Chapter 57 Chapter 57

Wang Shun didn't think any further and went back to his carriage.

When he passed by the Jiang family's carriage on the way back, his eyes became somewhat vicious.

The Gu family's carriage also followed.

It turned out that a bunch of annoying people gathered together.

Wang Shun withdrew his gaze, stopped looking at them, and returned to his carriage.

The group set out in a grand procession. When the carriage passed through the long street, the people bowed down and paid homage to the emperor, and only dared to raise their heads after the carriage passed by.

Only after the carriages and horses had disappeared did people heave a sigh of relief and disperse to continue their idle chats.

"Every battle is so big. There's still a war going on in the northern border. How can you have so much time to play around? Besides, we don't know if there's money in the treasury. If there's money, we can build the old Shezi Terrace. Why don't we just transfer the money to the northern border? We won't have to wait in suspense. The Mongols can't get in, and we can't drive them away. We're hanging around like a hungry wolf, lingering around."

Someone replied, "You don't understand this, don't you? Autumn hunting is important. It is used to strengthen the relationship between the emperor and his subjects. Before the autumn hunting begins, one must be filial to the ancestors. How can it be just a normal game? It is our emperor's love for the people and the animals. You don't understand the construction of Tianlu Terrace, don't you? It is our emperor's sincerity and following the will of heaven... Think about it, think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with it? It has its own merits."

The man almost rolled his eyes, "Have you said enough?"

"That's what my father told me. Just think about it this way. It will make you feel better."

What else can you do? Just like what happened just now, no matter how much you dislike it, you still have to kowtow.

Throw a rotten egg at it and you will know what it means to lose your head.

In this case, numbness is not a bad thing.

Who says numbness is bad?

When people become numb, it seems that pain can no longer affect them.

"Let's go, don't think so much."

They did not continue to argue, as there would be no conclusion to be reached on such a matter, because no outcome could be decided by them.

What does the affairs of those in higher positions have to do with them?

Anyway, they don't care whether they live or die.

*

Soon the group arrived at the royal hunting grounds for autumn hunting.

The place had already been prepared, and when Emperor Taihe and his party arrived, they first performed the ceremony of paying homage to their ancestors and worshipping heaven. Then Emperor Taihe said a lot of words of encouragement to the emperor and his subjects. It was not until the sun was at its highest point, almost noon, that the ceremony was completely concluded and the banquet began.

The weather is clear and crisp in autumn. It is the end of October. The days are not as hot as in summer, nor as cold as in winter. The paddock is surrounded by mountains and towering ancient trees.

The pines and cypresses were verdant, the air was clear, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager sat on high seats, looking at the ministers who filled the hall below.

The banquet had begun, with singing and dancing. The center of the stage was covered with red silk, and the singing girls were dancing. They were wearing gorgeous clothes, and their exposed skin looked even whiter under the sunlight. They were swaying, and the pearls and jade on their hairpins were gently colliding, making pleasant sounds. There was the sound of a melodious piano, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine mixed together, creating a luxurious atmosphere.

There was no expression on Emperor Taihe's face. He looked indifferent as he watched the dancers dance, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Jiang Jingchun and Gu Huaisheng sat together, occasionally watching the dancers dance, occasionally lowering their heads to eat some food, and not paying any attention to others.

She was not afraid of trouble, but she was under a lot of psychological pressure when they talked to her in the past, and she was always nervous even if she was brave enough. But after hearing what Gu Huaisheng said last time, she was no longer nervous and was more free to do what she wanted.

The dancers moved their graceful bodies so fascinatedly that Jiang Jingchun even forgot to chew the food in his mouth.

Although she didn't understand the difference between vulgarity and elegance, or highbrow beauty, she still had a basic eye for distinguishing beauty, and once her eyes fell on the dancer, she couldn't take them away.

She didn't know what kind of skill this was, why someone could make people unable to take their eyes off them just by dancing.

Gu Huaisheng naturally noticed her look.

Sometimes he said she was childish and he felt he was right. She just liked to eat and play and didn't take anything to heart. Now there was one more thing: she liked to watch other people dance.

It is harmless for women to stare at other women, but when men stare at other women, it is often with ill intentions. Everyone present just glanced at the dancers, and their expressions were more serious than each other. After all, the emperor was still in power, so they had to be dignified and self-possessed, without any evil intentions. This dynasty attaches great importance to etiquette and education. If anyone looks at these dancers for a second longer now and is remembered by someone with ulterior motives, it will inevitably be brought up for settlement in future quarrels.

