Chu Yunmu was satisfied, so he wanted to retreat, but who would have thought, Shen Shi said again: "Brother Mu, before you go to play the day after tomorrow, you have to do all your homework for today and tomorrow." ”

"Sister Chen, if he doesn't finish his homework, you can ignore him."

Shen said in a joking tone, with a smile on his graceful and beautiful face, in fact, he dragged Chu Qianchen into the water, since Chu Qianchen wanted to take Chu Yunmu out to play, of course he had to watch his homework.

When Chu Yunmu met Chu Qianchen's phoenix eyes, he chuckled in his heart: he escaped his mother's discipline, but he couldn't escape the "claws" of his second sister after all!

He asked the second sister to take him out to play, but he didn't let the second sister watch his homework!

Chu Yunmu swallowed his saliva, and had an ominous premonition.

His premonition came true, and in the next day and a half, he was targeted by Chu Qianchen, except for eating and sleeping, he was reading, writing, and memorizing.

It wasn't until the morning after tomorrow that he felt alive again.

On this day, Chu Yunmu got up early in the morning and rushed to Wanyan Courtyard without breakfast, for fear that he would miss the excitement if he went late.

So, the breakfast of the two was eaten in the carriage.

Fortunately, Mama Chen knows Chu Yunmu's temperament very well, and has already prepared a food box in advance, which contains snacks suitable for holding in your hands, such as xiaolongbao with thin skin and tender meat, sweet and fluffy frosted millet cake, crispy and soft cream fried cake, and so on.

In the carriage, the aroma is overflowing.

By the time the carriage arrived near the South Gate, they had finished their breakfast.

Mama Chen glanced at the street outside and said with a smile: "Second girl, fourth young master, the slave maid specially booked a private seat on the street of Furui Teahouse today, where the view is very good, and you can see the entire South Street clearly when you look down." ”

Mama Chen arranged it properly, but the plan could not catch up with the changes.

Before they reached South Street, the carriage became slower and slower, and it became difficult to move an inch.

Outside, there was a cacophony of human voices, near and far, coming into the carriage:

"Why are there so many people in front?"

"Don't you know? Today, there are Fanbang people who have come to Beijing to pay tribute, what is it called? ”

"Didn't you say it wouldn't be until noon? I still thought that I would hurry out of the city before the people of Fanbang came. ”

“……”

Chu Yunmu hurriedly opened the curtain and looked outside, only to see that the street in front of him was crowded with people, bustling and noisy.

Chu Yunmu was anxious, and said in a chattering voice: "Fortunately, we came out early, otherwise we would have missed it." ”

"This carriage can't go, second sister, let's go over."

"Lao Li, stop now!"

In fact, even if Chu Yunmu didn't shout to stop, the speed of this carriage was almost the same as that of a turtle.

Chu Yunmu grabbed one of Chu Qianchen's hands and couldn't wait to get out of the carriage.

Seeing that there were many people here, Chu Qianchen held his hand tightly and did not let go for a moment.

The direction of the south city gate was boiling, and the excited shouts came from the south to the north like waves: "Coming, coming, Fanbang people are coming!" ”

Everyone on the street had bright eyes, and one by one they curiously stretched their necks to look in the direction of the city gate, including Chu Yunmu.

Before the person arrives, the flower arrives first.

After a while, I saw a large red petal blown by the wind, and a rain of fine petals fell in mid-air.

It's just that unlike Gu Jue who entered the city that day, it was the flowers spontaneously thrown by the people of the capital, and today it was those Fanbang people who entered the city who scattered the petal rain.

The people spontaneously approached both sides of the street, and saw several camels with gorgeous saddles approaching this way, and on the backs of tall camels sat aliens in white clothes and white hats, with deep noses, most of them holding a basket of flowers, and scattering flower petals into the air.

The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the camel bells made a crisp and pleasant sound as the camels moved.

Behind the camel caravan, followed by a convoy, a canopy and gold-lacquered carriage that was completely different from the Central Plains slowly moved forward, and under the sunshine, the gorgeous carriage shone with golden light, and was extraordinarily luxurious.

The onlookers were all in high spirits, and the foreign tribes of Fanbang came to Beijing to pay tribute, representing the growing strength of Daqi.

If the Qi is strong, the people will be safe.

On the streets, there was a lot of people.

When the camels walked in front of the sister and brother, Chu Yunmu was reluctant to blink, his little face seemed to be glowing, he raised his head and pointed at the camel and said, "Second sister, you see, it's a camel, much taller than a horse!" ”

Chu Qianchen was also smiling, but because of Chu Yunmu, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes also softened, and her eyes were shining.

