Chapter Sixty-Seven: Jiang Tuozi, the gardener of the palace
On the north side of the Jin Palace, there is a flower garden, which is planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, which not only attracts many bees and butterflies to feed on nectar, but also attracts many birds to fly to catch insects and flower seeds.

Zhang Xutuo's arrow aimed at the flock of birds above the flower garden and shot straight over, and the eyes of everyone present looked along the flight trajectory of the feather arrow, and there seemed to be a bird in the middle of the air that was hit by an arrow, which was pierced through the body by the arrow, and fell straight into the flower garden with the arrow.
"Good archery." Xian Yuluo cheered and immediately rushed over, picking up arrows.
Yang Guang was also stunned by Zhang Xutuo's arrow shooting down the bird, and sighed in his heart: No wonder Li Yuan would send Zhang Xutuo to follow him like a tail all day long, it turns out that this kid really has two hits.
Yang Guang was also surprised by Yang Guang's performance of instigating him to test his archery skills with Zhang Xutuo: as soon as he saw Zhang Xutuo hit the bird with an arrow, he put down the sentence "I lost", turned around and left, not at all as competitive as Fang Cai.
Yang Guang chased two steps forward, wanting to leave Dye Gan, but Dye Gan didn't hesitate at all this time, spread his legs, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind.
Yang Guang was helpless, turned around and came to Zhang Xutuo, raised his fist, punched him in the chest, gritted his teeth and praised him: "Archery is good, who did you learn from, and what skills do you have?" ”
Zhang Xutuo straightened his chest and replied loudly: "Back to the prince's words, the little Fangcai's arrow was shot purely by luck, and it is not enough to rely on. ”
Yang Guang heard that he was clearly unwilling to report his master's door to him, and kept humbly saying that the arrow he had just shot was a bird that was accidentally shot in mid-air, sneered, and thought: You kid is too proud, sooner or later one day I will ask you to plant a big heel to relieve my anger.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a howl from the direction of the flower garden: "You let me go, I really didn't shoot this arrow." If you don't believe me, the prince is now outside the mansion, and let's go to see the prince to testify for me. ”
Immediately afterwards, I heard a slightly old voice snort, and scolded loudly: "Old man, this wood peony has only bloomed once this year, so you can shoot this arrow with flowers and leaves." Xian Yuluo, I think that if you follow the prince all day long, the old man will not dare to treat you, annoying me, chop off one of your hands, do you believe it or not? ”
Yang Guang couldn't help frowning when he heard this person speak, and raised his voice in the direction of the flower garden and asked, "Who is there?" Here is the king, come out to speak. Xian Yuluo, it's so bad to run to pick up the arrows, it's really a waste! ”
Xu heard that Yang Guang was really waiting outside the mansion gate, and after a while, he saw a dry old man bent over his back carrying one of Xian Yuluo's ears and pulling him out of the flower garden. Behind the old man and Xian Yuluo, there was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young descendant, wearing a purple head and a yellow shirt, and kept helping Xian Yuluo to intercede with the old man: "Old man, you see that he is empty-handed, neither carrying a bow nor an arrow on his body, most likely you really misunderstood him." ”
As he spoke, the three of them approached Yang Guang and Zhang Xutuo. The old man on Tuo's back saw Zhang Xutuo who was carrying the three-stone strong bow in his hand, and immediately let go of Xian Yuluo, pointed at Zhang Xutuo, and begged Yang Guangsheng: "Please be the master of the matter and punish this person for the crime of destroying flowers." ”
Yang Guang was only interested in whether Zhang Xutuo's arrow really shot down the bird at this time, glanced at the old man on his back, ignored him, and went straight to Xian Yuluo, who was standing behind the old man with his ears covered, and asked, "How is it, did you find that arrow?" Bring it to me. ”
Xian Yuluo was obviously frightened by the old man with Natuo's back, and secretly pointed at the old man with Tuo's back behind him, and nodded at Yang Guang.
The young junior who followed behind the two walked up to Yang Guang with a feather arrow in his hand, bowed down, and said, "He Chou, the young superintendent of the young government, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Your Highness, please see, this is the arrow that fell into the flower garden and smashed the peony planted by Mr. Jiang. Duan's hand is a good archery, and an arrow shoots through the body of this sparrow. ”
Yang Guang heard that the young offspring reported his family, and he was actually a small official of the young eunuch, he raised his eyelids and looked at him, and saw that He Hou had thin eyebrows and fine eyes, white skin, like a woman, and he didn't care much, only looked at the feather arrow he held in his hands, and sure enough, he saw that there was still a bloody sparrow running across the arrow, and this poor sparrow was still stained with two pink petals.
Zhang Xutuo's arrow just shot at a sparrow flying in the air, fell into the flower garden, and smashed down a flower, this old man with a tuo back dared to beat and scold his personal guard in front of himself? I don't know what day it is today, Dye Gan, Zhang Xutuo, and this old man with Tuo's back, the cattle people all called themselves to touch.
He wanted to open his mouth to reprimand the old man, and ask him about his origin and name by the way, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that early this morning, he made a prank of changing the names of the two maids on a whim, and he didn't know that the names Xiao Xiao and Cersei were originally given by Yang Guang for the two maids before the crossing, so that he almost wore a gang. Since the old man standing in front of him dared to beat and scold Xian Yuluo, he should also have a great background, so he still don't have to act recklessly, wait for Xian Yuluo to ask Xian Yuluo in private, inquire clearly, and then reason with him.
"He Chou, you are a servant of the young government supervisor, don't stay in your yamen, what are you doing in the flower garden of my house early in the morning?" Yang Guang waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Xutuo and Xian Yuluo to follow him back to the house, and asked He Hou casually.
"Back to the prince's words." He Chou immediately approached Yang Guang and replied with a smile on his face, "The little official has been very interested in construction since he was a child, and after Jin Jing took office, I often heard people say that this Mr. Jiang in the prince's mansion not only grows flowers and plants well, but also is proficient in gardening, so I came to ask him for advice today." ”
"Oh?" Dare to love yourself This Jin Wang's mansion is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are all kinds of capable people, Yang Guang stared at the old man on his back, didn't ask any more, and turned around to enter the mansion.
"The prince just left?" The old man on Natuo's back did not relent, stepped in front of Yang Guang, and asked confidently, "This wood peony was planted by the old man when Niangniang came to the palace last year. This year's first flowering, so ruined, if the mother asks in a few days, but how to tell the old man to explain to the mother? ”
"What's so important about a flower?" Yang Guang listened to the old man of Tuobei calling himself an old man in front of him, and he was annoyed that he was rude, as the chief butler of Yuzan's palace, he only dared to claim to be an old man in front of himself, is the identity of this old man of Tuobei higher than Yuzan?
"In case the queen mother really asks in the future, this king will explain the reason to her old man, and you don't need to bother." Yang Guang coldly put down this sentence, and took Zhang Xutuo, Xian Yuluo, and the old man and He Chou, and went straight back to the house.
