Chapter 3

The second day of the Naked Crowning Ceremony.

Fengxiu lazily lay on the tree watching naked practice archery, one, missed, and another, missed, "You can't do this." Fengxiu frowned, "The master said that the five classics and six arts will be tested in ten days, you This level of riding and archery is always good, and it is not a solution to practice any more."

Wuyi pursed the corners of his lips without saying a word, took another arrow, and hit the edge of the target with a "swish-bang".

Fengxiu shook her head and sighed, seeing the scorching sun in the sky, Wuyi's face turned pale, "I have an idea." Fengxiu said.

"What?" Wuyi looked up at him.

"Go to the army and look for Fuying and Chu Wushang. The two of them have been in the army for a few years, and this stuff is definitely no longer a problem." Fengxiu looked at Wuyi and smiled.

"You're just looking for an excuse to meet Fuying." Wuyi sneered.

"So what, tell me how many times have you seen Wu Wushang in the past two or three years? It's hard to believe that he followed you like a bug when you were young." Fengxiu snorted, "The last time I saw Fu Ying was when they were in the Chinese New Year. Take a day off."

Three years ago, when the army recruited soldiers, Chu Wushang went there without hesitation, Jidao Xuanjue gave Fu Ying a chance to sign up with a letter of recommendation from Xuanjue Jidao.Although Wu Wushang still has his identity, once he joined the army, he would start with the smallest things. Wuyi would only meet him once he returned home to visit the prime minister on New Year's Eve.

"Everyone has their own way. When we grow up, we can't stick together like we did when we were young." Wuyi snorted.

Fengxiu has already jumped off the tree, "Are you going? If you don't, I will!"

"Senior Brother Wuyi, Tai Gong said that if you really can't handle riding and shooting, you might as well go to the army to find Wu Wushang. He asked me to tell my brother that he will be able to give some advice." A child ran out of the yard, it was The youngest son Yuanbie who was brought back by Jidao Xuanjue back then.Now the entire Taixue is in charge of Jidao Xuanjue, and the title of Jidao Xuanjue has changed from Master to Taigong.

Fengxiu spread her hands, and looked at Wuyi with a look on her face.

Yuan Bie ran over and handed the letter in his hand to Wuyi, "Tai Gong said, handing this letter to the military officer will allow Chu Wushang and Fu Ying to take a few days off."

Fengxiu snatched the letter over and said with a smile: "Student, thank you Taigong!" He turned around and walked outside, shaking the letter in his hand while walking, "Wuyi, if you don't go, I will work with the army My son said that there is no need to let Chu Wushang leave, anyway, he has nothing to say when he is with the two of us."

"Stop! Let's go together!" Wuyi snorted and hurriedly followed.

Those in charge of the military didn't dare to embarrass the prime minister and the two young masters of Taichangqing's family. After reading the letter, they hurriedly sent someone to call Chu Wushang and Fu Ying, but when they arrived, Fengxiu and Wuyi were stunned. Seeing that their heads were covered with dust, the clothes under the armor on their bodies were torn in several places, Fu Ying's helmet was all off, and a few strands of sweaty hair were sticking to the sides of their faces.

"I've seen the general!" The two of them first glanced at Fengxiu and Wuyi when they entered the door, and then turned their heads to salute.

"The general ordered you two to take three days off starting tomorrow." The officer in charge said.

"Yes!" The two said in unison.Fuying peeked at Fengxiu, Fengxiu winked and smiled at him.

After the four people came out, Fu Ying asked with a smile, "Why are you two here?"

"It's not the exam in Taixue after ten days. If you are proficient in the six arts, we will not be able to pass the test of riding and archery." Fengxiu looked at him with a smile, "What's going on with you two? Are you fighting?"

"Practice, today we practiced duel, we happened to be in the same group, if you didn't come, I would have my head bald. Chu Wushang, next time, can you stop fighting like a hooligan and pull your hair! " Fu Ying snorted.

Chu Wushang gave him a cold look, "When you meet on the battlefield, there are all kinds of things. You have to practice for real."

"It's all right, I can't beat you anyway, you have the final say." Fuying rolled her eyes, then looked at Fengxiu again, "Master Taichangqing specially invited a teacher to teach you kung fu? What's wrong?"

"I can't do it." Wuyi blushed and glanced at Shu Wushang, "So... I'm begging you."

