The next day, the hunt officially began.

Because the most honorable person is Mu Zhan, generally speaking, he should say two scenes, but his character has always been impatient with these, no nonsense, and directly announced the start.

Hunting also has a competitive nature, of course, there is no shortage of lucky draws.

The prizes for the winners are displayed on the side, which are all treasures. The higher the difficulty of the prey, the better the prize.

For noble ministers, the prize is not necessarily the most important, the important thing is to get the emperor's blue eye in the hunting ground.

Wen Mingyu got on his horse, and he could feel the obscure gaze from all directions. Since the palace banquet, when he appeared in public, it would be like this. He was a little used to it.

This time, there are acquaintances.

Wei Ying is tall and strong, and his voice is first-class and loud. You don't have to meet people to know that he is there.

"Brother, can you do it?" "

Is it appropriate to say this to a man?"

"What... oh, you mean that, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I'm better than you anyway!"

Wei Yingwu was still there Laughing, but the voice didn't say no, it broke suddenly, and it felt like a duck being strangled by the neck.

Wen Mingyu looked over and found that Wei Yingwu was surrounded by a thin young man with a handsome and gentle appearance. Although his complexion was a little morbidly white, his back was straight and he had an indescribable temperament.

Wei Yingwu suddenly silenced just now, as if he was suppressed by the man who gave him a fluttering glance.

Wei Yingwu was a general, and immediately noticed Wen Mingyu's sight, looked over, and said something to the people next to him, and both of them came over on horseback.

After the introduction, Wen Mingyu and Wen Changlan knew each other.

Wen Mingyu knew that Wen Changlan was Wei Yingwu's cousin, and after listening to their conversation, he also found that Wen Changlan's body did not seem to be healthy.

Wei Yingwu was nervous, but he was obviously quite worried about this brother and didn't trust him alone. But Wen Changlan frowned and chased people away, and said with disgust, "You are too noisy, the movement is too loud, and the prey you are with will be scared away by you."

Wei Yingwu was dissatisfied, yowling like a husky, and quarreling is not possible. It must be reasonable, and the voice is strong enough to win, "You are too grumpy!"

But in the end, Wei Yingwu was kicked out of the group chat. When entering the hunting ground, he was alone, and his tall back revealed a sadness and resentment of being abandoned.

Wen Mingyu couldn't help but want to laugh.

In the next few days, Wen Mingyu was hunting, and her level gradually improved in practice. Most of the time, he is with Mu Zhan, and sometimes he will cooperate with Wei Yingwu and Wen Changlan to hunt big game.

Another day.

Everyone entered the hunting ground, some got into the dense forest, and some rode their horses to the grassland, and divided into several groups.

Mu Zhan wanted to hunt a big guy with the important minister and make a good start, so he didn't stay with Wen Mingyu for the time being.

When entering the forest, Wen Changlan was not far from Wen Mingyu, and he meant to hunt together. In fact, when Wen Changlan refused to go with Wei Yingwu on the first day, he faintly felt that Wen Changlan had something to say to him alone.

However, when they met, they were just talking about hunting, nothing else. Wen Mingyu thought she was too sensitive.

At this time, another person came to Wen Mingyu on horseback, smiled and talked, very familiar, as if he had a good relationship with Wen Mingyu, but in fact, Wen Mingyu only saw him for the fourth time.

That person's name is Chi Bibai, he always likes to laugh, and looks very happy to make friends. The first two times, I just met by chance during the hunting process and said hello. When Mu Zhan was away yesterday, he took the initiative to join in to help Wen Mingyu hunt.

Wen Mingyu was puzzled by his intention for a while, whether it was because of Mu Zhan that he also came to establish a good relationship and take the opportunity to test. He is not stupid, although every time he attends any event, many noble children will take the initiative to meet and talk, and they seem to respect him, but in fact they just want to obtain information through him, to see if it is worth using.

In this era, class distinction, family background, power, wealth, none of these, it is difficult to stand. Those aristocrats from aristocratic families are always high above, have their own circles, and do not allow others to squeeze in.

