rebirth will be hard to find

Cheng Zian's guards were winking, and after receiving Cheng Zian's gaze, they ran to the stable and took a horse to wait outside the camp gate. General Jia gave him an appreciative look.

It's not that Chu Yi didn't notice this little thought, but she obviously didn't care about it, she just asked strangely: "Didn't you say that you are going to cook? Why did you leave the camp? Are you going to take me to Linyang?"

Linyang is not far from Xinzhou Daying Camp, and it takes less than an hour to get there by a fast horse. If Cheng Zian wants to take Chu Yi to taste the local specialties, it is just right to take her to Linyang, but today she obviously does not have this plan.

After taking the reins from the soldiers, Cheng Zian raised his head to look at the sky after sending them away, and said, "It's getting late today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back before dark. If Ah Chu wants to go to Linyang, We’ll go back another day.”

Chu Yi walked up to Cheng Zian and asked, "Then where are you going?"

Cheng Zian led the horse and turned to look at Chu Yi, as if intending to help her get on the horse.

Chu Yi saw Cheng Zian's eagerness to move, but how could he be so hypocritical?Immediately, he gave her a blank look, turned around and grabbed the saddle and jumped onto the horse's back, then instead extended his hand to Cheng Zian who was still standing beside the horse.

Cheng Zian smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand to hold Chu Yi's soft and slender hand, and jumped onto the horse's back with a little strength.She sat behind Chu Yi, holding the rein in her hand and encircling Chu Yi in her arms, then flicked the rein to urge the horse to take a step forward.

Chu Yi nestled in Cheng Zian's arms with peace of mind. Before she could ask again, Cheng Zian said behind him: "It's true that I said I don't know how to cook, but it's not difficult to get some food that can be eaten. In the past two years In Xinzhou, I often go out hunting with people when I have nothing to do, and the prey I hunt is often roasted casually, which is not as delicate as the meal in the palace, but once in a while, it should be edible."

Chu Yi is no stranger to hunting, and Cheng Zian even accompanied her on autumn hunting not once or twice.But looking back, although the prey is roasted and eaten every year, most of it is done by the guards under them. At best, they bow their bows and shoot arrows and wait.

For the venison roasted by Cheng Zian himself, Chu Yi suddenly had expectations, at least it was much better than she had expected.Then she suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Is this also a temporary idea? You didn't prepare anything, so what can you bake?"

If there is no salt, the baked food must not be delicious, right?

Cheng Zian didn't answer, but only motioned Chu Yi to look down.

Chu Yi was so focused on talking to Cheng Zian before, but he really didn't notice that there were still many things hanging on the saddle.Not to mention the standing weapons such as bows, arrows and short knives, there is also a small cloth bag hanging on it, you don’t need to open it, just look at the outline of the cloth bag, there seems to be a lot of bottles and cans inside.

After seeing it, Chu Yi couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help saying: "Your soldier is really... caring."

Cheng Zian also laughed, but said indifferently: "They all know that I can't cook, and they also know that I won't make things difficult for you." After a pause, he said: "Open that cloth bag and have a look inside. There should be some things like cooked meat to fill the stomach."

Hearing this, Chu Yi opened the cloth bag. In addition to the bottles and cans containing various condiments, there was indeed an oiled paper bag inside.Opening the oiled paper bag, it was a piece of chopped beef inside, which smelled quite delicious - Cheng Zian's personal soldiers were indeed very considerate.

After leaving the barracks, he rode his horse for a while, and it was far away from the Xinzhou camp. Except for the occasional patrol soldiers, this place was almost deserted.Riding on horseback and looking around, you can see almost all the grass that is gradually yellowing, and there are few trees, but today the sky is clear, and it is the season of autumn, and when you look around, you can only feel the sky is high, the sky is blue, the sky is white, Also don't have some scenery.

Chu Yi doesn't think the scenery here is bad, she is the lord of the world, the whole Chu country is hers, and every place is worth cherishing.As far as Xinzhou was concerned, because of Cheng Zian, it might be a bit more special, so she wanted to take a closer look.

This place is still within the inspection range of Xinzhou Daying, and there are not many animals in places with human voices.Cheng Zian was not in a hurry to find the prey, seeing that Chu Yi seemed to be interested in the surrounding scenery, he slowed down and walked reassuringly.Occasionally gossip a few words, the two of them don't say that they are out hunting, but more like they are out to play.

Such leisurely play came to an end temporarily when Cheng Zian suddenly took out his bow and set up an arrow.

After not seeing each other for two years, General Cheng became more and more agile. Before Chu Yi could react at all, she had already taken the bow and arrow from the saddle, and shot it with one arrow.

The bowstring vibrated behind him, followed by the sound of arrows piercing through the air, and Chu Yi only realized what happened belatedly.She followed the direction of the sound of breaking the air, and saw an unremarkable gray-haired rabbit shot by Cheng Zian's arrow on the green grass in the distance.It was firmly nailed to the ground by the arrow, but it was not completely dead. It kicked several times with its powerful hind legs, and then gradually became weak.

