Chapter 318: Flying Arrows Warning
The matte wooden shaft was nailed into the crossbar of the wheel, and the snow-white arrow feathers trembled lightly, straight like a swaggering flag.
Flicking his right eyebrows, he looked at the rapier that seemed to be integrated with the crosswood, looked at Ami, and jumped down gently.
Squatting at the arrow feather and touching the arrow shaft connected with the nanmu on the car, he pulled it out, and pulled out the arrow feather that was not an inch into the horizontal wood, and as the arrow shaft fell off, a very fine folded paper slipped off the arrow shaft and fell lightly on the car.
"What's going on?" said Ami, jumping out of the canopy and crouching beside her to the right side, staring curiously at the smooth tip of the arrow. "Huh, this arrow is so strange, why don't there be clusters of arrows?"
"This is someone who has come specifically to deliver the news, and it must not be a mortal to be able to shoot such an arrow into Nanmu. As he spoke, he put down the feather arrow in his hand, picked up the pale yellow paper folded into strips on the cart board, raised his eyes and looked around, and slowly unfolded it.
Glancing at the words on the paper, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he turned around and knelt down towards the car curtain, and his voice was neither high nor low. "Your Majesty, someone has sent a message with arrows, saying that the Empress Dowager Liang has set up an ambush in the woodland ahead, and she is afraid that she will encircle and suppress us with those rangers behind. ”
The car was quiet for a while, and Ye Ziyi's voice was slightly hoarse. "What kind of arrow is it? Brother, hand it to me. ”
As he said, he handed the arrow and the paper into it, and after a while, Ye Ziyi's annoyed voice came out again.
"Fortunately, the news came in time, or maybe they would have gotten their way. Hmph! More to bully less, okay, since they are waiting there, we can't go over, there is a fork in the road ahead, annoying brother told Fang Suo to go faster, let's take a detour, don't let them get their wish!"
"Then do as Madame said, go quickly. Gongzi Cheng's hoarse voice sounded immediately, and he got the order and quickly ordered Fang Su to speed up.
The carriage that Gongzicheng and Ye Ziyi were riding ran up, and the carriage of Ah Fu and Yongyi followed closely behind, and the family of four suddenly increased their speed, and the accompanying people also quickly urged the horses, and these twenty or thirty carriages were running wildly on the avenue at the same time, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
As the carriage started, Ye Ziyi got into Gongzi Cheng's arms and fiddled with the long arrow in his hand. "Ah Cheng, you say, since he came, why didn't he show up?
"If he doesn't want to, why should you worry?" Gongzicheng's face sank slightly, obviously unhappy.
"No, I just don't feel comfortable. Ye Ziyi sat up slowly, arched towards Gongzi Cheng's arms, and said in a low voice. "This farewell, I don't know when we can see each other, I don't have a chance to repay him anything, and now he has come all the way to protect each other, I can't help it. ”
"Ziyi. Gongzi Cheng reached out and took the feather arrow from her hand, picked her up and sat on his lap, his long arms around her thin waist, and his dark eyes stared at her eyes. "Don't think about the man next to me anymore. ”
"I see. Ye Ziyi tilted her little head sideways, leaned on his shoulder very naturally, and closed her eyes gently. "Ah Cheng, you repay me, okay?"
"Good. Gongzi Cheng didn't care about her anymore and nodded in response.
Looking at the feather arrows on the board that jumped with the bumps of the car, Ye Ziyi sighed lightly and said in a low voice. "Alas, I don't know what's going on over there, although we have escaped the ambush, but I don't know what tricks the Empress Dowager Liang will play, it's really like a maggot attached to the bone, annoying. ”
"There's going to be a tough battle. Childe circled Ye Ziyi, his chin lightly rested on the top of her hair, and his dark eyes stared straight at the fluttering curtain.
The convoy rumbled past, the dust and smoke were gone, and a group of men and horses galloped to catch up.
The group of people who came rode tall horses, dressed in the clothes of rangers, old and young, stared at the back of the convoy and bit tightly, neither close to the front, nor too far behind, and the dust brought up by the carriage hit them all over, and they were all gray and embarrassed.
