Chapter 69： confrontation

"Princess Ayigul?"

Xie Zhi: "Yes."

"Hmm—" Bai Qingyang thought for a while, "Apart from these two brothers and sisters, there is no other Shuobei royal family?"

"No, only these two." Xie Zhi replied, as if she felt that something was wrong, she asked Bai Qingyang for confirmation, "I remember that Princess Ayiguli should not have participated in the mission."

Bai Qingyang rubbed the bamboo slips in his hand, and then she said: "This time it's two brothers and sisters who came here..."

Both of them remembered that in their memories of the Wanbang Chaohui, the special envoy from Shuobei was Jeludiala, and he brought several generals and military divisions with him, without the princess.

Ayigul is the same mother and sister of Yeludeira, and also the jewel in the palm of the Great Khan of Shuobei. It stands to reason that she should be inseparable from the grassland, why this time...

"Well," Bai Qingyang quickly took the decision, "You pay attention to that princess first, I'll ask the people from Yongzhou to inquire about the situation in the grassland, and see what the Shuobei people are planning."

Xie Zhi cupped his hands and said, "My minister obeys the order."

Bai Qingyang: "How are you doing?"

Xie Zhi: "Your Majesty?"

Bai Qingyang hesitated to speak: "Well...that's all, it's nothing."

Anyway, there have been enough changes in this life, and she won't be surprised any more unexpected things happen. Prince Yu didn't do anything, even if he did, Xie Zhi would have a way to deal with it, so it wasn't her turn to worry.

"Go back and take care of yourself." Bai Qingyang finally said.

Xie Zhi: "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is fine, Madam, please take care of me, Madam." After speaking, he backed off.

Bai Qingyang: "?" She didn't mean that.

Forget it, so be it.

Bai Qingyang put away the bamboo slips and called out, "Xiao Le."

"The servant is here." Xiao Le responded.

"Go to Tianshu Palace."

Xiao Le looked at the engraving on the copper, and replied: "Niang Niang, if you want to find Your Majesty, she should not be in Tianshu Palace at the moment."

Bai Qingyang paused when he put the bamboo slips on the bookshelf, then turned around and asked, "Why?"

Xiao Le: "Because His Majesty is still practicing at this time, she should be in the Beiya shooting range or the Yaoguang Palace."

Bai Qingyang frowned slightly, and asked quietly, "How do you know?"

She just remembered that Li Zifu had regular physical training, but how did Xiao Le know so clearly?

"Ah?" Xiao Le was a little confused, "Don't everyone know about this?"

"Everyone?" Which everybody?

Xiao Le said in doubt again: "Everyone in the palace knows."

Bai Qingyang: "..." Okay, it's strange that she forgot.

Bai Qingyang: "Then go to the shooting range first, and wait for me to change into clothes."

"Oh, Xiao Le is going to prepare the chariot."

"No, I'll walk." Bai Qingyang refused.

//

There was no one in the shooting range, only Chen Feng was shooting arrows, and the guards were standing guard as usual.

"Shhhhh!" A short arrow was nailed into the archery target heavily.

"General Chen." Bai Qingyang approached and said hello.

"The grass people have seen the empress." Chen Feng put away the crossbow and bowed respectfully.

"This is?" Bai Qingyang asked looking at the exquisitely crafted hand crossbow.

"This?" Chen Feng raised his hand, "The emperor gave it to me."

"Pay?"

The last time Chen Feng heard Bai Qingyang calling the emperor by his name in private, but this time he heard her call it that way, so he couldn't help but look at Bai Qingyang a few more times with unclear meaning.

But of course Chen Feng would not tell these gossip thoughts in front of Bai Qingyang, she adjusted the bowstring with her hands, and explained: "The emperor had someone transform this kind of hand crossbow before, this is a finished product, she gave me a toy .”

It was the first time Bai Qingyang heard of it.

She hasn't used Tianshu Palace's eyeliner for a long time, and Li Zishou has always been low-key in his work, and doesn't like to be followed by people all the time.

