Chapter Eighty-Five: Tirelessly, All the Time
If not long ago, Zhen Yu was still complaining that Qingguo Gong was making a big fuss, and he actually borrowed the golden armor guard next to the queen to follow her.
Now, she was extremely glad to have such a master by her side.
Jin Jiawei was dressed in gold armor, holding a spear, wearing a shield at his waist, carrying a bow and arrows, and the weight on his body reached more than 100 catties, but his movements were very agile.
One of them moved ahead of Zhen Yu, and threw the spear in his hand from a distance, cutting off the arrow.
Then, he came to Yan Ran's side in an instant, and used his shield to block the arrow, which was already much weaker, and protected Yan Ran.
Xiao Zun then appeared far away in Yan Ran's field of vision, and the arrow just now was shot by him.
Yan Ran looked at the scene in front of her, as if she had returned to the moment when she was hunted down to the end of her life in her previous life.
Xiao Zun, who was riding a tall horse with a hideous face, pierced the air and whistled arrows, as well as Wen Rong'an, who fell in a pool of blood.
Yan Ran's eyes were covered with a layer of blood mist, she couldn't see anything but blood red, and despair was like vines tightly wrapped around her heart, constantly shrinking, suffocating her.
"Girl, what's wrong with you, don't scare the slave!"
"Sister Yan! Sister Yan! Yan ......"
The constant sound of calls in his ears made Yan Ran's consciousness gradually return.
Zhen Yu was grabbing Yan Ran's hand, because he was frightened, his hands were cold, his little face was pale, and his breath was short.
Yan Ran was afraid that Zhen Yu would fall ill, and her worries overwhelmed the complex emotions surging in her heart like a huge wave.
She hurriedly reached out and stroked Zhen Zhen's back, helped her calm down, and said softly: "Lu'er, don't be afraid, I'm fine." Take a deep breath and exhale it slowly, yes, slowly ......"
As soon as Zhen Zhen's mood calmed down, Xiao Zun rushed over with someone.
He turned over and dismounted, walked up to the two of them, and said apologetically: "Cousin Zhen, and this girl, I'm sorry to frighten you." The palace didn't mean to, just chased the prey, but didn't want the arrow to miss, and hoped that the two girls would forgive. ”
Although Zhen Yu was very angry, but the other party was a prince after all, and it was an unintentional move, and she sincerely expressed her apologies, and she didn't say anything, she only reminded him to be more careful.
Xiao Zun repeatedly said yes.
In fact, he was also very afraid, these two people are the daughters of important ministers in the court, if they are really injured by him, although they are unintentional, they will inevitably be punished and punished.
It is a trivial matter to be punished, but if anyone thinks that he is a cruel and tyrannical person and has lost the hearts of the people, then the loss will be great.
Yan Ran was worried about Zhen Zhen, and the haze that had just shrouded her heart dissipated unconsciously.
Facing Xiao Zun at this time, she was still able to restrain the surging hatred and did not show the slightest.
Yan Ran hung her head, and Xiao Zun only glanced at her side face.
A hurried glance, a flash.
Xiao Zun sighed in his heart, this girl has such a beautiful appearance at a young age, I don't know how beautiful she will grow in a few years.
Xiao Zun's heart was moved, and he wanted to find out Yan Ran's identity, but was interrupted by Zhen Zhen and said goodbye to him and left.
This happened, and Zhen Yu didn't have the heart to continue playing, so he pulled Yan Ran back to the camp.
When Qing Guogong learned of this, he was also very afraid, and now he finally had a fair and honest reason not to let Zhen Yu go out at will.
Zhen Yu doesn't care, anyway, she has already had a good time, the fish has been caught, and she will eat it the same when she comes back to roast.
So, Xuanyue moved the tools for grilling fish outside the tent.
Zhen Yu and Yan Ran were chatting in the tent while waiting for the grilled fish.
Referring to the matter of Fang Cai, Zhen Yu's words couldn't help but be a little sneering: "I heard that His Royal Highness is good at riding and shooting, and he has a hundred shots, but now it seems that he is boasting very high, but Er'er." ”
Yan Ran also felt strange, Xiao Zun was indeed good at riding and shooting, and he was not in vain, even if he was occasionally abnormal, but his loss of accuracy today was inevitably too big.
Besides, not to mention that she and Zhen Zhen have no grievances with Xiao Zun, even if there is any grudge, Xiao Zun will not shoot the courtiers' families in public.
He will not do this kind of thing that offends others but does not benefit himself.
Excluding the fact that he didn't wake up, then the only reasonable explanation can only be that there is a problem with the bow and arrow used by Xiao Zun.
Yan Ran expected to think well.
After Xiao Zun returned to the camp, he was furious: "Call the people from the Ministry of Works!" This is what they call the best bow and arrow! ”
The people from the Ministry of Industry came quickly, and after some inspection, they said tremblingly: "Second Highness, this bow and arrow have been tampered with, so I lost my head." ”
Since someone framed it, it is not difficult to guess who is behind it.
Xiao Zun is good at martial arts, the prince is good at writing, in this kind of activity that needs to rely on force to win, Emperor Sheng does not want to lose to Da Yueguo, so he will rely more on Xiao Zun.
The prince didn't want to give Xiao Zun the slightest chance to show his face, so he moved his bow and arrow, wanting him to be unable to use it.
As for whether it will hurt people by mistake, it is not within his consideration.
Xiao Zun was furious, smashed his fist on the table, and bit out two words viciously: "Prince!" ”
In the afternoon, the hunting conference officially kicked off.
