Yulixiao's calmness aroused Yu Yan's curiosity.
Before that, he had taken her to the Moon Island, to the empty space behind the princess' mansion to practice his swordplay. Where was it this time?
"Get it." He brought a suit of the little soldier's clothes, blue in color, embroidered with inscriptions on the cuffs and collar. He tossed over another round of green embroidered cloth.
"Then turn around. You're not allowed to peek." She hugged her clothes and said somewhat bashfully.
Without saying anything further, he turned around and sat at the table while sipping from a teacup.
"You really can't look, or else I'll get angry." Yu Yan quickly glanced at him and turned her back.
Hearing her words, Yulixiao laughed silently and slowly turned to look at her. She really dared to believe that he wouldn't look at his. His clothes had all been stripped off, and his figure was exquisite. His slender waist and round buttocks were truly beautiful.
"Look!" She turned her head suddenly.
However, Yulixiao was a step ahead of her, pretending to drink his tea, he said slowly: "I want to see, I will walk in front of you to see, who looks at your back?"
Yu Yan did not know that he had been spying on her. She thought she had wrongly accused him. She turned around and wrapped a cloth around her chest before putting on her outer garment. She then combed his hair into a tall strand and wrapped it with a cloth, turning into a fake boy. However, because of the bangs, the birthmark on her forehead became more eye-catching.
"Do you have a mask?" After Yu Yan finished dressing up, she turned around, covered her forehead and asked.
He turned his head and his eyes lit up. He slowly walked in front of her, raised her chin with his long fingers, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "No need to mask. Very good."
"Really." She pointed to her birthmark and whispered, "Isn't that scary?"
"Of course a man must have some special marks in order to appear so mighty."
Yulixiao originally wanted to comfort his, but unexpectedly, when Yu Yan heard it, she felt that something was amiss. Men have to have this, but she was clearly a woman, could it be that she looked like a man?
She took out her handkerchief and tied it around her forehead before raising her eyes to look at him. "Is this alright?"
Yulixiao raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "You're a sitting moon?"
Yu Yan tore off her handkerchief and said dejectedly: "You also know that a woman like you, a sitting moon, wants to tie this up?"
"I also know that only when a woman is with a man can she have children." He walked to a cabinet nearby and rummaged through it for a while. Then, he took out a small metal box.
"The prince is knowledgeable, and he even knows about this!" Yu Yan sarcastically said a few words, then walked to his side and looked at his hands curiously.
This was a Silver Half-Face Mask. He picked it up and pushed it towards Yu Yan's face, perfectly covering half of it. On one side, Yan Ruyu was hiding in this shiny silver. Her eyes were thin and thin, her lips were thin, and she was slim. She had completely won over the most famous young master.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Yan's fingertip landed on the Silver Mask as she looked at him with a nervous expression.
His dark eyes swept her up and down, and he smiled.
Yu Yan was suddenly struck by something called happiness, she pursed her lips and laughed, then walked to the copper basin and started shining light on the left and right of the water surface.
"It's really beautiful? How could you have such a thing? Who are you planning to give it to? "
Yu Yan rarely said more than that, but she didn't realise that ever since he stood in front of so many people and received the whip for her, she was in a good mood. Like a rainbow that had just appeared in the bright and clean sky after the rain, it was so beautiful that it filled the sky with clouds and mist.
"I picked it up."
He slowly replied her and walked out.
Yu Yan was still waiting for him to say that he specifically gave it to her, but she didn't expect that it was actually picked it up … How could she pick it up? She also went to pick up eight of them...
When he followed her out, Fan Yi and the others were already waiting outside. Chen Yao and Han Mi were among them. Chen Yao was wearing a black tight suit with a wide belt, her long hair tied up in a high bun, and a white jade hairpin. She carried a short bow on her back and a quiver of arrows on her waist, revealing more than a dozen black feathered arrows. "Seamus was also dressed in black, and his lips were pursed into a straight line under his aquiline nose. His sinister eyes were fixed on Yu Yan.
Yu Yan intentionally looked at him and smiled lightly.
