Ten targets and thirty arrows, Duda rode faster than Shen Bai, and the speed of drawing arrows was also faster, he had already shot two arrows in succession, and Shen Bai took out the arrows and put them on the bow.

But not one, it's three.

The people present were all martial arts practitioners, all of them had very good eyesight, and they could see at a glance that Shen Bai was planning to fire three arrows at once.

On a bumpy horse, a normal ride on horseback doesn't necessarily have a high hit rate, not to mention that she is now using her feet to pedal the bow.

Many people exclaimed, they all felt that Shen Bai was too conceited and arrogant, how could he win like this?

Dusk Da took the time to look back at Shen Bai, and saw Shen Bai's archery posture with surprise in his eyes, but he didn't think he would lose, and drew the arrow to the bow again.

Shoot the arrows!

There were cheers behind him, and the arrow should not be far from the bull's-eye.

In this cheer, Shen Bai let go of the three arrows without stopping, and she immediately pulled out three more and put them on the bow to aim intently.

Zhou Jue's eyes straightened, and he couldn't help but lean to Gu Hengzhou's side and ask in a low voice, "Where did this kid from the Shen family learn his riding skills?" Why does it look familiar? ”

Shen Bailu's move was not visible to others, but Zhou Jue and Gu Hengzhou saw it very clearly, which was exactly the same as Luo Hui's archery method in the lieutenant's camp.

Luo Hui was the only one of the cavalry selected by Zhou Deshan with a broken arm, because he was missing a hand, he couldn't pull a bow and shoot arrows, and it took months of hard practice to get Zhou Deshan to allow him to enter the cavalry team.

Because he lacked an arm, he could only draw arrows with one hand and shoot them with a bow, so his movements were faster than Shen Bai's, and the murderous aura around his body was more majestic.

Zhou Jue had only seen Luo Hui shoot arrows once in the lieutenant's camp, and it had been a long time, and he couldn't remember it for a while, but Gu Hengzhou remembered Luo Hui when Shen Bai was leaning back on horseback.

The last time the Zhenge Battalion and the Xinhan Battalion competed together, Shen Bai also selected Luo Hui from so many cavalry.

But she didn't have any chance to enter the lieutenant's camp, how could she know Luo Hui?

Just as they were thinking, both Shen Bai and Duda began to shoot the last arrow.

It was already noon, the sun was very strong, and the arrows refracted a fine cold light in the sun, but no one looked at Duda, and everyone's attention was unconsciously focused on Shen Bai.

She was lying on her back on horseback, one leg stretched straight, and her hands pulled the bow to the extreme, staring at the arrow target without distraction, as if she had become one with the bow in her hand.

She only tied her hair with a headband, her black and silky hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes were as bright as a morning, and she finally waited for the best time to release the arrow without hesitation.

It's another three-shot shot!

Thirty arrows have been shot, Shen Bai hooked the longbow with his feet and turned around, his waist and abdomen were forced, he sat up straight on the horse's back, the hairband was hooked by the hook on the saddle, and the moment he got up, he slipped down, and his black hair instantly spread out, and the waterfall spread out like a waterfall.

The bright sunlight shrouded her, her hair fluttered in the wind, she casually pulled the black hair behind her head, and her side face exuded a lustrous luster in the sun, like a fairy who had fallen into the world by mistake, and it was thrillingly beautiful.

After shooting the arrow, Twilight looked back and saw such a scene, the weak boy just now, riding on a horse with his hair scattered in the sun.

Her hair was black and shiny, and her skin became fairer and fairer like a fine mutton fat jade, which consumed a lot of physical strength, her breathing was a little panting, and her cheeks were dyed with a little red, which was more pink and beautiful than the peach blossoms in March.

There is no shortage of women in Donghengguo who are very good at riding, and they are also heroic and bright when they ride their horses, but none of them are like Shen Bai, who combines free and easy handsomeness and soft beauty to such a perfect extent.

Twilight was a little stunned for a moment, forgetting the purpose of the competition at the beginning.

She put the arch on her back, retrieved the hair band, tied her hair twice, and then slowly returned to the crowd.

Before everyone came to their senses, he confidently raised his chin and declared, "I won!" ”

Shen Bai grinned, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, and the originally rather unflattened little appearance had all become a young man's unique spirit and chic.

She's not a lucky Twilight, she's really outstanding.

