For the next two months, He Yanzhi rested in the mansion to recuperate, basking in the sun all day long, eating and sleeping, and brought back the meat lost by drinking the bitter medicine.

After returning from the temple, Liu Ci stayed in another courtyard. After helping He Yanzhi take off the bandage, he warned him to pay attention to his left arm so that he would not suffer too serious injuries.

He Yanzhi couldn't bear the annoyance of the two people in his ears, so he gave Liu Ci the letter from Pingyao, and asked him to go back to his room alone to feel sad.

The sky was gray and rainy, and the dense water vapor made everything blurred.

When Xiao Hongyin entered the room, he saw He Yanzhi staring blankly out of the window, came to his side, put his arms around him and said, "It hurts again?"

He Yanzhi took advantage of the situation and put the weight on him: "It's a little bit, it's always a little uncomfortable when it rains."

This arm is the root of the disease.

With a dignified expression, Xiao Hongyin rubbed He Yanzhi carefully.

"When shall we leave?"

The location of this autumn hunting is scheduled to be in Feng'an Hunting Ground outside the city, He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin need to go to Buwei several days in advance.

"It's too early, don't rush, wait until the rain passes."

So the two waited for a few more days, and finally set off out of the city on a sunny day.

Liu Ci traveled with the two of them, originally He Yanzhi planned to go there on horseback, but Liu Ci didn't know how to ride a horse, so the three had to get a carriage.

The wheels ran over the wet land quickly, passing Jiyan Mountain, all the way to Feng'an hunting ground five miles away from the mountain.

After getting out of the carriage, the people arranged by the prince had already been waiting here, leading the three of them to rest for a while, and then pulled a few horses for them to choose.

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin got on their horses and looked back at Liu Ci.

"My lords, don't worry about me, I'm dizzy..." Liu Ci clasped his hands.

So the two of them didn't delay much, and the horse's belly kicked up dust for a hundred steps.

Feng'an hunting ground was built by the third monarch in the Dali calendar. It was only used a few years after it was built. Because the site was not big, there were not many prey, and the scenery was ordinary, it was almost forgotten by all the monarchs.

On the other hand, Yuanshan Hunting Ground occupies an area of ​​hundreds of miles, with plenty of prey and golden maples all over the mountain. It has become the first choice of the monarchs of all dynasties, and autumn hunting is held there almost every year.And Yuanshan is also the place where the late emperor died.

For this reason, He Sheng and He Yanzhi had some discussions and gave up Yuanshan Mountain and changed it to Feng'an Hunting Ground. Firstly, it was close to the capital, secondly, it could save some manpower and material resources, and thirdly, it was easier to implement the plan.

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin originally drove side by side, but when they came to the hunting forest, they looked at each other, and each turned their horses' heads and galloped around the hunting ground in left and right directions.

The flying hem of the clothes made a sound of hunting and breaking the wind.Behind them were special persons to place bids, and when He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin met for the last time, the scope of the autumn hunting had already been delineated.

"The two adults have worked hard, and the next thing will be left to the villain."

He Yanzhi watched them start setting up the hunting ground in an orderly manner, and looked at Xiao Hongyin curiously: "Shall we go in and have a look?"

"Let's talk about it later. This hunting ground has been abandoned for a long time. I'm afraid the road inside is not easy to walk."

Hearing what Xiao Hongyin said, He Yanzhi had no choice but to tighten the reins and go back with him.

"How many laps do you want to ride?" Xiao Hongyin asked.

"Forget it, I'm tired from riding a horse." If there's nothing new to watch, He Yanzhi doesn't bother to move, so he might as well go back and lie down earlier.

Xiao Hongyin knew his temperament, and he didn't go out much on weekdays, which was good for recuperating, but he was afraid that he would be bored to death.

"It's okay, I'll take you with me." So Xiao Hongyin suddenly controlled the horse to approach He Yanzhi, stretched out his long arms and swept the man straight to his horse.

"A Yin?"

