While Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were talking, they had already arrived in front of Xiao Yi's big tent, and the soldiers guarding the tent hurriedly raised the curtain for them.
After the two sat down again, Guan Yubai made a gesture, and Xiao Si handed over several densely written papers from his arms to Xiao Yi. These were some training plans he had made for the New Talent Camp.
interesting. Xiao Yi was so engrossed that he didn't even realize that Guan Yubai was pouring tea for him...
I don't know how long it took, but Chang Huaixi ordered someone to come and report: "Master, Lord Hou, the two hundred laps have already been completed, and the second son of Cheng and the fourth son of Li who fell behind by one lap were fined five more by Chang Baijiang. Ten laps."
Zhuzi clucked his tongue when he heard it, and thought: Chang Baiwei is really "ruthless", I heard that he used to be famous in Luoyue City and he was difficult to deal with, but now he seems to have changed his ways, but his core is still the same. Ahem, it seems that I have to be more careful in the future, don't mess with Chang Baijiang.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "Let Chang Baijiang not have to report one by one, let's see who can survive for three days." Then he waved his hand to signal the soldier to retreat.
Winning or losing now is only temporary, the key is to see how determined they are, if they can persevere until the end, so what if they lose for a while? !
After the soldiers retreated, Xiao Yi stretched his waist and saw that the time on the clepsydra had passed the time, so he said to Guan Yubai: "Xiao Bai, let's go back... by the way, accompany me to the harness shop, I will Ordered some gadgets."
Guan Yubai guessed that Xiao Yi should be for the spring hunting in a few days, so he agreed with a smile.
The two rode their horses out of the Luoyue City camp and galloped all the way to Luoyue City.
By the time they arrived at a harness shop in the north of the city, the sun had already set for a little while, dyeing the western sky a bright red.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Xiao Yi, he greeted enthusiastically: "Young Master Xiao, your things are ready, please wait here."
The clerk hurriedly took out a rectangular wooden box from the cabinet, and graciously helped him open the box, revealing a riding whip inside.
Guan Yubai looked at it, was taken aback, and smiled suddenly. I see!
Xiao Yi took out the whip, looked it over carefully, and pulled it hard again.
This riding whip is made of six strands of cowhide, which is soft and strong after special tanning.
The shopkeeper said from the side: "Young Master Xiao, don't worry, our shop is a century-old shop in Luoyue City, and the whips we make are definitely first-class."
Xiao Yi glanced at the shopkeeper with a half-smile. If he was looking for the top and strongest riding whip, he would definitely not come here. The handle is very beautiful, and the handle is made of sheep's horn. It is also carved with patterns and inlaid with several rubies, which looks exquisite and unique.
When Ah Yue puts on that riding outfit and then holds this riding whip, she must be full of heroism, but also soft and beautiful, so good-looking!
Xiao Yi gestured with satisfaction, and Zhu Zi hurriedly stepped forward to settle the balance.
After coming out of the harness shop, just as he was about to get on the horse, he heard a somewhat familiar male voice from ahead: "Master Hou, Master Shizi..."
Xiao Yi and Guan Yu Bai followed the sound and saw a young man in a blue brocade robe walking out of a restaurant by the side of the road, frowning at the two of them.
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai both knew this person, and he was Li Yunqi, the captain sent by the emperor to escort Guan Yubai to southern Xinjiang. Of course, the name is escort, but it is actually monitoring...
Li Yunqi shouted, and of course the buddy who sent Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai out also heard it, and they were all shocked: I didn't expect this young man who looked a little frivolous to be the son of the world. ! The son of the world bought the horsewhip from their shop, and his shop seems to be booming.
Not only the people in the harness shop heard it, but also several passers-by on the street. They all heard it curiously. Among them was a tall and tall young man in a blue robe, with long bangs hanging down his cheeks, covering half of his handsome face. The face of Baiyue's sixth prince Carrero.
Carrero quickly glanced in Xiao Yi's direction, followed by his eyes quickly swept over Guan Yubai and Li Yunqi, thoughtful, but did not dare to stay here for a long time, and immediately turned right into a small alley, walk away quickly.
No one noticed the existence of the young man, and everyone's eyes were on Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai and Li Yunqi.
"Master Hou, Master Shizi!" Li Yunqi strode towards the two of them, clasping his fists again to salute them.
Xiao Yi looked at Li Yunqi lazily, and said casually: "Captain Li, what a coincidence."
"Yes, my son." Li Yunqi looked at the two meaningfully.
As early as in Yanding City, Li Yunqi discovered that An Yihou and Xiao Shizi had a good personal relationship, not only let An Yihou participate in the military affairs of southern Xinjiang, but even when he dispatched troops to Yongjia City, he specially handed over the military power and let An Yihou take full charge of Yan All the affairs of Dingcheng. He originally thought that it was because Xiao Shizi was loyal to the emperor that he was so polite to An Yihou.
