It was the first time that Jun Huailang saw Xue Yan like this.
He raised his brows slightly and glanced at the instructor. His light-colored eyes contained two points of sarcasm and a smile. Instead, he seemed to be full of vigor and arrogance.
It was a rare youthful spirit in him, like a bud on a dead branch, and the first clues were seen in his indifferent and alienated look.
He thought to himself, maybe this is Xue Yan when he was in Yan County, and it is also his original appearance. It's just that he was killed by everyone in Chang'an for many years, and finally became the person he saw in his previous life.
Everything is going in the right direction. The corners of Jun Huailang's lips twitched upwards.
Over there, the teacher walked away embarrassedly, and the only thing that happened just now did not happen. The crowd watching the excitement also looked away, and they were still whispering to each other, discussing how Xue Yanfang used one arrow to split another arrow.
Jun Huailang turned his eyes back and wanted to draw another arrow to try.
At this moment, he saw Xue Yunhuan's eyes as real, staring at Xue Yan enthusiastically and excitedly. He also tried to maintain his arrogant expression, the corners of his mouth tensed, but the light in those eyes could not be hidden.
Jun Huailang was stunned: This is...
Then, he saw Xue Yunhuan restrainedly walking in front of Xue Yan, cleared his throat, looked at him arrogantly, put on a condescending look, and said, "Come and help me see, my What's wrong with archery? It's never accurate enough, it's annoying."
Jun Huailang saw that although Xue Yunhuan was tensed and reserved, if he had a tail, he would be wagging in a circle at this time.
He stood beside him and shook his head with a smile.
Just now, he was showing off his excellent archery skills with himself, but he completely forgot about it at this time, and just went to Xue Yan for advice.
However, Xue Yan glanced at Xue Yunhuan, raised his hand and nodded at the bow in his hand, signaling him to take the arrow and pull it away.
Xue Yunhuan did as he did, still with a straight back and an extravagant and arrogant look.
"Why, do I still need to teach my archery posture?" he said proudly. "My archery, but I'm under... ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Yan didn't lift his eyelids. With one step, he kicked on his shoulder-level feet, and with a swipe, he corrected his stance.
"Turn sideways and stand." He said succinctly. Before Xue Yunhuan came back to his senses, he squeezed his shoulder again with one hand and pushed back.
"Duanping," he said. "The arm still lacks some strength, and I have practiced less. The lower plate is unstable, so I go back and take an hour's horse stance every day."
After speaking, he patted Xue Yunhuan's tight back again: "Relax, don't use your strength in useless places."
His series of movements were neat and merciless at all, and his subordinates did not spare any effort. After a series of corrections, Xue Yunhuan only felt that his shoulders were numb, and he couldn't recover for a while.
When he looked up, he saw Xue Yan holding his arms, and the disgust on his face could be easily seen: "Who did you teach me just now?"
His expression made Xue Yunhuan feel that he was not as good as an ordinary soldier in Yan County.
—Although Xue Yan thought so in all likelihood.
Xue Yunhuan felt embarrassed and annoyed, and the arrow stopped shooting. As soon as he put up his posture, he said angrily, "I told you that you don't know me, so I'll tell you what to do!"
With that said, he turned around and returned to his place aggressively. The admiration and yearning of the former were all vanished by Xue Yan's expression.
When was his dignified Dayong's only son-in-law ever treated in such a discriminatory manner, when was he ever subjected to such grievances!
This fellow Xue Yan, who was whispering to Jun Huailang just now, was drawing a bow for him and shooting arrows with him, and when he arrived at his place, he humiliated himself mercilessly.
Not human, this evil star is simply not human!

After returning to Mingluan Palace that day, Jun Huailang was called by Concubine Shu to the main hall. Concubine Shu's food and clothing costs have always been the best. She also loves her children. Every time the small kitchen opens fire, the two brothers and sisters Jun Huailang are inferior.
It was getting late at this time, Concubine Shu was leaning on the beautiful couch in front of the window, and when she saw Jun Huailang come in, she asked him to come to rest and eat cakes.
"I heard that you went to practice arrows in the afternoon?" Concubine Shu said. "What do you do when you practice that Luo Shizi, but you hurt your hand?"
Jun Huailang smiled: "It's not hurt, it's just a little red. Today, I was fortunate to have the guidance of the Fifth Highness, and my nephew was saved from a lot of pain."
Concubine Shu casually snorted and said, "He is indeed a good boy, but it's a pity that God doesn't want him to be better, and his life is a bit thinner."
Jun Huailang coaxed her with a smile: "This is my aunt's Mingluan Palace. What is God's words? I don't listen to my aunt."
Since he came in, he has noticed that Diancui is not in the Palace of Concubine Shu. But Jun Huailang also knew that his aunt had no intentions, and even if he discovered something, he had to tell her carefully.
Over there, Concubine Shu was amused by him, and she tapped his forehead with her finger painted in red Kodan: "Where did you learn to be eloquent?"
Jun Huailang replied with a smile: "It's not a slick tongue. How the Fifth Highness is doing, it always depends on what Auntie Diancui tells Aunt Cui."
Sure enough, Concubine Shu said with a smile: "What can I tell you? Dian Cui, you don't know, she grew up with Ben Gong, and she has always been kind and easy-going. What matters in the palace can't be handled well by her? Do you need this palace to bother?"
Jun Huailang paused for a moment, then smiled for a moment and said, "That's right. But now, the Fifth Highness is also an aunt's child. If I want to call you mother concubine, if you are still lazy at this time, it will be unreasonable. already."
