Squeak –

Before everyone present could speak again, the main gate of the Three Princes' Mansion was slowly called.

The old butler was the first to go out, and in his left hand, he led two pure black dogs that were jumping around, and in order to keep his body balanced, he was trying his best to fall backwards.

Immediately behind the old butler was the winter solstice with a falcon standing on his shoulder, and although the cover on the falcon's eyes had not been removed, it stood as straight and straight as he did.

"Everyone, please wait a minute, the third master is waxing the bowstring."

The winter solstice walked to the stone steps in front of the mansion without humility or arrogance, and politely bowed to the people who gathered their eyes on him, "We plan to return in the evening, full of lunch, local materials, if there is any, there are still important things to handle in the house, please go back now, don't stay around, and then regret crying." ”

Everyone present did not have a child who was not yet a baby, even if he really encountered a situation where he urgently needed to return home and could not get out of the siege, he would not regret crying as the winter solstice said.

Everyone understands people, and as soon as they heard Dong Solstice say this, they understood that he was instructed by Ling Jun to come out to warn some people not to make trouble on his territory.

Of course, the advice of De Lingjun, the "evil star" of Yanjing, is never something to be celebrated, because the "advice" from him is usually fulfilled, and it is the most ugly and most fitting fulfillment of the "advice".

Making trouble on Lingjun's turf?

Who dares to ......

Everyone present turned their eyes to Zhu Yingzhen.

Then, riding his horse in unison, he took a few steps backwards in the direction opposite him.

If it weren't for Mu Rui's guidance, they would still be kept in the dark and bewitched by this guy.

Tsk, fortunately, I reacted in time and kept my distance from him, otherwise, I should have been affected by this guy and hated by Ling Jun!

It's dangerous!

It's really dangerous!

"Ying Zhen made an appointment with a friend to read at noon.".

"A man cannot stand without faith."

In the face of such an unceremonious eviction order, how can Zhu Yingzhen still have the face to continue to stay in this group of people?

drove the horse forward, arched his hand to the winter solstice without changing his face, and said goodbye with "regret".

"Today, I didn't have the opportunity to participate in His Highness's hunt."

"Later, His Highness will return with a full load, and then come to the door to confess."

After that, Zhu Yingzhen didn't wait for the winter solstice to speak, turned the horse's head, took his cronies and guards, and galloped away.

It's a human being, and it's inevitable to have a little temper.

Like Zhu Yingzhen, a young man who was sought after and pampered in the Chengguo Mansion was squeezed by the cold reception at first glance, and he couldn't hide his emotions, which was a very ordinary thing.

However, since the main gate of the Third Prince's Mansion was opened, Li Lanqi and Mu Rui, who had not said a word, only looked at each other and smiled.

Things are far from being as simple as those who get together, or whisper, or laugh and point out, whether it is the cause or the effect.

In fact, the old foxes of the major families all know that since the three invitations were issued, the chess game has begun.

Whether it is the person who received the invitation or the person who came up by himself, he is a player in the game, and Ling Jun, the person who sent the invitation, the person who holds this game of chess, no one dares to speculate about the game of chess to various points.

But what is certain is that those old foxes don't care at all, whether their juniors have become Ling Jun's pawns, what they want, or rather, what they care about is only their family, whether they can get benefits in this game of chess, and how much benefit they can get.

As for the fame, and even the lives of those juniors......

Family interests are above all else.

If only one or a few people's lives can be exchanged for promises and preferences that are beneficial to the family, then those people who are "fortunate not to disgrace their lives" will repay the family's nurturing grace!

Anyway, the most important thing in a famous family is the heir!

……

After about half an hour, "Ling Jun" held a hard bow in his hand, rode a dark cloud covered with snow, and went out of the house.

Seeing "Ling Jun" riding out of the main gate, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

You must know that at the entrance of each mansion, there are half-height stone platforms, these stone platforms, connected by multiple steps, can reach the bluestone road for people to walk, if you drive horses, jump straight from this stone platform, it is very easy to cause serious injuries to their front legs, unable to walk.

Of course, there are also good horses who can walk the stone steps, but this way of walking is more risky than jumping straight off the stone platform, and the riding skills of the rider are also more demanding.

"Third Master, your feather arrow."

The old housekeeper was not surprised that "Ling Jun" rode out of the house from the main gate, he casually stuffed the rope of two black thin dogs to the winter solstice, and held a bucket of arrows originally hanging on his waist in front of "Ling Jun", it seems that he is not surprised that he will go out in this way.

