As the sun gradually set in the west, Xiao Yi finally returned to Bixiao Hall from the camp in Luoyue City.
King Zhennan waited and waited in his outer study, and finally he waited for the Nizi to come back. The anger in his heart had rushed to his forehead after brewing this afternoon.
Hearing that Xiao Yi came back from the servant, King Zhennan was so angry that he grabbed a white jade paperweight on the desk with his right hand, and instinctively wanted to throw it towards the door curtain.
Unexpectedly, the moment the door curtain was lifted, it was discovered that not only the Nizi, but also——
His precious golden grandson!
Zhennan Wang was stunned for a moment, almost slipping his hands, and quickly put down the paperweight in his hand, secretly thankful that he reacted quickly enough, otherwise if the paperweight hit his golden grandson, he would feel so sorry for him!
Xiao Yi glanced at King Zhennan's right hand with a half-smile but not a smile, and casually sat down on the armchair at the side with his brat in his arms.
Xiao Xiaoyu skillfully jumped off his father's lap, and after greeting his grandfather, he happily explored adventures in the study.
The little guy often came to play with his grandfather, and he was very familiar with every nook and cranny here. He opened the box in the corner by himself, took out all kinds of toys in it, and started playing.
King Zhennan glanced at his precious grandson, barely suppressing his anger, fearing that he would accidentally scare his grandson. He tried his best to lower his voice and asked, "Nizi, what did you do?!"
Zhennan Wang's tone was quite peaceful, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Yi viciously.
"Father, how do you say that without beginning and end?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, with an innocent expression on his face.
When King Zhennan saw Xiao Yi's expression, he became furious. Doesn't he know this daring and rebellious son? !
Over the years, this rebellious son has done a lot of tossing behind his back——
Quietly attacked the three kingdoms of Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye;
Quietly took down the 10,000 Dayu troops sent by the late emperor;
Quietly announced the independence of South Korea!
Every time, when he questioned this Nizi, he would always say "it's no big deal". What the hell did this rebellious son eat in his mother's womb
Zhennan Wang took a deep breath and said to himself, to be more serious with this rebellious son would be to piss him off!
The King of Zhennan simply made his words clear: "Today, Wang Yushi, the envoy sent by the new emperor, came to the capital and said that the emperor invited me to the capital to 'assist the government'!"
The last word "auxiliary government" was said by King Zhennan with gnashing of teeth.
Xiao Yi responded lightly, and asked casually, "Then what do you mean, father?"
The King of Zhennan gave Xiao Yi a hard look, this rebellious son just wanted him to go to the capital to "assist the government", didn't he? !
"What auxiliary government?!" Zhennan King sneered mockingly, stood up suddenly, and said irritably, "This king thinks that the auxiliary government is fake, and it is true that he wants to hold this king in the capital as a hostage!"
At that time, the first emperor kept this rebellious son in the capital as a hostage, and he was willing to let him go back to southern Xinjiang; later, he finally had a grandson in the southern palace, and the first emperor wanted his golden grandson to go to the capital as a hostage; they resisted the decree Later, the first emperor used the crown princess as a bait to make up his own daughter's idea.
Now that the first emperor finally passed away, it's the new emperor's turn to learn and look after himself!
These two emperors are really father and son, exactly the same!
insidious, deep, cunning, suspicious
King Zhennan cursed in his heart, this is really endless, Emperor Dayu intends to keep an eye on the people in the Prince Zhennan Mansion forever!
Thinking about it, Zhennan Wang let out a long sigh: "Hey—"
"If you don't want to go, don't go." Xiao Yi twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, poured himself a cup of warm tea, and drank it on his own. His father is really capable of thinking wildly, why didn't he write a playbook!
"How can it be so simple!" Zhennan Wang said angrily, walking back and forth sighing, as if mourning his concubine.
This rebellious son is really rare, and he doesn't think about the consequences of rejecting the new emperor!
