31, jade pendant(1/3)
The next day, the hunt officially begins.
Because the person with the most honorable status is Mu Zhan, generally speaking, he should say a few words about the scene. His character, is impatient with these, so he will not talk nonsense and directly announce the start.
Hunting is of a competitive nature, so of course you cannot lose the prize.
Next to are displayed the prizes for winning , all of which are treasures. The more difficult the prey, the better the prizes.
For aristocratic ministers, the prize is not necessarily the most important, but the most important thing is to get the emperor's favor in the hunting ground.
Wen Mingyu got on his horse and could feel the hidden sights coming from all directions. Ever since the palace banquet, now in public, it would be like this, and he was somewhat used to it.
This time, an acquaintance is here.
Wei Yingwu was tall and tall, and his voice was as loud as ever. Even if he saw someone, he would always know that he was there.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"Is it appropriate to say this to a man?"
"What...oh, you mean that, hahahahaha. Anyway, I must be better than you!"
Wei Yingwu was still laughing, but his voice stopped when he said no, and it stopped suddenly, giving him the feeling of a duck being pinched by the neck.
Wen Mingyu looked over and found that next to Wei Yingwu was a thin young man with a handsome appearance and gentle manner. Although his face was a bit sickly white, his back was straight and he had an indescribable temperament.
Wei Yingwu suddenly fell silent just now, as if he was suppressed by the man's flirtatious glance.
Wei Yingwu was a general, and he immediately noticed Wen Mingyu's gaze, looked over, and said something to the people next to him, and both of them came over on horseback.
After introduction, Wen Mingyu and Wen Changlan got to know each other.
Wen Mingyu knew that Wen Changlan was Wei Yingwu's cousin. Listening to their conversation, he discovered that Wen Changlan's body seemed to be unhealthy.
Wei Yingwu was very nervous. He was obviously very worried about his brother and worried about him personally. However, Wen Changlan frowned and chased him away. He said with disgust: "You are too noisy and make too much noise. I will tell you."
All the prey has been scared away by you."
Wei Yingwu was dissatisfied and howled like a husky. If you quarrel, you don't have to be reasonable. If your voice is loud and powerful, you will win, "You are too annoying!"
In the end, Wei Yingwu was kicked out of the group chat. When he entered the hunting ground, he was alone, and his tall back showed the sadness and resentment of being abandoned.
Wen Mingyu couldn't help but want to laugh.
In the next few days, Wen Mingyu was hunting, and his level gradually improved in practice. Most of the time, he was with Mu Zhan, and sometimes with Wei Yingwu and Wen Changlan.
Cooperate to hunt big game.
Another day.
Everyone entered the hunting ground, some went into the dense forest, some rode towards the grassland, and divided into several groups.
Mu Zhan wanted to hunt down a big guy to get a good start, so he didn't have Wen Mingyu stay with him for the time being.
When he entered the forest, Wen Changlan was not far from Wen Mingyu, and he wanted to go hunting together. In fact, when Wen Changlan refused to go with Wei Yingwu on the first day of the night, he had a faint feeling that Wen Changlan
Lan seemed to have something to say, so he said it alone.
However, when they met, they just talked about hunting and nothing else. Wen Mingyu thought that she was too sensitive.
At this time, another person came to Wen Mingyu on horseback. He smiled and spoke very familiarly, as if he had a good relationship with Wen Mingyu. In fact, Wen Mingyu had only been there four times.
meet him.
The man's name is Chi Bibai. He always likes to laugh and is very willing to make friends. The first two times, we just bumped into each other by chance during hunting and said hello. Yesterday, when Mu Zhan was away, he took the initiative to join in and help.
I heard that Ming Yu was hunting.
Wen Mingyu was confused as to why he was here. Was it because of Mu Zhan? He had good connections and took the opportunity to test it out. He was not stupid, although every time he attended some event, many nobles would take the initiative to make friends.
During the conversation, she seemed to respect him, but actually she just wanted to get information from him to see if it was worth using.
In this era, there are clear classes, family background, power, and wealth, and it is difficult to stand up without these. Those aristocrats from aristocratic families are always aloof, have their own circle, and do not allow others to squeeze in.
The man came over with a smile, Wen Mingyu couldn't ignore it directly, so he could only add a few words, turned around and chatted with Wen Changlan again, hoping that Chi Bibai would understand and leave on his own.
"Is this Military Advisor Wen? I heard that we were able to win the battle this time, thanks to Mr. Wen's strategizing and resourcefulness, just like Mr. Wolong was alive."
Wen Changlan smiled modestly and rejected the compliment. Wen Mingyu found that his smile was not as bright as his eyes. Thinking about it more carefully, it seemed that Wen Changlan's words changed after Chi Bibai came.
Do you feel like you don’t like the other person?
Wen Mingyu couldn't help but turn around and look at Chi Bibai. He was dressed in white and had an average appearance. However, his face was thin and his cheekbones were high, giving him a mean look.
Both Wen Changlan and Wen Changlan have the appearance of a scholar, but when they are put up, they appear to be high and low. Chi Bibai is like a copycat version, and the more he looks at it, the more contrary he becomes.
