Chapter 431: Prey in the Mountains

"It's a pity that there are only taverns here, no restaurants." Ruan Miaoling got up with a smile, and a drop of coldness suddenly fell on her forehead.

"Look, it's snowing." She stretched out her hand, and soon three or five more snow foams fell on the palm of her hand, touching the heat of the palm, and instantly turning into almost invisible water marks.

Qiu Daqian and Huang Ba turned their backs at the same time, squinted their eyes and smiled: "This snow is not heavy, and the snow will stop in two days." โ€

Huang Liang turned his head to look at them, and then lowered his head and fiddled with the burning stick silently.

The ground shook suddenly, and the four of them looked around, only to see a black-armored soldier on a horse, galloping through the wind and snow.

"Deputy Supervisor...... Rear camp emergency order! โ€

Huang Ba dropped the burning stick and strode to stop the horse, "Where's the token?" โ€

The soldier hurriedly threw Sifan's token to him, and when he crossed over, Qiu Daqian had already stopped in front of him, "There is fire in front, I'm afraid of burning your feet......"

Huang Ba checked the token and nodded at Qiu Daqian, who let half of his body go.

The soldier gasped and said, "Deputy Supervisor, Han ...... The overseer is looking for you, saying that he is inviting you to enjoy the scenery in the nearby mountains. โ€

Ruan Miaoling kicked a pile of dirt to extinguish the fire, "You go back to the camp, I will leave immediately, and I can wait in the mountain in two quarters of an hour." โ€

The sound of horses' hooves was far away, Huang Liang had extinguished the last fire, and Qiu Daqian and Huang Ba also threw the roasted sweet potatoes into the sack and hung them on both sides of the saddle.

"It's snowing, and King Han doesn't eat, drink, and have fun in the tent, but runs to the mountains to enjoy the scenery?" Huang Ba buried the traces of the fire, and was the last to get on the horse, "As soon as he goes out, he is very restless when he enters the forest, in case the Tartar spies are ambushed in the forest......"

"Brother Ba, don't say a word!" Qiu Daqian spoke out to stop it.

Huang Liang said: "He is not wrong, let's enter the mountain in a while, everything is careful." โ€

"Miss, King Han has always only eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, will he eat our roasted sweet potatoes?"

Ruan Miaoling said: "He has been eating a lot of fish and meat recently, and he hasn't even eaten a piece of vegetable leaves, and his mouth is full of oil stars, and he needs to change his taste." โ€

"But I'm worried that King Han won't easily believe us after the last incident of blowing up the scorpion......"

"When he's hungry, he'll know how to write the word hunger." She smiled and whipped her horse, "Take a shortcut, although the road is a little narrower, but you can reach him before him." โ€

ยท

"The snow won't stop for a while, lord, let's stay in the tent for two more days."

King Han was dressed in a big hat, frowned, and said, "Sifan, this king has found that you have been getting wider and wider recently. โ€

He reined in his eyes and changed the casualness of going out. The thicker and thicker snowflakes fell on his angular and sharp eyebrows, which made people feel that he was reliable and trustworthy.

"Do you really think that this king will make himself tired and stinky for climbing mountains? Intelligence, this king needs the latest and most reliable information, so he risked his life and mediated with his niece! โ€

Si Fan was stunned, "Since this is the case, the prince can send the small one, why bother to mobilize the people?" โ€

King Han looked back at the fifty people he had brought out, as well as the long invisible brigade guarding the front of the barracks, and suddenly smiled: "Whoever doesn't let this king participate in the military situation discussion, this king will destroy her most beloved things!" โ€

He had already sent spies to lurk in the nearby mountains, and when he learned that since yesterday, a small force of enemy forces had entered the mountains, and the moment he learned the news, he thought of this plan.

Isn't Ruan Miaoling pampered and arrogant, he wants to kill her sharpness, and by the way, avenge the scorpion!

Si Fan saw that a thick anger gathered between his eyebrows, and came up to persuade him: "Miss Ruan is the deputy supervisor after all, how can she ......?"

"Naturally, this king can't do it, but what if it is replaced by a tartar?"

King Han laughed in the wind, and the dark sky at the end of the lake in the distance seemed to reveal a little dazzling light, as if he was in a mood at this time.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, the yellow and clear sand was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the king of Han swept away from afar, and did not see the horse's hoof mark on the snow.

"My niece came early enough, faster than the snow."

A long echoing female voice immediately came from the mountainside: "Uncle Cousin is slow, if you are a little later, I will go back." โ€

King Han sneered, patted his horse and rushed up the mountainside.

In the open space in front of the dry woods, a large felt blanket was spread, and a red stove was lit, on which a teapot was boiling, and the spout was purring hot water, and a few baskets of black and red things were placed by the stove.

"Cousin, please be seated." Ruan Miaoling sat cross-legged on the felt carpet and twisted a pinch of tea leaves into the cup, "I know that my cousin has often been with meat recently, so I specially boiled tea for you to clear your stomach." โ€

"No need, this king brought his own."

Si Fan put his own tea set on the table, and the soldiers who had gone to the forest stream to collect snow water had already turned back and rested the teapot on the stove.

Ruan Miaoling didn't talk to him, took a sweet potato from the basket, peeled off the hard skin, and the brown sweet potato flesh inside was suddenly exposed to the air, and the aroma immediately spread.

She took a bite, and the sweet and glutinous taste suddenly bloomed on the tip of her tongue.

"Niece, what are you eating?"

"Popular things, it's hard to get into the hall of elegance, my cousin is used to eating mountain delicacies, and he won't like it."

Huang Liang said from the side: "Lord Qiqi, this is a folk food, roasted sweet potatoes." โ€

Si Fan said a few words in the ear of King Han.

"You should have no problem eating just one......"

Si Fan whispered: "Has the prince forgotten the fried scorpion last time?" โ€

As they spoke, Ruan Miaoling had already finished eating one, took the second one, peeled it off and put it on a plate.

Qiu Daqian secretly patted Huang Liang's arm, and his eyes blinked a few times.

He knew that the basket of sweet potatoes in front of the young lady was roasted by Huang Liang, and the quality and aroma were better than theirs.

King Han said: "I'll let her eat half of it later, and I'll eat the other half, won't it be no problem?" โ€

When Si Fan heard him say this, he knew that he couldn't stop it, so he got up and took half of it and sent it to the King of Han.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, eat tea and rinse your mouth...... The snow water on the mountain is the purest, and the taste is much better than that we take by the river at the bottom of the mountain. โ€

King Han really didn't move, and waited until he quietly used a silver needle to test the sweet potato and tea respectively, and then let go of his arms to eat and drink.

"Huang Liang, send the rest to the soldiers, it's still hot." Ruan Miaoling said as she ate the half of the sweet potatoes left by Sifan.

"When my cousin is full, I will accompany you to the woods and listen to the soldiers in the barracks say that there is a lot of game in the nearby mountains."

King Han was eating happily, and he didn't have time to talk to her, so he had to nod frequently.

"Isn't my cousin curious why I took the initiative to invite you to hunt?" She paused and asked.

"Ahem...... Four Fan, water! โ€

The tea was piping hot, and Si Fan was afraid of burning his tongue, so he reached out and beat him on the back a few times in a hurry.

"Lord, you take care of it."

swallowed the sweet potato in his throat, and there were already large tears in King Han's eyes, "This king knows that you are a filial child, and the game in the mountains ......"

Ruan Miaoling smiled: "Wild game in the mountains, maybe it means something else?" โ€
