Is the prince jealous today?

There are many ways to drive a chariot, and the two common ones are chasing water carts and dancing crossroads.Chasing the water cart refers to galloping along Qu'an without falling into the water.To dance at the crossroads is to drive freely through the passage.

These are what Liu Yi read from the book, the gentleman chooses three of the six arts, the first two are counting and archery, one wins and one loses, but now only Yu is left.

Looking at the twisting and twisting river bank in front of her, Liu Yi swallowed, and inadvertently grabbed at her hem, always feeling her ass being cold.

Qi Jian looked at the snake-like embankment and was very satisfied. It was completely built a few hours ago after many days of hard work led by him.

The zigzag embankment is built with fine loess and leveled several times to ensure stable and smooth traffic.Next to the embankment, although it is a river, the tidal flats are gentle and the water depth is less than one foot. Even if you really fall into the water, there is no danger.

The two rounds were tied, and this last round is the key to deciding the outcome. No matter what you say, you can only win. Qi Jian raised his eyebrows: "You first, or me first?"

The consequence of the last time the archery came first is still vivid in his memory, this time Liu Yi would not come first, he secretly took two steps back, bent down and stretched out his hand, making a gesture of please.

Qi Jian smiled and didn't give in. She ordered someone to pull the car out and jumped on it.

Liu Yi watched him drive to the water's edge, hesitated for a moment, then followed suit: "Be careful, don't fall."

What responded to him was the neighing of the horses, the pure white war horse held its head high, Qi Jian waved his whip and yelled softly, and the chariot galloped away like an arrow.

When Wang Gonggong hurried to the shore, Qi Jian had already got off the car and replaced Liu Yi.He stepped down to the embankment with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and after greeting Qi Jian, he whispered: "My son, the emperor urgently calls you into the palace."

Qi Jian replied that she knew it, she didn't take her eyes off the carriage for a moment, at this moment Liu Yi was leading the carriage to a critical point, where there were three or four sharp bends connected, if she was not careful, she might fall into the water.

Just now when Qi Jian came here, for safety reasons, he slowed down a little bit, but Liu Yi's speed was a bit slow in the first half of the trip, and he was eager to win, so he ignored the sharp bend here and planned to pass at full speed.

"Slow down, it's dangerous." Seeing the shaking of the car body, Qi Jian narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but make a sound.

Liu Yi didn't know if she didn't hear it, or she had a plan in mind, instead of slowing down, she even raised the whip, intending to speed up.

The sharp bend is close to the water bank, and if the horse misses the ground or the wheel is slightly off, it will fall into the river, but Liu Yi can't care about that much, he glanced at the incense burner not far away, pursed his lips, and tried his best Bicycles become motorcycles.

Anyway, if you drive at a normal speed and see that you are going to lose, you might as well take a gamble. It is best to win. If you can’t win, you will just become a ruined chicken. It’s no big deal.

Hearing Qi Jian call for danger, Liu Yi raised her eyebrows with a smile, and waved the whip. I don't know what expression Qi Jian had when he was worried?Will it be the same as when I was young, with puffy cheeks?

Thinking about it this way, after he dropped the whip, he glanced towards Qi Jian inadvertently from the corner of his eye. He was dressed in black, looking dignified and proud. cute.

How can it be so cute?Swallowing, Liu Yi couldn't help but take another look, this time, his wrist trembled slightly, and he almost pulled the rein off - next to Qi Jian, stood Wang Gonggong!

Why did the prince come here?Is there any order from the emperor?Liu Yi's mind was in a mess, her strength in her hands was unstable, and the galloping horse was affected, and her front hooves almost missed the ground.

"Liu Yi!" Qi Jian's voice suddenly rose.

Liu Yi didn't dare to be distracted anymore, she pulled and tugged, trying to adjust the horse.However, the speed of the carriage is too fast, even if it is only a slight distance away, it is very difficult to adjust it back.

After a few pulls but failed, Liu Yi had to reverse his right wrist, wrap the rein around his wrist, and use the strength of his forearm as a supplement to increase the strength.

The reins rubbed against his wrist, and there was pain, Liu Yi didn't blink, just tried his best to lead the horse to the right side, with his hard work, the carriage managed to avoid the sharp bend, and rushed towards the next sharp turn.

Liu Yi pulled the rein again and again, avoiding the second sharp turn.

Seeing that the two big bends had passed, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and did not dare to swing his whip again, but maintained the leading speed and rushed through the last bend.

After driving to the finish line, he hurriedly turned over and got out of the car, ran and bumped towards the incense burner, and extinguished the incense.Carefully took out the remaining long incense, put it on the table, lined up with the other half of the incense, Liu Yi stared at the two incense, trying to compare the length.

"How?" Qi Jian also came over, grabbed Liu Yi's right hand first, and carefully inspected his right wrist.

Liu Yi flexed her right wrist, staring at the two incense sticks of the same length and frowning, said in a low voice, "What is he doing here?"

"Look for me to enter the palace." Seeing that Liu Yi's wrist is fine, Qi Jian also looked at the two incense sticks, seeing that the two incense sticks were the same length, he felt a little regretful, "It's a pity, we have to choose another time to compare."

Liu Yi sneaked a few glances at the prince not far away: "Do you know what to do in the palace?"

"Yes." Qi Jian obviously did not intend to explain.

Liu Yi frowned slightly, staring at the rub marks on her wrist.

Qi Jian grabbed his wrist, licked it, and leaned over to his ear: "Left is just for me to assist the prince and restrain the third prince, don't worry."