Besides, the wives and children of each family are present today, so it is better to avoid doing things that are detrimental to family harmony.

But Jiang Jingchun didn't care about that. It didn't matter if she kept staring at him. Besides, she was just a girl, so who could say anything?

After this round, Jiang Jingchun seemed more excited than anyone else.

Gu Huaisheng thought, fortunately Jiang Jingchun was just enjoying the sight now, but he must not let her discover other interesting things.

There are many famous male actors in the capital...

Although everyone appears to be serious on the surface, they are not playing cleanly in private.

Some men have the style of cutting off sleeves and always like to seek some excitement. Gu Huaisheng once judged a case in the Censorate, which was extremely absurd.

There was once a young opera singer in the opera house who had an affair with the lady of a wealthy family. However, their affair was accidentally discovered and the singer was sent to the head of the family. Only then did he discover that the young opera singer also had a past relationship with the head of the family in the opera house.

Later, the old man himself felt disgusted, thinking that the young man was having an affair with him and his wife at home, so he killed the young man in a rage.

Although this matter was suppressed for a period of time, it was later exposed by political enemies and reported to the Censorate.

The couple, looking for happiness, found it in one person.

Looking at the case, if anyone is innocent, I am the most innocent.

From the beginning to the end, whether serving men or women, it was beyond one's control.

But in the end, because of their messy family affairs, they ended up like this.

Later, Gu Huaisheng did not care about the old man's identity and punished him according to the law of murder. Slaves were not worth anything according to the "Dazhao Law". If the slave was from the old man's family, she would have died. But the actor was not bought home by him, so Gu Huaisheng directly punished him for killing an innocent citizen. Although he could not repay an old man with a life, the man still suffered a lot.

There are many sensual things in the world, but Jiang Jingchun accepts everything. She likes whatever makes her feel comfortable.

Gu Huaisheng thought that it was nothing that Jiang Jingchun liked watching women dancing now, but he must not let her meet some individual ones... otherwise, if they made eye contact, she would probably not be able to take her eyes off them.

The maid brought a bowl of blanched shrimps.

Jiang Jingchun likes to eat shrimps, but she just doesn’t like to peel them.

It was good to have this squeamishness, because there would always be someone to love her and serve her. At home, Hua Yun would peel her hair, but now that she was in the hunting ground for a banquet, the maids were temporarily left somewhere else, so no one peeled her hair.

She won’t eat it unless you peel it.

In fact, he doesn't like these things. In addition, he has a serious obsession with cleanliness. From childhood to adulthood, he has only touched shrimps a few times...

He rolled up his sleeves and began to peel shrimp for her.

Jiang Jingchun was still concentrating on what was in front of him and did not notice Gu Huaisheng's actions until the shrimp was handed to his mouth.

She came back to her senses and retracted her gaze. She glanced down and found that Gu Huaisheng was holding a peeled shrimp in his hand.

Cong Bai was holding the shrimp on his fingertips. Jiang Jingchun was obviously stunned, as if he had not expected Gu Huaisheng to do such a thing. He even forgot to open his mouth for a moment as he looked at the shrimp that was delivered to his mouth.

She looked up at Gu Huaisheng again and saw that he was also staring at her.

The two looked at each other, Gu Huaisheng looked at her lips and said, "Open your mouth."

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, and his voice was clear and cold, yet it carried a tenderness that others could not hear. These two simple words sounded like a gentle inducement to Jiang Jingchun's ears.

Jiang Jingchun's mind was empty. After hearing his words, he opened his mouth.

Gu Huaisheng watched Jiang Jingchun open her lips obediently, with a smile on her face, and fed the shrimp into her mouth.

The shrimp was stuffed into her mouth, and her fingers accidentally brushed across her red lips, bringing a burning sensation. Gu Huaisheng's fingertips couldn't help but tremble.

But before he could think about anything, Jiang Jingchun said, "It's not like I don't have hands. I can peel them myself."

She still had a shrimp in her mouth and her voice was a little slurred.

No way, Gu Huaisheng thought.

But he only thought about it in his mind and did not refute her. He just chuckled and started to peel another shrimp.

He saw Jiang Jingchun's eyes return to the dancers and asked, "Do you like watching so much?"

