112. Hunting ground barbecue

On the empty grass, Lu Yanyue waved the whip in her hand a little stiffly, leaning down and trying to fit the horse's back as much as possible. The horse was running happily in the clearing, and the people on horseback had a slight chill on their expressions at this time, and there seemed to be this killing intent in their shining eyes.

Song Anxiao rode a horse and stood in the middle of the meadow, watching Lu Yanyue's behavior, with a sad expression in his eyes. The hands holding the reins were tightly pulled together, Song Anxiao seemed to know something, but there was no anger in his eyes, but a faint sense of relief, as well as a little pity regret.

"It's pretty good, but do you want to learn anything?" After Lu Yanyue rode a horse around the hunting ground, she stopped beside Song Anxiao, Song Anxiao nodded, and her tone was cold.

It's obviously a compliment, but I can't hear any sense of compliment, but there is this bit of perfunctory. Lu Yanyue didn't care about this, her eyes looked around, and she said with a little pleasure: "I don't want to learn anything, but I want to follow you to hunt!" And then can we have a barbecue in it in the evening? ”

There was a shallow smile on Lu Yanyue's face, and the cold eyes that were shining when riding the horse just now were long gone. The tenderness in his eyes was clearly visible, as if the early chill was an illusion.

"Yes."

Song Anxiao agreed lightly, and then rode to a reserve house in the hunting ground. Lu Ming followed Song Anxiao to prepare the bow and arrows, and Qiqi followed Lu Yanyue's side at all times.

"After entering the forest, Qiqi protects Yan Yue, and Luming follows them."

"Yes!"

As the words fell, Song Anxiao whipped the horse and accelerated the speed of departure. Lu Yanyue tried her best to catch up with Song Anxiao's pace, and Lu Ming and Qiqi followed Lu Yanyue's side consistently, regardless of the distance from Song Anxiao.

After a while, Song Anxiao could only see a vague figure in the distance, and when he turned around, he couldn't see the reserve house of the hunting ground, and there was nothing around except trees. The sound of horses' hooves trampling on branches is accompanied by the sparse skimming of the grass by animals, and the tall, luxuriant branches filter the sunlight to only thin shadows.

It was noon, but it looked like evening. The shade emanating from the shade of the trees made the temperature drop a lot again, and Lu Yanyue's heart suddenly hit a sense of unease. If it weren't for Lu Ming being by his side at this time, Lu Yanyue might have wondered if Song Anxiao was deliberately fixing himself.

"Beep-"

The sudden sound made Lu Yanyue almost fall off the horse, and when he came back to his senses, he saw an arrow stuck in a tree not far away, and the arrow hit a rabbit impartially.

The deer beside him approached the horse, retrieved the arrow, and then ruthlessly threw the rabbit into the basket. Lu Yanyue stared at Lu Ming with a wary look in her eyes, and the hand holding the reins in her hand was slightly forced, as if she was a little annoyed.

"The prince likes a person every time he rides and shoots, because the prince thinks that someone is following, and the noise is too noisy, and it will drive away the animals."

Lu Ming's actions were smooth, and after glancing at Lu Yanyue's reaction, Lu Ming said silently. After hearing Lu Ming's words, Lu Yanyue also restrained her emotions in time, and her eyes gradually returned to gentleness.

"Well, it's fine. Can we walk around? Lu Yanyue pretended to speak easily.

"Of course." Lu Ming responded easily, and after getting on the horse, he still followed Lu Yanyue's side unhurriedly, looking around, waiting for the next prey to appear.

Qiqi followed Lu Yanyue's side closely, paying attention to Lu Yanyue's actions, and occasionally secretly observing Lu Ming's behavior, for fear that he would not have time to react if there was an accident.

"This hunting ground is huge." Lu Yanyue rode around the horse for a while, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, and I didn't know if I was lost or what happened. Lu Yanyue always felt that she couldn't go to the end, and she couldn't find Song Anxiao.

Even if Lu Yanyue listened carefully, she couldn't see Song Anxiao's horses' hooves, and it seemed that the distance between the two was very far now.

"Well, this hunting ground was originally built by the emperor. Originally, it was provided for the emperor to use alone, but later the emperor was busy with the government and rarely came, so he issued an order to open it for use. ”

Lu Ming briefly introduced, his eyes were still wandering around, perhaps because the speed of the three people was relatively slow, so that the surrounding animals quickly hid after hearing the sound.

Along the way, Lu Ming had nothing to gain except for the rabbit at the beginning. Yes, Lu Ming's face couldn't help but cross a little displeasure.

"How many days will Her Royal Highness stay in the palace?" Lu Yanyue suddenly changed her words and led the topic to Song Ranwan, Lu Ming was slightly stunned, and then replied calmly: "Lu Ming doesn't know." ”

"Her Royal Highness seems to be dissatisfied with me." Lu Yanyue's tone seemed to be wrapped in a bit of loss, which provoked Lu Ming to subconsciously turn his head and look at Lu Yanyue.

