long live the queen

Chapter 24

After Li Zhuo became quite alert, Wei Yunqing was unable to take Yang Yi to learn how to ride a horse with her.

Fortunately, Wei Yunqing didn't expect to succeed this time after a series of failed escapes, so he let Yang Yi stay and went with Li Zhuo himself.In terms of riding, she naturally doesn't hide anything like archery, she is a pure novice.

Although riding in a relatively large area, Wei Yunqing was far from being able to gallop a horse. In the end, he came to the martial arts field where he was archery. Li Zhuo led a horse that was obviously shorter than the other horses, and let Wei Yunqing Take the reins and walk around the field a few times to build familiarity with the horse.

Wei Yunqing was obedient.This horse is probably a mare, small in size and quite docile, and it didn't resist being led by Wei Yunqing at all.As she walked, she looked back at it from time to time, occasionally came to touch its head, and whispered to it in a low voice.

What are "we will be good partners from now on, we need to help each other", "I am afraid of pain, don't throw me when I practice later" and so on.

When Wei Yunqing officially got started, nothing she was worried about happened.The horse she was riding was a mare that couldn't be more docile. After Li Zhuo taught her simple horse riding skills and let her run around the field after many attempts, she found sadly that the speed of this horse... It's really slow.Just like being afraid of running fast, the horse runs a little faster than it walks.

Looking at Li Zhuo who was smiling and smiling not far away, Wei Yunqing had reason to believe that he did it on purpose, nominally to teach him how to ride a horse, but in fact?This mare is like the kind that is prepared for tourists to take pictures in amusement parks. It doesn't look like a horse when it runs, so why let her practice riding skills!
Wei Yunqing was depressed in her heart, but she was a novice, so she didn't want to become a big fat man in one go, so let's ride this mare well first, and let's talk about the rest later.

Wei Yunqing has always been serious about things, and her athletic ability is not weak. Riding a horse is not a problem for her. She has gained something after practicing for a while, but it is inevitable. It hurt a little, so she had to rest temporarily.

"Yun Qing, you must have learned how to ride a horse before, right?" Li Zhuo said with a smile.He still remembered being teased by Wei Yunqing about archery.

Wei Yunqing looked surprised: "Master Li, why do you say that? If I have learned it, how can I ask you to teach me? I am a novice, and today is my first time riding a horse!"

What Wei Yunqing said was the truth, but Li Zhuo obviously didn't believe it.In this era, women are only men's vassals. Those who are physically strong are mostly low-level working women, but the beauty of being weak is popular. A daughter of a merchant family like her should not be physically strong, and she shouldn't learn so quickly. It has to be in style.Therefore, Wei Yunqing's performance naturally made Li Zhuo suspicious.

"What happened in the morning..." Li Zhuo laughed.

As a person who exercises regularly and has time-traveled in real life, Wei Yunqing naturally knows that her physical fitness is very good. Faced with Li Zhuo's doubts and the after-morning settlement of the matter of archery in the morning, she showed a kind of calmness and pride.

"Master Li, I told you a long time ago, don't underestimate me. Apart from sword skills, archery and horse riding, I am obviously very talented."

"Oh, that's right." Li Zhuo wouldn't believe her words, but he didn't say anything more.

When Wei Yunqing returned to the residence, Yang Yi was quite anxious. He was relieved when he saw her come back, and then he glared at Li Zhuo who was at the side.

On the other hand, Li Zhuo looked calm and composed, as if he didn't receive the hatred in Yang Yi's eyes at all.

After dinner, Li Zhuo finally had something to do and was called away. Wei Yunqing and Yang Yi were watched by his personal soldiers and couldn't get out, so they had to eat in the yard.

The two walked for a while, then slowly went to Wei Yunqing's room.Outside, there were guards listening. It was difficult for her to talk to Yang Yi, but as soon as she entered the room, she immediately asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

Yang Yi froze for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes!"

