Emperor Jiangtai rolls like water and Yiren

Hearing Ruoshui's words, Xuanyuanchen's eyes flashed with emotion, and he stretched out his withered hand to pass the brocade quilt to Ruoshui. Ruoshui frowned and looked at the hand, and after a long time, he finally gently shook it.

"Ruoshui, Lin Qi has already told me everything about your journey, I want to ask you, would you like to stay and assist Ye'er?" Xuanyuanchen coughed violently after saying this.

In a hurry, the prime minister stretched out his hand to comfort him, but Ruoshui was one step ahead of him, a silver needle flashed out of his hand, and pierced into the acupuncture point on Xuanyuanchen's chest.

The silver needle entered the body, the severe cough gradually subsided, Ruo Shui's eyes showed sadness, it turns out that no matter how great a person is, when he dies, he is also miserable.

Life is so short, if you still can't live according to your heart, when you die in the future, I'm afraid you will really leave too many regrets.

"Now that Xiliu dominates the south, successor problems will come one after another. Ruoshui, Ye'er needs someone who can be trusted by her side. Are you willing to be that person?"

As if wanting to take advantage of the smoothness of his breath to finish speaking, Xuanyuanchen's expression and tone were a little urgent.

"Don't worry, as long as he needs me, I will accompany him." After a long time, Ruoshui gave an affirmative answer, and he had already promised Weiming that even if Xuanyuanchen didn't mention it at this moment, he would not leave again.

There was a gleam of light on Xuanyuanchen's gloomy face, and he coughed violently again in a blink of an eye. This time, dark blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the violent coughing sound seemed to cough out his heart and lungs.

Looking at his miserable appearance, Ruoshui couldn't bear it, took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, took out a golden pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked him to take it.

After a long while, the cough gradually stopped, and the vomiting of blood also stopped. Xuanyuanchen slowly closed his eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep.

"My lord..."

"My medicine can slow him down for another day. Xuanyuan finally came back. I must have a lot to say to him, but he is indeed exhausted and powerless."

"This... hey, His Royal Highness has been kissing the emperor since childhood, and now..."

"You tell Xuanyuan to come in, I should go too."

The two walked out of the Yehua Hall together. Outside the hall, Xuanyuan stood beside the corridor pillars, but he didn't know where in the distance his eyes were always firm.

Looking at his expression, Ruoshui felt a slight pain in his heart, walked over and stopped beside him, and said in a low voice: "Xuanyuan, your father doesn't have much time, you go in and stay with him."

Xuanyuan turned back to look at him, nodded slightly and said, "I have sent someone to call Lin Qi, and you can go to his house to rest for a while."

"You don't have to worry about my affairs." Ruoshui replied with a reassuring smile.

Xuanyuan glanced at him again, turned around and walked into Yehua Palace.

Ruoshui looked at his back and sighed, no matter how strong a person is, it is inevitable to feel sad when facing the loss of a loved one, or perhaps, this is the most precious true love in the world.

After waiting for a while, Lin Qi came in from the outside, as soon as he saw him, he went up to meet him and asked in a low voice: "My lord, how is the situation of the emperor?"

Ruoshui shook his head, but didn't answer.

Lin Qi knew that Ruoshui's medical skills were superb, and now he knew the situation by looking at his expression, and immediately frowned and sighed heavily.

The two waited for a while outside the door of the Yehua Palace, but seeing that there was no movement inside, Lin Qi said to take Ruoshui back to the mansion to rest first.

On the way to the Lin Mansion, Ruoshui was listening to him talk about the glorious history of their Lin family. Both Lin Qi's grandfather and father were General Weiyuan. After his grandfather passed away, the title of general was passed on to his father. , had to resign and retire, and recuperated for several years before slowly getting better.

When his father retired, Lin Qi was still young, so the Emperor Chen said that he would keep the title of General Weiyuan for Lin Qi, and when he grew up and made military exploits, this title would still belong to the Lin family.

Ruoshui vaguely understood why Lin Qi felt so sorry for the death of the Chen Emperor. He must have wanted to inherit the title of General Weiyuan from the Chen Emperor.

