Ten zhang away in front of the two, there were four paper targets that were pierced by Xue Yuxiao, and the two on the left and right were all pierced in tatters and dense, and even the bullseye was hit by several, only the most central one - empty, undamaged.

Li Qingchou raised his foot and stepped on the weapon rack in the exercise ground, turned around, pointed the distance and direction with his thumb, and wondered: "Should this be?" If you hadn't really missed, I would have thought that the target in the middle was thousands of miles away, and I hallucinated that I saw it there. ”

Xue Yuxiao: "...... You're scolding people so highly. ”

Li Qingchou really didn't understand, she went around from the left side again, walked to Xue Yuxiao's right hand, grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully, there was a thin cocoon on her hand that held a pen to practice calligraphy, it was very new, it can be seen that it was started to work in recent months, and there are traces of grabbing bows and arrows, updated, but it can be seen that the progress is rapid, due to the size and tension of the bow changed many times, the wear and tear are not the same, and there is no calluse.

"How are you doing with archery?" She asked.

Xue Yuxiao sighed: "You don't believe it, my riding and shooting progress is very fast, and I will never miss the target." ”

When she said this, a gust of wind rolled up on the field, blowing the paper target that was tied into a sieve in the distance to tremble, and then snapped - the pierced fell down, and only the unscathed target in the middle held its head high, showing its heroic posture to Xue Yuxiao.

The two turned around and looked at each other together, and then looked at each other again, and they both saw the words "speechless and choking" in each other's eyes.

Li Qingchou was really afraid that she would use it for practice, and when she met a thief, she went over with a flying knife, and with a whoosh, she pierced a string of marks along the thief's figure...... Can she really be Xue Yuxiao's secret weapon teacher?

"People are not good at things." Xue Yuxiao was also a little melancholy, "Could it be that this is your unique skill, you can't teach others, can't this kind of good thing be blessed on me?" ”

Li Qingchou comforted her: "How can it be, everything that can be learned will inevitably make progress." You're just...... Ahem, have you ever heard of "The Legend of Seeking Fang"? ”

She couldn't take it anymore, and stiffly turned the conversation around and moved on to another topic.

Xue Yuxiao took the flying knife, and used the gestures and power skills she taught, with a "whoosh", and another flash of light left, she said without blinking: "I've heard it." ”

"This book has been popular in the capital recently, I came from the military government, and there are plaques asking for books written at the door of the teahouse and restaurant on the road, which costs a lot of money." Li Qingchou said, "I told you last time that I wanted to borrow the "Brief Explanation of the Famous Chapters of Jin Yu", if you have a surplus here, can you lend me the "Qiu Fang Ji", when this book is completed, the literati in Beijing will definitely rise up to annotate it, and the opportunity is rare." ”

She also did not forget to ask: "You have to give it a try too, if you are too famous, maybe ......"

"If it is a second-class scholar clan or a Shu clan Hanmen, it is called a blessing." Xue Yuxiao took another flying knife, "For me...... It is a double-edged sword, sharp inside and out. ”

Li Qingchou sighed and bowed his head, deeply unfair. Then I saw Xue Yuxiao call a waiter to give a few words, and after a while, the waiter came over with a small wooden box.

Xue Yuxiao took it out of the box: "The four editions of the annotations of the "Golden Jade Famous Chapter", the version of the golden thread is the annotation of His Majesty. At the bottom is "Seeking Fang". ”

The relationship between the two is progressing rapidly, and there is no need to be too polite. Li Qingchou said: "Chanjuan Niang is really powerful, I know you have a way...... By the way, do you know who the owner of Mingyue is? There is no news from Lantai, only that it is Zhao Zhongcheng's friend, I think, since it is Zhongcheng's friend, it should be a senior who is more than half a hundred years old, and if he wants to write a note, he should go to pay a visit. ”

"Master Mingyue...... Xue Yuxiao repositioned himself, looked at the bull's-eye, and said, "Look at my flying knife......"

