After two days of rest, Zhu Qizhen led his ministers to start hunting. After the "thunder" bombardment that day, the animals were frightened, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they all panicked and fled in all directions.

Zhu Qizhen only shot a few small animals such as rabbits and pheasants, Zhang Ning was a little lucky, and shot a deer, and the other escorts didn't get much. That night, at Zhang Ning's suggestion, there were bonfires everywhere in the camp, and the soldiers washed and skinned the prey they shot, removed the internal organs, and barbecued them on the fire.

For a time, the aroma permeated the entire West Mountain.

Zhu Qizhen was very interested, roasted a rabbit himself, followed Zhang Ning's example, and turned the small wooden stick from time to time.

Zhang Ning asked the cook to cut off the front legs of the two deer, roast them on the fire, and when they turned, apply a layer of homemade sauce from time to time. In addition to helping Zhu Qizhen take care of the rabbits so as not to burn, he also glanced at a big stone in the distance from time to time, where Liu Nian was sitting.

Gu Chun knew that he was at a loss, so he let Liu Nian when hunting, and drove the prey he encountered to Liu Nian several times, but Liu Nian didn't appreciate it and let go of the prey.

The two didn't get much, especially Gu Chun, who only hunted a pheasant. His energy was all on Liu Nian, and he wanted Liu Nian to hunt more prey to mend the rift between the two.

Although under Zhang Ning's guidance, Liu Nian understood that he and Gu Chun were comrades, and they were on the battlefield and could hand over their backs to the other party's people, but they knew in their hearts that it was one thing, and it was another thing to see Gu Chun angry.

Isn't it time to go to war? Then allow me to be petty. Liu Nian decided to be willful and shook his face to Gu Chun.

How can Gu Chun know this, seeing that Liu Nian turned black when he saw him, he turned the horse's head and left, thinking that the two of them would become strangers from now on, and the brothers couldn't do it, could they not be in a hurry?

Zhu Qizhen ordered to eat the prey they shot at night, and the only thing Gu Chun could put on the fire was the pheasant. That's it, he still cares about Liu Nian, and turns his head to look at him from time to time, and the pheasant is almost not burned.

As for Liu Nian, he just walked around Gu Chun, and he didn't catch much prey, but he was not bad luck, he hit a fox, and this is what he put on the fire to roast at this time. He was so angry with Gu Chun that the fox picked it up and gnawed it before it was cooked.

Gu Chun baked a good mountain *** and ran to ask Liu Nian to try it, but Liu Nian glared back. He thought of Zhang Ning's side, there was an emperor sitting next to Zhang Ning, how could he dare to come over casually? had no choice but to go back, and Zhang Ning wanted to laugh when he looked lost.

Gu Chun also has this day.

Zhang Ning was not angry because Liu Nian didn't listen to him, as long as it was good, it was okay to let them go.

Zhu Qizhen washed his hands, took the Jinpa handed over by Jia Xiaosi and wiped his hands, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Ning smiling at the pile of bonfires in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you laughing at?" ”

This is the thought of getting married, happy right?

Zhu Qizhen didn't know the attitude of the Empress Dowager, and thought that after returning to the palace, King Zheng and Yang Shiqi would enter the palace, and then the Qin Tianjian would choose an auspicious day, and Zhang Ning would be able to enter the cave room as a groom.

Xiao Dengke, marrying two at the same time, can you not be happy?

Zhang Ning smiled and said: "Although Liu Nian, the minister's playmate when he was a child, did not participate in the exercise, he had some credits, and he was indispensable for the training of the sergeant of the Shenji Battalion, and I also asked Your Majesty to reward him as appropriate." ”

"Liu Nian?" Zhu Qizhen followed Zhang Ning's line of sight, and when he saw a face as black as the bottom of a pot, he couldn't help but suddenly say, "He was angry that he couldn't participate in the imperial parade?" How can I not be rewarded, the generals of the Shenji Battalion, I have a lot of rewards. ”

Except for Zhang Ning and the commanders of the three major battalions, who made the emperor's close ministers, who were rewarded by the emperor on the spot, the rewards of the rest of the people were reported by the Ministry of War. Isn't this that he didn't return to Beijing, and the Ministry of War hasn't reported it yet? Could it be that Liu Nian is angry about this?

