The majestic voice pierced the eardrums, and Huo Qiu abruptly stopped, hearing the dissatisfied warning in the voice of the big bug, and deep black gathered in his pupils.
As soon as he stopped, the people behind him naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
"Tang Zhuozhao, come back!" The man's voice was filled with anger and unknown fear, and his hands were shaking when he drew the arrow from behind.
The wind in the forest carried the sweetness of the stream, and the dead leaves fell. It happened that a few pieces fell on the nose of the big worm. It stretched out two big yellow claws to scratch, like a child with a childlike innocence. .
Seeing this, Tang Zhuozhuo relaxed her slightly frowning brows. Knowing Huo Qiu's worry, she turned around and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Gulu is just here to play with my concubine, it doesn't hurt anyone."
Hearing this, Li Desheng, who had been following Huo Qiu, was almost unsteady, did he hurt anyone? With that roar just now, he even saw the undigested flesh foam in its bloody mouth, still stuck between its teeth.
My lord, that is a living and unrecognizable beast! How can there be such a psychic who can recognize someone from a few years ago
Huo Qiu took a deep breath, watched her step by step approaching the seemingly difficult long worm, and hated her never obedient temperament to death.
He wanted to go forward to protect her and pull her back, but he was afraid that the wild beast would bite her regardless. After all, it was the first time that Emperor Chongjian encountered such a situation in his life and could only sit and wait for death.
The back of the little woman couldn't be more slender, the long wind blew her hair and the silver bells on her snow-white ankles, the jingling ethereal and quiet, if it wasn't for a beast as quiet as a cat beside her, Emperor Chongjian Even to be blinded again.
Gulu jumped down from the stone, drawing a vigorous arc with light movements. Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes flashed a little nervous. Seeing it slowly approaching, he tentatively whispered: "Gulu?"
It suddenly released a few low growls from its throat, not very satisfied with this title.
Tang Zhuozhuo heaved a sigh of relief at the same movements as when she was a child, she slightly bent her eyes, and half of her profile was unbelievably soft.
Gulu was rescued by her and Zhu Liu together. At that time, they happened to meet Roof Tower Mu. After such a long time, she still remembers the expression of Zhu Liu stumbling forward to talk with a blushing face.
It's just that compared to two years ago, Gulu's figure was more than five or six times bigger. His long tail swept over Tang Zhuozhao's heels. She raised her foot to hide, but Gulu firmly held her foot with two paws.
Everyone suffocated for breath, Huo Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the arrow on the string was about to go off.
Tang Zhuozhao himself was taken aback, and he didn't feel any pain when he came back to his senses. Gulu didn't forget to put away his long and sharp claws.
It stretched out one of its front paws and touched the bell on Tang Zhuozhao's ankle. The clear and crisp sound lasted for a long time. Seeing that it was so playful, Tang Zhuozhao had no choice but to reach out and rub his fat head.
Once the signal is sent out, it won't be long before all the people will gather here. If she sees Gulu, she won't worry about the crowd.
Tang Zhuozhao pushed it deep into the forest a few times and said, "Go back."
When Gulu saw the person he wanted to see, he was in a very good mood. Finally, he rubbed his head against Tang Zhuozhao's white and tender hand, grunting in his throat, and finally jumped onto a boulder, and yelled a few times at the person who shot an arrow at it. The sound and roar spread far away, and when everyone came back to their senses, how could there be any shadow of the big bug
If it weren't for the dull pain in the ears, many people would think that they were just dreaming.
Tang Zhuozhuo looked at the direction deep in the forest with some regret, and walked back to Huo Qiu with his head down after a while.
The latter's complexion is no longer enough to describe in black.
In the silence, Rooftamu touched his nose and said angrily, "I obviously saved it, why did it grin at me when it saw me?"
Naturally, there was no need to mention the rest. On the first day of the autumn hunting, although the process was a bit thrilling, they deservedly won the championship just by bringing back the corpses of the seven or eight jackals.