When Chi Bibai saw Mingyu looking at him, his smile deepened and he was very enthusiastic. From the topic of hunting, he talked about the ferocious tigers that the Holy One once hunted, and how brave the Holy One once led his troops in battle.
Invincible, killed tens of thousands of enemy troops, how to torture prisoners, etc.
It was normal before, but as he listened, Wen Mingyu felt that it was almost as if Mu Zhan described it as an evil Shura ghost in hell, only killing cruelly and looking down upon human life.
Is it intentional?
For what? To make him fear Mu Zhan?
At some point, Wen Changlan rode away, as if he had specially made space for the two of them to chat in detail.
Wen Mingyu walked on horseback towards the dense forest. He listened carefully to the movements around him and found the sound of an animal running through the grass on the left side. He decisively turned around and drew his bow to shoot an arrow. However, the prey reacted very quickly.
The arrow just grazed and hurt the flesh. It burrowed into the bushes, disappeared, and fled like flying.
Wen Mingyu took another arrow and shot it one more time. Chi Bibai opened his mouth and shot him.
"You didn't have the chance to learn archery before. Now that you can do it, it's already pretty good."
Wen Mingyu: "..."
Is it his illusion? Why does it feel a little strange?
It didn't take long for Wen Mingyu to realize that this was not what he thought at all, and Chi Bibai slowly revealed his intention.
"Although there are rumors outside about how you flatter and cling to the monarch, I don't believe it. I think you are very good when I see you. I know very well that the emperor's temper... is somewhat ups and downs, sometimes.
It may hurt you, but you are just pretending to protect yourself. You will definitely have a hard time in the palace."
Wen Mingyu couldn't help but glance at Chi Bibai subtly, as if he was looking at a rare animal. He didn't speak, so Chi Bibai thought he didn't believe in himself, so he continued to persuade, his mouth like a permanent
Motive: "I can understand you very well. If you have any difficulties and you don't mind, tell me as a friend and I will do my best to help you."
"For example, leaving the palace..."
His voice was very low when he said this, so only the two of them could hear it.
Wen Mingyu finally did not ignore it, but suddenly turned his head and looked over, as if he was moved by what he said.
A trace of secret joy flashed across Chi Bibai's face, feeling that his plan would succeed.
Wen Mingyu asked: "If you help me, won't you get into trouble? If the Holy Emperor is furious, what will you do?"
Chi Bibai: "I have some connections in the capital. I can arrange a house and money for you. You don't have to worry. Moreover, I have known the Holy Lord since I was a child. Even if I am discovered, I will have a solution."
Hearing him say that he had known Mu Zhan for a long time, Wen Mingyu felt a subtle sense of discomfort and frowned slightly, "The capital? It's right at the feet of the emperor. It's not easy to be discovered."
Chi Bibai: "It's dark under the lamp, but it's safer right under their noses. They must have thought that you had escaped from the city, so they went out to hunt you. It would be safer to return to the city after the storm has passed."
What he said was so thoughtful and considerate that he was like a holy father who couldn't bear to see people suffering and selflessly saved them from the pit of fire.
This Holy Father is not a compliment.
Because Wen Mingyu didn't believe him at all.
Wen Mingyu really wanted to run away, but when he saw an opportunity, he would pounce forward stupidly. He seemed so in line with people's wishes, how could he know that this was not a trap?
Moreover, listening to these words on the road, Wen Mingyu always felt like it smelled like green tea, and I really didn’t know what to say.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then a bad idea came to his mind.
Wen Mingyu frowned sadly, as if in pain, and let out a long sigh, "I really didn't have a good life in the palace."
Chi Bibai's eyes lit up and he quickly acted like he was listening patiently.
"You don't know, I have a very hard life. Every day, I have to accompany the Holy Father to eat with him. I eat all kinds of delicacies and delicacies, and I almost vomit..."
Chi Bibai nodded sympathetically, then his eyes widened... Wait, what are you talking about???
However, Wen Mingyu seemed unable to see his changed expression and continued to pour out his bitter words.
"I just want to eat some porridge and side dishes, but why is it so difficult? Besides, do you know what I eat with?"
Chi Bibai had a bad feeling and didn't want to hear it.
"Purple-glazed bowl with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns. It was obviously used by the Holy One, but he insisted on letting me use it. The house is also filled with treasures from the treasure house, all of which are priceless. I'm worried."
Be careful if you break it, the Holy Spirit said it doesn't matter if it is broken, I am willing to use the honor of those treasures, and directly smashed a gilt cup, and asked me to break a mutton-fat white jade pendant, but I won't smash it.
He got angry and started arguing. I didn't notice that several vases were broken. He even joked that the sound of the smashing was nice, but it was too much."
Chi Bibai gritted his teeth: "..." Damn, I miss you so much.
Wen Mingyu continued to use magic to defeat magic, becoming a master of Versailles pretense, "You said that the Holy Father has a bad temper? I think you are mistaken. His patience is simply terrifying. He gives me lessons every day.
He taught me horse riding and archery in person, who likes to take lessons? I just want to play, it’s so annoying.”
"Your archery skills...were taught by the Holy One?" Chi Bibai was like a duck being strangled by the neck, and his face was greener than his name.
