Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

The hunting officially started at Chen time, and preparations for going to the hunting grounds could begin at halfway through Mao time.

Although Xie Anshuang drank a lot last night, he was woken up early by Xing Wenshu to adapt, and he had almost recovered by Maozheng.

Xing Wenshu, who came back not long after being driven away, also changed his clothes, changed his usual plain white and elegant style, and put on a set of gray-blue narrow-sleeved tights, which is more chic than the warm and jade-like clothes of the past neat.

Anyway, it's still pretty good.

Xie Anshuang, who was in a good mood, sat on the side, resting his chin on one hand, watching the silhouette of Xing Wenshu looking for clothes for him, he couldn't get enough of it.

How come she looks so good-looking.

Xie Anshuang looked at it recklessly, and when he met Xing Wenshu's suspicious gaze, he said confidently, "Gu is monitoring whether you are working hard."

It's okay if he doesn't say that, as soon as he said Xing Wenshu, he understood his true intention, and walked over with the clothes he found: "That minister will not disappoint His Majesty. Will Your Majesty try this?"

What Xing Wenshu brought over was a set of dark red clothes, which was more in line with Xie Anshuang's usual style - and it was mainly because Xie Anshuang's wardrobe here was very ostentatious except bright red and dark red.

When he walked over, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Does your majesty like red? Normally, your majesty always likes red clothes, and here is even a set of clothes of other colors."

"Why, Xing Aiqing started to care about what color Qigu likes again?" Xie Anshuang raised her head slightly, with a haughty expression, a mole of tears under her left eye loomed.

...like a proud kitten.

How come she looks so cute.

Xing Wenshu suppressed the little impulse in his heart, brought the clothes to Xie Anshuang, changed them for him, and then combed his hair again.

Since today is going hunting and it is not appropriate to wear a crown, Xing Wenshu simply tied a high ponytail for him. Compared with the usual laziness, he has more spirit that a young man should have.

Xing Wenshu praised sincerely: "Your Majesty looks better in this way than in the past."

Xie Anshuang intentionally misinterpreted his meaning: "Why, isn't Gu usually good-looking?"

Xing Wenshu responded with a smile: "Why, Your Majesty is the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

"Slick tongue." Xie Anshuang cursed softly, stood up and continued, "Okay, let's go too, or those old foxes will have to wait."

Xing Wenshu looked at the little redness behind his ears, and he understood it, and he didn't want to puncture it. He responded warmly: "Okay. The chariot minister has ordered someone to prepare it. Your Majesty is respectfully invited to go out."

Xie Anshuang didn't answer any more, he went straight out and got into the carriage, his hasty steps unconsciously revealed his thoughts.

So cute.

Xing Wenshu bent his eyes and smiled, before following his steps.

Since he was going hunting and it was convenient to dress up, Xing Wenshu was directly the driver of the carriage this time, sitting in front and driving the horse.

The door curtain between the carriage and the driver's seat did not fall on purpose, Xie Anshuang sat in the carriage and continued to stare at Xing Wenshu, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

I really can't get enough of it.

Whether it is sitting, standing, or other postures of Xing Wenshu, he wants to carefully record it in his mind and keep it as a thought.

Xie Anshuang stared distractedly, until Xing Wenshu called him several times before realizing it, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xing Wenshu glanced back in his direction, then continued to look at the road, and replied: "I just want to ask, after the hunt starts, do you still need me to follow His Majesty?"

Xie Anshuang responded casually: "No need. The hunting grounds are guarded by special personnel, and ordinary assassins cannot enter. Since it is a hunting competition, Xing Aiqing is free to compete."

"But after all, it's hunting." Xing Wenshu was worried, "It's hard to guarantee whether there are caring people among the ministers."

Xie Anshuang snorted softly: "Could it be that Mr. Xing can't believe in Gu's martial arts? Gu can live to this day, but he has never relied on anyone's protection."

A sentence that sounded ordinary suddenly stabbed Xing Wenshu in the bottom of his heart. He was silent for a while before finally responding: "I understand, Your Majesty must also remember to be careful."

Xie Anshuang waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, I'm not stupid, I don't need Mr. Xing to worry about these things."