Lin's Mansion is located to the west of the imperial city, and it does not cover a very large area, but because it is the General's Mansion, it is also quite magnificently built.

According to Lin Qi, if his grandfather and father hadn't been low-key, their general's mansion should have been almost the same as the magnificent prince's mansion.

After entering the gate of the mansion, the servants greeted him immediately. When Lin Qi introduced that Ruoshui was the gentleman who saved His Highness the Crown Prince, everyone was very excited.

It seems that after Lin Qi came back, he had already publicized it in the mansion.

"Lieutenant Lin, on the way back we heard that the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince have the intention of seizing the crown prince. Is this true?"

Handing Liuyun to the servants of the Lin family, Ruoshui followed Lin Qi to the wing room, and after putting down his luggage, he couldn't help asking.

Although the basis of the rumors is that the Chen Emperor will pass away and Xuanyuan will disappear, but if these two princes really have this kind of heart, they have to guard against it.

After all, even if Xuanyuan ascended the throne, as long as they wanted to, they could still come to force the palace.

Lin Qi frowned when he heard this, with worry in his expression, "The relatives behind the two princes are very powerful, and it seems that they really intend to compete for the crown prince, but now that His Royal Highness has returned, they should give up that idea Bar."

From Lin Qi's point of view, since Xuanyuan has returned, the prince dispute has become nonsense. Xuanyuan has been established as the prince since he was a child, and his succession to the Datong is justified and cannot be changed at all.

"If they really have this intention, Xuanyuan should guard against it."

"Well, the heart of defense is indispensable, I didn't think of this before."

Ruoshui nodded slightly, and turned to look at the courtyard outside the door. There are many maple trees planted in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion. Now that it is late autumn, the red maple trees in the garden are so beautiful that people's eyes are red.

Lin Qi noticed his expression and stood up suddenly, "Master Jun, Your Highness planted a maple tree with me in the backyard when we were young, do you want to go and see it?"

"Xuanyuan planted it with you?"

"Um."

Lin Qi's expression was full of excitement, seeing him like this aroused Ruoshui's curiosity, and he couldn't imagine what the tree planted by Xuanyuan would look like.

At the moment, the two went to the backyard together.

The maple trees in the backyard are more luxuriant than the front yard. As soon as you step into the garden, you feel that even the air is filled with red mist. The palm-sized leaves sway in the wind and make a "squeaky" sound. The late autumn brought a touch of liveliness.

Lin Qi led Ruoshui to a straight maple tree.

That tree was thicker than the other trees around it, and the maple leaves were darker in color, and it looked quite heroic.

"His Royal Highness seldom went out of the palace to play when he was young. Usually, we, the descendants of the royal family and nobles, went to the palace. That year, the emperor got up by chance and said that he wanted to watch a group of children planting trees in the competition. Because we are the only ones in the entire Orchid Court. I planted maple trees, so the emperor said, if you want to plant something special, go to General Weiyuan’s mansion to plant maple trees.”

Recalling the past when he was a child, Lin Qi was deeply moved. He caressed the tree trunk and turned around, and cried out happily, "Mr. Jun, come and see!"

Ruoshui was inexplicably shocked by his shout, and walked over quickly.

But I saw the word "night" neatly engraved on the lower part of the trunk with a thick bowl mouth.

Ruoshui suddenly laughed, he seemed to be able to imagine the young Xuanyuan trying to carve his logo on the tree he had worked so hard to plant with a carving knife.

"His Highness has been very strong since he was a child. In that year's competition, the other princes used transplants, because the emperor did not stipulate that they should be planted from seeds. At that time, the maple trees in the front yard were all newly planted, so they chose their own. Only His Royal Highness asked the gardener in the mansion for seeds, asked the planting precautions, and planted the tree himself."

If Ruoshui looked up at the other trees around, the colors were all pretty, but the trunks were not straight enough and a bit less heroic.

"It is said that plants and trees have feelings. This tree may have felt Xuanyuan's heart, but it looks like a tree like its owner. It looks quite like Xuanyuan."

