Chapter 120: Shen Lie
Looking forward to it day and night, there are still three days left on the day of spring hunting.
Murong Xi temporarily hugged his feet and stayed in the courtyard of the palace all day long, forcing Rusty and Egret to teach him to ride and shoot.
As everyone knows, in the capital, because of the arrival of a person, the people greeted each other and surrounded the city gate.
Beyond the city gate, at the front of the mighty army, a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in armor, stood as tall as a pine, and his momentum was strong and majestic.
The cold and hard face lines are angular, and under the sword eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes are glowing with gloomy coldness.
The treasure horse under the crotch raised his head in high spirits, fluttered a few times with his front feet, slowed down, and slowly walked into the city gate.
The cheers of the people were endless.
"General Shen is a big hero."
"General Shen is invincible!"
"Congratulations to General Shen on his triumphant return!"
At the front of the crowd was Jiang Huaiyin's proud figure.
Behind him, on either side, stood Li Xiang and Shen Guogong respectively.
The rest of the officials were at the bottom of the line.
The corners of Shen Guogong's lips rose unconsciously, and his three sons were quite competitive, and the eldest of them was outstanding.
Some time ago, the entire Guogong Mansion was disturbed by Shen Hede, and Shen Guogong also stopped in the court for some days.
Now that the eldest son has returned triumphantly, he has finally raised his eyebrows.
With the blessing of Shen Lie's meritorious deeds, I believe that the queen will step out of Changchun Palace and be just around the corner.
Thinking like this, Shen Guogong unconsciously glanced at Jiang Huaiyin.
Jiang Huaiyin's expression remained unmoved, always with a faint feminine smile, and he was still holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
The half-drooping eyes didn't know whether to look at the ground or the air, in short, the attitude was very disdainful.
Shen Guogong's face trembled, see how long you can calm down!
After thinking about it, Shen Lie turned over and dismounted, and had already walked in front of the hundred officials.
The cold eyes collided with Jiang Huaiyin's line of sight in mid-air, and the sparks that sparked invisibly were only understood by a few people.
Li Xiang remained silent and waited to see what happened.
Shen Guogong stepped forward to greet Shen Lie, "My son is brave and triumphant, it is really the luck of the Shen family and the blessing of the great dry!" β
"Uh-yes." Jiang Huaiyin snorted casually, and followed Shen Guogong's words: "In the battle of Yumen Pass, Your Majesty praised General Shen. β
"Shen Lie of the Shen family, see His Royal Highness the Regent." Shen Lie has a strong temperament and a blunt tone, which is a symbol of a soldier in the eyes of outsiders.
Jiang Huaiyin heard a faint hostility.
He raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "The general has worked hard all the way, go back to the house first to rest and then enter the palace?" β
"The last general did not return to the capital in October, and he should enter the palace to report to His Majesty." Shen Lie was respectful but not humble, holding his fists.
"Soβvery good." Jiang Huaiyin's smile deepened.
-
All roads lead to the palace, and Shen Lie also led thousands of soldiers, so there was no need for Jiang Huaiyin to send them to the palace in person.
Seeing Shen Lie and his entourage disappear in front of him, Jiang Huaiyin's eyes gradually sank.
He turned his head and said to Yelan, "Go home." β
"Yes."
Before getting into the carriage, Jiang Huaiyin seemed to think of something again, and lowered his voice and said to Ye Lan: "Let the Night Blade protect the princess in secret." β
Ye Lan's eyes lifted, and she instantly pressed down again, "Yes." β
After returning home, Jiang Huaiyin went straight to Haitang Residence.
Murong Xi concentrated on practicing riding and archery, but did not see Jiang Huaiyin's figure.
She drew the longbow in her hand and aimed it at the bull's-eye for a quarter of an hour, and her fingers hurt so much that she couldn't stand it anymore before she released an arrow.
Not surprisingly, not even the edge of the target was touched.
