Chapter 30: Sense of Security

Instinctively, she hugged Xie Jing's neck tightly with her arm, and grabbed his clothes with the other hand, fearing that she would be thrown out.

This scene seemed familiar. A few months ago, they also hugged each other by accident.

After stabilizing, she secretly rejoiced, [Fortunately, Xie Jing caught her, otherwise she would definitely fall and hurt. ]

This time, knowing who the other person was, Xie Jing's strength in his hands was much more restrained.

With such a close contact, his body instinctively tensed up, and he felt that the person in his arms was very soft, and the thin waist under his palm was even softer.

Jiang Youning has never been in love, and has never even held a man's hand, let alone hugging the opposite sex.

Coming to ancient times, she hugged the same man twice.

After reacting, she left Xie Jing's arms immediately, and never thought of taking this opportunity to do something that Xie Jing would hate, and then break off the engagement.

Xie Jing felt empty in his arms, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Youning, only to see her lowering her eyes, but she was saying in her heart,

"Why did I run so fast? I could have taken the opportunity to pretend to fall into his arms and consolidate my image of seducing him, but I missed it."

Jiang Youning looked regretful, "I don't know why Xie Jing broke off the engagement? Time dragged on too long, and he died young...】

Hearing her mention his untimely death again, Xie Jing's eyes darkened, and then she sighed,

【Alas! It's a pity that he died so young. If he hadn't died, he would have been able to destroy the Huns with his military strategy.】

Xie Jing clenched his hands on his knees. The Huns had not been destroyed yet, and even before that moment, he knew that he was leaving with regrets.

The carriage suddenly stopped slowly, which meant that they had arrived.

Jiang Youning found it a little strange. It was very close to the street and the Fu Jiang Restaurant, so why did it take so long?

After getting off the carriage and looking at the words "Royal Hunting Ground" written on the gate in front of her, she finally understood why it took so long to walk.

[Xie Jing brought me here for a date so early in the morning? I might as well sleep at home!]

Xie Jing glanced at Jiang Youning and said, "Come in."

Jiang Youning had no choice but to follow him in.

After entering, the guards told him that Xie Jing had won a victory and the emperor was happy, so he allowed him to come to the hunting ground to hunt at any time.

Eunuch Li came over with a smile and pointed to a horse not far away and said, "General Xie, this precious horse was a tribute from the Western Regions. The emperor specially prepared it for General Xie."

Xie Jing looked in the direction of Eunuch Li's finger and saw a brown horse kicking its front hooves restlessly with a wild look in its eyes.

He retracted his gaze, "Please tell His Majesty, Eunuch Li, I like it very much."

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "I will tell His Majesty."

After Eunuch Li left, Jiang Youning followed Xie Jing to the fence.

The Ferghana horse was eating grass with its head down. When it noticed someone coming, it raised its head and looked over with vigilance.

Jiang Youning had only seen the Ferghana horse on TV. This was the first time she had admired it up close. She was a little excited.

[If Xie Jing could ride the Ferghana horse for a stroll, she would definitely be shocked.]

Xie Jing: "..." Strolling? She thought this was walking the dog?

Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at Xie Jing with anticipation in her eyes, "General, do you want to ride it?"

Xie Jing looked down and said, "This is a wild horse. I didn't have time to tame it."

Jiang Youning felt a little sorry, "Oh, I see."

Xie Jing asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

Jiang Youning shook her head, "No."

Xie Jing's original intention was to take Jiang Youning hunting with him. He should have thought that she was so weak, how could she ride a horse?

"Then you stay where you are and don't run around."

Jiang Youning nodded obediently, "General, don't worry, I won't run around."

Xie Jing stared at her for a while, then turned around and walked to the fence, grabbed the fence with one hand, and turned over the fence. The whole set of movements was done in one go, as smooth as flowing water.

Jiang Youning watched Xie Jing walk towards the blood-sweating horse, and then she realized that he wanted to tame it.

Xie Jing turned over and sat on the horse's back easily. The untamed wild horse found someone sitting on it and immediately struggled violently.

Xie Jing sat on it steadily, and no matter how the blood-sweating horse ran and bumped, it was not thrown off by the blood-sweating horse.

She could imagine how heroic and majestic Xie Jing looked on the battlefield.

The blood-sweating horse found that it couldn't get rid of the person on its back, so it suddenly jumped up and ran quickly. It ran so hard that Xie Jing's body could be seen bouncing up and down uncontrollably.

Jiang Youning saw the blood-sweating horse running away, and she retracted her sight and glimpsed a wild rabbit running past her. Her eyes lit up, "There's roasted rabbit to eat."

She chased in the direction of the rabbit, but the rabbit disappeared in a short while.

"If I had known that we were going to the hunting ground, I would have made a slingshot in advance."

She was a little unwilling, "I really want to eat roasted rabbit meat."

Xie Jing came back from taming the blood-sweating horse, and glanced around. He didn't see Jiang Youning's figure, his eyes tightened, and he got off the horse neatly, striding around to look for her figure.

Jiang Youning didn't stay long because she didn't have the tools to catch the rabbit. She turned around and walked out unwillingly.

She saw Xie Jing coming towards her from a distance, and then she realized that she didn't listen to him and ran to chase the rabbit. She suddenly felt guilty.

"General."

Xie Jing's dark eyes stared at the poisonous snake on the tree. It was only a few feet away from Jiang Youning. If she walked forward, she would be easily attacked.

He said coldly: "Stand still."

Jiang Youning just raised her foot, but was frightened by the cold voice and retracted her foot. Is Xie Jing angry?

She didn't run far, so why was he angry?

Just when Jiang Youning was confused, Xie strode over, put his hand on his waist, and pulled out a soft sword.

She had seen a sword hidden in a waistband on TV before, and this time she saw it with her own eyes, and found that his action was also very handsome.

The next second, she was held in Xie Jing's arms, her body turned, and she could hear the sound of cold weapons breaking through the air.

Before she could react to what was happening, she saw a bloody object falling from in front of her and rolling twice on the ground.

She looked closely and found that it was a snake head, about the size of an egg, with its mouth open.

Jiang Youning was most afraid of snakes. She was so scared when she suddenly saw the bloody snake head that she took several steps back, and instinctively held Xie Jing's waist tightly with both hands.

"Snake, snake..."

Xie Jing glanced at the chopped-off snake body and snake head on the ground, and his eyes finally fell on Jiang Youning. She was lowering her head at this time, and she noticed that her waist was tightly grasped by two hands, and she knew that she was scared.

He held the soft sword tightly and threw the snake head and snake body into the bushes.

Jiang Youning looked up and saw this scene. She couldn't help but praise him: "General, you are awesome."

Xie Jing: "..." How timid.

Jiang Youning paused for a while before she came back to her senses from the shock. She looked down and found that she was hugging Xie Jing's waist instead of his arms.

She couldn't help but sigh, [Xie Jing's waist is so narrow, no wonder she looks so good with a waist belt, and her thighs are long. I, a woman, envy her.]
