Order of Heaven

Chapter 14 Chapter 14

In the early morning, on the Xishui Bridge.

The industrious farmers are rushing to work in their fields with iron hoes, and the peddlers are also rushing to the market with their loads of goods to start today's shouting. People of all kinds walk on the Lushui Bridge, making the originally spacious bridge deck look more beautiful. get crowded.

The water in the Xishui River is as clear as ever, flowing quietly, and from time to time, one or two water ducks swim past, leaving water patterns on the river surface.

The sound of lively conversation and birdsong rang in this comfortable morning.

But all this peace was immediately broken.

"Get out, get out!"

A rough middle-aged man's voice came from the bridge.

The middle-aged man pushed the pedestrians away and ran onto the bridge like he was running for his life. Soon, there was a commotion on the bridge.

The rampage of the middle-aged man caused a series of pushing and shoving on the already crowded bridge, and the person who was pushed away by the man accidentally bumped into someone else, which caused another quarrel.

Before the angry passers-by could condemn the man's rude behavior, they heard a group of people chasing the man shouting, "Stop, stop!"

Immediately afterwards, the group of people with sticks behind also caught up with the bridge.

The middle-aged man in front became more anxious when he heard the sound, he just pushed away and ran away regardless of who was in front of him.But it never occurred to him that he would never be able to run off the bridge again.

Just when the man pushed another person away and ran forward, something unexpected happened.

The man who was pushed away was unsteady and bumped into the old man who was carrying a big hoe behind him. The old man couldn't dodge in time, so he spun half a circle when he was hit, and the hoe he carried on his shoulder also spun half a circle. In the circle, it seems to have hit something in the middle.He seemed to hear a muffled groan, and when he managed to stabilize himself with a hand on the railing on the bridge, he found that the atmosphere on the bridge was a bit strange.

I saw that the man who was still rampant just now was lying motionless on the ground, with blood slowly oozing from the back of his head.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the man lying on the ground with wide eyes.A person next to him knelt down and sniffed the man's breath tremblingly, then sat down on the ground and took a few steps back, shouting in horror, "He's dead, he's dead!"

As soon as he yelled, the people on the whole bridge boiled up, and those who were frightened and panicked ran away in all directions; Watch the fun.

The old man who was carrying the hoe was already stunned by fright. He stared blankly at the scene in front of him. His trembling hands could no longer hold the hoe on his shoulders, and the hoe fell to his feet with a "clang".

The person next to him was awakened by the "clang", and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "It was him, he killed it!"

"Express officer!"

"Yes, yes, report to the official and let the official handle it."

The people around immediately started chattering, and some people also ran to the Yamen.

Seeing that the man was dead, the group of people chasing after the man cursed: "It's cheap, you drunkard, let's go." After speaking, the group of people left without looking back.

Fu Sheng and Quan Ling were walking slowly towards the bridge from the street beside the bridge. Through the hanging willows, they both saw the chaos on the bridge.

"Fu Sheng, something seems to have happened on the bridge." Quan Ling poked his head over there and said to Fu Sheng.

"Well, it looks like something went wrong." Fu Sheng also looked in the direction of the bridge and said.

"Then shall we go over and have a look?" Quan Ling asked with great interest.

Fu Sheng knew that Quan Ling probably wanted to watch the excitement again, but he felt that it might be another meaningless dispute, so he turned his head and stopped looking over there: "Let's forget it, it's nothing good-looking."

"Okay." Quan Ling glanced at the bridge, then at Fu Sheng, who was not interested, before giving up.

"Let's go, isn't it you who clamored for me to come out to accompany you to the market? Now is the time when it's lively, and I can let you go shopping to your heart's content." Fu Sheng said to Quan Ling with a smile.

Quan Ling became excited when he heard it, and took Fu Sheng's hand and left: "Then let's go, I'm going to be suffocated if my brother doesn't let me out these few days."

"You, you really can't stay here for a day." Fu Sheng raised his hand and pinched Quan Ling's nose.

"Hee hee hee~" Quan Ling rubbed her nose, pulled Fu Sheng and continued walking, completely forgetting what happened on the bridge just now.

The two came all the way to the busiest place in the market.

