Chapter 228
A small waterfall poured out from the leaves above the head, splashing and gently pouring into a small lake, where the originally dense woods automatically gave way to a world above the lake, and the gentle warm sun slowly sprinkled down, causing a little golden light on the surface of the water---
Water! He saw Thunderbolt leaping in the water.
He shouted, ran straight to the pool, pulled the belt of his clothes, completely unloaded the whole body clothes in three or two strokes, threw it casually, covered the big stone by the pool, he stepped a little, and dived into the water in a beautiful posture, with the submerged body, the pool surface stirred up a ripple, and returned to calm without waves.
After a while, Qingyuan came out again, paddled his slender hands and feet, began to swim in the water, swam for a while, and dived down again, the clear pool surface is like a green and flawless flat mirror, and the small stones at the bottom of the pool are clearly visible.
He is well versed in water, like nectar after a long drought, excitedly shuttling in the lake, his lean physique without a trace of fat, shining golden in the sun. His hand and every move are combined with strength and beauty, like a dragon diving, like a spirit fish churning, and wandering in this fairyland-like water.
It wasn't until the heat of playing was exhausted that Qingyuan was satisfied with the rise from the water, and the chic flick of the hair bundle that was attached to the back of the neck due to the loose bun. The right foot had just stepped on the shore, and a pair of black eyes greeted him, as clear as a piece of black jade, cold, cool, and cool on this hot day.
The handsome man who came out of the woods didn't seem to expect someone to be here, and he was slightly stunned, and his hand holding the reins of the mount was subconsciously tightened. The white foal felt his master's unusual reaction and hissed uneasily.
Qingyuan was also stunned, realizing that there was not a trace of it on his body, and his feet on the shore were quickly retracted, sinking into the water, and the lake water overflowed to his waist.
This scene seemed a little awkward, although Qingyuan muttered in his heart, he still had a smile comparable to sunshine on his face, and opened his mouth to ease the deadlock.
"This brother is also here to rest in the cold?" The air leak is as light as if you were chatting with a friend.
The man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his gaze circled around Qingyuan's body, and finally stopped on his face.
"I didn't know anyone would find out about it, it's abrupt." Although the man's words were polite, his tone was cold, which made Qingyuan doubt the sincerity in it.
This man is quite handsome, Qingyuan secretly looked at it, and cheered in his heart. The so-called 'boy and girl' is just a little more delicate than ordinary men, adding a touch of gorgeousness, and what is rare is that the person in front of him is not only that, but also has a little more heroism and connotation, and the natural cold temperament on his body is even more daring to look at.
However, if you have seen his second brother Qingyan come to the appearance with a straight face, the man who met for the first time in front of him can be regarded as amiable. Qingyuan smiled, and did not think of his indifference.
"The mounts below are under-trained and rushing, but it's also because of Heyang that they have a chance to discover here." Qingyuan took the opportunity to slash the thunderbolt again. Ignoring Thunderbolt's furious gaze, he continued to make small talk with the man. "Sounds like --- Brother Tai often comes here?"
"This is the border of Lily of the Valley." The man didn't pay attention to Qingyuan's question, let go of the reins in his hand, the well-trained white horse stood quietly aside, and the man walked to the poolside and looked at Qingyuan on one knee, "You trespassed on the royal land, do you know?" ”
Qingyuan's heart sank, why did he get into this kind of trouble just after stepping into the Lily of the Valley Kingdom? Thoughts raced, hey! Isn't the accomplice just around the corner? It seems that the handsome man in front of him is still a frequent visitor, his first offender is much better than his repeat offender, and the thief still wants to shout to catch the thief?
"I don't know---" Qingyuan shrugged fearlessly. "What about you? Do you know it's still coming? ”
The man got up and took a few steps back, his cold eyes seemed to have another meaning, and with an unfathomable expression on his face, he did not answer.
Qingyuan touched the nail, but he just laughed indifferently, and wanted to call Xunlei to bring him clothes and pants, but found that Xunlei had retreated to more than ten zhang away, chewing grass, and looking at him with a vengeful smile. I don't want to know if I look at this situation. Even if he screams in his throat, don't expect it to come to his aid.
