The second prince wanted to compete with Yan Xiuyu and Wei Qiao to see who could hunt the black bear first. In his opinion, Yan Xiuyu is just a reckless man, he doesn't know anything except fighting, as long as he gives people a provocation, he will agree to anything.

Yan Xiuyu glanced lightly at Wei Qiao, who was behind the prince, and sneered contemptuously: "The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely!" ”

The second prince's face turned crimson. On the surface, Yan Xiuyu said that Wei Qiao had been miserable under him, but the second prince thought that Yan Xiuyu was sarcastically saying that he had lost in the battle for the throne.

Yan Xiuyu's words can be regarded as offending the second prince.

Wei Qiao, who was following behind the second prince, had a hideous look on his face. Yan Xiuyu's last move in Phoenix Terrace made him lose face, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a blood revenge that had not been avenged, he would definitely fight to the death with Yan Xiuyu on the spot.

For a while, the atmosphere between the second prince and his guards and Yan Xiuyu became extremely solemn, and among the people who followed the second prince, there were even a few people who pulled the sword body out of the scabbard slightly, and just waited for the second prince to give an order, and then stepped forward to fight fiercely with Yan Xiuyu.

"Brother Yu, come here." Le Xuan couldn't stand it, so he beckoned to Yan Xiuyu and asked him to come to him.

Yan Xiuyu smiled and put aside the group of people from the second prince, rode his horse to Le Xuan, and asked, "What is Brother Xuan looking for me?" ”

"Are you really going to participate in this year's martial arts?" Le Xuan asked.

In terms of Yan Xiuyu's current identity, participating in martial arts is simply a matter of adding to the snake. If he wins, Yan Xiuyu will inevitably have to bear the infamy of competing with ordinary people, and if he loses, it will make people question his identity as the king of Qiu.

Such a thankless move really made Le Xuan wonder if Yan Xiuyu had taken his brains out.

Yan Xiuyu showed a look of anticipation, and said, "Brother Xuan, if I win the top three in martial arts, when the emperor gives a banquet in the imperial garden, maybe he can meet Sister Qingge." I...... I haven't seen her in a long time. As he spoke, Yan Xiuyu's expression took on a hint of malaise.

Looking at Yan Xiuyu's childish demeanor, Le Xuan remembered for a moment that Yan Xiuyu was only a seventeen-year-old half-grown child. Many of the children of the aristocracy in Jingzhong are still idle, accomplishing nothing, messing with cats and dogs all day long, but Yan Xiuyu has already carried the burden of King Qiu and has to bear a lot of heavy things.

Obviously, a few years ago, Yan Xiuyu was still the little ghost who followed his ass and got into trouble all day long, and in the blink of an eye, whether he wanted to or not, he had to integrate into this cruel world.

Thinking of this, Le Xuan's originally slightly tense expression slowly relaxed, and he said softly: "I'm not blaming you, you want to participate in martial arts, but it's not that bad." ”

Yan Xiuyu's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Does Brother Xuan think that I am very bad at participating in martial arts?" ”

Le Xuan felt that he could throw away and feed the dog for a moment of soft-heartedness just now, Yan Xiuyu behaved stupidly like this, saying that he was a disciple of the Le family, it was really embarrassing. Le Xuan said with a tiger face: "How good do you think it is for you to participate in martial arts?" ”

Yan Xiuyu had to argue again, and a large group of people gathered not far from them suddenly looked in the direction of the road, and a commotion broke out in the crowd.

Yan Xiuyu and Le Xuan also looked at it, it must not be a trivial matter to make everyone so noisy.

I saw that on the main road of the wide post road, far away, bursts of yellow dust were raised, and it should be a team with less than a number of people. Those teams were far away and couldn't be seen clearly for the time being, but the handsome flags held high by them were very conspicuous.

It was a plain blue handsome flag, and a very large word "water" was written on it.

Yan Xiuyu and Le Xuan were both surprised.

The water word flag, on behalf of, should be the water family of the Zhongwang Mansion. Everyone has heard about the Shui family.

After the secret plot of the Zhongwang Mansion was exposed, Princess Zhong committed suicide in fear of crime, and the whereabouts of the Zhongwang were unknown. Although the situation in the capital has not been completely stabilized, and the emperor has no chance to control Shui Mu at all, everyone knows that the Zhongwang Mansion is definitely going to fall.

Everyone thought that Shui Mu would be silently forgotten in the southwest, and the Zhongwang Mansion would become a story of the past, but they didn't expect to see the return of the Shui family at this time.

For a while, everyone was looking forward to seeing if it was the Shui Mu couple who came back today, or the remnant of the waste water plant with a broken leg.

As the rolling dust got closer and closer, everyone could see that the two leading horses were sitting on a man and a woman respectively. The man's eyebrows are handsome with a hint of coldness, and although the woman's face is covered with a gauze hat, she can't see her face clearly, but her posture can be seen, and her vigor is not under ordinary men.

The second prince had already led a group of subordinates to the side of the road on horseback, with the joy of finally waiting for it on his face, and looked at the two people who were at the beginning, and the two were the Shui Mu couple.

The marriage of Shui Mu and Ling Xiao, the two children, was rumored to be a good story in Beijing, and everyone said that they were a match made in heaven. Many people in Beijing are quite familiar with the faces and figures of Shui Mu and Ling Xiao, and the second prince is not the only one who recognizes Shui Mu and his wife.

