www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
As the sun gradually set in the west, Xiao Yi finally returned to Bixiaotang from Luoyue City Camp.
The King of Zhennan waited and waited in his outer study, and finally got the traitor back. The anger in his heart had already rushed to his forehead after brewing all afternoon.
When the young man came to report that Xiao Yi was back, 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, when the door curtain was lifted, it was discovered that the person coming was not only the traitor, but also——
His precious golden grandson!
Zhennan Wang was stunned for a moment, his hand almost slipped, and he quickly put down the paperweight in his hand, secretly glad that he had reacted quickly enough, otherwise if the paperweight had hit his golden grandson, he would have been very distressed!
Xiao Yi glanced at King Zhennan's right hand with half-smiling eyes, and casually sat down on an armchair beside him while holding their brat in his arms.
Little Xiao Yu jumped off his father's knee skillfully, and after greeting his grandfather, he happily explored the study room.
The little guy often comes to play with his grandfather and is very familiar with every corner. He opened the box in the corner, took out the various toys and started playing with it.
King Zhennan glanced at his precious grandson and barely suppressed his anger, fearing that he might accidentally scare him. He tried his best to lower his voice and asked: "Guizi, what on earth did you do again?!"
King Zhennan’s tone was quite calm, but his eyes glared at Xiao Yi fiercely.
"Father, why are you talking so confusingly?" 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 about this audacious traitor? !
Over the years, this traitor has done a lot of trouble behind his back——
Secretly attacked the Three Kingdoms of Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye;
Secretly captured the 10,000 Dayu troops sent by the late emperor;
Quietly announced the independence of southern Xinjiang!
Every time I questioned this treacherous son, he would always act like "it's no big deal." What on earth did this treacherous son have in his mother's womb?
The King of Zhennan took a deep breath and said to himself, being serious with this traitor would make him angry to death!
The King of Zhennan simply made it clear: "Today, Wang Yushi, an envoy sent by the new emperor, came to the royal capital and said that the emperor invited me to go to the royal capital to 'assist in government'!"
The last word "assistant government", King Zhennan said with gritted teeth.
Xiao Yi responded calmly and asked casually: "What do you mean, father?"
The King of Zhennan glared at Xiao Yi fiercely. This traitor really wanted him to go to the royal capital to "assist in government", didn't he? !
"What assistant government?!" King Zhennan sneered mockingly, Huo Di stood up and said irritably, "I think the assistant government is fake, and it is true that I want to hold this king in the capital as a hostage. !"
Back then, the late emperor kept his rebellious son in the capital as a hostage before letting him go back to southern Xinjiang. Later, when he finally had a grandson in Zhennan Palace, the late emperor wanted his golden grandson to go to the capital as a pledge; After they resisted the decree, the late emperor used the title of Crown Princess as bait to pursue his own daughter...
Now that the late emperor has finally passed away, it is the new emperor's turn to learn from others and take aim at him!
These two emperors are really father and son, exactly the same!
Insidious, deep, cunning, suspicious...
The King of Zhennan cursed secretly in his heart, this is really endless, Emperor Dayu plans to keep an eye on the people in their Zhennan Palace!
Thinking about it, King Zhennan sighed deeply: "Hey——"
"If you don't want to go, just don't go." Xiao Yi tugged at 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 random thoughts, so why doesn't he write a playbook?
"It's not that simple!" King Zhennan said angrily, sighing and walking back and forth as if he were mourning his heir.
This treacherous son is really young and does not want to think about the consequences of rejecting the new emperor!
Now that the new emperor is concerned about him, if he doesn't obey, won't the new emperor's next target be the crown prince's second child? What's more, the new emperor sent his troops south in anger? !
Hey, since I am the King of Zhennan, I can only sacrifice myself for the sake of Southern Xinjiang!
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the heavier his heart became. He couldn't help but imagine what would be waiting for him after he followed the royal censor to the royal capital? !
Lock yourself up? !
Or, chronically poisoning yourself? !
Or...
The King of Zhennan shivered violently, and a chill ran down his spine. He sighed again, with a tragic look on his face as he was about to rush to the battlefield!
"Ancestor..." When Xiao Yu heard his grandfather sigh, he ran over and handed the nine-ring chain in his hand to his grandfather.