Now that the new emperor is thinking about him, if he doesn't follow suit, wouldn't the new emperor's next goal be the second child in the womb of the concubine Shizi? What's more, the new emperor sent troops to the south in a fit of anger? !
Hey, since I am the king of Zhennan, I can only sacrifice myself for the sake of southern border!
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more he felt heavy in his heart. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to wait for him after he went to the capital with Wang Yushi. !
Lock yourself up? !
Or, chronically poison yourself? !
or
Zhennan Wang shivered shiveringly, a chill ran down his back, he sighed again, with a tragic look on his face that he was about to go to the battlefield!
"Grandfather" Xiao Xiaoyu heard his grandfather's sigh, ran over in a hurry, and handed the Jiulianhuan to his grandfather.
The little guy looked at his grandfather unblinkingly with big eyes like black grapes, and tiptoed to send Jiu Lianhuan up, "Play."
What he meant was, grandfather, this is for you to play, don't be sad!
King Zhennan's heart melted into water when Jinsun watched him. He smiled lovingly and took Jiulianhuan. He thought that his grandson asked him for help because he couldn't untie Nine Chains, so he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
Sure enough, in Bao Jinsun's mind, his grandfather is much more reliable than his father!
Zhennan Wang glanced at Xiao Yi pretentiously, a wonderful sense of satisfaction suddenly rose in his heart, and he said with a smile: "Brother Yu, come, grandpa will help you solve it!"
King Zhennan sat down again, hugged Xiao Yu to his knees, and then slowly and step by step demonstrated to Xiao Jinsun how to untie the Nine Chains.
Seeing the grandparent and grandson ecstatically playing Jiu Lianhuan, Xiao Yi thought that he had nothing to do with himself anyway, so he just patted his ass and ran away, leaving his son and returning to Bixiaotang.
Nangong Yue was sewing a bellyband for her second child in the Dongci room. Seeing Xiao Yi's return, she put aside the half-made needlework.
"Ah Yi." She looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.
Nangong Yue's fetus has been five months old, her abdomen is slightly bulging, but her body is still thin, it seems that the flesh has grown to her belly.
Xiao Yi's heart aches every day when he looks at her, wishing he could tie a rope around her waist, lest she be blown away by the wind like a paper kite.
He bowed his head tenderly and kissed her on the cheek before sitting down beside her.
"Brother Yu is with my father?"
Nangong Yue asked casually, but saw Xiao Yi's face darken instantly, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at her quietly like a resentful woman, as if she was complaining, Ah Yue, why did you just ask that brat in the first sentence? ? !
Nangong Yue hurriedly picked up half an orange on the table, stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth, and blocked his mouth.
The oranges in this season are sweet, reaching Xiao Yi's heart.
He curled his lips into a smile, satisfied, and told her about being called to the outer study by the King of Zhennan just now, and by the way, he also talked about the anecdotes between Wang Yushi and King Zhennan, which made Nangong Yue dumbfounded. On the one hand, she marveled at Zhennan Wang's ability to think wildly, and on the other hand, she also sighed at the current situation of Dayu Dynasty Hall. If she guessed right, Wang Yushi might really come to invite Zhennan King to assist the king's government.
In fact, Xiao Yi had received a letter from Feige from Wangdu as early as the middle of last month, knowing that Dayu would send envoys to southern Xinjiang.
According to the secret letter, on the morning of November 11th, the courtiers caught off guard and asked the new emperor to marry a wife and make a queen as soon as possible. The proposed queen was Xiao Fei. Yu and Nanjiang became good friends in Qin and Jin Dynasties. At that time, although all the ministers agreed in unison, the new emperor did not agree, and resolutely refused in the name of keeping filial piety.
However, the courtiers refused to give up. The road was blocked, so they immediately changed their course.
On November 12th, they justly stated in the Golden Luan Hall that the southern border army was an army of tigers and wolves. Although the Zhennan Palace had no intention of attacking Dayu in the north for the time being, there was no guarantee of what would happen in the future, so Dayu must not be alienated from the Zhennan Palace. ..