Bai Qingyang didn't want to interfere too much, nor did he have any intention of prying into her plans and thoughts. If she didn't tell, Bai Qingyang would not know.

Thinking of this, she suddenly became a little uninterested: "Then how does General Chen feel?"

Chen Feng raised his hand to aim, and pulled the trigger: "It's more than portable, but not enough lethal."

Bai Qingyang turned his head and looked at the two crossbow arrows on the target: "The accuracy is not bad."

"That's my accuracy, not the crossbow's."

"…"Ok.

"However, if equipped with scout battalions, its power should not be underestimated." Chen Feng continued, "But I still prefer bows and arrows."

Chen Feng is an archer who pursues extreme damage, and he is a rare combat power.

Bai Qingyang thought to himself, it's really lucky that Zhou Huaijin was able to find these people, and he thought, it's really lucky that Li Zifu was able to find Zhou Huaijin.

pay...

Bai Qingyang didn't want to stay longer at the shooting range, she asked Chen Feng: "Does the general know where His Majesty is?"

Hearing this, Chen Feng pointed in a direction, which was the Hall of Light.

"Thank you." Bai Qingyang thanked him and turned to leave.

"Respectfully send off the empress." Afterwards, Chen Feng whispered to himself again, "It's strange." After speaking, he threw down the crossbow and picked up a bow to continue her practice.

//

I heard that Li Zichou has made large and small renovations to some idle palaces, and the Yaoguang Palace has been turned into a dojo.

What is a dojo? Is it a place for monasticism?

Since when did you become interested in Taoism?

"Ha!" Before Bai Qingyang could figure out why, he heard a low shout coming from the hall.

Bai Qingyang was puzzled, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the main hall.

I saw Li Zichou and Chen Feng wearing white and black cotton and linen bunts, standing barefoot opposite each other. Li Zichou raised his fists in an aggressive posture, while Chen Feng naturally hung his hands by his side.

"It's too slow." Chen Feng didn't seem very satisfied, "Come again!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Zichou strode forward, facing Chen Feng's face from left to right. All her punches were aimed at the vital points, and she didn't have the slightest restraint, but Chen Feng just took a few steps back and blocked all of her attacks.

Li Zifu's physical strength has been exhausted a lot, his chest is heaving violently, but Chen Feng is still calm, his face does not change.

"Not enough!" Chen Feng shook his head, "Take me as your enemy, and use all the tricks you can use to subdue the enemy!"

"Yes!" Li Zichou replied loudly, and rushed forward after shouting.

Chen Feng thought that she was about to throw a straight punch again, so he subconsciously raised his arm to avoid her attack. Unexpectedly, Li Zichou suddenly kicked his leg backwards, and the wind from his leg hit his left ear.

Chen Feng's pupils shrank, and he took a step to the right to free up his left arm to block.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng saw a slight change in Li Zichou's eyes, and his aura changed.

While Chen Feng was thinking, Li Zichou quickly walked around, preparing to make a surprise attack from behind him.

Although Li Zishou had changed his tactics, the opponent was a veteran defender after all, and his reaction and speed were several times higher than hers.

Li Zichou's attempt to attack the blind spot was seen through by Chen Feng, he just turned slightly sideways, and Li Zichou's fist was emptied.

However, the strength she exerted was pushed away by Chen Feng, and then her front skirt was roughly grabbed, Li Zifu felt dizzy for a while. When Li Zifu realized it again, he had been thrown over his shoulder by Chen Feng and fell to the ground.

Chen Feng approached again, Li Zichou became alert instantly, and rolled around on the ground, away from this opponent.

Li Zichou knelt on the ground with one knee, the hair on his forehead was already wet with sweat, and he was exhausted at this moment.

"You are very tired, are you resting?" Chen Feng asked.

Li Zifu turned his head and looked at the copper stove outside the venue. The incense standing on it was about to burn out, but the spark still refused to go out.

"It's not time yet, come again." After speaking, he rushed forward again.

