There are a lot of things to be busy in Prince Yu's mansion, the most important thing is to handle the princess's funeral, and he is busy blocking the news, so no one knows when the gate of Jizhou City will be closed.

But the news should still be spread, because the person who wants to spread the news happens to be the one who has the right to block the city gates.

Blocking the six gates was the military garrison of Zeng Ling, the envoy of Jiedu, and it was very easy for him to arrange for people to leave Jizhou.

In fact, it's no wonder that Zeng Ling has some ideas, Prince Yu has a foundation relying on his Jizhou army, but he always feels that he wants to convince Zeng Ling, and he doesn't want Zeng Ling to be dominant, so he suppresses him twice from time to time.

What made Zeng Ling even more unacceptable was that for the sake of a few dogs in Yuwen's family, Prince Yu not only didn't have a good face for him, but even attacked his old subordinate Jiang Ran.

The death of the princess is of course not a good thing for Prince Yu, and it is possible to lose the support of the Yuwen family, but it is a good thing for Zeng Ling, because Prince Yu has to rely on him more.

It can be seen from Prince Yu's attitude that he has woken up to this, so he will hand over everything to Zeng Ling to deal with.

For Zeng Ling, he must let Prince Yu know very well who is the most important person to him, without Jizhou Army, without Zeng Ling, Prince Yu's grand dream is really just a dream.

In the restaurant lined up in Tsing Yi, Xiahou Zhuo glanced at Zeng Ling, then shook his head slightly and said, "You don't have to say anything, I won't go." ”

Zeng Ling sighed: "Between your father and son, why should you do this? Although it is said that the prince does have mistakes, you are a junior, so you must be more considerate of the difficulties of the elders. ”

He said tentatively: "The prince said that if you are willing to stay and help him, he will hand over the army to you to command, which no one else can ask for......

The other people in his words naturally referred to Prince Yu's other sons.

Xiahou Zhuo shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "It's okay, you can let him give it to those who ask for him." ”

He got up and said, "I'll be back in the north in two days, I just want to spend time with my mother and my sister in two days, and adults also know that my sister is back, and I don't want to be disappointed by other things." ”

He added: "I have a particularly bad temper, and whoever makes my mother unhappy, I will definitely make him even more unhappy." ”

Zeng Ling nodded and said, "I know, you just have to accompany your mother well, and I'll go to the prince to talk about other things." ”

Xiahou Zhuo clenched his fists: "Thank you, my lord." ”

He stepped out of the door, walked to the door and turned back and asked, "Why didn't he come and tell me himself?" ”

Zeng Ling said with a little embarrassment: "In the palace, after all, such a big thing has just happened, and you know the difficulties of the prince." ”

"Hmm......"

Xiahou Zhuo smiled, didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Zeng Ling looked at the back of Xiahou Zhuo's departure, and suddenly couldn't help but smile, he said to himself: "Lord Wang, this is really worth the loss, it's not good over there, it's not good here, it's really difficult." ”

That night, Xiahou Zhuo heard that Li Qi and they were going to the military treasury to move things, he thought it must be fun, so he decided that he would also go with him, but he had the conditions, and he would take it away when he moved out.

This trip has been going for many days, as long as they have time to go at night, no one on the arsenal side has checked the treasury until now, and the rot of the government can be seen.

Besides, Li Qi and they are not stupid, they are moving things from the inside to the outside, and the inside is already empty, but they can't see it from the outside, and they can't find it until they go to the deepest part of the warehouse.

The so-called empty means that the box is empty, but the empty box is still there, and after moving, the tarpaulin is covered again, at least it looks like no one has touched it.

There are fewer and fewer things in the arsenal of the armed forces, and there are more and more things in the treasury of Li Qi's carriage and horse shop.

Dig cellars during the day, and don training at night

Practicing more than 100 soldiers, although these soldiers can also ride horses, their bow and horse skills are like children playing at home.

In order to train the soldiers in archery, he took matters into his own hands, and led a group of people to seize the time to make a batch of rocking horses, which is child's play...... However, this thing is really useful for training archery on galloping war horses, and they can't really practice riding and archery in Jizhou City.

Early the next morning, a group of people continued to dig the cellar, a group of people went out to buy grain, Li Qi and they practiced in the yard, and Xiahou Zhuo and Xiahou Yuli came again.

Xiahou Yuli immediately screamed in surprise when she saw the wooden horse in the courtyard, she felt that this group of old men here was very interesting, and they actually had such a childlike side.

Xiahou Zhuo also felt funny when he looked at those wooden horses, and he asked Li Qi: "This thing, you use it for horse racing?" It looks like if you want to run first, waste legs. ”

Li Qi: "......"

These rocking wooden horses are not small, although they are very rough, but they are also quite interesting to shake, Xiahou Zhuo turned over and rode on a wooden horse, swaying back and forth.

After shaking for a while, he suddenly froze there, looked at Li Qi and asked, "Do you have a sense of shame when you ride this?" ”

Li Qi: "....."

Yu Jiuling suddenly had an idea after seeing this scene, he said with a smile: "Why don't you try it, ten arrows per person, according to the training on weekdays, two groups, who shoots the most targets wins, how about the last person to treat tonight?" ”

Xiahou Zhuo smiled: "Such a childish thing...... Compare is compare. ”

So everyone pulled a rocking horse to the designated place with a little shame, stopped at a distance of about fifteen zhang from the target, and all the rocking horses lined up.