Ruoshui's joke made Lin Qi laugh, he laughed for a long time, and then said: "Well, I think so too, this word is three years after the tree planting competition, the emperor announced that His Highness won the first place, especially asked him to engrave it on it himself of."

Ruoshui smiled slightly, brushing the word "night" lightly with his fingers, with tenderness in his eyes.

Lin Qi looked at him for a while, then suddenly changed the subject, "My lord, in fact, His Highness has been very lonely."

Ruoshui was taken aback by this sudden change, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lin Qi puzzled.

"I remember the first time I saw His Highness, he was only six years old. I was two years older than His Highness. When I saw him at that time, he was only so old."

As Lin Qi spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured to a height of more than three feet, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking like a kind brother.

Ruoshui didn't answer, and listened quietly.

"That was the first time I entered the palace with my father. The adults were discussing matters, and we children just wandered around. I accidentally broke into the Prince's East Palace, and ended up seeing His Highness."

"What is he doing?" Ruoshui seemed to find it interesting, and interrupted with a smile.

"I'm reading a book, such a small child, holding "Warring States Policy" and reading it."

Ruoshui couldn't hold back, "Puchi" laughed.

Lin Qi also laughed, but it was mixed with too much helplessness, "The East Palace is very big, much larger than other princes' residences, but in such a big place, only a small child of His Highness stays. When I entered, I was It was noon, and the palace people didn't know where to go to be lazy, His Highness sat alone by the window. At that time, I was glad that I was not born in the emperor's family."

Lin Qi's words were indeed out of emotion, and the words were full of sincerity.

Ruoshui looked up at the maple tree that looked like Xuanyuan, and following Lin Qi's words, pictures slowly appeared in his mind. He could imagine what kind of loneliness it was.

"After that, I have seen His Highness many times, but every time he is alone and quiet, unlike other princes who often laugh and fight. Mr. Jun, I haven't told you yet, in my impression Here, you are the only one who makes His Highness laugh."

These words with a lot of weight suddenly pressed on Ruoshui's heart, making him tremble.

Although he knew Xuanyuan's intentions a long time ago, hearing Lin Qi say this now, the meaning seems to be a little different, and it made him see the relationship between them more clearly.

"After His Highness inherits the throne, I'm afraid he will be even more lonely than when he was the crown prince, Mr. Jun, if he can have a confidant like you by his side, he will feel much better."

Lin Qi frowned slightly, and every word came out with a sigh.

Ruoshui just came to his senses and realized that Lin Qi was worried that he would leave, so he immediately grinned and couldn't help but said, "Lieutenant Lin, I just found out today that you like to talk around corners."

His words were too straightforward, and his expression was so vivid, Lin Qi blushed immediately, "This..."

"Don't worry, I won't leave for the time being." With a slight smile, Ruoshui decided to make Lin Qi feel at ease.

"Really?" Lin Qi's eyes glowed with excitement, and it seemed that he was almost not excited to offer a hug.

Ruoshui nodded, blinking slyly.

"Young master, Mr. Jun, you can have lunch now." At this moment, the servant came to ask the two of them to eat, Lin Qi and Ruoshui turned their heads at the same time, and smiled at each other.

"Let's go, Mr. Jun, let's eat." Lin Qi smiled all over his face, turned around and led the way with brisk steps.

Later on that day, Ruoshui chatted and joked with Lin Qi and the people in his residence in Lin's residence. The time passed quickly, but Xuanyuan in the palace had the most chaotic day in his life.

That night, there was a torrential rain in Lanting, and the bean-sized raindrops poured down from the sky, poured on the ground, and splashed huge water.

After dinner, Lin Qi was summoned to the palace again, and Ruo Shui stayed in the room alone, looking out the window at the cold autumn wind and rain, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

The night gradually darkened, and the silver moon that had been glowing faintly disappeared tonight. The dark clouds churning in the sky looked crumbling, and the lightning that flashed from time to time looked like a silver dragon.

There was no light in the wing room, and Ruoshui didn't feel sleepy either. After standing by the window for a long time, his legs were a little numb.

He sighed softly, turned around and sat down at the table.

