Zheng Yanqing stood in front of the half-human-high bronze mirror and tidied up the white short shirt on his body.

Then he draped the big red robe hanging on the wall diagonally, picked up a belt from the bookshelf and put it around his waist, and tightened it tightly, buttoning the tiger head to death. The belt is about the width of Chengren's palm, which is a little wide for Zheng Yanqing now. However, this ancestral belt given to him by Li Ji can play a protective role.

Mao Xiaonian went to Xingyang, and Yanqing tied his hair well.

"Yanqing, are you ready?"

Xu Shiji walked up to the study building and asked in a deep voice.

Like Yan Qing, he is also in a white shirt and red robe, and he looks extraordinarily energetic.

Yan Qing nodded, walked to the side of the building and squatted down, gently patted the heads of the two little mastiffs, and then walked down the study building with Xu Shiji.

Outside the bamboo building, Pei Xingyan and others were ready to go.

All white and red robes, black riding boots, and holding a big red lacquered cane.

Although it is only a person, it exudes a dignified atmosphere. Wang Zheng handed the cane to Zheng Yanqing without saying a word.

"Okay, don't be so nervous, isn't it just playing?"

Zheng Yanqing could feel the nervousness in the hearts of Pei Xingyan and the others, so he smiled slightly and said, "Take it easy, think about how we felt when we soaked in the hot spring a few days ago." Brother Xue, the Ju battle hasn't started yet, you don't need to be dumbfounded. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile a little.

Xue Wanche was originally quite nervous, but Yan Qing's words made him a little embarrassed, and he laughed, and his body was a lot easier.

Dou Xiaowen accompanied him as a substitute and was also responsible for carrying dozens of bow sticks.

Since there will be fierce fights during the war, it is only natural that the rod will be damaged.

The male sledgehammer led the jade hoof Jun over, and Zheng Yanqing was not polite, grabbed the bridle and turned over on the horse. The jade hoof seemed to feel the atmosphere of the approaching battle, and suddenly raised his hooves and neighed wildly, causing the rest of the horses to neigh together.

"Let's go!"

With Yan Qing's shout, a group of horsemen rushed out of the bamboo garden at a gallop.

Wang Zheng and Xiong Sledgehammer stood on the porch of the bamboo building, looking at the backs of Yan Qing and the others in the distance, the two old men glanced at each other and let out a light breath.

The world of young people is not something that the two bad old men can get mixed into.

Besides, in the circle that Zheng Yanqing is in now, whether it is Wang Zheng or Xiong Da Hammer, it is difficult to have the qualifications to speak.

"Sledgehammer, can't we really go over and cheer for the baby?"

"What's the use of going?" Xiong Da Hammer smiled bitterly, do you think that with our identity, we can be qualified to enter Nanyuan? ”

Wang Zheng scratched his head, and couldn't help laughing!

That's right, isn't Nanyuan a place that ordinary people can enter?

Although Yuanbi City is just the outer outline of the imperial city, it is also where the imperial city is located after all, and there are forbidden army guards stationed there, so how can ordinary people get close?

If it weren't for Zheng Yanqing's desire to fight with Mai Zizhong, and Yu Juluo came forward, coupled with the origins and status of both parties, they would be eligible to enter the Yuanbi City school.

At the hour of the hour, the colorful flags on the Xuanwu Gate are flying, and the ribbons are fluttering.

Many people had gathered on the castle heads around the school grounds of the round wall. On one side, the large silk painted with the name of each family is inserted on the left and right sides of the city. The outer wall of Youguang Gate, which is facing the Xuanwu Gate, is obviously much lower than the Xuanwu Gate city wall.

It is also a place where ordinary courtiers and wealthy celebrities in Luoyang gather.

Standing on the outer wall, you need to look up to see the big flag fluttering on the gate tower of Xuanwu Gate, to indicate the supremacy of imperial power.

Zheng Yanqing and the others had to cross Luoshui first, and then enter Yuanbi City from Youguang Gate.

Seeing that there was still half an hour before the time (nine o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock in the morning, there was a famous corner), Yan Qing and the others arrived outside Youguangmen City.

The person guarding Youguangmen is named Pei Qiantong, and he is Pei Xingyan's uncle.

