325, Dark Arrow

Jiang Xuan and Chen Jiao looked in the direction Lan Ying said, and sure enough, they saw Xu Yunke nervously standing in front of Lin Hao, the king of Huai'an.

"You said that there are so many ladies today, she is not afraid of being seen, and when the time comes, she will not succeed in stealing chickens, but will be ashamed, who would dare to ask for such a girl."

Chen Jiao smacked her lips, not daring to agree.

Lan Ying saw Xu Yunke handing something in his hand to Lin Hao, and sighed twice, "What are you talking about, maybe people want this?" ”

"At that time, the whole capital will know that she Xu Yunke loves King Huai'an, even if she doesn't marry King Huai'an, but she will also bury a thorn in the heart of the future Princess Huai'an."

In fact, the place where Xu Yunke and Lin Hao stood was quite hidden, and ordinary people would not notice it, and it was a pure coincidence that the three of them would see it.

"Wang ...... Wang Ye ......" Xu Yunke's nervous tongue in the distance was about to be knotted, her face was red like fire, and she couldn't run away immediately, but she still mustered up the courage to raise her head, grabbed something with both hands, handed it over, and said the words that had been repeated silently thousands of times in her heart in one go.

"King of Huai'an...... This is a sachet I made with my own hands......"

She said quickly, and the corner of the sachet was crumpled by her, as if she had used all her strength, and she closed her eyes tightly, as if she wanted to wait until the butcher's knife fell.

Lin Hao looked at the nervous girl in front of him who was almost fainting, and his eyes casually moved to the sachet in her hand that was about to be torn.

Xu Yunke's raised hands trembled uncontrollably, Lin Hao hadn't reacted for too long, so long that she thought that the person opposite had left.

She couldn't help but open a slit in her eyes, and he was still standing there, his gaze glued to the sachet in her hand.

There were a lot of emotions brewing in his narrow eyes.

Xu Yunke's heart beat violently, is King Huai'an thinking about it? As soon as she thought that he was thinking about it, her heart raced, her mouth was dry, and her palms holding the sachet were sweating.

She was afraid that the sachet would be dirty, so her hand shrunk, and she even wanted to learn from those subordinates, like ordinary people, to wipe her hand on her clothes.

It took her a long time to make this sachet, and her fingers were poked with countless holes, but she was happy to do it.

A noble girl like her, few people will study female popularity, after all, there are so many maids and servants around.

But she still wanted to make one with her own hands and give it to him.

Before sending it out, she didn't think about what would happen if he refused.

She has already passed the house, and the family is showing her family affairs, if he doesn't accept it, what should she do?

Originally, when the Huai'an Palace was completed, the family had asked someone to go to Concubine Shu to inquire about the situation, and Concubine Shu still liked her very much, which made her happy.

But suddenly, Concubine Shu suddenly closed the door, no matter how she inquired, there was no news of her.

In desperation, the family began to want to see another thing for her, even if she cried and picked bones in the eggs, it couldn't stop the family from continuing to look at each other.

Even if there is little hope, she still has to work hard once, her family's background is not bad, she has a good complexion, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can do it even if she is a bow and horse that is not touched by ordinary ladies, so she doesn't like it at all?

Just when Xu Yunke didn't know what his fate would be, he heard Lin Hao's voice say solemnly,

"Miss Xu's intentions are unacceptable to Xiao Wang."

Unacceptable!

Unacceptable!!

Unacceptable!!

The last bit of hope in Xu Yunke's heart was annihilated. It was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, and her brain was buzzing and white.

I only felt that all thoughts were lost, all five were burned, and tears flowed down like pearls with broken threads.

What should she do?

What would he look down on her?

Why?

Her whole body was in chaos, she wrapped her arms around herself, slowly squatted down, and couldn't cry.

Lin Hao was a little at a loss, he didn't like it and naturally had to refuse, otherwise wouldn't that hurt people?

He stammered a little, "Miss Xu...... There are many good men in the world...... Xiao Wang doesn't deserve you like this. ”

He knows what it's like to like someone and be rejected, and he has been rejected like this, and the pain is heart-wrenching, making him toss and turn.

