Hualuo Chang'an

Luo Changxi's injury was almost healed, so after thinking twice, he decided to enter the palace.

However, Luo Mingde was probably in a good mood, so he didn't scold her.I only asked a few words about her "illness", and then told her about the autumn hunting trip in three days, and specifically explained that she had to "dress up and go".

"...If it's inconvenient, there's no need to ride a horse." Luo Mingde thought for a while, and then said, "Anyway, I don't intend to let you go hunting. Otherwise, I will reward you with a chariot."

Naturally, Luo Changxi didn't want it, and repeatedly declined.

Fortunately, Luo Mingde did not force her, but only emphasized several times before letting her out of the palace.

Luo Changxi thought for a long time after returning home, but he also thought of an idea.

The carriage needed to be driven, but she didn't intend to sit in it herself.In Luo Changxi's view, riding a carriage is more tiring than riding a horse.So, she made a plan, and then let Gong Yining and Ling Shuangxiu ride in the carriage, and she rode the horse aside, and then pretended that she got off the carriage when they arrived at the paddock.

Ling Shuangxiu didn't go to Autumn Hunting at first, but after hearing Gong Yining's lively talk, she was instigated by him and asked Luo Changxi to take her with her.Luo Changxi was very helpless, thinking that this cousin has always been weak, and it is rare to have a chance to go out for a walk, so she agreed.

But when Luo Changxi returned to the mansion and expressed his original idea, Gong Yining was the first to refuse.

Because Luo Changxi's injury was not fully healed, Gong Yining was very worried that she would open the wound again when she was riding a horse, so she insisted on letting Luo Changxi ride in the carriage together.But Luo Changxi said that the carriage was bumpy, and the wound was more likely to open.The two argued for a long time, and in the end Luo Changxi repeatedly promised that he would drive slowly all the way, and be more careful not to shock the wound, so Gong Yining reluctantly agreed.

Ling Shuangxiu didn't say anything, but just watched Luo Changxi and Gong Yining quarrel for a long time without saying a word.

Jing Qing was the least happy.

Because she couldn't ride a horse anymore, she had to drive a carriage for two young ladies.

But Luo Changxi opened her mouth, and she had to be willing if she wasn't happy.

The place where the autumn hunting paddock was set up this year was actually very familiar to Luo Changxi.

Five years ago, she wandered to Hongye Mountain alone, and met Qu Yiliu in this mountain. Five years later, she returned to Beijing and returned to her old place again.

Only this time, she was no longer alone.

Emperor Luo Mingde came out to hunt with his courtiers, which was naturally a large and mighty team of chariots and horses.Luo Changxi had made an agreement with Luo Mingde earlier, and the Xiangnan Army would adjourn him.So this time, Luo Changxi walked at the end of the whole team, next to Jing Qing driving the carriage with the two eldest ladies, and then the four guards of the Xiangnan Army followed.

The season is just right, the autumn sun is gorgeous, and the Red Leaf Mountain is covered by a boundless red maple, and the scenery is intoxicating.

Those who ride horses can enjoy the scenery while walking.

But those who sit in the carriage, although they can lift the curtain from time to time, can only see a corner of the scene.

Gong Yining soon became frustrated and regretted that she agreed to take the carriage.But she glanced at Ling Shuangxiu, and thought again, if she went out to ride a horse, wouldn't it be more boring for Ling Shuangxiu to sit alone in this carriage?

Ling Shuangxiu saw that she was bored, so she chatted with her for a while.

Gong Yining suddenly remembered that when she was fighting with Luo Changxi and Su Wuniang, Ling Shuangxiu seemed to have disappeared for a while.

"You didn't come to see us a while ago, where did you go?"

"My father went to the hot spring villa to recuperate, so I also stayed there for a while." Ling Shuangxiu explained, "There was no news on the mountain, and after a long time, I heard that His Highness was injured, so I hurried down the mountain. Unexpectedly, it was not good for traveling that day, and I met robbers halfway up the mountain, which frightened me."

