Views:

Ning Hong pursed his lips tightly, his small face changed several colors, then he grabbed Xue Mu's trousers and looked at him with wide eyes: "Uncle!"

Haha, I will report. Liu Qinghuan looked at him with a reasonable look: "Things are impermanent, even if you can dance swords and knives, you may fall into the river and drown. Even if you can swim, you may choke to death while eating, drinking Choked to death while walking, fell to death while walking..." Liu Qinghuan finally revealed the profound meaning of this story after stating the 108 ways of death, "So, instead of practicing martial arts, you should do it now. The most important thing is to grow up safely."

Ning Hong: "..."

It is not easy for him to live to be six years old.

Ning Hong pursed his lips and turned his head away, just in time to see Ning Shi walking over here with a few maidservants. His eyes lit up, and he flew up again: "Auntie!"

Ning patted his head and couldn't close her mouth with a smile: "Good boy, Hong'er seems to have grown taller again."

Liu Qinghuan and Xue Mu also went up to greet her, Xue Mu asked while supporting her, "Mother, why did you come out?"

Ning said: "I saw that the weather is fine today, and I heard that you are all in the garden, so I came out to have a look. It's not good to be bored in the house all the time." After she finished speaking, she pulled Ning Hong to her, "You Look, your cousin's child is so old, you haven't even touched your own wife's hand, right?"

Liu Qinghuan: "..."

The old lady is really ruthless when she trains people. She secretly took a look at Xue Mu, and his expression was indeed a bit ugly. Seeing Xue Mu being scolded, Ning Hong quickly stood up and spoke for his cousin: "What's so good about my cousin's hands, all the ladies in Pingkangfang are cuter than her."

Liu Qinghuan: "..."

It seems that what he did just now was not black enough.

Ning Hong looked at Liu Qinghuan triumphantly, but Ning Shi felt a little embarrassed. She took Ning Hong's hand and said with a smile: "Hong'er, let's go play with my aunt. My aunt has prepared a lot of snacks."

Ning Hong happily agreed, and after Ning Shi and Ning Hong walked away, Liu Qinghuan glanced at Xue Mu standing beside her, and stretched out her hand: "Touch it for you, next time Auntie won't be able to do it again." I made fun of you with this."

Xue Mu looked at her and chuckled twice, and held her hand. Liu Qinghuan asked: "How is it compared to the ladies in Pingkangfang?"

Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't listen to Hong'er's nonsense." He paused, and then asked, "Are you dissatisfied that Aunt called Hong'er on purpose, and that's why you bullied him?"

Liu Qinghuan pursed her lips: "How can I be so stingy." She was even more stingy than this.

Xue Mu looked at her, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes: "You are exactly the same as when you were a child."

Liu Qinghuan's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't make another sound. Xue Mu thought for a while and asked, "Tomorrow, the emperor and the princess are going to hunt in the Western Mountains. Does Qingqing want to go together?"

Liu Qinghuan blinked: "Can I go together?"

Xue Mu said: "I will play the Emperor Ming."

"That's great! I'll go get ready first!" Liu Qinghuan greeted Chitaoqingzhi, and was about to go into the house. Xue Mu held her back and said, "Go to the stables to choose a horse first, and let Chitao Qingzhi prepare the rest."

"good!"

In the palace, Emperor Yan was reviewing the memorial, when Yongfu walked in angrily: "Brother Huang, I heard that Xue Mu wants to take Liu Qinghuan to hunt together?"

Emperor Yan nodded, but his eyes still did not leave the memorial: "It is true, but Yongfu, you are really getting more and more unruly, and you don't ask anyone to come to the palace to report?"

Yongfu is not in the mood to discuss the rules with him now, she walked up to Emperor Yan and frowned at him: "You agree?"

"Um."

Yongfu was furious immediately: "You know the relationship between me and her, why do you still agree?!"

Emperor Yan frowned, and finally raised his head to look at her: "Is this your attitude towards Brother Huang?"