The room was very dark, and he could barely see his fingers. Suddenly there was a crisp sound of jade falling to the ground. He lowered his eyes in surprise, and saw that the jade pendant he had casually put in his arms had fallen to the ground.

Reaching out to pick it up, the embossed nine-clawed dragon on the suet white jade became somewhat blurred under the dim candlelight for some reason. He held the jade pendant tightly, and the cold feeling of the jade seemed to penetrate into the skin, cool and prickly. It can't be waved away, and it can't be driven away.

At this moment, a loud bell sounded from outside the window, Ruoshui stood up abruptly, walked quickly to the window, and recognized that the bell sounded from the direction of the imperial city in the east.

The dull three-stroke bell is the death knell of the whole country's silent mourning, and the morning emperor has passed away!

Ruoshui slowly closed his eyes, and sighed softly, it turned out that the sudden uneasiness in his heart was caused by this matter.

Sister, the man you love has finally gone to find you, but I don't know if you will be happy about it?

Xuanyuan... I'm afraid she will be very sad, right?

After the bell rang, the rain outside the window was a lot less, and the drizzle enveloped the entire Lanting. It was God who was also crying for the passing of a generation of kings of the Xiliu Dynasty.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the courtyard outside the wing.

Ruoshui narrowed his eyes vigilantly, now that Lin Qiding is still in the palace, and all the servants in the mansion have gone to sleep, who came to the side room in the middle of the night without even mentioning a lantern?

Could it be that a thief entered the house?Thinking so in his heart, he turned sideways, held his breath and looked in the direction indicated by the footsteps.

Then I saw a person walking upright in the courtyard, stepping through the light rain all over the sky, without any cover, letting the rain drench his head and body.

The man was wearing a dark robe with an indistinguishable color, long hair and a crown, his complexion looked a little pale in the dark, but Ruoshui recognized his familiar figure in an instant.

His breath was blocked in an instant, his eyes widened, he walked to the door and pulled it open.

Outside the door, Xuanyuan, who was drenched all over, was looking up at him, there was no moonlight, Ruoshui couldn't see his expression clearly, it was just the dark tide in the deep eyes, passing through the night, falling directly into his heart.

"Are you crazy? You don't even hold an umbrella!"

When he came to his senses, he had dragged the drenched person outside the door into the house, annoyed that he didn't spare himself so much, Ruoshui even wanted to punch him a few times.

But Xuanyuan hugged him very tightly, almost being rubbed into that cold and stiff body.

The cold rain soon soaked through the white clothes on his body, Ruoshui shuddered, but he didn't break away from Xuanyuan's embrace.

He just felt a little breathless in his chest, but the thing that was stuck in his chest seemed to be able to dissolve in this embrace.

"Father, he... collapsed and passed away."

After a long time, Xuanyuan's dry voice rang out, it was so heavy that Ruoshui's words that were going to comfort him were all choked in his throat.

In the end, he could only nod his head slightly, he knew that all the comforting words at this moment were meaningless to Xuanyuan, and no words could soothe the pain of losing his father just now.

"Ruoshui, I have to prepare for the burial and enthronement of my father recently, so I can't come to see you often. I have already told Lin Qi that the servants of Lin's mansion will treat you just like him."

"National affairs are important. I don't need someone to take care of me. I'm more worried about you."

Xuanyuan shook his head when he heard the words, and let Ruoshui go, his expression was extremely tired, and his pale face looked a little embarrassed because of the rain.

Ruoshui looked at him distressedly, stretched out his hands to grab his soaked sleeves, frowned and said, "You're going to catch the cold like this, I'll ask someone to boil water for you to take a bath."

Xuanyuan grabbed Ruoshui who was about to go out, shook his head slightly, "I'm going back to the palace soon."

"Then you come..." Ruoshui looked at Xuanyuan suspiciously, wondering what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, this guy came in the rain late at night, it couldn't be just for a hug, right?

That doesn't fit Xuanyuan's personality, let alone the current situation.

Xuanyuan shrugged and looked straight at Ruoshui, "Father left a will to make you a prince with a different surname. I still want to respect your opinion, so I come to ask if you agree."