All the officials agreed, and later, some courtiers proposed to invite Zhennan King to come to the capital to assist in the administration, so as to show their goodwill to Southern Xinjiang.
The new emperor refused again, unwilling to be flattering and humble to Nanjiang. However, those courtiers seemed to have been prepared, singing one by one, and speaking generously, showing that they understood the new emperor's filial piety and did not want to be filial to marry a wife. As the Emperor of Dayu, the new emperor still needs to put the country and the country first. They also persuaded the new emperor to endure the humiliation and so on on the basis of "repenting on salary and tasting courage" and "Han Xin's humiliation under the crotch".
At that time, all the officials bowed to the ground and refused to get up for a long time.
As a last resort, the new emperor had no choice but to succumb, so Wang Yushi made this trip to southern Xinjiang.
At that time, after Xiao Yi read the secret letter, he thought it was a joke. After burning the secret letter, he forgot it in a blink of an eye until King Zhennan talked about "assisting the government" with him just now, and he didn't think of it.
Xiao Yi casually said again: "Ah Yue, I will send the envoy of the king's capital, you don't have to worry about it."
During the conversation, seeing that half of the orange in Nangong Yue's hand had been eaten, Xiao Yi immediately grabbed another orange from the fruit plate, peeled the orange for her attentively, cleaned the tangerine carefully, and fed it to her mouth side, looking at her with a smile.
His implication is, don't worry about your father.
Nangong Yue, who was eating oranges, nodded her head like pounding garlic, and obediently responded, feeling helpless, her heart was sweet: With Ah Yi here, what else does she have to worry about!
She quickly put those things in the capital behind her mind.
Since Xiao Yi returned to southern Xinjiang in early October, he has taken care of her like a porcelain doll every day, wishing she would not even walk
In fact, since last month, she has been much better, she no longer has morning sickness, and her appetite has improved, but for some reason, except for her stomach, her body is not growing, so that Bi Xiaotang looks at her like a sick person. Be careful.
Xiao Yi looked at the cute and well-behaved appearance of his eldest concubine, and felt his hands itch. He stretched out his hand to rub the top of her hair, and also messed up the braid on her head, which made the corners of the eyes of the attendants Thrush and Queer twitch .
Xiao Yi leaned over and kissed Nangong Yue's lips, and said: "Ah Yue, let's rest early tonight, and go out tomorrow to relax!"
As Xiao Yi said, there was a bit of complacency between his brows and eyes, and he felt that his idea was really the best of both worlds.
In the past few months, Nangong Yue has been staying in Bixiaotang in order to raise her baby, and the first four months were very difficult, but now she has finally recovered, so Xiao Yi thought about taking her out to relax, A winter hunt was specially arranged.
In this way, he can also naturally accompany his concubine, saving her from always driving him to the camp in Luoyue City.
Because it was just to relax, the place Xiao Yi chose was not far away, it was Wanqing Mountain in the suburbs of Luoyue City. In addition to their family of three, he also invited Guan Yubai and some generals to join in the fun. The people who went on this trip were all young people, so he could save those entertainment and red tape
They hadn't gone out for a long time, and the maids such as Huamei and Haitang were also very excited. They took care of all the preparations for the trip, and they hardly let Nangong Yue worry about it.
This night, in the mood of the maids' excited anticipation, passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, Bi Xiaotang woke up earlier than usual.
The genius was bright, and a group of carriages and horses were already on standby at Dongyi Gate. During this journey, Nangong Yue, who was pregnant, naturally couldn't ride a horse, so she took a carriage with Xiao Fei and Yuan Yuyi.
As for little Xiao Yu, he was taken by his father to ride a horse. Along the way, he heard the little guy excitedly commanding his father, saying "quickly" repeatedly!
