Chapter 179
"yes, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. I'm sorry Brother Fenghuang, I was dizzy at the beginning, for this damn throne, I hurt the person I love the most, I can't disobey my father's holy decree, I bear the remorse of hurting him, I bear the pain of not being able to return my beloved to the capital, except for looking at this portrait day and night to confess, day and night, I can't do anything, he is indeed the one I killed, I am the culprit who hurt him and killed him. O wind, I'm sorry for you. The emperor threw himself on the portrait and cried loudly.
"Okay, don't cry, don't forget that you are still an emperor, crying to summon eunuchs, palace maids, and guards will lose your noble face, I have committed the crime of offense, and the crime is unforgivable!" Long Zheng had no sympathy for the emperor's repentance and pain.
"Zheng'er, I know that I am unforgivable, and you will never be able to forgive me. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask you to answer that I will stay in the palace and don't rush back to the border, okay? ”
Long Zheng wanted to refuse, but he remembered that when his father was dying, he begged him to return to the palace and listen to the emperor's words, so he nodded hesitantly: "I promise you, stay in the palace." But don't think that I will forgive you, I will recognize you. ”
"Okay, as long as you promise to stay." When she left, her hands were covered in blood, but she didn't feel it, just because she was thinking: I, Lingyun Zhaoying finally has a bright day! Lingyun Linhui and Qingnuo, you all wait and see! I will sit in the back seat of the supreme one!
A morning has passed, and the draft has just begun to lose away, and there are still all the show girls who have never seen it. Ye Xiaofei returned to the Xuqing Palace and took a bath, the morning sun was very full, and Ye Xiaofei was sweating.
Lunch consisted of quail crystal soup, pork liver soup with baiji, abalone and bird's nest porridge, swan, red chestnut, kung pao hare and lily cake. Fortunately, there are no chopsticks in the Void Dynasty, but Sanzhi said, Ye Xiaofei can eat slowly.
Those show girls don't have such good treatment, most of the daughters of rich and noble families ask maids to buy food, and the poor families can only eat the warm water dishes provided by the palace.
Lingyun Prime Minister's Mansion
"Take pictures, see my father and aunt." Take the picture and go home early, please be safe.
"Hmm. Zhaoying, you are sixteen this year, and I haven't given you a small name. It was a father's negligence. If it weren't for your aunt mentioning it, my father and I... Ling Yun Haoyu was a little ashamed.
"Father, it's enough to have your love in the photo, why do you need any small characters?" Zhao Rou said softly.
"I'll go too, I've never tied a fish, the fish is slippery, it's not so easy to tie. Will this stick work? It would be nice if there were arrows and javelins. Long Tian was also busy putting on his clothes and shouting.
The spring water is clear, several fish are clearly visible, swimming happily in the water, the dragon kite rolled up the corners of his trousers, walked to the middle of the water, raised the sharpened wooden stick and slammed it to the fish in the water, it was really a steady one, and after a while, several fish were tied.
"Oops! Brother Huang, you see that Brother Zheng is so powerful. Long Hao picked up the dead fish that the dragon kite threw to the shore and praised the dragon kite repeatedly.
"Brother Zheng, you let me tie one too." Long Tian took the wooden stick handed over by the dragon kite and stabbed it at the fish swimming in the water in the same way as the dragon kite: "Oops." The fish didn't tie up, and it slipped and threw itself into the water.
"Are you alright?" The dragon kite hurriedly helped up the dragon.
"It's okay, it's just that the fish is not tied, why are you just tied one by one?"
"It's not that easy to tie a fish, and I couldn't tie a single one when I first started to tie a fish."
"You're going to fish if you're fine? Yours is the case. ”
"I didn't learn to fish for fun."
"Then why?"
"Don't ask. I've got enough of the fish, so let's go up and grill them." ”
"Oops, I didn't think about bringing a fire, so how do you bake it?"
"It's okay, you guys wait here, I'll go to the mountains and pick up some dry branches."