"This time out of the palace is the intention of Her Royal Highness the Princess, not the arrangement of the crown prince." Lu Ming reminded in a friendly way, and there seemed to be another layer of meaning in these words.

Lu Yanyue turned her head to Lu Ming's gaze, and her heart trembled unconsciously, the meaning of Lu Ming's words made Lu Yanyue fall into thought.

"So, Her Royal Highness has already put aside her opinion of me?" Lu Yanyue asked calmly, for the meaning of Lu Ming's words, Lu Yanyue hoped that he had misunderstood, otherwise......

"I don't know." Lu Ming replied again, and at the same time withdrew his gaze, and searched around again.

"If it is about Her Royal Highness the princess, the crown princess should ask the prince, and the result will definitely be more accurate than asking Lu Ming." Lu Ming opened his mouth in a sneer, and then stopped to draw his bow and charge in one direction......

"Beep-" As Lu Ming let go, an arrow drew a graceful arc in the air, and finally plunged into a tree, and the muffled sound hit Lu Yanyue's heart solidly.

Lu Ming shook his head slightly disappointed, and muttered, "Damn, run away." ”

Lu Yanyue stared at Lu Ming with a little uneasiness, as if she wanted to see through what Lu Ming was thinking. But Lu Ming's face, in addition to the loss of the prey, has a similar indifference as Song Anxiao.

It seems that most of the attendants are like this, receiving high-intensity training from an early age, and rarely touching the indifference caused by entertainment. It makes the attendant seem as if he has no emotion, and most of the time his emotions are not shown on his face.

Even the occasional emotions were only slightly revealed, and they were quickly put away.

"Let's get out." Lu Yanyue lost interest, as if she was affected by Lu Ming's emotions, and Lu Yanyue's tone was also a little lost and impatient.

Hearing this, Lu Ming turned his head to look at Lu Yanyue, nodded and turned the direction of the horse. "The road here all looks the same." Lu Yanyue couldn't help but say what she thought. There is no fixed path in the woods, and it is impossible to determine the direction in which you are coming. If there is only Lu Yanyue alone at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out until tomorrow.

"Look at the trees." Lu Ming gently spit out two words.

"Trees?" Lu Yanyue was a little puzzled, and followed Lu Ming to take a closer look at the surrounding trees, but she really couldn't see any difference.

"Well, the animals here tend to hide in the depths, so the deeper you go, the more arrowholes you see, and the surrounding vegetation is sparser than the outside."

"But there are more arrow holes and some less, how can this be used to find the way?"

"Direction." In response to Lu Yanyue's question, Lu Ming replied again.

"......" Lu Yanyue heard Lu Ming's answer, and there was obvious displeasure on her face, "You have to ask me?" Lu Yanyue opened her mouth, and her tone was a little worse.

After Lu Ming glanced back at Lu Yanyue, the corners of his mouth lightly outlined a shallow smile, and continued to explain: "The direction of the arrow hole, coming in from the outside, it is impossible for the arrow shot to go around the back of the tree. So, walking in the direction of the arrow hole is the way out. ”

Lu Yanyue completely understood this, but she didn't continue to say anything, after all, Lu Ming's answer with a whip made Lu Yanyue feel a strong disgust.

After leaving the forest, he didn't see Song Anxiao, Lu Yanyue looked around and said lightly: "Prepare some dry firewood, set up a fire, and when the prince comes out, we can barbecue meat." ”

"Yes." After agreeing, Lu Ming tied his horse to a stump and picked up firewood at the edge of the forest. Qiqi was still silent, until he received Lu Yanyue's signal, and then he went to help Lu Ming.

Lu Yanyue saw that the two of them were busy working, and after getting off the horse, she couldn't help but stroll around the hunting ground.

Although it is a hunting ground, there is no other space for hunting in addition to the forest. For example, in the ring, the shooting range, and even in a reserve room, Lu Yanyue saw a chessboard and rice paper specially drawn......

No wonder it is said that the eunuchs like to come to the hunting ground when they receive guests!

The sky was getting dark and dusk was approaching, and Qiqi Luming and the two set up a fire, although Song Anxiao had not yet come out of the forest. But Lu Ming still succeeded in catching a rabbit, and after the two became angry, they began to process the rabbit.

By the time Lu Yanyue came back, the rabbit had already exuded an attractive fragrance. When the three of them were about to move their mouths to the rabbit, there was a sound of horses' hooves in their ears, and then Song Anxiao appeared in everyone's eyes.

Looking at the fragrant rabbit, Song Anxiao threw his basket beside Lu Ming, controlled the horse with an indifferent face, and sat down himself.

"Wow! So much! Lu Yanyue got up and looked at Song Anxiao's basket, there was really a lot of harvest in it, and there was a sense of worship in her tone!

After Song Anxiao glanced at Lu Yanyue indifferently, he silently lowered his hand at the animals in the basket. Skillful techniques, you can see at a glance that this is definitely not the first time.
