5 Killing
Today's celebration was originally held for Zhou Ze. Xuan Ran Shouxu saw Zhou Ze speak for Ling Dongwu. And he can't in any way break the face of the new Lord Batu on such an occasion. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay." General Ling. You make it for me to taste. ”
Ling Dongwu listened to Xuan Ran Shouxu's words. A long sigh of relief. Knowing that the little fortune was saved. He winked at Zhou Ze. cast a grateful smile.
Ling Dongwu retreated, taking Jiao Hongliang and the others to prepare items. A guard sent by Zhou Ze had already come to meet them. Zhou Ze was on the grassland that night. I heard that Ling Dongwu wants to grill lamb skewers. When I got back, I had already ordered someone to prepare something. Call for it today. Just in handy.
Ling Dongwu commanded people to be busy. The people of the Northern Desert can roast a leg of mutton. Leg of lamb skewers are a touch of touch for them. Soon. The lamb skewers are grilled and fragrant. People are staring wide-eyed for the source of the scent.
Ling Dongwu placed the grilled lamb skewers in a tray lined with green vegetable leaves. It looks like it's full of color and flavor. Then he came to Xuan Ran Shouxu. Place the tray with both hands. A eunuch had already stepped forward to take it. Xuan Ran Shouxu picked up a bunch. The rest was distributed to Xiao Yingyue and the ministers below. The waiter carefully used a silver needle to try on Xuan Ran Shouxu's mutton skewers. I saw that the silver needle did not change color. He was relieved to eat it.
Xuan Ran Shouxu took two bites. Sure enough, it is spicy and tender. It's evocative. Involuntarily smiled and nodded. I saw him nod. Everyone who ate the lamb skewers immediately praised each other. Ling Dongwu smiled comfortably. Immediately, the commander brought the grilled lamb skewers again. See Xuan Ran Shouxu and everyone loves to eat. She boldly suggested: "If you want to, just eat the raw garlic." Drinking. Lamb skewers will be more flavorful. ”
Time. Inside and outside the banquet hall. Lamb kebabs are in short supply. Xuan Ran Shouxu looked at Ling Dongwu inscrutablely. This guy is really hard to deal with.
Xiao Haotian ate a few bites of mutton skewers. I think it's delicious, too. Then a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. He shook his head helplessly. Only this clever and eccentric little girl came up with this way of eating. He knew it. In a matter of life and death. Even if you don't come out on your own. She would never let herself die in vain.
In fact, Xiao Haotian not only heard the conversation between Xuan Ran Shouxuan and Ling Dongwu just now. I also heard the conversation between Xiao Yingyue and Xuan Ran Shouxu before. He also knew that his sister Yingyue's words were too impulsive for the emperor. He didn't even need to look up to feel the anger and murderous aura in the emperor's body. Xiao Haotian secretly made all the preparations. If Xuan Ran Shouxu dares to move Xiao Yingyue today. He wanted to make Xuan Ran Shouxu's blood splash on the spot at all costs.
Xuan Ran Shouxu is still smart. didn't blame Xiao Yingyue at all. It seems that he is still afraid of the Xiao family. Xiao Haotian sneered in his heart.
Xiao Haotian saw it. Xuan Ran Shouxu then pointed the finger at Ling Dongwu.
Since that night, he heard Ling Dongwu on the grassland and misunderstood that he had asked her to come to the Northern Desert as an envoy. Xiao Haotian ordered the people of the dark machine door to investigate. But the person from the dark machine door reported. They secretly rummaged through all the Emperor's recitals. I didn't see anyone playing to ask Ling Dongwu to come to the Northern Desert as an envoy. And the people who were arranged next to the emperor also replied. I didn't hear anyone admonishing the emperor to Ling Dongwu to come to the Northern Desert. Xiao Haotian couldn't figure it out for a while. Who named Ling Dongwu to come to the Northern Desert.
No matter how smart Xiao Haotian is. Where did he think that it would be his good sister Xiao Yingyue's idea. Let Ling Dongwu go to the northern desert. And Xiao Yingyue and the emperor whispered between the bed. How can his people hear?
The emperor heard Ling Dongwu's persecution Xiao Haotian clearly. He couldn't think of a good way to relieve Ling Dongwu for a while. But he knew. Ling Dongwu will not be in any danger. for he would not allow it. Crisis. Say a word in his capacity. You can still save Ling Dongwu.
watched Xuan Ran Shouxu use his power to bully others. Xiao Haotian thought secretly. It seems that I can't give up my rights if I want to. If you give up. It means that Xuan Ran Shouxu can dispose of their Xiao family casually. You can hurt your sister at will. Embarrassing the person he loves the most. He must seize the power. And to go to the very top of the power. In this way, he can protect his family and loved ones.
At this time, there was a group of young men and women in the square. With the sound of drums, the dance unique to the Northern Desert tribe was danced. Rough and bold. Many aristocrats immediately rose up and actually got up and joined in the song and dance.
Applause and laughter erupted. A faction of singing and dancing.
Zhou Ze didn't go to join in the fun with everyone. Instead, he was busy with kebabs with Ling Dongwu excitedly. "Go drink and talk with somebody else. Today you are the protagonist. Don't be busy with me here. Smoky. Ling Dongwu picked up Zhou Ze.
"Look at what the hell is going on the field right now. What else is the protagonist and not the protagonist. Didn't you say I was your buddy? I just want to stay with my buddies. "Zhou Ze can really set closely.
