Chapter 3 Hunting
Drunken Wind Building.
Apricot is busy in the back kitchen. Qingyun, who ran the hall, took the menu again. But I saw that the menu was full of phoenixes spreading their wings. Whole ginseng stew. Roasted bear's paw in sauce. Dishes like abalone and shark's fin are laborious and expensive. Xing'er looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's almost exhausting......"
Qingyun said happily: "Apricot. I think you might as well follow the master to learn how to cook. Today I met another distinguished guest. You see you gave me a reward of a tael of silver."
After speaking, he took the silver and shook it in front of Xing'er. Apricot glared at him, picked up her spoon and was about to hit him. He happily took a step back and said, "Speaking of which, this man is still your savior. That's a big shot."
"You're back." Xing'er hurriedly called when she saw that he was leaving. Who did you say was giving you the reward?"
"The man who flew down from the stairs to save you that day."
A tall figure suddenly appeared in Apricot Child's mind. The man descended from heaven like a god from heaven before her. That pair of caring eyes, that handsome face. Xing'er was stunned and said, "This menu is his."
"Hmm. You hurry up and make it. People are still waiting." Qingyun said.
Apricot nodded. Looking at the soup in the pot that was constantly tumbling, what was in my mind became clearer and clearer.
"Fifth master. It's easy to be idle these days when I'm busy with official business. Why don't we go hunting in the mountains in the northern suburbs tomorrow?" A man's voice rang out.
Apricot knocks softly. Hearing the response, he pushed the door open.
"It's fine. It's been a long time since I've been hunting, and my hands are really itchy." Familiar bright voices.
"Then the fifth master is ready to lose money this time. I practice archery at home every day."
Apricot puts the dishes on the table one by one. I heard the expected voice sound: "It's you."
Xing'er looked up and saw Hongyang looking at her with a smile on her face. There seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes. Xing'er put the plate away and said, "Childe, please use it slowly."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to quit. Hongyang called her: "Hey...... Those scoundrels won't bother you anymore."
Xing'er turned around and smiled: "Thank you for your concern. Nope. Drag the boy Hong Fu Xing'er is all right."
"Aren't you a cook? How did you come to be a starting house?" Hongzhi asked again.
"There are too many people in the store to keep busy for a while." Apricot Road.
"You make these dishes." Hongzhi asked.
Apricot nodded. Hongtian picked up the chopsticks and went to clip a piece of Wuzhen cloud leg silk, but he heard Xing'er say, "Slow."
Hongsun looked up at her suspiciously. Xing'er took out a white porcelain bottle from her sleeve and put it on the table and said, "It's even better with my exclusive secret sauce."
Hongyang grinned: "Then why don't you serve it together when you serve it."
Xing'er blinked: "Ordinary people can't eat it when they are idle. But Childe and I have grace, so naturally it's another matter."
A playful and cute face. Hongyang looked at her, his eyes couldn't help but deepen, remembering the appearance of her angrily glaring at the kitchen knife that day, and couldn't help but smile. The man sitting next to him said, "I don't know if I can taste the girl's secret sauce."
Xing'er's eyes turned around slyly, and she looked very embarrassed: "Then it depends on whether this son is willing." After saying that, he smiled and turned around and walked out.
I only heard the man's laughing voice sound behind him: "This drunken wind building's running hall is not an ordinary person."
It seems that Hongday's voice is also mixed in: "She's not running away."
The laugh lines at the corners of Apricot lips are a little deeper.
Tree-shady. Birdsong Mountain Secluded. It's summer. A hundred flowers bloom. The wind is blowing with a little coolness.
"Fifth master. How does it feel to go out hunting today?" A man in a blue robe sits upright on a horse. I saw that he was no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old. Resolute face. Heroic posture.
"You're embarrassed to say it. Is this how you practice archery all day?" Hongsun sneered at the man. Cheng Yun. I'm afraid you'll go home naked today."
The person who was called Cheng Yun was Han Fang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army who was with him in the Drunken Wind Tower yesterday. Zicheng Yun.
Cheng Yun laughed and said, "I haven't used my true kung fu yet. Don't be too happy."
After saying that, he drew his bow and shot an arrow. Hongday's eyes turned to see a turtledove falling from the tree. The corners of Hongday's lips were slightly raised: "Okay."
With that, he drew an arrow from his horse and shot it up to the sky. The arrow was inserted straight into the body of a goshawk. Cheng Yun couldn't help but praise: "The prince is a good archery."
Hongyang smiled brightly: "From now on, the kung fu of one stick of incense is limited. Whoever hunts more birds and beasts wins."
"Good. It's a deal." After Cheng Yun finished speaking, he pulled the reins and ran towards the woods.
Hongyang hooked his lips and clamped his legs between the horse's belly: "Drive."
There are many birds and animals in the mountains and forests. Half a pillar of incense's kung fu Hongtian hunted a lot. He was born into the royal family. Since childhood, he has been able to ride and shoot kung fu. In addition, Yongzheng likes to be a layman, and this exercise often takes the lead. The accompanying minions followed to pick up the prey. Hongsun stopped in front of a forest and turned over and dismounted. Xiao Ningzi immediately came to take the reins. Hongyang asked, "How many?"