He Yanzhi leaned his back against Xiao Hongyin's chest, and was hugged firmly in front of him. Immediately, Xiao Hongyin controlled the horse and ran quickly.

The steed galloped around the open grassland of the hunting ground, the hem of the horse's clothes rattled, and the raised black hair was entangled fiercely in the strong wind.

He Yanzhi had never tried such a fast speed before, and the oncoming wind hit his face and body, which made him feel as if he was flying in the air, and he couldn't help feeling refreshed.

"Quicker!"

"it is good."

The running horse neighed, and its hooves were like stepping on a hurricane.

He Yanzhi was excited and looked into the distance. At the junction of the green hills and the sky, the gorgeous sunset glow gradually increased, and the strange shape was like a dream.

The horse finally got tired of running, and began to slow down, and finally walked slowly on the grass.

He Yanzhi was still immersed in the excitement just now, Xiao Hongyin took advantage of his unpreparedness, bowed his head and secretly kissed him.

"Happy?"

"Well, it's not bad."

He Yanzhi leaned against Xiao Hongyin's arms, feeling the breeze on his face, and closed his eyes comfortably.

Xiao Hongyin controlled the horse and walked a few laps on the grass.

As soon as dusk passed, the sky darkened quickly.

Xingzi climbed out of the clouds, dotted in the black night sky and quietly looked at the two people on the grass.

He Yanzhi only remembered that the sky was still dim when he closed his eyes, but it was pitch black when he opened his eyes again. The only thing that remained unchanged was the warm body behind him.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at Xiao Hongyin's smooth and beautiful jawline: "Have you gone back?"

Xiao Hongyin looked at Hunting Forest: "Well, let's walk in."

When they came outside the forest, He Yanzhi was carried off the horse by Xiao Hongyin, and the two walked into the forest with their fingers clasped together.

Because it is a hunting place, the low roar of beasts can be heard from time to time in the deep forest at night.

The two of them walked through the forest in the dark without lighting a fire.

Xiao Hongyin carefully avoided the direction of the beast, and together with He Yanzhi looked for the figure of the person.

Not long after, there was a sound of digging in front, and He Yanzhi tugged Xiao Hongyin, motioning him to follow the sound.

In front of the faint flames, several men in black were digging a deep pit the size of one person. He Yanzhi and Xiao Hong approached quietly, watching them plunge the sharp blades into the bottom of the deep pit, and finally camouflaged the pit.

"It's thanks to He Yu that he can figure out such a low-level trick."

He Yanzhi communicated with Xiao Hongyin with his eyes, and the other party replied: "Not necessarily, the simpler the trap, the easier it is to succeed."

Seeing that those blades were still smeared with poison, He Yanzhi couldn't help shaking his head, then thought of a way, and whispered it into Xiao Hongyin's ear.

At the same time, after the men in black dug a hole, they went to dig the next one.

After hearing He Yanzhi's advice, Xiao Hongyin worriedly said: "Then you..."

He Yanzhi squeezed his hand: "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

After the man in black set up the trap, he looked around vigilantly, and then left the forest.After they left for a stick of incense, He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin leisurely returned to the resting place.

Liu Ci waited drowsily in the lobby, seeing that the two finally came back, she went up to ask them how they were doing.

He Yanzhi took a pen and paper, drew a topographic map of the hunting ground, circled a direction and pointed it out to Liu Ci.

"Tomorrow you pack up your things and wait here, then the princess will come to you."

Hearing this, Liu Ci's joy was beyond words, and He Yanzhi added: "When you arrive at Jiyan Mountain, don't rush out, be careful in everything."

Liu Ci nodded vigorously, took the topographic map and cupped his hands to the two of them: "You two are so kind, I will never forget it!"

After Liu Ci made an explanation here, she needed to notify Pingyao.

The next day the prince came to check the situation, He Yanzhi concealed some of the matters, told the prince the plan, and passed it on to Pingyao through his hand, and when everything was ready, the autumn hunt would officially kick off.

