Jing Lan lay on the table, staring blankly at the wine glass in her hand, and even the person who walked in the door was behind her, and she didn't even realize it.

"Why did you drink so early in the morning?" Ah Lie raised his arm and snatched the wine glass from her hand, his tentacles felt the edge of the glass cold, and couldn't help laughing, "It's snowing outside, what's the fun of you drinking cold wine?" ”

Jing Lan sighed and said, "You don't understand, I'm worried here." ”

"In the morning, I didn't see your figure, and I sighed at this time," Ah Lie carried a chair in one hand, put it in front of Jing Lan, sat on it, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Is it because the patriarch won't let you go up the mountain to hunt?" ”

"How is it possible," Jing Lan hesitated for a moment before taking out a letter from her arms and handing it to Ah Lie, "That's it, let's take a look, there is someone to discuss who can come up with ideas for me." ”

"What's the big deal."

Ah Lie bowed his head and took the letter, pulling out the letter inside.

"This letter was sent to Shikun Mountain by a messenger from Yingtian yesterday, and my father was not there, so I intercepted the letter."

"You can see that I'm very embarrassed, whether to sue him or not."

After reading the contents of the letter, Ah Lie frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? ”

"You can't think of it, do you? But I heard the barbarian say, I followed the master to Jianghuai last time," Jing Lan paused in his tone and said in a low voice, "Now that I think about it, it makes sense." ”

"This girl is really powerful, she can actually enter the palace without hiding from the world." Alie sighed in amazement.

"That's because you haven't seen her, she has about a hand on her face, it doesn't look obvious."

"But, I just don't understand, how can she be the doctor of Renshantang, and become the youngest daughter of Lord Shoufu, and go to Jianghuai to relieve disasters and practice medicine, how many identities does she have?"

Jing Lan muttered to herself.

"I don't care about this for now, but your master has traveled thousands of miles to help her regardless of his body. If this letter reaches him, I think," Ari's face grew gloomy.

"Who's to say it isn't? This is the most difficult part of me, if I tell Brother Yun the truth, how will he react. If you hide it, you don't think it's appropriate. ”

"Hold the letter down and wait a few days." Ah Lie pondered for a moment and said, "I heard the attendant who came down from the mountain say that your master's situation this time is very dangerous, and it is not a good idea to block him at this juncture. ”

"Last time, he delayed the treatment of his old injuries in order to go to Jianghuai, and he held on until the disaster on Jianghuai's side ended, and he heard the barbarian say that he was on the way back."

Jing Lan was halfway through her words. lowered his eyelids and said: "When he arrived in Zhuangzi, he rarely went out in the past few months. "Even the treatment of the injured in the tribe's autumn hunt, he has given me full authority to deal with, according to my master's personality, if it is not really unbearable. How could it be possible to put so many things on my shoulders. "My father was elated, thinking that I had finally left the school, but in fact, I knew in my heart that I had no hope in my life to catch up with the master's ability."

She lowered her head, her tone was gloomy, and Ah Lie Shi beside her was planning for her. With a straight face, when he heard this half-negative sentence at this moment, the expression on his face was relaxed, and the corner of his mouth also showed a smile: "You are still quite self-aware." "Don't look at my jokes, don't you know?" Jing Lan glanced at him and said.

"My heart is hanging in the air." Jing Lan looked at Ah Lie in embarrassment and said, "I can't think of a good way for the time being, so I have to press it for a few days." ”

As she spoke, she casually put the letter into the makeup on the table.

Outside the window, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes was raging, and Jing Lan walked to the window and watched silently for a while. Behind him, Ah Lie looked at her back with a hint of worry in his eyes

The landslides of the rainy season affected the road, and I entered the paddock later than expected, and I was relieved when the carriage finally bypassed a pile of bruised stones and approached the road leading directly outside the paddock.

Turning his head to look back at Xiao Ning, whose face was so pale that he could barely see blood, he noticed that the speed of the carriage suddenly increased, and he also felt that the road seemed to be improving.

Slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were confused for a moment, and he looked at me for a few seconds before he whispered: "Xiao Ling'er, are you in the paddock?" ”

I nodded, lifted the curtain of the car to look outside, and after a moment turned my eyes back to him and said, "Listen to the guard who drove the car, you will be there soon." ”

"How are you doing?" There was a hint of concern in my tone.

Xiao Ning's eyes suddenly brightened a lot, and a smile bloomed on his lips and said, "I'm going to ask you, the attending doctor." ”

I reached out and handed it to him, and to my surprise, he didn't reach for it as expected.

Xiao Ning tightened the robe on his body, leaned his head on the wall of the carriage, and said indifferently: "It's still the same, don't bother." ”

For a moment, the harmonious atmosphere just now seemed like an illusion of me alone.

