"The moon is dark and the wind is high in the midnight sky, the sword light and sword shadow are bloody, it seems that this grass house is going to be stained with blood tonight!" Mu Qingyun gently picked up a piece of grass with chopsticks and slowly stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as his words fell, one of the servants standing beside him shook involuntarily, and a very bad feeling came over him.

"This place is the resting place of the princess, how can you let the sound of the sword roar disturb the purity of the mother." Ye Ban'er bent down and walked out of the grass house slowly, and then walked in the direction of the stable.

When he came to a warhorse, he reached out and took a longbow from the saddle, and then drew a feathered arrow from the quiver.

Because the sky outside the stable was a little dark, Ye Ban'er took out the feather arrow and rubbed it on the arrow with his hand.

When he was sure that there was a circular hole in the middle of the arrow, he placed the arrow on the longbow.

Then he pointed his arrow diagonally towards the sky, and then he rested his right hand on the bowstring and began to slowly exert his power.

Although he looks like an old man in his old age now, even the skin on his arms is wrinkled and dark like dead tree bark, and even densely covered with age spots.

But when he began to exert his strength, the longbow, which was half a man high, was slowly pulled into a full bow by him. When the longbow's string is pulled to the extreme, the entire longbow begins to make a subtle crunching sound.

Seeing that the longbow was about to be broken by Ye Ban'er, he suddenly let go of the bowstring in his hand.

With a "buzz", the bowstring immediately rebounded, and the huge force directly flicked the feather arrow into the sky.

As the feather arrow flew into the sky, the arrow of the feather arrow suddenly emitted an orange-red fire. The arrow made a long arc across the sky like a meteor.

As the fire ignited, the feathered arrows began to make a sharp sound, like a goshawk chirping.

This is a special kind of arrow of the Dayu Dynasty: the fire whistle arrow. This kind of arrow is not a normal arrow, it uses flint as an arrowhead, and a hole is cut in the arrow, and some flammable materials such as sulfur charcoal are sealed in the hole.

When the arrows are fired, these flammable materials will hit the flint under the action of the wind, creating sparks that ignite the flammable materials.

When the flame ignites, the flammable material in the hole will quickly burn and scatter, and the wind around the arrow will pass through the hole and make a sound.

Due to the relatively complex and expensive production process of these arrows, they were rarely seen on the battlefields of the Dayu Dynasty.

But Mu Qingyun, as the prince of Huainan, still has a way to get this kind of feather arrow. Mu Qingyun, who was sitting in the grass house, looked at the fire whistle arrows flying in the sky through the door and window, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

At this moment, the servant, who was a little nervous just now, realized that he seemed to be exposed.

So he didn't think about it anymore, only to see that he suddenly pulled out a soft sword from his waist and slashed at Mu Qingyun's head.

His action frightened the minions around him into screaming, and they scattered to get out of the way.

The other servants didn't expect the man standing beside them to suddenly pull out a long sword from his waist.

At the same time, they didn't expect that this guy would dare to assassinate his own son so boldly. And Mu Qingyun squinted at the sight of this guy holding a long sword and slashing at him, but he didn't panic at all, and they didn't even make any resistance movements.

Even in this critical situation, he was still holding his chopsticks to pick up the dishes on the plate. As the soft sword slashed towards Mu Qingyun with a sword roar, the servant's face finally brought a bit of excitement and excitement to his face.

Just as the software was two or three feet away from Mu Qingyun's head, a feathered arrow suddenly shot in from outside the door. The arrow flew over Mu Qingyun's head with the sound of breaking the sky.

The wind brought by the feather arrow even blew Mu Qingyun's hair out of the air. And the servant who swung his sword and slashed at Mu Qingyun was as if he had been hit by something at this time, and the whole person fell diagonally towards Mu Qingyun's side.

With a bang, the servant fell to the ground with his sword. The minions, who had not yet realized what was happening, looked at their sword-wielding right hand uncertainly.

When he looked at it, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then he realized that he actually had a feather arrow nailed to his right hand.

The triangular feather arrow had completely pierced his palm at this time, and the arrow was unabated, and it even pierced the hilt of the soft sword in his hand.

