The backyard of Liu Mansion.
Liu Xiaoyan, who is the same age as Chang Feng, holds a bow in her hand and an archery target placed forty steps away.
She is tall, has a delicate face, and a hint of heroism between her brows. An ordinary cloth cannot conceal her unique charm...
All in all, this woman was pretty and beautiful, with protruding legs and long legs.
Liu Xiaoyan, a lady from a civil servant's family, doesn't like playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or embroidery, but only loves swords, guns and sticks.
Her personality is as strong as her hobbies.
If she were not a strong-willed woman, she would not dare to hold scissors to her throat, confront her own father, and swear to the death not to marry a man other than Chang Feng.
If it were a weak official lady, her family would have tied her hands and stuffed her into a sedan chair.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyan was using a stiff bow.
She drew the bow, took aim, and took off the string, all in one movement.
"Bang!" The arrow hit the target.
At this moment, she heard a familiar and gentle voice: "Xiao Yan."
Liu Xiaoyan thought she was hearing hallucinations. When he turned around, he saw that it was really his crush, Chang Feng.
Liu Xiaoyan was surprised: "Brother? How did you get in?"
Chang Feng replied: "Of course you came in through the front door."
Liu Xiaoyan glanced at Butler Liu standing in the distance: "He actually let you in?"
Chang Feng nodded slightly.
Chang Feng is at the age when he is full of energy. For Liu Xiaoyan's sake, she never imitated Fatty Xu. In short, you are still a child at the age of twenty.
Every time he saw Liu Xiaoyan, he felt an uncontrollable impulse.
If Butler Liu hadn't been watching from a distance, it would have been in the backyard, in broad daylight. Maybe he would really take away "a little bit of something" from Liu Xiaoyan.
Chang Feng subconsciously stretched out his hand.
Liu Xiaoyan held his hand.
Butler Liu is anxious! Men and women are not intimate with each other. This is great!
He ran towards the two of them, trying to stop them from holding hands.
When Liu Xiaoyan saw this scene, without saying a word, she let go of Chang Feng's hand, picked up the bow and arrow, and "whoosh" fired an arrow at Butler Liu.
The arrow stuck five steps in front of Butler Liu.
Butler Liu was so frightened that he stopped in his tracks. He had watched his young lady grow up and knew her bad temper.
Moving further forward, the arrow hit his feet.
Butler Liu had no choice but to stop and shout: "Be careful with etiquette! Men and women should be on guard!"
Chang Feng took the initiative and said: "We should behave ourselves. This will save him from yelling."
Liu Xiaoyan sneered: "It's you who behaves inappropriately, not me."
Chang Feng said: "I climbed up to the Crown Prince. But I was sent to Shandong on errands by the Crown Prince."
"After I finish my errands, I'll ask the prince to be a matchmaker between us. Even if your father doesn't agree, you have to agree."
"But I don't know how long it will take for this trip to be completed. There is still a round trip. You can wait for me for another year or two, okay?"
Liu Xiaoyan said: "All the official ladies in Beijing will get married at the age of sixteen. I have been waiting for you for four years, and I still care about waiting another one or two years."
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyan took out an arrow from the arrow pot. Push your knees up and push them in half.
She handed the arrow tail to Chang Feng: "I believe you, you will marry me one day."
"When the ceremony is held, remember to return this half arrow to me."
Chang Feng was greatly moved: "Xiao Yan, if I can marry you in this life, this life will be enough."
The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl talked about love for a while. It wasn't until Butler Liu kicked him out that Chang Feng reluctantly left.
Get out of Liu Mansion. The two things Chang Feng had to do before leaving Beijing were all completed.
However, Zhu Ji planned to ask him to do another thing, something that was easier said than done but impossible to achieve.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei is on duty.
Zhu Ji stood in front of Wantong.
Wynn took the initiative to claim that Chang Feng was the hidden stake he buried in Jinyiwei, which protected Zhu Ji to a certain extent.
Wantong still believes that Zhu Ji is a vicious dog loyal to him.
Wantong took a sip of tea and said, "That kid Chang Feng is so cheap."