Zhang Ning said: "The minister thanked Your Majesty for Liu Nian. Seeing that Zhu Qizhen looked puzzled, he had to explain: "He was angry with Gu Chun and felt betrayed." The minister has already dismissed him, and he wants to come and bet on the two of them. ”

Zhu Qizhen suddenly said with emotion: "It's really a young man's heart. Before the imperial grandmother was sick, how could I not be like this? Since he was in charge of government affairs, he has not been able to have such leisure again. ”

I can't help but feel that he can't feel it, every day is full of opportunities, there are so many government affairs that he can't finish it, and how many major military and political affairs are waiting for him to deal with, how can he have the leisure to be angry about such a trivial matter? For a while, he was a little envious of Liu Nian, and felt that he was true and unpretentious.

"Liu Nian and Chen are in the same year, half a month younger than Chen, and they are indeed a little capricious." Zhang Ning smiled and said, "He was unhappy that he didn't have the opportunity to show His Majesty the formation practiced by the sergeants. Actually, Gu Chun and him, who shows it, aren't they the same? ”

I see. Zhu Qizhen thought about it and instructed Jia Xiaosi: "Xuan Liu Nian come over." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Ning sincerely thanked him, Zhu Qizhen is good at this, he is approachable, and he is very good at thinking about the people around him. Zhang Ning said that Liu Nian was angry for missing the opportunity to perform in front of him, so he called him over, which was regarded as asking him to brush up on his sense of existence.

Of course, Zhang Ning understands this feeling.

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Some small things, you are very concerned." ”

Over there, Liu Nian tore off a fox leg and chewed hatefully, making Gu Chun's heart tremble and feeling like he was chewing his flesh.

Jia Xiaosi is a eunuch who can be used by the emperor's side, the new Dongchang factory duke, he waits by the emperor's side, that is an internal matter, but as soon as he leaves the emperor's side, which Wenchen military general dares not greet him with a smile? Some even warmly invited him to eat meat.

Jia Xiaosi excused himself all the way, came straight to Liu Nian, put his hands in his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Liu Nian, Your Majesty wants to see you, go with our family." ”

"What?" Liu Nian was stunned.

Everyone was shocked, at this time, the emperor didn't see the minister accompanying him, but he saw Liu Nian?

Liu Yu was not qualified to drive, Gu Xingzu pricked up his ears, and was shocked when he heard this. How can Liu Nian be summoned by the emperor?

"Father-in-law Jia, you're not wrong, right?" Liu Nian stood up in a panic, the fox leg in his hand was not right, and he stammered when he spoke.

"That's right." Jia Xiaosi smiled and said, "Marquis Zhang said that you were in a bad mood, so Your Majesty asked our family to call you over." ”

"......" was shocked all over the audience, and the commanders of the three battalions were even more shocked in their hearts, who didn't know that Zhang Ning was a red man in front of the emperor, but this red man was too weighty, right? It's simply ......

The civil officials turned their heads to look at Yang Shiqi, everyone was envious, jealous and hateful, and he had no regrets in this life if he got this good son-in-law.

Liu Nian was overjoyed, threw the half-bitten fox leg to the colleague next to him, wiped his hands on his body, restrained his hands and asked, "There is a father-in-law." ”

Jia Xiaosi nodded secretly, worthy of being Zhang Ning's playmate from childhood to adulthood, but he did not lack courtesy.

The two came to Zhu Qizhen one after the other, under the gaze of the soldiers of the three battalions and the civil officials and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty.

How could Zhang Ning not notice that there was silence on the camp? But he doesn't care, if he looks ahead, he can't do anything in this life.

"See Your Majesty." Liu Nian saluted, and glanced at Zhang Ning gratefully out of the corner of his eyes, good brother, this time he showed a big face.
