Chapter 109: Roe Deer

The boy untied his cloak, wrapped the tanuki very carefully, put it behind him, rolled over, and sat gently on the window.

"I'll go to the capital, stop by the way, and protect you."

Fang Yi's feet were weak, he sat down, and he muttered for a long time: "Who are you?" ”

Being able to appear generously near the royal car, she is not an ordinary person, she was worried in her heart, she was worried for a while that this would not be an assassin, she would not be so unlucky, and for a while she thought that it was definitely impossible, this person only looked at the appearance, maybe it was a noble son.

Looking at his face again, Fang Yi's cheeks suddenly turned red, and they were hot.

"Rizzle."

Fang Yi was stunned for a long time, and then realized that this was his name, but this name was too weird.

"Little lotus!"

Hongchen smiled, his eyebrows were like his eyebrows.

Lu Fenghe raised his eyebrows lightly and blinked, but he didn't say much, obviously he didn't mind the title of Xiaohe at all, although he was a young boy, and it should have been the most embarrassing time.

Hongchen turned his head sideways, looking at his reflection in the teacup, his hair seemed to be messed up, he didn't take care of it much, and his clothes were too casual...... Oops, she washed her face in a hurry in the morning, and ate stinky tofu for breakfast......

"Ahem."

Now sitting in front of her is Ritsu Fenghe!

The young master of Huangquanmen, the legendary immortal figure.

Back then, in the Ghost Valley, as long as Xiaohe was there, the cost of rouge gouache for the female disciples inside and outside the Ghost Valley would be doubled, and the clothes and jewelry would become extraordinarily exquisite. Even if a long, long time later, she inadvertently saw Xiaohe again, her first reaction was to check whether she was maintaining her best appearance.

Many people said that Senior Brother Lin had done so many earth-shattering things that shocked the world, but what really excited the disciples of Guigu was that he abducted the young master of the family and added such good benefits to Guigu.

Hongchen felt that he had gone through the vicissitudes of the sea, and he didn't miss a beautiful man like a little girl, but his heart still beat a little faster. Trying to divert attention - Senior Brother Lin actually let Xiaohe come. It seems that it should be temporarily used as a guard for an adult.

The people of Huangquanmen are a promise of a thousand gold, and the law wind and lotus have to be guards. No one in the world would refuse.

Hongchen sighed. Not much. The royal car stopped, and everyone set up camp to start dinner, and she and her carload went to bury the tanuki cat first. Hongchen crouched down, dug through the dirt, and wrapped the cat's body with a beautiful blue satin.

The cat was poisoned to death, its face was a little hideous, Hongchen put on a pair of thick gloves and carefully brushed its hair.

"No more poison needles."

If there is, it is not easy to bury it, and then accidentally hurt others.

Hongchen put the cat down and took it out again: "No, let's burn it to ashes, it's poisoned to death, and I don't know how long this poison can remain." ”

If the land is polluted, all the creatures in this area will suffer, Xiaohe heard this, so he picked up a large handful of firewood for her, and bought a porcelain jar from the cook to hold the ashes.

The burning time is not long, the little civet cat is very small, far from adult, short in stature, and the bones are also weak, and it does not take long to be packed and buried in the ground.

Hongchen covered the soil, exhaled, and gently recited a sutra of the past life.

While she was reciting, Lu Fenghe squatted down and stared at her mouth, her eyes full of curiosity, and when she finally finished reading, she couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't I heard this scripture of yours?" Who is Hou Tu Niang? Is he also a god? ”

As soon as Hongchen turned his head, he saw that this young man who was dressed in a snow-white robe, his black hair was tied with a blue ribbon, and a jade the size of a thumb was hanging down from his bun, his face was like snow and frost, and he exuded a strange charm from the inside out.

The young master of Huangquanmen that I saw in my previous life was already a cold and piercing blade, and if I got closer, I would be injured by the sword qi, and it was true that I could win the favor of countless girls, but I could only watch from a distance, and I couldn't blaspheme it.

An expression like today's is afraid that only a teenager can have it.