In fact, the emperor did exactly as Qi Jian expected, calling him into the palace, full of nonsense, summed up in six words, protect the crown prince and protect the throne.

Qi Jian had guessed these things a long time ago, so it wasn't surprising that Qi Jian cared more about the armor beside the emperor's bed than this.

It's been a long time since the father's armor has been seen up close. Seeing that the armor is still sharp, Qi Jian's heart hurts, her eyes are lowered, and she is silent for a long time.

On the inside of the armor, there are large dark marks. When the prince fled back in embarrassment, Qi Jian noticed the blood stain when he saw the armor.The blood stains are inside the armor, on the chest, judging by the area of ​​the blood stains, it can be fatal.

If you wear armor, your heart will never be injured, but if your heart is already injured, it will be difficult to walk alone. When you are escaping for your life, what is the strength and need to wear cumbersome armor?

The answer was ready to come out, Qi Jian slowly left the Nuan Pavilion and walked to the long corridor, his legs gradually sank, he barely stood still by supporting the palace wall, pressed his painful chest, and slowly closed his eyes.

After suffering for so many years, now, it is still not the time to think about it.

He took a deep breath, thinking that Liu Yi was still waiting for him outside the palace, his mood improved a little, and the pain in his chest lessened.Holding the palace wall up slowly for a while, Qi Jian straightened her clothes and raised her head.

At the end of the corridor, inside the palace gate, there is a shadow.

Seeing that person, Qi Jian frowned slightly, let go of the hand holding the wall, and sneered on her face.

The man was also taken aback when he saw Qi Jian, looked around for no one, and waved to the eunuch behind him.Asking the eunuch to go to the distance to protect against the wind, Hua Qiong walked up to Qi Jian in a few steps and lowered his voice: "Father is looking for you?"

Qi Jian raised her eyebrows: "What's none of your business?"

Uncharacteristically, Hua Qiong kept his voice down and continued: "I know you want to get rid of the prince, but you can't do it now."

"Yo? When did I say that I want to get rid of the prince?" Qi Jian seemed to have heard a big joke, and she took half a step away from Hua Qiong, saying with certainty, "My Qi family is loyal to the king and patriotic, but I have never had the heart to disobey .”

Still say no?The beating at the beginning was really ruthless, and it was hard to say where the prince was lying now, even if he was guarded by guards.

But now, when it's not time to break up, Hua Qiong suppressed her impatience and leaned in front of Qi Jian: "Don't pretend, there are bloodstains on the armor, don't talk about you and me, even the father is like a mirror in his heart." .”

Qi Jian took a deep breath and said nothing.

"But now, it's really not the time." Seeing this, Hua Qiong took advantage of the victory to pursue, "The crown prince is holding the evidence of the Liu family, you pushed him into a hurry, if he fights to the death, the Liu family will be wiped out."

With a sideways snort, Qi Jian stared at Hua Qiong again: "Evidence from the Liu family? General Liu walked upright and behaved well. What kind of evidence would be taken away? Besides, why did you tell me this?"

Hua Qiong also knew that it was not so easy to succeed, so he had to tell the truth: "Don't worry about the evidence, I naturally have reasons. But you are a smart person, and our goals are the same, why can't we work together?"

Saying this is tantamount to acknowledging that he has the heart to replace the prince. What he does in secret and what he says in the open have completely different meanings.

Qi Jian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that Hua Qiong was forced to jump over the wall by the emperor, planning to burn the boat, so she dared to say such words.But he was in a hurry, so he didn't have to be in a hurry. Qi Jian walked away after listening.

"Don't go!" Hua Qiong's voice rose, the smile disappeared, "Qi Jian, if you don't want Liu Yi to die, don't force the prince."

"Why should I believe you?" Qi Jian turned to look at him, but her eyes seemed to see farther through him.

Thinking of the news that Qiao Yuan had inquired secretly, Hua Qiong gritted his teeth, the matter has come to this point, nothing can make Qi Jian bite the prince tightly, forcing the prince to jump over the wall in a hurry.

After thinking about this, he put on a smiling face, bowed to Qi Jian, and lowered his voice to the lowest: "Ming people don't speak dark words, to tell you the truth, I will attack the prince secretly, as long as you don't participate, go back to the mansion and wait for it to happen Big revenge can be avenged."

Hua Qiong is too abnormal, this is Qi Jian's first reaction.He used to at least cover it up, but now he doesn't care and can say such things in the palace?

Recalling the emperor's recent actions, none of them could push people to a dead end, but Hua Qiong reacted like a fight between trapped beasts, as if he was afraid of something, as if, if the prince was pushed into a hurry, it would do him great harm.

It's impossible to say that he suddenly cared about brotherhood, Qi Jian frowned, thought in another way of thinking, and realized it.

Either for love or for profit, Hua Qiong is so abnormal that he wants Prince Mingbao to assassinate him secretly, there is only one possibility, that is, the prince also holds evidence against Hua Qiong, and if there is evidence but does not make it public, most likely the evidence is , Injure the enemy one thousand and self-injure eight hundred.

Qi Jian hoped that the prince would get what he deserved, but it was impossible for the prince to be killed secretly. He shook his head, his eyes were cold: "The Qi family has always been loyal."

"What kind of bureaucratic accent is disgusting." Hua Qiong frowned, "If I kill him, it will do you no harm."

How can death be enough?To make him confess his crimes in front of everyone, and to wipe off the dirty water on his father's body, Qi Jian shook her head with a sneer and walked out of the palace.

Seeing the opportunity slipping away, Hua Qiong took out a stack of papers from her arms cruelly: "Qi Qingyu, before you refuse, you might as well read this first."