At noon, Tang Zhuozhuo was terrified and didn't dare to stay by Huo Qiu's side. When Li Desheng came in and asked if he wanted to go to the stable to pick horses together, he refused without thinking about the excuse of having a headache.
In the stable, Huo Qiu listened to Liu Hanjiang's methodical analysis of the current situation, and happened to see Li Desheng come back to his command, just seeing his faltering look, he knew it in his heart.
"After all, is it a headache or an abdominal pain?" He changed into a robe, but the color remained the same, and the appearance of smiling without anger made one's heart chill.
Li Desheng smiled embarrassingly, and stumbled back: "My mother said... that I rode a horse in the morning, and it will give me a headache."
"..."
Liu Hanjiang paused when he spoke, and coughed after a while, before he wanted to continue speaking in a gentle manner, when Huo Qiu snorted coldly. For some reason, this was the first time he heard it from the calm and self-sufficient emperor. Dissatisfaction and slight grievances.
In this world, everything falls from one thing to another.
The scenery of the grassland is very different from that of Kyoto. The sun is shining, and the white clouds are piled up in an unknown shape. Even the wind blowing over has a little fragrance of green grass.
Zhu Liu grandly entered Tang Zhuozhao's tent under the eyes of everyone, and sat there for the whole afternoon.
Tang Zhuozhao was lying on the soft cushion. He didn't feel anything when he bumped all the way before, but when he came back to rest, his whole body really hurt.
Her creamy fingers were hanging on the armrest, her five slender fingers were very seductive, a very moist jade bracelet was loosely wrapped around her wrist, and the soft quilt was gently moved around her waist. In such an atmosphere, even her The words spoken are also soft and delicate.
Zhu Liu was used to seeing her like this, and picked out the key points in her words to listen to. When she knew that Gulu had come to look for her, her eyes flickered a few times, but she didn't ask anything in the end.
As soon as Gulu was mentioned, she couldn't help but think of him, and the overwhelming memories were too turbulent for her to hold back.
The best way is not to mention it.
But she didn't mention it, but Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't let the two of them go. She half stood up, slowly raised her eyelids and said very casually: "I don't understand how to annoy you when I look at the roof screen."
"What happened between the two of you?"
Zhu Liu's complexion turned cold inch by inch. Seeing her like this, Tang Zhuozhuo sighed inwardly, stretched out his finger and tapped the back of her hand, and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to say that you have your reasons, you should teach him some lessons." Try it."
Only later will I know how to cherish it.
Zhu Liu was made to smile by what she said, with a hint of weariness in her smile, "I had an argument with my mother and concubine last night, and was called into the tent by my father just now, although I didn't mention the matter of entering the palace again. , I looked at the formation, but I wanted to use this autumn hunt to show me an outstanding young master."
Tang Zhuozhuo opened her almond eyes wide. Although she still felt a little surprised, it was reasonable to think about it carefully, so she turned her head and asked, "Then what's your idea?"
Zhu Liu is wearing a light blue long dress today, with a large string of bracelets on her wrists. It looks like an uncommon style, but it adds a bit of exotic style.
She listened to Tang Zhuozhuo's question, her expression was lonely, she couldn't help but want to laugh, her long eyelashes covered all the thoughts in her eyes.
"What else can I think of myself? My father, queen, mother and concubine have already worried a lot for me and Zhu Lu, and now that Zhu Lu is so virtuous, if I still cause trouble for them, it would be better to be hanged." It’s better to go to the temple to be an aunt with hair.”
Tang Zhuozhuo didn't make a sound after hearing this.
She understands that kind of feeling too well, just like when she didn't speak a few words to Huo Qiu back then, but when she was going to marry into the East Palace and be his concubine, she was still thinking about her relatives in the mansion, and thinking about every little thing from childhood to adulthood. In a sedan chair.
It's just that now, the joy is far more than the pain at that time.
Tang Zhuozhao opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything to comfort Zhu Liu, he could only shake her hand firmly, "Since that's the case, let's not be in a hurry, take your time, we must choose someone with good character."