The techniques for the two to change the topic can be said to be almost the same.

Li Qingchou didn't want to look at her flying knife at all, and hurriedly mentioned: "This is the most mysterious author in recent years, except for the coral owner. I saw a private bounty on the street, signed by the owner of the coral. ”

Coral Master is a highly prolific writer, four books in five years, outstanding rhetoric, known for his bold style, and has a considerable number of fans in Beijing. This person's book will be marked with the phrase "The coral in the palm of the hand is not pitiful" as a remark.

Xue Yuxiao finally became a little interested: "How to write it on paper?" ”

"It's also written to find people." Li Qingchou was concise and to the point, "It seems that I have a lot of insights into this book, maybe the purpose is the same as mine." ”

At this point, she put away several books, and then turned her head to look at Xue Yuxiao...... As expected, the target she should hit is still heroic, and it is still intact in the rain of swords and swords.

Li Qingchou really wanted to sigh.

She got stuck in her throat in one breath, and before she could sigh, she saw that the trunk of the locust tree four or five feet behind the target was full of cold shapes, and a large piece of bark had been peeled off, and from a distance it looked like a hedgehog lying on its stomach.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Xue Yuxiao said, "...... Is there any progress? ”

Li Qingchou looked at her and didn't speak.

The real chill is not the loud noise, but the silence that wants to speak and stops.

……

Coral Palace.

There was a strong incense in the hall to cover the smell of boiling wine that had not dispersed inside.

The slaves bowed their heads and walked in silence. On the soft seat in the inner hall, Xie Budo wore a scarlet coat and sat on the side of the boiling wine stove.

The crown of his hair was loose, and the strands of his hair were a little messy and lazily flowing out, swinging over his shoulders and in front of him. The hall was full of books, paper, pen and ink, and empty wine glasses everywhere, and the Bogu shelf where the objects were placed was half empty, and the furnishings on it were broken a lot by Xie Budo.

Everyone knows that the temper of the Fourth Highness is not good.

He lowered his hand, skimmed out the overboiling foam, and drank the rest of the cup. Not far away, there was the sound of kneeling and saluting, and there was a steady footstep.

A moment later, an equally red hem appeared in front of him.

Xie Fu wore a red gold regular clothes, and accidentally stepped on the dirty scroll on the ground, she reached out and picked up a piece of paper that was painted black on the bookcase, glanced at him, and went straight in: "You sent a document to ask to see the master of Mingyue?" ”

Xie Budo looked up at her.

"Okay." Xie Fu said, "I have always set no restrictions on your travel. If she sees you, tell me who she is immediately. ”

Xie Budo said: "Does the imperial sister care very much?" ”

"There are a few folds in the court's request to recruit the master of Mingyue." The emperor said, "Today, the military government is also playing, saying that this book is comparable to Wang Xiu's "Golden and Jade Famous Chapters" back then. ”

Xie Budo knew what she was worried about. She feared that if she took it lightly and hired the Magi in a courteous manner, she would be more constrained. Since ancient times, Xie Fu is not only not satisfied with sharing the world with the scholars, but also wants his decision to be carried out unhindered-

Famous ministers like Wang Xiu and Xue Zeshu only need one or two to show the emperor's sageness, and they don't need too much. Too much, but I don't feel happy for myself.

