Chapter 124 She has plenty of strength and means

"Brother, go on."

Yu Minyan planned to team up with Xue Wuji and threw the bow and arrows he had received at him.

Xue Wuji was tall and straight. He raised his arm and easily caught the arrow in mid-air.

"General Xue is so powerful!"

At this time, Lan Luo walked up to Xue Wuji, his eyes full of admiration, "General Xue, my fourth sister and I are new to your country and are not familiar with Longshou Mountain. Could you and General Yu take us around the mountain?"

After saying this, without giving Xue Wuji a chance to regret, he added, "My fourth sister and I can ride horses and shoot arrows. We promise not to cause any trouble to the two generals. OK?"

She has a round face, round eyes, and a slightly pouty cherry mouth. She looks harmless and can easily arouse a man's desire to protect her.

Murong Che had just specifically instructed the military and civil officials to do their best to help the two princesses.

Lan Luo lowered her attitude so much that Xue Wuji had no way to refuse her for a while.

After Xue Youli accompanied Murong Che to select the horses and bows needed for hunting, she happened to see Lan Luo wanting to team up with her eldest brother.

[This Seventh Princess Lan Luo looks innocent, but in fact she is a ruthless character who pretends to be a pig to eat the tiger. We can't let her harm my eldest brother! ]

As she thought about it, she turned to the man beside her and said, "Your Majesty, I saw my elder brother and would like to go over and say hello to him. Is that ok?"

Murong Che knew that Xue Youli wanted to help Xue Wuji break his bad karma, "Go ahead."

Xue Wuji was a strategic and courageous general among the younger generation, so he naturally could not let the Princess of Nanzhao get close to him.

So Xue Youli walked towards them, "Brother!"

Xue Wuji was struggling with how to politely reject the Princess of Nanzhao without damaging the relationship between the two countries. When he heard his sister's voice, his handsome eyes brightened.

He raised his head and looked at the girl walking towards him with joy.

The newcomer had bright features, long hair tied into a high ponytail, and was dressed in a crescent-shaped white suit, looking heroic.

When Xue Wuji's eyes met Xue Youli's, he immediately bowed and saluted, "I am here to see Madam Xue!"

Yu Minyan beside him also bowed, "This humble general pays respect to Madam Xue!"

"Brother, General Yu, please don't be so polite. I am not good at riding a horse. I would like to ask you for advice. Can you teach me?"

Lan Zheng saw that Xue Youli wanted to snatch away the person she and her seventh sister liked as soon as she opened her mouth, and her face immediately fell in displeasure, "Madam Xue, my sister and I were ready to team up with the two generals to go into the mountains. You suddenly come over and snatch someone from us. Isn't that too rude?"

Lan Luo also helped out, "Yes, Madam Xue, Jiuzhou is known as a country of etiquette. Is this how you entertain guests from afar?"

They had heard of Xue Youli before they came and knew that she was the most beloved concubine of the Emperor of Jiuzhou.

At this moment, facing off against Xue Youli immediately aroused their desire to win.

What they were fighting for was not only two teammates, but also the face of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Xue Youli listened to their aggressive tone, turned his head and shouted to the civil and military officials who were selecting bows and horses, "Everyone, the princess of Nanzhao has not found a teammate yet. As good men of Jiuzhou, how can you ignore such a beautiful woman?"

The person closest to them is Song Jingpeng, who is Song Jingsi's second brother and was previously a bastard of the Song family.

Since Song Jingqian was exiled for cheating in the palace examination, Taifu Song adopted him into the family of Song Jingsi's mother.

He could tell at the welcoming banquet just now that the emperor didn't like the Princess of Nanzhao. If he stepped forward at this time, it would be considered as helping the emperor to share his worries and solve his problems, right?

Thinking about it, Song Jingpeng responded loudly, "Madam Xue is absolutely right. I am willing to take the princess to Longshou Mountain."

Several other people nearby also stopped and said, "We are also willing to lead the princess into Longshou Mountain."

Xue Youli smiled slightly, turned to Lan Luo and Lan Zheng and said, "Princesses, these are the best men in Jiuzhou. You can choose the one who suits you to accompany you into the mountains."

After that, without waiting for the two of them to reply, Xue Youli pulled Xue Wuji away, "Brother, I have a lot to talk to you about! General Yu, during this period of time, you and my brother have been stationed in the southern border, you also come over and help me listen to whether my brother has lied to me."

