If you want to win the game, of course you can't run around like a headless fly. Prey is not determined by quantity, quality is more important, and prey that is difficult to hunt is a bonus.
Therefore, Wen Mingyu planned in his mind what to hunt, and in a limited time, it was more efficient. Deer, wild boar, wolf, raccoon dog, and hozen were taken into consideration, as well as the lynx mentioned by Huo Hongyu when he came to say that he was going to compete with him.
The lynx looks like a cat, but it is much larger than a cat. It reacts quickly and runs fast. It is good at using bushes, trees, stones, etc. as shelters. It has excellent hunting patience and can lie quietly for several days. Not moving, a swoop, and the prey was killed before it could react.
So, hunting lynx is not easy.
Although he mainly did the one he hunted yesterday, Mu Zhan properly blocked the lynx's escape route and created a chance for him, otherwise he would not have succeeded so quickly.
The lynx's score is not low, Wen Mingyu thought about it, and set up time for herself to hunt, it is really impossible to switch to another target.
Luckily, he found a lynx shortly after.
Thinking of what Mu Zhan had taught me, I was going to sneak past and ambush and attack.
The lynx catches the sparrow, and the jade cub is behind.
He was thinking about the best time to attack, and out of the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently aimed at Mu Zhan, who was approaching, silently, planning to do something.
Wen Mingyu saw at a glance that he also had to deal with that lynx.
Wen Mingyu quickly waved his hand and told him not to help.
Mu Zhan smiled, opened his mouth and said silently - who said I wanted to help you.
That's to grab the prey? !
unacceptable!
Wen Mingyu's eyes lit up with two clusters of flames, and he was full of anger, but at this critical moment, of course, he couldn't swear, it would scare the prey away.
So, he pursed his lips, looked at Mu Zhan eagerly, put his hands together, and made a begging gesture. Such an expression on a pretty face is really hard to refuse, but Mu Zhangou is not once or twice, and often gets angry when he hears Mingyu's hair.
This time, it was rare for Mu Zhan to make a comeback.
Mu Zhan glanced into the bushes and gestured. Wen Mingyu received the message in an instant, pulled the bow to shoot arrows, one shot was not enough, and quickly made up another shot and took down the lynx.
Wen Mingyu jumped up in surprise, then turned her head to look at Mu Zhan subconsciously, begging for compliments on her face.
Mu Zhan was not stingy, nodded and said, "Not bad."
All the way down, Mu Zhan followed Wen Mingyu slowly, watching without interfering, and occasionally hunting a few prey that came to his door, of course, this was counted on his own account.
Wen Mingyu's side was very smooth, but Huo Hongyu's side was not very good. There were only a few prey, and most of them were small animals.
It's not that he's not good at hunting, it's just that he was unlucky today. When he was about to hunt lynx, he accidentally provoked a badger.
Of course he had thought about getting rid of this badger, but it was very ferocious.
When he was chasing the lynx, he happened to bump into Wen Mingyu, saw so many trophies from him, looked back at his own, and almost cried out.
He is likely to lose!
He is in a hurry!
He doesn't want to be a dog at all!
Wen Mingyu inadvertently looked at him, wanting to say that he didn't actually want to bully a junior high school student, and the bet can be voided.
But Huo Hongyu was very stubborn and sincere. When he got anxious, he was angry with himself, almost stupid. He was hiding tightly because the prey was running around.
He bent down and stretched out his hand to grab it, while running forward like crazy, just looking at the back, he was shocked by how hard he was rolling and crawling, too hard!
Wen Mingyu was stunned, unable to speak for a while.
Finally, Huo Hongyu caught it and got up from the bushes. However, the appearance of the aristocratic little boy from before was completely gone, his clothes had rubbed a lot of dirt, his face was dirty in several places, his hair was messy, and even a few long grasses were stuck on top of his head. Finally, he held a … pheasants.
He was transformed into a foolish son of the landlord's family.
Huo Hongyu was chasing the lynx. When he saw a shadow, he didn't even want to reach out and grab it. He was overjoyed when he caught it, but when he stood up and saw it, it was actually a fucking chicken!
Huo Hongyu regarded it as stiff and turned into a stone.
"Gluck cluck cluck!!!"