After all, he wants to bring someone to drive himself, what does it look like if he doesn't know how to ride a horse?In the past, he also often hunted. Although his archery skills were very average, his horseback riding was still passable.But in front of Wei Yunqing, he didn't want to be beaten by Li Zhuo, so he immediately added after a reply: "My riding skills are very good!"

"That's good." Wei Yunqing didn't ask too much, as long as Yang Yi could ride a horse, the problem would be much easier.

After thinking about it, there is nothing to tell Yang Yi, Wei Yunqing is ready to drive away: "Then you go back and rest first. We will wait for a few days."

In the end, Yang Yi didn't want to leave, but he couldn't tell why, he just sat on the stool for a long time and didn't move his nest for a long time.

Wei Yunqing wondered: "What else?"

Yang Yi lowered his head, feeling a little anxious, but he couldn't say that kind of words.

Seeing this, Wei Yunqing immediately became a little impatient: "What's the matter?"

Yang Yi was silent for a while, then looked up at Wei Yunqing as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Sister Yunqing...you have been wronged..."

Wronged?

Wei Yunqing vaguely recalled this statement from Yang Yi before, when they were tricked by Li Zhuo into fleeing from Fu Ya Wai Street, but she was about to ask at that time, but she was interrupted by Li Zhuo chasing after her. She didn't think about it, and she didn't have a chance to ask. Now that Yang Yi mentioned it again, she took advantage of the situation and asked, "What is the grievance?"

She felt that she didn't seem to have suffered any grievances worthy of Yang Yi's sadness, right?Looking at him like this, it's just like a concubine...

"It was last night..."

Yang Yi hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to speak out, but unfortunately, he had just started when someone knocked on the door, and then Li Zhuo's voice came from outside the door: "Yun Qing?"

Wei Yunqing's originally relaxed expression immediately changed. She didn't want to open the door, but the door was unlocked, and this was Li Zhuo's place. He would be polite to her when he knocked on the door, so she should obediently go and open the door.

Unexpectedly, just as Wei Yunqing got up to walk over, Yang Yi rushed to the door at some point, blocking the door with his body to prevent her from opening.

At this time Li Zhuo was outside the door, Yang Yi finally became smarter and didn't speak, but expressed his determination not to let Li Zhuo in with his actions.

Seeing Yang Yi's appearance as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Wei Yunqing thought he was afraid of Li Zhuo, so he comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry."

But how could Yang Yi not be worried?He had already imagined that Li Zhuo would drive him away after he came in, then close the door, and then...he couldn't think about it anymore!
He shook his head desperately.

For the timidity shown by Yang Yi, Wei Yunqing was also helpless.After all, he is the emperor of Daliang. Others don't know his true identity, and he has no intention of killing him. How can he be afraid of such a virtue?It's really embarrassing for Daliang!Fortunately, no one except her knew that he was a majestic emperor, otherwise it would have been a joke.

"Ayi, what's the use of you blocking it like this? This is his territory, he can enter wherever he wants, who can stop him? Get out of the way." Wei Yunqing seriously explained the truth to Yang Yi.

But Yang Yi didn't listen at all!His mind was already filled with various disharmonious images, he just stood stiffly at the door, hoping that he could block Li Zhuo from coming in.

As a result, Li Zhuo yelled a few more times outside, already a little impatient, he kicked in directly, and Yang Yi, who happened to be blocking the door, jumped forward and fell like a shit.

"Ayi!" Wei Yunqing hurried over to help him up.

Li Zhuo originally thought that the two of them had some other idea to escape, but after scanning the room, he understood the general idea. He glanced at Yang Yi with a half-smile, and said leisurely: "I thought you escaped." Woolen cloth."

However, Wei Yunqing helped Yang Yi to sit on the stool before looking at Li Zhuo: "Master Li, you are really joking. The guards here are so strict, and we don't know how to go to heaven and earth, so how can we escape? "

"That's true." Li Zhuo nodded in agreement, and didn't mention anything about kicking Yang Yi just now.