In the days to come, he will often face that person, with another identity, and he can't have the slightest charm in his heart, otherwise it will be blasphemy against her.

He looked at the woman in the moon-white riding costume in the distance, and his gaze slowly became blurred.

Xu Yunke was trembling from crying, and there was only the noise of the crowd in the distance in his ears, he really didn't like himself at all.

What does the good man in the world have to do with her? None of them are him.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Hao with teary eyes, his eyes looked into the distance, and his gentle eyebrows and eyes were now filled with sadness that could not be dissolved, just like the deep night sky, and there was no bottom in sight.

Who is it? Who made him so sad, she was rejected just now, and she wouldn't think it was because of herself.

He arched his hand, took a few steps back in embarrassment, and then turned and staggered away.

Xu Yunke looked at him in a daze, and in his field of vision, everything was discolored, only his delicate and upright back staggered into her eyes.

Xu Yunke felt that his heart was dead.

After a long time, she stood up with red eyes and walked out into the crowd.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Jiang Xuan, Chen Jiao and Lan Ying in the distance.

Just now, King Huai'an seemed to be looking at the direction of the three of them......

Xu Yunke's face changed drastically, could it be that he liked one of the three people?

A light suddenly crossed her mind, and she couldn't believe it.

Of these three people, where can any of them compare to their appearance, talent, and family background?

Although Lan Ying was born in the Chengen Mansion, once the Empress Dowager dies, the title will be withdrawn, and Chen Jiao, whose family background is very ordinary, as for Jiang Xuan, it is even more impossible, that woman is now in her teens, and she is an old girl!

Xu Yunke didn't believe that King Huai'an's sweetheart was among the three.

Once there is doubt in the heart, once the seeds of doubt are planted, it will take root and sprout.

Xu Yunke suddenly paid attention to Jiang Xuan and the others.

……

After Lin Hao said goodbye to Xu Yunke in embarrassment, he hid to the side with his entourage, in fact, before Xu Yunke came, he was stopped by another noble girl to confess.

This made Lin Hao regret coming to this jockey club, he sighed, and wanted to greet his entourage to prepare to go back to the palace, but he didn't expect a heavy sigh to come from his ears, "Hard-hearted." ”

Lin Hao turned his head and saw that it was Murong Han, who was dressed in dark clothes and purple eyes, and walked towards him with his hands behind his back.

"Such a good girl, you can refuse ruthlessly, it's really hard-hearted." Murong Han looked at the sad girl in the distance, and shook his head regretfully.

Lin Hao lowered his eyes and said coldly, "I want to really accept it, that is the heart of stone, the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog, the main thing is that I can't look past it, so I can go forward and comfort it." ”

"This young master can't afford to stand the enthusiasm of the Dongli girl." Murong Han's words were full of mockery.

It is said that the nobles of the Central Plains are the most reserved, but who would have thought that a reserved girl could be so bold and show her love to her lover in public.

Lin Hao didn't want to say more to Murong Han, "Young master, you can stay in the capital because your King Qi is unwell, this king remembers that it is your uncle, why do you still have the heart to play around, at this time, shouldn't you take care of him in front of him?"

After all, this is the capital, and the homeland is hard to leave, so aren't you in a hurry to return to Nanyan? ”

Lin Hao looks thin and handsome, with a scholarly Sven, he didn't expect to be so sharp when he was scolding.

Murong Han smiled, "As the second son of the Emperor Taishang, after King An was killed, the heir to the throne should have been the prince, but now he is occupied by a dove surnamed Xiao, so the prince is not resentful?" ”

Lin Hao stared at Murong Han for a while, and said slowly, "The young master's sowing discord is very good, but unfortunately, you have found the wrong person, this king has never had half an expectation for that supreme position, and for this king, it is not as interesting as calligraphy and painting." ”

He arched his hand, "I'm sorry, the words are not speculative, more than half a sentence, farewell." ”

After speaking, he added, "I hope the young master doesn't walk around, after all, as a foreigner, you are easy to be injured by mistake when you walk around like this......"

Murong Han smiled again, "No expectations? That prince is really sad. That position, supreme, gets what you want.

