Section 235 Chapter 235 Surprise
'Whoosh-'
A sharp arrow pierced through the gap in the trees and instantly struck a pheasant looking for food. The moment the pheasant fell, a figure cheered and rushed over. Half an hour later, the pheasant was cleaned up and roasted on the fire.
With Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao here, the game in the forest is indispensable, and this pheasant is just one of them. Lu Xianger and Sheng Ruoxi went through a horse race, and when they were drenched in sweat, they sat in the carriage and drank the tea brewed by Luyun and Luxiu.
Li Wenhao saw that there seemed to be less game on the bonfire, so he raised his bow and arrow again and gave Huo Qingsong a look. Huo Qingsong looked at Lu Xiang'er on the side, then nodded and got up. The two took Huo Shan and walked into the woods again, but Huo Kai stayed behind to continue roasting game. Who let him have the ability to barbecue meat, which makes Lu Xianger and Sheng Ruoxi like it very much.
Besides, when Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao entered the woods, they heard the sound of 'rustling'. The two immediately glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. With the experience of the two of them hunting many times, such a loud voice must be a wild boar. thought of the few dishes that the wild boar made at the suggestion of Lu Xianger a month ago, but they still make Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao unforgettable.
After glancing at Huo Shan and letting him stay where he was, Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao separated and slowly approached the place where the sound came from. As the voices became louder and louder, Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao each hid behind a big tree and secretly looked out. Sure enough, I saw a huge wild boar rubbing its back against a big tree.
Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao glanced at each other, and at the same time raised the bow and arrow in their hands and pulled it into a 'full moon shape'. The boar seemed to sense the danger, and suddenly stopped, and turned to run deep into the woods. And just as it lifted its foot, their hands were released.
There were two more 'whoosh' sounds, and the two arrows went straight to the wild boar like meteors catching the moon. In an instant, two arrows pierced the wild hunt's skull at the same time. The boar fell like a pheasant before it, and its hind legs moved slightly, and finally regained its composure.
"What a big boar!" Huo Shan, who heard the voice, quickly ran over. When he saw the wild boar on the ground, he took a breath of cold air, and then said: "Two Langjun, this wild boar is too big, so the small one will call Huo Kailai." ”
"Go ahead." Huo Qingsong nodded and began to look at the surrounding scenery. But Li Wenhao looked carefully at the arrow wound on the wild boar, and couldn't help shaking his head: "I think I haven't slackened in practicing martial arts all day long, but I still can't catch up with my sister-in-law, I'm really discouraged." ”
Huo Qingsong turned his head and glanced at Li Wenhao, and said lightly: "Xiang'er said, this is a matter of talent, and it has nothing to do with diligence. ”
"You, you husband and wife are so similar." Li Wenhao almost didn't breathe this breath, but thinking of the situation that he has been at the bottom in the past few years, Li Wenhao can only slowly calm down his mood. There is no way, Huo Qingsong is a person who is as cunning as a fox, and Lu Xianger is even more clever, how can Li Wenhao be the opponent of these two.
Shaking his head helplessly, Li Wenhao pulled out the two arrows on the wild boar, and suddenly said: "Yesterday, Uncle received the news from Gaochang Xizuo that Ju Chenhao had stopped continuing to invade the surrounding small countries. All the troops are slowly returning to Gaochang. ”
"Ju Chenhao wants to fight again, except for Tufan in the west and Rouran in the north, it is our Great Zhou." Huo Qingsong took the arrow handed over by Li Wenhao and threw it into his quiver, his tone was very calm. However, Huo Qingsong still admired Ju Chenhao for almost expanding Gaochang's territory by half in three years.
Although Li Wenhao also admired Ju Chenhao's courage, after listening to Huo Qingsong's words, he frowned and said in a low voice: "Uncle said the same thing, then who do you say Ju Chenhao will be going to fight next?" ”
"I don't know." Huo Qingsong found a big stone and sat down, looked at the northwest direction for a long time, and then said: "However, if I were Ju Chenhao, after reorganizing the troops, I would send troops to Rouran." ”
"Rouran?!" Li Wenhao raised his head slightly, thinking about what Huo Qingsong said. It wasn't until he heard the footsteps of Huo Kai and Huo Shan that he seemed to understand what Huo Qingsong meant. However, it was also because of the arrival of Huo Kai and Huo Shan that Li Wenhao did not continue to chat with Huo Qingsong.
Tie up the wild boar, Huo Kai and Huo Shan lifted it, and returned to the place where the group had settled before with Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao. Lu Xiang'er and Sheng Ruoxi, who had almost rested, had been standing by the bonfire and waiting after listening to what Huo Shan said before.
Seeing the four of them and the wild boar, Sheng Ruoxi hurriedly took Lu Xiang'er's hand and said happily: "I have long heard Li Wenhao say how delicious the dishes you made with wild boars last time were." Xiang'er, I have to taste it this time, so I will be willing to leave Dengzhou. ”
"That's natural. This boar is so big, it's okay to take some with you when you leave. Lu Xiang'er recalled the last wild boar banquet, and also had an urge to drool. But when she saw the dead image of the wild boar and the blood stains that were about to dry up, Lu Xiang'er suddenly felt sick to her stomach.
Huo Qingsong was very concerned about Lu Xiang'er's every move, and found that her face was a little pale and her expression was very unsightly. Huo Qingsong walked in front of Lu Xiang'er in a few steps, stared at his eyebrows and asked, "I see that your face is wrong, is it uncomfortable there?" ”
"It's a little uncomfortable, maybe it's too hot. Cool down a little longer, and it should be fine. Lu Xiang'er didn't want to spoil everyone's interest because she was upset, so she went back to the carriage and sat down. Lu Xiu also heard what Lu Xiang'er said, and immediately sent tea to relieve Lu Xiang'er's heat.