My eyes are almost glued to them.

Jiang Jingchun didn't hear the joke behind Gu Huaisheng's words. She was just wondering why she hadn't noticed the beauty of these things before. The dancers would often look in her direction, which made Jiang Jingchun's heart swell even more.

It turns out that there are some things that you don’t like to see when you are young, but when you grow up, you will naturally understand the fun of them.

Gu Huaisheng didn't wait for her answer, nor did he ask again. She looked at the dancer, and he threw shrimps into her mouth from time to time. Jiang Jingchun was most obedient at this time. Her mind was elsewhere and she didn't pay attention to his movements.

Many people nearby noticed Gu Huaisheng's actions.

Some of them were curious about what Gu Huaisheng would be like after marriage. Would a man who was so cold-hearted on weekdays also be like that to his wife after marriage?

But unexpectedly, I saw Gu Huaisheng peeling shrimps for Jiang Jingchun...

Gu Huaisheng was actually peeling shrimps.

This is somewhat surprising.

Let alone him, ask yourself, how many men here would peel shrimps for their wives? Looking around, I don’t see any other husband peeling shrimps with his hands like him.

It was quite unexpected anyway...

Lord Gu's colleague was sitting next to him and couldn't help but come over and say, "Your two children are so lucky. I didn't know Fu Yan was so caring before. I didn't expect that the iron tree would bloom. No one can compare to him."

Lord Gu was also pleased to hear this. He looked at Gu Huaisheng and Jiang Jingchun beside him and felt that the days were getting better and better. He took a sip of wine happily, thinking that maybe he would be able to hold his grandson soon.

He unceremoniously agreed with his colleague's words, "Of course he must be lucky. To be honest, I can't compare to him."

My colleague laughed, "That's great. It looks like we can have our birthday party soon..."

The two drank together, chatting and laughing, but the atmosphere was soon broken, the singing and dancing faded away, and Emperor Taihe spoke, as if he had something to say.

Everyone fell silent, and my colleague sat back down without saying anything else.

Emperor Taihe started out by saying something irrelevant to the pain, but later on, he somehow ended up talking about the war in the northern border.

When the Empress Dowager saw Emperor Taihe start to say these things, she felt like speaking up to stop him. She said, "Emperor, it's autumn hunting time, just go out and have fun. Why do you have to bring up all this?"

Emperor Taihe did not respond. He said, "Mother, just mention it casually. What's the big deal?"

Now that the Emperor had said this, it seemed unnecessary for the Empress Dowager to continue.

When Emperor Taihe saw that the Empress Dowager had stopped talking, he started talking about business again. He said, "The Mongolian soldiers in the northern border are still lingering around and are always coveting the northern land. Do you have any ideas?"

The emperor usually only discussed the northern border issue with his inner cabinet, so why did he bring it up in public today? Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor was up to, and no one spoke first.

Finally, it was Wang Shun who spoke first. He said, "I think that the Mongolian soldiers are stationed at the border of Dazhao now, and we can't figure out what their intentions are. It's better not to act rashly. After all, Shen Changqing colluded with the enemy and Dazhao lost miserably in the battle of Hangu Pass. I'm afraid those people have become fearless. We can't figure out what chances we have of winning if we fight again now."

Who else could say anything when the Prime Minister spoke? Everyone was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, Song Ge Lao stood up and said, "I don't think so. If we keep delaying today until tomorrow, this year until next year, are we going to keep dragging it out with those people? If we keep delaying, aren't we giving them opportunities? Aren't we giving them the initiative? Besides, the situation in the northern border is good now. Who says there is no chance of winning?"

The opinions of the Prime Minister and the Second Assistant are completely contradictory. These things have been argued over hundreds of times. Now the emperor brings it up again, and he still says the same thing over and over again.

What's the point of mentioning it again?

After a moment of silence, the emperor asked, "So what do you think, my dear ministers?"

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment. Then the emperor started asking people to express their opinions. He laughed, glanced at everyone, and said jokingly, "Just say it. It doesn't cost money to express your opinion."

The statement is that I don’t want money... I want my life.

In the end, there are five elders in the inner cabinet. Except for Lord Gu who is willing to stand on the side of Elder Song, the other two naturally listen to whatever Wang Shun says.

As for the ministers, as in the past, most of them stood behind Wang Shun.

Therefore, it is really useless to ask this question today.

