Chapter 18
"So you have a reason to steal this sack of pheasants?"
Ji Yao met his cold eyes and said embarrassedly: "It's not stealing, even if you borrow me, I will pay you back twice in the future." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu Xun's expression was faint, and his attitude could not be seen from his face at all, Ji Yao opened his mouth, and the person in front of him suddenly walked towards him, pointed to the pile of charcoal and said softly: "Go over and sit." ”
Ji Yao couldn't believe her ears, she hurriedly wiped the oil on the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and dragged the sack to follow, Liu Xun took two steps, and couldn't help but look back at her when she heard the movement, her eyes were extremely complicated.
Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is grim, the party struggle has a tendency to move from the dark to the bright, and the prince is stepping up efforts to crack down on the power of the king.
If there is no action, it is easy to explain, but what kind of fame does she want to make?
"I can't sit still for long, it's almost time, it's time to go back. Ji Yao looked at Liu Xun with a weak heart, but the sack in his hand was tightly grasped.
Liu Xun looked at her for a while before he slowly spoke: "How about I use this sack of pheasants for a problem?"
"Really? That's the best, you ask. Ji Yao agreed very happily, and a trace of hesitation immediately crossed Liu Xun's eyes, but he still asked the question, "What are you participating in the seventh test for?"
"Uh......"
Ji Yao didn't expect Liu Xun to ask this question, so she said, "I'm afraid that if I say it, you won't believe it......"
"You don't want to answer, so let's go. After Liu Xun said this, seeing that Ji Yao really had a tendency to get up and leave, he added lightly, "Pheasants stay." ”
"Hey, the prince held the seventh trial with the silver of the Changfu, which is a full five thousand gold! enough to be worth half a year's military salary, which is too wasteful. If I win the competition, I will get the money back, and the prince will get what he wants, and I will get back what I want, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Ji Yao said seriously, she didn't notice Liu Xun's twitching ~ twitching mouth and shocked gaze, and when she cast her gaze, Liu Xun had already recovered her indifferent expression, and asked, "You Chang family...... Is it because the mountains and rivers are exhausted? You can't even give up this bit of silver? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks the Chang family for money again in the future, won't you ask for ...... again?"
"In the future?" This time it was Ji Yao's turn to twitch the corners of his mouth, and he sneered, "In the future, I will be free, Changfu has hundreds of mouths up and down waiting for dinner, but he can't come up with this spare money." ”
The green tendons on Liu Xun's forehead trembled, his mouth opened and opened, but he couldn't say half a sentence, Ji Yao saw that the sun was about to set, and he really couldn't delay it, so he got up and said: "I owe you these pheasants, and when I return home, I will definitely pay you back." ”
Liu Xun watched Ji Yao drag a sack of pheasants to the forest with difficulty, and suddenly remembered her arrogant and arrogant a few days ago.
"Ah Xun, the people in the forest are almost gone, and I don't know why they want to come to the forest to hunt, which really spoils the interest of you and me. King Ding walked out of the other side of the forest with two porcelain jade wine bottles, he was dressed in a snow-white mantle, his robe swayed gently with his footsteps, and the placket in the placket was equipped with a white jade belt, which was very conspicuous.
"Your Royal Highness......" Liu Xun was about to stand up as he spoke, but King Ding glanced at him with disgust, and pretended to be displeased, "I said that when there was no one, I called my eleventh brother like when I was a child, what did you call Your Highness?"
"Brother Eleven. ”
King Ding sat down satisfied, saw the miserable appearance on the charcoal stove, and was about to make fun of him, but after glancing at the empty ground, he said in surprise: "Ah Xun, why is the pheasant you hunted gone?"
"I just met Chang Jiyao, and she took some pheasants away. Liu Xun didn't have the slightest intention of concealing it.
King Ding was stunned for a moment, withdrew the smile on his face, and said with a solemn expression: "The prince's side has not moved for a long time, I don't know what he is planning, Chang Jiyao is so abnormal, we must be more careful." If the marquis's side can't be used by us, then we should get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to have endless troubles in the future. ”
"The Shen family's tree is too big to deal with, it will take time, I will find a way to make a move as soon as possible. Liu Xun paused, raised his eyes and asked, "So Chang Jia...... What should I do?"
"The Chang family will soon be unable to protect itself, what do you think is the intention of the prince to frequently elevate the Chang family in recent months?" Seeing a complicated look in Liu Xun's eyes, King Ding squinted his eyes and said in front of him, "However, I don't mind helping to add fuel to the fire at this time." ”
Liu Xun looked down at the roast chicken that had been gnawed by Ji Yao, was silent, raised his eyebrows, picked up the sake on the side and poured it into his throat desperately.
The sunset slanted ~ into the forest, accompanied by the mottled shadows of the trees, shining brightly on the gorgeous robes of the two, and Ji Yao at the other end of the forest had already climbed onto Zhu Shang's horse with a thick face.
The horse carried the weight of the two of them, and added a lot of prey, ran and stopped all the way, and finally returned to Yuhua Garden.
"The horse has really worked hard for you today, and I don't know what kind of bad luck you fell in your last life, and you came to us as a mount in this life. ”
Zhu Shang glanced at Ji Yao, who was chattering, and reminded: "I don't have time to give you long-winded, hurry up." ”
Almost everyone in the yard arrived, and there were big or small prey at their feet, Ji Yao glanced at it, and there were only seven at most, and he knew that he would take a few pheasants less, which was not a good thing.
"Look at her dragging a sack of prey!"
Under everyone's curious gaze, Ji Yao poured out the prey in the sack, and there was an exclamation in his ears, and even Zhu Shang beside him looked very surprised.
"One, two, three...... Eight pheasants, plus one wild bird, nine in total!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Although everyone shouted loudly, the hostility and jealousy in their eyes could not be concealed, Ji Yao couldn't help but get angry when he thought of Lin Zi's matter, and he also claimed to be a scholar who was rich and rich! Is this the character and integrity of a scholar?
"Jean, don't you see the princess here?" A sharp voice came from outside the crowd, Ji Yao followed the voice and looked up, and sure enough, she saw Xie Wei and a few little girls beside her.
Unexpectedly, cousin Jiang Chuxiu also followed behind Xie Wu, Ji Yao raised his head, his gaze was solid, and there was no need to dodge.
Jiang Chuxiu followed Xie Wei to Ji Yao, swept his eyes to the ground, and said in surprise: "Has His Royal Highness King Ding also participated in the competition?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xie glanced at her, his face slightly displeased.
Jiang Chuxiu squatted down, pulled out a cold arrow from Ji Yao's prey pile~, turned around and explained: "Princess, isn't this an arrow unique to Dingwangfu? ”
Xie Wei took the cold arrow, looked left and right, nodded and said, "It's really from the Dingwang Mansion, could it be that this pile of prey was really beaten by Brother Eleven?"
Everyone present turned their eyes on Ji Yao's face again, Ji Yao twitched the corners of his mouth, forced his composure and was about to explain, when a figure suddenly jumped in front of him, reached out and grabbed the wild bird, pretending to be shocked: "Isn't this the wild bird that I just lost? Why is it here? You see, this arrow is mine, exactly the same as the arrow in my bow bag!"