Quan Ling let go of Fu Sheng's hand, and happily walked towards those stalls and shops.Fu Sheng followed behind, seeing that she didn't like to shop for rouge and gouache, pearl hairpin jewelry and silk satins like other girls, but liked to shop for weapons, ingenuity and weird gadgets. It's interesting how different people are.

Quan Ling had a great time strolling in front, Fu Sheng didn't bother her, just followed behind, and occasionally looked at the things in the shop, but there was nothing eye-catching.

When passing by a small stall, something flickered in his eyes, and when he looked over, he found a silver bell hanging there reflecting the light of the sun, just hitting his eyes.

Fu Sheng went up to take it down, put it in his hand and looked at it, the color is good, and the pattern is also pleasing.Then Fu Sheng shook again, and the bell rang crisply, which reminded him of the crisp bell sound when he saw Quan Ling for the first time.

"Fu Sheng, Fu Sheng, come and have a look—" Quan Ling shouted to Fu Sheng in front of a shop.

Fu Sheng went there after hearing it, presumably she saw something she liked.

"What's wrong?" Fu Sheng walked up to Quan Ling and asked.

"Look, look!" Quan Ling excitedly pulled Fu Sheng to the cabinet.

On the top of the cabinet was a small dagger, Fu Sheng picked it up and held the handle and pulled it away, with a "Zheng", it was very vigorous.This dagger looks very ordinary in appearance, but when you pull it apart, you can see its sharpness and strength. It looks like a sharp and good dagger. Quan Ling has a good eye.

"You like it?" Fu Sheng put the dagger back together, turned around and asked Quan Ling.

"Yeah! It's pretty good!" Quan Ling nodded vigorously.

"Then buy it." Fu Sheng turned around and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I want this."

"Hey, here we come, guest officer." The shopkeeper with the two mustaches came over with a bunch of smiles.

"I'll buy it, Fu Sheng." Quan Ling took the dagger and handed it to the shopkeeper, "I want this."

"Okay, guest officer." The shopkeeper immediately ordered the waiter to take a delicate wooden box and put the dagger in it.

"Why are you still rushing to pay? Your brother Fu Sheng is not short of this money." Fu Sheng looked at Quan Ling with a smile and said.

"No, I want to buy it for you," said Quan Ling, looking shyly at Fu Sheng, "Of course I have to buy it myself."

"Give it to me?" Fu Sheng asked in surprise, "Don't you like it very much?"

"Yes, I think this dagger is very good, Fu Sheng, you like it too, don't you? So I bought it for you." Quan Ling said.

Fu Sheng took the wooden box that Quan Ling handed over and said thank you. He could see that Quan Ling really wanted to give this to him, so he didn't intend to refuse, after all, the relationship between the two was already so good.

When the two walked out of the shop, Fu Sheng took out the bell that he just bought and shook it in front of Quan Ling.Quan Ling's eyes lit up when she saw the bell, and Fu Sheng was sure that Quan Ling must like it very much, so she said with a smile: "I bought it just now, and I will give it to you."

Quan Ling happily took the bell, looked left and right, and shook it to hear its crisp sound, "Thank you, Fu Sheng, I like it very much."

"I just saw it and thought it suits you very well. Hang it up and have a look, little bell." Seeing her so happy, Fu Sheng also smiled.

"Fu Sheng, can you hang up for me?" Quan Ling asked expectantly.

Seeing the anticipation on her face, Fu Sheng didn't answer, took the bell directly, bent down and carefully hung it on her waist, and adjusted the hanging tassels.

Seeing the shining white bells around her waist, Quan Ling smiled, and suddenly jumped up and kissed Fu Sheng on the cheek, then ran away, leaving only a string of ringing bells and Fu Sheng with a dull expression.

Fu Sheng had just picked up the wooden box, but he didn't expect Quan Ling to kiss him suddenly, so he couldn't react for a while and stood there in a daze.

Fu Sheng looked at Quan Ling who ran away in front and fell into deep thought.

He felt that Quan Ling liked him, and he felt it when Quan Ling came all the way to find him, and then kept pestering him and being nice to him.

In his heart, Quan Ling is a very nice girl, although she is a bit willful, she is still kind-hearted.He also knows how good Quan Ling is to him, and he is willing to treat her well, after all, it is not easy to have a like-minded friend.

However, when he thought of Yue Yin, he became confused.