He blocked the way of Zheng Yanqing and the others, motioned for everyone to dismount, and then ordered the guards to step forward and search the clothes and belongings of Yanqing and the others.

"Uncle, you don't need to be so strict."

Pei Xingyan said with a hippie smile: "Could it be that we can still plot against us?" ”

"Shh

Pei Qiantong's face changed suddenly, and he glared at Pei Xingyan viciously, "You kid, you don't look at the place when you talk nonsense, when this is your family?" Remember, after entering, go around the field and salute His Majesty. ”

"I know!"

"Get in there if you know......"

Pei Qiantong spoke, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Stinky boy, you must win." Your aunt has bet 3,000 on you, and if you lose, you know the consequences, right? Hehe, she's just watching from the castle tower. ”

"Ahh

Pei Xingyan's body trembled, and his face became a little ugly.

"Who is your aunt? How do you look a little scared? After Zheng Yanqing finished the inspection, he stepped forward and walked side by side with Pei Xingyan.

"It's my Aunt Shuying."

Pei Xingyan seemed a little reluctant to mention his aunt, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I fight for my life today, I will win!" ”

Zheng Yanqing felt more and more strange.

Pei Xingyan, who is not afraid of the earth and the earth this day, how could he be so afraid of his aunt?

It's just that before he had time to ask, the sound of war drums of a landslide suddenly sounded in his ears. This is the drum of the bow team when they enter the field, and it strengthens the momentum for the participating bow team. Hundreds of war drums rumbled, rumbling at the same time, making Zheng Yanqing suddenly feel an inexplicable excitement. The blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling in an instant, and his face was red because of the drumming.

I have to say that the appearance of Yanqing's team is very eye-catching.

All white robes and red robes, black riding boots. Zheng Yanqing and Pei Xingyan walked in the front, both of them belonged to the kind of beautiful men with slender bodies and handsome appearances, which attracted countless people to applaud loudly at the same time above the city for a while.

At the head of the Xuanwu Gate, under the banner of a flying dragon, Yang Guang and his harem concubines had already sat down.

Yang Guang is not yet forty years old this year, but he seems to be younger. Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a crown on his head, a nine-dragon jade belt around his waist, and a bright red cloak, he looks heroic and sassy, with a unique temperament.

He is not like Yang Jian, giving people a gloomy atmosphere.

On the contrary, at first glance, Yang Guang will feel that he is very sunny, with a jade face and red lips, with a somewhat lazy smile, more like a weak scholar. Beside him, sat a beautiful woman, with a pair of smart eyes, her eyes flashing, rippling autumn waves, revealing thousands of styles. She sat next to Yang Guang and said a few words to Yang Guang from time to time, which caused Yang Guangda to laugh more than once.

She looks like she's in her twenties.

But don't be fooled by her appearance, this beautiful woman is the queen of the dynasty, Yang Guang's wife, and Queen Xiao, a descendant of the Southern Liang royal family.

Her actual age is older than Yang Guang.

But to outsiders, she is a charming and charming little lady.

When the fenwei drum beats, Queen Xiao leaned her head and looked down the city tower.

She laughed softly: "Your Majesty, which one is Banyuanjun?" ”

Yang Guang was stunned, he hadn't seen Zheng Yanqing either...... So he asked the attendant beside him, "Which one is Banyuanjun?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is Xiao Langjun who is at the forefront and leads the white horse."

"Oh?"

Yang Guang and Empress Xiao were both interested, and leaned over slightly. As for the concubines behind the two of them, they were also quite curious. Pointing to Zheng Yanqing and the others downstairs in the city, they whispered, and from time to time they let out delicate laughter.

"Pretty little Langjun, doesn't he look like that kind of rebellious person?"

Empress Xiao said with a smile: "I thought that the Son of Heaven would not come to the court, and what would it be like to claim to be a minister who is an immortal in wine." This looks like a little girl...... Your Majesty, this is really unseemly. ”

Yang Guang snorted, "Aren't you still rebellious?" Three years ago, he dared to be an unjust marquis who burned Shigan to death, and now he is 'the son of heaven can't come to the court'...... In my opinion, this little Langjun is unruly, and he is about to run out! ”

Empress Xiao's beautiful eyes flowed, and her slender jade hand gently held Yang Guang's palm.