On that day, the mighty guard of honor passed through the capital from the imperial palace, causing the whole city to stop and watch.

He Yao sat on the golden sedan chair hung by Donghai Mingsha with his arms around Concubine Rou, and looked at the bustling capital city with a satisfied smile.

Behind the sedan chair was Pingyao's carriage, which was simple and compact, so it did not attract the attention of the common people.Pingyao was sitting in the carriage, constantly rehearsing the plan in her head, her deer eyes were full of determination for the future.

It took a full day for the guard of honor to arrive at the hunting ground, but all the officials were already waiting to welcome them.

He Yao looked at the time, ordered the sedan chair to not stop, and went straight to the palace. Today, I have the right to let all the lovers rest for a day.

The crown prince nodded in agreement, and the guard of honor left for the palace again.

"The Holy Majesty is not sure what he likes, so don't make any trouble at that time."

Liu Ci mixed in the crowd, and couldn't help but speak after the show ended.

Knowing that he was anxious, He Yanzhi comforted him: "Even if something goes wrong, we can only play by ear."

That's right, Liu Ci looked at He Yanzhi helplessly: "Master He really can't comfort people."

"Is there?" He Yanzhi turned his head to look at Xiao Hongyin, who smiled and said, "No, Yanzhi spoke very well."

He Yanzhi chuckled when he heard the words: "It's not as good as what A Yin said."

Liu Ci really couldn't stand the two of them, so he took a step ahead silently.

The next day, the autumn hunting officially began.

On the temporary high platform, He Yao was sitting in the center, Concubine Rou was sitting in his arms, and on the left and right were He Yu and He Sheng.

Rows of tables are set up on the left side in front of the high platform, which are the seats for officials, and opposite them are the seats for family members.

Pingyao sat at the head of the women's family, looked around the field from time to time, and finally saw He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin among a bunch of officials.

The crown prince routinely presided over the process of various matters, He Yao was not thinking about it, and responded to all requests for instructions, so it was fairly quick, and the hunt officially started in less than an hour.

The young and strong officials rode into the forest first, and the older ones sent their sons into the battle, firstly to let them show off the limelight, and secondly, to make friends with some aristocratic disciples.

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin deliberately dawdled for a while, and when they were almost gone, they led the horse and deliberately approached Wu Chong, who was alone, to talk to him.

"My son-in-law acts alone, but doesn't he look down on petty officials like us?"

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin rode horses on both sides of Wu Chong respectively. He dared to ask questions, but he didn't expect Wu Chong to answer him.

"Your Excellency is joking, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, so why talk about high and low."

With these words, He Yanzhi had a bottom line in his mind.

He understood that Wu Chong acted alone was not voluntary, but was excluded by other officials.

In terms of years of being an official, Wu Chong should have been with those young people, but if he really did this at his age, he would be out of tune with the vigorous young people.And even if he got close to He Yu now, he would not have any advantage among a group of veteran officials, so he had to be independent from the "earthly world".

He Yanzhi knew the loneliness in his heart, and also knew that He Yu never cared about the mood of his subordinates, so he deliberately came to deal with him.

"Since the son-in-law doesn't dislike the lower official, the lower official has the audacity to follow the son-in-law."

He Yanzhi noticed that there was prey passing by, so he took the bow and arrow and shot it, but found that it was only a pheasant, and then chatted with Wu Chong for a while.

He pretended to be envious and said: "The next official is lucky to meet the princess, such a beautiful woman, the son-in-law is really lucky."

Wu Chong didn't react too much when he heard this: "My lord said that it's just that men are born to serve the court, and children's personal affairs can't be disturbed."

Marrying the princess was just to get He Yu's support.

As Wu Chong spoke, he suddenly became emotional: "Wu has studied hard for many years, so that one day he can become an official in the court and do something for the court and the Dali. If he is burdened by his children's affair, Wu would rather be alone lifelong."

He Yanzhi joked: "It seems that the son-in-law values ​​official position more than anything else."

Wu Chong admitted frankly: "Not bad."
