In the nineteenth year of Dewu in the north, the monarch of the northern country was mediocre and incompetent, the political chaos and taxation were serious, the grass was raised everywhere, and the people of the north were miserable.

Chengwu was unscrupulous and did not think about the government, and above the government and the opposition, Prime Minister Sima Nan confused the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the heart of wanting to establish a new dynasty was well known, and he wantonly suppressed the imperial lineage into the surname, the family line Su surnamed Han, and tried to monopolize the power.

In troubled times, the neighboring country of Chu was eyeing each other, and the northern country was in a state of internal and external troubles.

In a valley on the border of the northern country, Sujia Village has almost become the only pure land in the northern country.

……

"Three steps, two steps, one step, hit!"

Among the quiet groves in the mountains behind Sujia Village, the dense bushes covered the scorching sun, leaving only the breeze to slide through every leaf between the trees like a song, and the small leaves with a refreshing fragrance swirled in the air, slowly falling on the shoulders of the little girl sitting on the branches in the air.

The girl was only six years old, with two bulging buns, her big eyes blinking at the group not far ahead, her cunning eyes were dripping, and her mouth was full of words.

As the last word of her words fell, the first two people in front of her, the two who walked in front of them stepped into the rope trap she made without a single step, and as the rope shrank back violently, the two men with their backs were hung upside down, all the way to the air, and they couldn't get up or down.

The girl looked at it, her smug look was about to spread to her bare little feet, her feet hung in the air and dangled twice, and her lips, which were more colorful than wildflowers, also pursed and snickered, "Hmph, let you taste my Axi's 'trapeze' first, and then let you see my new trick, 'Spitfire Meteor'!" Let's see if you dare to break in. ”

Ah Xi said, her eyes were bent into crescents, and her little hands groped to the side, pulling a long rope at her side.

Attached to the other end of the rope was a row of wooden turrets she had made yesterday.

There were a lot of small pebbles resting on the small turret, and Ah Xi pulled the long rope at this end, and the long arm of the turret lost its strength, so it flicked forward, and the small pebbles on the long arm should fly towards the front with a clang, and smashed on the head of the pedestrian at all.

"Ouch", "ouch", as the pebbles flew over one after another, the people who unfortunately fell into the lottery all picked up their heads one by one.

One of the several people with a slightly longer martial arts skill immediately pulled out the long sword in his hand, walked in front of the little boy among them in a few steps, blocked the flying stones for him, and then whispered: "Little master, there are many mechanisms in this forest, do you still want to move forward?" ”

The boy he was protecting was only eight or nine years old, wearing a splendid dark satin robe, obviously a few points shorter than the guards around him, but his straight back and slightly raised jaw made him not lose his momentum among several adults.

He didn't answer, but his dark eyes looked around the woods, and then pointed in the direction ahead, "The stone is not big, the strength is not heavy, the range is no more than five zhang, in this direction." ”

"Yes." The guard answered, and rolled in the direction the boy was pointing with his long sword, and with one sword slashed through the branches of the trees that stood in front of him, revealing several strange wooden objects.

There were stones falling from the pouch on it, and they landed on the long piece of wood, and when they were pressed by the stone in the opposite direction, the stones on the long piece would immediately be bounced out, and all these stones that were thrown at them were shot out like this.

The guards did not hesitate, and immediately waved their swords down, cutting a row of machines in half, and the stone rain finally stopped.

It's just that this breath has just relaxed, but a voice on the side has sounded again, with a thick anger, shouting like a little lion has just opened its mouth: "You! You've broken my 'Spitfire Meteor'! ”

The boy not far away listened to the sound, his gaze shifting from the strange pile of machines to the source of the sound. I saw that behind the bushes, a little girl sat firmly on the half-height tree branches, hooked the tree branches with her bare feet, and supported her hands on her waist angrily.

Slender man, but covered with a gorgeous red gauze skirt, hair bun messy, a face that has not grown, facial features can be regarded as a little exquisite, but it is a pity that the life is covered by the mud on the face of the brilliance, although a pair of clear eyes blinked, but the anger in it is also revealed.

He subconsciously frowned slightly, if he didn't have to tell the truth, the girl in front of him was dirty and unruly, I was afraid that he had seen the most unlike girl.

