Chapter 45: The Marriage Storm (I)

Today is the first day of hunting, the sky is clear, the breeze is gusting, it is a good weather for hunting.

"Brother Qiu!" Liu Xiong and Wei Zijie walked towards Qiu Chulin and Lime from not far away.

"Brother Liu, Brother Zijie." Qiu Chulin replied.

"Brother Qiu, this year, Brother Zijie and I decided to go to the hunting ground to have some training, and I hope that Brother Qiu will give me more guidance!" Liu Xiong said with a smile.

"There is a lot of danger in the hunting grounds, and it would be nice if we could take care of each other." Qiu Chulin said.

"If I were an enemy brother and had a beautiful woman by my side, I would never waste time participating in the hunt." Wei Zijie said with a smile, his eyes seemed to be glued to Lime, "Instead of competing with the juniors who have never entered the hunting ground, it is better to spend more time with the beauties and enjoy the bliss of the world." ”

"Brother Zijie's words are wrong. Imagine when you are fighting for your life and beasts in the hunting ground, there is a beautiful woman outside the field, who puts a heart on you, fears for you, looks forward to you for the prime minister, your heart is lovesick, and your heart is like an arrow, how sour and bitter it is; When you return triumphantly, the beautiful woman greets you with tears, and pretends to be angry and feels sorry for you, you are lovesick and soft in your arms, and how sweet it tastes. In just seven days, why not taste the five flavors of life? Qiu Chulin grabbed the slender waist of the lime with his long arms, he was domineering and strong, as if he was declaring sovereignty, "Ling'er, am I right?" ”

Lime blushed instantly, she bit her lower lip, and was infinitely shy, "Since Childe knows that Ning'er is worried, don't let Ning'er worry and return safely." ”

After Lime finished speaking, he was shocked into a cold sweat, this play is not worth it, it is too worthless.

Qiu Chulin's sudden cooperation surprised Qiu Chulin, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart burst into bloom and smiled. It turns out that she has such naughty times, if only she could be so casual and naughty every day.

Lime looked at him, and for a moment, as if she couldn't get enough of it, she wanted to imprint this smile in her mind, she hadn't seen such a clean smile in a long time.

The elder brother's laughter is always accompanied by calculation because of his plans; Xiansi's laughter is always accompanied by heaviness because of his heart; And Xiu Yi's smile is sometimes arbitrary, sometimes heavy, sometimes obscure, and the tenderness he gives her is like the warm sun in winter reaching the heart, meticulous. She was tempted, but she was afraid of his obscurity.

And Qiu Chulin's laughter is not ridicule, sneering or ridicule, not flattery, not perfunctory, it is a heartfelt and heartfelt laugh, there is no purpose, not for utilitarianism, just for fun. And the reason why he is happy is just because he cooperated with him in a scene and teased each other together, it's so simple.

"Lemon, what's wrong?" Qiu Chulin asked with concern.

"It's fine." Lime came back to her senses, only to realize that she was still being held by him at the moment, the play had ended, the audience was over, he still didn't let go, Lime raised his hand and pushed, and got out of that arm.

"The hunt is about to begin, come with me." Suddenly feeling empty in his arms, Qiu Chulin smiled awkwardly, and put down his right hand raised in the air, "I can only go out of the hunting ground in seven days, and when I am not there, Xiyang will protect you, there are many pastimes outside the hunting ground in the past seven days, if you are bored, let Xiyang accompany you to take a look." ”

"Childe can rest assured to hunt beasts, lime and other children triumphant." Lime Road.

In this year's hunting ground, the most terrifying thing is not the tiger and the hungry wolf, but the deceitful human heart.

Hongxia Yike brought a number of close sons of the family to the hunting ground, and his heart can be revealed; And the secret letter from the regent palace that Qiu Chulin received that night was probably also ordered to kill Hongxia Yike in the hunting ground, so the fight between Qiu Chulin and Hongxia Yike was a foregone conclusion.

Qiu Chulin was dressed lightly, only carrying a water bag and a dagger, but unlike previous years, this year he brought a sword.

A group of nearly 20 people, who drank the Zhuangxing wine given by the emperor, left the camp on horseback under the attention of the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials, and rushed to the hunting ground thirty miles away.

After they left, all kinds of competitions in the camp also kicked off, riding horses and archery, fighting challenges, and all kinds of martial arts games emerged one after another.

Qiu Xiyang was dragged to spar, and Lime stood alone behind Qiu Chulin's seat, his eyes were in the direction of the hunting ground, and he was calculating how to enter the arena in his heart.

Shuochu's hunting ground is an inaccessible alpine dense forest, full of dangers, the situation is changing rapidly, Hongxia Yike and others have no experience in living in the hunting ground, so even if Hongxia Yike finds several helpers, it is still at a disadvantage, once Hongxia Yike dies in the field, her previous efforts will be in vain.

Lime was contemplating his eyebrows, but he heard bursts of cheers not far away, it turned out to be a woman in orange who took the stage to fight and knocked the champion out of the ring. Even though the lime was far away, a bright red whip mark could still be seen on the main face of the ring.

"Yes, yes!" Emperor Hongxia Zuofeng got up and clapped his hands and applauded, "The tiger father has no dog girl, and Anguo is a good blessing!" ”

When the ministers saw the emperor get up, they didn't dare to sit, so they hurriedly got up and echoed the emperor with every word, appreciating and flattering An Guohou, for fear that they would be behind others.

Lime looked at the red-faced emperor and was very puzzled, was this really the uncle who could cough up blood when Mai Cheng came to visit that night? Lime stared at it for a long time, but she didn't see any flaws, the person was still the same person, but how did this serious illness that had been contracted for many years suddenly healed?

