Eighty-two
At night, the bonfires on the grassland are brilliant and dazzling, and the fireworks in the sky are brilliant and colorful. On the grassland tonight, there are people everywhere lighting bonfires on the grassland, and then the family sits in a circle. Among these people are princes and ministers, royal relatives and nobles, as well as ordinary people.
Every year, the bonfire festival in the Northern Lion Country is a festival of fun with the people.
In an inconspicuous corner of the prairie, a bonfire is lit. Sitting around the bonfire were Mu Zhijun, Yu Yaorong, Qingfeng and Nangong Yiqing. They sat together, talking, laughing, and baking something to eat from time to time.
In the dark, a figure walked over, and when he got closer, it was Chen Tianyu. Today, Chen Tianyu was dressed in casual clothes and carried two pots of wine. I saw Chen Tianyu combing the woman's hair bun, and after dressing himself up, he became soft.
When Mu Zhijun saw Chen Tianyu, he greeted with a smile: "General Chen, don't come unharmed!" ”
Chen Tianyu walked to Mu Zhijun's side, and Mu Zhijun moved to the side and gave her a place. Chen Tianyu sat down beside Mu Zhijun unceremoniously, and handed a jar of wine in his hand to Mu Zhijun, and after Mu Zhijun took it, he quipped: "General Chen, what's wrong?" Did you want me to drink with you to relieve your boredom? ”
Chen Tianyu snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "Joke, there are still battles in this world that I Chen Tianyu can't win?" ”
Mu Zhijun smiled and closed his mouth, and secretly said in his heart, it is worthy of being taught by me, and his temperament really follows me.
Chen Tianyu has a bold temperament and does things informally, and Chen Tianyu's martial arts were taught by Mu Zhijun. Chen Tianyu's favorite thing is to taste fine wine, and Chen Tianyu's wine volume is a thousand glasses. Of course, Chen Tianyu is also a woman known as "not close to men" in the entire Northern Lion Country. Chen Tianyu is all about protecting her family and defending the country, and she is completely loyal to Mu Zhijun, but she is a little more casual when she gets along with Mu Zhijun, and Mu Zhijun doesn't like that kind of restrained person, so Chen Tianyu's temperament is very good for Mu Zhijun.
Chen Tianyu pulled the lid of the wine, "Your Highness, do you dare to accompany the last general to finish drinking this pot of wine?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Mu Zhijun said, pulled out the lid of the wine, the two touched the wine jar, and drank a few sips. After drinking, Chen Tianyu sighed: "Happy! ”
While the two were drinking, a woman in plain clothes ran over in the distance. Mu Zhijun recognized it at a glance that it was Mu Zhaoluo.
Mu Zhijun quipped to Chen Tianyu: "Look, the real little princess is here." ”
"It's good to come, I've been fighting outside for many years, and I've collected a lot of small things, and I'll give them to the little princess when I bring them back."
Mu Zhijun frowned, and pretended to be displeased: "Tianyu, you are biased, why do you have hers and not mine?" ”
Chen Tianyu explained calmly: "Your Highness has grown up, not a child, and His Highness can't look down on these childish things. I, ah, can only use it to tease the little princess who hasn't grown up. ”
Mu Zhijun shook his head and sighed again and again: "Alas, I think that I am the king of the palace, but I have not yet been favored, and I will be sad in the future!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter. And Mu Zhaoluo also walked over, she smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Mu Zhijun beckoned to Mu Zhaoluo and said with a smile: "Zhaoluo, come on, General Chu has brought you something good." ”
Mu Zhaoluo walked over, and Mu Zhijun hugged her on his body, "There's no place, sit on me." ”
After Mu Zhao sat down on Mu Zhijun, Mu Zhijun laughed and said, "Oh, what have you been eating recently?" So heavy? ”
Mu Zhaoluo said unhappily: "Sister, what did you say?" ”
Mu Zhijun admitted his mistake and flattered: "Okay, little princess, I was wrong." We have grown taller, not fatter. ”
Mu Zhaoluo sighed lightly, "Sister, I'm not a child, can you stop fooling me as a child in the future?" ”
Mu Zhijun looked at Chen Tianyu, "Did you hear that?" General Chen, Zhaoluo is not a child, you won't be able to fool him in the future. ”
"Oh? Is it? Chen Tianyu took out two small and delicate big red boxes from his arms, "Zhaoluo, do you like the gift I brought you?" ”
Mu Zhaoluo got down from Mu Zhijun, walked in front of Chen Tianyu, and after taking the box, he couldn't wait to open it, and there were actually two jade bracelets inside, the jade bracelets were shining under the light of the bonfire, and the jade bracelets were touched to the touch, and they felt cold and cold.
