"No, no, don't worry. Your Majesty may have guessed that the person I arrested the night before was Li Yan, but there was no evidence, or he was not at ease with me, so he called me intimidated and tried a few words, and beat me up. ”

When Su Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and felt very sorry: "It's all my bad, so that you can't do it in front of my Aye." ”

"It doesn't matter." Pei Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I came out to meet you for another reason. As you know, after I found you before, I didn't want anyone to know that you and I knew each other, so as not to cause you unnecessary trouble. But now it seems that it backfired, and I am afraid that it cannot be hidden. Last night, even His Majesty asked me about looking for you. And when you move in, you can't go unseen. Therefore I have a matter which I would like to seek your permission first. ”

"Before you go back to the palace to restore your identity, if someone asks, they will say that you are the son of my old man. In this way, it is logical for me to keep you living in Yongning Mansion. ”

"Okay." Su Yu nodded.

Pei Xiaoyuan said again: "I can't hide it, I have many enemies in Beijing, all of whom are high-ranking and powerful people. If you get too close to me, and you don't want to go back to the palace immediately, I'm afraid it will be bad for you. You have to be prepared. ”

Rain.

"Pei Langjun, you are not afraid of being affected by me, I am afraid of being affected by you? If it is really a burden, I should tell you this thing. ”

Because of the narration of the two, they each stepped off their mounts and slowly stopped, and finally stood still, bowed their heads and greedily ate the tender alfalfa in the grass by the roadside. In the sound of the broken blades of grass, the fragrance of the grass juice slowly lingered around the two of them, spreading in all directions.

And near them, the continuous shore was full of grass, and white and purple stars and wildflowers were blooming everywhere, and the breeze blew, and a piece of water on the shore sparkled, and a little dazzling golden light was reflected in her smiling eyes.

Pei Xiaoyuan watched all this silently, and suddenly remembered the incident that he had tried to explain to her several times before, but he couldn't get out, and after hesitating, he finally spoke: "That guy with a green head has always been open-mouthed, and he loves to make a fuss and talk nonsense. If he tells you how hard I am looking for you, don't believe it. ”

"It's just my duty. And it's not hard. ”

After he finished speaking, he specially added such a sentence.

Su Yu glanced at him, his expression solemn.

She pursed her lips, but did not answer.

Pei Xiaoyuan saw it in his eyes, but he didn't know what she thought about her reaction like this, so he couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart, but his expression became more solemn. After a few moments, I finally heard her speak.

"I have something to say to you. I wonder if you have been to the Temple of Mercy and Grace in the middle of the night before? ”

Pei Xiaoyuan's heart jumped, she didn't know what her intentions were, she couldn't help but hesitate, and she was still considering whether to admit that she had been there, and she continued: "If there is, no matter what you see, I tell you, it's all the Yuwen family's nonsense and deliberate." I have nothing to do with him. ”

Pei Xiaoyuan didn't expect her to take the initiative to talk to herself about it. However, instead of dispelling the barriers in his mind, her explanation only added to his doubts.

He even wanted to take the opportunity to ask how she and Yu Wenzhi met in the past.

Looking at the way the two got along that night, even if Yu Wenzhi deliberately showed him, he could see that they were very familiar with each other, and he didn't know how far they had intersected before.

However, how could his identity be asked rashly? In silence, she suddenly thought that the son of the Yuwen family was the first person to know about her daughter's identity, and her mood became more and more bad.

At this moment, several horses came running from the opposite side, interrupting his thoughts.

Two young girls rode on horseback on the opposite side. One has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a yellow shirt and a purple skirt, and the other has a delicate face and is dressed in red. The two of them are superb in riding, driving their respective jujube red and white jade horses, and galloping side by side on the road by the lake like the wind.

The horse jade groove gold bridle, carved saddle brocade barrier, the lake water color is like jade, the mirror reflects the shadow, the shawl and skirt of the two girls in the wind are rolled and danced on the horseback, the laughter is flying, straight like the beautiful scenery is blowing in the face, which is pleasing to the eye.

