Chapter 22: The Storm is Coming

After laughing for a while, everyone dispersed, each heading in their own direction.

I turned my horse's head toward the woods.

"Miss Sujin." Li Mingquan suddenly shouted, and I hurriedly grabbed the reins. "The emperor asks the girl to reminisce here."

I was puzzled, but I still followed obediently, and the guards behind Bei Yuliang made way for him, and I slowly followed him on horseback.

It's still the original road, and the maple leaves turn into green bamboo, and the transition is a little unnatural. The smell of earth pervades the air, mixed with the charm of coolness.

His waist is still the same ring, which he wears close to his body, and it seems to be very precious.

"Who taught you your archery?" He asked, but didn't look back.

After hesitating for a while, he replied, "I secretly practiced when I was at Liu's house." ”

"Do you hate them?"

I was stunned, Bei Yuliang must have investigated me, but why did he do this?

"I hated before." I replied in a whisper.

Bei Yuliang also slowed down, and gradually side by side with me, he still seemed to be very afraid of the cold, with a short cloak on his shoulders, embroidered with gray hibiscus, gray was not conspicuous, but the pattern of hibiscus was very conspicuous, such a feminine pattern should not be what he would choose.

"Don't hate it now?" Only then did he raise his eyes to look at me, and those eyes were stained with light gray-brown, which was strangely beautiful.

"Hate, it's just a little lighter than before."

He turned his head again, looked into the distance, and after a moment said, "You are being honest." ”

"In front of the emperor, don't dare to lie."

It is another long road, the difference is that yesterday it led to Huaishuling, and today this road leads to a section with many pines and cypresses.

"Why did you enter the palace?"

Why enter the palace? For revenge? For the restoration of the country? Again, just to prove that he is still alive.

"People like me, who are good at nothing, can't survive outside at all. In the palace, serving the master, you can also eat with a mouthful of food. ”

The memory suddenly went back to the past, and the days of being kicked out by the Liu family were difficult, and I thought I couldn't survive, but I underestimated myself. Eating chaff and begging along the street, maybe they feel pitiful when they see my severed hand, and at the end of the day, they can change a few coppers for a bun to continue their lives.

Bei Yuliang didn't speak again, and suddenly rode his horse and galloped, followed by a team of guards.

I don't know if I said something wrong or if it was a whim on his part, but it's not fake at all.

"Miss Jin can hunt in the hunting area, the old slave followed the emperor first, take care of the girl." Li Mingquan also drove away on horse, leaving me and the unreliable horse.

I thought it was boring, so I got down and led the horse, which was very well-behaved and looked much more pleasing than before.

Suddenly the wind started, the originally damp clothes were even colder, the hair flew wildly, and the wind and sand also lost the eyes.

The small thuds were very clear to me, and I clenched my fists, and when the sound approached, I quickly struck out and grabbed the incoming person's neck.

In front of him is a gentle face like water, a pair of water-cut eyes that look pure and harmless, obviously in the moment of crisis, but still smiling.

"Lan Zhi?" immediately withdrew his right hand, and secretly reproached her for coming without a sound, if Fang had just made a killing intent, the force in his hand would not be so easy to control.

Lan Zhi smiled: "The princess's vigilance is too strong. ”

She was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and she looked like a small farmland jasper, which was more agile than her usual gorgeous clothes.

"Why are you here? Your presence like this will attract attention. ”

She didn't answer and pulled out a letter.

The letter paper is rough, and in the lower right corner is the symbol of the pavilion.

There are only two lines written on the letter, and Juanxiu is slightly drunk, and the shadow of the moon is clear.

Beware of shadowing...... Why should I be careful about filming?

Lan Zhi pursed her lips, watched me crumple the letter paper, and whispered: "Some people, I have to be guarded, the old pavilion master asked me to bring a message to the princess, there are some things, I hope the princess is a little measured, don't be emotional." ”

"I see, you can go back. Before you get evidence to prove that Langying has two hearts for the cabinet, you are not allowed to act rashly, and when there is news, you will come to me. ”

"Yes." She knew that I was different from others, and she couldn't persuade me, so she left without saying anything.

I swore to heaven that whoever disobeys me will die.

However, it is much harder to do.

I still remember that once, only one of ten girls could be left behind.

Trembling and drawing his bows, he listened to them fall to the ground one by one wailing, tearing off the silk cloth that covered his eyes. Only Langying is still alive, and I wishfully exchanged the lives of nine people for one of her, but I forgot that she also has a heart and hatred.

Stretching out his hand, the tiger's mouth is a thin cocoon left by the perennial bow and crossbow, these hands can no longer play the piano, but can easily take a person's life.

The cypress trees are tall, and the layers of outer bark are slowly fading, and the old and the new are hidden together. The cool air filled the whole forest, seeping into the placket of the clothes and into the cool hearts of the people.

A sika deer paced not far away, with sturdy limbs and bright fur.

Take the arrow, draw the bow, squint your eyes slightly, as if you have gone back in time, back to the time when you first learned archery.

The arrow, with the momentum of breaking the bamboo, scratched the empty trace, and was suddenly cut off by another arrow on the side at the moment before it was about to be shot, and instantly turned into two sections, and the arrow only scratched the skin of the deer.

The sika deer was frightened and galloped into the forest.

Chen Yanjin, who frowned at the bad guy and did good things, wore a Jinlan robe, a light smile in the clouds, and deep black pupils.

The paddock is so big, but they just meet, and they don't know what it's like.

"It's a young deer, it's too young, let's let it go." He said lightly the reason why he stopped me, and I couldn't even find a reason to refute it.

