Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 104
And the depths of the paddock at this time.
Xiao Dingyuan and the three were silently looking at the white tiger in front of them.
The three of them are martial arts practitioners. In the early years, they had been on the battlefield together. They had seen the scene of millions of dead bodies. Naturally, they were not afraid of this thing. The white tiger had already been shot with several arrow feathers. The key point, although the blood angered the fierceness of the white tiger, the excessive wounds also slowed its actions.
The limbs that are thicker than an adult are already a little bent, and they even stagger on the ground when they start to walk.
It only takes a few more arrows to fall.
Xiao Dingyuan held the golden dragon-engraved bow and arrow in his hand. The sharp feathers of the arrow were facing the white tiger’s vitals. His expression looked very calm, and there was no change at all because of the fierce tiger’s roar.
The bow and arrow in his hand has been pulled to the tightest point, just lightly open a finger, that arrow feather will shoot out, piercing its vitals.
And he is sure–
This time, the white tiger must be able to fall down.
At this moment, there was another roar of a fierce tiger. When the white tiger heard it, his limbs paused slightly. After a while, it raised its head, and there seemed to be blood and tears pouring down in its eyes, and it suddenly screamed more violently.
“not good,”
When Gu Wuji saw this situation, his face changed, and his original leisure became tense. He held the reins and said solemnly, “I’m afraid it’s a couple.”
As he spoke, he twisted his eyebrows, looked around, his expression became alert.
Even Li Cen-shen, who has always been silent, his face becomes a little difficult to look. This white tiger is already tricky enough, not to mention that there is still a tiger who doesn’t know where it is hiding at this time. Really a couple, I’m afraid… the battle will become very tragic later.
When he once fought in Mobei, he saw a minority group fighting, and he liked to use these beasts as combat tools.
Especially like to separate a couple, wait until one of them is injured, arousing the anger and hatred of the other, and then release it to enhance their combat effectiveness.
What he hates most in his life is fighting these beasts.
Because human power is limited, there is always exhaustion, but the beast will not, it seems to have power that you can’t imagine…At this time, he held the bow and arrow in his hand, and his silent eyes patrolled around. He whispered: “Your Majesty, be careful.”
Xiao Dingyuan did not expect such a situation to occur.
He pursed his lips, and the arrow feather in his hand did not choose to shoot out at this moment. The current situation is very dangerous, but it is not enough to make him afraid.
As an emperor who crawled out of a **** battle, years of easy life had long made him feel extremely boring, but such an incomprehensible situation inspired his wildness and bloodliness that had been dormant for many years, Xiao Dingyuan said in a low voice. The bow and arrow in his hand were not put down, and those eagle-like eyes were also patrolling around.
But the tiger seemed to be a fine.
Even at such a moment, he didn’t choose to come out immediately, as if he was playing against their group of humans…Under the cover of this dense mountain forest, it hid perfectly.
The wind blows and the grass moves, and it seems to exist in every place, but there is no trace of it in every place.
With the help of another fierce tiger, the previously severely injured white tiger seemed to have improved its combat effectiveness in an instant. The staggering pace just now became vigorous again. Those eyes that were as big as copper bells stared at this. The emperor of mankind.
As if to retaliate against them, its originally slow pace suddenly became very fast, soon…
As it got closer and closer to them, its hind limbs landed on the ground, but its front limbs jumped up, and the sharp claws rushed towards Xiao Dingyuan.
If this were placed before, it would be easy to dodge this white tiger with the ability of three people, but at this time the white tiger’s combat effectiveness has been increased several times, and there is also a tiger that can’t find a trace, which roars from time to time, causing the horse under the three of them. Also became restless.
“His Majesty!”
“His Majesty!”
Looking at this situation, Gu Wuji and Li Censhen’s expressions changed. The arrow in their hands shot towards the white tiger, and their bodies leaned in the direction of Xiao Dingyuan, as if they were trying to protect him with flesh and blood.
The white tiger was stabbed in two key points, and even if he was not reconciled, he still fell under their gaze, but at this moment, the tiger that had been hiding for a long time finally rushed out. It was like a rapid wind. Pounced straight at the three of them, Gu Wuji and Li Censhen’s arrows had just pierced the white tiger. They only held a bow in their hands, but had not hit the arrow.
Only the arrow in Xiao Dingyuan’s hand has not been shot yet.
He pursed his lips and looked at this tiger, as if the king of mankind and the king of the forest were looking at each other, and the moment it jumped over, the arrow feathers in Xiao Dingyuan’s hand shot towards it without hesitation. , Stabbing one of its eyes, Gu and Li also re-attached their arrow feathers in this short time, and stabled towards the vital tiger’s vitality together.