"I want to know who she is, and I need to know her character and personality." Xie Fu was condescending and looked down at him, "You can't be blamed for what happened last time, I won't pursue it." ”

Xie Budo chuckled a few lowly, he scooped up the hot wine, drank it all in one gulp, the wine ran down his throat, burning down his chest all the way, he said, "Last time? What happened last time, was it the imperial sister who asked me to take the initiative to set a trap, and stick to the daughter of the courtier with the respect of the prince, and be as cheap and ugly as a wild dog in estrus? ”

"Or ...... The royal sister wants me to write a book that honors the royal family, scandalizes the nobles, falsifies meritorious deeds, fabricates crimes, and fools the people for you? Xie Budo continued to ask, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he carried a depraved smile in his drunken state, "Brother Chen is really your most loyal mouthpiece, the reward given by the imperial sister to the loyal minister, is it to give me to Xue Yuxiao to marry and make the best use of it?" ”

Xie Fu was not angry, and laughed along. She said: "The marriage is too obvious, I am afraid that I will force Xue Zeshu to rebel." What's more, the holy decree has been reviewed by Luantai, one may not be able to be issued, and the other is not that it cannot be refused, you are such a ......"

She paused, "The son of the Huanyi slave, it is a blessing for you to be able to call me a sister and a brother." What you have is all because of my forgiveness - not grateful, and indeed what lowly bloodlines would think. ”

Xie Budo didn't react, because he had heard this kind of thing many, many times. Xie Fu doesn't often say it, but in the Coral Palace, the inner curtain, in this huge and lonely palace, he has long become the talk of everyone, and he is the object of the entire Jingzhao speculation.

"Compared to your pen and ink mouthpiece, this mouth of your own can't speak much."

Xie Budo pulled the corners of his mouth, smiling without smiling, and lazily supporting his chin: "Thank you for sparing your life, you command, my brother will do his best." ”

After a while, the two finished their discussions, and Xie Fu left the Coral Palace.

She didn't look at her feet as she left, and her boots accidentally tossed the red clay stove belt to the side.

The water spread instantly, the lid of the furnace dripped, and the charcoal fire below burst out a spark, burning on Xie Budo's red clothes.

He didn't care, just curled up on the couch alone, slowly curled up into a ball, as if he could fall asleep after being drunk.

Wild Song Five Willows Front (3)

Chapter 26

The courtiers' tables are one after the other.

Although the emperor did not express his position, he was also under a lot of pressure. Under the bewitchment of the fame, there were bold people who pretended to be pseudonyms and wanted to confuse the eyes - they didn't need to meet the emperor, these people couldn't even pass the level of Lantai Bookstore, and after Zhao Wenqin's torture, they killed the impostor for the crime of bullying according to the law.

The atmosphere in Beijing became more and more hot and anxious. Who is the "Bright Moon Master"? This question lingers in everyone's mind and has become the most popular topic recently.

In addition to the officials, even the military government is actively looking for this person.

"Fleur." Xiao Miao, the general of the Dianjun army, called Li Furong to stop. Xiao Miaonian is about thirty years old, and he is the mainstay of the Xiao clan in Lanling, "We must find this person first and draw him into our department, especially if Huan Chengfeng can't get it." ”

The military government is dominated by two factions of wealthy families, one is the Lanling Xiao family who married with the Li family, and the other is the Long Kanghuan family who is "an official eunuch and a military general". Xiao Miao and Huan Chengfeng have been bitter enemies for many years, with different political views and different tactics, and they have never looked at each other well.

After the last incident, Li Furong looked much calmer: "The general's order, Furong will do her best." ”

Xiao Miao said again: "If you can get it, even if you promise her some benefits in private." In a word...... If Huan Chengfeng finds her first, we will look for an opportunity to kill this person before she enters the military mansion. ”

Li Furong's heart suddenly sudden, and she still said on the surface: "The younger generation understands." ”

Since Xue Yuxiao came to the door with "evidence" and took away a large amount of money, Li Furong has been suspicious of this kind of "luring with interests". In her heart, people who can be impressed by interests will also be eroded by the interests of others in the future, and they must not be reused.

In the face of the upper peak, she maintained the due obedience. When she left the gate of the military mansion and returned to the Spring Water Garden, she deployed her attendants and soldiers to secretly search for this person...... She didn't believe it, just a writer, pouring the power of Lantai, the ministry, and the military government, couldn't find it? Could it be that she evaporated out of thin air?