Emperor Taihe sat on the high platform and looked at the situation thoughtfully. He did not expect that Wang Shun still had so many supporters until now.

It seems that the money that Wang Shun embezzled was more or less distributed into the pockets of those people, so it is no wonder that they are so obedient.

Emperor Taihe took a quick look, understood what was going on, and didn't say anything else.

The line of sight paused for a moment when it finally fell on Gu Huaisheng.

He asked him if he had anything to say.

Gu Huaisheng had already wiped his hands while he was talking just now. When he heard Emperor Taihe calling him, he stood up and answered. He had already expressed his position just now, but Emperor Taihe asked him to come out and speak again.

The emperor had his own scale in his heart, but it was actually tilted.

He also wanted to send troops to Mongolia, but the current situation was that half of the people in the court were from the Wang party.

Gu Huaisheng stood up and bowed, then said: "I think what Mr. Song said is right. Didn't Su Mingyun of the previous dynasty discuss the six countries? Today we cede five cities, tomorrow we cede ten cities, and then we look at the four borders. The Qin army is coming... Although Da Zhao will not end up in such a situation, if we give in again and again and delay again and again, without learning from the past, no one can guess what will happen in the future."

Wang Shun laughed when he heard this, "Young Lord, are you saying that Da Zhao is doomed to perish?"

If we use the events of the previous dynasty to illustrate the present, there is something to be said for it if we use it to guide the current situation.

This is the bad thing. You might be discussing state affairs one second, but he will seize on every little detail and make a fuss the next. It is like this every time he discusses state affairs. As long as what you say is not to his liking, he will make things difficult for you.

Wang Shun's tone was polite on the surface, but his words were not very polite.

Gu Huaisheng didn't care that he was accusing him. He lowered his eyes and bowed to him without even bending his waist.

He said, "I will answer whatever the emperor asks. If you want me to think this way, I can do nothing about it."

He was too lazy to talk to him any more.

If I really continued to follow his words, I wouldn't know where he would end up.

Emperor Taihe came out to smooth things over. He gave a dry laugh, but his smile was invisible. He said, "It's just a casual question. There's no need to argue. It's the autumn hunting season, and there's no point in arguing about it."

Emperor Taihe looked at Gu Huaisheng again and said, "You seem to have changed since your marriage. A talented man and a beautiful woman, but you only envy the birds and not the fairies... Very good, very good. I never looked at this young lady of the Jiang family carefully before. Come, stand up and let me take a look."

Jiang Jingchun had already come back to her senses when Gu Huaisheng stood up to answer, but she didn't know how they ended up talking about her from family and national affairs. She shuddered and didn't dare to delay. When she heard Emperor Taihe calling her, she stood up immediately.

It was the first time that she was singled out by the emperor, so she was inevitably a little nervous. Gu Huaisheng noticed her uneasiness and calmly comforted her, "Don't be afraid."

She had been kept in the palace all year round. The only time she had been away from home was when she sneaked out of the city for three days. She had seen the emperor before, but she had just been a silent quail below. Now she was called up alone, and all the ministers' eyes were on her, even the empress and the empress dowager were staring at her.

It is inevitable to be nervous.

Gu Huaisheng's words gently reached Jiang Jingchun's ears. She calmed down a little and respectfully saluted Emperor Taihe.

Emperor Taihe's eyes fell on Jiang Jingchun. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Today is autumn hunting. If you want something, tell your husband and ask him to hunt for you."

Of the six arts of a gentleman, namely rites, music, archery, defense, calligraphy and mathematics, Gu Huaisheng has always been the best at them.

He said this without any airs, and it sounded like he was joking with Gu Huaisheng.

After hearing this, Gu Huaisheng spoke before Jiang Jingchun, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing me."

He blocked the words without making a sound. Emperor Taihe understood the implication of his words, but the smile on his face did not fade away.

Emperor Taihe actually didn't understand why Gu Huaisheng liked Jiang Jingchun, but from Gu Huaisheng's behavior, it could be seen that they had a good relationship.

Seeing Gu Huaisheng protecting Jiang Jingchun like this, Emperor Taihe didn't want to talk any more. He said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I see you don't have any appetite to eat anymore. It's time to end the banquet. Go get your horses and take your bows. Whoever gets the first prize today will be rewarded by me."

After Emperor Taihe finished speaking, the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed and no longer tense.

