Xiao Jing was already frightened.

Xiao Zhong is twelve years old, and he is well-read and reasonable, but he has never seen this kind of scene, and he is also scared. But in the end, there are some ideas. Then he turned his head and looked at Xiao Jing, who was so frightened that he had already peed his pants, and whispered while taking off the gold, silver and jade ornaments on his body: "You will run away when you have a chance in a while, go and find someone to save me, remember." ”

The group of thieves was not very vigilant against the two children, and while picking up the jewelry, they urged Xiao Zhong: "Hurry up! And what about you?"

Xiao Zhong saw that Xiao Jing was still holding himself and sobbing, so he took off his jewelry, and at the same time slapped Xiao Jing with his arm, and said softly: "Run!" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Jing, who was frightened, spread his legs and ran back, Xiao Zhong hugged the thigh of the thief in front tightly, and the thief kicked Xiao Zhong away angrily, and ordered the two thieves next to him: "Go after it, don't let that kid run away!" After speaking, he took a knife and prepared to slash at Xiao Zhong.

Xiao Zhong closed his eyes in fear.

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

I don't know where three cold arrows were shot, several robbers were all hit by the arrows, when Xiao Zhong opened his eyes, he saw a very thin young man wearing a ramie dress, the young man stretched out his hand and said: "Come with me, it's not safe here!" ”

One of the robbers tried to stop them, but the boy noticed it, took a dagger from his body, and plunged it into his wound.

The robber was in pain at this time, and only called his father and mother, and rolled all over the ground.

The two teenagers ran wildly all the way, about a hundred steps, and met the Imperial Forest Army who came to rescue them, and the leader hurriedly saluted: "The ministers are late for escort, I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins." ”

Xiao Zhong gasped and said, "Take us back!" Those bad guys are behind, go get them! ”

At this time, Emperor Wu of Liang, Taifu Xue, Lord Liu and others were all waiting anxiously outside the Taimiao.

It turned out that after Emperor Wu of Liang led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay homage, he called someone to call a few princes, but found that several princes were gone, so he ordered to send the Royal Forest Army to find it, and the Royal Forest Army found that the second prince Xiao Wen fainted next to the woods, and then saw the little prince running out in embarrassment, saying that the eldest prince was going to be killed by bad people.

After the gang of robbers was arrested and beaten, they confessed that they were not instructed by anyone, but only to rob them of money, and they were finally beheaded.

Emperor Wu and the others saw the young man who came back with Xiao Zhong, who was thin and slender, with handsome eyebrows, and was not afraid of such a scene.

The leader of the Imperial Forest Army, Yu Lanche, said: "Boy, when you see the Holy Lord today, you still don't kneel? ”

After hearing this, Chen Xian knelt down and said, "The slave has seen Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Wu looked at the young man and asked, "What's your name?" Where did it come from? Why in this wood? ”

The young man replied calmly: "My name is Chen Xian, and my family lives near here, and I have come here to hunt in the mountains today. ”

Xiao Zhong listened to it and said eagerly: "Father, just now it was thanks to him who shot the robber with an arrow that saved my life. ”

After saying that, the two children looked at each other and smiled.

Emperor Wu got up and walked over, patted Chen Xian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "At a young age, he is proficient in archery, and it is a good material for practicing martial arts, like when he was young!"

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he is the number one hero in the world!" ”

Zhou Dazai also smiled: "Your Majesty is still as beautiful as it was back then. It's because of your proposal, Mrs. Xue, that almost killed the princes, what crime should you be guilty of? ”

Shen Shangshu, who was standing in the back, was upset with Mrs. Xue, and said: "You can't blame Mrs. Xue alone for this matter, if you want to say that you are responsible, Dazai-sama, you also agreed at that time." ”

Zhou Dazai listened to it and was speechless. said angrily: "I know that you are Xue Tao's protégé, and you are indeed a raccoon dog." Hum!. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Emperor Wu of Liang listened to it and said with a smile: "Now the princes are safe and sound, as for Mrs. Xue, the widow will also punish him, Mrs. Xue, the widow will punish you for half a year, do you have any complaints?" ”

Mrs. Xue replied: "The minister has no complaints. ”

Emperor Wu of Liang said again: "Chen Xian, you have made meritorious contributions to protecting the prince, and the widow will let people reward your family, as for you, what do you want?" ”

Xiao Zhong pulled Chen Xian and said, "Erchen wants to stay with him, ask for his father's permission!" ”

After hearing this, Emperor Wu said, "Chen Xian, are you willing to enter the palace to accompany Zhong'er?"

Chen Xian thought that his father was a farmer's family, usually hunting occasionally, and he wanted to let himself live a dull life, never wanted to let himself study and practice martial arts, and his archery skills were also secretly learned. Now that he has an opportunity, he must take advantage of it, so he decided to leave home and go to the palace with Xiao Zhong. So he readily agreed: "The slave is willing."

It is said that Empress Youlan knew that Emperor Wu didn't like her, so she didn't follow her, thinking in her heart, she just finished checking the chanting of Jing'er's "Chuci" this morning, this time, Jing'er will definitely be able to grow her face in front of Emperor Wu, and it will be a matter of time before she becomes the crown prince.