In this way, the convoy turned out of the dirt road in the forest, got on the road and walked a cup of tea, the carriage stopped in front of a tea house, and the team of more than 100 people did not come close, but only stood down more than ten zhang away from the tea house, and blocked the road in a row.
Hundreds of people had already gathered in front of the tea house, these sergeants in green clothes were lined up on both sides of the tea house, standing neatly, seeing Gongzicheng's car, they knelt on the ground together, shouting 'Wang', the voice was deep and deafening, like a person shouting, straight with a faint echo, and the end was full of breath.
Following Gongzicheng out of the car, Ye Ziyi glanced at the rangers who were standing far away, smiled coldly, turned his head and took the two children into the teahouse with Gongzicheng.
Although it has been five years, nothing has changed in the tea house, Ye Ziyi pulled Gongzicheng to sit by the big window, where he had sat with Yong, looking at the old window here, his eyes were almost bent into two crescents.
"I still remember when I went to Yecheng to look for you, I met Meng Gong here, if it wasn't for the fact that my uncle was here, it wouldn't be so easy to get out. Ye Ziyi looked around the store with emotion, pointed to a couch inside, and bent her eyes. "My uncle was sitting in that position, and he recognized me at a glance. ”
"My uncle was fighting for the old Wei at that time. Gongzi Cheng held Ye Ziyi's little hand and said warmly. "I worked hard for you during that time. ”
"For you, how can there be any hardship?" Ye Ziyi's little face was slightly red, and she was about to lean into Gongzicheng's arms, when Ah Fu on the opposite side spoke.
"Mother, there are thieves ambushing outside, the family's life is hanging by a thread, and my mother has to respect herself. ”
Ye Ziyi: "......"
"Big brother is right, if those thieves come, how should we deal with it?" Yongyi blinked his eyes wide, looking at Ah Fu beside him with a look of adoration, and his trust was overflowing.
"It's just a few scattered rangers, they can't get on the stage, what's there to be afraid of? With my father and mother here, they can't hurt us in the slightest. Ah Fu spoke, looked sideways inside, and raised his voice. "Where's Dr. Tea?
"Yes...... It's ......"
A young man came out trembling in the room, this young man was dressed in linen clothes, with a cloth towel on his shoulder, he peeked at the people in this room with a white face, quickly lowered his head, trembled to the couch where Ye Ziyi's family was, and knelt down with a 'poof'.
"Small, small I don't know where the nobles have arrived, and where the loss and disrespect are, I hope the nobles will not be guilty!"
Looking at the little boy who was so frightened that he couldn't say anything, Ye Ziyi smiled slightly and said softly. "Get up and talk, we're just here to eat tea, and we're here to make a good pot of tea. ”
"Yes, yes. The young Dr. Tea kowtowed repeatedly, took two steps back to his knees, and quickly got up and trotted to the tea-making room behind.
Watching the young man leave, Ye Ziyi sighed. "Alas, although it is a thing, it is a person, and the tea doctor back then does not know where he went. ”
Seeing Ye Ziyi's melancholy, Gongzi Cheng shook her hand and said. "How can things in the world be unchanging?"
"That's right, but I'm obsessed. Ye Ziyi hugged Gongzicheng's arm and looked at the clear blue sky outside. "It's a coincidence, every time I get here, I inevitably have a fight, which is really strange. ”
"Aunt Fang Cai Mei said that her mother was coming, these two battles, in the final analysis, were caused by her mother, right?" Ah Fu ignored Ye Ziyi's glare, and looked at the calm open space outside. "This is a good place to fight. ”
"Tsk, I just saw it. Ye Ziyi pursed her lips and said to Yongyi. "Yongyi baby, don't learn from your eldest brother, your eldest brother specializes in demolishing people and breaking the atmosphere, but it's easy to attract hatred, don't learn from him. ”
Yongyi blinked, and his wet black pupils stared at Ye Ziyi in confusion. "Mother, what is demolition? What is the atmosphere? Will it be hated if it is broken?"