Zhu Liu smiled a little forcedly, but didn't speak.
I'm afraid that no matter how good her conduct is, she won't be able to make her blush again.
After Zhu Liu left, Tang Zhuozhuo's waist was really sore. An Xia stood beside her and rubbed her. Hearing her hissing air-conditioning, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "I advised you not to go hunting, your mother." The body has not recovered well, and it will be so bumpy and dangerous again soon, isn't it just going to hurt for a while?"
Tang Zhuozhuo put a piece of milk into his mouth, and the sweet and fragrant taste of milk spread into his heart, and he said vaguely: "You guys, I don't feel sorry for Bengong at all. You've been nagging me about it now, wait The meeting will have to be talked about by your majesty."
I'm afraid that man is still angry right now.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't help but feel a little headache.
She didn't hide many things deliberately, and she did expect that the man would find out some clues, so she didn't rush to clarify.
There are some things that are more effective than words. She is lazy and afraid of trouble. For example, about Jiang Jianxi, if she talks about it from the beginning to the end, she is still dazed in several places. That man is so smart, how can he believe it
As for the medicine powder in the morning, he started to prepare it when he told her that he wanted to hunt in autumn, and he was afraid of this kind of situation.
It's all like that, the man is about to send him away, if she doesn't sprinkle the powder, she will definitely fight endlessly, the wild beasts in the forest are fierce, and they bite people But not soft-spoken.
It happened that when a gust of wind passed by, she scattered the medicine, which saved time and effort, and she did it without anyone noticing. Who would have expected that man's eyes to be so sharp
===
Zhu Liu had just come out of Tang Zhuozhao's tent, and stopped inadvertently when returning to her own tent, and saw Rotamu standing in the paddock not far away, and standing beside her was the pretty and lovely girl from two years ago. The woman seemed to have noticed her gaze, and the girl turned her head and smiled at her.
Really dazzling.
Zhu Liu crumpled the handkerchief in her hand, but smiled politely and alienated on her face, turned and entered her tent without looking over there again.
No movement could be seen on the dark face of the roof curtain, Mu Ge stretched out his hand and pushed his arm, in exchange for him to glance at it indifferently.
"That's the Central Plains girl that Khan wants to marry?" Mu Ge smiled, showing a row of white teeth.
Wu Tamu felt a little irritable, and asked with a frown, "Could it be that you women are all so fickle?"
Obviously, two years ago, he was the one who tried to politely reject that little girl who was not yet ready, why now he came here with the greatest sincerity and dowry, but she didn't like to answer her, seeing him was almost like seeing a scourge .
Mu Ge's eyes lit up, she looked up and down the roof screen, caught something in the blink of an eye, and asked: "Is Miss Jiayuan not looking down on you?"
"I heard that the girl is the county head of the palace, and she has a good relationship with the queen. Her status is extremely noble, and the people who came to marry her broke the threshold."
When Wutamu heard the last sentence, his eyes fluctuated violently.
This girl couldn't be because she fell in love with someone else, right
Mu Ge looked at his face, finally sighed, and persuaded: "If it's really not possible, don't force it."
The hand hanging by the side of the roof curtain slowly clenched into a fist, his eyes were far away, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he turned and left.
Mu Ge slowly suppressed the smile on his face, and said to the maid beside him: "Just ask, I want to meet this Liuli county master tonight."
The moon is full tonight, and it is difficult for many female relatives to go out. Now they see the disc hanging in the sky that seems to be within reach, and they all come out of the tent to look up.
The light and thin moonlight attracts people, as if a layer of tulle has been cast on a person's body, light but not transparent, bright but not brilliant, soft and beautiful.
With a cold temper, Zhu Liu purposely chose a secluded grassland far away, put a handkerchief under her body, and rested her chin on her jade hand. In such a soft night, the complicated thoughts during the day finally calmed down.
