Hualuo Chang'an

The hunting competition is set for an hour.

All the people who participated in the competition scattered into the mountains and forests, and they disappeared long ago. Everyone on the field was empty and bored, so someone suggested that since the competition field is empty, it is better to call a few escorts to come up to the competition.

This was mentioned by one of General Chen's lieutenants, so it probably meant what General Chen meant.

Gong Yining didn't know much about government affairs, but she also felt that there seemed to be some meaning in it.Gongyi Ning thought for a while, and first glanced at Ling Shuangxiu next to her, and sure enough, she looked a little dignified.

"what happened?"

"There are only two teams of guards accompanying the Autumn Hunt this time." Ling Shuangxiu whispered, "One team is the Imperial Forest Army that opened the way ahead, and the other team is..."

It is the Xiangnan Army under Luo Changxi's command.

Gongyi Ning also understood immediately.

This proposal clearly meant to let the Xiangnan Army compete with the Yulin Army. It would be ugly if they lost, but if they won, it seemed that they would not be able to explain it. Where would this make the emperor lose face?General Chen's sudden appearance was obviously aimed at the Xiangnan Army, or Luo Changxi.

Gong Yining couldn't understand this.

"Doesn't he want his son to be his son-in-law?"

"People who come today, ten out of ten have this idea in mind."

Gong Yining was even more surprised.

"Then how dare he offend Luo Changxi?"

"It's nothing to offend His Highness." Ling Shuangxiu said again, "The one who can really decide His Highness's marriage is not His Highness himself, but...the Emperor."

Gong Yining finally woke up.

These days, she has been tossing and turning to guess Luo Changxi's mind, only thinking that love in the world is a matter between two people, and she already knows her own mind, so she just needs to be sure of Luo Changxi's heart, but she forgot Luo Changxi is not an ordinary woman, and even Luo Changxi can't decide her own affairs.Before, although Gong Yining also laughed and laughed with Jing Qing, joking about the emperor's plan to recruit Luo Changxi's son-in-law.But at that time, Gong Yining naively thought that as long as Luo Changxi didn't want to, no one could force her.

At this time, after listening to Ling Shuangxiu's words, Gong Yining really understood Luo Changxi's worries.

No wonder the day before when I saw Luo Changxi frowning, not only could I not share her worries with her, but instead I only cared about my own concerns and ignored her, and later insisted on sleeping with her...

Really annoying.

Gong Yining couldn't help but glance at Luo Changxi in the distance again.

Since Luo Changxi sat on that stage, he looked calm and composed, with no expression on his face, nor did he speak.But at this time, because Chen Jiang's adjutant mentioned the proposal of fighting martial arts, most of the eyes of the people in the field fell on her.

"This idea is interesting. But..." Luo Mingde also turned his face, and smiled at Luo Changxi, "I don't know what the commander of the Xiangnan Army thinks?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Luo Changxi stood up, turned around and bowed to Luo Mingde, "In this competition, the Xiangnan Army was defeated without a fight."

"Oh?"

Luo Mingde still had a smile on his face, even though the meaning of that smile was somewhat unclear.

"The Xiangnan Army under the command of the minister means "Dog Xiangnan" and was born for the frontier battlefield. The soldiers of the Xiangnan Army have always only understood how to kill the enemy on the battlefield. "

Luo Mingde's face was indifferent, and he asked another question: "It's not even compared, how do you know?"

"For the safety of the frontier, I have to let them understand things that have nothing to do with killing the enemy on the battlefield. But..." Luo Changxi continued without changing his expression, "Although they don't understand, I do. If you are interested, how about letting the ministers take the place of the Xiangnan Army to compete on stage?"

This time, no one dared to say anything more.

Luo Changxi is no ordinary general, so if she reveals her identity, who else in the Imperial Forest Army would dare to fight.

Originally, General Chen wanted to pose a problem to Luo Changxi, but Luo Changxi threw the problem back in turn.Anyway, Luo Changxi is not afraid of offending Luo Mingde, no matter how much he offends, Luo Mingde can't really kill her.

Luo Mingde was speechless and expressionless.

Everyone in the field dared not answer, and fell silent all of a sudden.

At this moment, someone laughed.

Luo Changxi raised his head following the sound, but found that the person who dared to laugh out loud at such a time was Yao Guifei who was sitting beside Luo Mingde.Concubine Yao glanced at Luo Changxi with deep meaning, then smiled at Luo Mingde and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to watch the competition, there will be plenty of opportunities to watch it later, why rush at this moment? Those sent out to monitor Qiu Lie Why hasn’t your guard come back yet? Didn’t you say that you sent a column out to report news of the hunting ground at any time?”

When Concubine Yao mentioned this, Luo Mingde also smiled.

"Exactly, send someone out to see what's going on."

Even if the matter of the martial arts competition is exposed like this.

Everyone in the field responded one after another, pretending that they had never made that proposal.

Luo Changxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back in his seat, but Gong Yining, who was in the audience, also let out a breath.Originally, she thought that the so-called autumn hunting meant that the emperor was too busy to take people out to relax, but now it seems that as long as there is such an emperor around, he has to be nervous and cautious all the time.

Begging for food under the emperor is really exhausting.

Gongyi sighed inwardly.

Just in her dazed effort, several fast horses came running from the direction of the hunting ground, but stopped outside the field. Then, the guards on the horses rushed down to the front of the stage and reported back to Luo Mingde. Situation in the hunting grounds.The result was not unexpected at all, the one who was far ahead was General Chen's son Chen Gan.The second is the nephew of General Jing, the third is the youngest head of the Ministry of War, the fourth is also the nephew of General Jing, the fifth and sixth are the two imperial commanders respectively.

