Chapter 27: An unexpected encounter with Liu Chen
This trip to Lushan has a total of five days.
And the arrangement of the itinerary is for men to hunt, compare riding and archery, and then wrestle, openly and secretly.
For the women, they either drank tea and chattered, or they rewarded the bravery of the men and cheered them on.
It's boring to say.
However, in Gu Qinghe's opinion, this trip to Lushan is a bit of a blind date in disguise.
The princes, young masters, and princesses of each family accounted for half, and the parents of these children were all talking to other parents in a targeted manner, and most of the conversations revolved around their own children.
Gu Qinghe really admired the ancients so much!
It's only been two days since such a day, and the red beans are already annoyed, but fortunately, there are still three days left on this trip to Lushan.
In Gu's Mansion, Hongdou can also practice martial arts in Lanyuan, and sometimes sneak out with Gu Qinghe, but here, she can only stay in peace.
Gu Qinghe was reading a book beside him, and when he saw Hongdou squatting at the door of the tent and looking out, he sighed and sighed, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Hongdou, this girl, has changed a lot since she followed her, and she is more lively, bold, and a little less servile than before.
Gu Qinghe closed the book and sighed lightly. Although she doesn't hate such days as red beans, she really doesn't like them.
Thinking about her previous life, in order to complete her mission, she could ambush in a cramped room for several days without talking or even contacting the outside world.
It feels like she's the only one in this world, but she can survive those days, let alone now.
But to be honest, she has been in this world for more than half a month, and this is the first time she has stepped out of the center of the city, so when she saw Gu Yitang and others hunting, she also felt a little itchy in her heart.
"Red Bean, let's go out for a walk."
Hearing this, Red Bean immediately jumped up, "Really? ”
Gu Qinghe put down the book: "What's the use of me lying to you?" ”
The altitude of this deer mountain is not high, but it covers a particularly wide area, the front mountain is connected to the water, and the trees in the back mountain are continuous and almost there is no end in sight.
It is precisely because of this that on this trip to Lushan, even the Praetorian Guards were used to escort them, guarding them three layers inside and three layers outside.
However, no matter how strict it is, it was still slipped in by Bai Yan!
Gu Qinghe led the red beans down the mountain road, and only came to the foot of the mountain after passing three guards on the way.
"This young lady, you can't go any further." As they approached the foot of the mountain, they were stopped by the guards.
Gu Qinghe looked down the mountain, and there were two more rigorous checkpoints in front of him, and outside the mountain was outside.
Gu Qinghe didn't impose a demand, nodded and walked back, returning to a spring passing by and stopped.
The spring water was clean and clear, cold and cool, and when the two masters and servants saw that there was no one on the side, they patted their faces with water, and the heat of their bodies suddenly dispersed.
Red Bean giggled happily and avoided the rabbit in surprise. The little white rabbit jumped out of the grass and went up the hillside.
"It's a little hare, why did you come to the side of the road?" Red Bean said in amazement.
The spring is not hidden and is not far from the side of the road.
"Maybe it was hunting up there that scared it here." Gu Qinghe picked up a few stones from the spring and said with interest, "Red beans, let's go, let's catch rabbits!" ”
"Don't you want it, miss, what if you encounter a beast?" Hongdou was worried about Gu Qinghe's comfort.
"Don't be afraid." Gu Qinghe had already raised his heels.
The hare runs very fast in the mountains and forests, but fortunately, the rabbit is not big, so Gu Qinghe can still keep up even if he pulls the red beans.
They followed the hare up the hill and before they knew it, they were in the woods hunting area.
The little hare was tired of running, and finally stopped.
Gu Qinghe and the others also stopped, she weighed the small stone in her hand, and was about to get out of her hand and hit the hare's head.
There was only a sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow flew into the hare's neck, and the whole hare was shot several meters away.
"Ahh Red Bean screamed in fright.
