Gao Ziang, who was in the Qin Palace, followed his father's instructions, did not compete with the princes, and behaved very well in front of Li Shimin. In Suri, it is indispensable to practice archery on horseback with the princes.

In the process of practicing, King Qin found that the boy's archery skills were very accurate. He showed great stability when holding the bow with both hands, and did not shake at all. The process of taking the arrow is not sluggish, clean and neat, aiming, so that the force of the arrow off the string is just right, and the final arrow hits the bull's-eye, which is really stable, accurate and ruthless. This series of performances attracted Li Shimin's attention.

The state of archery is far better than that of the princes, and it is rare for him to perform so well at such a young and playful age. Li Shimin saw that the children's level was uneven, and planned a competition to test their level.

The children are young, and the distance of the race is only 10 meters. But despite this, there are still people who can't shoot accurately, and Gao Ziang hits the bull's-eye, and his movements are skillful and accurate.

Withdrawing the target back ten meters, the prince was gradually defeated, and Gao Ziang was still able to hit the bull's-eye. This made Li Shimin can't help but order: "Retreat ten meters back." "There were only two or three kids left to play, and the others either missed or didn't have enough strength to even shoot the target. And Gao Ziang's bow was held steadily, and the arrow flew out with a "whoosh", and it could still hit the bull's-eye.

Li Shimin couldn't help but order: "Retreat ten meters back." ”

Everyone else was defeated, and there was no one to contend with. Gao Ziang took out an arrow from the quiver, he was still calm and calm, took the arrow, and drew the bow. This time, I didn't hit the bull's-eye, but I did hit the target. There is no missing arrow, and it is not easy at a young age.

Li Shimin looked at Gao Ziang, who was only nine years old, and seemed to see himself in him, and he was also as diligent in martial arts as he was when he was a child.

The king of Qin ordered his subordinates to call the boy Ang closer. Gao Ziang approached slowly, and Li Shimin couldn't wait to greet him: "Little master, come here." ”

Gao Ziang obediently walked up to Li Shimin and arched his hand: "Your Highness, you command." ”

Li Shimin stroked Gao Ziang's head and praised in amazement: "At a young age, the archery is so accurate, it is really a good seedling." Or your father taught it well. ”

Li Shimin looked at him with a smile, and recalled that he had taken Gao Ziang to fight when he was a child: "When the little young master was very young, this king also took you to the battlefield." ”

"Your Royal Highness King Qin, your memory is really good. At that time, my father asked Uncle Li to take me with him so that his child could go to the battlefield to experience it. Back then, I really saw your combat strategy with His Royal Highness King Qin, and your wisdom and martial arts at that time are still fresh in my memory, and I have learned a lot from Your Highness. ”

"You know how to learn at such a young age, little master, you have a future." Li Shimin couldn't help but praise again: "You shot the arrow very well today, what reward do you want?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I don't want a reward, I can come to the palace to learn horseback archery with the princes, and get your advice, which is already a great kindness. How can you covet rewards any more? ”

"Why don't you call your father and mother to come to the house?"

The kid's heart blossomed, he hadn't seen his mother since he came to King Qin's mansion, but his father explained that he wanted to be sensible and not to displease King Qin, so he only said lightly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qin." ”

Gao Junming and his wife were invited to the Qin Palace, and as soon as the boy saw Xie Xiwen, he quickly threw himself into her arms, after all, he was still a child. In addition to Gao Junming and his wife, the Qin Wangfu also hosted other guests. It's going to be a big day today.

At the feast, "It's boring to drink dry wine, so it's better to ask the son to dance the sword to help the wine." Li Shimin proposed.

Gao Junming said worriedly: "How can you dance a knife and a gun in front of His Royal Highness King Qin?" ”

"Hey, it's just a child, it's okay." Li Shimin decisively ordered people, "Give the sword!" ”

Immediately, someone came over with a long sword, and Gao Ziang took the sword and motioned to King Qin to start. Li Shimin nodded, and after getting permission, the boy Ang danced. The sword is flexible and free in his hand, sometimes like flowing water, sometimes like a swimming dragon shuttling, walking all four suddenly like lightning, and sometimes the sword is like a shock.