"Your Majesty, yesterday you still praised him for 'worrying about the king of the rivers and lakes', why did he change his tone today?"

Yang Guang is moody and elusive.

Even his favorite concubine did not dare to resist his words. But no matter what Queen Xiao said to him, even if she was disrespectful, Yang Guang would not take it to heart. Counting up, after more than 20 years of husband and wife, Queen Xiao is a little bigger than Yang. In Yang Guang's most difficult time, the only person who can share the joys and sorrows with him is Queen Xiao.

So for Queen Xiao, Yang Guang loves and respects.

Even if he set up the Sixteenth Lady of Xiyuan, in comparison, it was Empress Xiao who was the most favored by him.

Hearing Empress Xiao's quip, Yang Guang laughed instead of being angry, "Zitong, you seem to be very optimistic about Banyuanjun and them." ”

"Has the emperor forgotten the origin of the concubine?"

Empress Xiao is the royal family of Nanliang, and the royal family of Nanliang is from the Xiao family of Langya, and it is also a famous family with a history of hundreds of years.

The concubines next to them immediately fell silent.

This Empress Xiao is really bold, and she blatantly provoked the power struggle hidden behind this bow battle. And she clearly expressed her position...... I am from the Langya Xiao clan, so I naturally stand on the side of the Kanto clan.

If it were a different person, maybe it would be a capital crime.

But when she said these words from Queen Xiao's mouth, how did Yang Guang listen to it and how did she feel pleasing to the ear.

Zitong is in me, nothing can be said!

The more Empress Xiao is like this, the more it shows that she is open-minded. has been a husband and wife with Yang Guang for more than 20 years, and she may know Yang Guang better than Yang Guang himself. Hiding and hiding will be suspicious of Yang Guang...... "Since Zitong wants to support Banyuanjun, then I will choose Mai Zizhong and they will win." ”

Empress Xiao giggled, "Okay, how about the concubine make a bet with Your Majesty?" ”

"Oh, what's the bet then?"

"If Banyuanjun loses, the concubine will give the ancestral jade belt and Zhu Gui'er to Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Zhu Guier, the female official of Queen Xiao, is in the prime of twenty-eight years, and she was born with a flower and a moon appearance, and Yang Guang has long been itchy.

"Well, if Mai Zizhong loses, I will give the horse Shivachi that Ashina offered to Zitong."

Shiva, in Persian, means 'horse'.

When Empress Xiao heard this, she immediately smiled.

She was about to say thank you when suddenly there was another roar in her ears. The two hurriedly looked at the city, and it turned out that Mai Zizhong led the bow team into Yuanbi City.

Mai Zizhong, dressed in a black robe and black robe, led the black horse and walked around Yuanbi City.

These days, his life is not easy.

Originally, it was just a jealousy between teenagers, but who knew that it would evolve into a game between the old and the new. Although Mai Tiezhu was a big old man, after learning the news, he was so angry that he immediately sent someone to drench the blood of the dog scolded by Mai Zizhong.

It's not just because of this battle of the powerful, if Mai Zizhong finds any other person in the gate, Mai Tiecane may not be angry. Not only will it not be angry, but it may even add fuel to the fire. But the problem is that Mai Zizhong provoked Zheng Yanqing. Don't look at Zheng Yanqing's young age, and he is white, but he is in the clear stream, and his name is extremely loud. Offending the Kwantung clan, Mai Tiezhu may not be afraid, but he really doesn't want to provoke those clear streams.

So, Mai Zizhong is under a lot of pressure!

Not only from the expectations of the emerging elites, but also many clear streams of accusations against him.

For 50 days, he hardly left the house and practiced hard at home.

The moment he entered the field, there was a sudden burst of boos on the city walls on both sides of the Xuanwu Gate, which made Mai Zizhong extremely annoyed.

He also knew that he couldn't afford to provoke those who booed.

Besides, most of the women are booing him, is it possible for him to run to compare with those aunts and sisters-in-law?

Mai Zizhong and Zheng Yanqing, two groups of people, came to the Xuanwu Gate after going around the field for a week.

