013 My awkward chat with King Mu
The prince suddenly drew his bow, aiming at the head of the palace man.
Seeing this, the palace people's faces turned blue with fright, and the blood that came out of their foreheads flowed all over their faces, which was a little hideous.
No one in the East Palace doesn't know the prince's temperament, and he is ready to fly at this moment. But he couldn't give up the slightest hope, and he was still begging at the end of the day: "I beg Your Highness to ......"
In the next moment, I heard the tremor of the arrows coming off the string, and I heard a sound I had never heard before, like a bamboo stick piercing an apple.
I plucked up the courage to look over, the head of the palace man had become a blood gourd, barely recognizable the outline of his facial features, his eyes and mouth were wide open, as if to accuse such a death, he was unwilling, and he was not at ease.
The prince's arrows pierced straight through his temples, their feathers still trembling proudly.
"Who's next?" The prince's voice was cold and relaxed, as if it came from hell, and it made people shudder.
None of these palace people around me are frightened birds, with their heads bowed and trembling......
I lamented in my heart, no matter how low my status is, which one is not born to my parents? In contrast, I'm the most carefree here.
I just witnessed a death, and I just feel uncomfortable everywhere in my body, and I'm really enough for this kind of day in this era! Maybe I'll be able to wear it back when I'm dead, that's how it was played in TV dramas.
I didn't want to hesitate any longer, I didn't have the courage to think too much, so I boldly stepped forward to "slave ......"
At this time, my sleeve was pulled, and a gentle and beautiful voice came from behind me: "I'm coming." β
King Mu walked to the front, and the strength to hold my clothes disappeared.
The prince looked at him in surprise, the palace people looked at him like a savior, and I was the most confused.
"Seventh brother, ...... you" The prince looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Sixth brother, haven't you always wanted me to try it too, so let's start with raising the target." As he spoke, he had already picked up a disc target in his hand, walked to the target position, stood the disc target on his chest, and looked at the prince.
"Damn ......" The prince lunged and aimed for a long time, and the bow in his hand was already full, but he never released the arrow.
King Mu's smile suddenly expanded, and he said with a smile: "What's the matter, Sixth Brother, I have changed to a disc target that won't tremble today, but I can't do it?" β
The prince snorted disappreciatively, "Look at the arrows!" Suddenly he let out a low roar and finally released the arrow.
Everyone turned their eyes as fast as they could, looking at the disc target in King Mu's hand.
I saw that the arrow was inserted in the center of the disc target impartially, but this time almost the whole arrow did not enter, leaving only the tail of the arrow to tremble.
King Mu half-bowed his head, his two arms straightened forward, and the two hands holding the disc target were clearly defined, obviously just exerting force.
And the arrow, pointing to the position of his heart, is only an inch away.
Unexpectedly, King Mu's reaction speed and strength were so amazing, and anyone else present would definitely die.
King Mu pulled out the arrow, held it in his hand and looked at it for a moment and said: "The sixth brother is really rich in strength, and the foolish brother is ashamed. β
The prince snorted and said: "You and I are modest fart, just now there are few people in the palace who can parry, don't you know, as soon as the arrow leaves the string, you will regret it, and if something happens to you, your father can spare the palace?" β
When I heard this, I thought it was a little funny. It seems that the crown prince is not stupid, and he knows in his heart that the emperor's father prefers King Mu the most.
Fortunately, this round finally made the prince happy, he threw away his bow and arrows, jumped on his horse, and said to King Mu with a stiff rope on his back: "You practice first, and the palace will go to walk the horse." After speaking, the man called Ma Xiao and galloped away.
Looking at the smoke and dust all the way in the direction where the prince left, I stood for a long time, and I didn't know what I was thinking, in short, my heart was very tired.
"Not afraid of death?" Not far away, King Mu's calm and gentle voice was heard.
I immediately looked at him, and sure enough, he was looking at me.
I didn't know how to answer, and I couldn't say the real reason, so I could only take a few steps forward and bow and bow: "King Xie Mu's life-saving grace." β
He gave me a false help and flattened me. Then he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time." β
As soon as he said this, I immediately recalled the time when the tiger cage escaped, and indeed twice. But he took the initiative, and I didn't know what to do, did I have to say it again?
"How can I thank me?" He said again.
I stared at him in astonishment, stared at him for a few seconds, felt rude, and immediately staggered my gaze.
That's what I asked! If I weren't a eunuch now, I would have thought he was going to tease me!
I had no choice but to respectfully replied: "The slave and maid are lowly, and I am afraid that the prince will not look down on them if they do everything they have. β
After a moment of silence, he suddenly changed his words: "Where are you from?" β
My nerves tightened, this seemed to be the most difficult problem I had encountered, I went straight to the palace, the air outside the palace had not been smelled, where could I say the name of the place, and this kind of trace thing could not be made up.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button, frozen in place, only my brain racing.
Finally, the play continued, and I said: "Back to the words of the prince, the slave has lost his parents since he was a child, and he has been displaced and wandered around, until he enters the palace and recognizes these four palace walls as his home. β
I was secretly proud in my heart, but I was fortunate to have a strong and intelligent soul in my delicate body! Hmph, just with your group of *~ cubs, my sister has eaten nearly ten years more rice than you!
Hearing this, he curled the corners of his mouth, and his thin lips were faintly bloody, which was very attractive. "But I heard that your writing was taught by your father."
ββ¦β¦ The slave's poetry is all taught by the slave's father......"
ββ¦β¦ The slave and maid have lost their parents since they were young, and they have been displaced ......"
These two sentences were indeed said by me personally, so I was dumbfounded again, is it just so exposed?
Who did he listen to? 100% is the crown prince! Who would have thought that the two princes of their idleness would talk about the family affairs of one of my eunuchs!
I took a deep breath and didn't want to give up, so I stabilized my mind, cleared my throat and said solemnly: "Back to the prince, the slave has no mother since she was a child, and the poetry and literature are indeed taught by the slave's father, and then the father also died, leaving only the slave and a five-year-old brother to depend on each other, and later, the younger brother lost his life due to smallpox." The world is so big that only the slave and maid are left alone, and since then they have begun to wander and wander, making their homes everywhere, until they later entered the palace as an errand. Tears glistened in my eyes as I finished speaking.
The reason why I also made up a younger brother is because I think that in this era, whether rich or poor, people have a group of children, which seems more realistic. If I can still think of all kinds of ways to die, I don't mind having a few more younger siblings.
He nodded slightly: "That's the case...... It was a pretty tight time. β
whatοΌοΌ Pressed for time? What does this mean? Is he sarcastic about me!!
While he didn't continue to say anything, I quickly lied that I had slipped away beforehand, this is really an embarrassing conversation!
My intuition tells me that this King Mu is not simple and dangerous.
His danger is different from that of the prince, offending the prince is to suffer in flesh and skin, the worst is a whimper, and finally turn into one of the poor souls who died in the long river of history, but his personality is at least stoic and sound.
And King Mu is a person, he can't guess what he's thinking at all, but he seems to be able to see through other people's hearts, the key is that he sees through it and doesn't say it thoroughly, in front of him, you think you're hiding from the world, but in fact, he just quietly looks at your stupid interpretation.