Obviously, you can easily hurt a person's life, you can kill Suoxin without feeling guilty, but now you are showing kindness to a deer, which is really strange.

He didn't have a single prey on his horseback, and he suddenly remembered what Nata had said, and couldn't help but laugh.

A character like Beiyu Jinchen can only be cured by a character like Ruxue or Nata.

"You can't get good stuff here." He looked at me and smiled, as if he felt a little inexplicable.

I restrained myself for a moment and replied, "What does the prince mean to go to the back mountain?" ”

He raised an eyebrow and said, "What?" Don't you dare? ”

I was angry, "What don't you dare, I can wear Yang in a hundred steps, what else am I afraid of." ”

The corners of his lips were raised, outlining an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He turned his horse's head and walked towards the back hill on his own.

As soon as the words came out, I couldn't wait to give myself two slaps in the face, how could I be so easy to fall for other people's agitation, where did all my usual calmness go.

There are a few lonely purple wildflowers on the side of the road, which are particularly eye-catching in a pile of weeds, if it is placed in the hundred gardens of the palace, it must only be dug up as weeds by the imperial craftsmen, and only in the wilderness, in the lonely autumn, can people perceive its beauty, just like people, those women who are crowded to enter the palace, and in the end can only end in tragedy. Why don't they live freely outside, for the sake of honor and wealth, and they have to suffer. Perhaps, being involuntary is the greatest sorrow in life.

Walking one after the other, just like the first time we met, it was also such a distance, it seemed that the faint smile he left me for ten thousand years was the back that gradually faded away.

"King Yongyi and the emperor had the best relationship during the first emperor, and they still have the same."

He suddenly said something that made me think for a while.

Those words of King Yongyi before the hunt suddenly appeared in his mind, the maids he casually brought that day were all extraordinary, if it wasn't for my interruption, he would have given those women to ministers and other nobles, and they would have become good chess pieces to report to him, I thought that the helplessness in Bei Yu Liangyi's eyes was true, and it seemed that they were all cooperating.

"What do you mean...... The emperor's self-directed is already playing again, I do the most, do the most, do the most I act? In this way, the rumored puppet emperor is actually cultivating his own power.

I have come to the back mountain pass unconsciously, I don't know if it is the reason or the psychological effect of the wind outlet behind the mountain pass, the closer to the back mountain, the colder the air.

He drove into the mountain pass with ease, and I tightened my horse's belly to follow closely, and when I reached the fork in the mountain pass, the horse suddenly stopped, snorted, and froze not to enter.

I felt embarrassed and poked the horse's back to signal it to enter, only to turn its head and point its ass at the back of the pass.

Is...... Spirituality.

I simply dismounted, grabbed the reins and dragged forward, and I had to teach it a lesson today.

It pulls on its hind legs, and it doesn't move forward.

Exerting all the strength of his body, it suddenly roared, broke free from the reins and ran away, and I was thrown far away at once, and sat on the slightly wet ground.

For a moment, I really wanted to shoot an arrow, and I sat on the ground for a long time to get rid of my anger.

Got up and patted the dirt on his clothes, Beiyu Jinchen watched not far away, feeling embarrassed, but he still walked up to him, took off the quiver and tied it to the side of the saddle, looked up at him, and hinted that he would give me a ride.

He looked at the horses that had run away, then at me, and finally couldn't help laughing. The smile from the heart, without the sense of alienation and indifference as always, without the indifference when calculating others, is a little kind and a little demagogic.

I cut his hair, pulled his sleeve, and climbed up on my own.

This time, riding the same horse felt much more natural than last time, and I took the reins and drove the horse.

The horse's hooves tread unhurriedly, and although the back mountain is very dangerous, the scenery is even better.

The further back you go, the more and more wild chrysanthemums bloom early, clustered together, warm and colorful.

The special aroma of chrysanthemum fills the air, and every sip is fragrant, unlike the chrysanthemums carefully cultivated in the palace, the flowers here look more proud, and even the fragrance is different.

I was enjoying the beautiful scenery on the side of the road, and when I raised my eyes, I saw an eagle flapping its wings in the air, which was huge and rare to see.

Three feathered arrows were drawn from the quiver, put them on the string, and shot them with all their might, and with a "boom-" sound, the string broke, and the three arrows fell to the ground, almost scratching my hand.

All the unfortunate things have appeared in a row, and I don't know what kind of auspicious day of the zodiac is today.

The crossbow on his hand is a very delicate gilded crossbow, with blue obsidian inlaid on the left and right sides, and crystals around it. However, such a quality is not as good as the shoddy ones on the market, and the more I hold it in my hand, the more angry I become, and I shake it off in the grass.

There was another sound of brushing in the grass, and the crossbow actually hit the grass snake that was dormant in the grass, the silver-gray snake skin, the scales still shimmering, and it straightened its upper body, spitting red letters.

My hands are covered in cold sweat, and I have to say that even though I have experienced so many things and killed so many people, I am still inevitably afraid of a grass snake.

Suddenly remembering that he was not alone, he turned sideways and clung to the man's clothes.

"Don't move." He whispered in my ear.

Then little by little he slowly put the arrow on the string, and in an instant, the grass snake rushed up, and it was obvious that he had no time to shoot the arrow.

I lowered my head and buried it in the hem of his coat, and I said I would bite him if I wanted to.

"Okay, it's dead."

I opened one eye, just in time to meet his smiling black pupils, only to realize that I was almost hanging on him, and quickly let go of the hands that were holding the hem of his clothes.

The grass snake died less than a foot from me, its entire head pierced by a feathered arrow.