When Ruoshui heard that the Emperor Chen had left a will to make him king, he was a little surprised. Xuanyuanchen trusted him so much?Or is it because he is Jun Ruoyu's younger brother that he wants to make it up?

"It's really embarrassing for your father to be so considerate. How could I refuse his kind offer?"

"That's good, I'm still worried that you will feel that the title of prince is too restrictive."

"But if I don't have that title, I'm afraid my actions will be inconvenient in the future."

"Well, then I'll let the Ministry of Rites make arrangements."

"it is good."

The two discussed it, Ruoshui rummaged in the room, finally found an umbrella, and then sent Xuanyuan out, the raindrops outside the house made a soft whisper, like the gentle palm of a lover.

"Okay, you go back to the house, Lin Qi will be back soon, get some rest early." After walking along the corridor for a while, Xuanyuan stopped Ruoshui's footsteps.

Ruoshui nodded when he heard the words, looked at him and smiled slightly, "I won't see you off."

Xuanyuan gave a "hmm", lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, then turned and walked into the rain.

Under the dark sky, the straight back between the sky and the earth still looked strong, Ruoshui heaved a sigh of relief, and raised his brows and eyes in relief.

In the [-]th year of the Western calendar, the Xiliu Kingdom ruled the south, while Shengshui and Longxiang also dominated the west and the north, and the world fell into a situation of three kingdoms.

In the same year, Emperor Xuanyuanchen of Xiliujing Yuan collapsed and died.

Before the death of the morning emperor, he left a will——

Today, I, Xiliu, dominates the south, and the whole country celebrates together, which is very joyful. However, I am seriously ill, and I am going to die. It is really a pity that I cannot share the good news with my people.However, the Xuanyuan Dynasty is immortal and the spirit of Xiliu is immortal. One day, there will be a king in the world.

Crown Prince Ye, has a noble character and is deeply favored by me. He will surely inherit the great order and succeed me to the throne, that is, the throne of emperor.

Ruo Shui, a young man surnamed Jun, has a deep understanding of righteousness and is extremely alert. He joined the army halfway and made great contributions.

Lin Qi, the captain of the second-rank school, was loyal and meritorious in leading the army. He was promoted to General Weiyuan and worshiped as a first-rank official.

Other meritorious people will be rewarded for their merits after they ascend the throne at night.

At this point, the world is initially settled, and Wangye and all the lovers must remember to rest and recuperate, and return to the prosperity of Xiliuzi's Republic of China and the people's peace. In this way, I can rest in peace under the nine springs.

Three days later, Crown Prince Xuanyuanye ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Jingguang.

At this point in the history of Xiliu, a new page has been officially opened.

"Finish"

Drunk sex outside the episode

In the courtyard of Yin Mubai's mansion, Xuanyuan and Ruoshui, who were having a drink under the moonlight, were smiling and looking at each other. The night was quiet, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the silver moon hung in the sky, casting a gentle light.

"If there is a chance, I must see your piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Okay, even if you call the best luthier in your palace, you will bow down to me."

"Oh? Then I'll look forward to it. When we break the Baimi Kingdom, there must be a piano in the palace."

"Okay, it's a deal."

The two said their vows, and the wine glasses in their hands touched each other again. The melodious smiles in each other's eyes were reflected in each other's eyes, and they felt that there was tenderness flowing.

There was a burst of eager footsteps outside the courtyard, and after a while, Lin Xi appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and said to Xuanyuan with a smile: "Your Highness, we have won the battle today, and everyone is very excited, so... I want to ask you for instructions. Can I have a drink and party?"

Although Lin Qi had a smile on his face, after all, he knew that this request was a little too much, so there was a trace of hesitation in his tone, and after he finished speaking, he turned his eyes away to look at Ruoshui.

Since the expedition, everyone's nerves have been tense. It is rare to fight a big victory. It is understandable to want to have a carnival.

But after all, the battle is not over yet, with Xuanyuan's personality, I'm afraid they won't agree with them going to the carnival and relaxing at this moment.

What's more, it is now in Baimi territory, who knows if Yin Mubai will put his carbine back?

