Xie Xun looked up at the sky. Why didn't he want to take his place? Before his second brother went to the battlefield, whoever wanted to challenge him would have been either him or Fang Chuning.
Xie Jue said in a gentle tone, "Mother, I will return safely."
"Okay, mother will prepare wine and wait for you and Chu Ning to come back."
The Marquis of Zhenbei only had one sentence, "Just do your best!"
"Yes!" Xie Jue and Fang Chuning took the order and mounted their horses.
In front, Dugu Jing was ready to go. Twelve people rode on the same starting line. With the sound of a horn, the twelve war horses rushed towards Xiyan Mountain like arrows from the string. Xie Jue and Fang Chuning slowly fell a few steps and suddenly turned around.
Horse head, enter Xiyan Mountain from the northwest, avoid facing Dugujing, otherwise it will be a life-and-death battle once you enter Xiyan Mountain, there is no need.
Xie Xun couldn't help but pray, hoping that Xie Jue and Fang Chuning could quickly hunt the sika deer.
Dugu Jing turned around and saw Xie Jue and Fang Chuning leading people to avoid them. He sneered and said, "Don't worry about them, go into the mountain!"
"yes!"
Xie Zhang also looked at Xiyan Mountain worriedly. Xie Xun approached him and asked, "Brother, why are you taking Chen Lin with you?"
"He is a member of the Jinyi Guards. He was responsible for the defense of Xiyan Mountain and is familiar with the topography. Secondly..." Xie Zhang lowered his voice, "He is afraid of an ambush in Xiyan Mountain. He knows better than others where the Jinyiwei will set up an ambush."
Xie Xun admired Xie Jue's ability to have a photographic memory. He seemed to remember everyone's identity and background in his mind and could pull it out at any time. When deciding on the candidate, he chose Chen Lin immediately without thinking about it. During the banquet
In response to Dugu Jing's decision, he must have made arrangements in his mind for the candidate.
Hunting in the mountains is not allowed, but there are many activities in the camp. The princess took the lead in organizing polo and horseback shooting, and invited the children of the aristocratic families in the camp to play. It is also a hunting tradition that the camp holds polo and horseback shooting. Every year, the emperor will bring many hunting
Unmarried boys and girls from aristocratic families, polo and horseback riding are all designed to enhance communication.
Every year hunting leads to several marriages. Su Yuejiao asked Feng Yu to go with Fang Lingjun. After Su Yuejiao learned from Jiang Yang's past experience, she was extremely cautious about Feng Yu's marriage, hoping to choose a marriage that Feng Yu would like.
Fang Lingjun had a big heart, and Fang Chuning had always been blindly confident. Even though she had heard that Dugujing was powerful and brave, Fang Lingjun was not worried about Fang Chuning's safety and took Fengyu to play polo.
Xie Zhang raised his eyebrows, chuckled and said, "Zhixu, you can go and play too."
Xie Xun had no interest in polo or horseback shooting. He just wanted to wait for the outcome of the contest between Xie Jue and Dugu Jing. Zhenbei Hou said, "If you stay here, the sika deer will not come in front of your second brother. It's time to eat."
It's time to play. If you look so embarrassed, others will think that your second brother will definitely lose."
Xie Xun, "..."
In Xiyan Mountain, the mountain wind blows through the forest, refreshing your bones. Xiyan Mountain is not a suitable place for sika deer. Every year, a sika deer is released in Xiyan Mountain for hunting. Sika deer have very sensitive hearing and smell, are easily frightened, and like to hide in the mountains.
Yesterday, thousands of people went into the mountains and forests but could not find the sika deer. They must be hiding somewhere for fear of meeting the crowd.
After Xie Jue and Fang Chuning entered the forest, they tied their horses in the forest and walked into the mountains. Chen Lin cleared a safe path for them in front, and the shadow guards were scattered one by two, very vigilant.
After Chen Lin took them to a designated area deep in the mountains, Xie Jue and Fang Chuning hid in a leafy tree. One of the shadow guards was on the tree, and the two of them were hiding on the ground with Chen Lin. The six of them were uniformly wearing green shirts.
Hidden in the forest, it almost blends in with the mountain scenery.
Today in the forest, to Xie Jue and Fang Chuning, Dugu Jing is also a sika deer.
They will not run around in the forest, they will only stay in designated places, waiting for Dugu Jing to bring people to find them. Fang Chuning and Xie Jue are in the same tree. The century-old branches are lush and leafy, blocking the sky and the sun, and they are definitely hiding.
A good place. The field of view is very good. You can see clearly in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. Fang Chuning observed the woods vigilantly, and Xie Jue closed his eyes to rest.
"Listen to the wind, are you sleepy?" The whisper was hidden in the forest, like a lover's murmur. Even the shadow guards hiding on the ground could not hear it. Xie Jue was a little sleepy. Since the peace talks, the New Deal and the peace talks have exhausted his mind.
He was suspicious of the East Palace and tried every means to protect the Hou Mansion. He often stayed up late and slept less than two hours a day, making him even more tired than in Ningzhou.
"Um!"
Xie Jue leaned on a branch, holding his sword to rest his mind. His long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids. The sunlight filtered through the branches and cast a round spot on his cheek. Fang Chuning thought to himself, it is really otherworldly.
Banish immortals.
It is clear and cold, and does not move the ordinary mind.
Fang Chuning sat on the same branch as him, her gaze peeling off his coat like a sharp blade and passing over his face inch by inch. It seemed that only when Xie Jue couldn't see, he dared to look at him so unscrupulously.
Fang Chuning and Xie Jue spent more time together than their parents and sisters. Their relationship was so close that it surpassed anyone else. The time Xie Jue spent with him also exceeded that of his parents and brothers.
During the seven years in Ningzhou, he and Xie Jue almost slept in the same tent. Xie Jue was cold and indifferent, but he could always easily detect his emotions, so he also felt an invisible horizontal ditch gradually spreading.
This feeling was unprecedentedly strong when Xie Jue chose him and abandoned Xie Xun.
"Tingfeng, where did Qi Ba go?"
Xie Jue has eight shadow guards, all with names and origins. Three of the shadow guards are brothers. Xie Jue has a habit of sending them out, always calling them one, two, three. Later, it became a habit, and the shadow guards evolved into one, two.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight. For many years, no one knew better than Shadow Guards what time Xie Jue got up, what time he had his meal, and what time he rested.
Fang Chuning had not seen Qi Ba for a long time, and he had never been suspicious. After Xie Jue returned to Beijing, he often sent shadow guards to follow him until he went hunting in Xiyan Mountain.
Dugu Jing cares about his life, no matter how important it is, the shadow guard will definitely accompany him to the hunting ground.
But Fang Chuning has never seen Qiba.
Xie Jue seemed to be fast asleep, but Fang Chuning knew that he could hear him. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. It was like stepping on the edge of a cliff, floating in the air, and about to fall at any time. It was just like when Xie Jue went to the North alone.
When I was young, I had the same panic, fearing that he would never look back.
The long eyelashes were slightly lifted, and when Xie Jue looked at Fang Chuning, he had suppressed his overly presumptuous and focused light, and smiled slightly, just like when he had been getting along day and night for more than ten years.
"I have something important to do and asked them to leave the capital."
"What's the matter?" Fang Chuning suddenly started to get to the bottom of it, "Don't deal with me, just listen to the wind."
Xie Jue said calmly, "I am suspected of being ill, so I sent him to Guli and Gaoping."
Fang Chuning's heart skipped a beat. Was he suspicious? No, Ting Feng Cong was not suspicious. His suspicions always came true. Guli and Gaoping were the two major camps of the Kyoto Guards.
