The sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounded in the Han Palace Garden, surrounded by a bright winter scene, with the sun rarely showing and hanging high. The rain and snow have stopped, and the weather in Tokyo has been gloomy for a few days. Taking advantage of the rare sunshine, Liu Chengyou also found the rare interest to practice his shooting skills.
The two ladies, Concubine Gao Gui and Concubine Zhe Xian, were also called to accompany them. Practice has proved that Liu Chengyou's archery skills have not improved at all, and even regressed. After firing fifteen shots in a row, he only hit four arrows, and they were far away from the target.
On the other hand, the performance of the two beauties was much better than that of Liu Chengyou. Most of Gao's shots were on target, and Mrs. Zhe's shots were perfect. Shaking his arm, Liu Chengyou simply put away his bow, threw it to the accompanying chamberlain, turned around and lay on the armchair, muttering: "No more practice!"
When Mrs. Gao and Mr. Zhe saw each other, they both lowered their bows and walked to Liu Chengyou's side. Under the winter sun, I admired the graceful figures of the two beauties. Madam Zhe's cheeks were flushed and there was a trace of sweat on her forehead, while Gao's face was bulging forward and backward, and her plump and mature body was wrapped in a tight military uniform.
Liu Chengyou was really a little excited. Facing the emperor's burning gaze, Concubine Gao also deliberately puffed out her chest. If there weren't so many people watching, she would probably show a more alluring demeanor.
"Guan Jia, you are not someone who gives up halfway. Are you giving up after only fifteen rounds?" Madam Zhe looked at Liu Chengyou, blinked and asked.
"You don't have to excite me. One or two out of ten will ruin your interest!" Liu Chengyou pursed his lips in the direction of the target, looked at the two concubines, and said with a smile: "Who said women are inferior to men in archery and archery? These two ladies are better than me. too much!"
Concubine Gao came to Liu Chengyou's side and said: "The official family is just busy with state affairs and neglects to practice. I am waiting in the harem, and I practice more in my free time. However, when it comes to archery, it is better to break the lady... ..”
Mrs. Gao said and glanced at Madam Zhe, who smiled lightly and didn't care.
Noticing the change in the eyebrows between the two ladies, Liu Chengyou lay back, crossed his legs, and said: "It seems to me that I really don't have the talent for archery. With such skill, I would be too embarrassed to shoot with my head!"
"If the officials don't like it, just don't practice archery in the future!" Gao said.
Liu Chengyou shook his head and responded: "Some things, the worse they are, the more they want to do them. For me, archery is just a hobby. Hitting the target with an arrow dozens of steps away is so refreshing... .”
Looking at the two ladies, lingering between the beautiful legs with big breasts, thin waist and swollen buttocks, she showed a bit of a sultry smile and suggested: "Both ladies were born as generals and are skilled in martial arts. Why not give it a try and let me appreciate it?" appreciate!"
"Since the official family has become so popular, I naturally have no excuse!" Gao Shi smiled charmingly and looked at Concubine Zhe: "Sister, what do you think?"
"I'm here to accompany you!" Lady Zhe also smiled charmingly.
Soon a servant brought two blunt wooden swords to the competition. Although it is a competition, it is not a real fight. It is more like a sword dance. Every move is beautiful and moving.
The two ladies started fighting. Next to them, the fourth prince Liu Fang ran up on his calves. His bright and moving eyes were full of excitement, and he could only clapped his hands and cheered.
"You boy, your mother and Gao Niangniang fought. Not only were you not worried, but you were so excited?" Liu Chengyou touched Liu Fang's head and asked curiously.
Liu Fang tilted his head and said, "Didn't you ask them to beat me, dad? As long as dad is here, you won't be afraid!"
Liu Chengyou smiled when he heard this, noticed a small bow in Liu Fang's hand, and took it over to play with. Before asking any questions, Liu Fang said, "I want to practice archery with my father, but this bow is fake and I can't draw it!"
Liu Chengyou pulled it, but the bow string had no elasticity at all. It was just a toy bow. Looking at this little boy with a tough head and a tough head, he smiled and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to practice archery skills, but my son must be qualified. When you grow up, Now, I’ll give you a real bow and let you practice with me, okay?”
"Okay!" Liu Fang nodded excitedly.
"Your Majesty, Li Chongju, the martial envoy, is waiting outside the garden to see you!"
