Xiao Xiao Yuxie GL

No matter what happens anywhere, it cannot stop the torrent of time moving forward. The cold winter passes, the warm spring is fleeting, and the weather begins to heat up.

It has been eleven months since Qin Yixiao left.

In the past eleven months, the situation has changed, Yin country's iron hoof has almost swept across half of the continent, and the remaining half has fallen into Li Guo's grasp.

Even ordinary people can smell the intensified gunpowder between the two countries.

Although the situation is still calm at the moment, there is a great legacy of the Chu and Han traditions of demarcation and rule, and mutual non-aggression, but wars may break out at any time.

The people living on the border between the two countries, those with affluent families, had already made preparations and wisely chose to escape the war in other places, leaving some poor families, or old and weak women and children, showing a desolate state.

This kind of place is also a breeding ground for crime, bandits and bandits haunt, and there are no officers and soldiers to take care of them.

On the third day of the fifth lunar month, in the country of Yin, at Lushan Mountain in Dongyue.

A group of thieves rode forward slowly on the mountain road, about a dozen of them, each of them had a long rope tied behind their horses, and many women were tied to the long rope.

Most of the women are barefoot, stepping on the mountain road full of gravel, which makes people feel distressed.

Buying and selling women during the war was undoubtedly a considerable income, and those who were good-looking and young were sold to brothels.

In fact, forced prostitutes exist at any time, and if there is a purchase, there will be a sale.

As long as there are men in the world who take pleasure in women, some people will treat women as goods, but in this case, the business has become more blatant.

Even, standing behind these thieves is a chamber of commerce or an official.

The thieves talked and laughed loudly, and the women behind were crying.

The sound of arrows piercing through the air came, and the leader of the bandit was still talking, but he was shot through the heart and fell off his horse.

"Who is it!" Everyone drew out their swords one after another, looking vigilant, anything is possible in troubled times, there are jackals like them that eat people, and naturally there are cheetahs that specialize in eating jackals.

A horse stepped out slowly from the nearby bushes, and the rider on the horse was wearing a bamboo hat. He lowered his head, his face was hidden under the bamboo hat.

The thieves held their breath and concentrated. After half the salary, they found that there was only one enemy, so they became arrogant.

"Hmph, stop blocking the way, do you know who we are, but we..." One of the thieves spoke in a disdainful tone. In the middle, a sword ended his life.

The horse was fast, and the opponent's movements were also very fast. Before anyone saw the opponent's movements clearly, four or five people had already been beheaded by the horse.

Those who survived the disaster immediately dispersed, and then looked at the young man wearing a bamboo hat, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.

"you……"

"Whoever dismounts will not be killed." The young man's voice was a little hoarse, but not deep.

The killing just now was the most powerful deterrent. The bandits glanced at each other, jumped off their horses, and fled.

The girls didn't know what happened, they hugged each other in a panic when they saw the dead man.

The young man drove the horse forward, swung his sword and cut the rope tied behind the horse, "Let's go, find a safe place, and don't be caught again."

Among the girls, there was a braver one who raised his head slightly to see that there was a delicate face under the bamboo hat, but unfortunately, there was a scar on the right cheek from the eyebrow to the cheek which ruined the delicate face.

Not too obvious, just slightly obtrusive.

The young man glanced at the bold woman, who quickly lowered her head in surprise.

When all the ropes were cut, the young man rode away, and the women untied each other's ropes and left in twos and threes.

Only the woman just now stood there and looked at the young man's back as he went away.

"A Yin, what are you looking at?" Someone tugged at her sleeve.

"That person just now..." Ah Yin muttered to herself, recalling the pair of eyes she saw just now, she always felt that there was an unresolved sadness in that person's eyes.

Such a powerful person, why do you still worry?

"Don't think about that person, let's go quickly."

"En?" The woman came back to her senses, "Okay."

The young man galloped on the mountain path for a while, and another horse sprang out from the side. The horse was thin and small, also wearing a bamboo hat and a green dress.

Perhaps the horse galloped too fast, blowing off the green-clothed man's bamboo hat, revealing his appearance.

The man in blue was none other than Ding Yi, he jumped up and stood on the horse, stretched out his hand and pulled back the bamboo hat and put it on his head, saying "It's dangerous, it's dangerous."

