Chapter 44:

Yeluluan was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and responded: "Okay!"
Anyway, he will win this game!
Yeluluan quickly added: "We are better than running!"
The so-called rushing refers to the two sides sitting on horsebacks, riding horses sprinting, whoever shoots the other's arrow first is the winner.
Yeluluan was afraid that he would disagree, so she used agitation: "Gu Gongzi, if you are afraid? Just admit defeat early. As long as you kneel now, I won't care about you."
Gu Zezhi calmly stared at him, his expression more gentle, and nodded: "Just shoot."
Yeluluan's eyes flashed darkly, eager to try, and secretly said: This Gu Zezhi is really arrogant, but he is sure to lose!
They Yan people grew up on horseback since they were young!
Just because Gu Zezhi can't carry it on his shoulders, he still wants to win by shooting, dreaming!
Not only Yeluluan, but even the other courtiers had no hope for this competition. The third son of King Duan had never shown force. How could he have won Yeluluan who grew up on horseback.
It's not that they are presumptuous, and when it comes to riding skills and horsepower, Daqi is indeed a bit weaker than these barbarians. What's more, Yeluluan is also a famous warrior in Beiyan.
Of course, Da Qi is not without a master of riding and shooting. Yu Fuyun was a leader in the past. When Yu Fuyun was fifteen years old, he shot an arrow in the head of an enemy general from two hundred meters away.
If it were replaced by the former Yu Fuyun, it would still be possible to compare it with Yeluluan, but now Yu Fuyun has not healed because of a serious injury, and the effort of riding and shooting is probably less than half of the past.
Even the emperor at the head frowned slightly, thinking: He hasn't heard Uncle Wang talk about it, Zezhi is still good at martial arts?
Among the people present, Qin Jiu was the only one who was not worried at all. After all, Gu Zezhi, a villain who occupies more than half of the space, would lose to Ye Luluan, a small role that can’t even be called three or four. !
Qin Jiao looked at Gu Zezhi brightly, only to shout "Come on".
As if feeling Qin Jiu's gaze, Gu Zezhi looked back and saw the brilliance and trust in her eyes, and the smile on Gu Zezhi's face deepened a bit.
In this world, perhaps she is the only one who trusts herself wholeheartedly.
The others present had no room to speak at all, and could only blindly follow the emperor, Gu Zezhi and Yeluluan.
After a stick of incense, everyone gathered on the school grounds to the southwest of the Hunting Palace. At a glance, the heads were moving like a pot of boiling water.
In addition to Yeluluan, several other envoys of the Beiyan envoys were also there, all showing pride. In their minds, there is no doubt about the result of this test, and there is no suspense at all.
Most of the setting sun had fallen, the sky to the west was stained red by the burning clouds, and an atmosphere of restlessness filled the air.
Qin Jiu chose a place with a good view to watch the excitement, and Qin Zeyu also ran to her, chattering in her ear non-stop:
"San Jie, do you think Gu San Young Master can win?"
"I take care of San Gongzi with gentle manners. Even if I know how to ride and shoot, I am afraid it is far from the other Prince Yelu."
"I heard that the riding and shooting of the Beiyan people is not built. In order to cultivate a tacit understanding with the horse, they eat and sleep with the horse, so that they can reach the realm of'the unity of man and horse... Um!"
Qin Jiu felt that this little kid was really noisy, and he had no eyesight, and he didn't want to think about how the big guy would lose!
She casually took a piece of cake from the dessert plate and stuffed it into his mouth.
The world is quiet!
At this time, Gu Zezhi and Yeluluan appeared on horseback at both ends of the school grounds. The two stood face to face. Their horses were pacing their horses and snorting, looking eager to try.
In mid-winter, the wind is bitter.
Hundreds of eyes stared at the two people scorchingly.
The gentle youth on the east is as gentle as jade, and the foreign youth on the west is rugged and unrestrained. The two forms a sharp contrast. If the former is a finely crafted meticulous painting, the latter is a freehand painting with rich ink and color.
The robes of the two were rolled up by the rustling wind, and the corners of the robes fluttered, hunting and hunting, adding a bit of chill.
Everyone is holding their breath.
This match is not only a personal match between Gu Zezhi and Yeluluan, but also a duel between Daqi and Beiyan.