After dancing the sword, Gao Ziang quickly retracted his sword momentum in order to avoid disrespecting the King of Qin, and then heard a burst of applause, Li Shimin praised him, and others also followed Li Shimin's rhythm and praised him with all his might.

Gao Junming said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has praised it. The dog dance sword is just a showcase, where can he understand the essence of swordsmanship. ”

"It's just a child, and there's still a long way to go."

Li Shimin asked Xiao Ziang: "Does Xiao Gongzi like swords?" ”

"Hmm." Gao Zi replied happily.

"Well, this sword will be given to the little boy."

King Qin's gift of the sword is really a great kindness, Gao Junming almost ordered and whispered: "Why don't you hurry up and thank you?" ”

Gao Ziang immediately knelt down: "His Royal Highness King Xie Qin gives him a sword." ”

"Little boy, get up." Li Shimin said leisurely. Gao Ziang, who returned to his seat, put down his sword smoothly, his hands naturally fell on his knees, and he sat upright.

After the banquet, they went home. The performance of the boy Ang in the Qin Palace, inadvertently reached Li Jiancheng's ears, he also went in the left ear and out of the right ear, he really didn't take it seriously, he didn't have any doubts about this phenomenon, he just regarded it as a courtier's child into the palace to play.

Wanning, who hadn't seen Ziang's brother for many days, clamored to play with her brother. It's no wonder that my brother disappeared suddenly, from childhood to adulthood, how could children be separated so easily? Later, I heard my father say that he lived in the Qin Palace. She asked her father to take her to the Qin Palace, where she saw Gao Ziang.

Li Zhenghang knew that he couldn't go, and even Gao Junming couldn't go to the palace at will. He called two guards who didn't show up often to escort Wanning to the Qin Palace. Wan Ning knew that she couldn't enter the palace like this, and when she walked halfway, by the way, she went to find her aunt, and she was about to change her route.

One of the guards said, "Miss, Madame Gao was just invited to the palace the day before yesterday as a guest, I'm afraid she can't accompany you at this time." ”

"yes." Wan Ning thought about it, and turned back with the guards, so she had to go to the Qin Palace. Even if I see my brother outside, I am very content.

After arriving at the palace, he just asked someone to go in and report it, and asked Gao Ziang to come out and see him. The disciple of the Qin Wangfu saw that Wanning was probably also a wealthy daughter, and he didn't refuse it, but he was also lazy. Wan Ning waited outside King Qin's mansion for a long time before she saw Gao Ziang come out, and she immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Brother." ”

"Wan Ning! What are you doing here? ”

"I'm here to see you! You haven't had time to go to the Li Mansion recently, and it's been a while since you went back to the Gao Mansion, and I can't even see you. ”

Gao Ziang grabbed Wan Ning's little hand and said, "King Qin is too busy today, I don't have to stay in the palace, I can play with my sister,"

"Really!" Wan Ning almost jumped up with joy.

"Let's go to Hidden Fog Mountain, I haven't been to Mr. for a long time."

"Hmm."

Gao Ziang and Wan Ning, accompanied by the guards, came to the Hidden Fog Mountain.

Gao Ziang is a child after all, and he is still satisfied with King Qin's praise for him, Li Shimin not only praises his archery skills, but also praises him for his sword dancing, so he can't help but perform in front of Zhiyang, and the sword he dances is still given by Li Shimin.

"Everyone praised my brother's swordsmanship." Wan Ning, who couldn't take his eyes off Gao Ziang's sword, said. But while Zhiyang admired his sword dance, his face showed some worry.

"He was born rich and appreciated by the King of Qin, many people don't tell the truth, and it's too late to flatter. His swordsmanship is gorgeous, but it's actually more of a showmanship. He is so young that his foundation will be vain. Zhiyang said unceremoniously.

Wan Ning was a little disappointed, but she knew that Zhiyang was for her brother's good, so she said in a harmonious voice: "What the master said is that I will tell my brother." "Every time Wan Ning and Xiao Ziang come to Zhiyang, they will have a harvest. Wan Ning understands that the master is really good at work, teaching the two children wholeheartedly.

Gao Ziang, who had happily played with Wanning's sister for a while, could only obediently return to King Qin's mansion, although King Qin did not blame, he still felt that he had to be more disciplined in the palace and could not make King Qin angry.
