Chapter 113

Under Xue Yang's strong recommendation, Xiao Ye Zi finally found this job smoothly.Of course, she knew that there was naturally a reason for Yun Xi to make an exception and agree, otherwise no matter how much she tossed about, Yun Xi just had to turn a blind eye and she would be unable to do anything.She wanted to thank Yunxi, but for some reason, Yunxi was so busy that she disappeared for several days.She is also busy with official business, so it is inconvenient to wait as long as before, and she can't do it now, so she has to do the work at hand first, and then look for an opportunity to say thank you.

The Tuotars' equestrian skills are truly unparalleled in the world. Little Yezi only learns superficially, and he amazes the horse breeders in Yunzhong City. Even the owner of Feiji Hall, Yue Jingtang, comes to learn from Little Yezi from time to time.For a while, her name also became a new bright spot in the conversations of everyone in Yunzhong City.Everyone knows that Lord Xiao brought a little girl who can raise horses, and served all the war horses in Feijitang to be fat, strong and full of energy.Gradually, no one made gossip about Xiao Yezi behind her back.Soldiers passing by the stables would occasionally say hello to Xiao Yezi.Xiao Ye Zi also responded with a smile, very satisfied.It's just... It would be perfect if Yang Yizhao was here too.

Every night, she lives alone in the small tent, and she will be lonely from time to time.When I was in Nianfei Village, although I lived alone, at least there were people from the village as companions.But now that Yun Huan has become a sword-wielding envoy, he is so busy that he can't find his whereabouts every day. In this huge city in the clouds, except for Yun Xi who is familiar with Little Ye Zi, he can't find anyone to talk to.But it's impossible for her to talk to Yun Xi any more.After all, he is the leader of the gang, and the affairs are complicated, not to mention that the two of them had some memories before, so it is really not suitable to be the object of confiding.And to him, she is just a hostage after all, so he shouldn't think too much about it.

So she put all her energy on taking care of Chunfeng.If she suffers from insomnia at night, she will take the opportunity of going to the stables to change the materials, brush the spring breeze, clean the horseshoes and so on, so as to comfort the endless lovesickness in her heart.Tonight, she couldn't sleep again, so she put on her clothes and went to the stable to visit the spring breeze.She took Chunfeng out of the stable, brushed it with a brush, and gently stroked its mane. Looking at it, it was like seeing Yang Yizhao, with hidden sweetness.

Chunfeng was very comfortable being touched by her, and couldn't help breathing out, and put his head on her face and let out a soft cry.Feeling its intimacy, Xiao Yezi smiled softly, and said to herself: "...how are you so sensible, and you know how to comfort me." She suddenly thought of something, and smiled softly, "Do you know Chunfeng? My first When I saw you, I felt that you and Yang Yizhao were similar. Both beautiful and... conceited and coquettish."

As if thinking that this was not a good word, Chunfeng wagged his tail, snorted, and snorted arrogantly.

"Are you jealous?" Xiao Yezi hugged Chunfeng's head, leaned on it and smiled, "Actually, it's not just you who are jealous, let me tell you, don't look at me as a girl, every time I see Yang Yizhao, I am also jealous." Will be jealous... No way, he is really good-looking, probably... the most beautiful man in the world." As she spoke, her eyes blurred, "He is very good at everything. Well, he is sunny, handsome, smart, and has a sweet mouth. When he talks about love, he is really happy, and the dead can be moved by him. If you meet him, you will fall in love with him too. He Just such a beautiful person."

"But..." She curled her lips, and couldn't help smiling, "He's not good at all, he's just too flamboyant. I don't know if he's doing well in southern Xinjiang. This dead man doesn't write me a letter either." , It’s really pissing off. What are you talking about waiting for me to marry him, maybe this guy will find a good friend as soon as he arrives in southern Xinjiang, how can I remember that there is a girl here who misses him and misses him. "

Chunfeng snorted again, and this time, Xiao Yezi heard a hint of sarcasm, stretched out his hand and smacked it on the nose, and said angrily, "Hey, you are my horse, don't stand by me and condemn this bastard!" That's all, how dare you laugh at your master? If you dare to laugh again, be careful that I won't bathe you for three days, it will stink you to death."