For example, women, what kind of women do you want to have? Including your beloved woman, you can also snatch it up when the time comes. ”

Lin Hao's heart ached, the beloved woman, snatched ...... He didn't want to stay and fly with the woman he loved.

It's just that she doesn't like him.

He settled his mind and looked at Murong Han with disdain, "The men in Dongli are different from the men in Nanyan, especially this king, love is a beautiful thing, if you want to use robbery, what is the point of being with bandits and robbers?"

If I like a woman and she doesn't like me, I will let go and bless her.

Won't spoil her beauty.

If you snatch it, will she belong to you? ”

He laughed, his handsome face blooming, "Speaking of which, the Murong family was also from the Central Plains, and they never thought that they had lived in Nanyan for so many years, but they had become as barbaric and uncivilized as those tribes. ”

Murong Han looked at Lin Hao with a smile, and listened to his ridicule as if it was praise, but behind him, an entourage looked very embarrassed, pressed the sword handle on his waist, and wanted to rush forward.

Murong Han waved his hand, signaling him to be restless, he put his hands behind his back, and on a male and female face, with a bit of transcendent nobility, he stared at Lin Hao for a moment, and smiled slightly,

"Sure enough, the person who immersed in the ** painting is different from a rough person like me. Indeed, our Murong clan has been away from the Central Plains for a long time. ”

"However, who made my ancestors inferior in skills?"

He slowly straightened his sleeves, glanced at Lin Hao lightly, and a sneer on the corner of his lips, who would not be tempted by that supreme power?

Even if you don't want to be tempted for a while, it's just because the temptation is not enough.

……

Because Xu Yunke had suspicions, his eyes darkened when he saw Jiang Xuan and the three of them talking to someone.

Lan Ying has a gentle temperament, the kind of character that will not offend people, and when she saw Xu Yunke coming over, she greeted her with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Yunke looked at Lan Ying.

Lan Ying said, "It's nothing, Sister Ah Xuan ran around just now, and they were all fascinated by Sister Ah Xuan's horseback riding style, and they all said that they would let Sister Ah Xuan teach them riding skills." ”

Xu Yunke smiled, "Really? Speaking of which, Miss Jiang grew up at the border, so naturally she is different from us ladies in the capital, and it is normal for us to be incomparable. ”

She tilted her head, looking very innocent, "Miss Jiang is also a good skill, she has been in her twenties for ten years, and she can still arouse the covetousness of so many people." ”

"Even the Emperor Taishang has taken a fancy to it, didn't the young master of Nanyan still ask to marry Miss Jiang?"

"Did Miss Jiang know the young master of Nanyan when she was in the frontier? When you came back, he never forgot it, so he chased after him all the way. ”

She sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect that such a beautiful man would be an infatuated species." ”

That's a little bit of a meaning.

not only satirizes Jiang Xuan as a bun who grew up in the border pass, a barbarian girl, etc., but also implies that Jiang Xuan is a girl who is not very profound, and even leads everyone to think about Jiang Chong being imprisoned last year because of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Looking at Xu Yunke, who was smiling and smiling, Jiang Xuan laughed,

"I didn't expect Miss Xu to have the heart of a talented woman, and what she said was even more wonderful than those storytellers in the teahouse, and it would be a pity not to be a person who wrote a book."

Chen Jiao leaned on Jiang Xuan's hand and rolled her eyes, she just couldn't get used to Xu Yunke, "Yunke, it's a shame that your grandfather is still the secretary of the military department, and it's also a girl, why is your mind full of those dirty things?" ”

Lan Ying said softly and softly, "Yun Ke, you can't talk nonsense if you insinuate like this. You weren't such a snarky person before.

Don't really be poisoned by those words, it'll be a pity then. ”

There was also a girl who was good friends with Xu Yunke on the side who came out to play a round, and then pulled Xu Yunke away.

"Go, go, go, you are the master of the day, but you have to entertain the guests well."

Xu Yunke's eyes were red and his neck was stiffened, "Isn't what I said reasonable?" is so decent, why is her father locked up, why is it not about others? ”

"My grandfather can say that there is no good person in the Jiang family.