The little guy looked at his grandfather with **** grape eyes without blinking. He tiptoed and sent the nine-ring chain up again, "Play."
What he means is, Grandpa, this is for you to play with, don’t be sad!
King Zhennan’s heart turned to water when he saw Jin Sun. He smiled lovingly and took the nine-link ring. He thought that his grandson asked him for help because he couldn't solve the Nine Links, and he smiled from ear to ear.
Sure enough, in the eyes of the precious golden grandson, his grandfather is much more reliable than his father!
The King of Zhennan glanced at Xiao Yi ostentatiously, and a strange sense of satisfaction suddenly arose in his heart. He said with a smile: "Brother Yu, come here, grandpa will help you solve it!"
King Zhennan sat down again, held Xiao Yu on his knees, and then slowly and step by step showed Xiao Jinsun how to untie the nine links.
Seeing the grandfather and grandson playing with the Nine Links selflessly, Xiao Yi thought that he had nothing to do anyway, so he simply ran away, leaving his son behind and returned to Bixiaotang.
Nangong Yue was sewing a bellyband for the second child in her belly in the East Room. When she saw Xiao Yi returning, she put the half-finished needlework aside.
"Ayi." She looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.
Nangong Yue has been pregnant for five months, and her abdomen is slightly bulging, but her body is still thin, as if the flesh has grown to her belly.
Xiao Yi feels distressed every day when she looks at her. He wishes he could tie a rope around her waist to prevent her from being blown away by the wind like a kite.
He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, then sat down next to her.
"Brother Yu, where is your father?"
Nangong Yue asked casually, but Xiao Yi's face turned dark instantly. A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at her like a resentful woman, as if complaining, A Yue, why is the first sentence you ask? That brat? !
Nangong Yue quickly picked up half an orange on the table, stuffed an orange segment into his mouth, and blocked his mouth.
The oranges in this season are so sweet that it reaches Xiao Yi's heart.
He curled his lips and smiled, satisfied, and then told her about being called to the outer study room by King Zhennan just now. By the way, he also talked about a few things between Wang Yushi and King Zhennan. Nangong Yue heard that She was stunned. On the one hand, she marveled at King Zhennan's ability to think wildly, but on the other hand, she also sighed at the current situation of Dayu Palace. If her guess was correct, I am afraid that Wang Yushi really came to invite King Zhennan to assist the government in the capital. of.
In fact, Xiao Yi received the flying pigeon letter from the royal capital 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 were caught off guard and asked the new emperor to marry a wife as soon as possible and appoint a queen. The proposed queen candidate was Xiao Fei. This allowed Dayu and Nanjiang to form a good relationship with the Qin and Jin Dynasties. At that time, although all the ministers agreed in unison, the new emperor did not agree and decisively refused in the name of filial piety.
However, the courtiers refused to give up. The road was blocked and they immediately changed their ways.
On November 12, they righteously stated at the Jinluan Palace that the Southern Xinjiang 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, it could not guarantee what would happen in the future. Therefore, Dayu could never compete with Zhennan. The palace is alienated.
All the ministers agreed, and later, some courtiers proposed to invite King Zhennan to come to the capital to assist in the administration, as a way to show goodwill to southern Xinjiang.
The new emperor refused again, not wanting to be so flattering and humble to southern Xinjiang. However, the courtiers seemed to have been prepared. They sang and sang and made impassioned speeches, showing that they understood that the new emperor was filial and did not want to marry filial piety. Wife, as the Emperor of Dayu, the new emperor still needs to put the country, the country and the country first. They also persuaded the new emperor to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden on the basis of "sleeping on the salary to taste the courage" and "the humiliation of Han Xin's crotch".
At that time, all the officials prostrated themselves on the ground and refused to get up for a long time.
As a last resort, the new emperor had no choice but to give in, so Wang Yushi made this long trip to southern Xinjiang.
At that time, after Xiao Yi read the secret letter, he thought it was a joke. After burning the secret message, he forgot about it in the blink of an eye... It wasn't until King Zhennan talked to him about "assistant government" just now that he remembered it.
Xiao Yi said nonchalantly: "Ah Yue, I will dispatch that envoy from the royal capital, so you don't have to worry..."
