Hengnan is windy

Let me teach you, okay? "

Situ Hengnan's eyes lit up, and Huo Feng followed suit.

Later, Situ Hengnan started the basic practice of horizontal strokes and vertical strokes. After practicing for a long time, he finally became able to write more gracefully.After these basic skills are solid, he officially started to practice calligraphy.

For a few days, it seemed that my husband was going to give lectures in the center of the imperial city, so he took a short vacation.

Of course Situ Hengnan would not be idle, he dragged Huo Feng out to play again after he was almost done practicing calligraphy.

The wind was not too strong during this period of time, and it gradually warmed up.

Situ Hengnan ran with Xiao Xing'er in one hand and the kite in the other.

"Xing'er's butterfly is flying!" Situ Xing'er's baby fat face was filled with a smile.

Huo Feng watched them from the side, and also quietly watched the flying butterfly kite.

After a while, Xu was tired from running. The sweaty Situ Hengnan led the blushing Situ Xing'er over and drank a few mouthfuls of water.

"Brother Zixin is also coming to play." Situ Xing'er drank two sips of water and tugged on La Huofeng's sleeve.

"Okay." Huo Feng smiled slightly.

But that day, originally it was to fly a kite with Situ Xing'er, but later it became a competition between Huo Feng and Situ Hengnan.

Huo Feng didn't run too slowly, he was on par with Situ Hengnan, but in the end the strings of the two kites got mixed up and landed far away on the grass.

Maybe there was no victory or defeat between them a long time ago, only fetters.

☆, Lantern Festival

The snow in the imperial city usually disappears on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Huo Feng still opened his eyes to carefully look at the fine snow that was not common before.

Suddenly, hands behind him covered his eyes. Although Huo Feng's tone was somewhat helpless, with a smile on his lips, he called out the person behind him: "Situ."

"Have you never seen snow before? Why are you so curious when you see snow?" Situ Hengnan put down his hand, and a vigorous voice came, "Didn't you see it when you first came here? Last year's snow was relatively heavy , not so big this winter."

Huo Feng's hands were covered with small snowflakes, which melted after a while.

Calculating confusedly, he has been in Situ's Mansion for more than a year, and the remaining part is nearly half a year.

For more than a year, as General Situ said, he accompanied Situ Hengnan to study and practice martial arts, and his body gradually grew stronger. He was not used to the weather in the imperial city, but felt cold a few times. It also got better soon.

It was a particularly cold day when we saw snow for the first time.The pines and cypresses of the General's Mansion are covered with snow, as if covered with wind and frost.

And Huo Feng stood under the oldest pine, staring at the flying of unformed snow particles.Situ Hengnan also leaned over to cover his eyes at that time.

Situ Xing'er stood in the courtyard chasing the falling snow particles and asked, "Why isn't snow sweet?"

"Because... because no one adds sugar to the snow!" Situ Hengnan turned around and made up an answer casually, then cupped Xing'er's face with both hands, "It's windy here, Xing'er, let's go play inside!"

Situ Hengnan coaxed Situ Xing'er into a nap, then bouncing out of the inner hall, seeing Huo Feng still looking at Xue, he took his hand.

"It's all frozen." Situ Hengnan put Huo Feng's hands between his own and covered them, breathing heavily.

"No problem." Huo Feng withdrew his hand.

"It's okay." Situ Hengnan frowned deliberately, and then pulled Huo Feng into the room.

There was so much charcoal fire in the General's Mansion that it almost divided the inner room and the outside world into two worlds of ice and fire.

This year, the maids in the General's Mansion tied up lanterns as usual.After the sacrifice to heaven, General Situ will go to Puning Temple with his wife to practice Taoism and pray for the new year when he has free time for the past two days.

Situ Hengnan was not interested in giving lectures on Daoism at all. Although it was cold recently, he still dragged Huo Feng around.

Situ Mansion in Lantern Festival was also very lively, Situ Hengnan greeted casually, then dragged Huo Feng and Xing'er to the street to play.

General Situ's mansion is located in the outskirts of the city, next to a famous street in the imperial city. At this time, because of the Lantern Festival, the shops and stalls are lit up with lanterns one after another, making it a splendid scene.

Every year, some people will come up with some puzzles for people's entertainment, and sometimes there are some small rewards.

Walking through the streets is more like passing through a sea of ​​lanterns, colorful and bright.