Lime was puzzled when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the Emperor's attendants, a handsome old man who was moving back, trying to hide himself behind his retinue.

Lime pursed her lips, everything was figured out, what to hide, afraid that she would see it? I don't know what novelty the master was attracted to this time.

"Ziyue girl is excellent in martial arts at a young age, she really has the courage of a woman, and An Guohou has a good way to teach her daughter!" Hongxia Zuo Feng smiled, "Ziyue girl, what reward do you want!" ”

"The emperor praised falsely, Ziyue, this girl grew up in the army with her ministers since she was a child, and she has learned some martial arts over the years, but she really doesn't dare to be a 'woman'. As for the reward, just look at it, this girl in the province is proud and complacent, and it doesn't work. An Guohou Xu Yong got up and said.

"My father looks down on me again." Xu Ziyue stood behind Xu Yong and said dissatisfiedly.

"You girl, shut up!" Xu Yong hurriedly stopped.

"An Guohou doesn't have to be too humble." Hongxia Zuofeng said, "Ziyue is the county lord of my family, so she naturally deserves the word 'woman'. Say, Ziyue girl, what reward do you want? ”

"Back to the emperor, Ziyue doesn't want to reward him." Xu Ziyue replied obediently.

"Ziyue is so well-behaved and sensible, I will be even more rewarded." Hongxia Zuofeng said, "An Guohou, I remember, Ziyue is seventeen years old this year, do you have a marriage contract?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the little girl is seventeen years old this year, and there is no marriage contract yet." An Guohou replied.

"It's just right, the general Qiu Chulin is handsome and good, his appearance is extraordinary, and he hasn't married a wife yet. I see that this Qiu Chulin and Ziyue are really talented and beautiful, as suitable as if they were made in heaven, and if they can tie the knot, it will be a beautiful thing. Hongxia Zuofeng said, turning his head to look at Yan Qiyang, "I will decree the marriage of these two today, and after seven days, Qiu Chulin will come out of the hunting ground, and he will choose a good day and an auspicious day to complete the marriage, what do the regent and the Marquis of An Guo want?" ”

"The ministers are all under the orders of the emperor." Xu Yong hurriedly said.

When Xu Ziyue heard her father say this, her heart finally fell, and she could finally get her wish and marry the handsome and martial general she had admired for a long time.

Yan Qiyang was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed, he got up and arched his hand and said, "The emperor doesn't know, Lin'er already has a sweetheart, and when he returned to Beijing a few days ago, he came to report to the minister, saying that he would marry in a few days. ”

"Oh? I don't know which family's daughter has this honor and can be favored by the general? Hongxia Zuofeng's face stiffened slightly, and then asked.

"It's not the daughter of the minister's family, but the woman that Lin'er brought back at the border a few days ago." Strictly abandon the yang road.

As soon as Yan Qiyang said this, everyone's eyes gathered on the woman standing respectfully behind Qiu Chulin's seat, and there were envy, incomprehension, and disdain in those many eyes, and one of them was the most resentful, which came from Xu Ziyue.

Lime narrowed her eyes, as if she didn't notice it, and Yan Qiyang wanted to lead the fire to her.

"It's just a mountain girl, if Qiu Chulin likes it, she can barely be accepted as a concubine, but the lady of the main room has to be a young lady from a famous family to be considered a good match." Hongxia Zuofeng was also stunned when he saw that it was lime, but immediately he became happy again.

The marriage he pointed out to Qiu Chulin, Yan Qiyang would definitely not agree, and it was difficult to let Qiu Chulin take the initiative to accept the decree, so it was better for her to accept the holy decree on behalf of Qiu Chulin. Since she is Qiu Chulin's sweetheart, Qiu Chulin will definitely not blame her, on the contrary, she will obey the holy decree for her life.

"What the emperor said is very true, but Lin'er has a stubborn personality, although the minister is his father-in-law, but things like marrying must also follow his own wishes, and the minister is really not good at making decisions for him." Strictly abandon the yang road.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have a way." Xu Guifei, who was sitting next to Hongxia Zuo Feng and had not spoken, suddenly said softly.

"Concubine, please speak." Hongxia Zuofeng Road.

"Your Majesty, what do you think, this girl Ziyue is the niece of the concubine, the niece of the emperor, the daughter of the golden branches and jade leaves, the proud daughter of the sky, and the county lord of the emperor, so she is naturally worthy of being a general. Moreover, Ziyue is naturally beautiful, beautiful as a fairy, both good at literature and martial arts, that is one in a million, and the concubine feels that there is no woman in this world who is qualified to marry the general except Ziyue. Xu Guifei said earnestly, "Today, the general is not present, if he is, he will definitely admire Ziyue and gladly accept the emperor's favor." ”

"What does the concubine think?" Hongxia Zuo Feng asked very cooperatively.

"If the general goes out of the hunting ground and finds that he has missed such a good wife, he will beat his chest and his feet and regret his intestines." Xu Guifei smiled skillfully, "The concubine thinks that first let the steward of the General's Mansion take over the holy decree for the general, and the right should add another good thing to the general's victory." ”

"What the concubine said won my heart." Hongxia Zuo Feng said with relief, it has always been Xu Guifei who knows her heart best, "Then according to what Concubine Ai said, find the steward of the General's Mansion to take over the order for Qiu Chulin." Vice General Qiu, before Qiu Chulin leaves, can he explain who will take care of things? ”

"Back to the emperor." Qiu Xiyang stepped forward and saluted, he hesitated for a moment and said, "The general has an order, when he is not in the mansion, all the affairs of the general's mansion are in charge of the lime girl." ”

Miss Lime is quick and talented, and she is the only one in the entire general's mansion who can prevent this disaster for the general.
