Chapter 28: Autumn Hunting Siege
The two people's eyes collided in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified. Chen Juanjuan's murderous aura was released, making the people around her breathless.
Many people were worried about their captain, but Fengling was not worried that the two would fight, and Chen Juanjuan was not so impulsive.
Qi Xinlin said nothing and left the situation to Chen Juanjuan. This was his respect for her.
After a few seconds of confrontation, Chen Juanjuan suddenly laughed and said: "Those who can wear the armor of Fengyang soldiers are naturally different, because when we put on this armor, our past identities are erased, and from now on we are just guardians of the people of Fengyang.
God, if any barbarian invades, we will kill them all without leaving a trace, don’t you think so, eldest princess?”
Manzi, as we all know, is the name Fengyang people call Dongxu people.
"Ha~" The eldest princess rolled her eyes when she heard this, disdainful of her aggressiveness. In Fengling's opinion, this expression was quite funny, and she raised her lips silently.
"Your Majesty is here!"
A high-pitched male voice penetrated the clouds.
What followed was a huge and luxurious chariot, which was exclusively for the nobles in the palace. The patterns and carvings on it were all for the emperor, and they were lifelike. Even the horses pulling the chariot were four BMWs.
Both sides were escorted by the Royal Guards on horseback, and the crisp clatter of horse hooves was irregular but very impressive.
As soon as the Emperor's car came out, the recruits in the elite battalion all squinted to take a peek. However, the closed windows and door curtains blocked their curiosity, and they couldn't help but feel regretful.
Fengling instantly lost her previous smile and stared at the approaching carriage with thousands of people in the distance, her eyes red with a storm brewing.
In the past, I had always thought about how I would feel when I saw him one day. I wanted to kill him, or pretend to be a stranger without any emotion.
But now that he was really close to her, her whole heart was surging, with all kinds of emotions mixed together, a mixture of emotions.
Want to kill him?
She still wants to .
But more importantly, I want to seek the truth.
It seems that there is still a little bit of luck in being tolerant of him.
"Long live your Majesty!"
Fengling followed the others and crawled at the man's feet.
"Plain body."
A very clean man's voice came from inside the car. It was clear and cold, and the listener's first impression was that this person was distant and not easy to get close to.
But to these ministers, this is the attitude of a superior.
Everyone who was kneeling slowly stood up and stood back to their positions.
"Lanyue, you are finally here. Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time. Why can't you come out from sitting inside? Let Your Highness see if you have become beautiful again?" The eldest princess' tone was familiar and conversational, but there was a hint of offense in her words.
As expected, the male officials next to the emperor immediately showed their power.
"Insolent! How can you address His Majesty by his first name!"
"What's wrong with the name? Isn't the name just for calling people? I am happy with it." The eldest princess did not feel that she had done anything wrong at all, and was not afraid of intimidation. She retorted directly, looking like she was not very smart.
The male officer was angry and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the male emperor.
"Wu Qi, step back."
As soon as the male emperor spoke, the male officer restrained himself, obeyed his words and stepped back, treating him with great respect.
"Knock, knock," two sounds of the carriage knocking from inside, the male officer knowingly stepped forward and opened the bead curtain, revealing the scene inside, but Fengling couldn't see it from his angle.
Chen Juanjuan turned her head and glanced at her, and was relieved when she saw that she was still calm.
The eldest princess looked at the exposed male emperor and was fascinated by the wind, and praised: "She has indeed become more beautiful. No wonder she is hiding it from your highness."
"Really? Your Highness, let's

It's a shame that I've been waiting for so long, so I'll be with you, Your Highness. It's just that it's already late, and Yandang Mountain is more than five kilometers away from here. If you don't set off, I'm afraid you'll be delayed." He called the male officer and said, "Go and prepare for Your Highness.
carriage."
The eldest princess stopped her and said, "Hey, there's no need. Your Highness can just sit with Beauty Lanyue."
As she spoke, she turned over and dismounted without looking at other people's faces, and rushed towards the emperor in a few steps, trying to climb up, but was stopped by the Imperial Guards.
"What are you doing? What are you doing to stop my Highness? Your Highness is your future queen. Be careful that I put on your shoes. Lan Yue, Lan Yue, tell me about him!"
Everyone:...Is this person mentally retarded?
Envoy Dongxu, who was walking behind him, silently covered his face. He was really embarrassed...
The male emperor ignored her and swung the curtain down with a snap, blocking his figure.
The male officer straightened his neck and shouted: "Let's set off!"
The team marched out of the city in a mighty manner, with the elite battalion walking behind as cavalry. The imperial guards and the emperor had to stay close to the front for personal protection. There were also a group of servants, chamberlains, and officials of all sizes to serve them conveniently.
But the strange thing is that generally the accompanying officials are high-ranking ministers, but Qi Xinai is not in this line.
besides……
What does the "future queen" that Princess Dongxu said just now mean?
On the way, she kept thinking about these two issues. She felt that this matter might be the key and might involve some people's plans behind it. For example, why did Lanyue want to negotiate at this time, or choose to go with Qiu Lie.
Heading southwest until the sun was about to set, the group finally arrived at the royal hunting ground in Yandang Mountain.