Ding Yi grabbed the reins, sat back on the horse again and said, "The sword just now is good, it's worth my trouble to teach you, but from now on, don't worry about business, such dirty transactions are everywhere in troubled times, you save me again How much did you get?"

Qin Yixiao lowered the bamboo hat, did not answer Ding Yi's words, but said, "Where are we going now?"

"Go to leave the country."

"Are you going to see the emperor who has left the country?"

"No, no, the world is a big game of chess today. The players who play chess are Li Guo and Yin Guo, but the real chess players are neither Li Guo nor Yin Guo Emperor, but Prime Minister Feng Yan and Yin Guo. King Qi Duan Xunfeng, and you, are going to be the third chess player."

On the ninth day of May, I left the country and went to a hunting ground in the outskirts of Qingzhou.

This is a hunting ground used by the royal family of the Li Kingdom. It covers an area from south to north that is larger than some small counties. On weekdays, there is a special person in charge of this land, and it is only used for the royal family's annual hunting sacrifice.

According to the usual practice, the Liguo hunting festival should have been in spring, but this year's special circumstances, so it was changed to summer.

On the high platform, the emperor sat in the middle, Duan Xunfeng sat on his left side, and the rest of the royal officials and relatives sat on the two sides according to their official rank and status under the high platform.

Although hunting and offering sacrifices to heaven is a major event for the country, the atmosphere is pleasant, more like a matter of entertainment, so many princes and ministers also brought some female relatives.The women who took off their gauze clothes and skirts and put on bunt riding clothes also had the tendency to be unstoppable.

At this time, Qin Tianjian was reading out the proclamation of the Counselor, Duan Xunfeng took a sip of the tea on the short table in front of him, but his eyes fell on the inconspicuous position at the end of the civil servant.

I didn't expect to see Liu Luoxi again on such an occasion.

Judging from where Liu Luoxi is sitting, it is undoubtedly counted among the family members brought by Zhuo Yuanliang, the Guanglu Temple minister. The Guanglu Temple minister is only from the third rank, and he is not even qualified to sit here, but Zhuo Yuanliang's grandfather was Zhuo Yu, the Grand Fu of the dynasty.

The Minister of Guanglu Temple is not eligible to sit, but the grandson of the Taifu is.

Liu Luoxi wore a light green riding outfit today, and her long hair, which was always scattered behind her back, was tied up with a belt, making her look a little more heroic.

Zhuo Yuanliang approached Liu Luoxi, seeming to be whispering something, Liu Luoxi nodded from time to time.

But from Duan Xunfeng's point of view, Zhuo Yuanliang seemed to be kissing Liu Luoxi's cheek, and she couldn't help frowning.

Emperor Shuoyuan Duan Jinshen noticed Duan Xunfeng's unusualness, looked at her, and saw Liu Luoxi as well.

For a moment, he thought he saw Yin Wenyan, but when he looked carefully, there was a difference. For example, Yin Wenyan would never put his hands on the table and support his head, pretending to be bored.

Duan Jinshen was still a child when he saw Yin Wenyan, but he was deeply impressed by Yin Wenyan, because Yin Wenyan was dignified no matter when and where.

Duan Jin smiled meaningfully, turned his gaze back calmly, and returned to Qin Tianjian.

In fact, Liu Luoxi didn't care about it at all, it was just hunting, so what's the point.If it weren't for her grandfather forcing her to come with Zhuo Yuanliang, she would not even want to come with eight sedan chairs to invite her.

Before coming here, grandpa always mentioned the grandson of the Taifu's family intentionally or unintentionally, and praised Zhuo Yuanliang for his unique appearance in heaven and earth.

Liu Luoxi turned her head and looked at Zhuo Yuanliang. She was fair-looking, handsome, well-mannered, and a gentleman, but... she was full of words, and she was extremely bored.

In fact, Grandpa's purpose is obvious, but to match her and Zhuo Yuanliang, but this Mr. Li Guojia doesn't seem to suit our Miss Liu's appetite.

After dealing with Zhuo Yuanliang's boring topic, Liu Luoxi sighed and turned her head, then saw the woman named Duan Xunfeng sitting on the high platform again.