When Mu Ge found this place, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked softly, "Master Liuli, can I have a few words with you?"
Zhu Liu didn't even lift her eyelids, but the corners of her mouth curled up a little coldly, her voice was a little hoarse, but extremely soft, "Say it."
Mu Ge didn't care either, she sat down next to Zhu Liu, her already pretty face was even softer than it should be.
"I am also a girl from the Central Plains, but my parents lost their lives when they traveled far away in Mongolia, so I was taken in by the former Mongolian Khan and recognized as an adopted daughter."
She tilted her head, squinted her eyes and smiled slightly, and continued: "Khan has a strong temper, and sometimes he can't turn his head around, but I know that the changes in the county lord's attitude are all because of me, right?"
"Because I hugged him during the autumn hunt last time?"
Zhu Liu opened her eyes, with unknown emotions flickering in her deep black pupils, she slowly reminded: "The girl has spoken beyond the norm."
Regardless of whether it is the Central Plains or Mongolia, there are strict rules and regulations. She is the head of the county, but Mu Ge is just the foster sister of a Khan.
Mu Ge was taken aback for a moment, but quickly reacted. She was not annoyed at all, and brushed a strand of long hair from her sideburns, smiling very friendly.
"The county lord was born beautiful and noble, and there are many suitors. Why did he only fall in love with a Khan who was born on the vast grassland?"
Zhu Liu sat up straight, her eyes were not angry but mighty, anyone who knew her well knew that she was already angry.
But Mu Ge didn't know, maybe it wasn't that he didn't know, he just pretended to be confused.
They all understand that even if Mu Ge is really insulting, for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, the matter will only be let go.
"Muge grows up so big, and seeing the young eagle finally dominate one side, the first thing he wants to do after unifying the tribe is to come to the Central Plains to ask for a noble daughter from the palace."
Mu Ge's expression was a bit downcast in the darkness, his long eyelashes drooped down to cover the black eyes, just when Zhu Liu thought she would not speak anymore, she suddenly raised her head.
"Today, Mu Ge took the liberty to come here to warn the county magistrate."
"Khan will not be happy with the county master, because the county master doesn't understand the blood and revenge in the hearts of Mongolians." She swallowed, looked directly at the vermilion face and said: "The county master is definitely not happy. Khan is with other women, but I can tolerate it."
After finishing speaking, Mu Ge stood up, the corners of her skirt fluttered slightly with a gust of wind, and then put one hand on her chest, and made a deep Mongolian salute to Zhu Liu, "I hope the county lord will forgive Mu Ge for bothering you."
Zhu Liu didn't speak any more, just sat on the grass, and sat for the whole night.
And when the stars dotted the sky and the moonlight fell on the earth, Tang Zhuozhuo wore a beige cloak and entered Emperor Chongjian's tent under the cover of night.
There are many soldiers around, and the cold armor is glowing with a faint light.
When Tang Zhuozhuo entered, the man was tall and tall, standing in front of the desk and painting carefully. Seeing her coming, he put the scroll in Li Desheng's hands and told him to take it away and put it away.
Tang Zhuozhuo blessed Fushen, and from the corner of his eye, he saw a woman's back, and there was a pale blood moon in front of her back.
She tilted her head indifferently, and saw that there was a fire burning in the tent, and the sizzling young lamb was roasting on the fire.
The aroma was overflowing, every strand of it floated into the nostrils, Tang Zhuozhao pursed his lips, a little greedy.
Huo Qiu sat at the desk, he didn't say a word, and she didn't know what to say. For a while, except for the occasional crackling of the fire, the tent was eerily quiet.
Tang Zhuozhao knew she was wrong, she walked slowly to the man's side, without saying a word, just stretched out a small hand to grab his sleeve, pulling it lightly.
This is her usual trick.
The man was indifferent, and didn't even give her a look. For some reason, Tang Zhuozhao remembered his indifferent and alienated letting go in the morning, and suddenly felt like a big ball of cotton was stuck in his heart.
It's really sad.