But this fierce tiger was obviously very experienced in fighting. He dodged several times. The feathers of the arrow only scratched its fur, and did not hurt its vitals. Except for one eye, it was not damaged.
The fallen white tiger still breathed. Seeing his partner hurt, its roar became louder and louder. The sound was harsh. The three horses were unbearable, and they all shook uneasyly. The tiger leaped at them again at this time.
“not good.”
Gu Wuji’s expression changed, knowing that it would be difficult to shoot it with a bow and arrow at this time. He simply planned to use his flesh and blood to stand in front of Xiao Dingyuan in order to delay time for Li Censhen. He still held the bow and arrow in his hand. He sternly said: “Hurry up!”
They met when they were young, and even though they hadn’t fought side by side for many years, the tacit understanding still existed.
At this time, Li Cen saw what Gu Wuji was doing, and knew what he was going to do. He didn’t say anything, pursing his lips, putting three arrows on the crossbow, and sinking his heart to stare at the tiger’s movements. When the tiger’s paw was about to pounce on Gu Wuji’s body, the three arrow feathers in his hand shot out, all hitting the point.
The arrow feather in Gu Wuji’s hand also blinded the other intact eye of the tiger.
The tiger uttered a louder and more painful roar.
It fell backwards, and its movements became slower, but when it heard the white tiger yell shortly, and then returned to nothingness, as if it knew it was dead, the blind tiger suddenly uttered a terrible roar.
The roar rang all over the forest.
The tiger that was still considered suddenly became unstructured and no longer cared about his own life, as if he wanted to drag the three humans to accompany them to die together.
“not good–“
Gu Wuji’s pale complexion became even more bloodless. Li Censhen wanted to take another arrow but was a step slower. Xiao Dingyuan’s face that rarely changed at this time finally changed… but at this moment, behind him Suddenly there were three strong winds, passing through the three of them, and directly piercing the tiger.
Li Cen Shen seemed to feel something, and when he turned around, he saw a white-clothed young man abandoning his horse and running wildly.
Seeing the three arrow feathers hit the tiger, he did not stop, but while running forward, he continued to take the arrow from behind until he approached the tiger. He stepped on the very resilient bamboo to jump up. The body continued to shoot towards the vitality of the tiger.
The six arrow feathers are all the key to the tiger, and its rushing body also slowed down.
Li Censhen also retracted his face in time, sinking his heart, and shooting his bow and arrow in the direction of the tiger again. The cooperation of the father and son has given them time to survive.
Gu Wuji and Xiao Dingyuan also shot the last two arrow feathers in their hands.
So far.
The fierce tiger fell next to the white tiger, who had long been breathless, and calmed down under the rapid breathing and several roars.
Li Qinyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the tiger fall. He rushed all the way, sweating heavily on his forehead, and even the heart hung high on his throat. The palm of his hand was full of red marks, but he felt Not feeling painful, while wiping the sweat from his forehead, he walked in the direction of the three of them.
As he approached, he first glanced at Li Censhen and saw that his expression was the same. Then he knelt down on one knee in the direction of Xiao Dingyuan and asked, “Are you okay?”
The imperial horse under Xiao Dingyuan had also recovered as usual.
At this time, he held the crossbow and put his hand on the side of his thigh. He heard the sound and looked down. He saw that he was a young boy who was not familiar and asked: “Which Erlang are you?”
When Gu Wuji saw Li Qinyuan appear, he was a little surprised and a little appreciative. He held a somewhat sour arm with one hand, and said to Xiao Dingyuan, “It’s Li Censhen’s son.”
He and Xiao Dingyuan grew up together, and the relationship is very comparable, and they are naturally not so strict when they speak. “At the beginning, my family Manman and Xiao Jiu were also saved by him. They are good children. You will be rewarded this time. .”
Hear the words.
Xiao Dingyuan was taken aback for a moment, but he also reacted somewhat, “Are you Li Qilang?”
Hearing that the young man should “yes”, he smiled again: “I remember that when you were ten years old, you hunted with me and helped me shoot a tiger. Unexpectedly, after so many years, your riding and shooting are still good… He usually had a cold face on weekdays, but at this time there was a smile on his face. After the words fell, he turned to look at Li Cen Shen, and said with a smile, “You teach well.”
Li Cen Shen did not answer.
Holding the reins, he looked down at Li Qinyuan, his expression on his face was the same as usual, there was no change, only the corners of his lips raised slightly, and there was some softness in his eyes.