He felt that he could no longer tell how he felt about Yue Yin, Yue Yin had always been his brother Yue, but at some point, he felt that he didn't want Yue Yin to be just his brother Yue anymore.

Now there is another little bell.

Fu Sheng frowned and raised his steps to follow Quan Ling.

Quan Ling waited for Fu Sheng in front for a while, and when he saw Fu Sheng following up, he jumped to his side.

"Are you going to Brother Yue's house now?" Quan Ling looked at Fu Sheng's slightly frowning brows, and felt that she might have surprised him just now, so she diverted his attention with a smile.

"Huh?" Fu Sheng was so distracted that he didn't hear what Quan Ling said.

"Didn't you say that you would take me to Brother Yue's house after visiting the market?" Quan Ling said.

"Well, yes, you haven't been there yet, brother Yue's garden is very beautiful!" Sure enough, Fu Sheng's attention was diverted, and he no longer entangled with the problem just now.

"Really? Then I'll have to go shopping later." Quan Ling turned around and walked backwards and said happily.

"You won't be disappointed," Fu Sheng turned the subject again when he saw Quan Ling walking backwards on the crowded street, "Walk well and don't fall."

"No, don't worry!" Quan Ling returned to Fu Sheng's right hand.

The two came to the gate of Yue Mansion chatting and laughing, and the servant came out to welcome him as soon as he saw Fu Sheng.

"Young master Fu has come to look for my young master!" The servant said with a smile while welcoming the two of them in.

Fu Sheng went in directly every time he came, and Quan Ling came with Fu Sheng. Although the servant had never seen him, he knew that he was Fu Sheng's friend, so he didn't stop him from welcoming him in together.

Quan Ling followed Fu Sheng all the way in, and saw that the layout of the courtyard was really good, not as luxurious as her own home, but elegant and unique, with every flower and grass having a unique flavor.

When the two walked to Youli Lake, they ran into the housekeeper Li Rong.

"Master Fu, you're here." Li Rong greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Li, where is Brother Yue?" Fu Sheng also greeted, and asked where Yue Yin was, so there was no need to look for him.

"The young master is in the backyard." Li Rong said.

After Fu Sheng finished talking with Li Rong, he pulled Quan Ling who was playing with the carp by the lake and headed all the way to the backyard.

The backyard of Yuefu.

Yue Yin was wearing a strong outfit, and was pulling a full moon bow towards a distant archery target, the arrow left the string with a "squeak", and hit the target with a "clang".

Gong Que, who was watching from the side, applauded: "The more you chant, the better the arrow technique!"

Yue Yin took another arrow from behind and put it on it, saying: "This is all a small skill, I'm afraid you will be more powerful in the palace." After speaking, another arrow hit the bull's-eye.

It so happened that Fu Sheng and Quan Ling stepped into the courtyard and saw this scene. Both Fu Sheng and Quan Ling shouted: "Beautiful!"

Yue Yin and Gong Que turned their heads when they heard the voice.

"Good boy, you know you've come to find me!" Yue Yin went over and put his arms around Fu Sheng's shoulders, and then led him to the palace.

"Isn't it because you are too busy to disturb you that I didn't come?" Fu Sheng said with a curl of his lips after breaking away.

"Yeah, Fu Sheng has always wanted to come to you, but brother Yue, you are too busy!" said Quan Ling who came up behind him.

"You are all in the same group, so I won't argue with you." Yue Yin said to Quan Ling with a smile.

"It's rare to get together, so let's come over and sit down and have a good chat." Gong Que said from the side.

"That's right, Brother Gong Que is right." Quan Ling smiled and sat down.

Yue Yin and Fu Sheng passed away with a smile, and Gong Que poured everyone a cup of tea.

"Brother Yue's arrow just now is really beautiful, I can't do it." Fu Sheng chanted to Yue.

"Who told you to always be lazy when practicing archery, every time you make the master so angry." Yue Yin said.

"Is that all my fault? It's all because the master is too strict." Fu Sheng argued.

"I think it's because you are lazy and blame the master!" Quan Ling laughed from the side.

"Did Yue Yin and Fu Sheng learn from the same famous teacher?" Gong Que asked while holding tea.

"Fu Sheng and I both went to the same private school and practiced martial arts with the same master." Yue Yin returned.