……

Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuxiao had four or five books in his hand, four of which had a red coral mark. This is a number of famous stories written by the coral master in the past few years, from "Phoenix Yin" to "Merry Sword Dream", each of which has been a bestseller in Jingzhao, and is often compared when everyone reviews the story.

True. The book written by the coral master is indeed not as good as Wang Xiu's "Golden Jade Famous Chapter" and Xue Yuxiao's "Qiu Fang Ji", but his structure and rhetoric are already on the upper side.

Even if there is no practical talk in it, just singing praises to the emperor is enough to seal an idle official and live by eating.

But he never showed up.

Xue Yuxiao pondered, and the more she looked, the more she found that there was something strange in it, she raised her hand and beckoned: "Pei Lang, you come." ”

Pei Yuxue wrote a note on the small couch not far away to write a note on "Qiu Fang Ji", and when she heard this, she didn't put down the scroll, but came over with the book, walked to Xue Yuxiao's side, and sat down next to her.

"Have you read these books, have you noticed any clues?" Xue Yuxiao asked.

Pei Yuxue lowered her eyes, swept the titles of the book one by one, and commented impartially: "A work of the middle and upper level." There's nothing flawed about the story of light, it's just ...... I don't know who the author is, but each book is satirizing the power of the royal family among the scholars, and the ministers have the heart of not being subordinate, and there are more anti-thieves and rebels, which causes the world to be restless...... This person should be a staff scholar of the Xie royal family. ”

Xue Yuxiao bowed his head and followed his words: "This is the emperor's mouthpiece." I'm wondering, could this be someone from Lantai Academy? Is it the housekeeper next to His Majesty? Or is it the group of Wen Peng who only belongs to the emperor? There are people in Jingzhao who have such talents and such relationships, and they can't estimate the number of five fingers. ”

Pei Yuxue was silent for a moment and said, "Can this be counted as a man?" ”

Xue Yuxiao was stunned.

The two met their eyes. Pei Yingxue's eyes were clear and focused, her posture was upright, and she raised in a calm tone: "This person who can be counted on one hand, even you who are not involved in the government can be locked, and the important minister of the scholar clan who has been secretly smeared should have known the identity of this person for a long time, how could such a flattering lackey be allowed to be an official in the court in peace?" Unless, he is not in the court at all, or even - everyone did not think of his identity and did not believe that he could take on this position. ”

"You're right." Xue Yuxiao flipped the pages of the book. The more time she passed, the more she gradually merged with the thinking characteristics of the times, and when considering candidates, she inherently excluded men...... She thought about it again, ran her fingertips over the mark on it, and suddenly said, "Fourth Highness? ”

Pei Yuxue looked at her and said, "I think so too." ”

"When did you become suspicious?"

He said: "When he writes in the book how to get rid of the sand of the guard. ”

"Hmm...... Well?! ”

Xue Yuxiao raised his head suddenly, looked at him and blinked, and stumbled over his words: "Guard...... What? ”

Pei Yuxue looked away: "Don't pretend to be confused." ”

"I'm really ......" Xue Yuxiao paused, "Okay, you tell me where it is, I'll see for myself." ”

Pei Yuxue said: "The last few pages of "Phoenix Yin". ”

Xue Yuxiao opened the book according to his words, and sure enough, he found the corresponding description on the penultimate page - it was written in detail that the aristocratic men of the Eastern Qi Dynasty were proud of having sand to guard their bodies, and used cinnabar to feed geckos, mashed and made of magic, and dotted between the waist and abdomen, once they had sex with the woman, the red sand would fall off.

The more famous the family, the more they will pay attention to the purity of the bloodline. In recent years, even the Shu people and even the people have begun to develop this kind of red sand production method to test the chastity of men.

Although Xue Yuxiao was already familiar with most of the customs of this dynasty, Pei Yuxue would not take the initiative to tell her this kind of knowledge with privacy and shame.