He didn’t expect it either.
Interval between several people talking.
Xiao Jingxing and others have also arrived.
Amidst the sound of horseshoes, Xiao Jingxing’s warm jade face, which was usually extremely gentle, was as cold as a snow mountain lotus at this time. Before getting closer, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and his unpleasant face suddenly changed. Big change.
“drive–“
He raised his whip, completely ignoring the people behind him, and hurriedly rushed forward, and he was relieved when he saw Xiao Dingyuan’s figure in good condition.
The horse stopped.
Xiao Jingxing turned over and vaulted, rushed to Xiao Dingyuan to take a closer look, then knelt down on one knee, and bluntly said: “My son is too late for help, please father the emperor to punish him.”
Xiao Dingyuan looked at Xiao Jingxing, his eyes were slightly warm, and his voice was very gentle, “It’s okay, get up.”
When the words fell, Jin Wang Xiao Ke and others also ran over. Xiao Ke directly rushed in front of Xiao Dingyuan and held his hand for a long time. Then he knelt down with red eyes, and said with a trembling voice: “My son is late for help.”
“Okay, get up all the time.”
Xiao Dingyuan smiled. Although there was a lot of blood on his body, his spirit was very good, and he smiled heartily: “Today is a fruitful harvest. Take these two tigers away and return to camp!”
When he spoke, others should naturally “yes”.
At such a moment, no one noticed Li Qinyuan at all, and he didn’t even want to be seen by others at all. He was walking on a secluded path with a bow and crossbow. Only Zhao Chengyou saw Li Qinyuan who had been standing by when he got up.
His expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be aware of it.
Before that thought came out of his mind, he heard Xiao Dingyuan, who had originally planned to return to camp, suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. After a while, his gaze fell on Li Qinyuan’s body and smiled: “Qilang, come here.”
He rarely has such a gentle time, let alone a yellow-haired boy who has no official position.
Everyone looked at Li Qinyuan in surprise and astonishment. They didn’t know what was happening… Gu Wuji saw Li Qinyuan not moving, only when he was a young boy, and simply smiled and shouted, “Stupid boy, what are you doing there? Can’t come yet?”
Li Qinyuan was naturally not because of his thin skin, he simply didn’t want to go there.
But now, he can’t help but let it go. He should say “yes”, his expression is the same, he still looks the same as before, and walks straight forward. There were a lot of people around there, and when he came over, they let him go. Make a way for him to go first.
Until Li Qinyuan turned on his horse and walked side by side with Xiao Jingxing and others.
Xiao Dingyuan nodded in satisfaction, then retracted his gaze, and said, “Go.”
Everyone followed, but Zhao Chengyou was the only one who was supposed to be walking with King Jin, but now… King Jin is fully devoted to Xiao Dingyuan’s body, so how can he take care of Zhao Chengyou? And he, seeing Li Qinyuan in the past also seemed to be stunned.
Turn around and look.
The soldiers behind him were lifting two tigers. With sharp eyes, he saw that one of the yellowish-brown tigers had six feathers…It was Li Qinyuan’s arrow.
really.
The prey he shot today is not too few. He originally wanted to be among the best and show his face in front of Emperor Qingxi.
But now this look, no matter how many prey he kills, how can it be compared to Li Qinyuan’s showing such a big face in front of Emperor Qingxi and the others, Zhao Chengyou held the reins and did not speak, until he noticed a touch of evil Then he turned his head to look.
Not far away, his father was following Emperor Qingxi and the others.
It seemed that because he didn’t see him, he turned his head and looked over, and his face sank when he saw that he was still there.
Zhao Chengyou knew he was angry, but he didn’t want to say anything. He didn’t even want to look back. He lowered his eyelashes. He stayed there for a while before he followed.
And in the camp at this time.
Gu Wuyou and others finally got the news. She was leaning on a chair and eating melon seeds. When she heard this, Ming Yan’s face was pale as paper, and all the melon seeds in her hand fell on the scarlet carpet. , The voice became a little stuttered because of the shock, “You, what did you say?”
The original hilarious sound also stopped.
The palace man who came to deliver the message was also very pale. He knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: “Your Majesty and others encountered a tiger attack. The prince sent a message, and now many soldiers have passed.”
As soon as she said this, Gu Wuyou couldn’t sit still anymore and rushed out.
Xiao Wuxia originally wanted to ask a few more questions about the situation. Seeing Gu Wuyou like a gust of wind, he couldn’t stop him, and changed his expression. He went out and shouted, “Cousin, where are you going? Wait for me!”