Queen Youlan asked in surprise, "Jing'er, aren't you going to sacrifice? How did you get hurt? ”

When Xiao Jing saw his mother asking, he cried aggrievedly and said, "I went to catch rabbits in the woods, and I met robbers who wanted to kill us, but fortunately, my eldest brother let me run first." After speaking, he wiped his snot and tears.

When Queen Youlan heard this, she immediately became angry, and slapped Xiao Jing's ass and said, "You are not angry, let you go to the sacrifice, what kind of rabbit are you running to catch?" ”

Qingtong and Chunxian next to him were busy trying to dissuade him, Qingtong hugged the little prince and rubbed his sore spot distressedly.

Chun Xian stepped forward and said: "Niangniang don't have to be angry, this sacrifice didn't succeed, we still have a chance next time, now we should thank the eldest prince, if it weren't for the eldest prince sacrificing his life to save him, our Royal Highness would be in danger."

After hearing this, Queen Youlan felt that it was very reasonable, so she instructed the servant and said, "Go and get the best bruise medicine, and I will personally send it to Chunning Palace." ”

Inside the Chunning Palace.

Concubine Hu was rubbing medicine on her son, and when she saw a large piece of blue on her son's abdomen, she shed tears in distress.

Qingwen said unhappily: "How can Your Highness ignore your own life and death, if you save a good person, it is just that Jingren Palace, who targets us everywhere on weekdays." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Hu reproached.

"Niangniang, there are some things that should be ...... Your Highness" Before he finished speaking, he heard the palace people outside report that the queen mother was visiting.

Mother and son hurriedly got up to greet them.

After Queen Youlan came in, she pretended to be concerned and said, "The eldest prince has an injury, lie down quickly." ”

Concubine Hu hurriedly said, "Qingwen, go and make tea for the queen." ”

Queen Youlan said again: "Sister, don't bother, I'll leave after a few words." I've heard about the sacrifice, if it weren't for Zhong'er, Jing'er would have died. ”

Concubine Hu said: "Zhong'er, as an elder brother, should protect his younger brother. ”

Queen Youlan smirked: "Zhong'er, this child has brotherhood, in the end, it is not like some cheap maids who are born to only care about their own lives at a critical moment." ”

Concubine Hu said: "I heard that the second prince was also scared! ”

Queen Youlan said disdainfully, "The slave was born, and when he really encounters something, he also shows the appearance of a slave, and he can't get on the big stage!" You shouldn't forget who you used to be, like you are all good! ”

Hu nodded and said, "That's what Niangniang said!" ”

Queen Youlan smirked and said, "It's not too early, let Zhong'er rest for a long time, and the palace will come to see him another day." ”

Hu Shi hurriedly got up to send it off. said: "The queen mother walks slowly. ”

After Queen Youlan left, Xiao Zhong looked at his mother with some distress and said, "Queen Mother, she is obviously ridiculing us, my father loves you so much, why does my mother endure it and not say a word?" ”

While continuing to give medicine to his son, Hu Shi said: "She is the queen's mother, our mother and son are deeply favored by your father, and we must not quarrel with her, otherwise it will only bring trouble to your father." ”

Xiao Zhong said with a smile: "The mother has both virtue and glory, and she is far better than the queen in the heart of her son. ”

Hu Shi said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense anymore!" ”

Xiao Zhong said: "My son knows. Mother, the boy who saved me this time, my father allowed him to stay in the palace, and he can study with me on weekdays. ”

Hu Shi was very happy for his son when he heard this, and said: "Yes, since you saved you, you have to thank others and get along well in the future." ”

Xiao Zhong said: "That's natural, he is about the same age as me, taller than me, he looks like he has a cold temperament, and he will definitely be a big general in the future!" ”

Hu Shi smiled: "You have learned to show people now." ”

The mother and son talked a lot more.

Inside the Riding Shooting Yard.

There were more than a dozen young men standing in the courtyard, all with their arms outstretched, like zombies. Liu Dutong stood in the middle and said, "Since you have come to the Riding and Archery Academy, it proves that you are all good enough." Our Cavalry and Archery Academy is dedicated to His Majesty, and if you dare to attack a thief, you will use the bow and arrow in your hand to deal a fatal blow to the thief. Now let you practice your arm strength, it is to hone your endurance! Do you understand everything? ”

Everyone replied loudly, "I understand!" ”

Chen Xian and You Lanche stood at the door, You Lanche glanced back at Chen Xian behind him and said, "You can stay here in the future!" ”

Then he shouted at Liu Dutong: "Liu Dutong, I have brought you a new person!" ”

After Liu Dutong listened, he turned around and instructed the others to continue practicing, walked up and looked Chen Xian up and down, and said, "Go pick a bow and arrow, let me see your archery skills." ”

Chen Xian walked to the front of the bow and arrow fence on the side, picked a bow and arrow, walked about fifteen meters in front of the target, picked up the bow with his left hand, and put the arrow on his right hand, thinking, I am learning from a teacher, if I show ten qualifications, it is not good, it is better to show seven or eight points, so I didn't look at the target carefully, and shot out casually, hitting the edge of the nine rings.

Yu Lanche smiled: "Not bad! ”

After Liu Dutong saw it, he thought: This kid deliberately released water, thinking that I couldn't see it? However, he did so with an open mind. He's a guy who can hide his skills!

He also smiled and said, "Yes, it's a good seedling, I stayed!" ”
