All-Rounded Strategy Game

Chapter 117: Duplicity

As spring passes and autumn comes, four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Qinghe Hall, a vigorous and flexible figure like a wandering dragon danced a sword in the courtyard, and as he moved one by one, the sharp sword energy struck the air and made a sound of contention.

During the peach blossom season in March, the peach blossoms planted in the yard are in full bloom, and a lot of pink petals fall when the wind blows.

The figure of the young man practicing sword, accompanied by the falling petals, formed an unusually dazzling landscape. In the direction that his sword drew, a piece of falling petals split into two, rotating and falling to the ground.

He took a sword flower in his hand, picked up one of the peach blossoms in the air with the tip of the sword, and turned around and sent it to the man in the wheelchair. He smiled and said: "Your Highness, give it to you."

The peach blossoms in front of me are fragrant and beautiful, but the young man holding the sword is not too generous.

He is dressed in white and simple shorts, his black hair is randomly tied high, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and a smile on the corners of his lips gives him a gentle and moist temperament.

Xiao Qiheng's gaze fell on his face.

In four years, this little **** is no longer thin and thin. Over the years, he has practiced swords with Zhao Qing. His figure has been raised a lot, and the childishness on his face has faded. He has become a man with outstanding appearance and good temperament. juvenile.

The point is that this little **** looks less and less like a eunuch, and people who don't know think it is the little son of a big family.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Li blinked at him.

Xiao Qiheng's gaze moved to the peach blossom, and he stretched out his hand to move the sword away: "Who taught you to use a sword against the lonely? The courage is getting bigger and bigger."

Even though he said that, there was no sign of anger. Jiang Li smiled, and when he closed his wrist, he retracted the sword, holding the peach blossom in his palm and sending it to the other party again: "Is this all right?"

Xiao Qiheng didn't even look at him, turned his wheelchair back to the main hall, and left a faint sentence: "It's useless to send flowers. Today's course has not been completed yet. Continue in the afternoon."

Jiang Li looked at his back, with five fingers and one hand, holding the peach blossom in his palm, shook his head and sighed, "It's really a headache."

In the past four years, he has never stopped studying one day, and his beloved Prince can always find something to enrich himself.

Taking the sword back into the scabbard, Jiang Li wiped his sweat, went back to take a bath, changed back to the eunuch's palace clothes, and then went to the main hall to find Xiao Qiheng.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, I heard the sound of the piano in the hall. Jiang Li walked in quickly and saw Xiao Qiheng sitting at the piano table, plucking the strings of the "Phoenix Tail" with one hand. , The posture is leisurely, looks like a good mood.

Xiao Qiheng heard the footsteps, turned his head to see him approaching, retracted his hand on the strings, turned the wheelchair to the side, and then lifted his chin to signal him to sit down.

From the first contact with the guqin, Jiang Li has been learning the piano for four years. He sat down on the chair in front of the piano table, stroked the strings with both hands, and then played the song "Hua Jian Sigh".

This is a small piece by a folk musician, sighing the beauty of the world, and the style is melodious and light, which makes people feel relaxed.

Xiao Qiheng sat aside, his eyes half-squinted, and the index finger placed on the armrest lightly tapped in accordance with his rhythm. After he finished the song, he raised his eyes to look at him and said, "Yes."

Jiang Li smiled when he heard the words, and put his elbows on the tabletop: "His Royal Highness taught well."

It's not a day or two for his greasy tongue. The two of them have been immunized for four years. Xiao Qiheng has long been immunized, and is planning to let him play another song. There are footsteps outside, and Zhao Qing walks in as soon as he turns around.

Seeing Zhao Qing, Jiang Li called out to the other party: "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Qingchao nodded, and then said to Xiao Qiheng: "His Royal Highness, just received the news, Xiao Hou Ye has returned to Beijing."

The little Hou Ye in his mouth is Zheng Yu, Xiao Qiheng’s young playmate. Five years ago, because of a dispute with Old Hou Ye, he joined the army in one fell swoop and ran to the place where birds don’t **** at Xiyang Pass. The soldiers stationed at the gate guarded the gate together for five years and never returned to Beijing.

A month ago, when foreign enemies came in at the Xiyang Pass, Zheng Yu led the generals and soldiers to fight the enemy, and spent half a month repulsing the enemy.

In order to boost morale, the Emperor Yuan decreed that Zheng Yu and Guanzhong would return to Beijing and be sealed.

Xiao Qiheng nodded: "I see."

Just after he finished speaking, a dissatisfied young male voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness, I said you are too unconscionable! Why are you not excited about my return?"

The three followed their reputations and saw a man about 30 years old stepping into the hall. He was dressed in armor, his complexion was a healthy wheat color, and his face was handsome and a little bit stubborn.

When Zhao Qing saw the other party, he bowed his hands and bowed his hands: "Zhao Qing has seen Master Xiaohou!"

Although it was the first time Jiang Li saw Zheng Yu, he had waited by Xiao Qiheng's side for so long, and knew that the other party was Xiao Qiheng's friend, so he got up from the chair and respectfully saluted: "Jiang Li has seen Xiaohouye. "

Zheng Yu knew Zhao Qing, but it was the first time Jiang Li saw him. It was the first time he saw him, but he was dressed in the eunuch's palace clothes. He was sitting at the piano table just now. It was strange: "Huh, who are you?"

"The servant is the close servant of His Royal Highness." Jiang Li replied.

"Oh." Zheng Yu just asked casually, and didn't care who he was. When he answered, he turned to Xiao Qiheng, who was indifferent to his sudden appearance: "Hey, I said you are a person. I haven’t seen each other in the year. How about you respond when you see me come back! I came here after seeing the emperor, and didn’t even return home."