"Ah?" Gong Yining listened, and her eyes widened, "Then why didn't I hear you mention it? Later... Then why..."

"later……"

Because Ling Shuangxiu was only going to live in the mountains for a while, and it was not far from the capital, she didn't bring many people with her.In addition to the maids and maids who attended, there were only the grooms who drove the carriage and several guards from Ling Xiang's mansion.Originally, since it was the car of the Xiangfu, no one would dare to commit it.But for some reason, he was targeted by dozens of fleeing desperadoes, and became malicious, wanting money and trying to hijack Ling Shuangxiu in the car.

All the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion are loyal people, but there are few people, and they have to be distracted to protect the carriage.After a fierce fight, almost half of them died.Ling Shuangxiu was terrified in the car, and almost committed suicide by pulling out her hairpin in order to avoid being humiliated.

At this moment, a person came suddenly.

"You people have hands and feet, what's wrong with you? You actually did such a lifeless thing!" The man scolded coldly, "If you don't want your life, even if you all die here today, it wouldn't be wronged you."

Ling Shuangxiu did not open the curtain at that time.

She sat quietly in the carriage, listening to the man scolding and making moves, listening to the man killing all the bandits, and listening to the man ordering the guards of the Xiangfu, saying that she would stay here to protect the lady, Let the guard go down the mountain and go back to the house to call for someone to come to meet him again.

After listening for a long time, Ling Shuangxiu finally planned to lift the curtain of the car, and wanted to thank that person personally.

But the man stopped her.

"Miss, it's better not to get out of the car."

"why?"

"I'm afraid it will stain the young lady's eyes."

"Then... but... I think..." Ling Shuangxiu is usually a eloquent person, but at that time, she actually stammered, as if she couldn't even speak, "You saved my life!" Fate, I...want to see what you look like."

The person outside the car even smiled lightly.

"I'm covered in blood now, and there's nothing to see. If I really want to see it, I'll always have a chance to see it again in the future."

"In the future..."

Will there be a chance to meet again in the future?

The man laughed again and said, "Just wait until that day, miss, don't mistake someone."

Ling Shuangxiu, who was sitting in the car, also pursed her lips and smiled, but she smiled secretly, cautiously, and did not make any sound.

"... Afterwards, that person kept talking to me outside the car, and he didn't leave until someone came to pick him up from my home." Ling Shuangxiu continued, "Naturally, the guards at my home wanted to ask the person's name and history, and said I will definitely come to the door to thank you in the future. But the man insisted not to say anything, and said 'this is also a coincidence' and left. The man is so strong in martial arts that the guards can't catch up at all, so we have to let it go."

Gong Yining was amazed after listening to the story.

"Oh my God, the hero saves the beauty! This is a story that only exists in a storybook!"

Ling Shuangxiu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "In that case, it is true."

Gong Yining became more and more excited: "Go and talk to Luo Changxi about this later, and ask her to search carefully in Beijing, maybe you can find this 'hero'! If a young man dressed in white Son..."

Ling Shuangxiu was taken aback when she heard the words, but her face became a little uncomfortable.

"It's better not to tell His Highness about this matter."

"Huh? Why?"

Ling Shuangxiu restrained her smile, and said lightly: "We just met by chance, since he doesn't want to reveal his name and identity, I don't have to force him."

"But..." Gong Yining felt a little pity, "But didn't that person talk about 'coincidence'? It's fate..."

"If there is a destiny, there is no need to force it."

There will be a day when we will meet again.

With someone to talk with, you will no longer feel that the long road is boring.It seems that Gong Yining hasn't said enough, and their business today has come to a place.This time Luo Mingde didn't live in the palace, he chose a villa on the hillside of Hongye Mountain, and sent someone to make a reservation early.The villa was built very well. When it was built, it was built according to the original red maples on the mountain, and almost no trees were hurt. The mountain was in the villa, the maple was in the villa, and all the buildings and pavilions were covered by layers of red maples. among.