The alien team gradually drifted away, leaving only the petals on the ground and the scent of flowers in the air. The atmosphere on the street has not yet cooled down, and the onlookers are a little unsatisfied.

A woman in the back said in a sharp voice: "How can these Fanbang people wear white clothes and hats, as if they wear linen and filial piety, it is too unlucky!" ”

"That's it. I heard that those Fanbang people in the Western Regions don't have blue eyes, green eyes, and yellow eyes? I looked at the people who seemed to have black eyes. Another man said in a rough voice.

Chu Yunmu couldn't help but prick up his ears when he heard this.

Soon, another old man retorted: "Fanbang people don't all have strange eyes, I heard that this Anxi people have noses higher than us Han people, and eye sockets are deeper than ours......

"Yes, it seems that there are several tribes in the northeast, and there are a lot of blue-eyed and green-eyed ...... there."

“……”

I see. Chu Yunmu listened very energetically.

It's a pity that the people around me began to disperse between talking and laughing.

The originally crowded streets became sparse after a while, and there was a kind of coldness when people walked through tea.

After watching the excitement, Chu Yunmu, who had a hard time going out of the house, was reluctant to go back.

He looked around and remembered that he had seen a tea stall on the way here, so he pointed in the direction he came and proposed, "Second sister, I'm thirsty, shall we go to the tea stall on the street in front of me to drink a cup of herbal tea?" ”

Chu Qianchen looked down at him, looked at him, looked at him...... Seeing that Chu Yunmu almost began to feel weak, wondering whether to take a few more straw cats and dogs to coax Chu Qianchen, he heard Chu Qianchen say happily: "Let's go." ”

Chu Qianchen took Chu Yunmu's little hand and walked in the direction of the tea stall.

In order to go out today, Chu Qianchen picked out a robe for Chu Yunmu last night, and today the sisters and brothers are wearing clothes of similar colors, all of which are blue and blue, simple and plain, only embroidered some patterns on the corners of the robe, skirt corners and hems, looking like sons and girls from ordinary small families.

The siblings soon came to the tea stall at the end of the street.

This is a small tea stall on the side of the road, and a shed is made of blue oilcloth, but there are only six or seven tables, and the tables and chairs are now half occupied by tea customers.

Chu Yunmu was afraid that Chu Qianchen would regret it, so she couldn't wait to pull her to sit down, and ordered two pots of herbal tea.

The boss answered, and quickly served them herbal tea.

Chu Yunmu didn't care about the herbal tea at all, and looked at the next door with burning eyes.

There were four or five people performing juggling next to the tea shop, first a young man performed a sword-swallowing performance, and then a teenage girl in red performed a handstand lightly on the nine-fold case, her slender waist was as flexible as a willow branch, and she easily bent her waist reflexively, bending out an incredible posture, and her figure was incredibly soft.

"Awesome!"

Chu Yunmu clapped happily, and his palms turned red.

When the monkey raised by the juggling team came to ask for a reward with a straw hat, Chu Qianchen handed him a piece of broken silver, and it was written in his clear phoenix eyes.

Of course, Mama Chen also understood that where the fourth young master came to drink herbal tea, he just wanted to come to see the juggling.

Chu Yunmu smiled at Chu Qianchen, took the piece of broken silver and threw it into the straw hat held by the monkey.

The monkey was also a person who could read his face, and he jumped lightly on the table in front of Chu Yunmu with a straw hat, and continued to use it.

It accidentally bumped into a teapot, which toppled over, and the herbal tea inside flowed out of the spout and spread towards the table......

Chu Yun got up and hurriedly wanted to hide, but he got up in a hurry, and his body hit the bench behind him, making a "pop" sound.

The bench he was sitting on hit the bench behind him, causing a rude swearing.

Chu Yunmu turned his head to look, only to find that the table behind him was sitting at a table of people at some point.

The bearded man closest to Chu Yunmu stood up, eight feet tall, tall and burly, his chest was a puddle of hazel tea stains, which stood out on his lake-blue robe.

The bearded beard's slender eyes glared at Chu Yunmu fiercely, sharp and fierce

The monkey knew that he was in trouble, and ran away with his straw hat in his hand, and he didn't bother to ask the other tea guests for a reward.

The atmosphere in the tea shed froze, and the other tea guests also looked at Chu Yunmu and the bearded beard, most of them worried.

The combat effectiveness of the two sides is really far apart.

Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu are sisters and brothers, one is a girl's family, the other is a child, and they have no power to restrain the chicken, in comparison, these three Fanbang people are all tall and big, and they are really going to be right, and the people who suffer must be these two sisters and brothers.

