Qiao Mu avoided Qian You's questioning and made excuses.

"I will accompany you to complete your revenge and will not stop halfway."

"I didn't ask you to stop halfway. I really need you to accompany me every step of the way. You are my most important partner. Compared with Cang Yu, I trust you more and will rely on you more when it comes to revenge."

Qian You looked at him seriously.

Did he feel that I would abandon him?

Nope!

He is my older brother, the one I grew up with!

In her life, he is like a family member.

"really?"

Qiao Mu was a little speechless.

Cangyu's intervention during this period made him feel less important.

"Of course, you are my brother, my biological brother, my most important relative.

My hatred is also your master's hatred. Once a teacher, always a father. My second uncle is your closest elder. Isn't his hatred your hatred?

Why would I stop you from avenging your family?"

Qianyou felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his logic!

Is it because I have neglected Qiao Mu during this period that he has started to have other thoughts?

"Thank you, thank you for treating me as your dearest."

Qiao Mu was a little excited and reached out to gently hug the little girl in front of him.

Growing up together, they used to cuddle a lot.

But since arriving in Dongcang Kyoto, there were many more people and many more things happening, and they were getting farther and farther away, so he could only watch her from afar.

Qian You patted Qiao Mu's back, silently comforting him.

She had too many things to do and neglected her friends.

Qian You stepped aside, looked at Qiao Mu seriously, and said, "Listen to me, Yanran is a good girl, don't miss her."

"Okay, I'll think about it seriously when I get back."

If it's not her, then marry someone she approves of, it doesn't matter who it is.

The actions of the two at the edge of the camp were seen by Ling Ji, who came looking for Qian You.

He couldn't hear what the two said, but the close distance and the hug made Ling Ji feel like the blood in his body was flowing backwards.

arbor?

As expected, visiting as a friend of Princess Nanqi, who had no official position in Dongcang and Nanqi, was not in accordance with etiquette.

It turns out that these two people are actually lovers?

Are they having a secret meeting here?

He clenched his hands and then unclenched them, resisting the urge to move forward. He retreated behind a big tree, hiding his figure, and watched the two people walk past him and head towards the tent.

No, I have to inform my grandfather and ask him to arrange some women to separate the two of them.

Even if he can't be taken away, it's okay to create some estrangement between them. In short, Qianyou can only be his.

The first day was spent in camp.

There was occasional noise in the tents, but it was harmless.

The Emperor and Empress of Xiling are here, as well as the Emperor of Dongcang. Any foolish young man who dares to cause trouble here would have been warned many times by his elders.

Although they also felt that Princess Nanqi was indeed beautiful and extremely attractive, her status was there, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that King Ji was protecting her, so no one dared to compete with King Ji. At most, they could just look at her from afar and fantasize about her.

Day two.

It was still a clear and crisp autumn day. Many people in the tents came out early to breathe the fresh air, and people were everywhere greeting each other.

Such occasions provide young boys and girls with great opportunities to get to know each other. Every year after the Hunting Festival, there is a large peak in wedding celebrations. These are the rare occasions in this era where couples do not have to enter into blind marriages.

As soon as Cangyu came out of the tent, he saw the nearest tent, at the door of which stood the fifth princess Linglu.

"Greetings to His Majesty Dong Cang!"

Ling Lu saluted with her voice rubbed.

Without even glancing at him, Cangyu turned around and strode away.

"Humph! I just don't believe that I can't take you down."

Looking at the tall figure walking away, the fifth princess stamped her feet and spoke angrily.

"Cousin, my uncle was too busy yesterday and didn't have the chance to come here. He said he would come over in a while."

Gu Yumei trotted over. She was a little afraid of her princess cousin.

Not long after, a handsome man in armor walked over.

The man was handsome and high-spirited, with an arrogance that could not be concealed in his bones. However, when he saw the woman at the door of the tent, his military aura faded and he showed a little warmth.

"Cousin, I heard you came to see me yesterday. Is there something?"

"Why did you come just now? Don't you listen to me?"

The fifth princess gave him a sly glance and turned to go into the tent.

The man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he slipped in.

"You go out and guard outside. Don't let anyone in."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

The two senior palace maids who were packing up lowered their heads and left the tent as instructed.

"Cousin, don't be angry. I want to apologize to you. The time for this hunting festival is very tight. I have been busy these past few days and I really didn't have time yesterday."

The man intentionally took a step closer to the woman, and his tall figure obscured the woman's tall figure.

"You all ignored me and made me suffer so much injustice. What am I still alive for?"

The fifth princess acted more like a spoiled child to the man than to her own brother, pouting her little mouth and mumbling.

"I heard that you and Princess Nanqi had a drinking contest two days ago. Did she do something?"

The news of that incident was widely spread. If Gu Feng had not been ordered to arrange matters at the hunting ground as a vanguard, he would have rushed into the palace to find out the truth.

"That should be the case. Anyway, I don't know why it happened like that."

The woman was a little shy and murmured.

What happened that day was really inappropriate. Fortunately, she was a princess of a certain country, otherwise, if a girl from the backyard of a mansion stripped like that in the street, she would be beaten to death when she returned home.

"Will you avenge me, cousin?"

Ling Lu's big eyes were filled with grievance, and her tears seemed unable to flow.

She knew how her cousin had loved her since she was a child, and as long as she posed like this, her cousin would agree to anything she asked for.

"Well, how are you going to get revenge?"

Just as she expected.

"I want her to have no way back."

She wiped away her tears, and there was a cold light in her eyes.

"How can this be possible? When I came here, my father told me to try my best to promote good things between Princess Nanqi and Prince Ji. He never said that he wanted her life."

Gu Feng took a step back, somewhat surprised, with a serious expression.

"Don't you love me anymore?"

Ling Lu stepped forward and stared at the man in front of her domineeringly.

"No, it's not that it doesn't hurt, it's, this, this..."

He didn't know what to say.

He has liked this cousin since he was a child. He likes her domineering, her coquettishness, her every frown and smile, and even her willfulness. In his eyes, she is just a person who has not grown up yet.

Unlike the gentle and virtuous ladies in the harem, she likes to stand up for the weak.

Of course, sometimes she only realizes at the end that she made a wrong call.

Rumor has it that she likes handsome men, but only he knows that she has the intention but not the courage to do so and is just talking about it.

Of course, he is also very confident in his own stunning beauty.

He has been waiting for her to grow up.

Last year, when she came of age, he expressed his feelings to his father, but his mature and prudent father did not respond.

He understood that this marriage would not help his father consolidate his power.

A few days ago, at the palace banquet, his cousin lowered herself to make a bet for Emperor Dong Cang. He was in charge of the guard and was not present at the scene. When he heard about it, he felt a little panicked.

After returning home, he heard the task his father assigned him for the hunting festival: to capture the Emperor of Dongcang and the Princess of Nanqi. The best goal was to capture both of them, and the worst was to capture one of them. His heart ached and he felt incredible for his cousin.

Emperor Dongcang has no feelings for his cousin. Even if the matter is settled, who can protect her if she marries to distant Dongcang in the future?