It's all to blame for being too indulgent to Thunderbolt, look at how he fixes it at night! Qingyuan snorted lightly, and saw that the man in front of him had no intention of evading, so he had to point in the direction of the big stone and ask for help: "This brother, can you please help me hand over the clothes on the big stone?" Everyone is of the same sex, but it's always rude to walk around naked in front of my brother. ”
"If you really have to take care of the etiquette, you won't jump into the lake naked in the first place." The man understated a few words, and the words pierced the point.
Qingyuan rolled his eyes, and he didn't believe that he was still wearing clothes when he went into the water. He sighed helplessly, who told himself to succumb to the state of asking for others now! The nature of being accustomed to banter reached the throat and was suppressed.
The man went to the stone and picked up his trousers, but the thing that was tied to the belt of his trousers suddenly fell off and fell into the grass, shining in the sunlight. The man bent down to pick it up, and on the palm of his hand was a piece of dark black and warm jade, with milky white natural stone patterns on it, and the word 'far' like a small seal.
"You are Qingyuan, the third prince of Yunxiu Kingdom?" The man's suddenly shining gaze was fixed on Qingyuan's body, and he looked up and down with an attitude of re-examination.
This piece of jade is one of the many gifts presented by the lord of the Lily of the Valley Kingdom when he visited Yunxiu Kingdom. This piece of jade is not valuable, but the natural stone pattern on it seems to have been specially born for Qingyuan. That was when the word soldier and horse were reviewed, Qingyuan was rewarded by his father for his excellent results in domination, martial arts, and strategy.
The man in front of him was not simple, and he could actually deduce his identity from a piece of jade. Qingyuan's originally casual expression flashed a trace of surprise, for the identity and status of the third prince, he neither concealed nor publicized, but it was a little surprising that he was suddenly recognized, after all, there were too few people who knew the origin of this piece of jade.
"Can you hand me your pants first?" Qingyuan smiled and stretched out his hand to him, not giving a positive reply. "If you want me to admit my identity, I'm not in a hurry! At least let me get dressed up. ”
The man pursed his thin lips and seemed to rise slightly, his wrist shook slightly, and the clothes immediately flew away smoothly towards Qingyuan, and at the same time he turned around and turned his back. Qingyuan jumped up and took it, flipped in the air and stepped ashore, quickly dressing everything neatly.
"May I ask my brother Tai---" Qingyuan asked tentatively, and before he could finish speaking, he let the other party interrupt.
"Jin Ran of the Lily of the Valley." Jin Ran turned around and slammed his fist at him.
"Jin Ran, the crown prince of the Lily of the Valley Kingdom?" Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the well-known Prince Lily of the Valley to be so thin. "The legendary figure who wiped out all the bandits that haunted the Lily of the Valley and Xiong Chu without spending a single soldier, is you?" He still remembered how sensational this incident was, and even when he was wandering in the deep mountains and forests, he heard the hunters who entered the mountains talking excitedly. At that time, bandits were rampant, specializing in seizing merchants who traveled on the national highways. The lord of Xiong Chu was busy annexing other countries, and did not want to damage the soldiers and horses to intervene, and the Lily of the Valley country was founded on agriculture since ancient times, and there was not enough armed force to sanction it, and the merchant people felt that they were suffering, but there was nothing they could do.
According to rumors, Jin Ran led a team of soldiers and horsemen disguised as wealthy caravans, regardless of the opposition of the lord of Lily of the Valley, went by neck, and directly exterminated this group of bandits. No one can say exactly what the details are, all the rumors are all through the process of piercing and chiseling, adding fuel and vinegar, and some even spread the fallacy of the gods helping each other.
In short, since then, there has been no trace of bandits, and Jin Ran's reputation has also spread in various countries. After this incident, the country of Lily of the Valley was still a weak country, but the prestige established by Jin Ran protected it from any infringement, and let the people live a life of self-sufficiency without quarrel with the world.
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, purely taking advantage of human weaknesses, it's not worth it." Even if he was praised in person, Jin Ran was still expressionless, without the slightest joy and pride. "It's Your Excellency's art of war that is breathtaking, and I've been fascinated for a long time."
"Just call me by name! Your Excellency came, and the one who went down called weird. Qingyuan had a strange look on his face, he couldn't stand this kind of red tape the most, "Call you Jin Ran, don't you mind?" ”
Jin Ran shook his head.
