"Where did you go just now?" Qi Xiao bumped into Bai Xiqiao blocking him with a cold face as soon as he entered the door.

Qi Xiao didn't respond, he walked around behind the screen to take off his dusty coat and boots and socks, and was about to change into another suit, just across the Baixi Bridge outside.

"I'm asking you, where did you go?"

"next door."

"Where's the snake?"

"next door."

Bai Xiqiao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and asked, "What on earth are you thinking?"

"Thinking about what?"

"Tang Ling."

"What's up with him?"

"Now it's just you and my senior brother. I even paid for Zong Sheng. Tell the truth to senior brother, do you have a crush on him?" Ling was on guard, but he obviously cared too much about Tang Ling, and his attitude towards Tang Ling was also ambiguous and unusual.

Qi Xiao took off his robe and hung it on the hanger. After a while, he smiled lightly and said, "Looking at him? What do you mean? Why are you looking at him?"

Baixiqiao couldn't bear Qi Xiao making detours for him here, strode over with arms folded, Qi Xiao wanted to avoid him, but he wanted to stand in front of Qi Xiao.

With his upper body bare, Qi Xiao was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Baixi Bridge: "What are you doing? Get out."

"What do you look like, senior brother?"

"Brother, could it be that... you are the one who has taken a fancy to me, so you are jealous of Tang Ling?" Qi Xiao teased Bai Xiqiao with a smirk on his face.

Baixiqiao didn't like Qi Xiao's tricks, he raised his foot and kicked Qi Xiao's calf: "Be more honest! It's useless to talk nonsense."

Qi Xiao put on a clean underwear, straightened his loose hair, and took a deep breath: "What do you want me to say?"

"Tang Ling."

Bai Xiqiao made up his mind, he must make everything clear to Qi Xiao today, and pulled out the words Tang Ling from his heart, "Don't you yourself think that you care too much about him? You said to stay away from him, but you gave me a bunch of fair reasons, but you are fooling me, or are you fooling yourself?"

Of course Qi Xiao knew what Bai Xiqiao was talking about, but he didn't know how to answer.

It was true that he wanted to use Tang Ling, and he didn't fool Bai Xiqiao, but it was the use that made him feel unhappy.

Just like yesterday, when Tang Ling mentioned Lu Xiulin to Qi Xiao, his face immediately changed, and he could hardly suppress the boredom and anger in his heart.

Tang Ling didn't know why Qi Xiao wanted to find out about Bai Liu's life, so she deliberately mentioned Lu Xiulin to test Qi Xiao.

Favors are favors, news is news, so using is using, they shouldn't be friends, but Qi Xiao suddenly hates this reality.

When Tang Ling said that they were friends, and that they should be able to care about, chat about their concerns, and eat a bowl of noodles together like friends, Qi Xiao's hidden worries and entanglements were quickly covered up by relaxation and happiness.

He likes staying with Tang Ling, at least most of the time.

When Qi Xiao saw the little white snake, he just liked it and wanted to give it to Tang Ling, which didn't seem to make any sense.

He couldn't answer Baixi Bridge's question.

"It's just friends."

"Ha," Bai Xiqiao snorted, very disdainful, "Friend? You and him? Do you believe it yourself?"

"Brother, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Don't say that now, even when you were still in Yongcheng, you have been wrong since that folding fan. Tang Ling gave you a drug, right? It is not enough to save him once or twice. Now you are doing it for him and for a piece of paper. White Snake, dare to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty, will you die?"

Qi Xiao frowned, he wanted to refute, but what Bai Xiqiao said was right, he just wanted to give the little white snake to Tang Ling, and no one else could take a look at it, not even the fifth child, nor His Majesty.

"Being cautious in front of him won't make my life easy.

Even if you disobey him in public, you may not lose your life.

He put me in front of the fifth and the seventh, gave me the decree so that I can enter the palace at any time, and hunted to force me to do my best. He set me up high and made me a target of public criticism. Although he may not be in that situation It is helpful to me, but it will definitely not punish me seriously.

On the other hand, if I can really anger him and let me be punished, so that the old five and the seven can let me go, that would be great. "

With Baixiqiao on his back, Qi Xiao tidied up the newly changed robe and belt.

"quibble."

"By the way, I didn't notice anyone following behind in the forest.

He said that Xuanji was lurking in the forest. He probably didn't lie to me, but I'm afraid it wasn't the hidden guards, but mingled with the hunters.

Yao Yishan's subordinates, or even Yao Yishan is also possible.

When you see Lu Xiulin, you must avoid people. "

"Lu Xiulin won't be able to run away for a while.

The Xuanji Camp can't help me. "

Bai Xiqiao pressed Qi Xiao's shoulder, pressed him to sit down, and stared at him condescendingly, "Don't ramble, I'm talking about Tang Ling.

Since you don't mean that to him, stay away from him. "

Qi Xiao was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed: "If that's what you mean, can you get closer to him?"

Bai Xiqiao's face became more and more gloomy, and he said viciously: "Say it again."

Qi Xiao restrained himself from joking, and bowed his head in silence.

Baixiqiao sat down next to Qi Xiao, and said, "Xiao'er, have you heard the story about Yao Nong and the Snake?"

Before Qi Xiao could respond, Bai Xiqiao continued: "Yao Nong went to the mountain to gather medicine, found a wounded little snake, and saved it.

The little snake seems to have a human nature, and is very intimate with Yao Nong. He likes to curl up next to Yao Nong, and even get into his clothes. Eating, living and sleeping together, after more than ten years, the little snake has grown into a giant python, but it still relies on Yao Nong.