Ah Lang passed the black iron dagger to Yu Yan, raised his eyes and pierced towards Han Mi, and said softly. "Sai Mi, you don't have the ability to keep an eye on my wife."
"Princess, please forgive me." Sai Mi lowered his head, cupped his fists and bowed.
"A person's face is for others to see. Otherwise, why would a person have a face?" Yu Yan smiled and tied the knife to her belt.
"This is Princess's horse." Nie Shuangcheng brought a black handsome horse.
Yu Yan looked at her and laughed. Although it was not as impressive as Chen Yao's Ferghana Horse, but she liked it immediately when she saw it. It was tall and straight, with strong four limbs, and also pure white fur around the right eye.
Yulixiao did it on purpose, right? She turned to look at him. He was tying his cloak, talking to General Fan and the others, not looking in their direction.
"Is it a war horse? Will you leave me behind? " She laughed and pulled at the reins to climb up the horse.
A Lang was about to reach out to support her, but she had already neatly climbed up and kicked the horse's belly with her foot. She laughed crisply and said, "Very good …" Gone … "Ah …
This was a war horse that was best at listening to commands. She said she left … It immediately took her to leap high above the heads of the group in front of it before landing gracefully on the ground and speeding forward.
Yu Yan's soul was almost shattered by this leap. She only felt a sharp wind brush past her cheek, causing her skin and flesh to hurt severely. Her buttocks and thighs hurt the most, and her face was also dried and aching from the wind — — Look at the chivalrous ladies of the martial arts world, they have been riding all year round, and their skin is indeed not as tender and tender as the women they have raised for years. If they want to be a chivalrous girl, they have to pay the price!
Yu Yan was very nervous, she held onto the reins tightly and did not let go. The sounds of the horses behind him gradually became louder and louder, and one after another, handsome horses galloped over. Yulixiao's "Blue Arrow", Chen Yao's "Red Luan", Han Mi's "Big Rabbit", Old General Fan Yi's "Crouching"... They were all first-class horses.
"One person?" Yulixiao slowed his pace and smiled at her.
"Prince, if this horse throws me down, remember to save me." Yu Yan shot a glance at him, her eyes were fixated on the front, her shoulders were hunched down, and all her strength was used on her arms.
"Don't be afraid." Yulixiao swung his horsewhip lightly and patted the horse's back, saying loudly: "Happy, run well."
Yu Yan quickly turned her head and was surprised at the name she heard.
Treasure, joy … What Yulixiao had shown Yu Yan was the most relaxed side of him. She did not want others to see the other side, so she was not afraid of losing her dignity in front of Yu Yan.
Stepping on the stars and stepping on the moon, they soon arrived at the foot of the mountain where the moonlight could not reach.
Yu Yan imitated them and pulled back hard, raising her head to look in front of him. The lush and verdant trees formed a dense, opaque forest. The guards lit torches, lighting up the area in front of them.
"The old rule is that if you can hunt a red fox, it means that everything is fine. If you can hunt a grey fox, it means that your lifespan will be extended and you will be heavily rewarded." Nie Shuangcheng spurred his horse forward, raising two black and red flags, he waved them hard.
Heh, this old subject has not hunted for quite a while, and I came to join in the fun as well. Little kids, please let this old man benefit from King Xiao's good fortune.
Fan Yi laughed heartily, took the bow and arrow from his back, and dismounted, calling the guards to enter the mountain.
"Old General, you are an old fox, we are afraid that you will sell us to the mountain god in exchange for your good fortune!"
A few young generals also dismounted and joked. They cupped their fists towards Yulixiao and quickly ran into the mountains.
"Your Highness, we're leaving too."
Chen Yao walked up, nodded to Yulixiao, and they entered the mountain together. Two figures, one tall and one low, were quickly swallowed up by the night sky that was as thick as ink.
The branches that were swaying in the mountain wind made rustling sounds, bringing a strange tense atmosphere to the quiet forest.
"Which way should we go?" Yu Yan looked at the two small paths in front of him, and pulled out the dagger from her waist, holding it tightly in her hand.