When the twilight horse came back, the guards in charge of the statistics also returned, knelt in front of the monarchs and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, the eldest prince has hit seventeen targets and ten bulls' eyes, and Zhaoling, the little prince, has thirty targets and eighteen bulls' eyes!" ”

Whether it is the target rate or accuracy, Shen Bai has to win a lot.

She sat on the horse and raised her eyebrows at Duda: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, how is it now, have you served?" ”

Duda is just short-tempered, and he doesn't have any bad intentions, Shen Bai's riding skills and archery skills are far superior to him, so he naturally has to obey.

Duda turned over and dismounted, stopped in front of Shen Baima, and asked excitedly, "What else do you want besides our Dongheng blacksmith?" I can find a way for you, can you stay? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jue suddenly jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail: "What do you mean by this, eldest prince?" Want to steal someone from us? ”

Gu Hengzhou quietly walked over and grabbed Shen Bai's horse reins, Shen Bai dismounted, and looked at Duda curiously: "I have won the competition, if the eldest prince wants to win back a game, you can go to Zhaoling to find me if you have a chance, I am Zhaoling's minister, even if I die, the bones should be buried in Zhaoling." ”

Shen Bai's hair was loosely pulled, and two strands fell down on his cheeks, softening the young man's temperament a lot, showing the beauty of male and female that was difficult to distinguish.

Twilight's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out: "I'm convinced, don't compare with you, you're very smart, if you can help me inherit the throne in the future, I'll give you whatever you want." ”

I thought you didn't have a brain just now, but your brain is spinning pretty fast now.

Shen Bai's eyes flashed slightly, and she felt that Duda was a little interesting, and she was not as reckless and brainless as she thought before.

The people of Dongheng are very direct, they will do their best to fight for something, and the lord also thinks that Shen Bai is very unusual, she can make the high priest's sad and joyful face shattered, with such superb riding and archery skills, and a fairly flexible brain, if it can be used by the Dongheng royal family, it will definitely bring great benefits.

The lord didn't scold Du Da, Zhao Che twisted his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "He has already said that he is a minister of Zhaoling, and he also asked the eldest prince not to make it difficult for others." ”

Duda still didn't give up, and wanted to continue to persuade, Gu Hengzhou said: "She won't stay here, you can die of this heart." ”

"That's it!" Zhou Jue squeezed over, and the two brothers hugged Shen Bai's shoulders, "His father is an important minister in the court, he has made meritorious contributions this time, and he has a bright future after returning to Zhaoling, what you Dongheng can give him, we Zhaoling can give him ten times and a hundred times, his ambition is great, even if you give him half of Dongheng Kingdom, he will not stay." ”

The three of them all made their positions clear, Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou's faces were still very ugly, and they didn't want to cause any trouble, so the lord took the initiative to interrupt the topic: "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, let's have lunch first." ”

The lord's words still carry a lot of weight, and although Twilight is unwilling, she still swallows all the words.

Lunch is Dongheng's characteristic haggis soup and meat buns.

The haggis soup tastes fishy, the meat bun tastes good, Shen Bai consumes a lot of physical strength, and he can't stop gnawing on the hard meat bun at all, but the meat bun is a little dry, eating and choking, Shen Bai hesitated for a while between choking to death and unpleasant, and finally decided to give in to the haggis soup.

She frowned and picked up the haggis soup, took a deep breath and was about to drink it, when a guard suddenly came over and handed her a water bladder made of cowhide: "The eldest prince said that you don't like to drink haggis soup, you can drink this." ”

Shen Bai was surprised, took the water bladder, and looked up to find that Du Da, who was sitting in the lord, had been staring at her with eager eyes.

The corners of Shen Bai's eyes couldn't help twitching, this big prince wouldn't have any strange habits, right? I lost the competition before and wanted to eat people like a cannon fight, but now I look at her like I want to like her.

His mouth was so dry that he couldn't swallow it, knowing that Duda would not poison himself in front of so many people, Shen Bai was about to open the water bladder, and a hand reached over to stop her.

"Who dares to drink what they give?"

Gu Hengzhou asked coldly, although the tone was not very good, but it was full of concern, Shen Bai was moved, chewed the meat bun and said helplessly: "Brother Gu, if you don't drink this, I will choke to death immediately." ”

Gu Hengzhou firmly took the water bladder away, Shen Bai looked at it with blank eyes, and subconsciously licked his lips, Gu Hengzhou didn't throw the water bladder away, just opened the water bladder and poured a bowl out.

