One hundred and forty is in a difficult situation
In desperation, Xiao Manxue only brought a change of clothes, and the rest of the baggage was filled with treasures to be brought to Yang Chengyue. There are recent supplements that the emperor rewarded her, shoes she secretly made in her spare time, and newly made pastries in the imperial dining room.
After leaving the palace and returning to King Jin's Mansion, Lin Wanyan and Xiao Manxue hurriedly changed into black clothes, put on hats, dressed up as Yue Ziwei, and followed Xiao Yuwen from the back door of King Jin's Mansion to get into the carriage, and went out of the city to the forbidden army tent.
A group of more than 20 people did not arrive until the hour. Yang Chengyue had already received the news and knew that Xiao Yuwen would come, so he had been waiting at the night sentry.
The Forbidden Army's Great Tent is in a hidden and barren basin hundreds of miles away from Nanli City, and at night, although there are lit bonfires outside the tents, the light is still not much better.
Xiao Yuwen was wearing black clothes and hats, and Yang Chengyue only recognized Xiao Yuwen and Linghu, Lingmu, and Lingyue who were walking in front, and he didn't notice Lin Wanyan and Xiao Manxue who were mixed in the middle of the Lingwei Guard.
It wasn't until Yang Chengyue led Xiao Yuwen into his tent, and Lin Wanyan and Xiao Manxue walked in after him, that he felt a little strange.
Under normal circumstances, even if it is the twenty-four supernatural spirits, they should be on guard outside the door at this time, and they will not follow behind Xiao Yuwen at all. It can be seen that Xiao Yuwen did not stop it, so it is difficult for him to say anything.
Xiao Yuwen took off the hat and put it aside, and Lin Wanyan and Xiao Manxue also took off the hat and held it in their hands.
At this time, Yang Chengyue, who was about to pour water, was stunned, his eyes were straight, and his face was full of surprise, "Sixth princess!
"Brother Chengyue!" Xiao Manxue ran to Yang Chengyue excitedly, wanting to reach out to hug him, but instantly shrank back. With a red face, he took off the burden from his shoulders and put it on the stool, just staring at him all the time.
"Third Master, should we avoid it?" Lin Wanyan said to Xiao Yuwen with a low smile. If he hadn't seen Xiao Yuwen for so long, he wouldn't have been so reserved, he would definitely rush up and hug and gnaw and bite, but if there were other people around, he would be embarrassed.
Xiao Yuwen frowned slightly, but still picked up the hat and put it on again, ready to go out. Lin Wanyan also put on a hat, took Xiao Yuwen's hand and walked outside the tent.
Seeing this, Yang Chengyue's face turned red, looked at Xiao Manxue, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Manxue's eyes turned red instantly, "Brother Chengyue, you are a liar, a big liar, the biggest liar in the world......!
Yang Chengyue didn't know what to say for a while, and when he saw Xiao Manxue shed tears, his heart suddenly became uncomfortable. Stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms to comfort her, but hesitated, stretched out his hand halfway and put it down.
Xiao Manxue couldn't hold back any longer, so she hugged Yang Chengyue's waist, put her face on his chest, and cried sadly.
Yang Chengyue had never experienced this kind of situation, and stood up straight helplessly.
But seeing Xiao Manxue crying, it was not a taste in her heart, she gritted her teeth, and plucked up the courage to hold her waist with one hand, patted her back with the other, and said gently: "Okay, okay, don't cry, King Jin and Princess Jin should laugh later!"
Xiao Manxue also felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, but this was the first time she hugged her brother Chengyue, and she was a little reluctant to let go, and her crying passed, but she still held on.
Yang Chengyue knew that Xiao Yuwen and Lin Wanyan were waiting outside, and he didn't dare to delay for too long. Seeing that Xiao Manxue slowly stopped crying, she reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, I'll send someone to arrange a tent, you and Princess Jin will rest first, and King Jin and I have to talk about something." ”
Xiao Manxue sniffed, reached out and picked up the burden she brought from the stool, handed it to Yang Chengyue, and said with a crying voice: "I brought you some food, I heard the grandmothers say, the food here is not good, have you lost weight?"
Yang Chengyue took the burden and turned around and put it on his bed, "It's not as good as the food in the palace here, but I'm used to it, don't worry, I see that you have lost some weight." Let's go, it's cold outside, don't let King Jin and Princess Jin wait for a long time. ”
"I'm fine. My grandmother often asked me to go to her palace for dinner, and my father always gave me some new dishes in the imperial dining room. When Concubine Jing sent someone to Suxinlou to buy snacks, she would always bring me cloud cakes. I like to eat, and I eat everything that others can't eat. Xiao Manxue put on her hat and walked out with Yang Chengyue.
"That's good. After Yang Chengyue finished speaking softly, he opened the door of the tent and let Xiao Manxue go first.
Lin Wanyan was a little strange to see them come out so soon. I haven't seen each other for so long, shouldn't I have a lot to say? Thinking that Yang Chengyue has always been very well-behaved, and he and Xiao Yuwen are still waiting outside, the two of them definitely don't dare to say anything.
Yang Chengyue quickly called a few of his subordinates and instructed them to set up another tent and prepare some bedding to take people to rest, and then go back to their tent with Xiao Yuwen. This other tent was naturally prepared for Xiao Manxue, he didn't know that Lin Wanyan and Xiao Manxue would come, so he only prepared Xiao Yuwen and Lingwei's tent.
