Two years later. Spring. The eastern suburbs of Kyoto. The lord of the country of Li hunted.

For a while, birds and beasts neighed, and the forest wind hunted.

The prince, the guards, the son, and the wife all rushed to grab it, all wanting to take this opportunity to show their style.

In the depths of the dense forest, "brush-", with a single sound, three arrows pierced the sky, and before they could fall, three long arrows followed closely behind, and so continuously that a dense circular cage was formed in the open space in a moment.

The hare jumps, the elk panics, and the roe deer porcupine all escape in the cage!

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Jin Se's archery skills are really amazing!" A man in pale green clothes walked out from behind the tree and smiled slightly. It's Chengluan.

The woman who shot the arrow was me.

I also smiled back and said, "The prince has won the award." After not seeing him for a few days, King Luan is also more personable, handsome and abnormal. ”

In the past two years, Cheng Luan first approached me as Ah Cheng, and often sent people to send some things to Ningyuan Wangfu to me, and when he saw that I did not refuse, he directly informed me of his identity as Luan Wang, and often came to the mansion to find me.

Cheng Hao saw that he didn't want to harm me, so he also let him go. And the jewelry and jade he sent naturally sent Gao Da and Gao Er to Qingyou Flower Valley.

At this time, Cheng Luan saw me praising him, and he smiled even more.

I took out the long rope I had prepared and prepared to string these living creatures together. In this round-up, rewards will be based on the number of prey, and there are about twelve or thirteen in my cage. In addition to the previous hunting, there are more than forty of them.

King Luan came over and wanted to help me.

As soon as I sensed his breath, I instinctively ducked to the side. In the middle of this dodge, a pheasant clucked and flapped its wings and flew away.

But before it could fly away, King Luan grabbed it quickly and threw the pheasant into a nearby tree at random!

The pheasant screamed, his neck broke, and he lost his breath when he tilted to one side.

I froze there. I heard the roar in my ears.

Watching the dead pheasant grow its beak, it seemed desperately trying to make a final chirp. I seem to have seen my parents and sister die many years ago.

"It's okay, it's good that I caught the brute. Jinse, be careful. Cheng Luan was carrying a pheasant.

I held the rope tightly until my fingers turned white and blood gradually oozed out, and I suppressed the hatred in my heart.

"King Xie Luan." My voice trembled.

In the past two years, in Ningyuan Palace, Cheng Hao taught me not only archery and the art of war, but also forbearance.

He took the two strings of prey I had put on the tree and carried them on his shoulders.

He seemed to be in a very good mood, and his martial arts were mediocre, but he walked extremely fast at this time, and he didn't care about the screaming and fluttering of those prey on his shoulders.

I shook the Cloud Bow in my hand. Look around.

It is a wooded area with intertwined roots, and only sunlight shines through the dense foliage gaps, sprinkling tiny specks of light.

If I kill him from behind at this time, no one will be able to find out, there are no eyes on the sword, and everyone's arrows are the same, no one will suspect me.

He's five feet away from me.

I felt an arrow from the quiver.

He turned around and called, "Jinse, hurry up, don't miss the time to reward!" He turned back and walked on.

Take a bow. Pull the strings.

No, the cause of death of his parents has not yet been investigated, and the battle that caused Cheng Hao's leg disease is still a mystery, whether it was the Night Ghost King who killed Hua Zhiyan two years ago...... He can't die yet.

I put the arrow back in the quiver and hurried to catch up with him.

He turned to me and smiled, a bright smile.

I was in a trance for a while, is this person really King Luan, whose hands are covered with blood and who has countless unjust cases behind him?

When I returned to the sidelines, I found that many people had already returned.

The open space enclosed by the fence by the forest is full of princes and grandsons, dressed in brocade clothes.

Standing on the high platform of the battle, there stood a man in a luxurious purple robe, although he was over half a hundred years old, but there was no fatigue on his face. At this time, he smiled at the corner of his lips, and his eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation.

This is the legend that his hands were stained with the blood of his father and brother to get the throne of the Li State - Cheng Shinan.

On his left hand sat Ningyuan Wang Chenghao, and Qinghe stood beside him. On the right hand side is King Yu.

At this time, King Yu saw me and Cheng Luan walking out of the forest side by side, and couldn't help laughing: "King Luan also has today, looking at you like this, I really don't know if it's your prey, or this group of beasts is hunting you?" ”

I turned my head to look at it and couldn't help but laugh.

Cheng Luan had two strings of prey on his shoulders, but because he was a living animal, the fur of the pheasant and the rabbit actually touched his head and face. When he unloaded his prey with a calm face, everyone in the outfield laughed.

It was his spotless pale blue robe, and there were feces running down one by one. It looks extremely embarrassing.

I struggled to hold back the smile. He looked at him apologetically.

He waved his hand and said nothing.

"Luan'er, you are smiling at the blister, but you have put a lot of effort into it!" It was the lord of the country who spoke, Cheng Shinan.

Cheng Luan glanced at me, and arched his hand towards Cheng Shinan and said, "What my father said is very true. ”

I saw Cheng Hao next to the lord of the country with an unhappy face.