The water bladder was not filled with water, but the best liquor from Dongheng Kingdom, Shen Bai's eyes lit up when he smelled the wine, and he couldn't help muttering: "Although this big prince is a big old man, I didn't expect that his heart is quite fine, and he actually knows that the little master is so good." ”

Hungry, Shen Bai couldn't wait to snatch the bowl from Gu Hengzhou's hand, raised his head and took a big sip.

The dry meat bun was finally swallowed, but the taste of the wine was mixed in but she didn't taste it much, Shen Bai drank the rest, and as soon as she hooked the wine worm in her stomach, the wine was gone, she couldn't help but look at Gu Hengzhou flatteringly: "Brother Gu, pour me another bowl." ”

Gu Hengzhou mercilessly stuffed the water bladder and glanced at her lightly: "Didn't you say that I promised not to drink?" ”

He looked like Gu Hengzhou in the previous life, Shen Bai's eyes were flickering, he didn't dare to look at him, and said, "I'm not afraid of choking." ”

She doesn't drink well, she will make trouble if she drinks too much, this is Dongheng, not Zhaoling, she just said that the sky is broken, Gu Hengzhou will not let her touch it again.

Gu Hengzhou had a straight face, it was even colder and harder than an iron plate, knowing that there was no hope, Shen Bai could only continue to gnaw on his meat bun aggrievedly.

After lunch, in the afternoon, it was a special horse competition in Donghengguo.

Set is Dongheng's unique sweat and blood BMW, this kind of horse is very strong, extremely difficult to tame, but the endurance and foot strength are very good, can travel thousands of miles a day, in wartime is a rare treasure.

Every year, Donghengguo will compete for the first warrior through this kind of competition.

In the morning, the competition between Shen Bai and Duda made these people in Donghengguo a little frustrated, but as soon as these sweaty and bloody BMWs were released in the afternoon, the morale of these people was high again.

Zhaoling can't raise such a good horse!

The four princes of Dongheng Kingdom and the twenty people in the accompanying soldiers participated in the competition together, and Zhao Che and the others sat next to them with the lord to watch.

There were a hundred horses, and when they were released, they were driven around the grassland, and the horsemen soon scattered.

The lord was at ease, and turned his head sideways to talk to Zhao Che: "These are the best horses of the Dongheng Kingdom this year, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" ”

Zhao Che said politely: "Your country's sweat and blood BMW has always been the best. ”

Dong Hengguo had also sent horses to Zhaoling before, and there were more than a dozen horses raised in the royal stables, and their foot strength and wildness had degraded a lot over the years.

The rest of Emperor Hengde were rewarded in the army, and most of them died on the battlefield, and to this day, only Hu Xuan of Zhenguo Gong, Lie Ying of Zhou Deshan and Gu Hengzhou's Lieyun are sweat and blood horses.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it, let's take it all with me when I go back this time."

The lord said arrogantly, Zhao Che was surprised, thought about it and politely refused: "The lord has already given a gift to Zhaoling this year, and our trip is a return gift, and there is absolutely no reason to bring so many horses away." ”

The lord hooked his lips and smiled: "It's okay, this little prince Shen taught my eldest son a good lesson today, and I took it as a thank you gift from me." ”

Sometimes no matter how much you say, it is more direct to let a person fall and feel the pain by falling.

Most of the time, the lord encouraged them to be brave and good at fighting, not to be afraid and afraid, but he did not let them use their brains and tricks like Shen Bai.

This world is no longer the world of decades ago when you could intimidate others by brute force.

The wine in the water bladder that Duda sent was an aged spirit, and although Shen Bai only drank one bowl, the strength of the wine slowly came up when he sat here.

Hearing his name, Shen Bai's ears moved, and he stood up and looked at the lord and Zhao Che and said: "Lord, Your Highness, you have to believe me, there is no eternal peace in this world, people must have a sense of vigilance in times of peace, if the sense of vigilance is gone, no matter how powerful the country is, it will decline step by step." ”

It is really disrespectful to say such things in front of the monarchs of the two countries, Zhou Jue wanted to hold Shen Bai, but was stopped by Gu Hengzhou, the lord and Zhao Che did not stop it, Shen Bai continued: "There are no eternal strong and weak people in this world, just take archery as an example, archery is so good that it is only rare for me to wear Yang in a hundred steps, those who can't practice archery well are not fools, they won't stand there and be beaten, they will find ways to improve the bow and crossbow and shield, as long as the shield is hard enough, it can resist the arrows that come from it, and no matter how good the archery is, it is useless." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, there was silence all around.