“#￥%*amp; ......" The bearded beard cursed, and when he raised his hand, he wanted to greet Chu Yunmu in the face......

Chu Yunmu was stunned for a moment because he didn't understand the other party's words.

Fortunately, Chu Qianchen, who was sitting on his right hand, quickly pulled him and pulled him to his side.

Chu Yunmu didn't understand, but Chu Qianchen knew that the other party was speaking Nan Hao, and it seemed that this person was from Nan Hao.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the court was corrupt and the people were not able to make a living, and Emperor Taizu of the Great Qi Dynasty rose up and laid down half of the country. As a last resort, the last emperor of the previous dynasty retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, and the capital was Lincheng, known as the Southern Wei Dynasty, but the Southern Wei Dynasty only lasted for half a year, and was destroyed by the Wuhe clan, and the Wuhe clan established the Dahao Dynasty, and the Great Qi Linjiang was opposed. The national strength of the two countries is comparable, and Nanhao is far from being comparable to the border tribes of the Anxi people.

The relationship between the Northern Qi and the Southern Hao was extremely delicate, and in the first 30 years of the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the two countries were in constant disputes, and it was not until the reign of the first emperor 20 years ago that the two countries reached an armistice.

In the past 20 years, although the two countries have been at peace for the time being, no one knows when this peace will be broken.

On this Halloween Day, Nan Hao also sent envoys to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, but Nan Hao's envoys arrived half a month ago.

Obviously, these men may be part of the envoys.

"Little rabbit, dare to hide!" Qiu Hu angrily scolded Nan Hao again, strode towards Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu, pointed at Chu Yunmu's nose with one hand, and refused to let go without teaching Chu Yunmu a lesson.

Chu Qianchen took half a step forward, protected Chu Yunmu behind him, and quietly took out a few silver needles and hid them between his fingers.

Although her skills are far from being comparable to Yun Zhan and them, she also learned some superficial fist and foot kung fu from the prince in her previous life.

The prince said that the strength of the girl's family is not as good as that of the man, and she must learn a little more, so that others will suffer, it is better than her own loss.

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and stood there straight, without saying a word, but exuding a calm and unhurried momentum from his bones.

The bearded beard didn't pay attention to Chu Qianchen, the little girl who was up to his shoulders, and continued to approach, and his hand stretched out suddenly, approaching Chu Qianchen......

"Tama."

At this time, a warm and clear male voice sounded, and at this tense moment, it was like a mountain stream flowing from a clear spring.

Obviously, he spoke Nanhao language, and most of the people in this tea shed couldn't understand it, but they felt that there was a calming tranquility in the unhurried male voice.

Qiu Hu and the others around him, including Chu Qianchen's sister and brother, all looked at the owner of the voice.

The other party was dressed in a monk's robe as white as snow, white socks and white shoes, and he was spotless.

It was a young monk in his twenties, with extremely outstanding appearance, eyes like stars, eyebrows like ink, clear facial features, and the whole person was like a Zhilan jade tree.

The white monk's robe on this monk not only did not make people feel uncomfortable wearing linen and filial piety, but it was very suitable for him, exuding a kind of transcendent beings' noble dust, as bright as moonlight.

He looked at the bearded Hu Tama with a gentle expression, and a light smile on his lips made people feel good when they saw it.

Tama pointed to the puddle of tea stains on his chest, and said to the monk in Nan Hao's language: "He has defiled my family crest, and I must make him pay!" ”

The hazel tea stain happened to be on the tiger head stripe on his chest.

Chu Qianchen sighed silently in his heart, mourning for Chu Yunmu's luck, Nanhao people are proud of their family, and soiling his family crest is tantamount to humiliating his family.

Chu Qianchen looked at the bearded beard and said aloud in Chinese: "I heard that Haoguo still follows the respect of the strong, since this is the case, speak with strength, what do you think?" ”

Chu Qianchen was sure that the other party could understand Chinese.

After the establishment of the Hao Dynasty by the Nanhao people, they also began to sinicize and learn to speak Chinese, and since these people have a family coat of arms and can send envoys to Daqi, they are obviously the nobles of Nanhao.

As soon as she said this, the other tea guests in the tea shed were also surprised.

Recently, a lot of Fanbang people have come to Beijing, and they are all talking in the language of birds, and the tea customers are also used to it, and most of them look at these small clans and small countries with contempt.

But Nan Hao is different.

Nan Hao has always coveted Daqi on the side, half of the Central Plains is in the hands of Nan Hao, and all the people of Daqi have a dream in their hearts, hoping that one day the Daqi army can go south to recover the lost land of the Han people; At the same time, there is also a nightmare, afraid that one day the Nanhao people may go on a northern expedition.