"Zixin, come here!" Situ Hengnan pulled Huo Feng past him, and accidentally bumped into the person in front of him.

A strong hand supported him.

Looking up, it turned out to be Ruoxuan who was following Chenyu.

Ruoxuan still has a cold expression, although there is no hostility, but it never makes people feel friendly.

"Hey, Brother Nan, Zixin, so you are here too." A grinning voice came from behind, and it really was Chen Yu.

"Why are you here?" Situ Hengnan quickly stood up and looked at him strangely.

Chen Yu seemed a little unconvinced, and said, "What? You can come to play, but I can't?"

"Who said we're here to play?" Situ Hengnan raised his eyebrows, "I'm going to get down to business."

"Business? What business?" Chen Yu became interested in his words, "Isn't the business of the Lantern Festival just to play?"

Even Huo Feng was a little strange, Situ Hengnan didn't come out to play, so what could it be?

Situ Hengnan pulled Huo Feng through the crowd, Chen Yu and Ruoxuan also followed.

In the end, they all stopped in front of an old yard, which was already some distance away from Shangwan Street. They could barely hear some sounds from the street. It was quiet, but there was a child's silver bell-like laughter inside. The sound broke the original silence.

Situ Hengnan knocked on the door, and someone inside answered "Here we are", and the door was opened.

"Ah, it's Mr. Situ, come in quickly." A woman with a gentle face opened the door.

"Aunt Qing, these are my friends, Ayu, Zixin, and Ruoxuan." Situ Hengnan briefly introduced Huo Feng and Chen Yu.

Aunt Qing nodded and said, "The three young masters, please come in too."

There were a few children chasing and playing in the courtyard, but the clothes were a bit worn out, and there were many patches on the rough shirts. In the bustling imperial city, not many people knew that there was such a place here.

There were also a few children who were just sitting quietly on small stools, making lanterns and gesticulating with their hands from time to time.

Seeing someone coming, two children immediately came out with three small benches.

"Brother...brother, please sit down." The girl holding the bench spoke awkwardly, and pointed to the bench.

"Okay." Situ Hengnan sat down, and Huo Feng and Chen Yu also sat down.

In the yard, there are some skeletons of unfinished lanterns and unglued colored paper, some of which are scattered around in a mess.

Aunt Qing collected the things on the ground and said, "You three young masters, take a rest first, and I will cook Yuanxiao for you later."

Situ Hengnan responded, then picked up a bamboo branch and started weaving by himself.

Huo Feng had never been here before, nor did he hear Situ Hengnan mention it. After Aunt Qing entered the kitchen, he asked, "Situ, where is..."

Situ Hengnan replied: "The children here are all orphans, and most of them have some disabilities, so they will be discarded. Aunt Qing's elder sister used this yard to house these children. Last year, Aunt Qing's elder sister passed away, so they were taken care of by them." She came to continue to maintain. I come here every Lantern Festival and New Year's Eve."

Some of the children who sat quietly looked at them with wide-open eyes, and some just used their hands to feel the shape of external objects, and slowly weaved the skeleton of the unformed lantern.

Those children who were chasing and fighting said "Hello, brother" a few times and then got into the kitchen.

Chen Yu picked up a piece of bamboo and wondered, "Since you know, why didn't you help?"

This is said with a bit of rebuke.

Huo Feng picked up the paper on the ground, there were crooked handwriting on it, and there were some lantern riddles written on it.

The few children who rushed into the kitchen seemed to have stolen their tongues, and ran over excitedly. The children were talking about something in a low voice, and then went to a small room one by one to take out lanterns of different colors.

Situ Hengnan wanted to answer something, but was suddenly stopped by a girl.

The girl nodded to the other boys, and the boys continued to divide the lanterns into groups according to their colors.

In total, there are four ways.Moon white, frost color is one way; dark blue, lake blue, etc. are another way; emerald color, pine flower color, light green are one way; red color, orange, goose yellow is the most vivid way.

These lanterns are inscribed with different riddles.

"Xu'er, do you want us to compete?" Situ Hengnan squatted down and patted the little girl's head.

Xu'er nodded, and Situ Hengnan stood up and said, "How about it, let's compare and guess lantern riddles!"

Therefore, Chen Yu didn't ask that question for the time being, and said, "Let's take the blue road."

Huo Feng chose the green road, Ruoxuan didn't want to participate in it, but chose the light-colored road according to Chen Yu.