While talking, seeing that half of the orange in Nangong Yue’s hand was finished, Xiao Yi immediately grabbed another one from the fruit plate, peeled the orange for her diligently, and carefully cleaned the orange veins before feeding her. He reached her mouth and looked at her with a smile.
The implication is that you should stop worrying about your father.
Nangong Yue, who was eating an orange, nodded her head and responded obediently. She had no choice but to feel sweet in her heart: With Ayi here, she had nothing to worry about!
She quickly forgot about those things in the royal capital.
Since Xiao Yi returned to southern Xinjiang in early October, he has taken care of her like a porcelain doll every day, wishing that she would not even have to leave...
Actually, she has gotten much better since last month. She no longer has morning sickness and her appetite has improved. However, for some reason, except for her belly, she has no flesh on her body. As a result, she looks like a human being in Bixiaotang. Patiently, cautiously.
Xiao Yi looked at the cute and well-behaved look of his princess, and felt his hands itching. He stretched out his hands to rub the top of her hair, and also messed up the knot on her head, which caught the attention of Huamei and Queer who were serving at the side. Twitched.
Xiao Yi leaned over and kissed Nangong Yue on the corner of her lips, and then said: "Ah Yue, let's rest early tonight and go out to relax tomorrow!"
As Xiao Yi spoke, there was a hint of pride between his eyebrows, feeling that his idea was the best of both worlds.
In the past few months, Nangong Yue has been staying at Bixiaotang in order to raise her baby. 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 naturally stay with his princess, saving her from always rushing him to the Luoyue City camp.
Because it was just a casual walk, the place Xiao Yi picked was not far away, it was Wanqing Mountain on the outskirts of Luoyue City. In addition to their family of three, he also invited Guan Yubai and some general disciples to join in the fun. The people on this trip are all young people, so they can save the entertainment and red tape...
They haven't been out for a long time, and Huamei, Haitang and the other maids were also very excited. They took over all the preparations for the trip and barely let Nangong Yue worry about it.
This night passed in the blink of an eye as the maids were filled with excitement and anticipation. Early the next morning, Bixiaotang woke up earlier than usual.
Genius Meng Mengliang, a group of carriages and horses were waiting at Dongyi Gate. Naturally, Nangong Yue, who was pregnant, could not ride a horse along the way, so she took a carriage with Xiao Fei and Yuan Yuyi.
As for Xiao Yu, his father took him to ride a horse. Along the way, he heard the little guy excitedly calling his father, saying "Hurry up" repeatedly!
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they are, they are still riding horses, but they are not faster than Xiao Hui and Han Yu. The two eagles are basically far ahead all the way, unless they occasionally fly in the wrong direction and have to turn around...
In a lively atmosphere, the carriages and horses from various provinces gathered outside the gate of Luoyue City, and then continued all the way south, the team was huge...
When they arrived at the Wanqing Mountain area, which is more than 20 miles away from Luoyue City, it was not yet noon. The golden and warm sun hung high in the blue sky, and the temperature in the mountains and forests was very comfortable.
In December, the northern capital has already been covered in ice and snow, but the area near Wanqing Mountain in southern Xinjiang is still lush and lush, the air is fresh, and winter is as warm as spring, as if spring has entered early.
Nangong Yue's carriage was specially modified and drove smoothly all the way. Although she was a little tired, she didn't get carsick.
She got out of the carriage with Bai Hui's help. At a glance, she found that tents had been set up in the hunting ground area in advance, and the big tent in the middle was surrounded like stars over the moon.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in the surrounding mountains and forests, Nangong Yue could not help but feel refreshed and took a deep breath of the fresh air around her.
"Mother!" The little guy was in better spirits than his mother. As soon as he saw his mother getting off the carriage, he excitedly threw himself on her pomegranate skirt and dragged her to their tent.
"Mother, Xiaoyun." Xiaotuanzi introduced his little friend, a white pony, to Nangong Yue in a serious manner.
Then, the little guy took out a longan-sized red candy from a purse embroidered with an orange cat, and put his hand to the colt's mouth.
The docile little pony swallowed the candy in a few gulps and shook its long white ponytail.