Behind them, there was a thin boy who looked a little younger, riding on a silver-silk green horse that was too tall compared to him, and his riding skills were not as skilled as the second girl. Seeing that he was backward, he seemed a little anxious, but he stepped off Qingcong and refused to accept the drive, and stopped and stopped. It's not fast, but in this way, it was left far behind by the girl in front of him.

The second girl noticed and stopped by the side of the road to wait for him. The woman in red urged and laughed at the young man for being bullied by the brute, laughing so hard that he leaned forward and leaned back, and almost fell off the horse.

The girl in the yellow shirt frowned and looked at the young man, constantly giving various instructions, the young man was in a hurry, the girl was impatient, turned the horse's head back to the young man, and whipped to urge the young man.

"Hurry up!"

"Brother, you are so timid, and you are stupid, you still want to learn to ride a horse with us?"

Qingcheng groaned twice and ran with the young man on his back.

The woman in red applauded and cheered: "Thirteen Lang can ride a horse!" Thirteen Lang can ride a horse! ”

The girl in the yellow shirt laughed, obviously feeling very proud of the effect of her action.

But then, the second girl found out that something was wrong.

Qingcong has a violent temperament, and after eating pain, he has a temper attack, and while running, he wants to throw off the person on his back. The young man's riding skills were jerky, but his balance was not bad, and although he was staggered by the green skull at first, his legs could still clamp the horse's belly tightly, and he was not immediately thrown off the horse. When the young man got up, he ran faster and faster, overtook the girl in red in a blink of an eye, and ran wildly forward, and the young man finally couldn't support it, and in the middle of Qing Cheng's leap again, he rolled down from the horse's back, and one foot was mistakenly inserted into the stirrup ring of the stirrup, and he was immediately hooked.

In the exclamation of the second girl, he grabbed the reins and the saddle with both hands, and finally reluctantly hung himself on the side of Qing Cheng, but with the horse galloping forward, swaying, it seemed that he was about to land at any moment.

Once his hands can't hold on and his feet can't get out of the stirrups, he hits his head on the ground and becomes like he is being dragged by the horse.

At this time, seven or eight people who accompanied him also caught up, and they were shocked when they saw this, and urged the horses to chase after them.

This young man is Li Xu, the grandson of King Ning, the king of Xin'an, the two girls, the daughter of the eldest princess of the red-clothed one, Lu Wenjun, the lord of Danyang County, the yellow-clothed and urging the horse forward, is Li Xu's sister, Li Wanwan, the county lord of Yucheng.

It turned out that Li Yu was under the control of his widowed mother Xue Niangzi since he was a child, and not only was he not allowed to practice martial arts, but he was not even allowed to run fast on horseback.

It's okay when he was a child, but now that he is growing up, he can't say that he is a teenager of the same age, even his sister can do whatever he wants, he can do whatever he wants, and he is a good player in polo, but he can only read poetry and books all day long, and his heart is inevitably lost, and he secretly longs that he can also ride a horse and gallop.

Normally, he didn't have a chance, but today his grandfather, King Ning, held a banquet here and brought him over. Finally got rid of the shackles of Xue Niangzi, and heard that his sister promised to teach him to ride a horse, he was overjoyed, so he called Lu Wenjun, who was good friends with his sister, and planned to come out to play along the lakeside.

When he chose a horse, he wanted to ride his own mount, which was the horse that Xue Niangzi personally set for him, with a docile temper and obeyed orders, but was ridiculed by Lu Wenjun, saying that he had no manly temperament, and he was not even as good as a little lady.

At this time, Li Wanwan, Lu Wenjun and his entourage were already chasing with all their might, and several of the guards finally got closer, trying to intercept Qing Cong, but not only to no avail, but instead provoked Qing Cong to become more and more furious, and directly rushed down the road and ran towards a field on the other side.

The entourage did not dare to shoot the horse, for fear of accidentally injuring King Xin'an, and even more afraid that Qingcong would fall to the ground with an arrow and press on people, so they could only follow closely and wait for the opportunity to move.

Su Yu had already recognized this young man, it was Li Yu who she met outside the hairpin star view that day.