"Huh!"
With the sound of a trembling gong, the noisy crowd around calmed down. At the same time, two horses rushed forward like lightning, raising a cloud of dust, and the sound of iron hoofs echoed in the cold. wind……
Yeluluan leaned down slightly, almost blending with his dark horse. One person and one horse were like wild wolves eyeing their prey, murderous.
Suddenly, Yeluluan moved, holding the bow in his left hand and taking the arrow with his right hand, and then hooked and opened the bow like a full moon.
In the next instant, the arrow flew out, piercing the air with a "shoo", and slammed into Gu Zezhi's heart.
The tip of this feather arrow was wrapped in cloth, and both of them also wore protective goggles, but if the arrow was really shot in the heart, Gu Zezhi was afraid that he would suffer internal injuries too!
Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning, and Qin Zeyu forgot to eat half of the pastry without blinking.
Facing the oncoming arrows, Gu Zezhi calmly and swiftly turned sideways.
The arrow flew almost against his chest, dangerous and dangerous.
His white horse neighed vigorously, and was not frightened at all. The two horses passed by each other.
All this happened between the electric light and the flint, and everyone watching the battle suddenly raised it and put it down.
Qin Zeyu took the cakes to his mouth again in relief, and said in his heart: Not bad!
Before he bit down, he saw Gu Zezhi’s white horse leaping up, with horseshoes flying high into the sky. At the same time, Gu Zezhi on horseback shot an arrow with a sharp backhand, and a series of movements were as beautiful and smooth as running clouds. In the blink of an eye, the three feather arrows shot at Yeluluan, as if a violent storm came suddenly.
At that moment, Gu Zezhi's breath changed, as if he suddenly removed the mask he had been wearing on his face, his whole body as sharp as a sword out of its sheath.
At the same time that the three arrows were off the string, the white horse's hoof just landed, and this person and horse cooperated in a tacit understanding.
Yeluluan only felt as if her back had been smashed three times by a Qianjun hammer, and there was a strong smell of sweetness in her mouth, her body also lost her balance, and she fell off the horse.
For an instant, everyone watching the battle stood up subconsciously, watching Yeluluan rolling awkwardly on the ground several times in amazement...
The surroundings are silent.
Thinking back to the scenes just now, everyone felt unbelievable and stared at Yeluluan intently.
If Gu Zezhi's three arrows were not covered with cloth heads, Yeluluan would have been killed on the spot!
Gu Zezhi won, and he won without question!
Everyone was refreshed, and Gu Zezhi's victory also represented Daqi's victory over the Beiyan people!
They Daqi defeated the Beiyan people on horseback, and the courtiers felt enthusiastic.
The two Beiyan envoys nervously called the "Second Prince" and ran towards Yeluluan.
Three feet away from the front, Gu Zezhi's horse has stopped, and the white horse still feels still unfulfilled, and excitedly lifted his two front legs up high.
Gu Zezhi comfortably stroked the white horse's long neck twice, and looked at Qin Jiu in the crowd.
Qin Jiu smiled flatteringly, quickly showed his loyalty, and clapped his hands.
A gangster is a gangster, capable of literary and military skills, for generations to come, dominate the world!
Qin Zeyu next to her also clapped, "Papa Papa", patted harder than Qin Jiao.
At this time, the two Beiyan envoys had joined forces to help Yeluluan from the ground.
Yeluluan had just rolled on the ground a few times, his robe was stained with a lot of dust, and the elbow was even broken by sand and gravel. The hair that was originally tied with a ponytail was also loose, and it was thrown out in a mess, embarrassed.
Yeluluan stood firm immediately.
Although he smashed his horse, he adjusted his posture in mid-air before landing, and smashed the ground two times to relieve his momentum. He was not injured at all, but looked a little embarrassed.
Yeluluan pushed away the two Beiyan envoys impatiently and raised his eyes to look at Gu Zezhi who was a few feet away.
Gu Zezhi turned his head and faced his eyes. His handsome face was smiling slightly, like a bright Chunhui, and he arched his hands with a smile: "Accept."
"Prince Yelu wouldn't break his promise, right?" Gu Zezhi reminded with a smile.
He sat comfortably on his white horse, with a condescending posture.
Seeing this scene on the school field, everyone around watching the battle was even more excited, and they all showed their splendor.