Hongchen blinked, her mood was soothed, she rubbed her eyebrows, not to think about the mess, and simply to show off the mysterious knowledge she had newly obtained from the Yujue space.

"The flood wilderness opened the world from Pangu, Hongjun became holy, and preached three times in Zixiao Palace...... Later, when the land saw the battle of the lich, there were countless casualties, and the souls of injustice wandered between heaven and earth, dissipating completely, so they incarnated into the six realms of reincarnation and achieved supreme merit, and the witch clan has prospered since then......"

The eyes of the crowd straightened when they heard this.

Mrs. Xu hurried over, his legs and feet were a little trembling, but he saw his guard who fell from the sky staring at the little girl with a focused face, as soon as he received the news, saying that someone had assassinated, he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and his heart was about to spit out of his throat, but people told stories, listened to stories, and couldn't do it leisurely.

"Ahem."

Hongchen turned his head.

Xiaohe frowned and glanced at Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu: "......" is really %%#@#%!!

His kindness makes people like donkey liver and lungs!

"Don't forget, let's make it clear what's going on, this is not a joke, Your Majesty's side has already been alarmed, and his old man has ordered General Shao of the Imperial Forest Army to be under full martial law, and it must be strictly investigated."

Hongchen frowned, and knew that the emperor was afraid that he was a pond fish that had been affected this time, and the guy who intended to get rid of most of the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the festival saw that he didn't succeed, so he hated her as the initiator, so he shifted his target to kill her.

"There's some truth to that."

Let Mrs. Xu remind him, even Hongchen himself is a little confused, is this really the case? This time it's not about Xia Cicada? It seems that Xia Cicada will not be so strong, dare to do it in front of the royal car, and can still do this thing thousands of miles away!

Hongchen smiled, she couldn't help but think too highly of that person, Xia Chan did have a bit of a team in the capital, and she could gather a group of people for her use, but after all, she was only a thousand gold from the Xia family, where did the capital affect the people in front of the emperor!

"Since His Majesty personally ordered the investigation, the results will be available soon, so let's rest easy. Why should Mrs. Xu worry. ”

Hongchen smiled and pulled Master Xu to sit down together, glanced at it, and saw that his big black personal guard had a serious face, and the knife was not in his hand, thinking that he was really nervous.

However, the big black man looked at Xiaohe, it was not friendly, it was obvious that there was a bit of atmosphere, but as soon as Xiaohe turned his head, his eyes immediately avoided it. Obviously, it was also a little bit of a loss.

Hongchen chuckled. It seems that this big black man hates Xiaohe for robbing him of his errands, but Lord Xu is very proud.

Holding Xiaohe with one hand, he pointed to Hongchen and his party, and introduced in a low voice. He turned his head again and said, "This is terrible." It was Mr. Lin, the third disciple of Mr. Guiya, who introduced me personally. Hey, in fact, there was no danger, and I was not the only one who had an accident at the festival at that time. No one is afraid, what am I afraid of, but Mr. Lin's kindness can not be shirked, this young man of the law is Mr. Lin's right-hand man, born in Huangquanmen, is a first-class master. ”

"Hmph."

The big black man snorted through his nose, but lowered his head and said nothing.

Hongchen's throat was a little itchy, uh, why did Xiaohe appear next to Mrs. Xu, or let it be a secret forever.

Anyway, since Xiaohe appeared as Mrs. Xu's guard, he was sure to do his duty.

After sitting and talking for a while, His Majesty's confidant, General Shao of the Imperial Forest Army, came over in person, with only a middle-aged scribe and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old general.

General Shao was polite, asked about the situation carefully, and asked Xiao He's poisonous flower branch to take a look.

Xiaohe didn't let him take it, only let him take a little juice, he didn't mind, it seemed that he still cared about Hongchen's current identity, his majesty's close ministers like him knew the emperor's mind best, but now that Hongchen is being favored, he naturally wants to hold it and respect it.

From beginning to end, only General Shao spoke alone, and the two beside him just stood behind the general with a serious face.

