Still waiting for Zhaoyang

Chapter 6 Kanai Indus Autumn Leaves Yellow (3)
Little did he know, when his arrow was still half a foot away from the blood magpie, he was suddenly intercepted by another arrow flying from the east, which slanted and hit Shang Rui's arrow. There was a sound of "噗", the metal was crisp, and the two arrows collided and fell together in mid-air.

The blood magpie was really startled by the sound, flapped its wings twice and jumped into the sky, never to be seen again.

"You!" Shang Rui suddenly turned his head and looked at Yao Chuang angrily, "You are cheating!"

At that time, Yao Chuang only saw that Shang Rui had a chance to win, so he became quick-witted.Although it's not very fair, but after all, you have done everything, so naturally you can't show weakness in front of Shang Rui, let him see his regretful expression, so he whispered: "You didn't say you couldn't do this before, at most we are a tie. "

Shang Rui had never experienced such a useless attitude in his life, raised his eyebrows, got off the horse, stepped forward, grabbed Yao Chuang's robe, and wanted to pull him off the saddle.

Yao Chuang tugged at him reflexively, but he lost all strength, and the horse's hoof slipped under his crotch, and he fell off the horse.Shang Rui was also caught off guard, and fell down the slope with Yao Chuang and rolled several times, until they rolled into the col.The two people faced each other, grabbed each other's skirts, glared at each other, and remained motionless, as if two tigers were looking for each other's flaws, waiting for an opportunity.

Suddenly, "Hey——" Shang Rui suddenly laughed for no reason, which made Yao Chuang very puzzled.

He let go of Yao Chuang and turned over, lying on his back on the wet grass.

"Yao Chuang, you are really interesting." He said with a smile.

Yao Chuang pulled out the withered grass on his head: "You are the one who is interesting, you are the one who gets annoyed first, and you are the one who laughs first."

"I haven't fought like this with anyone for more than ten years."

Yao Chuang muttered, "Is this considered a fight? I fought with someone years ago, knocked out his teeth with one punch, and stabbed him once. That man is the nephew of the master of Jinluo Prefecture, so he was killed later. Followed everyone to the imperial capital to join the army with fake household registration."

"How did people offend you?"

"He robbed my woman! He forced me to marry him and made him a concubine." Yao Chuang still gritted his teeth when he said it. If he hadn't been held back by others, he would have killed that bastard long ago.

Shang Rui nodded, and put his hands behind his head again: "Have you slept?"

Yao Chuang was asked this simple and rude question so much that he almost coughed up old blood. He answered no, and he didn’t answer no. After being embarrassed for a long time, he asked, “Brother Chai, aren’t you a scholar?”

"I haven't slept, how can I call you a woman?" Shang Rui asked.

"I..." Yao Chuang's face was blushing, and he was at a loss for words.

"Anyway, she's all about me."

Shang Rui suddenly became quiet, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while he said in silence: "What kind of girl is she who is devoted to others?"

"You haven't married yet, have you?" Yao Chuang chuckled.

"Have."

"Your wife doesn't give you her whole heart, is she stealing men outside?" Yao Chuang looked sideways.

Shang Rui stood up with a smile, and did not answer him, but stretched out his hand to Yao Chuang to pull him up: "Yao Chuang, you are my first friend."

Yao Chuang was stunned for a moment, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. He didn't expect the other party to spit out a sentence in such a serious manner, and even gave him such a polite title. He said with some regret: "Actually, I lost just now."

Shang Rui smiled and said: "No, it is indeed a tie. It's just that I have better eyesight than you." The implication is that Yao Chuang's arrow can come from behind and hit his own arrow, which shows that his arrow is indeed better than his own. some.But these words, Shang Rui would never say them himself, he was convinced in his heart, but he also insisted on it.

Yao Chuang didn't pay attention either, and said, "I was hurt by you this time."

"Why?"

"According to military regulations, if you go out of the camp privately, you will be punished with twenty military sticks."

Shang Rui smiled: "You can't even afford twenty army sticks?"

Yao Chuang said: "That's not true. The fat man Li Jiang was on duty at the gate today. He used to withhold the salaries of his brothers privately. I refused to accept it and sued him. I didn't know that it didn't work out, but he wrote it down. He caught the handle, and if he didn't die, he would peel off his skin."

Shang Rui didn't smile when he heard the words.

The two of them looked back for the horse and got out of the woods, only to find that the parts of their clothes that were not covered by the thin armor were all torn by branches, and they were extremely embarrassed.But seeing that additional manpower had been dispatched at the gate of the encircled camp, there was no panic at all.Shang Rui is glad that his disappearance has not been discovered yet.

