Chapter 23 Assassination
Haven’t you seen the national teacher? Why are you still going to be a chicken?
Danyi gritted her teeth and rubbed the Yuxiao on her waist with her thumb. After returning to the palace, she had to go to talk to Lan Qinghan, and at least correct the title of "chicken".
The national teacher, Lan Jiangxue, whose courtesy name is Qinghan, is now staring at the new clothes on the clothes hanger in the Zhaixing Pavilion.
The outer cover made of three layers of light veils emits a fluorescent light under the moonlight. The complex and gorgeous cloud patterns appear and disappear from time to time on the hem of the three-foot-foot-sleeved clothes. It is really a very beautiful dress.
"Are you satisfied?" Lan Shanyu stood next to the clothes hanger and asked him with a smile.
"Ah--" The national teacher sneezes.
"What's wrong?" Lan Shanyu came over and leaned against the low table in front of Lan Jiangxue, with one hand on his chin, "I'm here, who else will think of you?"
Legend has it that someone is thinking about it when he sneezes.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Shanyu sneezes: "It's over, it must be the young master who is thinking about us. Have you made any mistakes these days?"
It is indeed someone who is thinking about Lan Shanyu, but it is not Dan Yi.
Linghe walked into the tent with hot water, twisted the hot cloth towel and handed it to Danyi to wipe her face, and whispered: "I have seen the entire hunting ground. The royal guards are very ordinary. Ordinary people cannot enter, but there are still loopholes to take advantage of. In my opinion, it is better to notify the owner of Lan and send some people to come here."
Dan Yi was silent for a moment and slowly shook her head. The Royal Hunting Ground was not an ordinary place. At this time, the escorts from Guiyun Palace came to the royal family. Even if Emperor Zhenglong was weak, he might not be able to withstand this tone.
"Danyi," Chen Ziqi, who had looked at the entire tent, jumped to Danyi and saw him hunting and holding a white jade flute. He was very curious, "I haven't heard you play the song yet, let's play one for me."
Dan Yi waved his hand and asked Linghe to go down and pulled Chen Ziqi to sleep.
"I'm not sleepy, please play a song for me." Chen Ziqi refused to give in.
"...I don't know." Dan Yi said with a cold face.
"No?" Chen Ziqi looked up at him in disbelief.
When he saw Danyi in Tai Chi Palace, he was wearing a breeze dress and a white jade flute hung around his waist, which was graceful, like a fairy child in a painting. Once he held the jade flute tightly, the others were a little scared. At that time, Chen Ziqi felt that the long flute, which was bright and white, must be a very powerful thing.
Perhaps it is a peerless divine weapon, which will make the four orifices bleed when it makes a sound; or perhaps it is an ancient relic, a song that circles the beam and attracts hundreds of birds to pay homage to the phoenix; it is more likely to be a secret code to summon subordinates, and different blowing methods will call different subordinates, such as elders who drive away the Gu, protectors of corpses and corpses.
This is what Jiuru's storytellers say...
However, now Dan Yi actually said, he, no, can, blow!
"I can't blow, what should you do in your waist?" Chen Ziqi closed his wide open mouth and spoke with difficulty. It was like a person carrying an extremely sharp pig-killing knife every day, but in the end he couldn't even cut a piece of pork into reads;
Dan Yi put the jade flute in her hand, looked at the tassels at the end and said expressionlessly: "For the sake of elegance."
Elegant...
Chen Ziqi was stunned for a while, jumped up suddenly, walked around Danyi, tilted his head to look at his face, and turned around again.
"What are you doing?" Dan Yi looked at the guy squatting in front of him, almost squatting with his nose.
"I think I just met you today." Chen Ziqi said seriously.
Danyi: "..."
The grass and trees are short and yellow, and the foxes are fat and the rabbits are fresh. This is a good time for hunting in autumn.
Since ancient times, autumn hunting has been held in all dynasties. Dazhang martial arts is popular, and autumn hunting has become even more grand. Not only hunting, but also martial arts competitions. Royal autumn hunting is a good time for guards to compete in martial arts. If you get a ranking, you will have the opportunity to be promoted.
The important officials in the court basically have a lot of relationships with the major sects. Only the Emperor Guards were trained by the royal family themselves and had nothing to do with any sect. Qiu Lie participated in the competition, basically all of them were from the Jinwu Guards.
Di Yeqing, who has not seen for a long time, is also among them.
On the first day of autumn hunting, Chen Ziqi and the princes watched the battle in the stands, and then they could choose the winning Jinwu Guard to follow him to hunt.
"Brother Di!" Chen Ziqi waved to Di Yeqing.
Di Yeqing stood on the high platform, not knowing if he heard it, but he still looked at the emperor on the stage without looking sideways.
"Who is he?" Dan Yi frowned. She had never seen Chen Ziqi talk to that person these days.
"Di Yeqing, he went to Jiuru Town to pick me up my mother and I to Beijing," Chen Ziqi flattered his mouth, "Why do you ignore me?" This was his first acquaintance in the palace.
"He is the guard of the emperor. If you get close to him, you will kill him." Dan Yi said coldly.
