After taking the essence of the deer body, he kicked the deer body, scolded a good beast, turned his head and said: "Pei Er, I heard that the emperor once said that the eldest husband is alive, and there are three happy things."

"The world is peaceful, the home gives people enough, and there is happiness; The grass is shallow and the beast is fat, hunting with etiquette, the bow is not false, the arrow is not in vain, and the two are happy; Liuhe Datong, Wanfang Xianqing, Zhang Lego Banquet, up and down joy, three music also! ”

"I don't know what the benefits of peace in the world and Xianqing in all directions, I just hate that there is no battle to fight, and my bones are sore! However, today we hunted down this big deer with our feet, and it was indeed a great joy. Do you say yes and no? ”

The emperor who once said this, his martial arts are all extraordinary.

"If you keep fighting, you'll really be happy?"

Pei Xiaoyuan asked rhetorically, got up from under the tree where he was resting, looked up at the little moonlight leaking above the dense forest, touched the whistle, and blew a sharp and loud whistle.

"Even if you die, you can feed other insects and beasts, and you will not die in vain. No wonder! If you want to blame, blame yourself for not being able to outrun us. ”

Cheng Ping muttered again, then laughed, and Pei Xiaoyuan went to the forest with the harvest, and halfway met the entourage who heard the sound and led the horse to find it, and each got on the horse, and the group took advantage of the moonlight shining overhead, returned from the forest, and returned to the vicinity of the palace.

The two of them hunted for a long time, covered in mud and sweat, Pei Xiaoyuan was about to go to a nearby place with water to clean it first, Cheng Ping smiled and said: "Don't worry, go to me!"

He led Pei Xiaoyuan to the place where he lived, and when he went out, it was a hot spring room.

There are dozens of large and small hot springs in Cangshan. This spring room is not big, but the spring flow is not small, surging day and night, steaming.

Although the weather is not cold winter, it is also interesting to soak in the hot spring. What's more, the weather is getting cooler now, and it is even worse at night, at this moment, the mountain wind blows, and the whole body has a feeling of coolness, and it is advisable to soak in the hot springs to relieve fatigue.

Pei Xiaoyuan has been in the army in the border since he was a teenager, and his food and sleep are almost the same as ordinary soldiers. Three years ago, he fought in Xifan, but at first the war was unfavorable, and then it dragged on until the bitter cold and severe winter. At the coldest time, water was splashed outside the tent into ice, and it was difficult to transport materials, and freezing was commonplace, and it was inevitable that some old injuries from wet and cold would fall on the body. At this moment, when I go down to the hot spring, I feel a warm current, slowly seeping into the skin around the body, and the joints are stretched, and people feel quite comfortable.

"They all think that this is far away, the palace is old, and they want to live close to Qingrong Palace, but they don't know how good it is to soak in hot springs in summer. It just so happened that I picked up a bargain and didn't have to rob anyone. ”

"Although I am warlike, but in a cold land like Xifan, I really don't want to set foot half a step in this life! Sometimes when I think of those people who had no time to prepare for the snowfall overnight, who froze alive into icicles by the lake, and broke into two pieces at the waist with a push, I feel that the nightmare has not gone away, and I can't breathe out. ”

Cheng Ping's two-way eyes were not jealous, and at this moment, there were also a little palpitations.

"Thankfully, though, it's all gone. Recently, there is nothing to do, I come here every day to soak for a while, come out, no worries, lie down and close my eyes and can fall asleep. ”

Cheng Ping comfortably leaned against the eaves of the pool, sighed with satisfaction, and then, looking around, shook his head: "However, I heard that in the best hot spring palace here, the white jade carved lotus, and the aragonite paving floor, are so big that you can sail in it, which is beyond you and I can imagine." ”

He let out a long sigh again, this time full of regret.

"It's a pity, such a good place is not something you and I can enter at will. If I get the chance to play it one day, I will die without regrets! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Pei Xiaoyuan. Through a thick white mist, seeing that he should not close his eyes, he changed the subject.

"Didn't the princess hold a feast during the day? I heard that after the banquet, I also prepared flower dishes, what crispy fried hibiscus, honey-stained hibiscus lotus leaf drink, in order to relieve the greasy. We are not lucky enough to go to the hot spring palace made of jade, and we can't eat the princess's flowers, but the burnt feast can be imitated. ”

"The princess invited the eunuch feast, and I will invite you to eat the deer feast tonight! Soaking in the hot springs while eating is also a beautiful thing! ”

He was interested, and immediately summoned his servants and gave orders. After a while, the servants brought the stove and the grill, and brought in a table with venison and deer liver, and placed them all by the pool.