At this moment, the feather arrow pinned his right hand and the soft sword together. Looking at the blood dripping from the purple-red arrows, the servant felt the pain of his heart coming from the palm of his hand.

"Ahh It hurts me! The servant could not help but start screaming. In this regard, the other servants turned around to observe what had just happened, but Mu Qingyun didn't care at all, he was still eating by himself.

"Ye Ban'er, you just said that this is my mother's sleeping place, and there should be no sword light and sword shadow, but Xiao Dezi is just disobedient, he openly drew his sword in the grass house." Seeing Ye Ban'er walking into the grass house tremblingly with a longbow, Mu Qingyun slowly spoke.

It's just that he never looked sideways at the little Dezi who fell to the ground and wailed with his right hand.

"This kid is really not worrying." Ye Ban'er handed the longbow in his hand to a servant girl who was standing on the side, trembling like chaff, and then continued to tremble and walked to the servant named Xiao Dezi.

At this time, Xiao Dezi, who was lying on the ground and wailing, looked at Ye Ban'er, who seemed to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind on weekdays, but it was as if he had seen a ghost.

He knew that the arrow just now was shot by the old servant in front of him, who seemed to be in his last years. At this time, a name had already appeared in his mind: Ye Qiutong.

This is a name that is famous in the Huainan Kingdom and even in the northern border of the Dayu Dynasty. And the reason why this name is so famous is entirely because of Ye Qiutong's great military exploits left in the northern border fortress back then.

Among these exploits were both those of the Dayu Dynasty and the grassland tribes. Originally, this Ye Qiutong was not called this name, his real name was Borshusu, and he was a member of the Wei family among the eight tribes of the grassland.

And he was also a condor archer in the Wei Chamber, and his archery skills were superb, and he was the first class in the Wei Chamber at that time.

At that time, Borshu was also young and vigorous because of his archery skills, so he offended the noble children of the Wei room.

This also laid the groundwork for his later tragedy. Just when Borshusu's fame on the grassland was growing, he participated in the grassland tribe's fight against the Dayu Dynasty.

At that time, with his superb archery skills and strong psychology, he exerted his might on the battlefield and shot several generals of the Dayu Dynasty.

For this reason, the Dayu Dynasty had to send an archery master on its side to propose to fight with him, hoping to get rid of this scourge.

But what the Dayu Dynasty didn't expect was that Bor's archery skills were too superb, so the more than a dozen archers sent by the Dayu Dynasty were all shot to death by him one by one.

Faced with such a situation, the Great Yu Dynasty couldn't think of any good way to restrain him for a while. I knew that later, a eunuch on the side of the Dayu defenders proposed: The decisive victory does not have to be in the battle, but also outside the battle.

Then the general of the defending army at that time ordered that the night should not be closed, and the night pretended to raid the camp of the steppe tribe, and after the ensuing battle, the night did not collect and deliberately left a few corpses.

When the steppe tribes then cleaned up the battlefield, they found several letters on the corpses. One of them was addressed to Borshusu's father, who at the time was also a general in the Wei Chamber.

And this letter is not special on the surface, it is just a personal letter written by a general of the Dayu Dynasty to Borshusu's father.

In this letter, the general said that his sister had been abducted by the steppe tribe more than ten years ago, and that he had not been heard from since.

But after so many years of searching, he found out that his sister was most likely the wife of Borshusu's father, that is, Borshusu's mother.

This news exploded like a thunderbolt in the upper echelons of the Wei Chamber. You must know that there was a clear rule in the grassland tribe at that time, but no man in the grassland tribe could marry a Dayu woman as his wife, and if a child born to a Dayu woman was equivalent to a slave, he was not allowed to inherit his father's property.

And Borshusu's father has always had only one woman, that is, Borshusu's mother.

Confronted by the high-ranking members of the Wei family, Borshusu's father finally admitted that his wife was a Dayu woman.

And he forged his identity in order to marry this Dayu woman. In the face of such a crime, the high-level Wei room directly arrested him, and they also arrested Borshusu's mother.

But Borshusu's mother was also a strong woman, and she decided to kill herself in order not to involve her husband and children, and she did not want to be humiliated.

And after seeing his wife kill herself in front of him, Borshusu's father finally couldn't accept it, didn't come up in one breath, and died of grief and anger.