The pheasant in his hand fluttered its wings, posing in a posture of yearning for freedom, and its cry was extremely high.
Huo Hongyu was dumbfounded, and the expression on his face began to collapse.
He loosened his hand, and threw the pheasant out as if he had taken a hot potato.
This pheasant is a chicken that is good at seizing opportunities. Immediately after getting out of trouble, he flapped his wings and flew forward. He ran very quickly and effortlessly. For some reason, he looked back at Huo Hongyu.
Wen Mingyu suspected that there might be something wrong with his eyes, and he actually saw contempt in a corn - are you a human being insane? Scared the chicken to death!
After Huo Hongyu finished tossing, he stood for a while without moving, as if he had not recovered from the huge embarrassment and sadness, and then slowly turned around and climbed onto his horse in an unusually decadent manner.
Considering that people have strong self-esteem when they are teenagers, Wen Mingyu silently turned around and walked away early, saying that he didn't see anything.
When the time came, the two of them had to count their prey to complete the bet.
Wen Mingyu wanted to pretend that there was no such thing and just pass by, but Huo Hongyu patted his chest hard to show that he was a manly man, and that he was hard to chase after saying a word.
When Wen Mingyu looked at his face, he remembered how he was holding a chicken. It was very difficult for him to hold back his laughter. He almost suffered internal injuries and was about to die.
After deciding to continue the bet, the two stood, a silent embarrassment permeating the air.
After all, one is doing a dog for the first time.
A man who has never tried to treat a human as a dog, although he has been in contact with real dogs before.
So, for a while, they didn't know how to complete the bet.
Wen Mingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why not... Let's be normal and be friends."
"I don't want friends! I want to be a dog!" Huo Hongyu seemed to be insulted, so angry that he couldn't say anything. After he finished speaking, he reacted, and his face flushed instantly, "No... it's that one, bet! Do you understand the bet?!"
Wen Mingyu bit her lip and tried her best to hold back her laughter. She hid her hand in her sleeve to pinch her own tiger's mouth, and said with difficulty, "Understood, but there is always a deadline, right? It's impossible, you can treat me as a lifetime..."
Only then did Huo Hongyu realize that there was a loophole in the bet he casually said. He couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a while, he said, "How is it during the hunt?"
Wen Mingyu nodded, and was about to speak, when a tall and straight figure walked beside him, blocking the light and shrouding him in shadows.
"Have you said enough?" Mu Zhan said coldly with an impatient expression.
Huo Hongyu's eyes widened, very surprised, and then he saluted, "See Your Majesty."
Bowing his head, he finally realized Wen Mingyu's identity bluntly before Mu Zhan asked him to get up.
"You are the son of the Marquis of Guangyang?!"
Wen Mingyu was surprised, "You just know?"
Huo Hongyu's eyes floated a little. He could already imagine how ugly his parents would be if they knew about this. They chased and beat him frantically, and maybe he would have to kneel in the ancestral hall.
But how can that be? He said all his words, he had to do what he said, and the terrifying tyrant was staring at him, knowing everything.
"Did Gu allow you to be flat?"
A cold voice came from the top of his head, which made Huo Hongyu agitated. He just raised his head to speak to Wen Mingyu in shock, and then lowered his head again, wishing to bury his head in his chest and be an ostrich.
"Flat body."
Huo Hongyu: "..."
Is the tyrant playing him on purpose
Immediately afterwards, Mu Zhan took something from the eunuch and said slowly, "Don't you know what to do? Gu can teach you."
teach what
The alarm bell rang in Huo Hongyu's mind, and he couldn't help but be on guard.
Then, he saw Mu Zhan shaking his hands twice and said, "Have you seen this ball? Gu throw it out now, you go and pick it up for your master."
After speaking, Mu Zhan really flicked his wrist and threw the ball out. His strength is not small, and the distance of throwing is naturally quite far.
Huo Hongyu: "..."
He was motionless, silently watching the ball disappear from sight.
He felt that the tyrant's rumors were obviously not comprehensive enough, it was scary and true, and his character was extremely bad, even children were embarrassed to bully him.
