My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

"what?"

Chu Xinyue couldn't help but raise her voice a few notches, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Don't lover's Gu worms need blood to feed? How could she steal it?"

Fortunately, there were musicians playing at the banquet. To the pleasant sounds of string music, the dancers danced gracefully in the hall.

Everyone was drinking and enjoying the singing and dancing, and no one paid any attention to them.

However, Xue Youli was very cautious and whispered a few words into Chu Xinyue's ear. Chu Xinyue suddenly realized, "Xue Qingyao is really the most hardworking heroine I have ever seen. She worked so hard to kill you."

"So we have to be extremely vigilant and make sure we don't fall into the trap."

Meng Shi had a high alcohol tolerance and was not drunk at all even after being toasted by several ministers.

At this time, he picked up the wine glass and walked to Yu Hongyi, "General Yu, you are the opponent I admire most. I toast to you."

During Yu Hongyi's last battle with Nanzhao, he was ambushed and injured. Although he had been recuperating for such a long time, his injuries had not healed fully after the long journey.

After the imperial physician examined his old injuries these past two days, he specifically advised him not to drink alcohol.

Yu Hongyi didn't want Meng Shi to see that his injury had not healed, so he picked up the wine glass without hesitation.

However, the next moment, a young man as tall as a pine tree took the initiative to stand in front of Meng Shi, "General Meng, you are also an opponent I admire. I toast you!"

The person who blocked the wine for Yu Hongyi was Xue Wuzhi.

Meng Shi met his gaze, raised his head and laughed, "Young man, I would like to have a few drinks alone with General Yu."

Xue Wuji smiled faintly. "Although Jiuzhou's Yuquan wine is delicious, General Meng should not drink too much. After all, we still have to go hunting in the afternoon. If General Meng gets drunk and loses control of his arrow, wouldn't our victory be unfair?"

Meng Shi listened to Xue Wuji's almost provocative words, snorted coldly, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "Okay, when we get to the hunting grounds, I will compete with General Xue again!"

Xue Wuji raised the wine glass in his hand towards him and said, "I'll definitely keep you company."

After Meng Shi returned to his seat, Xue Wuji bent down to pour wine and whispered to Yu Hongyi, "Master, how is your injury?"

"The imperial physician has examined him and he is fine."

"You can rest well in the tent this afternoon, citing the excuse of being too drunk. I and my junior brother will handle the hunting."

Yu Hongyi's only son, Yu Minyan, looked up at Xue Wuji and put down his chopsticks. "Yes, Dad, Senior Brother is right. We in Jiuzhou have many men who are proficient in riding and shooting. The Nanzhao envoy is definitely no match for us."

Xue Wuji glanced at the wine glass that had just been filled with wine and said to Yu Minyan, "Junior brother, let's have a drink too."

Yu Minyan was stunned and quickly waved his hands, "Brother, I can't drink much, so I won't drink anymore, so as not to delay things this afternoon."

"Then you should eat more meat. You're already skinny. After spending half a year in Southern Xinjiang, your waist has almost become thinner. It looks like your waist is even thinner than those dancers in the palace."

Xue Wuzhi just made a joke, but Yu Minyan's hand holding the soup spoon suddenly slipped, and the spoon fell back into the soup bowl, splashing his sleeves.

Yu Hongyi coughed lightly and reminded softly, "Yan'er, why are you so reckless?"

"Son, I was wrong. I'm going to change my clothes! Brother, you guys eat first. I'll be back soon."

Yu Minyan said this and stood up from the table.

The commotion here was not big but not small either. Xue Youli was looking for her elder brother in the hall. When she looked up, she saw Yu Minyan standing up from his seat.

[Name: Yu Minyan, 19 years old, the only son of General Yu.]

Xue Youli stared at Yu Minyan's ID card for a few seconds, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart: "What's going on? Why are there single quotes in Yu Minyan's profile?"

The Book of Heavenly Secrets, which was in tune with her thoughts, immediately appeared before her and answered her questions: [Because General Yu had no son, Yu Minyan was a woman disguised as a man.]