But when she chased outside the camp, she saw Gu Wuyou who had turned over and raised her whip and ran deep into the paddock with a calm face. The ladies behind him were all following Xiao Wuxian, and they naturally saw this too. In this picture, someone murmured: “When did Princess Leping’s horsemanship become so good?”
Xiao Wuxian was also a little dazed, but it was not the time to discuss this. Seeing that Gu Wuyou was almost gone, she hurriedly said, “Get me a horse!”
But she is a heavenly princess, who would dare to let her take this risk?
“You, you…” Xiao Wuxia was so angry that he couldn’t get past, so he gritted his teeth, and finally could only say: “Send someone to follow, don’t let the cousin get hurt.”
Gu Wuyou has never been so anxious as he is today.
She didn’t know what happened inside, only that Dad was with his uncle now, and the third brother and Jiufei, the prince brother, and…the general, no matter who had an accident, she could not accept it, she could only work hard. She ran forward and wanted to see them as soon as possible. Only when she saw them could she be relieved.
“drive!”
The horse whip was placed on the horse’s back, and the horse ate pain and ran even faster.
…
“Who is that?”
Xiao Dingyuan watched Gu Wuyou coming from a distance. His original horseback movement slowed down, but he was far away, only to see a fiery red figure. At this moment, the sunset glowed red light on the horizon, and the figure was covered with golden light. Running in their direction.
Many people stopped.
Li Qinyuan was riding a horse carelessly. He only lifted his eyes when he heard the sound. He glanced forward, but this look made his original expression of “hanging up on top of everything else” changed.
Even though he was far away, he knew who that figure was.
The hand holding the rein had a pause. Just as he was about to greet him, someone suddenly grabbed his arm. Li Qinyuan paused and looked back in surprise, but he saw Xiao Jingxing.
Just for a while.
There was another voice in front of him, and Gu Wuji looked at the figure and muttered: “It seems to be… Barbarian?” He was indeed surprised. In his impression, Manman dislikes horse riding and archery the least. .
When he wanted to teach her when he was young, he was always rejected for various reasons.
Where did he think that one day he would actually see Manman’s graceful posture… the figure was getting closer and closer, and the face of a small phantom was slowly exposed because of being close.
Gu Wuji looked at this familiar face, but seemed to see another person through the cold wind and years——
His dead wife, Cheng Dai.
His beloved was weak and sick since she was a child, and her family did not allow her to toss about these things, but that year when she was at the same age, she told him that her only wish was to ride a horse by herself once, and that was enough, she looked weak. , In fact, the heart is tough, and what you want to do will never change.
Like moths to the fire.
That year, he secretly took her out and taught her to ride a horse. She was riding a horse like this in a red dress. After the training session, he was not allowed to follow him. Instead, he let him stand in the front and ride the horse alone. Run towards him.
The wind lifted her hair, and the blown hair couldn’t cover her splendid face. She immediately smiled at him: “Brother Wuji, I’m so happy.”
The eyes are hot.
Just when he was in a trance, Gu Wuyou had already rushed to her. She was still panting, looking at him with a pale face, “Daddy, are you okay?”
Gu Wuji returned to his senses when he heard the voice. Looking at his worried daughter, his heart was like a warm flow. His voice was mixed with some choking, and he looked at Gu Wuyou and said warmly: “I’m fine.”
Gu Wuyou took a closer look and saw that he was indeed okay. Then he looked at Xiao Dingyuan again, “Uncle, how are you?”
“Finally think of me?”
Xiao Dingyuan smiled and looked at her. He didn’t use the attitude of the ruler and ministers, but just talked about it. Seeing her pale face blushed, he smiled again: “I’m fine, all right, shall we go back?”
Gu Wuyou nodded and turned to the side. She saw that the three brothers and the nine younger brothers were all behind, and it was not a big problem, so she wanted to find the figure of the general. The general was in the middle position just now. , There was a piece of blackness over there, only a bunch of human heads could be seen.
Still wanting to find it again, but saw a hot and smiling gaze, Gu Wuyou looked back, only to find that the person she wanted to find was next to the prince brother.
With a smile on his eyebrows, he was looking at her for an instant, and when she saw her, he opened his mouth to her and said a few words silently—
“I’m fine.”
“It’s quite brutal?” Gu Wuji saw her motionless and called her, “What’s the matter?”
“Hey, I’m okay–” Gu Wuyou replied softly, perhaps because she knew that the few people who were worried were okay, she finally relieved her mind, smiled and took the reins and returned to the team.
When she returned to the team, everyone continued to go in the direction of Daying.