"The blue shirt is wet at the end of the song." Chen Yu read out the first riddle, "Extreme joy begets sorrow."

"Five sentences, three words and two words."

"A bottomless pit, unfathomable."

"Two, three, four, five, six, seven, lack of clothes ([-]) and food ([-])."

Chen Yu Yiyi easily guessed his blue Yiyi lantern.

Huo Feng's way is a bit special, the riddle is embroidered on it, and he patiently let those blind little girls figure out the shape of the characters before he can tell the answer, so he is slower than Chen Yu.

Ruoxuan just neatly put a note with the answer on the lantern.

Only Situ Hengnan was stuck on a puzzle in the middle for a long time, scratching his head and smiling innocently.

"Rou Lu doesn't stop but throws." Chen Yu leaned over and read out the riddle, "You can't even understand the riddle, no wonder you can't guess it."

"It's clear that my road is too difficult." Situ Hengnan was a little dissatisfied, "Then you tell me what it is."

"It's so simple, I won't tell you." Chen Yu made a grimace.

At this moment, Aunt Qing came out of the kitchen and said, "Have you finished solving the lantern riddles? The Lantern Festival is ready."

"Brother Nan hasn't finished guessing." A little boy walked up to Aunt Qing and pointed at Situ Hengnan.

"Oh?" Aunt Qing raised her eyebrows, "I didn't guess how many, so I ate a few less."

Having said that, Aunt Qing still served a few large bowls for their foreign guests.

The dining table is just a few small tables moved out of the house, most of which are missing corners.

In the night, the courtyard was full of laughter and steaming.

"Zixin, what is the answer to that riddle?"

On the way home, Situ Hengnan was still entangled in the saying "the oar does not stop, but oars".

"It's letting go." Huo Feng replied.

"Why?" Situ Hengnan was puzzled.

"That's what it means." Huo Feng explained, "Sailing with the wind, riding the wind and breaking the waves, you don't need to use sculls or paddles, and the boat is fast, isn't it okay to let it go?"

"So that's what it means." Situ Heng Nanyang smiled.

Although he is not very interested in poetry now, he is very inquisitive, and he has accumulated a little over time, but he still can't figure out some less famous poems.

"So, Situ, what are your plans for those children?" Huo Feng felt that he was getting old, so he adjusted his tone, "You want to build a school for them, so you have been working with the general a few days ago Discuss with Steward Lu?"

Situ Hengnan's eyes lit up, and he replied: "That's true. But since Chen Yu knows, it's naturally a lot easier."

The two teenagers looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, I actually made an agreement with them to build a school and plant wisteria there. Let's plant it together when spring comes." Situ Hengnan clenched his fist with one hand and hammered it with the other. palm.

"Okay." Huo Feng agreed.

☆, spring hunting (1)

Because Situ Hengnan was able to participate in the spring hunting, he was so excited that he almost couldn't sleep, and he barely fell asleep until late at night.In the dream, he was still riding a horse and shooting arrows. He had set his sights on a wild wolf, but unexpectedly shot a fat pig.

With a sob in frustration, he woke up unexpectedly.

Although he was a little ecstatic at first because of the limited sleep, Situ Hengnan cheered up soon after, especially when he saw the snow-silver longbow that Butler Lu had prepared for him.He tried this snow-silver longbow for a few days before, and he thought it was very good.

Huo Feng was dressed in a water-colored shirt, with a restrained and heavy temperament. He was just riding a horse, and his figure was a little unstable.The horses they are riding now are all mild-tempered horses raised by the mansion, and they are not fast.They had taken a few riding lessons together. Huo Feng was not very good at riding at first, but he just learned quickly, but he has always ridden very well.

But in the middle of the journey, Situ Hengnan felt that Huo Feng was riding a little hard, so he got off his horse and jumped on Huo Feng's horse.

The horse roared a little because of the extra person, but Situ Hengnan immediately pulled the rein skillfully.The horse trotted for a while before returning to normal speed.

"Heng'er, don't mess around." General Situ scolded in a low voice, "The Holy One and the sons of several families will be here later, so be careful with your words and deeds."

"Understood, Daddy." Situ Hengnan replied.

He caressed Huo Feng's hand casually, only to notice that the white jade-like hand was glowing red.

A warm current of distress flooded his heart, Situ Hengnan leaned closer to Huo Feng, and said softly: "You don't often ride a horse, and you are not used to holding this rein. We will soon be at the hunting ground."