Yang Yi was hurt when he fell just now, but he was not injured, but his body was not injured, but his self-esteem was completely hurt.After finally understanding the reason why people have to bow their heads under the eaves, they resisted the idea of ​​jumping up and beating Li Zhuo.

"Master Li, what are you doing here so late? I'm very tired today, and I'm just about to rest." Of course, Wei Yunqing didn't welcome Li Zhuo, and directly issued an order to evict him.

Li Zhuo actually just came to see her to make sure that she was still there so he could feel at ease. Seeing that she was indeed tired, he didn't linger any longer: "Then you can rest well. Do you want to continue learning how to ride a horse tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Wei Yunqing replied decisively.

She turned her head and glanced at Yang Yi, but he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. She pushed him and said, "A Yi, you should go back and rest."

Yang Yi stood up silently, but Li Zhuo had already exited the room at this moment.Fortunately, Wei Yunqing didn't lock the door at all before, and Li Zhuo didn't break the door latch with such a kick. After the two of them went out, she locked the door and went back to sleep.

"Brother Wei." Li Zhuo stopped Yang Yi before he left.

Yang Yi looked back at Li Zhuo, his eyes had revealed his hatred for Li Zhuo.

Li Zhuo laughed it off, but the next moment he said with a serious face: "You have the same surname as Yun Qing, if you are interested in her, it is a violation of ethics, not to mention, you are much younger than her."

Although he didn't care about Yang Yi's threats, Wei Yunqing was not wary of Yang Yi, and Yang Yi always approached her. Li Zhuo found it very annoying, and he felt that he really needed to mention this little brother. Mention.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yi was not only not angry when he heard this, but showed a dazed and dull look.

Li Zhuo waited for a while but didn't see his reaction, and thought that he was dumb and couldn't speak, so he felt a little bored, so he turned and left.What Wei Yunqing said is correct, this small courtyard and even the whole Xuancheng is his place, where can these two people escape?So he didn't care where Yang Yi went after he left.

Yang Yi returned to his own room in a daze.

Li Zhuo's question made him suddenly aware of something.Before Wei Yunqing, he only had some very vague thoughts in his mind. He thought she was good, he felt that he was lucky to meet her, he felt that it was a blessing from heaven to be able to win her favor, and he also felt that she was taken advantage of by Li Zhuo, so angry that he wanted to Murder, I don't want her to be bullied by others...

But now that he was reminded by Li Zhuo, he found that subconsciously, he actually had thoughts about this fairy sister who he knew was unattainable.But at the same time, he is also very clear that Sister Yunqing just came down to the earth to practice, and sooner or later she will go back to the sky. She is a fairy in the sky, so how could she commit herself to the mortals in the lower realm?
That night, the little emperor Yang Yi tossed and turned and did not sleep well.

Wei Yunqing next door had a good night's dream.

But when she woke up the next day, the side effects of the previous day's exercise appeared on her body. The muscle soreness was a trivial matter, but the inner thigh was so painful that she could hardly walk.

This is the downside of being too aggressive!
Even though he sighed, Wei Yunqing didn't propose to take a rest, but followed Li Zhuo to practice horse riding as usual.Li Zhuo seemed to be doing nothing now, but after all, this place was still within the scope of the battlefield, right?In case something happens one day and messes up, that's the chance for her and Yang Yi to escape!And before the opportunity comes, she must be ready!

Yang Yi was still locked in the small courtyard and was not allowed to go out. Wei Yunqing followed Li Zhuo to the martial arts arena, and it was still the docile mare.She didn't care, she practiced first.

In such a peaceful day, five days passed.