Like a stone falling into the lake, there are ripples, some passers-by near the tea stall heard that there are Nanhao people here, and they also curiously surrounded them, and after a while, the tea stall was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

The bearded Hu Duomo looked at Chu Qianchen in amazement.

The Daqi girl in front of her eyebrows is picturesque, bright and beautiful, and her body is as small as his shoulders, like the delicate flowers on the branches, which are as weak and easy to break, and she can break her slender neck with only one hand.

"Are you ......" Tama raised his hand and pointed at Chu Qianchen, and asked rhetorically in standard Chinese, "You want to challenge me?" ”

He pulled the corners of his mouth, with a bit of ridicule in his expression, as if to say, you girl is too self-conscious.

Chu Qianchen pointed to the bow and arrow that he put aside, and asked instead of answering, "Are you good at bow shooting?" ”

What she meant was to shoot at the opponent with a bow.

The other two Nanhao people who were walking with Qiu Hu also understood, and glanced at each other with a mocking look on their faces.

Tama has amazing arm strength, although he can't be called the best archer in their world, but he is also a good player, far from being comparable to a thin little girl.

To put it mildly, it's like a big man can't compare needles and threads with a little girl, the two shouldn't be compared together, how can a grasshopper shake a big tree!

Tama grabbed his longbow and said in a rough voice, "Little girl, don't cry if you lose!" As long as you and your brother kowtow to me to make a compensation, I will have a lot of adults and let you sisters and brothers go. ”

"Second sister." Chu Yunmu grabbed Chu Qianchen's skirt a little nervously.

He was only five years old, and he had never encountered such a situation, so he was a little panicked.

Panic, he felt that he was a man, of course he had to stand up at this time, and he would be hit twice by this bear at most!

Chu Qianchen rubbed Chu Yunmu's head and winked at him, meaning don't worry, she knows it in her heart.

Chu Qianchen directly stuffed Chu Yunmu into Mama Chen's arms, then turned his head to look at the juggling team outside the tea stall, and said to the girl in red: "This girl, can you lend me your bow and arrow?" ”

The jugglers also had bows and arrows, one of which was smaller than the others, and it was obvious that this bow and arrow should belong to the girl in red who performed the case.

The girl in red nodded repeatedly, pointed to her bow and arrows, and called to the monkey, "Huahua." ”

The monkey immediately understood, skillfully scooped up the bow and arrow, sent it to Chu Qianchen, and then ran away again.

Chu Qianchen checked the sheep's horn bow and was quite satisfied, although this bow was not a top-notch bow, it was very suitable for a girl like her, who was not strong enough.

Chu Qianchen didn't say a word, took the arrow, buckled the string, pulled the bow, a series of actions were like flowing clouds, and the bow opened like an autumn moon.

Tama and other Nanhao people are all good at bow shooting, and at a glance, they can see that Chu Qianchen is not a showman, he should have practiced.

"Whoosh!"

The feather arrow shot out at a rapid pace, with a cold sound of breaking through the air, as fast as lightning......

In the next moment, the feathered arrow had already hit a willow leaf tied with a red rope a hundred paces away.

The arrow nailed the willow leaf to the trunk of the willow tree, and the trunk was shaken by the arrow, and the fallen leaves fell like rain.

Chu Qianchen's arrow shot neatly, causing an uproar among the passers-by who were watching the excitement around.

"Bang Bang!"

The girl in red was the first to applaud, and the monkey squatting next to her was also clapping.

Chu Yunmu was stunned, for fear of falling behind, and applauded desperately. The second sister is really amazing!

"Sister, your archery skills are so good! 100 steps through the Yang! The girl in red praised sincerely.

There were a dozen red ropes tied to the willow branches of the willow tree, all of which had been tied by the jugglers from before, who were originally used to perform throwing knives.

Tama couldn't hide his astonishment and looked Chu Qianchen up and down.

They Hao people have always respected the strong, and Tama didn't think that his archery would lose to Chu Qianchen, but this little girl was only a teenager and had such an archery, which was really amazing.

He thought that when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, his archery skills were probably not as accurate as hers.

It wasn't until this moment that Chu Qianchen really caught up in his eyes, and he had the qualifications to talk to him, or rather, to talk about the conditions.

Tama pursed his lips, "Little girl, for the sake of your archery, I won't bother with your brother." ”

If he had to compare himself with a little girl like Chu Qianchen, even if he won, it would be disgraceful.

Another Nan Hao man took out a broken silver from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said in Hao's language: "Let's go back to the post house first!" ”

Tama and his companions walked out of the tea stall.