But after the Battle of Nanliang ended, Li Yunqi began to feel that something was wrong. These days, he had been doing nothing in Luoyue City, but An Yihou always went out with Xiao Shizi, and he even saw them more than once The two ran to the camp in Luoyue City together.
These two people have been in close contact, which made him wonder if they had reached a deal without him knowing... Or, as early as when Xiao Yi was still in the capital, these two people had actually secretly plotted against each other. Pass song? !
The more Li Yunqi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. If Marquis An Yi really colluded with Xiao Shizi and deceived the emperor in matters of southern Xinjiang, then he would have lost the emperor's order.
Li Yunqi's heart was heavy, and he settled down. He purposely glanced at the harness shop, and said tentatively, "Master Hou and Master Shizi are here to buy harnesses? In the end, Lord Hou and Master Shizi are so close to each other, they are really like brothers." ah!"
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, and was about to speak when Xiao Yi put his right hand on Guan Yubai's left shoulder without hesitation, and said directly: "I hit it off with Lord Hou, what advice does Lieutenant Li have?"
Saying that, Xiao Yi's originally casual eyes instantly became sharp.
Li Yunqi was startled, and his whole body tensed up. Since he arrived in Southern Border, Prince Xiao has always been polite to him, thinking of Prince Xiao's reputation in the royal capital in the past, so he is still a little contemptuous of Prince Xiao. At this moment, he dullly realized that this person is the son of Zhennan Prince who defeated Baiyue and Nanliang continuously, and he is definitely not an ordinary dude!
In the final analysis, I am now in Southern Xinjiang, the territory of the Prince of Zhennan, and there is a saying that "a strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake", even if I lose my life in Southern Border, the Emperor's side, Prince Xiao may be able to handle it.
Li Yunqi smiled stiffly, cupped his fists and said, "I don't dare to be an instructor. The last general is just saying it casually."
At this moment, a waiter came out from the restaurant just now, and cautiously said to Li Yunqi: "Guest officer, you haven't given me any money yet."
Li Yunqi became more and more embarrassed, excused himself to pay the bill, and left in a hurry.
Seeing Li Yunqi's stiff back, Guan Yubai said helplessly: "Ah Yi, Li Yunqi is not smart, as long as you give him a little guidance, he will clear up his doubts." Why do you have to be arrogant.
Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously, and suddenly asked inexplicably, "Xiaobai, do you like Nanjiang?"
Guan Yubai was stunned, unable to react for a while.
Xiao Yi didn't seem to expect Guan Yu to answer in vain, and continued on his own: "If you have to swallow your anger in Southern Border, what is the difference from staying in the king?! Why should I invite you to Southern Border!" With a chuckle, there was a loud voice, "Southern Xinjiang is my territory, even if Li Yunqi wants to sue, it depends on whether I agree or not!"
During the speech, the dusk breeze brushed the ends of his hair, blowing a few strands of black hair flying, adding a bit of rebelliousness to his beautiful face, making him appear to be full of vigor and wanton publicity.
He looked at Guan Yubai for a moment, and his firm eyes seemed to say that since they had come to southern Xinjiang, he would not let Guan Yubai have any scruples, and he would not let him be like a cage again. swallowed like a bird.
The sky and the earth in southern Xinjiang are big, so you can gallop freely!
The corners of Guan Yubai's lips curved slowly, and he didn't say anything else. At this time, any words he used seemed a bit empty, he just had to remember Xiao Yi's heart.
On the contrary, Xiao Si rarely gave Xiao Yi a good look, and thought: Although this Xiao Shizi is not reliable in any way, he still has some advantages occasionally, just like his gray eagle.
The next moment, Gray Eagle's familiar cry came from the air in front of him, Han Yu immediately responded excitedly, flapped his wings and flew towards Gray Eagle, Xiao Si's face that had just calmed down suddenly turned black again.
Xiao Yi laughed and said, "Xiao Bai, Xiao Hui has come to take us home."
Then the two got on their horses again, and this time, they went straight back to Zhennan Palace.
After making an appointment with Guan Yubai to go to Ting Yu Pavilion for dinner at night, the two broke up at Yimen, one returned to Qingyunwu, and the other naturally returned to Bixiaotang.
"Ah Yue!" Xiao Yi entered the house excitedly, deliberately hid the whip behind his back, and asked impatiently, "Guess what I brought you?"
Seeing that the son of the world looked like he was about to offer a treasure, Huamei held back a smile and quietly withdrew.
Nangong Yue, who was leaning on the beauty's couch, put down the booklet in her hand, and was about to get up, when Xiao Yi hurried over, pushed her back, and brought the whip to her, and asked expectantly: "Do you like it? "
In fact, no matter what Xiao Yi gave her, she would like it very much, because every time Xiao Yi gave her a gift, he put a lot of thought into it.
Nangong Yue took the whip and looked at it carefully, such as this whip, as soon as she held it in her hand, she knew that Xiao Yi didn't buy it just because it looked good, but made it specially for her in advance.