In fact, it is said that it is fast, because the officers and soldiers let the people give way in advance, so that the road is easier to walk.

After half an hour, they arrived at the hunting ground.

The dark area is full of children from aristocratic families who can be said to be famous in the imperial city.Each family is divided into different tents.

Naturally, the people and horses all arrived on time. At first, Situ Hengnan hated each other's pleasantries.

Prime Minister Shen brought his eldest son Shen Heng, his second son Shen Ke, and his daughter Shen Rong over,

"Brother Shuo, it's been a long time." Prime Minister Shen smiled and greeted General Situ.

Everyone knows that Prime Minister Shen and General Situ once had the friendship of classmates, which can be regarded as a deep friendship.However, due to the busy government affairs and due to their identities, the two governments do not often communicate with each other except for festive seasons.Only in such public places can there be intersection.

"Brother Ye, long time no see." General Situ laughed heartily, "Heng'er and Ke'er are both so old. Is this Rong'er, the jewel in your palm? She's really slim."

The two gentlemen with outstanding temperament and the young lady Shen who looked very juicy saluted slightly as a sign of respect.

After giving the salute, Miss Shen looked in the direction of Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng, and finally her gaze fell on Situ Hengnan.

"Hahahaha, Rong'er and Hengnan were born in the same year, right? I heard that Hengnan has been practicing martial arts for many years at such a young age, it really lives up to expectations!"

Situ Hengnan only responded perfunctorily, "Thank you for the compliment".

Huo Feng felt the eyes of the prime minister and the young master looking over, but he just closed his eyes slightly and didn't say a word.

The princes brought by Shengshan are undoubtedly the most respected princes, especially His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, the son of the current empress, who was said to have a dragon-shaped auspicious cloud floating in the sky when he was born, which made the emperor very happy.But anyone with a discerning eye in the court knew that His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the former empress, was already the crown prince in the heart of the Holy One.Moreover, the Holy One had a very deep relationship with the late empress, and the unfortunate death of the late empress was also an eternal regret in the Holy One's heart.But now that the Queen is backed by a strong force, naturally he will not be reconciled to the clever Seventh Prince being just a feudal lord.

Apart from the First Prince and the Seventh Prince, only two other older princes came to the hunting ground this time.

Situ Hengnan had never been in the palace, and he didn't know any princes.Originally, he was very curious to look at the prince, but he didn't expect to see a very familiar person.

"Ah..." Situ Hengnan blurted out, and swallowed the "jade" under the warning of General Situ's wink.

He rubbed his eyes immediately, and he was [-]% sure.

"Zixin, do you think that is..." Situ Hengnan pouted slightly towards the prince.

Huo Feng nodded.

Now Situ Hengnan is very sure.

Although he had prepared himself psychologically early, he didn't expect that "Liu Yu" was actually the Seventh Prince Chen Yu.

Although it is a large-scale hunt, it also follows the principle of "point to end".After all, spring is the season of recovery of all things, and it is not suitable to kill.

The Holy Majesty shot a wild deer symbolically, and everyone started hunting.But the protagonists of this hunt are these young men.

Although it was a hunt that ended at the end of the day, when it came to the level of competition, there was always a passion among the famous families.

Putting on the armor and carrying the longbow, Situ Hengnan got on the horse.

But he didn't see Huo Feng who was traveling with him.

Ben turned to look for Huo Feng, but met "Liu Yu" without thinking.

"Ah..." Situ Hengnan almost blurted out again, but he reacted respectfully and called "Your Highness the Seventh".

The young man in front of him was dressed in a golden robe, but he was not wearing any armor yet, and besides being extravagant, he also had a deterrent aura.But he laughed heartily, breaking the depression all at once.

Situ Hengnan also raised his head, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"It turns out that 'Yunan' is the famous Mr. Situ. It's a pleasure to meet you." Chen Yu's smile is more like a smile of a successful trick, "So, we can be considered even."

It turned out that the other party had the same idea, and Situ Hengnan felt that he misunderstood this person.

"Yes, it's even." As soon as Situ Hengnan finished speaking, he didn't expect Chen Yu's attention to be on the snow-silver bow on his body.

"Brother Nan's longbow is unique, I think you are the one who can ask Father for a reward." Chen Yu came over and looked at the longbow carefully.