Cheng Shinan looked at me: "Are you Hao'er's maidservant?" ”

I was about to nod, but Cheng Hao said, "Father, Jin Se is not a maid. ”

"Oh? And who is she? Cheng Shinan seems to be interested.

"I know", it was Cheng Yu who spoke, "This beautiful woman is called Jin Se, she owes King Ning Yuan a big favor, King Ning Yuan left her in the mansion, I wanted this woman two years ago, and he didn't let it." ”

This King Yu is really good at instigating, and his seemingly casual words point out the weight of my heart in Cheng Hao. Contacting what Cheng Luan did today, it will make the lord of the country think that the two of them are unhappy because they are fighting for me.

"So, Jinse, which of my two sons do you like?" Cheng Shinan asked casually, but asking me this in front of everyone also inadvertently put me to death.

Wait, my mind moved, isn't it, he's using me to provoke the relationship between the two?

A thought suddenly sprung up in his heart, this Cheng Shinan is by no means a good person!

Looking up, Cheng Hao was also looking down at me, as if he could help me no matter how I answered.

I said, "Jin Se is grateful for the great virtue of the two princes," Speaking of this, my eyes were already shining with tears, "However, Jin Se already has a good person in his heart, and the two princes love him, and Jin Se is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay him......," I sobbed softly.

At this time, the corners of Cheng Hao's mouth raised slightly, as if he knew what I was going to say next. But it was only for a moment, and his face was as usual. Qinghe raised his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, and immediately sank his face and was silent.

King Luan beside him was stunned: "Who is it, why haven't I heard you mention it?" ”

"The prince is forgiving, if Jin Se knew the prince's intentions, he would have informed the prince as soon as possible, so as not to disappoint the prince's good intentions." I wiped my tears with my hands, and my voice grew deeper.

"Jinse, you boldly say it, Lone is in charge of you!" Cheng Shinan is still pretending to be a good person.

I slowly wiped away my tears, my thoughts kept flowing, and after a long time, I said: "When Jin Se was young, he was concerned about one person, and the two of us were in love, and they had talked about marriage, but that person suddenly fell ill and died. Jin Se was sad in his heart, and he still can't forget it......" After speaking, he became sad again, and he couldn't stop crying.

Among the kings and grandchildren, there are many people who bring their families to hunt, and the woman is already sentimental, and when she heard this, some people also cried sadly, and there was a sigh among the people.

"That's it, Jin Se is such a loving woman, and it is your blessing that you two get her." Cheng Shinan was really not simple, and in the end he still intended to provoke the two.

When I turned my head, Cheng Luan was looking at me with tenderness on his face.

The feathers on his head were still there, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

After returning from the hunting ground and entering the gate of Ningyuan Palace, a girl in pink clothes ran towards me: "Sister Jinse, Sister Jinse, I left you a pastry, come and eat!" ”

This girl is Xiao Nan, and in the past two years, she has grown a lot taller.

At this time, when she saw Cheng Hao on the side, Fang stuck out her tongue and saluted.

"Pastry?" I'm a little confused.

"It was sent by Xiao Jiu, her mother made it herself, Xiao Jiu specially explained, we can only eat it if you eat it!" Xiao Nan giggled.

As it turned out, Xiao Jiu and his family had moved to live in the Zhuangzi I bought outside the city, and since they knew that I was the owner of the Zhuangzi, they often brought some vegetables, melons, fruits, and homemade food.

I glanced at Cheng Hao, and said to Xiao Nan: "You go and pick out a few beautiful pastries and send them to the prince's room, and you can divide the rest, my sister can't eat it." ”

What I saw in the forest today made my blood surge, and I really couldn't eat it.

When Xiao Nan heard this, he grinned, hurriedly saluted and ran away.

"Hmph." Cheng Hao suddenly snorted coldly.

I estimated that he was a little unhappy because the people in his house were actually the closest to me, so he hurriedly interrupted: "It is also common for children to be greedy. ”

Cheng Hao spoke leisurely: "Didn't you go to pay tribute to your fiancé who died of illness?" ”

And he spoke of the hunting ground.

I pouted: "If the prince didn't help me at that time, it would be just a shame for me to be embarrassed in front of so many people?" ”

Cheng Hao smiled: "It's not the first time for you. ”

I...... He didn't seem to be wrong.

Cheng Hao suddenly said: "However, do you think Cheng Shinan will really believe your nonsense?" ”

He does not call the lord of the country, nor does he call his father, but he calls Cheng Shinan directly.

I was a little surprised, so I looked at him silently.

He looked sideways at me, "How do you feel when you see him today?" ”

If he didn't ask, I wouldn't dare to say anything, after all, they were father and son.

But since I asked, I confessed, "The lord of the country, maybe he is planning something." ”

Cheng Hao suddenly laughed loudly: "Planning? Why is he planning now? There seemed to be a slight injustice in the laughter.

I've never seen Cheng Hao like this, and I'm a little stunned, and I'm busy looking at Qinghe who is pushing a wheelchair.

Qinghe only glanced at me quickly and quietly shook his head at me.

After being silent for a long time, Cheng Hao asked me; "Jinse, are you afraid?"