Originally, the two black dogs who were just jumping around excitedly, when they saw "Lingjun" riding out of the house, suddenly went against the norm and howled, and they were about to break free from the traction of the winter solstice and pounce on him.

"Ling Jun" twisted his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head, and glanced at them seemingly casually, and saw the two thin black dogs stiffen, wailing and curling up in place.

"Dog ...... barking at the owner"

"Ling Jun" reached out and took the quiver barrel, hung it on the horse's back, and then, his sword eyebrows twisted slightly, and he looked at the old butler who was already frightened and "changed his face".

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.

"The house, the house has hired a new cook, after noon, I came to try the spoon, listened, I heard, very good at cooking dog meat."

Today's "Lingjun" is pretended to be a tea falcon, and the hound will bark at him when it smells wrong, which is an inevitability.

Originally, Ling Jun designed this link, but he didn't expect that the tea falcon could shut up the two hounds with just one look, but obviously, this was unexpected, and the deterrence to the people present was far greater than nothing.

A person who has experienced the iron-blooded horses in the northwest and has been a housekeeper in the Three Princes' Mansion for many years, how can he be an ordinary person who is not good at dealing with flexibility?

Half a step back, waved his hand to the people in the door, and took the two black dogs away, the old housekeeper cautiously raised his head and asked "Ling Jun" if he wanted to bring out two new dogs.

"No, you don't."

"Ling Jun" responded casually, then rode his horse, jumped off the stone platform in front of the mansion, and went straight to Li Lanqi and Mu Rui.

The horse is a good horse, the tea falcon has made a lot of effort, and the small stone platform is difficult for him, but in the face of a group of people who want to pat him on the back, most people can't do it, it is not surprising that it caused an exclamation.

"Third Master."

"Third Master."

Seeing "Ling Jun" driving his horse towards him, Li Lanqi and Mu Rui hurriedly bowed to him.

"Shi Ze didn't come?"

"Ling Jun" raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to help him, and returned the salute of the two, and then, looking around, looked around.

"I heard from the people of the Chengguo Mansion that Shi Ze was in Zhuangzi outside the city, accompanying her sister on the last journey of this world."

Li Yuanru is the younger sister of Li Lanqi's mother, and Zhu Shize's scene at this time is naturally the most suitable for him.

Because it is still in the first month, mentioning words related to "death" is easy to make people feel unlucky, so Li Lanqi, who was born as a civil official, cleverly used wording to avoid this embarrassment.

"I've heard about Yuanru."

"Condolences."

"Ling Jun" sighed, stretched out his hand, patted Li Lanqi's shoulder gently, and comforted him, "Shi Ze is a lover, in the future, although he will not treat the two children lightly, it is not suitable in the end, and he asks too much about the things in the backyard." ”

"If you are an uncle, if you have leisure, you should go to the proper lady in the courtyard and go to him often, don't let the two children be wronged."

Li Yuanru is the young lady of Depingbo Mansion, and according to the rules and etiquette, "Lingjun" should not be called by her name.

But now, she has passed away, and the cause of death is still quite controversial, "Lingjun" calls her so, the meaning is very different from the usual.

He's expressing an attitude.

The attitude towards Li Lanqi is also the attitude towards Zhu Shize.

"Thank you for mentioning it."

Hearing that "Ling Jun" had such a clear attitude and was "friendly" with himself, Li Lanqi couldn't help but be a little flattered.

At that time, he had let the head of the Jiangnan battalion for the sake of wealth, and harmed the old general Jiang who was kind to Lingjun, for this reason, Depingbo Li Ming, his father, had decided to abandon him, however, from today, Lingjun's attitude towards him, should not know that he had done evil deeds in the past.

Thinking of this, Li Lanqi instinctively felt a little less confident.

"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of the jokes of the third master, my wife's wife has always been not on good terms with my little sister, but they are two equal wives, and I have a close relationship with her."

"Today, when the hunt is over, I will go back to the house and explain to the two of them."

Driving the horse to the side of "Ling Jun", he got a little closer, and Li Lanqi's waist was slightly straighter than before.

He was born in a civilian position, because he has a background in a martial arts family, and he is not as slender as an ordinary civil servant, riding on a horse, straightening his back, and even a scalp higher than "Ling Jun", which makes people look at it from afar, but it is also quite heroic.