Concubine Shu propped herself up and made a gesture to beat him, and while beating, she smiled and said, "I came here to be a lobbyist for Xue Yan, and turned her elbows towards him, thinking that this palace is not good to him, right? "
Jun Huailang also laughed with her. But with a smile on his face, Jun Huailang thought about it in his heart.
His aunt, he knew best. There are several brothers in his father's family, but his aunt is the only daughter, who has been held in the hands of his brothers since he was a child, and has developed a temperament that is arrogant but not familiar with the world.
As for Dian Cui, he had been by her aunt's side since she was six or seven years old, and followed her all the way from the palace to the palace. She was supposed to be the most loyal.
Therefore, if I tell my aunt without any basis, she will definitely not believe it. Even if she was skeptical, with her character, she would definitely turn around and let Dian Cui know.
He needs to find out the handle of Dian Cui himself. Never rely on his aunt in such matters.
The two quarreled for a while, and Concubine Shu was a little tired, so she lay back on the beauty's couch. Holding a pure gold filigree inlaid treasure heater, she played with it and said, "There is one more thing. Your mother asked me about the Qianqiu Banquet a few days ago, asking when you will go back."
As she said that, she smiled and said: "Ben Gong naturally refused, saying that he would stay with you for a while. It's so cold, how troublesome it is to move around? Besides, you and Ling Huan are not in the palace yet. How long have you been with Ben Gong, Mingluan Palace has been lively for a while, but Ben Gong has not had enough."
Jun Huailang said with a helpless smile, "That's all from my aunt."
He really didn't intend to leave at this time. Dian Cui is still in his aunt's palace, and he has always been uneasy in his heart. He has to solve this uneasy element before he can go home in peace.
"However, your mother also said that your father may be going on an expatriate assignment soon. She wants you to go back sooner, so at least say goodbye to your father." Concubine Shu said.
Jun Huailang paused and tightened the hand on his knee slightly.
During this period of time, he focused his energy on his sister's past life, but he never forgot the death of his father.
Although his father had a very high title, he was especially careful to avoid the king's edge, and never touched the matter of the high-ranking master. Although he was the first-ranking scholar who was famous in the capital, now he is only a fourth-rank secretary in the Guozijian.
But also in the spring of this year, his father took the post of the Imperial College Supervisor and went to Jiangnan a year earlier to arrange the Jiangnan scientific examination for the following year. Jiangnan has always been one of the most important areas in Dayong's imperial examinations. Sending him there was considered the emperor's favor.
But Jun Huailang knew that it was because the Jun family had always been cautious, not a party or a group, and the emperor was assured of his family, so he dared to temporarily entrust such an important matter to his father.
But the next year just started the summer, and before the autumn season, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, trapping Yongning Gong and his party there. The emperor also temporarily appointed the Duke of Yongning and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and entrusted him to handle the water control in the south of the Yangtze River.
After that, there was a sudden report of Duke Yongning's greed for money and grain to control the flood, which made the flood in the south of the Yangtze River more and more difficult to restrain, and caused the refugees to gather in a revolt, harassing the surrounding counties and civilians, causing countless casualties.
The importance of greed for money and money made the emperor decree that Duke Yongning beheaded on the spot.
From then on, Xue Yan, a seventeen-year-old in his previous life, led the army without any generals. With only a thousand troops, he quelled the Jiangnan uprising army, and by the way killed a large number of Jiangxi bandits. It was this battle that made Xue Yan's name, and the famous evil star in the harem also had a place in the court.
But Jun Huailang's father stayed in the south of the Yangtze River with no bones left.
Jun Huailang knew that his father would never commit corruption and bribery.
His father's official position was low, and he didn't understand it when he was a child. He only regarded his father as a rich and idle man with no ambitions. After that, Jun Xiaowu wanted to practice martial arts, but his father did not agree to it anyway, and he was beaten in the head. Jun Huailang went to intercede, but his father didn't say anything, he just asked him to go back and copy Zhongyong a hundred times.
After that, Jun Huailang understood what his father meant.
Yong, Chang Ye, and neutrality are the way to go. His Jun family was already a big family, a founding father, a century-old family, and a very high reputation in the DPRK.
Such an aristocratic family can help the emperor when there is no one in the court, but in a peaceful and prosperous age and when there are many talents, the most important thing is to keep a low profile and keep a low profile, not to attract attention and not to provoke the emperor's suspicion.
How could someone as prudent and well-behaved as his father rashly do something so greedy in danger
Jun Huailang knew from his previous life that someone must have done something. But at that time, officials in the DPRK and China were clearly divided and inextricably linked with each other. The slightest movement in him would cause people to notice and take precautions, making it difficult for them to move forward.
So in this life, if he wants to save his father, he needs to help and remind himself, and find out who framed his father in advance.
In this case, he must find a way to go to Jiangnan with his father this spring.
Jun Huailang had a clear plan, so he didn't know, and asked Concubine Shu, "Father is going abroad? I don't know where to go?"
Concubine Shu fiddled with her fingernails and said casually, "Listen to your mother, she is going to Jiangnan."
Jun Huailang laughed: "I don't know how long my father will be going? I haven't been to Jiangnan since I was born. I heard that there are small bridges and flowing water there, and Yang Liu Yiyi's is very beautiful."
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Concubine Shu burst out laughing: "Why is it so difficult? Go back to Bengong and write to your father and ask him to take you with him. It just so happens that you can stay here until spring, so you can save money. went back early."
Jun Huailang realized that the next big thing came to his mind, and nodded in agreement with a smile.