In terms of seniority, she is still his aunt. Seeing that he was being carried down the road by an angry horse, and running farther and farther, he hung on the side of the horse's belly, and flew up like a kite, and could not help but be frightened, and subconsciously turned around and ran to his horse, grabbed the reins, and was about to get on the horse and chase after him, when his wrist was held by a strong hand.

She turned her head.

Pei Xiaoyuan stopped her and told her not to move. Before she could react, she saw him leap up and fly on his horse, and chased after him.

Li Xu's eyes were tightly closed, and he clutched the reins of his horse, trying not to let himself be thrown off in the violent shaking.

The wind whistled in his ears, and he felt that his strength was getting weaker and weaker, his fingers were sore, and gradually, the reins of the life-saving horse became more and more slippery because of the sweat from his palms.

What's worse is that Qing Cheng also knew that he couldn't hold on, and he deliberately swayed even more, and he vowed not to give up if he didn't throw him down.

The reins of the horse in Li Xu's hand slipped out again.

He knew that he was going to be unable to catch it, and he might die here today, and when he was desperate, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves galloping behind him, and someone seemed to catch up.

He barely opened his eyes, turned his head in the bump, and found that he had caught up with the horse. I heard the man shouting in the wind: "King Xin'an, hurry up!" After a while, he gritted his teeth again and struggled to stabilize himself.

The man quickly arrived on his horse, and when the two horses were moving forward side by side, he pedaled the stirrup, and by the means of the counterforce, he flew up, jumped onto the back of the green horse, sat down, leaned over, grabbed Li Xu's arm, and pulled Li Xue onto the horse.

Then, he tugged on the reins of the green skull, forcibly reined in the horse, and forced it to stop.

How could he be so easily restrained, he neighed, raised his front hooves, and raised his horse's head high, standing upright in the air, trying to make the man on his back slip and fall.

Pei Xiaoyuan scolded the beast angrily, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, controlled the reins with one hand to stabilize his body, and took out a urinal knife from the belt around his waist with the other hand, turned it upside down, and violently struck the horse's belly with the handle of the knife.

After only a few strokes, he couldn't bear the pain when he stepped off the green skull, hissed miserably, and hurriedly closed his momentum and landed on all four hooves.

After Qingcong was tamed and stopped honestly, Pei Xiaoyuan put away his knife and dismounted, and lifted Li Xu, who was still lying on the horse, and put it on the ground.

Li Yu was shocked at this time, with a white face, he opened his eyes, and when he saw the person who had saved him, he squatted beside him, looked down, and asked him if he was injured.

At this time, several guards arrived and were relieved to see this.

They are all the entourages of Li Xu, Li Wanwan, Lu Wenjun and others. If the king of Xin'an makes a mistake today, they will not escape the blame. Naturally, some people recognized Pei Xiaoyuan, hurriedly dismounted, and thanked one after another.

Li Yu on the ground was still in a daze, and suddenly heard Pei Xiaoyuan's name, his eyes lit up, and his spirit came back, and he turned over from the ground and climbed up.

"You are the Pei cavalry captain who made a battle in the Western Territory three years ago?"

Pei Xiaoyuan saw that Li Zhi was fine, and his entourage also came, and was about to leave, his sleeves were pulled, and when he turned his head to see Li Yu looking at him with wide eyes, his expression was quite excited, so he smiled, glanced at Qingcong, and said, "Horses have spirituality." No matter how fearful you may be when you encounter such a fierce horse, you must not let it see your thoughts. It must be more ruthless than it, and make it remember the pain, so that it will be tamed and listen to your commands. ”

Li Xu's eyes sparkled: "I remember." I'll try again! ”

At this time, many people came in a hurry on the road, it was Ning Wang who heard the news of his grandson's distress, he was anxious, interrupted the feast and personally rode after him, and at this moment he saw that his grandson had been rescued by Pei Xiaoyuan, safe and sound, grateful, dismounted, and couldn't even care about his position, and walked up and held his hand tightly.

"Sure enough, it's the son of the Pei family! You saved my grandson, and I will thank you so much! ”

Chapter 41

Ning Wang is out of the friendship with Pei Ji in the past, and the second is that he heard that Pei Jiazi is a young talent, so he did not hesitate to praise in front of Cui Daosi. When his mood calmed down a little, he suddenly thought of the painter, asked, and knew that the person had arrived, so he ordered him to see him.