People came over with a smile, but Wen Mingyu couldn't ignore it directly. He could only add a couple of sentences, then turned around and chatted with Wen Changlan again, hoping that Chi Bibai would be able to leave on his own.

"Is this Sergeant Wen? I heard that this time we can win the battle, thanks to Mr. Wen's strategizing and resourcefulness, just like Mr. Wolong is alive."

Wen Changlan smiled modestly and rejected the compliment. Wen Mingyu found that his smile couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that after Chi Bibai came, Wen Changlan's words became less, and he didn't like the other party?

Wen Mingyu couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chi Bibai one more time. She was dressed in white and had a medium appearance, but her face was thin and her cheekbones were high, giving her a mean feeling.

He and Wen Changlan both look like literati, but when put together, they stand tall and low. Chi Bibai is like a copycat version, the more you look at it, the more incompatible it becomes.

When Chi Bibai saw Mingyu looking at him, his smile deepened and he was very enthusiastic. From the topic of hunting, he talked about the ferocious tiger that the sage had once hunted down in one fell swoop, and how brave and invincible the sage had led his troops to fight, killing dozens of enemy troops. Wan, how to torture and kill prisoners and so on.

The front is still normal, but listening and listening, Wen Mingyu feels that this is about to describe Mu Zhan as a hellish Asura evil ghost, only cruel killing kills and wastes life.

Is it intentional?

For what? Want him to be afraid of Mu Zhan?

At some point, Wen Changlan rode away, as if he had deliberately made space for the two of them to chat.

Wen Mingyu rode into the dense forest while listening carefully to the surrounding movement, and found the sound of animals running through the grass behind the left side, and turned decisively to pull the bow and shoot the arrow, but the prey responded very quickly, the arrow just brushed past, hurting him. Flesh, it burrowed into the bushes, disappeared, and fled like a fly.

Wen Mingyu took the arrow again and planned to shoot it again, but Chi Bibai interrupted him.

"You didn't have a chance to learn archery before, but it's already pretty good to be able to do it now."

Wen Mingyu: "..."

Is it his illusion? Why do I feel a little yin and yang.

But it didn't take long for Wen Mingyu to realize that it wasn't his overthinking at all, and Chi Bibai slowly revealed his intentions.

"Although there are rumors about how you flatter and cling to the monarch, I don't believe it. The first time I saw you, I thought you were very good. I know very well that the temper of the saint... some ups and downs, and sometimes it may hurt You, you are just pretending to protect yourself, you must have a hard time in the palace."

Wen Mingyu couldn't help but gave Chi Bibai a subtle look, as if looking at a rare animal. He didn't speak, Chi Bibai thought that he didn't believe in him, and continued to persuade, his mouth was like a perpetual motion machine, "I can understand you very well, if you have any troubles, if you don't mind, you can also treat me as a friend and tell me, I will Do what I can to help you."

"For example, leaving the palace..."

He lowered his voice so low that only the two of them could hear them.

Wen Mingyu finally didn't ignore it, but turned her head sharply and looked over, as if she was moved by what she said.

A trace of secret joy crossed Chi Bibai's face, feeling that her plan would succeed.

Wen Mingyu asked: "If you help me, won't you get into trouble? What if the sage is furious?"

Chi Bibai: "I have some connections in the capital, so I can arrange a house and money for you. , you don't have to worry, and I have known Shengshang since I was a child, even if I am discovered, I have a way."

Hearing that he had known Mu Zhan for a long time, Wen Mingyu had an inexplicable feeling of discomfort, and frowned slightly, "Jingcheng Right at the feet of the emperor, it is not easy to be found."

Chi Bibai: "The truth is that it is dark under the lights, but it is safer under the nose. They must think that you have escaped from the city and go out to search for you, and wait for the limelight to pass. It’s safer to go out of town.”

This is so right. He is extremely considerate and considerate. He is like a holy father who can't see the suffering of others and selflessly saves people from the fire pit.

The Holy Father here is not a compliment.

Because Wen Mingyu didn't believe him at all.

Wen Mingyu really wanted to run, but when she saw an opportunity, she would rush forward stupidly, appearing so agreeable, how did she know it wasn't a trap?