You see, her old lady died less than a year ago, and she came out to participate in my family's horse club like a butterfly. “

The girl who played the round was almost angry because of her unreasonableness, covered her mouth, smiled awkwardly at Jiang Xuan and the others, and forcibly dragged her away.

"My little ancestor, although she has not married the Emperor Taishang yet, she is also the queen mother, you talk nonsense, don't cause trouble for your family."

Xu Yunke sneered, "I'm not afraid, if others don't say it, it doesn't mean they don't want to, it's just that they don't dare to say it." ”

The girl who played the round field let go of her hand weakly, glaring angrily,

"As long as you are bold, you are not afraid of offending people, are you? What the hell are you trying to do? ”

"When you first came in, weren't you okay, and you smiled with others, just for a while, you just look like this, what do you do with her in a good arrangement?"

Although the voices of the two of them were low, they still didn't hear Jiang Xuan and them.

Lan Ying looked at Jiang Xuan and said embarrassedly, "Sister Xuan, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have called you here." ”

Jiang Xuan shook his head, the Empress Dowager's request, even if Lan Ying didn't say it, she would probably be allowed to come.

Chen Jiao shook her hand and said to Lan Ying indignantly, "I told you before, don't get close to Xu Yunke, now you know, that's a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately." ”

Lan Ying hung her head, thought for a while, took off Chen Jiao's hand, and walked towards Xu Yunke.

"What are you doing?" Chen Jiao was strange.

Lan Ying stepped forward and grabbed Xu Yunke's hand, "Yunke, I don't care what you have with Sister A Xuan, but what you said today is not right, you have to apologize to Sister A Xuan."

Moreover, she didn't want to come to your Jockey Club, so I begged her to come. ”

Xu Yunke shook off her hand, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, Lan Ying may also be someone Lin Hao likes, and the three of them are not good people.

"I'm really sorry that the horse club that came to my house wronged her. I don't care if you begged her or not, with filial piety on her body, she came to someone else's house, so she didn't have to let people be contaminated with bad luck.

She should have a little look, even if the emperor ordered her to come, she should refuse. ”

Jiang Xuan happened to approach, and when he heard Xu Yunke's words, he was really angry.

"Sister Ah Xuan came to the Jockey Club, although I begged for it, but it was also ordered by the Empress Dowager, Niangniang took pity on Sister Ah Xuan's dull and unhappy at home every day, and specially asked me to bring her here to relax, speaking of which, it is an honor for your family.

After all, Sister Ah Xuan won't come to anyone's banquet casually in the future, and she won't be invited when the time comes.

Or is it that your Xu family is very powerful, and when you encounter such a decree as Niangniang, you can refute it at will. ”

Xu Yunke's face changed drastically, as if the blood in her whole body had escaped from her face, and she stared at Lan Ying directly, her chest rising and falling violently.

Lan Ying's hat is too buttoned, if she dares to say that the Empress Dowager's decree can be refuted, she will immediately be said to be disobeying, and the entire Xu family can be buttoned up this hat.

Seeing that she was silent, Lan Ying snorted, pulled Jiang Xuan and Chen Jiao and left.

If it weren't for the bad luck of going home, she would have wanted to leave the Xu family's horse club and go home.

"Stop!" Xu Yunke shouted.

Lan Yingli ignored her.

"Didn't they all say that Miss Jiang was good at horseback riding? Do you dare to compete with me! ”

Xu Yunke shouted behind him.

"Don't you dare to compare with me? It's just a waste of fame, if it weren't for the fact that you are the future little queen mother, who would brag about you.

I was really praised for two sentences, and I didn't know how many pounds and taels I had. ”

The girl next to her patted her forehead, and she really wanted to gamble Xu Yunke's mouth with stinky socks.

"Yun Ke, can you say a few words?" She grabbed Xu Yunke's hand tightly.

Xu Yunke's beautiful face instantly turned hideous.

No matter which one King Huai'an likes, today, she is going to slap Jiang Xuan in the face, aren't they intimate?

Things gather by like, people by groups, Jiang Xuan is a shameless and pretentious person, so Lan Ying and Chen Jiao who play well with her are also the same.

The shame of being rejected by King Huai'an will run rampant in Xu Yunke's chest, and she can only bite her lips tightly, even if she tastes blood, she will not let go.

