Chapter 13: Arrows
"Qi Ning listened to the slander and killed Lu Beilin, the Beidi people will only celebrate happily, and when the troops are raised, who else can go to the expedition except me?" Qi Long frowned.
Xiao Dong, Xi, and Nan were all silent.
Xiao Dong thought: The prince has gone on two expeditions, once to fight Beidi and Lu Qian, a small general of Lu Qian. Once he fought Hu Nan, Hu Nan was defeated and sent a letter of peace, and since then the south has been stable for 5 years.
If it weren't for the death of the first emperor when he fought Hu Nan, Qi Ning would not have succeeded to the throne.
When the prince returned to Beijing with his troops, it was already half a year later, Qi Ning took out the posthumous notice and wrote the biography of the first emperor Qi Ning, the second prince.
Everyone didn't believe it, but the prince had no intention of competing for the throne.
Since then, Qi Long has wholeheartedly assisted the emperor, but Qi Ning is a traitorous villain, always suspicious of the prince.
is not only afraid of the military power in the hands of the prince, but also has to rely on the power of the prince.
Xiao Dong thought about it and couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Nan thought that after two expeditions, the prince began to lead the troops at the age of 12, and was with the officers and soldiers in the barracks all day long, how could he have time to contact girls, so he delayed again and again, delaying the marriage of the princess.
Now that he is 22 years old, he must take care of the prince and welcome the princess into the mansion as soon as possible.

Xia Chan and Qiu Tong walked along the path of the corner gate, which had not been walked for many years, and the weeds were knee-high.
But at the end of the path, it was actually the intersection to the yard of the young lady.
The sudden appearance of two people startled Haruka in the yard, and they ran over to look east and west: "Where did you come from?" ”
Qiu Tong excitedly told her: "The corner gate that Xiao guarded said really leads to our house, and we came from the corner gate." ”
Xia Chan entered the house and told Lu Huan'er, Lu Huan'er thought: This is convenient.
He instructed Chunxiang to tell Steward Meng to find a few servants to clear the path.
In this way, every day from Jiaomen to King Qi's Mansion, Xiao Dong taught them in the martial arts training field without going out to do errands.
Qiu Tong and Xiao Nan completely forgot their original intentions, tinkering in the kitchen all day long, and changing their tricks to make snacks for everyone every day.
Dongmei's progress is rapid, and a set of boxing techniques has been used freely, and Xiao Dong has begun to teach her to use daggers.
Haruka also works hard, but her qualifications are lacking, and although she learns ordinary, she is no longer a problem compared to ordinary girls.
Xia Chan is the most improved, Xiao Dong is also the hardest, Xiao Nan jokingly asked Xia Chan to call him master, he does have the posture of a master.
Now that a set of boxing techniques is fought by two people, Xia Chan can already take three or four moves.
Xiao Dong looked at Xia Chan's flexibility and personality, and prepared to teach her the next step in the future.
Hidden arrows are hidden weapons, which are ordinary but extremely lethal.
It is especially suitable for a girl like Xia Chan who seems to be soft and weak and has no offensive power.
Ten days passed, and it was a bit drizzling on this day, so Qiu Tong called everyone to go to the wing room next to the practice field to take shelter from the rain, and eat snacks by the way.
Lu Huan'er was in a bad mood, and the recent bow and arrow always deviated from the shooting path for some reason, and she continued to practice at the shooting range.
All the arrows she took over had been used up, and Lu Huan'er returned to her hand to model the arrows, but she saw a figure standing behind her.
Lu Huan'er was startled, and didn't notice Qi Long beside her at all.
In the past few days of coming to King Qi's mansion, the first time she met Qi Long, Lu Huan'er suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart.
Qi Long returned to the study early today, and suddenly found that there was nothing to deal with, so he came up with the idea of coming to the practice field to have a look.
Lu Huan'er was the only one in the foresight, standing a little thin in the rain, but he was very persistent, and the arrow missed the target several times, but he still picked it up, ran back and continued to shoot.
Qi Long looked at the back for a while, first, the strength was not enough, the bow was not full, and the second was that the angle of the bow was not straight, so he deviated from the path.