Tang Zhuozhuo walked around behind the man, wrapped his two slender arms around the man's shoulders, and felt that his body froze very slightly.
Huo Qiu cursed inwardly, he didn't know whether it was because he was angry at his lack of prospects or something else, his face sank again and again.
Tang Zhuozhao was most afraid of his sullen and silent appearance, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but just rubbed his neck with a cool face.
Her breath carried a familiar sweet scent, and Huo Qiu suddenly closed his eyes, realizing that he couldn't resist it at all.
With a dangerously hoarse voice, he grabbed her slender fingers and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Did not call her Jiaojiao, and did not even call herself Zhen.
just you and me.
Tang Zhuozhao pursed his lips, silently lowered the arms around him, his long and curly eyelashes drooped down, the roots were distinct, and he looked innocent, even a man couldn't bear to ask any more.
Huo Qiu had no choice but to force himself not to look at her.
"Why do you not believe me so much?"
Why don't you believe what I said to protect you well
Tang Zhuozhuo was still slightly trembling by the fingers he was holding in the palm of his hand. His questioning was like a blunt knife, but it was still enough to scrape away the carrion in her heart until it penetrated to the bone.
This man really had nothing to say to her, even if it was the small gestures she made under his nose, he turned a blind eye to them and let her do what he did.
And when she was lazy and tired, and didn't want to care about those messy things, he was the one who quietly dealt with all the things that were pressing on her heart.
As time passed, she got used to hiding her thoughts. When she was with him, it was easy to make jokes, but she forgot how uncomfortable he was hiding in his heart.
She didn't tell him anything!
Just like in the previous life, Huo Qiu didn't tell himself anything about his thoughts.
How miserable he is!
Tang Zhuozhuo felt that her throat was a little dry, she pursed her lips, and retorted softly: "No."
"It's just that I don't know how to tell the emperor, and I don't know if the emperor will believe it."
Huo Qiu pinched her snow-white chin, forced her to meet his dark pupils, and said firmly, "As long as Jiaojiao says it, I will believe it."
This is not the first time he has said this to her, but there has never been a more touching time than this time.
Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes were clear, and the tear mole at the corner of the eye seemed to be shining, which was enough to make people fascinated. She clutched her pinched chin, covered the tears in her eyes, and said: "What does the emperor want to know, Why don't you ask?"
She had never distrusted him. As early as when he had the plague and wanted to send her back to Beijing regardless of her health, she no longer distrusted him.
Huo Qiu smiled slowly, the smile reaching his eyes, he lowered his head again as she wanted, and asked, "When did Jiaojiao and Jiang Jianxi meet?"
"When I was thirteen years old, my concubine almost died of illness. My parents had no choice but to send my concubine to the temple, hoping that the gods and Buddhas would bless the disease and the disaster would subside." Tang Zhuozhuo's final voice trembled, obviously it was a very normal speech, When it came into her mouth, there was a hint of cowardice.
Huo Qiu's expression was a little strange, he was silent for a moment, and asked another question, "Is Jiaojiao familiar with that house tower curtain?"
Tang Zhuozhuo hit the snake on the stick, squeezed his firm chin with his small hands, and was a little painful when he was poked by the black and blue stubble, so he couldn't help scratching a few more times before answering his question.
"It's not considered familiar, just met a few times."
Tang Zhuozhuo tilted his head, a strange expression appeared on his pretty face, he messed up Huo Qiu's robe and asked, "What do you think of this person, Your Majesty?"
Huo Qiu's hands around her waist couldn't help tightening, and his voice sounded a little warning: "No matter what, it has nothing to do with Jiaojiao, instead of worrying about the man next to me, Jiaojiao should spend more time on me. "
Huo Qiu couldn't help feeling sour when he thought that she had been so close to other men, knowing that she shouldn't.
He's jealous as hell!
He bit the man next to him very hard, Tang Zhuozhuo was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Your Majesty thinks that Liuli County Lord can make a good match with him?"