"Put it away." Yulixiao took a step forward, held her hand, and sheathed his blade back into his scabbard, "Don't be scared to the point of waving your hand around, the fox did not manage to attack me, and just stabbed me a few times."
Yu Yan felt her chest tighten, she pulled out the blade again, and looked up at him: "It won't pierce you, you come with Nie Shuangcheng, I'll pierce him together with Ah Lang, his flesh is tight and strong, you guys don't need to worry about pierce."
Team... Right? Before Yulixiao could react, he had already started walking towards the mountain path on the right with large strides.
She was a woman who refused to admit defeat, and she enjoyed exciting new things as well. This was the first time in her life that she had been hunting in the middle of the night.
Ah Lang followed behind her, her steps steady and steady, from time to time she would use the long blade in her hands to hack away at the thorny leaves and leaves.
Yu Yan sweated profusely. She was hungry again, so she leaned against the tree and rested.
"Eat first, wangfei. When you catch a wild hare chicken later, your subordinate will roast it for you." Ah Lang took out an oily paper bun from his bosom. There were two buns inside.
"Is this what he meant when he said he wouldn't let me go hungry?" Yu Yan laughed involuntarily. She lifted his mask and put it on her head, then took the bun and bit down.
The forest was so dense that it could not be seen through. Ah Lang held a small torch in his hand.
"Could it be that the reason for my hunting is for me to hide here and eat buns?" she asked curiously.
Ah Lang coughed awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Princess, you think too much. Originally, it was forbidden to fish in the spring. "So today we have to catch the fox, and tomorrow we have to personally release it before the king gives the order to attack so as to boost our morale."
Yu Yan finished the steamed bun quickly and sighed softly, "The higher one's status is, the more one loves to mess around, huh … Since you want to release it, why must you catch it? "
Ah Lang's mouth opened and closed - Only Yu Yan and Nian An dared to speak like that, one was brave, the other one was not.
"Yi, look, here is the Seven-Knot Grass." Yu Yan suddenly stopped and pointed to a patch of grass by the side of the road.
"What's the use of this grass?" Ah Lang asked in a low voice.
"Yes, soaking your feet after frying it will help you sleep." Yu Yan squatted down and cut a big patch of Seven-knot Grass, then wrapped it with a handkerchief and stuffed it into her belt.
When Yulixiao fell asleep at night, he would always furrow his eyebrows. It was obvious that his dreams were unstable, and too much resentment and anger was accumulated in his heart.
Yu Yan had used to make her father use the Seven-knot Grass to soak her legs, and the effect was pretty good.
"I didn't expect the Empress to understand herbal medicine as well. Does the Empress sleep poorly?" Ah Lang also helped her to cut some of them. He lifted up her clothes and stuffed them into his belt, then put the Seven-Knot Grass into his clothes.
"Ah, yes." Yu Yan did not explain as she walked forward slowly. After a dozen steps, she picked up another bouquet of wildflowers and held it in her hand.
"What is this?" Ah Lang looked at the blade of grass in her hand and asked curiously.
"I don't know, I just think this flower looks good, I'll go back and put it in the flower vase, did the Prince say when he would ask Nian An and Nian En to come back?"
"The two of them have already returned to the Duke's Palace. Only you and Madam Chen Yao are allowed to enter the King's tent. Others are not allowed to enter."
"How's the war going in front of us?" Yu Yan nodded, and then asked casually.
"Yeah, it's a stalemate. We won't be able to fight across the river, and the warships and soldiers have lost quite a bit. That's why the Prince is rushing over here. If he wants to come up with a plan to break through the city, he must attack Chu Jing City on the other side of the river within six days. " Ah Lang waved her sword and cut a few more wild flowers that she fancied. After tying them with vines, she followed behind her.
"Ah Lang, you are so attentive." Yu Yan smiled as she looked at him.
"Your Highness has decreed that whatever the Empress does and wants, this subordinate will help the Empress accomplish it." Ah Lang replied her seriously.