Jiang Xuan looked at Xu Yunke's hideous face with a smile, "Miss Xu, are you sure you want to compare with me?" Although my riding skills are not very good, since you have such a strong demand, I am sorry not to compare with you.

Just, how about we make a bet? Who loses, from now on, see the other side walking around, how? ”

Xu Yunke's face froze, she didn't see Jiang Xuan's equestrian skills just now, but she knew that she was good, and even the master who taught her at the beginning said that there were few noblewomen in the capital who could compare.

That master was the captain of the Black Cavalry back then, and he was very good at equestrianism.

She bit her lip, "That's it, whoever loses will have to kowtow to the winner three times, how about it?" ”

Jiang Xuan laughed, it seems that Xu Yunke is very confident, so does she want to try her best or not?

Because it is a horse club, those who have horses in each girl's family will bring their usual horses over, and those who do not have them will use the horses provided by the Xu family.

Jiang Xuan naturally brought her own horse over, she was already wearing riding clothes, and she didn't need to change her clothes, but she went to the stable and patted her horse.

"Today's sister's face depends on you, baby ......"

Lan Ying and Chen Jiao on the side listened to her words, and laughed out loud, asking Ma Er to call her sister, which is probably what Jiang Xuan would do.

Over there, Xu Yunke was also comforting his horse, and when he heard Jiang Xuan's words, he glanced over coldly.

Pretending!

The two soon went to the competition, and when they heard that Jiang Xuan was going to compete with Xu Yunke, there were already many people around them.

"Jiaojiao, do you think Sister Ah Xuan will win?" Lan Ying looked at Jiang Xuan worriedly, blaming her, if she didn't ask Sister Ah Xuan to come to the club, her aunt and grandmother wouldn't let Sister Ah Xuan come, if she didn't come, there would be no such competition.

In case Sister Ah Xuan loses, how can she be good?

"Don't worry, Sister Xuan knows it." Chen Jiao comforted Lan Ying and looked at Jiang Xuan's straight body immediately, "If Xu Yunke said that to Sister Xuan today, she will definitely do her best and will not let Xu Yunke be in the limelight." ”

After all, Lan Ying had only known Jiang Xuan, and she didn't know much about it, "What if I get hurt?" ”

Chen Jiao patted Lan Ying on the shoulder, "Don't think about it so much, Sister Xuan won't lose, otherwise, what face will she have in the future, and the emperor will have no face."

Sister Xuan wouldn't let such a thing happen. “

Xu Yunke represents the Xu family, Sister Xuan represents the Jiang family, she heard her mother talk about the grievances between the Jiang and Xu families, Xu Yunke just now clearly slapped the Jiang family in the face, Sister Ruoxuan really didn't react at all.

Then, in the future, the Jiang family will be a soft persimmon that everyone can step on in the capital.

How could Sister Xuan let such a thing happen?

Murong Han said a few words in front of Lin Hao, he wanted to leave, but he didn't expect a subordinate to come to report, saying that Jiang Xuan and Xu Yunke were trying to ride a horse, his face changed slightly, and he ordered his subordinates,

"Send our people to follow behind Miss Jiang, don't let her have any accidents."

The subordinates took the order, and the entourage behind Murong Han said, "Young master, Miss Jiang grew up in the frontier, and her riding skills should not be weak, so you don't have to worry so much." ”

Murong Han shook his head, he knew how Ah Xuan's riding skills were, and what he didn't worry about was the Xu family.

Who knows if Xu Yunke's appearance was instigated by the Xu family.

In short, Ah Xuan can't have an accident.

His hands were clenched into fists, his joints turned white, and he couldn't wait to follow Ah Xuan's side like before to feel at ease.

"You go, go to Ah Xuan in person, follow behind, and be sure to ensure her safety."

Over there, the gong sounded, and the competition began.

Jiang Xuan pulled the reins and touched the head of the horse under him, where Xu Yunke had already pulled off the horse and took the lead.

Although Xu Yunke is the owner of the Jockey Club, there are still other people in the Xu family present, Xu Bin, several other young masters of the Xu family, and girls are there.

