Chapter 126 Hunting in the Great Wall
The next morning, Gu Changxiao woke up first, and the morning light shining through the window gap just happened to shine on his face.
He frowned and was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and raised his hand to block the light, because the light would shine on the face of Taoist Xiao Ji beside him in the next moment.
Taoist Xiao Ji might have felt that the clothes he was using as a pillow were uncomfortable, so his neck rubbed against the clothes a few times in the middle of the night, and he moved around to find a comfortable position in his sleep.
Finally, she rested her forehead on Gu Changxiao's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Changxiao, who was lying on the pillow, was unable to fall asleep because he smelled a faint fragrance instead of the smell of barren apples.
Now when he moved his eyes again, he saw the profile of Taoist Master Xiao Ji.
Little Jidao's earlobes were as plump as jade beads, and her eyelashes were so long, casting two fan-like shadows on her face.
Taoist Xiao Ji also has a small nose, and his nose wings move slightly from time to time in his sleep. Lips...
Gu Changxiao's Adam's apple rolled and he suddenly closed his eyes, not daring to look at those rose-like lips.
He had never slept in the same bed with anyone, no matter if it was a man or a woman. The first time he slept in such close proximity with someone was with Taoist Xiao Ji under a straw hut by the sea.
But at that time, there were many soldiers sleeping around them, snoring was everywhere, and the sound of waves was endless. Both of them were very tired and had no other feelings at all.
But now it is completely different. The surroundings are so quiet that even the chirping of insects seems far away, and one can almost hear Taoist Xiao Ji's breathing and heartbeat.
He was so close to him.
His hands were casually placed on his waist, and his restless calves moved around from time to time, kicking his own legs.
His head rested on his shoulder...
Gu Changxiao despised himself more and more, his body was stiff, and he didn't even dare to move his fingers, for fear of doing something out of line and being disrespectful to Taoist Xiao Ji.
But when a strand of Taoist priest Xiao Ji's hair fell into his hand, he broke out in sweat and felt as if he was being burned by fire, as if he was in great torture.
During this torturous night, he didn't even know when he fell asleep.
After being awakened by the sunlight, his first reaction was to block the sunlight for Taoist Xiao Ji. He was too tired yesterday and needed to sleep a little longer.
But when a ray of light shone on Taoist Xiao Ji's face, his skin looked as white as jade. Perhaps he was uncomfortable with the light, so he moved forward again and nestled directly onto Gu Changxiao's neck.
At that moment, Gu Changxiao felt that it was more tormenting than facing thousands of troops alone.
He slowly stretched out his hand, trying to move Taoist Xiao Ji closer, but his fingers accidentally touched Taoist Xiao Ji's cheek.
Just then, he heard a slight sound coming from outside the window. Gu Changxiao reacted very quickly, pulled out the dagger under the pillow, and shot it out of the window with a whoosh.
Yan Shier Niang, who was peeking out of the window, was hugged by Han Xing. She turned around suddenly, and the dagger brushed Han Xing's shoulder, flew out from in front of Yan Shier Niang and nailed to the ground.
Yan Shier Niang was so angry that she was about to scream, but Han Xing covered her mouth and dragged her away.
"Miss Yan, it's already rude of you to spy on the prince, and now Lord Gu has discovered us. We'd better leave quickly and don't wake the prince up."
Yan Shier Niang pulled Han Xing and said angrily: "Did you see that? I said that the one with the surname Gu is a vixen!"
"How dare he climb into the prince's bed? And dare he touch the prince!"
Han Xing was in a dilemma: "It is very common for men to sleep with their feet touching each other in a large bunk bed in the military camp. Lord Gu needs to protect the prince closely, and the conditions are difficult right now, so it is normal for him to sleep on one bed!"
Yan Shierniang was so angry that she almost jumped up: "Your height is normal! It's normal for you, the big black guy and the prince to sleep together..."
Han Xing interrupted her hurriedly: "We haven't slept together, don't talk nonsense."
Yan Twelve Niang found a loophole: "Ha, this is indeed abnormal! Don't try to deceive me, my second brother told me that this is called Longyang's love, and that person surnamed Gu is seducing the prince!"
For the first time, Han Xing said to Yan Twelve Niang Hong Wen: "Miss Yan, please keep your voice down! You are a girl, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by a good relationship between a man and a woman? Sir Gu is a man of nine feet tall, how could he do something to seduce others?"
He warned, "Master Gu is a very skilled martial artist. If he really wants to investigate, I won't be his match."
Yan Shier Niang said with contempt: "You are all afraid of him! You are the people the prince trusts the most. If a villain like this approaches the prince, you should work together to drive him away!"