In contrast, Yu Fuyun, who was still sitting on a chair and a bit shorter than everyone else, seemed so calm.
His handsome face was calm and cold as water, but his eyes were far less calm than he showed, and his pupils were as dark as ink.
The Beiyan people are nomads on the northern grasslands. For hundreds of years, they have repeatedly invaded the territory of the Central Plains.
Since he was fifteen years old, he has guarded the border with his father and uncle in northern Xinjiang. In just over two years, he has personally watched the two armies go through no less than 50 battles and watched the Northern Yan army burn and kill on the land of Daqi. The captivity, I don’t know how many soldiers and people on the border have been killed. The Northern Yan army’s methods are cruel, and the countless acts of slaughtering cities and villages have caused so much dispersal.
Yu Fuyun's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, his eyes as cold as frost.
Yeluluan, who had her back to Yu Fuyun glared, looked at Gu Zezhi in shame, her face was pale, as if she had been slapped, and her tall body was even tighter.
In his view, on the battlefield, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, that is, there are too many things to do, and what sin is to be thanked for!
To put it bluntly, the Daqi people are just trying to suppress their Yan Guo in the peace talks!
Although Yeluluan was unwilling, but they Yanren always kept their promises. Since his words were released, they must be done, otherwise he would become a shame to Yanren.
Yeluluan gritted his teeth and said, "This king does what he says!"
After Yeluluan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves away, but the few envoys of Beiyan did not stay, all chasing Yeluluan and left.
The emperor was in a good mood, and his mood became more relaxed. He personally greeted Gu Zezhi to return to the banquet in the Huagai Palace.
Gu Jing walked behind, looking at the emperor and Gu Zezhi ahead, her eyes twinkling, and she still couldn't believe that Yeluluan had lost.
Their plan was so perfect, but Yeluluan lost. Originally, he could use the five hundred Turkic horses from Yeluluan to show his face in front of this Manchu military commander and win some favors. And if you get married, the remaining Turkic horses promised by Yeluluan can also be easily obtained.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he actually made wedding clothes for others, giving Gu Zezhi a chance to show his face.
The others around were overjoyed. They were all talking about the match just now, and they were full of praise for Gu Zezhi's riding and shooting skills.
Especially Qin Zeyu, who has been returning to the Huagai Temple, kept talking in Qin Jiu's ears still intently:
"Three sisters, you recognize the eldest brother really well! Did you see that they work together too tacitly, one person and one horse, and the unity of man and horse is simply the unity of man and horse!"
"His hand with the beaded arrow was shot at the moment the horse was in the air. At this time, the horse was not bumpy, so the arrow was the most stable when it was shot. But the moment passed in a flash. It is necessary to grasp it so accurately. How many times can I do it!"
"The three arrows have no false hair, and they all hit the prince Yelu, this is too accurate and powerful!"
Qin Jiu listened, and there was also a kind of pride in his heart.
However, she appeared to be much calmer than Qin Zeyu. While sipping the sweet and sour sherbet, she looked in the direction of Gu Zezhi and said in her heart: The golden thighs are so powerful, it goes without saying!
A palace lady just filled Gu Zezhi with wine. Gu Zezhi held the wine cup gracefully and toasted a glass to someone diagonally opposite.
Qin Jiao followed Gu Zezhi's gaze silently, and Yu Fuyun's handsome face caught her eye.
Yu Fuyun nodded slightly at Gu Zezhi, his face still cold and frosty.
For some reason, Qin Jiu felt that there was a tacit understanding between the two people.
Could it be that the two of them hooked up at this moment? !
This idea just emerged and was rejected by Qin Jiu. In the novel, Gu Zezhi shouldn't be in the capital now.
Qin Jiu didn't have a chance to think too much. Qin Zeyu was pouring tea and water to Qin Jiu diligently. He wanted Qin Jiu to introduce Gu Zezhi to him.
Most people didn’t pay attention to the brief eye contact between Gu Zezhi and Yu Fuyun. The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more enthusiastic. Everyone’s topic kept surrounding Gu Zezhi, and there were many generals who came forward with him. He toasted.
It wasn't until a later day that the palace banquet broke up.
As soon as Qin Jiao got up, Xiao Kouzi smiled and said, "Ms. Qin, the empress, please."