Chengping sent people away, jumped on the pool, put on a piece of clothes in a mess, and burned venison and deer liver with his own hands, sprinkled with Xinyi, Sichuan pepper, peilan, cinnamon, and green onions, and the aroma was fragrant for a while. He poured out the wine mixed with deer blood again, beckoned Pei Xiaoyuan to eat together, and exclaimed happily.

The deer's blood was already strong, and it was fueled by wine, coupled with the hot fumigation in the spring room, and soon, both of them were sweating hot and drunk.

"Pei Er, shoot tomorrow, what are your plans?"

Pei Xiaoyuan, who was sitting behind the case, suddenly heard Cheng Ping let out a leisurely question.

He raised his eyes and saw that Chengping was already lying on the ground by the pool, holding a light of deer blood wine in his hand, and squinting at himself with a smile.

"Tomorrow's big shot, in the name of choosing a person for the saint, but everyone knows that this is the saint choosing a person for the princess. All the guards are now gambling, betting on who will become the Qilin in the end. ”

"I heard that there are the most people in Rantai these days. The person in his guard, the highest gambling money, has reached 100 gold. ”

Pei Xiaoyuan continued to be silent.

Cheng Ping poured the residual wine in his hand into the hot spring pool, watched the scarlet liquid roll out of various shapes with the flowing hot spring, gradually faded and expanded, and finally disappeared completely, the person then turned over and sat up, walked bare feet quickly in front of Pei Xiaoyuan, leaned over suddenly, pressed down on him, looked at him with sparkling eyes and said: "I have self-knowledge, the princess is not someone I can marry." ”

"Pei Er, if you want to compete, I will naturally help you."

"But tomorrow, if you don't come, then I will think, even if it is unscrupulous, to suppress He Du and Yuwenzhi, so that Lantai wins!"

"Xibo is not a habitable place, and Hedu is even more rude. The wife room is none, but I heard that there are countless beautiful women around him, and she is even more lustful than me, how can he be worthy of a princess? As for Yu Wenzhi, it's just a milky child! In comparison, Lantai is the best choice. And, let's be honest......"

He paused, staring at his friend.

"With all due respect, sometimes I even feel that Lantai is more suitable for the princess than you and to be her lover!"

"So, it's up to you!"

"Tomorrow you come, and I will help you."

"If you don't come......"

"I'll help Lantai!"

In the end, Chengping said word by word.

Pei Xiaoyuan walked out of the hot spring room with vain steps, and wandered around the palace in the middle of the night. I don't know how far I walked out, and when I came to a lakeside, I was greeted by a night breeze with autumn cold. His pores were constricted by the wind, and his stomach was churning, and he almost vomited out the deer burn and deer blood wine. The sound alarmed several night guard guards under the Jin Wu Guard, who came to find that it was him and relaxed. Then, he found that he had not shown much of his face recently, and several people thought of the bet they had been forced to place on him, looked at each other, and hurriedly gathered around him to inquire about his physical condition.

Pei Xiaoyuan waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and after sending away the sad Jinwuwei, he slowly straightened up, looked around, and found that the place where he stopped at the moment was actually the lakeside where she feasted Mrs. Fuyu during the day.

Baoguang Tower is just ahead.

What surprised him even more was that at this point, he actually saw that she was still here?

A figure of a woman wrapped in a cloak on her shoulders was standing alone in a corner of the promenade by the lake at the moment, quietly facing the lake, looking as if she was waiting for someone.

Pei Xiaoyuan thought that he was drunk at first, looked at the dazzle, fixed his mind, and looked again, and found that it was indeed her.

His heart beat secretly.

I don't want her to find out that I'm nearby, and I'm about to turn around and leave—

Who was she waiting for at such a late hour?

He hesitated, and slowly, his pace slowed again.

Chapter 86

"Princess, the prince of Yuwen has arrived."

Yang Zaien stepped up the corridor and bowed softly.

Su Yu turned his face, glanced at the figure standing under the steps of the corridor, and ordered everyone to retreat.

Yang Zae-en responded by calling away the people standing nearby and stopping in the distance.

Yu Wenzhi leaned back slightly, with a little excitement of disbelief on his face, staring at Su Yu who took the initiative to walk towards him, until she stopped in front of him and took the initiative to smile at him, he woke up and hurriedly bowed.

Su Yu told him to get up.

"The moon is fine tonight. How about you come up and go with me? She asked.

"Good!"

Yu Wenzhi was almost flattered, and stepped up the corridor steps in a few steps. At the last moment, it almost jumped beside her.

Su Yu looked at him happily like a naughty child, and seemed to want to laugh, and his eyes unconsciously overflowed with a faint smile, but soon, the smile disappeared. She paused, then turned and walked slowly along the corridor.