Sure enough, Xuanyuan didn't answer after hearing the words, and he couldn't see what he was thinking on his expressionless face. His eyes fell on Lin Qi's face, which was so calm that it was hard to understand his emotions.

The courtyard was so quiet that Lin Qi felt that the beating of his heart became extremely loud, and he could even hear the sound of blood flowing in his blood vessels.

He braced himself and waited for a while, then turned his gaze to Xuanyuan stiffly, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Highness, this subordinate realizes his mistake, I'll go now..."

"Xuanyuan, since we've already been drinking here, there's no reason why we shouldn't let the soldiers drink too much, as long as we don't drink too much and affect the march tomorrow, and we need to strengthen the defense to prevent Yin Mubai from attacking again." Ruoshui suddenly lightened He opened his mouth with a smile, interrupting Lin Qi's unfinished words.

His voice was very soft, and it drifted away from the night wind, and it wafted into people's ears. The smile in his words was irresistible.

Lin Qi was startled, his eyes widened slightly, his expression full of anticipation.

Xuanyuan glanced sideways at Ruoshui, sighed softly in his heart, and said lightly, "Don't get too drunk, if I find out, you will be punished severely."

These words agreed to Lin Qi's request, and he immediately replied excitedly: "Yes, this subordinate understands."

Seeing his excited expression, Xuanyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and waved his hand, indicating that he could back down.

Lin Qi didn't leave, his eyes were still fixed on Xuanyuan, he scratched his head after a while, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, we are going to have some activities, why don't you come with Mr. Jun?"

Xuanyuan raised his brows when he heard the words, thinking that Lin Qi would make progress.

Ruoshui already pursed his lips and laughed, stood up, turned to Xuanyuan and said, "It's boring for the two of us to drink here, so let's go together."

boring?Regarding this word, Xuanyuan frowned slightly.

For Ruoshui, drinking alone with him is very boring?

When Lin Qi saw Ruoshui got up, he knew that Xuanyuan would definitely come, and without waiting for Xuanyuan's answer, he turned around and ran away excitedly.

Xuanyuan stood up and looked at Ruoshui with burning eyes, as if he wanted to ask for an explanation for what he just said.

Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood his thoughts, couldn't help laughing immediately, patted Xuanyuan on the shoulder and said, "I'm not saying that drinking with you is boring, but it's not as interesting as drinking with everyone .”

Xuanyuan squinted at him with an expression of disbelief.

Ruoshui laughed even more.

The two left Yin Mubai's mansion and walked all the way to the camp where the army was stationed.

On the way, Xuanyuan glanced at the city gate from afar. The two groups of soldiers stationed there were serious and unrelenting.

The atmosphere in the camp was full of enthusiasm, the soldiers were laughing and laughing, and when they saw Xuanyuan, they were stunned for a moment.

Probably Lin Qi didn't tell them when he came back, but seeing him suddenly, everyone's eyes widened.

Xuanyuan, however, seemed to be used to their reaction, and just waved his hand casually, motioning for everyone to continue.

I found Lin Qi in the crowd, he was discussing something loudly with Captain Xie.

"Your Highness, Mr. Jun, you are here. We are deciding on rewards and punishments and rules." Seeing Xuanyuan and Ruoshui approaching together with sharp eyes, Lin Qi smiled and waved at them.

The camp was stationed very close to the Baimi Military Academy. Passing through the school, you could see the archery target standing upright in the distance. Under the night, the archery target almost blended with the night, making it hard to see clearly.

"Your Highness, everyone has decided to compete in archery. If you lose, you will be punished, and if you win, you will be rewarded. The challenger can choose the object of the challenge. If the challenge is successful, you will be rewarded with a glass of Baimi's specialty rice wine, which we bought in the store earlier; If you fail the challenge, you will be punished with a bowl of wine we brought, of course, whether you want to challenge or not is up to your own will.”

Lin Qi explained enthusiastically, while pointing to Xuanyuan the wine glasses and bowls lined up on the table next to him.

After Xuanyuan listened quietly, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Qi and said, "The reward and punishment are all wine, it seems a bit inappropriate."

"In the opinion of His Highness?"

"Whoever loses, go to the city gate to patrol for an hour."

