Chapter Twenty-Six: Who Fell Off a Cliff?
In the imperial study, Yan Zheng presented the clues he had collected and told Emperor Xiao Qidao his own plan, and His Majesty was very satisfied after reading it.
"If you have an idea, let it go, I will arrange for Yu Linwei and Zhiwei to go with you, and if there is anything to send them to do."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yan Zheng bowed his head, and when he got up, his eyes were a little hesitant, Xiao Qi noticed that something was wrong, and his eyes flashed slightly and asked with puzzlement: "Are you still in trouble?" ”
Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said after a little groaning: Dare to ask Your Majesty, what day is today? The minister saw that the Marquis of Wudu and the prince of the world went to the Stygian Mountain today, did they go hunting? ”
"Why, you want to go too?" Xiao Qi didn't expect him to ask like this, his lips raised, and a kind smile was pulled, "He, it's still early for you to leave, if you want to go, it's still too late, go ahead." ”
The emperor also summoned other ministers, and said a few words about who Pei Jing had invited, if Yan Zheng also wanted to go to him, he would send someone to send him over, Yan Zheng was busy refusing, "Your Majesty is busy with business, and the ministers dare not bother Your Majesty, and now Ningcheng and Jinzhou are still waiting for the ministers to solve it, and they dare not be greedy." ”
"You, it's always been like this, so there hasn't been anyone around you for so many years. It's up to you to do it yourself. Xiao Qi saw that he was so boring and serious, although he got up, he was helpless, and waved his hand to let him retreat.
Xiao Yuanying saw that his master was addicted to drama again, and he was stunned all the way, until he couldn't see Liu Qingfeng, he couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but praise: "The county lord is really smart." ”
"Hmph, Liu Qingfeng, an innocent son like Liu Qingfeng, is the best to deceive, as long as she says how pitiful Song Xing is and how he cries, he will feel flustered, and he will be restless, and he can still care about the truth and falsehood." Ruan Mingjiao patted him, looking like he was learning something, and then walked away.
Yuan Ying looked at her back, and followed with a sigh helplessly.
In the school field, there are already chamberlains who have brought horses to put on the saddles, and some young ladies and sons of the family are already ready to go, and they have changed into riding and shooting clothes, and they are all in good spirits.
When she came, those who saw it bowed down to her, and their expressions were as usual, as if the farce just now had not happened, and when Ruan Mingjiao was wondering, she saw that Xiao Feifei had also changed into a complicated costume, and she was dressed in a red riding costume as red as a flame, which was extremely good-looking, and she still didn't have a good face when she saw her.
Ruan Mingjiao couldn't care about her eyes, Xiao Yuran changed into a navy blue riding and shooting uniform, and the whole person was raised a lot, and her white face stepped forward with a standard smile, "Gillian." ”
Ruan Mingjiao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered in her mind who the person in front of her was, Xiao Yuran, the eldest son of the Jade King, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, although the two of them did not have close contacts, it stands to reason that she should call Xiao Yuran her brother, "Fourth brother." ”
Xiao Yuran has eaten a lot of Ruan Mingjiao's closed-door soup before, in the past, Ruan Mingjiao has never been obsessed with their brothers and sisters, and she naturally disdains Xiao Yuran's amorous son, Xiao Yuran's impression of Ruan Mingjiao is still stuck in Ruan Mingjiao's saying that he was a prodigal son and lost Uncle Wang's face, if it wasn't for Yan Zheng's advice the night before, he would never have put a hot face on his cold ass.
Originally, she was ready to be responded to by Ruan Mingjiao's disdainful eyes, she called him the fourth brother with such a decent and generous blessing, which made Xiao Yuran flattered, her face was shocked, her eyes flowed, and after a while, she actually sneered, "Gillian, you never called my fourth brother before, but Gillian has a good voice, and this fourth brother sounds better than others." ”
Nguyen Minh Jiao: ......
She was stunned, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart how many people the original owner had offended, how could they all remember the old sorrows, she raised the tail of her eyes slightly, and squeezed out a fairly good-looking smile, "I was ignorant in the past, and the fourth brother should not be as knowledgeable as Pingyang." ”
"Nature." Xiao Yuran is very affected by her fourth brother, the fourth brother with a beautiful voice and a sweet voice seems to be tickled in his heart by someone with a dog's tail, it sounds tight, he is not a person who holds grudges, and he is a beautiful woman's hatred.
"Gillian, Yuran." Ruan Mingjiao was stunned in place, embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Pei Jing didn't know when he had already walked over, dressed in an ink-colored robe, extremely capable, unusually chic, with a ponytail, as gentle as a spring breeze.
Xiao Yuran's smile froze, and then recovered.
"Gillian, you come with me." Pei Jing separated Ruan Mingjiao and Xiao Yuran, stood still in front of Ruan Mingjiao, stretched out his hand and invited.
"Hey, Brother Pei is eccentric, I've always been incompatible with riding and shooting, so you have to take me with you." Xiao Yuran's eyes flashed with a hint of unkindness, holding Pei Jing's arm, leaning on his shoulder very affectionately, Ruan Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, and her expression was complicated.
His sudden closeness made Pei Jing very unhappy, but it was not good to attack in front of Ruan Mingjiao, so he could only try to push Xiao Yuran away with a smile, but the latter was like a dog skin plaster that stuck to him and couldn't get down.
There were many discussions around her, Ruan Mingjiao didn't know whether to leave or stay, but fortunately, Yuan Ying saw her embarrassment and led the horse over early, "County Lord, my subordinates are with you." ”
Ruan Mingjiao was stunned for a moment, and saw that Yuan Ying was like a savior, and immediately pulled Yuan Ying away, "Fourth brother, Brother Pei Jing, let's go together, I'll be with Yuan Ying." ”
After saying that, the master and servant left quickly, refusing to stay any longer.