"What's your reaction?" Xiao Qiheng looked at him, "Do you need me to stand up to greet you?"

"That's not necessary." Zheng Yu waved his hand, then took a stool and sat down opposite him, "But why are you not surprised to see me appear?"

Xiao Qiheng stroked his cuffs and said faintly, "As expected."

Although Zheng Yu came back from outside the pass, he did not reconcile with Old Hou Ye. Since he did not want to return to the Hou Mansion, he must have come to himself.

"You know me." Zheng Yu laughed, took the tea that Jiang Li handed over, blew it twice at random, and then gushed it out. He had eaten a pot of rice with the soldiers in the army these years and had a very good life. It's rough, and it doesn't have the habit of tasting tea carefully before.

Jiang Li stood aside and observed Zheng Yu carefully. Although the other person's appearance was unfamiliar, he felt that he was Qiao Yu for convenience.

From Shen Yuzhi to Feng Yu to Qiao Yu, and now Zheng Yu.

"Little cute, did I guess wrong?" Jiang Li asked in his heart.

"Don't say it," the system replied.

Jiang Li didn't have to be sure of this conjecture, so he didn't ask further, and stood by and waited.

"By the way, I haven't been here for a few years. You don't feel the same here. Even fruit trees are planted." Zheng Yu said. When he came in just now, he found a lot of fruit trees and peach blossoms in the yard, and he left. At that time, the deserted look was quite different.

The fruit trees and peach blossoms were all planted by Jiang Li. He also planted grapes in the partial courtyard, but Zheng Yu didn't see it because he didn't pass there.

"Are you here specifically to talk nonsense?" Xiao Qiheng asked.

"I don't like to listen to you." Zheng Yu said unwillingly. "Brother, I came here to see you. You should be grateful to me. By the way, how are your legs?"

He said that he was bent over and wanted to see Xiao Qiheng's legs. Xiao Qiheng turned the wheelchair back a bit, avoiding his hands: "Don't use your hands or feet."

Over the years, under Jiang Li’s conditioning, his legs have improved a lot. Even if he still can’t walk normally, the muscle atrophy has disappeared. From the appearance, it looks no different from a normal person’s legs, but even so. , He still doesn't like others touching his legs.

Of course, except Jiang Li.

"I'm caring about you, okay?" Zheng Yu said silently, but no longer insisted when he rejected him, turned his head and said to Jiang Li, "That...what's your name?"

Jiang Li replied: "Minion Jiang Li."

"Jiang Li, right? I remember." Zheng Yu nodded, touched his stomach, and ordered, "Go get me something to eat, I haven't eaten yet today."

Before Jiang Li answered, Xiao Qiheng said: "Go back to your Hou Mansion and eat."

Although Jiang Li's status as a servant, his status has been rising in the past four years. In the Qinghe Palace, no one except Xiao Qiheng can call him, not even Zhao Qing.

Therefore, Xiao Qiheng subconsciously felt unhappy when he heard Zheng Yu's decision to call him for granted.

Zheng Yu was inexplicable at what he said: "What happened to your meal? How much rice did I eat and I won't be able to return it to you tomorrow? It's only been a few years, so why are you so pretentious."

Zheng Yu didn't know where the problem was, but Zhao Qing did. He took the initiative to say, "Master Xiaohou, I'll let you prepare it for you. What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever, I'm not picky about food." Zheng Yu said. When he was in Xiyangguan, he ate big pot rice and big pot dishes, so he didn't have to choose.

"Minion go and prepare," Jiang Li said.

When Xiao Qiheng heard the words, he raised his head and glanced at him, his eyebrows frowned.

Jiang Li smiled at him: "His Royal Highness ate less at noon. He should be hungry now."

What he meant was that he was going to prepare food for Xiao Qiheng, and Zheng Yu was just taking the dip.

After the two have been together for many years, Xiao Qiheng naturally understood what he meant. He stretched his eyebrows and nodded.

After Jiang Li retreated, Zhao Qing stayed and waited.

Although Xiao Qiheng and Zheng Yu have not seen each other for many years, there should be endless conversations, but Zheng Yu was talking about two-thirds of the time. Xiao Qiheng occasionally responded twice, which reminded Zhao Qing of seeing Xiao Qiheng replying to each other before. The content of "has been read" only.

Really touching brotherhood. Zhao Qing thought.

Finally, when Zheng Yu was so dry, Jiang Li and Cui Ya delivered the food.

Since it was not time for dinner, Jiang Li didn't prepare much, just made a few home-cooked dishes and a noodle with meat sauce, as well as the old duck soup that started to be stewed on the stove at noon.

Over the years, Jiang Li has been responsible for Xiao Qiheng's meals, and Xiao Qiheng knows his craft well.

However, it was the first time Zheng Yu had eaten it. After eating rough food outside the Guan for so many years, his mouth was almost roughened. The first mouthful of noodles was shocked by the deliciousness of the noodles.

The noodles Q flicked vigorously, and as soon as he bit down, the broken noodles seemed to bounce in his mouth, extremely vigorous, with the fragrant meat sauce in his mouth, it made him feel an urge to cry.

After a meal, Zheng Yu, who has been tortured by large pot dishes outside Guanwai for several years, almost ate the sauce of the noodles. He looked at Jiang Li and said, "You made this?"

Jiang Li looked at him and couldn't help thinking of the scene where Qiao Yu tried to eat rice in the previous life, nodded and smiled: "Yes, thanks to Master Xiao Hou not disgusting."

"Don't hate it, don't hate it, it's **** delicious!!" Zheng Yu said, turning to look at Xiao Qiheng, "Brother, you little eunuch's noodles are so delicious, let me take it back to Hou's residence for a few days. Huh? I'm sure I'll be fat for you!"

Xiao Qiheng: "..."
