Chapter 43: Assassination (1)

Qiu Ruo walked up at this time and said, "Xue Yan said just now that the master is going to have dinner with everyone this morning. ”

Su Yi was a little surprised, since he went out on patrol, the emperor only ate with everyone at lunch, and breakfast and supper were enjoyed alone in the house, why did he have breakfast with everyone now? Just as he was wondering, Qiu Ruo had already walked in.

Su Yi had to follow in, and when he entered the main hall of the garden, he saw that everyone was already sitting, and Hongli was also sitting in the right position, looking at the people close to the emperor, and there was a large round mahogany table in the main hall, which was just enough for a group of people to sit around.

Everyone was already sitting upright, Qiu Ruo and Xue Yan sat together, there was only a vacant seat left next to it, but on the other side was Gu Yanzhao, looking at the dining table, there was no extra place, Su Yi looked at Gu Yanzhao, her cheeks were unconsciously dyed with a hint of crimson, and when she looked back, she saw Qiu Ruo smiling teasingly and knew that she did it on purpose, the shopkeeper had already started to serve, Su Yi didn't dare to delay any longer, so she had to sit next to Gu Yanzhao with her head down.

Hongli didn't pay attention to the strange atmosphere between Su Yi and Gu Yanzhao, his eyes were on Hongday, Hongli was sitting next to Xing'er, but at this time his eyes were not on his wife but on Su Yi, Hongli's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he took a sip of porridge lightly.

Xing'er had already discovered Hongday's abnormality, and she gave Hongday a raw frying on her face that was gentle like water, but her heart had already condensed into frost.

Qiu Ruo took a bite of the bun, looked at Su Yi with a smile, and then looked at Gu Yanzhao, Su Yi saw the banter on her face, her cheeks felt more and more hot, and she hurriedly put a piece of peach blossom cake in front of her, and whispered, "Can't you eat well?" What do you do all the time? ”

Qiu Ruo smiled lightly, but Gu Yanzhao knew it in his heart, although his face was silent, his ears changed slightly, and he became red, Su Yi has always liked to eat more in breakfast, and he was full after eating a little, but because everyone was eating, he had to sit quietly, but when he was bored, he felt that his hands were suddenly warm, the familiar touch, the warm palm, was clearly the person next to him, Su Yi didn't dare to look at his expression and was afraid that the person on the table would be suspicious, so he had to sit stiffly, and suddenly a warm voice sounded, " Today is the flower temple fair here, let's go shopping together, and feel the folk customs. The warm palm suddenly let go of her hand, Su Yi felt a little stunned in her heart, and sighed softly but drowned in the joy of everyone.

The street has already been full of people, cloth dragons, lion dances, colorful boats, so lively, people will be the entire street around the water but did not see the god of flowers, Qiu Ruo couldn't help but pull a middle-aged man and asked, "Big brother, isn't the god of flowers today?" Why didn't you see the god of flowers? ”

The man hurriedly said, "You're from out of town, aren't you?" The god of flowers will not leave from Dongliu Street until noon. With that, he hurried forward.

Hongli said, "I see, then let's take a stroll here first, you can be casual, go and see where you like and don't care about me." ”

Ji Huang said with a smile, "When we came, we passed by an antique shop, I saw that the calligraphy in the main hall was very good, Jing Han, how about accompanying me to take a look?" ”

Wu Shulai said, "There are so many people here, I'm worried about my lord's safety, so let's let Master Gu and Lord Xu accompany me?" ”

Ji Huang's face turned pale and a little embarrassed when he heard this, Gu Yanzhao was about to speak but heard the emperor say, "It's okay, you can just go." It's easy to have such an opportunity, and when I go back to the palace in the future, I want to come out to play, but I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity. ”

Gu Yanzhao arched his hand and said, "Thank you, master." ”

Hongli smiled faintly, Gu Yanzhao glanced at Su Yi and left with Ji Huang.

"Then let's go play, too. I just saw a shadow puppet show there, shall we go and have a look? Xue Yan said to Su Yi and Qiu Ruo.

Su Yi nodded, Qiu Ruo was even happier, and happily went to the place to watch the shadow puppet show, and here Hongli sent the rest of the people to play, and only Wu Shulai and Xu Zhenhai were left in a group of more than a dozen people.

"You don't want to see shadow puppetry? Why don't you watch it again? Xue Yan was watching the shadow puppet and sneering, and Su Yi saw Qiu Ruo stunned there, so she asked.

"Why hasn't Brother Qin come over yet?" Qiu Ruo muttered.

"Huh...... So you're waiting for Brother Qin? Su Yi smiled and raised her eyebrows.

"yes...... Ah, no. Qiu Ruo reacted ignorantly and hurriedly argued.

Su Yi smiled, "No, Brother Qin is here." ”

As he spoke, he made a look, Qiu Ruo found that Qin Han and Peng Peng were walking in this direction, and couldn't help but blush, Qin Han also found them, and said with a smile: "Is the shadow puppet good-looking?" ”

Su Yi said, "No matter how good the shadow puppet is, it is not as good as ......" but he wanted to say it and stopped.

Qin Han was stunned for a moment, Qiu Ruo understood what she meant and gently pinched her arm, Su Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "I think it's fun to have a ring over there, Xue Yan, let's take a look, if Qiu Ruo doesn't like it, you don't need to go." ”

Xue Yan nodded, Su Yi glanced at Qiu Ruo meaningfully, and left with Xue Yan.

Here Peng Peng had already seen the inextricable friendship between the young people, and said dryly, "I'm old, it's really useless, I'm tired after just a few steps, alas, it seems that I can only go back to the inn." With that, he turned his head and walked away.