Zhu Ji said: "Commander, I have a way to severely punish that boy Chang Feng."
Wantong's eyes lit up: "Oh? Say it."
Zhu Ji reminded Wantong: "The Autumn Judgment will begin in two days. A group of death row prisoners in the imperial prison will be killed..."
Wantong interrupted Zhu Ji: "You don't want to take Chang Feng into prison and kill him with the prisoners, right?"
"Absolutely not. Eunuch Shang made a deal with Huai En. If Chang Feng is killed by us, Prince Yu of the Zhejiang feudal clan will also be dead."
Zhu Ji said: "The command has misunderstood you. I am not suggesting that you kill Chang Feng."
"Everyone who enters the robe of Jinyiwei has to pass through a hurdle. This hurdle is killing!"
"Most of the people in Paoze have nightmares every night after their first murder. During the day, their eyes are filled with the silhouettes of the murdered people. It is simply a matter of life being worse than death."
"Chang Feng is still nominally a member of Jinyiwei. You let him participate in the Autumn Jue and be the executioner."
"He was only responsible for ransacking homes before and never killed anyone. He was probably so scared that he peed in his crotch and was scared to death."
Wantong thought thoughtfully: "Okay! Wonderful! This can be regarded as punishing him severely. That's it!"
In fact, Zhu Ji suggested that Wantong order Chang Feng to kill people, not to punish Chang Feng, but to temper Chang Feng.
What he said just now was quite right. Killing is a hurdle.
From now on, if Chang Feng wants to run secret errands for the prince, he must go through this hurdle.
No matter how painful it is to cross this hurdle.
It's like a well-trained soldier. Usually in the camp, he is first with swords and guns, first with archery, first with firearms, first with sticks, and first with fists and feet.
But on the battlefield, he did not dare to kill. Then he is at most an embroidered pillow and a coward.
The next day, in the front yard of Wynn's house.
Chang Feng stood in the courtyard.
Wynn was carrying Tangtang on his back and was playing a horse riding and fighting game with a dozen young eunuchs. Liu Jin is also among them.
Wynn is already obese. The young eunuchs deliberately let things slip again.
As soon as Wynn and Tangtang collided with each other, they fell down immediately.
Tangtang excitedly patted Wynn's fat head and shouted: "Fat big horse, drive! Kill!"
Wynn smiled and said: "Come on, little general, charge!"
Huzi barked "bark, woof" on the side, as if to cheer up the little master.
Eunuchs are rootless and have no heirs, and tend to like children.
The same is true for the fat Wynn, and the same is true for his nemesis Shang Ming.
On the fifteenth day of every month, Shang Ming would ask for leave from Emperor Chenghua and go to Changping County on the outskirts of Beijing.
There are six kindergartens he built there using the money he earned from kidnapping wealthy households to donate money.
The kindergarten teaches poor children from all over the country who have no money to study.
Shang Ming didn't go to see the children for fame. He really likes children.
Not long after, a dozen young eunuchs were all knocked to the ground by Wynn and Tangtang.
They fell to the ground without forgetting to flatter each other: "Grandpa Gan and Miss Chang are so brave!"
Liu Jin was not willing to be outdone: "That's right, you guys are willing to be inferior."
At this moment, a gatekeeper from a group of hundreds of households came to report: "Eunuch, Zhu Ji, the envoy of Jinyiwei North Town, wants to enter the house."
Wynn put down Tangtang and said to himself suspiciously: "Why is he here?"
In order to deceive others, Wynn never met Zhu Ji outside his house.
Because Wynn knew that there were eyes and ears from the imperial concubine’s party in his outer house.
The Hundred Households of Tuanying said: "This is my father-in-law, he said he wants to go into the mansion to deliver orders to Chang Hundred Households."
Wynn said: "Oh, let him in."
Not long after, Zhu Ji entered the front yard.
He pretended to be arrogant, walked up to Wynn, and cupped his hands: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Wynn, I came here to give orders to Chang Feng."
He had to go through all the drama, and Wynn also pretended to be furious: "Chang Feng is my man. Who has the right to give him orders? Someone who relies on human power to show his prestige in my house?"
