20. I fell into the pit

As the emperor, of course, I have to be the first to hunt in the hunting ground, so that the future guards and courtiers can enter. I rode a horse ahead of everyone, followed by the imperial brother, followed by the envoys of Western Xia and Dayan.

"The winner of this hunt will be given ten thousand taels of gold." After I finished speaking, I took the lead and headed out into the depths of the hunting ground.

"It seems that this time the royal brother is still bound to win the first." Gu Chen's voice sounded behind me, I stopped my horse, turned around slightly, and saw Gu Chen and Bai Qingyan riding over.

I raised my eyebrows: "It doesn't matter if you don't have the first place, it's just that I promised Bao Jia to help her hunt rabbits and foxes." Tut-tut...... Bao Jia is afraid that he knows that you can't do it...... That's why I was entrusted. ”

Gu Chen's face darkened: "Hmph, if Baojia wants it, I will go hunting." So saying, he waved his whip and ran away.

I shrugged my shoulders and looked at Bai Qingyan, who was still in place: "Aren't you chasing after me?" ”

Bai Qingyan rode to my side, even in the killing field, he was still dressed in a plain white robe, looking spotless. He looked at me with a shallow smile in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you seem to have changed a lot." ”

I turned my horse's head and walked slowly forward, and he followed me. I thought about it and replied: "Xu is close to Zhu, red and black." ”

Bai Qingyan looked at me strangely: "Who is Your Majesty approaching?" ”

I smiled and didn't say anything more. Xu I have been with Yan Xiaoran for a long time, and I have become the same as him, cheap?

There was a deer grazing in front of me, and I picked up an arrow and drew the bowstring. With a whoosh, the arrow feathers pierced through the grass and pierced the heart of the deer.

"Your Majesty's archery skills have improved."

I nodded, "Hmm...... Are you worshipping me, or are you praising me? ”

Bai Qingyan looked at me with a slightly stunned expression, and then he also smiled: "It can be regarded as worshipping His Majesty." As he spoke, he suddenly took out his bow and pointed it at me.

Between the lightning flashes, I didn't know what was going on, so I could only watch dumbfounded as he aimed his bow and arrow at me.

With a whoosh, the arrow in his hand had already been fired, and I slammed my eyes shut. There was the sound of arrows coming to my ears, with the sound of wind, and then a muffled sound. I quietly opened my eyes, and there was an arrow feather standing on the tree next to me, and one fell from the ground next to me.

Bai Qingyan looked behind me with a calm face.

I turned my head suddenly, and Duan Shuyan, the great prince of Western Xia, just put away his bow and arrows, stood in front of a group of envoys, looked at me gloomily and smiled.

Duan Shuyan arched his hand and said: "Lord Bai is very skilled, but it's a pity that the mountain deer just now ran away." He gave me a mocking look, and with a group of people turned to go somewhere else.

I gritted my teeth, in my territory, I still dare to scare me like this. Want to go? It's not that easy.

I took out an arrow and aimed it at Duan Shuyan's head, and Bai Qingyan beside me whispered: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive." ”

Duan Shuyan in front heard the voice and turned to look over, I let go, the arrow feather swished through his bundle of hair, the arrow shattered the hosta on his head, and the whole arrow directly penetrated into his bundle of hair, instead of the hosta to fix his bundle of hair.

The envoy on the opposite side was suddenly stunned, looking at the new look of his eldest prince, he silently turned his face away, and couldn't bear to look at it directly. Duan Shuyan looked at me with a blue face, eager to get rid of me as soon as possible.

I laughed: "Actually, I have always thought that your hosta is not very good-looking. "It turns out that you should never leave your back to your enemies, especially your rivals in love.

Bai Qingyan sighed: "Your Majesty is really stubborn, the eldest prince is a guest, His Majesty is the lord, and I still hope that the eldest prince Haihan." I could hear that although he was apologizing for me, he was also warning Duan Shuyan not to be impulsive and to think about where he was first.

Duan Shuyan snorted coldly, broke off the two ends of the arrow, and threw his sleeves away.

――――

Bai Qingyan and I continued to hunt, basically I was doing it along the way, and he was watching from the sidelines. I wondered: "You're so good, why don't you fight?" "Just now he blocked Duan Shuyan's arrow with an arrow, and you can see that his archery skills are better than mine, but why did he only hunt one or two in previous years?

"Isn't it okay to hunt a little more?" He said indifferently.

I frowned: "You're letting me?" ”

He looked at me, with a faint smile in his clear eyes, and the black green silk and the white clothes on his body were mixed together, black and white. Instead of answering my question, he asked me, "Why didn't you just dodge?" ”

I looked away and chuckled, "Because I know you won't hurt me." "Even if I saw him pointing an arrow at myself, I knew he wouldn't.

"Thank you." He hooked his lips inexplicably, as if he was in a good mood.

"Hey, there's a fox over there." Suddenly, I saw a golden fox not far away, which looked like a female. After hunting for so long, I finally saw one, I took out my bow and arrows, and was about to aim, who knew that the vigilance of the fox was quite high, and it ran away all of a sudden.