Chunfeng opened his mouth, revealing a row of white teeth, as if smiling.Seeing its weird expression, Xiao Ye Zi couldn't help laughing: "Laughing at the spring breeze, laughing at the spring breeze...so that's what I said." She kept her hands on, quickly wiped the spring breeze clean, and gave it to her again. After feeding a few wild fruits, he put it back into the stable.She turned around to return the account, walked a few steps, and suddenly tripped, if she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have almost fallen to the ground.Looking down, it turned out that what tripped her was a wooden bow, left behind by some careless soldier.It's rare to get such a toy, Xiao Yezi became very playful, and found a branch from the stable to use as an arrow, and pointed it at a small tree in the field, as if holding a bow and nocking an arrow.

I usually see other people shooting arrows with ease, but when I actually got them in my hand, Xiao Yezi realized that archery is also hard work.Thanks to her physical grappling practice, her upper body strength was far better than before, so she managed to pull the bow a little.Even with such strenuous effort, the simple arrow failed to be ejected, and only fell crookedly to the ground not far away as the bowstring slackened.

Xiao Ye Zi sighed, picked up the arrow, and tried again.She was concentrating on the experiment when suddenly a voice came from behind her.

"That's not how archery works."

Encountering such a sudden incident in the deep night, even the courageous little Ye Zi jumped aside with a scream.Unexpectedly, the person behind also took advantage of the situation and grabbed Xiao Yezi, so that she would not fall to the ground in fright.

"You scared me to death!" She subconsciously couldn't help scolding.When she looked up to see clearly, her tongue immediately became knotted, wishing she could swallow eighty bottles of regret medicine: "Yunxi... oh no, boss."

Hearing her call her own name unintentionally, Yunxi was very helpful.Maybe it was due to the moonlight, Xiao Yezi's white skin seemed to be covered with a faint halo, which made him a little moved, and he temporarily forgot that he should be indifferent: "What are you doing here alone so late?"

"Going back to the leader, I couldn't sleep, so I came out to feed the horse..." She subconsciously hid the bow and arrow behind her, and smiled.

"No need to hide, I've seen it all." Yun Xi smiled slightly.This girl, with such a small body, still wants to hide such a big bow, it's really whimsical.He reached over her head, pulled out the bow behind her, and held it in his hand: "This is your bow? You use it, it's a bit big."

"I just picked it up..." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yunxi frowned, and hurriedly followed up, "Don't blame this soldier for this, maybe he was tired, so he left it here. Tomorrow I will quietly go to inquire about the ownership and return it to him."

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing: "When did I say I'm going to blame him?"

"Ah?" Xiao Yezi was dumbfounded, lowered her eyes for a moment, and said in a low voice, "...Did I save the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"

"Since you miss me so much...cough cough...it's okay for me to take the time to ask for accountability." Yunxi said lightly, but quietly glanced at Xiao Yezi.

When Xiao Yezi heard what he said, she became anxious immediately, and shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I really didn't mean that. Chief, you are the most tolerant and considerate, and you are the most kind person in the world. Don't blame that soldier just because of my words."

Seeing her panicked refusal, Yun Xi's mood also eased—he had been working hard all day today, and he was all dealing with official business.Fortunately, the imperial court allocated spare food and grass today, together with the batch purchased by Chai Song, the crisis in Yunzhong City was finally postponed.It was a rare day to return early, he was going to return the account under the moonlight, passing by here, but accidentally ran into Xiao Ye Zi playing here, and then he became very playful and wanted to play with her.Now that his plot has succeeded, he feels indescribably happy, and he completely forgot about today's hard work.

She seems... less afraid of me than she used to be.That's great.

"You want to learn archery?" Yun Xi smiled.

Xiao Ye Zi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, when I came to the barracks, I saw that everyone possessed special skills, and I was very itchy to practice a skill." She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "But I started too early. At night, if you practice swords and knives, you may have to wait 20 years before you can apply what you have learned. By then, I will become an old woman, what else will I use it for?"

old woman?Fantasizing about her venerable appearance, Yun Xi secretly couldn't help laughing, raised her eyebrows lightly, and couldn't help but put on a smile on her face: "Archery doesn't happen overnight, but..." Seeing her suddenly raise her head, A small face was full of anticipation, and there was a sense of superiority and satisfaction in his heart. He wanted to let her get some help and admiration from him, and immediately said softly, "If you really want to learn archery, I have a Good things can be lent to you. Come with me."

Xiao Yezi followed Yun Xi all the way to the outside of the coach's camp.As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yunxi's couch at a glance, and her body tightened involuntarily.Yun Xi glanced at her, and said indifferently: "I'll get you something, just wait at the door."