"Tear down the stage, it's just that others are talking happily, he has to tell the truth and make people ugly, the atmosphere is not a thing, this ...... When you grow up, my mother will explain it to you. Ye Ziyi was talking to Yongyi, and Ah Fu on the other side suddenly raised his hand and interrupted her.
"Mother, look, who is that?"
Ye Ziyi looked in the direction of Ah Fu's finger, and saw that from the road leading to the inn not far away, a team of people and horses slowly came, this team of people and horses were all dressed in maroon brocade clothes, cloud boots and jade crowns, and even the horses they rode were famous horses worth thousands of gold, two or three hundred people, all of them were handsome and handsome in front, so moving, it really made people unable to take their eyes off.
"Heh, it's true that I've put so much effort into it, this appearance is really amazing!" Ye Ziyi leaned close to the window, watched the knights approach, shook his hand at the white-bearded man among the knights, and shouted very happily. "Uncle Zhong!Uncle Zhong!!"
Uncle Zhong, who was guarded by a group of young knights, stretched his neck and looked in the direction of Ye Ziyi with great difficulty, and saw Ye Ziyi in the window from the shoulders of everyone beside him, he raised the sword in his hand and shouted at Ye Ziyi. "Girl! The old slave is here with Gu Wei! Don't worry, girl, with me waiting here, I won't teach the girl to bully others!"
"Thank you, uncle, come in quickly!" Ye Ziyi shouted at the top of his voice as if no one was around, and Ah Fu and Gongzi Cheng on the side frowned, but Yongyi looked at the lively mother with a smile, her big eyes blinking, and she looked like she was eager to try.
"Yes!"
As he spoke, Uncle Zhong rode out of the team, explained to the leading knight, and ran over to the tea house.
Ye Ziyi, who was by the window, watched Uncle Zhong approach, jumped up like a bird, and walked towards the door of the tea house after stepping over the couch.
Gongzicheng followed Ye Ziyi out of the door with a faint face, and couldn't help frowning when he looked at Ye Ziyi, who was happily hugging Uncle Zhong.
"Uncle, how have you been doing all these years? Is Taoyuan Valley good? How are the horses in Zhuangzi raised? How are everyone?" Ye Ziyi pulled Uncle Zhong very happily and asked non-stop, but ignored Gongzicheng on the side.
"Okay, it's all right, the girl doesn't have to worry, the old slave brought Gu Wei out this time, and the people who stayed behind are all thinking about the girl, let me bring a good voice to the girl." Uncle Zhong smiled so much that the folds on his face were about to bloom, he looked at Ye Ziyi again and again, raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, he glanced at Gongzicheng and said to Ye Ziyi. "Girl, wait, let me meet King Qi. ”
Ye Ziyi reluctantly let go of Uncle Zhong's arm, wiped the tears of joy on his face, nodded, and stepped aside.
Uncle Zhong straightened the clothes on his body, took two steps closer to Gongzicheng, and knelt on the ground and saluted very properly. "Old slave Jing Zhong, meet King Qi!"
"Flat. Gongzicheng took a step forward, helped Uncle Zhong up, glanced at Ye Ziyi without a trace, and before Uncle Zhong got up and stood firm, Gongzicheng had already arrived at Ye Ziyi's side, hugged her into his arms, and said lightly to Uncle Zhong. "My husband asks me to speak. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Uncle Zhong thanked him, and Ye Ziyi on the side saw it and hurriedly spoke.
"Uncle, your family doesn't have to be so polite, let's go. Ye Ziyi was about to step forward to talk to Uncle Zhong again, but she didn't want her shoulders to be tightly hugged by Gongzicheng, but she couldn't move.
"Yes. Uncle Zhong bowed his hand, still respectful, took a step back, and waited for the two of them to go first.
Ye Ziyi still wanted to say something, but when she raised her eyes and saw Gongzi Cheng's slightly dark eyes, she immediately held back what she wanted to say.
The three of them were about to go back to the tea house to talk, when suddenly a ranger rode over on the avenue, and the horse galloped forward and rushed straight towards the location of Ye Ziyi and Gongzicheng!