Moreover, listening to these words all the way, Wen Mingyu always felt a little green tea smell, and really didn't know what to say.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and a bad idea popped up in his heart.

Wen Mingyu frowned sadly, as if in pain, and sighed long, "I really didn't have a good time in the palace."

Chi Bibai's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly made an appearance of listening patiently.

"You don't know how hard I have been living. Every day, I have to accompany the saint to eat together. All kinds of delicious delicacies from mountains and seas, I would vomit..."

Chi Bibai nodded sympathetically, then widened. Eyes... wait, what are you talking about? ? ?

Wen Mingyu didn't seem to see his changed face, and continued to "pour the bitter water".

"I just want to eat some clear porridge and side dishes, why is it so difficult. Besides, do you know what I use to eat?"

Chi Bibai had a bad feeling and didn't want to hear it.

"Purple glaze auspicious cloud dragon pattern bowl. It was obviously used by the sage, but he insisted on letting me use it. The room is also full of treasures from the Treasure Pavilion, all of which are priceless. But the sage said it doesn't matter if it's broken. I'm willing to use the honor of those treasures. I even smashed a gilt cup and asked me to break a white suet pendant. If I didn't smash it, he would get angry and quarrel. I didn't pay attention to breaking several vases, and he laughed and said that the sound of smashing was too good."

Chi Bibai gritted his teeth: "..." Mother, I really want to hit people.

Wen Mingyu continued to use magic to defeat magic and became a master of Versailles pretentiousness, "You said that the saint has a bad temper? I think you may be mistaken, his patience is terrifying, he teaches me lessons every day, and personally teaches me to ride horses and archery, But who likes class, I just want to play, it's annoying."

"Your archery... was taught by the saint?" At this moment, Chi Bibai was like a duck strangled by the neck, her face even greener than his name .

"Yeah, you think he's annoying too, don't you?" Wen Mingyu pouted with disgust.

Chi Bibai laughed dryly, her face was very ugly, and she didn't want to believe it, "Are you kidding me? No matter how you hear it... it's not true. If the saint is so dear to you, why would you be left here alone."

Wen Ming Yu opened his mouth just as he was about to speak, but as if he saw something, his expression changed suddenly, he pulled the reins and made the horse change direction, looking like he wanted to sneak away.

Chi Bibai looked back and saw Mu Zhan who was riding towards here at a glance.

Chi Bibai thought of something in his heart, and then glanced at Wen Mingyu trying to hide, and felt more and more that he was just talking nonsense. Chi Bibai immediately raised her voice and shouted, "Your Majesty."

Mu Zhan looked over with a blank expression, his eyes passed Chi Bibai, he was about to move away indifferently, but in the next second he found Wen Mingyu hiding behind . He narrowed his eyes and rode over.

"Why don't you stay here?"

Chi Bibai thought that Mu Zhan was asking him, and answered quickly, and planned to expose Wen Mingyu's lie just now, "Your Highness..."

But just as he spoke, Mu Zhan followed suit. Seeing him, he directly crossed him and stopped in front of Wen Mingyu.

Wen Mingyu tilted her head, bent her lower lip reluctantly, and said pitifully, "The prey ran away and was missed."

Seeing him like this, Mu Zhan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched his head with gentle movements. With a clear consolation. It is normal for others to do this kind of thing, but this is Mu Zhan, the tyrant.

Chi Bibai was stunned, unable to believe it.

what's the situation? Could it be that what Wen Mingyu said just now is true?

Is this still a tyrannical tyrant who kills like a gangster?

Isn't it some kind of numb and sticky love-brain infatuation? !

Because he wanted to touch his head, Mu Zhan naturally had to be very close to Wen Mingyu, and the two horses under him were almost close to each other, and Mu Zhan's horse rubbed Wen Mingyu's horse with his nose intimately.

The two of them seemed to be a world of their own, and there was no room for others.

Chi Bibai seemed superfluous.

Mu Zhan didn't care about him at all. After touching Wen Mingyu's head, he said, "Go, I will continue to teach you."

Wen Mingyu smiled, "Okay." When the

two were about to leave, Wen Mingyu He suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head to point at Chi Bibai and said, "Your Majesty, he just said that my archery skills are poor."