Shen Bai's eyes were a little flowery, he frowned and stared at Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che for a long time, his legs were weak, and he knelt in front of Zhao Che: "Your Highness, Zhaoling is your Zhaoling alone, but to defend it, it is by no means the strength of one or two people, what you need is not a hero of the world, but an invincible team!" ”

The reason why Zhaoling will decline step by step is because everyone thinks that as long as there is a town and a country, Zhaoling will be solid and will not have an accident.

Later, Zhenguo Gong was gone, and everyone pinned all their hopes on Gu Hengzhou.

As long as there is hope, no one will feel that the situation is serious, and they can continue to blind themselves and enjoy the wealth and glory in front of them!

The sovereign was shocked by Shen Bai's words, the national strength of Dongheng Kingdom is not as good as Zhaoling, and there are perennial wind and sand invasions, the sovereign has been in power for so many years, and the sense of crisis has always been there, but he heard Hanchen say that Zhaoling Guo's luck was exhausted, and he thought that the Zhaoling royal family was mediocre and incompetent, and when he saw Shen Bai's words and deeds today, he couldn't help but doubt the high priest's deduction ability for the first time.

With such courtiers, how can a country's luck come to an end?

Shen Bai knelt on the ground, his brain was already a mess, but his mouth was still muttering: "Your Highness, you want to strengthen the army, sharp weapons, rejuvenate the people, heavy soldiers, and most importantly, fill the treasury." ”

Still no one answered, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and Twilight came back with a very beautiful horse.

Hearing the voice, Shen Baiqiang propped up his head, his mind seemed to be awake, and he grinned at the lord: "These words should be regarded as my repayment of the lord's gift of horses." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, Duda had already arrived, he couldn't wait to get off his horse and rush to Shen Bai, and asked excitedly: "Shen Bai, this is my horse, do you like it?" ”

Shen Bai turned his head, wanting to see how majestic the horse was, the collar was suddenly grabbed, and the next moment the whole person was pulled into a warm and generous embrace.

Gu Hengzhou clasped her head and didn't allow her to move, and said in a deep voice, "You're drunk." ”

The vibration of the chest cavity spread from his forehead to his limbs, and Shen Bai's brain was even more dizzy, and he obediently leaned on Gu Hengzhou's chest and whispered, "Yes, I'm drunk." ”

Gu Hengzhou hugged Shen Bai and looked at Duda with dark eyes: "She doesn't drink well, she gets drunk after drinking the eldest prince's wine at noon, what does the eldest prince have to wait for her to wake up." ”

Twilight was very disappointed, and said without giving up, "I think he seems to have only drunk one bowl, how can he get drunk so easily?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said: "She is only fourteen, she is still young, and she is a scholarly family, she rarely drank alcohol before, Dongheng's wine is strong, full of energy, she will naturally get drunk." ”

Gu Hengzhou had already explained very clearly, Duda still wanted to give this horse to Shen Bai in person, Zhou Jue hurriedly said when he saw this: "The eldest prince is very skilled, this horse has bright hair and majestic style, it just so happens that your mount was given to Shen Bai by the lord, so you will ride this horse in the future." ”

He thought about it and felt that Zhou Jue was reasonable, and said with relief: "This horse has not been completely tamed, Rike has been with me for many years, and his temperament is relatively docile, so it is indeed better." ”

That kid is better at riding than you, what horse he can't ride, and you still need to worry about him?

Zhou Jue wanted to roll his eyes, but a polite and hypocritical smile appeared on his face: "It's great that the eldest prince can think like this." ”

Dusk Da couldn't see Zhou Jue's inconsistent thoughts, and saw that Shen Bai seemed to be drunk and fell asleep, so he eagerly proposed: "Shen Bai seems to be asleep, why don't I send him back to the camp to rest." ”

After Duda finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to hug Shen Bai, Zhou Jue's brain twitched, and he directly opened Duda's hand.