It's a pity that no matter how fast they are, they are still riding horses, not as fast as Xiaohui and Hanyu. Shuangying is basically far ahead all the way, unless occasionally they fly in the wrong direction and have to turn around again
In a lively atmosphere, chariots and horses from various prefectures gathered outside the gate of Luoyue City, and then continued south all the way, the team was mighty
When they came to Wanqing Mountain, which was more than 20 miles away from Luoyue City, it was not yet noon, and the warm golden sun hung high in the blue sky, and the temperature in the mountains and forests was very comfortable.
In December, the king's capital in the north has long been covered with ice and snow, but the Wanqing Mountain in the southern border is still lush and green, the air is fresh, and the winter is as warm as spring, as if spring has entered ahead of schedule.
Nangong Yue's carriage was specially modified, and it drove very steadily all the way. Although she was a little tired, she didn't get motion sickness.
With Baihui's support, she got out of the carriage, and at a glance, she found that the camps around the hunting ground had been set up in advance, and the big tents in the middle were surrounded like stars and moons.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains and forests, Nangong Yue couldn't help being refreshed, and took a deep breath of the fresh air around her.
"Mother!" The little guy was in better spirits than his mother, and when he saw his mother get off the carriage, he jumped at her pomegranate skirt excitedly, and dragged her to their tent.
"Mother, Xiaoyun." Xiaotuanzi solemnly introduced his little friend, a white pony, to Nangong Yue.
Then, the little guy took out a piece of red candy the size of a longan from a purse embroidered with an orange cat, and put his hand to the little pony's mouth.
The docile little pony swallowed the candy in two or three bites, and shook the long white ponytail behind him.
Nangong Yue blinked slowly, looking at the harmonious people and horses in front of her.
Recently, when Xiao Yi went to the camp in Luoyue City, he always brought little Xiao Yu with him, and he also confidently claimed that he couldn't make a brat into a girl's family.
After thinking about it, Nangong Yue felt that it made some sense. It didn't seem too good for the boy to stay with the maids and women in the inner courtyard all day, so she went with Xiao Yi. Furthermore, Xiao Yi is often not at home, and she also wants the father and son to get closer. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the little guy even has his own pony.
If it takes another ten days and a half a month, is it time for this guy, A Yi, to teach Brother Yu how to learn martial arts? !
Nangong Yue couldn't help but cast a quick glance at Xiao Yi, there was an indescribable taste in her eyes
Xiao Yi smiled contentedly, his white skin was shining brightly in the sun, and he showed off: "How can a general not know how to ride a horse?!"
He rubbed his chin triumphantly, "Ah Yue, let's give the brat a pony and let it grow up with the brat, so that their relationship will be good!"
Hearing his plausible words, Nangong Yue was almost convinced by him, thinking that her little guy has liked animals since he was born. He likes cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits very much.
The Xiao family's children all grew up on horseback, and it seemed good to raise a pony for the little guy.
As soon as this idea came up, Nangong Yue heard Xiao Yi continue happily: "From now on, Xiaoyun will be the brat's horse, and he will feed, brush and walk Xiaoyun's horse. That's right!"
Several servant girls looked at each other, the corners of their eyes twitched, and they looked sympathetically at the little grandson who was smiling without worry. With a father like Shizi Ye, the future of the grandson must be bumpy!
Nangong Yue was also a little speechless. Little Xiao Yu is not yet two years old, and his father demands him by the standards of a lieutenant. Is this really appropriate? !
Nangong Yue was about to say something when she heard a brisk chatter and laughter from not far behind her. Seven or eight young princes in brocade clothes and jade robes strode towards this side talking and laughing, most of them were familiar faces, such as Yu Xiu Fan, Chang Huaixi, Yan Xijun, Third Young Master Hua and others.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Yu Xiufan greeted the two with a smile, and invited them loudly, "We are going to go hunting in the mountains, brother, you can go with us too!"
These young people are full of energy, and there is no trace of fatigue on their young faces.
Thinking that they will enter the mountain soon, they are all eager to try.
