The Great General and His Little Scholars

Seeing Liao Mingsi looking this way, several Hanlin scholars hurriedly pretended to be chatting and walked away.Jiang Tong withdrew his gaze and tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened and followed the crowd away.

Liao Mingsi looked at Jiang Tong's back, although he was very distressed, but due to the occasion, he couldn't go forward to comfort him.

At this time, Song Yuanzhen's voice sounded from behind: "You will live like this from now on, always hiding and sneaking around. If you can marry me, I'd rather turn a blind eye and close one eye, and let him be a fool in your room." Male favorite. Anyway, in this dynasty, this is not a rare thing."

Liao Mingsi didn't turn around, but said in a cold voice: "Thank you princess for being considerate, but I reminded the minister that it's best to be with Tong in an open and aboveboard manner."

Song Yuanzhen's face was as gloomy as iron, and he gritted his teeth tightly to see the back of Liao Mingsi leaving without looking back.He said to the maid who was following him: "Leave Liao Mingli to see me!"

Liao Mingsi returned to the school grounds, but he was absent-minded all the time.The way Jiang Tong looked at him at the gate of Yuhua Palace still lingered in his mind.

Seeing Liao Mingsi's gloomy expression, Xing'an said, "Young Master, a herd of deer has come to our back mountain this year, and a few school captains once killed one of them. There is not much business in the school ground today, why don't we go and see it too?" look."

Liao Mingsi thought about it: "It's okay, if you can't hunt deer, it's comfortable to ride a horse around the mountain. You don't need to bring all the guards, just bring two horsemen who are good at archery."

Xing'an agreed, and after a moment of preparation, the four of them rode out of the school grounds and headed for the back hill.

The forest in the back mountain is dense and there are many wild animals.However, the snow in winter is difficult to melt, and not many people come here to hunt.

Liao Mingsi and his party ran for more than [-] miles on the mountain road and stopped in front of a forest.Xing'an pointed to the depths of the forest and said: "That's right there, because there are no roads, the forest is dense, and there are many wild animals."

Liao Mingsi reached out to take off the bow and arrow from the horse, and said: "Whoever hits something today will own it. If it hits a deer, this general will pay for extra food for the whole army."

Several people cheered, got off their horses excitedly, and walked into the woods on the knee-thick snow.

There were indeed many animal footprints on the snow layer in the woods. Several people crawled carefully, followed the footprints, and walked slowly into the woods.

Suddenly, a guard who was walking in front suddenly lowered his body, and Liao Mingsi, who was following behind, followed his gaze, his eyes lit up, and he saw that he was indeed looming behind the woods a few meters away. a deer.

The deer's fur is shiny, and the spots on the body are looming under the cover of the shade of the trees.The horns on the head are also mixed with the branches.If these people hadn't been well-trained on the battlefield and had extraordinary eyesight, it would be really hard to find them.

Liao Mingsi also shrank down, and gestured to Xing'an and the guards.

A few people understood, and the two guards raised the qi of the dantian, used lightness kung fu, and flew up to the tree like a monkey, then settled down with the power of the tree, and outflanked the deer on both sides of the back path.

After a few ups and downs, the deer was already near the deer. A bodyguard accidentally took off a snowflake on the tree. The deer, which was looking down for food, suddenly raised its head and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, suddenly there was a whistle from nowhere.The deer was frightened and immediately ran wildly.

The two guards on the tree jumped down hastily, blocking the route of the deer running wildly.The deer was extremely agile, turned around in an instant in the dense forest, and ran towards Liao Mingsi.

Liao Mingsi immediately stood up from the bushes where he was hiding, his bow was almost fully drawn, and with a "jump", he saw a shadow arrow flying towards the deer with a whistling sound.

The galloping deer drew a trail of blood in the air, and fell into the snow nest.

Xing'an jumped up happily, and was about to run towards the direction where the deer fell, but was stopped by Liao Mingsi.Xing'an looked at Liao Mingsi with a puzzled expression, only to see his eyes burning, looking deep into the dense forest, and said loudly: "Since we are so destined to hunt a deer together, please show yourself."

After hearing this, Xing'an and the guards who were walking over suddenly came to their senses, and immediately took the sabres around their waists in their hands, and became vigilant.

I saw the woods on the left shaking for a while, and several people came out of it.The leader was a young man in a brocade cloak, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and a face as sharp as a sculpture.

This young man was tall, handsome and unrestrained, and under the stars of several followers, he looked particularly eye-catching. One could tell that he was not a young man from an ordinary family.

Liao Mingsi's eyes paused, the princes and nobles in the capital were all familiar with each other.I've seen them even if I don't know them well.The young man in front of him is very unfamiliar.

But what was strange was that the young master looked into Liao Mingsi's eyes, as if he knew him, and bowed his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Your Excellency, is that the Major General——Liao Mingsi?"

Liao Mingsi didn't expect that the other party would recognize him, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, may I ask your Excellency..."

The young man smiled and didn't answer.Just look down at the fallen deer.Sighed: "Sure enough, it is the Major General. In such a dense forest, this deer is running on snow, in chaos. The Major General can actually shoot an arrow straight into his heart."

After finishing speaking, he winked at his followers, who immediately lifted the deer and brought it to Liao Mingsi's feet.

Liao Mingsi looked at the arrow on the deer, and saw a jet-black shaft inserted into the deer's neck, which had already penetrated, and the golden copper arrowhead was exposed outside.