Qin Jiao responded and followed Xiao Kouzi to Empress Wei.
"Xiao Jiu, come and sit down."
Empress Wei smiled and beckoned to Qin Jiao, calling her to her, smiling and looking again, the more she looked, the more she felt that her niece looked very beautiful, but it was a pity that she was about to belong to someone else's.
In the hunting palace, there are not so many rules. Empress Wei took Qin Jiu to sit next to her affectionately, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, what do you think of Gu Zezhi?"
Qin Jiu snorted when he heard the words, and said in his heart: What is the aunt asking this for?
No matter what it is for, it doesn't matter, but you can't make people think that you are dissatisfied with the golden thighs.
So, Qin Jiao sat down in a precarious manner and said seriously: "Auntie, Gu Gongzi is very good."
The smile on Queen Wei's face grew stronger when she heard this, her expression gentle and loving.
At the banquet in the palace just now, Yeluluan obviously wanted to ask Qin Jiu to marry him. Once this matter made him speak in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, there were another thousand Turkic horses ahead. Under the circumstances, even the emperor It is difficult to refuse directly.
Fortunately, Gu Zezhi took the lead for this girl, and also used this to raise my great power!
This Gu Zezhi is impeccable in his literary talents and martial arts. Although he is not a prince, but with his ability, he can always earn a title and future on his own. The most important thing is that Xiao Jiu is quite satisfied with him. He also has a heart for Xiao Jiu.
Well, these two men are both talented and beautiful, and they are good matches.
The more Queen Wei thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Zezhi was good, and she continued to inquire Qin Jiu enthusiastically: "Xiao Jiu, how is Gu Zezhi good to you?"
"Okay, of course it's good." Qin Jiu nodded hurriedly, for fear of speaking slowly, "Jin...Master Gu is very good to me."
Queen Wei nodded as she listened, her thick smile couldn't be hidden, "Just treat you well."
Qin Jiu: "Hmm!"
Huh? It seems something is wrong...
Qin Jiu blinked, always feeling that the tone of his aunt's words was a little weird, it seemed that he didn't understand the meaning.
Forget it, maybe I think too much...
Thinking back about what he had just said, Qin Jiu smiled, his eyes curled. She must have said nothing wrong today!
The two spoke for a while, and then the emperor came, so Qin Jiu resigned wittily.
"The emperor," Empress Wei held the emperor's hand with joy, with joy, "The concubine thinks this marriage is worthwhile!"
She had been tested just now, Xiao Jiu said that Gu Zezhi was very good and he was good to Xiao Jiu. Moreover, when Xiaojiu mentioned Gu Zezhi just now, that little face seemed to shine.
These two can definitely make it!
The emperor listened to her with a smile, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What should I call you later?"
Queen Wei felt that this was not a big problem, and said casually: "Everyone is called each. Anyway, this kind of thing is not uncommon for the royal family."
The Emperor Taizong of this dynasty even admitted his nephews and nephews into the palace. In the previous dynasty, there was a ridiculous emperor who forced his son's concubine, and even sang this in folk operas.
Emperor: "..." The queen seemed to make sense.
"The emperor, do you think it's time for your concubine to prepare a dowry for Xiao Jiu? That Qin family is unreliable! The concubine still has to quickly get a dowry list out..." Empress Wei said in a speech about the dowry , Obviously thinking has diverged far away.
The emperor looked at her in a very good mood, and said in his heart: Well, she would be happy. What is called, it is not a big deal.
After finishing counting the dowry, Empress Wei remembered one more thing, and changed her conversation: "The emperor, Ju'er just said to the concubine that Xiao Jiu gave him a bow. The concubine saw that it was the kind of compound bow. ."
Qin Jiu was busy improving the compound bow in the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor knew about it. She took the newly improved bow with the emperor's acquiescence.
For the emperor, the craftsmen only needed to know how to make a bow. The bow was made by Qin Jiao, and it was justified to give it to her. But what the emperor did not expect was that Qin Jiao took the bow for Gu.瑧.
The emperor was startled, smiled, and said meaningfully: "This girl is really solid-eyed. That bow is only made of this one. I haven't seen it yet."
Empress Wei smiled and nodded, and then said clearly: "Yuan'er baby is great, the emperor wants to see it, you can ask for it yourself."