Nangong Yue blinked slowly and looked at the happy people and horses in front of her.
Recently, when Xiao Yi went to the camp in Luoyue City, he always took Xiao Yu with him, and he even claimed confidently that a brat should not be raised as a girl.
Nangong Yue thought about it and thought it made sense. It didn't seem good for the boy to stay in the inner courtyard all day with the maids and women, so he 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 ten days and a half pass, shouldn't this guy A Yi teach Brother Yu martial arts? !
Nangong Yue couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yi quickly, with an indescribable feeling in her eyes...
Xiao Yi curled up his lips and smiled proudly, his fair and jade-like skin shining brightly in the sun, and he showed off: "How can a disciple of a general not know how to ride a horse?!"
He touched his chin triumphantly, "Ah Yue, let's give the brat a pony and let it grow up with the brat. Their relationship will be better!"
Listening to what he said so plausibly, Nangong Yue was almost convinced by him, thinking that her little guy had loved animals since he was born, including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits... he liked them all so much. .
The children of the Xiao family all grew up on horses, so raising a pony for the little guy seems like a good idea.
As soon as this idea came up, Nangong Yue heard Xiao Yi continue to say with great interest: "From now on, Xiaoyun will be the brat's horse, and he will feed, brush and walk Xiaoyun. In our army, All the soldiers are like this!"
The maids looked at each other in confusion, their eyes twitching, looking sympathetically at the little grandson who was smiling so brightly that he didn’t know his sorrow. With a father like the prince, the future of the grandson must be bumpy!
Nangong Yue was also speechless. Xiao Yu is less than two years old, and his father is holding him to the standards of a lieutenant in the army. Is this really appropriate? !
Nangong Yue was about to say something when she heard a burst of brisk chatter and laughter not far behind her. Seven or eight young men in rich robes and jade robes were striding towards this side, talking and laughing. Most of them were familiar faces. , such as Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, Yan Xijun and the third son of Hua.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Yu Xiufan greeted the two of them with a smile and invited them loudly, "We plan to go hunting in the mountains. Brother, you can come with us!"
These young people are full of energy, and there is no trace of fatigue on their young faces.
Thinking about going into the mountains soon, they were all eager to try.
Winter hunting is hunting, I am sure you will get a lot of harvest today!
Xiao Yi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Xiao Fanzi, you can go play by yourself! I have a wife!"
The implication is that he wants to accompany his princess, but he doesn't have time to play with a bunch of bachelors like them.
Yu Xiufan was still smiling, patted his chest boldly, and said: "Brother, then you stay here to accompany your sister-in-law and nephew. Whatever you want to eat, I will hunt for you, little brother!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi patted his shoulder, shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Fanzi, it's not your turn yet!"
Hearing this sentence, several young people looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
Suddenly, Yu Xiufan's ears twitched, as if he felt something, and he quickly moved a step to the left.
Almost the next moment, a gray shadow suddenly fell straight down from the sky, and with a "dong" sound, there was a dead badger at Yu Xiufan's feet.
Several young people subconsciously looked up and saw the gray eagle and the white eagle hovering in the sky. The gray eagle gave everyone a cold and proud look, then flapped its wings and flew away.
The surroundings were silent for a moment, until Yu Xiufan let out a burst of laughter. He laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.
"Brother, I almost forgot, you are raised by an eagle!"
Facing Xiao Yi's triumphant eyes, Yu Xiufan was convinced, waved his arms, and greeted the brothers to leave.
Nangong Yue watched them leave. When she thought of Yu Xiufan and Yuan Yuyi's fate, the smile on her lips became a little thicker.
The young people came in a hurry and went into the mountain laughing and joking. The laughter and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away...
In contrast, Xiao Yi's schedule was much more leisurely. He first took Nangong Yue and her son into the tent to eat some food, and then the family of three took a nap for a while before slowly leaving their tent.
Little Xiao Yu has not yet fully woken up, yawning lazily in Xiao Yi's arms, like a little lazy cat.
It was not yet Shen hour, and the sun was setting in the west. The sunlight passed through the dense branches and leaves, casting strange and mottled light and shadows. Just looking at it made my heart calm.
"Ayi, we..."
