Liu Yu put down the knife and said to the princes who were messing around: "Brothers, stop for a while, do you see the tallest poplar tree next to you, who dares to climb up and pick up the bird's nest on the poplar tree, brother, my baby, pick it up to him." ”

A group of children instantly approached this tall poplar tree, only to see that this tree is straight and straight, straight into the sky, three or four stories high, the straight trunk below supports the top of the luxuriant canopy, the branches are hung with poplar catkins, it is very spectacular, a bird's nest is faintly visible in the branch support, there are birds around the frolic, at this time Liu De, the king of the river, came over, although Liu De is the oldest here, but usually does not like to dance knives and guns, only interested in reading, Liu De said: " Brother, this tree is too high, and the trunk below has no branches, so it is not easy to climb. ”

"My brother is right, my brother is right. The other princes chimed in, expressing their unanimous opinion.

Who knew that Liu Yu's small chest was pulled out and said: "Brothers, if Yu'er climbs up to the treetops and takes down the bird's nest, each of your treasures must let me pick one." ”

"This, this, brother, is indeed dangerous. Liu Fei, the fifth son of the emperor who had participated in the pacification of the rebellion of the vassal states, said immediately.

"Oh, fifth brother, where is your courage to fight on the battlefield in the past, today my brother I will climb up and let you brothers see. ”

"Hey, brother, how can this have anything to do with war. Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, stepped aside as if he was angry.

Liu Che shouted: "Zhang Jiayang, bring the ladder." ”

At this time, Zhang Jiayang moved a very high ladder from the side and said, "Lord Wang, you really want to climb a tree." ”

"yes, what's wrong with climbing trees, give me a ladder to the trunk, I'll climb the ladder first, then the trunk. ”

"Lord Wang, this is very dangerous. Zhang Jiayang dissuaded.

"Duwei Zhang, you have to ensure the safety of this king today, and I will start climbing immediately. ”

"This, this ......" Zhang Jiayang was speechless with a flushed face, thinking that this Liu Yu is too much, he didn't say anything about being naughty, but let himself be responsible for his safety, this errand is really not easy to do.

Liu Yu pulled up his trouser legs and the corners of his clothes, and felt that there was no tension in his body, so he grabbed the ladder and climbed up, everyone held their breath, and watched Liu Yu perform with full attention, don't you really say it, Liu Yu actually climbed to the top of the ladder vigorously, and then climbed up, he was about to grab the smallest branch under the canopy, only to see Liu Yu exert all his strength, a pair of small hands holding the tree trunk, small feet stepped on the top beam of the ladder, and then used strength to grab the branches, the crowd below was even more frightened, dozens of zhang high, if it fell down, it would be shattered, you really don't say, Liu Yu really climbed the tree twice, and in a blink of an eye, both hands have grabbed the branch, the little feet also climbed to the top of the canopy, and at this time, the children below shouted somebody: "Okay, my brother is amazing." Then there was applause.

Liu Yu looked at the green leaves around him, and then looked at the bird's nest getting closer and closer, and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, help me look at it, don't just applaud, be careful that the bird's nest falls and hits your head, it's not fun." ”

"Brother, you pay attention to safety, we are all watching. Liu De, the king of the river below, shouted.

Immediately afterwards, dead branches began to fall from the top of the tree, and poplar catkins also fell down and flew around, making the people below everywhere, and looking at a piece of white flowers from a distance.

At this moment, one of the guards shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

As soon as everyone under the tree heard that their brother Liu Rong was coming, they all looked at the road in the distance, Liu Rong came over with a few personal guards, and the brothers and sisters immediately saluted Liu Rong and said, "Brother Prince." ”

Liu Rong looked around at everyone and laughed: "It turns out that the younger brothers and sisters are all here, and there is no one to inform the elder brother when they arrive so well." ”

Liu De, the king of Hejian, is Liu Rong's half-brother, both born to Concubine Li, Liu De stepped forward and said softly: "Brother, who dares to disturb you, you are now the key protection object of your mother, and if anyone disturbs your study, you will be punished." ”

"Oh, who rules this. ”

"Who else could it be but our mother. ”

"I see. Liu Rong turned to look at everyone, and then asked, "Why isn't Brother Liu Yu here?" ”

Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, pointed to the tops of the poplar tree with his finger, Liu Rong looked up and was immediately shocked: "Liu Yu, what's the matter, it's very dangerous on this, come down quickly." ”

As soon as Liu Yu heard that it was Brother Tai Zirong calling him, he immediately replied: "Brother Prince, junior brother will go down, don't worry, wait for me to take off the bird's nest." ”

Liu Yu climbed up for a distance, approaching the bird's nest, one hand grabbed the treetops, one hand was about to reach out to fetch it, suddenly a small bird flew in front of Liu Yu, chirping non-stop, from time to time wanted to get close to Liu Yu's head, and tried his best to resist Liu Yu's intruder, Liu Yu stared at the round eyes and shouted loudly: "Little bird, don't go away quickly, Hugh will affect the king to play." Who knew that the little bird seemed to understand Liu Yu's words and moved to the distant branches, and stared at Liu Yu with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Rong hurriedly shouted: "Brother Yu'er, come down quickly, so as not to be in danger." ”

"Brother Rong, I'm going to take down the bird's nest, I've already made a bet with my brothers. After Liu Yu said, he took another step towards the bird's nest, stretched out his head to look at the bird's nest, and found a pile of bird eggs spread in the center of the bird's nest, so Liu Yu then shouted, "Brother Rong, there are a lot of bird eggs in here." ”

Liu Rong immediately shouted: "Brother Yu'er, that is the bird's home, and the bird's egg is its child, you can let go of their home and children, this bet is considered your win, okay?" ”

"That's true. ”

"There is no lie. ”

"Okay, I'll go down. ”

After Liu Yu finished speaking, a pair of small hands dragged the treetops to climb down, and when he reached the main trunk of the tree below, a pair of small feet hanging down began to look for the ladder beam, and it took a lot of effort to transfer the whole body to the ladder, and finally got out of the dangerous branch, Liu Yu smiled and said: "Brothers, I'll come down now." ”

While talking and gesturing with his hand, who knew that he was not paying attention, a small foot stepped on the air, and one hand grabbed the ladder beam to make the ladder lose its balance, as soon as the ladder tilted, Liu Yu's whole person flew down from the ladder, and the princes and princesses below were frightened and exclaimed, and some even closed their eyes and did not dare to look again, Zhang Jiayang saw this and immediately shouted: "Lord Wang be careful." Zhang Jiayang hugged Liu Yu tightly with both hands, and the upward force was offset by the momentum of Liu Yu's fall, and the two fell down, when the two were about to land, Zhang Jiayang's feet fell hard, and he fell vertically, and then hugged Liu Yu to roll on the spot, and when the two stopped, Liu Yu's face was covered with soil, and he got up from the ground, rubbed his eyes, and said with a smile: " This king is so dangerous, but he finally landed safely, listen to my brothers, I can't cancel the bet before I go up the tree. ”

At this time, the princes and princesses recovered from the shock just now, and looked at Liu Yu's dusty dress, with gray and white colors on his face, and they all laughed, and Liu De, the king of Hejian, approached Liu Yu and patted the dust on his body and asked, "Brother, didn't hurt you, did you?"

"Where, this king is commanded by heaven and cannot be hurt. ”

"Hahaha, okay, we lost the bet just now, and we admit defeat. Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, also smiled.

Liu Rong also laughed: "Brother Yu'er is really bold, my brother admires, my brother admires, my brother admires, my brother, I heard that some time ago, your royal palace commander captured a bear with his bare hands, which made my brother admire him very much, I don't know if I can let my brother see Zhang Jiayang and appreciate the majesty of the samurai." ”

"Oh, it turns out that my brother is here for my Zhang Duwei, why not. Liu Yu said this, turned to look at Zhang Jiayang, who had just gotten up from the ground, and then said, "Jiayang, come here, I will introduce you to the prince's brother." ”

"No. Zhang Jiayang walked closer and knelt down to the prince to salute.

Liu Rong walked around Zhang Jiayang three times and couldn't help but sigh: "The tiger's back is a real hero, the strong man is shocked everywhere, he is not inferior to today's real heroes, and he is talented in martial arts to capture the black bear." ”

"Okay, okay, what Brother Prince said is too good, Zhang Duwei got up and asked Brother Prince to take a good look. Liu Yu heard Liu Rong's admiration and immediately said excitedly.