Winter hunting is hunting, and today must be a good harvest!
Xiao Yi waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Little Fan, go play on your own! I have a wife!"
The implication is that he wants to be with his concubine, but he has no time to play with a group of bachelors.
Yu Xiufan was still smiling, patted his chest boldly, and said, "Brother, then you stay here with your sister-in-law and nephew, what do you want to eat, I'll hunt for you, brother!"
Who knows, Xiao Yi patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Fanzi, it's not your turn yet!"
Hearing this sentence, several young people looked at each other in dismay, full of doubts.
Suddenly, Yu Xiufan's ears moved, as if he sensed something, he quickly moved a step to the left.
Almost in the next moment, a gray shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and with a "boom", a dead badger appeared at Yu Xiufan's feet.
Several young people looked up subconsciously, and saw the gray eagle and the white eagle hovering in the sky above, the gray eagle cast a cold and proud look at the crowd, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
The surroundings were silent for a moment, until Yu Xiufan let out a burst of laughter, he leaned forward and back from laughing, and almost burst into tears.
"Brother, I almost forgot, you are a man with eagles!"
Meeting Xiao Yi's triumphant eyes, Yu Xiufan was convinced, waved his arms, and beckoned his brothers to leave.
Nangong Yue watched them leave, and when she thought of the fate between Yu Xiufan and Yuan Yuyi, the corner of her mouth smiled a little bit.
Those young people came here in a hurry, and then went into the mountain laughing and laughing, the laughter and the sound of horseshoes gradually faded away
In contrast, Xiao Yi's itinerary was much more leisurely. First, he took Nangong Yue's mother and son into the tent to eat, and the family of three took a nap for a while before leaving their tent leisurely.
Little Xiao Yu hadn't fully woken up yet, and was yawning lazily in Xiao Yi's arms, like a little lazy cat.
It was not yet Shen Shi, the sun was slanting towards the west, and the sunlight passed through the thick branches and leaves, casting all kinds of strange mottled light and shadows. Just looking at it like this, my heart calmed down.
"Ayi, we"
Nangong Yue originally wanted to suggest going into the mountain for a walk, but halfway through speaking, her voice stopped abruptly, and her eyes were attracted by the front right.
In the northwest corner of the camp, there is an ancient tree that can only be embraced by three or four people. It is at least hundreds of years old.
Under the huge shade of the old tree, there are several big tables at the moment. Beside one of them, there are seven or eight girls around. They all focus on the big table in the middle, pointing and whispering.
At a glance, Nangong Yue saw two familiar slender figures among the girls, wearing water-green and pink-purple riding outfits respectively, they were Xiao Fei and Yuan Yuyi.
Nangong Yue changed her mind and said, "A Yi, let's go and have a look."
Xiao Yi nodded kindly, and the young couple walked towards the girls with the little guy.
When they walked three or four zhang away, a round-faced girl in yellow riding clothes saw them and hurriedly saluted, "Master, concubine, grandson."
Several other girls also looked at Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, and saluted one after another.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei and Yuan Yuyi, and said with a smile: "Sister Fei, Sister Yi, what are you looking at, so engrossed?"
"Sister-in-law, I drew a picture just now." Xiao Fei said as she turned sideways to give Nangong Yue a gap, "Just now Xiaohui stopped on this ancient tree. I can’t stop drawing it, but”
Xiao Fei frowned slightly as she spoke, Yuan Yuyi said, "Yue'er, we all think that Sister Fei draws vividly, but she herself feels that there is something wrong"
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows with great interest, and also looked at the painting on the big red lacquered wooden case.
"Hui Hui!" Little Xiao Yu in Xiao Yi's arms pointed at the gray eagle on the drawing paper, and shouted excitedly. His whole body was refreshed, and all the sleepy bugs ran away immediately.