Mu Zhan could naturally see the resentment and dissatisfaction in his eyes, but as a tyrant, would he care? Instead, Mu Zhan felt that he was too tolerant and generous. He agreed to let Wen Mingyu play, but he didn't stop him. He just watched from the side. When this boy from the Huo family was talking, he also held back his anger. He didn't ask anyone to play the board. name.
Wen Mingyu didn't expect it, and was a little stunned by Mu Zhan's operation. He always felt like he was bullying a child. He couldn't help reaching out and secretly pulling Mu Zhan's sleeve, and whispered, "Your Majesty..."
He didn't say it directly, but there was a clear meaning in his eyes.
This time, Mu Zhan didn't follow Wen Mingyu, but said, "Did you force him to make this bet? How old are you this year?"
The latter sentence was said by Huo Hongyu.
How could Huo Hongyu, a rebellious child, admit that he was young, not to mention this year, but to say, "It will be fifteen soon."
Mu Zhan tilted his head and glanced at Wen Mingyu, the meaning in his eyes was obvious - look, it's not too small, it's what it should be.
Wen Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the so-called tyrant in front of him is a young emperor, only eighteen years old, but he usually does everything with ease, and nothing can stop him. He subconsciously enlarged his age.
Thinking about it seriously, Mu Zhan is actually not much older than Huo Hongyu.
However, it is not a glorious thing for a high school student to bully a junior high school student, right
Wen Mingyu pursed her lips and wanted to laugh.
He suddenly realized that Mu Zhan was actually... a little naive.
But putting this childishness on a tyrant doesn't make people feel disgusted, but becomes less terrifying.
Mu Zhan raised his chin and looked at Huo Hongyu condescendingly, "Aren't you going?"
Huo Hongyu was depressed and reluctant, but he couldn't beat the emperor, so he could only nod his head obediently, turn around and run to pick up the ball.
As soon as Mu Zhan tilted his head, he found that Wen Mingyu was staring at him, with round and bright eyes, like a well-behaved and sweet kitten.
"how?"
Wen Mingyu shook her head, retracted her gaze, and unconsciously kicked the pebble on the ground with her foot, "...It's nothing."
His tone was brisk, as if there was a villain bouncing around in circles in his heart.
When Huo Hongyu went to pick up the ball and came back, sure enough, his parents had already discovered that he and Sheng Shang were standing very close to each other and talking.
His mother's eyes were red, and she was so angry that she wanted to hit him, "How many times have I said it, let you be careful, why don't you listen!"
Huo Hongyu was a little guilty. After all, he didn't listen carefully before, which led to the current situation, and because of his self-esteem, he didn't want to talk to his parents about gambling, so he was talking nonsense.
"What? You still have to go? Aren't you afraid of death!"
Huo Hongyu shook his head, "No, mother, in fact, that Wenming Yuren is very good, the Holy One... His character is very bad, but he doesn't seem to be a cruel tyrant who can kill casually."
Mrs. Anning wanted to shut his mouth, what kind of nonsense is this? !
Huo Hongyu was going back to the holy place again. Gong An Ning and his wife were like seeing their son foolishly jumping into the fire pit. The wife was lying in the father-in-law's arms, unable to hold back her tears, and whispered, "What should I do? My son is so confused that he is talking to the sage. He must be frightened and stupid. Is there any salvation?"
Duke An Ning had a grim expression, and obviously felt that the matter was not easy, thinking of various ways to save his son. Huo Hongyu did not expect that he would bring so much misunderstanding and shock to his parents.
Because the hunting was over, Mu Zhan had already taken Wen Mingyu to sit down and rest.
Huo Hongyu picked up the ball and came back, and followed the palace servants there. When he arrived, he found that not only Wen Mingyu and Mu Zhan, but also a handsome and gentle man was sitting next to him. Behind him stood a burly man who was holding a I held a few walnuts, and when I pinched them with my fingers, they all shattered.
Then, the burly man picked out the walnut flesh and put it all into the plate beside the gentle man.
Huo Hongyu was a little puzzled. Although he didn't make friends with official children because of his family's requirements, famous people still knew a thing or two. Just like the walnut-crusher in front of him, it was obviously Wei Yingwu, a well-known and ever-winning general.
Someone who can be served by the general...
