Lu Hui smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, please... please sit down. What would you like to eat? If it's not available here, I'll go get it for you."
Dugu Yu looked at the group of people coldly without saying a word. Only Ling Jingxuan was still sitting by the fire, calmly turning the roasted rabbit in his hand.
Seeing Dugu Yu looking at him, Ling Jingxuan raised his head slightly and smiled at Dugu Yu, "Dugu Yu wants to eat rabbit?"
He held out the half-roasted rabbit in his hand and said, "Then I'll give it to you."
Dugu Yu ignored Ling Jingxuan, took a step forward, grabbed Lu Hui's sleeve, and lifted him away from the fire. Then he threw him away and looked at him coldly, saying, "The weather is nice today, and I'm itching to spar with you. Let's see if you've made any progress recently!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Hui to react, he kicked him in the face.
There were seven men in a circle. Except Ling Jingxuan who was not picked up and beaten by Dugu Yu, even Lu Qifeng was beaten to the ground.
He really felt that he was wronged, and he had always been fighting for the princess, but his words were powerless!
After Dugu Yu finished beating the enemy, he discovered that Ling Jingxuan was carrying a roasted rabbit and went to find Qin Qingyao...
Qin Qingyao looked at the golden rabbit in front of her, then looked at the smiling Ling Jingxuan, and then pointed at Lin Xiafeng who was surrounded by stars not far away, "She's over there!"
Lin Xiafeng, who had been paying attention to Ling Jingxuan's every move, clenched his fists instantly, wishing he could pour the hot soup in his hands on Qin Qingyao's face!
Do you think I'm a beggar? Who the hell wants what you give up?
Fortunately, Ling Jingxuan did not embarrass her. He did not take the rabbit that Qin Qingyao didn't want to give to Lin Xiafeng, but directly stuck the wooden stick for roasting rabbit on the ground not far from Qin Qingyao, so that she could reach it with just one hand.
Then he walked straight to Dugu Yu without even looking at Lin Xiafeng.
"They are no match for you. If you want to spar with someone, you should find an opponent of equal strength, right? Let me fight Dugu for a few moves."
The tense and confusing atmosphere made those who had just been beaten up by Dugu Yu forget the pain they were feeling.
They looked at Ling Jingxuan, then at Dugu Yu, then at Qin Qingyao and the rabbit. What was going on?
Dugu Yu really wanted to beat Ling Jingxuan. He claimed to be his brother, but he joined that group of bastards to gossip about his princess. He was talking nonsense and had dirty and vulgar thoughts in his head. Did they think he was dead?
You just deserve a beating!
Not to mention the group of men, Qin Qingyao was also shocked. Why were the two of them going to fight again? There was no such scene in the original novel!
She had already decided to bring Dugu Yu to Ling Jingxuan's side, so was it appropriate for her to fight with Ling Jingxuan? Wouldn't this only exacerbate conflicts and go against unity and cooperation?
Lin Xiafeng's thoughts were much purer than Qin Qingyao's. Her heart was full of resentment and disappointment. At first, she was disdainful of what Qin Qingyao had given up, and she felt nauseous and uncomfortable all over.
Later, she found out that Ling Jingxuan was unwilling to give her even the things Qin Qingyao had given up. It was like a bolt from the blue.
She had thrown all her bullshit grand plans out of her mind. All she could think about now was that Qin Qingyao had snatched Dugu Yu away and was also going to snatch Ling Jingxuan away...
Seeing the two men at loggerheads, Qin Qingyao suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, "Ouch, my husband, my stomach hurts!"
Dugu Yu, who had already started to use his internal energy, suddenly lost his courage. Ling Jingxuan's punch missed, and the person opposite him whooshed to Qin Qingyao's side.
"What's wrong? Why does your stomach hurt?"
Ling Jingxuan: “…”
Qin Qingyao frowned and shivered as she said, "I don't know, it just hurts so suddenly."
Dugu Yu picked up Qin Qingyao and got into his own carriage. Qin Qingyao was still holding her stomach and crying in the carriage.
Dugu Yu looked helpless, "Okay, stop pretending."
Qin Qingyao's cry of pain suddenly stopped. She looked at Dugu Yu with a flattering smile, "Hehe, when did you find out? Husband, you are truly wise and powerful!"
Dugu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, almost imperceptibly. Although he felt that this woman was ninety-nine percent pretending, he was also a little afraid that she was really sick.
"You really don't want me to fight with Prince Duan?" You even pretended to be sick. How could you come up with such a plan?
Qin Qingyao nodded, "Yeah, why are you fighting with him?"
He is the one gossiping about you behind your back!
Dugu Yu was really angry and aggrieved. No matter whether he wanted to help the prince before or wanted to help Prince Duan now, he felt that Qin Qingyao was biased!
He is always the one left aside. Who is her husband?
Dugu Yu remained silent, and Qin Qingyao came over and rubbed his neck, "Husband, are you angry?"
"Not angry!"
"Then why are you ignoring me?"
"I'm not ignoring you!"
"Then why don't you smile?"
"I don't want to laugh!"
"puff……"
Dugu Yu didn't want to laugh, but Qin Qingyao really couldn't help it. Although he knew it was not very kind of him to not be able to hold back his laughter, he really had no choice.
