The Favored Medical Princess

The sky is gray and the wind is rustling.

Amid a burst of eagle cries, a white eagle spread its wings and glides down from the city wall, impatiently flying towards the gray eagle ahead.

The two eagles, one white and one gray, competed in voice, speed, and circled, almost stealing the demeanor of the [-] army below, blue sky and white clouds, let it soar!

"noob!"

Xiao Yi, who rode his horse, was full of travel and dust, but his beautiful face was radiant, and there was no trace of fatigue.

In the winter day, the golden sun is shining softly, and the two young people who are only a few feet apart look at each other and smile, their black eyes are shining brightly in the sun, as bright as cold stars.

They are not far from their goal!

Soon, the black banner embroidered with the word "Xiao" was also inserted on the top of the city wall, juxtaposed with the silver-white banner, and the two banners fluttered in the wind together, making a sound of hunting.

The soldiers of the Southern Border Army inside and outside the city were all looking up at the two banners, their blood was boiling with enthusiasm, and the temperature around them seemed to rise accordingly. The eagle became more excited, crowing one after another, circling and playing above.

The corner of Guan Yubai's mouth twitched into a faint smile, he looked at Xiao Yi and said with a smile: "A Yi, you came just in time, now that Zhongling City has been settled, the remnants wandering around..."

Guan Yubai's topic had just begun, but Xiao Yi waved his hand and interrupted casually: "Xiao Bai, didn't we agree that all the battles in Xiye will be decided by you!"

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, Han Yu flew down while crying, and landed on Xiao Si's arm, as if echoing Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Han Yu, his smiling expression seemed to say, Xiaobai, look, even your Han Yu has spoken!

Guan Yubai couldn't help laughing.

"Little Bai!" Xiao Yi suddenly raised his brows, and grinned with a sly fox-like smile.

Seeing this, Xiao Si's heart skipped a beat, and he had a faint premonition that this Prince Xiao might come up with some weird idea on a whim!

really--

In the next moment, Xiao Yi enthusiastically suggested: "Xiao Bai, the weather is fine today, shall we go hunting?"

The corners of Xiao Si's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself: These [-] troops are waiting to enter the city with this Prince Xiao, but he is lucky, why did he say he was going to hunt out of nowhere?

Even Guan Yubai was taken aback, originally thinking that Xiao Yi was exhausted all the way, and planned to take him into the city to settle down and rest first.But hunting doesn't take much time anyway, so why not? !

Guan Yubai simply nodded in response.

"Xiao Bai, I knew you were refreshing! Let's go!" Xiao Yi laughed loudly, turned his horse's head around, and rode away first, followed by Guan Yubai and Xiao Si.

The three of them drove far away in the blink of an eye, only to hear Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai's almost roaring inquiries from behind: "Brother, Lord Hou, where are you going?"

No one answered the questions of the two of them, and the tens of thousands of southern border troops in the rear were all confused by this scene.Shi Ziye and Hou Ye are still so unreasonable in their actions. The two armies have just met, and their two coaches left the army and left. What is going on? !

Under the leadership of Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai and Xiao Si flew all the way north.

As careful as an official's language, Bai quickly realized that the "hunting" Xiao Yi was talking about was by no means an ordinary hunt, because Xiao Yi had followed the official path all the way, and he had no intention of going to the mountains and forests at all.

It was like this for half an hour, and it was still like this after an hour...

The farther you are from Zhongling City, the more empty and lonely the surrounding area will be. After the horse gallops for more than ten miles, you will no longer see the people of the Southern Border Army. After getting off the three of them, I didn't meet anyone else along the way, as if this road was specially opened for the three of them!

Amidst bursts of vigorous hooves, the horse galloped tirelessly forward. Guan Yubai didn't ask, and Xiao Yi didn't take the initiative to say anything, but even so, Guan Yubai had already vaguely guessed in his heart that Xiao Yi was going to take him. Where to go, but I don't know what Xiao Yi is going to take him there for.

The sun rose from the east to the west, and I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yi finally deviated from the official road and headed for a side road on the right without hesitation.

The map of Xiye has long been engraved in Guan Yubai's heart. From Zhongling City to this area, he is even more familiar with it. Even if he has never been here before, he can tell that this path passes through Xilin Mountain. Xilin Mountain is not high, and it is not a famous mountain range. If it is not because of its special location, it is probably just an unknown hill.

After the three of them galloped for another two miles from the fork in the road, they came to the foot of Xilin Mountain, abandoned their horses and walked.

When they came to the top of the mountain, most of the sunset had already set, and the western sky was glowing red.

Following Xiao Yi's gaze and looking down at the scenery below the mountain, Xiao Si let out a low cry in a rare loss of composure.

In the northwest, the afterglow of the setting sun covered the city one mile ahead with a layer of golden-red gauze, making it look so majestic and inviolable.