"Me?" Yu Minyan was stunned for a moment, then followed up readily, "Okay, I will tell you everything I know!"

Only after Xue Youli pulled Xue Wuzhi to a place with fewer people did she let go of Xue Wuzhi's arm.

Xue Wuji took two steps back and bowed again, "Madam Xue, if you have anything to ask, I will answer it with all my heart."

Xue Youli inherited the original owner's memory. In her impression, her eldest brother looked very similar to her second brother, and there was not much change, except that the sunlight in the south was stronger, which made him a lot darker.

Compared to his second brother Xue Wuyang's cold and pale complexion, Xue Wuzhi's complexion is a healthy wheat color, his facial features are more stern and profound, his posture is as straight as a pine tree, and he has a particularly tough temperament.

"Brother, there are no outsiders here, so we should not be so distant with each other, right? You don't even know that during the half year you were in the South Territory, mother was so worried about you that she couldn't eat or sleep well whenever she mentioned you."

In her memory, Xue Wuji doted on the original owner very much, but now that they met, their communication seemed too distant.

Hearing her mention her mother, Xue Wuji's eyes showed a trace of apology, "I am unfilial and made mother worry. How about my sister? Is she doing well after entering the palace?"

My father is inflexible in the officialdom, and I'm afraid he won't get promoted in this life. Although my second brother got the third place in the imperial examination, he was almost accused of cheating. He is far away in the south, and my sister is in the harem. Not only does she have to fight alone, but she also has to worry about her family. It's really not easy.

Xue Youli raised the corner of her mouth, "Don't worry, brother, everything is fine in the harem."

She is not some lady from a noble family who never leaves her house. She has strength and means.

When Xue Wuji returned home a few days ago, his parents told him about her and Xue Qingyao.

However, it is really incredible that Xue Qingyao went from being a concubine's daughter of the Xue family to the daughter of the prefect of Lingzhou.

Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Ruyun knew very little about the matter and did not explain it very clearly, so Xue Wuji was confused.

At this time, when he saw his sister, he of course asked about Xue Qingyao first, "Sister, why did Xue Qingyao become the most talented woman in Lingzhou? And entered the emperor's harem? Did she make things difficult for you in the palace?"

Xue Youli briefly told him about Xue Qingyao's situation, "Don't worry, big brother. She was demoted from a noble to a beauty, and I was promoted from a beauty to a concubine. You should be able to see that your sister has some skills."

Xue Wuji looked at her confident and bright almond eyes, and couldn't help showing a relieved expression, "Then Big Brother will be relieved. Now that Nanzhao has been defeated and asked for peace, I will not leave the capital in the short term. If you need me in any way, remember to contact me."

His father was already old and his second brother was far away from the capital, so it was up to him, the eldest brother, to help his sister in the previous dynasty.

"Okay!" Xue Youli felt warm in his heart after listening to his words. "By the way, big brother, after you and General Yu enter the hunting ground, if you find anyone suspicious, you must capture him alive."

Xue Tianji raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Didn't the emperor arrange for people to seal off Longshou Mountain early on for this autumn hunt? How come there are suspicious people in the hunting ground? Could it be..."

Longshou Mountain is a precipitous area with many overlapping peaks. If someone were hiding in the dense forests, even if more people were sent to search and seal off the mountain, they might not be found.

Xue Youli nodded. "Yes, I'm worried that someone deliberately hid in the mountains before they were closed, hoping to take advantage of the autumn hunt to attack me or others. Just in case, after entering the mountains, please pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people in the mountains."

Xue Wuji pondered for a moment and replied, "Don't worry, sister. I know what to do."

As expected of blood-related siblings, the two of them have a tacit understanding and chatting with each other is very easy.

With such a big brother protecting him, Xue Youli felt particularly at ease. "Thank you, big brother. But you have to be careful when you enter the hunting ground in the mountains. It's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Xue Wuji responded, "Okay."

After the brother and sister met, Lan Zheng and Lan Luo had already chosen their teammates and entered the hunting ground.

There were many people in the camp and Xue Youli was worried that there were ears on the other side of the wall, so she talked with Xue Wuji about a lot of strategies for dealing with emergencies.

Before leaving, she glanced at Yu Minyan and reminded Xue Wuji, "Brother, General Yu is your master. If you encounter a beast in there, you must protect General Yu!"
