Chapter 2: King Qi worshipped

"Is this for me?" Niu Niu pulled out the sword made of the Gasha meteor iron from the horse bag and asked in surprise.

This is actually a short sword with a blade of one foot and two, and a handle of three inches long. It is neither light nor heavy. It is very suitable for girls to use. Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Pick it out and take a look!"

Niu Niu slowly pulled out the short sword from the sheath, and saw the cold light shining and extremely sharp. She gently stroked the Han Blade and felt the unique coldness of the sword body material. She suddenly shouted and waved the sword to chop the hoe beside her. With a "crack!", the wooden handle as thick as a wrist broke out.

"Do you like it?" Yang Yuanqing could feel the joy in Niu Niu's heart.

"Um!"

Niu Niu was extremely happy. The sword made her love so much that she could not put it down. She immediately tied the sword around her waist and asked with a smile: "What other gifts are there?"

"There is also a horse bag and a pair of soft-soled leather boots, all made of the best ice-row deer skin, which can't be bought in Beijing."

Niu Niu didn't find the leather boots and horse bags, but she turned out the Arctic white fox fur. Her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Brother Yuanqing, is this for me?"

"You greedy ghost!"

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and knocked on her head, "That's for my aunt, and there is also a pair of bracelets for my aunt. You only have horse bags and leather boots, and nothing else."

However, Niu Niu surrounded her fox fur around her neck, found the small leather bag for the bracelet, took out the pair of emerald bracelets, carefully measured it for a while, and carried it on her wrist without hesitation. She quickly walked into the main room, stood up in front of the bronze mirror and shook it left and right, smiling as if a water lily bloomed on her face.

"It's all my fault, I like all these."

Yang Yuanqing saw the white fox fur surrounding her neck, which made her look extremely beautiful, and she also had the beauty of clouds in her hair and snow in her cheeks, which made him amazed.

"I'll give this fox fur to my aunt. She is afraid of the cold in winter. I'll get one for you in the future. If you are interested, I'll take you to Yinshan to hunt a fire fur."

"Then we will make a decision. Take me to hunt in Yinshan!" Niu Niu's eyes were as bright as gems, autumn water was like waves, with endless expectations.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "As long as my aunt agrees, I will take you to the outside world."

Niu Niu jumped up with joy, "As long as you take me, I will have no problem at all!"

She took off the white fox fur and bracelet, tilted her head and thought, "It's better to give this white fox fur to my grandmother and the bracelet to my mother. Even if you respect me, will you think this be fine?"

"You can give this to her, as long as my aunt is happy with you, I have no objection."

Niu Niu was as careful as her hair. She felt a little unhappy in Yuan Qing's heart, so she felt that it was necessary to tell his grandmother the importance.

She raised her head and looked at Yuan Qing's eyes and said sincerely: "Brother Yuan Qing, you don't know how my grandmother's help us. Four years ago, we went back to the Shen family in Jiangnan to meet a large group of ungrateful wolves. Or they had to take over the house and fertile land left to us by my grandfather. It happened that my grandmother returned to the Shen family. She summoned the family members and scolded them fiercely. They had to return the land of the house to us so that we could survive. At that time, we didn't even have a penny on our body and my mother's arm had not been cured. Later, my grandmother took care of us. Even if I went to Hengshan to learn martial arts, it was her arrangement. Brother Yuan Qing, I have regarded her as my grandmother."

Nuoniu's words also moved Yuan Qing. He nodded, "I'll give the fox fur to my aunt, and I'll hunt one for my aunt with my own hands."

At this time, Yuan Qing remembered something and asked quickly: "Niu Niu, where do you live?"

"My aunt and I live in Wanchun Tea House, the city. She adopted it as an orphan. You can go there to find me. I will stay in the capital for a while."

Niu Niu smiled and asked him, "Brother Yuanqing, where do you live? You won't still live in Yang's Mansion!"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I lived here a few days ago, but today I am going to move. I have a house in Guangfufang. I originally planned to let you and your aunt live there. I have been cleaning up these two days and the day after tomorrow. You and your aunt will move in."

Seeing that Yuan Qing was considerate for her and her mother in everything, Niu Niu felt happy and moved in her heart. She lowered her head and whispered: "Brother Yuan Qing, thank you!"

Yuan Qing grabbed her pigtail and smiled, "It's all a family, why are you thanking me?"

He saw that the long skirt that Niu Niu was wearing was a bit old, and the hairpin on his head was the double phoenix copper hairpin he bought for her on Yuan Ye back then. It doesn’t matter if he wore old clothes himself, but Niu Niu would make him feel a little distressed, so he smiled and said, “Niu Niu, do you have time today?”

"Yes, I have!"

Niu Niu blinked her beautiful eyes that were as affectionate as autumn water, and asked with a smile like a flower, "Are you going to take me where to play?"

Yuan Qing pinched the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "I'll take you to buy sugar porridge!"

He pulled her hand and said, "Go! Come with me to withdraw money first."

"Brother Yuanqing, where can I get the money?"