He was stopped at the door.A fat black man with the appearance of a military officer was domineering.

Shang Rui thought, this person must be Li Jiang.

Li Jiang is just a small order to patrol the camp, and he doesn't even have a rank, so naturally he doesn't know Shang Rui.When he saw someone, he pulled out his knife, pointed at the faces of the two men, and shouted: "You two secretly stole the army's horses out of the camp?"

When Yao Chuang saw Li Jiang, he groaned in his heart, didn't answer him, and stood still, with an expression of wanting to kill him or let him handle him.

However, Shang Rui glanced at the man coldly, and moved the knife pointed at him away with a bow: "Master Li, the horses are here, we returned them on our own initiative, there is no such thing as stealing."

"Hey - dare to talk back when you meet someone you don't know. Since you and Yao Chuang are in the same group, don't blame your uncle for being cruel. Tie me to a post to stop my mouth, and whip me to death."

"My lord, we have violated the military regulations, so naturally we will be dealt with according to the military law. How should we be punished for the crime of going out of the siege camp without permission? We are not begging for mercy. But we are all brothers in the army, so it is best not to draw out such things as swords casually. It is said that you abused lynching under the eyes of the emperor, beat two little people into tricks, and gave others the truth." Shang Rui's words were extremely cold, and he spit them out slowly, which really made Li Jiang feel like he was on pins and needles, "You...you..."

When Yao Chuang heard Shang Rui's words of taunting Li Jiang, he laughed out loud without fear of death.

Shang Rui was thinking in his heart, of course he didn't want to show his identity, but he really wanted to express his hope for Yao Chuang.But in case Li Jiang became angry now, he had no choice but to feel sorry for Hong Wu and move him out to block him.

As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come early. Li Jianggang ordered Shang Rui and Yao Chuang to be tied up, and Hong Wu came back.

When he saw Shang Rui tied into rice dumplings, he almost fainted on the spot.Why did he only leave for a while, and the place has become a mess, as expected, His Majesty the Emperor should not be allowed to act alone.

He got off his horse and scolded, "Li Jiang, you haven't..."

In the middle of the conversation, Shang Rui stopped him with a wink.

He took a deep breath and asked Li Jiang as calmly as possible: "What, what's going on?"

Li Jiang replied with an almost obsequious expression: "Returning to Master Hong, these two people sneaked out of the camp and were finally caught by the subordinates."

Hong Wu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shang Rui.

Li Jia, who was blocked by the side, finally couldn't hold back, and argued with everyone: "No, it's not like this, my lord!"

"Okay!" Hong Wu raised his hand to stop the noisy voices, "I ordered them to go out on horseback to do business. The matter is urgent, and there is no time to give the order."

"Huh?" Hong Wu's words shocked everyone except Shang Rui.

Li Jiang was puzzled, "Why did Mr. Hong order them to go out?"

Hong Wu frowned: "It's a secret in the military, do you still have to report it to 'Master Li'?" He said and quickly ordered someone to untie the ropes of the two people.

Yao Chuang poked Shang Rui's chest privately with his elbow: "Are you really a celebrity in front of Mr. Hong? He will take care of this kind of thing for you."

Shang Rui suppressed a smile and avoided Yao Chuang's gaze.

After breaking up, Shang Rui followed Hong Wu back to the camp.

Minglian paced back and forth in the tent by himself like a headless chicken, when he saw Shang Rui, he knelt down with a "plop" on his knees, and said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, you are back."

It was only then that Shang Rui remembered that he forgot to say hello to Ming Lian in advance, which showed that he was frightened.

Ming continued to cry intermittently: "This servant will not see the emperor when he comes back, and he neither dares to make a statement nor go out to find someone. He is afraid that if someone comes, no one will deal with him. If the emperor just goes out on a whim, then the servant will not be broken." The emperor's elegance. But if there are really some villains who want to harm the emperor, the slaves will delay the opportunity. If the emperor makes any mistakes..."

"I'm back, so don't cry, just remember to tell you later." He had just finished listening to Hong Wu's instigation, and now there was another one.

Ming Lian wiped away his tears, stood up to change Shang Rui's clothes, and exclaimed as soon as he looked up: "Your Majesty, your face!"

Hearing the sound, Hong Wu took a deep breath in his heart.

It was just now that the lights outside the tent were dim, and it was Shang Rui who wiped his face dirty.Looking at it under the lamp now, Shang Rui had a gash about an inch long on Shang Rui's face, and the blood had dried up.Although the depth of the wound was unknown, it was on the cheek, and it couldn't get better no matter what.The two people next to them suddenly began to tremble in their hearts.