Although Sheng Ruoxi watched Huo Kai deal with the wild boar on the side, he kept paying attention to Huo Qingsong and Lu Xiang'er. Seeing Huo Qingsong, who was very cold in the eyes of outsiders, and caring for Lu Xiang'er so gently, Sheng Ruoxi was very envious every time. At the beginning, when Sheng Ruoxi came to Dengzhou to visit his cousin, he accidentally saw a similar scene, so he took the initiative to get acquainted with Li Wenhao. In the end, he met Lu Xianger through Li Wenhao, and he knew Li Wenhao very well.
"You don't have to envy Xiang'er. When you marry me, I will do even better than Qingsong. Li Wenhao saw Sheng Ruoxi's eyes, and quietly came to her side. Dropping a sentence in her ear, Li Wenhao walked to Huo Kai's side.
Sheng Ruoxi was so close to Li Wenhao for the first time, and when she felt his breath, her face turned red. Although Li Wenhao quickly left her side, Sheng Ruoxi still gave him a strange look. However, looking at the smile in Sheng Ruoxi's eyes, you can know how happy she is in her heart.
Like Lu Xiang'er, Sheng Ruoxi is also from a family of businessmen, but she does not have the spirit of a small family. When Li Wenhao saw her for the first time, he had a good impression of her. And with the prolongation of the time together, as well as the urging of Li Luo and his wife and Li Xingzhou to get married, Li Wenhao felt that Sheng Ruoxi was very suitable for him, and he also liked the coolness of Sheng Ruoxi.
After several round-trips between Dengzhou and Huaifeng Mansion, the Sheng family finally agreed to Li Wenhao's proposal to marry Sheng Jaanxi. Because the date has been set, the wedding will be held in three months, even if Sheng Ruoxi is no longer reluctant to go to Dengzhou, he will wait to return to Huaifeng Mansion to prepare for marriage.
"Lady, it's really wrong for the slave to look at your face, why don't you go back to the city and invite a Lang Zhong to take a look." Lu Xiu saw that Lu Xiang'er didn't pay attention to Huo Kai's handling of the wild boar, only to find that her face was white and scary, and she seemed to have a feeling that she would vomit at any time.
Lu Xiang'er waved her hand, rubbing her stomach, and said in a low voice: "Little lady Sheng is going back to Huaifeng Mansion, this is her last outing before marrying her cousin, don't sweep her move." ”
"But lady, your body ...... The slave maid has seen Lang Jun. When Lu Xiu was about to say something, he found that Huo Qingsong didn't know when he stood next to the carriage. And Lu Xiang'er, who was sitting with her back to the outside, and Lu Xiu, who was sitting inside, didn't notice it.
Huo Qingsong saw that Lu Xiu had found him, so he reached out and grabbed Lu Xiang'er's hand, forcing her to turn around. Seeing the look on Lu Xiang'er's face, Huo Qingsong immediately turned around and said to Li Wenhao: "Wenhao, Xiang'er is not feeling well, I will take her back to the city to see Langzhong." You ...... with Little Lady Sheng"
"Xiang'er is not feeling well, and she is still in the mood to stay, let's all go back." Sheng Ruoxi heard what Huo Qingsong said, and immediately ran to the carriage. Seeing that Lu Xiang'er was really as Huo Qingsong said, she quickly got into the carriage. At the same time, she also said to Li Wenhao: "You stay and deal with these wild meats, and I will accompany Xiang'er to watch Langzhong." ”
"What Ruoxi said is very true, Qingsong, you go first, and leave the rest to me." Li Wenhao didn't look disappointed by Lu Xiang'er at all, but urged Huo Qingsong to return to the city quickly. But after Huo Qingsong personally set up the carriage and left, Li Wenhao remembered something, and said to Huo Shan: "Huo Shan, you ride Huo Kai's horse, go to the Li Mansion to inform the eldest lady, and say that Xiang'er is unwell and let her go and see." ”
"The little ones are going." Huo Shan nodded, washed his hands with clean water, and rode into the city. And when Li Wenhao and Huo Kai returned to the Li Mansion with the wild boar and some game, the carriage that Lu Xiang'er was sitting in just now stopped at the gate of the mansion.
Li Wenhao was a little inexplicable, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it unwell, why don't you go home to rest." Is it just a small illness, so you don't have to worry? ”
Thinking that Lu Xiang'er might not have suffered from something too serious, Li Wenhao's heart that had been carrying it before slowly let go. There is no way, I think their Li family only has two daughters in total, Li Xingzhou is very close to Lu Xianger and Chaoxia, and he asks for two letters a month on weekdays. If Li Xingzhou really knew what serious illness Lu Xiang'er was suffering from, then Li Feng and his wife and Li Wenhao would definitely be scolded by Li Xingzhou first.
"Lang Jun, you are back." Li Wenhao had just dismounted, and the chief steward of the Li Mansion greeted him with a happy face.
When Li Wenhao saw the letter in the hand of Chief Steward Li, he immediately said strangely: "Who is the Chief Steward going to send a letter to?" ”
"Hui Langjun, I am giving good news to the old prince in Beijing." The chief steward smiled, and he could see the doubts in Li Wenhao's eyes, so he thought of something, and hurriedly said: "The old slave has forgotten that Lang Jun just came back and doesn't know it." Mrs. Huo has just been diagnosed by Lang Zhong and is pregnant......"