Ruoxuan on the side stared at Chen Yu's every move, which made Situ Hengnan a little uncomfortable.

Situ Hengnan slightly turned his horse's head, and said, "Your Highness Seventh, I'm going to find Zixin. I'll see you in the hunting grounds and take my farewell."

Chen Yu originally wanted to call him, but the eldest prince walking by called him, so Chen Yu also went to do the preparations.

Situ Heng walked back towards the tent in the south, but he heard a few disciples from aristocratic families who happened to pass by talking about something.What caught his attention was because the visitor mentioned the words "Situ" and "General".

"...Do you think that is the general's illegitimate son? What does it mean to bring it so openly? That man speaks foreign dialect." One of the children teased.

"Don't tell me, I really want to laugh when I hear it. A servant in our house used to have that kind of accent, it seems to be, it seems to be Southwestern dialect! Hahahaha! I still like to hear it." Another child laughed even more Sheng.

"The Southwest is a poor and remote place. My father still wants me to go there for two years to serve as a governor. I don't want to. But I like to hear what they have to say." Another son of a high-ranking official took up the conversation.

But before they had time to say another sentence, a sharp arrow shot from the slightest distance in front of them and pierced into the tree next to it.

Situ Hengnan had already clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, he fastened an arrow and sent it out.

The few people he knew were all important officials in the court or sons connected to the clan.

"You, you, Situ Hengnan!" The leader pointed his finger at Situ Hengnan, his face trembling with anger.

The other two were calmer, but still looked shocked.

"How bold you are! You know..."

"I know your father is Duke Ding."

"you!"

Ding Guogong's young son was very dissatisfied with Situ Hengnan's tough attitude.

However, Situ Hengnan rode up to him and said in a threatening tone, "If you continue to laugh at the people in Situ's residence, I won't care about my identity."

Situ Hengnan sharpened his eyes on purpose, put down his words, and ran towards another place.

☆, spring hunting (2)

I don't want Huo Feng to tie up the wound of a horse, there are fine beads of sweat on his forehead, he finally stopped the bleeding, he wants to ask someone who knows how to heal animals to take a look, and when he looks up, he sees Situ Hengnan He rushed over in a hurry.

Situ Hengnan probably knew what was going on, but he still held onto Huo Feng and said anxiously: "The hunt has almost started, I'll call someone to come and see."

"Situ," Huo Feng withdrew his hand, "Hunting is a competition for the children of the aristocratic family, I can't go. Those people... are just talking gossip."

Huo Feng's voice gradually dropped, and it was only when Situ Hengnan came to such a critical point.

Hunting is not an ordinary game, but a competition of aristocratic families.Ancestor Situ has royal blood, and has made many meritorious deeds, so he also has a good reputation as a descendant of a family.Although he is tired of these titles, he has to admit that identity is an excellent protective barrier.

The gossip I heard today was actually talked about by people in the house earlier, but it was covered up by the words of the "book boy" or the accompanying son.

This is not nonsense, but Huo Feng studied and practiced martial arts with him, and the General Zhen Guo's House never cared much about these superiors and inferiors.

But the term "book boy" always feels inferior, so Situ Hengnan doesn't like this title very much.The statement of the young master who accompanied me seemed a bit strange.

Seeing that Huo Feng closed his eyes, and the hunt is about to start, why not give the emperor face?Situ Hengnan could only ask him to wait aside, and straddled his horse to the hunting ground. He greeted the people from the medical department and asked them to send someone to look at the horse.

A high platform was built outside the hunting ground, and a big tent was temporarily added. The emperor sat on the main seat, and there were neat seats on both sides. Those dignitaries had already taken their seats.

Shen Heng and Shen Ke went to meet the emperor early, and the people at the Zhou banquet echoed the emperor's praise and praised the two outstanding young masters again and again.

Situ Hengnan was the last one to visit, and General Situ introduced him, "Your Majesty, the son of a dog, Situ Hengnan."

"See the emperor." Situ Hengnan knelt down, but was immediately excused.

The Son of Heaven did not sit upright, with an elder's kind smile on his face, he asked Situ Hengnan kindly: "General Situ's children are already this old, they look about the same age as Yu'er."

"Father, the child should be older." Sitting beside him, Chen Yu spoke with a bit of air.

"Oh? Yu'er knows Hengnan?" The emperor asked his son beside him with a smile.