Seeing that the person was gone, Pei Jing hurriedly pushed Xiao Yuran, Xiao Yuran was easily pushed away as if he had had enough trouble, the chuckle on the corner of his mouth was still unabated, Pei Jing glanced at him, the anger in his eyes was not only but he couldn't take him, and he left angrily after a long confrontation.
Xiao Yuran snorted lightly, but his hands and arms seemed to have seen through Pei Jing, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't know what Yan Zheng deliberately asked him to look at Ruan Mingjiao, but now he understands that Pei Jing is wrong! His eyes swept over the surrounding terrain, but he didn't see anything abnormal, but the doubts and gloom in his heart were still there.
The ladies and ladies of the family formed their own teams, although there were guards, but the women only dared to be in the shallow forest in front of the school, not for hunting, but to pull their friends to talk about some common things.
Ruan Mingjiao was with Yuan Ying, and Yuan Ying didn't go deep with the horse, but only took the surroundings with other ladies.
"Hey, this little brother, let's go for a walk in the depths, it's all the girls outside, what are you doing here."
The master and servant were walking, and suddenly a young man in green clothes came up behind him and patted Yuan Ying on the shoulder, and warmly invited, Yuan Ying was stunned for a moment and didn't reply, but the man saw Ruan Mingjiao, and hurriedly retreated and saluted: "I don't know if it's the county lord, it's the villain who is abrupt." ”
Ruan Mingjiao didn't take it to heart, waved his hand to let him get up, and the man left to catch up with his companion, and the two said that there was a fire fox in the depths of the forest, and hunted it back to make a mink scarf, Ruan Mingjiao was not very interested, but Yuan Ying next to him listened with relish, and his eyes were shining.
"Go ahead, leave me alone!" Ruan Mingjiao suddenly stopped and said to Yuan Ying.
"No need!" Yuan Ying was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand blankly, "I don't feel at ease when the county lord is here." ”
"There are guards here, it's not far from the school grounds, it's going to be fine, if I'm bored for a while, I'll go back to find Jianan, let's go."
A young man of this age was originally interested in hunting, and besides, Yuan Ying had always been in the military camp This is the first time to come to the royal hunting ground, and the novelty is even more surprising, and Ruan Mingjiao can understand it.
She insisted, Yuan Ying was also itching in her heart, but she still glanced behind them with some uneasiness, not far from the camp tent, and there were guards patrolling around, so she dispelled her hesitation a little, "Then, the subordinates don't go far, it's nearby, if the county lord calls me a few times for something, I will definitely hear it." ”
"Okay." Ruan Mingjiao saw that he was young, but he nagged inexplicably, and asked him to give her the reins in his hand, and turned to catch up with the son who had greeted him before.
Ruan Mingjiao chuckled lightly, pulled the horse and walked around, there were few prey in the forest in front of her, and she didn't care how much she caught, just to come out to change her mood and join in the fun.
Not far away, Xiao Feifei was holding a bow and arrow, followed by a few maids, attendants, and horses and things. Xiao Feifei saw that she was alone, her eyes flashed with cold coldness, and beckoned her to hand her an arrow aimed at her.
"Princess, by all means, if you hurt the county lord and return to the palace, it is not good to explain to Your Majesty."
The maid on the side saw her so bold and reckless, panicked for a while, and hurriedly stopped in front of her and persuaded her bitterly.
"Afraid of what?" Xiao Feifei put away the arrow, his face was not worried, and he said calmly: "When my father asked, it was just that my skills were not as good as human corpses, and it was difficult for her to be a county lord who really dared to mess with my father, and besides, no one here saw it, who would know that it was shot by this princess." ”
"Princess, why do you do it yourself." Xiao Feifei's personal maid Chunzhu glanced at the maid holding the quiver, and then the maid retreated, and Chunzhu continued: "You forgot, you came today to help the Hou Ye, and when today passes, you still need to do it yourself, and Your Majesty will definitely not protect her if she loses her reputation, and she will still be your opponent at that time."
Xiao Feifei was originally displeased, but after listening to Chunzhu's reminder, he remembered the purpose of coming here today, and he was stunned by Song Xing's anger and almost caused a catastrophe. Now, after thinking about it, she calmed down, took the bow and threw it to the person behind her, "That's it, let's spare her life." ”
She said this quite arrogantly, as if she was giving alms, and took people away.
Ruan Mingjiao walked far away and did not receive the goods, but the pheasant hidden in the grass heard the movement, flapped its wings and hissed a few times and fled quickly, and there was no movement, she was bored and was thinking about whether to return the same way and go to find Song Xing.
Suddenly, I saw a white shadow running from the other end. She breathed hard, and when she took her bow and was about to draw it, she saw the white shadow stop in front of the stake beside her, crawling down and dying, breathing rapidly, and her white fluffy hair seemed to be stained with blood.
She tied her bow and arrow to her horse, and raised her foot towards the white object, which was a wounded rabbit, she raised her eyes and swept around, but did not see a human figure, so she squatted down to check the rabbit's injury, probably the arrow wound grazed the waist and abdomen, and there was blood under the abdomen, and a pair of red eyes flashed with horror and fear, but she couldn't get up when she kicked her feet.
"Okay, I won't hurt you, I'll take you back to heal." Ruan Mingjiao sighed, she is not a nosy person, but she has always had a good impression of velvet things, in modern times she has a cat named Obedient, I don't know if she eats well when she is not obedient, whether she misses her.
She thought for a moment, picking up the rabbit and planning to go back.
"Oh no, someone has fallen off a cliff!"
