The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"Avoid."

Before Zhou Shiyue could reply, Lu Zhaoling had already spoken.

So, not only Qing Feng, but Zhou Shiyue also turned his horse's head and avoided to the other side as soon as she finished speaking.

Qing Feng and the other two immediately followed.

As soon as they dodged, they stopped their horses, and calmed their breath. Then they saw the person coming out through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

He was a handsome young man, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was dressed in sky-blue tights, with a silver crown on his head and a quiver on his back. He held the reins in one hand and a black bow and arrow in the other.

There was an animal hanging on the horse's back, and it was hard to tell whether it was an antelope, a muntjac, or something else.

In Lu Zhaoling's eyes, it was this animal that was emitting the black aura.

There was a murderous look on the young man's head.

"Who is that?"

Lu Zhaoling didn't know this person and asked Zhou Shiyue in a low voice.

Zhou Shiyue replied after a while, "The youngest young marquis in our Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Muchiao."

The youngest marquis?

Lu Zhaoling exclaimed.

"How can there be such a young marquis?"

"Why, are you very interested?" Zhou Shiyue asked her back.

Qing Feng lowered his voice and said, "Miss, Young Marquis Zhou is also famous throughout the capital for his outstanding appearance."

So, Miss, if you ask a few more questions, the prince may suspect that you are attracted to the young Marquis Zhou's face.

Qing Yin also understood what Qing Feng meant, and added in a low voice, "I heard that Young Marquis Zhou is very good at riding and shooting. In the past, he always caught the most prey during the annual royal hunt."

Not only is he handsome, but he is also very good at kung fu and is very popular.

Miss, if you continue asking, the prince might really think that you are interested in Young Marquis Zhou.

They both have good intentions, but——

"Why, you two admire him so much, why don't you change your master?" Zhou Shiyue's tone was calm.

Qingfeng and Qingyin immediately shut their mouths.

Wrong decision. It seemed like they were praising Young Marquis Zhou in front of the prince.

Lu Zhaoling watched Zhou Muqiao ride out of the woods.

"He's so popular, why haven't I heard of him before?"

She asked whatever she wanted to ask naturally, without worrying about Zhou Shiyue misunderstanding her.

"Also, his last name is also Zhou?"

"The surname Zhou means he has some blood relationship with the royal family, and he is a relative. His branch made contributions to disaster relief back then, but they were not suitable for the title of king. In addition, all the members of the Zhou family died in the disaster relief, and now only Zhou Muchiao and his son are left, so the title of marquis fell on him."

Zhou Shiyue explained, "At that time, Zhou Muchiao was only ten years old, but he had already become a young marquis. Zhou's mother was sick and injured at the time, so it was inconvenient for her to travel thousands of miles back to the capital, so she stayed in her mother's home in Jiangnan to recuperate. Zhou Muchiao lived with his mother in Jiangnan until he was fifteen, and only returned to Beijing after he was fifteen."

"But he would go back to Jiangnan to accompany his mother at the end of the year and stay there for a few months before returning to the capital. He probably just came back now, so it's normal that you haven't heard of him before."

After he said that, he glanced at Qing Feng.

Look at this king's broad mind. He still openly told everything about Zhou Muchiao. Do they think he is so stingy that he doesn't even want to mention it?

This is impossible.

Qing Feng didn't dare to meet the prince's gaze.

All right, Your Highness, whatever you say is what happens.

"Why, Lu Er, you keep asking about Zhou Muchiao. Do you see something wrong?"

Qing Feng almost burst out laughing.

He wanted to admire the prince, as if he really didn't think too much about it and was not petty. However, before he could finish this thought, the prince couldn't help but question Miss Lu.

See, you still say you don’t care?

Lu Zhaoling said, "I just saw a new face and was curious."

"Oh?"

Qingyin also laughed secretly.

The prince was still not reassured by the young lady's explanation.

"Also, the prey he hunted was not right."

After Lu Zhaoling said this, Zhou Shiyue's expression suddenly relaxed.

You see, Lu Er is indeed not a superficial person.

How could she be interested in Zhou Muchiao? She clearly saw something wrong.

This suits Lu Er's personality.

"Something's wrong with the prey?"

"I want to know what they do with the prey they catch?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.

And now they continued to move in.

I thought I would meet several people, but I didn't expect that only Zhou Muchiao came out. I don't know if there are other people in the mountains.

"It's not hunting season now. I originally thought that someone secretly bribed the guards to come in. But if it was Zhou Muchiao, it wouldn't be considered a violation of discipline, because my father and the emperor have allowed him to enter Weiming Mountain to hunt at any time." Zhou Shiyue said.

"As for the prey he hunted, he would probably roast it and eat it with his men or friends. If the fur is useful, he would give it to his mother."

Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised.

"From what you said, this young marquis is very favored? Both the emperor and the emperor like him? Even more favored than you?"

Zhou Shiyue: There is no need to say the latter sentence.

"Zhou Muchiao is much more favored than this king." He said in a light tone.

After all, according to Zhou Muqiao's identity, he posed no threat to the throne. Moreover, there were only orphans and widows left in the Zhou family, who were considered isolated ministers and were related to the royal family. As long as such people were loyal, the emperor would certainly like them.

The emperor's love for him before was also accompanied by pity and gratitude.

But he is the emperor's younger brother, and is somewhat of a threat to the throne. He has been disobedient since childhood, so it is certainly impossible for his brother to trust and pamper him.

What should I do? It sounds like he lost.

And Zhou Muchiao seems to be in good health, unlike him, with a pair of broken legs and four talismans...

Lu Zhaoling sat in front of him, her back leaning against his arms, but there was no visible change in his expression.

She thought for a moment and said to Zhou Shiyue, "You can't eat that prey. Eating it will kill you. Anyway, I'm telling you this, and it's up to you how you want to stop it."

Zhou Shiyue frowned, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled back.

"Qingfeng, follow me out."

Qing Feng immediately responded and turned his horse around to chase Zhou Muchiao.

"Qingfeng, you can also ask him where he got the prey." Lu Zhaoling said loudly.

"Yes."

They continued to walk inside, and Qing Feng quickly caught up with Zhou Muchiao.

"Little Marquis!"

When Zhou Muchiao heard the voice, he stopped his horse, turned around, and saw Qingfeng. He paused for a moment, then quickly called out his name.

"Qing Feng, right?"

"It's me." Qing Feng didn't expect that after meeting him a few years ago, Young Marquis Zhou could still recognize him accurately and remember his name.

He bowed in greeting and glanced at the prey.

"Aren't you following His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin? Has he also come to Weiming Mountain?" Zhou Muqiao asked in surprise, his eyes high and full of youthfulness, yet also very heroic, like a pine tree with extremely strong vitality.