Hearing that Xu Yunke and Jiang Xuan were trying to ride skills, their faces were not very good.

Originally, the Xu family's horse club was not mainly about the level of riding, but to give unmarried men and women in the capital a chance to look at each other.

By the way, today is also a day for the unmarried men and women of the Xu family to look at each other.

Xu Yunke is so bold, if he wins, it's okay to say, if he loses, do you want the face of the Xu family?

Other people's girls are fine, but that's Jiang Xuan, the girl of the Jiang family!

On the racecourse, Xu Yunke galloped in front, beating the horses under him with a mission.

She didn't even dare to look back, she just wanted to keep rushing forward, she couldn't lose, and she couldn't afford to lose.

She knew that King Huai'an was also present, if she won Jiang Xuan, would King Huai'an give her a little bit of his eyes?

Jiang Xuan didn't use all her strength, although she didn't go to the battlefield, but outside Guangyang Mansion, there was a boundless grassland, she could run wildly, and her riding skills were also taught by her father himself, so she could compete with the soldiers in those cavalry camps.

She grabbed the horse's belly and ran briskly forward.

But after a while, she surpassed Xu Yunke and surpassed her a lot, and when she was about to reach the end, she suddenly squinted.

Then the sound of breaking the sky remembered, and she suddenly fell down, hiding in the horse's belly.

With a "buzz", a sharp arrow passed through her and slammed into the trunk of a tree in the distance.

Although it is a Jockey Club today, there is also an archery project, and this arrow, is someone shooting it crooked, or is it ...... Assassin?

Jiang Xuan was shocked and leaned down on the horse's back, and soon, she took the lead to the finish line.

Xu Yunke chased after him angrily, he didn't expect Jiang Xuan's riding skills to be so good, she actually played tricks on the horse, riding sideways, is it really shameless?

She heard the applause behind her, and someone even whistled.

She looked at Jiang Xuan with a hideous face, "I didn't expect Miss Jiang's riding skills to be good, and she couldn't hide it." I'll walk around the girl in the future. ”

Xu Yunke saw Lin Hao, the king of Huai'an, in the crowd, he was looking at this side, with a smile on his face, he was not looking at himself, but at Jiang Xuan!

I see!

Xu Yunke felt a sadness in her heart, if it weren't for this competition, she would still be wasting her efforts on Lan Ying and Chen Jiao.

It turned out that King Huai'an was looking at Jiang Xuan, and the person he liked was Jiang Xuan!

Her heart set off a storm, and her face was pale, "It's really a vixen, seducing the old one, and seducing the young one." ”

When Jiang Xuan heard this, she was suddenly inexplicable, when did she seduce the old and young of the Xu family?

However, she didn't have the heart to quarrel with Xu Yunke.

She hadn't forgotten the arrow that came from nowhere.

She grabbed the reins and asked Xu Yunke, "Where did your family set up an arrow target today?" ”

Xu Yunke glanced at her coldly and didn't answer her.

The two of them were already near the edge of the woods, and the only sound was the rustle of the leaves in the wind.

Jiang Xuan looked around vigilantly.

Xu Yunke pulled the reins, kicked the horse's belly, turned around, and headed towards the starting point.

As soon as she turned around, there was a sound of breaking the sky, Jiang Xuan's heart sank, if the arrow just now was shot carelessly, then now it can no longer be explained carelessly.

The strings in her head tensed instantly, and she was short, crawling on the back of her horse, and the arrow was missing.

Xu Yunke in front was unconscious, probably unconvinced, and turned around and came towards Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan didn't expect her to come back, and the sound of breaking the air sounded in her ears for the third time, but this time, the arrow was stopped in mid-air with an arrow.

"Xu Yunke, if you don't want to die, just leave quickly."

Xu Yunke couldn't listen to Jiang Xuan's tone, not only did he not retreat, but stepped forward, "Jiang Xuan, you vixen, shameless slut." Everyone is really blind. I actually think you're good. ”

Jiang Xuan ignored her and looked around vigilantly, wanting to see from which direction the arrow was shot just now, and where the arrow intercepted halfway came from.

Was it stopped by Lin Yi's secret guard beside her?
