Chapter 44: News

As soon as the sun rose, the Emperor announced that he would go into the hunting grounds again after breakfast.

In addition to a few princes, the crown prince and the descendants of many royal relatives also gathered. The many generals who followed were all well prepared, bringing all kinds of sharp weapons for hunting. The attendants and retainers also followed. Everyone seemed more energetic this time than last time.

The sixth prince was followed by a large retinue of arrows and spears. He secretly glanced at Lou Zhan and Yirong, and suddenly said: "General Lou and his wife are really in love, let me wait for the envy of the extreme!" ”

After he said this, everyone's attention turned to them. Yirong tried her best to shrink her body, hoping that everyone would ignore her, and her low face turned red. Lou Zhan saw everything in his eyes, and saluted the six princes with his fists in the distance: "The six princes are serious, Rong'er is just curious about hunting, and the plaice is not in love." ”

Everyone secretly thought that General Lou was serious, not like he was lying, but he was so honest that it really embarrassed the six princes.

Sure enough, the sixth prince was speechless for a while, and after a while, he said without pain: "This prince still thinks you have a deep relationship." ”

The prince watched coldly from the sidelines, but the second prince said: "Sixth brother, I see that your backyard is very full, why don't you bring out a few, everyone is lively together?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several ministers and followers of the faction of the Six Princes appeared, and the rest of the people couldn't help laughing.

The sixth prince was embarrassed, but because of his brother's identity, it was inconvenient to ridicule each other, so as not to fall into the handle of brotherly discord, so he had to take it as a joke, his face was full of smiles, and said: "Second brother, you don't know this, the first two concubines in my backyard have not been canonized, how can it be like you met a confidant early, my brother and I have a hard life, busy with official business all day long, where is the time to find a beautiful woman?" ”

With these words, the sixth prince successfully cleared everyone of the impression that his backyard was very full, and also moved out of the fact that he still hadn't accepted the concubine, so that everyone turned their attention to the second prince again. Indeed, the second prince accepted the main concubine and the side concubine early, and several concubines were also accepted in the backyard, which few people know.

The six princes looked at each other with a little meaning, and the look in his eyes seemed to say, come on, I have already figured out how many catties and taels you are, but it is just pretending.

The second prince smiled silently.

Still the sixth prince couldn't hold his breath, and couldn't help but snort coldly after not getting the response he deserved.

After waiting for a short time, the emperor finally came out. The old emperor was strong and strong, although he was not tall, but his face was majestic, he had been in the top position for a long time and had an extraordinary spirit, with a beard on his face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, but his temples were a little white after all, indicating that his years were quietly passing. The emperor was followed by the Taishi Bai Fengyi and Bai Yiyun, as well as the Taiwei Chen Song. Lord Taiwei had just arrived last night, and the emperor had asked him to come, so he had to take a break from his busy schedule. Behind the emperor's procession, followed by the convoy of Lin Guo, the prince of Lin Guo sat on a large sedan chair carried by eight people, holding his chin and looking at the people below, while the uncle behind him was closing his eyes and recuperating.

When the emperor came, everyone dismounted to meet him.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Let's all be even."

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

So they got back on their horses and went to the paddock.

The crown prince followed the emperor closely, followed by the sixth prince and the second prince, as well as their retinue and bodyguards.

The descendants of the royal relatives also entered the mountain road surrounded by their respective retainers and attendants.

After the snow fell, the sky cleared for a long time, but there was still snow on the mountain road. The snow melted and seeped into the dirt beneath your feet, making the trail muddy, with horses' hooves and muddy splashes.

Lou Zhan was naturally followed by a group of generals who followed him, while Bai Yirong was sitting obediently in his arms, sitting precariously.

"Rong'er, what are you thinking?"

Lou Zhan suddenly whispered in her ear.

Yirong's eyes were dull, looking at the mountain scenery in the distance, and when she heard him speak, she raised her head and looked dumbfounded.

"Huh?"

Lou Zhan smiled dotingly and asked again.

"I'm wondering what we're going to catch this time."

Yirong was in a trance.

Suddenly, someone came up behind them, and the couple turned their heads to look, just as they saw the eldest princess Hongying catching up. She is still dressed in a big red dress today, heroic and cool, and she can always make people shine and be pleasing to the eye.

The eldest princess walked side by side with the two, turned her head to look at Yirong, and said, "Madam, why are you here too?" ”

Yirong replied: "I'm just curious......"

"Oh?" Feng Yan glanced at Lou Zhan's expressionless face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Princess Ben heard that the remnants of the previous dynasty have recently appeared in the south, so this time my father is hunting, I am afraid that he will be assassinated." ”

Her tone was very cold, without the slightest emotion, and even with a hint of a smile, and she looked light.

Lou Zhan turned his head to look at her, his pupils shrunk, and said, "Really? ”

Sitting down, the horse was forced to stop.

The eldest princess also held the reins, but her face was solemn, and she lowered her voice and said, "It's true, my father just got this news, and very few people know about it now." ”

Lou Zhan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "These remnants are really inexhaustible wildfires, and the spring breeze blows and grows...... The emperor is afraid that he will be assassinated this time, and the general will do his best to repay it. As he spoke, he raised the reins and caught up with the large army.

Several maids behind Hongying drove their horses to catch up, and looked at the back of the man in front of them with their master. Several people know that although this back is not the widest, it must be the most able to bear the weight.

The red tassel stood in place for a long time.

One of the maids said, "Princess, can General Lou ensure the emperor's safety?" In his arms sat his new wife, the daughter of the Taishifu. ”

The red tasseled phoenix lowered his eyes and muttered: "I believe he will understand his mission, which is more important, he is also a very measured and smart person who knows how to make trade-offs." ”

In Lou Zhan's arms, Yirong was uneasy in her heart, she naturally heard everything, and couldn't help but think about it. Lou Zhan, her husband, is also the hero of Dayan, who wants to protect his family and defend the country, and also has the duty to protect the emperor's safety, but now that she is also here, will she cause him trouble? I knew that she shouldn't have come with her, but I didn't expect that the remnants of the previous dynasty had been plotting, hiding, and accumulating strength, would they come to assassinate the emperor? If it's really coming, what to do?

"Rong'er, what are you thinking?"

Lou Zhan asked again.

"Husband, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come with me, I caused you trouble......" Yirong said guiltily.

Lou Zhan stroked the top of her hair with his chin and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't blame yourself, husband, I can handle it." Seeing that she didn't answer, he asked cautiously, "Why, don't you still believe in your husband?" Don't forget, husband is a hero. ”