This is a bit rude, Duda's face sank instantly, Zhou Jue's palms were a little sweaty, and he secretly scolded Shen Bai, if it wasn't for Shen Bai going crazy and saying that he liked Gu Hengzhou, he wouldn't feel that Duda was abnormal now.

There are more than thirty people in Duda, if they really have any messy thoughts about Shen Bai, then it is not a scourge to Shen Bai, it is a living waste!

Zhou Jue was looked at by Duda, so nervous that he didn't know how to explain, Gu Hengzhou said in a deep voice: "She is drunk and will be scratched by unfamiliar people, it is better for the eldest prince to stay away from her." ”

Shen Bai was already completely drunk, leaning softly on Gu Hengzhou's arms, only revealing a small half of his reddened cheeks at this time, obediently not like a person who could scratch people at all.

Twilight was itchy and couldn't help but say, "How is he like a cat, weird and cute." ”

Hearing that Duda, a man who is five big and three thick, praised Shen Bai for his cuteness in a favorite tone, Zhou Jue's goosebumps exploded, and Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che threw a cold eye knife at Duda at the same time.

Zhao Che said coldly: "In Zhaoling, the word cute can be used on women, but it has the meaning of scolding when used on men, and the eldest prince had better withdraw this sentence." ”

The more Zhou Jue looked at Duda's eyes, the more unbearable he became, and he stood in front of Gu Hengzhou to completely block Shen Bai, and said: "His riding and archery skills are better than yours, if you want to talk about cuteness, then you are also the eldest prince, you are much cuter than him." ”

This word was used on herself, and Duda immediately felt that she was offended, and barely understood what Zhao Che had just said, and arched her hand: "I used the wrong word, sorry." ”

Zhao Che and the others stood up for Shen Bai several times, and the eyes of the lord looked at the three of them and couldn't help but explore a little more: "Shen Xiaogongzi is very capable, even in Dongheng, few people should be able to hurt him, why are you all so afraid that others are too close to him?" ”

Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou didn't speak, and Zhou Jue didn't want to blurt out: "Because he's sick." ”

When Twilight heard this, she immediately asked with concern, "What disease?" Can't your doctor in Zhaoling cure it? Our Dongheng's imperial doctor's medical skills are very good, and when he goes back today, let the imperial doctor help him take a look. ”

He likes men, can you Dongheng's imperial doctor still help him change his brain?

Zhou Jue slandered, and said with a smile on his face: "He is a disease brought out of his mother's womb when he was a child, and he has been taking medicine, as long as he doesn't get too close to other people, he won't get sick." ”

Twilight became more and more curious, "And what was he like when he got sick?" ”

"He bites." Zhou Jue said and pointed at Gu Hengzhou, "Our Royal Highness has been bitten by her, and she has bled blood." ”

Duda didn't know that Gu Hengzhou was bitten on the lip, and Shen Bai was like a beast biting Gu Hengzhou like a beast and was covered in blood, and silently crossed out the word cute completely from his mind.

Duda gave up the idea of contacting Shen Bai, Gu Hengzhou said hello to Zhao Che and the lord, and carried Shen Bai back to the camp.

As soon as she touched the pillow, Shen Bai wanted to roll inside, Gu Hengzhou pressed her, Shen Bai snorted uncomfortably, and kicked her calf restlessly twice, not knowing where to kick, she gasped lightly

Gu Hengzhou grabbed her leg and took a look, and found that there was a wet area at the ankle of her left boot, and twisted it with his hand, her fingertips were stained red, and she smelled blood.

Injured?

Gu Hengzhou's eyes instantly condensed with frost, and he wanted to help Shen Bai take off his shoes, but Shen Bai frowned and threatened: "Don't touch the master, be careful that the master kicks you to death." ”

Her expression was obviously painful, she should have felt pain, Gu Hengzhou soaked her shoes with the water in the pot on one side, and only helped Shen Bai take off her shoes after a while.

She didn't know when a large piece of skin had been worn out from her left ankle, and she was bleeding a lot, but it was already dry now, and the wound looked a little hideous.

She was born white, her feet were small, and the scars on her ankles were glaring.

The nobles of Hanshangjing are all delicate and soft, and her fingers have to shed two lines of tears when they are pricked by needles twice, but she can endure it very much, from beginning to end like a nobody, if she is not drunk, I am afraid that even he will be deceived.

Annoyance welled up in his chest, and he lost strength in his hand, Shen Bai felt pain, struggled for a while, and kicked Gu Hengzhou in the stomach.