Zhao Chengyou, who fell behind, also saw Gu Wuyou’s figure. He watched her approaching like a strong fire, saw her worried eyes searching for traces in the team, and saw her finally relieved and smiled. Looks like…
Somehow he felt in his heart, suddenly it felt like someone was holding his heart severely, and it hurt so badly.
If those things didn’t happen, if he really liked her from the beginning, cared about her, didn’t make her feel sad, if he treats her better than his heart… Is that the worry on her face and heart now, Part of it belongs to him?
But in this world, there has never been an if.
It’s like when he didn’t want to wear the same style as Gu Wuyou and appeared in front of people, and didn’t want to tie them together when outsiders mentioned them.
So now, he can only watch her with other people.
Waiting to return to Daying.
Even though Xiao Dingyuan said it was okay, Xiao Jingxing and the others asked the imprisoned doctors to give him a treatment and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, so they were relieved.
When the inspection was over, the sky outside was already dark, and the bonfire had all been lit.
Half of the whole Dongshan was shrouded in night, and half was bright as daylight because of the bonfire. The palace people carried mahogany trays and filed in, bringing fresh and delicious meals to the nobles who had been tired for a day.
Gu Wuyou sat with Xiao Wuxia as usual.
This will make sure that everyone is okay, Xiao Wuxia asked her about riding horses, “Cousin, when did you ride so well?”
Gu Wuyou naturally couldn’t say that this was taught to her by the general in her previous life, and said: “I used to practice in Langya.”
What she said is not a false lie. She did learn how to ride and shoot from a few cousins when she was in Langya, but she was either too busy with the sand or too much sun. They used to fish for three days and spend two days on the net. Yes, I didn’t study it seriously.
But these things, naturally, no one really will go to the bottom of it.
It’s like Xiao Wuxia’s eyes lit up when he heard these words, and with his small face supported, he praised sincerely, “Cousin is really amazing!”
Gu Wuyou smiled. Just when he wanted to speak, the eunuch’s voice came in front of him. He wanted to reward him based on the ranking of hunting today. This was the old year. According to statistics, the first place is Zhao Chengyou. The second place was Li Qinyuan, one of them got a crossbow, the other got a good sword, and then Xiao Jingxing, Fu Xian, and others, all of whom were rewarded.
After everyone kowtowed their heads and thanked everyone, Xiao Dingyuan let Li Qinyuan stay alone.
He sat on the high dragon chair, looked down at Li Qinyuan, and said with a warm smile: “Today Qilang has the merit to shoot the tiger. Although you are only second in terms of the prey, but I-another reward.”
Everyone at this meeting also knew that it was Li Qilang who was able to shoot the tiger today. If not, they still don’t know what the situation is. Therefore, they all stopped their movements when they heard that Emperor Qingxi wanted a reward. Look to the front.
Gu Wuyou is even more so.
When Li Qinyuan appeared, he was the only one in her eyes.
This meeting with my uncle wants to reward him, she is happier than anyone else, with a pair of willow eyebrows crooked, and the crescent eyes underneath her smile so that there is only a gap left.
Guessing in my heart, wondering what the uncle will reward?
She held her cheeks and looked at Li Qinyuan for an instant. Just when she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Xiao Dingyuan smile and say: “You are also seventeen this year, and they all said that you should start a family first and then start a business. It’s a marriage.”
Gu Wuyou was immersed in his own associations at first and didn’t react, but only when he heard the sighs from below did he come back to his senses.
“What did the uncle say?” she asked Xiao Wuxia.
“Ah,” Xiao Wuxia said to her indifferently while eating grapes, “Father said he wants to give him a marriage, but he hasn’t said which daughter it is.”
what? !
Give a marriage to the general?
Gu Wuyou changed his face, stood up directly under the eyes of everyone, opened his mouth and said, “No!”
Li Qinyuan also said “No” at the same time.
The two of them didn’t seem to have thought. They glanced at each other and didn’t say any further, and this place where there was no sound at all suddenly became quiet after the two said “No”. Xiao Dingyuan didn’t seem to have expected it, and stared blankly. After the two of them, he asked Gu Wuyou a long time ago, “Why does Manman say no?”
“because–“
Gu Wuyou noticed that many people were watching her. Among them, she knew, did not know, and saw many gazes, dazed, puzzled, concerned, stopped… But when she saw her kneeling With the look of the young man in white on the ground, he gritted his teeth and walked out when he saw the stop in his eyes, and knelt directly beside Li Qinyuan.
Then he raised his head to look at Xiao Dingyuan, and said to him without hesitation: “Because I like him.”