If Qin Han still didn't understand what this situation was, then he was really an elm head, Qiu Ruo stood in front of him timidly, his cheeks dizzy, but he felt that his chest was blocked, and he felt a heavy pain.

"Oops! It's not in the trap, it's so boring! Xue Yan sighed as she looked at the vase an inch away.

Su Yi smiled and said, "It's not a pity if you don't win, even if such a big vase is hit, how can we get it back?" ”

"But you got a mirror case, and I didn't hit anything." Looking at the small and delicate mirror box in Su Yi's hand, Xue Yan felt even more angry.

"If you like to give it to you, it doesn't have to be so serious to pass the mood." Su Yi handed the mirror box to Xue Yan and persuaded.

"No, I didn't get it myself, and it's not fun for me to ask for it. Let's go ahead and have a look, shall we? As he spoke, he walked forward on his own, and Su Yi sighed and had to follow.

Seeing the rock sugar gourd seller, Xue Yan suddenly laughed again, eating the rock sugar gourd and saw that the place in front of him was crowded with people, so he wanted to go and see, layer after layer at all, he couldn't see what was inside, Su Yi was reluctant to squeeze, but Xue Yan had to step forward to find out, and finally the two of them raised the rock sugar gourd in their hands high and squeezed it in.

I saw that it was a simple fence surrounded by wooden strips, but there was a huge disc two or three meters away, the disc was divided into twelve sections, in the interval was a small red line hanging colored balls, the top of each place was written, there was a pair of Go, a jade pendant, a guqin, a purple bamboo flute, a pair of gold chuan, a sword, a silk horse, etc., each interval corresponded to an item, a long table built into the fence, on which three wooden crossbows were placed, Hearing the person next to him say that you can get what is written on it by shooting the colored ball down with a crossbow, Xue Yan immediately came and was eager to try.

Xue Yan is different from Su Yi, she is born in the Manchu inlaid yellow flag, her father is a soldier, she has known archery and equestrian skills since she was a child, and she wants to try it when she sees a crossbow that is almost the same as a bow and arrow, but Su Yi doesn't understand this, so she only took a rock sugar gourd for Xue Yan and stood aside to watch.

Rao is Xue Yan tried his best to send more than a dozen arrows in a row but did not hit, the last arrow was very close to the colored ball but finally shot in that range, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, shook his head again and again, "This crossbow is really different from the bow, it seems that I can't shoot today, Su Yi, why don't you try it?" ”

As he spoke, he turned slightly sideways to make a seat empty for Su Yi, and Su Yi hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, "I don't even know how to use an ordinary bow and arrow, how can this be?" Let's take a look elsewhere. ”

As she turned around and wanted to leave, Xue Yan grabbed her, snatched the rock sugar gourd from her hand, frowned and said, "Will there be anything tight, didn't you say that you can't pass the mood?" Why not give it a try? ”

Su Yi had no choice but to take the crossbow and carefully lift it up according to the appearance of Xue Yan, the disc was as huge as a stone mill, but the colored ball on it was only round and small, and the silk thread on it was even more slender and difficult to aim, Su Yi raised and put down several times and thought about how to shoot the arrow but still hesitated, and suddenly put a hand on the crossbow, Su Yi looked back in surprise and saw Hongli standing behind her looking at her, and said gently, "You are holding the wrong posture, it should be like this, and the right hand must be forced." ”

Su Yi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he was standing behind her, his arm around her body and holding the crossbow, his hot breath came from her ears, she tried to maintain her composure, looking ahead, but the pinna and cheeks were slowly hot, and the fingers holding the crossbow couldn't exert their strength, Xu felt her weakness, Hongli put his hand on her hand, obviously felt her tremble slightly, Hongli pursed his lips and smiled, "Which one do you like?" ”

Su Yi's mind was blank, and when she heard Hongli ask her, Fang replied to her mind but didn't hear what he said, so she raised her head slightly in confusion, "Huh? ”

Hongli looked at her in a daze, she looked at him with a pair of autumn water-like eyes, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, as pure and agile as a deer, he suddenly remembered a small deer that he quietly met in the forest in the eighth year of Yongzheng, young and cute, with clear eyes without a trace of dust, they are so similar, people can't help but feel a lot of pity, he paused, and said, "Is there what you want here?" ”

Su Yi looked up at the handwriting on the disc, her eyes fell on the purple bamboo flute, and the crossbow was slightly adjusted to the section where the purple bamboo flute was located, Hongli held her hand and pulled the bowstring back and hung it on the hook, put the crossbow arrow on the arrow path, aimed at the buckle of the colored ball tie, buckled the hanging knife and the arrow galloped out, and suddenly shot the buckle on the purple bamboo flute, and the colored ball hanging on the silk line fell to the ground at once, and the people around gave bursts of applause, and the boss picked up the colored ball, took a box and handed it to Su Yi and said, "The girl is good at archery, and this purple bamboo flute will be yours." ”

Although the arrow was shot, it was not his own doing, hearing the boss's praise like this, Su Yi couldn't help but blush, took the box and said softly, "Thank you, boss." When he turned around, he found that Xue Yan had already left without knowing when, and there were many fewer onlookers, only Hongli stood in front of him in a brocade hat and a gorgeous costume, handsome and handsome, looking at himself lightly.

Su Yi pondered for a moment, and Fang said softly, "Thank you, master." ”

Hongli didn't speak, only glanced at her deeply, but this glance made Su Yi feel inexplicably flustered, and her heart jumped a few times and regained her calm, and she raised her eyes to see that Hongli was still looking at herself heavily, and that gaze only made people feel unfathomable.
