Tyrant's Secret

It coincided with the spring search, Ling Jue led a group of cavalry to hunt in the paddock, and Zhan Yanchu accompanied them.

Zhan Yanchu looked at Ling Jue intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that Ling Jue was wearing a light silver fur armor, which made him look more heroic and energetic.

When Zhan Yan saw him for the first time, everything was fine now, and he smiled with relief.Although he knew that there would be no result with him, and he had already cut off his thoughts, it was enough to be able to protect him like this as a courtier.

"Young General Zhan, I heard that you have proposed marriage to the daughter of the Dou family. Congratulations!" Seeing Zhan Yanchu's friendly manner, the ministers at the side couldn't help but chat with him.

Zhanyan came back to his senses at the beginning, smiled and bowed to the minister: "Thank you."

"Tsk tsk, Major General Zhan is really a good-looking man, polite and polite. Prime Minister Dou is really blessed to have such a son-in-law!"

At the beginning of the banquet, he said with a sneer: "My lord, I appreciate it."

……

When Ling Jue heard that Zhan Yanchu was talking and laughing with others in the back, and that people would congratulate him from time to time, his mood became even more depressed for no reason, and his eyes were momentarily as cold as ice.

Trapped in the palace for a long time with a pent-up heart, and when it is difficult to get vent, Ling Jue will inevitably use ruthless hands when hunting, and will only pick some swift and fierce wild birds.

Lu Bowu was riding on a horse, seeing this situation, he sincerely praised: "Your Majesty's riding and archery skills are truly outstanding! It is truly a blessing to have you like this!"

"Yes, yes." The other ministers responded one after another, and said with a smile: "I am afraid that no one in Tianjin will be able to match such a proficient skill!"

Amidst the sound of admiration, there was a sudden snort, the ministers fell silent, and following the prestige, it turned out to be Dou Kun.

The other ministers didn't dare to say anything even after hearing it.Meng Qiubai was a person who couldn't hold his breath, and couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Dou Kun, and said with a playful smile, "Yao, why does Dou Youcheng seem to have objections?"

Lu Bowu snorted coldly, and said contemptuously: "It's likely that Dou Youcheng thinks that his own son can hold his own!" His son—? "Meng Qiubai deliberately elongated his voice in a strange voice: "Oh, I remembered, isn't it the brave and invincible Major General Dou!It seems that he is still stuck at home and can't get out of bed!It's a pity that we can't open our eyes today! "

Such an old, treacherous and cunning person as Dou Kun, how can he not hear the irony in it, but he still held his breath and said with a smile: "General Meng may have misunderstood. How dare I have any objection to your Majesty's riding and shooting skills? It's just a sudden When I think of something, I can't help but smile!"

"Oh, Dou Youcheng is here to listen." Meng Qiubai smiled and looked at Dou Kun, secretly wondering what tricks you, an old fox, can do.

Dou Kun said with a smile: "In the past, His Majesty's personal expeditions boosted morale. In just a few months, he defeated Xi You's army with outnumbered enemies. It can be described as a shocking move. Unexpectedly, on the way back to Beijing, His Majesty's beloved horse suddenly disappeared for no reason. It was out of control, but luckily Chu'er caught up with him on horseback and rescued him in time, thus avoiding a catastrophe."

The ministers around couldn't help but look slightly ill, secretly thinking that they hadn't married their daughter-in-law at the beginning of the exhibition banquet, and they were shown off by Dou Kun, but no one dared to show disdain, and they all responded with a half-hearted smile. and praise.

After hearing this, Zhan Yanchu hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "At that time, the younger generation was just a coincidence, and I really dare not take credit for it."

"Nephew Zhanxian don't need to be overly modest." Meng Qiubai smiled, and said again: "Nephew Zhanxian is so capable at such a young age, it is really rare to be so gentle and frugal! Compared with some veteran officials in this court, tsk tsk , I want to show off something.”