Hongchen's gaze couldn't help but sweep around the young general, and wondered in his heart - how could he see two old people in one day.

She was very happy to see Xiaohe, but when she saw the person in front of her, she was a little unhappy.

She will never remember this person's face, Huo Qingyun, the only son of the Huo family, his parents died, and only he and a cousin were left in the entire Huo family.

Hongchen remembers very well that she also had some dealings with this Huo Gongzi back then, and felt that he was hearty, mild-tempered, and a person worth befriending, although the relationship was not particularly close, after all, there were differences between men and women, but she really regarded this person as a friend in her heart.

But on that day, Wang Yue heroically rescued the United States and rescued the fifth lady of the Wang family of Pingjun who was startled, and the two secretly fell in love, Huo Qingyun was at the scene, witnessing it with his own eyes, but he didn't think to inform himself, Wang Yue's original wife, and even every time he met her, he had no different colors, and he was very frank and calm.

She was deceived for three years, and it wasn't until the fifth lady had a deep love for herself that she couldn't extricate herself, and she almost knew it to the world, and the entire aristocratic circle in the capital knew about it, and she got the news.

Afterwards, if Wang Yue hadn't said the role Huo Qingyun played in it, and said how much he inherited Huo Gongzi's love, Hongchen would probably never know what kind of person this person was.

That's it, at most, Huo Qingyun didn't take her seriously, you can't treat other people's politeness as friendly, you have to ask others to report the same feelings, other people's affairs are not their own business, hang high, don't like to take care of you, is there still a crime?

It's just that later, when she got older, she gradually matured, to remember some old things, once she almost let a drunk break into the door when she was soaking in a hot spring, if it wasn't for the alertness of the maid trained by her, I don't know how big a mess it was, similar things happened several times, she didn't suspect anything, until she found Xia Cicada mixed with it, she was shocked, but she had already half torn her face with Xia Cicada at that time, and she was very guarded against her, and her whereabouts would definitely not be revealed to her, think about it carefully, these few times things happened, and every time she met Huo Qingyun.

Until now, she didn't know if Huo Qingyun really leaked her news to Xia Chan.

Hongchen lowered his head, and there was no abnormality on his face.

Anyway, she doesn't plan to deal with this person again in this life, she should be a stranger, and stay away from this person.

In addition to himself, others have benefited a lot from him, presumably this is a hypocrite, as long as he does not show his traps, he will continue to disguise himself, and he will be a gentleman for the rest of his life. It doesn't hurt either.

There is a martial arts novel in Yujue, which seems to have written about a hypocrite, saying that he was a pity and did a wrong thing, and if he could maintain that mask for the rest of his life, it would be a blessing for everyone.

Hongchen knows that many people think that real villains are cuter than hypocrites, because hypocrites often deceive others and cause great disasters, but he hangs a gentleman's skin. After all, you have to be more particular than the villain. One day if the skin is not peeled off, he will also be chivalrous and righteous, and he will also help the world, and I don't know how many people can benefit from this.

General Shao put Hongchen and they said the cause and effect. All of them are recorded in detail. With a serious face: "Miss don't worry." No matter who dares to do anything by His Majesty's side, I will definitely chop him alive to vent my anger at Miss. ”

Hongchen smiled and thanked him.

Huo Qingyun also looked kind: "I hope that Miss will pay attention everywhere these days." That person doesn't look for anyone else, just starts at the young lady, I'm afraid it's going to target you. ”

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Xu and his party were startled.

Huo Qingyun thought for a while, and then said, "Why don't I send someone ......?"

As soon as Xiao He reached out and grabbed Hongchen's arm, the long sword in his hand was suddenly sent out, hitting a big tree next to him that was hugged by two people, and then retracted it instantly.

The tree slammed and fell to the ground, almost hitting Huo Qingyun's foot, so startled that he took three steps back.

Hongchen smiled: "Xiaohe said that he would protect me." ”

The others nodded stunned.

It's not that everyone hasn't seen a master, what a hundred steps through the Yang, flying eaves and walking on the wall, etc., there are many people around them who can do it.