That kick didn't have much strength, Gu Hengzhou didn't move like a loose, but Shen Bai muttered aggrievedly: "Bastard, I know that the bully master has injured his foot, you wait for the master to be well, and send you to see the king of Hades with one kick!" ”

It's all this virtue when you're drunk, and you really see yourself as a man completely.

Gu Hengzhou was a little helpless, and used the water in the pot to help Shen Bai clean up the wound.

The wound was still painful in the end, and Shen Bai struggled during the cleaning process, Gu Hengzhou grabbed her feet and didn't allow her to flinch back.

Fortunately, there was still trauma medicine on his body, Gu Hengzhou helped Shen Bai sprinkle the medicine powder, pulled off the sweat towel to help her bandage it, the sweat towel was knotted, Gu Hengzhou turned around and was about to leave, Shen Bai muttered in a thick nasal voice.

Gu Hengzhou paused, didn't hear what she said, leaned closer, and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Shen Bai was so painful that a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the strength of the wine was not dissipated, her little face was still red, and her white was red, which was very bewitching.

His mind moved slightly, his throat rolled up and down, and when Gu Hengzhou came back to his senses, his hand had already been attached to Shen Bai's face.

Her cheeks were hotter than she had ever imagined, and she was steaming hot.

The heat rushed from his fingertips into his heart, and the tip of his heart was also burned by the heat.

Gu Hengzhou just wanted to withdraw his hand, but Shen Bai moved his head, and his cheek rubbed against his fingertips, like a fluttering feather sweeping across the tip of his heart, arousing an itch.

Gu Hengzhou immediately clenched his fists, but the itching on his fingertips lingered.

Shen Bai didn't know what was going on at all, smacked his lips and said, "Gu Hengzhou, I'm in so much pain." ”

She can pretend to be in pain in front of everyone, but when she is delirious, she shows softness and coquettishness to him, saying that she hurts so much, as if she regards him as the only person she trusts and relies on.

She has grown so big with such a big secret, can she really believe in someone for no reason and with all her heart?

She liked him so much that he had a strong sense of unreality, as if she didn't like the real him, but another person with the same name and appearance as him, otherwise how could she tolerate him wanting to marry another woman?

This conjecture made Gu Hengzhou's chest a little stuffy, and he patted Shen Bai lightly on the head, and comforted him stiffly: "Sleep, it won't hurt soon." ”

I don't know if I understood what he said, Shen Bai quickly fell asleep.

Gu Hengzhou helped her cover the quilt, saw that most of her hair was scattered, and thought of her previous appearance on the horse, so he picked up the hairband and helped her comb her hair before going out.

Although Donghengguo's spirits are very strong, the strength passes quickly, and it is good to sweat a little and sleep.

Shen Bai slept for almost an hour this night, and when he opened his eyes for a long time, he was still confused, and his brain was also groggy and uncomfortable.

"Hmm."

Shen Bai rubbed his temples and sat up, and after a while, he realized that his shoes had been taken off, and a silver sweat towel was wrapped around his left foot.

She thought about it carefully, remembering that this sweat towel belonged to Gu Hengzhou, and her eyebrows couldn't help but smile.

was so careful, I found that the master was injured, and I really liked the master more and more.

With fun in his heart, Shen Bai put on his shoes and walked out of the tent.

The race was over, and everyone returned to camp, and the horses were driven back.

Shen Bai walked over with his hands behind his back, Zhou Jue was talking to Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che, when he saw Shen Bai coming over from a distance, he choked on his saliva, and couldn't help laughing: "The surname Shen, what the hell are you doing, do you want to laugh at the dead?" ”

Except for Zhou Jue, the others couldn't help but smile when they saw Shen Bai, Shen Bai was a little flustered for the first time, reached out and touched a ball of strangely shaped hair on his head.

Shen Bai: "......"

Brother Gu, although I like you very much, I have to admit that your hands are only suitable for killing enemies in battle, not for tying your hair.

Shen Bai calmly dismantled his hair and tied it again, walked over and kicked Zhou Jue.

The first horse in this horse race was Twilight, he was the first to return to camp, and the horse in the horse was the best foot in all the horses.

Shen Bai was polite and congratulated, but Duda's attitude was not as eager as in the afternoon, but with two points of vigilance.

