Qing Yao, who was chasing the princess, led the jujube red horse, covered in rain, with an anxious face, and walked around the woods for a long time, and finally found the princess Yu Zimo, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Princess. She exclaimed eagerly.

"Coming?" Yu Zimo stood in place and didn't look at Qing Yao, "Why is it so slow?" The voice was cold, making it impossible to hear her emotions.

"It's too dark in the woods, and it's not easy to find Changyue's footprints. Qing Yao only explained, looked at the princess in fear, and then looked at the behemoth that had fallen in front of the princess and had no breath, "I found it." The princess is amazing. ……”

"Before you say a compliment, you need to find out what is going on. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating. Yu Zimo's body did not move, and his voice was like flying snow in the harsh winter.

Qing Yao shuddered, not knowing if it was because of the rain on her body or the tone of the princess. She hurried over to the ground to see the brown bear lying on the ground.

Isn't that what the princess is doing in this adventure? Such a big fellow, even the best hunters have to work hard, and the princess has hunted so quickly. Naturally, she told the truth, why was the princess unhappy? Qing Yao wondered, waiting for her to see the feather arrow on the brown bear's left eye and chest. "Arrows? The princess never used arrows. "Could it be that there are other people in the woods? Qing Yao immediately became vigilant and looked around.

"Don't look at it, the people are gone. As he spoke, Yu Zimo's eyes were still staring at the brown bear on the ground.

"What about this brown bear?" asked Qing Yao hesitantly. There is often only one adult brown bear in a mountain forest, and it is impossible for the princess to fight again.

This princess is good anywhere, but her temper is a little capricious, and she does things as she wants, which catches people off guard.

In a few days, it will be the king's birthday. The princess had already prepared a pair of jade ruyi as a birthday gift. Suddenly changed his mind this morning and wanted to give a full brown bear skin.

The skin of this brown bear should be intact.

"The skin and gallbladder are no longer available. After speaking, Yu Zimo took the white horse Changyue next to him and walked out of the forest indifferently.

Qing Yao wanted to follow, so she listened to the princess's instructions in front, "Pull out the two arrows from the bear and bring them back." ”

Qing Yao took the order, walked to the brown bear, and reached out to pull out the arrow in the brown bear's eyes and chest. I used two forces, but I didn't pull it out. She was a little surprised, and when she checked the brown bear's back, she was surprised to find that the two arrows on the brown bear not only hit, but also penetrated the brown bear's body, and the arrows fell into the dirt under the bear's back. No wonder the princess said that the bear's skin and gall were useless, and that they had been broken by arrows.

It took a great deal of effort for her to pull the arrow out of the brown bear entirely. Looking up at the princess, the princess's figure had disappeared into the forest.

She didn't have time to be shocked or think about it, so she put away her arrows and chased after them. "Princess, wait for me. ”

Back at the royal palace in the capital, it was already completely dark.

Xindu - The capital of Xindu is not the largest compared to the capitals of several other countries, but it can be regarded as prosperous. During the day, all kinds of buying and selling merchants are opened, and all kinds of people are crowded, and the streets and alleys are very lively. After nightfall, the houses will be closed, closer to the sparse people, and there will be silence.

The royal palace of Xin is in the middle of the capital, separated by a high palace wall, and the layers of palaces are solemn. Normally, after dark, the palace was silent, with few lights, and every palace seemed to be asleep.

Tonight seems a little different. There were many more guards on the way to the main hall of the palace, and there were lights in the side hall prepared for the envoys of other countries.

Yu Zimo took Qing Yao without going to the main door, and returned to his residence from the side door. The other maids set up the lamp for the princess's room, and prepared the toiletries for the princess.

Yu Zimo changed into comfortable clothes, washed up, and asked the people who served her to go out. Sitting alone at the table, he picked up a scroll from the table, opened it, looked at the contents of the scroll, and thought about what had just happened in the woods.

Qing Yao walked in, holding two long arrows in her hands. "This is the arrow you want. ”

"Put it down. You can go back and rest. Yu Zimo said, seeing Qing Yao standing still, he asked, "...... Anything else?"

Qing Yao replied, "The eldest prince is back." ”

"Oh?" Yu Zimo's eyebrows moved, "Big brother is back?, why is it so fast, didn't you say that you won't be able to come back until the day before your father's birthday?"

"I don't know, the guard said that the eldest prince came here to see the princess as soon as he came back, but the princess was not there, so he went back to rest first. Also, this time, the eldest prince brought back a lot of rare treasures from the East China Sea, and the king said that when the princess came back, let the princess go to see and choose first. ”

"Got it. Yu Zimo said lazily.

"Is the princess going now?"

"Don't rush ......"

"The other princes, princesses, and the king's concubines are still waiting. Qing Yao reminded carefully. The others are still waiting to receive the princess and pick out the rest of the gifts.

"Let them wait. Tomorrow is fifteen, I want to rest early, you go and get ready the clothes I will wear tomorrow, and we will leave before dawn. ”

"Yes" The princess has always been willful and does her own thing, and her brothers spoil her, and even the king can't do anything about her.

"Let's go down. ”

Qing Yao went out, Yu Zimo put down the silk scroll, picked up the two arrows that Qing Yao put down and took from the brown bear, and watched through the light. Arrows are arrows used by ordinary hunters, three-edged arrowheads, wooden arrow shafts, and arrow shafts are soaked with special juice to make the shafts tougher.

Being able to shoot through a brown bear's chest at such a distance and in such an environment with such an arrow is a testament to this man's archery skills. And the man's reaction when he heard his own question, the speed at which he moved through the woods.

Yu Zimo secretly clasped the thumb and index finger of his left hand together, and after a long time, his heart began to gradually become clearer. She lowered her arrow and sighed slightly. The gaze returned to the previous silk scroll.

On the fifteenth day of each month, it is the market day in all parts of Xindu, the market of Xindu is in the western suburbs, and every day on this day, the people of a hundred miles outside Xindu will gather here to trade. In addition to exchanging and buying basic daily necessities, furs, animal bones, jewelry, jade, weapons, herbs, exotic beasts, and even slaves can be exchanged here as long as you want. Princes, princes, grandsons, peddlers and pawns can all come here to trade. Therefore, every market day, all kinds of people gather here, and it is quite lively. In order to participate in the market, some people will go out early and walk for three or four days. And the things in the bazaar will make them feel worthwhile anyway.

Before dawn, Yu Zimo had already packed up. Today she wore a lilac dress, the body was plain, without any dotted patterns, only two fine gold threads embroidered on the neckline, sleeves, and hem of the dress. A white luan-shaped jade pendant hung on his waist.

The maid Qing Yao was already waiting outside the door.

Yu Zimo strode out of the door and told Qing Yao to set off.