During these five days, Wei Yunqing concentrated on learning how to ride a horse, and Li Zhuo also concentrated on accompanying her, but she could tell that he didn't really want her to practice well.But that doesn't matter to Wei Yunqing, she has learned the basic skills and has enough time to practice, so why can't she figure it out by herself?She still has the ability to infer other cases from one instance.

In the past few days, Yang Yi's mood has not been high, whether he is facing Wei Yunqing or Li Zhuo, he looks sleepy and unable to cheer up.Wei Yunqing felt that he must have felt that there was no hope of escaping from being locked up here, and there was no other way but to comfort him every day, but the effect was minimal, and in the end she could only let him go.A person's psychological problems can only be adjusted by himself, and he still owes something by relying on external forces.

Another point of tacit understanding between Wei Yunqing and Li Zhuo is that no one mentioned the January agreement.

On Wei Yunqing's side, it was because she used the one-month agreement in advance for archery. Although she succeeded by surprise, she couldn't stand Li Zhuo Laipi, and was eventually arrested again.After that, she brought up the old story again and said that archery was not counted before, and we will compare sword skills again. She believed that Li Zhuo would continue to lose his skin, so she didn't mention it at all.Anyway, he hasn't done anything to her these past few days. Her virginity is not in danger, so just wait until the turning point comes.

For Li Zhuo, the girl Wei Yunqing is already in his pocket, and when the battle situation is almost stable, he will definitely bring her back. The January appointment is just a joke, so naturally I won't mention it anymore.As for teaching her how to ride a horse, he naturally had some reservations, and it was just to pass the time with her.

However, the turning point that Wei Yunqing wanted never came, and she gradually became a little anxious.Daliang couldn't really be so useless, he was so suppressed that he couldn't do anything about it, right?
Fortunately, Daliang did not disappoint Wei Yunqing to the end. On the seventh day of her learning to ride a horse, Li Zhuo received a secret report that was delivered quickly. She was present at the time. Although she couldn't see the content of the secret report, Li Zhuo was surprised with The smug look she caught.

"Yunqing, I'm going to leave for a few days, wait for me to come back!" Li Zhuo took the Talang brought by the soldiers for him, got on the horse neatly, and rode away directly.

Here Wei Yunqing was excited, no matter what news Li Zhuo received, her chance finally came!

Unexpectedly, Li Zhuo suddenly turned his horse's head and rushed back. Talang is indeed a good horse, and stopped in front of the mare that Wei Yunqing was riding, but Li Zhuo on the horse was not at all unstable, and directly reached out to grab Wei Yunqing's waist Pulling her towards him, he quickly kissed her on the lips in front of many people.

"Don't run away." He gave a low laugh, then let go of her, and galloped away in high spirits.

Wei Yunqing almost fell off the horse, and his face couldn't help turning red.She felt that the name of the horse she gave her was indeed correct. Ma Treadang called him a wolf, it really was a satyr, this place is ancient times, it is too shameless for him to kiss her in front of so many people!
She got off the horse tremblingly, and at this moment she still had lingering fears—in fact, compared to being kissed, what frightened her even more was that she almost thought that Li Zhuo would take her with him when he went to the battlefield!

Since he left her in Xuancheng, it's not good for her to disappoint him!

After Li Zhuo left, he took some of his own soldiers with him, but he also kept some of them, just because he was afraid that Wei Yunqing would run away.Wei Yunqing didn't know why he had received a secret report and ran so fast, but judging from his elated appearance, it shouldn't be that he won the battle at the front line, so wouldn't he have no chance to play?
After all, he is still a young man, so he definitely doesn't want to just return to court in such a comfortable way!So, maybe there was something wrong with the battle ahead, and he was called over urgently. That's why he was so happy, he was going to do a big job!

Wei Yunqing felt a little relieved that Daliang still has capable people, so for her, her well-off life in the future will be more guaranteed.

Li Zhuo left behind a total of four soldiers, they obviously got Li Zhuo's order, and after he left, they politely invited Wei Yunqing to go back to the small courtyard.It can be seen that Li Zhuo is really on guard against her, once he leaves, he won't give her the space to move freely.