After the camp was set up, people from the elite battalion took turns patrolling the perimeter. Tang Shi changed shifts with a man who was assigned to Fengling. He was originally on duty in the first half of the night, but was transferred to the second half of the night, threatening to lay down his hair to accompany his sisters.
The moonlight is thick, and the moonlight in the mountains is particularly bright. Even without lighting a torch, you can still walk by the moonlight at night.
After Tang Shi's scolding, the two finally put out the torches and squatted on a large rock with a good view to enjoy the scenery.
"Ah - this is the life I want, with the sky as my bed and the earth as my bed, traveling all over the world, crossing rivers and lakes." Tang Shi sighed with his hands crossed behind his head and looking at the sky.
After hearing this, Fengling corrected her thoughts seriously: "Then do you know that beggars are the people you said live such a life?"
Tang Shi gasped: "No... I'm thinking of the knights of the world."
Jianghu knights, Fengling couldn't help but chuckle, looked into the distance and said: "Even Jianghu knights are not that easy. They are also human beings. They have to eat, drink, wear clothing and housing, and they also have to live. If there is not enough financial support, no matter where you go,
Nowhere can you find freedom."
Tang Shi disagreed and said easily: "That's no problem. Although my family is not a wealthy family, we still have enough to eat, drink and have sex."
Fengling raised her eyebrows and looked at her, asking: "How can you achieve freedom if you can't leave home? If your mother doesn't support you and cuts off your money, what will you do and become a beggar?"
Tang Shi was dumbfounded by what she said. It was really like this. She had never thought about this. How could she have imagined that her mother would not give her living expenses.
Fengling sighed softly, patted her shoulder and said, "You haven't experienced many things yet. I don't know that you are the happiest now. You have no worries in life, your family is with you, and you can pursue your ideals."
Tang Shi suddenly thought that Fengling was a wandering child, without a father or a mother, and had even been a beggar for many years. She suddenly felt uncomfortable. She sat up and looked around. The moonlight shone on Fengling's face, and her majestic facial features looked brighter under the bright white light.
Much softer, the long eyelashes droop, seeming a little sad.
She thought Fengling was sad because of her experience as a beggar, but she didn't know that Fengling was sad because of her father's departure.

.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." Tang Shi showed an epiphany and seemed to understand the secret, and said: "I will never talk about running around in the world again. At least, I will save tens of millions of taels of silver before thinking about it.
When the time comes, how can we both be together?"
Tens of millions of taels of silver, and the annual salary of a first-class official is only a few hundred taels. This guy really dares to say that. Just when Fei Ling was about to complain about her, she suddenly noticed an unusual movement and pulled Tang Shi, who had not reacted, to hide on the stone.
Looking behind.
Tang Shi was confused and wanted to ask what happened, but Fengling covered her mouth and signaled to be silent. She followed Fengling's line of sight and looked in that direction, and after waiting for a while, she realized that there was a black figure heading this way.
move.
She was startled, thinking it was a wild animal, but considering its size, it was a large beast, so something was wrong.
At this time, as the black shadow gradually approached, the thing walked out of the shadow of the woods, and its appearance was exposed to the faint moonlight. The two people saw it clearly at once, and turned around to look at each other in tacit understanding, both of them surprised.
Because this was not a beast, but a human being, consisting of four or five people gathered together, so from their perspective they thought it was a large beast. However, what was even more surprising was that those people were wearing Fengyang Guards uniforms, and they were also wearing uniforms.
knife.
But here comes the problem. The Imperial Guards are clearly protecting His Majesty and the ministers in the inner perimeter. Why did they come in from outside the hunting ground at this time? And they are so cautious and sneaky. There is obviously something wrong.
Fengling grabbed Tang Shi's hand and wrote the word "fake" on her palm. Tang Shi nodded to her, indicating that she understood.
It was precisely because the two people put out the torches that they disobeyed the rules that the fake guards did not notice anyone here and quietly passed in front of them. When they were about twenty meters away, Fengling waved and the two men followed lightly.
Following the fake guards, they took a shortcut all the way into the depths of the hunting ground. However, they did not go to the camping area. Instead, they found an intersection on the road that they must pass through for hunting tomorrow.
After a lot of trouble, it was already dawn. After seeing that the fake Imperial Guards did not move, Fengling asked Tang Shi to go back and cover for herself first, and then keep an eye on the other party's every move, because she suspected that there were still their people elsewhere, so they could not
To arouse the enemy, she didn't let Tang Shi tell others, and also wanted to see what the other party's purpose was.
This stay lasted another half day. Fengling's stamina was very good and she was never discovered. However, it took too long and her legs became numb. She had to change her posture very carefully in the middle to get through this long time.
It was not until almost noon that a person came running in a panic from another path. It was Princess Dongxu. She looked a little embarrassed, with an arrow stuck in her limping calf.
At this moment, the fake imperial guards who had been lurking for a long time moved and rushed forward to surround and kill the eldest princess.
Fengling in the dark was suspicious. The other party's purpose was to kill the eldest princess. Why? She immediately thought that he wanted to provoke a conflict between the two countries. What if something happened to the eldest princess here, and the person who took action was still wearing the clothes of the Imperial Guard?
, it is obvious that this blame will be placed on the head of the male emperor.
Who is it?
Dongxu people direct and act themselves?
Fengling observed the real exchange of swords and guns over there, and was convinced that it was not a trick of the eldest princess.