Xiao Si stared at that city, he had never been here before, and it was the first time he saw this city, at this moment, he couldn't even see the Xiye characters above the city gate.

But, he knew where it was—

Western night capital.

Xiao Si unconsciously clenched his fist, his face still expressionless, but two clusters of flames were burning in his black eyes.

But, why did Xiao Yi bring him and the young master here?

Xiao Si squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously.

At this time, Xiao Yi took off the big bow behind his back. This bow seemed to be a little bigger than ordinary bows, making Xiao Yi's tall and straight figure slightly thinner. There was only one An arrow, with a strip of cloth folded into a long strip tied to the body of the arrow, on which some words seem to be written...

Xiao Si still had many questions in his heart, and he didn't know what Xiao Yi was going to do. However, Guan Yubai already knew, his lips were slightly pursed, and he looked at Xiao Yi deeply, his eyes were in a daze, And it seems that what I'm looking at is not Xiao Yi, but a memory from a long, long time ago...

A gust of cold mountain wind was blowing towards him, making the surrounding branches and leaves rustle, and also blowing the broken hair on Xiao Yi's cheeks flying back, revealing his sharp-edged outline.

The young and handsome face looked one part calm, two parts indifferent, and three parts arrogant.

He had already placed the feathered arrow on the bow, and he pulled the bowstring to the full in one go, and the gleaming tip of the arrow pointed straight at the city below the mountain...

At this moment, Xiao Yi's eyes were sharper than an arrow, but the corners of his mouth still had the usual casual smile, and he said, "Fortunately, it was before dark, and the light is just right now!"

Before the words fell, the right hand had already been released, and with the sound of "Zheng", the arrow shot out like lightning, leaving only the thin bowstring vibrating in the air, making a soft buzzing sound, and in an instant I was overwhelmed by the mountain wind...

The burning eyes of the three of them all fell on the off-string arrow.

"Whoosh-"

With the sound of the sharp wind, the long arrow galloped towards the city below the mountain, or in other words, the direction of the city wall, flying farther and farther, but there was no sign of slowing down, and even faster and faster, like a shooting star. The ground streaked across the sky, and the cloth strips tied to the arrow were swaying in the mountain wind...

Guan Yubai stared at the flying arrow without blinking, and many images flashed in his mind.

Before this expedition to Xiye, he and Xiao Yi had discussed various strategies and countermeasures for this trip in Qingyunwu for several days and nights, just to be sure.One of the nights, when the two of them were drinking bamboo wine in front of the moon, he jokingly mentioned that when he was young and frivolous, he thought that one day he would go to Xiye alone and send the letter of war to the city wall of Xiye capital with his own hands. Come on, let all Xiye people know the power of his official army!

This was just a joke he said after drinking, but he didn't expect Xiao Yi to write it down, to do it!

Guan Yubai clenched his fists in his sleeves, and gradually his eyes became a little sour, but he still stared at the arrow, which seemed to come from the past.

The next moment, I saw that long arrow accurately hit the thick flagpole on the city wall, the arrow tip pierced out from the other end, the flagpole instantly burst, and the Xiye Banner hanging above fell down along with the broken flagpole. down...

The city wall was nearly a mile away from Xiao Yi and the others, so of course they couldn't hear anything, but at this moment Xiao Si felt as if he could clearly hear the sound of the flagpole breaking.

So crisp, so sharp, so delightful!

So this is what Xiao Yi called "hunting"!The corner of Xiao Si's mouth slightly raised at an angle that Xiao Yi couldn't see.

The three young men stood quietly in the mountain wind, and after a while, the gentle and gentle voice of the official language slowly sounded: "Pierce the pole with five hundred steps, A Yi, your arrow technique has improved again!"

"That's natural!" Xiao Yi replied triumphantly, full of energy.

At the same time, the walls of the capital city were already stirring, as restless as a pot of water that was about to boil.

The fall of the banner immediately attracted several Xiye soldiers shouting like frightened birds:

"The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"

More and more soldiers heard the sound and went up to the city wall. Looking around, they found that there was a calm outside the city wall. It was clear at a glance on the empty flat ground that there was no trace of the enemy at all.

"But, where did this arrow come from?" A Xiye soldier pointed at the feathered arrow that was still stuck on the flagpole with trepidation, and stammered, "It's... it can't be a ghost. right?"

As he spoke, he looked out of the city again. At this time, the sun had almost completely set, and the sky had already turned yellow. The earth looked a little desolate and gloomy, which foreshadowed the coming of night.

Immediately afterwards, another Xiye soldier beside him yelled as if he had seen a ghost: "Guan, there are two words for Guan... Quickly look, is this the word 'Guan' for Dayu?"

Several soldiers swallowed nervously, and when they looked closely, they saw that there was indeed a word written on the end of the cloth strip tied to the arrow, a word that was very familiar to most Xiye soldiers——

official.