Naturally, Wei Yunqing didn't argue with them, and obediently went back to the courtyard.

Li Zhuo went to the battlefield to fight, and she definitely wouldn't be able to come back in a short time. She had a lot of time to escape, and the important thing was to ensure that she could escape once, otherwise they would definitely be stricter in the future.

The guards were guarding outside the yard, and they seemed to be changing guards in groups of two, otherwise it would be impossible to watch Wei Yunqing day and night.Although this is a government office, after being taken over by Li Zhuo, his own soldiers were doing the main work. Many of the servants of the original government office were driven back home, and only some menial tasks were left.

As soon as Wei Yunqing returned to the small courtyard, he took Yang Yi back to the room and informed him of the current situation.

As soon as Yang Yi heard that there was a chance to escape, his depressed mood for the past few days was swept away, and he just waited for Wei Yunqing to make up his mind.Wei Yunqing didn't want to act so quickly, things have to be done slowly.But she can't wait indefinitely. She still remembers that Daliang didn't know that the little emperor Yang Yi was still alive. She had to take Yang Yi to Jinyang as soon as possible, and pass the news that Yang Yi was still alive back to the Daliang court as soon as possible. Otherwise, when they establish a new emperor, the problem will become serious.

In the next two days, Wei Yunqing seemed to be okay, and lived a leisurely life with Yang Yi. She tried to get out of the yard, but the two guards didn't allow her to go out even a single step.The daily food is still very good, and it is delivered by someone.

She also tried to chat with the soldiers watching at the door, but maybe it was Li Zhuo's order, they didn't intend to chat with her, even if they responded to her words, they tried to ignore her as much as possible, maybe because they were afraid of being caught by her. Take it to the ditch.This made Wei Yunqing a little discouraged. She thinks her eloquence is not bad, but if others don't talk to her at all, how can she use it?

Fortunately, Wei Yunqing didn't intend to bribe these soldiers to let her go. After all, they were Li Zhuo's soldiers, so how could she let them go by being bribed so easily?

But after two days of idleness, Wei Yunqing finally had an idea of ​​running away.After discussing with Yang Yi, the two slept in the afternoon and acted that night.

The two guards were guarding the gate of the courtyard and chatting, the content was about how much merit Li Zhuo could make this time, and their envy for the guards who followed him.Being able to go to the battlefield has the opportunity to make meritorious service, and meritorious deeds also means being promoted to the ranks. Unlike them, they have to look at this sibling who is helpless.

Although under Li Zhuo's strict order, they did not dare to disobey his order, but they looked down on Wei Yunqing and Yang Yi after all, and did not think that these two people could cause any trouble.

At this moment, the room where Wei Yunqing lived in the courtyard suddenly burst into flames.

"It's out of the water!" One of the soldiers had sharp eyes and immediately yelled when he saw the situation. Of course he knew who lived in that room.

Seeing that something was wrong, the two soldiers immediately prepared to rush into the room, but the door was locked and they couldn't open it at all.This is also normal, Wei Yunqing is a woman after all, there is nothing wrong with locking the door while sleeping.

But at this moment, facing the situation that there were people in the room and the room was on fire, the two soldiers didn't care about the defense of men and women. They kicked open the door of her room with brute force, one by one.

It was Wei Yunqing's bed that caught fire.The whole bed was made of wood, and under the ignited quilt, the fire was very powerful.

The two guards were startled and rushed over to take a look. The fire was huge, but they could barely see clearly that there was no one in the fire.

"No, she ran away!" One person exclaimed.

"Quick! You go and get someone to put out the fire, and I'll get someone to arrest him!" The other person also came to his senses, and the two rushed out.

Not long after the two of them left, amidst the crackling sound, a person came out from the corner, it was Wei Yunqing who was hiding.