"Mr. Situ is very skilled in martial arts, and he has inherited the heroism of the Situ clan. He is an outstanding figure. My child really wants to learn from him."

As soon as the seventh prince let go, the emperor's smile grew even wider.

"Okay, it seems that today you children can bring a lot of surprises to us elders. Whoever wins the first prize can ask me for a reward."

Several princes, sons and sons of several families are eager to try.

Chen Yu rode his horse and stopped next to Situ Hengnan again: "Brother Nan, how about taking a bet on Dongfeng Xiaolou?"

"That's what you said, don't be ashamed if you lose, I won't be humble to the prince."

"Just to my liking."

The hunting ground is a demarcated forest, and the quiver of each young master has arrows of the same specification, but the arrows have different colors, and after hitting the prey, they will leave marks on the prey.If several princes hit the same head, the problem will be judged according to whether it is a critical point.

In the beginning, Situ Hengnan shot a few shots in a row, but there was no such thing as the same shot as others.

Chen Yu also hit a few heads, just because he hit the same head with others, not all hits were included in the final score.

The other sons were either afraid, or they were really not good at archery, and they didn't dare to be better than the prince.The eldest prince was obviously giving way to the young boy. His grades were good, but he didn't mean to win the prize.The other two princes are also good at archery, but they are far inferior to Situ Hengnan and the seventh prince Chen Yu.

Chen Yu and Situ Hengnan are in a situation of chasing after each other, and even if there is a gap, it may not be able to exceed one end.

Seeing that there was still time for a stick of incense, Chen Yu suddenly came up with an idea.

Chen Yu took the rein and spun around a few times, and shouted to Situ Hengnan: "Brother Nan, I see that the outcome is hard to tell, why don't we exchange bows and arrows, and see if you can still hit a hundred shots."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Situ Hengnan became interested.He had a very high talent when he first learned archery, coupled with his hard training in basic skills since he was a child, and the teaching of General Situ, his archery is undoubtedly superb.

Few of his peers could match him, but today he met a man who was determined to beat him.

The two exchanged bows and arrows and started a new round of competition.Situ Hengnan drew his bow a few times to get used to it, and then began to gallop his horse to look for prey.

Through the shadows between the trees, people at the seats can probably see the heroic appearance of young men from various families.

"Hahaha, it seems that Hengnan is going to take the lead." The emperor stroked his chin, with a smile in his eyes.

"A dog with no talents, how can he take the top spot of the Seventh Prince." General Situ said what he really said from the bottom of his heart.I heard that the seventh prince favored by His Majesty was outstanding in civil and martial arts, making most princes pale in comparison.Originally, he was dubious, but subconsciously felt that it was flattery from the palace.Only after seeing it today did I realize that it was really extraordinary, and I didn't know whether Situ Hengnan could win the top spot in my heart.Although he doesn't care much about the power struggle in the court, he has heard about the vacancy of the crown prince, the forces behind the eldest prince and the seventh prince, and the vacillating choices of the emperor.

Although the emperor's eyes are often smiling, they are so confusing that it is difficult for people to control his inner thoughts.

But the young people in the hunting ground didn't think of this level at all, they just focused on the prey in the hunting ground, and then stretched their strings and shot their arrows.

The situation of close victory and defeat still continued, but a wild arrow came out from nowhere and stabbed straight in the direction of Chen Yu.

Another arrow hit the "bad comer" arrow, causing it to deviate from its original direction.The two arrows fell to the ground together.

Who knows this is just the beginning.

A sharp whistle came from nowhere, and feather arrows fell from all directions, making it impossible to guard against.

The eldest prince Xi Run stopped many arrows for Chen Yu and was wounded in the hand.

A nimble assassin saw the right moment, the sword and himself would become one, and immediately stabbed in the direction of Chen Yu.

Xi Run immediately stood in front of Chen Yu and caught the sword with his arm.

"Brother Huang!" Chen Yu let out a shrill scream, his eyes turned red, he pulled out three arrows and aimed them in the direction of the attacker.

But the assailant was extremely fast, and his lightness kung fu was amazing. Not only did he escape the attack, but he also gained momentum for this attack.

But an arrow from Situ Hengnan disturbed his sight, and after dodging, he didn't have time to launch this attack.The children of the surrounding aristocratic families were also surrounded by a group of assassins.

There was already chaos at the seats, except for some troops escorting them, the rest of the garrison hurriedly rushed into the hunting ground, preparing to capture these bold and strange assassins alive.