An attendant read Yang Guang's will loudly, but after the will was read, he obviously paused and turned his head to look back.

After a while, the chamberlain said loudly: "There is a decree in the sage, Zheng Yanqing and Mai Zizhong will bow down, and the winner will be named the captain of the cloud cavalry." ”

Yun Cavalry Captain was the title of Eighth Lieutenant during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui.

To be precise, this official position does not have any rights, and it is a military official title. But there's no denying that it's an honor.

Mai Zizhong and Zheng Yanqing were stunned and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

At the same time, on the surrounding city towers, there were bursts of whispers...... "Little white face, are you ready to die?" ”

Mai Zizhong gritted his teeth, stared at Zheng Yanqing viciously and said, "After a while, I will make your father and mother not recognize you." ”

"Mai Fei, don't be arrogant!"

Zheng Yanqing hadn't answered yet, Xue Wanche couldn't help but say, "Fatty, if you lose later, don't look for your mother to cry." ”

"Maybe who's going to cry......"

Mai Zizhong did not show weakness, glared at Xue Wanche, and said coldly: "I heard that General Tianbao is coming to Luoyang, Xue Sanlang, don't run away if you have a kind." ”

This sentence choked Xue Wanche so much that he was almost speechless.

Pei Xingyan was about to speak, but was pulled by Zheng Yanqing, "Dogs that can bark don't bite, let's see on the field." ”

Compared with the advantage of tongue, Xue Wanche is not Mai Zizhong's opponent.

But if you want to compare Mai Zizhong and Zheng Yanqing, then Mai Zizhong is obviously not Zheng Yanqing's opponent. Mai Zizhong originally wanted to deter Pei Xingyan and others, which was a psychological warfare trick often used in Ju warfare. But unexpectedly, Zheng Yanqing's words made Mai Zizhong angry like thunder, and roared in his mouth, if it weren't for the family behind him to hold him, I was afraid that he would rush over and try his fists and feet with Zheng Yanqing.

At the head of the city, Li Yuan, Dou Wei and Changsun Sheng sat together.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan couldn't help frowning.

"These little guys seem to be going to be real."

The night before yesterday, Li Yuan did not answer Changsun Sheng what the relationship between him and Zheng Yanqing was. But in the heart of the eldest grandson, Zheng Yanqing has been positioned as Li Yuan's illegitimate son. Hearing this, he smiled slightly, and said softly: "Shude, it's not that you don't know, the Kwantung clan and the southern magnates have always been incompatible, and it is normal for the juniors to be a little angry.

Besides, Ju Zhan...... If you don't move the real thing, what's the point of view? ”

Dou Wei said: "In that case, why don't you let your kid go up?" ”

"Hahaha, that kid in my family is only twelve years old, and he didn't compete with Mai Zizhong for jealousy, what did he do when he ran up?"

Not far away, a middle-aged man with a majestic figure snorted vigorously!

This man is Pei Xingyan's father Pei Renji. He couldn't hold his head up a little during this time...... Because everyone in the city knows that the cause of the conflict between Mai Zizhong and Zheng Yanqing is his precious daughter.

So much so that many people will joke when they see him: General Pei, have you ever chosen which one to be your son-in-law?

Every time he encounters this situation, Pei Renji smiles bitterly.

It was also Changsun Sheng's voice that was a little louder, and the people around him all looked at Pei Renji, all with weird smiles on their faces.

was so angry that Pei Renji turned his head and glared at Changsun Sheng fiercely...... At the head of the city, the drum sounded again, which was the drum of Endeavor and also indicated that the battle of Ju was about to begin.

After the three-way endeavor drum, it is time to start the bow battle. At this time, Zheng Yanqing and the others also got on their horses one after another, and each picked up the bow stick.

A number of majestic war horses, at both ends of the round wall city, Xi Yu Yu hoofed violently, making the round wall city filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Jade Hoof Jun also felt the tense atmosphere of the approaching big war, and kept stomping on the ground, shaking his head and tail.

At this time, Zheng Yanqing stepped forward, pointed at Mai Zizhong opposite with his hand, and then crossed his neck to make a very classic throat cutting ceremony in later generations.

Mai Zizhong's face suddenly turned blue!