Chen Tianyu explained: "This is a couple of jade bracelets, I heard that if you put this pair of jade bracelets on yourself and the person you like, you can be together for the rest of your life, and you will never be separated from old age." Your Highness, do you like it? ”
Mu Zhaoluo happily hugged Chen Tianyu and said childishly: "I like it so much." ”
Mu Zhijun sighed lightly, "Zhaoluo, you really don't give me any face, just praise you a few words, and your child's temperament will be guilty again." ”
Mu Zhaoluo ignored her, and after she put the bracelet in her arms, she reminded: "By the way, I came here to tell you, General Xue Yan of the Eastern Wilderness Country held a pot throwing competition over there, you must know that it is more difficult than pot throwing at night, so do you want to go and watch?" ”
"Your Highness speaks, I want to go." Chen Tianyu glanced at Mu Zhijun as he spoke, signaling if she would go or not, Mu Zhijun stood up and asked Yu Yaorong and the others, "Do you want to go together, or do you want to stay here?" ”
"I'll go with my wife!" Yu Yao said
Nangong Yiqing chuckled, "I won't go to watch it, I'm waiting for His Highness to come back." ”
Mu Zhijun looked at Qingfeng, Qingfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not going either!" ”
"Let's go!" Chen Tianyu said, and the four of them left.
Only Nangong Yiqing and Qingfeng were left sitting around the bonfire. After being silent for a while, Nangong Yiqing spoke, "How are you doing all these years?" As he spoke, his gaze kept looking at the jade bracelet on Qingfeng's wrist, which was illuminated by the fire, crystal clear, and glowing with white light.
Qingfeng smiled: "Very good! Since I entered King Jing's Mansion, King Jing has treated me very well, and I have become her concubine. The men of the Northern Lion Country have been like this all their lives, what is there not to be satisfied with? ”
Nangong Yiqing sighed lightly, and while roasting the steamed bun in his hand, he said, "I know that you came to King Jing's Mansion for a purpose. Although I don't know what your purpose is, if you dare to hurt His Royal Highness King Jing, even if we have a special relationship, I will still kill you. ”
Qingfeng sneered, "You love her?" ”
"Yes!" Nangong Yiqing admitted unabashedly
"But she has repeatedly tested you, doubted you, and even suspected you."
"It doesn't matter! Anyway, I don't deserve her now. Perhaps, my last value to her is to be a pawn in her hands, to sacrifice myself when she needs it most, and this is what I can do for her. Nangong Yiqing explained calmly
Qingfeng frowned, "Are you crazy?" She doesn't love you, you do so much for her, and in the end, you're just a pawn in her hands, is it worth it? ”
"You haven't really loved someone, so you don't understand. But when you truly fall in love with someone, you will find that you are really willing to sacrifice everything for her, even if she doesn't love herself, you will be willing. Although I know that she doesn't like herself and will be heartbroken, I am happy in everything I do for her. ”
Qing Feng sighed, "You're so stupid! ”
Nangong Yiqing smiled bitterly, "How can you bear to give up when you feel strong, and there is no complaint in the depths of your love." ”
On the other side of the prairie, in a corner, a grand bonfire burned. There were two rows of torches on the ground on either side of the campfire, and the torches were burning vigorously.
There were countless onlookers around this campfire, and it was crowded with people. The four of Mu Zhijun came, mixed among the people, and saw a man standing in front of the fireworks, and this person was the general of the Eastern Wilderness Country - Xue Yan!
I only heard Xue Yan say: "Everyone, I heard that the girl of the Northern Lion Country is strong and fierce, and she does things informally, today, the foreign minister has set up a bonfire feast here." Playing with pitchers at night is the most difficult to shoot, and the foreign minister placed three pots opposite the bonfire, and also took some gold, silver and jewelry as prizes, which was regarded as a long night and entertainment. I don't know, does anyone dare to come up and try it with the ministers? ”
Mu Zhijun listened and said to Chen Tianyu: "Have you seen it?" This kind of person, his heart can be punished! ”
Yu Yaorong listened in the clouds, but still listened to them quietly. But Mu Zhaoluo understood everything, but he didn't say a word.
