Early the next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xiuyuan had already gotten up early, sat in the lobby and waited quietly.

"Young Master, the matter has been completed, all ten of them are good players in the dart game, and the horses and weapons are also ready. ”

At this time, the guard walked in and arched his hand.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Very good, are my weapons, bows and arrows ready?"

"It's ready. The guard replied.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the weather outside again, the weather was good today, it was indeed a good day to go out to play and hunt.

"But...... The eldest young master, is this number a little less, if the Chu family really wants to plot against the eldest young master, I am afraid that the ten brothers are still a little insufficient. The guard said.

"Ten people are enough, since I am invited to go out hunting, then it is impossible for the Chu family to bring too many guards, they must be more than ten people, more will cause my suspicion, don't worry about anything else, I have other preparations." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master. The guard nodded.

Li Xiuyuan also had a black tiger in the cloth bag around his waist, which was transformed by the Wei Tiger yesterday, and the strength of this fierce tiger alone was enough to make those guards of the Chu family feel desperate.

It's just that whether the Chu family chooses to attack themselves is still a question.

But there is nothing wrong with being careful, and the preparation that needs to be done still needs to be done.

"Young Master, the Chu family's Chu Tian Chu Gongzi is here, and now he is waiting outside the door. Not long after, Lu Bo came over and spoke.

"Coming on, good, let's go. ”

Li Xiuyuan, who had been sitting quietly, had his eyes flashing and nodded calmly.

The people who had already prepared immediately left the house at this moment.

At this moment, a young man in brocade clothes and a bit of heroism stood outside the Li Mansion at the moment, quietly waiting for something.

In order to ensure that Li Xiuyuan would be invited to hunt outside the city today, Chu Tian thought that he had put down his body and visited him in person, thinking that Li Xiuyuan would not be able to shirk it no matter what.

"Young Master Chu, go out of the city to hunt and play today, why invite this Li Xiuyuan, this person is dressed simply, his appearance is mediocre, there is nothing surprising, although he is a little literary, but he is tricky and arrogant, and it is not easy to get along, if he is with him, I am afraid that it will be a little less fun. ”

A scholar next to him seemed to have a lot of opinions about Li Xiuyuan, and said with a dissatisfied face.

Especially when he saw that Li Xiuyuan still had such a mansion in the city, there was a bit of sourness in his tone.

Ye Huai'an, a young man from Hedong next to him, also said with a gloomy face: "Li Xiuyuan, this person is the son of a businessman in Guobei County, and he is a little arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but I am afraid that others will not appreciate our kindness." ”

Chu Tian said with a smile: "I don't think this Li Gongzi will even give me this face, and since he has already made a post, wouldn't it be too unrighteous if he didn't come to invite, please don't be impatient, let's wait." ”

After a while, the door opened.

Li Xiuyuan strode out with the guards, with a faint smile on his face, and bowed his hand: "I'm really sorry, I have made you wait for a long time, there are many things in the house, and I have to delay a little time." ”

"It's good that Brother Li can go to the appointment, since there are all the people, then we won't waste time, let's go, I don't know if Brother Li can ride a horse?" Chu Tian returned with a smile, and looked at Li Xiuyuan with a little strange color in his eyes.

"I know a thing or two about riding. Li Xiuyuan said.

Chu Tian nodded, and then didn't ask any more.

Soon, the group rode horses and led dogs and headed towards the outside of Guobei City.

On the way, Li Xiuyuan looked at the people who were traveling with him.

There are really a lot of people, there are seven or eight scholars, and more than ten guards, in addition to the carriage with him, looking at the style of the carriage, it should be accompanied by a female companion.

In addition, the guards of the Chu family also held vicious dogs in their hands for several days, bows and arrows in their hands, complete swords, and all of them were strong and strong, and they also looked like they had some martial arts.

The leader of these guards was a middle-aged man with a somewhat gloomy face, and on the way, Chu Tian called this person Steward Wang.

It should be the culprit who harmed Wei Hu's wife, Wang Tong.

"My uncle is right, this time he went out of the city to hunt with Wang Tong, so that Wei Hu's revenge can be avenged. Li Xiuyuan thought secretly in his heart.

"Eldest young master, the guards of the Chu family are on guard against us. ”

On the way, one of the guards found an opportunity to ride over and whispered.

Li Xiuyuan nodded quietly, and didn't say anything, but felt that the previous conjecture was becoming more and more correct.

These people in the Chu family are drunkards, and they don't mean to drink.

Soon, the group was out of town.

The people of the Chu family had already made arrangements, and immediately took people to a mountain forest with beautiful scenery outside the city.

Although the mountain is not high, the forest is wide and dense, and few people visit.

After everyone stopped in an open place, the guards of the Chu family began to turn over and dismount, cut grass and trees, take care of the place, and then spread the carpet, put up the table, chairs, and other objects.