But like this, a giant tree is broken with a scabbard casually, that is only in the legend, don't look at the book at every turn, there is a flying sword to grab people's heads, etc., but that is a story, but everyone who practices martial arts knows that the storyteller is talking nonsense.

"Well, anyway, if the young lady thinks of anything again, let someone send me a letter."

After saying a few more words, General Shao had something else to ask, so he took his leave. Before leaving, Huo Qingyun glanced back at Hongchen thoughtfully, his eyes slid over the little lotus guard, and he hurriedly straightened his face and made a decent gentleman's appearance, never letting people misunderstand.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Xu stretched his waist and gave an order to prepare some food to eat.

"Your Majesty said that you are tired and in good spirits, so you don't want us to accompany the king these days."

Speaking of the emperor's trust, it seems very beautiful to call in front of the emperor every day to be funny, but after serving the master for a long time, he will be just as tired, at least Mrs. Xu and their ministers occasionally want to rest, and they are not happy to keep asking for this kind of favor.

They are not courtiers, nor are they eunuchs, they only have one job all day, to make the emperor happy, people have a lot of errands to do seriously, like Mrs. Xu, it is not appropriate to be too close to the emperor.

The food delivered from outside the dinner looked good, there were fish, vegetables and meat, but the fish was black and hard, and the meat was covered with a thick layer of white oil.

Mrs. Xu was full before he ate, and sighed: "Hey, Your Majesty rewarded it, but others don't want to eat yet." ”

But no, it's just that their close ministers of the Son of Heaven, His Majesty gave them the dishes, and the others just make do with eating some hard cakes, or barbecue meat or something, located in the remote mountains, if you want to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, there is no place to eat.

The emperor brought cooks, but those cooks couldn't serve the dragons and phoenixes, and a large group of people behind them couldn't all count on others.

Hongchen looked at it and tried to clip a pair of chopsticks, but after a bite, she went to the car to take out the copper stove she used to make tea, and then put the tray for drinking tea on it, and briefly processed the meat dishes. He also baked a thick cake, smeared the meat sauce in the middle, poured the broth, and stuffed the vegetables and meat into it.

Mrs. Xu was very disgusted in her mouth, but she ate three of them in one go, Hongchen, and Fang Yi only ate half of them together.

The cakes she uses are big and thick, not the small baked cakes that are usually eaten, no way, now is not the time to pay attention to it, when you go out, you can make do with it.

said that it was improvised, but in fact, Mrs. Xu was stunned.

The cake has been baked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, brushed with a layer of sauce, the taste, the taste, the thick and heavy, you can't stop when you bite into it, and it is more suitable for Mrs. Xu's stomach than any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

A group of them ate sweetly, and the others saw it at a glance, and they also learned from each other, and there were all kinds of tricks, and there were lazy and trouble-free, and they directly mixed the dishes together, and there was a pot of stew, and then there were those with wine, sharing one or two, not to mention, the taste was actually not bad.

Under such a night breeze, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and it is a little more comfortable. Many important ministers chanted poems against each other, and found the fun of one or two travels.

After eating, a group of people walked together to eat, and only after walking a few steps, Hongchen paused, and raised his eyes into the distance.

Mrs. Xu glanced at it: "What's wrong?" ”

Not far away, Huo Qingyun was carrying a roe deer, and Chen Lin was sitting in front of the tent around a fluffy blanket, and the fire beside her made her cheeks slightly red.

Huo Qingyun smiled, pulled out his knife, and gestured. Raised eyebrows to look at Chen Lin. Smiled and asked, "Dare to look?" Or I'll go and deal with it. ”

"You just get it, nonsense, I'm really delicate." Chen Lin smiled, although she was also the lady of the county king's mansion. But it's different from the daughter who is disgusted and wants to vomit when she sees blood. She hunted on horseback. I think I'm no worse than a man.

Huo Qingyun shrugged and was about to go under the knife.

Hongchen frowned, "Wait a minute." He shouted and walked over.