As soon as Xuanyuan finished speaking, Ruoshui laughed "puchi", "It's rare for everyone to play once, why do you want to spoil the scenery like this?"

Originally, the rewards and punishments mentioned by Lin Qi would make people feel happy no matter what they were, but Xuanyuan's proposal was a completely different matter.

Unexpectedly, after Lin Qi and Xie Xiaowei looked at each other, they both smiled and said: "My lord, Your Highness's proposal is very good, but we didn't think it through carefully. With such a punishment measure, everyone will not Really overplayed it."

After all, there is going to be an army march tomorrow, it is rare for Xuanyuan to agree to let everyone relax tonight.

Ruoshui raised his eyebrows, knowing what Lin Qi and the others were thinking, he smiled and nodded without any objection.

The rules of the game were quickly conveyed. When everyone heard that they had lost the challenge and went on patrol for an hour, they didn't even have the slightest objection, as if Xuanyuan's request was a matter of course.

The game started soon. Xuanyuan and Ruoshui sat by the bonfire and watched everyone play. The joyous atmosphere of the soldiers came wave after wave. Even if they didn't participate in it personally, they could deeply feel their emotions.

That kind of laughter from the bottom of my heart makes people feel very satisfied.

"Your Highness, I want to challenge you, can I?" Lin Qi walked up to Xuanyuan and asked with a smile after dozens of people had played.

The arena suddenly fell silent, those who were competing or watching, those who were joking or those who were quiet, all turned their heads to look this way.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked straight at this side, with nervousness and excitement, anticipation and excitement, all kinds of different expressions made Ruoshui couldn't help curling up the corners of his mouth.

Sure enough, since Xuanyuan was present tonight, it was impossible to stay out of it.

Xuanyuan thought for a moment, nodded and stood up, and when walking forward with Lin Qi, he asked lightly: "You want to go on patrol that much?"

If you don't want to go on patrol urgently, there's no need to challenge someone who is sure to lose, right?

Lin Qi smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line, "Your Highness, although I can't match your martial arts, but your archery skills are hard to say. I remember when we were young, we competed with arrows, and you didn't beat me every time. Bar?"

I remember when I was twelve or thirteen years old, the emperor liked to gather the princes and their companions together for archery competitions. At that time, I and His Highness had mixed results, always taking the top two.

Thinking of the glory of the past, Lin Qi couldn't help but feel more confident about the next game, and the smile on his brow and eyes deepened.

If these words were put in normal times, Xuanyuan would probably not respond to them. He would draw the bow expressionlessly, set up the arrows, and then speak with the facts.

But today he was probably in a good mood, Xuanyuan's expression was much more lively than usual, he raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced sideways at Lin Qi, and said softly but clearly, "You also know that it happened when you were a child."

One sentence made Lin Qi's eyes widen, and he opened his mouth to refute, but it seemed that he couldn't find the right words all at once.

The surrounding soldiers all laughed, and then watched their competition with great interest.

Ruo Shui sat on the spot and narrowed his eyes with a smile, his gaze was always on Xuanyuan.

Through the light of fire in the air, he saw that Xuanyuan's deep eyes were full of seriousness, and the hands that drew the bow were steady and powerful, and the bowstring was in his hands, as if there was no resistance at all.

What a stuffy fellow.Ruoshui thought so in his heart.

Even in such a game, Xuanyuan has to go all out. This guy probably doesn't have the word slack in his mind, right?

With two soft "chuckles", the arrows in Xuanyuan's and Lin Qi's hands flew out at the same time, and the two arrows rushed straight towards the distant target. The powerful aura almost tore the air together.

Everyone stared at the two arrows with bated breath. The distant archery target was lit with candles on both sides after the game started. At this moment, the red bull's-eye under the swaying light and shadow looked a little blurry.

There were two sounds of "chuck", and the arrow hit the target at the same time. The nearby soldier who was in charge of checking the results immediately ran over to look at the target, and then shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness has won."

"Ah, it was almost there!" Lin Qi saw from a distance that his arrow hit the edge of the red circle of the bull's-eye, while Xuanyuan's arrow hit the center of the bull's-eye, and he couldn't help sighing angrily.

