Chapter 43: King Yan Sends Horses
Early the next morning, Ji Ying poked her head out of the bed and found that it was raining outside. She lay on the bed and shouted, "Someone! ”
A servant came in and asked, "My lord, what do you command?" ”
Ji Ying said angrily: "If you go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jing'an, you will say that today the heavens are not beautiful, and it has rained so heavily that it is inconvenient to ask His Royal Highness King Xiaohuai for martial arts." You have to thank Xiao Huaiwang for my kindness. ”
The subordinate made a gesture: "Yes!" ”
Ji Ying cheered and continued to sleep.
It's a pity that Ji Ying's return to the cage was not yet confused, when she heard Miao Ji come in and shook her vigorously. Ji Ying stretched her eyelids and asked, "Miaomiao, what's going on?" ”
Miao Judge dragged Ji Ying up and said, "Why are you still sleeping?" King Xiao Huai brought two guards to our house, and now he is drinking tea in the small pavilion under the porch. He's brought the target and told you to get there! ”
"Huh? Seriously? ”
"Seriously! Hurry up! ”
Ji Ying let out a loud cry and threw the pillow to the ground, "Jiang Yichen, are you a little ghost?" It's so tough! ”
Ji Ying was fully dressed, and when she left the bedroom, she saw an arrow target placed under the porch. At the other end of the corridor is a small gazebo. Jiang Yichen was sipping tea leisurely in this small pavilion.
Ji Ying unveiled the arrow target, walked to Jiang Yichen's side, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanqing, why did you come here in person with such a heavy rain?" ”
"Hmm." Jiang Yichen didn't raise his head.
Ji Ying sat on the other side of the stone table, and gave Jiang Yichen tea with a smile: "Hehe, you see, the younger brother is an official of the imperial court, even if he wants to learn martial arts from his brother, why is the errand pressed, not to mention that it is raining today, or will it be another day?" ”
Jiang Yichen squatted the tea bowl on the stone table, and the stone table made a crisp sound. Ji Ying's heart was weak, and she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly lowered her head.
Jiang Yichen said: "Recently, the case has reached an impasse, what else do you want to investigate?" ”
"Hmm...... I haven't visited Lord Meng and Lord Qi's mansions yet, and I may have gained something from going there today. ”
"These cases are all the same, on the surface, they didn't lose any valuables, and these two adults were killed in public, what will you gain when you go to someone's house?"
"Hmm...... I think...... Hmmm......"
"You just want to be lazy!"
"No, no, how could it be!" Ji Ying hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Since I didn't, I'm here anyway, so we might as well practice here. Anyway, practicing archery is the same everywhere. ”
"Practicing archery here?"
Jiang Yichen raised his head and looked at Ji Ying: "What, don't agree?" ”
"Agreed! Agree ......"
"Since you agree," Jiang Yichen cocked Erlang's legs, "then you will run around your house three times first and move your muscles and bones." ”
"Three laps? Right now? It's raining! ”
Jiang Yichen pointed at himself, and then pointed at Ji Ying: "What?" You mean, let me hold your umbrella and you run? ”
Ji Ying hurriedly hugged Jiang Yichen's fingers and said, "No, I'll run!" ”
"It's not interesting for you to run by yourself, it just so happens that I brought two people, both of whom are stupid, and I just want to train them. Well, how about letting them both run with you? ”
"Take me for a run? What do you mean? ”
Jiang Yichen took a rope, wrapped it around Ji Ying's waist, and handed the two ends of the rope to the two guards. It was stipulated that the two guards should pull Ji Ying to run as fast as possible, and once Jiang Yichen felt that they were running slowly, they had to add a circle.
Ji Ying asked, "Why is it called running slowly?" ”
Jiang Yichen glanced at the stone table, pointed to the teapot and said, "If you haven't arrived after I finish drinking tea, call it slow." ”
Ji Ying looked at the fist-sized teapot and yelled, "How is it possible! You're deliberately embarrassing me! ”
Jiang Yichen fiddled with the teacup in his hand and said, "Do you think everyone is like you?" Since it is a kung fu tea, it naturally needs to be tasted well. Don't talk nonsense, your little teapot can make four cups of tea, and I've already finished the first one. ”
Ji Ying still had to theorize, but the two guards were extremely dedicated, one of them pulled the end of the rope and rushed into the rain as if flying.
Jiang Yichen said that his two guards were stupid, phew! These two people ran extremely fast and walked in unison, Ji Ying was firmly held, and he couldn't be lazy if he wanted to. No matter how Ji Ying pleaded for mercy, please slow down a little bit, and both of them were indifferent. Ji Ying's waist was strangled and painful, and she had to run forward desperately.
The rain showed no sign of abating, and the ground was wet and muddy. Ji Ying didn't pay attention, his feet slipped, and he fell into the mud pit, and the muddy water was splashed high, which confused Ji Ying's body. However, the two guards didn't give Ji Ying a chance to "heal", and dragged her to continue running. Ji Ying scolded "inhuman guy" and continued to chase forward.