Thinking of leaving without saying goodbye last time, Liu Luoxi couldn't be happier, and her bad mood fell to the bottom.

She gritted her teeth, picked up her chopsticks and poked in the delicate sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of her, taking it as Duan Xunfeng to vent her hatred.

Zhuo Yuanliang thought she wanted to pick up cakes, and thought he was gentle to help Liu Luoxi put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into the bowl, and said with a smile, "Why light blue and dark red, they are the best flowers, Qingzhou sweet-scented osmanthus is the most famous, This is the famous sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Qingzhou, Miss Liu, try it."

Liu Luoxi rolled her eyes in her heart, she didn't want to eat osmanthus cake, she wanted to eat Duan Xunfeng!

The obscurity and incomprehension of the inscription, which was longer than the foot wrap, was finally finished, followed by the cumbersome ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, which was busy from morning to evening.

The sky is full of red sunset, and the musicians and dancers file in. On the wide flat ground, someone has set up a wooden platform, and on it is performing what is called singing and dancing.

That's when the hunt really begins.

The emperor personally went down to the high platform and stepped on the horse. The entourage immediately handed over the bow and arrow. Duan Jinshen reached out to take it, "There is no distinction between monarchs and ministers in the hunting ground today, but by virtue of strength, the one who hunted the only phoenix-tailed deer in the field will be rewarded with a higher rank." , Those who have a noble will be entrusted with the land, and those who have no noble will be granted a noble."

"Long live the emperor!" All the ministers shouted in unison. This reward made the eyes of all the ministers brighten, especially the military officers. You must know that those who are lucky enough to hunt with the holy driver are high-ranking ministers. The fiefdom is a great gift, no one is not tempted.

"Since there is such a good fortune this year, I'm here to join in the fun." Duan Xunfeng also stepped on the horse and walked to Duan Jinshen's side.

"Sister Huang is very excited this year." Duan Jin smiled deeply. You must know that Duan Xunfeng is not in good health. In previous years, he couldn't go hunting for a cutscene, so he went back to King Qi's tent to rest.

Duan Xunfeng patted the night-glowing white horse under her and said, "I have rested a lot, and I want to try my skills occasionally to see if my riding and shooting skills are the same as before."

"Then let's see who wins this year, whether it's Zhen, the emperor's sister, or which minister." Duan Jin pulled the reins deeply, "I will go first."

The horse galloped out like an arrow leaving the string, and disappeared from everyone's sight.After Duan Jinshen set off, many courtiers also got on their horses and set off, leaving only some elderly princes and ministers here to drink and chat, and watch songs and dances to add to the fun.

This is the battlefield of young people, and their own children and grandchildren will compete, and they have no interest.

Taifu stroked his beard and smiled like an old fox. The conversation between the emperor and King Qi just now was ordinary to the ears of unintentional people, but it was different to the ears of those who cared.

Who is the king of Qi? If he is an official, wouldn't he be the king of long live?

Does King Qi have ulterior motives or is really here to join in the fun, who knows?

When the horse walked to Liu Luoxi's table, Duan Xunfeng slowed down and looked down at Liu Luoxi.

"His Royal Highness Qi is a thousand years old." Zhuo Yuanliang didn't expect Duan Xunfeng to stop in front of him, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves and made a bow.

"En." Duan Xun Fengyun responded lightly, and galloped out with his horse's belly.

What, what does this person mean by stopping to look at her? It's really annoying.

Liu Luoxi looked at Duan Xunfeng's back, and the white brocade suit disappeared from her sight.

"Which one is our horse?" Liu Luoxi asked.

Zhuo Yuanliang waved his hand, and someone led the horse forward.

"Didn't Miss Liu say she doesn't like hunting?" Zhuo Yuanliang took the rein, "Actually, it's good to watch singing and dancing here."

"I like it now, can't I?" Liu Luoxi stepped on the horse and chased in the direction of Duan Xunfeng.

"Miss Liu..." Zhuo Yuanliang shook his head, and quickly jumped on another horse. This Miss Liu is as beautiful as she is, but her personality is too fickle.

Why can't you be more gentle?