Chen Tianyu chuckled, "Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" This is a strategy since ancient times, Your Highness, you must know that on the battlefield, this is not called a heart, this is called a means. ”
"Means? Tianyu, if you go up, how many games can you win? ”
Listening to Mu Zhijun's words, he knew that Mu Zhijun was going to send himself up and fight against Xue Yan until Xue Yan stopped playing. In this way, so as not to expose the strength of the people of the Northern Lion Country.
Before Chen Tianyu could answer, he only heard a voice coming, "Let me try." ”
Everyone looked at the voice, it was Chun Yu Hanshuang beside Mu Yue. Xue Yan saw Chun Yu Hanshuang and said with a smile: "Okay, this girl, then please!" ”
Chun Yu Frost casually took a black feather arrow in his hand. I saw Chun Yushuang smiling even more after glancing at the pot opposite the bonfire. She gestured twice, condensed her true qi in her hand, and then threw it casually, so an arrow was easily hit.
Everyone walked over to take a look, only to see that the arrow hit the mouth of the pot steadily, and everyone cheered loudly: "There is a beginning, ten chips!" ”
Xue Yan took a white feather arrow, he didn't make a gesture, just threw it casually, only to see the arrow spin on the spout of the pot into a leaning rod. Everyone looked over and shouted, "Wave pot, fourteen chips!" ”
Chun Yu Hanshuang picked up another arrow and threw it out directly, after the middle, everyone went over to take a look, only to see that the arrow was aimed at the pot thrower, and they cheered: "Amazing, directly the dragon's head, eighteen chips!" ”
Chun Yu Hanshuang walked over and said with a smile: "General, is it still comparable?" ”
Xue Yan saluted, "The girl has superb pitching skills, and she admits defeat in the next one." ”
Chun Yu Hanshuang asked, "General, can I go and pick a prize?" ”
Xue Yan nodded, "Of course you can, girl, please!" ”
Chun Yu Hanshuang glanced at the tray and found that there was only one treasure knife, which she could still see, so she took it down casually.
After the frost came down, Mu Zhijun glanced at Chen Tianyu, "Come on, give them a dismount, let them know that they know how powerful our general is." ”
Chen Tianyu stepped forward, "General Xue, I also want to try this pot throwing game." ”
Xue Yan turned around, and after seeing Chen Tianyu, he was shocked by his outfit, he was heroic and proud when he was dressed as a man, and when he was dressed as a woman, he was slim and beautiful.
After Xue Yan looked at her twice, he took his eyes off her. Xue Yan saluted, "Girl, please!" ”
Chen Tianyu saluted, "General Xue, I like to fight quickly, so I'll finish it all at once." ”
Chen Tianyu said, taking the remaining ten arrows in the arrow basket, five in one hand, only to see her leap and fly into the air, the arrows in her hand were instilled with true qi, and she threw them out directly, and the result was all hit.
Everyone walked to take a look, clapped their hands and said, "All the pot!" The general is mighty! ”
And Mu Zhaoluo on the side also began to applaud.
After Chen Tianyu landed, Xue Yan stepped forward and saluted, "Lang, the daughter of the Northern Lion Kingdom, is indeed as brave and good at fighting as rumored, and all of them are peerless masters who are hidden in the world. General, under the defeat of the next. ”
Chen Tianyu saluted, "General Xue is polite!" ”
After Chen Tianyu finished speaking, he was just about to leave, but was called out by Xue Yan: "General, your prize has not been selected yet!" ”
"I'm here for entertainment, and the prizes and stuff will be forgotten." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back. Xue Yan looked at Chen Tianyu's departing back, and the corners of his mouth smiled deeply.
When Mu Zhijun saw her come out, he laughed and said, "General Chen, it's worthy of you!" As soon as you make a shot, you will be in the whole pot. ”
"In fact, as long as he wants, he can make the whole pot!" Chen Tianyu explained.
"Two full pots, then you can compete again." Mu Zhaoluo said with a smile
"I don't want to compare, if I wasn't afraid of losing the face of my Northern Lion Country, and I wanted to boost the national prestige to the countrymen, I really didn't want to compare." Chen Tianyu replied casually
The four of them walked out of the crowd as they spoke, and on Xue Yan's side, everyone also dispersed.
Halfway down the road, Mu Zhijun stopped, "Tianyu, fourth sister, please send Yaorong, Qingfeng and Yiqing back to King Jing's Mansion." ”
"Wife, where are you going?" Yu Yaorong asked
"I have something to do, I'll be back home later."
Chen Tianyu replied briskly: "Okay, I know." ”
As the four spoke, they split into two ways and left.