Until one day, Yao Nong, who was supposed to go out to deliver medicinal materials, did not come, and the villagers went to look for him, only to find that Yao Nong was missing, and the snake was in the medicine field behind the house, with its abdomen stretched out several times, and it swallowed Yao Nong middle. "

Qi Xiao glanced at Baixiqiao and disliked his story very much.

"It turns out that the snake coiled around Yao Nong to sleep every day is not for intimacy, but to measure whether it is capable of swallowing prey with its own length."

"Tang Ling is not a snake."

But Qi Xiao himself said that the little white snake looked like Tang Ling, beautiful but extremely poisonous.

"He doesn't bite you now, it doesn't mean he likes you.

When he bites you, it's all over. "

Qi Xiao sighed, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Senior brother..."

"okay."

Bai Xiqiao raised his hand to interrupt Qi Xiao, and sighed deeply, "You are smarter than me, Senior Brother, so think it out for yourself."

Bai Xiqiao stood up and took a fixed look at Qi Xiao, then turned and walked out.

Qi Xiao lowered his head again, sighing softly.

***

At the end of the day, the second round of hunting began, Zhou Guo envoys drew this group, and Tang Ling was among them.

Compared with the generals and soldiers who participated in the hunting, Tang Ling's figure was much thinner. He sat on the horse with a calm expression, and the princes of the aristocratic families around him were all working hard, and they were already excited before entering the forest. The outing, with casual eyes following the wind, looked towards the sky, the clouds, and the dense forest, and suddenly turned to look at Qi Xiao.

Tang Ling smiled softly at the moment when the four eyes met and met. Although they were a little far away, Qi Xiao could still see clearly. His moon-white embroidered silver robe glowed with layers of light, like waves and scales, it seemed more like that little white snake, very beautiful.

With the sound of the golden gong, Tang Ling rode his horse into the dense forest with the crowd, and then Qi Xiao slowly looked away and lowered his head to drink tea.

During the two hours of hunting, other people on the school field naturally have other games, such as throwing pots, Cuju, and polo.

Qi Xiao was originally an inconspicuous prince, but now he was mentioned by the emperor several times, but he wanted to hide but there was nowhere to hide. The hunt started, and the fifth and seventh princes came to invite Qi Xiao to play polo.

Under the eyes of everyone, Qi Xiao couldn't refute the two elder brothers' intentions, so he had to act like brothers and sisters. Before leaving, Qi Xiao accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Fangjin's smirk, and a bad idea arose in his heart. My idea is to simply invite Lu Fangjin, he can't bear the crime alone, everyone can have fun together.

***

It wasn't until night, when a bonfire was set up outside the tent for a barbecue, that Qi Xiao got the chance to sit with Tang Ling.

Originally, this evening meal was to roast their own prey, but in order to win, Qi Xiao hunted those small things. Although there were a lot of voles and birds, it was not enough trouble to deal with so many people, and Tang Ling and the others hunted them. There were neither too much nor too little, including goats, wild boars, hares, and deer, which just happened to give Qi Xiao an opportunity to come and eat and drink.

When Baixiqiao heard Qi Xiao say that he wanted to go there for dinner, he was so angry that he would rather eat dry buns in the tent than come, if they were not in Baiyan Mountain and under the eyes of the emperor, Baixiqiao would definitely take Qi Xiao Xiao was beaten violently.

Qi Xiao ignored Baixi Bridge, and took Zong Sheng and other guards to eat meat and drink.

"I hunted a lot."

Qi Xiao tossed and roasted two hares while gossiping with Tang Ling.

Tang Ling smiled and asked back: "Seeing that I can ride a horse and hunt, the prince is disappointed?"

"Surprise, it's a surprise."

Qi Xiao laughed and corrected Tang Ling.

"Although the score is not high, it must be enough to eat tonight."

Qi Xiao tilted his head to look at Tang Ling, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

After hunting Tang Ling in the afternoon, he was eliminated without any accident. He hunted a wild boar and a roe deer. These two consumed his twenty arrows, and also consumed many arrows of his two guards. The result is at the bottom, but the portion is very generous, as if it is specially designed to eat more meat at night.

Tang Ling smelled the smell of meat and couldn't help but feel a little greedy. After two sips of wine, she became even more greedy, and asked repeatedly, "Is it roasted?"

Before Qi Xiao could respond, Qing Lan came over from the side and brought a plate of mutton: "My lord."

Tang Ling received it in her hand, turned her head and handed it to Qi Xiao.

Qing Lan saw that it was too late to stop her, and her teeth itched with hatred: "My lord, I'll bring you another plate."

"No need, Qing Lan, you can eat by yourself, I have enough here.

The rabbit is almost ready to the naked eye.

Go ahead. "

"..." Qing Lan was depressed, and before leaving, she didn't forget to give Qi Xiao a look, but Qi Xiao had the right to ignore it.

Holding the mutton, Tang Ling said to Qi Xiao, "I'll roast the rabbit meat, you eat some first."

"It's okay, you eat first."

Tang Ling stopped persuading, took back the mutton, took a piece and put it directly to Qi Xiao's mouth.

Qi Xiao was startled, so he opened his mouth and bit down on the mutton, chewed it slowly twice, and secretly looked back at Tang Ling.

Tang Ling was drinking with her head half upturned, his jawline was tough yet gentle, and his cheeks and neck were slightly pinkish, perhaps because of the bonfire, or perhaps because of the smell of alcohol. If there is a coldness that seems to be absent, it makes him suddenly warm up.

Tang Ling noticed Qi Xiao's eyes turned sideways, she drank a cup of wine and looked down at Qi Xiao and smiled.

Tang Ling always seemed to have a slight smile on her face, but that kind of smile was always alienated and indifferent. It seemed that just at this moment, Tang Ling's smile was like fireworks, suddenly bright, gorgeous, and suddenly let Qi Xiao Can't get enough of it.

"Why are you looking at me?"
