The adult female bear was extremely powerful, and Li Yu raised her sword to parry a few palms, but she also felt that she couldn't support it.

He took advantage of a gap to glance, and fortunately, two of the guards besieging the bear cub had escaped and were rushing towards him.

Li Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but this slightly distracting kung fu was almost hit again.

With the strength of this adult female bear, if an ordinary person is slapped in the face, he may be killed.

Li Yu stabilized his mind and focused on wrestling with the bear.

Then something unexpected happened.

Lu Zhaoling quietly walked around to a nearby tree for some time, saw the opportunity for Li Yu to fight with the bear, and suddenly jumped up two or three steps through the trunk of the tree, turned around and jumped into the air, and aimed the scimitar in his hand at the bear's nose and slashed down.

"Roaring ——!!"

The she-bear snarled at the blow, staggered back a few steps, and staggered dizzily.

"The force is too light." Lu Zhaoling shook off his hand that was numb from the shock, and was a little dissatisfied with his blow.

Li Yu glanced at her in surprise.

At this time, the two guards had already arrived, and Li Yu didn't have time to say more, the three of them quickly surrounded the bear, and took advantage of the moment when its weakness was hit hard and it was dizzy, and hurried to attack.

After a dozen more rounds, the she-bear finally collapsed to the ground, and the hunt ended without danger.

The other side also dealt with the cubs, and everyone gathered back together.

Li Yu checked it, and except for a few scars from the guard's claws that were scratched by the bear's claws, the rest of the people did not have any serious injuries.

Lu Zhaoling, who participated in the battle from time to time halfway, was also unscathed.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he couldn't help but reproach with a straight face: "Your Highness is too reckless." ”

"Didn't I help! and did not hold you back. Lu Zhaoling was unconvinced.

I thought that Li Yu would teach her a lesson again, but I didn't expect Li Yu to just sigh and start to blame himself: "It's the minister who didn't think it through, and when he found that cub, he should have sent someone to guard Chengxiong." ”

Li Yu didn't know why, he had always been cautious, but he made such a big mistake.

"It's not like nothing is happening right now." Lu Zhaoling comforted.

"It is also a dereliction of duty to let his subordinates be injured due to autumn hunting." Li Yu still frowned.

Seeing Li Yu's attitude, Lu Zhaoling was a little incredulous.

Why is this man's mind so heavy?

"Can't you take it easy? It's just a hunt, not a battle, and it's normal that you're not cautious enough, and even if you make some mistakes, you don't make a big mistake. Besides, this is the time to celebrate the victory, everyone is happy that they have harvested their prey, and you should be happy too, and don't think about these annoying things. If I were the wounded guard, I would just want to hear you praise me for my bravery at this moment, and I would be proud of my bravery, and I wouldn't want to see you feel sorry for my injury. ”

Lu Zhaoling couldn't stand Li Yu's serious and rigid appearance for a long time, and couldn't help but preach to him endlessly.

Li Yu looked at Lu Zhaoling, his face was full of surprise, and he didn't speak for a long time.

“…… What's the matter, am I outrageous? ”

Seeing Li Yu's appearance, Lu Zhaoling felt a little weak for a while, thinking that he was facing a general who had been on the battlefield, and it might be too self-righteous to say such a thing.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu opened his mouth when he wanted to speak and stopped, and then gradually showed a smile.

"The princess is right. I'm a bit of a disappointment. ”

"Uh...... It's not that you're disappointed. Lu Zhaoling felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Li Yu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and then the whole person seemed much more energetic, and returned to the high-spirited posture when they first met.

"It's me who underestimates the princess too much, and I am afraid to do things, which makes the princess laugh." Li Yu said with a smile.

"You're right, it's much more refreshing to laugh." Lu Zhaoling praised.

"Thank you, princess, for your teachings." Li Yu saluted Lu Zhaoling.

"You're still very stereotypical." Lu Zhaoling said with a smile.

While the two were talking, the wounded guard had been urgently treated, simply bandaged, and was ready to move. Li Yu began to arrange for the team to prepare and return to the camp.

"Today's loot is enough, and there are wounded in the ranks, so it's time to go back to the camp." Li Yu said to Lu Zhaoling.

"Okay." Lu Zhaoling also nodded in agreement.

"This she-bear was transported back to the camp by the princess."

"Huh? You killed this bear, and I can't take it. Lu Zhaoling hurriedly waved his hand.

"It was the princess who gave it the crucial blow. Moreover, its appearance put the princess in danger, which is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister, and it is good to take it as an apology, so please accept it. Li Yu still insisted.

If I don't accept it, he will definitely continue to blame himself.

Lu Zhaoling thought about it and reluctantly agreed.

On the way back, the two still rode side by side, but Li Yu was no longer as preoccupied and unsmiling as when he came, but much more open-minded.

The way he looked at Lu Zhaoling was also a little different.

"I didn't expect the princess to be calm and skilled, far from being like a delicate girl of this age. The sister is far from the princess. Li Yu and Lu Zhaoling chatted.

"Uh-huh." Lu Zhaoling raised his chin proudly, "I have studied with the first sword master of the Liuguo Kingdom since I was a child, and I have been practicing by myself every day in the Anping Palace for the past few years, and I have never slacked off." ”

"Has the princess's light skills also been practiced since childhood?" Li Yu said curiously.

Lu Zhaoling nodded: "In the past few years, except for riding and archery, the rest are like swordsmanship and light skills, and I am very confident." ”

"Are the children of your country so uninhibited?" Li Yu said with a smile.

"It's not all, my eldest sister is very gentle." Speaking of the eldest sister, Lu Zhaoling looked yearning, "When I was a child, my eldest sister often held me in her arms and sang to me, and when my mother was busy, it was the eldest sister who coaxed me to sleep." I don't know when I will be able to go back to Liuguo, and if I can see my eldest sister. Last year, I heard from the envoy that the eldest sister had not yet married. But she is twenty-three years old this year, and she should not be far from getting married, and I am afraid that I will not see her until I go back too late. ”

Li Yu listened quietly, watching Lu Zhaoling's bright eyes flicker.

"Ah, when it comes to the eldest sister, I can't help but talk a little more." Lu Zhaoling lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.

When he first learned Lu Zhaoling's identity, Li Yu was still a little surprised. After all, the Western Expedition is imminent, and she is a hostage of the Western Regions Ryuk Kingdom. But after thinking about it, if the Ryuk Kingdom participated in the rebellion, this Tongguang princess should have been beheaded, and now she is alive and kicking to participate in the autumn hunt, thinking that there is nothing to do with the Ryuk Kingdom.

It stands to reason that if this expedition to the west can help to deal with the alliance, maybe a closer alliance can be formed with Anping, and then the princess of Tongguang will be able to return to her hometown as she wishes.

Li Yu told Lu Zhaoling about his speculation, and Lu Zhaoling was overjoyed and cheered: "That's great!" ”

Li Yu looked at Lu Zhaoling's joyful appearance, and his heart was slightly moved.

He didn't know what kind of false yearning he gave Lu Zhaoling.