Nangong Yue wanted to suggest taking a walk in the mountains, but halfway through her words, her words stopped abruptly, and her eyes were attracted to the front right.
In the northwest corner of the camp, there is an ancient tree that can only be hugged by three or four people. It is at least hundreds of years old. The trunk is vigorous and curved like a snake, and the branches and leaves are lush, like a giant umbrella covering the sky.
Under the huge shade of the old tree, there are several large cases placed at the moment. Next to one of the large cases, there are seven or eight girls surrounding it. Their eyes are focused on the big case in the middle, pointing and whispering to each other. talk.
At a glance, Nangong Yue saw two familiar slender figures among the girls, wearing aqua and pink riding attire respectively. They were Xiao Fei and Yuan Yuyi.
Nangong Yue thought about it and changed her words: "Ayi, let's go over and take a look."
Xiao Yi nodded obediently, and the young couple took the little guy and walked towards the girls.
When they walked about three or four feet away, a round-faced girl in a yellow riding uniform saw them and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Grandson."
Several other girls also looked at Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue and greeted them 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 entranced?"
"Sister-in-law, I just painted a painting." Xiao Fei said, turning aside to make a gap for Nangong Yue, "Just now Xiao Hui stopped on this ancient tree, and I looked at its vigorous posture. , I couldn’t help but draw it, but..."
Xiao Fei frowned slightly as she spoke, and Yuan Yuyi said: "Yue'er, we all think that Sister Fei's paintings are vivid, but she herself feels that something is wrong..."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows with interest and looked at the painting on the large red lacquered wood case.
"Huihui!" Xiao Yu, who was 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 people ran away immediately.
On a large piece of off-white rice paper, a vigorous gray eagle was lying alone on an old branch that twisted and stretched out. Its two claws were like hooks, gripping the branch tightly. The gray eagle's head and neck was twisted back. The beak pecks at the thin feathers under the eagle's wings. This eagle is painted neatly and delicately, and lifelike. The old branches are thick 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, Xiao Fei often painted Xiao Hui in the palace, and now the eagle painting is extremely lifelike, 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, do you think so too?!" Sister-in-law really has a connection with her!
Nangong Yue nodded thoughtfully, without noticing the corners of Xiao Yi's eyes twitching.
This Xiao Fei has nothing to do to upset A Yue! Xiao Yi thought angrily in his heart, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, and his thoughts moved.
"Xiao Bai!" Xiao Yi raised his voice and shouted towards a camp on the left front.
Not far away, a young man wearing a brown-white robe just walked out of the tent. He was elegant and elegant, and he was in the official language.
Guan Yubai came after hearing the sound, and Xiaosi followed him step by step as usual.
The little dumpling in Xiao Yi's arms looked up from the painting and greeted his adoptive father with a smile. The girls beside him also gave Guan Yubai a courtesy one by one.
"Xiao Bai," Xiao Yi used his free left hand to pull Guan Yubai to his side and said with a smile, "How about you come and take a look at Xiao Fei's painting? What is missing?"
Guan Yubai also looked at the picture of the old eagle tree, with a glimmer of light shining in his warm eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
With just a subtle change in Guan Yubai's expression, Xiao Yi guessed that he was confident, and said coolly: "Xiao Bai, just say it."
Xiao Fei rarely echoed Xiao Yi's words and said seriously: "Master Hou, please give me some advice!" Although she had only played a few games of chess with Guan Yubai, she could at least be sure that An Yihou was more reliable than her brother. too much!
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, picked up the wolf brush beside him with his left hand, and said warmly: "Miss Xiao, I will take the liberty of adding a few strokes for you."
Both Xiao Fei and Yuan Yuyi moved aside, leaving Guan Yubai the position directly in front of the major case.
The girls who were watching looked at each other with interest. Is An Yihou going to change the painting on the spot? Or change it with your left hand?
But aren’t officials generals? !
Xiao Fei's painting skills are among the best in southern Xinjiang. If the painting skills of the person who changed the painting are inferior, it would be a bit disappointing... The girls communicated silently with their eyes.
After Guan Yubai dipped his hands in ink, he started writing on the lower right corner of the drawing paper without hesitation... He wrote very smoothly, and in just a few strokes he sketched the outline of a pheasant, supplemented by ink and wash. Dyeing...