With the announcement, Liu Chengyou suddenly walked out of the leisurely atmosphere, stood up, and sighed. In the snow, the two ladies also stopped their hands. After the vigorous exercise, the waves became more attractive, but it was a pity that Liu Chengyou had no time to continue to appreciate, play with and experience.
"You guys should go back and rest first, change your clothes, don't catch a cold!" Liu Chengyou asked softly.
"Yes!" The two women bowed down.
"Has Lu Duoxun set off?" Liu Chengyou asked Li Chongju, who was following him quietly as he added a robe and untied the wristbands on his hands.
"Your Majesty, the seventy-five people in his party have left the capital for the westward journey with Zhebu Jiashi!" After two years of experience as a martial arts envoy, Li Chongju gradually developed a spy face and reported in a solemn voice.
Nodding slightly, Liu Chengyou said: "How many people have been deployed?"
"There are thirteen people in total, all of whom are elite soldiers under the Wude Division. They all have military experience. Five of them have been scouts. Two of the visiting officers can read and write, and can draw pictures!" Li Chongju responded.
"I always feel at ease when you do things!" Liu Chengyou walked calmly and whispered softly: "Lu Duosun is smart and knowledgeable, but after all he is just a scholar. There are some things that he can see and do. But there are some things that I have to make other arrangements for!"
"In addition, we must try our best to protect Lu Duoxun!"
"Before leaving, I have made a special statement!" Li Chongju said.
"good!"
"There is something else that needs to be reported to Your Majesty!" Li Chongju's expression became more serious.
"Oh?" He seemed to feel something unusual.
Facing the questioning gaze, Li Chongju said in a deep voice: "Luoyang reported that Wang Yan, who was left behind, dealt with a group of profiteers and criminal nobles!"
"This Wang Yan really wants to make a difference!" Liu Chengyou looked calm and said with a smile: "It wouldn't be surprising if it was just an ordinary prison case. Could there be some hidden agenda or Wang Yan bending the law for personal gain? Revenge?"
"Wang Yan found a secret treasure from the house of a jade merchant named Li and kept it in his house!" Li Chongju said.
"What secret treasure could attract the attention of Wude Si's spy?" Liu Chengyou became more interested and turned his head to look at Li Chongju.
"Suspected to be the imperial seal!"
After he finished speaking, Liu Chengyou stopped immediately, turned to stare at Li Chongju, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you ever verified it?"
"I have ordered you to investigate quickly! However, this matter is of great importance and I dare not hide anything!" Li Chongju said.
After a moment of silence, Liu Chengyou's face was full of doubts. The jade seal made by the First Emperor to pass down the country has been in circulation for thousands of years. The last time it disappeared from the sight of the world was when Emperor Li Congke of the late Tang Dynasty burned himself on fire.
After Shi Jingtang established the Jin Dynasty, he ordered people to make the treasure of the emperor's orders, with the text "Accepting the orders of heaven, only virtue and prosperity". Later, Shi Jin died and fell into the hands of Yelv Deguang. After the Battle of Luancheng, it was captured by Liu Chengyou.
Liu Zhiyuan cared about the "righteousness of the emperor and his ministers" and recognized himself as inheriting Jin Zuo, using it as the treasure entrusted to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Over the years, Liu Chengyou also searched for the imperial seal, but to no avail. Recently, he has also thought about recreating national treasures.
Now, I unexpectedly learned this news from Li Chongju, and I immediately became interested. More importantly, if Wang Yan really gets the jade seal...
"Then let's find out first!" After a change of thought, Liu Chengyou said calmly: "Be careful, there is only a stone on the left and right, don't alarm Wang Yan!"
"I understand!" Seeing the emperor's relaxed and unconcerned look, Li Chongju responded solemnly with his heart tense.
"By the way, bring me the records of Wang Yan's actions after he arrived in Xijing!" Before Li Chongju stepped back, Liu Chengyou gave another gentle instruction.
"yes!"
Wang Yan, as a left-behind man in Xijing, is qualified to stand alone on Wudesi's side.
"Wang Yan..." Liu Chengyou murmured softly as he walked slowly towards Chongzheng Hall, his eyes were calm and showed no emotion or anger.
Liu Chengyou is not that superstitious about the imperial seal, but if he really finds it, he will not underestimate its effectiveness. On the other hand, Wang Yan, if he really gets it but refuses to give it, then he has to think carefully about his intentions.