On a large piece of off-white rice paper, a vigorous gray eagle was lying alone on a twisted and stretched old branch, its two claws were like hooks, clutching the branch tightly. The thin feathers on the underside of an eagle's wing. The eagle is neatly painted and lifelike. The old branches are rough and finely dyed, showing a vigorous quality. The eagle and the tree can be said to be dense and dense.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but praise, Xiaofei often painted little gray in the palace, and now this eagle painting is very vivid, but
"There seems to be something missing," Nangong Yue murmured.
Hearing what Nangong Yue said, Xiao Fei looked at her eagerly, her eyes sparkling, and said: "Sister-in-law, you think so too?!" The sister-in-law really has a tacit understanding with her!
Nangong Yue nodded thoughtfully, she didn't notice that the corners of Xiao Yi's eyes twitched.
This Xiao Fei, it's okay to make Ah Yue feel sad! Xiao Yi thought unhappily in his heart, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eyes, and his thoughts moved.
"Xiaobai!" Xiao Yi raised his voice and shouted towards a tent on the left front.
Not far away, a young man wearing a tea-white robe happened to come out of the camp. He was refined and refined, and he was the official language white.
Guan Yubai came after hearing the sound, and Xiaosi followed behind him step by step as usual.
Xiao Tuanzi in Xiao Yi's arms raised his head from the painting, greeted his adoptive father with a smile, and the girls on the side also greeted Guan Yubai one by one.
"Xiao Bai," Xiao Yi pulled Guan Yubai to his side with his free left hand, and said with a smile, "How about taking a look at Xiao Fei's painting? What is missing?"
Guan Yubai also looked at the picture of the eagle and the old tree, a gleam of light flickered in his warm eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Guan Yubai's expression was only a slight change, and Xiao Yi guessed that he was confident, and said coolly from the side: "Xiao Bai, just say it straight."
It was rare for Xiao Fei to agree with Xiao Yi's words, and said seriously: "Master Hou, please advise!" Although she has only played a few games of chess with Guan Yubai, at least she can be sure that Marquis An Yi is much more reliable than her brother!
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, picked up the Langhao brush with his left hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Miss Xiao, then I will take the liberty of adding a few strokes for you."
Both Xiao Fei and Yuan Yuyi stepped aside a little, leaving Guan Yubai the position directly in front of the big case.
The girls watching looked at each other with great interest, is An Yihou going to change the painting on the spot? Or change it with your left hand
However, isn't the official family a general? !
Xiao Fei's painting skills are among the best in southern Xinjiang. If the painting skills of the person who changed the painting is inferior, it would be a bit of a disappointment. The girls communicated silently with their eyes.
Guan Yubai was stained with ink, so he did not hesitate to write in the lower right corner of the drawing paper. His strokes were very smooth, and he outlined the outline of a pheasant with just a few strokes, supplemented by ink and ink.
Guan Yubai drew calmly, and the others didn't dare to disturb him, so they whispered in their ears.
Occasionally, a gust of mountain wind blows slowly, causing the branches and leaves of the ancient trees above to sway endlessly, "russling" quietly and far away.
The movement under the old tree also attracted other people in the camp. One after another, more people ran over to watch. Everyone put an index finger on their lips and made a "shh" gesture to signal The others fell silent.
In the tranquility, this big red lacquered wooden case is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
After a while, Guan Yubai, who was in the center of the crowd, took the last sum and put down the wolf hair in his hand.
But Xiao Fei didn't seem to realize it, her jet-black eyes were still staring at the painting on the case without blinking, and her beautiful side face was very focused.
After a while, Xiao Fei uttered a word: "Wonderful!"
Others are also looking at the painting.
The hawk on the branch is still the same gray hawk, without any modifications, An Yihou only added a few clumps of wild grass and a pheasant in the lower right corner of the painting.
The pheasant ran away in a panic among the grass, its round eyes looked towards the branch, just in time to meet the cold eagle eyes of the gray eagle on the branch, at that moment, the frightened expression of the pheasant vividly appeared on the paper .
