Ever since Nangong Xingyu was kicked into the lake by her, he had changed completely. He no longer picked a fight with her and brought her delicious food in different ways every day.
I would ask her out for fun from time to time.
Today, she was reading in the attic. Nangong Xingyu climbed up the old locust tree in her home and called her: "Huanian, Liu Huanian..."
She heard the noise, put down the book, walked over and saw him climbing up the tree with difficulty. She was so scared that her legs were shaking, but she pretended to be calm: "Huanian, I heard that a group of dancers from the Western Regions came to Kyoto recently. They dance very beautifully. Let's go and watch."
"No, I want to read." Liu Huanian refused him without hesitation.
What's so good about dancing?
"Then let's go watch the horse racing? I heard that Danchi sent people to marry Dayu, and they are holding a horse racing and archery competition outside the city today." Nangong Xingyu persisted.
Horse racing is fine.
Liu Huanian thought for a moment and shouted toward the roof: "Brother."
Ning Shaoqing poked his head down from the roof: "Go ahead, don't fight, run if you encounter danger."
With her current level of martial arts skills, most people can't outrun her.
Liu Huanian nodded, jumped down from the second floor, and looked at Nangong Xingyu on the tree: "Come down."
Nangong Xingyu glanced at the ground, closed his eyes, jumped down with a thud, and fell on his butt.
Liu Huanian: ...
The two of them rode in a carriage out of the city. Along the way, Nangong Xingyu was very happy, gesticulating and describing to her the bustle of the racecourse.
Liu Huanian looked at him coldly and thought he was quite lively.
When they came here, there were people everywhere. The Danchi people were different from them. They were martial people, so the entire racecourse was almost full of Danchi people.
As for them, Dayu Shangwen basically just stood by and watched the fun, occasionally composing a couple of lines of poetry to express his feelings.
Uncle Xiang Wang was very powerful, advancing rapidly all the way, leaving all the Danchi people behind. Only a sister named Ashina Ge could barely keep up.
After running for a while, the two were evenly matched, so they began to compete in archery.
Ashina Ge shot three arrows right into the bull's eye and stopped to look at King Xiang.
King Xiang smiled, and with one bow and three arrows, he shot down all three arrows on Ashina Ge's target.
"Your Highness Prince Xiang is a very good archer. Ashina Ge is better than you."
Ashina Ge was also a straightforward person. Losing was losing, but the Danchi people had always respected heroes.
King Xiang was not hypocritical: "Thank you."
After saying this, he took away the eagle that symbolized Danchi.
When passing by Liu Huanian, he held up the cage and asked her, "Do you like it?"
Liu Huanian nodded: "I like it."
"This is for you." King Xiang handed over the cage generously.
Liu Huanian didn't dare to answer: "Uncle, this is your trophy."
"Uncle has plenty of spoils, so he doesn't need a bird."
Liu Huanian then reached out and took it: "Thank you, uncle."
King Xiang smiled, said nothing, and rode away on his horse.
Nangong Xingyu saw King Xiang leave, then asked her, "Do you like horses?"
Section 210
"What horse?"
Nangong Xingyu pointed at a wild horse that looked very fierce and said, "That one."
"like."
"Then wait, I'll go and get it for you." After Nangong Xingyu said that, he ran out happily.
Liu Huanian wanted to stop him, but he said, "It's a wild horse. Whoever tames it owns it. You can't do that."
But he ran so fast that no one could stop him and he had already jumped onto the horse's back.
The result was predictable. The wild horse immediately became restless and started running wildly, trying to throw him off.
Nangong Xingyu held the reins tightly and even though he was shaken dizzy, he still refused to let go.
Liu Huanian was anxious: "Let it go, jump down quickly, or it will fall to death."
But Nangong Xingyu just didn't let go: "I'm fine, I will definitely be able to tame it, wait for me."
Liu Huanian: ...
The wild horse was frightened and ran wildly around the racecourse, hitting many things along the way. Then everyone reacted and tried to pull the reins. But the wild horse was running wildly and they couldn't get close at all.
Liu Huanian stamped his feet, turned around and rushed over to ask King Xiang for help.
King Xiang was originally talking to Ashina Ge, but when he heard Liu Huanian's words, he immediately frowned and said, "Let's go."
Several people rushed back to the racecourse. The wild horses were almost going crazy, and Nangong Xingyu was almost unable to hold the reins.
Liu Huanian was so anxious that he pulled the Prince Xiang's sleeve and said, "Uncle, uncle, please save him."
I'm about to cry.
"It's okay." King Xiang patted her little head, then found a rope and put it around her neck when the wild horse galloped past them.
Then the rope was straightened, and he followed the force and jumped onto the horse's back in an instant. He picked up Nangong Xingyu with one hand and threw him out.
Ashina Ge jumped out and caught Nangong Xingyu.
King Xiang harnessed the horse, and after a series of operations, the wild horse gradually calmed down. After running two more laps, it finally became quiet, obediently followed King Xiang's instructions, and slowly walked back.
After taming the wild horse, King Xiang handed it over to someone else, walked back, and turned around with Nangong Xingyu in one hand: "It's okay, it's still strong."
Nangong Xingyu had come back to his senses and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, uncle."
King Xiang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You're welcome. You're quite courageous, much better than your father. Boys should be like this. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. But you have to dare to try and take risks. If you fall many times, you will naturally learn it."
"Thank you for your guidance, uncle."
"Okay, this horse is yours." King Xiang said, then turned and left.
Nangong Xingyu took the reins and said to Liu Huanian a little embarrassedly: "My uncle tamed it this time, but I promise that next time I will tame one for you myself."
Liu Huanian did not blame him, but took the reins and said, "Okay."
Nangong Xingyu was delighted when he saw her accept his gift: "Huanian, are you going to be friends with me?"
Liu Huanian hummed: "But you have to be smarter in the future. If you are too stupid, I can't communicate with you."
Nangong Xingyu was so happy that he promised repeatedly: "Don't worry, from today on, I will study hard in the class. Tomorrow I will tell my father to let me practice martial arts and learn the art of war from my uncle."
Liu Huanian was made to laugh by him, looking stupid and daft, and he didn't know who he was following.
However, although he is not smart, he is very sincere, so she will not tease him anymore.
After this incident, Liu Huanian had a good time with him. The two of them had fun at the racecourse for the whole day until Ning Shaoqing came to pick her up.
"Brother, I want to carry you."
"Let me carry you." Nangong Xingyu volunteered.
"Can you carry me? I'm very heavy." Liu Huanian looked at him.
"If you can carry it, I can definitely carry it." Nangong Xingyu half squatted down and let her get up.
Liu Huanian hesitated for a moment, but still climbed up.
Nangong Xingyu actually carried her on his back. Ning Shaoqing smiled secretly as he watched his laborious steps.
This kid is better than his father. He knows that the early bird catches the worm.
A big kid and two small kids were walking on the street.
After walking for a while, Liu Huanian suddenly patted Nangong Xingyu: "Stop, stop, stop."
Then she jumped down and took her brother's hand: "Brother, look at that...does it look like my mother?"