Murong Xi sighed and threw the bow away, "Don't practice, what's the matter!" β
"The posture is unstable, and no matter how strong the hand is, it won't help." Jiang Huaiyin's voice fluttered, Murong Xi turned his head sharply, and subconsciously defended himself, "It's my first time shooting an arrow, Rusty said that if I can pull the bow, I will already defeat countless people in the world!" β
Jiang Huaiyin shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, walked slowly in front of Murong Xi, and picked up the longbow, "This bow is not of the highest quality, and it is not suitable for women to use." β
"Yelan, go to the Dawn Pavilion to get the King's Silver Feather Bow."
Yelan didn't hesitate, and immediately went back to the Dawn Pavilion to get a bow and arrow.
The suspicion in my heart became clearer and clearer.
Murong Xi also saw Jiang Huaiyin's abnormality, and took a step back to look Jiang Huaiyin up and down, "The prince wants to reward me with a bow?" Is there something you want me to do? β
"Yes." Jiang Huaiyin said calmly: "The princess must learn to ride and shoot as soon as possible, the spring hunt is imminent, one more means, and one more safety." β
Jiang Huaiyin saw Murong Xi's "frightened" expression, and continued to explain: "Don't think about it, the residual poison of this king has not been cleared, if the princess doesn't want to practice arrows, she can also leave some more antidote prescriptions." β
Murong Xi was relieved, and it was expected that he, Jiang Huaiyin, would not care about her without knowing how to care about her.
"It's strange to say, it's going to be three months, and I think the poison in the prince's body has almost been resolved, why is the mole on his face still dark?"
Murong Xi relaxed, approached Jiang Huaiyin, and stood on tiptoe to look at his nose carefully.
Jiaorong is getting closer and closer, and Jiang Huaiyin has an indescribable throbbing in his heart.
He let Murong Xi dangle in front of his eyes, "Xu Yes, the princess didn't do her best to detoxify, right?"
"Impossible!" Murong Xi expressed dissatisfaction with Jiang Huaiyin's questioning, "The prince is the first one who can let me carefully manage a patient for so long." How can it not be careless? β
She has always been very serious about matters related to her life.
Jiang Huaiyin said slowly: "That is, this king is too deeply poisoned, and it will take some time." The king is not in a hurry. β
Murong Xi looked at Jiang Huaiyin suspiciously, but Jiang Huaiyin looked away and avoided her scrutiny.
At this time, Yelan took the bow and came back, Jiang Huaiyin took the longbow and played with it in his hand, "The silver feather bow is the first weapon that my father gave to this king. This bow is lightweight and more suitable for you. β
Jiang Huaiyin's fingertips gently plucked the bowstring, making a buzzing sound.
Then he stretched out his hand and said to Murong Xi, "Come here." β
Murong Xi: "? β
She was already standing in front of him, where else was she going?
Jiang Huaiyin's eyes deepened, "Come here!" This king himself will teach you! β
"Oh!" Murong Xi realized it later, and stood in Jiang Huaiyin's arms somewhat reluctantly, leaning her back against his chest, raising her hand and grabbing the bow.
The distance was shortened, Jiang Huaiyin lowered his eyes and could see the tips of her light pink ears, her throat was suddenly a little dry, and even his voice was a little hoarse.
"Shen Lie has returned to Beijing today, do you want to think about the spring hunt again?"
After saying that, Jiang Huaiyin held her left hand with her left hand, held her right hand with her right hand, and pulled the bowstring full, raised it, and pointed the tip of the arrow straight at the bullseye in front of her.
The touch was clearly cold as frost, but Murong Xi felt a wave of heat surging in her body.
She shook her head writhingly, trying to calm the violent heartbeat, her eyes dark, "No need. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and if he dares to target me, I will let him open his eyes! β
Since she dared to send Shen Hede a boxed lunch, she was not afraid of the follow-up revenge of the Shen family!
The corners of Jiang Huaiyin's lips hooked up an arc of unknown meaning, "Okay." β
As soon as the words fell, his fingers flicked, and the cold arrow left the string.
Under Murong Xi's stunned gaze, he steadily hit the bull's-eye.