Emperor Sheng stipulated that those who participated in the hunt should be taken as an individual, and as long as the prey won in quality or quantity, they would receive a rich reward.
The people of Dayue live by grazing and hunting, and they are determined to win the hunt.
The teenagers of Sheng Guo are high-spirited, and they are also not to be outdone, and they are ready to go.
Under the order of Emperor Sheng, people from all walks of life marched towards the mountains and forests.
Emperor Sheng stayed in place and waited, accompanied by hundreds of officials and concubines.
Master Yan wanted Yan Qiyou to go through the training, but because he was still young, he was not worried that he would participate in the hunt alone, so he took him with him, and Wen took Yan Ran and Yan Yao to stay.
After a while, Zhen Yu sent someone to invite Yan Ran.
Yan Ran and Wen's Daoming, Wen's agreed.
After Yan Ran left, Yan Yao snorted coldly angrily: "Sycophant, I am used to stammering with the girls of the Qingguo Mansion!" ”
Wen patted Yan Yao's hand and comforted her: "Don't be like her, Mrs. Wu'anhou took the girls to play with the pitcher, and my mother took you over to play." ”
It is rare to have all the noble families in Anyang City gather together like this, in Wen's opinion, this is the best occasion for Yan Yao to show her talent and reputation to win the love of her husband and lay a good foundation for her future family affairs.
As for Yan Ran, it's best not to go, it's exactly what she wants!
Yan Ran came to Zhen Yu's tent and saw that she was wearing a peach-colored riding costume and was excitedly spinning in circles.
As soon as she saw Yan Ran, she couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Yan, how is it, am I good-looking?" ”
Yan Ranqi said: "What, you also have to go hunting?" ”
Zhen Yu grabbed Yan Ran's arm: "I'm so bored, watching others fight against the dust, my heart is itching, so I went to ask my aunt." My aunt said that I should exercise more because I am weak, and my grandfather can only agree! However, we could only walk around the nearby woods, not far. ”
Zhen Yu said, pointing to a set of riding clothes that had been prepared for Yan Ran a long time ago and said, "Sister Yan, you can also change into riding clothes, let's go riding together!" ”
Yan Ran saw that Zhen Yu was ready, so she had to change her riding clothes as she said and accompany her to ride a horse and walk nearby.
On the other side, Wen Rongan and Wen Chengyan met in the forest.
The prey that Wen Rongan was ready to hunt several times was intercepted by Wen Chengyan.
This scene happened to be seen by Mu Changfeng, who was passing by, he leaned on his horse and shouted in a rough voice: "Little grandfather, you're bored, right?" ”
Wen Chengyan didn't care about Mu Changfeng's cynicism, he only looked at Wen Rongan with contempt, and said provocatively: "If you have the ability, you can snatch it back!" ”
Mu Changfeng looked at Wen Chengyan's unbeaten appearance, he was very unhappy, and planned to help Wen Rong'an out of this evil breath.
Unbeknownst to him, Wen Rongan suddenly bent his bow and arrow, aiming straight at Wen Chengyan.
Wen Chengyan's heart suddenly changed, his face changed greatly, and he almost jumped off the horse.
But he quickly calmed down, and was sure that Wen Rongan didn't dare to let go, with a calm look on his face, but his hand unconsciously clenched the reins.
Mu Changfeng was frightened by Wen Rong'an's actions, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Hey, for such a trivial matter, it's not enough, it's all a family, don't hurt the harmony!" ”
Wen Rongan was unmoved, only slowly accumulated, pulled the bow full, and was about to fire.
Wen Chengyan's heart was hoisted high with the gradually opening bow, and the moment Wen Rongan's hand was released, his psychological defense line finally collapsed, and he instinctively jumped to dodge.
However, Wen Rong'an's arrow was not aimed at Wen Chengyan, but at the bag containing the prey on the horse's back, and the arrow was nailed to the trunk of the tree behind it with the bag.
Wen Rongan really snatched the prey back as Wen Chengyan said.
Wen Chengyan was shocked, looking at the arrow feathers behind him, he didn't expect Wen Rongan to have such ability, and he was stunned for a while.
Wen Rong'an stepped forward immediately, took down the prey, glanced at Wen Chengyan lightly, and said expressionlessly: "It is still unknown who killed the deer." ”
Wen Rong'an's voice was very light and light, without any tone and color, but Wen Chengyan just heard a coldness wrapped in a thick threat and provocation, and he was resentful.
Mu Changfeng chased after him, chattering non-stop.
"Hey, you just had a good trick, how did you practice, teach me!"
"I see your bow is quite heavy, you are not hurt, are you?"
"Don't even care about your body in order to be angry with Wen Chengyan."
"Don't hold on, in front of life, face is not worth mentioning!"
Wen Rong silently endured Mu Changfeng's broken thoughts, and had a feeling that Yan Ran was in front of him.
Aren't these words all Yan Ran would say?
He really wanted to ask Mu Changfeng how much money Yan Ran gave him to make him stare at him so tirelessly and all the time!
Yan Ran, who was resentful of Wen Rong'an, was also tirelessly staring at Zhen Zhen for Mu Changfeng at the moment.
Zhen Zhen wanted to feel the feeling of riding a horse and archery, but she had little strength, and she couldn't even pull the lightest bow.
Yan Ran asked people to find two slingshots and accompany her to play with stones.
The two are happily competing to see who hits the most leaves.
Suddenly, a disheveled woman ran out of the woods and shouted, "Help, two girls! ”
