Chapter 165
Xiao Ruohai lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Jinzhi who was a little shorter than Bai Qingyan. Seeing the little girl's eyes were red, he comforted him in a low voice: "The eldest girl has a sense of proportion, so don't worry about the fourth girl."
Bai Jinzhi is no stranger to iron sandbags. All members of the Bai family have used them in martial arts, but Bai Jinzhi has never used such a heavy iron sandbag.
The eldest sister is so weak, can she bear it? !
·
At the end of Yin time.
The cold wind howled, and snowflakes floated in twos and threes in Baiwo City.
In the martial arts arena, in the high brazier, the raging fire swayed warmly in the wind.
In the silence, the sound of arrows piercing the air kept ringing, falling, ringing again, hitting the grass handle, and falling again.
Sweat dripped down Bai Qingyan's chin, and the clothes on her chest and back were soaked, and her whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, steaming in this extremely cold night.
She adjusted her breath, stared at the red spot on the grass handle under the firelight with calm water eyes for a moment, drew a full bow again, tensed, gritted her teeth and pulled a bow to the extreme, and the bow wood made a very subtle sound.
Her riding and shooting were all taught by her father, her father... is an invincible marksman in the Jin Kingdom, and so is she!
A single snowflake fell on her extremely long eyelashes, she let go...
"call out--"
Xiao Ruohai couldn't help but clenched his fists, restrained his excited voice, and said, "My lord, you've been hit!"
Right in the heart!
Accurate, Bai Qingyan has always had this self-confidence, but his strength is still lacking, after all, Xiao Ruohai moved the handle closer.
Bai Qingyan panted for a moment, then pulled out a feathered arrow from the quiver again, and just put it on the bow... His eyes darkened, and he turned around suddenly, without any strength left, the arrow pointed at someone, and the bow was so tight that it was about to explode .
Less than ten feet away, Xiao Rongyan with only one guard stood in the wind and snow, his quiet dark eyes looked at the slender figure with an extremely neat and beautiful posture of holding an arrow and drawing a bow.
The flames swaying violently in the wind reflected her sharp eyes flickering bright and dark, and the extremely terrifying murderous aura was about to come out at that moment, and the arrows were cold.
"Master Bai..." Xiao Rongyan saluted Bai Qingyan from a distance.
She withdrew her arrow: "Mr. Xiao got up really early."
Xiao Rongyan remained calm and walked towards her slowly, watching the sweat from her temples sinking into her collar along her curvaceous and slender neck, she staggered her eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "Can the sun-shooting bow in Mr. Bai's hand be borrowed from Mr. Xiao?" Take a look?"
She handed the sun shooting bow in her hand to Xiao Rongyan.
Xiao Rongyan took a closer look at the Sun Shooting Bow by the light of the fire, and said with emotion: "This Sun Shooting Bow was made by the late Great General Tang Yi of Dayan. The eldest son of the emperor abandoned the fifteen-year-old birthday gift, never thought that this sun-shooting bow would finally become famous in the hands of Mr. Bai, if General Tang Yi knew about it, he would be very pleased."
Bai Qingyan went out with his grandfather back then and won the title of Little Bai Shuai. He is most famous for three things, the white horse with the wind, the red-tasseled long spear and the sun-shooting bow that shoots all arrows.
However, the guardian of the blast was dead, and the red-tasseled spear and the sun-shooting bow were shelved along with Bai Qingyan's injury.
Xiao Rongyan returned the sun-shooting bow with both hands, and she took it and handed it to Xiao Ruohai: "Did Mr. Xiao come because of what Xiaosi said yesterday?"
"Young master Xiaosi is smarter than Xiao expected." Xiao Rongyan had a gentle smile in his eyes, talking about Xiaosi like an elder with a sense of relief.
"Mr. Xiao is kind to the Bai family, and Xiao Si knows how to measure it."
Xiao Rongyan looked back at the guard who was following him, the guard clasped his fists in salute and stepped back.
Seeing this, Bai Qingyan also turned her head and nodded to Xiao Ruohai, and Xiao Ruohai also nodded and retreated.
"Mr. Xiao can speak directly if he has something to say," she said.
Xiao Rongyan looked at her with soft and deep eyes, untied the cloak on her body and put it on Bai Qingyan's body, lowered her eyes to help her tie it, and scraped her chin with her calloused fingertips, she instinctively avoided, but saw Xiao Rongyan Eyelashes drooping, she was very focused, and her movements were gentle and gentle.
"Mr. Xiao..."
She raised her hand to stop, but Xiao Rongyan instinctively grabbed her hand.
The cold wind was howling all around, the snowflakes were falling here and there, the flames were shining brightly, and there were many figures of two people, only the sound of the banners flying around the martial arts field was left in her ears.
While being astonished, her whole body was enveloped by a strange masculine breath, and the elegant and low-key steady masculinity in her nose seemed to be different from the fragrance of aloes.
She wanted to withdraw her hand, but the fingertips wrapped by Xiao Rongyan's big hand did not move at all.
With four eyes facing each other, the man's facial features are as sharp as those carved by a knife and axe, his eyelids are heavy, and his high browbones make his outline even more profound. In this night where the fire is flickering, he seems to have a calm charm that overwhelms all living beings.
The roots of her ears were hot, and her breathing stagnated for a moment before she realized that goose bumps had formed on her arms.
If it wasn't for her face being flushed with heat from practicing for too long, she would definitely be timid at this moment.
Xiao Rongyan watched her very quietly, the firelight was reflected in his dark pupils, there was no frivolity or teasing intention, his gaze was full of gentleness and sincerity.
"fear me?"
In Xiao Rongyan's hoarse voice, there is a certain emotion that is about to break out of the cocoon at any time, but thinking of the current situation of Dayan Kingdom... It seems that a basin of cold water has been poured head-on, and the hot color in his eyes seems to have sunk to the bottom of the valley.
Rather than saying that she is afraid of him, it is more appropriate to say that she is jealous.
In her previous life, the Regent of Dayan had left a deep impression on her, and his methods were vicious. To Bai Qingyan... If he was an opponent, he would definitely be the opponent she feared the most. It adds up to threats.
She stabilized her mind and replied calmly: "Men and women are different."
Only then did Xiao Rongyan slowly let go of her fingertips, and said calmly in a gentle voice, "The goods I transported are indeed not spices, but herbs, salt, and iron weapons."
"Is it the batch that Dayan borrowed from Daliang Gaoli years ago?" She responded very quickly.
Years ago, Dayan was hit by floods and droughts, which made the already poor Dayan even worse. Dayan asked for help from all over the world...but only Daliang, whose land was not bordered by the two sides, was willing to borrow from Dayan at a high profit.
Xiao Rongyan did not hide it, and nodded: "The things were originally sent back to Dayan in six routes, and the food and weapons along the way have been intercepted by Rong Di. Now that Dayan is in decline, it cannot compete with Rong Di. All countries are staring at each other and hope that Dayan will perish. Soon, Xiao This is why a certain person had no choice but to combine the six roads into one, took the risk and traveled from the territory of Dajin, and was sent back by someone Xiao."
It’s fine if it’s a normal time. Now that the battle in southern Xinjiang is in a state of anxiety, the food and grains are fine... weapons, salt and iron, etc., are privately owned by the government from Xu people’s traders. .
Xiao Rongyan wanted to take advantage of the crown prince's position and accompany the army to deliver food and weapons to Pingyang City, which borders Dayan.
Good calculation!