In this instant, Borshusu lost both of his parents, but no one from the Wei tribe sympathized with him.

Not only did they imprison Borshusu, but they even subjected him to all kinds of abuses and insults. He was then incorporated into a slave camp by the Wesr tribe and put on the front lines of the battlefield.

But even though the battle was very fierce at that time, Borshusu still did not die, he was only injured and captured by the Dayu Border Army.

After being captured, Borshusu seemed to have lost his soul and lost his original sharpness. At that time, the Dayu Border Cypriot army did not recognize Borshusu, they all thought that he was just an ordinary slave.

Eventually, like most of the captured steppe tribes, he was forcibly castrated by the Dayu Border Cypriot Army and sent to the Dayu Dynasty to work as coolies.

However, because the castration was not sterilized at that time, Bolshusu fell completely ill due to infection in the middle of the road.

At that time, because the border army was unwilling to waste a good time on herbal medicine, they directly threw Borshusu in the wilderness.

But luckily, Boer Shusu met the most important woman in his life: Xu Qinglian. This Xu Qinglian is also a lady, she is kind and gentle and has outstanding appearance.

Xu Qinglian couldn't bear to see Borshusu dying when she saw him, so she took him back and cured him.

Later, when Xu Qinglian asked about Borshusu's identity, Borshusu did not hide it and told her his identity and what happened to her.

Faced with Borshusu's tragic experience, Xu Qinglian couldn't help but sigh. So at Xu Qinglian's suggestion, Borshusu stayed by her side, and Xu Qinglian also changed his name to Ye Qiutong.

The reason why Xu Qinglian gave him this name is because Xu Qinglian found him in a pile of deciduous and withered grass at that time, and his eyes were yellow unlike those of Dayuren.

After that, Borshusu, also known as Ye Qiutong, became Xu Qinglian's personal servant. In this way, he accompanied Xu Qinglian all the way to marry into the Huainan Palace, became pregnant and gave birth to Mu Qingyun, and later died violently after giving birth to Mu Qingxiao.

And he went to the northern border with the Huainan army more than once in the Huainan Kingdom over the years to resist the attack of the grassland tribes.

During this period, he used his superb archery skills to kill many famous condor archers on the grassland. This also made him a legendary presence in the Dayu Border Army.

However, as he got older and his physical strength gradually declined after his physical disability, he slowly reduced the number of trips to Biansai.

However, although he has not been to Biansai for the last seven or eight years, his legend still circulates in Biansai.

And in the Huainan Kingdom, his prestige is also well known to everyone. It's just that although the people of Huainan Kingdom know that there is such a peerless archery master in the country, no one knows what Ye Qiutong looks like, and no one knows what his identity background is.

"You turned out to be Ye Qiutong!" Xiao Dezi had forgotten the sharp pain in his palm at this time, and he looked at the old man in front of him with incredulous eyes.

"That's right, it's really an old man, I really didn't expect that anyone would remember me at such an age." Ye Qiutong slowly walked in front of Xiao Dezi, grabbed the shaft of the feather arrow that shot Xiao Dezi, and then broke the shaft of the arrow with a slight break.

Just a slight movement made Xiao Dezi grin in pain.

"Bite it!" Then he stuffed the broken shaft of the arrow into Xiao Dezi's mouth. Before Xiao Dezi could react, he saw Ye Qiutong take out a glove from his cuff and put it on his hand.

Then he grabbed the shoulder of the feather arrow with his hand, and with a sharp force, he only heard

"Poof" There was a feather arrow more than half a foot long, and he was pulled out of Xiao Dezi's hand. Faced with Ye Qiutong's sudden move, Xiao Dezi felt the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow before he could ask.

The pain caused him to bite the shaft of the arrow in his mouth at once, and the splintering sawdust punctured his tongue and gums.

Suddenly, his mouth was full of bright red.

"Well, if you can't bear the pain, you can howl, it will relieve the pain a little! Of course, if you want to howl, go outside and howl, and don't disturb Your Highness. Ye Qiutong threw half of the feather arrow in his hand outside the door, and then he took off his gloves and wiped it clean with a handkerchief and stuffed it back into his cuffs.

It seems that he cherishes this iron ring glove very much.
