Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Lu Zheyu didn't speak for a long time.After a while, he said silently: "The minister and His Highness have different positions, how can we conspire together for great things?"

Shi Yunjing stopped talking now.

After a long time, a sentence popped up.

"I'm sick of you."

Lu Zheyu: "?"

Shi Yunjing: "It would be great if you were born in Chu."

Lu Zheyu: "..."

Obviously Shi Yunjing didn't know what to do, and the two of them haven't spoken for a long time.After a while, Shi Yunjing suddenly said: "I'm hungry."

Lu Zheyu hesitated: "His Royal Highness, can you bear it? It's almost dawn."

"I can't take it, I'm just hungry." Shi Yunjing began to lose his temper.

Lu Zheyu was aware of his temper, where he was really hungry, he was obviously dissatisfied with "not being born in Chu State", so he lost his temper indiscriminately.

Lu Zheyu stood up: "I'll go out and see if I can hunt anything."

Shi Yunjing looked up at him: "It's still dark, where are you going hunting?"

Lu Zheyu was really helpless now: "It won't work here. It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. If not, His Highness will have to starve first."

Shi Yunjing laughed lightly, obviously after the fever subsided, he became more energetic.

"Smart woman?"

"..."

Shi Yunjing liked to see him helpless, and was about to tease him a few more times, when she raised her eyes and inadvertently saw a gray-white hare nesting at the entrance of the cave, not sure if it was looking for food or avoiding the cold wind.

Shi Yunjing's eyes lit up, and she pointed out: "Look!"

Lu Zheyu looked in his direction, and also saw the fat and strong hare. He was about to pick up the bow and arrow, but Shi Yunjing touched the bow.

Before Lu Zheyu could stop it, Shi Yunjing had already set up the arrow and pulled the bowstring, but because this action involved the wound on his shoulder, he frowned in pain, and unconsciously let go of the bowstring.

Lu Zheyu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly supported him: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Seeing his caring expression, Shi Yunjing was in a good mood, her brows relaxed, and she said intentionally, "It's something, it hurts a little."

"..." Lu Zheyu took the bow and arrow in his hand. "I'll do it."

Shi Yunjing nodded: "Then you should be careful, in case the arrow misses, it will be hard to chase after that thing jumping out."

"I'm not going out to chase." Lu Zheyu set up the arrow, closed one eye and aimed at the rabbit.He knew that Shi Yunjing was teasing him just now, so he said, "If you miss the shot, Your Highness will only be hungry."

Shi Yunjing curled her lips, but with a whistling sound, the feathered arrow flew out, and the fluffy rabbit instantly fell to the ground without making a sound.He couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips: "That's right, I have three points of my demeanor."

Lu Zheyu knew that he could not be defeated by a verbal battle, so he simply did not speak again.He threw some dead branches into the fire, and the raging flames ignited again, and he skinned the rabbit and set it on the campfire.

The rabbit was really fat, and after a while, a strong fragrance came.Seeing that it was almost done, Lu Zheyu tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Shi Yunjing.

Shi Yunjing was indeed hungry, not to mention she hadn't eaten all night, she had exhausted a lot of energy in a fight with the assassin, she was injured and had a fever, she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.He took the rabbit leg and started to eat it.

In the past at Mingluan Hall, Shi Yunjing was always very picky about meals.A table of dishes usually put down the chopsticks after a few mouthfuls.Now under such crude conditions, it is rare for him not to be picky.

Shi Yunjing ate until his lips were covered with oil, he looked up at Lu Zheyu: "Why don't you eat?"

Lu Zheyu: "I'm not hungry, Your Highness can eat by himself."

"Why aren't you hungry?"

"..." You are too broad.

Lu Zheyu is really not hungry.In the past, during the war, I often had no time to eat all day when I was busy.During the battle between Chen and Chu at the beginning of the year, food and grass were delayed, and starvation was a common occurrence.Over time, he has long been used to it, and he will not be hungry if he does not eat.

Shi Yunjing blinked, and tentatively asked: "Did you often skip food when you were fighting?"

"..." This kid is really smart.

"You will hurt your stomach like this." Shi Yunjing whispered.As he spoke, he picked up the leftover rabbit meat that had been put on the bonfire and handed it to Lu Zheyu. "Eat as much as you want."

Lu Zheyu nodded and had no choice but to accept it. "Thank you Your Highness."

Shi Yunjing finished eating the rabbit leg in a few mouthfuls and didn't want to eat any more. He moved to Lu Zheyu's side, watched him eat and said, "Is the life in the military camp very hard?"

Lu Zheyu said: "If you get used to it, you won't feel bitter."

Shi Yunjing thought for a while, and then said: "My uncle mentioned Marquis Dingyuan to me, and he admired his strategy."

Mentioning his father, Lu Zheyu lowered his eyes.Before I knew it, it had been more than three months since I left the Hou Mansion, and I don't know how Yecheng is now.

But Shi Yunjing was thinking about the battle between Chen and Chu at the beginning of this year.Xiao Hanxu once said that in terms of military strategy, he is inferior to Lu Chi. The reason why the battle was won was not because of the bravery of the Chu army, but because of internal problems in the Chen army. The Chen royal family should have provided food and grass in time, but it was too late. , The morale of the army was unstable, and the Chu army was able to win.