But these assassins come and go as fast as they come.Those who had time to escape in the future turned into a puddle of blood.

Huo Feng, who was originally in the account, heard the chaotic sound outside, and carefully opened the corner of the curtain, only to see the guarding army quickly walking towards the hunting ground, and words such as "assassin" faintly drifted into his ears.

He was startled, but he calmly found a corner in the tent and hid temporarily.

When it became quieter outside, he quietly opened the curtain again.

The faces of those who returned to the tent were all pale, and those who still had the energy to talk were saying that the eldest prince was in danger.

The assassin was the eldest prince?

Huo Feng didn't know much about the affairs in the city, and his heart speeded up when he heard the news.

At this time, Situ Hengnan came back with the same ugly expression.

However, seeing that Huo Feng was safe and sound, he looked better, but he still asked, "Zixin, are you okay?"

Huo Feng nodded.

Situ Hengnan entered the tent, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The eldest prince was assassinated to save the seventh prince, and the accompanying imperial physician is trying to rescue him. Half of the army has gone after the assassin."

The two teenagers looked at each other, their eyes full of disappointment.

☆, school (1)

1 The eldest prince saved his life with the full support of the Imperial Medical Office, but lost an arm.

The courtiers who originally supported the eldest prince to become the crown prince all pointed their finger at the current empress, but because the seventh prince Chenyu stated the situation at that time, they were very puzzled why the assassin's primary target was the emperor's favorite son.

You can't tell from the assassin's clothes at all, except for the leader who is very skilled, the rest are not too difficult.It's just that many of them died tragically, and there is no shortage of clues.

The emperor was furious, and finally Dali Temple thoroughly investigated the case.These people could only have been dormant at the outskirts of the forest for a long time, and they had done their hands and feet to blend in with the surrounding environment. They didn't notice so many people who had been dormant for a long time when they cleared the field ahead of time.Recently, people who entered the imperial city from other places have also been thoroughly checked.

The final conclusion is: based on body size and signs of death, and the increase in the number of Southwesterners who have recently entered the city, it can be inferred that the barbarians in the Southwest were dissatisfied with the management of the court.

Although the forces behind the eldest prince were dissatisfied with this result, the people in the imperial city were panicked because of this, and no more results were found through excessive investigation.Moreover, the eldest prince's injury fell into the hands of the group who strongly recommended the seventh prince as the crown prince.

Many ministers thought that it was a play directed and acted by the queen's faction, and the purpose was to kill the eldest prince, but anyone with a little thought would know that such an argument would not hold water, after all, the person involved saw that Chen Yu was almost killed. Funeral Hunting Ground.

Since then, the word "spring hunting" has become a taboo in the court.The tribes in the southwest were basically implicated, and most of them became slaves.

If it wasn't for the eldest prince who finally woke up and pleaded for mercy, the southwest region would have ended up with no one inhabited.

The Seventh Prince stood under a dark dome, staring blankly at the drops of rainwater sliding down the slanted ridge of the verandah roof.

He had never had a moment like this when his eyes were empty and his heart was empty.

"Your Highness Seventh, His Royal Highness is... all right now."

Holding an umbrella, Ruoxuan pondered for a long time before saying this sentence.

"But why didn't the emperor see me?" Chen Yu's eyes drifted away, and he turned around slowly, "Why didn't the emperor see me?"

Finally, his eyes fixed on Ruoxuan, longing for an answer.

Ruoxuan frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness needs to rest."

But the boy's expression didn't change a bit.

Ruoxuan said again: "It's not that Your Highness doesn't want to see His Highness the Seventh Highness, it's that he doesn't want to see everyone. Only Your Majesty has to see him."

At this moment, the young man's face softened a little, and he said, "That's right."

In the end, he walked slowly towards his bedroom, and Ruoxuan held the umbrella for him.

The young man silently closed the palace door.

This is not studying, it's flattering. And I don't want to be ridiculed by those individuals."

Situ Hengnan's angry look really made Huo Feng a little amused.

"I heard that Scholar Lin is knowledgeable, citing extensively, and humorous. He should not be some old-fashioned master."

The general's wife came over with a gentle smile on her face.

"Mother, don't talk about it." Situ Hengnan was a little helpless, "It is rumored that his classwork is extremely rare, and there will be defenses every ten days."