Yongfu pursed his lips and didn't make another sound. Emperor Yan looked at her, thinking that this younger sister was really spoiled by him.

"If there is nothing else, you can go back first." Emperor Yan lowered his head and continued to read the memorial. Yongfu stared at him for a long time, seeing that he really didn't pay attention to him, he left angrily.

Liu Qinghuan chose a horse in the stable, Xue Mu said that this horse will be hers from now on, if she wants to travel, she can ride on it.

Liu Qinghuan was happy in her heart, but it was a bit embarrassing to cheat Lord Hou of money and sex like this.

Only a little bit.

After returning to the room, Chi Tao and Qing Zhi were busy preparing her clothes for hunting tomorrow, Liu Qinghuan sat on the seat fanning herself, and saw a figure flash past the window.

"Master asked you to start hunting tomorrow."

That person spoke extremely fast, and after he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace as if he had never been here. If Liu Qinghuan hadn't remembered her voice, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

Her brows were slightly frowned, the matter of hunting tomorrow was only decided a few hours ago, their master gave the order so quickly, the news is really well-informed. Moreover, she had met Xue Mu's three subordinates before, and all three of them were not weak in martial arts. Did she really not notice that there was a spy in the Hou's mansion, or did she let it go on purpose

"Ma'am, try to see if this suit fits you well." Qing Zhi came in carrying a men's dress, followed by Chi Tao.

Liu Qinghuan stood up and cooperated with them in changing her clothes. As for the master's order... Who cares about you.

On the second day, Liu Qinghuan put on men's clothes and boots, and followed Xue Mu to ride to Xishan. Besides himself, Xue Mu also brought a lynx, a cheetah, and several hounds.

Hmm, that seems a bit wrong.

Liu Qinghuan originally thought that the team was a little exaggerated, but after passing through, she realized that almost everyone brought lynx and cheetah, and some brought birds such as hawks and harriers.

The so-called hunting is that the servants drive the animals in the mountains to a designated place, and then the elders ride horses to hunt them down. The animals were already frightened, but they had to face a group of cheetahs, hounds, and harriers... perhaps they could be scared faint.

This exercise is really not challenging at all.

Liu Qinghuan followed Xue Mu on horseback, chasing a deer in front of him. Xue Mu put a lynx behind her horse, it looked very cute, and she doubted whether this guy could save her when she was in danger.

Yongfu caught up with them from the side on his horse, and when he passed by Liu Qinghuan, he didn't forget to give her a glare. Liu Qinghuan twitched the corners of her mouth and ignored her.

The sound of gongs, drums and shouts came and went, and the horse under Liu Qinghuan suddenly staggered and knelt on the ground with its front hooves bent. As soon as the rein in her hand was loosened, she was about to be thrown out. Xue Mu quickly jumped up from the horse, caught Liu Qinghuan, and fell to the ground together.

After standing still, Xue Mu frowned slightly and looked at the person in his arms: "Qingqing, is there any injury?"

"No." Liu Qinghuan let out a sigh of relief, but luckily there was no danger. The most gratifying thing is that the lynx jumped off the horse after seeing him falling off the horse, and he must reward it well when he returns.

Just as Liu Qinghuan was about to mount his horse again, he saw a cheetah flying towards him like lightning. Her gaze was fixed, and she subconsciously wanted to push Xue Mu away, but Xue Mu stepped in front of her first, and punched the cheetah on the head.

The cheetah let out a long roar, the sound was deafening. Following it was like being sucked out of the soul, and fell to a place a few steps away with a "boom", stirring up dust all over the ground.

Liu Qinghuan was so startled by this scene that she couldn't recover for a moment. She always felt that Xue Mu was not like the other generals, who possessed a murderous aura, but Xue Mu's sudden burst of aura just now shocked her so that she couldn't move.

The huge movement here attracted the attention of the others. Yongfu drove his horse back, and when he saw the cheetah lying on the ground, he quickly got off his horse and said, "The parachutist!"

She yelled, but the cheetah's skull on the ground was shattered, and it was dead. She raised her head and stared at Xue Mu angrily: "You killed my parachutist?!"