"Everyone, settle down here. Chu Tian turned over and dismounted.

At this time, the accompanying scholars all dismounted and landed, and in several of the carriages, Li Xiuyuan also saw several young and beautiful women with maids, and the maidservants slowly walked off the carriage.

"This place has a beautiful environment, it is indeed a good place to play, Chu Gongzi is really good at finding a place, such a good place has been found by Chu Gongzi. A scholar opened his mouth and praised.

"Where, just after staying here for a long time, naturally I know a little bit about some good places here. ”

Chu Tian said with a smile, took the bow and arrow from the horse, and then shot one with the bow.

A whistling sound sounded, and an arrow landed on a large tree not far away.

"Good archery, Brother Chu can be literate and martial, it is really worthy of his reputation. Ye Huai smiled comfortingly.

"It's just a small skill, I don't deserve such praise, and I've been reviewing books these days, but this archery technique is a lot lax, and I don't know if I can hunt any good prey today. ”

Chu Tian smiled modestly, but there was inevitably a bit of self-satisfaction in his expression.

Young and talented, and martial arts.

This is indeed something worth boasting, and ordinary scholars do not have such ability.

"It's just a half-stone bow, you can only hunt some chickens and rabbits, roe deer, you can't hunt wild boars and tigers, it's far worse than the eldest young master, this bit of martial arts is still here, the eldest young master can shoot a three-stone strong bow, and even a tiger can be killed with one arrow, I don't know how many times stronger than this Chu Gongzi." ”

The guard glanced at it and said with some disdain.

When it comes to the martial arts of the eldest young master, there is no one in the Li family who does not admire it.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "It can't be said that Chu Tian can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and it is still worth showing off in front of these scholars who are powerless." ”

"Alright, get ready, let's rest here,"

"Yes, young master. ”

The guards responded, and also prepared, clearing a place to set up a seat and rest, without even needing the help of the Chu family.

Because of the reminder before, the guards were on the left and right even when they were resting, not only to guard against the beasts that appeared around, but also to be wary of the guards of the Chu family.

However, this is inevitably a little unsociable, and there is some distance from everyone.

"This man is mediocre in appearance, and he is also interested in it, and he knows that he is not welcomed, and he sits far away with his escort, and does not come to disturb us. A scholar said.

"Having said that, but this Li Xiuyuan is indeed talented, the couplet he came out of last time, I pondered for a few days, but I never came out, I looked through the ancient books, and I didn't find the source of the couplet, and I felt that the couplet should be Li Xiuyuan's own idea. ”

"Oh, are you still thinking about that couplet? I didn't think much of it, because it was absolute, not like a child could have come up with. ”

The scholars began to discuss.

However, the women who were traveling nearby heard the discussion of several people.

A young and beautiful woman walked over with a little curiosity at this moment and gave a salute: "The slave family Luoxia, I have seen your sons." ”

"It turned out to be Miss Luoxia, and Xiaosheng was polite. The scholars' eyes lit up and hurriedly replied.

Luo Xia asked, "I heard a few sons talking about an absolute thing, and the slave family was curious, can a few sons say it?"

Ye Huai'an immediately smiled and said, "Miss Luoxia is also interested in this? Hehe, this thing is also a rather disappointing thing, Luoxia girl saw that the unsociable scholar over there did not, this person's surname is Li Ming Xiuyuan, is the son of a businessman in Guobei County, that day I and Chu Gongzi and his party gathered in Jibao Zhai, and happened to meet him when he met friends with Wen, this person was treacherous, and happened to hear that we were upstairs to the pair, first pretending to be unfamiliar, stupid, not very proficient, how do you know that this person does not know where to get an absolute pastime for us, so we meditate, scratch our ears and cheeks, and he laughed and left。 ”

"Thinking about it afterwards, I realized that we were tricked by this Li Xiuyuan. ”

"Yes, yes, this person looks mediocre or not, and his mind is also impure, Miss Sunset should be careful. The mediocre-looking scholar next to him said seriously.

"Oh, and this thing, who doesn't know what happened to this person, so that all the sons can't come out?"

"The pair is, smoke lock pond willow. Another scholar said.

Sunset read it again, and was about to come out, but instead frowned: "It's really not good for this pair to have gold, wood, water, fire, and earth." ”

"Miss Sunset, don't think about it, this is absolute, I guess even this Li Xiuyuan can't figure it out. The mediocre-looking scholar said.

Ye Huai'an's eyes lit up and said: "Since this is an absolute, and he can't come out, then why don't we take this opportunity to ask for advice today and see how Li Xiuyuan can find this absolute? If he can't come out, doesn't it prove that he found this pair from somewhere else?"

"Reasonable, reasonable, this is reasonable. ”

"Let's go, let's go, let's go. ”

All the scholars rose up for a while, and they went towards Li Xiuyuan in groups.