Han Xing saw that the more he talked, the more trouble he was going to have, so he could only say, "When the prince gets up, we should go hunting. Doesn't Miss Yan need to prepare in advance?"
Yan Twelve Niang stopped arguing. She just wanted to take a peek to see if Gu Changxiao was really bold enough to sleep in the same bed with the prince.
It turned out that this man was even bolder than she thought! He actually dared to touch the prince's face! And he looked at the prince with such disgusting eyes!
Today at the hunting ground, I must find a way to drive him away from the prince!
Han Xing was feeling extremely helpless, but luckily he noticed Yan Shier Niang's actions and followed her quietly, otherwise this incident would have definitely become a big deal today.
This girl is really generous! However, you know that there is no chance of anything happening between you and the prince, so why do you still care so much about the prince's private affairs?
Not to mention that the prince and Lord Gu are innocent, even if they really have an affair, what does it have to do with you?
Inside the room, Jin Sui woke up in shock the moment the dagger shot out: "What happened? An assassin?"
Gu Changxiao glanced out the window and said softly, "It's okay, two little bugs almost flew in."
Jin Sui breathed a sigh of relief and fell back onto the bed, only to find that his rolled-up pillow was in a mess and the quilt was also rolled into a ball.
He smiled at Gu Changxiao apologetically: "Didn't you sleep well last night? I don't sleep well, so you should move the small couch in early tonight."
Gu Changxiao was afraid that his little secret would be discovered by others, so he hurriedly shook his head and said, "I slept soundly last night, and Brother Ji did not disturb me."
Jin Sui jumped up from the bed and said sincerely: "As a prince, your character and personality are really impeccable!"
Gu Changxiao deliberately said: "Back when we were with the bandits, I almost cut off your leg in order to escape. Don't you blame me?"
Jin Sui said with a chuckle, "That was a while ago. We weren't close at that time. Under those circumstances, you didn't try to kill me and escape. You were a good person."
She said this half sincerely, and the other half was naturally to please the big boss. Last night she tried to please the God of Wealth, and today she tried to please the big boss. I am a good worker, right? Because she got up in a hurry, she didn't have time to go into the space to wash up. If she went in and out again, Gu Changxiao would definitely notice something, so she had to use a willow branch dipped in green salt to brush her teeth.
When she entered the bathroom, she still went into the space, washed up and changed her underwear.
When I came out, I heard Han Xing say that the Yan family had already prepared the meal, and Miss Yan was waiting for the prince to come over and eat together.
Jin Sui smiled and said, "It seems we can let Miss Yan stay for a long time, so we don't have to worry about meals."
Unexpectedly, Han Xing and Gu Changxiao said in unison: "No!"
Jin Sui looked around in surprise, wondering how these two could be so united? Shi Er Niang, what did you do?
While having breakfast, Jinsui saw as he wished. Twelve Niang glared at Gu Changxiao with even bigger eyes, and occasionally glared at Han Xing.
Gu Changxiao did not make himself unhappy. He ran to the cafeteria to have breakfast and did not touch anything prepared by the Yan family.
But he deliberately reminded: "My Lord, be careful of poison."
Yan Twelve Niang was so angry that she ate a bite of every dish herself: "You actually suspected that I would harm the prince!"
Gu Changxiao said in a tone that showed he had no intention of arguing with a fool: "Your Majesty, you'd better wait a while until Miss Yan is not poisoned before eating."
Yan Shier Niang was so angry that she fell backwards. If she could beat him, she really wanted to teach this guy named Gu a lesson herself.
Jin Sui tried to smooth things over: "Don't be angry, Miss Yan. Lord Gu was just being cautious. You know, I have offended many people."
As Gu Changxiao walked away, Yan Shier Niang said in a wronged tone: "Your Highness, when we go hunting in the borderland, can you please not bring him with you? I get annoyed when I see him."
Jin Sui was very puzzled. Why did these two people dislike each other more and more after one night?
This won't do! Even if we can't make them like each other today, we have to clear up the misunderstanding.
"Master Gu is a good archer. With him, we can find more things. Red suits Miss Yan very well. If we can kill a few fire foxes today, we can make a fire fox fur cloak for Miss Yan."
Only then did Yan Twelve Niang calm down. Hunting is a physical job. Jinsui ate a lot for breakfast and asked Baozhu to pack up some snacks.
This was the prince’s first hunting trip, and the Black Feather Camp was very important. Han Xing sent people to the border area to clear the area early in the morning and drive away some large wild beasts.
The most important thing is to check if there are any enemy ambushes. Han Xing remembered Qing Feng’s ambush in the woods before.
Except for Baozhu who sat in the carriage with picnic utensils, everyone else rode horses.