Mu Zhao fell on Chen Tianyu's ear and whispered: "I don't think the fourth sister treats the four horses as ruthlessly as rumored!" ”
Chen Tianyu whispered in Mu Zhaoluo's ear: "Acting on the surface and suffering behind the scenes, who would know?" ”
Mu Zhaoluo nodded as if she didn't understand, and halfway through the road, she also stopped, "General, I came out with Ah Qian today, and he is still waiting for me over there, so they will ask you to send the four horses." ”
"Okay, then you can go!"
Mu Zhaoluo bowed to Yu Yaorong, "Then Zhaoluo will leave first." ”
Yu Yao bowed his head, "Your Highness, go slowly!" ”
Mu Zhaoluo turned around and left.
After Mu Zhijun left, she searched around in the crowd, she wanted to find Chun Yu Frost.
A voice came from behind him, "Is Your Highness looking for me?" ”
Mu Zhijun turned around and saw Chun Yu Frost. Mu Zhijun smiled: "Exactly! ”
Mu Zhijun and Chun Yu came to a sparsely populated place in the grassland, and the two talked while walking, only to hear Mu Zhijun say: "Thank you for the imperial examination that day." ”
"Don't worry about it!"
"I don't really understand, why are you helping me?"
Chun Yu Hanshuang explained: "It's not that I'm helping His Highness, but Your Majesty wants to help. ”
Mu Zhijun glanced at Chun Yu Frost and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Ahsan!"
Mu Zhijun nodded, and asked again, "What sect are you from?" Who is it? ”
"I have no sect and no faction, and I am from the Northern Lion Country." Chun Yu Frost replied freely
Mu Zhijun stopped, she looked at Chun Yushuang with murderous aura in her eyes, "How about a competition with me?" ”
Chun Yu Hanshuang knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to respond: "Respectful, it's better to obey!" ”
With that, the two began to test their fists and feet. The kung fu of the two is very similar, and every time they fight and rub, they can make the flowers and trees on the grassland be leveled in an instant. The storm on the grassland rose, blowing the clothes of the two, and under the moonlight, the murderous figures of the two were illuminated, and in an instant, the two began to fight again. For a while, the two were inseparable, and the explosions around them were also "bang-bang.......
Finally, in a flash of lightning, the two stopped.
Mu Zhijun stepped forward, frowned and asked, "What does Tianyan Pavilion have to do with you?" ”
This is also what Chun Yu Hanshuang wanted to ask Mu Zhijun, before, she fought with Mu Yue, knowing that she and her martial arts set came all the way, she was not surprised at all, because she knew that Mu Yue's master was Zichen. What about her, how could her martial arts path be the same as herself, could it be that Mu Yue taught her?
She quickly denied this idea in her heart, Mu Zhijun's martial arts were completely above Mu Yue, and even if Mu Yue taught her, he would not tell her Tianyan Pavilion.
Chun Yu Hanshuang knew Mu Zhijun's cleverness, so lying would definitely not be able to deceive Mu Zhijun, so she could only admit frankly. Perhaps, there is a relationship between them, and frankly admitting it can not only explain clearly, but also avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Chun Yu Hanshuang bowed, "I can tell the truth to His Highness, but will His Highness trust me and tell me the truth?" ”
Mu Zhijun thought for a while before he said, "Okay, you say!" ”
"The family teacher is Leng Lanyan."
Mu Zhijun chuckled, "It turns out that your master is actually my uncle!" ”
"What?" Chun Yu Frost seemed to hear some terrible news and was shocked
"You have nothing to be surprised about, the family teacher is Yunzhou! If this is calculated, in terms of seniority, I really have to call you Senior Sister. ”
Chun Yu Frost saluted, "Your Highness is polite." ”
The two were bathed in the moonlight and began to talk while walking again.
"Senior sister, what is the purpose of your coming to the Northern Lion Country?"
"It's inconvenient to inform."
Mu Zhijun sighed and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it." Mu Zhijun coldly warned: "Ah San, I don't care what you want to do when you come to the Northern Lion Country, but if you dare to do anything to hurt Your Majesty, hurt the people of the Northern Lion Country, shake the foundation of the country, or want to overthrow the Northern Lion Country, then don't blame me for not thinking the righteousness of the same family and chasing and killing you." ”
"Don't worry, it won't!" Chun Yu Frost replied casually
Don't worry, not yet!
After Mu Zhijun heard the satisfactory answer, he smiled again. But she was still very guarded in her heart.