"Every time the master scolded me for not being good at it, he told me to learn from brother Yue." Fu Sheng recalled the time when he was practicing martial arts with his master and said angrily, "Master doesn't know, every time the master in the private school said brother Yue was too restless You want to learn from me!"

"Hahahaha"

The three of them couldn't help laughing.

"Want to compete? Fu Sheng." Quan Ling blinked and asked Fu Sheng.

"You can also shoot arrows?!" Fu Sheng asked in surprise.

"Don't underestimate me, I might be better than you~" Quan Ling said mischievously.

"Compared to Bi, I don't believe that I can't compare to Brother Yue or your little bell!" Fu Sheng stood up and said.

"Is there a lighter bow?" Gong Que asked Yue Yue when he saw that the two of them were really going to compete.

"Yes, I'll ask someone to bring it over and watch the two of them compete." Yue Yin said with great interest.

The two talked and compared, Fu Sheng took Yue Yin's bow and took a stand, and Quan Ling also took the lighter bow that Jia Ding just brought and took a stand next to him.

"I'll see for a while." Quan Ling said confidently to Fu Sheng.

Fu Sheng put on the arrow and pulled the bow away: "Don't say I bully you later."

"Three arrows per person, the one with the highest number of rings wins." Yue Yin stood aside and said.

"Let's start." Gong Que said standing next to Yue Yin.

Fu Sheng and Quan Ling looked at each other and concentrated.

"Srust, rustle, rustle"

The two quickly shot all three arrows at the same time.

Yue Yin and Gong Que walked over to check the target, and when they saw them coming back, Fu Sheng and Quan Ling asked anxiously: "How is it? How is it?"

Yue Yin and Gong Que only looked at each other, then pursed their lips and smiled without speaking.

"Did I win, and you didn't say it because you were afraid that Fu Sheng would lose face?" Quan Ling laughed triumphantly.

"Little Bell! This is impossible!" Fu Sheng stood beside him with folded arms and was very confident.

"It's even," Gong Que said with a smile seeing the confident look of both of them: "The sum of the rings is the same."

"What?!" Both Fu Sheng and Quan Ling were shocked.

"It's true, I didn't expect Little Bell to be so powerful, Fu Sheng, you really should practice." Yue Yin patted Fu Sheng on the shoulder.

"Haha," Quan Ling said happily to Fu Sheng, "Be convinced, you may not be able to defeat me with a few more arrows."

"Hmph!" Fu Sheng turned his head and said to Yue Yin: "You compete with Big Brother Gong Que, and I will laugh at you too."

"Why compare with the palace and not with you?" Yue Yin teased Fu Sheng.

"Brother Yue, you are really bad. You know that Fu Sheng is no match for you." Quan Ling looked at Fu Sheng with a smile.

"Little bell!!" Fu Sheng shouted at Quan Ling.

"How are you coming? Palace." Yue Yin temporarily let Fu Sheng go.

"Please." Gong Que made a gesture of please to express his acceptance.

Yue Yin flicked his robe and went forward, picked up the bow and said to the palace: "Then I will come first, the rules are the same as before."

"There is no need for three arrows, one arrow." Gong Que said with a smile.

"You're confident enough!" Yue Yin shot an arrow, and it hit the bull's-eye.

Gong Que stepped forward to take the bow from Yue Yin's hand, set up an arrow, and shot an arrow at the target that Yue Yin had shot at. The arrow just split through Yue Yin's arrow and hit the bull's-eye.

Fu Sheng and Quan Ling next to him both applauded and praised Gong Que's skills. After Yue Yin saw it, he also admired Gong Que's archery skills. He felt that Gong Que said that he was good at archery before.

After Gong Que finished shooting, he only smiled at Yue Yin and didn't say much.

"Young Master Gong is so powerful, how about we discuss martial arts in the future?" Yue Yin raised an eyebrow at Gong Que.

"I will definitely accompany you." Gong Que chanted to Yue with a smile in his eyes.

Fu Sheng looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt that they were really a good match, and he didn't know where the strange thought came from, probably because of the inexplicable pampering feeling of Gong Que when he was singing to Yue Yue.

Fu Sheng thought that although he and Yue Yin had always had a very good relationship, they had never aroused Yue Yin's interest like Gong Que. He thought that Big Brother Gong Que would definitely become Brother Yue's close friend.
