After arriving at the courtyard, Song Xingchen left under the cover of the two maids, and went to the mountain in Zhou Feng with Yelang.

Compared with the majestic and majestic scenery of other mountains or distant mountains and rivers, the feeling given to Song Xingchen here is weird, obviously green and green, but it always makes her feel in danger.

Ye Lang noticed Song Xingchen's feelings, so he took her hand and never let go, and said in a low voice: "This mountain has a lot of mechanism formations, as long as you follow me, you will be safe and sound, don't be nervous." ”

"Who's nervous." Song Xingchen said with a hard mouth, but he held Yelang's hand but didn't let go at all.

With Yelang leading the way, the two of them did not encounter danger along the way, and Song Xingchen didn't know that there were many pairs of eyes staring at her in the dark, even if she came by herself in the future, these people who had seen her would let her go and escort her.

Soon came to the training venue, Song Xingchen opened his mouth in surprise, and looked at the training method like purgatory on earth in disbelief.

Everyone is fighting with real knives and guns, and from time to time they have to guard against sneak attacks, and if they are not careful, they will be injured, and even more have been crippled, but they are still being attacked.

"Yelang, how many are left in the end with this way of training?" Song Xingchen felt a little chill in her heart, although she wanted to have her own secret guards and dead soldiers, she never thought of training in such an inhumane way.

"Their future tasks will be even more critical than the situation here, and those who can't get out of here alive will also die at the hands of others in the future." Yelang Zhengse said, understanding Song Xingchen's thoughts, so he explained.

Although Song Xingchen knew that in the era of cold weapons, life was often the cheapest, and he couldn't blame Yelang for what they did wrong, but seeing that those dying people were still trying their best to survive, he couldn't bear it to the core.

"What about those people? Is it meaningful for people who are already disabled to continue to fight? Since it's about training people, why don't you think of ways to maximize the value of these people? A corpse, at most, occupies a piece of land and is buried, and it is of no use to you. Song Xingchen pointed to the man who was besieged in the field, his arm had been broken, and his two legs were also injured to varying degrees.

"Wasted people are not qualified to live." Yelang said in a cold voice.

"But they have the right to live and they can do a lot of things." Song Xingchen insisted on human rights, "Yelang, if you don't need them, please hand them over to me, don't let people sacrifice in vain." ”

Looking at Song Xingchen's insistence, Yelang pursed his lips and did not speak.

At this moment, a long sword stabbed into the chest of the injured man, and Song Xingchen subconsciously shouted: "Stop, don't kill him!" ”

Ye Lang knew that Song Xingchen had always been stubborn, and with a flick of his wrist, a dart flew away, and the special sound made all the people in the training ground stop moving.

This special dart, only in the hands of Yelang and the leader here, the dart will make a special sound when it is shot away, but it will not attract the attention of the people outside the mountain, it is a signal in the hunting ground, and it works better than any language.

The injured escaped for the time being, but they were still instinctively guarding against it, struggling to survive.

"What's your name?" Song Xingchen stepped forward and bowed his head to ask the wounded.

Because it was the person brought by Yelang, no one stopped Song Xingchen from approaching.

"Seventeen." The young wounded replied.

"Want to live?" Song Xingchen asked again, with a faint expression.

"If you don't take revenge, you don't dare to die." The boy replied firmly.

"You are crippled, even if you are alive, how can you take revenge?" Song Xingchen didn't ask who the young man's enemy was, but he guessed that it was not an ordinary person.

"You have a chance when you live, and you never have a chance when you die." The young man grasped the hilt of his sword in one hand and spoke earnestly.

Song Xingchen turned around and said to Yelang: "I want this person." ”

"His code name will be filled by the next one." Yelang nodded, and the future of the boy was determined in one sentence.

The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, struggled to get up and kowtowed to Song Xingchen, "Subordinates see the master." ”

"I allow you to live, but if you are not allowed to take revenge, will you still confess me as Lord?" Song Xingchen asked lightly.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "No one who comes to the hunting ground is allowed to go over, I just hope that when I am on a mission for my master, I can meet that person just in time, or watch him die before me." ”

Song Xingchen was a little surprised by the young man's flexibility, but she was very satisfied with this answer.

Throwing out a bottle of wound medicine to the young man, Song Xingchen pulled Yelang away, and couldn't help but whisper on the way: "Yelang, will I cause you trouble if I did that just now?" ”

Song Xingchen didn't think about it all just now, but now she remembered that Yelang was not the master here, even if she wanted people, she shouldn't be in front of so many people.

"It doesn't matter." Looking at Song Xingchen's apologetic look, Yelang whispered.

surname

Xingchen put his mind at ease and asked again, "Is that all the people you trained just now?" Who are they? ”

"This is one of them, and most of them are on that mountain, where there is more brutal training, and only by standing at a certain height can they be qualified to fight." Yelang pointed to the highest mountain peak and said, "Being able to walk down that mountain alive is the only goal of these people after they come here. As for their status, there are orphans, beggars, people who have been bought back by death deeds, and death row prisoners. ”

Song Xingchen didn't feel strange when he heard this, the powerful and rich people in this era, human life is a matter of one sentence for them.

It's just that these people were selected to come to this hunting ground, and it's hard to say whether they were lucky or unlucky.