Su Yu was nearby, and went up to meet her cousin.

People have lived to the age of King Ning and experienced a lot of things, and it is inevitable that they believe in the theory of cause and effect.

The palace eunuch who was ordered to summon people had arrived a moment earlier, and reported that Pei Jiazi seemed to know this painter, and specially came out to pick people up outside the gate. Then I thought that if it weren't for the arrival of this painter, Pei Jiazi might not have come out. If he didn't come out, he wouldn't have encountered Li Yu in distress and came to the rescue. In this way, this painter is also a transporter for his grandson.

Fortunately, I love the house and Wu, and see that this painter looks good, a rare handsome among men, not only that, but also looks kind, and the words are also very kind, telling her to slow down the painting of "Qujiang Xingle Tu", today is here, you can also play.

Su Yu thanked him.

After King Ning finished speaking, he glanced at Pei Jiazi again, nodded secretly in his heart, and then ordered someone to send Li Yu to rest, and he also led the people back into the house to continue the banquet that had just been interrupted.

Liu Ceye and Wang Zhang had a bad relationship, which was a well-known thing in the imperial court.

Except for court meetings, these two people rarely appear together. But today, because of King Ning's face, the two of them arrived together, and they were all honored guests.

Liu Ceye condoled with King Ning, said a few words that King Xin'an will have a blessing, and after returning to his seat, he watched Pei Jiazi being called by King Ning from afar, and introduced him to many literati and celebrities present today.

Not only that, Wang Zhang also acted as an elder, and smiled with this son, so he almost touched his head and stroked his back, looking very affectionate.

After Pei Xiaoyuan entered Beijing, Wang Zhangming secretly took it as a credit for promoting him to Jinwuwei that day, as if he was the son of the Pei family. In comparison, Liu Ceye, who was a villain for nothing that day, inevitably looked embarrassed.

Although his face was expressionless at the moment, he inevitably felt a little anxious in his heart, and took the opportunity of changing clothes to move to a remote place where no one was around.

The crown princess's brother, Wei Juren, a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, was waiting there. He is less than thirty years old, and like the crown prince, he is known for his good popularity.

"What happened to the prince? The feast is about to be halfway, why don't you see anyone else coming? Liu Ceye asked about his nephew's whereabouts.

After all, King Ning has a special status, and at today's feast, almost all the princes and nobles who can be said to be famous have arrived.

Li Ze, the king of Kang, arrived early in the morning, and almost accompanied King Ning by his side, talking about poetry and literature with literati and celebrities.

However, the crown prince Li Mao, who should have been the focus of attention, did not arrive.

Although this kind of occasion, the prince does not necessarily have to be present. But King Ning's face, he will take it as good no matter what.

Wei Juren wiped a layer of fine sweat that ran out of front of his forehead with a handkerchief, saying that he sent someone back to see it, and he got a return, and the princess didn't know, but he went out of the city yesterday on the grounds of hunting, and he didn't know where to go, so he only sent the army back at night, saying that he met Bailu in a valley, it was auspicious, not to be missed, and he wanted to hunt down the saint, so I am afraid that today's Qujiang banquet will not be able to catch up.

Liu Ceye frowned, and he had no choice but to brush his sleeves and return to his seat.

The prince didn't show up, although no one asked, but as long as he wasn't blind, who wouldn't pay attention?

He had no choice but to go up and explain this reason to King Ning.

King Ning opened his eyes, looked very happy, and said that auspiciousness is important, the prince's filial piety is commendable, and he hopes that Bailu can increase the blessing of the saint's longevity, and everyone echoed. The prince's absence today can be regarded as barely over.

After a while, Pei Xiaoyuan got up, and Liu Ceye threw another look at Wei Juren.

Wei Huiyi, followed out of the curtain, intercepted him on the side of a road far away from the banquet hall, made a chance encounter, and after greetings, said some admiring opening words. Then he mentions the old things when the prince Yao led the marching commander three years ago.