Gong Yining listened carefully to the long list of names, almost all of whom she didn't recognize, but she didn't hear the name of Ling Shuangxiu's brother Ling Zhanming.

"...Master Ling Zhanming is temporarily No. 11..."

Huh, eleven?

There were 30 people participating in the hunt, and it was not bad to be ranked eleventh.

Ling Shuangxiu was also a little surprised, and laughed in a low voice: "Several months of hard training are still useful."

In fact, Gong Yining didn't hate that Ling Zhanming at all. Although from a standpoint, the two of them should be hostile, but anyway, she didn't get Luo Changxi, and that Ling Zhanming looked very similar to her. Gong Yining A little more sympathy and compassion.

"There is still half an hour, maybe your brother can advance a few places by then."

"Accept your good words." Ling Shuangxiu smiled lightly, then turned her head to look at Gong Yining as if thinking of something, and said with some hesitation, "I thought...you would hate my brother."

"Huh? Why should I hate him?"

"Naturally..."

Ling Shuangxiu seemed to have something to say, but stopped.

"What?" Gongyi asked in surprise, "Is there anything else you and I can't talk about?"

"I thought you liked Your Highness very much, as if..." Ling Shuangxiu lowered her head and whispered to Gongyi, "My brother likes His Highness as much as he loves His Highness."

Gongyi Ning's heart skipped a beat.

It turned out that Ling Shuangxiu saw through it...

"I... this is really... nonsense." Ling Shuangxiu raised her head again, her eyes burning, "I must have guessed wrong, right? Probably because I didn't sleep well yesterday, so..."

"No." Gong Yining interrupted Ling Shuangxiu.She heard Ling Shuangxiu's guess, although she was surprised, but she was relieved instead.Gong Yining is frank by nature, even if she likes a woman, she doesn't feel that she has done anything shameful.What's more, the person who asked her at this time was Ling Shuangxiu, so she had nothing to hide, and she simply admitted it openly, "You are right, I really think about Luo Changxi like your brother... .”

Ling Shuangxiu didn't expect Gong Yining to speak so frankly, and she felt a little embarrassed instead.

"actually……"

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I'm the one who falls in love with her now, but I don't know what she means." Gong Yining couldn't help but smiled wryly again, "But according to my opinion, she probably doesn't have this heart. "

Seeing Gongyi Ning's gloomy expression, Ling Shuangxiu wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

Speaking of it, this matter is ridiculous.

——It is something that violates ethics and often goes against the way of heaven.

But for some reason, Ling Shuangxiu felt a little bit envious of such Gong Yining in her heart.It's really strange, Gong Yining looks like she is suffering from love, no different from her stupid brother, but she is so envious.

If we talk about the difference, it is probably because of Gong Yining's frankness and unabashedness.

If Ling Zhanming mentions Luo Changxi, he always seems to have made a big mistake, dare not speak, can't speak.When Gong Yining mentioned Luo Changxi, he was generous and determined.

Ling Shuangxiu suddenly felt that this was the true feelings, the only ones that made people yearn for.

But Gongyi thought about herself, and couldn't help thinking that Ling Shuangxiu also seemed to be in love with a woman. Thinking about it carefully, they really "feel for each other".

The two had their own concerns, chatted a few words, and thought for a while, and before they knew it, time passed.

When they reacted again, the hunting competition was over.All the participants returned to the field, and the Royal Forest Army stayed behind to count the prey and calculate the results.

The final result is not much different from before.

Chen Qian was still the one with the most hunts, and the rest of the rankings were almost the same as before. Only Ling Zhanming was the most unexpected, jumping from No.11 to No.9.

Except for the top three, Luo Mingde specially praised Ling Zhanming, and even rewarded him with a bow and arrow.

There was another voice of praise and response in the field.

Next is the contest for the top three.

Complacent, Chen Qianzhi took the stage first, and the second and No.3 took turns to challenge.

The fight will start soon.

Gongyi Ning also became nervous for no reason.

After this contest, Luo Changxi's identity will be announced.As for the final victor, besides getting the precious sword, will the emperor give him a marriage by the way?What is Luo Changxi going to do?Gong Yining looked at the competition on the stage for a while, then looked at Luo Changxi for a while, and finally touched the sachet at his waist, the purse at his cuff, and the stick in his pocket.

just in case……

If only in case...

Should she use some of her organs to snatch Luo Changxi and run away?Her lightness kung fu is powerful, but if she brings one more person with her, she doesn't know if it will be enough... Gong Yining suddenly regretted it. Qin Yuniang was doing it for her.This autumn hunt, she just wanted to come and see it, but she didn't make any preparations early.Thinking about it carefully, it turns out... It seems that because she was by Luo Changxi's side this time, she became dependent and trusted Luo Changxi wholeheartedly.

Oh, this is really...

"Chen Gan is about to win." Ling Shuangxiu suddenly whispered to Gongyi from the side.

"Win?" Gong Yining quickly turned his eyes to the stage again, "So fast?"

"Those two are not his opponents at all."

"Then... what should I do?"

"What are you going to do?"

"I am……"

Gong Yining only spoke half of a sentence, because at this moment, she suddenly found that the competition on the stage was over, and Chen Qian easily defeated the two of them one after another, triumphantly, and was about to speak.But Luo Changxi suddenly stood up at this moment, and Gongyi noticed that Luo Changxi's hand was already on the knife at his waist.

"Master Chen is really powerful."

Chen Gan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"Your Highness has praised me, but I just..."

"However..." Luo Changxi didn't talk nonsense with Chen Gan, and directly interrupted him, "I also like this time's Caitou Baodao very much. I wonder if Mr. Chen would dare to fight me?"

The author has something to say: It snowed a lot today... (why isn't winter over yet) so it's a little later than usual.