Shi Yunjing blinked: "That emperor of yours has helped the Chu army a lot."

Speaking of this matter, Lu Zheyu also had a headache. Although Emperor Chongde was young, he was a kind and cowardly person. Precarious.

Lu Zheyu shook his head helplessly: "The emperor's nature is not bad, but it's a pity that he is too young and can easily go astray."

Shi Yunjing raised his eyebrows: "Emperor Chongde is young? If I remember correctly, he should be two years older than you, right?"

Lu Zheyu: "..."

"Why do you want to speak for him? Don't forget, the reason why you came to Chu as a hostage is thanks to your Majesty." Lu Zheyu smiled slyly, and shook his arm. "But that's fine, if you don't come, you won't have the chance to meet me."

Is it a good thing for me to know you?Lu Zheyu glanced at him, thinking so in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.

Shi Yunjing rested his shoulder on his shoulder and said to himself: "Your emperor is not bad in nature, but he is full of bad deeds. The Dingyuan Houfu has been loyal to the emperor for generations. The most loyal one should be the Mingjun. Your Emperor Chongde is really worthy of the word Mingjun. Is it?"

Lu Zheyu sighed: "When a treacherous minister is in power, there will naturally be someone who is Qingjun in the court. Given time, the emperor will become a Mingjun."

Shi Yunjing was already a little unhappy, he raised his head and stared at him: "What about this king? If this king becomes emperor in the future, can he be compared to your Chongde Emperor?"

Lu Zheyu narrowed his eyes: "Your Highness will naturally be a generation of virtuous monarchs."

Shi Yunjing approached him and met his gaze: "Then will you be willing to be loyal to me then?"

Lu Zheyu was slightly taken aback.The situation of the royal family of Chu State is so complicated, if he helps Shi Yunjing win the big position in the future, can he let him go back to Chen State?How will their relationship be then?

Thinking of this, he asked in a low voice: "If His Highness proclaims himself emperor, will he treat Chen Guo kindly?"

"What do you mean by being kind?" Shi Yunjing withdrew his usual cynical expression, "Chen Guo's treacherous ministers made troubles, loyal ministers and good generals suffered from suspicion, and the people of the world suffered. Is it just to expand the territory of Chu State?"

Lu Zheyu frowned, his words had already given him the answer.

Shi Yunjing continued: "In the beginning, the land of Chu State was not large, but Xirong first invaded our borders and harmed the people. If people do not attack me, I will not attack others. If people attack me, then they will take it for their own use. Emperor Gaozu is just It’s all for the sake of ending the war with war. Later, although some small border countries lived in peace, there were constant disputes inside and outside the royal family, and the people were impoverished. Do you think Chu should just sit back and ignore it?”

So annex those small countries to expand the territory of Chu.It makes sense, something doesn't sound right, but I can't find a place to refute it.

Lu Zheyu was silent for a long time without opening his mouth. Shi Yunjing let out a breath and said in a low voice, "Now you know my answer. Then are you still willing to be loyal to me?"

After a long time, Lu Zheyu lowered his eyes and said: "The minister was born in Chen Guo, and the good minister does not serve two masters. I hope Your Highness will understand."

Shi Yunjing had already guessed that he would respond this way, and he was not too disappointed, but he didn't speak for a long time, and after a while he said silently: "But I don't want you to leave, I want you to stay in Chu."

It was clearly a very calm sentence, and Lu Zheyu seemed a little aggrieved by hearing it.He came to Chu State in mid-autumn, and now it's only three months in late winter, this is the first time he saw Shi Yunjing like this.

Lu Zheyu pursed his lips, held his hand, looked into his eyes, and sighed: "At least now I am still in Chu State, no matter what grand plans your Highness has, I have said that it will do the same for dogs and horses." .”

"Then what will happen after you return to Chen Country?"

"..." Lu Zheyu took his hand. "Let's talk about it later, okay?"

"I won't, let's settle this matter now." Shi Yunjing pouted and shook his hand away.

Lu Zheyu really had a headache, the two were tied up in this cave, Shi Yunjing was still injured and had a fever, he didn't know how the topic came up.It is not known whether the two of them will be able to return to the palace safely, so why are they talking about this grand plan?

He was about to make up some excuses to get rid of it first, when Yunjing's eyes suddenly lit up: "I suddenly thought of a good idea, you can stay in Chu."

"What?" Seeing that his face changed so quickly, Lu Zheyu couldn't help showing a puzzled look.

"Hmm..." Shi Yunjing raised her eyebrows, thinking about her words, "This king hasn't married a concubine yet, you..."

Even though Shi Yunjing was embarrassed, he was too embarrassed to speak bluntly at this time, so he got up and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Zheyu's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at him in disbelief. Shi Yunjing still felt that his idea was good, and said proudly: "Although you are not as noble as this king, you are considered a good family. This king promises you not to marry me. Side concubines don't take concubines..."

Is this how the right family is used?Lu Zheyu waved his hands weakly and said, "No matter how impolite it is, Your Highness should also consider the royal bloodline. As the only eldest son of the royal family, don't you think you can't succeed?"

"Do you want me to take a concubine?" Shi Yunjing blinked in confusion.

Lu Zheyu stroked his forehead feebly, and was speechless to ask the sky, what evil did he do...