Mu Zhan looked over.

Chi Bibai's heart skipped a beat, and a large drop of cold sweat dripped on his forehead, unable to hide his fear. He anxiously defended: "No, Wei Chen didn't say that..."

Mu Zhan didn't care about his defense at all, and said in a deep voice, "You said that his archery skills are not good, you must be very confident in yourself, let Gu take a look , how good is your archery."

Chi Bibai wanted to say something more, but when he met Mu Zhan's eyes, he couldn't say a word. Saw a passing fox and shot an arrow.

The fox screamed, turned and ran away nimbly. The arrow didn't even touch the fox's fur.

Wen Mingyu pretended to be stunned, gave a small wow, and said in a very admirable tone: "This archery technique is astonishing."

What kind of bad thoughts can the little rabbit have? He just wanted to compliment people.

What kind of bad thoughts can the little rabbit have? He just wanted to compliment people.

It's just that in this case of shooting in the air, the more sincere the praise, the more ironic it is.

Chi Bibai felt blood rushing up, her throat seemed to taste a fishy sweet taste, and she was about to vomit blood. But when Mu Zhan was here, he couldn't vent, and even apologized, "We are ignorant, and I offended Master Wen for a while, and I begged His Majesty to forgive me."

Mu Zhan said coldly: "You are ignorant, you have no self-knowledge, and you are rude to others. Apologize to him, what did you tell Gu?"

Chi Bibai choked, gritted her teeth, and bowed her head to apologize to Wen Mingyu.

Wen Mingyu saw that he was reluctant to bow his head, the depression in his heart dissipated, and he was a little relieved.

For him, things are over, but Mu Zhan is not so easy to deal with. Dare to provoke to come to the front, naturally will not end well. However, he glanced at Wen Mingyu next to him and knew that he was a little timid, so he changed his words and ordered: "Since you are so confident, go hunt a hundred prey and come back, small animals don't count. , and no one is allowed to help."

Chi Bibai's eyes widened. How is this possible? !

Mu Zhan's eyes turned cold.

He hurriedly lowered his head, "Wei Chen obeyed."

Then, he could only bow his head like this, watching the horses' hoofs on the ground go further and further, never daring to raise his head. Chi Bibai froze in place, as if he had become a stone statue, clenching his hands into fists, his strength was so great that blood was oozing out, his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

On the other hand, Wen Mingyu left this person behind without hesitation, forgetting very simply. An unimportant and disgusting person, thinking of him is a complete waste of time.

Without the disturbing people, Wen Mingyu really began to experience hunting.

Wen Mingyu, based on her hunting experience a few days ago, moved her horse forward and began to look for prey. He didn't stay with Mu Zhan, but they were not far apart. After all, the teacher will be dependent on his side. After he expressed this, Mu Zhan glanced at him, not sure.

After hunting a fox, he turned his head and found that Wen Changlan was not far behind him, talking to Mu Zhan.

Wen Changlan was unexpectedly sharp, and he noticed his gaze almost at the same time as Mu Zhan, and looked over. Wen Changlan gave him a gentle smile, with a literati and elegant temperament, it was easy to make people feel good. And although he looks weaker than ordinary people, he has strong insight and pays attention to strategy, and animals can't play him at all.

While Mu Zhan was hunting by himself, he would also instruct Wen Mingyu in a timely manner. Wen Changlan occasionally said a few words, but they were not out of line, and they got along surprisingly harmoniously.

Later, Wen Changlan took a chance, rode to Wen Mingyu's side, and whispered, "Chi Bibai used to be the companion of the Fourth Prince."

He didn't say much, but he was obviously reminding him that he was not trustworthy. Wen Mingyu remembered Mu Zhan's past, tortured by her biological mother, neglected by her father, and bullied by other brothers. Chi Bibai said she knew it, but it was not a good thing to think about it. As expected, she set a trap for him to jump in with malice.

Wen Mingyu suddenly thought of something, and said with a subtle expression: "What I said to Chi Bibai... Did you hear it?"

Wen Changlan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You mean—the sage is too fond of me. , I'm so distressed and troubled, what should I do?"