A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and the city wall boiled instantly.

Guan Yubai is coming!

He shot off their Xiye banner with one arrow, so what is he going to do next? !

The Xiye soldiers on the city wall looked around anxiously, feeling that there seemed to be some ferocious beasts hidden in those dark corners staring at them...

"Quick, quickly present this arrow to the king!"

After someone said something, the feathered arrow was quickly taken down and sent to the palace immediately...

When the arrow left the sight of Xiao Yi and the three of them, they left Xilin Mountain without hesitation, and then mounted their horses again, this time, on their way back to Zhongling City.

Then there was nearly four or five hours of horse galloping, but the three young people did not feel a little tired, and they were in a good mood and radiant amidst the flying horseshoes.

On the way back, it was still just the three of them galloping all the way, watching the sunset completely set from the horizon, watching the stars and moons appear and fade in the night sky, watching the eastern sky appear pale again...

At this time, Zhongleng City also appeared in front.

In the distance, the arrival of the three horses attracted the attention of several guards on the city wall. When they saw that the son and Marquis An Yi had returned, they immediately took action. Some went to report to the general, while others Arrange for manpower to open the city gate.

Before dawn, Zhongleng City woke up to the sound of the rumbling gate opening.

Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai and Xiao Si entered the city without stopping, and went all the way to the mansion where Guan Yubai lived temporarily.

They had just dismounted when they saw Fu Yunhe who had just received the report greeted him with a strange face. He had obviously just gotten up from the couch, his eyes were sleepy, his hair was messy, and his blue robe was covered with wrinkles.

Fu Yunhe yawned sleepily, cupped his fists as a salute, and then deliberately asked, "Brother, Lord Hou, didn't you go hunting? Where's the prey?"

Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai, and Xiao Si walked for a day and a night before returning. Even if Fu Yunhe believed that they were hunting at the beginning, he felt something was wrong later on.

Fu Yunhe looked the three of them up and down, his curiosity couldn't be concealed in his eyes.

Xiao Yi didn't intend to do what he wanted, so he dismissed him casually: "Let's settle it on the spot!"

At this time, Zhuzi came in a hurry. Seeing that Xiao Yi and the others had returned safely, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked for instructions: "My lord, there is shredded chicken porridge simmering in the kitchen. Do you and Lord Hou want some?"

As soon as Zhuzi asked, Xiao Yi felt hungry all of a sudden, and called Guan Yubai to have porridge together.

Fu Yunhe felt as if there were countless ants tickling in his heart, and he was really curious, so he followed along, saying: "Brother, Lord Hou, I'm hungry too! I'll drink with you Go porridge!"

Until the two bowls of porridge were finished, Fu Yunhe still didn't ask anything, and could only watch Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai leave separately.

After Guan Yubai returned to the house, he took a rest. After a night of sleepless excitement, he was so tired that he fell asleep... When he opened his eyes again, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and it was already noon. .

He actually fell asleep for three full hours, and he didn't wake up even once!

Thinking of yesterday's scenes, the corners of Guan Yubai's mouth slightly curled up, feeling that his heart seemed to be much lighter...

After some lunch, he sat alone by the window of the study and read a book, letting the warm sun shine on him at noon, and the surroundings were quiet.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the study, and Xiao Yi's familiar voice: "Xiao Bai! Xiao Bai..."

Guan Yubai suddenly raised his head from the book, feeling something was wrong.

Soon after hearing the sound of curtains being raised, Xiao Yi strode into the study with a piece of tissue paper in his hand, and his slightly frowned brows couldn't hide his anxiety.

"Xiao Bai, I have something to discuss with you!" Xiao Yi said, while handing the tissue paper in his hand to Guan Yubai, "This is the letter I just received from home..." As he spoke, Xiao Yi's expression became more and more serious. It's ugly, this letter from home is too late!

letter from home? !Guan Yubai was stunned, his expression froze slightly, he naturally guessed that something happened in the palace.

Guan Yubai took the letter and looked down. The golden sunlight shone in through the window, casting a strange shadow on his jade-like face.

Xiao Yili's face was almost wrinkled, and he sighed worriedly: "Hey, Ayue must be frightened, but I'm not in Luoyue City!" Xiao Yi looked like he wanted to fly back to southern Xinjiang, gnashing his teeth. Thinking: This posing is really true, if you want to die, you have to die in Luoyue City, it's okay to cause trouble to Ah Yue!

At this moment, Guan Yubai had also finished reading the letter, his eyes flickered under his half-drowned eyelids, and he pondered deeply...

After a while, he returned the piece of tissue paper in his hand to Xiao Yi, raised his eyes to look at him, and said with certainty: "A Yi, this person should be the former saintess Ayimu of Baiyue, the eldest prince Kui Lang and the sixth prince. Carrero's biological mother!"
