Chapter 65: Hunting in the Mountains (1)
Tang Xiao and Wu Jue sat side by side on the stone steps, looking up at the starry sky, silent.
How long has it been since my heart has been so peaceful as it is today?
Tang Xiao sighed secretly, and a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes. A few months ago, his mother accompanied him to look at the starry sky like today, and whispered: worry-free, you must be worry-free for the rest of your life......
Memories of the past suddenly came to mind, but in just a few months, he felt as if a long, long time had passed.
"What are you thinking?"
Tang Xiao turned his head and glanced at Wu Jue: "What about you?" What are you thinking? ”
"Yanbei." Wu Jue whispered two words, lowered his head, and bit his lip lightly.
"I'm thinking about Jingzhou." Tang Xiao chuckled lightly and asked, "When you went to Tang Su's Mansion today, you saw the two people of the Li family?" ”
Wu Jue nodded and said, "The Li family came to Beijing this time to establish a prince. ”
"The Li family supports Tang Su?"
"Not only the Li family, but also the Taiyuan Wang family, as well as the major families of Guanlong."
Hearing this, Tang Xiao frowned and looked solemn.
If Uncle Huang really planned to make Tang Su the crown prince, he would not have delayed it until now. Why are these families so eager to plan this?
Since Wu Jue knew about this and went to Tang Su's mansion today, did he also plan to support Tang Su?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao turned his head and asked, "They want to win you over?" ”
Wu Yu glanced at Tang Xiao sideways, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Who is the prince, what does it matter to me?" Brother Junxian took me to the Great Prince's Mansion today to meet the people of the Li family. ”
The Li family only came to two gentlemen this time, I heard that Li Chengdao was lustful as life, and Li Chengde was addicted to gambling, Tang Xiao didn't think that Wu Jue would go to see these two straw bales. Could it be that the Li family is really in charge of the Li family's visit to Beijing this time?
"You'd better not have anything to do with the Li family."
Wu Jue looked at Tang Xiao with a serious face, and noticed the jealousy that flashed in his eyes.
"Why?"
Tang Xiao waved his hand a little impatiently, and said, "In short, you'd better stay away from those people in the Li family, and your righteous brother, you can know that he is not a good person when he hears the name." ”
"Your name doesn't look like a good guy either!"
Seeing Wu Jue's angry appearance, Tang Xiao suddenly felt sour in his heart. He pursed his lips and said, "That righteous brother of yours can come to Chang'an with the people of the Li family this time, and his status in the Li family must be extraordinary." Maybe that Li Junxian has already taken refuge in the Li family, have you never doubted it? ”
In the afternoon, Tang Xiao had already learned from Wu Jue that the battle in Yanbei City three years ago should have the shadow of the Li clan in Longxi behind it.
The relationship between the Li family and the Turks in Longxi is unclear, even if Tang Xiao does not investigate, it can be affirmed that the Li family is in cahoots with the Turks. In the history of his previous life, Li Yuan declared himself a vassal to the Turks against the Sui, but he was a heavy hammer.
Tang Xiao's words made Wu Xiao stunned, she looked at Tang Xiao with some anger, and said, "What you said just now, I shouldn't have heard it." From today on, if you slander Brother Junxian again, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”
Hearing this, Tang Xiao smiled helplessly, diverted the topic and asked, "Will you go back to Chang'an City tomorrow?" ”
"Is there something wrong?"
"Tomorrow Wang Shiyong and I will go hunting in the mountains, do you want to go together?"
Wu Jue wanted to refuse, but seeing Tang Xiao's expectant gaze, he nodded and agreed. still remembers the first time she saw Tang Xiao in Nufang, Wu Jue felt that there was something inexplicable in this man that attracted her.
Wu Jue had a secret in his heart that he had never told anyone.
For as long as she can remember, she has had some very strange dreams. In the dream, she lived in a very strange world, but when she woke up, she couldn't remember anything.
However, the reality of the dream is deeply engraved in her heart, making her feel as if she has really lived in a dream.
Everything she saw in the Grange today made her feel inexplicably familiar, as if she had known these things before.
Wu Jue looked up at the starry sky and muttered, "You say...... Do people have past lives? ”
Tang Xiao looked at Wu Jue stupidly, and his expression suddenly froze on his face.
Past......
Cold wind, snow, inky night, long silence.
The next day, early in the morning.
Du Ruhui rubbed his head and came to the courtyard, and saw Tang Xiao practicing swords, so he stood aside with his hands.
After a moment, Tang Xiao put away his sword and asked with a smile: "Mr. came over early in the morning, could it be that he wants to drink with Wuwu again?" ”
"Your Highness, don't mention this matter again. Du didn't have a drunken gaffe yesterday, right? ”
Du Ruhui smiled awkwardly, silently regretting it in his heart. Yesterday the two of them drank and forgot that the wine produced by the Grange Winery was a fine spirit.
"Sir, don't you remember?"
Du Ruhui frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't remember what he said and did after drinking yesterday.
"Your Highness, if Du was rude yesterday, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Tang Xiao wanted to ask Du Ruhui what the relationship was with his father, but when he saw Wu Yu coming out of the house, he had to give up.
At this moment, Du Ruhui also saw Wu Jue, and in surprise, he secretly handed Tang Xiao a strange look.
When Wu Jue saw Du Ruhui, his footsteps paused, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
After the two said hello and exchanged a few words, Du Ruhui made an excuse and left quickly.
In the early morning, the chill has not subsided.
Wang Shiyong carried a compound bow on his back and a long knife at his waist, and walked in the front. Tang Xiao and Wu Jue each held a sword and followed behind. It didn't take long for the three of them to come to a valley.
The snow covers the mountains and fields, and the morning glow prints the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest in front of you is covered with snow and ice picks, which is very beautiful in the sun.
"Your Highness, Gongzi Xu, this is the Luofeng Valley. Let's go into the mountains from here, and we can go directly to the mountains. ”
About half an hour, the three of them walked out of the bamboo forest and climbed up the slopes of the valley.
The breath in the valley is cold, and the muscles and bones of the head are strong. Its meaning is depressed, and the mountains and rivers are lonely. There is a howl of the wind like a ghost, and the beginning of the wind is sluggish, rushing and slamming, like waves and night terrors, and the wind and rain are coming.
"Shiyong, why is it so windy?" Tang Xiao asked loudly with squinted eyes.
Wang Shiyong leaned sideways and replied loudly: "Your Highness, this Luofeng Valley is also called the Wild Wind Valley, and strong winds often blow in the valley. My subordinates don't know that there will be a strong wind in the valley today, Your Highness, are we still going forward? ”
Tang Xiao looked back at Wu Yu and asked, "Do you want to continue walking inside?" ”
"Keep walking."
Seeing Wu Jue's disdainful eyes, Tang Xiao was depressed for a while.
The noon sun highlights a bit of warmth in this cold wind. The three of them had already walked out of the valley at this moment and sat under a tree to rest.
Tang Xiao took out the beef wrapped in paper from his arms and handed it to Wu Jue: "Here you go, eat something." ”
At this moment, Wu Jue's face also showed a little tiredness, and his hair was slightly messy. The wind in the valley just now was so strong that it was hard to take every step.
"Your Highness, past this path, there will be a herd of deer in that forest." Wang Shiyong pointed to a path in front of him and said, "Please be careful with Your Highness and Xu Gongzi, there are often wild boars and wolves in this vicinity." ”