Mrs. Xu was stunned. Hurriedly followed, Chen Lin and Huo Qingyun were obviously surprised, and they all stood up.

Chen Lin was also polite to Hongchen at this time.

"Miss Hongchen?"

Hongchen smiled: "General Huo has mercy under the sword. ”

Huo Qingyun blinked, and said with a smile: "What, Miss Hongchen is afraid of this?" So I'll go and deal with it later? ”

Chen Lin sneered, a touch of disapproval flashed in her eyes, what kind of hypocrisy, seeing that this roe deer felt cute, she had to be merciful, and she didn't see that she didn't eat pork and mutton, and she ate very energetically.

Hongchen didn't care, he got closer and touched the roe deer's lower abdomen: "It's pregnant, and it's a roe deer and not a beast, so why don't you stay?" We haven't reached the point where we can't do it if we don't eat it, I see that Mrs. Xu still has half a wild boar that hasn't been roasted, so why don't you ask Miss Fifth to try it? ”

Mrs. Xu laughed, and immediately turned around and ordered.

Huo Qingyun raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and he turned around and hugged his fists: "It's still Miss's eyesight, I didn't see it, I almost broke the rules, okay, then follow Miss's wishes." ”

Hongchen nodded, "When I get back, I'll invite Fifth Miss to eat good braised pork in oil." ”

Chen Lin secretly rolled her eyes, but she didn't say anything more, even she knew that in order to ensure that the prey could reproduce, the cubs and pregnant females should not be killed when hunting.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu's people carried the wild boar over, Hongchen walked over and took the roe deer in Huo Qingyun's hand, directly cut the rope that tied its legs and feet, pushed it to the place where no one was, and watched it run away.

The holy car only stayed here for one night, and no one dared to run around hunting in the middle of the night, and when they left the camp, the female roe deer must be safe.

Chen Lin's interest was not very high, and he was not very happy in his heart, Xu felt that he had lost face, and Hongchen did not make people unhappy, so he quickly said goodbye and went back, and Huo Qingyun sent it slightly, without showing the slightest abnormality, and was full of gratitude.

Seeing off Mrs. Xu and them, as soon as Huo Qingyun turned around, a strange smile appeared on his face, rubbed the arrows in the quiver behind his back, counted them very casually, and then walked back slowly.

Hongchen sighed: "Actually, if you eat it, you will eat it, after all, it is a prey, I am today...... Would love to take care of it. ”

Mrs. Xu frowned: "What are the words, it should have been managed." ”

A few years before the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were many beasts in some places, and the imperial court made a decree that the government organized hunting, and a certain number of young animals must be killed every year, and the cubs were halved, but they also had to be killed.

However, roe deer are herbivorous, and there are not many of them, and in such a wilderness, they can't harm the crops, and they can't eat it, and of course they shouldn't be killed!

Even if the fifth lady may not be at ease, she doesn't need to pay too much attention to it, turn back, sit down by the fire, and continue their bonfire.

Hongchen smiled and told all kinds of strange stories.

Fang Yi, this girl, still prefers to listen to ghost stories, she is energetic when she hears them, her courage is usually so small, and she is calm and calm when she listens to stories.

On the contrary, it was Xiaohe, who also pricked up his ears to listen, but there was a little movement outside, he went to touch his sword, his slender and flawless hand was tense for a while, and he relaxed a little for a while, pursed his lips, expressionless, but when he looked at his eyes, Hongchen felt that he was a bit like the little hamster raised at home, deliberately pretending to be bold in front of the big white cat, but as soon as the master left, he immediately jumped!

The surrounding environment is quite quiet, and those who are chatting and enjoying the scenery not far away also lower their voices, which will not be too disturbing, although the holy car is not close, and there is the protection of the Royal Forest Army, so they should not be able to hear the noise outside, but Your Majesty is here, and they dare not indulge too much.

In this environment, after telling ghost stories for a long time, when Mrs. Xu couldn't help coaxing everyone to sleep, Fang Yi got into Hongchen's bed.

Xiaohe glanced at it and didn't speak. (To be continued.) )