That's great.Xiao Ye Zi hurriedly turned around, walked outside the tent and waited.After all, there was still an unpleasant skin-to-skin relationship. No matter how relaxed she was, she still couldn't completely forget the established memories.If Yang Yizhao was by her side, she would have run away with Yang Yizhao long ago, and there would be no need to be tortured here.But now that Yang Yizhao is not here, she has been lonely in Yunzhong City for these days, and it is rare to find someone to talk to. The chat is relatively easy, and she can learn knowledge and skills. She really doesn't want to turn around and walk away. I suppressed my restless heart, and waited obediently at the door.

Not long after, Yun Xi came out with a strangely shaped small wooden frame.Xiao Ye Zi stared at the wooden frame, doubting in her heart—this thing is not a bow, but it looks like a bow, and it is a bow, but there is an arm-like crossbar extending from the bow to hook the bowstring. What a strange thing.

Seeing her cute and puzzled face, Yun Xi smiled slightly: "This is called a crossbow. Come on, let's go to the training ground, and I will teach you how to use it."

Before the two of them came to the bow and arrow position in the training ground, Yun Xi took out a shuttle-blade arrow from the quiver behind him, placed it on the crossbow machine, raised the body of the crossbow, aimed at the training target several feet away, and with one finger, buckle.There was a clang sound, and the shuttle blade arrow shot out in response, hitting the bull's-eye in the distance.

It was also seen that he was struggling to draw the bow, and with just a light snap of his fingers, the arrow shot to such a long distance, it was amazing.Xiao Ye Zi was extremely surprised, took the crossbow machine and arrows from Yun Xi's hands, carefully played them, and asked for advice in a soft voice.Yun Xi then explained how to use it, and after saying it a few times, Xiao Yezi had already memorized the essentials.She stood still on the ground, aimed the crossbow, raised her hand and hit a small target not far away with an arrow.Although she didn't win the heart, she was still very happy and shouted happily: "I won, I won!"

Yun Xi dotingly watched her cheering and cheering, feeling a little complacent, and only smiled slightly: "You are very smart. As long as you practice hard, you will soon master the key."

Xiao Ye Zi was so excitedly immersed in the little success at this moment, even Yun Xi in front of him no longer looked so awkward as before.

"I seem to see that some soldiers are also using similar weapons... It's just that their crossbows are huge, and they look heavy and strong at first glance. Why is mine so small and light?"

"This is..." Yun Xi paused, in fact, it was a crossbow specially made for her by someone, but today it was a coincidence, so he "borrowed" it to her.But he also refused to let her know all this, he just said indifferently: "It's just a small toy that I collected before, since you have it in your hand, then practice hard."

His face was hot, but fortunately the night was dark, Xiao Yezi didn't notice all of this, and he was still playing with the crossbow enthusiastically, while talking and laughing, he had retrieved the shuttle blade arrow, put it on the crossbow again, and held his breath again shoot out.It's a pity that Xiao Yezi didn't get hit again this time, instead, her left hand was hurt by the shuttle blade arrow, and she flattened her mouth in frustration: "You said it was a toy, but it's actually quite difficult."

Yun Xi smiled - he could see clearly from the side, knowing that the posture of holding the handle with his left hand is very important when shooting with the crossbow.In fact, the arrow that Xiao Yezi shot just now was purely a coincidence, the reason why she couldn't do it well many times was because of her poor posture.Seeing that she was about to strike again, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to straighten her crooked left hand.He had just touched the back of her hand when he felt something strange in his heart.But Xiao Yezi was immersed in the practice, ignored these details, and only called out: "Why do you always miss?"

Yun Xi coughed, stopped her hand in mid-air, and said softly: "Don't mind." After that, he held her left hand and led her to adjust it.A burst of sweet fragrance diffused from the back of her neck into his breath, making him a little drowsy.Xiao Ye Zi didn't pay attention to these details at first, but when she heard him say this sentence, she suddenly felt a little unnatural, she couldn't help but look back at him, trying to see some clues from his face.But seeing Yunxi standing behind her, although she was holding her hand, her eyes were cold and cold, obviously not as charming as she thought, she couldn't help scolding herself for thinking too much, so she could study with peace of mind.

She adjusted her posture according to Yunxi's request, held the handle with her left hand, and plucked the string with her right hand, and shot another arrow!

There was only a bang, and the grass target in the distance fell down in response.Xiao Yezi was ecstatic, and was about to turn around to thank Yun Xi for the virtue she had bestowed upon her, but when she turned around, Yun Xi was nowhere to be seen.

Really unable to understand the mystery of Yunxi's coming and going without a trace, Xiao Yezi could only curl her lips—oh, I owe Yunxi another favor, what should I use in the future?