The name of the villa is also based on the name of the mountain, simply named "Hongye Villa".

In this business, apart from Luo Changxi and Jing Qing, only Gong Yining and Ling Shuangxiu are women, and both of them are people who have nothing to do with this autumn hunting, they are purely Luo Changxi's private "family members".After arriving at the villa, the other people were called by the emperor to talk routinely, but the two of them were very free. After discussing a few words, they decided to take a stroll in the red maple forest in the villa.

"It's good for them. We haven't seen anything after riding horses for so long." Gong Yining babbled as he walked, "There are also maple trees in Beijing, but they are all sparse. They are not red yet. It turned yellow, withered, and fell away. The maple forest on the Red Leaf Mountain is still the most beautiful... Shuangxiu, don’t you think so?”

But Ling Shuangxiu behind him didn't respond.

Gongyi felt strange and turned around.

Ling Shuangxiu looked very strange.

She stopped, with a solemn expression, and kept looking around, with anxiety and joy in her eyes.

Can……

Looking around, the sky is full of red leaves, and there is clearly nothing.

"Shuangxiu..."

Ling Shuangxiu suddenly held her skirt and ran in a certain direction.

"Shuangxiu—"

Gongyi Ning was startled, and quickly followed.

The red leaves covering the sky, the fine sunlight, and the cool mountain breeze.

There was also a weak woman who kept running forward with her skirt in her hand, her breathing was unstable and she was almost panting non-stop.

Gong Yining was puzzled as she followed, what was going on?Ling Shuangxiu's body is not good, but if she ran desperately against the wind, it would be a disaster if something went wrong.Thinking about it this way, Gongyi Ning raised his Qi and started his lightness kung fu, and with a few vertical leaps, he stood in front of Ling Shuangxiu.

"Shuangxiu, what happened?"

Ling Shuangxiu ignored her.But Ling Shuangxiu finally stopped, took a few breaths, and suddenly yelled at the place where a red leaf overlapped: "Hey——"

Hey?

Gong Yining was dumbfounded.

"Is it...is it you?"

Who?

"I... didn't mistake you, did I?"

Gong Yining finally understood, who is it? !Is the person who saved Ling Shuangxiu actually in this Red Leaf Villa?Gongyi looked around carefully with wide-eyed eyes, but as far as he could see, there was no one except Hongye or Hongye.

"Shuangxiu..." Gong Yining asked again, "Where is that man?"

"……gone."

Ling Shuangxiu's original bright eyes gradually dimmed.

"Ah?" Gong Yining was even more surprised, there was nothing at all!Could it be that Ling Shuangxiu suffered from lovesickness and became delirious and crazy?Gong Yining quickly grabbed Ling Shuangxiu, and asked anxiously, "I...why didn't I see anyone? Where did you see it? Was there really someone just now?"

"I smelled it." Ling Shuangxiu came back to her senses and explained to Gong Yining, "Although I didn't see her, I smelled her fragrance. I won't admit it, it must be her!"

smell...

Gong Yining remembered that Ling Shuangxiu was so talented that she could smell many smells that others couldn't, especially the fragrance of women... No!woman? !

Gongyi stared wide-eyed: "She...is she a woman?"

"Yeah." Ling Shuangxiu nodded and looked at Gong Yining innocently, "I never said she was a man."

"But...but..."

"I really smelled it just now." Ling Shuangxiu said again, "It must be her. It's just..."

It's just that the man refused to meet him, stayed in the dark for a while, and when he saw Ling Shuangxiu chasing him, he hurried away.

"Actually, I just want to see what she looks like."

Ling Shuangxiu's tone was full of loss and melancholy.

"I regret it," she said. "At that time, why didn't I open the curtain?"

Gong Yining at the side didn't even bother to listen to Ling Shuangxiu's secret thoughts. She was still immersed in the huge shock, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Gong Yining felt that this matter must be told to Luo Changxi.
