jun did not get out of the car to meet him, but just followed silently in the rear. However, Qingshan and Dugu shook them, and they had already come together.

In the evening, Qing Shi and Lan Jun's carriage and horses arrived at the camp in Lishan successively, and after Lan Jun got out of the car, he stood beside the car and quietly watched Qing Shi walk into the big tent before going to his own place.

Early the next morning, when Lan Jun arrived at the bottom of the viewing platform, the audience was already bustling. In the open space in the middle, there is already a team of people and horses gathered, look at the horses are strong, neighing loudly, and then look at the people on the horse, with military uniforms on the body, strong bows on their backs, all of them have strong heads and horns, and dragons and phoenixes among people! They are the protagonists of today, the sons who participated in the riding and archery competition.

On the stage, the great sect Bo Yuanxin sat high in it, and on the side was Qincheng, who was on the back of a tiger. After a while, Doctor Yang Shi looked at the hour, and then stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Uncle Qiqi, the time has come, you can start." ”

Yuan Xin nodded, exchanged glances with Qin Cheng on the side, and then got up slowly, and said to the following: "Let's start!" ”

After hearing this, Doctor Yang Shi announced loudly: "The auspicious time is coming, the competition begins, first of all, please put away the arrows distributed, each son will have fifty arrows with the same number, each arrow has a number, each son's number is different, at that time, there will be the Royal Forest Army according to the arrows on the prey, to supervise and count the number of prey captured by the princes!" Before sunset, you must rush back to this place, otherwise the competition will be invalid! ”

The sons in the audience all picked up their arrows, and sure enough, they saw that the shafts of the arrows were engraved with numbers and dyed with red paint.

At this time, the Turkic Kenado looked at his arrow, which read "Xin Chou", immediately pursed his lips and shouted to the crowd: "What about Jiazi? Who took the arrows of the Jiazi? Who is it? ”

Everyone looked at Kenado, but he didn't care, and continued to shout.

"The Turkic son of Konador!" Yang Shi shouted: "Don't look for the son, the arrow of the Jiazi is reserved for the princess." ”

Hearing that it was reserved for the princess, Kenado stopped shouting, but looked towards the right side of the viewing platform - Qingshi was riding a white horse, dressed in military uniform, wearing a silver helmet and hairpin, and masked with plain veil, like the goddess of war above the nine heavens, like Lingyun. At this moment, almost all eyes are on this beautiful figure, but in Qing Shi's eyes, there are only mountains and rivers and white clouds.