He took a step forward slightly, his body still standing straight, "You hurt my guards first, so you can only repay the two phases." ”

"You...... Do you know how much time it took me to do 'Spitfire Meteor'? It's just a few stones, and I can't pay it back. Ah Xi listened to his words, her lips pursed, she wrinkled her nose, looked at the boy not far away, it didn't seem to be very old, but it seemed to be different from other boys in Sujia Village, a very delicate face, a pair of eyes were so deep that they didn't look like a child at all.

Ah Xi felt that he was smart enough, but he didn't know if it was far away or what, but he couldn't see his joy and anger in his eyes, his voice was even more light and light, and he spoke like an adult.

She knew that she couldn't compare the person in front of her with the little bastards in Sujia Village who climbed trees and picked up bird eggs every day, but who was she, she was not afraid of the fat uncle in the east of the village, and she was afraid of the little kid in front of her.

She thought about it, hugged the trunk of the tree and quickly slipped down, clapped her hands, still holding her head high, and said: "You are not from our village, of course I want to drive you away, let me tell you, this forest is full of mechanisms set up by me, you can hide one, can you hide all of them?" ”

Ah Xi said as he said as his hands learned from Aunt Zhang in the west of the village to quarrel, and crossed his chest, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, even on this ground I have dug a lot of traps, if you dare to take a step forward, you will definitely be able to come and get out." ”

Ah Xi's little head was almost raised to the sky, obviously it was a crisp and milky voice, but it still had a full pretentious momentum.

The boy looked at her, and really didn't expect that the thing on the side was actually made by a stinky girl of hers?

It's just that he naturally won't be frightened by her momentum, and still walked a few steps forward, just standing on the ground in front of Ah Xi smoothly. There was no trace of renovation on the grass and trees on the ground, only two new footprints, and naturally there would be no traps as she said.

He looked at the girl in front of him intently, his expression did not change, but his tone was very polite, "We have no intention of bothering us, but we ask to see Granny Su." ”

"Hmph." Ah Xi wrinkled her nose, looked at the culprit who damaged her "Flying Fire Meteor" in front of her, and looked angry, "Mother-in-law said, she won't see you, let you leave Sujia Village quickly." ”

"But ......" the boy's brows furrowed, and his voice sank a little, "Granny Su once made a promise with my family, and now my family only wants to borrow my mother-in-law's book of soldiers, why do you want to refuse me from the door." ”

The Book of Soldiers? Ah Xi listened, and couldn't help but hiss, isn't this the book she always steals from her mother-in-law? The things in that book are very interesting, and the "Spitfire Meteor" and "Trapeze" are all things she learned from the book.

But my mother-in-law is so powerful, I didn't see them, but I knew they were here to ask for something.

Ah Xi coughed lightly twice, raised her voice again, and said: "Mother-in-law said again, she does owe your family a promise, but other things are fine, only the one you want, absolutely not, so I think you might as well leave quickly." ”

"Can you ......?" the boy listened, and before he could say more, a voice outside the forest rang out, and it pierced through the forest and landed in the ears of several of them.

"What about the stinky girl in Granny Su's house, it's her turn to be the bride today, why has everyone run away?"

"Hiss......" Ah Xi gasped, and nodded helplessly at the person in front of him, "Look, it's all you, Brother Cheng Yu finally agreed to be the groom's official today, but he almost delayed my business." ”

Ah Xi said, quickly tore off the red yarn hanging there from the tree on the side, and then skimmed a few people on the side, "I won't tell you, in short, even if you see your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law will not agree to your request, I advise you not to be obsessed." ”

The words fell, and Ah Xi didn't plan to say anything to them here, so she ran out of the forest with her things in her arms.

It didn't take long for her crisp voice to sound again from the other side of the forest, "Brother Erniu!" I can hear you call me a stinky girl behind your back! ”

The boy listened to the voice, his eyebrows moved slightly, but the pace under his feet stopped. The guards on the side also lowered their bodies a little, "Master, do we still want to continue going?" ”

"Nope." The boy shook his head, "Since she said so, if she wants to come to this book of soldiers, we can't get here on this trip, let's go back." ”

The boy said, his expression faded a little, but his eyes returned to the tree where the girl had just sat on, only to see that under the tree, a small jade pendant had fallen, as if she had just been scraped off when she jumped off the tree.

He walked under the tree, picked up the jade pendant, gently wiped off a bit of dust from it, and glanced in the direction where the girl ran out, and his beautiful eyes moved a little.

"Cheng Yu, is it Cheng's surname?" He muttered, his gaze quickly eased a little, "Granny Su's girl? ”

In such a hurry, he didn't even have time to ask for a name.
