Chapter 24: The Hunt
Chu Qing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his physical fitness is indeed not weak, and he is like an ordinary person within half a month of being seriously injured.
"Si Li, my father has allowed me to go hunting with you!" Xiao Ling came over excitedly, with a smile on his face.
Ye Sili nodded with a smile, I don't know which master actually proposed to hunt this season, it's really ...... A gust of wind blew, blowing Ye Sili couldn't open his eyes, his brain was really frozen into ice.
"Si Li, have you packed your things? Xiaoling, you're here too. Mu Jiufeng came over with his precious bow and arrow.
Ye Sili was about to refuse, but Gu Liwu walked out from behind him and said, "This hunt is a reward from the Holy Lord for agreeing to the second prince, and the second prince specially sent someone to invite, so it's hard to refuse." ”
"I know you're afraid of the cold, so I've got warm clothes for you." Gu Liwu stretched out his hand to take the light blue cloak handed over by Jian Xia and carefully draped it on Ye Sili.
Ye Sili had no choice but to go together.
She has never liked blood, and she is really afraid of the cold, so she is even more reluctant to participate in this hunt. She has always been unaccustomed to the second prince Xiao Feng, but she sent troops to arrest the bandits, but instead made the people within a radius of 100 miles uncomfortable, if it wasn't for the previous Jiufeng return to Beijing, she really couldn't see the people suffering, and by the way, she helped him pay the thieves along the road, how could he quell the chaos so easily, and he was embarrassed to ask for credit?
The point is, this pig's brain doesn't know what to think, and he has to go hunting in the winter.
Perhaps it was the reason why the prince of Liang also participated in the hunt, although the weather was average this time, but the battle did not fall.
Ye Sili looked at Gu Liwu and Mu Jiufeng ready to go, gave the order, and rode away, unconsciously curling the corners of his mouth.
"The way Ah Yuce Ma holds a bow is really beautiful."
"What are you muttering alone?" Xiao Ling squeezed Ye Sili next to him, Ye Sili came back to his senses, thinking of Fang Cai's own distraction, his face quickly climbed into a blush.
"Si Li, are you not feeling well? Why are your cheeks so red? Xiao Ling looked at Ye Sili's appearance, and thought that Gu Liwu had specially explained, and immediately said anxiously: "Liwu said that you are prone to typhoid fever in winter, and specially told me to take care of you, look at your appearance, it can't be a fever, right?" ”
Xiao Ling immediately wanted to call the imperial doctor, but Ye Sili reacted and hurriedly stopped it.
"It's a little boring today, I'll go out for a walk."
"Then I'll be with you."
"Hmm."
The hunting ground was very large, and Ye Sili and Xiao Ling didn't dare to walk around, so they had to walk outside the hunting area.
"Liang Yi?" Ye Sili stopped and looked at the stream in front of him.
Xiao Ling looked down and saw a woman kneeling in front of Liang Yi with her hands and feet tied, "I didn't expect Liang Yi to be dutiful, and he didn't forget his job when he came out to hunt." ”
Ye Sili nodded approvingly, Liang Yi was notoriously ruthless, and the poor woman didn't know what she had done to let Liang Yi interrogate herself, "Let's leave first." ”
Ye Sili and Xiao Ling were about to turn around and leave, but they heard Liang Yi scold: "Who! Before the two of them could react, they saw the long sword that had been approaching the woman's neck quickly stabbing at the two of them.
At the last moment, a long sword came out of the air, blocked Liang Yi's sword, and hurriedly turned to look at the person behind him.
"Are the princesses and princesses hurt?"
Xiao Ling and Ye Sili breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Ling said fearfully: "Yun'an, fortunately, you appeared in time." ”
After Liang Yi saw the two of them clearly, he was also shocked, and hurriedly came, and before he could speak, Yun An shouted coldly: "Lord Liang is so bold, dare to draw his sword against the fifth princess and the county lord of Le'an!" ”
Xiao Ling and Ye Sili stood behind Yun An, looking at each other, they had always known that Yun An had a cold temperament and didn't like to talk much, but they didn't expect it to be so scary to be angry.
Liang Yi also knew that he had almost made a big mistake, and was willing to accept the punishment: "I almost hurt the fifth princess and the lord of Le'an, and I ask the fifth princess and the lord of Le'an to punish him!" ”
"Its ...... Actually, it's not that serious. Ye Sili was about to stop there, but when he heard the woman by the river struggling, he turned his head to look, and the woman happened to look at them as well.
"Kou Niang?" Ye Sili was shocked.
Xiao Ling also saw it, and immediately asked, "She's a woman, what are you doing to arrest her?" ”
Liang Yi was a little surprised to see that the two of them knew Kou Niang, and then replied: "This person is Zhang Song's wife, and if he wants to commit murder here, why can't I catch him?" ”
"What is Lord Liang going to do with her?" Ye Sili probably guessed a few points, Zhang Song was beheaded, and Kou Niang Xu came to avenge him, but when she met Liang Yi, she was afraid that there would be some bitter fruits to eat.
"Nature is the same as the day - summarily executed."
"She's just a woman, so why is that?" Xiao Ling tried to save Kou Niang.
"Behind her, she is no ordinary woman. Besides, I have tried everything that should be tried, and this is just an ordinary assassination, and it is indeed correct on the spot as a rule. "Liang Yi's iron-faced and selfless reputation is really not touted, Rao is Xiao Ling and Ye Sili want to save Kou Niang again, but according to the law, it should be so.
"Lord Liang, can I say a few words to Kou Niang?" Ye Sili asked.
"Naturally."
The four of them walked towards the stream, Ye Sili stepped forward and squatted in front of Kou Niang, when they met for the first time, Kou Niang was dressed as a peasant woman, but she behaved decently, quite a demeanor, goodbye this time...... Ye Sili took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of Kou Niang's mouth, helped her tidy up her somewhat messy hair, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Kou Niang, why is this so?"
Kou Niang looked at Ye Sili with a gentle gaze, the originally clean and neat clothes on her body were also tattered and bloodstained at this time, and the corners of her mouth raised her usual smile, this is still the Kou Niang that Ye Sili knows.
"When I was lonely, only my husband was willing to hold my hand and build a home for me, and I identified him from that moment."
Ye Sili didn't understand the feelings in Kou Niang's eyes, she only knew that Kou Niang was also a hard-working person.
"He's been with me for so long, and now he doesn't want to leave me alone." Speaking of this, Kou Niang actually smiled.
Ye Sili looked at Kou Niang's tearful eyes with a smile and couldn't help but feel sad.
"Miss Ye, thank you for so many years."
"What?" Ye Sili didn't understand, and was about to ask again, but heard Du Chun running over and saying that Gu Liwu and Mu Jiufeng were looking for them everywhere.
Liang Yi also stepped forward and reminded: "County Lord, the words are almost over, it's not early, let's go back quickly." ”
Ye Sili stepped forward and hugged Kou Niang, Kou Niang's body had gradually become cold due to excessive blood loss, Ye Sili tried hard to warm Kou Niang, but in vain.
"I have entrusted Hazy to the care of the village teacher, but he is naughty by nature, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble everywhere, so I ask Miss Ye to help take care of one or two." Kou Niang whispered.
Ye Sili held back her tears, and whispered back in a trembling voice: "Kou Niang, don't worry." ”
