5, Chu Er is not afraid
Thousands of miles away, Xiao Zhen was riding on a horse and was aiming at a sparrow with a bow. Shooting a small bird like a sparrow is far more testing than shooting jackals, tigers and leopards.
Like a sculpture, he kept his aim for a while, until the sparrow had just spread its wings, and the bowstring suddenly loosened, and the arrow shot through the sparrow's eyes.
The feeling of being in control of everything in your own hands is good!
If he went back in time, he must have learned archery seriously from an early age, and that night, he could shoot that arrow himself towards the location where the bronze mirror was hidden.
I don't know about her...... Did you survive...... If you survive, what will you look like? Those eyes that hide the starry sky, will they change after six years?
……
"Ahh At the spring banquet outside the capital of Chu, Mo Yu suddenly sneezed a few times. She rubbed her nose and wondered if she had been caught stealing a rabbit from the garden yesterday. It doesn't matter, if you don't admit it, it's good to rely on Shanjun. It is only natural that tigers eat rabbits.
Fortunately, Su Tian's seat was spacious and gorgeous, and no one noticed that the girl standing behind him had already begun to wander too much.
On the other side of the long table, the doctor Lou Zhaozheng said with saliva flying, and a goatee trembled: "...... The Marquis of Qin Wuyang has excellent arm strength and excellent archery skills, and my Chu State is good at fighting in plain formations, and it is difficult to compete with him without a general with excellent archery skills......"
Lou Zhao had a pair of small eyes with an inverted triangle, he was a civil servant, and he had always opposed the use of troops by the Chu State against foreign countries.
"May I ask my lord, what kind of archery skills can be called outstanding?" The girl's voice interrupted Lou Zhao's tirade. The sound was rustling and slippery, like a freshly cooked soft glutinous bean paste. The ministers were all looking in the direction from which the voice came. Even the King of Chu on the high platform squinted at his old eyes.
Behind Su Lean, the girl was wearing a turquoise arrow-sleeved beard suit, and on her left arm was holding a small two-foot-long bow and crossbow, which was green and lovely.
When Mo Yu saw others looking at her, she looked back one by one generously, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes were round and bright. At such a semi-formal palace feast, when the wine is half drunk and the food is half full, it will enter the link of the Magi debate. As long as you are qualified to appear at the banquet, you can talk loudly, regardless of your status, and ask questions of others at will. Although Mo Yu is a woman, she is the person brought by Su Tian, and no one scolds the woman for not speaking.
"The way of archery, naturally, is first and foremost," Lou Zhao saw that she was a girl, and she was quite unimpressed, but because of Su Tian's face, she reluctantly answered a few words with her, "For example, fifty steps away, you can shoot a rope with the thickness of your little finger with an arrow." "This standard is actually very low.
Mo Yu bypassed Su Tian's seat and walked to the middle of the banquet venue. She was a few months away from fifteen, and her hair was loosely tied at the back of her neck. The narrow cuffed Hu Fu was originally very rude at such a banquet, but the verdant color, lined with her slender figure with a narrow waist and shaved shoulders, showed a bit of a different coolness.
She plucked twice on the bowstring, and said to Lou Zhao with a smile: "I also happened to learn archery for a few days, and I shot a rope fifty steps away, I have never tried it, but I want to try it today." Yes or not? ”
Lou Zhao didn't want to worry about a girl, so he asked someone to bring a knife coin and hang it above a copper kettle with a rope.
Mo Yu withdrew fifty paces away and held the small bow in front of him. Her archery posture was taught by Su Tian personally, her spine was straight, her legs were slightly wrong, and her hand pulling the string was raised near her eyebrow bone, which was a bit of a dusty taste. As soon as the bowstring was loosened, the knife coin fell into the copper kettle below with a "bang", and a few soft sighs followed by the banquet.
This arrow is not very clever, but it is rare for a woman to learn archery, and her set of actions is very beautiful, which caused the audience to admire.
"Lord Lou, I can also shoot a rope from fifty steps away, am I also a person with excellent archery skills?" Mo Yu asked with a smile on his head.
Lou Zhao stroked his beard and shook his head, a little disdainful: "Your lord must usually pamper you and let you learn archery." But your set of tricks is just a game, really on the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, how can anyone stand up straight and wait for you to shoot. A person who is truly excellent in archery must not only be accurate, but also ruthless and fast......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a soft "whoosh" in his ears, and a cool breeze slid against his cheeks, and when he looked sideways, he found that the strap hanging from his crown and hat was nailed to the clay pot by a delicate and small arrow. The arrow had just pierced the clay pot, and the tip of the arrow had already poked out from the other side, and the tail of the arrow was still there, and the wine in the clay pot was gurgling out.
This arrow can really be regarded as accurate, ruthless, and fast. If the arrow is a little more off, this will be shot through Lou Zhao's head.
Mo Yu looked around, and said in a clear voice: "Lord Lou is right, my hand is just a little girl's game." I've never tried it before, but when I tried it today, I realized that I could shoot a rope from fifty steps away. Chu Guoerlang, there must be many people whose archery skills are better than mine, so why should you be afraid of a rumored figure? ”
There was silence all around, and there were insinuations in these words, involving national affairs, and no one dared to express their position easily. Everyone stared at Mo Yu, secretly wondering if she would anger King Chu. Only Su Tian twisted his wine glass and drank it all with a calm expression.