Soon the dragon kite came down with a large bundle of dry branches.
He crouched down and rubbed two dry branches against each other, and after rubbing for a while, smoke came out of the branches, and after a while, the branches caught fire.
"The fire is burning, Brother Zheng, you are so powerful, you can do anything." Long Hao was so happy that he hurriedly handed over the fish.
"What's so powerful about this, very early ancestors would use this to drill wood for fire." The dragon kite took the fish and hung it on the sharpened wooden stick and roasted it.
"Tie fish, drill wood to make fire, people who often walk in the wild will do this, how can you do this? It stands to reason that a noble little prince shouldn't know this? Long Tian didn't have any doubts.
"yes. Aren't there people around you? How can you make these yourself? Isn't it okay for you to practice martial arts, learn the art of war, and read good books? "Long Hao is so strange.
"Okay, the fish is grilled, didn't you all say you were hungry just now? Come, eat, we will go back as soon as we are full, you see, the sun is setting. The dragon kite avoided answering.
After eating the grilled fish and drinking some spring water, everyone walked to the foot of the mountain with ten times more energy. A carriage was escorted by a team of guards towards the palace.
The carriage was escorted to the Royal Palace.
"Little prince, it's here, get out of the car."
The curtain opened, and a twelve-year-old boy stepped into the carriage.
The eunuch took him to a palace, guarded by many guards, and they bowed: "Little prince, please come in." ”
The little boy walked into the palace and saw a man in his thirties in a yellow dragon robe with his back to him, as if looking at a painting hanging on the wall.
"Zheng'er, come here, come to the uncle's side, let the uncle take a good look at you." The man turned, his voice shaking.
The little boy did not move forward, he knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully: "The dragon kite knocks on the uncle." ”
"Zheng'er doesn't have to be formal, get up quickly." The emperor hurried forward, trying to help the dragon kite. Long Zheng quickly stood up, but his body flashed to the side, dodging the emperor's supporting hands: "Uncle Xie." ”
"Kite, does the wind tell you everything, then you should understand that I am yours..."
"You will always be my uncle." Long Zheng hurriedly interrupted the emperor's words.
"You are blaming me and blaming me, when I heard the news of the death of Brother Fenghuang at the border pass, I was also thunderous and heartbroken." The emperor turned to look at the portrait on the wall with a sad expression. On the portrait, a beautiful man about 20 years old with facial features similar to a dragon kite is smiling in the midst of the purple and red flowers.
"You will still be sad for him, and you are not responsible for his death? In order to become the emperor, you lured him and forced him to be banished to the border forever, and he was not allowed to return to the capital, so that he died in battle, you are still embarrassed to say sad, are you worthy? You are still embarrassed to look at his portrait and pretend to miss him very much, you can only lie to my infatuated father, but unfortunately he is gone, do you still want to lie to me again? Long Zheng seemed to forget that it was the emperor in front of him, the uncle he should respect, and complained angrily.
"That's not good, you are favored by the king, why doesn't the prime minister's daughter have a small name? I just saw the small-character boudoir name of your generation in the history of the clan, and your father and I both think that 'Fangyu' is a good small-character boudoir name, what do you think? Qingnuo smiled.
"Rippling weeds, vines and grasses. Very good, very good, Fang Yu thanked his father and aunt. Zhaoying hurriedly thanked him, and then returned to the Zhaoying Pavilion.
"Hmph, still Fangyu? Obviously it is a lotus, and the flower language of the lotus is the love that cannot be obtained. What is that dead slut's heart? Zhao Ying said angrily.
"I think it looks like a big tree, and there is a person lying under it reading a book leisurely." Long Tian looked at the Heavenly Dao for a long time.
"Brother Zheng, what do you see?"
"I saw it like a horse, and immediately sat a majestic general, and behind him it seemed as if thousands of soldiers were rushing forward with him."