Liao Mingsi smiled: "Young Master is also good at archery." He added: "Since we meet each other by fate, I will give this deer to Young Master. Liao is the host. How about treating Young Master to a drink?"

The man smiled and said: "If the major general doesn't say anything on weekdays, I will do the job too. But today I have important things to do, so I just sneak out to play. There will be opportunities to meet in the future, and there will be a period later."

After finishing speaking, arching hands led the group of people to turn around and leave. After a while, on the other side of the mountain road, the sound of galloping horseshoes gradually disappeared.

Xing'an said with some concern: "Young Master, just let him go like this. It's very strange to see his appearance. If it's a detailed work or something..."

Liao Mingsi smiled: "Didn't you notice it just now? He wears a gold medal around his waist. It was a reward for the person who was crowned king in this dynasty. Wear it on your body to show your identity."

"Oh? So that's the case." Xing'an scratched his head and said, "My little eyes are clumsy, so I didn't pay attention."

"No wonder you, it's just fleeting." Liao Mingsi looked at the sky and said: "Chop off a deer leg, pick off the meat, leave a piece for me, and give the rest to my parents to enjoy. The rest Go to the barracks and get some silver taels from me so that the soldiers can also celebrate the winter solstice.”

After hearing this, the guards hurriedly thanked them, and happily dragged a heavy deer back to the horse.

Back at the General's Mansion, it happened that Jiang Tong's carriage had also arrived.Liao Mingsi flicked the reins of the horse, then stepped forward quickly, and personally helped Jiang Tong down.

Jiang Tong looked at Liao Mingsi with serious eyes, and said, "Why did the Major General come back so early today?"

There was a tone of alienation in the words, Liao Mingsi hurriedly laughed and said: "I killed a deer, and I picked a good piece of leg meat. When you come back, I will barbecue around the stove and drink wine."

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Tong turned around wearily, ignoring Liao Mingsi's attentiveness: "Today, I've been busy with business all day, and I'm tired and exhausted. I just want to take a quick rest."

"Then let Cuiqiao boil the water and take a bath to relieve fatigue." Liao Mingsi followed behind and said, "I'll be right next to your bathtub, how about I cook the meat on the stove?"

"No, I want to be alone." Jiang Tong said stubbornly, then stopped suddenly, turned around and stared at Liao Mingsi, "Why don't you go to sleep in the study?"

Liao Mingsi knew that he was annoyed by what he saw during the day, so he didn't dare to get angry. He just said with a smile, "I haven't been in there for a long time. There is no charcoal stove to simmer all day long. It's like an ice cellar."

"Then why don't you stay in Yuhua Palace for a while longer." Jiang Tong walked into the room, Cui Qiao came over to change her clothes, looked at the faces of the two, and hurriedly glanced at Xing'an who was following behind.

Holding a piece of venison in his hand, Xing'an shook his head in embarrassment, expressing that he didn't know.

Contrary to his usual gentleness, Jiang Tong threw off the court clothes, and without waiting for Cuiqiao to hand over the clothes, he picked up the gown and put it on himself, and sat on the couch by the window with a displeased face, neither uttering a word nor looking at it. Liao Mingsi.

Seeing this, Liao Mingsi winked at Xing'an.Xing'an hurriedly dragged Cuiqiao out together.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Liao Mingsi didn't move. He stood there looking at Jiang Tong and said, "Are you sincere?"

"It doesn't matter what I am." Jiang Tong reached out to take the teapot and cup, knocking on the table: "In broad daylight, in front of so many people, why do you want to come back when you are so intimate? Staying there, naturally there is a brazier simmering, and it won't be cold..."

Before he finished speaking, the figure in front of him flickered, and his body was suddenly pulled up, dazed, and Liao Mingsi had already pressed him against the closet door.

Being close at hand, the two nostrils can feel each other clearly.Jiang Tong's face turned red, and his heart beat like a deer running around.He wanted to struggle, but his arm was tightly held down, unable to move.

Jiang Tong said anxiously: "You just rely on your own strength to bully..."

A pair of lips suddenly came up to block Jiang Tong's mouth, and the soft and warm touch melted all the resentment in Jiang Tong's heart.He still wanted to struggle in his heart, but his lips were already honestly meeting Liao Mingsi's forceful yet gentle demands.

After a while, his lips parted slightly, Jiang Tong breathed calmly, and looked at Liao Mingsi with bright eyes like water: "Do you want to fool around?"

"I don't want to, it's just so you can listen to me." Liao Mingsi lowered his head and looked at Jiang Tong seriously: "You don't really think that what you saw during the day is real, do you?"

Jiang Tong lowered his eyes, shook his head lightly, and said, "I know it's not true, but I still feel uncomfortable. So knowing that you usually make my brother jealous, you don't feel good."

"Then... do you regret it?" Liao Mingsi's smile overflowed from his lips: "Is it because you feel that you treat me like that on weekdays, and your heart hurts?"

Jiang Tong's face was red to the ears, he pushed Liao Mingsi away forcefully and said, "Stop roasting meat and cooking wine?"

"Of course." Liao Mingsi was not willing to let go, he pulled him into his arms again, and said softly: "I really want to hold you in my arms during the day, but I can only watch you go away, thinking about this hug, I've been thinking about it all day."

Jiang Tong sighed softly, leaned his head on Liao Mingsi's shoulder, and hugged his strong waist tightly.