Hearing this, Dou Kun felt annoyed for a while, and said with a smirk: "General Meng, speaking of it, I may not have competed with you for a long time, do you want to compete?"

Lu Bowu sneered, secretly thinking that this Dou Kun is really disgusting.Among these people back then, apart from Zhan Gu, who else was Dou Kun's opponent?Now that Zhan Gu's body is not as good as before, Dou Kun is proud of himself.

Meng Qiubai didn't bother to meddle, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, I dare not dare, I admit defeat. Young talents insist on fighting for the victory, so I will not toss about the old bones of this official."

Dou Kun smiled: "Well said. Young people need to compete." He looked at Ling Jue again, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the veteran has a suggestion."

Ling Jue said coldly: "Dou Youcheng just talk about it."

Dou Kun looked around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, would you like to have a discussion with General Zhan, so that I can open my eyes?"

Ling Jue froze upon hearing this.

Zhan Yanchu quickly looked at Ling Jue with wide eyes.

"Alright." ("I dare not!")

The two said at the same time.

"Zhan Yanchu." Ling Jue squinted his eyes, glanced at Zhan Yanchu, and ordered coldly: "Get out!"

When Zhan Yanchu met those cold eyes, his heart froze, and he hurriedly said, "Yes."

Quickly rushed to Ling Jue's side.

The two rode side by side in front of the formation, I saw that both of them were tall and straight, with their clothes flapping, looking at their backs, they felt heroic, majestic, and indescribably magnificent.All the ministers couldn't help restraining their minds, waiting to see the contest between the strong.

Ling Jue raised his head slightly, his brows and eyes were even more cold and arrogant, he held the whip and pointed forward, and said to Zhan Yanchu: "Today I will gallop with you, the first one to get out of this forest is the winner, what do you think? "

At the beginning of the banquet, he cupped his hands and said, "It's all according to His Majesty's orders."

Along the way, Zhan Yanchu yielded to Ling Jue wholeheartedly, but followed behind.

Ling Jue felt that Zhan Yanchu intended to give in, so he stopped and reprimanded coldly: "Zhan Yanchu, show your strength! I don't want to compete with trash!"

When Zhan Yan first heard the words, he hurriedly said: "The last general obeys orders." After speaking, he swung his horsewhip heavily and followed closely.

Both Zhan Yanchu and Ling Jue were first-class masters, they moved swiftly like the wind, their horseshoes stepped on the ground clanging powerfully, and they both entered the depths of the forest in a short while.

When the two were evenly matched, there was another strange flute sound in the forest.

At first, Zhan Yan remembered the sound of the flute when His Majesty was in danger last time, and felt something strange about it, so he hurriedly looked at Ling Jue.

Ling Jue's horse turned around after hearing the sound of the flute and galloped away, completely out of Ling Jue's control.

"Your Majesty!" Zhan Yanchu hurriedly followed beside him.

The horse was running faster and faster, Ling Jue felt like a wind was blowing in his ears, no matter how tight he was, trying to control it was useless.

There was a sharp pain in the ankle, I don't know if it was caught by something, probably a tree branch or something.Ling Jue gritted his teeth in pain, cursing inwardly, it's abominable, with such a deep wound, it might be difficult to even jump off the horse.

"Your Majesty, give me your hand!"

In the chaos, Zhan Yanchu suddenly shouted from the side.Ling Jue looked to one side, and saw Zhan Yanchu was beside him, stretching out his hand to him, with such worry and eagerness in his eyes.

That hand was of a healthy bronze color, slender and well-proportioned, with well-defined joints, and a thick callus had formed on the palm due to years of sword practice, but just opening it slightly towards him felt full of strength.

Ling Jue suddenly felt relieved, and he stretched out his hand involuntarily.

Zhan Yanchu held his hand tightly, wrapped his cool fingers with a hot palm, and pulled him over.

Ling Jue was pulled by that powerful hand, and landed in front of Zhan Yanchu. Zhan Yanchu held Ling Jue in front of him, and the hand holding the rein firmly reined in the horse's rope, forcing the horse to stop slowly. down.