"No. Zhang Jiayang stood up and bowed his hand to the prince.

The crown prince Liu Rong laughed and said: "Brother, there is such a fierce general by your side, why worry about not being safe, I heard that Zhang Duwei's martial arts are very good, and he has made great contributions when the vassal states rebelled, can you show you your martial arts, so that I can open my eyes." ”

Liu Yu smiled at Zhang Jiayang and said, "Duwei Zhang, since the prince's brother wants to see your martial arts, let's give everyone a trip to practice swordsmanship." ”

"No. Zhang Jiayang was not easy to push, so he strode to the weapon rack, picked up a bright steel knife, took a bow-shaped step, and began to practice, the knife moved with the person, the person followed the knife, from slow to fast, and finally the shadow of the knife light wrapped the whole person, and the leaves flew everywhere he went.

Seeing this, Liu Rong couldn't help but applaud: "Good, good, good knife technique." ”

The other princes and princesses also applauded, and when they heard the applause, Zhang Jiayang danced more energetically, and wonderful movements were staged one after another.

After a while, Zhang Jiayang stopped and walked towards the crown prince Liu Rong, Liu Rong exclaimed: "Zhang Duwei is really a master of the Yi clan, and his martial arts are many times higher than some rangers in China. ”

Prince Xie complimented. ”

Liu Rong turned to Liu Yu and said, "Brother, in the future, my brother will come when he is free, and let Zhang Duwei teach a few tricks to defend himself and keep fit." ”

"My brother is waiting for my brother to come at any time, but I heard my father and mother say, brother, you are different from us, and you will inherit your father as the emperor in the future, and you have little free time, so I am afraid that you will not have time to come, or you will not recognize us brothers in the future. ”

"Oh, my brother will take the time to come, what is the difference, we are all brothers, brothers for one day, brothers in this life, how can brothers not recognize it, hehehe. ”

"Hahaha, what the prince's brother said is too good. The other princes chimed in.

A group of people talked and laughed endlessly in the martial arts training field, and the childlike nature was released here, and these children in fine clothes and jade food felt more brotherly affection in the game.

Put down the princes to have fun, and say that in the north of Chang'an City two hundred miles away, there stands a hill that is not high or short, the name is Ganquan Mountain, the grass and trees on the mountain are vigorous, lush, the flowers compete for beauty in summer, the fragrance is lingering, the autumn fruit is abundant, the delicate drops are attractive, the air around the mountain is fresh all year round, it is a good place for people to maintain health and play, there is a square radius of millions of square meters of flat land at the southern foot of the mountain, here is the place where the ancient Yellow Emperor sacrificed to the heavens and ascended to the immortals, Qin Shi Huang built the Linguang Palace here after the unification of the six countries, and there is the Qin straight road to the palace, to meet the needs of the rapid transfer of Qin soldiers to fight against the Xiongnu, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, a golden palace was built in the middle of the flat land, known as Ganquan Palace, is used as the emperor's palace for cultivating the mind.

In today's Ganquan Palace Longevity Palace, people come in and out, busy and abnormal, all with solemn expressions, and their hearts are heavy; at this time, a dusty carriage came from the Qin Straight Road, and there was a noble lady on the car, well-dressed, graceful and decent, the carriage stopped at the palace gate of Ganquan Palace, and a slave in front of the car hurriedly walked up the steps of the gate, and saw a guard and said: "The eldest princess came to visit the emperor, please report to the inside immediately." He said and handed the guard a token.

"No, please wait at the door. The guards ran to the palace after receiving the token, and the guards passed the news to the messenger around Liu Qi, who walked to Liu Qi's sickbed in small steps, and it could be seen at a glance that Liu Qi's condition had worsened, and he had no power to speak, and the messenger said softly: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess came to visit Your Majesty, and is now waiting at the palace gate." ”

I only heard Liu Qi uh and said, "Sister... Sister... Here it is, there is... Please. ”

"No. The messenger turned to the door to report.

I saw the eldest princess Liu Concubine get out of the car, supported by the attendant Xiaohong, Liu Concubine glanced at the messenger and asked, "How is the emperor's condition now?"

"Eldest princess, the emperor is not in good health, it is better to talk less for a while. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Liu Yan took a big step and hurriedly walked into the Longevity Hall of Ganquan Palace.