A woman disguised as a man?

Xue Youli nearly choked on the soup she was holding before she could swallow it. "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

The Secret Book: [When Yu Hongyi's wife was pregnant, Yu Hongyi was still fighting on the battlefield. Later, Madam Yu suffered a difficult labor and heavy bleeding. When Yu Hongyi rushed back, Madam Yu had already passed away.

In order to be able to take care of his daughter at all times, Yu Hongyi announced to the public that Madam Yu had given birth to a son. From then on, Yu Hongyi raised his daughter as his own son and took her with him wherever he went.

After Xue Youli finished reading the explanation in the Book of Heavenly Secrets, he turned to look at Yu Minyan.

I have to say that Yu Minyan's appearance is the official way to play the role of a woman dressed as a man.

She had heroic eyebrows, deliberately drawn long hair, and three-dimensional facial features. If one didn't know her gender in advance, one would just think she was a handsome young man from the Yu family.

Xue Youli watched her hurriedly walk away and suddenly realized something: [Yu Minyan acted so shy and nervous in front of my eldest brother, could she be...]

Tianjishu: [Yes, she has a crush on your eldest brother.]

In the original novel, Yu Minyan never expressed her love for him, so Xue Wuji didn't know that she was a girl until the entire Xue family was slaughtered.

Xue Youli thought that her eldest brother was old enough to get married, so she planned to find an opportunity to ask Xue Wuzhi what type of girl he liked.

If Xue Wuji happened to like a girl like Yu Minyan, she wouldn't mind helping them get together.

If all goes well, she will have a sister-in-law soon.

But why does this single quotation mark look more and more familiar? Could it be that she has seen single quotation marks somewhere else?

Xue Youli was still trying to recall the past, when Chu Xinyue poured a bowl of soup and handed it to her. "Ali, this black chicken soup is really delicious. Come and try it!"

"Okay." After being interrupted, Xue Youli was distracted for a moment and started chatting with her about other topics.

After the banquet, everyone went to the hunting ground.

The weather is great today, the autumn air is clear and the blue sky is cloudless.

Longshou Mountain was closed half a month ago, and several entrances to the mountain were guarded by soldiers and officers, who did not allow any outsiders to approach.

Tents were set up in advance on the hillside not far from the palace.

Murong Che led his ministers to the hunting ground and ordered people to allocate tents to everyone.

After everyone has rested, they prepare to go into the mountains to hunt.

Yu Hongyi, who had an old injury, volunteered to serve as the chief referee for this hunt. "Today, everyone, go into the mountains to familiarize yourself with the terrain. You can hunt alone or in groups of two or three. Remember to return within two hours. We will determine the reward based on the number and size of prey you catch. If you fail to return within the time limit, it will be considered as forfeiting the competition."

After hearing the rules of the competition, Lan Zheng rushed to Murong Che and said, "Your Majesty, can you give me a chance to get to know you? I would like to invite you to join me in the hunt."

Murong Che glanced at her, then reached out and pulled Xue Youli, who was standing next to him, over to him. "My team is already full. Princess Lan Zheng, you can take a look at those military officers. They are all excellent."

Lan Zheng looked at Murong Che and Xue Youli's tightly held hands, her face showing disappointment, but deep down she hated them. "What a pity! It seems I have no choice but to look for someone else."

She turned her eyes and found that among the group of rough military officers, there were two handsome young men.

She recognized the two men at a glance as General Yu's only son Yu Minyan and General Yu's beloved disciple Xue Wuzhi.

Both of them stood out among a group of rough military officers in terms of their stature and appearance.

Lan Zheng was hesitating whether to go over when someone grabbed her wrist.

Lan Luo followed her gaze and slowly narrowed his eyes. "Fourth sister, Xue Wuji and Yu Minyan are the most promising generals among the younger generation, and are highly regarded by the Emperor of Jiuzhou. Let's team up with them. If we can capture them, it will be worth our journey all the way from Nanzhao."