I patted my horse to chase after me, but Bai Qingyan still followed.

After chasing for a long time and not seeing the shadow of the fox again, I was a little discouraged: "I finally met, and I promised to hunt one for Bao Jia." ”

"It's already in the depths of the hunting ground, so let's go back, in case you encounter a fierce beast or danger, it's not good."

I waved my hand: "I have been to the hunting ground no less than ten times, and I have never encountered a wild beast, so rest assured that I will protect you." With that, I turned over and dismounted, and tied the Traceless to a tree on the side: "The fox disappeared around here, I will look for it, maybe I can find the fox nest." ”

This cunning fox told me to catch it, and I must skin it, hum.

As I searched, I listened to the sound, and I was really told to find it, and not far away, under the hollow of the tree, there was a cooing fox cry. I hurriedly waved my hand: "Bai Qingyan, come here, there seems to be a nest of little foxes here." ”

Bai Qingyan came over, and the two of us walked forward together, very carefully, I stepped into the trap......

"Ah......" My feet were empty, I didn't react to what was going on at all, and habitually reached out and pulled it, and took Bai Qingyan down with me.

Luckily it doesn't hurt.

I opened my eyes with a disgraced face, only to find that I was pressed against Bai Qingyan's body. "Bai Qingyan, are you okay?" He frowned with his eyes closed, as if in pain.

"Ahem...... 陛xià...... You come down...... I should be fine. ”

Me: "Oh, I'll come down now." ”

He reached out to help me down, but who knew it hit my chest, and we both froze.

Me: "...... w(Д)wAh......hhhhh

"Your Majesty, you ......" He also quickly withdrew his hand, and suddenly felt the fire in his palm. He looked at me, from top to bottom, from left to right, as if for the first time he was seriously looking at me.

I turned my face away, didn't dare to meet his gaze, and coughed lightly: "This ...... These are my pectorals! ”

Bai Qingyan suddenly smiled and asked, "Why are the pectoral muscles soft?" ”

"Hmm...... Because...... Because I ...... "I kicked the dirt under my feet, struggling with how to explain it.

"Because His Majesty is negligent in exercising, his pectoral muscles have become fat...... 陛xià forgot jì, last time in the Nanling Palace, that's how you explained it. Bai Qingyan got up and made this lie round for me in a funny way.

I nodded sharply, "yes, that's what it looks like...... And let's think about how we want to go up first. "This trap is a bit deep, at least five times as deep as mine, and there is no foothold, no matter how good the light work is, you can't get out.

He looked at me with a softness in his eyes that I had never seen before. I don't know if it's my delusion, but after falling out of the hole, he was much more cheerful...... Hmm, does Bai Qingyan like to fall in the hole?

I tried several times, but it didn't work, and I sat on the ground on the side with some frustration: "I can only wait for the guards to come to the rescue." ”

――――

When the time came for the hunt, all the people went back one after another. Shen Baojia looked forward to it, and when she saw Gu Chen come out, she was still very arrogant. Gu Chen threw a rabbit he caught alive into Shen Baojia's arms: "You let the imperial brother hunt for you, he will only bring you a dead one." ”

Shen Baojia was secretly happy, but he couldn't pull his face: "I like it too." ”

Liu Zhimeng on the side also entangled himself after seeing his brother come back: "Brother, where is my little rabbit?" ”

Liu Zhiyi

Yanagi no Dream screamed, the checkmate rabbit was still on the ground, and he almost cried in fright. The same people, how can there be such a big difference?

The corners of Shen Baojia's mouth twitched, and she silently retreated to Yan Xiaoran with the rabbit in her arms: "Cousin-in-law, why hasn't my cousin come yet?" ”

Yan Xiaoran glanced at her lightly: "Xu still wants to hunt a little more." ”

"No, my cousin is the first to come out every year......" Shen Baojia hooked his head and looked at the hunting ground: "Bai Shilang doesn't seem to have come either." ”

Yan Xiaoran: "......" He stood up abruptly and looked at Shen Baojia: "She is the first to come out every year?" ”

Shen Baojia nodded stupidly: "Yes......"

Yan Xiaoran frowned, leaving his position and walking in the direction of the hunting ground. When he passed by Gu Chen, he snatched the horse in his hand.

Shen Baojia chased behind: "Cousin-in-law, where are you going?" ”

"Your cousin may be in danger, you tell your father to send someone to search the hunting grounds." Yan Xiaoran said with a calm face, and glanced at Gu Chen, who suspected that Gu Chen had done it.

Gu Chen: "Look at what I'm doing, I don't know what's going on." ”

Yan Xiaoran snorted: "It's better not you." So saying, he turned on his horse and walked in the direction of the hunting ground.

Shen Baojia glared at Gu Chen and stomped his feet with tears in his eyes: "If my cousin has any three strengths and two shortcomings, I will ignore you again." ”

Gu Chen was heartbroken, the imperial sister-in-law is such a bastard! “…… You don't believe me like that? ”

Shen Baojia wiped his tears indiscriminately: "It's really not you?" She bit her lip: "I'll go find my father." ”