"If you look down the hill, the houses, the woods, and the fields below have become so small that people can't see them at all." As soon as he walked to the city gate, Lord Wu, the commander of the imperial guards who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, led a team of guards and hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Royal Highnesses the two princes, little prince, where have you been all day?" Your Majesty and the Empress are in a hurry, waiting in the palace, you can quickly escort the last general back to the palace.
"What, the father and the queen mother know, didn't they go to hold a hundred feasts? How would they know? Long Hao screamed first.
"The emperor can't stand the banquet in advance after staying for a long time as a centenarian, in fact, he wants to hold a family banquet with the two highnesses and the little prince during the Double Ninth Festival tonight, who knows that you didn't stay in the palace, and there is no one everywhere in the palace, so he hurriedly ordered us to come out of the palace to find it, do you think the emperor can not know?"
"Well, why did they stop the feast in advance? I also said that it would be better to come back sooner, and they would not know. ”
They were escorted into the Taiji Hall by the soldiers, and the emperor and empress, who were waiting in a hurry, hurriedly greeted them.
"Oh my God! My two little highnesses, where have you been, how did you make this mess? The queen saw that the clothes of the two princes were torn, and there were still scars on their faces, so she was anxious and angry.
"Zheng'er, are you alright?" The emperor immediately walked up to Long Zheng and asked with concern.
Long Zheng didn't answer, he turned sideways and ignored the emperor.
"We're going to climb the mountain today."
"Which mountain are you climbing, how can you climb a mountain and make it so miserable?" The queen continued to ask.
"Which is the highest mountain?" Long Tian hesitated for a moment, but still said it honestly.
"What? How old are you! Without the protection of the guards, he secretly climbed the highest mountain here, what if he accidentally fell under the cliff. The queen screamed: "Your Majesty, look, before the little prince came, how could they have the courage to do such a dangerous thing, this time you can't ignore it." ”
"Queen, before the matter is cleared up, how can you only blame Zheng'er? Tian'er, Hao'er, who did you say proposed to go? ”
"Father, I proposed it." Long Hao immediately admitted.
"Look, it has nothing to do with the kite. Hao'er, it's your fault this time, after you go down, copy 'Sun Tzu's Art of War' with me twenty times." ”
"That's a lot, can you reduce it?"
"Nope."
"Okay, I'll admit punishment, as long as you don't blame Brother Zheng."
"The art of war will be copied tomorrow, today is the Double Ninth Festival, and the hour is not too late, let's hold a family banquet."
"It's none of my business, I'll ask you to leave."
"Zheng'er, aren't you also a member of our family? How can you say it's none of your business? Stay, the family banquet can't be without your participation. ”
"From the day my father left the palace, we didn't dare to say that we were a member of the royal family, and I was not qualified to participate in this banquet, so I retired." Long Zheng said coldly, don't wait for the emperor to say anything more, turn around and leave.
"Zheng'er." The emperor called and collapsed on his seat in despair.
"Father, Brother Zheng said that the uncle was to leave the palace for his crimes, could it be that the uncle had committed some great crime, so he left the palace and stayed at the border until he died, and did not come back?"
"Oh my God, is this what you children should ask?" The queen hurriedly shouted to stop Long Tian.
"I'm sorry, father, I'm too tired from climbing the mountain today, I want to go back early to rest, and I'll have to copy the 'Art of War' in a hurry tomorrow morning." As soon as Long Hao saw that Long Zheng was gone, he didn't want to participate in any more family banquets.
"Let's go, let's go."
"The child is gone. Long Tian and Long Hao retreated.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about the child, you must take care of the dragon's body."
"Queen, you can go too, I want to be alone and be quiet."
After everyone had withdrawn, the emperor's heartbroken cries came from the hall. It's almost the New Year, and the palace is full of joy. Long Zheng turned a blind eye to all this, he picked it up early in the morning and prepared to go to the old place to practice martial arts.
"Brother Zheng." As soon as the dragon kite walked to a big tree, he was pulled behind the tree by a small palace maid.
"Which palace are you the palace maid? Say it. As soon as the dragon kite turned around, he pressed the little palace maid's body back against the tree, and his hand was twisted behind his back.
