Liu Binyuan looked at the arrow target in the distance with a slight squint, and knocked on the strings. A hundred paces away, the feather arrow hit the bull's-eye. Xiao Ying'er applauded on the side.

"It's really good archery, you can teach me it when you have time, it should be interesting to learn!" Xiao Ying'er jumped to the target, looked at the feather arrow on the tail that was still trembling slightly, and shouted at Liu Binyuan, who was a hundred steps away.

Xiaoxi reminded in a low voice beside him: "Miss, Madam reminded you, as a young lady, it is really inappropriate to shout loudly, don't let Liu Gongzi feel that Miss is rude." ”

Xiao Ying'er pursed her lips and said angrily: "I know, I know, what my mother says all day long, you can hear it better than me." I'll throw you to my mother's side sooner or later, and listen to her all day long, but you can bear it!"

Xiaoxi smiled lightly: "Miss is reluctant." ”

Xiao Ying'er snorted deliberately, ignored it anymore, and ran in the direction of Liu Binyuan, only to hear Xiaoxi reminding behind her: "Miss shouldn't run like this......"

Liu Bin waited for Xiao Ying'er to approach, and then said with a smile: "This archery technique is not so easy to learn, I have been hunting in the north for several years before gradually practicing it, but I am afraid that Miss Ying'er will not be able to persevere, not to mention this thing, Miss Ying'er is useless if she learns it." ”

Xiao Ying'er turned her head and thought about it, and said, "Then forget it." You say you're hunting a lot in the North?" she had just put down a thought, and then she had an idea. At the mention of hunting, her eyes suddenly glowed with excitement, and a trace of frustration was fleeting, and she was immediately left behind.

"Yes, it's just that there are few mountains and forests near Benhai City, and it must be a little difficult to hunt. Liu Binyuan guessed what Xiao Ying'er meant, and said with a smile. Moreover, although Li Xianru and Xiao Yizhan agreed to the marriage contract and allowed Xiao Ying'er and herself to play and walk around the city from time to time, they just had to hunt outside the city, and it was a little dangerous, so they would not agree.

Xiao Ying'er had to let out an "oh" in disappointment. After a while, she asked, "Then when you were hunting, did you encounter anything interesting?" ”

Liu Binyuan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Can you see a guy who is eight or nine feet tall, with knee-length arms and two heads the size of ordinary people?"

Xiao Ying'er's eyes seemed to be glowing, and she hurriedly asked, "No, there are such strange people?"

Liu Binyuan nodded: "I found it when I was hunting, but it is not an ordinary human, but a group of barbarian apes living in the northern wasteland." At that time, he was seriously injured by the people of Yunzhou, and I happened to find his hiding place, so I bandaged his wounds, threw some prey to him, and became acquainted with him. Although he was born huge and fierce, he was docile and not bloodthirsty, but very easy to get close to. ”

"Ah, it turns out that these strange creatures are still in the north, but it's much more interesting than this Running Sea City. ”

Liu Binyuan smiled: "If you are interested, when you come to Shuozhou in the future, I will take you to see him." His father was not worried about letting him go, so they kept him in a cave, ignoring him, but they would not let him out. When I get back, I'll be in the cave. When the time comes, I'll be in the north, and I'll be able to take you on a hunt at will. ”

Xiao Ying'er clapped her hands and applauded, then she looked at the bow in Liu Binyuan's hand, and said thoughtfully: "The eldest brother and mother both said that the Liu family is famous for archery, and what sheep and chickens are called, it must also be named after hunting." ”

Liu Binyuan was stunned for a moment: "What chicken and what sheep?" Then he saw Xiaoxi covering his mouth behind Xiao Ying'er and chuckling, and immediately reacted, laughing and said: "Miss Ying'er is really interesting, it is called 'Wind and Snow Ji', our Liu family's swordsmanship is the sword of the sword, not the arrow of the bow and arrow." ”

"Oh, it's called Wind and Snow! What kind of sheep and chicken, it's so ugly. Then do you know how to dance a sword?" Xiao Ying'er couldn't help but feel a little proud when she heard Liu Binyuan boast that she was funny.

Liu Binyuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said: "Although I practiced this swordsmanship when I was a child, I really wasn't very proficient in it, and I hadn't touched the sword for a long time, but I barely made some moves." However, this swordsmanship, among the younger generation, is the most refined and practiced by my sister. As he spoke, a lonely look flashed on Liu Binyuan's face.

