Chapter 244:
Chapter 244
Since the day when Wei Hanzhang was injured, she was recuperating in the tent, accompanied by Xiao Junzhan and never entered the paddock again.
It was past noon at this time. According to the custom of the past few days, he should have asked about the situation there and then went in to see people during the lunch break.
But now, he brought a group of personal guards with him, galloping in the paddock with horses, his face was stern, and he was looking for fun in killing the prey.
Murderous spirit and flesh and blood burst out, and the shouts shook the sky. When the brave men saw the prince coming in person, they wanted to show off their skills, so they went directly to fight naked with the ferocious beasts.
The scene of the battle between man and beast makes people excited and applauds.
Xiao Junzhan drew his bow and arrow, looked across the majestic and heated arena, aimed at the eyes of a fleeing cheetah, and shot out casually.
An arrow was shot, but he didn't check whether it hit or not. He turned over and dismounted and sat directly on the soft chair, looking at the fierce battle between humans and beasts.
The more perceptive ministers have already discovered that His Highness, who has been in a bad mood these days, is now in an increasingly bad mood.
No one dares to come forward to cause bad luck.
Not far away, several warriors besieged a black bear with their bodies. The surroundings were filled with cheers and drums.
Such a ferocious beast has strong energy and blood, is huge in size, and has to fight with all its strength in a trapped beast. Once it is swept by its sharp claws, it will be seriously injured with **** flesh.
The besieging people were cautious, but some people were still accidentally scratched. Just as they were dodging with their faces turning pale, an arrow shot from the air, hitting the black bear's roaring mouth, killing him with one arrow.
The surroundings were silent for a moment, and the next moment, there were thunderous cheers.
Among the scattered crowds, he can hit the vital point of his prey with one arrow. His archery skills are extraordinary and he is a fierce general.
Xiao Junzhan cast his gaze over and landed on the man holding the bow, his eyes changed slightly.
Gu Yunran bent down to salute and said, "I see you, Your Highness."
His naked upper body still has the unique thinness of a teenager, but his muscles are smooth and beautiful, and his abdominal muscles are clearly defined, giving him a vague sense of strength as an adult man.
Xiao Junzhan took a few breaths and said, "Is there any reward you want?"
Gu Yunran said: "I shot the black bear just as a trick. I really don't deserve the reward."
Xiao Junzhan said no more, just raised his hand slightly, and Ning Hai behind him understood him. With a glance, the chamberlain held a gray fur-trimmed dark green crane-carved silk cloak and presented it to him.
Ning Hai said: "Your Highness has given me this gift, but Mr. Gu still refuses to thank me."
This is the reward for the top three in this hunt. It is a gift from the emperor. The value in it is not the thing itself, but the attitude of the superior.
Gu Yunran calmly accepted the reward and bowed down to thank him again.
The king and his ministers returned home happily.
Back at the camp, on the deer-chasing stage, Ning Hai stood behind Xiao Junzhan. When he saw a servant running over, he walked down the steps and asked, "What's the matter?"
The waiter whispered something, and Ning Hai had a strange look on his face. After waving the people away, he walked quickly onto the deer-chasing stage. Xiao Junzhan had obviously noticed what was going on here and raised his eyes to look over.
Ning Hai looked subtle and whispered: "The three girls of the Jiang family are asking to see you outside your tent."
Xiao Junzhan held the hand holding the wine glass for a moment and said in a low tone: "No, tell her to get lost."
"She said she has something important to discuss with you." This was the first time Xu had seen such an invitation. Ning Hai mocked, "It's about Miss Wei."
Use your own sisters as a raft to get close to someone else’s husband... Which decent girl from another family can do such a thing.
Xiao Junzhan's eyes turned cold, he thought for a moment, and then stood up, "Then let's go and have a look."
He wanted to see what Miss Jiang San had to discuss about Ran Ran.
At the end of September, the autumn wind was cold. Jiang Zhixue stood quietly in front of the bright yellow tent. She was wearing a red brocade and gold cloak, which could not hide her slender figure. Her hair was gently pulled back, making her a girl with seven colors. , the more delicate she becomes.
There were footsteps behind her, and she turned around slightly. When she saw the person coming, she looked slightly happy and said respectfully, "My lord, please give your regards to your highness."
Xiao Junzhan walked straight into the camp as if he hadn't heard anything.
Ning Hai behind him raised his hand and whispered: "Please."
Jiang Zhixue's heart was pounding. After arriving in the capital, whether she was going out for a banquet or this autumn hunting, she had never received such cold treatment when she was with her little cousin.
The few times I dealt with this chamberlain, he smiled kindly and was extremely warm and considerate. But now, although he didn't express it clearly, he was full of ridicule.
She calmed down and walked in.
Xiao Junzhan was sitting next to the tea table, holding the white jade tea cup with his bony fingers and looking at the clear tea in front of him. His posture was pleasant and inexplicably majestic.
Jiang Zhixue bowed slightly and heard the clear voice of the man in front of him.
He said: "If you have anything to do, kneel down and report it."
"..." Jiang Zhixue paused, and the man looked at her with cold eyes, which sent chills down the spine. She bent her knees and knelt down immediately.
Xiao Junzhan withdrew his gaze and said, "Say it."
Just for a moment, Jiang Zhixue already had the intention to retreat. She had never thought that facing this person alone without Ran Ran would be in such a situation.
It was obvious that he was gentle and coaxing towards his cousin, and he was one of the few good husbands in the world.
Seeing her wandering in the sky, Ning Hai whispered: "Miss Jiang, please wake up. Your Highness's time is precious."
…cannot tolerate such expenditure.
Jiang Zhixue understood what he meant and recognized her own identity. Fortunately, she didn't have high expectations.
She took a deep breath, kowtowed and said, "I am here to share your worries with Your Highness."
Xiao Junzhan took a sip of the tea in the cup without raising his eyes.
Jiang Zhixue said: "Ran Ran has been injured in the past few days, but you haven't seen her come to see her. I guessed that you and Ran Ran were at odds, so I asked her a few questions, but her answer... was worrying."
She paused and saw that the person above her still did not speak. She hesitated for a few breaths and asked, "I dare to ask you, but you are dissatisfied with Ranran's unclear intentions."
Ning Hai secretly said something bad and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me directly. Your Highness is generous. Miss Jiang, please don't make any mistakes."
…You really just have to poke wherever it hurts. Can anyone poke His Highness’s sore spots? Miss Wei is confident. His Highness is willing to endure it for him no matter how angry he is, so what does anyone else mean to him?
"...Yes." What else could she do? All she could do was regret why she had come to do this.
She thought that although she came here with the selfish intention of trying to see if she could rise to the top, she also sincerely wanted to resolve the conflict between the two of them.
Have you ever thought that she could get involved in a fight between gods and immortals?
But now that they are here, Jiang Zhixue can only continue: "Let me tell you straight. I grew up with Ran Ran and know her very well. I can be sure that she will never treat you the same way." As she said, there is no affection.”
Xiao Junzhan's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and looked down: "Go on."