Although the Autumn Hunt was held in the palace, Emperor Taihe never rode on a horse; it was mostly for his ministers to play around.

Emperor Taihe only rode a horse once, when he was eighteen years old.

This is a long story.

At that time, Qiong Zhang was still alive. He and he rode their horses without caring about anything else. They had a great time together that day, and at the end, the two of them even drank.

They hid in the deep forest and no one could find them.

The world is vast and boundless. At this moment, they are not emperors and their subjects, but best friends.

That day, the drunk Qiong Zhang told him that he seemed to have fallen in love with someone.

He fell in love with a dancer.

Emperor Taihe was lying on the ground, and just laughed when he heard this. Qiong Zhang was so stupid, how could he understand what love was?

He said, "Qiong Zhang, that's not love, you just think that dancer is pretty."

Qiong Zhang is very thin-skinned. If a girl wears less and shows her bare arms, he will blush and dare not look at her. He blushes no matter who he looks at. Can that be called love?

Qiong Zhang argued with him until his face turned even redder.

"That's not the case. I really like her. Why doesn't the emperor believe it, and she doesn't believe it either..."

Cen Yin always suspected him, always suspected that he didn't like her, always suspected that he would abandon her and not want her.

Emperor Taihe finally straightened his expression and asked him, "Does the teacher know?"

Qiong Zhang shook his head, "I dare not tell Dad, he will definitely be angry, if he knows he will definitely kill her..."

Wang Shun was too strict, and was equally strict to both of them. But Emperor Taihe was the emperor after all, and apart from admonishing him with the words of Confucius, he would not beat him. However, Qiong Zhang had been beaten many times since he was a child. If he read the wrong book or said the wrong thing, he would be beaten by Wang Shun.

If Wang Shun knew that he was involved with a dancer, it would be a devastating event.

Qiong Zhang simply didn't dare to even think about it.

He hid Cen Yin, and hid her so well that even his father couldn't find her.

Because he thought that if he was discovered, Cen Yin would definitely die.

So, absolutely not, you can’t be discovered.

That day the two men lay in the forest near the hunting ground, and no one found them, so they lay there all night.

At daybreak, some of the Royal Guard finally discovered where they were and took them out.

After going out that day, the emperor was indeed reprimanded.

Sleeping outdoors in the woods of the hunting grounds without permission, and even staying out drinking, is not what an emperor should do. An emperor should just sit upright on the high platform.

Perhaps the events of that day seemed too extreme to the Empress Dowager. She believed that she had corrupted the Emperor, so she went on a hunger strike to show her determination. Emperor Taihe knelt for a whole night before the Empress Dowager calmed down.

In fact, Emperor Taihe was quite confused. It was obvious that he and Qiong Zhang came out of the forest together, but his mother rushed to check on Qiong Zhang's safety first. Moreover, even when Wang Shun wanted to punish Qiong Zhang, she intervened.

But she wanted to use hunger strike to force him to obey.

The Queen Mother seemed to be closer to Qiong Zhang than he was to her...

Qiong Zhang lost his mother when he was born, but later on, he had his own mother.

Perhaps the events of that day left a particularly deep impression on him, and the shadow cast by them was too great, for after that the Emperor Taihe never mounted a horse again during the autumn hunts.

After giving the order, he got up and walked towards the tent, and did not stay here any longer.

After the emperor left, the situation became much more relaxed and everyone got up and went to their own tents to change into riding clothes.

Jiang Jingchun and Gu Huaisheng also returned to the tent.

Because Jiang Jingchun had just called the emperor's name, he was still a little dazed and was a little absent-minded along the way.

Gu Huaisheng reached out and pinched her fingertips when she wasn't paying attention, and found that they were indeed a little cold.

Before Jiang Jingchun could react, he chuckled, "Are you still scared? What do you want later? I'll take you hunting."

His voice was clear and the ending tone was rising, like a question.

Gu Huaisheng had no idea why Jiang Jingchun had two different tempers. She was so crazy in front of him, but in front of others, her hands became so cold before she even said anything.

Jiang Jingchun heard the teasing in Gu Huaisheng's words, she even forgot to pull her hand back, and said stubbornly, "I'm not afraid."

She didn't want Gu Huaisheng to laugh at her.

She looked like a weakling on the outside, but in Gu Huaisheng's eyes she looked pitiful and lovable.

She was too defensive.

Maybe it was because of what happened in the past that she has this kind of temper now.