Xiao Ying'er naturally didn't see it, and asked, "Do you still have a sister?Does the woman in the north also practice swordsmanship?Why didn't she come with you?"

Liu Binyuan just smiled: "My sister is ...... She has some things to do, not in Shuozhou, otherwise she should also come to Benhai City. ”

Xiao Ying'er nodded with some disappointment. Liu Bin looked at her disappointed look from afar, and he also thought of Liu Qingxue, who didn't know where to go, and felt quite melancholy in his heart.

Xiao Ying'er asked again, "Then who has the most powerful swordsmanship in the north?" is it your sister?"

Liu Binyuan said with a smile: "Although my sister has some talent for martial arts, her cultivation time is short, and she is really far from the title of the most powerful. I don't know the name of the strongest, but if you want to talk about the most famous, the 'North and South Double Swords' were the most dominant in the world, and no one has been able to beat it for so many years, so the strongest name in the north should belong to the 'Sword of the North' Feng Sword Beifeng General. Although he is not a member of my Liu family, he has a close relationship with my Liu family, and his wife is still my father's cousin, so he has also learned this 'wind and snow'. He was the one who led the troops to attack Yunzhou this time, and presumably the battle situation in Yunzhou would soon be over. ”

"Oh. Xiao Ying'er was just very curious about the mysterious sister, but she didn't have much interest in the so-called "Sword of the North".

Liu Binyuan noticed it, so he said with a smile: "If you want to see this sword technique, it's not interesting for me to dance the sword alone, so I'll pick a few people from Shuozhou to show you the sword." They are all direct descendants of the Liu family, and most of them have been learning this swordsmanship for several years. ”

Xiao Ying'er clapped her hands and applauded, and Liu Binyuan ordered an attendant to go to the Liu family's residence to call someone.

It's just that not long after the entourage left, Xiao Yizhan walked over with a red face, his face was happy, and Liu Guanglei was followed behind him. Xiao Ying'er knew that Xiao Yizhan's face would flush when she was a little excited, as if she was drinking, so she quipped, "Big brother, where have you been drinking?"

Xiao Yizhan laughed and said, "The news just came from Yunzhou, General Feng from the north went all the way south and helped the coalition army conquer Yunzhong City. The majestic Yunzhou has fallen! Such a great victory, thanks to the great help of the Liu family. As he spoke, he bowed to Liu Binyuan, and then turned to Liu Guanglei to salute.

Xiao Ying'er's eyes lit up and said, "Then Dad is coming back." ”

"It's not certain, now the Shuozhou army and my father are still stationed in Yunzhong City for rectification, and my father's intention seems to be to include Yunzhou in the territory and put it under the jurisdiction of Chengji Wangfu, so it may take some time to rectify and integrate the officials and squires over there. ”

Xiao Ying'er said with a smile: "Okay, good!" Father Kang Tai is not in danger and does not need to worry, and he does not control himself in the house, which can be said to be good news for Xiao Ying'er, so her smile is getting brighter and brighter.

Xiao Yizhan understood Xiao Ying'er's thoughts, and he didn't break it, he only glared at her with a smile, then looked at Liu Guanglei and asked, "General Feng, who led the troops in Shuozhou, is he willing to come to Benhai City, and we can also entertain the sergeant to express our gratitude?"

Liu Guanglei said with a smile: "The prince doesn't know, this general has a strange temper, and he is not very interested in everything outside the battlefield, so he must go north after resting, so there is no need to bother." ”

Xiao Yizhan nodded and said, "Then I will arrange a banquet today, chat to express my gratitude, and invite everyone in the Liu family to appreciate their faces." Liu Guanglei followed behind Xiao Yizhan early in the morning, and Liu Binyuan immediately understood that Xiao Yizhan had come to invite him on purpose, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "The prince is gracious, Binyuan should go to the banquet." ”

Everyone walked out together, Liu Guanglei and Xiao Yizhan chatted politely, Liu Binyuan followed quietly, only Xiao Ying'er was a little depressed because she couldn't see "what sheep and what chicken", but she was still diluted by the good news brought by Xiao Yizhan.

Xiao Ying'er and Liu Binyuan were originally in a remote garden in the Chengji Palace, some distance from the main hall, and when they came out of the partial garden, it was a flower garden in the mansion. This piece of flower garden is Li Xianru deliberately looking for someone to take care of, at this time it is spring, the flowers in the flower garden are blooming, Xiao Ying'er saw the flowers in the flower garden, and immediately became interested again, so she did not go with Xiao Yizhan and others, and led a few maids into the flower garden.