There is a rope in the front and back of each rocking horse, and when shooting arrows, someone will constantly pull the rope, and the wooden horse will shake up, and it is naturally not so easy to stabilize the bow and arrow.

Li Qi, Xiahou Zhuo, Tang Rival, Zhuang Invincible The four of them participated in the competition, Li Qi shouted that Yu Jiuling also participated, Yu Jiuling said that he would not say anything, until Li Qi said that you were the last and would not let you have a treat, Yu Jiuling reluctantly agreed, and repeatedly said that he was not because of slamming the door, but because of humility.

Five people stood next to the five rocking horses, with Gao Xining and Xiahou Yuli as referees.

"Listen to my whistle."

Gao Xining raised his hand and said: "My first whistle is the beginning, the second whistle is the end, before the end, the person who did not shoot five arrows directly fell to the bottom." ”

The five people answered, and as Gao Xining blew the whistle, the five people immediately turned over and climbed onto the rocking horse, and the soldiers in front and behind the horse immediately began to pull back and forth, trying to make the horse shake more violently.

Xiahou Yuli smiled, she lowered her voice and asked Gao Xining: "Have you ever heard that nursery rhyme, you see the way they pull the Trojan horse back and forth, do you remember that ...... Pull the big saw and pull the big saw, sing a big show at the door of grandma's house, pick you up and you don't go, run by yourself, don't care about the food there, cook rotten eggs. ”

Gao Xining snorted and laughed.

The five people on the wooden horse didn't feel anything at first, but as the wooden horse shook more and more, they all began to feel a little ashamed.

It's like if you can't do this if you're over nine years old, you'll feel ashamed.

After each person finished shooting five arrows, there was no need to wait for Gao Xining's whistle to finish, unexpectedly, the first to shoot five arrows was Yu Jiuling.

Xiahou Yu ran to the target and looked at it, starting from Li Qi, she shouted while watching.

"Li Qi, all five arrows are hit."

"Tang is the enemy, and all five arrows are hit."

"My brother, all five arrows are hit."

"Zhuang is invincible, and all five arrows are hit."

"Yu Jiuling, all five arrows missed."

Yu Jiuling pouted and said, "If you don't get it soon......"

Xiahou Yuli snorted and said: "It's okay if you shoot the target, all five arrows are off target, and the arrow closest to the target is also a big step away." ”

Yu Jiuling felt that he should be a little ashamed at this time, but he really didn't.

The second group of competitions is even more interesting, still riding on rocking wooden horses, but each wooden horse will have two soldiers pulling forward, firing five arrows in a row while running, and they can't aim at one target, but five arrows are aimed at five targets each.

"Or according to the order of the competition just now, Li Qi is the first to play."

Xiahou Yuli raised his chin towards Li Qi, snorted and said, "You are definitely not my brother's opponent." ”

Li Qi said: "Then if your brother loses, you have to add one, let's eat something good." ”

Xiahou Yuli said: "I'm still afraid that you won't make it?" Add and add. ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "Did you bring any money?" ”

Xiahou Yuli said as a matter of course: "You also gave me the money I brought, you lost, are you embarrassed to let me pay?" Besides, I really didn't bring it. ”

Xiahou sighed: "The shame of the family......"

Li Qi rode on the wooden horse, two strong men pulled him forward, shook the wooden horse, pulled up and slid and shook it, Li Qi shot arrows in a row, five arrows and five hits, but not all hit the bull's-eye.

Next, Tang is the enemy, five arrows and five hits, all in red hearts.

Xiahou Zhuo, five arrows and four hits, Zhuang Invincible is also five arrows and four hits, Yu Jiuling is as stable as ever, and all five arrows miss.

"This ......"

Xiahou Zhuo felt a little ashamed, and Xiahou Yuli smiled: "Oh, you still brag that you are invincible in the world, look, it's a shame." ”

Xiahou said: "As a joint second-place finisher, what do I have to be ashamed of?" ”

He looked at Zhuang Wuving, Zhuang Wuving thought for a while and nodded: "Me too." ”

Xiahou Yuli said: "Yu Jiuling doesn't count, you two are tied for last place." ”

Xiahou Zhuo looked at Zhuang Wushu and asked, "Then how to solve it?" Shall we play an extra game, or shall we solve it in a more capable, exciting and murderous way? ”

Zhuang Wudi's eyes lit up, he wanted to know what it was, so he nodded and said, "More ferocious!" ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "Yes, this is the manly approach, riding a wooden horse and archery is really too naïve." ”

So they rock-paper-scissors, Zhuang Invincible won.

Xiahou Zhuo feels that this world is not friendly at all, this is not a matter of money or money, this is an honor.

In order to defend his honor, he decided to play tricks.

So in the afternoon of the same day, Li Qi, Yu Jiuling and others went out to buy, cooked snacks, and arranged for a carriage to secretly pick up Mrs. Xiahou.

This is not a dinner party for a few people, but a dinner party for more than a hundred people, and when it is not yet dark, the men in the carriage and horse shop can't wait.

Everyone looked at Tang Pi, this guy who originally loved to laugh but pretended to be cold for several days, finally showed a little smile.

"You can skip practicing today, drink and eat well, but practice for half an hour more tomorrow night, and the day after tomorrow, until you make up for it, everyone is a man, and you have to talk about it!"

A group of men immediately cheered.

Sometimes, contentment and happiness are as simple as getting together for a meal.

Sometimes, it's a simple thing that is hard to accomplish.

When people are still pooling money to eat, gatherings are very common, and when people are no longer worried about money, they have to gather people to eat such a meal.

......