Huo Hongyu is in adolescence, at this time he worships powerful people the most, and the general can be said to be his idol. How could his idol serve others
He was dissatisfied, but curious, could it be possible that this weak-looking man was actually a master of the world
He secretly looked at it from the corner of his eye and handed the ball to Wen Mingyu.
Wen Changlan pointed to the plate, turned his head and said to Wei Yingwu, "There are still shells here."
Wei Yingwu is tall and mighty. He usually laughs like a dick, but when he doesn't laugh, he has a stinky face. It's so scary that the baby can't stop crying.
Wen Changlan was naturally not afraid at all, but instead ordered the plate imaginatively and signaled with a smile.
Wei Yingwu had no choice but to pick away the shell and continue peeling the walnut, but he stared at the fierce appearance of Wen Changlan's head, feeling that it was not the walnut that burst in his hand, but someone's head.
"You won't win!" Wei Yingwu was indignant.
Wen Changlan picked up the teacup and took a slow sip, "Did I commit a foul? If I lose, I lose. I'm just using the tricks in the book. If you don't agree, read more books, and you can deal with me like this in the future. ."
Wei Yingwu blushed with anger, and squeezed the walnuts until they crackled.
At this time, Huo Hongyu also understood, it turned out that the two cousins also played, and General Wei still lost, so he had to bet his cousin as a servant.
With this comparison, Huo Hongyu suddenly felt that his bet was not so difficult to accept. After all, the idol who was awesome also lost. In a sense, he happened to do the same thing as the idol, and was a little happy in his heart.
He was even a little fortunate that he didn't say that he would be Wen Mingyu's servant, otherwise his mother would definitely faint from anger when she found out.
Thinking of this, his body was faster than his head, and he turned his head and opened his mouth to Wen Mingyu.
"Wang."
"… "
Wen Mingyu was eating with relish, but when he heard this, he was completely dumbfounded. Half of the pastry he had eaten in his hand fell on the table, and rolled to the ground.
He widened his eyes and looked at Huo Hongyu in disbelief, never expecting him to be so serious.
However, Mu Zhan was very psychologically accepting, or he didn't care, his expression remained unchanged, and he sneered.
After Huo Hongyu finished, he was also very embarrassed, but as a big man, he said he should do it, and he went out of his way. And after the first call, it will be much easier later.
Seeing the indifferent expressions of the people around her, Wen Mingyu couldn't help but wonder if it was her who was abnormal
Wen Mingyu glanced left and right, not wanting to appear too out of place, so she restrained her expression and made a calm appearance, but she was thinking in her heart, how to do it like a dog without hurting people.
He thought for a while, looked up at Huo Hongyu, then reached out and touched his head.
This can be regarded as a dog in rua, right? And Huo Hongyu is younger than him, and it's not bad to touch his head like a younger brother.
It's just that he just touched it for a second when his wrist was grabbed and pulled back. When he turned his head, he saw Mu Zhan's dark face.
Huo Hongyu didn't expect to be touched suddenly, his hand gently stroked the top of his head, just like the feeling of his mother touching his head when he was a child. Surprisingly, he was not disgusted. He felt that if he had a brother, it should be like this.
"To treat a dog, there is no need to touch the head, it is enough to let him pick up the ball."
Mu Zhan's cold voice sounded, and Huo Hongyu couldn't help gnashing his teeth when he heard it, and his fist was a little itchy. But what? This is the emperor. Huo Hongyu could only hold back any emotions in his heart. He thought to himself that this emperor was probably more suitable for being a dog than him, a big fierce dog, the kind that everyone is afraid of and everyone hates.
Wen Mingyu's expression was quite complicated when she heard Mu Zhan's words. It is also fortunate that Mu Zhan is the emperor, otherwise he would be beaten with sacks every day for his mouth.
Although the bet is a bit weird, Wen Mingyu can be considered to have met a friend of a similar age because of this. During the hunting period, they often stayed together, so much time that Mu Zhan chased the dog with a dark face, while the Huo family were worried, fearing that their stupid son would be condemned by the sage one day.
The author has something to say: Huo Gougou: Wang!
Jade cub: Touch your head.
Mu Zhan (staring jealously): ... Wang.
Jade cub: ...