The emperor laughed. "That kid, Ju'er, doesn't even give me the face." After that, he was a little relieved, "Yuan'er is now more and more lively, and his homework is also very good..."
Speaking of Gu Wei, the emperor couldn't help but think of Gu Jing, and his good mood was immediately destroyed.
He can also understand what Gu Jing is thinking, and Gu Jing is the most ambitious of his sons.
These days, he has been taking Bi'er to do his homework and meeting courtiers. Naturally, Gu Jing also saw it. Gu Jing was anxious.
Gu Jing was indeed anxious, not only anxious, but also angry.
Looking at Yeluluan's gloomy profile, Gu Jing felt that it was useless to forsake him, and he couldn't grasp the opportunity that he provided him.
Disgusting and disgusting, but Gu Jing's face was calm, and he sighed with a helpless look, and said: "Gu Zezhi has always been like this, no one looks at him. Hey."
Yeluluan drank the strong wine in the cup, wiped his mouth boldly, full of alcohol.
Hearing Gu Zezhi's name, Yeluluan's arrow in the back began to ache again, as if to remind him again that he had lost.
In full view, he lost to Gu Zezhi in his best run.
Yeluluan poured himself another glass of wine and drank it again.
Gu Jing continued: "Actually, I was watching, Gu Zezhi Xu also fell in love with Qin Jiu."
He coldly snorted in disdain: This kind of wild girl from the country is also guilty of making them fight to grab?
Yeluluan squeezed the wine cup tightly without speaking.
He remembered the scenes in front of the restaurant last month. That time it was also because Gu Zezhi broke his good deeds. It seems that it might really be what Gu Jing said. Gu Zezhi also fell in love with Qin Zhuo, so Will fight with him everywhere!
In this way, he was beaten in a sack that day, and it was mostly Gu Zezhi.
Yeluluan's face was green and white, cloudy and uncertain.
When he thought that when he returned to the capital, he would be forced to kneel at the Yingling Temple by Gu Zezhi, Yeluluan wanted to break his body to pieces.
Yeluluan squeezed a voice from between his teeth, gritted his teeth: "Gu Zezhi..."
He subconsciously squeezed the wine cup, which was almost crushed by him.
The corner of Gu Jing's lips made a mocking smile in a place that Yeluluan couldn't see. His tone was calm, but he said with a bit of coaxing: "If Prince Yelu wants to breathe, it's actually not difficult. ."
Yeluluan raised her long eyebrows and looked at Gu Jing.
Gu Jing took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Prince Yelu came to Daqi for the first time. Xu didn't know. According to the rules, there will be a night hunt tomorrow, and Gu Zezhi will definitely enter the woods too. It's dark. If something happens, it can only be said that it was God’s will."
Yeluluan raised her eyebrows and snorted, "Are you helping me?"
Gu Jing was noncommittal, and only said: "You and I can only say that we have different plans."
He smiled and added meaningfully: "Ming people don't talk secretly, and there is not only Prince Yelu who wants Gu Ze to die. If Prince Yelu can kill him, it will be good for me."
Yeluluan squinted his eyes to look at Gu Jing, her blue eyes getting deeper and deeper.
Originally, he thought that Gu Jing was stupid. The other party was carrying Emperor Daqi and cooperating with him. If Emperor Daqi found out, it would be no good. The Daqi Dynasty was different from their Yan Kingdom. The imperial power was supreme. Emperor Daqi wanted to appoint him as the prince, who would be the prince. Gu Jing angered Emperor Daqi, fearing that he would miss the throne.
But what does this have to do with yourself? ! For himself, Gu Jing is as stupid as possible.
Now it seems that Gu Jing is not really headless.
Gu Jing definitely knew that cooperating with him would make Emperor Daqi dislike him, but he did it anyway. This move is a bit intriguing.
Yeluluan contemplated for a moment, then "bang" the wine cup on the table, and responded: "Okay!"
What if Gu Jing wanted to kill someone with a knife? !
As Gu Jing said, they all have their own plans, and no one owes others.
Gu Jing smiled again and clung to the wine cup and said, "Prince Yelu, don't worry, someone will create a chance for you that day to help you."
Yeluluan also raised the wine cup, and the two smiled at each other, and after drinking each other, they drank.