Cheng Zian hung the bow and arrow back casually, then drove the horse forward, bent over when the horse trotted past the rabbit, lifted the arrow together with the rabbit, and then said with a smile: "I missed lunch today, but Our dinner can be regarded as settled."

************************************************** ***************************

Cheng Zian's craftsmanship is actually very average. The roasted rabbit cannot be said to be unpalatable, but it is not delicious either. At least it is completely incomparable with the craftsmanship of the royal chef in the palace.It was only because she hunted the rabbit and roasted it with her own hands that Chu Yi ate it with gusto.

Of course, for them, food is not the key point, today Cheng Zian just took Chu Yi out to play on a whim.

Chu Yi was tearing the meat from the rabbit's legs to eat, while talking and laughing casually: "It's not Xiu Mu today, but you, Zi'an, took me out of the barracks. If General Lu knew about it, he might think that I kidnapped his confidant." would be dereliction of duty."

Cheng Zian was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then smiled softly: "I thought I would follow the rules all my life, until I met you later, and found that I was getting farther and farther away from the life I expected. But this is also very good, for a moment today I didn’t even realize that I was negligent when I pulled you out... Fortunately, Hou Qi has been honest recently, otherwise General Lu would have killed me alive.”

Chu Yi shook his head solemnly: "He doesn't dare. In a few days, I have to kidnap you and take me to Linyangcheng to have a look."

Cheng Zian then put on a serious face and said, "Your Majesty has orders, so don't dare to refuse."

The two finished eating the rabbit meat talking and laughing, and before they knew it, half a day passed by in a hurry.Today, they didn't bring any subordinates, so everything was done by themselves.Cheng Zian put out the fire to clean up the aftermath, and Chu Yi was also helping. After tossing, the sun began to set in the sky.

It's not very far from Xinzhou Daying, and it won't take half an hour to go back quickly, but this is also the fringe of Xinzhou Daying's inspection range.Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Zian didn't dare to take Chu Yi for a stroll, and started to go back on horseback after cleaning up.

The two of them rode together as they did when they came here, and headed towards Xinzhou Daying under the gradually brightening sunset.

The sky and the earth in the distance are vast, gradually dyed in brilliant colors by the setting sun, which makes people feel a different kind of desolation.On the green and yellow grass nearby, two figures cuddling together gradually elongate, as if forming another landscape.

There was silence all around, except for the sound of the wind and the hooves of the horses beneath him, there were no other sounds.

Leaning in Cheng Zian's arms, Chu Yi felt a different kind of peace in his heart.She looked at the two shadows on the ground that seemed to be fused into one, and inexplicably thought "it would be great if I could keep walking like this".

Of course, that idea is unrealistic, and reality is changing especially rapidly.Chu Yi thought that they could at least walk back to Xinzhou Camp quietly like this, but in fact they were only halfway there when Cheng Zian suddenly stopped the horse that was sitting on it.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yi couldn't help asking.

Cheng Zian listened intently for a while, then frowned immediately: "A horse is coming." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "It doesn't look like a patrol, the horse is running too fast."

Chu Yi immediately became serious when she heard the words, but she couldn't hear any movement, so she asked again: "Are there many people?"

Cheng Zian jumped off his horse, leaned against the ground and listened for a while, and when he got up again, his expression eased: "It's not too many, there are only a hundred or so. The patrols of the Xinzhou Camp usually consist of a hundred people. Perhaps it was discovered that the rear Qi The scouts and the like are catching up."

In this regard, Chu Yi naturally believed in Cheng Zian. She also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said, "If it's coming towards us, then we'd better avoid it. After all, it's menacing, and it will be troublesome if we collide."

If Cheng Zian was the only one, she might want to go up to help or something, and even if she miscalculated, the more than 100 people were all enemy troops, and she could get away calmly.But with Chu Yi by her side today, she didn't want to take such a risk. Dang even nodded and got on the horse again, then pulled the rein and turned around, and drove the horse away to avoid people coming.

Unfortunately, things backfired, Cheng Zi'an had already turned around to avoid her, but the people behind seemed to be chasing her, and even changed directions, still chasing Cheng Zi'an and the others.

Because of a little careful thinking, Cheng Zian and the others rode together today, and if they really wanted to gallop, they would definitely be better than riding alone, not to mention Cheng Zian didn't expect that the people behind would chase after them at first.Cherish the horsepower, she didn't really gallop the horse at that time, she just wanted to turn around to avoid it, but who knew that the people behind gradually caught up.

This turn of events was unexpected, and Cheng Zian didn't mess up because of it, so she took the time to look back.

People and horses could be vaguely seen in the distance. Fortunately, it was indeed a confrontation between the two sides, and the people from Xinzhou Daying were the ones behind.What is frustrating is that they are not simply running away and chasing, but shooting arrows at each other while running... These flying arrows are so easy to accidentally injure!