"Go to the palace, the emperor still owe me five hundred taels of gold!" Yuan Qing pulled her and ran towards the west courtyard gate.

Yang Yuanqing took Niu Niu out of Yang's mansion. He asked Niu Niu to wait a moment and to lead the horse to the horse. When he led the horse out to the west gate, he found that there was another person, and a man riding a horse was talking to Niu Niu.

This man is about twenty-four or five years old, tall and tall, with a red beard and a red beard. He seemed to be asking Niu Niu to follow him, but Niu Niu refused.

Yang Yuanqing suddenly recognized this person and had seen him at the Gongtu Post Station. The four personal guards of King Yang Hung of Qi, whose blushed beard left a very deep impression on Yang Yuanqing.

"Niu Niu, who is he?" Yang Yuanqingqian immediately asked.

"Brother Yuanqing, this is my senior brother, and his surname is Zhang. You can call him Zhang San!" Niu Niu introduced to him with a smile.

Yang Yuanqing bowed his hand and smiled faintly, "It turns out that it is Zhang Gongfeng, I have long admired him!"

The man's body trembled slightly, his eyes shot sharply at Yang Yuanqing, but soon, his eyes softened and he bowed and smiled: "Where! Where! The flying general of Yinshan is something that people have long admired."

"What are you talking about?" Niu Niu asked with confusion.

The man smiled, "Junior sister, General Yang and I have met him. General Yang is a famous general in the frontier, known as the Yinshan Flying General. Last night, he competed with Turks and Goguryeo. He was personally awarded the world's number one arrow by the emperor's imperial mouth. Now he is the number one person in the capital."

"Where is the eldest brother? What kind of offering did you make?" Niu Niu looked at him with great vigilance.

"It's just an errand, it was arranged by Uncle Chen for me."

The man smiled faintly and changed the topic, "Junior sister, are you going back with me?"

Niu Niu shook her head, "I'm with Brother Yuanqing, you can go back by yourself!"

"Okay! See you back."

The man clasped his fists at Yang Yuanqing, "Brother Yang, I have the opportunity to ask you for advice!"

"It's okay, I'll be with you at any time!"

Yang Yuanqing also bowed his hand with his fists. The man turned his horse's head away. Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on the longbow that the man hung on the saddle, which was almost the same as his own, at least three stone bows, and the pot of arrows and the finest wild duck feathers, which were neatly trimmed, making him think everything.

"Brother Yuanqing, let's go!" Niu Niu said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!" Yang Yuanqing was a little absent-minded, turned over and left, and was still thinking about the wild duck's feather's arrow feather.

"Brother Yuanqing!"

Niu Niu was so angry that she stomped her feet, "Did you let me run with you?"

Yang Yuanqing reacted only then. He scratched his head and apologized: "I'm distracted!"

He turned over and dismounted, looked around, and saw a ox cart parked at the corner of the street not far away, so he waved his hand from afar. Soon, the ox cart slowly stepped forward, and the old man who drove the ox cart smiled and said, "Young Master, do you want to take the car?"

Generally, there are carriages or horses for rent in the residence. It is not common for people who encounter ox carts on the streets. They are lucky. Niu Niu saw that the ox carts were quite clean, so she got in.

The old man also got on the ox cart and raised his whip. The ox cart slowly walked, "Young Master, where are we going?"

Yang Yuanqing turned over and ordered: "Go to Zhuque Gate!"

"Brother Yuanqing, where did you see my senior brother?" Niu Niu opened the small window of the ox cart and asked.

“It’s at a station.”

Yang Yuanqing's expression was a little unnatural. After a moment of pause, he couldn't help asking: "Niu Niu, what's your senior brother's name? Where is it?"

"His name is Zhang Zhongjian, from Yangzhou."

"Then have you been with him yesterday?" Yang Yuanqing asked as if nothing had happened.

"No! How could I be with him all the time?"

Niu Niu glanced at him again, "Brother Yuanqing, what are you asking about this?"

"Nothing, just ask casually."

Niu Niu looked at the expression on his face again. She was extremely sensitive in her heart. She already felt that Yang Yuanqing was unnatural. It was since her senior brother appeared, and he seemed a little lost. She bit her lips gently and whispered: "Brother Yuanqing, don't think too much. My senior brother is actually one of my clan brothers!"

This sentence made Yuan Qing's heart jump. What did Niu Niu mean? He turned around and looked at Niu Niu, but saw her face flushed, her eyes dodged, and lowered her head and pulled up the car window.

For some reason, Yang Yuanqing suddenly felt enlightened, as if a heavy stone was kicked away from his heart.

He also laughed, "Niu Niu, do you still remember? I said I wanted to buy you a golden hairpin."

"Why don't you remember!"

Niu Niu's complaining voice came from the carriage, "As a result, you bought me a copper hairpin. I have worn it for seven years. Today you must exchange me a golden hairpin."

Yang Yuanqing laughed and said, "No problem! I will buy you a hundred golden hairpins today."