Chen Ziqi suddenly realized: "So that's it, then I won't talk to him in the future."
I thought Chen Ziqi would feel disappointed, but this guy just sighed and continued to watch the competition with great enthusiasm. Dan Yi was a little powerless, and his worries were redundant.
The competition ended soon, and in the end, Di Yeqing took the lead.
When the rankings came out, the princes chose the guards one by one. The top three were naturally asked by the prince. When they were picked up by Chen Ziqi, they would not be able to rank.
Fortunately, the emperor's guards have relatively high martial arts skills, so even if you choose the ones behind, it is enough to protect him in the hunting ground.
"Is there any danger on this mountain?" Chen Ziqi asked the few guards who came to his side.
"When you go back to Your Highness, the hunting ground was cleaned half a month ago. There are no beasts here. Even if there are four people, I will work together to control a bear in just a few breaths. Please rest assured," said Jinwuwei, wearing armor.
When Chen Ziqi heard this, he felt relieved, but Dan Yi frowned.
When hunting, you naturally have to ride a horse. But the young prince doesn’t know how to ride and needs a guard to lead him. Chen Ziqi and Dan Yi both got a horse, short and docile.
Eight guards, two led horses, two followed with bows and arrows, and the other four rode high-headed horses scattered in all corners.
"We have been practicing archery for so long. Today we will compete to see who hunts more, which is better?" The prince said to the brothers. When he spoke, his eyes kept looking at Danyi.
As the crown prince, he needs to win over the Phoenix King reads; Maybe the age difference is too big, Danyi is not interested in him at all, but it doesn't matter, there will always be a solution. This autumn hunting is a good opportunity. Danyi is young and competitive. If she can't hunt enough prey, she can secretly share some of the hunted ones. As a child, she will definitely remember his goodness.
Dan Yi glanced at the prince and thought to himself that this person probably lost to him by shooting archery before, but now he wants to get back the scene, so he agreed.
"Danyi, let's go and beat the pheasant." Chen Ziqi grabbed Xiaoma's ear and was very excited.
"Okay." Dan Yi responded in a warm voice and took Chen Ziqi away.
"I won't be hunted for a while, and he will cry." Wait until Dan Yi left
As he got away, Yao Guangchuang said with a lip of his lips. Since the last time he was beaten by Danyi, he felt a slight pain between his legs when he saw Danyi.
"You have a better attitude towards Dan Yi. In the future, some people will be able to offend him when they seek Guiyun Palace." The prince spoke up to teach the two followers a lesson.
The prince took a group of people to a place with a lot of prey, while the second and third princes waited on the spot for a while.
"Where are we going?" The third prince was ready to go and had a big fight.
"We..." The second prince squinted his eyes and chuckled, looked at the two little guys in the distance, raised his chin, "Follow them."
"Ah?" The third prince was a little puzzled, "What can you play with those two little ones?"
"Didn't you hear the words of the prince?" The second prince put the wrist guards on the arrow sleeve. "In the future, some places in Guiyun Palace will be used, the support of the future Phoenix King and the ten fox furs, which one do you choose?"
So, Chen Ziqi and the others didn't go far, and the second prince and the other two chased him.
"Xiaoqi, where are you going?" the second prince asked with a smile.
"Let's go and fight pheasants." Chen Ziqi waved a bow in his hand.
"Phoenix... It's flat ground here, and there are very few pheasants. I know there is a forest where I picked up a lot of pheasant eggs there last year. Do you want to go and see it?" the second prince said in a gentle voice.
Chen Ziqi narrowed his eyes and looked at the second prince who was attentive and looked at Dan Yi with a cold face: "Dan Yi, do you want to go?"
Dan Yi was looking up at the birds in the sky. At this moment, the sky was clear and the air was peaceful. When she looked at Chen Ziqi, who said "I want a pheasant" all over her eyes, she nodded and responded.
The group walked deep into the forest, and the grass under their feet became higher and higher. The lush gullies of the wild grass were indeed the place that pheasants liked.
"Ga—a—" The crow flew past the woods, making a desolate cry.
Dan Yi suddenly stopped his horse and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ziqi turned to look at him.
Danyi looked up and looked at the birds that suddenly became startled deep in the woods. She grabbed Chen Ziqi to her horse and pulled out the white jade flute from her waist and stood in front of her.
Before the second prince could react, the withered yellow leaves all over the sky were filled with the sound of breaking through the air.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Several guards immediately pulled out their swords from their waists and waved them to block the fallen leaves. The fallen leaves hit the sword, making a crisp sound of "ding ding" sound. The second prince's horse was unfortunately hit and neighed and stood up. Only then did he see clearly that it was not a dead leaf at all, but a hidden weapon made of brass, with a pointed five-cornered and deep flesh.
The frightened horse ran wildly after neighing. The second prince exclaimed and tightly held the reins. Several of his guards rushed to chase him, while the third prince was at a loss.
Two black shadows suddenly emerged from the fallen leaves. Danyi said to Chen Ziqi in her arms, "Hold me up", then tightened the reins, patted the guard's hand holding the horse, turned around and ran away.
Chapter completed!