Guan Yubai painted calmly and unhurriedly. Others did not dare to disturb him and spoke quietly.
Occasionally, a gust of mountain wind blows slowly, causing the branches and leaves of the ancient trees above to sway, "whispering, rustling..." quiet and far-reaching.
The movement under the ancient tree also attracted other people in the camp. One after another, eight or nine people came over to watch. Everyone put an index finger on their lips and made a "shh" sign. A gesture to signal others to silence.
In the silence, this large red lacquered wood case was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.
After a moment, Guan Yubai in the center of the crowd took the last stroke and then put down the wolf hair in his hand.
But Xiao Fei didn't seem to realize it. Her dark eyes were still staring at the painting on the big case, unblinking, and her beautiful profile was very focused.
It took a while before Xiao Fei uttered one word: "Wonderful!"
Others were also looking at the painting.
The eagle on the branch is still the gray eagle, without any modifications. An Yihou just added a few bushes of wild grass and a pheasant in the lower right corner of the painting.
The pheasant was running away in panic among the grass, looking towards the branches with wide eyes, just in time to meet the cold eyes of the gray eagle on the branches. At that moment, the pheasant looked frightened. Jumping onto the paper.
After getting the pheasant, everyone discovered that the gray eagle's eagle eye was actually looking down. Its glance was careless and aloof as a king. On the contrary, the pheasant's glance below was hasty and timid. The contrast between the two is stark.
As you look up, you can see the eagle's heroic posture at a glance, and its expression is beautiful.
Moreover, the painting also has a chilling air!
Xiao Fei is right, this painting is indeed very "wonderful".
Chang Huanwei said with emotion: "Looking at the addition of this hasty pheasant, the eagle seems to be more powerful and fierce! The painting has also become more vivid." But it is obviously the same eagle!
"That's right." The Chinese **** the side nodded thoughtfully and said, "This may mean that where there is weakness, there must be strength, and where there is good, there must be evil..." With comparison, the winner can be determined.
Everyone also tasted some of the artistic conception and expressed their opinions in various tongues... After that, the young men and girls who were watching began to slowly disperse.
At this time, Xiao Fei, who had been frozen for a while, finally looked away from the painting and looked up at Guan Yubai, with a strange brilliance on his face, and said seriously: "Master Hou, this painting After your wonderful hands, it has completely changed into something new! Mr. Hou is not only brilliant at chess, but also has extraordinary painting skills. I am really impressed!"
Xiao Fei's "admiration" was heartfelt.
She also knew that Guan Yubai was a disciple of a general. Although he looked elegant and scholarly now, he was once a young general who dominated the battlefield and protected the country.
Guan Yubai is truly a man of both civil and military skills!
Xiao Fei's clear eyes were sincere, full of admiration, and her eyes were as simple as a child's.
"Miss Xiao, you're welcome." Guan Yubai smiled lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy in Xiao Yi's arms came over excitedly and looked at Guan Yubai eagerly, "Father, Huihui!"
Guan Yubai stopped laughing, and was about to explain that the painting was not his, when Xiao Fei smiled and said again: "Brother Yu, can I give this painting to you?"
Little Xiao Yu's big eyes suddenly lit up like gems, he nodded desperately and said, "Hello, aunt!"
Xiao Fei gently rubbed the top of 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 to wait for her to finish the painting. If you want to paint, let’s go horse riding together.”
"Sister Fei, sister Yi, go quickly before it gets dark." Nangong Yue urged with a smile, watching Xiao Fei, Yuan Yuyi and the other four girls go away laughing.
This winter hunting was originally intended for young people to come out and relax, so it would be good for Xiao Fei to take advantage of this opportunity to make a few more like-minded friends.
The girls' silvery laughter faded 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 Yu got the painting from his aunt, and now he can’t take his eyes away at all. He keeps shouting “Hui Hui” in Xiao Yi’s house. His body squirmed restlessly in his arms.
Xiao Yi couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he simply placed 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 diligently, as if the maid standing by didn't exist.
"Xiaosi..." Guan Yubai sat down behind another big table next to him and made a gesture.
Xiao Si presented a few branches and a dagger.