Xue Mu pursed his lips, and replied: "Just now the parachutist suddenly attacked the minister, and the minister beat it to death in a moment of impatience. I hope the princess will learn from it."

Yongfu looked at Liu Qinghuan, who was protected by him behind him, and suddenly burned with anger: "It must be for Liu Qinghuan again!" She stood up from the ground, walked quickly to Liu Qinghuan, "You killed my parachute, this princess wants you to kill me!" life for a life!"

"Yongfu, what are you making trouble about?" Emperor Yan rode his horse back from the front, he looked at the situation in front of him, and roughly guessed the whole story. Yongfu didn't answer, just turned his head and looked at him with red eyes.

Xue Mu walked up to Emperor Yan and knelt down: "I just fell off my horse when I was chasing a small deer. The parachutist thought I was a prey and suddenly attacked me. In a moment of desperation, I punched it to death."

As soon as Xue Mu's words fell, the ministers who returned with the emperor immediately made a small noise in surprise—what? ! General Xue actually killed the princess's cheetah? ! No... General Xue actually punched the princess's cheetah to death? !

... The title of Dacheng's first God of War is really not something to brag about.

Hearing what he said, Yongfu retorted loudly: "With your martial arts, you will fall off the horse? It must be because of Liu Qinghuan!"

Xue Mudao: "It was the minister who killed the parachutist. If the princess wants to punish him, she should punish the minister."

Yongfu bit the corner of his mouth and looked at him, but didn't speak any more. Emperor Yan asked Xue Mu to get up, and turned to Yongfu, "Sue Mu is certainly at fault for this matter, but you are also at fault for not taking good care of your cheetah and letting it hurt people."

Yongfu glanced at Emperor Yan, and asked indignantly: "Then let's forget about this matter?"

Emperor Yan had no choice but to ask Xue Mu again: "You killed the princess's cheetah, how do you plan to compensate?"

Xue Mu thought for a while and said, "There is a captured local leopard in the minister's residence. If the princess does not dislike it, I would like to give it to the princess as an apology."

Yongfu snorted suddenly when he heard the words: "I have asked you for that little leopard many times before, but you were reluctant to give it to me. Now it is very refreshing for her!"

Xue Mu lowered his eyes and did not answer, Yongfu got on the horse, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, turned around and shouted to Xue Mu: "Little Leopard, I will send someone to your house to get it!"

Yongfu left with his attendants on horseback. Emperor Yan ordered people to pack up the body of the parachutist, and led the crowd to continue hunting.

Liu Qinghuan walked up to Xue Mu, looked at his right hand, the skin on the back of the hand was torn, and there was still a light red oozing. She frowned and said, "Master Hou, the wound should be bandaged sooner."

Xue Mudao: "It's okay, it's nothing compared to the injuries I suffered on the battlefield."

Liu Qinghuan pursed her lips, remembering the scene of Xue Mu teasing the little leopard that day, she felt a little sorry for him: "I'm sorry, you obviously like a little bit so much..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xue Mu: "No matter how much you like her, it's not one-thousandth of Qingqing's."

Liu Qinghuan's eyes moved, and she felt like she was being fooled.

To be a qualified liar, the most basic thing is to be able to deceive others without blushing or panting. For liars, cheating others' trust is not something worth blushing and panting. There will be apologies.

But now facing Xue Mu, she actually felt ashamed.

If Master found out, would he beat her to death directly...

Afterwards, Xue Mu returned to the Hou Mansion early because of his injury. Liu Qinghuan bandaged his wound and reminded him not to get wet for a few days. Not long after they returned to Hou Mansion, Tang Zibo received the news.

When he learned that Xue Mu had returned to the Hou's Mansion safely, his expression was really a little bit bad. A person in the hall glanced at him sideways, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Didn't you say that Liu Qinghuan likes you to death, and she will do whatever you ask her to do?"

Tang Zibo narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man, his hands beside him clenched tightly into fists.