Gu Qinghe frowned slightly, looked up at the place where the arrow was fired, and saw Liu Chen sitting on the horse, looking at Gu Qinghe with a smug expression.
The two were fifty meters away, looking at each other, one cold, the other arrogant.
Liu Chen came over and looked at Gu Qinghe condescendingly: "Gu Qinghe? ”
Gu Qinghe owed: "The people's daughter Qinghe has seen the Third Highness. ”
"This is not the place for you." Liu Chen's words carried the majesty of the emperor, which was a kind of forcing temperament that others could not learn.
"The folk girl will leave." Gu Qinghe's expression did not move, and he walked in the direction of the camp.
"Don't forget your rabbit." Liu Chen's eyes were still staring at Gu Qinghe.
"That's your prey, not mine."
"I shot it for you." From beginning to end, Liu Chen used a commanding tone, "So, it's yours." ”
I'm shooting it for you, and you have to accept it. That's what he meant!
Gu Qinghe raised his eyes and looked at Liu Chen again: "No merit is not accepted, and Qinghe dare not accept it." ”
Liu Chen was a little annoyed because Qinghe repeatedly violated his will: "Gu Qinghe, you are challenging my ability to endure. ”
"The women don't dare." Gu Qinghe's words were a little sneering.
Liu Chen was silent, his face a little gloomy.
"Third Highness, let's retire first, so as not to disturb your enjoyment." Gu Qinghe bowed and continued to walk in the direction of the camp.
"Gu Qinghe, you stop!" Liu Chen shouted coldly, "No one dares to be so presumptuous in front of me!" ”
"Qing He doesn't understand, what Qing He did just now doesn't seem to be that inappropriate." Gu Qinghe is neither humble nor arrogant.
Liu Chen chuckled: "Want to play and indulge? I don't eat that! ”
"Huh!" Gu Qinghe's mouth was full of mockery, "Third Highness, you really think too much!" ”
Gu Qinghe walked away from his anger, but he didn't care what Liu Chen behind him thought. Liu Chen had better be disgusted with himself.
When Gu Qinghe and Hongdou walked back to the camp, the emperor and his party had already returned.
Gu Yitang, who came back from the same company, waited outside Gu Qinghe's tent, mysteriously holding a ball of something.
"Qinghe, come into the tent, I have something for you." Gu Yitang saw Gu Qinghe and the two of them, and hurriedly said.
Entering the tent, Gu Yitang uncovered the cloth he was holding, revealing a small cute little rabbit.
"I found a rabbit nest while hunting today, and I know you've always liked small animals, so I caught one for you." Gu Yitang had an expectant look on his face, "How about it, do you like it?" ”
Gu Qinghe didn't have any joy, but had some bad memories.
But looking at Gu Yitang's excited expression, he couldn't bear to refute his intentions.
Gu Qinghe didn't know if this was the original owner's mind at work, since she crossed over, she found that her heart was no longer as indifferent as in her previous life.
Gu Qinghe reached out and touched the little rabbit's soft long ears: "I like it, thank you, brother." ”
Gu Yitang saw Qinghe smile, and the stone in his heart finally fell.
Qinghe likes rabbits, he knows it, but for some reason to see her again this time, he doesn't seem to be sure.
In the afternoon of the same day, the emperor arranged for the younger generation to try riding and archery, and those who won could ask for a holy decree like the emperor, as long as it was not too excessive, he was absolutely satisfied.
As soon as these words fell, young talents were eager to try, and they all wanted to win the championship and win a wish.
Jin Zhao has a tradition, that is, men need to practice martial arts, so the sons present are more or less proficient in martial arts, and riding archery is the most basic one, everyone can do it.
Therefore, the seven or eight young men led by His Royal Highness the Third Prince were all full of confidence.
Of course, Gu Yitang and Gu Juntang were on the list, but Gu Manting instructed his two sons to express themselves at will, so as not to steal the limelight from the princes.