Guan Yubai slowly tried to bend each branch, and finally picked one, then held the branch with his right hand and peeled off the bark with a dagger in his left hand...
One knife after another...
Watching the messy bark falling down one after another, Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, seemingly thoughtful, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Xiao Bai, are you making a bow?"
Xiao Yi's tone sounded questioning, but the expression on his face was very certain.
Xiao Yi also made a bow by himself. When he was a child, his grandfather taught him how to make it.
Judging from the thickness and length of the branch Guan Yubai chose, Xiao Yi was certain that what Guan Yubai planned to make was a small bow.
It is self-evident who this little bow is for.
Xiao Yi stretched out his finger and flicked Xiao Yu's forehead, and said jokingly: "You stinky boy is lucky!"
Nangong Yue also had to agree, but it wasn’t true that yesterday his father gave him a pony, and today his adoptive father made him a small bow, and the hunting equipment was also complete.
Next, everything was quiet except for the sound of the wind and the voices of the four of them talking from time to time...
The sun slowly set in the west, the golden sunlight dimmed, and there was a faint coolness in the mountain breeze.
After several processes, the small bow in Guan Yubai's hand began to take shape, and it also attracted Xiao Yu's attention.
When Guan Yubai started to string the small bow, the little guy finally couldn't hold it anymore and crawled over to Guan Yubai from the big case, looking at Guan Yubai with bright 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. Today he watched his adoptive father turn an ordinary branch into a small bow, and he couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes.
Guan Yubai carefully polished the bow body and adjusted the bow strings. The corners of his lips were slightly raised and he waved to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Xiao Yu immediately climbed up to Guan Yubai excitedly and looked at him eagerly.
"Brother Yu, after my adoptive father makes this little bow, can I give it to you?" Guan Yubai looked at the little guy with a smile. The little guy's innocent and cute appearance made people look at it. My mood couldn't help but lighten up.
"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded vigorously, knowing that he would have a new toy soon.
He was so happy that he quickly put his little mouth together and gave his adoptive father a kiss on the cheek to express his joy.
Although Guan Yubai noticed the little guy's movements, he did not dare to resist. His whole body was as stiff as if he had been frozen instantly.
It was rare to see Guan Yubai looking at a loss, so Xiao Yi laughed rudely.
Little Xiao Yu still couldn't figure out the situation. He looked at his father, his mother, his adoptive father, and smiled stupidly.
The atmosphere in the camp was relaxed and joyful, and at the same time, the sun began to set.
But the camp was getting more and more lively, and the young men who went into the mountains to hunt during the day came back from the mountains and forests together in twos and threes.
These young masters are all disciples of the generals, and most of them have already found jobs in the army like Yu Xiufan and others. Naturally, all of them have extraordinary archery skills and return with a full load of various prey.
As people returned one after another, there were more and more people in the camp, and more and more prey were piled up. Hare, wild badger, wild wolf, wild boar, pheasant...the surroundings began to be filled with thick smoke. The smell of blood.
The setting sun continued to sink, and before you knew it, most of it had already set. The sky in the west was filled with colorful clouds. A huge bonfire and torches were lit in the camp, illuminating the entire camp like daylight. .
The sky gradually darkened, and a faint silver moon could be vaguely seen in the sky...
Seeing that the sky was almost completely dark, Nangong Yue began to feel a little uneasy and looked in the direction of the mountains and forests from time to time.
Yuan Yuyi, Xiao Fei and the others have not returned yet...
Xiao Yi immediately ordered dozens of people to go up the mountain to search for Xiao Fei, Yuan Yuyi, and Chang Huanwei.
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 had not returned, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
It wasn't until another incense stick passed that a noise and commotion came from the direction of the mountain forest, and the sound of horse hooves came towards the camp, rumbling.
The camp also became noisy. It was said that the soldiers who went to look for people were escorting several girls back.
But when Nangong Yue met Yuan Yuyi's hasty eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
"Yue'er, send someone quickly to find Sister Fei! She is separated from us!" Yuan Yuyi stepped forward quickly and anxiously took Nangong Yue's hand, her delicate body trembling slightly.
After the words were spoken, there was deathly silence all around, and time seemed to have stood still at this moment!
