Chapter 55: Are you talking to the doll?
The fresh air in the mountains makes people feel happy, and the drowsiness from riding along the way does not affect everyone's mood.
Even Shen Tingyu, who had a puppet body, was no exception. He couldn't hide his excitement and excitement all over his body. Everything was fresh.
Let it out! Let it out!
She yelled, kicked the brocade bag away, stood on the table and surveyed the tent, shaking her head and saying excitedly, "The Mountain King is here!"
She even changed into a new set of riding clothes, a light bun, and a small cape for the spring hunt.
As he walked, his clothes fluttered in the wind, and he looked up with a bright expression. There was a hint of excitement and cunning on his face. He walked without recognizing anyone, and he really looked like a mountain king.
Xin Hongying chuckled.
While patrolling the long table, Shen Tingyu turned his head and asked, "What mountain is this?"
Although she couldn't actually ride a horse and shoot arrows, she brought her own pair of silver needles.
The tyrant also gave her a small sleeve pin, which fit her arm perfectly, as if it could help her blend into the atmosphere of spring hunting.
Before leaving Beijing, she left Da Que'er behind because she was worried that it would be mistaken for prey and shot to death, so she was not taken with her.
But Shen Tingyu did not lock it in a cage. Instead, he waited for the beast-controlling talisman to expire, until it forgot about him and flew away with its wings flapping.
"Luxu Mountain."
Infected by her emotions, the ice melted and Xin Hongying became more interested. "The fairy is very happy."
"Of course." Shen Tingyu noticed the giant bow in the center of the tent and pointed with her little hand: "What a big bow. Is this the bow and arrow that Your Majesty will use tomorrow? Can Your Majesty pull it open?"
Shen Tingyu seemed to have a lot of questions, and her little mouth never stopped chattering.
There seem to be mysterious runes carved above the bow and arrow, which is simple and elegant, and you will be attracted to it at first sight.
Xin Hongying stepped forward, took the bow, placed it on the table, and said calmly, "I can draw the full eight-stone bow."
"Eight-stone bow!" Shen Tingyu was not a person who knew nothing. Anyone who could pull the eight-stone bow was already very powerful, let alone pulling it to the full extent.
She walked forward curiously, touched the smooth arrowhead with her small hands, and stood in the center of the bowstring.
"I'll try."
Xin Hongying raised her eyebrows frivolously, but did not stop him.
The little hand tried hard to pull the bowstring of the bow and arrow, but Shen Tingyu used all his strength but couldn't pull the bowstring, and even the bow and arrow couldn't be pulled at all.
Her body has been strengthened by the system, so although her strength is weaker than when she was a human, she is still able to pull a bow and arrow.
Shen Tingyu was panting with exhaustion. She took a long breath and gave up completely. She grumbled in doubt, "It's so heavy. Can I really pull it all the way?"
"Of course." Xin Hongying walked to her side, picked up the big bow, took out a jade ring from somewhere, put it on his thumb, and pulled the bow without putting an arrow on it.
"Just watch."
Xin Hongying concentrated his mind, pointed the bow at the tent curtain, and exerted force with his fingertips. Soon, Xin Hongying pulled the bow to its full length like a full moon.
He paused for a moment, his eyebrows slightly curved, as if waiting for something.
Shen Tingyu stared blankly, then suddenly opened his eyes wide. The tyrant's arm with the bowstring fully drawn had smooth lines, faintly revealing the thin muscles of his arm. Even if the bow was not equipped with arrow feathers, it was still intimidating.
His temperament changed drastically, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
He was equally murderous. Before, he had the aura of a wild beast, but now he was a hunter as calm and shrewd as an eagle, so fascinating that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
She looked at him with admiration, as if she had never seen the world before. She let out a "wow" and clapped her little hands to applaud him.
She really feels very powerful, and a little unexpectedly sexy and handsome!
Xin Hongying was pleased by her reaction (secretly delighted), pointed the bowstring at the curtain of the tent, moved his fingertips slightly, and finally let go.
"hideous--!"
“Bang!”
The bowstring made a short sound in the air, and then there was a snap. It was the sound of Luo Hun opening the tent, and the heavy curtains flapped.
Two different voices sounded at the same time.
Xin Hongying explained to Shen Tingyu, "If I put on the arrow feathers, this arrow can..."
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Xin Hongying: "..."
Hearing the sound, Shen Tingyu turned his head and looked. Luo Hun stopped staring at the bow in the tyrant's hand with a surprised look in his eyes, and the heavy curtain slapped his back.
The clapping hands stopped instantly, the mouth opened into a '0' shape, and the hands and feet were stiff with shock. The body fell backwards with its eyes tilted.
Silent snap!
Something seemed to fall down quickly.
Xin Hongying put down the bow and arrow, held her in his palm, and said lightly: "Brother, you scared my baby."
Luo Hun had a complicated expression on his face. He looked at Xin Hongying's cautious movements and mistakenly thought he was dreaming.
"Your Majesty, who were you talking to just now? Were you talking to... this rag doll?"
Could it be that during those years on the frontier, Junior Brother… had no one to confide in, and so he'd changed? Not only had his temper become increasingly violent, but he'd also become repressed and developed some unknown, strange habit?!
Someone must have cast a spell on him!
Who is so bold!
Xin Hongying glanced at Luo Hun, then sat down in the tent holding the baby, looking listless, as if to say, "You've disturbed me."
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Pulling his mind back from its shock, Luo Hun bowed and quickly reported on military affairs.
Catching a glimpse of the exquisitely dressed doll in riding gear, Luo Hun's eyes flashed with curiosity as he speculated, "Your Majesty, is this doll Concubine Yu's?"
He heard that Concubine Yu was using witchcraft to harm people, so he was sent to the Dali Temple. Not long after, he returned to the palace. At the celebration banquet, he was kidnapped by thieves and his whereabouts are still unknown.
The news of the great favor of Concubine Yu reached the border.
Xin Hongying held the doll in her arms and nodded slightly. "This doll was left to me by Concubine Yu. I treasure it very much."
Luo Hun wondered if it was because His Majesty missed Concubine Yu too much after seeing her disappearance, or perhaps he felt guilty about the punishment given to Concubine Yu by the Dali Temple.
That's why he carried the doll related to Concubine Yu with him, but he vaguely felt something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, I will send more people to find the whereabouts of Concubine Yu. Don't be too sad." Luo Hun comforted him, "I have a pot of good wine, the best liquor from the border. I will go get it. Tonight, the two of us brothers will drink together and forget all our worries."
"What do you think?"
"Senior brother's wine is naturally good wine."
Xin Hongying's heart moved slightly, and she smiled faintly, "It's just that tomorrow's spring hunt is not the time for you and me to drink together."
Luo Hun clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "It's a deal. After the spring hunt is over, I'll serve some wine and give you a prize. If Your Majesty loses to me, don't be angry and ignore me like last time."
Xin Hongying's eyes flickered slightly: "Brother still remembers it."