The second monk Shen Baizhang was confused, but he was also happy, if Duda had been so enthusiastic, Zhao Che might have suspected that she had any private dealings with the people of Dongheng again.

In the evening, the group returned to the palace, and the lord gave them a hundred sweat and blood horses to take back to Zhaoling, and promised to let the high priest go to Zhaoling to congratulate Emperor Hengde on his birthday on behalf of Donghengguo, and the high priest would return to Zhaoling with them.

When he came, he was delayed for several days, and there was only more than a month left before Emperor Hengde's birthday, and he couldn't stay any longer, so Zhao Che said goodbye to the lord that night, and the lord let them go quickly, so that they could set off in two days, and they would prepare some dry food in one day.

Shen Bai was worried about Su Qi, and tentatively asked the lord if he could see Miao Ruoxi, but the lord refused, saying that after Miao Ruoxi returned to Hengyang, he contracted the wind and cold, and it was inconvenient to see people.

The lord didn't let him see him, and Shen Bai couldn't force him to ask to see Miao Ruoxi, so he could only stop there.

Early in the morning two days later, the lord personally sent Zhao Che and them out of the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Hanchen rode a pure white horse and waited early.

In order to facilitate travel, Hanchen changed into an ink-colored riding suit, the clothes were short and narrow-sleeved, the pants were tucked into black boots, the waist was a palm-wide ink-colored gold thread embroidered rune belt, the back was straight, the wide shoulders and narrow waist were lined with clear points, and the long legs were on the stirrups, neat and good-looking.

The sad and joyful face was shattered, and he wore a black and white mask to block his handsome and peerless face.

He was dressed in black, his hair was silvery, and the horses under him were also white, and the color contrast was so obvious that even if he didn't show his face, he could attract everyone's attention in an instant.

Originally, more than 100 people riding sweaty and bloody BMWs on the road were loud enough, plus one of them, I was afraid that he would be noticed by others all the way.

Hanchen didn't bring anyone, and planned to go to Zhaoling alone to celebrate his birthday, and when he saw them come out, he only bowed his head to greet Zhao Che.

Hanchen is on an equal footing with the lord in Dongheng Kingdom, Zhao Che is still the crown prince at the moment, and his status is naturally a little higher than Zhao Che.

Hanchen is the first time to leave Dongheng Kingdom, and the lord's expression is a little worried, but the sadness and joy are not a trivial matter, if he can't find out, he will also have trouble sleeping.

The lord clenched his right hand into a fist against his left chest, and said goodbye to Hanchen with his chin head: "I am waiting for you to come back with the people of Dongheng." ”

Hanchen nodded and responded with the same movements as the Lord.

After the two said goodbye, the group got on their horses and left, and the hundred elites who were responsible for escorting the return gift were already ready to leave at the post station, and the blacksmith that the lord promised to Shen Bai was also in the queue.

After everyone assembled, they went out of the city in a mighty way, and when they were about to reach the city gate, Shen Bai saw a person in the crowd wearing a gray robe and a hat, and felt her gaze, and the person lifted the hat, revealing a familiar face.

It's Suqi.

He really returned to Hengyang City, looking at his appearance, he should not leave for the time being, the time was too rushed, Shen Bai didn't have the energy to explore what he was going to do when he returned to Hengyang City, hesitated, took off his money bag and threw it to him.

Su Qi already knows her daughter's body, and when she returns to Beijing in the future, she will inevitably meet her, and it is always good to be able to have a little good relationship with him today.

When you go back, you don't need to escort the gifts, everyone travels lightly and quickly, and chooses to return to Zhaoling by land.

Seven days later, they returned to the Dusk Festival, where the snow had melted, the damaged walls had been repaired, and the people of the city had returned to normal life, except for the occasional white banner floating on the door of a family's house indicating that the city had almost been destroyed not long ago.

After seven days of driving, everyone was very tired, and Zhao Che ordered everyone to rest in the city for the night, and then set off back to Zhaoling tomorrow.

Hanchen already knew what was happening in the city at dusk, he didn't rest, he walked around the city alone, and saw the top of Hengrou Mountain, which was surrounded by clouds and mist, and was a lot shorter, and his eyes were solemn.

There was no inn in the city that could accommodate more than a hundred people, everyone was scattered in more than a dozen inns, and Zhao Che naturally lived in the City Lord's Mansion.

After dinner, Shen Bai went to the courtyard of Chunying's house to take a look again.