"The truth is that the world is unpredictable, how can a good person ...... Ay! It's also bitter Shi Ze, this New Year's month, the city is cold, and the Zhuangzi outside the city, how cold must it be! ”

Mu Rui drove forward and echoed a sigh, and then, from an angle that others could not see, he made the handle of the horsewhip and gently poked Li Lanqi's waist.

The touch of the hard object made Li Lanqi's body stagnate slightly.

Turning his head and looking at Mu Rui, he saw that he was deliberately arching his back, making himself, who was originally half a fist taller than "Ling Jun", stiff, more than half an inch shorter than him, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Seeing Mu Rui's move, Li Lan hurriedly twisted her eyebrows.

When he figured out what Mu Rui meant, he was scared into a cold sweat in an instant.

Hurriedly shrunk back, making himself "shorter", and secretly expressed his gratitude to Mu Rui with his eyes.

Lingjun in the mother's womb, there is no less sin, after birth, was sent by the Longqing Emperor to flee and deceive death, in order to save his life, although later, was sent to the Northwest Army, handed over to the old General Jiang to raise, but after all, because of poor nutrition, delayed the growth.

He is shorter than Zhu Lingling and Zhu Lingling, although, in terms of real age, he is the eldest.

In the past, when Zhu Lingling was in power, he used to make fun of him with his height, and for this reason, he beat Zhu Lingling and let Zhu Lingli stay in bed for three months to recuperate.

It was at that time that he got his name as the "evil star", and it became louder and louder day by day.

The most taboo thing about Ling Jun is that some people say that he is short.

Although he never said it explicitly, in Yanjing, no one knows about this matter.

"Yes, the world is unpredictable!"

"Who knows, today's people with infinite scenery will be in a slump tomorrow, and even their families will be ruined!"

"Ling Jun" pointed to something, threw out a sigh, and then, slowly turned around, lowered his voice, and asked Mu Rui and Li Lanqi who were following him, half jokingly, "You say, today, the person I helped and saved his life will become an arrow piercing my chest in the future, Lan Qi, Rui?" ”

"Arrows never have a will of their own."

"The third master is good at bowing, and he knows how to control the arrow, so that he will not hurt a few people."

Mu Rui lowered his eyebrows, looking like he didn't understand what "Ling Jun" was referring to, but his answer was clear, without the slightest hesitation, and he placed all his sincerity.

This kind of thing, Mu Rui in the past, would never do it.

He will always leave some leeway for himself, or in other words, even if he loses, he can survive, and he has a chance to make a comeback.

But this time, he didn't.

"There is no turning back when you open the bow, third master."

"As long as you are the one who holds the bow, why don't you be afraid, the arrow in your hand will mess up the rules and regulations."

Seeing Mu Rui's statement, Li Lan hurriedly echoed his words.

Man is a sword, he is a fish and meat, and now Ling Jun, but he is not a fool when he is in charge of his life and death, how can he not know how to decide?

"That's right."

"Ling Jun" seemed to be quite satisfied with the answer to the two.

He smiled and nodded, turned his head, looked at the guards who were already waiting in line, and made a departure gesture to Fifteen, who was standing at the head of the line.

Fifteen leaders gave orders, and the team also started.

Riding a horse behind the fifteenth winter solstice, he took off the hood covering the falcon's head, raised his arms, and let it go straight into the sky.

……

Royal, there is a special hunting ground.

But this time the hunt was started by Ling Jun's invitation to friends, and others came to gather privately, and they didn't know that Emperor Longqing would come, so it was not suitable to go to the royal special hunting ground.

In order not to disturb the livelihood of the people, "Lingjun" specially ordered the fifteenth to take people to take the first step, so that when the cloth curtain went to the ordinary, no one would set foot in the wild forest to encircle wild things, and in order to "supply convenience", the location of this wild forest was set in Miaofeng Mountain, which was only ten miles away from Deshui Xuan.

"Ahead, it's Miaofeng Mountain, third master."

The winter solstice drove the horse back, and when he reached a place seven or eight steps away from "Lingjun", he tightened the reins and stopped the horse, "Fifteen has not returned, and it seems that it should take a while to circle it." ”

"There's no hurry."

"Lingjun" responded with a smile, then tightened the reins slightly, slowed down the mount, turned around, and looked at the people behind him, "There are many people today, there is no color head, it will not be lively, if not, I will be the east, and the person who won the first prize, a birthday banquet of De Shui Xuan, everyone, what do you think?" ”