The more Dugu Yu acted like a child and threw tantrums in front of her, the more she couldn't help but want to tease him.
But seeing that he was really angry, Qin Qingyao couldn't bear it anymore.
After all, they are outside now, not at home, and the place is not convenient for her to perform. What if she really gets angry and can't be coaxed?
"Hubby, if we're talking about martial arts prowess, you and Prince Duan are completely evenly matched. There's no need to compete to prove anything. Even if you win, you'll only hurt yourself. I felt so bad when I applied the medicine to you!"
"So if he makes you unhappy, you can just outmaneuver him. Fighting and killing only hurts the relationship!"
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao who was winking at him, and he felt very complicated. This lunatic who said whatever he wanted, was he helping Ling Jingxuan out of trouble, or was he teaching him how to play tricks on Ling Jingxuan in the future?
Before he could decide whether he should believe that she was doing this for his own good and not to betray him, Qin Qingyao's stomach started to growl unceremoniously.
Qin Qingyao said with a bitter face, "Hubby, I'm hungry. I want to eat barbecue. Go and help me grill it."
Dugu Yu, "Humph, the food has already been handed to you, go eat it yourself!"
Qin Qingyao put her arms around Dugu Yu's neck and kissed him on the face. "No, I'll just eat what my husband bakes. Do you want to go?"
"I'd rather starve to death than go!"
Dugu Yu pulled Qin Qingyao off his body with great disgust, threw her back onto the soft cushion of the seat opposite with a lot of noise but no action, and then got off the carriage without looking back.
By the campfire, after being beaten by Dugu Yu, those people became much more honest. The prince’s private affairs were not something they could discuss casually!
Did he think that just because he went down to the river to fish or went up to the mountain to dig vegetables, he was no longer the King of Wuling? He was really courting death!
Seeing him coming, everyone quickly made room for him by the fire and greeted Dugu Yu with smiles on their faces.
Lu Qifeng consciously handed over the animal leg he had just tested, "Your Highness, please come and have dinner..."
"What is that?"
"It's the hind leg of a wild deer. It's all lean meat, chewy, juicy, and delicious!"
Dugu Yu, "No."
Lu Qifeng, “…”
The people around him looked at Lu Qifeng with contempt, saying, "You deserve to be embarrassed for flattering me."
Dugu Yu looked around and saw that everyone's food was almost cooked, and some had already cut off a few layers of meat and eaten them.
Then he took a fancy to the hare in Lu Hui's hand that had just been roasted dry and was not yet half-cooked. He pointed at it and said, "Give me that one."
Lu Hui gritted his teeth in anger. You were the first one to beat me up, and now you are trying to steal my rabbit. King Wu Ling, why are you targeting me?
However, he could only keep his anger in his heart and handed the rabbit to Dugu Yu in a very servile manner. Dugu Yu then sat down by the fire and began to grill it with full concentration.
Ling Jingxuan looked at the group of people who were trembling with fear when they saw Dugu Yu, and cursed them a hundred times in his heart, calling them a bunch of useless people!
He was more promising. Not only was he not afraid of Dugu Yu getting angry, he even dared to continue provoking him.
So as soon as Dugu Yu sat down, he began to ask Qin Qingyao about her well-being.
"Why didn't the princess come out? But your stomach still hurts? This prince knows a little bit about medicine. If it's serious, I can help take a look."
Dugu Yu said, "Thank you Prince Duan for your kindness. The princess just has a bad stomach and it hurts when she's hungry. I'm grilling some meat for her."
Dugu Yu's last sentence successfully scared away those who were about to show their courtesy by handing over the roasted meat in their hands.
The prince wants to serve the princess personally, who dares to steal his limelight?
At the same time, she lowered her head, not daring to even glance at Prince Duan. Princess Wuling would rather starve to the point of having a stomachache than eat anything Prince Duan gave her. This definitely meant she had a grudge against Prince Duan!
Prince Duan didn't mind Dugu Yu's rejection, and seemed completely unaware of how much the other party disliked him. He continued, "I heard that Princess Wu Ling loves flowers. A few days ago, the palace received some rare peonies as tribute. They will bloom in about ten days. Then..."
Dugu Yu said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to listen to other people's nonsense. My princess doesn't like peonies, she likes wintersweet, and it's too early for them to bloom."
The man whose meat was already cooked found an excuse to give the meat to the girls and ran away. The ones who were not yet cooked stepped back a little bit in unease.
Ling Jingxuan smiled slightly, "Really? I was thinking about giving a few to Prince Wu Ling's Mansion to see for themselves."
Dugu Yu frowned and looked at Ling Jingxuan's face with a smile as gentle as jade through the firelight. The more he looked, the more he wanted to press his face into the fire and burn it to a crisp!
He just wanted to ask Qin Qingyao to go to your house to see those broken flowers, but now he changes the subject and says he wants to send them over. This is just to satirize his mean-spirited thinking!
No wonder Qingqing doesn’t like you, you’re so insidious!
Dugu Yu thought of what Qin Qingyao had just told him in the carriage, asking him to crush Prince Duan in terms of strategy in the future. It seemed that this matter could indeed be put on the agenda.
