Chapter 33: The Burning of the Lamb (1)

"You two are really, how many sons of generals' families are vying to be the companions of the prince, but you are good, not only do you not do it, but you also want to escape." The maid named Ushima brought goat's milk to White Flame and Meteor Frost. Although he had drunk it many times, Bai Yan still couldn't get used to the smell of goat's milk.

White Flame and Meteor Frost tried to escape several times, but after they left the city gate, there was an endless grassland, they didn't know which direction the Wing Forest was, and they were injured, and in the end, Hu Xie always rode a horse to find them and bring them back to the city.

"Why do so many people want to be his henchmen?"

"Follower? It's okay, but when the prince becomes the big leader, his companions will be generals, which is not something that ordinary followers can do. Look at General Muraer, he used to be the big leader and the companion of the prince, otherwise how could the big leader trust him so much. "Ushima seems to be trying her best to persuade Bai Yan to be the companion of Hu Xie.

"Oh yes, in a few days it will be the Lamb Burning Festival, the grandest festival of our barbarians, you guys quickly heal your wounds, and have a good time then." Bai Yan's impression of Ushima is still good, she always has a loving smile that reminds him of his mother.

In the past few mornings, Bai Yan found that Hu Xie would get up early to practice guns outside the tent, and he seemed to be more diligent than before.

Early in the morning of the day before the Lamb Burning Festival, Hu Xie went out with his gun early, and Bai Yan also woke up, and when he heard the sound of the spear breaking outside the tent, he got up curiously and wanted to go out to have a look.

Bai Yan opened the curtain of the door and saw Hu Xie dancing with a gun, Hu Xie's marksmanship had a fierce wind, probably due to the long-term training on the battlefield, and every move was cold and murderous.

Bai Yan watched for a long time, and Hu Xie kept pretending not to find him, but suddenly, Hu Xie pushed to the weapon rack next to him, picked up a knife with a gun, and threw it directly at Bai Yan, and then he stabbed Bai Yan with a gun, the whole process happened between the lightning and flint, Bai Yan had no chance to dodge at all, so he reached out and grabbed the Xia knife and blocked Hu Xie's attack with a knife.

"After watching it for so long, don't you want to practice?" There was a hint of excitement in Hu Xie's eyes.

"Okay, if you win against me, I'll be your companion." White Flame was also interested.

"Okay, don't go back." Hu Xie then attacked with a gun.

Bai Yan used his knife to block Hu Xie's spear to the side, and slashed at Hu Xie along the handle of the gun, Hu Xie abandoned the gun and turned around when he saw the situation, turned to the back of Bai Yan to catch the spear again, and swept again......

Meteor Frost watched the two of them compete in front of the tent, sitting silently and watching, the two daggers still hanging on their waists.

The sun came out, and Bai Yan and Hu Xie abandoned their knives and guns, and sat on the ground panting.

"You didn't beat me, at most it was a tie, and I still can't be your companion."

"Hmph, next time, I'll definitely knock you down!" Hu Xie seemed to be a little indignant.

"Oh yes, why have you gotten up earlier than before in the past two days, and you are much more diligent in practicing guns than before?" Bai Yan spoke out the question in his heart.

"Burning the Lamb Festival", Hu Xie stood up again and picked up the gun, "There will be a competition during the Burning Lamb Festival, and at that time, the young people of the whole capital will come to show their strength, I am the son of the world, I can't lose." Hu Xie looked back at Bai Yan and then at Meteor Frost, but some words still didn't come out.

"Oh yes, no wonder you're working so hard." Bai Yan seemed to be talking to himself, because Hu Xie had gone to practice guns again.