Xing Wenshu didn't say any more, and drove the carriage all the way to the hunting ground dutifully.

In front of the hunting ground, a group of ministers participating in the hunting competition had already assembled in advance. In addition, there were many guards in charge of patrolling the ground.

"Your Majesty sees you, long live your majesty, long live, long live—"

Xie Anshuang glanced around in their direction, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone is free from courtesy. Today is a hunting competition, and you don't have to be restrained. According to the old rules, after three days, the top three according to the number of hunts will be rewarded heavily. .As for the one who comes last in the number of hunted, he must be prepared to be punished. Do you understand everything?"

"Sir, you understand."

The rest of the ministers were basically regular visitors to the hunting grounds, and after receiving Xie Anshuang's instructions, they went to prepare for the hunting.

It was the first time for Xing Wenshu to come here with Xie Anshuang, so he followed Xie Anshuang logically, and went with him to the place where the horses were raised in the hunting ground.

Xie Anshuang was already very familiar with this place, so he found a brown-red steed with ease, and patted its head: "Xiao Baibai, long time no see."

"Bah bah——"

The horse called "Xiao Baibai" rubbed Xie An's palms affectionately, and obviously had a good relationship with him.

Xie An ordered people to lead Xiaobai out, took advantage of the opportunity to look around the stables, selected one of the horses and said, "Xing Aiqing will ride that horse. It's called Xiaohong, and its temperament is quite docile."

Xing Wenshu glanced at the plain white Xiaohong, then at the brown-red Xiaobai, suddenly fell silent, and couldn't help asking after a while: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, why is the white horse called Xiaohong and the red horse Xiaobai? "

Xie Anshuang replied reasonably: "Because they were sent together. Could it be that Xing Aiqing has some objection to their names?"

It should be said that it is indeed the way His Majesty named her.

Xing Wenshu smiled and responded: "No, I'm just curious."

After speaking, he stopped standing in place, walked up to Xiaohong and tentatively stretched out his hand to caress its neck.

"咴咴~" Xiaohong called out twice obediently, rubbing her head against Xing Wenshu.

Xie Anshuang watched the interaction between one person and one horse, and after confirming that Xiaohong would not hurt Xing Wenshu, he was relieved, feeling a little pantothenic.

He also wanted to get so close to Xing Wenshu.

Xie Anshuang muttered something in his heart, then ordered someone to bring Xiao Hong out, and then went back to the hunting ground with Xing Wenshu.

The rest of the ministers were all ready to gather near the hunting ground, just waiting for Xie Anshuang's order.

Xie Anshuang glanced around, took the bow and arrow and quiver that Fuyuan handed over at this time, and raised his chin slightly to pay tribute to Fuyuan.

Fuyuan immediately understood what he meant, and announced the official start of the hunting competition in a sharp voice.

The rest of the ministers got on their horses after saluting according to the rules, and Xie An Shuang stepped into the hunting forest first.

Only then did Xing Wenshu take the quiver from the servant, and asked curiously upon seeing this: "Is Your Majesty not going?"

"No hurry." Xie Anshuang got on his horse, the corners of his lips raised lightly, "I've been hunting for three days, so I have to take my time."

He raised his eyes to look at the direction Gong Shilang was heading for, and there was an undetectable sharpness in his eyes.

Xing Wenshu got on his horse, and when he turned his head, he saw his young majesty's proud look, which looked like a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse.

He smiled slightly, and said: "Since that's the case, the minister will go first."

"Go." Xie An raised his head slightly, and watched Xing Wenshu drive his horse towards the woods after bowing his hands in greeting, until his gray-blue tall figure gradually disappeared.

The hunt was originally a rare time for him to see Xing Wenshu riding and shooting, but it was a pity that he had more important things to do this time, and Xing Wenshu had to be dismissed.

Xie Anshuang let out a breath, and said to Fuyuan, "Bring Gu's cloak."

"Yes." Fuyuan replied politely, and handed him the cloak prepared in advance by the servant after a while.

Xie Anshuang put the cloak casually on the horse's back, and asked, "Is Ye Shangshu here?"

Fuyuan replied: "Your Majesty, I am waiting outside."