Shang Rui looked at the two of them and saw that his eyes were wrong, so he stretched out his hand to wipe the wound, and accidentally opened the wound, which made him feel a little pain.He was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he was scratched by a branch when he was shooting an arrow just now.

Ming Lian said: "Your Majesty, this servant is going to teach the imperial doctor."

Shang Ruizhi said: "It's not a big deal, don't disturb them."

Hong Wudao: "Your Majesty, it's not a big deal. Everyone can see it tomorrow morning. If there is a scar and the Empress Dowager blames it, I can only apologize with death."

Shang Rui immediately had a headache, came again and again, and used this hand to threaten him: "I just said that when I was sleeping, I was accidentally scratched by something on the pillow, it's okay."

"Your Majesty!" Ming Lian knelt down again with a plop, "Then you are blaming the servants for not taking good care of the emperor's clothing, food, sleeping, and sleeping habits, which caused the emperor's dragon face to be damaged and his body to be ill. But I beg the emperor to give you a whole body of slaves and servants." .”

Shang Rui suddenly felt that these two people were not begging for death, but were trying to force him to death, so he compromised and said: "It's over, I'll listen to you." After finishing speaking, Ming Lian immediately took off his tattered outfit for him.

The imperial doctor came, followed by a large group of people, Xu Jingye naturally came together.

Xu Jingye and the imperial doctor asked in unison, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"Uh..." Shang Rui explained, "I just slipped at the door."

Although he felt that everyone looked at him suspiciously, no one dared to speak.

The imperial doctor carefully cleaned the wound and applied medicine, and asked Minglian to apply Tsinghua Yulu ointment around Shang Rui's wound every two hours to prevent the wound from burning uncomfortably.

Xu Jingye said: "It's inevitable that eunuchs have heavy hands, go to the laundry room and find a careful maid."

It made sense for the imperial doctor to think about it, so he made the decision according to Xu Jingye.

At night, he felt a burning pain on his face, and he couldn't help frowning, but at this moment, a pair of soft and delicate hands were placed on his forehead, smoothing his frowning brows, and then dipped some cool stuff Gently spread around the wound.

The cool touch spread slowly, which was very comfortable.

Shang Rui grabbed that hand and asked in a daze, "Who is it?"

But a soft voice said: "This servant is here to wait for the emperor to apply the medicine."

Shang Rui didn't even open his eyes, he gave a vague "hmm" and said, "Your hands are not bad, go on."

The woman couldn't hide her joy and said: "Yes." She continued to move gently, but changed the place after a while, rubbing her fingertips on Shang Rui's lips lightly, and seeing that Shang Rui was not unhappy, she tentatively kissed go down.

She pecked Shang Rui's lips lightly at first, and then went deeper and deeper, sticking her tongue into his mouth to wantonly tease the man on the bed.

Shang Rui suddenly grabbed her neck with one hand, forcing her to leave her lips, and then with a little force with her fingers, the woman had difficulty breathing, and begged for mercy in pain: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... slave... sin..."

Shang Rui narrowed his eyes, sized her up, and said coldly, "I don't like active women very much."

The woman became even more frightened immediately, her breathing became short of breath, her blood couldn't flow, and her face was flushed red.

"However, sometimes there are exceptions." While speaking, Shang Rui pulled her onto the couch, turned over and pressed the woman under him, and glanced casually at the door of the tent.

How could he not know these tricks by the surname Xu?

It's just because the queen has nothing to do, that's why she thought about it.

Sending one after another is nothing more than to let the woman of their Xu family get a dragon seed and become a prince.In fact, why is this so, it is better to abolish him and change the name of the world to Xu, so that the prince does not have to wait.

The next day, Shang Rui waited for Minglian to dress him properly, and said calmly: "Go and talk to the Clothes Bureau, and give it again from today..." He thought for a while, turned around and asked the woman, "Your name is..."

The woman shyly said: "The folk girl's name is Wenjiao, Xu Wenjiao, she is not a maid of the Huanyi Bureau. The folk girl is Xu Mu's second daughter."

"You came all the way, and your uncle still said that you are a maid from the Huanyi Bureau. You are really wronged." Shang Rui smiled imperceptibly. There are not many daughters in the Xu family, but he recognized one from the collateral line and sent him to the palace. Come on, it's almost a regular meal.

He turned around and said to Ming Lian: "Find Wen Jiao another place to live, and go back to the palace to ask the queen about the rest."

On the way back to Beijing from Wei Shou, Tian Yuan suddenly asked He Lanxun: "Brother He Lan, do you think the emperor we are assisting will really be a generation of sages? Is our vision not wrong?"

He Lanxun saw Tian Yuan's thoughts, and said lightly: "I believe in my choice."