After having this pheasant, everyone discovered that the gray eagle's eagle eyes were actually looking down. Its eyes were careless, with the aloofness of a king. On the contrary, the eyes of the pheasant below were panic-stricken. distinct.
Between the pitches, the heroic posture of the eagle can be said to be unobstructed, and the look is excellent.
What's more, the painting also has a kind of chilling air!
What Xiao Fei said was right, this painting was really "wonderfully" modified.
Chang Huanwei said with emotion: "I saw the addition of this panicky pheasant, the eagle seems to be more vigorous and fierce! The painting has also become more vivid." But it is obviously the same eagle!
"That's right." The Hua girl on the side nodded thoughtfully and said, "Maybe it means that where there is weakness, there must be strength, and where there is good, there must be evil." After comparison, the winner can be determined.
Everyone also tasted a bit of artistic conception. After expressing their opinions in one go, the boys and girls who were watching began to slowly disperse.
At this time, Xiao Fei, who had been standing still for a long time, was finally willing to look away from the painting, raised her eyes to look at Guan Yubai, with a strange brilliance on her face, and said seriously: "Master Hou, this painting has been done by you After changing it, it’s really a new look! Master Hou not only has superb chess skills, but also extraordinary painting skills, which really amazes me!”
Xiao Fei's "sigh" is from the heart.
She also knew that Guan Yubai was the son of a general. Although he looked refined and scholarly now, he was once a young general who ruled the battlefield and defended the country.
Guan Yubai is truly capable of both civil and military skills!
Xiao Fei's clear eyes were full of sincerity and admiration, and his eyes were as innocent as a child's.
"Miss Xiao, you're being polite." Guan Yubai smiled lightly.
As soon as the words fell, the little guy in Xiao Yi's arms approached excitedly, looking at Guan Yubai earnestly, "Father, Huihui!"
Guan Yubai couldn't help laughing, and was about to explain that the painting was not his, when Xiao Fei said with a smile, "Brother Yu, how about giving this painting to you?"
Xiao Xiao Yu's big eyes suddenly brightened like jewels, he nodded desperately, and replied: "Hello, Auntie!"
Xiao Fei gently rubbed the top of little Xiao Yu's hair, Yuan Yuyi came over and rubbed it too, and then said to Nangong Yue: "Yue'er, we made an appointment with Sister Fei before she finished painting, we Let’s go for a horse ride together.”
"Sister Fei, sister Yi, hurry up before it gets dark." Nangong Yue urged with a smile, watching Xiao Fei, Yuan Yuyi and the other four girls go away chatting and laughing.
The purpose of this winter hunt was to let the young people come out to relax, so it would be good for Xiao Fei to make more like-minded friends by taking advantage of this.
The silver-like laughter of the girls went away, and the camp became quiet, only Xiao Yi's family of three and Guan Yubai remained here.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi's original plan to go for a walk was completely ruined. Xiao Xiaoyu got the painting from her aunt, and now she can't look away at all. She keeps calling "Huihui" and feels uneasy in Xiao Yi's arms. He twisted his body a little bit.
Xiao Yi was so disturbed that he simply put the little guy on the big table and let him lie on it and look at his paintings.
Nangong Yue sat down on a rose chair, and Xiao Yi poured tea and water for her graciously, as if there were no maids standing by.
"Little Four" Guan Yubai sat down behind another big table next to him and made a gesture.
Xiao Si presented several branches and a dagger.
Guan Yubai tried to bend every branch unhurriedly, finally picked one out of them, then held the branch with his right hand, and peeled off the bark with the dagger in his left hand
knife after knife
Seeing the messy bark falling one after another, Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, seemed to be thinking, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xiaobai, are you making a bow?"
Xiao Yi's tone sounded suspicious, but the expression on his face was very certain.
Xiao Yi also made bows with his own hands, and his grandfather taught him how to make bows when he was young.
Judging from the thickness and length of the branch Guan Yubai chose, Xiao Yi can be sure that what Guan Yubai intends to make is a small bow.
