On that day, the royal autumn hunt, the emperor, the queen and a group of officials' families went to the royal Wanshou Mountain to hold an autumn hunt.

Because many of Dayan's officials were meritorious men who followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and even everyone was somewhat martial arts regardless of whether they were fists and legs or strong in martial arts. It was not until the emperor of this dynasty ascended the throne and the world gradually stabilized that these officials and their families slowly relaxed their practice of martial arts in a comfortable life. Therefore, for this autumn hunt, everyone is eager to try, and it seems that in the process of hunting, they can experience a happy life. Everyone wants to participate, but often when there are many people, there are also many conspiracies, and every year there is no shortage of people who are secretly hacked by hostile people.

On that day, the people divided into five groups and went into the mountains to hunt. The prince, Xiao Yu, and the daughter of the prince, Zhou Ying, these three childhood sweethearts who grew up wearing open crotch pants together, of course, belong to the same team, and there are also several other official children who are usually better. A team of King Jin, the eldest grandson of King Qin comes to Beijing every year to visit Concubine Duan, and also forms a team. All three teams are highly skilled in martial arts. The women, led by the eldest princess and the chief of the emperor's guards, were divided into two teams, and the two teams of women were randomly played and practiced by the guards and guardians in the near area. Have fun. After the emperor gave the order, several groups of men and horses galloped away in the predetermined direction.

It is said that the prince's team, after not entering the woods, found a place to start hunting.

Because of their arrival, a crowd of birds was startled and scattered in all directions. I saw that the prince was dressed in a dark uniform, with gold wire piping, embroidered with dragon auspicious clouds, a strong suit, deep eyebrows and eyes, and handsome and extraordinary.

He quickly picked up three arrows from his back and saw the three birds fall to the ground, everyone couldn't help but cheer for him, and with the prince taking the lead, the others let go of their hands and feet and prepared to show their skills. Everyone couldn't help but scatter around looking for their prey.

The prince and Xiao Yu, Zhou Ying and the prince's two guards, you chase me, shoot happily. From time to time, they shoot down some prey. Everyone was on the rise, and they felt that their martial arts were extraordinary, so they went deeper to find prey.

In the deep forest, there are occasional crows crying sadly, indescribably quiet, and revealing a bit of danger. At this moment, more than 20 black-clothed people suddenly fell from the sky and surrounded the five people. Several of them fought with each other. It wasn't until later, when all 5 people were scarred and exhausted, that they finally killed all the men in black.

Just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, a man in black on the ground who was already dying suddenly shot an arrow at the prince with all his strength. Xiao Yu was the first to see it, and in a hurry, he threw the sword in his hand and tried to miss the enemy's arrow. The enemy's arrow was deflected, but Xiao Yu's sword was inserted into the heart of Zhou Ying, who was walking side by side with the prince, and was suddenly shocked by this collision.

I saw that the girl was dressed in a cyan uniform, her face was full of heroism, and she was wrinkled on both sides by this arrow, and the huge pain and impact made her lie back, the prince hurriedly supported Zhou Ying, looked at her nervously and said, "Ying'er, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Yu saw Zhou Ying fall, and in an instant, he was full of blood and blood, and quickly went over and strangled the enemy's throat with one hand, making him fatal in a moment. The two guards of wind and rain hurriedly put up mental vigilance to prevent someone from sneaking up on the prince.

After killing the enemy, Xiao Yu rushed to Zhou Ying and cried with a painful expression: "Ying'er, how are you, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, you have to hold on, brother, I'll take you to find the doctor, okay?" ”

Seeing blood gushing out of Zhou Ying's mouth, Zhou Ying didn't have much strength to speak, so he said with a hard breath: "Brother, I don't blame you, I miss my father, my mother, and I miss home; Brother Prince, Brother Xiao, I can't stand it, Brother Xiao, I haven't told you yet, I like you, do you like me?"

Xiao Yu's tears poured down from his crimson eyes: "Ying'er, you hold on, wait for you to get better, is it okay for my brother to marry you?" Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Zhou Ying's face suddenly forced a smile: "Brother, can you hug me?" I can't wait to marry you as a wife," Xiao Yu hurriedly took Zhou Ying from the prince's hand.

She said intermittently with a painful expression: "Dad, mother, goodbye, brothers, goodbye" After finishing speaking, her heart twitched, she swallowed her last breath with difficulty, and slowly closed her eyes.