Nangong Yue felt as if she was bathing in a hot spring, feeling warm.
She showed a bright smile and said, "I'll use this new whip when it's time for the spring hunting."
Xiao Yi was very satisfied, and sat down beside her, his arms naturally wrapped around her slender waist.
Nangong Yue leaned on him, and looked at the whip in her hand. This whip was made extremely delicate, and even the texture of the whip was special. It was different from ordinary whips. It was light and light to hold, very suitable for girls.
Ah Yi knows how to pick things!
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue's eyes were shining brightly, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
Xiao Yi naturally saw Nangong Yue's liking, and felt elated.
His vision is naturally the best, starting from the stupid cat at home, none of the gifts he gave did not fit Ah Yue's wishes! When the set of jewelry she ordered is finished, Ah Yue will wear the whole set of riding clothes, jewelry, and this riding whip. It will definitely look great!
Xiao Yi was complacent, and the next moment he saw a magnified pretty face.
"Ayi, what the hell are you planning?" Nangong Yue stood on tiptoe and approached his face, staring into his eyes and asked.
"What the hell can I come up with?!" Xiao Yi blinked innocently, and quickly kissed the corner of her mouth, "I was just wondering if we should go to Yuge to say hello to my grandfather? I asked Xiaobai to have dinner with my grandfather."
Without changing his face, he tried to divert Nangong Yue's attention.
Nangong Yue looked at him with a smile, and she could tell what kind of tricks he was playing at a glance. She was about to ask again, but she heard the sound of picking the curtain.
Huamei stepped into the room quickly, her expression looked very anxious, Nangong Yue's heart sank when she saw it, and she had a faint sense of foreboding.
"My lord, my concubine. The fifth girl fell into the water in Wanxin Lake." Hua Mei frowned and said quickly.
Xiao Rongyu fell into the water? ! Nangong Yue's complexion changed, Xiao Rongyu is the only daughter of Concubine Wei, Concubine Wei has always taken good care of her, although the child is playful, but she is always accompanied by a nanny and maid, how could she fall into the water? !
"What's the matter? How is Miss Yu?" Nangong Yue asked, without waiting for her answer, she simply stood up and said, "Forget it, take me there to see."
Xiao Yi frowned, very unhappy.
There are always dirty things in this palace, he might as well stay in Heyu City with the stinky girl!
He stood up and said, "Ah Yue, I'll go there with you."
Huamei responded, and led the two masters to the small garden of the palace.
The small garden is still colorful and charming, but at this moment, no one is in the mood to enjoy the flowers, and there is a lot of noise around.
Many servants had heard about the five girls falling into the water, and they ran towards Yuanxin Lake one after another. Just by looking at the trend of the crowd, they would know where the incident happened.
The closer you get to Yuanxin Lake, the more people surround you, and the crowds are crowded round and round.
Those maids and women whispered to each other, with different expressions, some were anxious, some were surprised, some were frightened... Seeing the arrival of the Shi Ziye and Shi Zifei, everyone hurriedly saluted.
For a moment, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi became the focus of everyone's attention.
After scanning the crowd, Xiao Yi said calmly, "What are you all doing here?!"
None of the servants in the Hefu knew that the Shizi had a surly temper and was not easy to be fooled. There was a sudden silence all around, and a little maid swallowed nervously, stepped forward boldly, and said: "Shizi, Shizifei!" , the fifth girl fell into the water just now, and she has been rescued..."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The girl's hasty cough interrupted the little maid's words, and those servants seemed to have reacted now, and retreated to the two sides spontaneously, making way for Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue winked at Baihui, but the latter did not follow, but stood still and scolded: "Fifth girl fell into the water, what are you doing around here, are there any rules, today..."
The servants did not dare to say much, and stood with their heads bowed in fear.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi walked up to Wanxin Lake, the lake was sparkling, and they saw Concubine Wei knelt on the ground nervously, holding Xiao Rongyu who was all wet in her arms, and her nanny Qiu Niang patted her looking at her back.
"Ahem..." Xiao Rongyu violently coughed up a lot of water, and a grey-clothed woman beside her said loudly, "It's good to cough up the water, and everything will be fine if the water is coughed up."
Hearing this, Xiao Rongyu's maids and wives who served her personally felt a big stone in their hearts: as long as the fifth girl is fine, otherwise their lives will be lost.
After Xiao Rongyu spat out another big mouthful of water, she finally recovered a bit, and her breathing became much more stable.
The wet red dress on her body was tight to her body, her hair and clothes were still dripping, her round face looked as pale as paper, her big black eyes were wet, she looked like a bird that had strayed into a trap Poor little deer.
As long as people are safe and sound.
Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to step forward, when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eyes, with a graceful figure, and the other party's rose-red dress was also soaked, as if it had been fished out of the water.
Nangong Yue frowned, thoughtful.
This is…
Why is Aunt Mei here