"Oops, it hurts, Brother Zheng let go, it's me, I'm your brother Hao."
"What?" Long Zheng let go of the little palace maid's hand, turned her face, and took a closer look: "How do you pretend to be a woman?" ”
"If I don't dress up like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the palace gate, so I will be arrested by them. You don't know that after climbing the mountain last time, my father punished me for copying the 'Art of War', and my mother grounded me again. ”
"Then what are you doing when you don't stay in the palace obediently?"
"I took advantage of the fact that the New Year was approaching, and my father and queen mother were very busy for a while, so I asked Cuiyu to help me put on this makeup before I ran out. I want to go out of the palace to play again, I just went to find the royal brother, after he climbed the mountain last time, he also wanted to go out of the palace to play again, but unfortunately he was ordered by his father to help deal with the New Year's affairs, so he can't go out, he's probably still beating his chest there. ”
"You still want to go out of the palace again, aren't you afraid of being punished again?"
"I'm not afraid. Brother Zheng, please go play with me, anyway, my father won't punish you. ”
"Hmph, I'm not afraid that he will punish me, okay, I'll go play with you."
"Brother Zheng, I'm sorry, you have to dress up as a woman like me, I've asked Cuiyu to wait in your room, let's go."
A carriage with four horses galloped to the palace gate, and the guards waiting for the palace gate stepped forward to check, lifted the curtain, and saw that it was two little palace maids: "Who are you?" What are you going to do out of the palace? Is there a token to go out of the palace? Why are there two more horses in the carriage this time? ”
"We are the palace maids who are sold in the imperial dining room, and we want to go out of the palace to buy the vegetables we eat today, this is the token, because it is almost the New Year, the imperial dining room is in a hurry to buy more vegetables and food, and come back quickly, so this time we sent two more horses."
The guards examined it carefully and let them go.
The carriage galloped to a large forest outside the city gates.
"Okay, Brother Zheng, I have already prepared a change of clothes and a bow and arrows in the car, let's change our clothes and go hunting."
Long Hao quickly took off her women's clothes and changed her clothes.
"Brother Zheng, change quickly, why haven't you moved for a long time?"
"You go down first, and I'll change it."
"We're all men, I'm not afraid of you, why are you embarrassed to look like a woman? Okay, I'll go down and wait for you first. ”
After a while, the dragon kite changed his clothes and got out of the car.
Long Hao asked the little eunuch to take two horses down: "Little horse, you drive the carriage back to the 'Yunlong Inn' in the city first to wait for us, and I will go there to find you after Brother Zheng and I finish hunting." ”
"Second Highness, you can't be too late today, but you have to come back quickly, don't delay the time to return to the palace."
"Got it, after you put the carriage at the inn, go to the city to eat something, have a good time, give, and continue." Long Hao took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Xiao Mazi.
"Your Highness Second Xie."
"Brother Zheng, get on the horse."
The two mounted their horses and galloped deep into the forest.
"Brother Zheng, look, there's a little rabbit there, don't fight with me, I'll shoot it." Long Hao picked up an arrow and put it on his bow, opened his bow and prepared to shoot at the poor little rabbit.
At this moment, a female rabbit came to the little rabbit, and the little rabbit immediately faced the female rabbit and arched the female rabbit's body affectionately with her head.
"Don't shoot it." Long Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of Long Hao.
"Why?"
"Don't separate the mother and son."
The mother rabbit and the little rabbit heard their voices, looked up and saw them, and in horror spread their hooves and fled as fast as they could into the distance.
They rode for a while.
"Brother Zheng, you see there's a deer there, don't stop me this time." Long Hao was about to shoot an arrow at the fawn with a bow again.
A doe appeared behind the fawn, and the fawn ran happily towards it. The doe smiled and watched the fawn run towards it, and suddenly it saw Long Hao's arrow in front of it that was about to shoot at them, screamed in horror, and ran away with the fawn into the distance.