It goes without saying who this little bow is for.
Xiao Yi flicked Xiao Yu's forehead with his finger, and jokingly said: "You brat is lucky!"
Nangong Yue also had to agree, but it wasn't true, his father just gave him a pony yesterday, and today his adoptive father made him a small bow, and the hunting equipment was amazing.
Afterwards, the surroundings were quiet, only the voice of the wind talking to the four of them sounded from time to time
As the sun slowly sank to the west, the golden sunlight also dimmed, and there was a faint coolness in the mountain wind.
After several processes, the small bow in Guan Yubai's hand began to take shape, which also attracted Xiao Xiao Yu's attention.
When Guan Yubai started to string the little bow, the little guy finally couldn't hold back, and crawled over to Guan Yubai from the big case, looking at Guan Yubai with piercing eyes.
In the past two months, the little guy often went to the military camp with Xiao Yi, so he naturally recognized it as a bow and arrow. He watched his adoptive father turn an ordinary tree branch into a small bow today with his own eyes, and he couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes.
Guan Yubai carefully polished the body of the bow, and then adjusted the string of the bow. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he beckoned to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Xiaoyu immediately crawled up to Guan Yubai excitedly, and looked at him eagerly.
"Brother Yu, after my adoptive father makes this little bow, I'll give it to you, okay?" Guan Yubai looked at the little guy with a smile. The innocent and cute appearance of the little guy makes people feel involuntary. Lighten up.
"Okay." Xiao Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, knowing that he would have a new toy soon.
He was overjoyed, and hurriedly closed his mouth, "baji", and kissed his adoptive father on the cheek to express his joy.
Although Guan Yubai sensed the little guy's movements, he didn't dare to resist, his whole body stiffened as if he had been frozen instantly.
It was rare to see Guan Yubai's bewildered look, and Xiao Yi laughed unceremoniously.
Little Xiao Yu still couldn't figure out the situation, so he looked at his father for a while, his mother for a while, and his adoptive father for a while, and smiled foolishly.
The atmosphere in the camp was relaxed and cheerful, and at the same time, the sun began to set.
But the camp was getting more and more lively. The young masters who went hunting in the mountains during the day came back from the mountains and forests in twos and threes.
These sons are all generals' disciples, most of them have already found jobs in the army like Yu Xiufan and the others, each of them is naturally very skilled in archery, and returned with a full load of prey.
As people returned one after another, there were more and more people in the camp, and more and more prey were piled up. The hares, wild badgers, wild wolves, wild boars, and pheasants began to have a strong bloody smell around them.
The setting sun continued to sink, and without knowing it, most of it had already set, and the western sky was covered with colorful clouds. A huge bonfire and torches were lit in the camp, illuminating the entire camp as if it were daytime.
The sky gradually dimmed, and a faint silver moon could be seen in the sky
Seeing that the sky was about to completely darken, Nangong Yue began to feel a little uneasy, and looked towards the direction of the forest from time to time.
Yuan Yuyi, Xiao Fei and the others haven't come back yet
Xiao Yi immediately ordered and sent dozens of people up the mountain to search for traces of Xiao Fei, Yuan Yuyi, Chang Huanwei and the others.
The footsteps of the soldiers faded away, and the sunset finally set completely
Many young men and girls in the camp also heard the news that there were still people who hadn't returned, and the atmosphere gradually became serious.
After another stick of incense, there was noise and commotion from the direction of the mountain forest, and the sound of horseshoes came towards the direction of the camp, rumbling.
There was also a commotion in the camp, saying that the soldiers who went looking for people escorted several girls back.
But when Nangong Yue met Yuan Yuyi's hasty eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
"Yue'er, send someone to find Sister Fei quickly! She has lost us!" Yuan Yuyi stepped forward quickly, and anxiously grabbed Nangong Yue's hand, her delicate body trembling slightly.
After the words fell, there was a dead silence all around, and time seemed to freeze at this moment!
