Stepmother Shaoguang

On the school field, the sage was competing with the fifth prince in archery.

The other princes should have learned riding and archery here, but because of the arrival of the saint, they were forced to stand aside and watch.

The young six and seven didn't feel any disappointment, they watched with great interest and cheered for Brother Wu.

The bows and arrows used by the sage are all engraved with the image of a noble golden dragon. The body of the bow is made of red sandalwood, which is very light but extremely hard.

When the sage drew the bow, he felt that his body stretched along with the bowstring.

The sons off the court were all very athletic. Standing with them, he also felt that he had become younger and more energetic.

"Old Five, I taught you how to ride and shoot. Today I will come to check how you are doing."

The two stood side by side.

The Fifth Prince wears a ochre-red python pattern on his forehead, wears a riding outfit of the same color, his hair is tied high behind his head, and he is beginning to look heroic.

Hearing this, he looked very happy, and raised his voice to answer: "Father, please come, son is not afraid of losing!"

"Don't say lose, how do you know you will lose?"

The tense bowstring under the saint's hand was loosened, and the sharp sword left the string, flew towards the opposite target, and firmly stuck on the red heart.

Although it is not in the middle, it is a little off, but it is also extremely close.

"it is good!"

The palm of the careless old sixth was slapped red, and he applauded loudly.

The fourth prince also clapped his hands, thinking that he could do it too.

It was the fifth prince's turn, he looked nervously at the saint, let out a breath, eager to try.

"Father, if you win, my son wants a good bow!"

"Okay, I will give you this one in my hand!"

Imperial bows and arrows can only be used by emperors.

The Fifth Prince grinned as he won the lottery he wanted.

Hold your breath and concentrate on the arrow in your hand.The sharp arrow pierced through the air, but it missed a bit and stuck on the outer edge of the red heart.

"It's already pretty good, Fifth Brother!"

The sixth and seventh princes were excited for him.

"Good practice, keep going!"

The saint also gave him an appreciative look.

With the remaining two arrows, the level of the fifth prince was maintained at the level of the first arrow.

The result is naturally that the saint won.

Although the fifth prince did not win the lottery, the sage still had someone find a good bow from the warehouse and gave it to him.

"Father is mighty, your son is indeed far inferior to you."

The Fifth Prince bowed his head modestly, his tone full of envy.

"I feel old when I'm with you. To be honest, don't you think so?"

Although the saint's tone was joking, the princes all turned pale with fright and quickly said no.

"Hey, saint, you scared the princes." Kang Shouzhong smoothed things over with a smile, "You are in your prime, and you are still far away from old age."

The sage took away the fifth prince, leaving the others to continue practicing in the school field.

"Fifth, I have read your article. Are you killing relatives righteously? Why, your mother and concubine are willing to let me check your uncle?"

The fifth prince stood beside the sage, and said solemnly: "Father, General Lu is the pillar of my court, and he was assassinated in his own home, and the other party blamed his uncle, which shows that his heart is sinister! Father, if you don't find out the truth, Not only will the Xiao family be framed, but General Lu will also be unable to find the real enemy."

"Oh? Your concubine thinks so too?"

Saints are interested.

"Yes, that's what my concubine meant."

Ma Yue's life and death are uncertain, and now he can only be regarded as dead, and he can no longer appear alive.

His younger siblings are still in the hands of the Xiao family, and they are not worried that he will betray him.

"You are a good boy. Among my sons, the third child is the smartest with you."

The sage left this sentence and walked forward.

Ma Yue was detained in the cellar by Lu Xiaowen for not a day or two.

He was fed Ruanjin powder, which was harmless to life, but his hands and feet were weak and he had no strength to escape.

There are only people who give him three meals a day and water all day long. If he doesn't eat or drink, he will still take them away the next day and bring new ones, ignoring him.

In this way, I don't know how many days passed underground.

Counting the number of meals, it has been about six days.

There was a slight movement at the end of the cellar. After a while, Ma Yue looked at the person in front of him, his expression unchanged: "How did you get in?"

The former brothers looked at his appearance and couldn't bear to say: "The master asked us to come, I took advantage of the guards outside not paying attention, and came in."

"I messed up the mission and exposed the Xiao family, so he asked you to silence me?" Ma Yue said weakly, he hadn't had any water for three days, "Tong Jun... look at me like this, even if you don't Come on, I won't live for a few more days."

Tong Jun, who grew up with him since childhood, although they are Xiao Chongdao's secret guards, they are not dead men, and they have feelings for each other.

"A Yue... Shall I help you escape?" Tong Jun tremblingly said this, and the guard next to him was startled: "Tong Jun!"

But Ma Yue shook his head: "I can't escape, not only me, you can't escape either."

"What do you mean?" The guard next to him frowned and looked around vigilantly, only to find that no one came.

"Let's make a quick decision." He said to Tong Jun, the Fifth Prince had an order with Xiao Chongdao not to waste time by talking too much, and immediately returned to Xiao's residence to report.

"Let's do it." Seeing that Ma Yue clearly wanted to say something just now, Tong Jun shut his mouth after hearing the fifth prince's instructions, as if he didn't want to say more, and just wanted to end it.

"A Yue, I will take care of your younger siblings for you..." Tong Jun couldn't bear it, turned his head away, and asked his companion to do it.

With the knife in hand, warm blood splashed all over the two of them, and was quickly absorbed by the special black cloth used for the clothes.

All that was left was blood splattered on their necks and hands, reminding them that they had just killed their comrades.

Tong Jun came back to his senses, stretched out his hand, stroked Ma Yue's eyes, and wanted to close them for him.

"Let's go." The companion said to him, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Just as soon as the switch on the ground was turned, a large net fell head-on, covering their heads and faces.

"I caught it!" The servant became excited and called the people around him, "Go and tell the second master and wife!"

Only then did they realize that the guard's departure was just for them to see.

Lu Xiaowen and He Shaoguang hurried over, feeling excited.

It's not enough to catch a horse, but if the Xiao family sent someone to silence them later, it would be blatantly guilty.

"Search." Lu Xiaowen signaled his servants to search them.

"This net for catching sparrows is just the right size."

He Shaoguang gestured viciously at the back: "It's a pity that they broke through. This year, Xiashou still wants to go to Zhuangzi to catch sparrows."

The servant on one side laughed and said: "Madam, there are many such nets in our house, you have as many as you want."

Lu Xiaowen squatted down, feeling very good: "Want to go to Zhuangzi in summer?"

He Shaoguang nodded vigorously: "To avoid the heat."

Lu Xiaowen has other concerns in her heart, thinking that there is nothing interesting in that village, so she will be pleasantly surprised then.