"Brother Zheng, do you see whether my arrows are fast or their hooves are fast." Long Hao was about to stretch his bow and shoot at them, but he didn't expect the dragon kite to block in front of him again: "Don't shoot them." ”
"Brother Zheng, we are here to hunt, why do you repeatedly stop me from shooting those prey? Why are you doing that? ”
"Don't ask why, you can't shoot them anyway."
"This can't be shot, that can't be shot, I don't think we want to hit any prey today, forget it, you say don't shoot, don't shoot, we should come here to play today, in fact, it's good to enjoy the surrounding scenery leisurely while riding a horse in this big forest, and then listen to the beautiful sound of the birds'chirping', it's really a good enjoyment." Brother Zheng, don't you say? Brother Zheng, why are you pale? What's wrong with it? I really shouldn't have asked you to accompany me to hunt today, let's go back quickly, and let the Imperial Doctor come and see you." ”
"I'm fine, I'm fine." The dragon kite shook his head.
"Are you really okay? Anyway, we won't be able to shoot the prey today, so let's go back now. ”
"It's hard for you to go out of the palace to hunt today, if you go back now, wouldn't it be a ruin for you, let's go, let's go forward."
They rode on horseback and continued towards the great forest. After walking for a while, the dragon kite suddenly reined in his horse and listened attentively.
"Why didn't Brother Zheng leave? You also want to be quiet and listen to the beautiful birdsong. Long Hao asked with a smile.
"Brother Hao, aren't your martial arts very good, and your archery is also very accurate?"
"Yes, Brother Zheng, it's not that I'm boasting, I'm really good at training, usually several masters of the inner world fight with me and I are beaten to the ground, and archery is also a hundred shots every time."
"That's good, let me see what you're capable of this time."
"My prey is always stopped by you from shooting, how can I show you my skills? Alas, Brother Zheng, I don't mean to complain about you. Long Hao was afraid that Long Zheng would think that he was blaming him, so he hurriedly added.
"Shooting rabbits and fawns is not a skill, the real skill is: Brother Hao, there are assassins behind us."
"What? Brother Zheng, you're not joking and deliberately teasing me, are you? Long Hao wanted to go back and see if there was really an assassin.
"Don't look back, lower your head, don't lift up, just run forward."
Suddenly, there were a few whizzing sounds, and several arrows whirred behind them, nearly hitting their galloping horses.
The dragon kite put three arrows on the bow at a gallop, and as soon as he turned his head, he shot at the assassins who were chasing closer and closer behind him. There were a few screams.
"Brother Zheng is so powerful, I want to shoot too." Long Hao turned around and shot an arrow, but unfortunately, he didn't hear the terrible sound, but an arrow hit his head with a roar. "Oops." Long Hao screamed in fright, shrank his head, and hurriedly turned his head away.
"Don't look back, just run forward." The dragon kite yelled at him.
Whoosh, the dragon kite turned around and shot behind him. A few screams rang out again.
Arrows were constantly being fired at them behind them.
"Oops." Long Hao's horse was shot by an arrow, the horse fell to the ground, and Long Hao on the horse was also overturned and fell to the ground.
"Brother Hao." Long Zheng hurriedly jumped off the horse, stepped forward to help Long Hao pull him and galloped forward with all his might.
Ran to the foot of a big tree, and as soon as he jumped up, Long Zheng flew up the tree with Long Hao: "Brother Hao, you hide behind me, don't move." ”
The Assassins flew towards their tree with great skill.
Whoosh, whoosh, swish, the dragon kite took three arrows and shot at them.
Several more screams from the Assassins were shot.
There were quite a few assassins, and another Assassin lunged at them.
The dragon kite touched the arrow belt behind him, and alas, the arrow in the belt had been shot by him.
"Brother Zheng, I have it here, I only shot one." Long Hao hurriedly took off the arrow belt.
The dragon kite took the arrow belt and carried it behind his back, and then took three more arrows and shot at the assassin who pounced on them.
The arrows were gone, and there were only a few Assassins left.
