Chapter Seventy-One: News Leaked
He Anyue and Meng Lu hid in the hidden bushes for a while, and then heard a sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Meng Lu approached slightly in the direction of He Anyue, the distance between the two was very close, so close that He Anyue could feel Meng Lu's slightly hot breath in his ears, making his ears uncontrollably red. Obviously, Meng Luye found out about this, he wanted to distance the two of them, but it was too late, they had already arrived here.
"Big brother, we can catch a few more wild deer today, little sister, she doesn't believe they can catch it." A bold voice appeared first, and He Anyue could just see the scene there, it was a dark-skinned man, riding on a horse, and saying this to the man in front of him, but this "big brother" did not look back at him.
"Then it's up to you, I won't help you." He Anyue could only see his side face from the angle, but found that his side face was very similar to Meng Lu, but it was not as gentle as Meng Lu, but it was a little more powerful.
"I see that the fourth brother is joking." A man dressed in an Avic woman's costume rode a horse in a row with the man they called "Big Brother".
"Seventh sister? Aren't you inconvenient? β
"The fourth brother can come out, why can't I come out? Daddy doesn't necessarily favor the fourth brother, right? The woman raised her head coquettishly, not even looking at the "fourth brother", obviously not taking her "fourth brother" to heart.
Obviously, her fourth brother also saw it, and did not speak, smiled awkwardly, and attracted attention to a wild deer not far away, "Look at me and catch it, this is the deer for our dinner tonight." A hint of certainty flashed in the man's eyes, his legs clamped, and he rode out of the place.
"Big brother, what kind of identity is he, why did Daddy let him come? What a disappointment. The woman glanced at the man riding a horse in front of her, and her voice was not loud or small, and she did not know if she had said it to him on purpose.
Side by side with her is the next heir of the Aviks, Aquino.
"Ah Shujing, don't be so rude, he is your fourth brother." Aquino watched his fourth brother walk away before he spoke to her.
"Him?" Ah Shujing pointed to the man who ran away, "I don't have a second-class brother with a mother, my brother is only you." "In the Avik clan, the most important thing is hierarchical status, so Ah Shujing, who has been pampered since childhood, naturally will not look down on that kind of "brother", just like when she bullied the Menglu brothers, arrogant and rude.
"Ah Shujing." Aquino finally turned his head and looked at his own sister coldly, "Sometimes, I really wonder if you are my own sister after all. β
"Brother." Ashu Jing was about to say something, but was interrupted by Aquino. "I'm here today for hunting, don't waste time, this month's ration depends on our harvest today, if the harvest is not satisfied, my father should blame me."
"Afraid of what?" Ah Shujing chuckled, very disdainful, "Didn't my brother have the news of the enemy?" They are short of food and grass, and General Naga is still sick, isn't it easy to win? β
"Shut up." Aquino looked around, making sure that no one was around to continue talking, "How many times have I said that don't just say the military secrets you heard from Daddy. β
"Oh." A Shujing obediently lowered her head, very aggrieved, since she was a child, her father and mother were used to herself, only her brother, who has always been cold and preachy, never hugged herself, and never praised herself.
Aquino looked at his sister, but still didn't speak, his sister couldn't see the reality clearly, and his mother couldn't see the reality when she was indulging in the fight, but she couldn't. He looked up at one of the tallest mountains in the distance.
"Ah Shujing, you have to remember that you are the proudest princess of our Avik clan, but in the same way, you can't be disproportionate, treat everyone with kindness, and can't belittle them because of your status, otherwise, over time, those people will bite you back at a moment when you don't pay attention."
"Oh." Ah Shujing would not listen to her brother obediently, she saw a gray-furred rabbit in the grass beside her, so she smiled and rode after it.
Aquino looked at his sister, sighed, and shook his head. They brought only some of their subordinates, and most of them were good at hunting, and only a few of them came out to protect them.
"Young patriarch, isn't it a bit too much for you to treat the princess like this?" A subordinate stepped forward and looked at him in embarrassment.
"Let her remember for a long time, the situation has been very unstable lately, I'm afraidβ" Aquino lowered his head and said no more.
"It's also," the subordinate sighed, "I see that the old matriarch of the Jurchen seems to miss Mrs. Na again." β
"Besides, let's hunt well today." Aquino didn't say anything and rode away.
After making sure that there was no one nearby, Meng Lu stayed away from He Anyue.
He Anyue's legs were numb because of a long-term movement, and when she wanted to stand up, her legs were weak and she fell directly into the bushes behind, and the sharp branches threw through the thin clothes, cutting her skin.
"Hiss--" He Anyue was so painful that she couldn't stand up for a while.
"What's wrong?" Meng Lu had just recovered and saw He Anyue lying aside, and hurriedly held her back to see her situation clearly.
"There's thorns in this bush." Meng Lu frowned, "I have to help you pick it out quickly, or it will enter your bloodline." β
"I..." He Anyue wanted to refuse, she shook her head desperately.
"There's no time, it's all what men are afraid of." Meng Lu saw that He Anyue's back had been cut by the bushes in several places, and he was worried about her body and wanted to forcibly undress her.
"I'm notβ" He Anyue called Meng Lu off.
Meng Lu looked at her blankly, forgetting that his hand was still on He Anyue's chest.
He Anyue looked at Meng Lu, she was helpless for a while, and she had to endure the sharp pain in her back and look at him, saying word by word, "I am a woman." β
After speaking, she lowered her head, very guilty, "I'm sorry I lied to you." β
Meng Lu swallowed in fright, "Who knows?" β
He Anyue originally wanted to talk about Li Xuanwu, but it seemed that he had said not to tell others about his woman before, and it seemed that he couldn't be involved, so she shook her head.
"But..."Meng Lu looked at He Anyue in embarrassment, "You have to get the thorn in your back out as soon as possible." β
"I'll come by myself, I should be able to detect the wound, if I can't call you again"
Meng Lu nodded, squatting stupidly in place, his hand still not moving away.
He Anyue blushed, "You turn around." β
Meng Lu put down his hand in a panic, stood up and walked not far away in two steps, not daring to look back at He Anyue, his ears were also red.