Thinking about why they were pulled out to hunt today, and they chose this place again, I am afraid that it is not a coincidence, but the result of the deliberate action of the second prince, and many people are in an uproar.

The news of Shui Mu's return to Beijing must have been submitted to the emperor and approved, otherwise they would not even be able to enter the city gate.

Such a big news, as aristocrats in Beijing, none of them even knew, it can be seen how tightly the news is covered, but the second prince has touched the news, he came today, hunting is secondary, I am afraid that the real purpose is to see Shui Mu. It's a pity that the prince was stirred up, and the second prince could only take them with these burdens, no wonder many people feel that the second prince is weird and doesn't give them a good face.

The people sitting on horseback on the side of the road attracted Shui Mu's attention, he recognized the second prince, waved his hand, and gradually slowed down the horse, and the team behind him also slowed down and slowed down.

Shui Mu led a cavalry team of about forty people, except for him and Ling Xiao's horses, which were Great Zhou military horses, most of those cavalry were short-legged horses from the southwest land.

Finally, Shui Mu's horses stood still, and he, who had always been silent, quietly looked at the second prince on the side of the road without saying a word.

"Bold, why don't you salute when you see the second prince!" One of the prince's attendants scolded sharply.

Shui Mu hadn't been back to the capital for too long, and he didn't know what the capital was like.

The treason committed by the second prince and the people of the Jingwang Mansion was a hundred times more serious than the small calculation of the Zhongwang Mansion, and he was not sure what the identity of the second prince was in the capital now. Moreover, he came back with other plans, and he must not provoke a fishy body again and mix with the second prince.

"Shui Mu see the second prince, the second prince Wan'an." Shui Mu made a simple salute on his horse with his fists clenched, and quietly swept his gaze over the noble children not far away.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao, who was wearing a gauze hat beside him, turned his horse's head, raised his horsewhip, pointed ahead, and said, "Brother Shui Mu, look, is that the little prince of Yan and the son of Le." ”

Yan Xiuyu and Le Xuan didn't come forward, they were mixed in a bunch of noble children, and they were still recognized by Ling Xiao at a glance.

Now that they had been recognized, Le Xuan and Yan Xiuyu stepped forward generously and greeted Shui Mu and his wife.

With Yan Xiuyu and Le Xuan taking the lead, the children of the nobles who were hesitating in the back rushed forward and greeted Shui Mu and Ling Xiao, but Yan Xiuyu and Le Xuan were squeezed away, and even the second prince, who had a lot to say to Shui Mu and his wife, suddenly came to the outer circle.

Ling Xiao wanted to ask Yan Xiuyu how Yan Qingge was doing recently, but unfortunately he was not idle at all.

With this incident, today's hunt is no longer possible.

The second prince stared at the group of people who spoke enthusiastically to Shui Mu and his wife, and a trace of evil flashed in his eyes.

The prince had a good plan, so it was no wonder that he had rewarded so much gold and asked him to bring these people to participate in the hunt. Half of these children are people who are extremely close to the prince's forces, and the other half have a lot of friendship with Lingzhu Mansion and Zhongwang Mansion, with these people, he doesn't want to say a word to Shui Muduo.

He's not that stupid, though. Didn't the prince do this, didn't he obviously attach great importance to the Shui Mu couple? The more this is the case, the more he wants to win over the two of them.

Holding a white silk handkerchief, the second prince gently wiped his palms, raised his chin, and said, "After a while, you will follow the prince of Zhongwang into the city, and the greeting post must be delivered." ”

There is no need for him to name names, there are people who bow down and say yes.

This fresh and lively incident that happened outside the city was soon known to everyone in the capital, and even the deep palace like the water surface of the ancient well was blown a ripple by this news.

Yan Qingge immediately knew the news, she was killing time embroidering a handkerchief, only after listening to Xia Fan's words, she threw the embroidery bandage, stood up, and said, "Is Ling Xiao okay?" Does Shui Ying know about this? ”

"Mrs. Shizi looks fine! However, the former Zhongwang Mansion was rewarded by the crown prince to a Northern barbarian nobleman named Shanqi, and they now temporarily bought a remote mansion in the city to settle down. The old slave on the side of the water side concubine called someone to say it, and the water side concubine must be very happy when she knows the news. Xia Fan said.

Yan Qingge couldn't help herself with excitement, walking around quickly in this small room, crossing steps, she unconsciously tore the handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Hey, I didn't know the news." How comfortable is it to live in a remote house that I bought temporarily. Aunt Xiafen, you say, can I ask someone to send a message out and let Ling Xiao go to Yan's house first. There's no one left or right in my house, and it's empty......"

Listening to Yan Qingge muttering there, Xia Fan couldn't help laughing for a while, it turned out that Miss Yan also had unstable times.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Shui family fell and returned to the capital, is it true that no one has even provided a better place to live? They did this to avoid suspicion, and they were also showing their intentions to the court of the Great Zhou.

Fortunately, Yan Qingge quickly figured out this truth, she stopped, sighed, and said, "Hey, it's not proper, it's not proper...... If only I had a chance to meet her. ”

Xia Fan laughed: "Miss Yan, I have a way to give you the opportunity to meet Mrs. Shizi recently." ”