I withdrew my hand with an embarrassed face, and like him, I occupied the other end of the carriage, each preoccupied, and could only hear the sound of the axle turning under me accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.

The carriage quickened up, and it was time to reach the paddock woods, just in time for the first hunt of the trip.

Before I got out of the car, Xiao Ning had already taken me a step ahead, and he still reached out and hugged me down as he did when he came.

The guards led the horses that had been following the convoy to us, and Xiao Ning helped me onto the horse.

He himself followed me and rode another maroon horse.

In the paddock, a group of palace guards have already been stationed as the ones who receive us.

I rode on a horse, but only walked a short distance through the woods, and saw the intermittent sound of conversation among the trees, and the occasional flickering of figures on the periphery, which, in my experience, was only the tip of the iceberg.

Although I tried hard to convince myself that Xiao Ning's identity was different from the past, and with this hunt, his condition was not much better, no matter how many guards he brought, it was normal, but his mood still plummeted.

I rode on my horse and was silent, thinking back to the glimpse I had just passed on the road, and the uncertainty in my heart increased a little.

His face gradually sank, and Xiao Ning, who followed behind him, urged the horse, and when he came to my side, he looked at me sideways for a few seconds, and suddenly stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

The squire lurking in the woods quickly responded, and a man and a rider suddenly came out of the leafy branches.

Not surprised, I looked at the man's dress. Sense that the other party will not be an ordinary guard.

Sure enough, Xiao Ning summoned him to come forward and said a few words in a voice that I could barely hear.

The man was given the order and soon vanished. With him disappeared with all the movement in the forest that I had previously noticed.

I glanced at Xiao Ning in surprise, and he smiled lightly on his lips: "Looking at the eyesore, let them all retreat." ”

"Now this forest is very quiet."

"That" Before I could say the next word, Xiao Ning answered, and said in a relaxed tone, "You are worried that dinner will not be settled, don't worry, I didn't pin my hopes on you." Now it's just that it has cleared the obstacles in front of you, with what you like and what you hate, you don't need to say, I understand ten*. "But sometimes. Xiao Ling'er, have you ever thought about it?"

His words, to my ears, seemed to be a pun, I sighed in my heart, looked into the depths of the forest, turned my head and said, "Since I came out to hunt." I'll talk about it in the evening, and at the moment, the business is important. “

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ning raised his head slightly, stared in the direction I was looking at just now for a few seconds, and said in a low voice, "Okay." Listen to you. “

He quickly changed the subject: "I do remember that when I came back last time, the harvest in the depths of the forest in the west was quite abundant, so it is better for us to follow that one and take it away, if we hit an arrow." It's a windfall. “

I hesitated and said, "Your current companion is me, I'm not sure I can help you, but when I eat, I can do something." “

Xiao Ning smiled when he heard this: "This is natural, I said, there is no hope in you, you just be a quiet bystander and wait." “

With that, he rode his horse first, and set out on the road to the dense forest to the west, and I hesitated for a moment, and then followed.

The sound of horses' hooves passed through the forest

Frost-dyed autumn maples, if you put aside the obsession in your heart and simply come to watch the hunt, it is indeed a refreshing scene.

I followed Xiao Ning, the two horses only a few feet away, and went deep into the woods to the west, and along the way I saw him harvest a few pieces of game that were sufficient for dinner, and my interest became high. "I really didn't see that you were much better than I expected." I was stunned.

Xiao Ning tightened the reins, looked back at me speechlessly, and said, "You are complimenting, how can it not sound like a taste." "It's a boast, but it's not so obvious."

He snorted, and continued to lead the way to the depths, unconsciously, I saw that the direction of the road in the forest was a little wrong, and a thought flashed in my mind, and I shouted behind him: "Xiao Ning, are you going in the wrong direction?" “

He stopped again, and this time the other man got off his horse, took a closer look at the surroundings, and said to me in an affirmative tone, "I'm sure there's nothing wrong." “

He explained: "The road to the west of the forest is not actually straight, but a few bends around the forest in the northwest of the forest, and it was deliberately designed because it can lead to the deepest part of the gò paddock, where several small hills are connected and undulating, and the prey is the most. "As you saw when you came, the river in the mountains also passed northwest of the paddock, and if you go all the way to the end, this is where I have my attendants stationed in advance, and there is a rest at night." "That's right, don't worry." He thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and said.

I looked at him suspiciously, but looking at the other party's calm and relaxed expression, I gradually dispelled the apprehension in my heart, and he said yes, right.

Fortunately, I kept an eye on the road and didn't see many forks in the road, the only thing to worry about was the rain-eroded collapse of the mountain road outside the paddock, which at the moment, at least, is safe