Returning to the silent forest, I suddenly remembered the roars of Xiao Yu and the prince, and the sound of "Ying'er" finally did not wake up the enthusiastic, lively and hearty girl.

The sound of "Brother Xiao" finally stopped in memory.

Soon, the Imperial Forest Army, who heard the news, brought the injured prince and Xiao Yu, who was holding Zhou Ying all the way back to the camp.

On that day, the prince was seriously injured and fell asleep for three whole days, Xiao Yu was even more than the prince, and it was the evening of the fourth day after waking up, he ignored the scars all over his body, and let the guards carry him to the house of Mrs. Zhou, while asking the teacher to plead guilty, and at the same time begging to marry Zhou Ying, so that Zhou Ying could be buried as the wife of the prince of the protectorate.

The old lady looked at this upright junior she liked, and choked up: "That's it, you go back and prepare, just follow you, retreat."

So, two days later, Xiao Yu personally wore linen and filial piety to welcome Zhou Ying back to his ancestral grave and erected a monument for him: "Beloved wife Zhou Ying, husband Xiao Yu".

This assassination shocked the entire imperial city, because the king of Jin and the eldest grandson of the king of Qin were injured at the same time, and for a time this conspiracy was confusing, and there were different opinions. The emperor was furious and ordered the Criminal Department and the Military Department to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After Xiao Yu recuperated in bed for three months, he proposed to the emperor to go to the military camp in northern Xinjiang for training. That year, the young man in his prime said goodbye to his grandmother, the prince and his teacher, bowed to the spiritual seat of his beloved wife Zhou Ying, and rode his beloved horse, Blaze, away from the capital.

Now, 5 years have passed, he is already a well-known major general in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and even his mentor, Shen Huai's old fox, said: "This son is a general, and with this son, he can ensure the peace of Northern Xinjiang."

The acquaintance on the tree still kept screaming, and I don't know how long it took, the old lady's door creaked open, waking up the two who were reminiscing, and the two hurriedly got up and went in to serve.

Fang's mother is quiet, and Wang's mother chatters a lot, so the two have different division of labor. Fang's mother waited for the old lady to dress and make up, Wang's mother prepared toiletries, Zhang Luo's foreign affairs, and the girl Bai Zhi made the bed, and the three of them waited for the old lady to get up in an orderly manner.

Mother Wang is a fast-talker, and as soon as she entered, she said with a happy face: "Old lady, I'm very happy."

The old lady had already been helped by Bai Zhi to sit on the floor, squinted at Mrs. Wang and said, "Alas, tell me, what great joy does my old woman have, and what happy event can compare to the joy of family!" He said with a sad look on his face. Her husband and son all sacrificed their lives for the country in her life, and only such a grandson became her belief in life, and she went to the military camp, a bunch of tablets at home, but she didn't have any popularity, what joy could there be. It's just talking about stealing a living.

Seeing that the old lady had an unhappy look on her face, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "The slave should die, let the old lady remember the sad thing, but this time, it is really a happy event, our young general is coming back." ”

The old lady's eyes widened: "Who are you talking about?" Who's coming back? She looked at Mrs. Wang in disbelief.

At this time, Mrs. Fang hurriedly answered: "Back to the old lady, it's your grandson, the young general is coming back, just when you were on a lunch break, the prince found someone to pass the word, saying that the emperor ordered the young general to return to Beijing to take up his post, saying that the young general would be able to arrive in a few days." ”

The old lady looked at Mrs. Wang, and then at Mrs. Fang, and saw that the two of them were full of joy, and nodded to her in unison, so she was convinced. "You said Yu'er, Yu'er, he's coming back soon?" As he spoke, his voice trembled a little. "It's good to be back, it's been 5 years, and my Yu'er is finally going home." "The Fang family hurry up and wait for me to get up, I want to go to the Buddha Hall to worship, ask the gods to bless my grandson with a safe journey, that, Bai Zhi, you go and clean up the young master's house inside and out, the Wang family will see if there is any shortage, and tell the housekeeper to prepare it." As he spoke, tears poured down again. Everyone hurriedly performed their duties and stepped forward to serve.

And over there, on the melodious ancient road, Xiao Yu and the two guards accompanying him galloped, compared to the youth and vigor of five years ago, Xiao Yu after years of polishing and experience in the army, it seems that he already has the calm and capable atmosphere of the superior, decisive in killing, and strategizing. On this trip back to Beijing after a 5-year absence, has Xiao Yu let go of the guilt in his heart and can face his teacher? The answer may be gradually revealed in the distant sound of horses' hooves.