Lu Huan'er drew her bow again, and Qi Long walked up to her:
"Hand up." Gently support the handle of the bow with your hand: "Draw the bow"
Lu Huan'er tried hard, but her strength was still not enough, Qi Long held her hand to pull the bow and pushed it back, and Lu Huan'er immediately felt that the bow was full.
Qi Long said softly: "Stand firm, put ......"
The two of them let go together, and the arrow smashed straight into the target as if by magic.
Hearted Heart!!
"Oh yes, that's great!!"
Lu Huan'er clenched her fists tightly and couldn't suppress her surprise: "Lord Wang, this is the best time!" ”
Qi Long smiled: "The strength is not enough, usually do more exercises, the bow is full, and the natural strength is great." ”
Lu Huan'er nodded in admiration.
Qi Long said: "Stand firm, your heart should be calm, the goal is not in the bull's-eye, but in the feeling." ”
"Lord, I'll try again." Lu Huan'er was full of interest.
Qi Long nodded, standing behind Lu Huan'er, adjusting her posture and angle at any time.
With professional guidance, of course, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Lu Huan'er experienced the fun of archery again today. pestered Qi Long for a long time, and Qi Long patiently guided her.
As everyone knows, the scenes of the two in the practice field have already made the onlookers and guards smile happily.
It wasn't until the heavy raindrops fell that Lu Huan'er realized that Qi Long's court clothes were wet, and she was overexcited, and she didn't feel that her dress was wet, and she was clinging to her body, and Lu Huan'er realized that she was a little embarrassed.
Xia Chan saw them stop from a distance, so she ran over to deliver the umbrella and put a cloak on Lu Huan'er.
Xiao Nan also walked over, opened the umbrella, and propped it on top of Qi Long's head.
"Lord, it's raining heavily, come back quickly, I'm too greedy to let the prince get drenched in the rain." Lu Huan'er said.
"Miss Lu, go back too, be careful of catching a cold, don't be in a hurry to shoot arrows, take your time, I'll come to you if I have nothing to do." Qi Long said.
Lu Huan'er nodded and agreed: "Lord Wang, what you say counts!" ”
After speaking, he pulled Xia Chan and ran to the corner gate, and also signaled everyone to go home.
Qi Long agreed with a smile, watched Lu Huan'er run away, and returned to the bedroom with Xiao Nan.
Stepping down from the court clothes, Xiao Nan took a handkerchief and wiped Qi Long's hair: "Master, this Lu girl really likes it the more I look at it." ”
"Like?"
Qi Long was very dissatisfied with the word coming out of Xiao Nan's mouth: "Do you like it?" ”
"Where's me? Lord, it's you. Don't you like it? ”
Xiao Nan said in his mouth, his eyes glancing at Qi Long.
Qi Long summed up in his heart, like it? Does he like Miss Lu? I don't think so, I haven't known each other for a long time, and I haven't seen it a few times, so why do you like it?
"How do you know I like it?" Qi Long asked casually.
"Master, what do you think, you gave the most precious red coral bracelet to Miss Lu, I saw that Miss Lu liked it very much, and I kept wearing it"
After speaking, he turned to Qi Long and said seriously:
"This Lu girl is not like an ordinary girl, she doesn't do anything, she is brave, and she is good for the maids, which shows that she is kind in her heart, and she is the most suitable for our Qi Wangfu, and she is beautiful, and the most important thing is to stand beside the master, which is particularly eye-catching and a good match."
"Master, you are close to her, this is the most important thing, you said it yourself, are there any other girls who you treat like this?" Xiao Nan asked bluntly.
Qi Long thought about it, it was true, although the number of meetings was small, but every time they met, they were very happy, as if they had never had any thoughts about any girl.
"Master, have you forgotten? The maid of the Ministry of Rites once courted you at a banquet, how did you do it? Xiao Nan asked.
"How? Not impressed! Qi Long was not impressed at all, and asked randomly.
"Master, you poured the wine!! Poured! In front of the Manchu civil and military! Xiao Nan recalled sadly!