"I'm sorry for the trouble for the third master!" Yang Chengyue poured a glass of water and put it in front of Xiao Yuwen, and said embarrassedly.
"I didn't plan to let them come, but Wanwan also helped to speak. I think this girl hasn't seen you for so long, so it's nice to come and see her. Xiao Yuwen took a sip of water and said lightly.
Yang Chengyue slowly sat down in the chair and did not speak. It turns out that Xiao Manxue can often be seen, but I also feel that the two of them have not yet reached the point where they will miss each other, and this difference shows how much weight that person has in his heart.
In the past, I felt that the two were not facing each other, I was not the son-in-law of the family, and my official position was just that of the chief of the internal guard, and it was impossible for a princess to marry herself, so I deliberately kept my distance.
But now it's different, who doesn't know the weight of the forbidden army in the emperor's heart, it is the emperor's personal guard, and it is used to protect his life at a critical time, and the person who is not the emperor's most trusted person cannot hold an important position in it. No matter from which point of view, as long as the timing is right, the emperor will agree to marry Xiao Manxue to himself.
"You said that Commander Yuan's injury this time was designed by someone to murder him?" Xiao Yuwen asked with a calm face.
"It's true, it's just that the people behind the scenes are too cunning and there is no hard evidence. Yang Chengyue said in a low voice.
There are ten more days to be the annual winter hunt of the royal family, and every year the emperor will take the prince and the generals to hunt for three days in Huangyu Mountain. During this period, the security will be forbidden to the army, Yuan Shaote, as the commander of the forbidden army, is not an irresponsible person, and he has to personally inspect every hunting ground in Huangyu Mountain to rest assured.
The Huangyu Mountain is on high ground, and now there is already a thick layer of snow halfway up the mountain. It is not uncommon for avalanches to hurt people, but it just so happened that Yuan Shaote was the most seriously injured among the group.
Afterwards, Yang Chengyue also deliberately went to the place where the accident occurred to check carefully, judging by the thickness of the soil and snow, it could not be a sudden collapse, someone must have done it in advance, and the timing was very accurate.
"I'm afraid this matter is not only aimed at you, this year's hunting, my father also specially asked me to go with me. Xiao Yuwen's face darkened a little more.
When Yang Chengyue heard this, his face turned pale, the intentions of these people were obvious, and they clearly wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
Yuan Shaote was injured, and the rest of the matter will definitely fall on Yang Chengyue, the deputy commander of the forbidden army. If there is any mistake during the hunt, it will definitely be counted on his head.
In previous years, the emperor knew that Xiao Yu was weak in style, and he never let him participate in this kind of activity. This year, he will be specially asked to participate, which is also for other purposes, which is equivalent to giving him a chance to see which of these generals can be used by him, and he can also take the opportunity to win over.
It is best to take the opportunity of hunting to take Xiao Yuwen's life, if he can't, then he will be injured, and this crime is enough for Yang Chengyue to be dismissed for being unfavorable.
"Let's rest early, tomorrow I will go to see Commander Yuan, if I want to play a good show, it is indispensable to ask him to cooperate. At the moment, the supernatural guards are idle, and the Yueziwei is also worried that they have nothing to do, you can't believe the people in the forbidden army, I will send you some people to come and summon them. Xiao Yuwen got up as he spoke, put on his hat and walked out.
"Third Master..."Yang Chengyue is a strong man again, and he can't resist the feeling in his heart at this moment. Just saying that Xiao Yuwen personally ran such a trip, he was grateful, not to mention that he had to dial someone to him.
"You and I have been brothers for many years, and now Wanwan still calls you a sixth brother, so there is no need to say more. If you look at what the vine does to you, you should know that you have to carry it off. Xiao Yuwen said lightly. How could he not know Yang Chengyue's current situation and pressure?
Yang Chengyue nodded and didn't say anything more. first took Xiao Yuwen and the supernatural guards to Xiao Manxue's tent to pick up Lin Wanyan, and then took them and the accompanying supernatural guards to the specially prepared tent to rest, and finally turned back to gossip with Xiao Manxue.
During the day, the big tent is full of people, even if Lin Wanyan and Xiao Manxue are dressed as Yueziwei, they are still easy to be recognized, after all, their looks are too delicate, and their bodies look too thin.
Therefore, Yang Chengyue didn't care about the routine exercises to be held early tomorrow morning, and kept gossiping with her in Xiao Manxue's tent for more than an hour before returning to his tent to lie down and sleep for an hour.
Woken up early in the morning by the sound of horns, horses' hooves, and loud voices among men outside the tent, Lin Wanyan's brows furrowed tightly, this is a serious lack of sleep, how can he be in a good mood?
Xiao Yuwen also woke up, he looked at the irritable person in his arms with a smile, and said that he would not let her come, and he would have to come with him to suffer. The forbidden army's tent is okay, it has been stationed here for a long time, the armaments and materials are sufficient, and you can ask for a few more bedding if you are afraid of the cold at night.
On weekdays, the supernatural guard travels, in order to pursue speed, he can't bring so many things, and he often can't sleep from the cold. So sometimes I don't even have a tent, and I sit around the campfire with my eyes closed until dawn. When encountering an unknown situation, he didn't even dare to stop and rest, so he could only rush day and night.