Jiang Yichen sat in the gazebo, saw Ji Ying running dirtily in the rain, he was in a good mood, and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, and there is one last cup of tea!" ”
Three laps were finally completed. Ji Ying lay on the stone steps outside the pavilion soaking wet, letting the water column on the eaves of the pavilion wash away the dirt on her body. Jiang Yichen walked up to Ji Ying with a teapot, looked at Ji Ying who was panting and was about to suffocate, and slowly tilted the teapot. Not a single drop of water leaked from the teapot.
"I've long since run out of tea. Ji Ying, make me tea first, and then run. Jiang Yichen ordered unfazed.
Ji Ying looked at Jiang Yichen's hateful face, looked at the pitiful teapot in front of him, snatched the teapot one by one, and ran into the main hall. Miao Ji, who had been standing at the door of the main hall, was distressed, and she saw Ji Ying running over with a teapot and hurriedly took it.
"Miaomiao," Ji Ying shouted angrily, "bring me all the poisonous herbs of our croton, hook kiss, snake venom, aconitum and arsenic, and I want to make tea!" ”
"My little ancestor, you can rest for a while and dissipate your anger." Miao Tailor pulled Ji Ying to sit down, went to make tea by himself, and then took a warm hand towel to wipe Ji Ying's face. She said distressedly: "Don't sit still, go change your clothes, it's a big cold." ”
Ji Ying threw the handkerchief on the table, and was about to go to the back room to change clothes, when he heard Jiang Yichen shouting: "Ji Ying, does it take so long to make a tea?" Did you boil yourself in? ”
Ji Ying carried the handle of the teapot, ran back to the pavilion menacingly, and threw it at Jiang Yichen. Ji Ying wanted to burn Jiang Yichen, but she didn't expect Jiang Yichen to turn around beautifully and hold the teapot handle with his backhand. He sat on the stone bench, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "How can this highly poisonous tea taste the same as the tea just now?" Not bad, so good! ”
Ji Ying knew that she was so good-hearted that she wouldn't put anything in the tea, she was just looking for a mouthful, but when Jiang Yichen said this, she really regretted it. If you have the opportunity, you must have Jiang Yichen take a good taste of the poisonous heart.
During the quarrel, the next person came to report, and His Royal Highness King Yan arrived.
King Yan? Ji Ying didn't believe her ears a little. What is he here for?
Don't dare to slack off, Ji Ying hurriedly came out to greet her. Jiang Yichen picked up the oil-paper umbrella placed next to the stone bench and followed out.
When Ji Ying came, he saw Yan Wang Zhou Yu dressed in rain-stained clothes, leading a jujube red horse, and standing under the narrow eaves outside the door with his hands. At his feet was a wooden box, next to which was an oil-paper umbrella.
Ji Ying hurriedly invited Zhou Yu to enter the door. Zhou Yu looked at Ji Ying's embarrassed appearance, and then glanced at Jiang Yichen who rushed over, and his heart was relieved, and he pursed his lips and smiled rarely. He patted the horse beside him and said, "Yuanqing is being an instructor for Lord Ji?" Just right. Lord Ji, Yuanqing asked me to choose a docile horse in the army, and said that adults should learn to ride horses. I looked for it and found this one to be very good. I happened to pass by your mansion, so I sent it over. ”
Ji Ying was surprised, she never dreamed that a prince would brave the rain to send her a horse! She hurriedly bowed down and said gratefully: "How can Ji Ying be so bothered that the prince personally braved the rain to send the horse!" Thank you, Lord Wang! ”
Zhou Yu threw the reins of the horse to Jiang Yichen, and then said, "Ran Ran heard that you are going to learn to ride a horse, so I ordered a box of fine horse harness. You put it away. ”
Ji Ying looked at the huge wooden box, flattered, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness King Xie Yan and the little princess are gifted!" ”
Jiang Yichen smiled beside him: "Cousin, you see that Ji Ying is scared." ”
Originally, Zhou Yu just wanted to repay Zhou Ran's debt as soon as possible, after all, he was a person who hated trouble, but he didn't expect him to be in such a hurry, he forgot to take care of Ji Ying's idea, and at the moment he helped him out, laughing at himself and saying: "I'm just an idle foreigner, I'm here to repay the adult's kindness, I'm going to leave the capital in a few days, adults don't have to be nervous." ”
Don't be nervous? No matter how weak the tiger is, it is not a cat, not to mention that this prince is more terrible than an ordinary "tiger", he is not favored by His Majesty, but he holds 500,000 male soldiers in the north in his hands. How dare she despise it?
Zhou Yu is a person who will not be polite, he finished delivering things, took the umbrella, declined Ji Ying's kindness, and walked away very simply on the water that did not pass the upper of his shoes.
Zhou Yu disappeared around the corner, and Ji Ying had not yet recovered from his senses. Jiang Yichen stabbed Ji Ying's wet arm with the tip of his umbrella and said, "Everyone is far away, Master Ji, can we continue?" ”
Ji Ying looked at Jiang Yichen, who had always remembered her, and said, "Yes, yes......"
After a few days of dire life, Ji Ying continued to challenge the limit under Jiang Yichen's devilish training. The serial murder case that shocked the government and the opposition seems to have been forgotten by His Majesty and the courtiers and no longer mentioned it. And this deliberate oblivion is evoked again under the hooves of a man's messy horse......