"Are they all voluntary?" Song Xingchen paused and asked, "Can you be sure that these people are all fine?" ”

"Yes." Yelang nodded, "Whether it is a dark guard or a dead soldier, there must be enough loyalty, otherwise it will only be bad, even if the person who is selected will be evaluated several times before they can get close to the core." ”

"That's good, I'm really afraid that these people will get other people's nails in them, then you will be in danger." Song Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing that Song Xingchen cared so much about his safety, Yelang hooked a smile, looked at Song Xingchen and asked, "Do you want to go to the mountain over there to see?" The people there will be able to carry out the mission in another month, and if you want to choose a few of them, it would be appropriate. ”

"No, now that you have the secret guards you gave me, I don't have to think about security for the time being, you can leave a few for me if there are suitable people, I want to equip everyone in the family with two secret guards to protect them." Song Xingchen raised his head, looked at the opposite mountain and said, "Yelang, if there are any injured and disabled people in the hunting ground in the future, give them to me, I promise that they will not be useless people, and you will never regret it." If the second prince asks, you should find a way to send him yourself, lest he be reluctant to let these people be taken away by me. ”

Seeing Song Xingchen's serious demeanor, Yelang nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”

"Let's go, didn't you say you were going to take me hunting? It's been a long time since I've been crazy in the mountains, so I have to get some results today. Song Xingchen changed the topic very quickly, not wanting Yelang to ask her what she wanted those people to do, this was the surprise she wanted to give him.

In other words, it is their guarantee in the future, the guarantee of the entire Song family.

Yelang knew every little action of Song Xingchen well, and he could see what Song Xingchen meant, and swallowed back the question he wanted to say.

"There are people training around here, the beasts are the ones who can feel the crisis the most, they won't appear at all, I'll take you to the mountain behind, there are the most beasts in it, but there are also many natural barriers and dangers, you prepare the medicine, so that I don't have a place to take care of you." Yelang knew that Song Xingchen liked to be adventurous, and he made this decision after struggling for a few days.

"Oh yes! Sounds exciting enough, but we'll compete to see who catches the most prey. Song Xingchen laughed, turned behind Yelang, skillfully jumped on his back, pointed ahead and shouted, "Go!" ”

"Honorable Order, Madam!" Yelang smiled briskly and carried away, like an arrow off the string.

Putting aside Yelang and Song Xingchen's hunting in the forest, the capital has been lively since Song Xingchen left.

The third princess, An Yanran, would intercede for a Xu Wan with a bad reputation, but it was a dispute of words between little women, there was no need to ruin the life of an innocent girl because of this, and as the county lord of the royal reward, he must be more tolerant.

The Song family went to Shuntianfu to withdraw the lawsuit full of grievances, and Xu Wan was immediately released.

"This stupid woman is not worthy of the surname Ann!" An Xuyan's face suddenly changed when he got the news, and the smile that he had always hung on his face disappeared.

The subordinates who came to return did not dare to gasp, waiting for An Xuyan's order.

However, An Xuyan returned to normal in just a breath, and waved his hand: "Let the housekeeper prepare a generous gift and tell the Song family that the third princess will only come forward when she is entrusted by others." ”

The subordinates hurriedly left, and An Xuyan sank his face at this time, thinking that the bureau he had set up was destroyed because of An Yan, and he was annoyed.

"An Yanran, next time, I will definitely teach you a long lesson!" An Xuyan slapped the table, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out.

In the Second Prince's Mansion, He Ruhui, who has fallen out of favor and has no rights, has a gloomy face all day long, and she has long lost the grace of the first talented woman in the capital.

Thinking of going to the queen to say hello to the queen a few days ago, she happened to meet An Yanran on the way, looking at her with flowers and branches and spring breeze on her face, He Ruhui was full of jealousy in her heart.

In the past, among the three princesses in the royal family, He Ruhui was the most envied, and they all said that she married the most perfect man in the world, not only good looks, but also all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and more importantly, she was favored by the saints, and had the highest possibility of becoming the crown prince.

And Zhou Feng also had some respect for He Ruhui in the years of his wedding, not as good as the eldest princess who fell out of favor, and An Yanran, who was disliked by the third prince since childhood, just a superficial scenery.

However, all this changed with the arrival of Song Xingchen, and what He Ruhui hated the most was Song Xingchen, but she did not allow people who were lower than her to live more nourishingly than her.

Therefore, with just a few simple words, He Ruhui successfully provoked An Yanran's competitiveness and hatred, and asked her to rescue Xu Wan in order to block Song Xingchen.

But He Ruhui never expected that Xu Wan had just returned to the Xu family, and the Qin family actually went to propose marriage, and the heavy dowry made many eyes red, but marrying an inhumane Qin Zishen, then Xu Wan would have no happiness in this life, and this chess piece would be wasted.

"Is this Xu family's brain pumping? Anyway, she is also a young lady of the official family, and she married a waste, and it was in vain that I used so much thought, I am damned! He Ruhui's eyes showed a fierce light, and it took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and said gloomily: "I, He Ruhui, will never do useless things, no matter who you Xu Wan wants to marry, you must be inseparable from Song Xingchen, otherwise I will kill you!" ”

In the Xu Mansion, Xu Wan, who was crying and begging Mrs. Xu to save herself, suddenly shuddered, and her choked voice was broken for a moment, how did she know that such a weightless person would be noticed by so many big people, and she would become a pawn of others.