The two of them just came out of the woods.

Outside the forest is a vast grassland, the breeze is blowing, the grass is green, and the villages in the distance are faintly visible.

Ling Jue took a deep breath in a relaxed and happy manner, and realized that Zhan Yanchu was still holding her, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.He moved his lips, just about to ask Zhan Yanchu to let go, but suddenly Zhan Yanchu hugged him from behind.

Zhan Yanchu opened his arms and hugged him tightly, and comforted him with lingering fears: "Your Majesty, it's all right...it's all right."

There was uncontrollable tension in Zhan Yanchu's voice, as if he was afraid that he would suffer even the slightest bit of harm.

The first time Ling Jue saw such an out-of-control Zhan Yanchu, he couldn't help being stunned, letting him hug her, unable to say a word.

Zhan Yan didn't realize that he was out of control until half an hour later, and let him go.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, minister, minister lost his composure."

Ling Jue's eyes moved slightly, and said, "No problem."

Zhan Yan got off his horse at the beginning, and respectfully said to Ling Jue: "Your Majesty, get off your horse first and let me check your wounds for you!"

Ling Jue felt a sharp pain in his foot, hesitated for a while, thinking that if Zhan Yanchu hugged him, he would inevitably be disturbed by him like just now, so he decided to get off the horse himself.

He gritted his teeth and got off the horse, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, his ankle felt like being pierced with a knife, and the pain was unbearable. With a muffled grunt, he staggered and fell to one side.

"Your Majesty!" Zhan Yanchu hastily leaned over to catch Ling Jue.

Ling Jue also instinctively grabbed Zhan Yanchu's skirt.

He raised his head, and saw his shadow in Zhan Yanchu's gentle and clear eyes.

Ling Jue suddenly became even more chaotic, an unprecedented chaos.

He let go uncomfortably.

Such a posture is too ambiguous, Zhan Yanchu's arms are wrapped around Ling Jue's waist, and there is still that familiar feeling in the palm of his hand.And Ling Jue looked at him, his slightly parted thin lips seemed to be able to taste the taste as soon as he lowered his head, his face blushed at the beginning of the banquet, but he didn't care about being ashamed, his eyes dodged and he supported Ling Jue to sit slowly Down.

"Your Majesty, how are you?" Zhan Yanchu knelt down on one knee beside Ling Jue to check his wound.

Ling Jue sat leaning against the tree in a daze.

"Your Majesty, your foot is injured!" When Zhan Yanchu saw the blood on his ankle, he became very anxious. He quickly helped Ling Jue take off his boots, and then pulled up his trousers, only to see the deep wound on Bai Shengsheng's ankle. The bones were almost visible, and the blood flow continued.

"Your Majesty is in pain...be patient." Zhan Yanchu was so distressed that he tore off the strip of cloth from his clothes and carefully bandaged Ling Jue's ankle.

Ling Jue looked at Zhan Yanchu.Zhan Yanchu was kneeling on the ground with one knee, lowered his head, and carefully bandaged his ankle.Without realizing it, there was still a leaf stuck in his head.

What a fool.

Ling Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, and involuntarily stretched out his slender and fair hands, wanting to remove the leaves from his head for Zhan Yanchu.

"Is Your Majesty feeling better?" Zhan Yanchu asked worriedly after wrapping up Ling Jue.

Ling Jue withdrew his hand quickly, and said as if nothing had happened: "I'm fine." After a pause, he looked away uncomfortably, and said coldly: "...Take off the leaves on your head."

"Ah? Yes!" Zhan Yanchu scratched his head, only to realize that there were leaves on his head, he quickly smiled and took the leaves off his hair.

He stood up and looked around, sighed and said: "It seems that His Majesty's horse will not be found for a while. Your Majesty's injury is serious, so please feel wronged and ride the same horse back with me!"

When Ling Jue heard that he was going to ride a horse with him again like before, she felt a little weird in her heart, but she still said calmly, "That's fine."