"Tsk, you two grew up wearing open crotch pants, please, don't you be so sour." Fu Ying couldn't help but said beside her, "Fengxiu, I have nothing to do with you, then the two of us..."

"Tonight's Lantern Festival in the east of the city, I brought money." Feng Xiu stretched out his hand and patted his waist, smiling at Fu Ying.

"You still understand me!" Fuying laughed, "Chu Wushang, teach me well, let's go!" He hooked Fengxiu's shoulder and dragged Fengxiu to turn around and leave.

Wuyi looked at Chu Wushang, "So..."

"You've already opened your mouth, so I'll let you learn it." Su Wushang watched the two walk away, then looked back at Wuyi, "Actually, you have something to do, send someone to me, and I can ask for leave."

"Thank you." Wuyi smiled.

……

Sitting in front of the wonton stand, Fengxiu watched Fu Ying pick up the bowl and eat it with a sigh of relief, then turned her head helplessly, "Boss, two more bowls."

"Two bowls are enough." Fu Ying put the empty bowl in her hand, and there were already five empty bowls stacked in front of him, "You don't know, the food in the army is terrible... I want to be a guy."

"Are you sure you don't want to go to Fumanyuan to eat something good? I brought enough money." Fengxiu looked at those broken bowls with a bit of disgust, "Is this so delicious?"

"My young master, this is already very rare for me." Fu Ying watched as the stall owner brought up two freshly cooked bowls, "Don't you really want to try it?"

"You eat first." Fengxiu shook her head with a smile, "By the way, after this exam, we don't have to take classes in Taixue, and my father asked me for the position of Taile Cheng."

"Then congratulations." Fu Ying nodded, "Tai Lecheng seems to be... the one who presides over the sacrificial dance, are you okay?"

"Small matter." Fengxiu smiled, "What are your plans?"

"There is a war in the Southwest, and I will go out with the army in ten days' time." Fu Ying said lightly, "Maybe I will be promoted if I make military achievements or something."

"What kind of official are you now?" Fengxiu asked.

"Ten Commander." Fu Ying replied, "Don't laugh, it's like this in the army. It's very rare to get promoted without military merits, but it's not as good as those of you who are recommended by someone."

"Where's Chu Wushang?" Feng Xiu asked again.

"Him? He was recommended by Prime Minister You, and he was a centurion when he came here." Fuying snorted, his eyes rolled suddenly, and he lowered his voice and said to Fengxiu, "Should we go and have a look?" How's your shirtless archery going?"

"Okay." Fengxiu nodded.

"There is a dim sum shop in front, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake auspicious fruit and walnut cake." Fu Ying stood up and said.

Fengxiu looked at the eight empty bowls in front of him, touched a silver coin and put it on the table, "The boss pays the bill!"

On the head of willows in the moonlight, the lamps were lit in the empty school grounds in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wuyi was shot by Wuyi. He saw Wuyi stood there and drew his bow. He walked over and took Wuyi's hand, "Your posture is wrong !" After several years in the military, he was half a head taller than Wuyi, so he took advantage of his height to easily wrap him in his arms, holding Wuyi's left hand holding the bow with one hand, and Wuyi's with the other. The right hand rests on the bowstring, "Hands must be steady, and the bow must be strong, let go!"

A bow and arrow stared straight at the red heart of the arrow target like a shooting star.

"Come again!" Shu Wushang didn't move, he stood beside Wuyi and whispered in his ear.

Two heads protruded from the roof, Fuying asked Fengxiu in a low voice, "Look at their posture, do you think there is something wrong?"

Fengxiu watched for a long time, from beginning to end, Chu Wushang didn't let go of his hand, "It's too close." He said.

Fu Ying took out an oiled paper bag beside him, opened it, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake exuded a tangy fragrance. "Do you think Wuyi can win No. 1 in Taixue this time?" Fuying asked as she handed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Fengxiu.

"Looking at his poor riding and shooting, it's hard to say." Fengxiu reached out to take a piece of pastry, "Besides, there's me." He winked at Fuying and smiled.

"Hurry up and put away your shameless behavior." Fuying rolled her eyes, "I bet Wuyi will surpass you."

"If I win, you will do something to me when you come back from the expedition." Fengxiu raised her eyebrows.

"It's a deal." Fuying said nonchalantly, "If I win, you will pay for my meals for a month."

"No problem." The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is soft and sweet, with a faint scent of moonlight. The summer night is very cool, with the wind blowing over the weeping willows.