The house was unoccupied, and the roof and yard were covered with moss, which soon showed signs of being ravaged by the years.

Shen Bai's bracelet on the Chunying Gate is still there, and after experiencing the wind and sun, the bracelet has faded slightly.

Like the girl who has passed away, it will soon fade and dissipate in memory.

Shen Bai took a beautiful garland and put it on the door, this garland was bought from Hengyang City on the day she was preparing dry food, she accidentally saw it, and she bought it from Hengyang City, and subconsciously felt that the girl named Chunying should like this.

Shen Bai gently patted the garland as if patting the little girl's head, and said softly: "I'm ready to go home, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to come to see my sister in the future, I hope my sister will meet a lover in the next life, be happy, and don't be deceived by people like me again." ”

After watching Chunying, Shen Bai went straight back to the City Lord's Mansion, and happened to meet Hanchen at the city gate.

His expression was condensed, as if he had encountered something tricky, Shen Bai walked over lightly and patted him from behind.

Han Chen turned around and slapped Shen Bai with one palm, but stopped an inch away from Shen Bai's head.

Shen Bai didn't feel how strong the palm wind was, the pestle didn't move in place, and after a while, he tilted his head and looked at Han Chen curiously: "High Priest, if you didn't stop just now, what would happen to me when this palm came down?" Will it die? ”

Shen Bai humbly asked for advice, Han Chen withdrew his hand, walked into the City Lord's Mansion with steps, and said lightly: "No." ”

Shen Bai followed behind Hanchen step by step, and kept asking, "Then what will happen to me?" Have you always used this trick to scare people? ”

Hanchen didn't answer, he quickened his pace, but Shen Bai was not thrown off, he still followed him closely, and kept chattering: "Have you had dinner?" You didn't come back when you ate, so I didn't wait for you, there is still food in the kitchen, and I can help heat it up for you if you want to eat. ”

"Not necessarily."

"Do you need hot water? After so many days of traveling, you always have to bathe and change clothes, I can help you boil hot water. ”

"I'll burn it myself."

Hanchen refused coldly, and Shen Bai suddenly raised his voice: "How can it be done, how can such an elegant and refined person as the high priest personally boil the hot water, or I'll come, and if you need someone to help rub your back, I can do it, my way of rubbing the bath is great." ”

Shen Bai recommended himself vigorously, Hanchen stopped, and turned his head to look at Shen Bai.

There was no moon tonight, he was wearing a mask, and his eye sockets looked black and empty, with no light at all.

Hanchen asked, "What exactly do you want to ask?" ”

Shen Bai smiled and narrowed his eyes, like a cat stealing fish: "I heard that a sacrifice was held in the city of Dusk five years ago, which caused a sensation in the entire Dongheng Kingdom, does the high priest still have an impression of this sacrifice?" ”

Sadness and joy were warned because of that sacrifice, and of course Hanchen remembered that he was very surprised that Shen Bai would mention this sacrifice, and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing inquiring about this?" ”

Shen Bai confessed: "I heard that twenty pregnant women were sacrificed in that sacrifice, those twenty people are not from Dongheng Kingdom, and nine times out of ten they should be from Zhaoling, can the high priest deduce where their family lives and what relatives are still alive in the family?" ”

"It's a trick played by a swaggering warlock, and there's no one in the world who can figure it out." Hanchen said indifferently, Shen Bai obviously felt that the two black holes contained a bit of disdain.

Shen Bai nodded, and then asked, "What can you calculate then, high priest?" ”

It's not endless.

Hanchen said patiently: "I can only deduce the approximate fate for the living, and the end of the deceased's fate is not within the scope of deduction." ”

"Oh." Shen Bai showed a suddenly realized expression, "Then the high priest, you can help me calculate, can I help these twenty pregnant women to settle their grievances in a few days?" ”

Hanchen: "......"

didn't get an answer, Shen Bai urged suspiciously: "High priest, why don't you speak?" ”

Hanchen said emotionlessly: "I can't calculate your fate." ”

Shen Bai's eyelids jumped, and he was a little weak, could this high priest really be so powerful, he had already guessed that she was resurrected from the dead?

Shen Bai coughed and cleared his throat, and asked casually: "High Priest, what do you mean by this, didn't you just say that the fate of the deceased was over, so it is not within the scope of deduction, how can you not count me as a living person?" ”