In the past, Jiang Jingchun said whatever she wanted.

But now I’m afraid and won’t say anything.

Gu Huaisheng felt his throat was a little choked, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't think about it, he won't eat you, come with me later..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Jingchun shook her head and said, "I'm going to look for Ah Qing later."

Jiang Jingchun stopped thinking about what happened just now. Gu Huaisheng was right. She had nothing to be afraid of. She hadn't done anything. She had made up her mind. She would change her clothes and go find Chen Muqing. This year, she was going to catch some rabbits in the woods.

In addition to some birds of prey in the forest, there are also small toys such as rabbits, which are specially hunted by the young ladies.

After hearing what Jiang Jingchun said, Gu Huaisheng stopped talking. The two of them were almost walking into the tent. After thinking for a while, he said, "There are many people here today. Don't interact with Song Xuanan... It's not good if others see you."

Um?

Jiang Jingchun didn't know why Gu Huaisheng was thinking about that again. She looked at him and said, "What are you thinking about? He wants to ride a horse and shoot arrows, but I don't know how to shoot arrows. We can't play together."

She would just chase rabbits until she was dead. Song Xuan'an liked archery and shooting birds of prey, so they naturally couldn't get along well.

Jiang Jingchun had already taken her clothes and went inside to change. She wanted to go find Chen Muqing as soon as possible. The royal enclosure must be more fun than outside.

When she changed into light clothes and came out, she found Jiang Runchu was also outside. It seemed that he was looking for Gu Huaisheng. They should go cycling together later.

Jiang Jingchun saw that Jiang Runchu was slightly stunned. Jiang Runchu, who was still talking to Gu Huaisheng, also fell silent.

It was still awkward for the two to see each other again.

Jiang Runchu touched his nose uncomfortably and asked, "Are you going to catch rabbits?"

Jiang Runchu knew her well. He knew from the way she was dressed that she was going to go find Chen Muqing. Chen Muqing knew how to shoot arrows, but Jiang Jingchun didn't, so she could probably just chase rabbits.

Jiang Jingchun did not refute and just said "hmm".

Jiang Runchu turned his head away, coughed lightly, and said, "The southern part of the forest is full of small things, there are a lot of rabbits..."

Jiang Jingchun knew what he meant, but looked at him indifferently and said, "It's not like I don't know. You don't need to tell me."

After choking him with these words, he went out without looking back.

When Jiang Runchu said this to her, his face turned pale. He was just kindly reminding her, why did she give him such a cold look?

Jiang Jingchun left the tent and gradually disappeared. Jiang Runchu finally came back to his senses, "No... doesn't she usually treat you like this?"

He said she held a grudge, and he was right.

He lowered his head twice, why is she still like this?

Just like a stubborn donkey, it can't be pulled back once it's unbridled.

Is it the same with Gu Huaisheng on weekdays?

Or is it that Jiang Jingchun has two faces, and that's why she treats him like this?

Gu Huaisheng didn't show any emotion after hearing this, he just said calmly: "You can't stand this?"

It was no use for him to shed tears in front of her.

He thought it through after just two sentences?

What is he thinking about?

Jiang Runchu understood the implication of Gu Huaisheng's words, pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Jiang Jingchun walked out of the tent and started looking for Chen Muqing. The surroundings were quite lively, everyone was talking and laughing, there was no trace of the depressing atmosphere at the banquet just now. A breeze blew, carrying the scent of withered leaves in the air. Winter was approaching, and the late autumn wind was a bit chilly.

The wind blew on my cheeks and it was a little painful, but it made me feel comfortable for some reason.

She wanted to find Chen Muqing as soon as possible and catch the rabbit.

The wind made people want to run, and Jiang Jingchun ran faster unconsciously.

Jiang Jingchun walked quickly towards Chen Muqing's tent, but when passing by a tent, a man suddenly came out. When Jiang Jingchun reacted, he could not stop his feet and bumped into the man.

She just walked faster but didn't run, so she wouldn't fall even if she bumped into someone. But she felt a strong push on her shoulder from that person, and before she could react, she had already fallen on her butt.

She felt pain and looked up. She was immediately frightened to the point of fainting.

Oh no, this is really troublesome.

Why did I bump into Wang Shun when I could have bumped into anyone else...

At this moment, Wang Shun was standing there, looking down at her coldly, his eyes like a venomous snake lingering on her.