"Master. Twenty-one." Xiao Ningzi said.
Hongyang nodded. Inadvertently, he saw a sika deer running towards the forest, and immediately came to his senses, pulled the quiver from the horse, put it on his back, and chased after the sika deer. Xiao Ningzi called behind him: "Lord Wang......"
Hongyang turned his head and gave him a sharp look, and Xiao Ningzi immediately covered his mouth. Hongsun hurried towards the sika deer. Seeing the fawn running to the stream to drink, he hid behind a tree, aimed at the fawn, drew his bow, and shot out. But the fawn turned and ran. Hongyang was secretly sorry when he heard a very crisp voice sound: "Which bastard shoots a dark arrow in the back."
Hongtian was stunned. I saw a woman in a water-red dress carrying the hem of her skirt and walking out from behind a large rock. The woman had a big hole in the hem of her skirt, as if it had been scratched by his arrows. Hongtian didn't expect this, so he lost his bowstring and walked up from behind the tree, arching his hand as he walked, "I'm really sorry. In the next moment, I was dazzled...... but I was talking about it. Then he smiled and said, "Apricot girl......"
"It's you." Apricot opened her eyes wide.
Hongtian couldn't help but smile as he looked at her in surprise. She wore a dress with a red lily and a narcissus today. A pair of light pink embroidered shoes at the feet. The sleeves are pulled up to reveal half of the white wrists. Her jet-black braid was curled up with a tourmaline hairpin. Two strands of hair hung down from the ears, and the wind blew and rippled slightly. A small pink face flushed. A pair of apricot eyes full of surprise. But it looks very smart and lovely.
"How did you end up here?" Hongzhi asked.
"I'm here to find something." Apricot said. But here you are......"
"I'm here hunting with my friends. I don't want to almost hurt you by mistake. I'm really sorry. Your dress ...... "Hongday." I'll have someone bring you a set later."
Xing'er stroked the hole in her dress and said, "It's okay. Don't bother Childe."
"You said you were looking for something. I'm looking for something. Maybe I can help some ......," Hongtian said.
"Ten perfect black chickens. When they heard that there was a mountain spring on the side, they came to look for it. After searching for a long time, I just saw it, but I was scared away by Childe's arrow. I don't know where to look now." Apricot said.
"Then it's mine, it's not the." Hongtian raised his eyebrows.
Apricot nodded. The voice is playful: "Obviously, it is."
Hongday's hands patted lightly. Two guards immediately appeared in the woods. The two walked up to Hongyang and said, "Fifth Master."
"Let the people below look for some black chickens by this stream. Don't let any of them go." Hongdaydao.
The two of them left in Apricot Child's surprised eyes. Apricot paced up and down in front of him, looking him up and down, and suddenly laughed. Although Hongyang wondered about her smile, he felt that her smile was very cute, so he also smiled and said, "Why do you look at me like this."
"I didn't expect Childe's background to be so extraordinary."
"Oh." Hongyang looks like he wants to hear about it.
"Childe's costume is extremely gorgeous. Xing'er originally only thought that Childe was a child of a rich family, but Childe came to hunt but had so many entourages accompanying him. That son must be the son of an official eunuch." Apricot tells.
Hongyang smiled: "The girl's dress doesn't look like an ordinary cook."
Xing'er pouted: "I'm just an ordinary cook. This garment was given to one of my sisters. She is now recuperating in the house, and I came here to find the perfect black chicken for her."
Hongtian looked around at the mountain stream and woods, and said in a condensed voice: "Miss Xing'er came to this mountain to look for black chickens for her sisters, and I think the relationship between the two of you must be very good."
Apricot nodded. The loneliness in his eyes flashed away.
Hongday, but he saw it clearly. The inexplicable feelings in my heart passed by in a flash.
"Master. Commander Han has returned. I'll be waiting for you over there." Xiao Ningzi came out of the woods and said.
"Oh." Hongtian raised his eyebrows and smiled. How did he get results?"
"Han Tong shot twenty-eight prey."
Hongtian sighed softly. But there was no regret between the eyebrows. He smiled, "Looks like I'm going to walk back barefoot today."
His eyes fell on Xing'er's dress and said, "Bring my cloak and put it on Miss Xing'er."
"No need." Apricot refused.
Hongyang smiled: "It was my fault. It's not good for a girl to go back like this."
Apricot's face flushed slightly. Hongyang said again: "Besides, you are a woman in the mountains, forests and countryside after all. Come back with me."
Apricot nodded.
The guards who accompanied them had already laid out their prey. Hongyang looked at the prey all over the ground and couldn't help but smile: "He is worthy of being the commander of the Royal Forest Army. The archery is really good."
Seongyoon saw the woman behind him with a moment of surprise and then returned to normal. smiled and replied: "It's just that I haven't been able to kill two birds with one stone without the fifth master."
Vertical and horizontal between the prey. In that area, there were two white eagles that had been pierced by an arrow. Cheng Yun's sentence killing two birds with one stone is not a pandering.
Hongyang sneered: "Okay. I will have the money lost to you delivered to your house."
Cheng Yun shook slightly: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."