Jin Sui whispered to Gu Chang Xiao, "There has been no movement from Zheng Yun, and there has been no news from Huo Zian either. If they want to take action, my trip out of the border this time is the best opportunity."
Gu Changxiao shook his head: "They dare not go out of the border to attack the King of Li. I guess the imperial envoy is too timid. He must find out the situation of the border town before he dares to leave."
Jin Sui snorted, "If all the officials in the imperial court are like this, Chang'an will be ruined by them sooner or later."
Gu Changxiao chuckled: "So, now I just want to manage the border town well and guard the border."
"Don't you want to go back to Chang'an for revenge?"
Gu Changxiao looked ahead and replied quietly, "That's for the future."
Jinsui didn't ask any more questions. What happened in the future had nothing to do with her. From now on, she would be Ling Jinsui, a wealthy woman who lived with her grandfather and her younger brother.
But she still reminded Gu Changxiao: "In this case, you should get more help from the Yan family. If you can marry Miss Yan, it will be even more powerful!"
Gu Changxiao suddenly looked at her with a very strange look, which frightened Jin Sui: "What are you doing? I'm telling the truth."
"Brother Ji, aren't you reluctant to let Miss Yan marry someone else?"
Jin Sui reacted and said speechlessly: "Are you saying that I want to cheat on you? You are mentally ill!"
I don't want Twelve Lady to marry someone else, so why do I want her to marry you, and then I can see her every day from a close distance? Gu Changxiao thought of his secret feelings for Taoist Xiao Ji. You are right, there is indeed something wrong with my heart.
At this time, Yan Shier Niang, who had been chatting in a low voice, rode her horse between the two of them. She looked heroic in her fiery red riding clothes.
It was a beautiful landscape on the early autumn wasteland. She held a whip with a red string and said with a smile, "My Lord, would you like to race with Twelve Lady?"
Jin Sui smiled and said, "Okay! Come on, let's compete together, Han Xing, Hei Hu, and Brother Gu."
Han Xing silently retreated to the guard team: "Your Majesty, I have to take care of the team, it is not appropriate."
As for Black Tiger, where is Black Tiger? Yes, he is talking to the white girl through the window, and from time to time he flies to pick a wild flower, making the little girl laugh.
This guy was wearing the bright red new clothes that Han Xing bought for him today. He was galloping on the grassland like a giant butterfly. It was really unbearable to watch! Only Gu Changxiao was left. He did not refuse and was the first to set off with a "go".
Yan Twelve Niang yelled angrily: "You haven't even called the start yet!"
Jin Sui said hurriedly: "He is not good at riding, let's let him go."
The three of them rode their horses at full speed, with the Black Feather Camp guards and the Yan family guards chasing closely behind. Only Hei Hu was left guarding the carriage, and he and Miss Bai were walking slowly.
When running, the person on the horse feels like flying in the wind and the whole person is free.
The more they ran, the more excited they became. Sometimes the three of them ran side by side, sometimes they chased each other, and they galloped across the grassland with laughter.
When a hare ran in front of the three people, Yan Shier Niang and Gu Changxiao drew their arrows together, and Jin Sui also pulled the bow in an imitative manner.
Unfortunately, her horseback archery skills were not up to par, and the arrow she shot was ten feet away from the rabbit.
Gu Changxiao shot an arrow at the rabbit's neck, but then another arrow hit the rabbit's belly.
Yan Twelve Niang raised her chin proudly: "This is the only one you hunted."
Gu Changxiao still had an expression that showed he didn't want to pay attention to her: "I'll let you do it."
Yan Shierniang was so angry that she really wanted to shoot the guy named Gu with an arrow. Fortunately, Jin Sui stopped her quickly:
"I heard that the first person to hunt prey has good luck, Miss Yan, Brother Gu is giving you the good luck!"
Gu Changxiao didn't comment, but Yan Shierniang refused to give up. This man obviously looked down on her archery skills! She immediately asked, "Mr. Gu, would you like to compete with me to see who can hunt more prey?"
Jin Sui thought Gu Chang Xiao would ignore her, but unexpectedly Gu Chang Xiao asked: "If we are competing, there must be a prize. What do you want to compete for?"
Yan Shier Niang glanced at Jin Sui, raised her chin and said, "If you lose, you can no longer be the prince's personal guard, and you can no longer live in the same room with the prince."
Gu Changxiao nodded: "Okay! Similarly, if you lose, you can't meet the prince privately in the future."
"Okay! Let's start right away!"
Jin Sui watched the two of them walk away together, dismounted speechlessly and sat on the ground, pulling up a weed and drinking the sweet water from the root. What good was it to not be able to meet a "eunuch" like me? But the good news was that her plan was half successful, and the two of them were alone together!