Captain Xie patted Lin Qi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, losing to His Highness is not something to be ashamed of, your accuracy is already very good."

Among the people who competed before, none of them could shoot into the red circle. After all, the light at night is still too dark, even if a candle is lit, it will still affect the aiming.

Lin Qi sighed again, took a glass of wine and handed it to Xuanyuan, "Your Highness, I lost."

Xuanyuan was not polite either, took the wine and drank it with a tilt of his head.

The rice wine of Baimi country is quite famous in the south, Xuanyuan had heard of it before, but it was the first time to drink it, and he felt that the wine was mellow and sweet, and the aroma of the wine did not melt after drinking, it was indeed a good wine.

With Lin Qi's precedent, others have the courage to challenge Xuanyuan. Of course, the key is not victory or defeat, but being able to compare arrows with His Highness the Crown Prince at such a close distance.

Xuanyuan naturally knew what they were thinking, so he would not refuse anyone who came, as long as someone challenged him, he would accept it.

After a while, more than a dozen glasses of wine on the table went into Xuanyuan's stomach.

However, there were still many people excitedly waiting to challenge Xuanyuan, hoping that Xuanyuan's arrows would be dazzled if he shot too many arrows, and then he would shoot a wrong arrow when he was competing with himself.

Xuanyuan gradually felt that his head was a bit heavy, and when he drew the bow again, he felt that the strength of his fingertips seemed to have been melted away by the alcohol in his body.

The archery target in the distance became somewhat blurred, and he frowned, trying to see clearly ahead, but there was always a hazy light flickering in front of his eyes.

"It seems that His Highness can only stop here. I shot this arrow for him. The game should be over, right?"

Ruoshui who didn't know when came to Xuanyuan's side smiled and opened his mouth, stretched out his hand, and took the bow that he couldn't draw from Xuanyuan's hand.

Xuanyuan looked at him in a blink of an eye, his deep eyes were misty.

Lin Qi and the others also saw that Xuanyuan seemed to be a little drunk, and immediately agreed to Ruoshui's proposal, but they were still a little strange in their hearts, remembering that His Highness has a good capacity for alcohol, why is it so fast now?

Ruoshui supported Xuanyuan's arm and let him lean against the side table, drew the bow and set the arrow in a very standard posture, and then shot the arrow in one breath.

Although he doesn't play much in archery, he is quite accurate.

The arrow that hit the red heart made him win easily, and after drinking a glass of rice wine, he helped Xuanyuan walk to Yin Mubai's mansion.

"My lord, do you really not want to help?" Lin Qi called out worriedly from behind.

Ruoshui didn't look back, and replied loudly, "Don't worry."

"Ruoshui."

Walking halfway, he suddenly heard Xuanyuan with his head down calling his name in a low voice, Ruoshui raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and looked at him sideways, "Why?"

"You come to compare with me, none of them can beat me, it's boring." A soft grunt, the word at the end of the sentence is so soft that it can hardly be heard.

Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

what is this?Are you talking nonsense?So Xuanyuan would be so childish after being drunk?Or could he be described as...cute?

"I haven't compared arrows with others for many years. Apart from practicing martial arts with my master when I was young, I like riding and arching the most..."

Xuanyuan's head leaned obliquely on Ruoshui's head, and when he spoke, his head shook slightly, and the two heads kept rubbing against each other.

Ruoshui seemed to be able to feel the heat on Xuanyuan's scalp, and the heat continuously emerged from Xuanyuan's head, penetrated the long hair of the two of them, and passed directly into his mind.

Suddenly, there was a feeling that I was also drunk.

"Ah, boy Ruoshui, what's the matter, Your Highness?" Not far ahead, Mr. Fu was walking towards this side with a jug in hand, and asked in surprise when he saw Xuanyuan's crooked figure and footsteps.

Ruoshui recovered from the intoxicated feeling, and smiled at Mr. Fu: "Mr. Fu, why didn't you tell me last time that Xuanyuan's drinking capacity is so bad?"

"His Royal Highness is poor in drinking? You are not kidding