"Good. Then you're going to give me a hand. Ling Dongwu unceremoniously instructed Zhou Ze. Commanded. She's in front of the oven. While busy with kebabs. While teaching the technique to the guards on the side.
Ling Dongwu saw that all the guards had become skilled masters of kebabs. sat on the side with Zhou Ze. Eating lamb skewers. Drinking the rice wine that Zhou Ze specially prepared for her, which was not too strong. raised his eyebrows at Zhou Zeyi and said, "Zhou Ze." Thank you. Today I owe you another favor. ”
"You're so kind to me. Didn't you say we're buddies? ”
"Yes. We're buddies. No distinction between each other. Then I won't say thank you to you. ”
"Thanks for what. Don't say it. This lamb skewer is really delicious. Ling girl. Where did you learn to eat this way? How I've never heard of it. Zhou Ze asked while eating mutton skewers.
If someone else asks Ling Dongwu like that. Ling Dongwu may turn his head a few more times. But Zhou Ze asked her. Her eyes rolled. Said casually: "When I was in business a few years ago. I learned from the people of Xinjiang. "She's not lying at all. Mutton skewers are really the most delicious made by Xinjiang people. Xinjiang lamb skewers.
"Ahh Zhou Ze really didn't continue to ask. Bow your head and continue to eat lamb skewers.
Xiao Haotian watched Ling Dongwu and Zhou Ze together from a distance, talking and laughing. If it weren't for the fact that night I heard them call each other brothers, I would know that they were nothing. He must have blown up his lungs by now. He just looked at Ling Dongwu with a pulse. Bring some greed. I want to take her smile and smile into my heart.
The next day. The safari begins.
Ling Dongwu rode on his horse and set off with the team. On the loess road, only the guard of honor can be seen in the distance. The nobles of all the tribes came with Hudong. The ranks stretched for more than ten miles. Riding Battalion. Escort Barracks. The Imperial Forest Army is led by the newly appointed Lord Zhou Ze of the Eight Divisions.
The Chinese army marched forward for half a day. It has officially entered the steppes along the Mongolian River. In early spring in March. The tender yellow grass on the grassland has bravely emerged. The sunlight cut through the green mountains in the distance of the grassland like a sharp blade. The entire savannah is painted like an oil painting. Along the way, there are countless birds.
And so it did for two days. The paddock forest is approaching. Ling Dongwu knew it from Zhou Ze. It is a small natural safari ground. There is also a larger royal hunting ground in front of it.
Ling Dongwu looked at the group of people who were following Xuan Ran Shouxu. There are men and women. One of the most eye-catching. It's a bright red figure. It was Xiao Haotian's wife, Luo Yange. Although Xiao Haotian didn't ask her to come with him. But. Because her father was the patriarch of the Luo tribe. She followed her father spontaneously. These days. Ling Dongwu can often see her galloping on horseback.
The men of the Northern Desert grew up on horseback. There is a natural fanaticism for safaris. See the emperor under the escort of a small group of elite guards. Go deep into the forest. Everyone else immediately clamped their legs between the horse's belly. He rode his horse deep into the woods. Ling Dongwu saw others like this. She can't be stupid here. With Jiao Hongliang. And he rode into the woods. From time to time, there are birds and beasts in the bushes.
Although Ling Dongwu can go to the battlefield to kill people. but he does not want to hunt. Going to the battlefield to kill people is to save their lives. But let's kill some innocent critters. She couldn't bear it. Let's kill the bigger animals. She didn't dare.
In the end, it was Jiao Hongliang who shot a red deer. A roe deer took down the mountain to suit the occasion. Most of the generals of the Southern Zhao who came to negotiate peace this time were civilian officials. Naturally, they didn't shoot any prey. Follow this way. The fruitful Northern Desert soldiers. Naturally, what they shoot looks a little shabby. The generals of the Northern Desert all cast a look of disdain and disdain at Ling Dongwu and the others. Some even made sarcastic remarks. Who makes the skills inferior to others? Ling Dongwu didn't care.
Set up camp at night. The tents stretched for miles. The torch of Songming shone like the white sun. Even the bright moon in the sky was overshadowed by piles of bonfires. The Emperor ordered the people to take the prey they had acquired during the day. Slaughtered on the spot. Place on the fire for grilling. and gave it to the people and the soldiers.
Ceres, because he lost to Zhou Ze in the athletic stopper. I've been holding my breath in my heart. I saw Zhou Ze and Ling Dongwu walking around frequently. The relationship is very intimate. He didn't dare to provoke Zhou Ze directly. took the opportunity to find Ling Dongwu's bad luck. He teased with the strength of the wine, "Haha." The people of Nanzhao are all soft-footed shrimp. He can only sing songs. Like a. Why don't you come back from hunting some wild beasts? Eat what we hunted here. Shame is not ashamed. ”
Xuan Ran Shouxu because of a misunderstanding in his heart, Xiao Yingyue admired and loved Ling Dongwu. At this time, Ling Dongwu had already made a killing move. Seeing that the god of grains was so ashamed of Ling Dongwu. I felt that the evil anger that had risen in my heart because of jealousy had disappeared a little. Nor does he restrain the words of Ceres.
Ling Dongwu was angry in his heart. Who seldom sits with you barbarians? Eat what you've hunted. If you are willing to let us go back to Nanzhao. I don't want to sit here. Her face was blue and white. But he said in a calm tone: "We Nanzhao people are indeed not good at hunting. Not even better at dealing with savage animals. Dogs bite you. Can you still bite a dog. ”