The water corridor is built according to the lake, the red pillars are blue tiles, the eaves of the corridor are carved and painted, looking from afar, like a long dragon coiled on the lakeside. During the day, people are in the corridor, watching the lake and watching the cranes, which is an excellent place to cool off the heat.

At this moment, in the middle of the night, the field of vision is not as good as the daytime, and there is not much scenery to see, but the shadow of the mountains on the opposite bank is like Dai, and the moonlight is like silver water pouring down from the Tianhe, attracting a piece of scale light on the lake.

Not to mention, the person who is traveling with her at this moment is actually her!

Su Yu walked forward in the corridor, did not speak at first, looking at the back, if he had something on his mind. Yu Wenzhi didn't dare to speak, and only followed her quietly.

Walking all the way to the center of the corridor, others still have a sense of unreality like falling into a dream.

It's been two months. From the moment she suddenly appeared in front of him as a princess at the military parade the next day, he never had a chance to get close to her, let alone at this moment, there was no one else around him, only her and him, walking in this lakeside corridor where no one was in the middle of the night.

Although he also knew that it was impossible for her to ask him to come here to walk with her and admire the moon out of thin air, the secret joy still overflowed uncontrollably, until she slowly stopped in front of a pillar, turned around, and looked over again.

Yu Wenzhi hesitated and asked, "The princess passed me, but I have something to say?" ”

Su Yu nodded.

"There's something I want to discuss with you. About tomorrow's big shooter. ”

Yu Wenzhi was stunned: "Dare to ask the princess, what about the big salute?" ”

He suddenly felt a little nervous, and after asking, he looked at her without blinking.

"Shizi, tomorrow's big shooting, I want to ask you to quit." She uttered the words in a calm and clear tone.

Yu Wenzhi's figure suddenly seemed to turn into a stone statue, he stopped motionless in the corridor for a moment, secretly clenched his teeth, lowered his voice, and said stiffly: "Why? ”

"You know, son." After a moment of silence, Su Yu spoke again.

The moonlight shone obliquely through the corner above her head under the eaves of the cloud-carved porch, dimly reflecting her picturesque face in the night. Yu Wenzhi stared at this face intently, and slowly, a faint anger appeared on his face. At first he closed his lips and said nothing, but after a moment he suddenly said, "Forgive me for being stupid and not understanding what the princess is referring to." May I ask again, the princess's words, but orders? ”

"It's not." Su Yu responded.

Yu Wenzhi nodded: "Since it's not an order, I can't follow it." The big salute is coming, and if the princess has no other orders, I will take a leave of absence so that I can prepare for the salute tomorrow. ”

His voice sounded a little cold, and after speaking, he saluted to Su Yu, then turned around without hesitation and strode away.

Su Yu looked at his back.

"Shizi, I know that I shouldn't have said what I just said, but after thinking about it, I still called you, do you know why?"

"Because I regard you as someone I know well, my own person, and different from others, I have called you and spoken frankly to you."

Yu Wenzhi had already walked out for more than ten steps, and after her voice fell, gradually, she slowed down, and finally stopped completely, but she still didn't look back, just stood stiffly like that, with a stubborn back.

Suyu walked towards him.

"Shizi, we don't know each other anymore. You are far from being a pure gentleman. You are empty-eyed, angry, and do whatever you want, without paying attention to the rules. However, compared to many of the real traitors in the world, I believe in you more and more now, and I have a little bit of true nature. To be honest, I don't hate you, and I even have great expectations for you. ”

"Your identity is not bad, if there is no accident in the future, you will inherit the title of the king of the county and become a member of our dynasty's feudal territory, and a local uncle. Compared with many central hall officials who sit high in the court and stay away from local sufferings all day long, the well-being of thousands of people will be directly tied to you. I believe that in time, you will be able to live up to the glory contained in the 'Xiping' No. 1, and you will be able to bear the great responsibility entrusted by these two words. ”

She walked behind Yu Wenzhi and stopped.

"You have a heart for me, and I understand it, and I'm very grateful. But other than that, I can't promise you anything, I hope you will forgive me. ”

"Tomorrow, even if you win the big shooter, I won't be able to marry you. You don't need a so-called Kirin Empty Number. So, there's no need for you to get involved in it. ”

"Also, to tell you the truth, I have my ideas, or rather, my plans, about tomorrow's big shooting. I can't tell you the details, but if you can, I hope you can help me realize what I want. That's why I've invited you tonight. ”

As her words fell, the surroundings fell silent, and there was no sound in my ears except for the sound of the clear water coming from the stone base outside the corridor of the nearby lake.

"Princess, you're really smart and talkative."

After a long time, Yu Wenzhi turned around.

The corners of his eyes were red, and there was a vague, crooked smile on his face.