The white-clothed monk made a one-handed Buddhist salute to Chu Qianchen, and smiled slightly, like a spring breeze turning into rain, his eyebrows became more and more warm.

He turned to leave, and between his steps, the hem of the monk's robe rippled slightly, and his back was thin and straight, like a fresh breeze.

Several others followed him, and the group clearly respected him.

"Second sister," Chu Yunmu pulled out his legs and rushed over, grabbed Chu Qianchen's left hand, and looked at her with bright eyes, "You are too powerful!" ”

"Can you teach me archery when you go back?"

"I'm so smart, I'm sure I can come out of the blue!"

As he spoke, he boasted about himself.

"Then you can't complain about being tired!" Chu Qianchen couldn't help but hook his lips, gave the borrowed bow and arrow to the monkey named Huahua, and also gave it the plate of plums they had just ordered, which was regarded as a reward for it and a reward for borrowing a bow and arrow.

"I know, I know." Chu Yunmu said in a small way, "My mother said, only when you suffer hardship can you become a master!" ”

After experiencing this small turmoil, Mama Chen was still a little frightened, and said to the two masters: "Second girl, fourth young master, the carriage is here." ”

What she meant was to invite her sister and brother back home.

The carriage of the Hou Mansion had stopped outside the tea stall.

Chu Yunmu had seen enough of the excitement, and now he just wanted to go back to the house to learn bow shooting with Chu Qianchen, so he immediately got into the carriage.

Chu Qianchen followed behind him, she took Amber's hand, and was about to step on the carriage, when her eyes inadvertently swept over a restaurant diagonally opposite, Gu Jue was sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, looking lazy.

When he looked down from above, it seemed to be looking down from the nine heavens, and he was as cold and indifferent as the moon shining on the cold pool.

Chu Qianchen's eyes widened slightly, he didn't expect to meet Gu Jue here.

She had such good luck today!

Chu Qianchen smiled, smiling obediently and softly, delicate and soft.

So happy?! Gu Jue couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and his cold eyebrows softened a little.

Chu Qianchen was happy at first, then froze again with a smile, and thought sullenly: I can only leave today, what a pity! pity

She couldn't help but glance at Mama Chen next to her and regretted it. I knew I wouldn't bring Mama Chen out.

If it was only her and Brother Mu, she could take Brother Mu to find the prince and say a few words.

It was hard to buy a thousand dollars, Chu Qianchen wilted and helped Amber's hand into the carriage, and could only comfort herself in her heart: the day after tomorrow is the day to see the prince, and she can talk to the prince again...... By the way, she can also bring a box of walnut crisp to the prince!

Gu Jue, who was leaning against the window, put her right fist to her lips and chuckled, as if she looked at the cat's tail behind her hanging down in frustration, not at all like her arrogant and confident appearance when she held the bow and arrow.

"Yun Zhan," Gu Jue said as he looked at the feather arrow that shot at the trunk of the willow tree, "her aim is better than yours." ”

The arrow that Chu Qianchen shot just now, Gu Jue and Yun Zhan and Mo Shen in the elegant seat also saw it.

Yun Zhan bowed his head calmly: "Indeed." ”

Looking at Yun Zhan, he also felt that Fang Cai had made a correct decision, and if that bearded Hu had to stand with Chu Qianchen, it would be difficult to win her.

But if it was a comparison of cavalry shooting, shooting range, and shooting living creatures, it would be difficult for Chu Qianchen to compare with them.

However, in this game, Chu Qianchen shot this arrow first, which means that Qiu Hu is already in a passive situation, and he must win Chu Qianchen in the vertical shooting, then he can be considered a winner.

Gu Jue picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

This second girl from the Yongding Marquis Mansion not only has extraordinary medical skills, but also has a very good bow shooting, and has obviously practiced persistently for several years.

Thinking of her situation in the Hou Mansion, Gu Jue became more and more curious about where Chu Qianchen's good archery technique came from.

This girl's body is full of confusion, but she doesn't have the slightest malice towards him, but is full of ...... Respect, admiration, or should I say admiration?

Below, the carriage of the Marquis of Yongding drove away along the street, and Yun Zhan's eyes moved to the group on the other side, looking at the back of the white-clothed monk and couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, that one won't be ......"

"Not bad." Gu Jue nodded in affirmation of Yun Zhan's guess, "He's Jialou." ”

The layman of the white-clothed monk is named Wuhe Jialou, and he also has an identity, which is the eldest prince of the Nanhao Wuhe clan.

------Off topic------

Nanhao and Beiqi are two equal countries. Somewhat similar to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