Xie Anshuang nodded, and ordered: "Let him come to the tent to find me."

There is a special tent in the hunting ground for Xie Anshuang to rest in the middle.After he finished speaking, he dismounted again, handed Xiaobai to Fuyuan to lead him, turned around and went to the tent, and retreated all the servants, waiting for Ye Zihe to come.

Not long after, Ye Zihe who was called opened the tent door and came in: "Your Majesty."

And behind Ye Zihe, a man dressed as a hidden guard followed, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate has seen the emperor."

Xie Anshuang waved his hands: "Excuse me. Once you enter this tent, you don't need to follow those courtesies."

"Thank you, my lord." The dark guard changed his address graciously, got up and stood up straight.

Xie Anshuang walked up to him, walked around him, and asked Ye Zihe again: "Brother Zihe, is he the best skill among the hidden guards you trained?"

"Don't worry Xiao'an, he is also the one who follows me the most on weekdays." Ye Zihe smiled, "If it wasn't for him, I, a treacherous official, would have died thousands of times already."

Ye Zihe was in poor health when he was young, missed the best time to practice martial arts, and knew nothing about martial arts.In order to prevent his treacherous minister from acting too successfully and assassinating every three days like himself, Xie Anshuang specially gave him the venue and funds to train dark guards.

At that time, Xie Anshuang did not expect that Ye Zihe was very talented in cultivating hidden guards. In just over two years, he had already organized well, and now he has at least five of the most elite dark guards in the capital. This has also become Xie Anshuang. The largest underground source of intelligence.

Xie Anshuang was very satisfied with Ye Zihe's answer, and asked the hidden guard, "What's your name?"

"My lord, my subordinate's name is Zhuyi." Zhuyi cupped his hands and replied very respectfully.

Xie Anshuang nodded, and asked with great interest: "Can you outrun the Imperial Forest Army?"

Zhu Yi replied: "Report to the Lord, there is no problem."

Only then did Xie Anshuang feel relieved, and asked him with a smile, "Did your master tell you what your mission is?"

"This..." Zhu Yi glanced at the leaves and the direction, obviously not knowing how to answer.

Ye Zihe received his gaze, turned to Xie Anshuang and said helplessly: "I haven't told him yet. If such a mission was mentioned in advance, I'm afraid he won't come. After all, my hidden guard is not brave enough yet." Dare to assassinate their master."

Zhu Yi on the side was stunned when he heard his words: "... eh? Assassinate the Lord?"

Xie Anshuang smiled and patted Zhu Yi's shoulder: "Yes, your mission is to assassinate me."

Zhu Yi was about to kneel immediately, but was grabbed by Xie Anshuang, and continued: "Don't rush to kneel, listen to me."

"...Yes." Zhu Yi hesitated for a while, and finally stood up again.

Xie Anshuang looked satisfied, and said, "Before you assassinate me, I need you to pay attention to the private contacts of several officials with others, secretly capture the assassin they sent, and then replace him in the assassination."

Only then did Zhu Yi understand what he meant, and asked again: "What if they have never had contact with the assassin?"

"No." Xie An smirked, "The hunting grounds are tightly guarded, and they will definitely understand the defenses in advance today, and then inform the assassins they sent. The assassination of the masked man failed last time, and the guards in the palace have been strengthened. It's a great opportunity they can't pass up."

Speaking of this, he added: "At that time, you will assassinate the assassin, and you can remember your head better. If it is too far, it will be easy for you to make mistakes. I will dodge myself, at most, there will be a slight scratch, and I will not care about you."

"Then you pretend to be caught by the Royal Forest Army and confess when I ask you."

Zhu Yi understood what Xie Anshuang meant, and after listening to him talk about the officials who were the most concerned officials, he didn't delay any longer, and hid himself in the woods to observe.

After Zhu Yi left, Ye Zi and his expression were tinged with worry: "Xiao An, will it be too dangerous for you to do this? Although I also trust Zhu Yi, but swords have no eyes, what if..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Anshuang interrupted him with a chuckle: "Don't worry, brother and son, I have a sense of propriety, and I won't let anything happen to me."

"After all, my life is for Xing Wenshu."