Lu Xiaoyinghou was on the sidelines, staring unblinkingly at the fist and leg clashes in the arena, and even wanted to go up and learn from each other. .

Someone approached from the side, Lu Xiaoying took a glance and then continued to stare at the field: "..." This maid looks like a queen.

Bai Qingyang asked, "Why are they dressed like that and fighting?"

Lu Xiaoying: "Your Majesty said that it is more comfortable to fight in Dao clothes."

Bai Qingyang: "...Then why are you wearing this... Dao uniform?"

"Your Majesty said that everyone who enters the ashram needs to wear it..." Lu Xiaoying tugged on the belt tied around her waist, and suddenly stopped speaking in the middle of the sentence, even her heart stopped for a while.

This is not like the Empress Empress, this is the Empress Empress herself!

"My servant has seen the empress!" Lu Xiaoying hurriedly saluted her.

Bai Qingyang hadn't even uttered a word when he let out a shrill scream that resounded throughout the fluttering light nave.

"Stop, stop, stop! I admit defeat! Your Majesty, I admit defeat!"

Both Lu Xiaoying and Bai Qingyang looked at the owner of the voice, Chen Feng. Just as they were talking for a short while, the situation on the field reversed.

It turned out that Li Zifu did not know what kind of feint he had used to trick Chen Feng into going to the ground. Although it looked like Li Zichou was being pushed to the ground by him at this moment, the screams did come from Chen Feng's mouth.

"Ah? What did I miss?" Lu Xiaoying didn't see the reversal just now, and at this moment, she didn't care that Bai Qingyang was still by her side, she just wanted to know what happened.

Seeing that the incense next to him had been burned out, Li Zifu let go of Chen Feng.

Chen Feng retracted instantly, frantically flicking his little finger. If Li Zifu let go later, his finger might really be broken.

"Your Majesty, you really will do anything to win." Chen Feng rubbed his knuckles, and his tone was actually a little angry.

"Huh?" Li Zichou pretended to be stupid, "General Chen asked me to use all my tricks?"

"..."

He didn't expect that Li Zifu would break someone's fingers! Is that the direction in which human bones can bend? !

"Your Majesty is really amazing!" Lu Xiaoying praised sincerely, "It even made that General Chen Feng suffer."

"It's just a little cleverness." Li Zichou couldn't bear the compliment, turned around and said to Lu Xiaoying, but saw the person who was supposed to be in Yuheng Palace.

"Qing Yang." Li Zichou ran down the field, "Why are you here?"

"Just... I want to come and see you." Bai Qingyang replied.

Lu Xiaoying went to fetch water for Li Zigong, while Xiao Le stayed outside the hall door as usual, and there were only the two of them in the corner here.

Li Zifu had just done strenuous exercise, sweat was streaming from his forehead, and he was panting heavily. The front of the Taoist uniform was wrinkled and messy because it was pulled by a lot of force, revealing a large clean collarbone and neck, which seemed a bit impolite.

Bai Qingyang's eyes seemed to be scalded, he looked away awkwardly, and coughed slightly strangely.

Seeing Bai Qingyang's reaction, Li Zichou paused for fanning himself with his hands. He felt that his body smelled of sweat, so he moved a little away.

"Qingyang, I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first, can you wait for me?"

"Aren't you training?"

"The coach said that I have reached the standard today, and I can go to the training."

Bai Qingyang smiled: "Oh, hurry up then."

Li Zi responded and went to the bathing pool in the side hall, and Lu Xiaoying went to prepare things for her to take a bath.

Standing on the other side of the venue was Chen Feng, who noticed Bai Qingyang's gaze sweeping over, turned to her and saluted as a military officer from a distance.

Seeing that Bai Qingyang nodded, he put away his belongings and left the Yaoguang Hall.

The sun was scorching outside the hall, and the heat wave hit, causing Chen Feng to squint his eyes.

It's cool to leave early.

The author has something to say:

Li Zishou belike: The harder you work, the luckier you get.

Yang Dejin belike: I'm so weak—