The king of Chu stood up with the wine bottle and stared at the ink rumor for a long time before he raised the wine bottle high and said, "Great goodness!" ”
Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and his palms were covered with cold sweat. The laughter resumed at the banquet, and those who were accustomed to the rudder began to praise the wisdom of the king of Chu and the martial arts of the Chu army, and belittled the Qin army to worthless.
On the way back to Wenze Garden, Su Tian didn't speak. Mo Yu sat in the corner of the carriage, carefully peeking at his face.
Su Tian rarely gets angry, or rather, he doesn't show his anger on his face. But today, there are three big words clearly written on his face: "unhappy". Mo Yu thought about it with her toes, all because she made her own decisions at the spring banquet and embarrassed Lou Zhao.
Lou Zhao has always been at odds with Su Tian, but Su Tian has never regarded him as a real opponent. Mo Yu was a little puzzled, if it was just because he offended Lou Zhao, the lord wouldn't have lost his temper so much.
However, even if he is angry, the lord is much more calm and elegant than ordinary people, like a cold moon and clear light...... Mo Yu quickly shook his head and stopped his cranky thoughts. Since she was brought back by Su Tian, she has already gotten too much, how can she be greedy to ask for more?
When he got out of the carriage, Mo Yu jumped down first and reached out to help him diligently. Su Tian only gently pushed her hand away, and it was useless to even step on the stool.
Mo Yu followed Su all the way into the study, making tea, grinding ink, and holding the lamp. Xuan Nu looked at the strange faces of the two, and quietly grabbed Mo Yu and asked, "Who is the lord angry with?" ”
"Probably, maybe...... It's me. Mo Yu had a bitter face and briefly talked about the events at today's Spring Banquet.
"You're really capable!" Xuan Nu pointed her finger at her forehead and counted, "To make the lord angry, not only does it take wisdom, but also how much courage it takes!" ”
"Sister, good sister, fairy sister, good sister of the Nine Heavens Fairy, you can help me let the lord dissipate his anger." Mo Yu hugged Xuannu's arm and shook it uncontrollably.
Xuannu looked at the ink rumor, and suddenly smiled mysteriously, but there was a little melancholy in her smile somehow: "I can't help you with this favor, you have to figure it out yourself." Every year, the lord will select smart children to bring back and ask someone to train them, but you are the first and last person to be taught by the lord himself. ”
Mo Yu's eyes widened, his heart fluttered, and he stammered unexpectedly, "That, that might be...... It's because I'm so ...... Particularly stupid. "It's not impossible, the first master who taught her archery is still limping when she walks.
Xuan Nu shook her head: "The lord has taught you everything, but there is only one thing, the other girls have already learned, but the lord has never taught you - the art in the room." Don't you understand? ”
When Mo Yu heard those three words, his face was like a fire burning, and he became hot. Like Xuannu, she helped the lord deal with all the secret affairs, and naturally knew that Su Tian had trained some girls in private, and then gave them to dignitaries and dignitaries in various countries as gifts. With these girls, he could quickly know which prince the King of Qi preferred, and he could also quietly dissuade the King of Wei from postponing his meeting with the State of Zhao.
She remembered that one year, she was climbing a tree in the backyard of Wenze Garden to pick dates to eat, and she happened to see the lord of the Qing Dynasty watching a strange woman dancing in the room. The dance was not at all, it was crooked, and the man was about to go to the ground. But that action made people blush and heartbeat, and they couldn't take their eyes off it, they just wanted to watch it for a moment.
At that time, Mo Yu was not big, and he didn't really understand what it was, but he felt that the dance had a strange charm, and he actually ran to tell Su Tian that she wanted to learn to dance. When Su Tian finally figured out what she meant by "dance", she choked on a mouthful of water in her throat and almost coughed to the point of recall. For the first time, he spoke harshly about Mo Yu and reprimanded her for being self-willing.
Listening to Xuannu's words, Mo Yu was flustered with a little surprise and sweetness, and the taste was the same as stealing candy. didn't allow Mo Yu to carefully taste the excitement and satisfaction of stealing food, someone came to call and asked Mo Yu to go to Su Tian.
was originally the age of innocent thinking, and he was safe for six years. But once he had this thought in his heart, Mo Yu twisted it up, trotted all the way to Su Tian's room, couldn't wait to get in, and hesitated to retreat. The two of them sat very close to each other as usual, breathing and smelling each other, and Mo Yu stroked the thick tail of the mountain king, and their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths.
Su leaned down on the couch, his fingers in Shanjun's fluffy hair. This tiger was originally used to warm his hands, he was weak and sick since he was a child, afraid of cold, but he couldn't stand the charcoal fire, so he could only think of such a way to raise it. He picked the corner of his eye and looked at the ink rumor for a long time before he slowly spoke: "The King of Chu has a will for you." ”
"Huh?" Mo Yu woke up from his beautiful thoughts, and the strength in his hands inadvertently increased, which made Shanjun bare his teeth.
What could the king of Chu want...... To her?
